Azazel pops up in the book of Enoch, which I didn't even know the Muslims accepted as Canon :freak:
@daqq, you must have meant Azrael, or perhaps some other angel- because Azazel is insidious.
EDIT: This is a difficult thread to follow, and I mistook you for defending Azazel
:chuckle:
Good job brother, I think we are a rare breed on this site who actually enjoys angel/demonology.
Interesting, look here: Enoch and the Book of Giants. Yes, your edit is correct.
Enoch is the most controversial apocacrypha.
I don't discount it, to be honest. I just don't have it canonized in my mind either.
It's one of those things that one can speak against, but then also can't speak against.
There are so many hidden connections in that book, which is what trips me out lain:
John 10:30 KJV -
Goats can only do goat stuff, it's in their design parameters.
He does not go to "the grave" but is sent away into the dry-arid desert places, (seeking rest). And finding no rest, he returns to the house-body-temple from which he came out, and finds it swept and garnished. He goes out into the world because he is the spirit of the world.
1 John 2:18-20 ASV
18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.
20 And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
Who knows all things? The one who has the anointing.
Who and what is the anointing? The Testimony of Yeshua is the New Covenant Spirit.
Luke 11:24-26 KJV
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
Ephesians 2:1-3 KJV
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
What or who is "the prince of the power of the air" that you formerly served if you are now in the faith? And if you formerly served such a one then where did he go? Was he cast forth out of you when you first believed? Paul seems to make that fairly apparent. And if the prince of the power of the air went forth from your house-body-temple what does the Master say about that in the above Luke passage? No exceptions to the rule if you are truly his disciple.
Daniel 8:5
5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: [power of the air] and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
Daniel 8:21
21 And the shaggy he-goat [sa`iyr tsaphiyr] is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Each in his or her own appointed times: your hour of trial, (1 John 2:18).
So Yeshua says, "Sin no more, lest something more evil come unto you", (John 5:14, #3).
Moreover, I say, if most do not even know that an unclean spirit went out of them when they first believed, or what that actually means in theologic terms, (doctrines), how shall they know when "the prince of the power of the air" returns? Are we not commanded to Watch! in Mark 13:37?
There sure is a lot of (fiery) hot air around here . . . :chuckle:
The Day of atonement is a fast day.
The Azazel took sins to an uninhabited place. The ultimate uninhabited place is the grave.
It was a fast until evening day. Peace
The problem that I find with your perspective here is that it hinges on Azazel being a personal pronoun (though I think you meant proper noun). If you look at the grammar within the text you will find that Azazel is only used only once as a proper noun. Furthermore, it also shows a lack of fundamental understanding in how lots were made. Those who have translated many of the modern versions have also missed this as well. I have taken the time to correct the mistakes in the box below.
(Leviticus 16:8-10) And Aaron will cast lots upon the two goats; one lot: Eternal One, and the other lot: Scapegoat. (9) And Aaron will bring the goat upon which the Eternal One's lot fell, and offer him as a sin offering. (10) But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, will be presented alive before the Eternal One, to make an atonement with him, to let him go as a scapegoat into the wilderness.
In Hebrew culture, lots were often used to determine many things. A lot was usually a piece of wood, stone, or metal (which is actually the meaning of the Hebrew word translated as "lot") that would have an inscription carved into them to identify what the lot represented. In this case, verse 8 tells us the inscription that was carved into each lot. One would have "Eternal One" carved into it and the other would have "Scapegoat (Azazel)" carved into it. Consequently, this is the only time that the word "scapegoat (azazel)" is used as a proper noun, as it identifies the lot in verse 8, not the goat. In verses 9 and 10 we have to look carefully at the word order to determine the context in which "scapegoat (azazel)" is being used. Notice that in verse 9 it says, "The goat upon which the Eternal One's lot fell," whereas in verse 10 it says, "But the goat, upon which the lot fell." This tells the reader that the word "scapegoat" that follows is no longer being used as a proper noun. From that we know that it should be, "But the goat upon which the lot fell to be a scapegoat, will be presented alive before the Eternal One, to let him go as a scapegoat into the wilderness." Furthermore, once we take a look at the complete scope of the two goats, we can see that the whole thing together typifies Jesus the Messiah and his death and resurrection. This can be clearly seen by the events that took place after the resurrection of Jesus.
Notice in John 20:17 that Jesus tells Mary not to touch him because he had not yet ascended to the Father. In other words, he was not yet presented alive before the Eternal one, to be let go as a scapegoat into the wilderness (back into the physical realm); besides that, he also needed to place his own blood on the mercy seat in Heaven. Also note that Jesus tells Mary to say to his disciples that he has ascended to the Father, which he would do sometime within the 8 days between his conversation with Mary and showing up in the room to Thomas. We know that it was done within that time because it was then that Jesus told Thomas to touch his wounds (John 20:27).
First, you cannot employ the contextual meaning of a word in one passage to be the same meaning of the same word in a different context. If that was the case, then both goats that the lots were cast upon would really be demons by that logic, and Esau would have been a demon man, because it is the same word that is used for "hairy."
Second, that word is only translated as devils twice, and both times it is in reference to idols. Remember, the Children of Israel came from Egypt where the worshiping and sacrificing to idols were common. Goats and calves were the most common idols made and worshiped in Egypt, and Israel has been known to worship them on more than one occasion...
