Ketuvim (Writings) function as precedents or witness-texts for interpreting the Nevi’im (Prophets), analogous to how witnesses in a courtroom corroborate or clarify testimony. Daniel 9:20–27 as a בנין אב to Zechariah 1–6 and 9–14. not the best precedent. In a legal setting, a clarifying witness helps explain complex or vague statements. The Writings often unpack the dense metaphorical language of the Prophets. Where a Prophet might use cryptic imagery — the Writings often provide the ethical or practical application, making the Prophetic “testimony” intelligible to the community.

The Books Ketuvim act as the clarifying witness to the Books Nevi’im. The Books Ketuvim function in the role of corroborating witness, which defines the timing or legal mechanisms – making a depth analysis of Prophetic mussar. Ketuvim serve as the model to how the Gemara re-interprets the language of a given Mishna by comparing halachic precedents from different mesechtot “PERSPECTIVES” of the Sha’s (6 Orders of Mishnaic law) Mishna.

The prophetic mussar that most closely parallels Daniel 9:20–27—both in structure Jeremiah 25 and 29 (the 70‑year decree); Yeremiah 30–33 (the “Book of Consolation”); Yehezekiel 36–37 (restoration after punishment, Remembrance of the oath sworn to the Avot); Isaiah 40–55 (Servant, atonement, national redemption) — they share Daniel’s legal structure, oath פרדס logic, and wisdom commandment/time‑bound decrees. Daniel 9:20-27 follows D’varim 28-32. Its “70 weeks” resembles Yeremiah’s 70 years; the legal‑forensic revelation (גזירה, חתום, נחתך) language of Yeremiah communicates the din of כרת; like the decree of g’lut when Israel rebelled to keep the Yovel.

The Yovel mitzva serves as the foundation to the chosen Cohen peoples’ brit to inherit the oath sworn land of Canaan. This great Torah mitzva learns directly from the “yovel” from Egyptian slavery. The k’vanna of acceptance of the yoke of the kingdom of heaven most essentially dependent upon remembering the Yovel from Par’o, his corrupt court, together with the dedication to rule the land of Canaan with righteous judicial common law courtroom justice -which makes fair restitution of damages among our people.

Israel upon invading Canaan kept the Pesach and brit melah – the sign of the Yovel redemption oath blessing brit. The later Prophets and Holy Writings serve as a depth analysis of Torah commandments with a good eye – to raise ritual commandments unto wisdom time oriented commandments which require k’vanna. Yovel not an empty declaration of Freedom in the Land! Only when “true” Yovel rules in conquered Canaan do Sahedrin Great and Small Capital Crimes Court justices judge cases of Dini Nafshot.

This prophetic Yovel mussar the later Books of the Prophets weigh. The Holy Writings, in this example the Book of Daniel, functions as a courtroom precedent-witness … testimony which “remembers” the huge shadow cast by Moshe; sent as a מלאך to redeem Israel from slavery. So too, and how much more so the nevuah of Yermiah together with Daniel. ברית חדשה views Yerushalim/בית המקדש as the משל whose most essential נמשל – the restoration of Great & Small Sanhedrin common law Federal Courtrooms. Its not the Temple service משל – barbeques to Heaven, but rather the נמשל – the Spirit of HaShem dwells within the Yatzir HaTov through Oral Torah tohor middot! These “Spirits of HaShem” they rule and dominate over the tuma Yatzir Ha-Ra spirits; like Yaacov stole the blessing from Esav! Like HaShem chose the wisdom commandment of Hevel over the first born Cains’ positive commandment which had no fire k’vanna. Hence בראשית contains ברית אש!

Yehezkel 36,37 commands a legal-forensic mussar to Daniel’s “to finish transgression, to atone for iniquity.” This vision of the Yovel mitzva remembers the salvation from Egypt in the days of Moshe Aaron and Mariam. During the cruelty of g’lut slavery Jews in despair remember the oaths sworn to the Avot – this t’shuva it לכפר עון – Isaiah 53, akin to rabbi Akiva laughing while the sages wept at the sight of a fox departing from the destroyed Holy of Holies. The Torah brit of blessing – curse … the one always learns the דיוק/inference from the other.

TIME DILATION IN SURAH AL-KAHF, the Koran tells a vague abstract story which stands in the shadow of Israelite slaves crushed under the oppressive jackboots of Par’o and his Court.

