(The Saints)
1. After these things the Word of YHWH came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
2. And Abram said, 'Adonay YHWH, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
3. And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4. And, behold, the Word of YHWH came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
5. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
6. And he believed in The YHWH; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
The seed of Abram would be as the telling of the stars for number.
Genesis 22:15-18
15. And the Mal'ak of YHWH called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16. And said, By myself have I sworn, saith YHWH, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17. That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
The seed of Abraham as the stars and as the sand of the seashore.
Genesis 26:3-6
3. Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
4. And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5. Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6. And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
And the seed of Isaac would be as the stars of heaven.
Genesis 32:24-30
24. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with 'Elohiym and with men, and hast prevailed.
29. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen 'Elohiym face to face, and my life is preserved.
Jacob was blessed by God and his name was changed to ISRAEL.
Genesis 37:9-11
9. And 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.
10. And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11. And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
The twelve stars in the dream of Joseph are himself and his eleven brothers: The twelve stars are the twelve sons of Jacob. Jacob already interprets the dream for us revealing himself to be the SUN and Rachel to be the MOON (Rachel was the mother of Joseph). Although Jacob rebukes Joseph over the dream the Scripture explicitly states that Jacob "OBSERVED THE SAYING".
Jacob is the man surnamed "Israel" ~
ISRAEL = THE SUN
RACHEL = THE MOON
TWELVE TRIBAL HEADS = TWELVE STARS
From here the foundation is laid for all Scripture typology concerning the "Stars of Heaven" and therefore the stars of heaven are PEOPLE. Specifically the Stars of Heaven are the sons of Jacob, the children of Israel, the Twelve Tribes, even the Saints, (there be also the "wandering stars" as in Jude 1:13).
The Song of Deborah and Barak
Judges 5:14-20
14. Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
15. And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
16. Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17. Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
18. Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
19. The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20. They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Sisera was a Canaanite king defeated at Megiddo.
The typology of Sisera is the Devil, Satan, and the Red Dragon.
The Stars fought from Heaven and the Stars are the Twelve Tribes.
The Stars of Israel jeoparded their lives in "the high places of the field".
The Stars loved not their lives unto the death ~ Revelation 12 ...
Psalms 147:2-4
2. YHWH doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
Original Strong's Ref. #3556
Romanized kowkab

probably from the same as HSN3522 (in the sense of rolling) or HSN3554 (in the sense of blazing); a star (as round or as shining); figuratively, a prince:
KJV--star([-gazer]).
In Daniel 8 we read of "the stars of heaven" being trampled by a little horn. There is a war between the little horn and the Prince (Sar) of the army (tsaba') of heaven.
Daniel 8:8-11a KJV
8. Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
9. And 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.
10. And it waxed great, even to the host (HSN#6635 tsaba') of heaven; and it cast down some of the host (HSN#6635 tsaba') and of the stars (HSN#3556 kowkab) to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11a. Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince (HSN#8269 sar) of the host, (HSN#6635 tsaba')

9. And 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.
10. And it waxed great, even to the army of heaven; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11a. Yea, he magnified himself even to the Sar of the army ...
The interpretation given in Daniel 8:25 tells us who "the Sar" is.
He is the "Sar-sariym" which is translated: "Prince of princes" ~ Yeshua
Daniel 8:25 TUA (Transliterated Unaccented Hebrew Bible)
25. W`al- siklow whitsliyach mirmahbyadow. Uwbilbabow yagdiyl. Uwbshalwah yashchiyt rabiym.W`al- Sar- sariym ya`mod. Uwb'epec yad yishaber.
Daniel 8:23-25 KJV
23. And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
The Prince or "Captain of the host" is thus clarified to Daniel:
Joshua 5:13-15
13. And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
14. And he said, Nay; but as Captain (HSN#8269 sar) of the host (HSN#6635 tsaba') of YHWH am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
15. And the Captain of the host of YHWH said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
Joshua 5:15 TUA (Transliterated Unaccented Hebrew Bible)
15. Wayo'mer sar- tsba' YHWH 'el- Yhowshua`, Shal-na`alka me`al ragleka kiy hamaqowm 'sher 'atah `omed`alayw qodesh! Huw' waya`as Yhowshua` ken.
