THE GOLDEN OX

Judeo-Christianity always existed, but it was developed into an orderly and uniform belief system. John wrote in then gospel of that same name that Jesus was “The Word” that created all things. God explained to Moses, that He was always, is, and forever will be by calling Himself,  “I AM THAT I AM.” We use God’s initials as His kind, and the One and only of that Kind. His initials are YHWH or YHVH, depending on how it is pronounced: Yahweh or Yehovah, respectively. In the English the latter is “Jehovah.”

I AM THAT I AM is Yod-hey-waw-hey from the Hebrew letters that read from right to left:

יְהֹוָה 

The first letter, yod, usually a verb, is an arm and hand, representing the work of God. God is implied because of its position relative to the other letters — on a higher plane, as in “The Most High God.”

Hey is the second letter. It is just a sound as if breathing outward. Hey may represent the Breath of God. The next letter is the vav, or waw. It is just a connector that could mean either and, man, or even the Messiah. The last hey is silent as well, and it represents closure as in God is immutable; He is who He is. 

Given this information, God’s “kind” is merely signified by pronouncing only the Hebrew letter Yod or its sound “Ya.”  

The Name, “Jesus” is theophoric — Ya Saves — from Yeshua in the Hebrew, spelled as such: 

יֵשׁוּעַ 

Note the Ya sound in the spelling of Yeshua. The ‘sh” sound comes from the letter shin, and the dot within the waw changes the sound to “oo” as in soon.

The “a” sound comes from the letter ayin, perhaps alluding to Jesus as a “Watcher,” or Angel of God. The letter shin would be the object of the verb, yod, which signifies transformation. In effect the Name Yeshua means “born again” (John 3:7) since it means engendered (transformed) from above — the letter Yod.

Of course, like any letters of the Hebrew alphabet, they can represent either good or evil. Many of the biblical patriarchs have the letter yod at the beginning of their names, thusly implying righteousness as in Jacob (Ya ‘qob).

The goal herein is to make sense of the golden calf, or ox. Soon, you may see the “yod” in the golden calf. Let’s focus on one passage.

Aaron was the apologist for the Hebrew people; he explained to Moses:

For they said unto me (Aaron), “Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him,” and I said unto them, “Whosoever has any gold, let them break it off. So, they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf” (Exod 32:23-24)

They had created the calf, but they said that the calf had created itself. That was the first case of the theory of evolution which infers that all things came from no thing; they just appeared without a cause, a design, nor a substance.

At the first reading of that verse, we students laughed out loud. They had bought into the idea that the calf had created itself. However, most of us were taught at school that the world created itself!

Please laugh out loud at that as well for all things came from some thing, and that “Thing” for rational people is God.

That the calf gave itself a golden material image is irrational, and some thing had deluded them.

Now stifle that laugh. It may have seemed that the calf created itself. Perhaps they had been deceived. Could it be that the demon, Lucifer, created that image since angels can morph between the seen and the unseen realms? I submit that the people saw an illusion; that Satan in his invisible form raised the calf, and as it seemed; it had life within itself.

Yes, Lucifer does have power. The golden calf may have come out of the molten metal. Lucifer could have raised the golden calf.

However, mighty Power rests alone in God and the Power is in the Yod. First off, according to the Hebrews, the Yod began with just a dot, indeed a “Big Bang.”

 Think of that dot as the beginning, as in, “In the beginning Yod created the heaven and the earth” (Gen 1:1). Actually, the verse says, God, “Elohim:”

אֱלֹהִים

Aleph – lamed is “El” and hey – yod – mem is the rest of the story.

“El” is shorthand for aleph, and aleph is the ox. (More on that shortly). Hey – yod – mem is not really plural, but Yod as the strength of God; “The LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, “I AM the Almighty God” (Gen 17:1). There is an equivalency therein: I AM = The Almighty God… ani saday el, or el sadday wherein el is the Might of God and sadday the extent of it — Almighty.

God is “Almighty” with no weakness at all. Compared to the “El” (ox) God is infinitely stronger. Now more about the ox.

The pictograph of the aleph (el) is an ox. Compared to the might of an ox, the strength of God is without bounds. God is sadday, or omnipotent, having absolute power. The power of the ox is one ox-power, but the power of oxen is even more power.

For some reason, a team of oxen can pull more than the combined maximum load of each one when yoked together. Together, they overcome science, pulling more than their combined weights and more than their independent strengths. Hence, an ox represents overcoming the world in the sense that their combined strengths pull more of a  load than they should!

Three oxen yoked together, for some reason can pull proportionately more than the two yoked together. Unlike horsepower, oxen-power defies science! That is called “Potential for Synergy.”

One God in three substances is synergetic. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are yoked together in a Godhead. They pull together and as one “team;” they have potential synergy — Almightiness. The Godhead moved mighty mountains to shape the world, and God fused sub-atomic particles to make the atom.

