The god of Idolatry

The Greek word that was used to describe so many Greek gods and goddesses (Theos) is actually the same word that was translated into the Septuagint and other bibles as god, but it actually means, a god. This is the same root word used in words like theology, and theologian. These words are defined as, the study of the nature of God and religious belief. But, honestly, is there anyone who truly believes that men could ever examine the nature of the TRUE GOD? This is impossible! Even the word theocracy a system of governance in which priests rule the government in the name of God or their idea of who god is, doesn’t sound very appealing considering the state; of man’s arrogance and disobedience during these final days.
Idolatry
In Exodus 20: 4-5, we read, “You shall not make unto you any graven images, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them.
The Hebrew word translated as serve is abad, and it means work or labor for. It also defines servitude such as in bondage to, or a slave of someone or something.
We know from historical documentation that in most cases any image or statue (such as Mary, Jesus and/or the cross) that people build or buy eventually becomes an object of worship, which is in contradiction to GOD’s First Commandment (Ex. 20:3): “You shall have no other gods before Me.”
Learning the Difference Between gods and GOD!
The Septuagint is a Greek version of the Old Testament Bible, which included the Apocrypha. It was created or rather translated in Egypt around the 3rd century BCE. This is where the name Iesous (Ἰησοῦς) or Jesus was first introduced to us nearly 2300 years ago. (Daniel 8: 13-14)
In the Book of Daniel, it warns us that for 2300 day/years the Sanctuary of GOD, which includes HIS MEMORIAL, the memory of HIS True Son Yehoshua, along with HIS followers (the True Ecclesia) and even HIS Sacred Text would be trampled under foot during mans hard fought rebellion against HIM!
The English Sanctuary was translated from the Hebrew miqdash or miqqedash, which derived from qodesh meaning consecrated, sacred, a holy place, (person or people) anything dedicated to GOD’s Holy Purpose.
YEHOSHUA (YESHUA)– comes from the Hebrew root Yasha, which means “to save.” That is why He was named Yehoshua: because He will “save” His people from their sins.
The name Yehoshua literally means “GOD’s Salvation” in Hebrew!
(Matthew 1: 21, CJB) Thus Yehoshua means GOD’s salvation. Also Isaiah 45:23 In the name of MYSELF I have sworn from My mouth, has rightly gone out a WORD; that will not return.
Yehoshua is the name that was originally given to us from GOD. Unfortunately, today people have chosen to follow and serve another. An ancient beast introduced (and mentioned by name) within the Greek Septuagint, he was later spread globally by European conquerors. Jesus isn’t just a misnomer, he is a completely different entity all together.
Romans 12: 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
The Greek letters above also represent the infamous numbers which, when added together equal the sum of 666.
600 (+) 60 (+) 6 = 666
We must remember, they were introduced to us in the language of Greek, not Hebrew, Latin, or English. (Revelation 13:18)
These numbers are the koine Greek representation of six hundred and sixty-six.
Beast Name
Let’s begin with the Chi which represents the beast’s name. In the past it was often written as X or XP. It was the abbreviation for “Christ.”
Xpian and Xren were also used as the shortened versions of Christian.
The Chi which is represented as X was the 22nd letter of the Koine Greek alphabet (Strong’s number 5516). This letter was also the number six hundred in Koine Greek. The X, later became , (a title) used quite frequently in the past as a monogram for the pagan name or designation of Christ. This is how the X in Xmas originated. The letter chi was used to abbreviate the title of Christ and became the most commonly encountered Christogram in the English language. The first letter of the Greek Christos was (X) not (C) which we use in English today. In the past the first two letters which made up the pagan name Christ in Greek, “Christos” were X and P (Χριστός). Together these letters were known as the Chi Rho. They later became the image, name and logo of the beast.
John 5:43 I have come in my Father’s name (Yehoshua; GOD’s Salvation), and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name (Jesus Christos), you will accept him.
Matthew 7:23 “In ‘that day’ many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we preach in your name, didn’t we cast out devils in your name, and do many great things in your name?’ Then I shall tell them plainly, ‘I have never known you. Go away from me, you have worked on the side of evil!’” (workers of iniquity)
Beast Image
The next letter/number resembles a capital E in cursive and is represented as Xi, in Koine Greek (Strong’s number 3586).
Xi (sai) it represented the number sixty (60). It was also the 14th letter of the Greek alphabet and believe it or not, it represented any structure made from wood. Xi, which could also be written as xulon or xylon (ξῠ́λον) became a description for all wood. This includes gallows, stocks, pales, poles and stakes. The traditional Christian cross (usually made of wood) with a horizontal crossbeam eventually became Xulon as well, along with the wooden crucifix (crosses that include images of a dead Jesus).
Jeremiah 2:27 (NLT)To an image carved from a piece of wood they say, ‘You are my father. ‘ To an idol chiseled from a block of stone they say, ‘You are my mother. ‘ They turn their backs on me, but in times of trouble they cry out to me, ‘Come and save us! (These are clear descriptions of the wooden cross and stone images of Mary.)
Exodus 20: 3-4 You shall have no other gods before me. 4You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
The Mark
The final letter/number is stigma or sigma, which resembles a small c with a hook at the bottom. It represents the number six (6) Strong’s number 4742.
Believe it or not, sigma is described as a distinguishing mark (or wound) burned or cut on flesh. This means that it is deeply ingrained within the hearts and minds of many, reflective in their actions.
