S6 238. Who, what?? - Prince Mastema, Semjaza, Azazel & Gadriel · Millennial Mustard Seed

0:20
Welcome back to the MMS. This is Rod.
0:23
I'm going to do things a little bit different today because it
0:26
is just me and I have something I want to read to you guys.
0:31
This is a document that was carefully prepared over the
0:35
course of a couple months by a friend of mine, BHB.
0:39
Let me give you guys a little bit of background.
0:41
So this is, I don't know, maybe 1520 pages.
0:44
I don't even know if I'm going to be able to read all of it. 23
0:47
pages. Wow, many, many words.
0:50
And I'm not the best at reading, so great, great start, right?
0:56
But this is a document, like I said, that was prepared by BHB
0:59
over the course of a couple months.
1:00
We've had some high dialogue behind the scenes, you know, who
1:04
is Satan, who is the devil, who's the serpent or the dragon,
1:09
this deceiver, the accuser, the brethren.
1:11
And what's interesting is like years ago, you know, you have
1:15
the, the, the general consensus Christianity in the West.
1:18
Most people can't give you an elaborate answer on that.
1:21
We're not just the average Christian here on the MMS.
1:24
We are the tip of the spear in a lot of ways.
1:28
And so this conversation has been going on for quite some
1:30
time behind the scenes, but BHB prepared 23 pages and I'm going
1:36
to read some of this. It all started with a question,
1:42
one that kept coming back to me no matter how many times I tried
1:46
to just accept the surface answers.
1:49
As I've grown in my faith, the Lord has surrounded me with new
1:52
people, brothers and sisters, with different walks, different
1:56
understandings, and a hunger to know the truth.
2:00
Through conversations, studies, and prayer, certain things
2:03
started to reach my ears that I hadn't given much thought to
2:06
before. One of the biggest this
2:09
question, and it's about Satan, the devil, the serpent, the
2:14
dragon, the deceiver. Who is it?
2:18
Or better yet, is it even an IT? Are we talking about a specific
2:25
being here, or are there just names and titles that different
2:29
spirits have carried over time? Is Satan one entity or are there
2:33
multiple Satan's? Is the devil a single entity or
2:39
is it the title passed from one being to another?
2:43
I kept wondering and I couldn't ignore the question anymore.
2:47
Who is Satan? These questions started circling
2:54
in my spirit, and the more I heard different people explain
2:57
it in different ways, the more I realized there wasn't just one
3:01
answer going around. Some said Satan is a symbolic
3:05
figure, others said it's multiple entities who play the
3:09
role, and even some said that the original serpent from the
3:13
Garden isn't the same as the dragon in the Book of
3:16
Revelation. So I stepped back, I quieted the
3:21
noise and I said, let me go to the scriptures.
3:25
I'm not just talking about the 66 books that most people are
3:28
familiar with. I mean all the scriptures that
3:31
the Lord has revealed to be true.
3:32
The Book of Enoch, the book of Drew Bullies, the Book of
3:35
Jasher. And I'm saying this clearly here
3:38
at the beginning. I believe these are scriptures,
3:42
they are God inspired. The same Spirit that breathed
3:45
through Genesis and Revelation, breathes through Enoch, through
3:48
Drew Blees, and through Jasher. After prayer, after study, after
3:52
discernment, I came to that conclusion with full peace.
3:58
So when I say I'm going to the Word, I mean it all.
4:01
Not just what tradition says I can read, but everything.
4:05
The Spirit has confirmed this study.
4:08
You are about to read. This journey is the result of
4:11
that process. I didn't come to this with a
4:15
conclusion already in mind. I came to it with an open heart,
4:19
a real hunger, and a willingness to file.
4:21
Follow the trail wherever it went.
4:24
I laid out the scriptures, I took the titles, I looked at the
4:28
names, and I asked who is behind all of it.
4:34
And the deeper I went, the more things started to line up.
4:37
Patterns emerged, names appeared, and what I found
4:40
changed everything. I want to walk you through what
4:44
I saw. I'm not here to tell you what to
4:47
believe. I'm just here to show you what
4:50
was revealed in the Word. And if you're willing to go deep
4:52
to examine every appearance of this mysterious being across the
4:56
Scriptures, and to keep your heart open in the process, then
5:01
what comes next will challenge you just like it challenged me.
5:07
Before we can even say who Satan is, we need to 1st understand
5:11
what Satan even means. Is it a name or is it a role?
5:18
Or are there many of these or just one?
5:20
Is the Devil just a title? And who, if anyone, truly
5:26
carries it? Let's find out if you're ever
5:30
going to understand who Satan is.