To tear apart what God has joined, requires atomic power. [1]

Jesus was the “quickening Spirit” (See the footnote below). He was the “life-giving Spirit” that fused particles together to make all things (John 1:1-14).

Jesus when “unfused” was weak, so weak that He seemed dead. The Holy Ghost left the body of Jesus, and the Power of God seemed to be gone; yet when the Godhead was all together again at the Resurrection, He was glorified; receiving all His Power back.

That is how Almighty God is; He overcame the world (John 16:33), not the golden calf.

If Lucifer had lifted the weight of the golden calf, he too was strong. How strong? One ox-power if it was flesh, but it was a calf of gold. Gold is one of the densest materials on Earth (19.32 grams per cubic centimeter.) Flesh has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter. Lucifer, if he lifted the golden calf, had 19 oxen-power.

Lucifer was revealing his power to the Israelites if indeed the calf raised itself. The oxen-power of God is beyond measurement, so Lucifer would get sand kicked in his face, or actually gold dust. Lucifer’s strength, according to my calculations, is about 70,000 pounds if the ox was an ancient auroch, shown with a standard ox in the picture below:

Although the Power of God is without limit, Lucifer is limited, but he has a dream: “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High” (Isa 14:14).

How is the Most High God? He is “Yod” the highest letter among them all. The letter yod points toward the unlimited Power of God, and the lamed to Lucifer’s dream to be like the Yod. The lamed extends from above the other letters but descends into “Hell” as you can see in the lamed in the word, elohim, previously. The heights of the letters are part of their meanings. God is the Yod and Lucifer not even the lamed. He is the letter qof that extends below all the other letters without reaching the height of the lamed. The “qof” is the letter most often found in unrighteous words and names.

Lucifer does have power, but it is limited; therefore, he can aid in magic like the sorcerers of Moses time, but Lucifer, or Satan, is not omnipresent, nor is he in you, unless using a person for some destructive event, as with Judas when Satan entered him (Luke 22:3).

Now more about the Hebrew letter “aleph;” its pictograph is the ox. In ancient times oxen were the epitome of power. Mankind, early on, had to harness oxen because of the curse: 

Cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow shall you eat of it all the days of your life. Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to you; and you shall eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, till you return unto the ground; for out of it was you taken for dust you are, and unto dust shall you return. (Gen 3:17-19) 

Adam, if you remember had dominion over the beasts of the field (Gen 1:26), so Adam dominated the powerful beast. Adam taught the cattle to do the work to pay for his own sin.

There are many beasts of the field, and among them were the bovine kind. Bovinae is a sub-family of large-size “ungalates” (hooved animals). Among them are cattle, bison, African buffalo, water buffalos, and the four-horned and spiral-horned antelopes. Cattle or oxen (Bos taurus) are the most widespread species of the genus Bos. (Wikipedia 2025).

Taurus the Bull is of particular interest because of its power. In astronomy, the symbol of Taurus is the bull:

 

Figure 2: Taurus (ibid)

Likewise, that same picture characterizes the Hebrew letter el, or aleph. Not only is the “houses” of constellations named that, but so are other mighty things like the Taurus Mountain Range where the Ark of Noah perhaps came to rest in the country of Ararat.

Taurus is the bull, or bullock. Taurus, although powerful, can be tamed and taught. Unknown is what calf the Israelites built: bison, buffalo, antelope, or even a camel; but the most likely was Taurus the Bull. Whatever bovinae it was, it was a “calf “(‘egel) (Exod 32:24), indicating it was a young male calf — a bull, or bullock.

Possibly, because “out came this calf” according to Aaron, the creature grew.

Gold represents light. The Hebrew word means to shimmer.

Remembering that God made firm things from light, the Israelites were behaving like gods. They made the image of the calf, in their eyes, from light. They were surely attempting to duplicate on their own what God had done!

God had blessed Adam: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth…” (Gen 1:28). Adam, having life, was charged to self-duplicate. God had blessed Adam by giving him the Light of life in the manner of Jesus (John 1:4). It seems that the golden calf was to be the light of men, and not the One True God.

They danced naked around the golden calf. That was a carnal event — a carnavale.  Perhaps they were attempting to absorb the light of the calf for themselves to multiply. They were naked and not ashamed, as in the beginning. Soon Moses came with the Ten Commandments and most of them were ashamed when the Light of God from the face of Moses shined onto them (Exod 34:21).

The bovine creature began as a calf, and it apparently grew to maturity very quickly. Whether Lucifer empowered it or not is insignificant since they thought the calf had matured as they watched.  (Lucifer is the master of deception.)

If they believed that the calf could replicate itself, perhaps they figured it could come into them to make themselves more virile. Whatever; they were ready for sexual intercourse until Moses shined the True Light on them. If so, then the Ten Words are not commandments at all but the Light of God in their faces. The tablets of stone, for a time, outshined the shimmering calf and they were ashamed.

