Beauty and the Bands

THE GREATEST ATROCITY DONE TO MANKIND

Zechariah Chapter 11:
THE TWO STAVES IDENTIFIED
AS  BEAUTY AND THE BANDS

by Betty Rhodes


This section on ‘beauty and the bands’ pertain to the eleventh chapter in the book of Zechariah. Exact dating for the book of Zechariah, according to biblical scholars, was somewhere around 520 BCE. This could very well be, but perhaps this date was assigned to the chapter because scholars supposed that the ‘beauty and the bands’ scenario was referring to the capture and collapse of the southern kingdom of Judah. Keep in mind that the final capture of the kingdom of Judah by Babylon occurred in 586 BCE, which would be 66 years prior to the writing of chapter eleven, according to the 520 BCE timeframe.

Survivors from the tribe of Judah, who were permitted to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple, having spent 70 years in Babylonian captivity, would have returned around 516 BCE – a few years after the date Zachariah wrote this book. The tribal members of returning Judah remained in Jerusalem and Palestine area until about 68-70 CE when, at that time, Rome destroyed this second Temple called Herod’s Temple. After Babylon, the Jews became a mixed lot, some were freed captives for certain, but many were Gentiles that moved into the area after Judah was captured seventy years earlier. This is always the pattern, wherever Israelites have lived, built up to city-status the area; they then vacate for one reason or the other, local Gentiles nearly always move in and claim the territory. Therefore, during the time of Jesus, the people claiming to be Jews, from the tribe of Judah, could barely be identified as actual tribal members, and for this reason, we read in Revelation 2:9 – “I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan”. This is a pretty strong statement, but later on in this book, we will explain why this was the case.

BEAUTY: #5278 no`am [from #5276] - beauty, pleasantness, kindness, delightfulness, favorable, symbolic name of one of two staves). #5276 na`em - pleasant, sweet, beauty, delight, lovely, ALSO; rom na'em; agreeableness, i.e. delightful, suitableness, splendor, graceful, beauty, pleasant(-ness). To be agreeable (literally or figuratively), pass in beauty, to be a delightful, be pleasant, be sweet.

The 'BEAUTY' group was a pleasant and delightful people - these are the Israelites, descendants of Jacob.
 

The northern Israelites, after their release from Assyria, were already venturing northward, roaming across Western Europe and into the northern Isles. Jeremiah had escorted the remnant of Judah’s kingdom that had not been taken into Babylonian captivity, to a new homeland unknown by their ancestors. This ‘planting’ by Jeremiah took place in 557 BCE.

Scholars also tell us that Zechariah's chapters 9-14 contain prophecy for the future of all Israel, and are considered ‘Messianic’ prophecies - either literal or spiritual in meaning. After examining the context of the eleventh chapter, it appeared as no Messianic blessing, but instead, chapter eleven is quite the opposite - it tells of a curse upon the people of Israel - instituted by YHWH. Keep in mind the GOOD – EVIL CHART at the beginning of this book when reading this chapter, and keep in mind the fact that Satan was going to and fro upon the Earth deceiving people and all the while being true to his malefic nature.

The Two Staves you will read about represent two groups of people, referred to as, 'Beauty and Bands'. Beauty represents a group of pleasant and goodly people, who YHWH ultimately puts at the mercy of Bands - the destroyers. Notice how these two groups represent the age-old GOOD-EVIL descriptions.


BANDS: #2254 chabal - The destroyed, destroyers, bands [or armies], brought forth, corrupt, deals corruptly, offends, spoils, travaileth, withholden; to bind, to take a pledge, lay to pledge, to hold by a pledge, take in pledge, hold in pledge, to be ruined,  to destroy, ruin,  to be ruined, be broken. To bring forth, travail, to writhe, twist, and travail.

