The Book of Ezra is a book of the Hebrew Bible; which formerly included the Book of Nehemiah in a single book, commonly distinguished in scholarship as Ezra–Nehemiah. The two became separated with the first printed rabbinic bibles of the early 16th century, following late medieval Latin Christian tradition.Composed in Hebrew and Aramaic, its subject is the Return to Zion following the close of the Babylonian captivity, and it is divided into two parts, the first telling the story of the first return of exiles in the first year of Cyrus the Great (538 BC) and the completion and dedication of the new Temple in Jerusalem in the sixth year of Darius I (515 BC), the second telling of the subsequent mission of Ezra to Jerusalem and his struggle to purify the Jews from marriage with non-Jews. Together with the Book of Nehemiah, it represents the final chapter in the historical narrative of the Hebrew Bible.
Ezra is written to fit a schematic pattern in which the God of Israel inspires a king of Persia to commission a leader from the Jewish community to carry out a mission; three successive leaders carry out three such missions, the first rebuilding the Temple, the second purifying the Jewish community, and the third sealing the holy city itself behind a wall. (This last mission, that of Nehemiah, is not part of the Book of Ezra.) The theological program of the book explains the many problems its chronological structure presents. It probably appeared in its earliest version around 399 BC, and continued to be revised and edited for several centuries before being accepted as scriptural in the early Christian era. [1]
Ezra the Scribe
Ezra, also called Ezra the Scribe and Ezra the Priest in the Book of Ezra, was a Jewish scribe (sofer) and priest (kohen). In Greco-Latin Ezra is called Esdras. According to the Hebrew Bible he was a descendant of Sraya (Ezra 7:1) the last High Priest to serve in the First Temple (2 Kings 25:18), and a close relative of Joshua the first High Priest of the Second Temple (Ezra 3:2). He returned from Babylonian exile and reintroduced the Torah in Jerusalem (Ezra 7–10 and Neh 8). According to 1 Esdras, a Greek translation of the Book of Ezra still in use in Eastern Orthodoxy, he was also a High Priest. Rabbinic tradition holds that he was an ordinary member of the priesthood.
Several traditions have developed over his place of burial. One tradition says that he is buried in al-Uzayr near Basra (Iraq), while another tradition alleges that he is buried in Tadif near Aleppo, in northern Syria.
The Book of Ezra describes how he led a group of Judean exiles living in Babylon to their home city of Jerusalem (Ezra 8.2–14) where he is said to have enforced observance of the Torah. He was described as exhorting the Israelite people to be sure to follow the Torah Law so as not to intermarry with people of particular different religions, a set of commandments described in the Pentateuch. Ezra, known as "Ezra the scribe" in Chazalic literature, is a highly respected figure in Judaism. [2]
Unholy Ez Trinity
Ezmeralda lunar female demonic forces has shown bindings along with Ezra and Ezekiel distortions in the grid, which generates a trinity of satanic reversal Black Magic structures that are also designed to infiltrate the masculine layers of the human Lightbody with Dark Mother, binding them into reversals and energy blockages through its Consciousness Trap.
These demonic gestalts are hybridized with AI programming for off planet control and manipulation of these assortments of lunar female forces, which run Negative Ego programs for Luciferian superiority complexes, Princess Code, delusions of grandeur, self-entitlement through astral glamour which blocks the energetic balance within the lightbody that is required for achieving the Solar Mary sophianic embodiment or authentic inner hierogamic union.
The Lunar Female Demonic Forces have been surfacing during the phase of The Great Transit and destruction of the Baphomet Network, thus they may appear in assorted formats; she-demons, Succubus, AI Demons, Black witches, Black widow programs, Giant Spider Beings, Black Skeletons, Bast or Black cat feline shadow creatures, Ez unholy trinity body parts, Black Lilith, Achamoth spawn and more. See Lunar Female Demonic Forces.
