- Counting of the Omer is a counting of each of the
forty-nine days between the Jewish holidays of
Passover and Shavuot. This mitzvah derives from
the Torah commandment to count forty-nine days
beginning from the day on which the Omer, a
sacrifice containing an omer-measure of barley,
was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem, up until
the day before an offering of wheat was brought
to the Temple on Shavuot (June 7th this year)

26Lev 21
- 1 ADONAI said to Moshe, "Speak to the cohanim,
the sons of Aharon tell them 'No cohen is to
make himself unclean for any of his people who
dies, 2 except for his close relatives -his
mother, father, son, daughter and brother 3 he
may also make himself unclean for his virgin
sister who has never married and is therefore
dependent on him. 4 He may not make himself
unclean, because he is a leader among his people
doing so would profane him.
27Lev 21
- 5 Cohanim are not to make bald spots on their
heads, mar the edges of their beards or cut
gashes in their flesh. 6 Rather, they are to be
holy for their God and not profane the name of
their God. For they are the ones who present
ADONAI with offerings made by fire, the bread of
their God therefore they must be holy. 7 "'A
cohen is not to marry a woman who is a
prostitute, who has been profaned or who has been
divorced because he is holy for his God.
28Lev 21
- 8 Rather, you are to set him apart as holy,
because he offers the bread of your God he is to
be holy for you, because I, ADONAI, who makes you
holy, am holy. 9 The daughter of a cohen who
profanes herself by prostitution profanes her
father she is to be put to death by fire. 10
"'The cohen who is ranked highest among his
brothers, the one on whose head the anointing oil
is poured and who is consecrated to put on the
garments, is not to stop grooming his hair, tear
his clothes,
29Lev 21
- 11 go in to where any dead body is or make
himself unclean, even when his father or mother
dies. 12 He may not leave the sanctuary then or
profane the sanctuary of his God, because the
consecration of the anointing oil of his God is
on him I am ADONAI. 13 "'He is to marry a
virgin
30Lev 21
- 14 he may not marry a widow, divorcee, profaned
woman or prostitute but he must marry a virgin
from among his own people 15 and not disqualify
his descendants among his people because I am
ADONAI, who makes him holy.'" 16 ADONAI said to
Moshe, 17 "Tell Aharon, 'None of your descendants
who has a defect may approach to offer the bread
of his God.
31Lev 21
- 18 No one with a defect may approach - no one
blind, lame, with a mutilated face or a limb too
long, 19 a broken foot or a broken arm, 20 a
hunched back, stunted growth, a cataract in his
eye, festering or running sores, or damaged
testicles -
32Lev 21
- 21 no one descended from Aharon the cohen who has
such a defect may approach to present the
offerings for ADONAI made by fire he has a
defect and is not to approach to offer the bread
of his God. 22 He may eat the bread of his God,
both the especially holy and the holy
33Lev 21
- 23 only he is not to go in to the curtain or
approach the altar, because he has a defect - so
that he will not profane my holy places, because
I am ADONAI, who makes them holy.'" 24 Moshe said
these things to Aharon, his sons and all the
people of Isra'el. - END Baruch HaShem
34Ez 44 15 - end of chapter
- 15 "'However, the cohanim, who are L'vi'im and
descendants of Tzadok, who took care of my
sanctuary when the people of Isra'el went astray
from me - they are the ones who will approach me
and serve me it is they who will attend me and
offer me the fat and the blood,' says Adonai
ELOHIM. 16 'They will enter my sanctuary,
approach my table to minister to me and perform
my service.
35Ez 44 15 - end of chapter
- 17 "'Once they enter the gates of the inner
courtyard, they are to wear linen clothing they
are not to wear any wool while serving at the
gates of the inner courtyard or inside it. 18
They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and
linen underclothes on their bodies, and they are
not to wear anything that makes them sweat. 19
Before going out to the people in the outer
courtyard, they are to remove the clothes in
which they minister, lay them in the holy rooms,
and put on other clothes so that they won't
transmit holiness to the people by means of their
clothing.
36Ez 44 15 - end of chapter
- 20 They are not to shave their heads or let their
hair grow long, but must keep their hair
carefully trimmed. 21 No cohen is to drink wine
when he enters the inner courtyard. 22 They may
not marry a widow or a divorcee but must marry
virgins descended from the house of Isra'el or a
widow whose deceased husband was a cohen. 23
"'They are to teach my people the difference
between holy and common and enable them to
distinguish between clean and unclean.
