Month: April 2017

I am herein considering a “Study Bible Q&A” dating to July 7, 1965 AD by Dr. Wesley A. Swift. I previously wrote about Swift in Wesley A. Swift – Jews as serpent seed of Satan, the KKK and pre-Adamic race.

I will focus upon the Q&A relevant to the serpent seedline of Satan theory which claims that Genesis 3 is symbolic of Eve (and Adam) having sex with Satan who is somehow doubly symbolized as both the serpent and the forbidden tree.

The relevant portion begins with “QUESTION:…The Book of the ‘Upright’ and the Book of ‘The Wars of the Lord’….where are they found in the Lost books, or where? ANSWER:…Do you mean are they in the Apocrypha? QUESTION:…I just don’t know.” Do not ask me but this is exactly how it was written (ellipses in original).
In any regard, the portion of interest herein begins with “ANSWER:…Well, one of the books of ‘The Wars of the Lord’ is also a part of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is the ‘Battle of the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness’ which climaxes in the victory of the Children of Christ over the Anti-Christ at Armageddon.” It is noted that there is good and bad which I reference as it appears to become relevant when he gets to answering the “QUESTION:…The Tree of Good and Evil….”

In keeping with seedline misinterpretations, he begins the answer by stating, “It is a Family Tree” which “has intelligence because to have both good and evil you have to have intelligence. Therefore you have to have a soul” whatever that means.

As with most serpent seedline of Satan theorists Dr. Wesley A. Swift has his own take on certain details. His is that the fruit of the forbidden tree “was a mutation of seed which could not bare Light, it would be cohabitating with darkness.”

He claims that “the Trees in the Garden were many, for fruit and food, but there were already racial trees on earth of all kinds.” In relation to this, he cites Ezekiel 31 which contains a parabolic/symbolic story about the rise and fall of Satan in relation to the rise and fall of human kings.

However, Swift takes it to mean that “the Assyrian tree was all over the earth, and that the Egyptian tree was also an Empire. But the Assyrian branches were all over the earth when God put Adam and Eve on earth. So when Adam was placed here he was the first white man, an Aryan man, but he wasn’t the first man if you are talking about everything that runs around walking upright.”

In keeping with such utterly un-, non- and anti-biblical views he concludes that “these countries were all under the fall of Lucifer and had some areas of darkness” and invents the claim that “none of these races was Adam permitted to marry with…Adam had been told he was not to have anything to do with these people…Adam and Eve were told, was not to mix the Holy Seed.”

He also asserts, “the Adamic race was told not to have anything to do with Lucifer either, or any of his race, or with any of the fallen races of earth like the Tungus people” who were “mongrelized and mutated.”

Thus, he claims that “this Tree of Good and Evil is not a food tree” and then comes the reason why I included Dr. Wesley A. Swift’s statements about the apocrypha: because he is pulling info from somewhere and it is certainly not the Bible.

He writes, “Eve was seduced by Lucifer, and Cain was the son of Lucifer, then after being seduced then Eve went to Adam and said:…I have received this son from the lord, and the word is just translated Lord, it was actually Baalie (he being Lord of the earth).” He is simply inventing that Eve knew not of what she spake. She is recorded as stating that she received Cain, via Adam, from the Lord, LORD, YHVH, the one and only true living God of the Bible. Yet, Swift corrupts God’s holy word and applies praises directed at God towards Satan. He claims that the “Lord” to whom Eve referred “was actually Baalie” aka Ba’al. This is a generic term for master and was applied to various false gods such as the Ba’al of Pero, Ba’al Zebub aka Beelzebub, etc.

From here it goes from very bad to even worse as he claims that eve “introduced Adam to Lillith the Serpent Woman, or the beautiful consort of Lucifer, called the mother of the Ganges or Kali in Hinduism today. This first connection with the darkness was made by Eve whom Lucifer seduced.”

He then takes it upon himself to radically re-write the Bible in (merely) asserting that the serpent told Eve, “did God tell you not to mingle or associate with us? Well, He just doesn’t want you to become as gods, and be greater than He is. You will be just like we are, just like God, if you will join with us. We will show you all kinds of pleasures, all kinds of things you have never seen before, and Eve fell for this.”

