The Priestly Blessing ...
Numbers 6:24-26
“24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The
LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be
gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his
countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”

The Priestly Blessing ...
Hebraic Translation
"YHVH will kneel before you presenting gifts, and
He will guard you with a hedge of protection,
YHVH will illuminate the wholeness of His Being
toward you, bringing order, and He will provide
you with love, sustenance, and friendship, YHVH
will lift up the wholeness of His Being and look
upon you, and He will set in place all you need to
be whole and complete."

1
This blessing is (ritually) recited (by the kohanim) during synagogue services during Nesiat Kapayim ("the Raising of the
Hands"), though it is also recited over children on Friday night before the start of the Shabbat meal or as a bedtime blessing.
2
The name YHVH (hwhy) represents God's attributes of love and mercy (~ymix]r:h; tD"m)i , in contradistiction to the name Elohim
(~yhil{a)/ , which represents God's attribute of justice and power as our Creator.
3
hk'r"B. (b'rachah). Jewish tradition considers this both material and spiritual prosperity. Pirkei Avot 3:15 says, "If there is no
flour, there is no Torah," by which is meant that material benefits are intended to help you pursue study of Torah. The first
occurrence of the word "blessing" in the Scriptures pertains to pru urvu (Wbr>W WrP.), "be fruitful and multiply" (Gen. 1:22).
4
rm;v' (shamar): To guard, protect, heed, as in the exercise of diligent care. Only God has the power to secure the conferred
blessing and keep it from turning sour or from fading away.
5
The word for "face" (~ynIP)' is plural with the 3rd person singular ending. It is considered metaphorical since God is
incorporeal. The plural form is thought by some to indicate God's revealed and hidden attributes in creation.
6
The hiphil verb (raey)" comes from the word "light" (rAa), and is thought to refer to God's wisdom. "May God enlighten you"
with His wisdom, i.e., the Divine Light that preceded the work of creation (Gen. 1:3).
7
May God grant you grace or favor (!xe), i.e., to understand the "breadth and length and height and depth" of God's love (Eph.
3:18). Grace refers to the bestowal of an undeserved gift. The blessing is bestowed even though unearned or unmerited.
8
Since one's face is an indication of the heart's attitude, Rashi says that this means God will suppress His anger by "looking at
you" (if God is angry at you, He "turns His face away" and refuses to admit your presence). The "lifting of face" also
pictures God lifting you up as a father might lift up his child in joy. The "showing of face" indicates spiritual intimacy.
9
All of the other blessings are useless without the establishment of inner peace, and therefore it is the seal of the blessing.
Shalom (~Alv') is not simply the absence of strife, but a balance and harmony between the finite and infinite, the temporal
and the eternal, the material and the spiritual realms. Shalom is a gift from Sar Shalom (~Alv' rf;), the Prince of Peace.