5:32
We first need to understand what the Word even means.
5:35
Not what we've heard growing up, not what the culture or
5:39
tradition says, but what the Scripture actually revealed.
5:42
When I started digging into this question, I didn't want to
5:44
assume anything. I just wanted to start with the
5:47
words themselves. So I opened the Word and started
5:50
searching. What does the Bible actually
5:53
call this enemy? What are the titles given to the
5:57
One who accuses, Deceives, Temps and Devours?
6:01
Here's what I found. There isn't just one word used,
6:04
there are several. Over and over again we see
6:07
titles like Satan, Devil, Lucifer, Serpent, Tempter,
6:10
Dragon, and Accuser. What are these words?
6:14
Or are they names? Or are they just descriptions of
6:18
a role being played? So let's go 1 by 1.
6:22
In Hebrew, the word Satan meaning adversary, accuser, one
6:26
who opposes. It's not a name, it's a role.
6:31
It's used in multiple places, sometimes even for human
6:35
enemies. It literally means the one who
6:37
stands against devil. This comes from the Greek word
6:42
diablos, meaning slanderer, false accuser, one who throws
6:47
against. It's a description of a
6:51
character, someone who spreads lies, twists truth, and causes
6:55
division. Again, not a personal name, it's
6:59
a function. This one surprised me.
7:03
The word Lucifer isn't Hebrew or Greek, it's Latin, and it comes
7:07
from the Latin Vulgate translation of Isaiah 1412.
7:12
Lucifer meaning light bearer or morning star.
7:16
But the original Hebrew word here is halal Ben shakar,
7:21
meaning shining one son of the morning.
7:24
It was a poetic phrase used in a prophecy against the king of
7:28
Babylon, someone who sought to exalt himself like God.
7:33
So was Lucifer a name? Not originally.
7:36
It's a symbolic title of pride, fall and false glory.
7:42
Serpent. In Hebrew this is nahash.
7:45
It doesn't just mean snake, it also implies enchantment,
7:50
divination, whispering. The word carries the idea of
7:54
something subtle, sneaky, and spiritually deceptive.
7:59
Used first in Genesis 3 for the one who deceived Eve Tempter.
8:05
In the New Testament, the enemy is called Ho Perazion in Greek,
8:10
meaning the one who tempts or tests.
8:13
This is a description of action, someone who puts others through
8:17
trials with the hope that they fail.
8:21
Dragon. In Revelation, the word used is
8:24
dracon. It means a great serpent, a
8:27
terrifying beast, something massive and ancient, symbolizing
8:32
chaos and destruction. It's not a proper name, it's a
8:36
title of fear and power. Accuser.
8:40
We see this most clearly in Revelation 12/10, when Satan is
8:44
called the accuser of our brethren.
8:47
That's his job. To accuse, to condemn, to stand
8:50
before God and bring charges against the righteous.
8:53
Again, it's not a name, it's a role.
8:59
So when I step back and look at all of these, something becomes
9:02
clear. These aren't names.
9:04
These are titles. They are descriptions,
9:10
functions, and roles. Each one reveals something about
9:15
how this being operates, but not who he is.
9:20
Satan is the adversary. The Devil is the slanderer.
9:25
Lucifer is the fallen glory seeker.
9:28
The serpent is a deceiver. The Tempter is the one who
9:32
tests. The dragon is the destroyer.
9:36
The Accuser is the one who brings condemnation, but none of
9:40
these tell us the name of the being behind it all.
9:45
So now I had to ask a real question.
9:47
If these are just titles, then who's playing the role?
9:52
Is there one entity behind all of these, or are there many
9:56
spirits who've carried these titles across time?
10:00
I've been told there's a devil, when really there's a structure.
10:07
Is Satan a person or a position? Is there one mastermind or a
10:13
revolving door of evil? These kind of questions change
10:19
everything because of Satan, Devil, Lucifer and all the rest
10:24
aren't names. Then who exactly are these
10:27
entities? And that's what led me to the
10:31
next part of my study. Let's see if there's a leader
10:35
behind it all. Is there really a leader behind
10:40
all of this? It's a thought that won't let me
10:43
go. We talk about Satan, the Devil,
10:47
the great dragon, the deceiver. But as I kept reading and
10:50
digging, I had to stop and ask myself, do the scriptures
10:53
actually say there's one central figure behind it all?
10:56
A chief over the fallen angels? A Prince over the forces of
11:00
darkness? Or is that just something we've
11:02
assumed or read into the text? Maybe something passed down over
11:07
time, mixed with the traditions of doctrine, without us ever
11:12
stopping to verify what's actually written.
11:17
That's what I wanted to know. So I went looking.