The ‘BANDS’ group had the opposite characteristics of the ‘beauty’ group. This group represents the enemy of the Israelites.
There are 8 players or groups in chapter eleven in the book of Zechariah:
Satan -posing as YHWH, Zechariah, the High Cedar, other Shepherds, the Flock, Beauty, Bands, New Shepherd
WHITE
FRUITFUL
LEADERS
KILLED

Many atrocities are contemplated by YHWH, which he will do to these two groups of people. The most despicable acts that he did to the shepherds of their flock has for the most part, been programmed as benign in the minds of Beauty - as if it never existed. Were the brutal murders, horrific acts of deceivement, brainwashing, mind control, and other dastardly devastation targeted at the beloved shepherds; and consequently to Beauty and Bands, the conspired intent of Satan - perhaps posing as one of the Elohiym? This was most definitely not the motivation of a Good and Wonderful Great Spirit Creator, nor was it the fruit of kind and loving Gods. If a 'god' acts evil - he is evil. Evil is as evil does.

There are 8 players or groups in chapter eleven of the book of Zechariah:

1)      Satan - posing as YHWH, 2) Zechariah, 3) the High Cedar, 4) other Shepherds, 5) the Flock, 6) Beauty, 7) Bands, 8) New Shepherd.

Verses 1 - 2: From the King James Bible:

1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.

 Know that Lebanon refers to a 'white' summit. There is a mountain range in Palestine with high peaks covered with snow that were called the Mts. of Lebanon, but the name used here is a metaphor to indicate an important white leader, not referring to a mountain top. Just as Cedars is not referring to actual trees, but influential people. YHWH is speaking through Zechariah the Old Testament prophet, about the future curses he will bestow on the white, fruitful, good, and pleasant people - the tribes of Israel. Keep in mind while reading this chapter, the Hebrew people were favored among the Elohiym; and as descendants of the Elohiym, the Israelites had many earthly enemies besides Satan. YHWH had also treated the Israelites very badly prior to 520 BCE, and it is strange that more Bible thumping people have not noticed the evil in the heart and actions of this elusive 'Lord' they called YHWH.

The wrath of YHWH will in Israel's future, murder a most important shepherd who has drawn quite a large group of followers among the “good white fruitful pleasant people”, here called BEAUTY. The devouring of this shepherd, and his tall ‘cedars’ is NOT referring to Judah’s king and sons, as you will see in later verses. The king of Judah and his male family and entourage had already been captured and or killed nearly 70 years earlier than the writing of this chapter. YHWH intends to murder a beloved shepherd and kill all his prominent leaders – sometime after 520 BCE.

2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage [lofty] is come down.

In the second verse, the most significant of the forest is to be hewed down. The forest [people of in the multitudes of followers] howls because their noble cedar is destroyed, this act causes great pain and agony. The oaks of Bashan [#1316, means the strong 'fruitful' ones]. The people of the vintage [lofty ones] have been taken down. By the end of the second verse, all the significant shepherds are cut off. The leading shepherds over these 'white fruitful' people, called Beauty, are a huge threat to YHWH for some reason. He says, 'open the doors to your city, WHITE FRUITFUL people, i.e. Israelites; so I can pour my most disgusting wrath down upon your beloved shepherds. Ask yourself this question - why would a wonderful good heavenly father want to destroy his own people? Answer – he would not, but Satan would love to destroy them all if he could get away with it. This certainly does not sound like a wonderful good GOD speaking here - this is purely satanic in nature!

FRUITFUL   DESCENDANTS
WHITE
ISRAELITES

3 There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

 Verse 3: There is a voice of great grief coming from the leaders, i.e. disciples for their most beloved shepherd is slain. A voice like thunder is heard from the lion's [Judah’s] pride [SEED]. Identified as YHWH [who is NOT the Father of Jesus], HEARS JESUS CRYING OUT. [NOTE: JORDON means DESCENDING and this verse is not referring to the Jordan River, or the state of Jordan, but rather, it refers to DESCENDANTS. The pride [child] of Judah has been slain. YHWH truly hated this great shepherd.

4 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;

Verse 4: Thus saith YHWH - Tend to the flock of these slaughtered leaders. After the mighty shepherds are slain, someone needs to tend this lost flock - who will it be? YHWH finds someone, and it does not look good from here on out folks. We have a curse going forth from this Lord identified as YHWH, who intends to murder Jesus and all of his apostles, and then to replace their leadership with a new 'shepherd' that proves to be just as brutal as this malefic entity. I am getting ahead of myself.

5 Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.