Part 4:
The tree of
iniquity and the
occult root
9
The Tree of Iniquity/Idolatry …
REMEMBER previously, we learnt that there are THREE specific violations 1 of God’s
Torah [Instructions/Word] that will bring on curses:
1. Involvement in the OCCULT.
2. Involvement in BLOODSHED.
3. Involvement in SEXUAL INIQUITIES.
You see, iniquity/idolatry in our own lives and that of our generations can be likened to a
tree. Like in the physical, a tree starts out as a small – all most insignificant – seed. In the
spiritual, the seed of idolatry is sown in the first violation and disobedience of God’s Torah
[Instructions/Word]. Once the seed of idolatry takes root, it “grows/sprouts” these three
taproots of involvement in the occult, bloodshed, and sexual iniquities. It is from these
three main roots that the tree will be “feed”, producing evil and bad fruit.
1
It
is
also
through
these
main
violations,
that
the
kingdom
of
darkness
gains
LEGAL
right
in
our
lives
and
generations.
10
We must understand that the seed for this tree of iniquity/idolatry can be planted at
anytime in our family line. For the majority of people, not only has the seed been planted –
but the tree is “nicely” established, having been “nourished” over the generations – and
which is now producing another harvest of fruit in our current lives.
This is the big picture … in the next few sections we are going to be looking at the THREE
main roots, along with their specific branches and fruits.
The OCCULT root …
God commanded the Israelites to kill every living soul in the land of Canaan, including the
children. This great judgment gives us an indication of the seriousness of the curse that
was upon the land as a result of the occult. The people worshipped idols and practiced
witchcraft. The death of the people was the only way to remove the influence and
presence of the occult. The occult root went back to the third and fourth generations
(Deuteronomy 13:12-17); there are other curses that go back even further – for example,
sexual iniquities go back to ten generations!
Deuteronomy 13:12-17 “12 If you hear it said in one of your cities which the Lord your God
has given you in which to dwell, 13 That certain base fellows have gone out from your
midst and have enticed away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve
other gods—gods you have not known—14 Then you shall inquire and make search
and ask diligently. And behold, if it is true and certain that such an abominable thing has
been done among you, 15 You shall surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the
edge of the sword, destroying it utterly and all who are in it and its beasts with the
edge of the sword. 16 And you shall collect all its spoil into the midst of its open square
and shall burn the city with fire with every bit of its spoil [as a whole burnt offering] to the
Lord your God. It shall be a heap [of ruins] forever; it shall not be built again. 17 And
nothing of the accursed thing shall cling to your hand, so that the Lord may turn
from the fierceness of His anger, and show you mercy and have compassion on you
and multiply you, as He swore to your fathers,”
1 Corinthians 6:18 “18 Shun immorality and all sexual looseness [flee from impurity in
thought, word, or deed]. Any other sin which a man commits is one outside the body, but
he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.”
We must remember that occult involvement gives satan a legal right – a legal claim to an
individual. Satan being a copy-cat, also has demonic spiritual gifts and these are passed
down from generation to generation, as well as curses.
•
Knowledge [“enlightenment”] and power are the main elements of the occult.
o The occult is a search for destiny and knowledge (Deuteronomy 29:29).
Ecclesiastes 3:11 “11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted
eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working
through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men
cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.”
11
•
There is a need for meaning and direction in life.
o People are fascinated by the unknown.
o All forms of the occult try to predict the future.
•
The occult is obsessed with power to dominate and control.
o Man's potential to rule the earth is distorted.
o People try to dominate, manipulate and control others.
o People try to exercise power over the gods.
o Instead of subjecting themselves to God people looked for other gods that
they could manipulate to make themselves powerful.
Imitation of the occult.
There is a vacuum in the religious world. For
generations, the Church has denied the
supernatural, as well as the working of the
Holy Spirit. The kingdom of darkness is
creating a revival of the occult in this
vacuum. We see this particularly evident in
today’s youth who are looking for something
that’s “real” – they need the TRUE
supernatural reality of the LORD!
•
Through the occult, people have
discovered the reality of another
dimension.
o The world of the occult is a
reality.
o Many people believe that “If it
is real, then it is right”.
o Many have ignored the reality
of a spiritual enemy.
•
The occult world is a supernatural
dimension.
o Wrong assumption: “If it is
supernatural, it must be God”.
o Man has a supernatural enemy who is an imitator of the Truth, which is God
and His Word.
•
The kingdom of another dimension is revealed through the occult.
o The occult holds the keys to the doors of this dimension.
o Examples of these doors in a broad sense are: spiritualism, psychic powers,
ESP, foretelling, magic, satanism, mysticism, and so forth.
•
There are counterfeit gifts of the Holy Spirit in the occult.
12
Deuteronomy 18:14-15 “14 For these nations whom you shall dispossess listen to
soothsayers and diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do so.
15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet (Prophet) from the midst of
your brethren like me [Moses]; to him you shall listen.”
The TRUE supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit are listened in 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. As we
have noted, there are COUNTERFEIT gifts of the kingdom of darkness. Christians not yet
delivered – who have not cut off curses and influences of the occult – will still have and be
operating in these “gifts”.
HOLY SPIRIT gifts.
COUNTERFEIT gifts.
Gifts of revelation.
Word of wisdom.
Clairvoyance, ESP, clairaudience.
Word of knowledge.
Foreknowledge, premonitions.
Discernment of spirits.
Telepathy, direct experience of another’s
thoughts.
Power gifts.
Gift of faith.
Gift of healing.
Faith through concentration of the mind
and will; superstition.
Psychic and medium healings.
Gift of working miracles.
Supernatural manifestations.
Gifts of encouragement.
Gift of prophesy.
Fortune-telling.
Gift of tongues.
Demonic utterances.
Gift of interpretation of tongues.
Fortune-telling.
When giving a gift, the influence and presence of the person who gives the gift comes
with. The Holy Spirit gives gifts and His Presence and Influence goes with the gift
(Ephesians 4:11-12).
•
The occult powers focus on the mind, but truth comes through the Spirit and is a
ministry of the Holy Spirit.
•
The ministry of the truth does not need passivity or trance. The Spirit of God does
not consume or dominate the individual (2 Corinthians 3:17).
•
Be careful of laying-on of hands – there is a transference in this. Be careful of
methods and/or formulas (satan’s reaction to a formula – Acts 19 – the Seven Sons
of Sceva!).
•
We need to give back satan’s gifts, ranking, abilities – everything in our lives that
connect us to the kingdom of darkness.
13
The fruit2 of the OCCULT root:
•
Spiritual blockages:
o Supernatural control that prevents the person from confessing faith in Y’shua
[Jesus] (2 Corinthians 4:4).
o An attitude of rebelling towards all authority.
o Spiritual hindrance that prevents people from being baptized in the Holy
Spirit.
o Inability to read the Bible, to pray or worship without being attacked (usually
with blasphemy or filthy thoughts).
•
Physical symptoms:
o Symptoms of paralysis, epilepsy, nervous problems, and so forth.
o Children born with abnormalities – misshapen, deaf, mute, and so forth.
o Nervous disorders, learning problems (Deuteronomy 28:28; 2 Timothy 1:7) –
confusion of the mind, rebelliousness, inability to function socially, fears,
nightmares, and so forth.
•
Emotional instability:
o Temper tantrums (anger, spirits of murder, bloodshed),
o Hatred and cursing (especially children),
o Nervous disorders,
o Anti social behavior,
o Depression,
o Abnormal sexual behavior in children – lust is the fruit of the occult root.
•
Fears:
o Insecurity, continual torment, nightmares.
o Sleep paralysis 3.
•
Mental problems – psychological problems:
o Disturbance of behavior patterns,
o Learning problems,
o Mental disease (insanity),
o Blasphemous thoughts,
o Lustful and perverted thoughts.
•
Slavery:
o All idolatry leads to slavery, just in different forms. Satan demands worship –
this leads to certain fruit and/or curses.