The Sar of the army of the Stars of Heaven is Michael.
Daniel 10:21 KJV
21. But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince (HSN#8269 sar).
Daniel 12:1-3 KJV
1. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince ("ha-Sar ha-Gadowl") which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars (HSN#3556 kowkab) for ever and ever.
At the opening of the great vision of Daniel 10-12 we find a description of Michael, the One and only Archangel, the Head of the Sariym-princes. We can know this is Michael and not Gabriel because "the man Gabriel" tells Daniel in the same chapter that he was detained with the kings of Persia for twenty one days until Michael came and succoured, (surrounded) him. He then "jutted over" from the kings of Persia. Daniel sees Michael in the opening of chapter Ten. Gabriel is "succoured" by Michael and brought to Daniel to give him the message-vision, (the same way it happens in the Book of the Revelation of Yeshua).
Daniel 10:13 YGB (Young's Literal Bible)
13. 'And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing over-against me twenty and one days, and lo, Michael, first of the chief heads, hath come in to help (HSN#5826 `azar) me, and I have remained (HSN#3498 yathar) there near the kings of Persia;
Original Strong's Ref. #5826
Romanized `azar
Pronounced aw-zar'
a primitive root; to surround, i.e. protect or aid:
KJV--help, succour.
Original Strong's Ref. #3498
Romanized yathar
Pronounced yaw-thar'
a primitive root; to jut over or exceed; by implication, to excel; (intransitively) to remain or be left; causatively, to leave, cause to abound, preserve:
KJV--excel, leave (a remnant), left behind, too much, make plenteous, preserve, (be, let) remain(-der, -ing, -nant), reserve, residue, rest.
Daniel 10:13 TUA (Transliterated Unaccented Hebrew Bible)
13. Wsar malkuwt Parac `omed lnegdiy`esriym w'echad yowm. Whineh, Miyka'el, 'achad hasariym hari'shoniym, ba' l`azreniy. Wa'niy nowtartiy sham 'etselmalkey Parac.
13. "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia stood to my face twenty and the first day. And behold, Michael, the 'Echad of the princes of the beginnings, came for to succour me; And I jutted over [from] there beside of the kings of Persia."
Daniel 10:14 KJV
14. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
The description of Michael is identical to that of Christ Yeshua
Daniel 10:5-6 KJV
5. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
6. His body also was like the Beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Revelation 1:13-16 KJV
13. And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15. And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
JACOB = ISRAEL
ISRAEL = THE SUN
Stars of Heaven ~ Army of Heaven ~ The Tribes ~ The Saints
Sar-sariym ~ Prince of princes ~ Captain of the Army of Heaven
Michael ~ Standing for the children of the people of Daniel
Michael ~ The Great Prince ~ "ha-Sar ha-Gadowl"
37. And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38. But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43. It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
All of this is interrelated and according this Scripture there are differing "glories" from one "star" to another. The resurrection will be the same according to this passage. Thus, the twelve sons or "tribal heads" are "stars" as on the crown of the Revelation 12 woman but that fact is taken in conjunction with the fact that their spiritual posterity, (i.e. the symbolic 144000 portrayed in Revelation 7) are also likened to "the stars of heaven". The tribal heads are more like a "genus" or "species" of plant and seed all coming from the one original. The original was Abraham who was promised that his seed would be as the stars of heaven for multitude, (innumerable) as quoted in so many places above; and the original seed of Abraham is CHRIST according to Galatians 3:16.
