He is the bronze serpent, the oracle of Yah clothed in a robe and mantle. In strength he will be a servant and serve.  My husband, our beloved is peace. The people are enlarged, and Yah is my father. He is a man of sorrows, and a ruler and governer. Yahuah is exalted and he is the power of Yah, the strength of Yah. Yahuah is perfect and complete. He has grasped and posseses through Yahuah’s strengthening. Forgetting the multitudes of people, Yah heals and has possessed them. I have asked of Elohim to be pressed out of Babylon. A father of praise, Elohim sets up a helper, the righteous and just one, who is established and raised up. Elohim is majestic, Elohim has helped. He gave us a gift, the heel, the supplanter and the increased double portion.