He continues inserting his wild imaginings into the Bible thusly, “She then came running to Adam and she said:…I have mixed with these people, and I have had new experiences and see I am not dead. I want you to come and meet them. So she introduced Adam to Lillith. Well, Adam knew Lillith and sowed some of the Adamic seed into India thru this consort of Lucifer.”
Can you discern his racist views? You can see why Swift, et al., weave such tales since, for example as Swift puts it, “God told them that He would redeem them and put enmity between the seed of Adam and the seed of the Serpent forever.” Therefore, they think that they can justify their racist views.

Dr. Wesley A. Swift further claims that Adam “made a covering for himself of fig leaves, but this is symbolic. Lucifers Kingdom has the symbol of the Fig Leaf…the Temple finery of the golden fig leaf.” Well, wherever he got that and whatever that means, Dr. Wesley A. Swift does employ it towards his racist ends, “This is the reason why Jesus cursed the Fig tree because these Jews had control of the Temples religion, and they were serpent seed…Jesus said to these Jews who had clothes on and were walking around that they were the people…’ye are the generations of the viper’ thus they had descended from the Serpent Seed.”

Well, I dealt with this claim—which may sound good on the surface but is unfounded—in Did Jesus teach the serpent seed of Satan theory in Matthew 23.

In short, Jesus make the biblical issue clear: this is about actions and not genetics (mutations, etc.). There are two lines in the Bible but they are not genetic rather, they are the line of the Godly who commit righteous actions versus the Satanic who commit sinful actions. The good news is that since this is about actions, repentance can change one from the line of the sinful to the line of the Godly.

Jesus calls the Pharisees hypocrites (actions) since they “appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.”
He references how they Pharisees think, “If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.” Yet, Jesus states, “ye are the children of them which killed the prophets” (actions) and in doing so “Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.”
Thus, it is affirmed that they are genetic Hebrews and yet, “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?” due to their actions.

Falsity:
With regards to how the New Testament has been wrongly, illogically, and un-theologically appealed to in order to unjustly justify anti-Semitism; let us consider the fact that scripture tells of false witnesses, false accusers, false prophets, false brothers, false apostles, false teachers, and most importantly within the context of this article, false Christs:

“false witness” (Matthew 15:19).

“false accusers” (2nd Timothy 3:3).

“false brothers” (2nd Corinthians 11:26).

“Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves” (Matthew 7:15).

“And many false prophets will rise and deceive many” (Matthew 24:11).

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but try the spirits to see if they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1st John 4:1).

“And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet doing signs before it, (by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast), and those who had worshiped his image. The two were thrown alive into the Lake of Fire burning with brimstone” (Revelation 19:20).

“But because of those false brothers stealing in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus; they desiring to enslave us” (Galatians 2:4).

“For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders; so much so that, if it were possible, they would deceive even the elect” (Matthew 24:24 & Mar 13:22).

“For such ones are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ” (2nd Corinthians 11:13).

“But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who secretly will bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction” (2nd Peter 2:1).

There are so called “Jews” that are not and so called “Christians” that are not.

Atheist organizations sink into un-holiday depression and waste tremendous amounts of money that could be used to help those in needy during tough economic times in order to besmirch those busy celebrating the holidays.

The American Atheists ads show a scene of Muslims circling the Kabba and states, “You KNOW it’s a Myth: This Season, Celebrate REASON!”

Actually, that is not so.

The ad shows a scene of Jews at the Western Wall lighting the hanukiah (the “Hanukah menorah”) and states, “You KNOW it’s a Myth: This Season, Celebrate REASON!”

Actually, that is not so.

No, indeed, rather, since American Atheists are an anti-Christian support group; their ad shows a scene of three wise men traveling on camel towards the manger in which are Jesus, Mary and Joseph and states, “You KNOW it’s a Myth: This Season, Celebrate REASON!”

Well, one thing must be stated: they are correct. Nowhere does the Bible state that there were three wise men and so we KNOW it’s a myth.

Note how they seek to replace awe and worship of YHVH, of Jesus, with awe and worship of human reason. They have made for themselves an idol. Also, whence comes reason in a God-free universe and how do we know that we can trust its bio-chemical/brain matter origins? In short; since they reason to reason via reason they are engaged in circular reasoning, which is unreasonable.