37Ez 44 15 - end of chapter
- 24 They are to be judges in controversies, and
they are to render decisions in keeping with my
rulings. At all my designated festivals they are
to keep my laws and regulations, and they are to
keep my shabbats holy. 25 They are not to come to
any dead person, because this would make them
unclean however, for father, mother, son,
daughter, brother or sister who has had no
husband they may make themselves unclean.
38Ez 44 15 - end of chapter
- 26 After a cohen has been purified, he is to wait
seven days. 27 Then, on the day he enters the
sanctuary, when he goes into the inner courtyard
to minister in the sanctuary, he is to offer his
sin offering,' says Adonai ELOHIM. 28 "'Their
inheritance is to be this I myself am their
inheritance. You are not to grant them any
possession in Isra'el - I myself am their
possession.
39Ez 44 15 - end of chapter
- 29 They are to eat the grain offerings, sin
offerings and guilt offerings and everything in
Isra'el devoted to God will be theirs.
40Ez 44 15 - end of chapter
- 30 The first of all the firstfruits of
everything, and every voluntary contribution of
everything, from all your offerings, will be for
the cohanim. You are also to give the cohen the
first of your dough, so that a blessing will rest
on your house.
41Ez 44 15 - end of chapter
- 31 The cohanim are not to eat anything, bird or
animal, that dies naturally or is torn to death. - END Baruch HaShem
42Luke 18 31- end of chapter.
- 31 Then, taking the Twelve, Yeshua said to them,
"We are now going up to Yerushalayim, where
everything written through the prophets about the
Son of Man will come true. 32 For he will be
handed over to the Goyim and be ridiculed,
insulted and spat upon. 33 Then, after they have
beaten him, they will kill him. But on the third
day he will rise."
43Luke 18 31- end of chapter.
- 34 However, they understood none of this its
meaning had been hidden from them, and they had
no idea what he was talking about. 35 As Yeshua
approached Yericho, a blind man was sitting by
the road, begging. 36 When he heard the crowd
going past, he asked what it was all about 37
and they told him, "Yeshua from Natzeret is
passing by."
44Luke 18 31- end of chapter.
- 38 He called out, "Yeshua! Son of David! Have
pity on me!" 39 Those in front scolded him in
order to get him to shut up, but he shouted all
the louder, "Son of David! Have pity on me!" 40
Yeshua stopped and ordered the man to be brought
to him. When he had come, Yeshua asked him,
45Luke 18 31- end of chapter.
- 41 "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind
man said, "Lord, let me be able to see." 42
Yeshua said to him, "See again! your trust has
healed you!" 43 Instantly he received his sight
and began following him, glorifying God and when
all the people saw it, they too praised God. - END Baruch HaShem

48Todays Joke
- One day G-d called the Pope, and He said, "I have
good news and bad news. First the good news. I am
tired of all the squabbling between the religions
on earth. I have decided there will be only the
one true religion." - The Pope was overjoyed and told G-d how wise His
decision was, then asked, "What's the bad news?".
- G-d said,
49Todays Joke
- "The bad news is that I am calling from
Jerusalem."
50Demonology
- This is a 3 part series.
- Today well be learning about the various
categories of evil spirits in the Tanach.
51Demonology
- In the next 2 weeks were going to talk about how
the kingdom of Satan is set up. - Which spirits fell with Satan (Cherubim, Chief
Princes etc)
52Demonology
- What the Rabbis in ancient writings said about
demons (where they were most likely to be found
here on earth etc).
53Demonology
- Well also discuss the best methods in praying
and strategizing against them. (Its not the way
youve been taught in Church).
54Demonology
- Were also going to find out that Saul did NOT
speak to the spirit of Samuel, but he spoke
directly to a demon impersonating Samuel.
55Demonology
- Were also going to be talking about evil spirits
who were so powerful they turned planets into
dust.
56Demonology
- These spirits were locked up just before the
creation of man but theyre coming back. - You might want to know who they are and what
theyre capable of.
57Demonology
- Before we begin on this topic we have to
understand one thing and we have to understand it
well. - If were Born Again, we have nothing to fear.