Verse 5: The possessors of, is ROME- the power that had political rule over the Israelite descendants. Rome murders many and takes over the surviving flock; furthermore, they do not hold themselves guilty for doing so. They also sell the souls and bodies of the innocent ones to other entities, saying to themselves, blessed be YHWH, for we have much control and power now - we are rich. The ROMANS and the YHWH-controlled BANDS have no remorse or pity on the people for what they have done to the beloved shepherds and his disciples. Unbelievably, the minds and souls of the fruitful descendants of the Israelite people were bought and sold to evil powers and have been 'lost' to their identity in many ways. Not only lost physically - but lost mentally and spiritually as well, and it was SATAN who caused them to be lost - through his evil control and enticement.

6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.

Verse 6: YHWH will not pity the inhabitants of the land - and he does not care who they are - he is one bloodthirsty creature. YHWH will deliver these people into the hand of neighboring kings [the Romans] who shall smite them and Jerusalem; and YHWH will not deliver them, nor will he help them one iota. With openly confessed brutality such as this - who needs enemies? NOTE: It was not because this flock - beauty was being bad or immoral, on the contrary. YHWH wanted these people to suffer he wanted them destroyed. Why? YHWH knew there would be a Messiah who would come from this group of people that would have the authority to take away his power. YHWH did everything in his power to keep this from happening – he even tried to bribe the good shepherd, without success. OK, I am getting ahead of myself again here.

7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.

Verse 7: YHWH will 'feed' - which is to say that he will replace what the beloved shepherd gave the people for something of his own choosing. He will force-feed the poor WEAK AND AFFLICTED ISRAELITES - referring to the fruitful descendants who have lost their shepherds. YHWH then took TWO STAVES, which represents TWO GROUPS of people; the one is called Beauty [PLEASANT ONES], and the other called Bands [THE DESTROYERS]; and he fed [gave a pagan Babylonian religion] to the flock.

8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

Verse 8: Three shepherds, which YHWH cuts off in one month and remarks that he absolutely hated them, and they hated this evil entity as well. These first three important cedars, who were slain, was probably John the Baptist, Jesus, and James. NOTE: A list of these murdered shepherds can be found at the bottom of this page.

9 Then said I, I will not feed you: those that dieth, let it die; and those that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.

Verse 9: Then said YHWH, I will not help you, so whomever dies - let them die; and who is to be cut off, let them be cut off; and let the rest of the people [the followers of Jesus] get help from wherever they can. Because YHWH hated the beloved shepherds there must have been an extremely important reason for all the evil, he did to the Israelites, and to the shepherds. More than likely, he would lose control if the good shepherds had succeeded at that time.

REMEMBER THIS: To identify good vs. evil - it is simple – refer to the Good-Evil Chart at the beginning of this book. Make no covenants with the devil - rebuke all covenants that have been made with the devil.

Then YHWH, or this satanic entity, took TWO STAVES

STAVE: #4731 maqqel {mak-kale}; or (fem.) maqq@lah {mak-kel-aw'} from an unused root meaning to germinate or grow; suggesting that the stick comes to life even long after it has been plucked from the tree; a rod, staff, stave, stick, or wand; OR an idea or suggestion that grows, buds, germinates, in the minds of weakened individuals.

The 'STAVES' are something that grows exceedingly large and fruitful - these are the total sum of Israelites. YHWH ’took’ the staves, which indicates that they were not really his, but he manipulates them. A rod or staff indicates royal authority or position - the Israelites were descendants of the Elohiym - having royal blood of the godhead.

And YHWH, or this other entity, took  TWO STAVES

STAVE: #4731 maqqel {mak-kale}; or (fem.) maqq@lah {mak-kel-aw'} from an unused root meaning to germinate or grow; suggesting that the stick comes to life even long after it has been plucked from the tree; a rod, staff, stave, stick, or wand; OR an idea or suggestion that grows, buds, germinates, in the minds of weakened individuals.

The 'STAVES' are something that grows exceedingly large and fruitful - these are the total sum of Israelites. YHWH  'took' the staves, which indicates that they weren't really his, but he manipulates them. A rod or staff indicates royal authority or position - the Israelites were descendants of the Elohiym - having royal blood of the godhead.

PLEASANT
GRACE
FAVORABLE
AGREEABLE
            10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant, which I had made with all the people.