Galatians 3:16 KJV
16. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
The sons of YHWH 'Elohiym are therefore likened to "the stars of heaven" for multitude and also for brightness in the resurrection according to the 1Cor.15 passage and also according to Daniel 12:3 quoted above. The stars were set in their courses in the very beginning of creation to show mankind these things, (the "signs" or "symbols" of Genesis 1:14).
The woman of Revelation 12 is clothed with the SUN. Who is the sun according to Jacob's own interpretation of the dream of his son Joseph? Jacob sees himself as the SUN because he says to Joseph concerning the dream: "Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?" Jacob therefore interprets himself as the sun and the Scripture then states that even though he had rebuked Joseph, still "HE OBSERVED THE SAYING".
Revelation 12:1 KJV
1. 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:
The Revelation 12 woman is Clothed with the SUN = JACOB-ISRAEL
The Revelation 12 woman has a Crown of Twelve Stars = 12 TRIBES
The Revelation 12 woman is Zion-Jerusalem of Above = THE BRIDE-WIFE
Who then are "the stars of heaven" mentioned in Revelation 12:4?
Revelation 12:2-4 KJV
2. And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4. And 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.
Clearly from the Scriptures "the stars of heaven" are the children of Abraham. What is "the tail of the red dragon" which casts the stars of heaven down to the earth?
Isaiah 9:15-16 KJV
15. The ancient and honourable, ("old man") he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, ("false prophet") he is the tail.
16. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
The Tail of the Red Dragon is the FALSE PROPHET
Re: THE BEASTS OF MAN
Romanized tamiyd
Pronounced taw-meed'
from an unused root meaning to stretch; properly, continuance (as indefinite extension); but used only (attributively as adjective) constant (or adverbially, constantly); ellipt. the regular (daily) sacrifice:
KJV--alway(-s), continual (employment, -ly), daily, ([n-])ever(-more), perpetual.
Daniel 8 speaks nothing of the daily SACRIFICES. The word "tamiyd" is employed by itself without the usage of any other word for "sacrifice" in the Daniel 8 passage. Thus, if one would desire to understand what is being spoken of then one would be well advised to seek out at least the first several places in the Scripture where the word Tamiyd is employed. The first usage of Tamiyd is in relationship with the daily shewbread, (the continual daily bread of the Tabernacle-Sanctuary-Temple).
Exodus 25:30 KJV
30. And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me always (HSN#8548 tamiyd).
Exodus 25:30 YGB (Youngs Literal)
30. and thou hast put on the table bread of the presence before Me continually.
Tamiyd is next found in Exodus 28:29-30 concerning the Breastplate.
Exodus 28:29-30 KJV
29. And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the Lord continually (HSN#8548 tamiyd).
30. And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the Lord: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the Lord continually (HSN#8548 tamiyd).
Tamiyd is then employed concerning the engraved golden plate-crown of the mitsnepheth-Miter which is to be upon the FOREHEAD of the high priest and to be worn TAMIYD-CONTINUALLY before YHWH.
Exodus 28:36-38 KJV
36. And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
37. And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
38. And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always (HSN#8548 tamiyd) upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the Lord.
The passage above containing the description of the pure gold plate or crown is the polar opposite of the Revelation 17 "harlot woman" which also has a name upon her forehead, (which the KJV also translates all caps). The Revelation 17 woman is the flesh, and of below, and of the flesh Covenant of below which genders BONDAGE.
Tamiyd is finally used in the context of the daily sacrifices but not until its fifth occurrence in the Scripture. However, the word "tamiyd" does not mean "daily" in the context but rather is translated "continually" (perpetually). The compound word translated "day by day" is "la-yowm" which means "for the day" (i.e. two lambs "for the day" ~ continually). The exact phrase is "la-yowm tamiyd".
Exodus 28:38 KJV
38. Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually (HSN#8548 tamiyd).
39. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
TAMIYD is used for the CONTINUAL incense offered upon the Golden Altar.
TAMIYD is used for the OIL (Spirit) in the CONTINUALLY burning Menorah.