So that's seriously all you see in that, is a goat "doing goat stuff"? LOL Do yourself a favor; look up acronym PARDES. Peace
for me it was to present Himself as first fruits in the heavenly temple and validate His mission as successful...
The day after Passover Sabbath being the festival of first fruits...
(And for those who care yes another OT festival kept after the DBR which signed and sealed the new covenant...)
The goat is driven from the camp...and not to its death...and doing goat things is herding...that goat will come back duh...and next morning the goat will be there again...doing goat stuff...to be driven away again...and so the metaphor breaks away as fractals do...not because it ends but interest in it does
Finally some interpret it as to kill the goat...that "solves" it...
But as a metaphor it really is a clever way to better understand sin...as doing what goats do...survive
That is also another reason... You would be surprised at the complexity of all that was fulfilled. Something else interesting about the time between talking to Mary and appearing to the disciples is that the 8 days also coincided with the 8 day ritual of circumcision of a newborn with Jesus being firstborn of many brothers (spiritually).
Sent from my iPhone using TOL
Those eight days are the seven days of consecrations, (Exo 29:35, Lev 8:33, 35), plus the final eighth day of the consecrations of the kohanim, (Lev 9:1). That is the reason why the disciples-apostles were "shut up" in the upper room with the door having been locked. For "the fear" of the Yhudim does not just mean they were "afraid of the Yhudim" but can also be understood more like "the reverential-fear of YHWH is the beginning of wisdom", that kind of reverencial fear, which is "the fear" of the Yhudim. The apostles are thus the commencement of the royal priesthood of which Peter speaks when he quotes from Exo 19:5-6 LXX in 1Pet 2:9.
Indeed, as I have said, there is a great complexity to all that was fulfilled there.
Yeah, and as you suggested, "a circumcision", but in the first case for Ahron, (Lev 9:1, Lev 10:1).
Two "parts" breathed their last, (Nadab and Abihu), the eighth day, (Zec 13:7-9, Matt 26:31).
@daqq's Method's of Deceit (Updated)
(1) Boiling Scripture down to root language and using possible word definitions to distort scriptural integrity.
- this also makes @daqq look like a theological Ace. Unfortunately... It's just scriptural smoke, mirrors and scriptural distortion and twisting.
Example: Daqq tampering with Isaiah 9:6 Via Septuagint (Greek Translation)
The Joke? The Great Isaiah Scroll is one of the oldest... full... Hebrew Scrolls in existence. It dates to 125 BCE and all 66 chapters of Isaiah are intact... Um... Rotfl... Trinity Tampering? You're funny @daqq
The Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsaa) is one of the original seven Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in Qumran in 1947. It is the largest (734 cm) and best preserved of all the biblical scrolls, and the only one that is almost complete. The 54 columns contain all 66 chapters of the Hebrew version of the biblical Book of Isaiah. Dating from ca. 125 BCE, it is also one of the oldest of the Dead Sea Scrolls, some one thousand years older than the oldest manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible known to us before the scrolls' discovery.
The Great Isaiah Scroll Translated... at verse 6 of Chapter 9
23. with burning consuming fire. (5) Because a child shall be born to us and a son is given to us and the government shall be upon
24. his shoulders and he shall be called wonderful, counsellor, mighty God, everlasting father the prince of peace. (6) Of the increase
25. of his government [&waw&} and his peace there shall be no end. upon the throne of David and over his kingdom to order it and to establish it
Isaiah 9:6
For a child is born to us, a son is given to us; dominion will rest on his shoulders, and he will be given the name Pele-Yo‘etz El Gibbor Avi-‘Ad Sar-Shalom Wonder of a Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace,
(2) Long, Spiritual Allegory that is partially accurate, but is infused with commentary from Daqq's doctrinal source.
- I know this is going to sound extreme, but Daqq is listening to a very dark voice and he believes that it is indeed "Godly"... but...
Matthew 6:22-24
(3) Making False Theological Claims about others
(4) Whining
(5) Nit picking a term to hide theological error (Gnat Straining)
(6) Playing Victim to avoid answering to scripture.
(7) Claiming He has rebutted someone, while fully leaving all posted scripture towards him... un-refuted by anything other than tactic 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or any combination of them... or all of them.
Prime example This is a link to a post where I directly addressed the myriad of scripture that @daqq had failed to address.
And Daqq... Tabbed browsing... Copy and paste... will work fine. What is your desire, other than to justify your self righteousness and Hatered for God that is manifested in your mocking of the virgin birth and Gods work of Atonment in the death of His Logos in Flesh, Burial and Resurrection in HIS true Logos TEMPLE?

What does this verse mean to you?
Isaiah 9:6 ?
All this explains what we read here about the Lord Jesus:"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace" (Isa.9:6).
There is going to be a King appointed by God to rule the earth---"the government will come to be on his shoulder," and there will be no end of peace. That King is Jesus Christ, "mighty god," NOT Almighty God. He is a powerful, important individual, and that is what "god" means. It doesn't say that he is the Most High God.
Also, VaYikra (Leviticus) - "And He called"
And He called to Moses: (ויקרא אל משה)