On their website, the American Atheists state that the billboard is meant to “attack the myth that Christianity owns the solstice season” and to “raise the awareness of the organization and the movement.” Firstly, agreed again: Christianity does not own the solstice season. Note also that we are now moving from worshiping human reason to, again, worshiping the creature, the creation, rather than the Creator, “the solstice season” (this is Neo-Pagan-Atheism see here).

Also, they seek converts; “raise the awareness of the organization and the movement.” Agreed again, they should raise their own awareness as they are not even aware, apparently, of just how saturated with hatred they are; which is exactly how they come across to others (which is on purpose, one may presume, see below).

Note the statement by American Atheists president Dave Silverman:

What we’re trying to do is break that cycle, get atheists out of the closet so they can say,

‘Hey, I’m the person that you already know. I’m the nice person, the wonderful person who gives to charity, who pays his taxes, who’s part of our family, who’s close to your circle of friends, who is an atheist, I’m going to break this chain. I am going to be the first person that is an out atheist.

Perhaps the quote states the truth yet, let us reconsider it:

“I’m the nice person”—then why based your life, your identity, your organization on besmirching theists?

“gives to charity”—then why waste hundreds of thousands of dollars every holiday season expressing hatred? Moreover, studies constantly show that atheists and agnostics are amongst the least charitable amongst us: see Are Atheists Healthy, Happy, Moral, etc.? and Charity – Secular Liberals vs. Religious Conservatives

“I am going to be the first person that is an out atheist”—I think that the boat on being “the first” sailed long ago. Yet, even here we see their in your face pride, “I will be the first, the very first, yes ME!” and “I will be out, not just out of the atheist closet but also kicking down your door!”

With a little tweaking, they could have quoted the Bible—which provides the eternal mind of YHVH as the ultimate premise—as it states, “‘Come now, let us reason together,’ says the LORD” (Isaiah 1:18).

You see, one problem for the atheists of sects such as American Atheists is that they cannot make a positive statement. That is to say that since they define “atheism” as a negative premise—God does not exist—they cannot make a positive affirmation. For example, they could produce ads that read, “We are atheists, we have meetings and would like you to come to them” or some such thing.

Yet, they do not and it may be because they are playing off of humanity’s sin, humanity’s rebellion against God—against YHVH in particular—and they are therefore playing off of hatred. This is why they must show manger, then besmirch it and they invite you to convert to atheism.

May they repent and celebrate the Messiah this season. How about ads that state, “Atheists, You KNOW you’re angry and wasteful: This Season, Celebrate JESUS!”

For various examples of past atheist ads—and how they are logically fallacious—see Atheist Bus Ads and Billboards

“…Jesus (who was not a Jew but rather of the white Adamic race)… Satan probably appeared to Eve as a handsome white god…

the white race is a race of gods

…”
—Willie Martin

Under consideration is Willie Martin’s Scriptures The One Seedliners Deny. As I noted in Bertrand L. Comparet’s The Cain-Satanic Seed Line in some cases Martin and Comparet plagiarized each other. But then again, serpent seedline of Satan theorists of the Christian Identity variety (who identify themselves thereby as being anti-Semitic racists) quote, paraphrase and plagiarize each other (with attestation or not) since the Bible offers them no support.

The reason I titled this “Willie Martin (and Wesley A. Swift)…” is that at one point Martin writes, “let’s review the teaching of Pastor Wesley A. Swift: What Really Happened in the Garden of Eden?” and due to the formatting of the webpage it is difficult to discern where Martin end, Swift begins, whether Martin is simply quoting Swift, paraphrasing him, intermingling his own and Swift’s claims, etc. In any regard, interested readers can consult my articles on Swift here.

Note that Willie Martin dichotomizes two seedliners such as himself versus one seedliners. However, I reject the two seedline view that has one seedline being from Cain as the son of Eve and Satan and the other being from Seth as the son of Eve and Adam. The Bible does, indeed, teach two seedlines and it is these, biblical ones, to which I hold. These are based on actions and not genetics. Thus, one line are they who commit sinful Satanic actions and the other are they who commit righteous Godly actions. The good news is that since this is not about genetics but about actions those who find themselves in the Satanic line can always repent.

Willie Martin rightly notes that “The first recorded case of incest was when Ham laid with one of the wives of Noah.” Although technically, if that wife was not Ham’s mother then it is not incest. Nevertheless, biblically “the nakedness of his father” as in the Genesis 9 context, refers to just that: a father’s wife (see Deuteronomy 22 and Leviticus 18).