11:20
And I went looking deep. I wanted to see if the word ever
11:24
clearly names a single being. A commander, a ruler among the
11:28
rebellious host. Not a vague concept, not a
11:31
metaphor. A real spiritual being with a
11:34
real identity. And if there's one, who is it?
11:37
Does he have a name? Does he show up more than once?
11:42
First, I looked at SEM Jiazza. He's the one we see in the Book
11:48
of Enoch, the leader of the 200 watchers who descended upon
11:52
Mount Hermon and took wives among the daughters of men.
11:56
SEM Jiazza is the one who initiates this pact.
12:01
He rallies the other angels. He leads the rebellion.
12:05
So if we're looking for someone who fits the role of chief
12:09
adversary, this would seem like a strong candidate, right?
12:14
But then I kept reading, and after the rebellion, Sam Jiyaza
12:18
is judged, bound, and cast into the abyss.
12:22
And just like that, he disappears.
12:25
He never resurfaces. He doesn't even show up again in
12:28
the scripture. He doesn't keep operating or
12:32
influencing. His entire role begins and ends
12:36
with the Watcher's fall. A leader, yes, but only in this
12:41
instance, this part of the story, and not the kind of
12:46
ongoing figure we're trying to find.
12:48
Then I turned to Azazel. This one stood out immediately,
12:52
and Enoch 10-6, the Most High, speaks plainly.
12:56
The whole Earth has been corrupt through the works that were
13:00
taught by Azazel to him ascribe all sin.
13:05
That's a powerful statement. Azazel is described as the one
13:09
who corrupted the world, teaching warfare, sorcery,
13:13
vanity and wickedness. His influence was widespread,
13:17
his actions changed the course of humanity.
13:21
But again, he's judged, he's bound, and he vanishes.
13:27
Like Semgyaza, Azazel is not an ongoing force throughout the
13:32
Word. He doesn't keep appearing.
13:35
He doesn't remain active. His story has a beginning, and
13:39
it has an end. That's two names down and still
13:44
no enduring leader. Now I looked again at the one
13:49
who seems to linger. Satan, or more specifically,
13:53
Hasatan, the Adversary. This one is different.
13:58
This one keeps showing up. We see him in Job, coming before
14:03
the Most High and asking permission to test the
14:06
righteous. We see him again in the Gospels,
14:09
tempting the Messiah directly in the wilderness.
14:12
He's mentioned by the Messiah as the one who desires to sift
14:16
Peter as wheat. He's referenced in Revelation 12
14:21
as the great Dragon, the old serpent called the Devil and
14:24
Satan who deceives the whole world.
14:27
And unlike SEM, Jiaza, or Azazel, he's never bound, he's
14:32
never castaway. He's still active, still
14:36
engaging, still opposing the children of God.
14:39
So if we're asking whether the Scriptures describe a leader
14:43
among the fallen, an ongoing adversary who commands
14:46
influences across all generations, then yes, that
14:50
description fits. One being alone and the word
14:53
calls him the God of this world. 2nd Corinthians 4, verse four,
15:00
that old serpent called the devil and Satan, Revelation
15:03
12/9. That's where I'm going to pause
15:09
because now that we see there's a chief ranking adversary, now
15:15
that we see that there's a lowercase G God of this world,
15:21
now that we can see this Satan character, this devil, he keeps
15:25
showing up. And I have to ask, is this one
15:30
entity is the great dragon, the old serpent, the devil and Satan
15:36
as he just wanted? Is that the same Satan each
15:40
time? Is that the same devil across
15:44
all generations? Or are there multiple Satans?
15:49
Are there multiple devils? Now that we've seen the word
15:54
point clearly to a chief ranking adversary, I want to dig even
15:58
deeper. I didn't just want to know that
16:02
there was one, I wanted to know where.
16:05
Where does this adversary show up?
16:07
What does the adversary do? And what is the consistency
16:12
across all of these appearances? Does it act the same every
16:16
single time it shows its face? So I went back into the
16:20
scriptures and read through every single place where a name
16:25
like Satan, Devil, Serpent, Adversary, or Lucifer shows up.
16:29
I wasn't looking for what people said, I wanted the actual
16:32
moments it was present in action.
16:35
I made note of the book, chapter and verse, the scenario and what
16:40
this entity or entities did. I looked at the traits and the
16:45
tactics of each time I wanted to see what kind of being we're
16:49
dealing with. So let's walk through the
16:51
evidence together. Genesis 3 One through 5 Title
16:55
Serpent Context tempting Eve in the Garden of Eden.
17:00
What happens? He questions God's word, tells
17:02
Eve ye shall not surely die, and entices her to eat the fruit.
