Joshua takes over from Moses

Joshua took over command now and with the special angelic help, the Israelites crossed the Jordan and took Jericho and the fortress towns including most of Canaan.
The men were weary of warfare and were eager to start farming their own new lands and enjoy the fruits of their conquest, rather than complete the over running and ethnic cleansing of lands seemingly so far away from their kin, left behind in the central Canaan area, Kenite, Jebusite, Perizzite and Girgashite country from the coast to the Jordan.
So the conquest was never fully completed and consequently the remaining resentful enemy populations were able to tempt many neighbouring Israeli settlements by their immoral lifestyles, involving elements of false relgion which weakened their faith and resolve.
The battle, both physical and spiritual was fought doggedly by both sides, for every brook stream hill and valley community.
Jehovah was of determined to prevent the downfall of this, his heaven backed Holy nation, as it was the necessary channel for his future plans to be fulfilled through.
Whether the Israelites were faithful or moral, which he thought was very dubious, they had to be protected for now, at least.
They were like all humans, peculiarly religiously stubborn one moment, then extremely lax the next, leading Jehovah to exasperation.
One year giving them ear to hear their pleas, and prayers for forgiveness and assistance, to end the oppression of marauding military bands from neighbouring tribes, such as the Amorites, Amalekites, or Moabites.
This led to the sending of Michael who had led them through the wilderness years to patch things up with the help of Gabriel.
Then when everything was running nice and smooth again, only to see their resolve go and go back to their false gods and worship, enticed by the natives and their sexual festivities.
Michael and Gabriel were often in the thick of it, intervening many times as Satan with the help of Baal, Dagon, Molech and especially Ashtoreth, who was worshipped all over the Mediterranean as Astarte.
This crowd of demons main preoccupation was to unseat the faith of Isreal and the line of Abraham but this Jehovah would not let happen til it suited his purposes.
The pressure nevertheless was relentless.

Zaphenath-Paneah is Joseph

Jacob lived and died faithfully and left the twelve famous, but not so obedient or moral sons to pass on the blessings to the future generations.
These twelve sons and 58 dependants moved temporarily to Egypt to weather out a famine which came upon Canaan, under the protection of the visionary estranged brother Zaphenath-Paneah, better known as Joseph, who rose to the highest rank in service to thePharoah of Egypt, as harvest produce supremo.
This minor migration was part of the plan to start revealing the nature, power, and authority of the soon to be published name of almighty God, Jehovah.
His name, well known in heaven by angelic and demon forces was not revealed to humans, till the time of the great exodus of the Hebrews, out of Egypt, calledby them the Habiru.
Jehovahs power was soon shown in his humbling of all the false gods of Egypt, whose nation had imprisoned the descendants of Jacob, to use as tied labour.
Moses, a son of the Habiru who was raised up in the Egyptian court, finally led them out of Egypt, in the face of impotent priestly and royal opposition.
The Egyptians suffered continious plagues of destruction, including the death of their firstborn.
They died despite the imploring of the various priests, to the gods of their temples, including the highly venerated Amun - Ra, which may have then contributed to their temporary change to a monotheistic worship, that of a single god, the Aten of Armarna fame, of pharoah Akhen-aten.

Moses led them out of Egypt on a route to the promised land of Canaan.
On the border of this land, Moses sent out spies to check out the land and the forces that might be arrayed against them.
The spies were in the land of Canaan for 4o days and when they returned they gave an account of what they saw there, a land flowing with milk and honey with a great many fortified towns and strong military units protecting them.
The majority of the spies were for moving on to find another more softer target, out of fear of these formidible foes.
Jehovah was incensed by them and their lack of faith, especially after all the signs and wonders given in Egypt, to deliver them, and so he punished them, the faithless ones with a year in the wilderness for every day of their spying out the land.
Forty years were spent out in the wilderness. A year for every day.

Over time Moses gave them the rules and laws to live by such as the ten commandents and the priestly law to sacrifice daily 2 lambs. One in the morning and the other in the evening with some olive oil, flour, and wine. This was to be the daily sacrifice, the constant feature.
After moses had passed away, they were advised to follow the instructions of their guiding angel, Joshua 5 :13 and 1st corinthians 10 : 4, and it was at this time that Archangel Michael had a dispute with satan over the body of Moses, Jude verse 8, in which Michael refused to be goaded by Satan into losing his temper, or relinquishing the body, possibly to prevent an unauthorised shrine being built for Moses to be worshipped at. The dead body of Moses was of no use to him now, as he had already obtained a new spritual one as a member of the elite elders council, one of the twenty four.

Angelic forces assembled to protect Abraham

Michael summoned his host and asked proud Gabriel to assemble his enlarged following, to the great hall, and after they had collected there, Michael revealed the work ahead to them.

"Servant angels of the light. Your number onecommision from here on today, and for the foreseeable future, is to protect the interest of the Most High in reference to the man Abram, soon to be known as Abraham of Haran.
He must be safely escorted to Canaan, with all his family and possesions.

