Haughty Spirit Evolution
Nehemiah 13:3 Now it came to pass, when they had “heard” the “law” that they “separated” from Yisrael “all” the mixed multitude ereb spelled Ayin~Resh~Bet. I find this passage riveting. Bera means “son of evil” spelled Bet~Resh~ Ayin shares identical “letters” with ereb Ayin~Resh~Bet. This denotes the mixed multitude were “evil sons” of haughty spirit . Yisrael is a “peculiarly ” clean heart people that have been Torah water “sprinkled”. (Psalms 73:1 Truly, G-d “good” to Yisrael, even to “such” as are of a “clean” heart. Ezekiel 36:25 Then I will sprinkle “clean” water on you, and ye shall be clean: from all your “filthiness” and from all your “idols” will I cleanse you. Torah also teaches that Hashem will perform a “new” heart & Spirit transplant. Ezekiel 36:26 A “new” heart also will I give you, and a “new” Spirit will I put “within” you: I will take away the “stony” heart out of your “flesh”, and I will give you and “heart” of flesh. Ezekiel 36:37 I will put My Spirit “within” you and “cause” you to “walk” in MY “statues” and ye shall “keep” My “judgments”. In Nehemiah 13:3 afore mentioned when Yisrael (clean heart people) “heard” [shama Verb meaning to listen consent,perceive,obey] the “law” Torah, Yisrael (clean heart ) “separated” from “all” the mixed multitude. Numbers 11:4 And the “mixed” multitude that was “among” them fell a “lusting”. And the children of Yisrael “wept” again, and said, Who shall give us “flesh” to eat? This oracle is astonishing indeed. The word for mixed multitude is “acpcuph” means “promiscuous” assemblage,rabble,scoundrel Aleph~Samek~Pei~Samek~Pei . Once again “clean” and “unclean” can’t comfortably coexist together. Chaos, confusion, and “spiritual ” contamination will “always” permeate. So what’s the “solution” to all this haughty spirit evolution in the world today? Shalom
Answers
The only antidote to the powers of darkness and confusion are to focus on the Torah and what it is that God demands from us. The more pure spirituality that we are able to unveil in this physical world the less darkness there will be. The clearer our recognition of God the less confusion there will be. There is no other alternative than to confront impurity with purity and to confront the world of godlessness with God’s Torah.
