[1] Thus says YA’OH to His anointed one, to Chorash, who I have strengthened in his right hand to spread before him the people, and the loins of kings will I open, to open before him the double doors, and the gates not will they be closed.
[2] I before you will go, and honorable ones will I cause to be agreeable. Doors of brass will I break, and bars of iron will I hew down.
[3] And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and the hidden treasures of secret places so that you will know that I am YA’OH, the one calling by your name, the Higher Power of Ya’oh-shar-al.
[4] For the sake of my servant Ya’oh-ghakab, and Ya’oh-shar-al, I have chosen and I have called you by your name that I will nickname you, and not have you known me.
COMMENTARY OF YASHAI-YA’OH 45:1-4
[Verse 1] This is one of the most misunderstood verses in the entire bible. All modern historians insist that this verse is talking about Cyrus of Persia (550/547-517 BCE) because the name “Chorash” appears in the verse. For religious Christians and Jews this verse is proof that God loves everyone and He chooses anyone, even a heathen king of Persia named Cyrus, to be His mashaykh (‘messiah’), which means “anointed one”. Yet the scriptures never call a heathen king a mashaykh. Whenever the term is used it is always restricted to men of Ya’oh-shar-alay descent. Not only are they the only ones ever called mashaykh but Mazmor (Psalm) 147:19-20 doubles down on how YA’OH does not deal with heathen strangers the same way He deals with His own people Ya’oh-shar-al, who are the only ones dear to Him. The conventional heathen interpretation of this verse which makes the heathen Cyrus of Persia a mashaykh must therefore be incorrect.
to spread before him the people. The root verb radad (רדד) in this clause means “to spread”, but the 1611 Queen James Virus, and other heathen English translations understand this word to mean “to subdue, to conquer”, and this too is incorrect. The same word is used by King Doayd in Mazmor (Psalm) 144:2 where he praises and thanks YA’OH for being harodad ghamay thakhathay הרודד עמי תחתי (‘the one who spread my nation under me’). Doayd did not go to war and conquer his own people in order to become their king. He did not beat his own nation into submission by waging battles against them. YA’OH turned the hearts of the people toward Doayd and they willingly embraced him as their king (1 Sam. 18:7; 2 Sam. 5:1-3).
Let’s look even deeper. The verb radad is only used four times in the bible. The first time it is used it is describing how daylight time has been spread out and is nearing its end (Judges 19:11). The second time radad appears it is describing how gold was spread out upon the gilded items in the First Temple (1 Kings 6:32). The third time radad is used is in Mazmor 144:2 which we have already looked at. None of these usages of the verb imply submission achieved by military conquest.
Because the heathen bible translators have been deceived into thinking that verse 1 is talking about Cyrus of Persia it was only natural for them to assume radad in this verse is alluding to the famous military campaigns of Cyrus of Persia. Yet there has been no king more successful militarily or more combative than Doayd and the word radad does not describe Doayd as a military conqueror, though he was one, when he used the word to recall how YA’OH made him king. Likewise, the goaym (‘the people’) in verse 1 who are spread before Chorash are his own people, the people of Ya’oh-shar-al, the righteous remnant of them who recognize Chorash as their leader.
and the loins of kings will I open. A man’s loins are the sensitive areas of the body below his waist and above his thighs (Thorah 2.28:42). To open the loins of kings is figurative language which means to soften leaders up so that they willingly do what YA’OH wants them to do. He basically has them between a rock and a hard place and they are unaware of it. They cannot make any decisions that go against the will of YA’OH and disrupt His plans because their choices with regards to how they will relate and how they will interact with Chorash have been made for them by YA’OH. Nothing has been left to chance.
to open before him the double doors, and the gates not will they be closed. If you know the history of Cyrus the Persian, try naming any king who just gave Cyrus a green light to enter and occupy that king’s borders. You wont find one. Cyrus the Persian had to conquer and take lands by force. Hence, this detail in verse 1 does not fit Cyrus the Persian. What this verse is saying is that Chorash will be able to freely enter a foreign land, and the double doors and gates, which signify the border checkpoints in that foreign land, will not be closed to him and to the people who are spread before him. YA’OH is going to open those double doors and gates so that Chorash and his people can immigrate and settle in that foreign land. The doors preventing their Exodus will be opened and they will stay open until their Exodus is finished.