The fight to clear the terrible slur laid against the sovereignty and majesty of our God Jehovah, starts right here, right NOW, and rests on this human and his descendants.
So brothers, we will have to be vigilant, circumspect and cautious in all our dealings now , even in our conversations, never giving a break to the enemy.
Protect this man and his kin.
The enemy is smart and already knows something big is afoot.
The revelations of the facts of this plan will be ongoing to you, and to man, until eventually one day all will be revealed.
So Gods speed and to your hosts duties go diligently, dismissed".

The angels demeanour imediately changed, for they now knew, the rumours were true and that they were to take part in the greatest test of wills in the universe, and that they aimed to be in the battle and they meant to make sure they were on the winning side, now that they had some tangible strategy. The tide had turned.

The outcome of the meeting was to be seen within a year, when Abraham moved to Canaan, with all his family, flocks and household servants.
At quite an advanced age, Isaac was born to his wife Sarai (now called Sarah), who up till then had been barren, and was well past her child bearing age.
Abraham travelled around Canaan and resided at various sites, Shechem in the north, Bethel a little further south, and he finally settled down in the south at Mamre near Hebron in the Negeb.
When Isaac was born, Abraham was tested to see if he would even sacrifice his only son, his first born on the future site of the earthly Holy Temple, on the hill called mount Moriah, just as Jehovah was to do two thousand years later with his firstborn.

Isaac his son, remained faithful to his God too and passed his blessing and knowledge onto Jacob, his son, who was later renamed Israel, the father of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Napthali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun and Josephs two sons, who were adopted later by Jacob, in Egypt, Ephraim and Manasseh.Then lastly Benjamin was born.
Joseph ceded his inheritance, to his sons, by having his father Jacob adopt them.
Before Jacob died, he prophecied about his sons descendants.
The prophecy about Judahs line was that, the sceptre will not depart from Judah, nor the rulers staff from between his feet, until he comes, to whom it belongs and obedience of the nations is his. (Until SHILOH comes to whom it legally belongs).

Gabriel promoted to Anointed military guardian Cherub in charge of communications

"A fine healthy land, praised the elders.
Michael nodded in agreement, and Gabriel threw up his hands in delight," the plan is on, then.
The plan is on", Gabriel kept repeating, as he jigged around the floor.
The Most High walked up to Gabriel and placed his hands on him and said, "will you accept the position of senior Anointed communications Cherub".
"Why yes of course I would master. You do me a great honour sir".
"You will carry a heavy workload now, my son. This will involve you in co-ordinating all messages to our people below, and your new position will give you a great host of servants to organise. Michael will be the protecting prince of the invisible realm, for Abraham and his people, but you will be his eyes and ears and especially his voice.
The official rank son, is that of an Anointed military guardian Cherub. You are the first one to be promoted as such".
"Well done. Were all glad to see youget this promotion. You deserve it", Michael said congratulating him.
Gabriel was always glad to serve and please his master, the Most High, but he was especially thrilled now as he realised that with this promotion, his name, thanks to Gods blessing, would now resound throughout history from now on ever linked to the restoration story.

Abram (Abraham) is drawn from Ur to new land of Canaan

CHAPTER 10

At last, after half a millenia of further struggle, a glimmer of hope arrived when the Most High summoned Michael and Gabriel, and the two members, so far of the elders council, Enoch and Noah to the royal audience chamber, to debate the future course of devine policy.
"Come in, all of you. Come sit down, the Most High beckoned them politely but excitedly.
I think we may have the man, we have been seeking all these years, and the possible venue too.
Come see what you think, especially you Noah and Enoch.
The mans name is Abram, Jehovah continued, and is currently residing in the city of Haran in Paddan-Aram, but heralds from the city of Ur of Chaldeas fame.
This man is the son of Terah.He keeps himself to himself and doesnt involve himself in the false worship around him.
He`s obedient to the knowledge of me, that was passed down to him through the generations and seeks me before he attempts anything important.
The family fled the religious conformity of Ur, even though it was their homeland for ages.
What do you thik gentlemen, is he not a fine choice"?
They all agreed without reservation, though they only knew the bare outlines of the projected plan, something only the master and Michael knew fully.
"I do declare now by the power of my name Jehovah,that I do sanction the choice of this man and his decendants, for the fulfilling of the destiny I wish brought upon the earth.
I will bless him by making his family line the chosen inheritors of my chosen land, if he remains faithful.
This is a sacred covenant I will keep forever, as a symbol of hope for mankind, and I will change his name to Abraham to signify this blessing.
I also declare that the land that I have chosen to bless, and use in my plans to reassert my sovereignty is the land of Canaan".
"Canaan," they all said, a little bemused.
The Most High felt that he should outline his reasonings.
"Canaan is the ideal place, and has many really good aspects. Its got a varied landscape. Plains and river valleys, mountains and deserts and as such could be identifiable with to any inhabitants on earth. It has rich agriculural land, especially when I bless it. Everyone laughed "And your going to have to do that", Michael added.
"But most importantly, Jehovahmotioned to them, it is on one of the major crossroads of the world. A good number of the caravan land trade routes from three continents pass through there or near it.
Perfect for disseminating sacred secrets eh! Gabriel".
"Why yes master. Its well placed for that" he replied.

