Daily Tidbits 5/9 – Jerusalem Above vs. Jerusalem Below

The body of Messiah & the land are linked together

Deu 32:43 Rejoice, O nations, of His people; for He shall avenge the blood of His servants, and shall render vengeance to His foes, and shall have mercy on His land and His people.

His land and His people is literally ‘His land, His people’

Zion = a land & a people

Isa 51:16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

Isa 60:14 Also the sons of ones afflicting you shall come bowing to you. And all who despised you shall fall at the soles of your feet. And they shall call you, The City of Jehovah, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

Isa 62:11 Behold, YHWH has made it to be heard to the end of the earth; Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold! Your salvation comes! Behold! His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.
Isa 62:12 And they shall call them, The Holy People, the Redeemed of YHWH. And to you it shall be called, Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.

Mat 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city situated on a mountain cannot be hidden.
Mat 5:15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under the grain measure, but on the lampstand; and it shines for all those in the house.
Mat 5:16 So let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father in Heaven.

Rev 21:9 And one of the seven angels came to me, he having the seven bowls being filled with the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.

Rev 21:10 And he carried me in spirit onto a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, holy Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God,

Rev 21:11 having the glory of God. And its light was like a very precious stone, as a jasper stone, being clear as crystal,
Rev 21:12 and having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates and names having been inscribed, which are of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.

The people, the land, & the Covenant are linked

Lev 26:42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

His Name

1Ki 14:21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

The land is linked with the Temple

1Ki 9:3 And YHWH said to him, I have heard your prayer and your supplication with which you have made supplication before Me; I have sanctified this house that you have built to put My name there forever; and My eyes and My heart shall be there forever.

Deu 12:5 But unto the place {מקום ‘maqom’} which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:

מקום is linked with His name, the Temple & ‘seeing’ God

The numerical value of YHWH is 26 which corresponds to the three space dimensions: length, width and depth which contain 6 surfaces, 12 lines and 8 points (26).

The numerical value of מקום = 746

This is equal to the Name

Lev 24:11 And the son of the woman of Israel blasphemed the Name, and cursed. And they brought him in to Moses; and his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

Profaning His name is the 3rd commandment spoken by YHWH in Exodus 20. It was the 3rd day of creation that the dry land appeared.

Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be collected to one place (מקום), and let the dry land appear. And it was so.

Amazingly, Jesus of Nazareth has the same numerical value as מקום and the Name.

This number 746 also links to His body. The word for ‘Christian’ (נצרות ‘Naztrut’) is 746. The phrase, ‘therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD , that I am El’ equals 746. And the Greek word ‘authority’ has the same numerical value.

Rev 2:26 And the one overcoming, and the one keeping My works* until the end, “I will give to him authority over the nations,”

Rev 2:27 and “He will shepherd them with an iron staff” (they are “broken to pieces like clay vessels”), as I also have received from My Father. Psa. 2:8, 9

*The numerical value of מקום without using the final form as 400 but as 40 (normal value) is 186. ‘His work’ in Hebrew (פעלו ‘pa’alu’) also has the numerical value of 186.

YHWH is also related to 186. Take each of the letters from YHWH, square them (since a “place” is an area, so squared units), and you get 100+25+36+25=186.

Gen 28:16 And Jacob awakened from his sleep, and said, Surely YHWH is in this place (במקום ‘bamaqom’), and I did not know.

Gen 28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place (מקום)! This is nothing except the house of God, and this is the door to Heaven.
Gen 28:18 And Jacob started up early in the morning and took the stone which he had placed at his head, and he placed it as a pillar; and he poured oil on the top of it.
Gen 28:19 And he called the name of that place, The House of God. And yet the name of the city was at first Luz.

Literally, in the hills of this area the Name of YHWH is carved out

So it is seen that His Name is linked to the land, the land is also linked to the hand, where the mark is placed.

The hand = body of Messiah

Lines drawn into the ‘hand’ of the Most High

Isa 49:15 Can a woman forget her suckling child, from pitying the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will surely not forget you.
Isa 49:16 Behold, I have carved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are always before Me.