Ask yourself this question. What did the military conquests of Cyrus the Persian do for the advancement of the glory of YA’OH and for the redemption of His people? Nothing. Cyrus of Persia gave his god Mardouchebag (Marduk) all the glory for his success. He did not give any glory to the name YA’OH in his own words. The original Aramaic decree Cyrus issued for the rebuilding of the temple in Yaroshalam does not even mention the name YA’OH (Ghazar’a [Ezra] 6:1-5). The paraphrases of his decree composed in Hebrew (2 Chronicles 36:23; Ghazar’a [Ezra] 1:2-4) do mention the name, but these were not written by Cyrus. These were written by our people in order to give glory unto the name YA’OH because Cyrus did not give glory unto His name in his own words in the Aramaic original.
Moreover, Cyrus went back on his word and did not even honor his decree. He allowed heathen counsellors hired against us to change his mind and they prevented the second temple from being built the entire time Cyrus was alive (Ghazar’a [Ezra] 4:5). In the original Aramaic decree, Cyrus says the Alah’aym of our people is just a god who has a house at Yaroshalam. This really says it all, and why the paraphrases were necessary. Cyrus did not acknowledge our Alah’aym to be the supreme deity of heaven and earth. He must have thought that if that were true He wouldn’t need him, a heathen, to issue a decree.
The idea that Cyrus was too occupied with other matters to address the problem of our opposition in the land is nonsense. He found plenty of time to spend lavish sums of money in order to beautify the massive temple of Mardouchebag (Marduk) in Babylon, and to support the priesthood of several other pagan shrines in Babylon financially, but he supposedly was too busy to make sure the construction of the much smaller temple of YA’OH in Yaroshalam was proceeding without any hiccups, and at a fraction of the cost? This is absurd. Actions speak louder than words. That idol worshiping heathen king of Persia did not have any genuine interest in our temple, nor in the deity it is named after. How then can he be the mashaykh of Yashai-Ya’oh 45:1, and also the shepherd who does all the pleasure of YA’OH according to Yashai-Ya’oh 44:28? He can’t.
[Verse 2] This verse does not say crooked places will be made straight. It says honorable ones will I cause to be agreeable. The meaning here is pretty much the same as opening the loins of kings. YA’OH is going to use honorable people, people with means and with influence, and make them to be agreeable with Chorash and with what Chorash is doing. They will come on board and they will assist him. Doors of brass will I break, and bars of iron will I hew down. There will be obstacles, daunting ones even, seemingly impossible odds will be faced, but YA’OH is going to show His power and remove them all for Chorash.
[Verse 3] The purpose of making Chorash wealthy with treasures of darkness and hidden riches in secret places is not so that a great military leader from the heathens is raised up and the world looks back on him with awe and respect and with great admiration for his genius strategies on the battle field, and his statesmanship. Who cares? The idea here is to raise up a man who the world looks back on and says that man was all about YA’OH. He devoted his life and the resources given to him in order to bring glory to YA’OH, and to no one else but YA’OH. That man made the name YA’OH famous from east to west, because all he ever did was talk about that name, and praise that name, in everything he did. That’s the idea here. That’s the reason why this man is born and why YA’OH makes him rich, to proclaim and to bring glory to the name YA’OH. Chorash is nothing but a graffiti marker in the hand of YA’OH and YA’OH is going to use that graffiti marker to tag His holy name everywhere. Holy vandalism.
