"The phrase, 'twice ten thousand, thousands of thousands' refers to the heavenly host of Elohim's divine council. They are his holy ones, Sons of God who did not rebel." The brothers knew that "host" was a military term for a king's army of warriors. "Sinai was Yahweh's holy mountain in the Exodus, until Mount Zion with its temple in Jerusalem became the holy mountain." Simon's eyes narrowed as he spoke. "This area is known for the Seirim, the sons of hairy Esau. It is an original dwelling place of satyrs, goat demons of Azazel. Pan is the last of the satyrs and the guardian of Gaia, the Mother Earth Goddess." It was all coming together for Gestas. He tried to finish Simon's thought. "So Hermon is the cosmic mountain in opposition to Yahweh? And Jesus is going to strike down the 'hairy crown' of Pan, storm the Gates of Hades, and occupy this cosmic mountain as his own?" Simon nodded in agreement, and added, "And he will ascend on high with his train of captives, as any military conqueror would in a Triumphal Procession." "Grandiose claims for a man without a single soldier amongst his wild-eyed fanatics," said Demas skeptically."