Exodus 30:8 KJV
8. And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
Leviticus 24:2 KJV
2. Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
TAMIYD implies ALL of the continual-perpetual holy things which are continually before YHWH. The most important of which for the saints is THE BREAD OF LIFE which as we know is YESHUA. This also is the first usage of TAMIYD in all of the Scripture, employed in Exodus 25:30 shown above, for the CONTINUAL SHEWBREAD.
Daniel 8:11 then describes a FAMINE of the Tamiyd Bread, a lack of the TAMIYD OIL in the Lamps, the wrong NAME engraven in the gold plate-crown of the mitsnepheth-Miter which is to be CONTINUALLY upon the forehead of the priests. YHWH states that he will bring a famine, not of physical food, but of hearing of the Words of YHWH. This happens because of rebellion which must be crushed before we can really ever know Him. The holy city, Jerusalem of Above, is taken up from the little horn and the habitation-place of his miqdash, (chapel-sanctuary-BODY-temple) is cast down.
Daniel 8:11 KJV
11. Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by (HSN#4480 min) him the daily (HSN#8548 tamiyd) sacrifice was taken away, (HSN#7311 ruwm) and the place (HSN#4349 makown) of his sanctuary (HSN#4720 miqdash) was cast down.

"uwmimenuw" = "OUT FROM HIM" ~ "AWAY FROM HIM"
Daniel 8:11 TUA (Hebrew Transliterated Unaccented)
11. W`ad Sar- hatsaba' higdiyl.Uwmimenuw huwram {*} hatamiyd. Whushlak mkown miqdashow.
Daniel 8:11
11. Even unto the Sar-Prince of the army he magnified, and from him was taken up the Tamiyd, (tamiyd-continual holy things). And was cast down the habitation of his miqdash-chapel-temple-body.
Daniel 8 and Revelation 12 are Companion Chapters
The "Tamiyd" is the Woman of Revelation 12.
The Revelation 12 Woman is all of the tamiyd-continual holy things (Covenant).
The Woman is Jerusalem of Above, mother of us all (Hebrews 12:22, Gal.4:26).
The Tamiyd is taken up on two wings of a Great Eagle (O/T ~ N/T).
Her seed keep the commandments of YHWH and have the testimony of Yeshua.
Revelation 12:14 KJV
14. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Revelation 12:17 KJV
17. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The Stars of Heaven are the Saints ~
And Revelation 9:1 reveals that the Stars fall from heaven one at a time ~
Each in his appointed time: from the Resurrection of Yeshua until now …
Revelation 9:1-2 KJV
1. And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Daniel 8:10 KJV
10. And 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.
Revelation 12:4 KJV
4. And 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.
There is no reason for the little horn to stamp upon fallen angelic creatures if once he had cast them out of heaven. This is because the fallen angelic creatures have no chance of salvation or redemption from their fallen state according to the Scripture. They cannot be trampled anymore than when they first fell, and to trample them now defeats the purposes of the enemy, and if he is divided against himself his kingdom cannot stand. There is a War ongoing, yet the fate of the fallen angels has already been sealed from long ago at the beginning.
Matthew 12:26 KJV
26. And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
The Stars of Daniel 8:10 and Revelation 12:4 are exactly what the rest of Scripture states that they are: The children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ~ Israel.
"We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places"...
49. Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
50. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51. And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon ("because of" GSN#1909 "epi") the Son of man.
Revelation 12:7-9 KJV
7. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8. And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 19:11 KJV
11. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
The "heaven and the heaven of heavens" cannot contain YHWH 'Elohiym.
Yet has he chosen to dwell in Temples not made with hands:
Deuteronomy 10:12-14 KJV
12. And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
13. To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
14. Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
2 Chronicles 2:5-6 KJV
5. And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.
6. But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
2 Chronicles 6:1-3 KJV
1. Then said Solomon, The Lord hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2. But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.