[Verse 4] As I have stated in the previous blog, Willows By The Water Courses and Their Leader, and in several other places, this chapter was never talking about a man whose birth name was Cyrus. It has always been talking about a man whose nickname, not his birth name, would be Chorash. The verb chanah (כנה) in this verse means to surname, to nickname, to give an epithet or cognomen. Put in a suffix conjugation of the first person, and with a pronominal suffix in the second person, achan-cha means “I will nickname you”. The name Chorash is a Ghabarayth (Hebrew) name combining a vocative chor (‘furnace’) with the verb rashash (‘break into pieces, smash’) in this verb’s imperative form, rash.
The name Chorash means: “Oh Furnace, smash!” It is a nickname that describes the belligerent character of this man, and of his mouth, whenever he is engaged in a heated verbal exchange. He is like a ravenous bird of prey (Yashai-Ya’oh 46:11), hostile and aggressive. He aims to humiliate. Maybe you have, but I have never seen a ravenous bird in the wild that was humble, polite, considerate, respectful and courteous to its enemy or to its prey. It is always ruthless to both. That animal is dangerous. It is only loving, kind and generous to the members of its own family who share the same nest. If you don’t belong to his nest, if he doesn’t consider you to be family, you can forget about him turning the other cheek. He ain’t no Christian.
Chorash is nicknamed by YA’OH even before he knows YA’OH. The heathen bible interpreters think this means Cyrus of Persia entered on his career of conquest ignorant of the true God who made his way prosperous, and that his nickname was “anointed one”! However, Cyrus was never called the “anointed one” by anyone while he was alive. That was never his nickname. In fact, the record shows that he did not have any nicknames during his life. He did not have nicknames until long after his death when the Greeks began calling him “the Great,” and “the Elder”. The man verse 4 is talking about is nicknamed Chorash during his lifetime, but he did not know the name of the one who nicknamed him, the one who shaped his character into a belligerent weapon, and the one who groomed him for the role of being the shepherd of the people of YA’OH, until it was time for him to step into that role.
[5] I am YA’OH, and there is none else. Beside me there is no god. I will gird you and not have you known me.
[6] So that they will know from rising of the sun, and from the west, that none is beside me. I am YA’OH and there is none else.
[7] The one who forms light, and the one who creates darkness. The one who makes shalom, and the creator of evil. I YA’OH am the one doing all these!
[8] Drop down, heavens from above; and skies, let it pour down righteousness. Let it be opened the earth, and let it bear fruit – salvation and righteousness! Let it spring up together. I YA’OH have created it.
COMMENTARY OF YASHAI-YA’OH 45:5-8
[Verses 5-6] These two verses are a disaster to the doctrine that makes Cyrus of Persia the subject of this chapter. Was Cyrus of Persia ever antithetical to polytheism? No. Did he ever believe YA’OH was the one and only deity? No. Did Cyrus of Persia ever make the name YA’OH feared from the far east where the sun rises, and from the west, so that people would know that there is no god but YA’OH? The answer is hell no! The man these two verses are talking about is girded up by YA’OH to do what these two verses are saying. It is his mission to make the name YA’OH known all over, and make it known that YA’OH is the one and only Higher Power. There is none else.
[Verse 7] It also the task of Chorash to preach that YA’OH creates light and darkness, shalom and evil. Yes, YA’OH is the creator of evil, both moral and physical. He made the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden. That tree didn’t plant itself. He planted it. When people choose evil He uses their choices to serve His own ends. No one is unemployed in His world. Whether you choose to be good or to be evil, you are His employee and you are working for Him at all times whether you realize it or not. You are His property. None of your choices can ever override and cancel out His choices. It’s the other way around. His will is supreme.
[Verse 8] This verse is not some lyrical effusion, called forth by the thought of the blessings that will follow the triumph of the true religion. It refers to the blessings consequent upon the deliverance of the remnant of Ya’oh-shar-al from their captivity in the land of the pyramids in the New World. Their Exodus from that land is in view here, just as it is in Yashai-Ya’oh 44:22-23 where nature is commanded to break forth into singing on behalf of the redeemed.
[9] Ho’ay to the one who strives with the one who made him. The Artist with vessels of earth. Will it say the clay to the one who formed it: What will you do and your work? There are no hands to him!