Sigma was the 19th letter of the Koine Greek alphabet and it’s letter, was used as a noun representing, “mark, or a puncture.” It is a “sign” which was translated from the Greek word semeion. Semeion which was also translated into Christian Bibles as miracle, is better described as a phenomenon transcending the common course of nature. Now this particular sign is not a good one, it is bad, very bad. Sigma transcends beyond what is considered natural, morphing into the very definition of what is unnatural and unholy.
Sigma (the mark) also described as semeion (non-natural) warns us that these series of events brought on by the beast, could not have happened on their own. They were manufactured through his un-natural and un-holy interference.
Transcend
Transcend means to move beyond the normal course of nature. Semeion is a word which perfectly explains how the anti- messianic beast (after being introduced to the world through the little horn, the Papacy) became all that is described as blasphemous and detestable and unholy.
The word semeion explains perfectly how demons were able to successfully deceive billions of people into exchanging GOD’s Holy Shabbat, the seventh day, for Sunday (first day) rest and worship. It also explains why so many people were willing to exchange Yehoshua’s name and title “Messiah,” for a name and title used by multiple false deities from the past, “Christos.” And finally, it explains why billions of people exchanged the faithful and Spiritual worship of the ONE TRUE GOD, to engage in false worship, and blatant acts of idolatry using multiple other forms of paganism.
Χριστός is Christ in Greek.
Mark – (in English) a name, logo, or other indicator used to include ownership, origin, or level of quality.
Those who continue to engage in this deception have unknowingly received a dark and unholy stain upon themselves. Marking their foreheads, and hands with the wicked behavior of blasphemous thinking and false practice. (This is, and continues to be, the undeniably “mark of the Beast”)
Revelation 15: 2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Authors note: a sea of glass could refer to a sea where victors stand and not drown or sink into the abyss.
Sigma also describes a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance or quality of person. Together these numbers calculate into the diabolical number of six hundred and sixty-six. Name (plus) image (plus) mark (equals) the calculated number of the beast. The Greek language is the only one that will render the beast/man calculation of 666.
Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath wit count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man, and his number is, Six hundred threescore and six.
Did You Know: that Xmas and Xtmas are ancient words still used popularly today? Christmas, along with the word Xtianity, used for Christianity have been in circulation since 1634. Most of this information according to Merriam Webster’s Dictionary of English usage, came from educated Englishmen who knew their Greek.
The (image) of the cross (xulon number 60 of 666) is boldly displayed by every Christian Church around the world. This image openly unites you with the un-holy, unnatural (semeion) disposition (sign) of the beast. John warned us of the Beast and his image in the book of Revelation.
According to the book of Isaiah, Israel would suffer greatly for all their sin, disobedience, and transgressions. They were also told that children they believed were lost to them forever, would eventually return. This wasn’t an immediate prediction. It was a prediction that would come into fruition very far into the future. Speaking inherently of today.
Isaiah 49:20- 26 (ESV) The children of your bereavement will yet say in your ears: ‘the place is too narrow for me; make room for me; make room for me to dwell in. 21) (NIV) Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who bore me these? I was exiled and rejected. Who brought these up? I was left all alone, but these- where have they come from?” 22) Thus says ADONAI ELOHIM: “Look, I will lift MY HAND to the nations, and raise MY BANNER (sign) to the people! They will bring your sons on their chest (cradled like infants), and carry your daughters on their shoulders . 23) Kings will be your guardians, their princesses your nurses. They will bow down to you with their face to the ground, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I AM ADONAI- those hoping (trusting) in ME will not be ashamed.”
This speaks specifically of a prophecy promised to Avraham. Isaiah reveals that in the future, their children will acknowledge the truth. The future children of Yehuda (Yisrael) will eagerly and successfully listen and implement HIS INSTRUCTIONS!
24) Can plunder be taken from the mighty, or captives of the righteous freed? 25) For thus says ADONAI: “Yes, captives of the mighty will be taken and the prey of the tyrant will be freed. For I will oppose your adversary. I will save your children. 26) I will feed your oppressors their flesh. They will be drunk with their blood as with sweet wine. Then all flesh will know (understand, comprehend) that I, ADONAI, AM your SAVIOR and your REDEEMER, the MIGHTY ONE of Jacob.” (Yaakov)
This prophecy clearly explains how these oppressor’s will began to devour themselves and each other. Their true destruction comes from a place where they are much too arrogant to look, within!!
In the Blog article Beware! Covetousness Is Idolatry
Covetous Man – Idolater
Ephesians 5:5 says, “this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God.” The covetous man has made something other than GOD his focus so he is an idolater! It goes on to state, “Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them” (Eph. 5:6-7). Don’t let anyone deceive you or anything draw you in as a participant! Even though the wicked bless the covetous (Psa. 10:33), the Word of God is letting you know, covetousness is not okay!
The point being, covetousness is also idolatry. It is the longing for things that do not, nor should they ever belong to you. This longing, this lust, is bad for the soul and almost always end in destruction.
Ephesians 5:6-7 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.
The word empty is a translation from the Greek word kenos.
kenos (κενός) metaphorically, of endeavors, laborious acts, which result in absolutely nothing, vain, fruitless, and without effect:
Empty words are vain words that do not edify the souls of the listeners. Words that do not grow, or build. They do not bless nor do they enforce the TRUE WILL of GOD! Unfortunately many faithless teachers, ministers and political leaders, are guilty of this wicked sin. Spreading empty and vain information which neither edify, nor improve spiritual understanding. They do not bring people closer to the TRUE GOD and are much more successful in driving them further away from the truth.
Matthew 12:36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.
Ecclesiastics 4: 4 Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Jeremiah 16: 19 LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, “Our ancestors possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good.