3. And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
Solomon NEVER turns back around ~
BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE THE TEMPLE!
2 Chronicles 6:17-20 KJV
17. Now then, O Lord God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.
18. But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
19. Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:
20. That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.
25. And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26. If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27. Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29. And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Yeshua states that even in his physical body he was IN HEAVEN ~
John 3:12-13 KJV
12. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
How is it possible that the Son of man was IN HEAVEN?
Matthew 3:16-17
16. And Yeshua, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of the Theou descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17. And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
And the prayer of the Master for us is for the same:
John 14:1-4 KJV
1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
John 17:13-26 KJV
13. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Not that we should be "taken out of the world" but that where HE IS we should be also. And Yeshua was IN HEAVEN even while upon the earth in his human bodily form because the Spirit of the Theou was upon him, O HOLY DAY! There is an absolute truth but it is found only in the Scripture and does not currently dwell among the counsels, dogmas, and traditions of men.
Ephesians 1:1-6 KJV
1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2. Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6. To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Ephesians 2:4-7 KJV
4. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6. And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
How are we seated in heavenly places in Christ Yeshua? How are we become a new creation in Christ? What is truly the NEW HEAVEN and NEW EARTH of which the Scripture speaks? Heaven is the mind and the earth, soil, or clay, is the man or woman. The 'adamah-soil is the soil of the heart from which Adam was taken, (as in the soil of the heart in the Parable of the Sower). The 'erets-land is the outer bounds, fields, or "commons" like the outer court of the Temple; which is the court of the Gentiles, (or the seven heathen nations of Deuteronomy 7:1).
All of the living creatures, the cattle, the creeping things, and beasts of the earth, and of the field; all of them came forth from "ha'erets" in the beginning which is the 'erets-land-world-earth. The same word is used from Genesis 1:1 through the text until Genesis 1:25. Yet Genesis Ch.1 stops short of stating anything about Man being created from the 'erets-land-earth. It is only in Genesis 2 where we find what Man is created from; and it is "the dust from the 'adamah-soil-earth".
Genesis 1:1 KJV
1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (HSN#776 'erets).
Genesis 1:24 KJV
24. And God said, Let the earth (HSN#776 'erets) bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth (HSN#776 'erets) after his kind: and it was so.
Original Strong's Ref. #776
Romanized 'erets
Pronounced eh'-rets
from an unused root probably meaning to be firm; the earth (at large, or, partitively, a land):
KJV--X common, country, earth, field, ground, land, X natins, way, + wilderness, world.
However, in the following verse a new word for "earth" appears:
Genesis 1:25 KJV
25. And God made the beast of the earth (HSN#776 'erets) after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth (HSN#127 'adamah) after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Why do we suddenly need two different words which appear on the surface to mean the same thing? Obviously then they do not mean the same thing because there are apparently "creeping things" which, according to Genesis 1:25, "creepeth UPON the 'adamah-soil-earth". Automatically therefore a red flag should be raised in the mind of the reader because immediately the 'Adamah is portrayed as INTERNAL SOIL and the 'Erets is portrayed as EXTERNAL LAND. And the name of Adam is the same word for Mankind, (HSN#120 'adam).
Genesis 2:7 KJV
7. And the Lord God formed man (HSN#120 'adam) of the dust of the ground, (HSN#127 'adamah) and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man (HSN#120 'adam) became a living soul.
Original Strong's Ref. #120
Romanized 'adam
Pronounced aw-dawm'
from HSN0119; ruddy i.e. a human being (an individual or the species, mankind, etc.):
KJV--X another, + hypocrite, + common sort, X low, man (mean, of low degree), person.
Original Strong's Ref. #127
Romanized 'adamah
Pronounced ad-aw-maw'
from HSN0119; soil (from its general redness):
KJV--country, earth, ground, husband[-man] (-ry), land.