15
The following is an additional list of the FRUIT of occult involvement. Note, these giftings
are from satan, which are counterfeits of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
•
Giftings:
o Physical abilities.
o ESP.
o Astral travel.
o Communication with
demons.
o False healing (potions
and/or herbs).
o Power over fire, water,
wind, and earth.
o Power over animals.
o Power over people –
charisma/charm – can
also be sexual power,
such as Delilah and
Cleopatra.
•
Ranking:
o Counterfeiting the
motivational gifts in the
Body of Messiah.
o The area of occult
specialization determines the person's place in the
kingdom of darkness. Examples of occult areas include Freemasonry, false
religions, Satanism, martial arts, alternative/heavy-metal music5.
•
Calling (counterfeits ministries in the Body of Messiah):
o The fruit will determine promotion or growth and the manifestation of God's
Power through you.
o The purpose is to establish satan's kingdom through the type/function that
you may have, in order to give worship to Satan/Lucifer. Some examples
include wizardry (the highest call in white magic), sorcery (the highest call in
black magic), Satanism high priest/priestess, warlock, witch, psychic,
medium, necromancer, sangoma, and so forth.
Ranking in the kingdom of darkness …
It is very interesting to take note that ranking within the kingdom of darkness is rated
according to the bloodline. In the ministry of deliverance to Satanists, it is very clear that
the more defiled the bloodline, the higher the ranking! Satan specializes in bloodline
curses.

Questions?
•
How is it possible that a Christian should suffer oppression as a result of deeds
committed before salvation?
o Answer: Doors that were opened to the powers of darkness will stay open
until they are closed by a decision of the will. When you have made a
covenant with an unclean spirit,
YOU must break it.
•
Can a Christian who has never been
actively involved in any occult activity still
experience oppression?
o Answer: YES, in various ways –

By inheritance from
previous generations,

Children can be defiled by
certain occult blessings
which were – Requested by
their parents (in
Catholicism, a certain saint
can be assigned to you;
ministers who are leading
impure lives).

Certain occult movies or TV
programs or videos or
computer games.

The Hebrew
Language

The Hebrew Language ...
What’s the context? It is so important to ask – and answer – this question, particularly
when studying the Scriptures. We need to know what the meaning, understanding,
culture, and value system of the text was in the language and time the text was written.
Our modern-day mindsets cause us to define words within today’s meanings,
understanding, culture, and value systems … however, this is often quite a way off from
what was the original – and intended – understanding.
The Scriptures were written thousands of years ago in HEBREW, and in an EasternSemitic culture. If this is truth, then can we come to a different interpretation of any given
passage?
In order to expand our study and understanding of the Word, we need to have a “crash
course” in the original language the text was written, ancient Hebrew.
Ancient Hebrew has an alphabet of TWENTY-TWO letters. Obviously, words are written
using a combination of these letters [note, there are no vowels]. However, what makes
this language even more of an “adventure” is that each individual letter of the alphabet has
a unique meaning, picture [symbolism], and number. This means, you can study and
understand the plain text as is … and you can study further by delving into the individual
symbolism of the letters. Often, doing this kind of study brings out further meaning and
richness to the passage. You will find that we have used this type of study – examining
the picture-meaning of the Hebrew words – throughout our materials. We have found this
such a blessing in our own understanding of the Scriptures, and trust you will enjoy it just
as much! Truly, God’s Word is ALIVE!