17:07
Traits subtle, deceptive, persuasive, manipulative.
17:12
Note no personal name is given, just the serpent and described
17:18
as more subtle than any of the beasts of the field.
17:22
First Chronicles 21 verse one title Satan and Satan stood up
17:28
against Israel and provoked David to number Israel.
17:32
What happens? He provokes David to sin by

17:38
The traits here instigator, tempter, invisible, and
17:42
definitely an influencer. Job 1/6 through 12 and Job two
17:49
one through 7. The title Satan Context appears
17:54
before God along with the sons of God, has a conversation with
17:58

18:01
He accuses Job of being faithful only because he's protected, and
18:06
he requests permission to test him by affliction.
18:09
Traits Accuser, Tester Destructive Observant Operates
18:14
with permission. Zechariah 3 One through 2.
18:19

19:09
the Latin Vulgate. The Hebrew is halal.
19:13
Ben Shikhar shining one son of the morning, Matthew 4, one
19:19
through 11, Luke four, one through 13.
19:21
Title The devil, the tempter, Satan.
19:24
The context here is temptation of Jesus after the 40 day fast
19:29
he did in the wilderness. What happens?
19:32
Tries to get Jesus to turn stones into bread, to cast
19:36
himself down and to worship him for the worldly kingdoms.
19:42
Traits manipulative, cunning, scripturally literate.
19:46
Often offers power, demands worship.
19:49

19:57
Jesus rebukes Peter, saying get thee behind me, Satan.
20:01

21:14
He's thrown into the bottomless pit.
21:16
The traits here are bound at last, held accountable,
21:20
identified by all the same names again.
21:25
And in Jasher 23, the title is Satan.
21:29
Context. Abraham preparing to sacrifice
21:32
Isaac. What happens?
21:34
Satan appears repeatedly as an old man, then a young man, then
21:38
a river to try to stop the obedience trait.
21:42
Shapeshifter, deceiver, and tempter notes.
21:46
Abraham recognizes him and rebukes him.
21:48
Get thee from me, Satan drew believe 17 through 18.
21:54
Title Satan Context. Same testing seen as Abraham.
21:58
What happens? A shortened version of the same
22:01
story, with Satan acting to oppose God's plan, his traits
22:06
still playing the same role. Deception, temptation,
22:10
interference. These are the records and these
22:16
are the documented appearances of the being or beings we kept
22:20
seeing across the Word under different titles, no matter the
22:25
name, Serpent, Satan, Devil, tempter, accuser.
22:29
Now that we see we have all of these instances, Genesis, Job,
22:34
Jasher, Matthew, and more, let's take a step back and look at the
22:38
pattern. Are these separate encounters
22:42
with unrelated entities, or is this just a consistent figure
22:47
moving behind the scenes? The situation feels too
22:50
familiar. We keep seeing this entity show
22:53
up during tests of the righteous.
22:56
We see similar strategies approaching the Lord, requesting
23:01
permission, twisting words, tempting, resisting God's plans.
23:07
Even the titles themselves match the behavior.
23:09
Satan means adversary, Devil means accuser, Serpent means
23:15
deceiver. These aren't just names, they're
23:18
descriptions of what the entity does, and if you line them all
23:24
up, it's hard not to feel like it's the same one playing this
23:28
role again and again. But we're not going to make bold
23:34
claims here without a foundation.
23:36
So let's go deeper into the Word and see if the Scriptures name
23:39
anyone who fits this pattern, someone who moves this way
23:42
consistently across a time under these titles.
23:45
Let's see if the Bible actually gives us a match.
23:49
Now that we've seen the titles appear throughout the Word
23:53
Satan, Devil, Serpent, Accuser, Tempter.
23:56
The question now becomes, do we ever see these roles connected
23:59
to specific names? Has the Scripture ever revealed
24:02
the identity to one behind them? Let's start with the very first
24:07
place the serpent appears. In Genesis 3 we see the serpent,
24:11
the one who deceives Eve and leads her astray, and twist the
24:15
words of God. No name is given to the creature
24:18
in the Genesis count. It's simply the serpent.
24:21
But later in Revelation 12, verse 9, the word says, and the
24:25
great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil and
24:31
Satan who deceiveth the whole world.
24:33
Revelation reaches all the way back to Genesis and refers to
24:38
that same figure as that old serpent.
24:43
Yeah, him. So the question must be asked,
24:46
if Revelation is identifying the serpent of Genesis, does the
24:50
Bible give us a name? Is there a scripture that
24:52
connects the serpent to an actual being?
24:55
Well, the Book of Enoch gives us that answer.