Major modern tafsirs such as Fi Zilal al-Qur’an (Sayyid Qutb, Sunni, Egypt) interpret SURAH AL-KAHF through the lenses of Tawhid. Oblivious that the theology of Tawhid violates the 2nd Sinai commandment. The very Name Allah amounts to a Golden Calf word substitution for the Spirit Name revealed for the first time in the 1st Sinai commandment. In the Book of בראשית multiple Divine Names interchanged with one another. This employment of Divine Name metaphor pronouns duplicates the revelation of the Oral Torah middot Spirit pronouns “אל רחום חנון etc”. Contrast the revelation of Divine Spirits with that of gospel John 1:1 And the word is God … the word אלהים describes the God that brought Israel out of metaphor “the cave” of Egypt; this Golden Calf hence repudiates Word-Translations of the First Commandment שם השם revelation of Divine tohor Spirits which dwell within the metaphor “the [different] cave” of the Yatzir of Tov within the heart of the bnai brit Israel – when they dedicate the kre’a shma בכל לבבך\כם tefillah wherein they accept the yoke of tohor middot as the dominant spirits לשמה which rule over their tumah Yatzir Ha’ra middot within their hearts.

Understood, that last abstract description of what distinguishes the שם השם from other Divine Names found in בראשית – quite a mouthful! To restate the above: The שם השם – לא בשמים הוא. Whereas the vision of the other בראשית Divine Names envision the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth; the משל משכן aspect of the Sinai revelation restricts the Sinai first commandment Name strictly limited to Divine Justice expressed through the Sanhedrin courts below upon this Earth – within the borders of the oath sworn land inheritance of the Chosen Cohen people.

This vision invalidates both the Roman NT forgery as well as the Muhammad false prophet, based upon the simple undisputed fact that both Yishmael and Esav reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai to this day. The God of the Avot, a local tribal God — only the 12 tribes of Israel accept the Torah Sinai revelation. Goyim worship their own God(s) according to the tongue of their cultures and customs. That’s an obvious given. Simply observe how different societies worship their own Gods: China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, India etc etc etc. The two so-called “daughter religions” spew a belief in some Universal Monotheistic God. Hence they assume the mandate to convert all Humanity with a convert or die ultimatum.

The Koran disparages Jews as the ‘People of the Book’ – people who worship words. Yet substituting the word Allah for the Torah Sinai vision “tohor middot לשמה, live only in this world” – clearly worships words as well. This type of nonsense known as “projectionism”. Contrast the simple Jew who tucks his tzitzit into his pocket when he visits a cemetery! The First Commandment Sinai Spirit Name only lives in the Earth: expressed through fair compensation of damages inflicted upon victims; imposed by righteous judges of Torah common law courts – strictly and only within the borders of Canaan when the Cohen people keep the Pesach\Yovel. Post acceptance of the Torah revelation, Jews do not pray to any God in the Heavens. Rather we dedicate tohor Oral Torah middot “Spirits” as the dominate influencers within our hearts as the meaning of “righteousness pursue”. Hence tefillah known as a “matter of the heart”.

Goyim stick to their “faith” that God dwells in some Heaven above; that religious belief system define this “faith”. The Torah revelation, bases itself emphatically upon the mussar of the NaCH prophets – like unto Moshe the prophet. Torah faith limits itself to the righteous pursuit of justice – among our own people, within the conquered lands of Canaan; the k’vanna of the wisdom time-oriented first Sinai commandment. The bi-polar distinction separates the first from the second Sinai commandments; separation between faith vs faith ultimately defines the k’vanna of the revelation of the 1st and 2nd Sinai commandments; both of which the Goyim “daughter religions” emphatically reject. Impossible to claim that Yishmael served as the korban for Avraham at the Akada, and also claim thereafter – that Muslims accept Muhammad as the last “Torah” prophet.

Unlike the Koran which declares that prophets sent to all peoples and nations, this notion violates the model of Moshe as a prophet. Moshe sent as a מלאך of HaShem to Egypt; at the brit cut between Avram and אל שדי at the brit between the pieces – their אל שדי warned Avram that his future born (O’lam Ha’bah seed) chosen Cohen children would dwell in a land not their own, suffer injustice through judicial oppression/slavery and from there – know redemption: Yovel-freedom – to inherit the land of Canaan as their eternal inheritance obligation. G’lut Mitzrim serves as the Av model of the curse of judicial oppression; Israel therefore did not conquer Canaan, simply as tyrants – no Canaanite king had the power to stand before us. In point of fact some Canaanite kings did blunt the invasion for a time. Rather, the abomination of Par’o, together with his ‘star-court’, this cursed perverted justice directly compares to the post Shoah oath “NEVER AGAIN”.