His point however is not biblical accuracy but to justify his assertions such as he made when referring to God, “His people, meaning the White Israel people.” Thus, he concludes, “Ham’s son Canaan was evil from the beginning, and when Esau married into the Canaanite tribes, they became ever more evil, and were the sons of Cain the evil one that produced the Jews.”

Willie Martin’s ultimate motivation for holding to his particular and peculiar two seedline theory is to justify his anti-Semitism and overall racism, “race is at war, with the children of the devil, or Satan as the Scriptures attest.” Interestingly, he writes “Satan, the devil, does have literal children and that they come in all sizes, shapes and colors.” Yet, of course, he looks forward to when “Yahweh will destroy the Jews and all their lap-dogs, boot-licks and heal our land.”

Just as Clifton A. Emahiser constantly argues, Martin claims “Some claim that the two seedline came from the Talmud because it mentions that Eve had sex with an angel, and etc. Yet they never mention that the Bible was written thousands of years BEFORE the Talmud.” Indeed, Genesis was written circa two millennia before the Talmudim yet, Genesis does not teach Martin, et al.’s, version of the two seedlines so this is a moot point.

Willie Martin notes that “The Jewish rabbis” (as if there are Gentile Rabbis), “in reading Genesis 3:15…realized that the scriptures were teaching two seedlines.” Well, only the Rabbis who thought that the scriptures were teaching two seedlines claimed that the scriptures were teaching two seedlines.

For a taste of precisely where Martin is heading note his claim, “Christ had exposed them [Jews] as being the children of Cain…Satan was the father of Cain; who in turn was the father of the Jews.”

Let us consider where, in whatever regards, Martin’s claims intersect with Wesley A. Swift. One or both of them refers to the supposedly false, “assumption that the Fall of white Adamic man in the Garden of Eden was brought on by Eve listening to the manipulative and deceitful words of a literal talking snake and Eve’s eating of a literal piece of fruit…the Fall was brought on by an unholy sexual union between Satan and Eve.”
So we have two big issues with which to deal: “white Adamic man” and “an unholy sexual union.”

At N.C.’s Billy Graham Parkway an atheist billboard that read, “One Nation Indivisible” was spray painted to also read, “Under God.”

Obviously, the atheists who purchased the billboard (the Charlotte Atheists & Agnostics) have a tremendous amount of money and can waste it—during a time of recession—on attempting to advertize just how clever they are rather than helping anyone in need.
It is interesting that they chose to place it on Billy Graham Parkway since I can imagine, do not know but can certainly propose a solid hypothesis, that they did so in order to cause division. This is the very reason why “One Nation Indivisible” became divisible when their taunts were responded to via spray paint. I certainly do not condone defacing someone else’s property. The point is that they, likely, sought to antagonize and are now being antagonized. They should seek indivisibility and the defacers should turn the other cheek.

William Warren, spokesman Charlotte Atheists & Agnostics, stated,

It was done by one or two people off on their own who decided their only recourse was vandalism rather than having a conversation…
It does show how needed our message is. As atheists, we want to let people know we exist and that there’s a community here.

Yet, no one outside of N.C. would know about the billboard until it was defaced thus, it was an odd sort of blessing undisguised as this has set off the conversation. Also, if their goal was to let people know that they exist and that there is community in N.C. why did not the billboard read, “Atheists and agnostics exist and we have a group in N.C.”?

Lastly, note that a 2007 study by the Pew Research Center, “about 6 percent of Americans are secular. Less than 2 percent of all Americans identify as atheist.”1

For a consideration of the logically fallacious nature of the money wasting atheist bus ads and billboards, please see the essays at this link

Herein we begin considering Angels in the Targumim. The Targumim, plural of Targum (Strong’s H8638 meaning interpret as in Ezra 4:7), are Aramaic paraphrases of the Old Testament that began to be produced beginning at the time of the Second Temple period (530 BC and 70 AD). The fuller complete result consists of quotations of those sections within the text that refer to Angels, Cherubim, Seraphim, Devil, Satan, demons, serpent and dragon. The point is not to elucidate these references but to provide relevant partial quotations and citations. See my section on Angels here, Cherubim and Seraphim here, Satan here and Demons here.