WALLS=Lines on Hands=12 Walls of Israel

Rev 21:12 and having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates and names having been inscribed, which are of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
Rev 21:13 From the east, three gates; from the north, three gates; from the south, three gates; and from the west, three gates.
Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:15 And he speaking with me had a golden reed, that he may measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
Rev 21:16 And the city lies four cornered, even its length as much as the width also. And he measured the city with the reed at twelve thousand stadia; its length and width and height are equal.
Rev 21:17 And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty four cubits, a measure of a man, which is of an angel.
Rev 21:18 And the structure of its wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like pure glass.
Rev 21:19 And the foundation of the wall of the city having been adorned with every precious stone: The first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
Rev 21:20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; respectively each one of the gates was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass.
Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, even the Lamb.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they might shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it, even its lamp is the Lamb.
Rev 21:24 And the nations of the ones saved will walk in its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
Rev 21:25 And its gates may not at all be shut by day, for no night will be there.
Rev 21:26 And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
Rev 21:27 And all profaning may not at all enter into it, or any making an abomination or a lie; but only the ones having been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.

12 lines on the 4 fingers=12 tribes, 12 walls

The Palm of hands have 3 lines forming the letter shin. This links to the promised land. As is seen in Mark of the Beast part 2, the letter shin is used in occult thought to represent 666. Again the counterfeit concept is displayed when exposing the mark of the beast.

The Land is linked with the People

Deu 32:43 Rejoice, O nations, of His people; for He shall avenge the blood of His servants, and shall render vengeance to His foes, and shall have mercy on His land and His people.

– literally His land, His people: אדמתו עמו ‘admato amo.’

In the reference to the 12 tribes and the walls of New Jerusalem above the same concept is seen. It is referred to as His Bride. His Bride is a people and a land.

Rev 21:9 And one of the seven angels came to me, he having the seven bowls being filled with the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me in spirit onto a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, holy Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God,

The word for tribes is שׁבט ‘shebet’ which is pictured in the natural by a branch or scion

H7626 שׁבט shêbeṭ shay’-bet
From an unused root probably meaning to branch off; a scion, that is, (literally) a stick (for punishing, writing, fighting, ruling, walking, etc.) or (figuratively) a clan: – X correction, dart, rod, sceptre, staff, tribe.

The Olive Tree (Romans 11:17-27)

Joh 15:5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one abiding in Me, and I in him, this one bears much fruit, because apart from Me you are not able to execute, nothing.

Rom 11:16 For if the firstfruit (1 Corinthians 15:52 -Messiah) be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root (Isaiah 6:13; Galatians 3:16 – Messiah) be holy, so are the branches (John 15:5).

Isa 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem (גּזע geza‛)of Jesse, and a Branch{נצר ‘netser’} shall grow (פרה ‘parah’ -bear fruit) out of his roots:

נצר ‘netser’ is the origin of the name ‘Christian’.Netsarim

The following prophecy is speaking of the Messiah and the 7 Spirits which rest upon Him (Revelation 4:5; 5:6), corresponding to the 7 Branches of the Menorah.

Isa 11:2 And the Spirit of YHWH shall rest on Him; He will have the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and power, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHWH.
Isa 11:3 And He is made to breathe in the fear of YHWH. But He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears.

WILD BRANCHES GRAFTED IN
Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

NATURAL BRANCHES GRAFTED IN
Rom 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

GRAFTING (SCION)
What is the definition of scion(pronounced Zion)?

Webster’s 1828 Dictionary:

Scion
SCION. [See Cion.]
Cion
CION, n. A young shoot, twig or sprout of a tree, or plant, or rather the cutting of a twig, intended for ingrafting on another stock; also, the shoot or slip inserted in a stock for propagation.

Isa 51:16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

True Zion are those who are grafted into the Olive Tree of Israel, who is Messiah. The counterfeit is the Zionism we see in the world today which uplifts a false olive tree of Israel. As Paul says, not all those of Israel are Israel (Romans 9:6).

