King Solomon ruled Isra’el for 40 years living in peace with foreign nations. Solomon built the first Temple for Adonai on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, the mountain where Abraham offered his son Isaac centuries earlier. The Temple took seven years to build. Solomon received help from surrounding nations’ resources, especially Lebanon known for its great cedars. When the Temple was completed, King Solomon dedicated it to Adonai with a great time of celebration with music, instruments, and the priesthood.

Lord of the Fly – Ba’al-zibbul
Sometimes Ba’alzebul and the ‘Shining One’ have been interchangeable names for the Adversary in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, they are not the same entity within the demonic hierarchy. Ba’alzebub was a prince of the seraphim or ‘burning ones’ that surrounded the throne of Adonai. He was one of the first three angels to fall from heaven, along with the Shining One and Leviathan. He works as the ‘chief of staff’ for The Adversary and presides over the Order of the Fly.
Revelation Chapter 22 – The Promise of Messiah
The messenger of Yeshua states that those who ‘obey’ the words in this prophetic book will be ‘blessed.’ In Hebrew, the word for ‘obey’ is shamar or ‘guard’ and means to ‘watch, keep, and preserve.’ Those who guard, keep, and preserve the words in Revelation will be blessed. Whoever doesn’t guard, obey, and protect this prophecy –– by adding to or removing from –– will lose their share in the Etz Chayil and their home in the New Jerusalem.
Revelation Chapter 19 – A Wedding and a War
The rider on this white horse is the same rider from Revelation chapter 6 that went out to conquest the nations (Zechariah 14:3). When the Conqueror left, he wore one crown; when he returns, he has many crowns. The rider on the white horse is the Lion of Y’hudah, the Warrior King returning wearing the royal crowns from conquering the nations’ kings. His eyes burn like fiery flames; he wears a robe soaked in blood. The blood is not Yeshua’s blood; it is the blood of the enemies of Adonai.