Verse 10: And 'YHWH' took the group called Beauty [THE PLEASANT ONES] and cut them asunder that he might break the covenant that he had made regarding these people [this covenant is found in the book of Job. Satan promises not to kill the people]. Satan promised to spare their lives but was given free reign over them - to see what they would do. SATAN broke this covenant. The northern tribes were 'lost' and scattered from their original homeland - Satan had cut them off by his own hand - not the work of the Holy Ghost or the original Elohiym.

11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.

Verse 11: YHWH breaks a covenant when he murdered the mighty 'cedars of Lebanon’, but had also broken it when all the royal family of Judah was murdered during the time of Babylonian capture - thus attempting to prevent the Messiah from taking over the throne of David. The afflicted of the flock [those that waited upon YHWH  - who were thought to be Jews of the day, but Jesus says they were the children of the Devil,  called Bands in this chapter, knew that it was the ACT of YHWH to have slain these shepherds, for the Jews did not recognize Jesus as their 'King', or as the Messiah. These Jews were 'duped' followers of YHWH after coming out of Babylon. The Jews figured YHWH had rid the world of do-gooder shepherds who had no business taking such a lofty position over their preconceived position. YHWH, who is actually Satan, murdered Jesus and ALL his disciples, even John.
BEAUTY: #5278 no`am [from #5276] - beauty, pleasantness, kindness, delightfulness, favorable, symbolic name of one of two staves).  #5276 na`em - pleasant, sweet, beauty, delight, lovely, ALSO; rom na'em; agreeableness, i.e. delightful, suitableness, splendor or graceful, beauty, pleasant(-ness). To be agreeable (literally or figuratively), pass in beauty, to be a delight, be pleasant, be sweet.

The 'BEAUTY' group was a pleasant, desirable, and delightful people - these are the northern Israelites.

DESTROYERS
EVIL
CORRUPT
WITHHOLDS

BANDS: #2254 chabal - The destroyed, destroyers, bands [or armies], brought forth, corrupt, deals corruptly, offends, spoils, travaileth, withholden; to bind, to take a pledge, lay to pledge, to hold by a pledge, take in pledge, hold in pledge, to be ruined,  to destroy, ruin,  to be ruined, be broken. to bring forth, travail, to writhe, twist, travail.  #2256: chebel or chebel - sorrows, cord, line, coast, portion, region, ropes, company, pangs, bands, country, destruction, pain, snare, tacklings, a cord, rope, territory, band, company, a rope, cord, a measuring-cord or line; a measured portion, lot, part, region, a band or company, pain, sorrow, travail, pangs or pains of travail, sorrows,  union, destruction.

'BANDS' represents a sorrowful group of people that, because they revered and listened to YHWH, caused ruination to the beloved shepherds - the Bands were the Jews of the day.

12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
YHWH said, If ye think good of what I have done - murdering this beloved shepherd that has so many followers of the pleasant ones; give me a price, and if not, keep your darned money. Therefore, the Jews determined YHWH's price - for slaying Jesus, was to be thirty pieces of silver, which is where Judas comes in:

Satan entered into him [Judas] (John 13:27), and Judas betrayed Jesus (18:3). Afterwards Judas confessed his sin with an exceedingly bitter cry, and cast the money he had received as the wages [30 pieces of silver] down on the floor of the sanctuary, and departed and went out and hanged himself. And the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, It is not lawful to put this money into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.  And they took counsel, and bought with the silver pieces a plot in potter's field, to bury Judas. Therefore, Potter's field was called, the field of blood, unto this day. (Matt. 27:5-8).
The reason Judas cried out bitterly before he took his life was because he only realized what he had done after Satan [the devil] had left him. Afterall, Satan was through with him at this point and knew Judas would end his own life.

13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was priced at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

Verse 13: And YHWH said unto Zechariah, Give the silver pieces to the potter - the fair price that I was paid. Therefore, the thirty pieces of silver was taken to the potter [cemetery owners], which was in the house of YHWH, and placed it there. The silver pieces were given to the house of YHWH and used to buy a cemetery plot to bury Judas, the instrument that Satan used for his dirty work. The cemetery, known as Potter's Field, where they buried the poor and unclaimed bodies, was owned by the 'house of YHWH'. I will explain to you why the 2nd temple was the house of Satan later in this book.