Those grafted into the Olive Tree are Zion, the new creation…born again.

2Pe 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
2Pe 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature {φύσις phusis}

G5449 φύσις phusis
foo’-sis
From G5453; growth (by germination or expansion), that is, (by implication) natural production (lineal descent); by extension a genus or sort; figuratively native disposition, constitution or usage: – ([man-]) kind, nature ([-al]).

What is the counterfeit? A false Olive Tree, a false grafting in process, a false Zion…partaking of the ‘divine nature’ of the adversary, the original ‘beast’ of Scripture (Genesis 3:1).

Gal 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Gal 6:16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

The Olive Tree is Jesus, when we are grafted into Him we partake of His divine nature. We become the Israel of God.

Rom 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

The Messiah is Israel
Isa 49:3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. {The Servant who glorifies God is Messiah – Isaiah 42:1; 52:13; 53:10; Zechariah 3:8; Philippians 2:7; John 13:31-32; 17:4)
Isa 49:5 And now, saith the LORD that formed me from }he womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.
Isa 49:6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel.I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation (‘yeshua’) unto the end of the earth.

The Holy Spirit makes it clear that this prophecy is speaking of Jesus our Lord.

Luk 2:29 Now, Master, You will let Your slave go in peace according to Your Word;
Luk 2:30 because my eyes saw Your Salvation,
Luk 2:31 which You prepared before the face of all the peoples;
Luk 2:32 a Light for revelation to the nations, and the Glory of Your people Israel.

The counterfeit

Above we see that the people, the land & the covenant are all linked. The Temple & the body/bride of Messiah are linked to this covenant and land as well. The adversary seeks to counterfeit this with a false, corrupt body, corrupted land, corrupt covenant, and corrupt temple.

For a time while Israel was in rebellion and following Baal and Asherah, the pentagram was the seal of Jerusalem. The pentagram is a symbol of the mark of the beast.

This will be replayed in the end when the adversary seeks to set up a false Garden of Eden and sit on the sides of the north (Isaiah 14:13; Psalm 48:2). This is why the book of Revelation refers to Jerusalem as Sodom & Egypt at that time.

Rev 11:8 And their bodies will be on the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom, and Egypt, where our Lord was crucified.

Jerusalem’s latitude and longitude at the exact center of the city totals 666. N 31:47 and E 35:13 = 3147 + 3513 = 6660 = 666.

Interestingly, at the 31:47N, 35:13E, the hotel of Arcadia is found. The hotel boasts as being directly in the center of the city of Jerusalem. As seen in Mark of the Beast part 10, Arcadia is another name for Atlantis, the false garden of Eden.

Paul makes reference to this concept in Galatians when comparing Jerusalem above versus Jerusalem below. Spirit vs flesh, freedom vs bondage. Isaac vs Ishmael. Zion vs Zionism.

Gal 4:22 For it has been written, Abraham had two sons, one out of the slave woman and one out of the free woman.
Gal 4:23 But, indeed, he of the slave woman has been born according to flesh, and he out of the free woman through the promise,
Gal 4:24 which things are being allegorized, for these are two covenants, one, indeed, from Mount Sinai bringing forth to slavery (which is Hagar,
Gal 4:25 for Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, and she slaves with her children),
Gal 4:26 but the Jerusalem from above is free, who is the mother of us all;
Gal 4:27 for it has been written, “Be glad, barren one not bearing; break forth and shout, the one not travailing; for more are the children of the desolate rather than she having the husband.” Isa. 54:1
Gal 4:28 But, brothers, we are children of promise according to Isaac.
Gal 4:29 But then, even as he born according to flesh persecuted the one according to Spirit, so it is also now.
Gal 4:30 But what says the Scripture? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for in no way shall the son of the slave woman inherit with the son of the free woman.” Gen. 21:10
Gal 4:31 Then, brothers, we are not children of a slave woman but of the free woman.

Paul also speaks of not all Israel being Israel and uses the same language as the above verses. The children of the promise are true Israel.

