Message 268
Its a word that has been visited before and it's Hebraic intent expressed often, though an even sharper view is warranted. In it's organic state it is the Hebrew word gôy גוי (go'-ee). It's definition is “massing”. It's root definition is “back” which leads to the Hebraic intent “to rise”. And we forget not that Hebraic intent always speaks to Yahweh's Kingdom, the Kingdom of thought.
Gôy has several modern day translations. In Scripture it is commonly translated as “nation” (around 374x), and “heathen” (around 143x), and “Gentiles” (around 30x), and “people” (around 11x). The 144,000 understand well that no matter the translation, it speaks to those things “foreign (“strange”)” to the ways of Yahweh: Those thoughts foreign to Yahweh's Mind!!
“A mass of foreign thoughts, causing the mind to rise up against Yahweh!”
And at the core of this mystery revealed is another mystery expressed in it's entirety at Romans 11:36. The crux being that Yahweh's Unilateral Mind Contract (Covenant) with chosen souls, ALWAYS declared that whomever He did choose would be collectively named as “Yisrâʼêl (yis-raw-ale') (“might will rule”; thoughts ruled by and for Yahweh's power)”. And that anyone and everyone not of the root faculty Yehûwdâh (Judah; the “praise” faculty within) would have to be “grafted (contrary to nature)” into Israel. These masses of Gentiles (thoughts “foreign” to Yahweh's will) would have their nature (the grafting) changed, to become “thoughts ruled by and for Yahweh's power”.