If out came this calf is true, then the calf overcame time and became a mature bullock, or they thought it had.

Both calf and bull are stages of oxen. Oxen were once calves and once bulls. Somehow, bulls do not have the strength of steers. The golden calf represented power. If so, then the bull would degenerate itself as the seed of Lucifer, the “Serpent” did with Cain.

Could it be that the calf would self- circumcise? Not removing its own foreskin but castrating itself to become stronger. The difference between a raging bull and a docile steer is castration. Castration tames bulls into steers. Could it be that the rite of circumcision came from the bull calf? Just as castration tamed the raging bull to learn and heed, could it be that God used the circumcision of the foreskin to tame us beasts?

Note, that some of these notions are not scriptural, but are part of the many mysteries of God of what Paul wrote.

Could be that although God (Yod) has the Power of the Ox, that the Israelites were growing their own ox, seeded with shimmering gold?

The difference between a calf and an ox is castration. Upon castration, steers grow immensely. Steers are castrated calves. Could it be that Lucifer was there with them castrating the calf. In other words, in common vernacular, did the calf lose its balls and grow bigger even though more gold was not used?

Castration makes a calf a steer, and education renders the steer an ox. Was their naked dancing a carnival or their method of educating the ox in the manner of the Egyptians.

According to AI Overview, oxen had great significance from their home county, Egypt: 

In ancient Egyptian religion, oxen, and more broadly cattle, held significant symbolic and practical importance. They were associated with strength, fertility, and even divinity, with certain bulls considered incarnations of gods. Beyond their symbolic value, oxen were crucial for agriculture and sustenance and were even included in funerary offerings. 

The golden calf was the incarnation of their god. They had rejected Jesus, so by then, the ox was the symbol of Lucifer, rather than the picture of Yahweh.

In a sense, the Israelites were killing God by removing the “El” from Him and giving it to the image, just as with original sin when the Image of God (Selem) in Adam was changed into the image of the Serpent (nahas) within Adam.

God is eternal; even Satan knows that He cannot die, and the next best thing is to diminish God by kneeling to another sacred object.

The Israelites had been blessed by God, meaning that God had taken a knee to them, but by making the calf, and sacrificing their gold; they were taking a knee to Lucifer.

Oxen at the time of the exodus were aurochs. They were mighty creatures, standing six feet high at the shoulder.

Herman Goring, the Nazi general, endeavored to make his own “golden calf.” Aurochs extinct by the mid-1600s, Goring endeavored to make his own aurochs in the Black Forest. It failed. Now, it is possible by biogenetics. When mankind ever creates extinct creatures, like the Israelites, great troubles will follow. The end was near for many of the Israelites and so it will be for those who tamper with the Power of God!

Oxen become real oxen when they are taught to work, either as one or as a team. The golden calf needed a team. Lucifer, so it seems, educated the calf and steered it toward becoming an ox. Just as Adam was to multiply, the ox of gold would multiply there in the plain.

In the beginning, the Light of God made firm things, as the word “trees” literally mean.

The ox made itself in the same manner. “Shimmering” translated “gold” became a golden calf — a firm thing.

In both cases, the process was quantum mechanics and Lucifer, “The Bringer of Light” would have been the shimmer. With the golden calf, Lucifer was attempting to be God.

Although not directly from the auroch of the fertile crescent, the yak is of special interest. It is still a living species in the mountains of the orient.

As I wrote in my book, Jots and Tittles, oriental culture seems to parallel the Hebrew in many cases. Of most interest is their gods, mountains, and such.

The “yak” is the Himalayan ox. It is a virile, hairy creature used for their crops and to carry their loads in the mountains.

 

Figure 3:Yak; the Ox of the Himalayan Mountains

In the Hebrew, the word “yak” has great significance. The word “yak” in the Bible is spelled as such: 

יָק yod – qof

 The letter yod is holy but the letter qof not generally so. The qof extends below the base and the yod above. The word “yak” seems to be dualistic, or inherently good or evil in the manner of the letter aleph.

The Hebrew word “yak” means “to be precious, to be esteemed, to be valuable” (Strong 2006). “Yak” literally means “other hand” in the Hebrew, so as another hand, that would be valuable. The letter yod is characterized by the arm and hand, so the qof (a circle divided) is another hand. Indeed, the ox is like another hand.

Himalaya is another high mountain. As I wrote in my book mentioned before, Cain’s seed surely was saved on various high mountains in distant places. The word “yak” is a typical common term.

The purpose if this commentary is to reveal that the calf of gold was an ox of some sort, and because God is “El” (the letter aleph), then the ox became the god of the apostate Israelites. Rather than the ox being the symbol of God, it was made out to be the symbol of Lucifer. It was a case of Lucifer claiming to be the Most High God.

Just for interest’s sake, my wife photographed a team of oxen guided by Mennonite children.