Rom 9:6 Not, however, that God’s Word has failed. For not all those of Israel are Israel,
Rom 9:7 nor because they are Abraham’s seed are all children, but “In Isaac a Seed shall be called to you.” Gen. 21:12
Rom 9:8 That is: Not the children of flesh are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted for a seed.

Counterfeit Garden of Eden

The Scriptures speak of when the Messiah returns and establishes His kingdom, the earth will be restored to its original state (Garden of Eden)

Isa 51:3 For YHWH comforts Zion. He comforts all her desolations, and He makes her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of YHWH; joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving and the voice of singing praise.
Eze 36:33 So says the Lord YHWH: In the day I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built.
Eze 36:34 And the desolated land shall be cultivated, rather than being a ruin in the eyes of all passing by.
Eze 36:35 And they shall say, This land that was desolated has become like the garden of Eden. And the wasted and desolated and razed cities are fortified and inhabited.
Eze 36:36 And the nations left all around you shall know that I, YHWH, built the razed places and planted that which was desolated. I, YHWH have spoken it and will do it.

The adversary will counterfeit this paradise state. When the day of the Lord comes, it comes upon a time of a counterfeit Eden (paradise).

Joe 2:1 Blow a ram’s horn in Zion, and shout an alarm in My holy mountain. Let all those living in the land tremble. For the day of YHWH approaches; it is near,
Joe 2:2 a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread out on the mountains, a great and a strong people. There has never been the like, nor shall there ever be again to the years of many generations;
Joe 2:3 a fire devours before it, and a flame burns behind it. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them is a desolate wilderness; yea, also there is no escape to them.

Sodom and Gomorrah likened to the Garden of Eden

Gen 13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the circuit of Jordan, that it was well-watered before YHWH destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even like the garden of YHWH, like the land of Egypt as you come to Zoar.

What is the land of Israel called in the end times?
Rev 11:8 And their bodies will be on the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom, and Egypt, where our Lord was crucified.

Genesis 13:10 also likens this false Eden to Egypt. This is where Israel was in bondage and slavery before deliverance. So too in the end there will be slavery and bondage as the prophets speak of the Exodus in the end being likened to the Egyptian exodus (Micah 7:15; Jeremiah 16:14-21).

After the counterfeit dividing of the land, the fallen angels and false Israel will enslave the ‘goyim’ as a counterfeit fulfillment of the Kingdom of Heaven where Jesus rules as King and His kings and priests rule the earth with a rod of iron (Revelation 2:26-27; 12:5; Daniel 2:44) .

Joe 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

Notice that the dividing of the land is linked to slavery

Joe 3:3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
Isa 14:2 And the peoples shall take them and bring them to their own place. And the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of YHWH for slaves and slave girls. And they shall be captives of their captors; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Isa 14:24 YHWH of Hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so it shall be; and as I have purposed, it shall rise up;
Isa 14:25 to break Assyria {code for antichrist…more on this below} in My land, and trample him on My mountains. Then his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden shall depart from his shoulders.
Isa 14:26 This is the purpose that is purposed on all the earth; and this the hand that is stretched out on all the nations.

“When the Messiah comes, all will be slaves of the Jews”. (Talmud, Erubin 43b)

Heavenly Jerusalem vs. Earthly Jerusalem

In his letter to Galatians, Paul compares earthly Jerusalem with Heavenly Jerusalem. There are numerous links to the current study in Galatians 4.