Archangel Michael finds solution to Babel problem

Jehovah continued, "This sort of thing could upset all my plans. I need thousands of years, not hundreds, to bring my plans to completion.
I need some ideas son. We need a practical solution to this.
Michael looked over the table exhibiting the map of the city and out lying areas,whilst looking at Remiel and his slight speach impediment and accent, he surmised, "I dont suppose we could alter the language they speak, could we.
Maybe create more than one language, maybe several languages.
It could be done if we effect the cognitive receptors in their brains, a form of disphasia, linking different sounds to completely new meanings.
It would beenough to run the operation for only one generation in four or five phonetic groupings to accomplish the required result, as each specific group would comprehend only their own language"
"Yes, I think you are definately on the right track with this one, but we may have to be careful in this matter. Splitting up the humans into separate groups may lead to, not only confusion but violent rivalry. This would put Satan back in the game big time, just when we had gained some small advantage over him.
By this action we will be giving him far easier targets to manipulate, thus even furnishing him with the tools to use against us, but I have no other option. It is imperative that I gain the necessary time without curtailing mankinds freedom of choice, or divulging that we have any set strategem for the future".

The vocal disorientation plan was thus acepted and implemented accordingly.
The only draw back was the eventual separation and break up of the human species into national groupings, leading to alienation and antipathy towards each other.
As anticipated Satan and his demons imediately identified the opportunity offered them and had a field day and regained much increased influence behind the scenes in the new tribal goupings with their individual religious panoply.
The new evolving demonic hierarchy reflected this by developing along tribal linguistic ethnic divergence.
Each nation receiving its appointed invisible prince and host of demons, like Lucifer, of the two rivers region, the Tigris and Euphrates, to the east, and Baal who received the future named Canaan area.

As the dark side manoeuvred behind eachtribal grouping and city state, so the Most Highs angels of light, shadowed them.
An invisible hierarchy of princes and servants evolved on both sides, informing their respective lords of any possible advantage to be gained or lost occuring in their principalities.
The overall side effects of the introduction of the multi lingual society was the forseen increase again of false worship coupled with envy, greed, and pain inflicted on innocents by the incessent warfare. BUT balanced against this loss, bought at great cost, was the vital precious TIME necessary.

Jehovah confronts problems in Babel

CHAPTER 8

Now that it was plainly seen that Jehovah does act against his enemies, there was a marked increase in the level of worship of him, especially now that there was no physical demonic presence on earth any more, just a visible one.
After many hundreds of years had passed, the population again expanded, consequentially vast crowds of people started to congregate together in the Babel area, creating an early form of urban life.
They even built a large tower, to inspire the city dwellers to stay within its view and not be dispersed, to benefit from the cities amenities and protection.
The sun baked mud bricks provided the natural resource for this building frenzy which took place, as hut led onto hut, street onto street, till there was a general bustle about the place.
People were drawn to trade there, from the out lying regions because of its demands for produce and so even more folk were influenced to reside there permanently.
All the population spoke the same language, so there wasnt to many constraints to prevent the small town from becoming the first megopolis.
This turn of events brought on a show of the Most Highs displeasure at one of situation update meetings.
"This grouping together of the population into an urban mass, doesnt look good, Gabriel. I know were this can lead to.
I was only saying to Michael, the other day, that left to their own devices, man in a few centuries could consolidate their developing knowledge, towards the creation of a market led industrial state, with the poential spinoff of applied technology being able to build extraordinary machines, harmful to the environment, even possibly breaking into the secrets of atomic structures with its fearful ramifications".
"And what did Michael say, sir seeing that Im afraid I dont have a clue what you mean".
"It means, Gabriel that, somehow Im going to have to step in andprevent them from urbanising too early. Any ideas, Gabriel, how I can acheive that"?
"Im not sure sir, that I can think of any solution that wouldnt lead them to just resite the city somewhere else, such as cutting off their present water supply".
"Michael, what do you think. I need some input here.
Are you feeling alright Michael. You seem distracted withdrawn. Can we help"? Jehovah quized
"Its not really a problem, father, Michael said. Im just a bit confused. Ive just bumped into the human Enoch, up here, wandering around outside in the Temple complex".
"Oh that. Its alright Michael. I had him brought up here, and Noah too. Ive given them spiritual bodies, and I intend to bring even more up here, another 22 of them in fact.
Good loyal solid humans, who arent afraid to speak the truth, to advise us from the human perpective, as a council of 24 elders.
And it wont do any harm to our cause, to see twentyfour humans rewarded and up here.
They will be useful to you, Michael, especially when they have been identified down there,before they reeive their heavenly reward. You can use them to promote and inform the humans of your eventual mission. Anyhow we can talk of them later. For now though how are we to stop or slow down this concentration of humans in towns and cities".
