More On Gods

This blog looks at more of the divine names study, especially polytheism. Then shop work, upcoming watch dates and a long headline review.

Problem of Divine Names

In most English language Bibles we see divine name references hidden behind three common names, lord, Lord and LORD. These cover up a complex set of manuscript related problems as presented by the text as passed to us by history. This is a fundamental problem within the Bible that has no clear answer.

We have finally figured out how to deal with this fundamental manuscript problem by using the editors as originally found from within the Acts 15 context. We now see this divine names problem as the effect of multiple different editors. Those editors were spread out across time, using different divine names at different times.

As they each had different primary divine names, we can identify which of the non-inspired editors were working in various areas of the text. I have been chronicling this ongoing and unfolding study here in recent blogs.

Many Names?

In a Christian context, the idea that all scripture is god-breathed means that these various references to different divine names must mean that there are different names for the one true god. I related in a previous blog about how the local Christian radio station explained Hallelujah means praise Yah, one of god's names. There is nearly a different name for each book of the Bible, and there have been songs written about this obvious pattern.

When we looked at the story of the birth narrative for John the Baptist we found that prayer to the false god still brought an answer from the true god. Zechariah actually had an angelic visitation in answer to his prayer. Visitations are quite unusual. So prayer itself does not need to be accurately directed if the heart of the request is still in keeping with divine will.

Outside of Christianity, say in secular academics, the problems posed by the text are typically explained as an evolutionary effect. In this view, early on, there are a set of different gods. This is technically called polytheism. What comes later, monotheism, is then explained as an evolved conception that came across time.

Though this is the stock modern academic answer, it conceives of god as a human invention. The academics who take this view have never bothered to test the problem experimentally. The way to test this is to pray to god and ask him to demonstrate he exists. Zechariah did not have the correct name, but he still got an answer. So this experiment need not be very precise. When asked in faith, Joshua usually does answer. In the end, this academic answer is false, god is not a social construction.

Hidden Name

In last week's blog I gave an example where the divine name appears to have been used as a family secret. Joseph and his brothers know Joshua as the true divine name, while the Egyptians only know the generic term, god. Joseph used the divine name in order to prove his identity with his brothers. The accurate divine name was some sort of shared family secret. This makes profound sense if the scriptures, up to their day, had always been a family secret. From Enoch, to Noah and down to Abraham, the scriptures themselves were likely a larger form of a family secret.

This family secret pattern sets up yet another answer to the divine name problem. That there was only ever 1 true god, and then a bunch of other names of god which are false.

Of course this correct answer breaks much of the extant text. That manuscript problem is solved by knowing the problem of editors who both tampered the text and who had other gods.

The story of Joseph, who knows the correct divine name, may also be a common part of the pattern of living in Egypt. Amongst many other things, Egyptians do not know god's name. This pattern does recur across history. We are in one of those periods now. Learning the correct divine name is a marker for coming out of Egypt

Polytheism to Monotheism

So the point of transition back from the various names used by various editors is going to be done at the hand of a single editor. So the academic view, of a transition from polytheism to monotheism, is a problem created by editors and then fixed by yet another editor. Which editor? It looks like Ezra.

Ezra was the 5th and last editor of the Old Testament. His commissioning letter is given in Ezra 7:11-26. If you review that letter you will see that king Arthasastha, the king of kings, does not himself seem to share the same god as Ezra. "your God" is a common expression within Arthasastha's commissioning. Arthasastha does not share the same god as Ezra.

It seems that Arthasastha is letting Ezra get the temple system of Jerusalem restarted, but under the empire's umbrella where Jerusalem is the seat of one of many gods.

Ezra seems to fight back on this point. Ezra wants to be priest of the one true god. But, he has a text which is polytheistic, just like Arthasastha's empire.

Ezra appears to deliberately solve this problem by making all of these different gods into different names for the one true god. So Ezra created the 1 god with many names pattern still used by Christian radio.

Let me give you an interesting example of how this was done.

