The True Meaning of the word Ba'al

ba'al meaning 


  • Jeremiah 31:32 (WEBA)
  • 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says Yahweh.

This word husband = ba'al, and ba'al does not mean husband. Remember, those same people that changed the words in our bibles, also wrote our bible dictionaries. Let's look at the true meaning of the word ba'al:

Baal, or Baʿal, is a term that means "owner" or "lord" in ancient Semitic languages, and it was often used to refer to gods in the region, particularly as a title for deities associated with fertility and storms. The word can also imply rulership or dominion over something.

In order to understand Yah's True intent here, we must refer to the Torah of Yah. What does the Torah define as Marriage.

The Bible outlines marriage laws emphasizing that marriage is a sacred union established by Elohim between one man and one woman. It also includes guidelines on divorce, stating that divorce is permissible only in cases of sexual immorality (or idolatry).

  •  Genesis 2:24: [NASB]
    For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

  • Leviticus 18:22:
    You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.

  • Romans 1:26:
    For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,
    Romans 1:27:
    and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 

Truly, it is an abomination for a male to lie with a male, and likewise a woman with another woman.

ba'al does not mean husband because that would mean that Yahuah married Men, That is in direct violation to the Torah, and Yahuah (and our Messiah alike), Establish and Do the Torah, They Do Not Break the Torah. therefore, the word baal can only be defined as deity.

ba'al = deity

And there is no deity over Yahuah, our Elohim.

 -----------

Here's Another case in point: Let's get the proper translation of Hosea 2:16.

  • Hosea 2:16 [NASB]
  • “It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord, “That you will call Me Ishi And will no longer call Me Baali.

Lets look at several dictionaries to gain an understanding of the words [Ishi and Baali and Baal]:

  •   Strongs: H376 [Ishi]

    [Baali] translates to: Yah, Yahuah 

  • Brown Driver Briggs
  •  Strongs: H376 [Ishi]

    H0376H376 אִישׁ man (= vir)

  • Strongs: H376 [Ishi] (Strong's Hebrew Bible Dictionary)

    376 'iysh eesh

    contracted for 582 (or perhaps rather from an unused root
    meaning to be extant); a man as an individual or a male
    person
    ; often used as an adjunct to a more definite term (and
    in such cases frequently not expressed in
    translation):--also, another, any (man), a certain, +
    champion, consent, each, every (one), fellow, (foot-,
    husband-)man, (good-, great, mighty) man, he, high (degree),
    him (that is), husband, man(-kind), + none, one, people,
    person, + steward, what (man) soever, whoso(-ever), worthy.
    Compare 802.
    see HEBREW for 0582
    see HEBREW for 0802


  • Strongs: H1180 [Baali] (Strong's Hebrew Bible Dictionary)

    1180 Ba`aliy bah-al-ee'

    from 1167 with pron. suff.; my master; Baali, a symbolical
    name for Jehovah
    :--Baali.
    see HEBREW for 01167


Ishi Definition = man

Baali Definition = Yahuah


Therefore Hosea 2:16 should say:

  •  Hosea 2:16
  • “It will come about in that day,” declares Yahuah, “That you will call Me man And will no longer call Me Yahuah.

In conclusion, as we consider Hosea 2:16, we will no longer call Yahuah our Elohim, because we will all be Elohim. Are we equal? of course not, there is an hierarchy in the heavens. Yah is the Highest of the High. And Yahusha is the Highest of High's, High Priest. There is none higher, at that point, we will have been changed from mortal to immortal beings. We will have put off the perishable, and put on the imperishable, per 1Corinthians 15:53.

  •  I Corinthians 15:53:
    For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Also please consider that we were made in His image according to Genesis 1:27.

  • Genesis 1:27:
    God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

In addition, we believe through study, that the word "Husband" has been placed where it was, out of context, as we discovered. Could it have been placed there in an effort to lead us astray? Possibly. Yah will not break His own Torah. Please take time to Study The Torah of our Elohim. You will find many words that have been twisted, to the demise of the persons that Twisted them.

We hope and pray that this has been an encouragement to you in your studies as well. May the Blessings of Yahuah our Elohim, and Yahusha our Messiah be over you.

Beyond The Purple Cloth


🌿 Reflecting on Easter and the Deeper Truth of Passover 

Growing up, Easter was pure magic for me. I still remember those Sunday morning church services in our sanctuary: the large cross at the front draped in a satin purple cloth, my grandfather Richard Emmons standing in the balcony above, playing his trumpet. The notes would echo through the huge chamber like a heavenly call, and as he played that triumphant tune, the purple cloth would slowly rise and float off the cross, revealing the symbol of resurrection. It was emotional, beautiful, full of wonder.

After service, we’d hunt for brightly colored eggs hidden around the church yard, get huge chocolate bunnies to take home, and discover Easter baskets overflowing with treats left by the “Easter Bunny.” I even remember dreaming as a kid (around 7 or 8 yrs old) about a giant Easter Bunny hopping in our front yard! Those traditions felt joyful and innocent, and I cherish the family memories tied to them.

