When referring to the devil, many call him Satan. Or in Hebrew, HaSatan. However, that’s not his name. That’s his role. It means adversary. When you enter a court room in Yisrael the prosecuting attorney is referred to as HaSatan. It’s a role. It means adversary.
Many people think the devil’s name is Lucifer. However, that’s not true.
In the King James Version of the Bible, the translators took the word from the Latin Vulgate which translated הֵילֵל by the Latin word Lucifer. I’d rather take it from the Hebrew which I know is more accurate.
The rendering of the Hebrew word הֵילֵל transliterated is hêylêl; pronunced: hay-lale In Isaiah (Isaiah 14:12)
Yeshayah (Isaiah) 14:12 TS2009 [12] “How you have fallen from the heavens, O Hĕlĕl, son of the morning! You have been cut down to the ground, you who laid low the nations!
This verse came up in a thread before I took a few days away and I thought about it in a different way. Isaiah 45:7, “I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.” To clarify the translation the word prosperity is the original is peace and the word calamity is evil. Is it possible to have peace without knowing what evil is? this isn’t a philosophical question it is a a question of logic. mankind does not have the ability to know what darkness is if there were not the opposite (the light) with which to compare it. Likewise we would not know understand peace if there was no opposition to it. I couldn’t think of anything that mankind has ever crafted that has these dynamics illustrated to such extremes.
Thought for Today: Tuesday November 18
To have peace WITH YHVH and to have the Peace OF YHVH in our hearts are not enough. This vertical relationship must have a horizontal influence, or our faith is in vain. Yeshua said that we were to love YHVH with all our hearts, and our neighbours as ourselves. This dual love for YHVH and others is like the positive and negative poles of a battery – unless both connections are made, we have no power… If we have peace with YHVH and the peace of YHVH, we will become peacemakers… Is the peace of the Moshiach in Your life overflowing to others?
FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – TOL’DOTH:
And Yitzchaq loved Ěsaw because he ate of his wild game, but Rivqah loved Ya’aqov.
And Ya’aqov cooked a stew, and Ěsaw came in from the field, and he was weary.
And Ěsaw said to Ya’aqov, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” That is why his name was called Edom.
But Ya’aqov said, “Sell me your birthright today.”
And Ěsaw said, “Look, I am going to die, so why should I have birthright?”
Then Ya’aqov said, “Swear to me today.” And he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Ya’aqov.
Ya’aqov then gave Ěsaw bread and stew of lentils. And he ate and drank and rose up and left. Thus, Ěsaw despised his birthright.
What have you sold yours for?
