MYSTERY!

Joshua 6:26 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

Solved????

1 Kings 16:34 In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.

  1. Hiel = God lives.
  2. Bethel = God’s house
  3. Bethelite = from Bethel
  4. Jericho = its moon (moon lesser light.)
  5. Abiram = my father is exalted
  6. Segub = exalted

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Mystery solved?

Mystery: Satan lives (Hiel?) established and exalts himself as God and rebuilds condemned and destroyed moon (lesser light) city Jericho (as his own house of worship) with his own sons (Abiram and Segub) as congregation equally damned as himself.

Interestingly, also see:

Job 25:5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

Puzzling: Any relation to Joshua’s curse?

Bildad = confusing (by mingling) love
Shuahite = of Shua
Shua = wealth, wife of Judah, mother of Onan, Er & Shelah

Mystery: Could Bildad be referring to Satan’s (Hiel) house (Bethelite) of worship, Jericho (moon) and congregation (stars) as not pure in his sight?