But as I’ve grown older, now in my 60’s, and spent time really studying the Scriptures, my eyes have opened to something deeper and more profound. 

What we call “Easter” today isn’t exactly what the Bible describes for the resurrection of our Savior, Yahusha/Yahshua/Jesus.

He died during Passover—the biblical feast YAH commanded forever in Exodus 12 (TS2009). A perfect, unblemished lamb was slain, its blood applied so death would pass over obedient homes. That deliverance from Egypt was a shadow pointing to the greater redemption through Messiah.

Yahusha gathered His disciples for the Passover meal (Matthew 26), broke bread and shared wine, saying, “This is My body… This is My blood of the renewed covenant.” Then, as our perfect Passover Lamb, He was sacrificed, right in line with the timing of the Temple lambs; so we could be set free from sin and death.

As 1 Corinthians 5:7 (TS2009) beautifully puts it: “For indeed Messiah, our Pĕsaḥ (Passover), was sacrificed for us.”

Passover isn’t “Jewish”; it’s one of YAH’s Appointed Feasts (moedim), a bridge directly to the resurrection.

One thing that stood out to me is the timing. Scripture says Yahusha would be “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth,” like Jonah in the fish (Matthew 12:40). Yet the common Good Friday to Easter Sunday timeline doesn’t add up to three full days and three full nights. 

Many believers now see His crucifixion aligning more closely with the Passover preparation, leading to resurrection at the end of the weekly Sabbath; fulfilling the sign exactly.

These man-made additions, like colored eggs, the Easter Bunny, and even the name “Easter” itself, have roots in ancient spring festivals and fertility symbols, not in Scripture. They’re traditions of men, and the Word warns us about elevating them above YAH’s commands.

In Mark 7:6-9 (TS2009), Yahusha quotes Isaiah: “This people respect Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.” He adds, “For laying aside the command of Elohim, you hold fast the tradition of men… Well do you set aside the command of Elohim, in order to guard your tradition.”

Colossians 2:8 echoes: “See to it that no one makes a prey of you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men… and not according to Messiah.”

I’m not sharing this to judge or take away anyone’s joy, I participated in all those Easter traditions for decades, and they meant a lot in my family. But now I see how much richer it is to focus on what YAH actually appointed: remembering Passover in the name of our Messiah, the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.

This has also led me to reflect humbly on traditions in Judaism as well. Just as many Christian practices add elements not found in Scripture, rabbinic Judaism includes oral traditions and interpretations (like those in the Talmud) that go beyond the written Torah YAH gave. 

Both Christianity and Judaism, in their organized forms, have layered on man-made customs over time. 

In the end, what we truly need is simply YAH’s Word, His pure instructions as revealed in Scripture and to walk in His ways as best we understand them through the whole counsel of the Bible, led by His Spirit. 

It’s a return to the simple, direct relationship with YAH that Messiah modeled and fulfilled.

YAH desires worship in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). Truth doesn’t need fables or added symbols; it stands strong on its own. 

What’s more important to pass on to our children: man-made stories, or the deep, eternal meaning of YAH’s deliverance through His Son?

This season, I’m humbly choosing to honor the biblical Passover and resurrection as Scripture presents it. It’s been life-changing for me, and I pray it encourages you to search the Word for yourself.

What a beautiful bridge between the Old and Renewed Covenant!

Much love, and may we all grow closer to YAH’s truth. 🌿

Oh Watch Therefore



The Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matt 25:1-13) 

Yahshua/Jesus tells a story of ten maidens waiting for the Bridegroom to arrive for the wedding feast. 

Five were wise, they brought extra oil for their lamps. Five were foolish, they didn’t prepare.

The Bridegroom is Yahshua the Messiah, returning unexpectedly.

The ten virgins/maidens are those (you and me/us)  professing faith, waiting for His coming. (believers, a remnant of Israel; not the bride herself).

Lamps are light of the Torah / Word of Elohim (Psalm 119:105 – “Your word is a lamp to my feet”).

Oil is the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), the anointing that keeps our light burning strong through the long wait.

The delay is the time between Yahshua’s first coming and His return; we all grow weary, but preparation matters!

Behold, the Bridegroom comes!” (Echoes the Shofar of Yom Teruah, signaling resurrection & ingathering)

The wedding feast is the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and only the ready enter; the door shuts forever.

The foolish begged for oil, but you can’t borrow someone else’s relationship with the Ruach. While they went to buy, (it also cannot be bought) the Bridegroom came and the wise went in, and the door was shut.

Yahshua’s words hit hard: “I do not know you.” 

We need a genuine, Spirit-filled walk.

“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him. Elohim is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.”

TS2009 (Yoḥanan/John 4:23–24) 

“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Adam comes.” (Matt. 25:13 TS2009)

Be filled with the Ruach daily. Walk in Torah obedience. Stay alert! 

