That is a new and different way of viewing scripture.shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiachAll within the metaphor.
Indeed! Thank you for posting. He has some of this in one of his video presentations. This written version is much better, as you have time to ponder the information presented.
It looks like he wrote this soon after 911, now over decade ago! I can see he was thinking that an invasion of Iraq might lead to Iraq launching a nuclear attack against Israel; we didn’t know at the time if Iraq had nuclear weapons are not. As it turned out, they did hit Israel with a number of missiles, conventionally armed.
His revelation that the word commonly translated as “woman” in Zechariah, instead really means “fire” or “fire offering” was truly an inspiration from somewhere. It appears Zechariah, perhaps saw a vision of great weapon used against Israel. This may relate to the verse in Revelation which says, “6:4And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
IMO, the term “red horse” as used in Revelation refers to Persia or nowadays, Iran. It occupies part of the historic land of Shinar (mentioned in Zechariah) that makes up the Southwest area of the country bordering both Iraq and the Persian Gulf. Of course, similar to Rood a decade ago, my thinking is directed toward areas of possible threat to Israel. So we shall see.
No matter, Israel, based on scripture, could very well be attacked with unconventional weapons and therein suffer massive casualties, until God himself intervenes.

only in Leviticus is it mostly a burnt(fire) offering.