58Demonology
- That doesnt mean we dont need to understand the
Adversary, HaShitan (Satan), and how he operates,
both he and his hosts.
59Demonology
- We need to be aware of the spiritual environment
with a complete strategic response.
60Demonology
- In other words, we gotta be smart.
- Sitting idly by thinking were covered by the
blood thus we need to do nothing is a failing
plan.
61Demonology
- Study to show thyself approved includes the
parts of the Bible that speak of demons. - Pan-demonology is nothing more then apathy!
62Demonology
- Ive seen good Believers often times saved (lower
case s) from their ignorance in their responses
to demonic activity and some times not.
63Demonology
- Some Believers have suffered due to their lack of
discernment when it came to demonic activity in
their own families and apathy towards demonic
activity in their work or communal life.
64Demonology
- A little education can go a long way and with a
little effort and an open mind we can be
effective and perhaps, just perhaps dodge a few
bullets.
65Demonology
- Now, In order to understand demons, we also have
to understand angels.
66Demonology
- Weve done a class here on angelology and were
going to need that information to build on a
little later. - Because what are demons but fallen angels.
67Demonology
- Well start a little with Lucifer.
- If you talk to Jews today many of them will say
Jews never believed in an actual Satan - They say that hes only spoken of symbolically.
68Demonology
- Ill show you in this series that its quite
clear that the ancient Rabbis thought of Satan
and demons in a very literal sense.
69Demonology
- So much so that they even believed they (demons)
could cross into the physical realm. - They were everywhere according to some Rabbis
70Demonology
- Rabbi Abba Benyamin said, "If the eye could see
them, theyd go mad. They surround one on all
sides. They are more numerous than humans.
71Demonology
- Many Christians also believe theres many evil
spirits out there and quote Rabbi Yochanon (John
the Beloved) in Revelation when he wrote
72Demonology
- REV 12
- 3And there appeared another wonder in heaven and
behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and
ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. - 4And his tail drew the third part of the stars
of heaven, and did cast them to the earth and
the dragon stood before the woman which was ready
to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon
as it was born.
73Demonology
- The commentators say that this passage is proof
that 1/3 of all the angels fell with Lucifer.
74Demonology
- One writer puts it this way Bible scholars
agree that a third of the angels were cast out
with Satan. - Hes right the scholars do agree on this.
75Demonology
- They also point out that stars always denote
angels in Scripture unless actually speaking of
stars. - Which is how they arrive to this conclusion about
the stars falling are angels who then became
demons.
76Demonology
- Though I do believe there are myriads of fallen
angels, this passage is NOT speaking of that. - Lets look at the context of this passage and see
what we can find here
77Demonology
- REV 121 And there appeared a great wonder in
heaven a woman clothed with the sun, and the
moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of
twelve stars - 2And she being with child cried, travailing in
birth, and pained to be delivered. - 3And there appeared another wonder in heaven
and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads
and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. - 4And his tail drew the third part of the stars
of heaven, and did cast them to the earth and
the dragon stood before the woman which was ready
to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon
as it was born.
78Demonology
- 12 stars it says there in verse 1.
- Theres two ways we could look at this for
starters. - Off the top of your head, give me 2 ways to
interpret who the 12 stars could be? What does
the number 12 bring to mind?
79Demonology
- 12 tribes of Israel
- 12 Disciples perhaps
- When I think of angels, the number 12 doesnt
even come up!
80Demonology
- In fact, whenever the Bible speak of stars its
ALWAYS referring to people unless its speaking
outright about stars.
81Demonology
- How does the Church get angles out of
stars??? It doesnt make any sense. - Lets look at the next passage and tell me if
its talking about angels
82Demonology
- Joseph had some dreams in Gen 37
- 8And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed
reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion
over us? And they hated him yet the more for his
dreams, and for his words. - 9And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it
his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a
dream more and, behold, the sun and the moon and
the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
83Demonology
- Who were the stars?
- People!
- Heres another passage, Judges 5
- 20They fought from heaven the stars in their
courses fought against Sisera.
84Demonology
- Commentators say, See! Thats the angels coming
to fight for God. - In ancient writings whenever they say course of
the stars, it always is talking about real stars.
Never about spirits or angels.