Angels in the Targum of Palestine aka Targum of Jonathan Ben Uzziel

In the following quotations, the bracketed term “[JERUSALEM…” refers to fragments of the Jerusalem Targum from the Chaldee translated by J. W. Etheridge, M.A.

From the Genesis portion.
I And the Lord said to the Angels who ministered before Him, who had been created in the second day of the creation of the world, Let us make man in Our image, in Our likeness.

III In that hour the serpent spake accusation against his Creator, and said to the woman, Dying you will not die; for every artificer hateth the son of his art: for it is manifest before the Lord, that in the day that you eat of it, you will be as the great Angels, who are wise to know between good and evil…And the woman beheld Sammael, the Angel of death, and was afraid; yet she knew that the tree was good to eat, and that it was medicine for the enlightenment of the eyes, and desirable tree by means of which to understand… And the Lord God said to the Angels who ministered before Him, Behold, Adam is sole on the Earth, as I am sole in the heavens above; and it will be that they will arise from him who will know to discern between good and evil.

IV And Adam knew Hava his wife, who had desired the Angel; and she conceived, and bare Kain; and she said, I have acquired a man, the Angel of the Lord.

VI Of the fowl after its kind, and of all cattle after its kind, and of every reptile of the Earth after its kind, two of every (sort) shall enter to thee by the hand of the Angel, who will take and cause them to enter to thee, to be preserved. And thou, take to thee of all food that is eaten, and let it be to thee and to them for food. And Noah did according to all that the Lord had instructed him.

XI And the Lord said to the seventy Angels which stand before Him, Come, we will descend and will there commingle their language, that a man shall not understand the speech of his neighbour. And the Word of the Lord was revealed against the city, and with Him seventy Angels, having reference to seventy nations, each having its own language, and thence the writing of its own hand: and He dispersed them from thence upon the face of all the Earth into seventy languages.

XVI And the Angel of the Lord found her at the fountain of waters in the desert; at the fountain of waters which is in the way to Chagra. [JERUSALEM. Chalitza.] And He said, Hagar, handmaid of Sara, whence comest thou, and whither does thou go? And she said, From before Sara my mistress I have escaped. And the Angel of the Lord said to her, Return to thy mistress, and be subject under her hand. And the Angel of the Lord said to her, Multiplying I will multiply thy sons, and they shall not be numbered for multitude. And the Angel of the Lord said to her, Behold, thou art with child, and thou wilt bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Ishmael, because thy affliction is revealed before the Lord.

XVIII AND the glory of the Lord was revealed to him in the valley of Mamre; and he, being ill from the pain of circumcision, sat at the door of the tabernacle in the fervour (or strength) of the day. And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, three Angels in the resemblance of men were standing before him; (Angels) who had been sent from the necessity of three things;–because it is not possible for a ministering Angel to be sent for more than one purpose at a time…[JERUSALEM. Three Angels were sent to our father Abraham; and the three were sent for three things;–because it is not possible that one of the high Angels should be sent for more things than one. The first Angel was sent to announce to our father Abraham, that, behold, Sarah would bear Izhak; the second Angel was sent to deliver Lot from the midst of the overthrow; the third Angel was sent to overthrow Sedom and Amorah, Admah and Zeboim]…Sarah thy wife shall have a son.
And Sarah was hearkening at the door of the tent, and Ishmael stood behind her, and marked what the Angel said…And the Angel said, Fear not: yet in truth thou didst laugh…And the Angels, who had the likeness of men, arose from thence, and the one who had made known the tidings to Sarah ascended to the high heavens; and two of them looked toward Sedom; and Abraham went with them…And the Lord said to the ministering Angels, The cry of Sedom and Amorah, because they oppress the poor, and decree that whosoever giveth a morsel to the needy shall be burned with fire, is therefore great, and their guilt exceedingly weighty…And the Angels who had the likeness of men, turned thence and went towards Sedom.

XIX Two Angels came to Sedom at the evening; and Lot sat in the gate of Sedom…And at the time that the morning was about to uprise, the Angels were urgent upon Lot…And his wife looked after the Angel, to know what would be in the end of her father’s house, for she was of the daughters of the Sedomaee; and because she sinned by salt (bemilcha) she was manifestly punished; behold, she was made a statue of salt.