The Bridegroom is coming…will your lamp still be burning bright?

Choose Life


 Exo 20:5 – יהוה warns against idolatry: ‘I am a jealous Ěl, visiting (פָּקַד / pâqad) the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the 3rd & 4th generations of those who hate Me.’

‘Visiting’ isn’t just punishment…it means to oversee, care for, attend to, even search out. 


YAH isn’t distant; He’s zealous for us, visiting to see if we’ve awakened to the crookedness! He cares, calls, and confronts so we can repent and break the cycle.


Ezekiel 18 makes it clear: He doesn’t punish kids for parents’ sins if they turn to righteousness. Each stands on their own choices.

It’s a wake-up call against idolatry… but also an invitation to restoration and LIFE 🙌🕊️

Calendar Review

    A story of dedication and love for YAH 🕊️

In the quiet hills of a midwestern town, there lives a man named Brother Jackie Smith, a soul whose very presence radiated the gentle light of kindness and thoughtfulness. He is a Yahuah-fearing man, one who walks humbly in the shadow of the Almighty, his heart attuned to the whispers of divine wisdom.

Each day in quiet communion, poring over ancient scrolls and sacred texts, his eyes kindled with the fire of discovery. Brother Jackie believes that knowledge is not a treasure to be hoarded but a gift to be shared freely with his brothers and sisters in faith.

What sets Brother Jackie apart is his unwavering dedication to uncovering the rhythms of creation as ordained by Yahuah. He had long sensed a disconnect in the world’s hurried calendars, a misalignment with the heavenly order. Driven by a deep reverence, he devoted countless prayerful hours to crafting a calendar that mirrored the divine blueprint.

This is no ordinary timekeeper; it is the Zadok Calendar, drawn meticulously from the profound insights of the Book of Jubilees, the visions of Enoch, the priestly traditions of Zadok, the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS), and the Luminary Priestly Calendar. With careful notation, he has included the priestly appointments, ensuring each cycle honored the sacred duties of service in Yahuah’s temple.

But Brother Jackie’s vision extends beyond the earthly; he wove in the celestial wonders of the Mazzaroth, the starry constellations that tell stories of redemption and prophecy, because the heavens themselves are Yahuah’s storyboard.

Accompanying the calendar is a thoughtful legend, a key that references supporting scriptures and historical echoes, illuminating how these elements intertwine like threads in a divine tapestry.

It is, in truth, Yahuah’s timepiece…a wondrous instrument that synchronizes the soul with the Creator’s eternal clock.

This calendar is more than a mere record of days; it is an educational masterpiece, laying out Yahuah’s Feasts and appointed times with clarity and reverence. From the solemn observance of Passover to the joyous trumpets of Yom Teruah (Day of Trumpets), to Yom Kippur, to the dwelling in booths during Tabernacles/Sukkot, each moed (appointed time), as well as the Festivals of Oil, Wood, and Wine, marked not just by dates but by their deeper referenced spiritual significance.

Brother Jackie’s work reveals how these holy convocations align with the solar cycles, the priestly courses, and the Mazzaroth’s guiding lights, offering a roadmap to live in harmony with Yahuah’s will.

Through this labor of love, Brother Jackie brings our community closer to our Heavenly Father. The calendar unveils layers of Yahuah’s plan for the kingdom to come… a future of restoration, where the righteous would dwell in eternal light. It will keep hearts focused amid the chaos of the world, reminding all who follow it that time is not random but purposeful; a canvas for applying His Word. By syncing daily life with these divine appointments, believers will find a profound unity: scripture and season, prophecy and practice, all coming together in a beautiful symphony.

Without Brother Jackie’s selfless effort, his kindness in sharing, his thoughtfulness in synthesis, his fear of YAH guiding every note, such clarity might have remained hidden.

Today, those who hold his calendar walk with greater confidence, their steps aligned with the stars and the Spirit. We are profoundly grateful for this special brother, whose work echoes the call to watch and pray, drawing us ever nearer to the throne of grace.

In closing:

Brother Jackie Smith’s Zadok Calendar is a labor of love that synchronizes the soul with Yahuah’s eternal clock. This meticulously crafted calendar is based on the Book of Jubilees, Enoch, Zadok’s priestly traditions, and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Key Features:

• Aligns with heavenly order and solar cycles

• Includes priestly appointments and Mazzaroth constellations

• Highlights Yahuah’s Feasts and appointed times

• Offers a roadmap to live in harmony with Yahuah’s will

                   A Reflection of Yahuah’s Heart

Brother Jackie’s work reveals Yahuah’s plan for the kingdom to come, reminding us that time is purposeful and not random. By syncing daily life with these divine appointments, believers find unity in scripture, season, prophecy, and practice.

                             A Labor of Love

We’re grateful for Brother Jackie’s selfless effort, kindness, and thoughtfulness. His calendar draws us nearer to the throne of grace, reflecting Yahuah’s faithfulness and kindness.

HalleluYAH 🙌 🙏🕊️