85Demonology
- The word course there is the same word for orbit
and only used in connection to astronomy.
86Demonology
- What about this one?
- Revelation 120
- 20The mystery of the seven stars which thou
sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden
candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of
the seven churches and the seven candlesticks
which thou sawest are the seven churches.
87Demonology
- Well, see right there it says the angels are
stars. - Cant be any more clear then that right?
88Demonology
- We covered this in the angelology class we did.
- Angels in both Greek and Hebrew means what?
89Demonology
- It can mean a spirit messenger or a human
messenger. - I then showed you that the next chapters in
Revelation said some things like
90Demonology
- Revelation 2
- 1Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write
These things saith he that holdeth the seven
stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst
of the seven golden candlesticks - It wasnt telling us to write to spirit beings in
heaven. It was speaking about a person, the
Messenger of the Church, The Messenger of the
Synagogue (the word Church had not yet been
invented).
91Demonology
- The Messenger of the Church was the Chazzan.
- Dr. Ron Mosely puts it best
- There also was a public minister of the synagogue
called a chazen (Massada movie) who prayed,
preached behind a wooden pulpit, and took care of
the general oversight of the reading of the Law
and other congregational duties. He did not read
the Law, but stood by the one who did, to correct
and oversee, ensuring that it was done properly.
He selected seven readers each week who were
well-educated in the Hebrew Scriptures
92Demonology
- The group consisted of one priest, one Levite,
and five regular Israelites. The terms overseer
of the congregation, angel of the church, and
minister of the synagogue all referred to this
position.
93Demonology
- These angels of the Church were people, not
spirit beings. - So lets look at it again.
- 1Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write
These things saith he that holdeth the seven
stars in his right hand. - So who are the 7 stars? The 7 readers of the
Scriptures in the Synagogue. - Btw speaking of the 7 readersActs 63Wherefore,
brethren, look ye out among you seven men of
honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom,
whom we may appoint over this business. - Who was Yeshua talking about? The 7 readers!
94Demonology
- So theres some unlearning we have to do first
here. - This whole thing about the stars being cast from
heaven in Revelation being about angels falling
isnt consistent.
95Demonology
- The same commentators who say that Rev 124 is
about angels falling will turn right around and
teach that Daniel 8 is about the end days, which
it is about the end days but theyre not being
consistent yet again
96Demonology
- Daniel 8
- 9And out of one of them came forth a little horn,
which waxed exceeding great, toward the south,
and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land
(Israel). - 10And it waxed great, even to the host of
heaven and it cast down some of the host and of
the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. - Sound familier?
97Demonology
- Im sorry, did angels fall again?
- Nobody thinks that Daniel 8 is about the fall of
the angels with Lucifer etc. - The scholars are simply not connecting the dots.
98Demonology
- Daniel 8 is talking about the SAME THING as Rev
121!
99Demonology
- Well Brother, one is way back in Daniel and the
other is way up in Revelation, easy mistake.
100Demonology
- Ok lets go back to the passage we read in
Revelation and well see them do it in the same
chapter.
101Demonology
- REV 121And there appeared a great wonder in
heaven a woman clothed with the sun, and the
moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of
twelve stars - 2And she being with child cried, travailing in
birth, and pained to be delivered. (this part of
the passage is always used prophetically by the
commentators) - 3And there appeared another wonder in heaven
and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads
and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. - 4And his tail drew the third part of the stars
of heaven, and did cast them to the earth and
the dragon stood before the woman which was ready
to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon
as it was born. (This part of the passage is used
to talk about the past, the fall of Satan and the
demons) - Stars and stars do you see a connection?
102Demonology
- Call me crazy, but I think the stars in verse 1
are connected to the stars in verse 4 and are
talking about the same time with the same future
tense being used. - The whole thing is absurd, let me explain this to
you bottom line
103Demonology
- Everything in the Book of Revelation is
prophetic. - None of it is historical.
- Read it through.
- John doesnt speak of anything from his past,
ONLY of his future.
104Demonology
- So who are these stars in Revelation?
- Theyre people saints.
- There is a great falling away in the end days and
thats what its talking about.
105Demonology
- Torah Light has a whole teaching on this Great
Falling Away, its in my dads book, The Empire
Of The Anti-Christ. - I wont go into it more right now, I want to move
on with this teaching on demonology.
