In history, we read about men who, that if it were not from a supernatural intervention, would-be rulers of the world today. These men were controlled and manipulated by an evil spirit outside the realm of the natural.

In Scripture, we see this at the very beginning of men kind: 

Genesis 3:1 “1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any wild animal which Adonai, God, had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You are not to eat from any tree in the garden?’” CJB

These men’s purpose was to eliminate and destroy people to elevate their fame. 

Their common denominator was deception: an evil enterprise in which one day, they, themselves would fall prey to and be destroyed and annihilated.

Psalms 7:14-16 “⁽¹⁴⁾ Look how the wicked is pregnant with evil; he conceives trouble, gives birth to lies. ^16 (15) He makes a pit, digs it deep, and falls into the hole he made. ^17 (16) His mischief will return onto his own head; his violence will recoil onto his own skull.” CJB

In their minds, advancing evil was their primary agenda because the spirit they were carrying fueled on it. 

These men’s thoughts were the opposite of love and servitude; they were their own enemy.

John 10:10 “10 The thief comes only in order to steal, kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, life in its fullest measure.” (CJB)

If it were not from intervention from a higher being, the world would not be as such today. It would have destroyed itself long ago without a trace or any history ever recorded. Men and women would have disappeared and forgotten, just as the new Pharaoh forgot about the existence of Joseph.

Exodus 1:8 “8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt. He knew nothing about Yosef.” (CJB)

These men and women made it their business to oppress and enslave people so that they could retain their delusional power.

Think about this:

Where is Joseph Stalin? (1878-1953)

Dictator of the Soviet Union, who killed over 20 million people that opposed him. Not included in this number are the many German men and women who he murdered for insurrection or plot. Why would you think a person like him received the Noble Peace Prize in 1945 and 1948? He died of a stroke in 1953. He is dead, and his sins went with him. He stood for death, not life.

Where is Heinrich Himmler? (1900-1945)

Head of the S.S. secret service and responsible for killing more than 6 million Jews. He organized their destruction and committed horrendous acts against the Jew and any other group going against his hate and plot. He committed suicide. He is dead, and his sins went with him. What positive humanitarian change did he make? NONE.

Where is Idi Amin? (1952-2003)

He became President of Uganda, and under his authority as a dictator, he killed more than half a million people and anyone who came against him. His wanting for power and money led him to become a mass murderer of his own people.

Where are the Praetorian Guards? 

They were the guards who became popular in the Roman Empire. They were like bodyguards to the Emperors; however, the power and desire for fame and money elevated them to become mass murderers of the very ones they were protecting. They killed many Emperors for bribe money, among those murdered was Caligula. They became so corrupt that they would auction the emperorship. They would kill anyone in their path. The command post would even merge with other jobs to the point that even generals of the command became Emperors.  

Where are they now? Dead and gone with them, their sin, waiting for punishment.

Where is Athaliah? (Around 897 B.C.)

Daughter of King Ahab and Jezebel, wife of Jehoram King of Judah, mother of Ahaziah. When her son died, she wanted to attain the throne by killing all the royal family of the house of Judah. However, Jehosheba, Ahaziah’s sister, hid Joash, son of Ahaziah, from the mass murder committed by Athaliah. (2 Chronicles 22:10-12, CJB)

Later, when the child was old enough to become king, he was anointed, and the royal crown placed on him. Athaliah cried out, “Treason! Treason!” She was then taken out of the palace grounds and put to death. She is dead and her violence and sins with her. (2 Chronicles 23:12-15, CJB)

Where is Herod Antipas, Herodias, and Salome? (Matthew 14:6-11, Luke 3:1, Mark 6:19:20, Luke 3:19-20, CJB)

King Herod, tetrarch of Galilee married Herodias, wife of his half-brother Philip and the daughter of his half-brother Aristobulus making Herodias Herod’s niece, and Salome, daughter of Herodias, all conspired to kill John the Baptist. John was put in prison and beheaded because he told the truth about their relationships. Herodias had a grudge against John and had her daughter Salome danced for Herod and asked for John the Baptist’s head. They are all dead. Dead in their sins.

Where is Haman? Around 485 BC Esther 3:1, 

Haman was the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, a descendant of the Amalekites who God told Saul to destroy, but he failed to do so by disobeying God’s command. He was second in command under King Ahasuerus or Xerxes and also the man in the book of Esther who wanted to destroy and assassinate all the Jewish people just because he hated one Jew in particular, Mordecai, who did not bow down to him. Haman schemed to kill them by lying to the king about the dealings of the Jews who were minding their own business. In the end, he hanged for his plots. He is dead and his sins with him.

All these men and women had one thing in common, selfish, self-centered, and egotistic. They cared for on one but themselves, fame, and money. They dug their graves. They represent death and calamity. Their primary sin was rebellion against Elohim.

There was, however, one man that came not to steal, kill and destroy but to offer a life of abundance and purity. This man is the high priest in Leviticus sixteen, where is talking about God’s appointed time of Yom Kippur. This special Moedim of God is a representation of Yeshua through the actions of Aaron. Yom Kippur is known as the day of atonement and is during the fall. 

Aaron Had to Enter the Holy Place: 

Leviticus 16 “3 Here is how Aharon is to enter the Holy Place: with a young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering.” (CJB)

With linen which represents holiness and transmission of shalom

Yeshua atoned for all sin, he became the young bull, the ram, and he was dressed in the linen of completed shalom.  

In Yeshua, sin becomes obsolete with his sacrifice of blood. 

Leviticus 16:5 “5 He is to take from the community of the people of Isra’el two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.” (CJB)

Yeshua, taking the place of the goat became the sin offering, to cleaned the uncleanliness, transgressions, and sins from the House of Israel, the ark-cover, holy place, the tent of meeting, and the altar.

Yeshua became the live goat in which all the sins were upon him. He carried the crimes to the desert where he will leave it in the place of death and bondage, transferring it back to the area where satan and his followers will be, the lake of fire.

Leviticus 16:21 “21 Aharon is to lay both his hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the transgressions, crimes and sins of the people of Isra’el; he is to put them on the head of the goat and then send it away into the desert with a man appointed for the purpose.” (CJB)

Leviticus 16:22 “22 The goat will bear all their transgressions away to some isolated place, and he is to let the goat go in the desert.” (CJB)

Romans 16:20 “20 And God, the source of shalom, will soon crush the Adversary under your feet.” (CJB)

Revelation 20:10 “10 The Adversary who had deceived them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” (CJB)

Yeshua has conquered all for those that are willing to accept his blood. He came to promote life, not death. Also, He came to die, not to kill. Furthermore, He came to serve; not so others could serve him. 

The men that came to conquer this world had selfish power, committing atrocities, pain, and suffering. 

Yeshua came as a lamb; however, he will return in power to put in their place all those who oppose holiness, those that by their evil actions dug a hole of everlasting death for themselves and evil will collect them and call home the emptiness of their evil deeds.

Revelation 22:11-12 (CJB) “11 Whoever keeps acting wickedly, let him go on acting wickedly; whoever is filthy, let him go on being made filthy. ‘Also, whoever is righteous, let him go on doing what is righteous; and whoever is holy, let him go on being made holy.’ 12 ‘Pay attention!’ [says Yeshua,] ‘I am coming soon, and my rewards are with me to give to each person according to what he has done.’” CJB