[10] Ho’ay to the one saying to father: What have you begotten? And to the woman: What have you twisted?
[11] Thus says YA’OH, the Holy One of Ya’oh-shar-al, and the one who formed him: The things coming, ask me. About my sons and about the work of my hands, you will command me.
[12] I have made earth and man upon it. I have created, I. My hands have stretched out heaven and all the host of them have I commanded.
COMMENTARY OF YASHAI-YA’OH 45:9-12
[Verses 9-10] These verses are not just a warning, they are a threat directed at the descendants of Ya’oh-shar-al who would dare to strive with YA’OH. He is THE artist. They are but vessels of earth clay. He makes them to be what He wants based on what is in their hearts, and there is nothing they can do about it. They don’t have hands. He does.
[Verse 11] This verse is powerful in light of the fact that so many people are interested in the whereabouts of the so-called lost tribes of Israel, and actively going about their own ways, and using their own methods, to try and identify them. Yet, according to this verse, you cannot know who they are and what is going to happen to them unless you ask YA’OH. They are the work of His hands. You don’t get into His workshop and get a close up view to see what He is doing with His sons without His permission. You can’t go around Him. You can’t sneak into or break into His workshop. You need to ask for His permission, and if His permission is not granted you are simply wasting your time.
[Verse 12] Lest we forget who owns the workshop, the owner is not just the creator of Ya’oh-shar-al. He is the Maker of heaven and earth, and everything that is in them, in just six consecutive literal days. You cannot figure Him out. He must let you in on what He is doing (via a prophet) or you will never know what it is that He is doing. Period.
[13] I have raised him up in righteousness, and all his ways will I direct. He will build my city, and my captives will he send, not for price and not for reward, says YA’OH tsaba’oth.
[14] Thus says YA’OH: the labor of Matsraym and the merchandise of Chosh and of the Saba’aym, men of stature upon you; they will pass over to you and to you they will belong. After you will they come, in firebrands will they pass over, and to you will they worship, and to you will they pray: Surely Al is with you and there is none else, no Higher Power!
[15] Surely you are the Higher Power, the one who hides Himself, the Higher Power of Ya’oh-shar-al, the Savior.
COMMENTARY OF YASHAI-YA’OH 45:13-15
[Verse 13] There simply is no way this verse is talking about Cyrus of Persia. He was not a righteous man. He was not raised up to keep the commandments of YA’OH which is the only way for one to be a righteous man in the eyes of YA’OH. His ways and his steps were not directed by YA’OH in righteousness. They were directed in wickedness because he chose idolatry. He did not build the city of YA’OH. He did not even authorize one to be built. He did send our people in living in exile back to the land, but you’d be pretty naive to think he sent them back without anything being in it for him. He was a politician after all. The price for allowing our people to resettle the promised land was their undivided loyalty to the Persian crown. That meant they had to abandon all hope of ever restoring the dynasty of Doayd. Paraphrasing Cyrus, facetiously: [Quote] The days of you having an independent kingdom of Ya’ohdah (Judah) are unfortunately over for good, but I will allow you to go home and rebuild your temple. Just make sure that the second temple you build is smaller than the first one. Oh, and one more thing. I almost forgot. Make sure you pay me my tax money on time, just like every other satrapy with a provincial governor in my Persian empire is paying me my taxes on a regular basis. Got it? Good. Off you go then. Now onto more pressing diplomatic matters of state, where the ladies at? [Unquote]
This was the reality for our people back then under Cyrus the Persian. He was an unrighteous king and YA’OH had him killed and beheaded by a woman on the battle field (Herodotus, Histories, 1.214).
Therefore, this verse is not talking about Cyrus the heathen Persian idolater, but about a man of Ya’oh-shar-al descent who is raised up to keep the commandments of YA’OH. All of his ways are directed by YA’OH in righteousness. This man WILL build a city of YA’OH (in the wilderness), and he will cause captives of Ya’oh-shar-al to leave the land of their punishment in the New World in an Exodus, not for price nor for reward.