Genesis 2:7 TUA (Transliterated Unaccented)
7. Wayiytser YHWH 'Elohiym 'et- ha'adam `apar min-ha'damah wayipach b'apayw nishmat chayiym wayhiy ha'adam lnepesh chayah.
Genesis 2:7
7. And formed YHWH 'Elohiym the man, (ha'adam) of dust from the soil, (ha'adamah) and blew into his nostrils the breath of life; and became the man (ha'adam) into a nephesh-soul living.
These are the parameters from which the Scripture truly speaks of earth, land, and soil, and we find that for the most part these truths are consistent throughout, (except in the places where we have not yet understood the symbolism and true meanings in our walk with Christ). And one may not fully understand the Greek NT without at least some understanding of these concepts. For instance we find in Exodus 20, given with the Decalogue, a commandment to build unto YHWH an ALTAR OF 'ADAMAH-SOIL. One cannot fully understand this until he or she begins to fully understand the doctrines, teachings, and Torah interpretations of Yeshua because it was not explained or expounded until the Parable of the Sower, (concerning the soil of the heart). The Altar of 'Adamah is "good and fertile soil" of the heart which Adam was created from in the very beginning.
Exodus 20:18-24 KJV
18. And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
19. And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21. And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
22. And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23. Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
24. An altar of earth (HSN#127 'adamah) thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
Deuteronomy 11:7-21 KJV
7. But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he did.
8. Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;
9. And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
10. For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
11. But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
12. A land which the Lord thy God careth for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
13. And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14. That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
15. And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
16. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
17. And then the Lord's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you.
18. Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
19. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
20. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
21. That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

Ezekiel 11:14-20
14. Again the Word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
15. Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from YHWH: unto us is this 'erets-land given in possession.
16. Therefore say, Thus saith 'Adonay YHWH; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the 'erets-lands, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary (HSN#4720 "miqdash"-chapel) in the 'erets-lands where they shall come.
17. Therefore say, Thus saith 'Adonay YHWH; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the 'erets-lands where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the 'adamah-soil of Israel.
18. And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19. And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20. That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their 'Elohiym.
Original Strong's Ref. #4720
Romanized miqdash
Pronounced mik-dawsh'
or miqqdash (Exo.15v17) {mik-ked-awsh'}; from HSN6942; a consecrated thing or place, especially, a palace, sanctuary (whether of YHWH or of idols) or asylum: KJV--chapel, hallowed part, holy place, sanctuary.
Ephesians 2:11-13 KJV
11. Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12. That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants (plural) of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:16-17 KJV
16. Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
17. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Revelation 21:1-6 KJV
1. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Revelation 21:22 KJV
22. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
"Thus saith 'Adonay YHWH; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the 'erets-lands, yet will I be to them as a little miqdash in the 'erets-lands where they shall come"...
Imagine for a moment that the most important heaven to YHWH is the mind and that the 'adamah-soil of the heart is an earthen altar, and the 'erets-land, (outer commons) is his footstool. Yet a little while and all things shall be put under the feet of Yeshua, for he must rule until all things be put under his feet. The Throne of YHWH is the mind and the One who searches the reins and hearts is Christ, (Rev.2:23). And the last enemy to be destroyed is death, and when death is destroyed IN YOU then shall the Son hand the kingdom over to the Father, (each in his appointed time) that YHWH be all in all.
1 Corinthians 15:24-28 KJV
24. THEN COMETH THE END, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Nathanael indeed "saw" heaven opened ~ THEY ALL DID
John 20:20-22 KJV
20. And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Luke 24:44-45 KJV
44. And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Luke 24:45 ASV
45. Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;
It has nothing to do with a literal "one thousand year millennial kingdom" of flesh upon the worldwide planet earth as the modern shepherds and dispensationalist teachers would like you to believe. However, it has everything to do with the "Days of Heaven upon the Earth" as foretold in Deuteronomy 11:21 and fulfilled in the Book of the Sevenfold Revelation of Yeshua ~