XXI …the Angel of the Lord called to Hagar from heaven.

XXII (Now) the eyes of Abraham looked on the eyes of Izhak; but the eyes of Izhak looked towards the Angels on high, (and) Izhak beheld them, but Abrahm saw them not. And the Angels answered on high, Come, behold how these solitary ones who are in the world kill the one the other; he who slayeth delays not; he who is to be slain reacheth forth his neck…[JERUSALEM…(Now) the eyes of Abraham reached unto the eyes of Izhak; but the eyes of Izhak reaching to the Angels on high. And Izhak beheld them, but Abraham saw them not. In that hour came forth the Angels on high, and said, these to these, Come, behold two righteous ones alone in the midst of the world: the one slayeth, the other is slain…]…And the Angel of the Lord called to him from the heavens, and said to him, Abraham! Abraham!…And the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham the second time from the heavens…And the Angels on high took Izhak and brought him into the school (medresha) of Shem the Great; and he was there three years.

XXIII He will seasonably send His Angel, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from thence.

XXVI The Lord before whom I worship will appoint His Angel to be with thee, and will prosper thy way.

XXVII …an Angel prepared it for him, from the wine which had been kept in its grapes from the days of the beginning of the world.

[XXVIII.] And, behold, the two Angels who went unto Sedom, and who had been expelled from the midst of them, because they had revealed the secrets of the Lord of the world; and being cast forth they had walked till the time that Jakob went out from the house of his father, and had accompanied him with kindliness unto Bethel, in that day had ascended to the high heavens, and said, Come, see Jakob the pious, whose likeness is inlaid in the throne of glory, and whom you have so greatly desired to behold. Then the rest of the Angels of the holy Lord descended to look upon him…[12…And, behold, the Angels who had accompanied him from the house of his father, ascended to make known to the Angels on high, saying, Come, see Jakob the pious, whose likeness is in the throne of glory, and whom you have been desirous to see! And, behold, the holy Angels from before the Lord ascended and descended, and looked upon him.]

XXX [JERUSALEM. Four keys are held in the hand of the Lord of all the world, even the Lord, and He will not deliver them either to Angel or to saraph; the key of the rain, the key of the provender, the key of the sepulchre, the key of barrenness…]

XXXI And the Angel of the Lord said to me, in a dream, Jakob. And I said, Behold me…And there came an Angel with a word from before the Lord.

XXXII And Jakob went on his way, and the Angels of the Lord met him. And Jakob said when he saw them, These are not the host of Esau who are coming to meet me, nor the host of Laban, who have returned from pursuing me; but they are the host of the holy Angels who are sent from before the Lord…And Jakob remained alone beyond the Jubeka; and an Angel contended with him in the likeness of a man…And he said, Let me go, for the column of the morning ascendeth; and the hour cometh when the Angels on high offer praise to the Lord of the world: and I am one of the Angels of praise, but from the day that the world was created my time to praise hath not come until now…And he said, What is thy name? He answered, Jakob. And he said, Thy name shall be no more called Jakob but Israel, because thou art magnified with the Angels of the Lord and with the mighty, and thou hast prevailed with them…And Jakob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, I have seen the Angels of the Lord face to face, and my soul is saved…the Angel touched and laid hold of the hollow of the right thigh of Jakob, in the place of the sinew which shrank.

XXXIII And Jakob said, Say not so, I beseech thee. If now I have found favor in thy eyes, accept my present from my hand; because I have seen the look of thy face, and it is to me as the vision of the face of thy Angel; for, lo, thou art propitious to me.

XXXV And he builded there an altar, and named that place, To God, who made His Shekinah to dwell in Bethel, because there had been revealed to him the Angels of the Lord, in his flight from before Esau his brother.

XLVIII The Lord, before whom my fathers Abraham and Izhak, did serve; the Lord who hath fed me since I have been unto this day, be pleased that the Angel whom thou didst ordain for me, to redeem me from all evil, may bless the children; and let my name be called upon them, and the names of my fathers Abrabam and Izhak.

From the Exodus portion.
III And Zagnugael, the Angel of the Lord, appeared to him in a fame of fire in the midst of the bush.