106Demonology
- For the purposes of this teaching, its suffice
to know that the stars in Revelation are NOT
angels.
107Demonology
- So lets look at some different
classifications/words and translations in the Old
Testament concerning evil spirits.
108Demonology
- As we do this, it is important to be aware that
translation is not a matter of finding a single
word in one language that translates another word
in another language.
109Demonology
- Translation is more often the translation of
ideas and concepts rather than merely words, and
there is rarely a one-to-one correspondence of
single words between languages.
110Demonology
- This is especially true of languages that are
separated by 3,000 years of history and culture.
111Demonology
- Strange or foreign gods (????, zeriym)
- Disgusting Ones /abominations (?????, toeeebat)
- The Devastators/Demons ( ????? leshediym)
112Demonology
- gods (?????, elohiym)
- New Ones (?????, chadashim,)
113Demonology
- So lets look at a few of these categories so we
can understand more about evil spirits.
114Demonology
- The first one is strange gods. (zariym)
- We see this verbiage used for example in Ps. 44
- 20If we have forgotten the name of our God, or
stretched out our hands to a strange god
(zeriym) - 21Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth
the secrets of the heart.
115Demonology
- When this particular term is used its denoting
gods/evil spirits that are brought by the
stranger. - In other words, gods of other peoples.
116Demonology
- Does that mean that the gods of other peoples are
all real evil spirits? - No, it doesnt. People since the beginning of
time have made up gods.
117Demonology
- Some of them are real (demons/Satan) and some of
them dont even exist. - I could make an idol out of toothpicks right now,
name it Oogelmyer and start worshipping it.
118Demonology
- That doesnt mean there is a toothpick god/demon
named Oogelmyer. - Its simply a figment of my imagination.
- I made it up.
119Demonology
- We have to maintain that not all gods are real.
- We have to keep that separation in our minds.
120Demonology
- See, I dont believe there is a demon of fire. I
believe G-d created fire. - There are religions (one in Hawaii) that worships
the Fire god.
121Demonology
- Can they become possessed while worshiping their
fable fire god? - Yep.
- Theyre just possessed by a real demon that
exists who masquerades as a fire demon.
122Demonology
- abhorrent things is the next one. toeeebat
- Those are the demons of buttermilk.
- My dad and Teresas brother have this demon. ?
123Demonology
- This term (toeeebat ?????) means Disgusting
Ones and is often used to refer generally to the
practices connected to Baal worship.
124Demonology
- that included objects like sacred poles (may
pole), decoration of trees (Xmas)
125Demonology
- We learn something interesting about this in
Scripture. Im sure youve all heard people tell
you, I have a Christmas tree but I dont worship
it or anything, so its ok if I have it. - Deut 726
- 26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination
(toeeebat) into thine house, lest thou be a
cursed thing like it but thou shalt utterly
detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it for
it is a cursed thing.
126Demonology
- Toeeebat also included demons connected to
practices of the fertility religion (Ishtar and
remember Ishtar was the wife of Baal, theres the
connection with Baal worship) like homosexuality,
which were all "abhorrent" or "offensive" to
Israelites.
127Demonology
- We see an example of that in Lev. 1822
- 22Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with
womankind it is an abomination (toeeebat
?????). - There is a demon that is associated with
homosexuality. - Im sure many of you already knew this but now
you know its in the evil spirit category of
toeeebat
128Demonology
- Having items in your house that are associated
with Ishtar, the sex goddess, like Christmas
trees (the phallus)
129Demonology
- and the Christmas wreath (womans private parts),
Easter eggs (fertility) invites toeeebat into
your very home.
130Demonology
- This is NOT something you want around your kids.
You wanna dodge this bullet, youre not always
covered in your ignorance.
131Demonology
- Well, I didnt know so everything is ok
- Maybe, but I like said, sometimes not.
- G-d does not ALWAYS cover our ignorance.
132Demonology
- If we allow dirty things into our house, were
opening our family to dirty things. - Things connected to evil spirits lead to dirty
things. - Ill give you an example
133Demonology
- In my travels I have found the following to be
true. - Ive been to some of the dirtiest places in the
world and theres 2 things Ive seen
134Demonology
- 1. Christian (Im using Christian as an overall
term here) countries were the cleanest. - 2. In non Christian countries the
Christians/Believers were cleaner then their
pagan neighbors.