Gal 4:1 But I say, Over so long a time the heir is an infant, he being lord of all, does not differ from a slave,
Gal 4:2 but is under guardians and housemasters {The Aramaic of this word hints to the religious authority of that time ‘Rabai batay’ ܒܬalso used in 1 Corinthians 4:1; Luke 12:42} until the term set before by the father.
Gal 4:3 So we also, when we were infants, we were under the elements of the world {Colossians 2:8}, being enslaved {compare Ezekiel 16:1-15; Deuteronomy 24:18; Jeremiah 17:4; Lamentations 5:1-8; Hosea 4:6; Exodus 20:23-25}.
Gal 4:4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, having come into being out of a woman, having come under Law,
Gal 4:5 that He might redeem the ones under Law, that we might receive the adoption of sons {This is links to Romans 8 and the adoption as sons of God, no longer under the slavery of sinful flesh).
Gal 4:6 And because you are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba! Father!
Gal 4:7 So that you no more are a slave, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.
Gal 4:8 But then, indeed, not knowing God, you served as slaves to the ones by nature not being gods {Before Messiah, man was under the influence of the Mystery religions…ie Babylon, the origin of which came forth from the Sons of God spoken of in Genesis 6}.
Gal 4:9 But now, knowing God, but rather being known by God, how do you turn again to the weak and poor elements to which you desire again to slave anew?
Gal 4:10 You observe days and months and seasons and years

Gal 4:11 I fear for you, lest somehow I have labored among you in vain.

Jerusalem above vs. Jerusalem below.

Gal 4:22 For it has been written, Abraham had two sons, one out of the slave woman and one out of the free woman.
Gal 4:23 But, indeed, he of the slave woman has been born according to flesh, and he out of the free woman through the promise,
Gal 4:24 which things are being allegorized, for these are two covenants, one, indeed, from Mount Sinai bringing forth to slavery (which is Hagar,
Gal 4:25 for Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, and she slaves with her children),
Gal 4:26 but the Jerusalem from above is free, who is the mother of us all;
Gal 4:27 for it has been written, “Be glad, barren one not bearing; break forth and shout, the one not travailing; for more are the children of the desolate rather than she having the husband.” Isa. 54:1
Gal 4:28 But, brothers, we are children of promise according to Isaac.
Gal 4:29 But then, even as he born according to flesh persecuted the one according to Spirit, so it is also now.
Gal 4:30 But what says the Scripture? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for in no way shall the son of the slave woman inherit with the son of the free woman.” Gen. 21:10
Gal 4:31 Then, brothers, we are not children of a slave woman but of the free woman.

The Promise is His Word, the Gospel. The aim of which is man returning to the Most High through Messiah Jesus. A perfect bride that partakes of His Divine Nature.
2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature.

What is the counterfeit? A false Olive Tree, a false grafting in process, a false Zion…partaking of the ‘divine nature’ of the adversary, the original ‘beast’ of Scripture (Genesis 3:1).

Gal 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Gal 6:16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

The Land & inheritance is linked to being marked.

Believers in Messiah are the CHOSEN PEOPLE who are MARKED with the MARK OF YHWH, they will receive the INHERITANCE. The counterfeit is the false chosen people, the mark of the beast, the false inheritance.

Lamsa Aramaic translation

Eph 1:4 Just as from the beginning he has chosen us through him, before the foundation of the world, that we may become holy and without blemish before him.
Eph 1:5 And he marked us with his love to be his from the beginning, and adopted us to be sons through Jesus Christ, as it pleased his will.
Eph 1:11 in whom we also have been chosen to an inheritance, being marked according to the purpose of the One working all things according to the counsel of His own will,

Chosen is translated from the following Greek word:

G2820
κληρόω
klēroō
Thayer Definition:
1) to cast lots, determine by lot
2) to choose by lot
3) to allot, assign by lot
3a) on to another as a possession
4) in NT: to make a lot, i.e. a heritage, private possession
Part of Speech: verb
A Related Word by Thayer’s/Strong’s Number: from G2819

This division of land and the inheritance received is associated with being marked:

Psa 87:5 And it shall be said to Zion, This man and that man was born in her; and the Highest Himself shall establish her.

Psa 87:6 In recording the peoples YHWH shall mark down, This man was born there. Selah.