14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

Verse 14: For some reason, the unity of Israel was hard for YHWH/Satan to deal with as he was constantly splitting them up and delivering them into the hands of their enemies. Satan knew that a house divided does not stand as strong. YHWH cut asunder the other staff called Bands that he might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. YHWH has the Romans destroy Jerusalem in the year, 70 CE, which was the home of Bands - the sorrowful ones. YHWH also uses BANDS [the Jews] to tear down the shepherd of the BEAUTY group, and they were instrumental in killing the disciples - thereby creating much long-lived friction and hatred between the two groups – the Israelites and the people called, Jews.

15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

Verse 15 - 17: YHWH said unto Zechariah, by using the instruments [beliefs, ways, traditions, apostasy] of a foolish [foolish is paganism – brought from Babylon by the Jews] 'shepherd', I will raise up a new and different shepherd [one of YHWH’s choosing] in the land, who will NOT hearken or cater to those that are cut off [the Israelites]. Nor will my new shepherd pamper the Pleasant Ones, nor heal that which is broken or wrong between Judah and the Israelites. Nor will my new shepherd feed [TEACH RIGHTEOUSNESS] to the flock. THIS 'NEW' SHEPHERD WILL NOT GIVE A DARN ABOUT THE SOULS OF THE ISRAELITES. Instead, YHWH's new shepherd will eat the flesh of the fat [Joseph], and tear the claws [of the lion -Judah] into pieces, so these people can no longer carry on for righteousness sake. THIS NEW FOOLISH SHEPHERD SHALL DESTROY AND IGNORE THE VOICES OF ITS VICTIMS AND HAS BUT ONE AGENDA - TO RUIN THE PLEASANT ONES AND TO DESTROY THE BANDS.
The rest of the beloved leaders over the flock, i.e. disciples of Jesus, are also brought down - killed - murdered in a most horrendous manner - by the power of YHWH, who would surely appear to be Satan, the prince of darkness.

Woe to the unworthy [new] shepherd [RELIGIOUS LEADERS] under YHWH's command that leaves the flock [followers] to their own devices, for the sword [of death] shall be upon that shepherd's shoulders. His followers shall be clean dried up - gone astray - off limits to the shepherd; and the right eye of the shepherd shall be utterly darkened - so that he does not receive favor or communication with YHWH any longer. Verse 17 is referring to YHWH's new shepherds in his house/church, which comes out of Rome. All YHWH's ministers are to allow no soul to be lost from their control - and if careless shepherds allow this to happen - they will lose their position over their flock, lose favor with YHWH, and may be killed. Do we need remind you of the atrocities of the ‘unholy’ Roman Empire?


The Beloved Messiah of the goodly ones is now killed, along with his disciples. All truth is cut off and the flock is taken over by satanic forces that mandate a Babylonian pagan religion. There came about a great cover-up and deception at the control of this satanic force of evil, which would last throughout the entire Age of Pisces.

The Messiah, coming out of Israel, has been prevented and delayed because of Satan's control and grip over the people - which we are allowing - almost gleefully. We have the power as a united force, to liberate ourselves - cast off Satan's grip. How? By realizing the truth, knowing good from evil - as simple as it sounds. We are good people - we do not behave in a wicked brutal manner - why would we accept a 'god' that acts so wickedly – and call him a God? This YHWH - or Satan posing as a Lord, is not our Creator!! Get over it people - wise up.

Wasn't Jesus himself, tempted and taunted by the Devil? Judas fell under the spell and control of the Devil and betrayed Jesus, which resulted in both of their deaths? Do you think the rest of the flock are ‘off limits’ to the wiles of Satan? YHWH even says in Zachariah chapter eleven, that he was bringing in pagan religions to replace the good shepherd’s words. How much simpler can get?

Furthermore, consider John 8:44 - "Ye [speaking of the Jews] are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father [meaning YHWH - SATAN] ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Mark 8:33 - [But when Jesus had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men." Rome built their church upon the rock they called Peter - it was this of which Jesus referred - as he knew.

Job 2:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Job 1:12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he [Job] has is in your power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. Job 2:6 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.  Job could also represent all of Israel.