Fear The Master

The link here is to Deuteronomy 10:12-22 in the BRB. This passage is normally thought to be from the time of Moses, but more reasonably is an Ezra era addition.

Ryan is working through every reference to a divine name, or at least words that are functioning as references to god in some way. They are getting Keyword God markup and they are being marked as to the Hebrew forms and they are getting marked as to the likely inspired term. That last term gets used in the TT and related apps.

There are well over 10,000 such references, so this an ongoing and tedious task. Ryan pointed out this particular example to me because it contains most of the various divine names, but all piled up together.

Ryan pointed this out to me for use in this blog because this is in an area where all of Ezra's key divine names are being used together in the same sentences. In working through new markup in the BRB he is looking at Ezra as likely bulking up Moses in order to ride on Moses' historical authority. This then hides Ezra's commissioning. Ezra creating the religion that survives, even to our day, in Jerusalem.

There are several good examples within this passage, but let me quote starting at verse 17, "The Master [Yahweh], your God [Elohim], is the God of Gods, and the Master of Masters [Adonai Adonai], the great God [Elohim], mighty and terrible..."

If you review the passage you can see there is a difference in tone between what Ezra is writing and what we see in the New Testament. Those differences between the testaments can also now be attributed to Ezra.

Trapped By The Text

By scanning down the passage you can see an example of what appears to be Ezra's hypocrisy. Let me quote 3 more verses, from Deuteronomy 11:26-28 "I set before you this day blessings and curses, blessings if you obey the commandments of the Master [Yahweh] your God [Elohim], that I command you this day, and curses if you will not obey the commandments of the Master [Yahweh] your God [Elohim], and if you turn aside from the way that I command you this day, by going after other Gods, that you have not known."

Note how this passage is also listing off most of the divine names, but what it is also doing is warning not to turn to a god with a different name.

Since the true god is not something the readers of this passage know by name, readers here are thus "trapped by the text." They can never actually find the true god because the text does not let them find him.

This is true even though there are parts of the Bible which are inspired.

Ouch. Everyone became trapped by the text. When god himself showed up in the New Testament era, nobody was ready for what would happen.

Shop Work

The 3d printers remained busy this week with reprint of the ladder exhibit and a reprint of the lid for the blue chest. The lid was finished, the set of ladders are now just beyond half way done. Watch for pics on telegram.

I am trying to wind down shop work ahead of the Unleavened Bread Week that is coming up in February. So I am reviewing existing projects and doing whatever rework they may need. I am doing this instead of running ahead on designing new exhibits.

I have setup the Script exhibit in the shop and am reprinting some of the parts. Like Joseph's robe, I am adjusting the panels so they do not need spare parts to be carried around with the exhibit. There were a couple blank squares out in the Greek related rows of that exhibit which have been filled it. I have also begun a reprint of the trim.

I woke one morning with a flash on how to fix the otherwise broken computer in the shop. It was a strange cabling problem related to changing screens. After changing screens, the system only runs on 1 display jack from the 5 available on the display adapter. The new first monitor must be plugged into that jack. Worse, that first jack needs a special cable which was off lost in a box. In any case, that machine is back booting up and I can log in.

There is still a Beta version of Pop OS 24.04 on that machine which I installed many weeks ago. The team at System 76 has rewritten, from scratch, a brand new desktop for Linux. That desktop is called "Cosmic." This is a very exciting new project. I wanted to see it running on a non-critical machine before we try upgrading the rest of the machines around here.

Turns out that new Cosmic desktop Beta software also has serious trouble. The "cosmic compositor" slams all CPU cores at 100 percent load. (So 40 cores at 100 percent load.) I am told from an AI assisted search that this is a rare, but known and unfixed bug. Which tells me the developers at System 76 cannot reproduce it on their in-house hardware. So, there is no released fix for this bug. I fear it will become a never fixed bug.