[Verse 14] As if we needed any more proof, at what point did East African peoples willingly decide to become the property of Ya’oh-shar-al as their slaves, and confess that the deity of Ya’oh-shar-al is the one and only true Higher Power, during the time of Cyrus of Persia? The answer is never. However, it will happen soon during the time of the man whose nickname is Chorash when he and his people are growing and prospering in the wilderness. If not, then YA’OH has not spoken by me.
[Verse 15] This verse is said by the prophet Yashai-Ya’oh because he was aware of how long it would last that YA’OH would be silent and remain hidden from His own people. They have not heard a word from Him since He caused the Romans to destroy them in 70 CE. That was 1,952 years ago, and yet He has preserved us during all this time of our punishment and curses. Even in His great anger and displeasure with us He has not allowed us to vanish like other nations have. He is indeed our Higher Power and our only Savior.
[16] Put to shame are they, and also confounded are they, all of them together. They go into confusion, the ones who make idols.
[17] Ya’oh-shar-al is saved by YA’OH a salvation everlasting. Not will you all be ashamed, and not will you all be confounded for ever, ages of for ever.
[18] For thus says YA’OH, the one who created the heaven, He is the Higher Power, the one who formed the earth, and made it. He established it. Not for nothing did He create it. To be inhabited did He form it. I am YA’OH, and there is none else.
[19] Not in secret have I spoken. In a place of earth of darkness not have I said to the seed of Ya’oh-ghakab for nothing: Seek me! I am YA’OH, the one speaking righteousness, the one declaring upright things.
COMMENTARY OF YASHAI-YA’OH 45:16-19
[Verse 16] The interesting thing about this verse is that Cyrus of Persia financed the makers of idols. He even had an idol image of himself made at his capital, depicting himself as a four-winged genii demon (see photograph below). These are well-known facts in Persian studies. So if interpreters of the bible are insisting that this chapter is talking about Cyrus of Persia will they also say he is excused in verse 16? This verse condemns Cyrus of Persia, and everyone else who is into idolatry.
[Verse 17] The redemption of our people effected by Cyrus of Persia in the 6th century BCE was not an everlasting one. It only lasted for a few centuries, and then the Romans wiped the nation off of the map in the 1st century CE. This verse is talking about a redemption effected by a man whose nickname is Chorash and that redemption will never be snuffed out. YA’OH will bring in everlasting salvation when He puts Chorash to work, one that will endure for ever.
[Verse 18] YA’OH did not go to all the trouble to make this world to see it come to nothing. This is not some science experiment He is giving up on. He made this world to be inhabited by righteous people, and He will put it into the hands of righteous people, His witnesses, the people Ya’oh-shar-al, the one people who confess that there is none else but Him.
[Verse 19] Atheists love to say that if God is real He wouldn’t need people to write a book, or need people to speak for Him. This is the arrogance that says God must do what makes sense to me or He is not real. He has spoken but in His own way and on His own terms, and we who fear Him know He has spoken because of the accuracy of fulfilled prophecy, which is beyond man’s ability to manufacture or to manipulate. He has spoken but only to Ya’oh-ghakab. These are the only people, and the strangers who bless them, that He cares about. He is not bothered by an atheist’s disbelief. The last laugh is always His.
[20] Assemble yourselves together and come! Draw yourselves near, together, the ones who have escaped of the people, not knowing the ones setting up the tree, their idol image, or the ones praying to a god not saving.
[21] Declare you all, and draw near you all! Yes indeed, let them counsel together. Who is the one who declared this from ancient time, from then? He caused to declare it! Is it not I, YA’OH? And there is none other Higher Power beside me; a Power of righteousness and a Savior, there is none beside me!
[22] Turn to me and be saved all the ends of earth: for I am the Power, and there is none else.
