Delousing the Nation: Hebrew Letters in the Clouds Regarding the U.S Delousing The Nation: Hebrew Letters in the Clouds Regarding the U.S. December 8, 2016 www.SignofTheSon.com – copyright 2016, 2017 On December 8, 2016, I was prompted to take a picture of what looked like letters in the clouds. I took the first picture, then was prompted to wait, then took another picture. It turns out that in both pictures the clouds are filled with Hebrew letters! The Hebrew letters observed in the sky are a mix of modern and ancient letters. (A chart has been attached to the end of this document as a reference.) Here are the original photos: Photo #1 Photo #2 Page 2 of 17 www.SignofTheSon.com – copyright 2016, 2017 First let’s discuss Picture #2, as this is the first picture I deciphered. A mix of modern and ancient Hebrew letters fill the sky! Page 3 of 17 www.SignofTheSon.com – copyright 2016, 2017 The message is broken into an upper and a lower part.

Whose face is it? It appears to be Barack Obama, who is also mentioned in the upper part of Picture #2!

Page 12 of 17 www.SignofTheSon.com – copyright 2016, 2017 Now, let’s go over everything that was shown starting with the first picture that was deciphered. Delouse the Nation and the People! Basket Barak, who incites the poor, miserable, and meager into fear and terror in a way that is militant, revolutionist, and prompts resistance! This has been built layer upon layer upon layer upon layer by his own hand! The Lord is calling for the People of the United States to “Basket Barak” and delouse the nation of Obama and his followers. Lice cling to every hair and infest clothing. They can be difficult to remove, even leaving behind their eggs for a future infestation! If the infestation is severe enough clothes and bedding are even burned. In the same way, followers loyal to Obama are still infesting critical areas of society and government. These people need to be removed. Obama and his followers, especially the media, have influenced and incited the people to resist and rebel against the new president’s administration and policies. He has used lies, fear, and terror of the unknown to make people resist everything that the new president might do. This is likened to the French Resistance, which is symbolized by The Beret. The French Resistance was a constant thorn in the side of the invading German’s in World War 2, constantly sabotaging as much as they could to make the occupation difficult. This is the same tactic that Obama is using – a grass-roots, militant resistance, that is blindly Pro-Obama / Democratic Party, regardless of the issue at hand. The Democratic Party is currently pushing a liberal agenda that defies the word of God and the good of the American people, including unlimited Abortion, Restriction of Freedom of Religion, Restriction of Second Amendment rights, Restriction of other Constitutional rights, and even pushing an Open Borders policy (a country with no borders is no longer a country). This campaign has been waged for years and has been built layer upon layer upon layer, like an onion. It is anti-democratic and anti-American, but the people are blindly following like zombies, even without understanding what they are doing.

Meyers ___________________________ Susan Niditch An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2013 i v Copyright by Stephen Michael Wilson 2013 Abstract This study identifies and elaborates on a theme in the Hebrew Bible (HB) that has largely gone unnoticed by scholars: the transition of a male adolescent from boyhood to manhood. Beyond identifying the coming-of-age theme in different HB texts, the project also describes how the theme is employed by biblical narrators and redactors to highlight broader messages and transitions in the historical narratives of the HB. It also considers how these stories provide insight into the varying representations of biblical masculinity. The project begins by showing how the recent discussions on masculinity in the HB and biblical rites of passage are incomplete without an analysis of how a boy becomes a man in the biblical text.

RABBI DAVID KIMCHI, commonly called by the Jews from the three initial letters p"*n RaDaK, was probably born at Narbonne, where his father lived.* Relandf con- siders it doubtful, because, in his printed and manuscript " works, he calls himself, David, the son of Joseph, the son of Kimchi the Spaniard," whereas Narbonne is in France. But the vicinity to Spain, and the fact that his family was Spanish, and that he himself was altogether identified with the Spanish school of Hebrew learning-, would fully warrant this title. J But, however that be, it is certain that his life and labours present an interesting incident in the literary history of an eventful period. Jost (in his Geschichte der Israeliten, vol. vi. 104) says unhesi- tatingly, that he was born there, but the only authority which he gives that is of Wolfius, who does not speak so positively. f Vitae celeb.

The Jews therefore in awaiting the Messiah also awaited the appearance of His Forerunner. In a city of the hills of Judea in the land of Palestine lived the righteous priest Saint Zachariah and his wife Saint Elizabeth, zealously observing the commandments of the Lord. The couple, however, had a misfortune: they remained childless in their old age, and they prayed unceasingly to God to grant them a child. Once, when Saint Zachariah took his turn as priest at the Temple of Jerusalem, he went into the Sanctuary to offer incense. Going behind the veil of the Sanctuary, he beheld an angel of God standing at the right side of the altar of incense. Saint Zachariah was astonished and halted in fear, but the angel said to him, “Fear not, Zachariah, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.” But Zachariah did not believe the words of the heavenly messenger, and then the angel said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you the good news.

  • The Messianic Scapegoat in the Apocalypse of Abraham
    The Messianic Scapegoat in the Apocalypse of Abraham . for there is no light except that which issues from darkness, for when that “Other Side” is subdued the Holy One is exalted in glory. In fact, there can be no true worship except that which comes from darkness, and there is no good except that which comes from evil. —Zohar II.184a Introduction In the Apocalypse of Abraham 29, the Deity reveals to the seer one of the most profound eschatological mysteries. The revelation deals with the appearance of a future messianic leader of humankind, an ambiguous character depicted in very obscure terms. Apocalypse of Abraham 29:4–13 reads: <And I looked> and saw a man going out from the left side of the heathen. Men and women and children, great crowds, went out from the side of the heathen and they worshiped him. <And> while I was still looking, those on the right side went out, and some shamed this man, and some struck him, and some worshiped him. <And> I saw that as they worshiped him, Azazel ran and worshiped, and having kissed his face he turned and stood behind him. And I said, “Eternal Mighty One! Who is this shamed and struck man, worshiped by the heathen with Azazel?” And 103 104 ■ Divine Scapegoats he answered and said, “Hear, Abraham, the man whom you saw shamed and struck and again worshiped is the laxity of the heathen for the people who will come from you in the last days, in this twelfth hour of the age of impiety.