I installed that Beta OS as a test to protect our other machines from what is an amazing, but brand new, desktop system for Linux. It has indeed worked to protect our other machines. But we may need to install some completely different OS if this does not get fixed by the middle of 2026.

2026-2027 Prophetic Dates

The link here is to a new article on Paleo.In. It summarizes the king's reigns prophetic dates which also have plague matches. This content was originally published in the October 24, 2025, blog. I have kept the date list itself and reformatted the content. The descriptive notes for each date have not changed. I intend this new article to be the place where the entire series gets documented as we go. I will also track them here in the blog.

We will begin watching those kings related dates with Egyptian plague echos on 2026-01-24. This will be the replay of the Plague of Blood along with Solomon's Temple sacrifice. Blood on the river, so blood on the water, may be Venezuela or a tanker related event or perhaps something in Iran.

I know we have readers who are interested in that series. Some of you may want to look it over now, before we begin to hit those dates hard. Let me know if anything is unclear or which may still need updating.

Watch Dates

2026-01-14, so the Wednesday after this blog goes out, is the replay of the first year of Solomon's reign. There was a fight over who would rule and Bathsheba appears to have pulled some strings to get Solomon into office. I would not expect major headlines, but Solomon was the first editor.

The start of the temple related replay begins on 2026-01-18, which I will return to next week.

Headline Review

The following caught my eye this past week.

Iran War Bet

The link here is to a post on X. Someone seems to make accurate bets on Israel's war plans. In this case a bet was placed on one of the market driven betting websites that strongly suggests anther war with Iran before the end of January. This may be the "blood on the river" so temple sacrifice expected around January 24, 2025.

There are purported protests in Iran. These are said to be stirred up by the son of the late Shah of Iran. Internet in Iran has been turned off, so any current video from Iran is fake. We won't know for sure what is going on until this next war is over.

2025 Train Wreck, Epstein, Kirk

This link is to a page on the Peak Prosperity website. This page holds the full length video podcast of an interview between Peak Prosperity's Chris Martenson and Dave Collum. The entire video runs 3h 18m, the first hour of which is the most important. This video was not released to Youtube because the content would normally get this video banned. Instead, Martenson put the first few minutes on Youtube and then cut it off with a link to this page for anyone who wanted to keep watching. The video on the page above starts again from the beginning.

I was initially interested because this format might someday work for our material, which would also normally be banned from Youtube. So I wanted to see what these men were saying that was not Youtube friendly. I also just wanted to try out this odd format where only an introduction lives on Youtube.

Let me note that Collum is a tenured Cornell University chemistry professor. He wound down his research work across 2024 and 2025, he is getting ready to retire. Look carefully at Collum's room and you can see he was at the university when this was recorded. Note the cinder block walls and blackboard. Collum was interviewed earlier in 2025 by Tucker. Martenson and Collum appear to be friends. The video was released December 31, 2025.

The content, though, is most important because of how it covers the Epstein files and the Kirk assassination. Collum is suggesting to Martenson a very much darker story behind the Epstein files than what we know from essentially all other sanitized sources. Collum also suggests these 2 very different events may be strangely connected. The conversation touches on topics that are quite serious. This subject matter is why it needed to be kept on Martenson's own website.

I very much recommend the first hour or so if you have the time, the rest is still very interesting. This is not a kid friendly video, so beware.

Kirk's Kids

The link here is to a post on X where Stew Peters gives some photographic evidence in support of a comment made by Collum in the previous video. Collum suggests that the Kirk children are props. This post would tend to agree.

Trump Kidnaps Maduro

The link here is to a Judge Nap video on Youtube with guest Col. Douglas Macgregor. This was an unscheduled special video recorded on Saturday, January 3, 2026. They were discussing events from the night before in Venezuela where the USA effectively kidnapped Maduro, the elected head of state of a foreign government.

Events in Venezuela broke all norms of international law. The US government is now publicly nothing more than a criminal gang.