COMMENTARY OF YASHAI-YA’OH 45-20-22
[Verse 20] Assemble yourselves together and come! Come where? Where do the ones who have escaped of the people, i.e. the remnant of Ya’oh-shar-al who have left the land of pyramids unlike the majority of their people, where are they supposed to go in obedience to the order to come? They are supposed to go where the voice of the one who is crying out in the wilderness is located, to the voice of the man nicknamed Chorash. They have abandoned that religion which still grips the majority of their people in the land of the pyramids, the religion that sets up and decorates a tree, and prays to a god who cannot save. This is the religion of Jesus Christ which is also condemned in the previous chapter of this prophet’s book.
[Verse 21] The ones who obey verse 20 are also the ones who will declare and take counsel together in the wilderness that YA’OH is the one who predicted their Exodus and their gathering to the wilderness. He called it in ancient times long before it happened, and this is proof that He alone is the one true Higher Power, and there is none else beside Him.
[Verse 22] Far from being some sort of call for universal salvation for all nations, YA’OH is still addressing His people Ya’oh-shar-al in this verse, the same people who He caused in His anger to be brought by ships to all ends of the earth in the New World during slavery. He did not drive His people to live on every square inch of earth. He cornered them at the one end of earth in all parts of the New World. The call to turn and repent goes out to them. He is their only hope.
[23] By myself have I sworn, it has gone out from my mouth righteously the word, and not will it return, that unto me will bend every knee, will swear every tongue!
[24] Surely by YA’OH unto me, one is saying, is righteous things and strength. Unto him will He come, and they will be put to shame, all the ones who are angry at him.
[25] By YA’OH will they be justified, and they will be glorified, all the seed of Ya’oh-shar-al.
COMMENTARY OF YASHAI-YA’OH 45:23-25
[Verse 23] Every knee will bend and every tongue will swear before YA’OH. It is disgusting and repulsive to those of us who serve YA’OH only how Paul has manhandled the words of this verse in his letter to his heathen followers at Philippi and have applied them to his idol god Jesus Christ (Phil. 2:10-11). This is a blasphemous abomination in a satanic book called the Greek New Testament. Were it not for the fact that my own people are so caught up and entrenched in that satanic book, I would not care to speak about it at all. It is only good for toilet paper to wipe one’s ass. On the other hand, the words of this verse do have something to do with the career of the man nicknamed Chorash because he will be used to promote the name YA’OH, and promote it fiercely, without apology. He will trash and denigrate the name of every god except for his own, except for the one whose name is pronounced YA’OH. There is none else.
[Verse 24] Chorash will make many enemies. People will hate his guts because of the way he pushes the name YA’OH and defecates on every other name in the process. Chorash is the one saying in this verse: Surely by YA’OH unto me is righteous things and strength. YA’OH said at the beginning of this chapter that He is the one who strengthens Chorash in his right hand. That’s where his righteousness and his strength come from, and everyone angry at Chorash will be put to shame.
[Verse 25] Not only will Chorash be justified and his haters silenced, but all the seed of Ya’oh-shar-al who return to YA’OH with their whole heart and keep His covenant will be justified and be glorified.
I close with this. Everything I have said above about Chorash is invalid unless they are being said by a genuine prophet raised up at “the time of the end”. Anyone claiming to be able to teach the Book of Yashai-Ya’oh but who is not a prophet of YA’OH proclaiming His correct name and calling the people of Ya’oh-shar-al to return to keep the whole covenant given by the hand of Mashah, every word of it, is misleading you.
His name is YA’OH
Always has been. Always will be.

This is a plethora of repetitive explanation to fully clarify and eliminate misconceptions and misconstrued beliefs contrary to what has been claimed by the brainstormed idolaters. They are simply joyous in their own choir, singing and shouting with their winged costumes like angels of their created heavens full of clouds ready to vaporize into waters not even enough to quench their thirst. Yet, there came this Chorash, to the wilderness, to break the furnace into pieces of heat to burn whoever will go against the proclamation of the Supreme Power’s name! Ya’Oh is His name! No one and nothing can break Him! He is the only master, the maker and the saviour.