IV But it was on the way, in the place of lodging that the Angel of the Lord met him, and sought to kill him, because Gershom his son had not been circumcised, inasmuch as Jethro his father-in-law had not permitted him to circumcise him…the Angel, the Destroyer…And the destroying Angel desisted from him, so that Zipporah gave thanks, and said, How lovely is the blood of this circumcision that bath delivered my husband from the Angel of destruction! [JERUSALEM. And when the Destroyer had ceased from him, Zipporah gave thanks and said, How lovely is the blood of this circumcision which hath saved my husband from the hand of the Angel of death !]

V I have not found written in the Book of the Angels the name of the Lord.

XII And I will be revealed in the land of Mizraim in the majesty of My glory this night, and with Me ninety thousand myriads of destroying Angels… the Angel of death, to whom is given the power to destroy, shall have no dominion over you in the slaughter of the Mizraee…the Word of the Lord will spread His protection over the door, and the destroying Angel will not be permitted to enter your houses to smite…This is that Night of preservation from the destroying Angel for all the sons of Israel who were in Mizraim, and of redemption of their generations from their captivity.

XIV And the Angel of the Lord who led the way before the hosts of Israel went and came behind them; and the column of the Cloud went from before and stood behind them.

XV …our mothers went forth upon the face of the field to give us birth, and leave us there; and He sent an Angel who washed us and enwrapped us.

XXII But the anger of the Lord was provoked, because he would go (that he might) curse them; and the Angel of the Lord stood in the way to be an adversary to him. But he sat upon his ass, and his two young men, Jannes and Jambres, were with him. And the ass discerned the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with a drawn sword in his hand, and the ass turned aside out of the road, to go into the field. And Bileam smote the ass to make her return unto the way. And the Angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path that was in the midst between vineyards, [JERUSALEM. And the Angel of the Lord stood between the vineyards, a hedge (being) on this and on that side,] in the place where Jacob and Laban raised the mound, the pillar on this side and the observatory on that side, which they raised, that neither should pass that limit to do evil (to the other).
And the ass discerned the Angel of the Lord, and thrust herself against the hedge, and bruised Bileam’s foot by the hedge, and he smote her again; for the Angel was invisible to him. And the Angel of the Lord yet passed on, and stood in a distant place, where there was no way to turn either to the right or left. And the ass saw the Angel of the Lord, and fell under Bileam; and Bileam’s wrath was strong, so that he smote the ass with his staff…And the Lord unveiled the eyes of Bileam, and he beheld the Angel of the Lord standing in the way, his sword unsheathed in his hand; and he bowed, and worshipped on his face. And the Angel of the Lord said to him, why hast thou smitten thine ass these three times?…And Bileam said to the Angel of the Lord, I have sinned, because I knew not that thou wast standing against me in the way…But the Angel of the Lord said to Bileam, Go with these men; but the word that I will tell thee that thou shalt speak. And Bileam went with the princes of Balak.

XXIII Behold, I will send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee in to the place of My habitation which I have prepared…For My Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee to the Amoraee, and Pherizaee, and Kenaanaee, Hivaee, and Jebusaee; and I will destroy them.

XXIV …the Angel stood over against him: he hath said who heard the Word from before the living God.

XXV An Angel came and made bare their corpses in sight of the people.

XXVI And the middle bar in the midst of the boards passing from end to end shall be from the tree which Abraham planted in Beara of Sheba: for when Israel had crossed the sea, the Angels cut down the tree and cast it into the sea, and it floated on the face of the waters. And an Angel proclaimed, and said, This is the tree which Abraham planted in Beara of Sheba, and prayed there in the name of the Word of the Lord.

XXXIII My Angel shall proceed before thee; but in the day of My visitation I will visit upon them their sin…And I will appoint before thee an Angel, and by his hand will cast out…And I will make the host of Angels who stand and minister before Me to pass by, and thou shalt see the handborder of the tephilla of My glorious Shekinah; but the face of the glory of My Shekinah thou canst not be able to see. [JERUSALEM. And I will cause the hosts of Angels who stand and minister before Me to pass by, and will make known the oracle; for the glory of My Shekinah thou art not able to behold.

From the Numbers portion.
XXV Swearing by My Name, I say to him, Behold, I decree to him My covenant of peace, and will make him an Angel of the covenant, that he may ever live, to announce the Redemption at the end of the days.