135Demonology
- It has nothing to do with poor or rich, if you
have two villages and both have the same income,
generally speaking in third world countries the
Christians are cleaner.
136Demonology
- I happen to know that those who are deep into
spiritism (openly worshiping evil spirits)
eventually become dirty people in the physical.
137Demonology
- Those who seek after evil spirits begin to
emulate them. - No different then when Believers in Yeshua become
more clean as they become more like Him.
138Demonology
- Now, if you have a messy bedroom Im not saying
youre not close to Yeshua, Im simply pointing
something out concerning people groups and
cultures in relation to spiritism
139Demonology
- The more devout people are to false gods, the
dirtier they become. - The Muslims in the West Bank were dirtier then
the Christian (Greek Orthodox) Palestinians.
140Demonology
- The Buddhists in Asia were dirtier then the
Christian minority there. - The Hindus were dirtier then the Believers in
India.
141Demonology
- The more devout Hindus would drink urine straight
from the cow and drink water with the rats. - Im not talking about individuals although I have
seen this play out at times with individuals as
well.
142Demonology
- Again, Im not talking about kids here.
- But I have known Satanists here in the US and
they lived very dirty lives.
143Demonology
- John Wesley wrote Cleanliness is indeed next to
Godliness. - He didnt invent the saying and it isnt a quote
from Scripture. - But
144Demonology
- it was originally taken from Rabbinical writings.
- it is an old Hebrew proverb used in the late 2nd
century by Rabbi Phinehas ben-Yair. - I have found a lot of truth to it. Ok next
category.
145Demonology
- demons (????? , leshediym).
- This word means The Devastators.
- This would include those who sacrifice their
children to idols.
146Demonology
- Psalms 10637 37And they sacrifice their sons
And their daughters to demons (leshediym). - Yes, some of these words (leshediym, toeeebat,
zariym etc) are used interchangeably, one reason
for that is because theres often more then one
evil spirit connected to an activity. - Another is that sometimes the writer wasnt sure
or didnt know what kind of evil spirit it was.
147Demonology
- This word leshediym in the Assyrian language
refers to the creatures that would guard the
sphinx at Ashur (900 BC). - The spirit of child sacrifice (abortion) has been
around a very long time.
148Demonology
- The sphinx was the primary deity of the
Assyrians. - In the West they are called griffons.
149Demonology
- The next classification is gods (?????, elohiym)
- Yes, the word elohiym, isnt just used for
Yehovah.
150Demonology
- From Youngs Literal Translation
- Deut 32
- 16They make Him zealous with strangers, With
abominations they make Him angry. - 17 They sacrifice to demons -- no god! Gods
(elohim in Hebrew) they have not known -- New
ones -- from the vicinity they came Not feared
them have your fathers!
151Demonology
- Theres other examples, not just one in where
elohim is used to refer to evil spirits. - Psalm 82
- 1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty
he judgeth among the gods (elohim). - This term is not referring to angels as some
teach but rather, evil spirits.
152Demonology
- So what does it mean in Deut 32, elohim they
have not known? - Doesnt that just mean foreign gods?
- No.
153Demonology
- There were foreign gods the Israelites knew and
foreign gods they did not know. - Elohim can mean any gods, but in this case they
were gods they hadnt been introduced to before.
154Demonology
- These gods/evil spirits were the Chadashim, the
New Ones. - These are different then Strange gods
- We know this word Chadash.
- We say in Hebrew Brit Chadasha New Testament
155Demonology
- (BTW Chadash can also mean renewed. The New
Testament is not a New Covenant, it is a Renewed
Covenant.
156Demonology
- Jeremiah 3131 Behold, the days come, saith the
LORD, that I will make a new (chadash/renewed)
covenant with the house of Israel, and with the
house of Judah. - Yeshua did exactly that, He renewed the Covenant
in the upper room. - The Church says Jesus made a new covenant with
the Gentile nations. I dont recall any Gentiles
in the upper room.
157Demonology
- He was renewing the covenant with Israel.
- Why did it have to be renewed?
- Because Israel had broken it.
158Demonology
- So now we know that a third of the angels did not
fall with Satan. - We also know the categories of evil spirits.
- Know your enemy
- Shabbat Shalom.