Chas Freeman, Loss of US Empire

Chas Freemen is a former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia. He is normally polite. Not this time, ripping into the lawless Trump admin after Venezuela. This is with Pascal Lottaz on the Neutrality Studies channel on Youtube.

Pascal is still a young man, isolated inside European media. If you listen to this conversation you can see the desire on Pascal's part to have a king to fight these battles. This is the desire that CAUSES these problems. It does not fix them, since that stronger king will then go corrupt like Trump.

Chas offers the theoretical alternative, but without using Biblical vocabulary. As Chas will explain, only a posse will work for this sort of trouble, not a king, and not a sheriff. Chas may not be citing scripture, but he offers the only theoretical way these problems can ever be solved in the real world. Otherwise we get planetary tyranny.

Jeffrey Sachs at UN

American lawlessness is basically blowing up the civilized word. The link here is to commentary by Jeffrey Sachs as he spoke to the UN about what happened in Venezuela.

Other Countries Too

This link is to an Alex Christoforou video on Youtube. In it, he reviews Venezuela related comments given by various US officials. Looks like the US plan is to do to the same in many other countries.

Prophetic?

This headline in Venezuela feels like a prophetic headline where we are missing the dated story. It could be from something within the life of David. There is plenty of David related text that might be triggering this headline. It may also be that this becomes fodder for some future headline.

The Zionist plan requires every country on the earth to be lead by a Zionist puppet working for Jerusalem. Maduro was not such a puppet. If he was, they would have left him alone. This might be simple house cleaning in preparation for a temple in Jerusalem.

This headline triggered more headlines, including the US Coast Guard committing piracy against a Russian flagged tanker a few days later. The Russians are likely to respond in kind, but at a time and place of their own choosing. They don't let the USA set the schedule.

If this does escalate, there are 2 places on the charts ahead that might matter. Near term, blood on the water is around January 24, 2026. By this I think spilling oil from tankers on the seas. Longer term we climb all the way to Noah's flood and nuclear war. A sea war may prefigure the flood related stories of 2029. Blockading North America would be an interesting way to respond in kind to sanctions on Russia.

Greenland?

The link here is to a post on X by RT dealing with J.D. Vance comments about the US sudden need to conquer Greenland.

The real reason may be Russia's new Oreshnik missiles which need to be matched by the USA. As the USA has no similar hardware, the USA needs to plant more conventional missiles in Greenland to reduce flight times into Russia. Slower missiles, though, can be shot down by Russian defense systems, so this is not a winning strategy.

As Greenland is already part of NATO, the USA can already plant missiles there by NATO treaty. So this conversation about Greenland reeks of secondary or hidden agendas. Perhaps the USA wants natural assets in Greenland?

But this story is also strange because it changes the tribal boundaries of the lost tribes. Should Greenland become US territory, Greenland moves from Dan to Manasseh.

Dan has always had trouble keeping territory, which is why it is normally such a small tribe. So Dan probably looses Greenland to Manasseh if push comes to shove. But why now? Why this late in history? Unclear.

The Missile Strike on Putin's Residence

The link here is to an article on unz.com by Paul Craig Roberts. In this article Roberts interprets John Helmer's comments on what happened with the recent missile strike near one of Putin's official residences.

The strike itself appears to have targeted a nuclear missile control bunker near that house. That we know from Helmer a week ago.

What Roberts can add, because he served in Reagan's White House, is that by normal Russian nuclear war doctrine, they should have launched a full scale nuclear strike against all NATO countries, including the USA, soon after that first missile strike.

That Russia broke protocol, and delayed World War III, is why it took Russia 48 hours to even respond intelligently.

We are now inside some sort of nuclear war window, where Russia is restraining itself against its better interests. The west is now playing psychological games with Putin in order to try and win an inevitable nuclear war.

Russian Retaliation

Russia did eventually retaliate for that attack on Putin's residence. The link here is to a Gospa News article with details. They took out a massive natural gas storage facility near Lviv and also seriously blacked out Kiev. Another report on Hal Turner suggested these same attacks caused the mayor of Kiev to call for an evacuation of Kiev for the rest of the winter.