The Sinai language in Sh’mot and D’varim differ on the language of הזכר vs.שמור. The distinction between the life vs. death – blessing vs curse – 1st vs 2nd Sinai commandments. Therefore all Torah prophets like Moshe exist as sent מלאכים – who command mussar as the tools to enforce the rulings of the Court (established through the mandate of the Torah); whose jurisdiction – limited only within the borders of conquered Canaan – אשר הוציאך מארץ מצרים מבית עבדים – when the Cohen nation remembers and rejoices the Yovel. Clearly the language of the word “Egypt” in the first commandment – לאו דוקא; all lands of exile in all times – contained within the language “Egypt”. Torah commands mussar, not history. The word בראשית inclusive of the entire Torah; this first Book introduces Av wisdom time-oriented commandments as the יסוד of all משנה תורה Sanhedrin common law.

This fundamental distinction, it defines the spirit k’vanna of the 7th Oral Torah middah רב חסד. In opposite and stark contrast, the NT’s apostle Paul (Galatians 2:15 or 3:23). The Paulin incongruity juxtaposes life “under the law” at variance to: life “in Christ”. He argues—that justification and the Spirit—not observance of the Mosaic legal system—constitute the Hope-foundation of righteousness for Goyim believers. By the terms of this interpretation, Goyim become equal heirs to the brit sworn to the Avot – Rom. 11; through belief “in Christ,” and thus participating in the oath sworn to the Avot, that only they alone would father the chosen Cohen people who would inherit the land Canaan. The fundamental flaw in such idol speculation: Moshe directly commanded not to invade or attack the land of Esav or Moav. This negative commandment serves as witness that the vision of the Torah limits the inheritance of the Cohen people strictly and only to Canaan. Jews have no obligation to convert people to accept the Torah.

This NT religion interpretation by the Apostle Paul, it seems to me, that it serves as the basis for how the later Koran likewise employed its own interpretive substitute theology of Tawhid Allah. This Tawḥīd “dogma” emphasizes the belief in the oneness of Allah; upon this “Rock” stands both the Arab and the conquered/converted Islamic theologies of belief in Allah. The follow-up creed, known as the Koranic Prophetic Succession. The idea that prophets sent by Allah to all peoples and culminated with Muhammad. This “canon” comparable to the Roman Catholic succession of Peter! Both this and that set as the “method” to guide humanity. Both religious communities prioritize creed theologies over ethnic or cultural identity. The Sunni Shiite split consequent to the murder of Ali, while the Catholic Protestant split exploded over divorce and church corrupt indulgences. Both religious creeds have fought long bloody wars against themselves and one another.

Different cultures and customs practiced by multiple peoples make their own unique contribution to how they understand their God(s). Israel vision of a local tribal god radically differs from the Muhammadan or earlier Paulin interpretations of faith.

Linguistic cognates express cultures and traditions of unique societies and civilization. The courts of both Arab Islamic Catholic and Protestant countries do not in the least resemble a common law Torah Legislative Review mandated Sanhedrin Federal Court system. ברית does not translate to “covenant”. The former requires שם ומלכות whereas neither “daughter religion” does not understand “covenant” by these Torah preconditions.

שם – The Name revealed in the 1st Sinai commandment. No where duplicated in either the Koran or NT/OT. מלכות – the dedication of Oral Torah middot revealed to Moshe on Yom Kippur – where HaShem remembered His oath to the Avot and annuled His Vow to make Moshe the father of the chosen Cohen people. קרבן – no more a “ritual act” than the Akadah! Prior to the revelation of the Torah, to swear a Torah oath – a bnei brit Israel had to dedicate a korban to swear a Torah oath with שם ומלכות. Time-oriented wisdom commandments require k’vanna. Ritual acts do not require k’vanna any more than to positive or negative Torah commandments. סנקציות – blessings/curses – the first two commandments of the brit of life or death unique to the Cohen brit faith. Legal meaning established through Case/Din judicial precedents, not a dog chasing its own tail vocabulary – word translations; each society has their own cultures and traditions that their language “jargan” communicates among their own people.

Neither Islam nor Xtianity can usurp their claims to Avot lineage. Sarah commanded Avram that only her son Yitzak would inherit the oath brit Cohen people inheritance. Neither JeZeus nor Muhammad 1500 or more year after the fact substitute messiah or Yishmael in the stead of the Avot. Simply not intellectually honest.

Linguistic cognates express cultures and traditions. The 7th Century CE Koran has its values embraced by huge populations. The same applies to the European religion which converted the Roman Empire to embrace the Nicene Creed. But their “mandate” to convert the world, stops when their fists reach the tip of bnai brit noses.

“Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, nor sons for fathers.” (משנה תורה כד:טז) Goyim never accepted the Torah. Torah common law does not apply to Goyim according to the Apostle Paul! Goyim worship their own Gods and theological belief systems. No such thing as Universal morality just as no such thing as a Universal monotheistic GOD.