Mark 8:33 - [But when Jesus had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that be of men." Rome built their church upon the rock they called Peter - it was this of which Jesus referred - as Jesus knew very well what was to happen – Peter sold out to YHWH – Satan.

Job 2:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, from whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Job 1:12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he [Job] has is in your power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. Job 2:6 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. Job could also represent all of Israel.

Truth seeking is an on-going process so there will always be improvements being made. Research is not cut and dried; it is a constant reproving and improving process. I will not interpret ancient writings with any religion favored - whether it be Christian, Judaism, Muslim, or any other religion, unless the Spirit leads me there without any doubt, backed up with good old common sense and logic. The very work of the devil can be used to stab him in the heart. I write only as the Holy Ghost guides me! Folks can take it or leave it! Read my work asking for guidance from the Great Spirit Creator, or find another book that tells you what you want to hear. I write my articles because that is what I am here to do and consider myself a sincere truth seeker. If what I write bothers anyone to any great extent, it is probably because they see truth in what I write and want it suppressed because truth will upset their apple cart.

GET THEE SATAN TO THE ETERNAL FIRES AND LEAVE US ALONE! WE DO NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR AUTHORITY - WE CAST YOU OFF - WE REBUKE YOU!

Spoken on behalf of all the Pleasant Ones. Spiritual Unity between Judah and Ephraim can only happen when both have denounced Satan [YHWH]. Those who have not denounced YHWH are not of the group called ‘Beauty’, but are from the group called ‘Bands’.

'Know before whom you stand - i.e. who you pay allegiance to'.


BELOW IS THE LIST OF MIGHTY CEDARS AND SHEPHERDS THAT WERE CUT DOWN BY YHWH, or this other entity,

The deaths of the Apostles, i.e. Disciples, represented in chapter eleven of Zechariah, as the 'mighty cedars' and the shepherds.


  • Jesus crucified at the hand of Romans after the betrayal of Judas.
  • John the Baptist was beheaded.
  • Peter, the son of John, crucified head downward by the Romans.
  • James, who was known as the brother of Jesus, the son of Joseph and Mary, the author of the Epistle of James, known as James the Just, not an apostle but an evangelist. The Jews stoned James, but this was stopped and to finish the task of killing him he was further struck with a club until he died.
  • Matthew (who was called Levi, was an apostle - killed by a spear.
  • Paul (formerly called Saul, an Apostle outside of the number of twelve, was from the tribe of Benjamin. Paul was beheaded at Rome by the Romans.
  • Luke, an apostle, physician and an evangelist. Luke was crucified on an olive-tree.
  • Mark the disciple, and interpreter of Peter, was dragged throughout the city of Alexandria for two days and then burned to death. This was a brutally bloody ordeal – a most horrifying death.
  • John the apostle, the son of Zebedee, a cousin of Jesus, and a brother of James the elder. It is said that John died of old age.

Quite possibly, the most beloved disciple of Jesus, was actually Mary Magdalene. Mary Magdalene was undoubtedly the wife of Jesus and was probably the author of the gospel of John and the book of Revelation. She was instrumental in founding the first 'church' after the death of Jesus, called the Johannine Community. Question: why do you suppose this most beloved disciple of Jesus, supposedly John, was not slaughtered along with all the other male disciples, but instead was sent in exile to the Isle of Patmos? If indeed this most beloved disciple of Jesus were in fact, John, he would have been the first one killed. Answer: This 'John' was actually Mary Magdalene and they abstained from killing the woman, maybe because she was pregnant, or because she was a woman. If this is true, they 'killed' her in a more effective way - by saying she was a whore bitch and stealing what she had written and passed it off as the gospel of 'John'. Did Leonardo DeVinci have this all figured out? Well, he was nobody's dummy. Any one of you could have figured it too, if not for your own stigmas attached to the role of women. Get over it – send the devil packing.

The snake in old ART may represent DNA - from the holy chalice - womb. The eagle may actually represent Mary and Jesus’ child and not actually an eagle - just symbolically. In addition, why is it that Catholics worship Mary, the mother of Jesus, more than they do Jesus? Does the Vatican know something more, while we are kept in the dark? Perhaps it was the wife of Jesus who was originally revered for she was the woman that gave birth to Jesus’ children.
