Deuteronomy 16:21—KJV
Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any
trees near unto the altar of the Lord thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
When Yahweh led the children of Israyl out of the land of Egypt, He warned them, telling them not to worship His wife: The Queen of Heaven—the same Queen of Heaven who the Prophet Yeremyah condemned. This warning has been hidden for many years due to the fact that Deuteronomy 16:21 was mistranslated in the King James Version.
Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the Lord thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
Due to the way this Scripture was written in this version, one would think that Yahweh is concerned with the planting of trees. However, notice the word for word translation of this verse from The NIV Interlinear Hebrew-English Old Testament, by John Kohlenberger III:
The word, plant, in this verse of the King James Version, is translated from the Hebrew root word natah, which according to The Hebrew-English Lexicon, by Brown, Driver, and Briggs, page 642, means to establish.
The word trees in this verse, is the Hebrew word atz. This is the same word used in Genesis 2.
9 And out of the ground Yahweh made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight, and desirable for food. The Tree of Life was in the midst of the garden, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Righteousness and Evil was in the midst also.
16 And Yahweh commanded the man, saying: Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
17 But of the Tree of the Knowledge of Righteousness and Evil you must not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
The trees (the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Righteousness and Evil) mentioned in these verses refer to governments or a way of life - the Tree of Life being Yahweh's government, which is based on His 613 perfect Laws of love and concern for others - and the Tree of the Knowledge of Righteousness and Evil being Satan's way, which is based on her own rebellious laws (in opposition to Yahweh's Laws) that display lust, greed, and hatred.
Notice the word grove, which tells us which one of these two governments or ways of life that Yahweh is commanding us not to follow. The word grove is actually translated from the Hebrew word Asherah. Wilson's Old Testament Word Studies, page 203, gives us this information concerning Asherah, usually translated grove.
Gesenius' Hebrew Chaldee Lexicon, page 90, shows us that Asherah was the same being who was idolatrously worshiped as the planet Venus.
Recalling Isayah's words in Isayah 14:12, we read that Yahweh's wife, Lucifer, was known as Venus by the Romans. The Hebrew English Lexicon, by Brown, Driver, and Briggs, page 237, verifies this information.
With these meanings in place, we see that Yahweh is commanding His People not to live or worship according to Satan's form of government! This way of Satan (which stole worship from Yahweh, and was eventually set up in Yahweh's Temple) involved the use of sacred poles. These poles were used to set Yahweh's Feasts according to God's laws, and not Yahweh's. Yahweh's Laws command that His Feasts be set according to the actual sighting of the New Moon. The people turned from worshiping Yahweh, to worshiping Satan (Lucifer, Asherah).
Lucifer (Hillel) was known and worshiped by many nations as Asherah, Astarte, and Ashtoreth. Even many of the Israylites (Yahweh's chosen People) turned from worshiping Yahweh, and began to worship the Queen of Heaven by these very names, just as the nations surrounding them.
In this way the children of Israyl did evil in the sight of Yahweh. They forgot Yahweh their Father, and served baal-im; the lords (baalim) and gods (elo-him), and Ashtaroth; the goddesses.
All Israyl turned to the worship of Asherah (Ashtoreth), who was none other than Hillel (Venus__ Lucifer__The Queen of Heaven), who, after her own rebellion to Yahweh, became known in Scripture and called by Yahweh: the Adversary__Satan the Dragon.