Both church and mosque throughout history dictated to Jews “convert or die”. Goyim do not require any connection to the Torah for them to pursue righteousness – Asians and Indians serve as witness. Goyim faith in their Gods different than Jewish faith in the pursuit of righteous justice which makes fair compensation for damages inflicted.

Clearly neither the Pauline or Mohammedan theologies/creeds do not erase moral responsibility, but neither did they prevent repeated war crimes against humanity perpetuated again and again from generation to generation to generation! No moral universal code exists because every society sets the standards of their courts of law. Both Xtianity and Islam av tuma avoda zarah for Jews. Goyim who worship God or Gods by definition do not come under the category of avoda zarah. All Human societies produce their own unique court justice systems. Goyim courts have killed both Fathers and sons collectively. Stalin and Mao stand as stark examples.

Clearly Jews living in g’lut obligated to obey the laws which Goyim Legislatures and courts impose. Just as the 7 mitzvot bnai noach only apply to ger toshav during the Yovel in Israel. Both church and mosque have inherited a racial superiority complex expressed through their disdain for minority populations dwelling under their domains for 2000+ years. Impossible to sweep these crimes against humanity under the rug. None the less mesechta Pirkei Avot teaches: “The righteous of the nations have a share in the World to Come.”

The 2nd Sinai commandment against avoda zarah applies only to the chosen Cohen people and not to Goyim because on Israel brought out of Egypt by this specific local god. Nontheless, both church and mosque do not frame their av tuma avoda zara – for Jews alone – as historical constructs but rather as eternal truths! Therefore a real core issue of post Shoah Jewry – a secularist emphatic rejection of theology – Rambam, church or mosque.

T’NaCH and Talmud as common law — Mussar and Halacha — rejects the entire assimilated medieval halachic superstructure (Rambam, Hellenistic rationalism, Aristotelian metaphysics, Xtianized categories, Islamic kalam, etc.) as foreign to the original Israelite legal tradition. Torah she’bichtav + Talmud as courtroom common law model, without any alien philosophical overlays. Avoda zarah – the 2nd Sinai commandment – only makes the Cohen nation morally defective.

Goyim religions or philosophies teach both wisdom and possess great merit. Torah limits its prophetic mussar strictly and only to the chosen Cohen people in all generations. No universal morality exist because all people develop their own courts of law unique to their own traditions. For example: Western courtrooms frown upon Capital Crimes terminating in the death penalty. Torah common law does not pretend to speak from God. The Talmud purposely excludes all reference to the שם השם. The purview of common law courts – fair compensation for damages – both Torts and Capital damages.

Goyim civilizations have no tradition of mussar. They view reality through the eyes of history. Hence the argument: “History proves the Goyim repeatedly failed justice”, just as did the kingdoms of Yechuda and Israel too failed to rule Canaan with righteous justice. As a secular Jew, basically I only express my personal opinion and nothing more. That said, it appears to me that secular Jews trust no theology — not Rambam/Karo, not Paul, not JeZeus nor Muhammad etc. T’NaCH and Talmud simply the sealed common law masoret: not theology.

The righteous pursuit of Justice within the borders of conquered Canaan, defines Torah faith לשמה. The Torah of בראשית opens with the description of creation as “תהו ובהו”. Justice as a wisdom commandment imposes Order upon the government of the Republic in conquered Canaan. Bottom line: the chosen Cohen people just like Goyim … only more so! Goyim excluded as a כלל from inheritance in the world to come. Not because Jews have a wisdom about the mysteries of life and death. But the concept “world to come” learns from the future born seed of Avram defined through a oath brit cut between the pieces.

Torah as a legal system does not delve into the Goyim concept of life in the world to come. Torah limits this idea to the eternal birth of the seed of Avram Yitzak and Yaacov without extinction. This oath brit faith separates all the ancient mighty nations who ruled and collapsed unto oblivion like a person buried in a grave. The Framers of both T’NaCH & Talmud define wisdom commandments through the Prime-Models of shabbat and tefillah – time oriented commandments.

The burden of reconquering our homeland, now turns to restoring the Yovel Liberty in this land — through the establishment of a Federal Common law lateral Sanhedrin Great & Small system of justice. All civilizations struggle to emerge Order out of the mess of chaos and anarchy. History repeatedly proves this through Civil Wars and the “New World Order” thereafter imposed. תמיד מעשה בראשית commands the mussar that civilizations rise up go into decay and collapse. Then the process starts all over again.

Herein explains the sum of all Human history. Goyim have their own concepts of “world to come”. The Torah does not address Goyim theology or belief systems. Better for a Jew to never be born than speculate upon matters “above, below, or behind” him. Such speculation, truly a waste of time and effort. Israel as the light unto the Goyim teaches justice justice pursue as faith. Let then your God or Gods determine where the chips fall thereafter.