Marked and Chosen

Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is, the redemption of our bodies.
Rom 8:24 For we live in hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for if we see it, why should we yet hope?
Rom 8:25 But if we hope for that which we do not see, then do we wait for it in patience.
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps our weaknesses: for we do not know what is right and proper for us to pray for: but the Spirit prays for us with that earnestness which cannot be described.
Rom 8:27 And he who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, for the Spirit prays for the saints according to the will of God.
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Rom 8:29 He knew them in advance and he marked them with the likeness of the image of his Son that he might be the first-born among many brethren.
Rom 8:30 Moreover, those he did mark in advance, he has called, and those he has called, he has declared righteous, and those he has declared righteous, he has glorified

The adversary seeks to counterfeit Isaiah 14:2 where Israel rules and reigns with Messiah.

Isa 14:2 And the peoples shall take them and bring them to their own place. And the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of YHWH for slaves and slave girls. And they shall be captives of their captors; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

Who is the oppressor of true Israel in the end? The Assyrian.

Isa 14:24 YHWH of Hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so it shall be; and as I have purposed, it shall rise up;
Isa 14:25 to break Assyria in My land, and trample him on My mountains. Then his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden shall depart from his shoulders.
Isa 14:26 This is the purpose that is purposed on all the earth; and this the hand that is stretched out on all the nations.

Who was the ‘god’ of the Assyrians?

Kiyyun

Strong’s #3594 – Kiyuwn {kee-yoon’} from 3559; n pr dei AV – Chiun 1; 1 Chiun = “an image” or “pillar” 1) probably a statue of the Assyrian-Babylonian god of the planet Saturn and used to symbolise Israelite apostasy

“Chiun is sometimes called Kaiwan, or spelled Khiun, and means star. The star of Saturn was a god… Sakkuth and Kaiwan or Chiun are objects of idolatrous worship and are Assyrian gods. In Akkadian texts both names mean the planet or star, Saturn.” (O.J. Graham, The Six-Pointed Star, pp. 28-29)

As seen in previous studies, the star of Saturn is the hexagram. It is no surprise that the false state of Israel has this image on their flag.

False Eden, False Zion, False Jerusalem is equated with 666.

666 – Where heaven touches earth

“Mosad Hayesod” cites the Vilna Gaon’s commentary on the Zohar that “the number 666 contains hidden within it exalted and lofty messianic potential.”
We do know that the number six represents the physical world. The Torah describes the creation of the universe as a six part, six day, process. Our ancient sources describe the universe as emanating in six directions — north, south, east, west, up, down — from a central point. All physical space and all physical objects have these six dimensions.

666 is six repeated three times. Repeating a concept three times represents the affirmation and strength of that concept. The number 666 could thus represent the strength and perfection of the physical world, which Judaism teaches will occur in the messianic era, when the physical world will reach its ultimate purpose, to be a vehicle through which the created experience the Creator.”

The Holy Mountain is Eden

Eze 28:13 You have been in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was your covering; the ruby, the topaz, and the jasper, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the turquoise, and the carbuncle, and gold; the workmanship of your tambourines and of your flutes in you. In the day you were created, they were prepared.
Eze 28:14 You were the anointed cherub that covers, and I had put you in the holy heights (הו ‘har’ – mountain) of God, where you were. You walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

This is where the adversary seeks to reign.

Isa 14:13 For you have said In your heart, I will go up to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit in the mount of meeting, in the sides of the north.
Isa 14:14 I will rise over the heights of the clouds; I will be compared to the Most High.

In the book of Enoch, Enoch is taken to the Garden of Eden where there are seven mountains like unto the Menorah with the middle mountain being the Throne of God.

Enoch 17:6-8
I saw at the end of the earth the firmament of the heaven above. And I proceeded and saw a place which burns day and night, where there are seven mountains of magnificent stones, three towards the east, and three towards the south. 7. And as for those towards the east, 〈one〉was of coloured stone, and one of pearl, and one of jacinth, and those towards the south of red stone. 8. But the middle one reached to heaven like the throne of God, of alabaster, and the summit of the throne was of sapphire.