24:58
In Enoch chapter 69, verse 6, it states, and the third was named
25:04
Gadriel. He it is who showed the children
25:09
of men all the blows of death, and he led astray Eve.
25:15
That's our first name. The serpent in Genesis is
25:18
unnamed, and in Enoch, the one who led Eve astray, the one who
25:23
deceived her, is named Gadriel. This is no longer a title, it's
25:29
a confirmed identity. Gadriel is listed among the 200
25:33
watchers who descended on Mount Hermon, and in Enoch chapter 10,
25:37
he is named among those who are judged and bound for their
25:41
actions. So now we have our first direct
25:44
match, a being named Gadriel who fulfills the role, the exact
25:49
role, of the serpent. We'll pause Gadriel here.
25:54
Now let's turn our attention to another title, Satan.
25:59
This is the role that shows up again and again across
26:03
Scripture, and one name continues to surface alongside
26:07
of it. Prince Mistima.
26:12
In the Book of Jubilees we see multiple appearances of Mistima
26:17
always connected to evil temptation, resistant to God's
26:21
will, and direct opposition to the righteous.
26:25
In Jubilees chapter 10, Mistima asked God permission for
26:29
permission to retain a portion of the evil spirits so he can
26:33
lead mankind astray. In Chapter 11 verse five, he
26:38
sends those spirits to corrupt the lineage of Noah.
26:41
In chapter 17 and 18, it is Mistima who asked that Abraham
26:47
be tested. And is it he who carries out the
26:52
test? Yeah, very interesting.
26:56
And in chapter 48, we see Mustima again, now resisting
27:00
Moses and the people of Israel during their deliverance from
27:04
Egypt. He even tries to kill Moses on
27:07
the way. Mustima appears across
27:10
generations, always working behind the scenes to oppose
27:13
God's plan, deceiving rulers, leading spirits, and carrying
27:17
out tests against the chosen. Then we come to the book of
27:22
Jasher, chapter 23. The same story of Abraham
27:25
offering Isaac appears, but here the one who tempts Abraham is
27:30
not called Mustima, he's called Satan.
27:33
The text says Satan took on a different forms to tempt
27:37
Abraham, appearing as a man, then as an old man, then has a
27:42
voice in Isaac's ear each time he tries to stop the offering,
27:46
each time he fails and Abraham says to him, get thee from me
27:52
Satan. Same story, same moment in time,
27:57
same test, two different sources.
28:01
One calls him Mastema, the other one calls him Satan.
28:04
This gives us our first direct name, title, connection for
28:09
Satan. Mastema and Jubilees is
28:12
fulfilling the exact same role as Satan and Jasher.
28:16
Not just similar actions, but the same event.
28:21
So now we have 2 solid links, one between the Serpent and
28:25
Gadriel, and one between the title Satan and Prince Mastima.
28:39
And I'm actually going to stop right there.
28:41
We're going to put a pin in this for another time in the near
28:45
future. I made it about halfway through
28:47
the document I was reading for, I don't know, 20 plus minutes.
28:52
So that's pretty good. Hopefully you guys have a couple
28:55
launching points and if you're able to read the transcript, if
28:59
that's helpful for doing research or, you know, creating
29:03
notes for your own personal studies.
29:06
Yeah, that's a recommendation, but I'm just going to wind down
29:09
and kind of ask you guys to like, share and subscribe.
29:12
A lot of great things are happening and a lot of hard
29:16
times are are happening side by side with these great things.
29:22
And I'm just asking that if you guys have it in your heart to
29:25
partner with us, you can find those links in the show notes
29:29
and share these episodes. You know, really, I mean that
29:32
that's free to do that. It doesn't require a lot of
29:36
time, a lot of effort and just hit the share button and it
29:39
totally makes a difference because we get to find more
29:42
people that way. Seriously, if you guys seen the
29:44
emails and the comments and, and just the reflection that I get
29:50
from certain people that I've met and got in contact with
29:53
where this show has helped them significantly, maybe there's
29:57
someone else out there that only you can reach.
29:59
You can send one of these episodes, any of these episodes
30:03
to this individual via text and say, hey, take a journey, take a
30:07
ride with Rod and dig into all of this stuff.
30:10
And you know, it's been many years of doing this.
30:14
I don't plan on stopping, but I also, I'm really looking for God
30:19
to open doors and close doors and I have no idea what that
30:23
will look like. I'm just trying to be faithful
30:25
and just kind of failing forward through all the things, all of
30:30
the things. So until next time that I decide
30:34
to show up and read the other half of this document, you guys
30:37
will just have to wait. God bless and goodbye.