Russia's New Warhammer Church

The link here is to a Youtube video on the Goodness With Fists Youtube channel. The video is about 12 minutes long and gives an overview of a new Orthodox cathedral in Russia that can handle 40,000 people. This is the main cathedral of the Russian armed forces. It was finished in 2020. It is huge. It is located out somewhere in a forest. From the drone shots you can try and spot the parking lots, tiny and in the distance.

First point to note is how the Russian armed forces actually have a very big, very nice, and very Christian cathedral all of their own.

This cathedral was built out of melted down World War II Nazi military hardware. So this particular building ties directly back to the prophetic replay of the crucifixion of Joshua in world history.

These points are just the start of understanding this most interesting of Orthodox Christian cathedrals.

If you are unfamiliar with this particular church, I recommend watching this video. It provides more evidence that the war with Russia is ultimately the heathens, so Zionists, of western Europe fighting Christian Russia.

Places like this balance out events like what just happened in Venezuela.

Deep Fakes on Youtube

The link here is to a video on the Unheard channel on Youtube. The video interviews Yanis Varoufakis who is but 1 example of many where Youtube is allowing videos which impersonate well known speakers. This is how that platform is responding to content and creators they do not like. Instead of outright bans, Youtube is instead allowing AI generated fakes. This is another reason why we may never be able to use such a platform.

It looks to me like a common use of AI is to commit fraud.

AI Fakes

The link here is to an article on Zero Hedge by Pepe Escobar dealing with AI fake videos on Youtube. Pepe sees the same problem as Yanis Varoufakis. Seems most of the sane alternative media analysts are being turned into fodder for AI Slop videos on Youtube. There does not appear to be anything anyone can do about it. Youtube is becoming unfit for purpose.

The Protocols of Zion suggest that part of their media war is to use "flooding" of publishing platforms in order to hide true media positions that are otherwise unfavorable to the powers that be. AI Slop looks to be the easiest way for Zionist platforms like Youtube to get rid of voices they do not like.

This works by removing reach instead of outright banning of honest media from their platform. Much of the audience apparently does not know the difference. It also financially drains revenue from the authentic channels while retaining profits to Youtube.

Natron Theory

Cast

This link is by request. The top link is to a website with a slide show that explains how ancient Egyptians and Romans made something equivalent to our modern concrete. This was not a water based process, so the resulting stone is permanent.

The second link above is to a post on X by Marcell Fóti. He is the author of the website at the first link, if you want to follow him on X. In this second post he is giving commentary on an Egyptian artifact that was likely cast stone, not carved.

Though water is used in the final pour into the mold, that water must have a way out during curing, leaving behind distinctive nubs. Much of ancient Egyptian, Roman and Inca ruins were built this way.

One easy marker that this process was used is simply look for "nubs." These are found along the lower edge of the molds used in the casting process. As the author explains, cast blocks can be moved around if they are not cast in place. So nubs can end up on the sides or even the top in final assembly.

The slide show on the website has photos of many ancient examples found around the world including in South America and Egypt. There is even an example of a Roman arched bridge with the distinctive nubs.

The author jokingly speculates that this process could go back to the time of Adam and Eve. I would speculate that artificial moons like Eden are built with a similar chemical process, though probably with more high-tech mixing and casting machinery to allow final stones of arbitrarily large size. The Egyptian form of the process was decidedly low tech and generates stones of limited size.

The slide show shows the chemical formulas for the stone composition. It also shows simple ancient methods for producing this type of stone. There is even a way to control final color.

The website also has a link to a printed book for anyone who might want to learn how to make such stone themselves. For anyone near an ancient lava flow, basalt is said to be one of the possible source materials for making artificial stone, there are other natural, but strange, ingredients which may be harder to find in quantity.

Marcell Fóti has recently been casting fairly large stones using plastic storage containers for molds. He is showing off the process at scale. Check out his X account for more.

More Later,