Enoch 24:1. ⌈⌈And from thence I went to another place of the earth⌉⌉, and he showed me a mountain range of fire which burnt ⌈⌈day and night⌉⌉. 2. And I went beyond it and saw seven magnificent mountains all differing each from the other, and the stones (thereof) were magnificent and beautiful, magnificent as a whole, of glorious appearance and fair exterior: ⌈⌈three towards⌉⌉ the east, ⌈⌈one⌉⌉ founded on the other, and three towards the south, one upon the other, and deep rough ravines, no one of which joined with any other. 3. And the seventh mountain was in the midst of these, and it excelled them in height, resembling the seat of a throne: and fragrant trees encircled the throne. 4. And amongst them was a tree such as I had never yet smelt, neither was any amongst them nor were others like it: it had a fragrance beyond all fragrance, and its leaves and blooms and wood wither not for ever: and its fruit ⌈⌈is beautiful, and its fruit⌉⌉ resembles the dates of a palm. 5. Then I said: ‘⌈How⌉ beautiful is this tree, and fragrant, and its leaves are fair, and its blooms ⌈⌈very⌉⌉ delightful in appearance.’ 6. Then answered Michael, one of the holy ⌈⌈and honoured⌉⌉ angels who was with me, and was their leader.

Enoch 25:1. And he said unto me: ‘Enoch, why dost
thou ask me regarding the fragrance of the tree, and ⌈why⌉ dost thou wish to learn the truth?’ Then I answered him ⌈⌈saying⌉⌉: ‘I wish to know about everything, but especially about this tree.’ And he answered saying: ‘This high mountain ⌈⌈which thou hast seen⌉⌉, whose summit is like the throne of God, is His throne, where the Holy Great One, the Lord of Glory, the Eternal King, will sit, when He shall come down to visit the earth with goodness. 4. And as for this fragrant tree no mortal is permitted to touch it till the great judgement, when He shall take vengeance on all and bring (everything) to its consummation for ever. It shall then be given to the righteous and holy. 5. Its fruit shall be for food to the elect: it shall be transplanted to the holy place, to the temple of the Lord, the Eternal King.
6 Then shall they rejoice with joy and be glad,
And into the holy place shall they enter;
And its fragrance shall be in their bones,
And they shall live a long life on earth,
Such as thy fathers lived:
And in their days shall no ⌈⌈sorrow or⌉⌉ plague
Or torment or calamity touch them.’
7 Then blessed I the God of Glory, the Eternal King, who hath prepared such things for the righteous, and hath created them and promised to give to them.

Interestingly, Enoch describes the Holy Mountain of God in the same terms as Ezekiel. The adversary will attempt to counterfeit this holy mountain (Isa 14; Rev 17:9)

Rev 17:9 Here is the mind having wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman sits on them.

The restoration of Eden, the coming Kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a wedding.

Isa 62:3 You also shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
Isa 62:4 You no longer shall be called Forsaken; nor shall your land any longer be called Desolate. But you shall be called, My Delight is in Her; and your land, Married. For YHWH delights in you, and your land is married.
Isa 62:5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you. And as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God shall rejoice over you.
Isa 62:6 I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem. All the day and all the night they shall not always be silent; you who remember YHWH, do not let a pause be to you.
Isa 62:7 And give no pause to Him until He sets up and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Isa 62:8 YHWH has sworn by His right hand, and by the might of His arm: Surely I will no longer give your grain as food for your enemies; and the sons of a stranger shall not drink your new wine for which you have labored.
Isa 62:9 But those who have gathered it shall eat it, and praise YHWH. And they who have collected it shall drink it in My holy courts.
Isa 62:10 Pass! Pass through the gates; prepare the way of the people! Raise up! Raise up the highway; clear it from stones; lift up a banner over the peoples.
Isa 62:11 Behold, YHWH has made it to be heard to the end of the earth; Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold! Your salvation comes! Behold! His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.
Isa 62:12 And they shall call them, The Holy People, the Redeemed of YHWH. And to you it shall be called, Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.

Rev 21:9 And one of the seven angels came to me, he having the seven bowls being filled with the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me in spirit onto a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, holy Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God,
