Abstract This paper reveals the profound mystery of the Red Teli—Draco—and its usurpation through Balaam, the false prophet made king over Edom (meaning “Red”), whose sorceries constitute the very essence of the fall. Through careful exegesis of Scripture and the concealed depths of the Oral Tradition of Moses, we expose the dominion of the inverted Teli, the corrupted Mazzaroth, and the sorceries of Jannes and Jambres under Balaam’s red dominion. This study then reveals the true crimson axis: the Lamb of God, slain before the foundations of the world in the constellation Draco, whose blood redeems the angelic spheres and liberates the saints from Edom’s magic arts and domination. This is a call to ascend the true Ladder of Jacob—Christ Jesus, the Teli of glory—and overcome the red, black, and white inversions of the Other Side.
- Balaam Made King over Edom: The Red Dominion Begins It is recorded in ancient tradition that Edom, the progeny of Esau, appointed Balaam as their king. Edom, meaning Red, did so in full alignment with the bloodthirsty and rebellious nature of their forefather. According to the Oral Tradition of Moses, Balaam’s red sorceries, which had once been mere enchantments of divination, evolved into governing principles of Edomite dominion. The very color of Edom is prophetic, signaling a realm ruled by stolen blood, jealousy, and counterfeit authority.
Balaam’s vision in Numbers 24:17—”I see Him, but not now…”—was a distorted prophecy of the coming Messiah. Yet Balaam used this revelation not to bless Israel but to strategically curse them through idolatry (Numbers 31:16). In doing so, he captured the ancient heavenly pole—Teli (תלי)—and inverted it into Draco, making it the foundation of the cosmic curse of the fall itself. This Red Teli (Red Dragon) became the usurped dominion over Israel and all the saints. As it is written, ‘In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints’ (Revelation 18:24).
- The Inverted Teli Draco and the Sorcery of the Kelipot The Teli, as revealed in the Oral Tradition of Moses, is the cosmic axis connecting all constellations of the Mazzalot. It is the control center of the Zodiac of natal stars, determining all destinies of souls on earth. In its holy form, it is the Keter Crown of the Ladder of Jacob, the throne room rulership resting upon the angelic sphere of the universe of time, space, stars, and angels, and the nations’ Lev (bloodlines).
But in the dominion of the Kelipot—the shells of impurity—this Teli was twisted into the form of Draco, the dragon-serpent constellation winding around the North Celestial Pole. This inversion formed the basis of ancient astrological fatalism, enslaving mankind to the fallen stars and demonic spheres. The Wheel of the Mazzaroth became a prison, and the dominion of the dragon ruled from the heavens.
This is the “power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2)—the counterfeit spiritual government of the heavens ruled by Balaam, the Red Teli king of Edom. Through this, the blood of the saints is consumed by sorcery, and the souls of men are kept beneath the iron dome of the fallen firmament.
- Jannes and Jambres: Black and White Magic of the Dead Letter Jannes and Jambres, mentioned in 2 Timothy 3:8, opposed Moses not merely with false signs but through the black and white arts of the dead letter. These are the sons of Balaam, inheritors of his magic, who distort Torah into a tool of death.
The “black fire on white fire” described in the Oral Tradition of Moses is the heavenly Torah—its letters burning with holy meaning, its spaces glowing with divine silence. But when inverted by the sorcerers, it becomes black magic on white ignorance—the deadly legalism that kills the soul.
Their arts represent the sphere and Lev beneath Balaam’s Red Teli—the black (Jannes) and the white (Jambres), separated from the spirit of life, forming the base of the false ladder. These are the intellectual and religious powers of Babylon the Great, the very reason she is falling: because the saints have awakened to the true Torah and the true Pole of Redemption.
- The True Red Teli: The Lamb Slain Before the Foundations Revelation 13:8 declares the Lamb was “slain from the foundation of the world.” This Lamb is the true Red Teli, whose blood stains the Draco pole not in sorcery, but in righteousness and redemption. His crucifixion occurred in the eternal realm, in the heavens, long before the moon and earth were made.
Yet it is written, ‘With His hands He pierced the Serpent Pole’ (Job 26:13). This refers mystically to Moshiach Yehoshua, who on Golgotha, by the piercing of His hands, reclaimed dominion over the celestial order. When Moshiach Jehoshua was crucified at Gulgoleth, He was nailed to the serpent pole — the Teli, the cosmic axis — in the very place signifying the crown of Adam Kadmon, the primal man.
According to the Oral Tradition of Moses, the constellation Draco, originally crowned with divine authority, became the site of this cosmic crucifixion. Christ, the Son of God and Maker of the Universe (Colossians 1:16–17), ascended that pole of judgment and transformed it into the pole of salvation.
This Red is not Balaam’s bloodshed—it is the blood of the covenant, the DNA of heaven, the gate to ascend Jacob’s Ladder. Through this new Red Teli, angelic Israel rises, the Ladder becomes lit with glory, and Edom crumbles beneath their feet.
- Babylon the Falling and the Saints Ascending As it is written, ‘Come out of her, My people’ (Revelation 18:4). Babylon—meaning ‘confusion’—is falling, not by the strength of men, but because the saints have ascended into the true Torah by circumcising their hearts from the inversions of Edom. They no longer follow the dead letter of Balaam’s sons, but walk in the black fire of divine wisdom inscribed upon the white fire of holiness.
Each soul that clings to the new Red Letter Teli of the Lamb ascends through the angelic spheres, trampling the counterfeit dominions of the klippot beneath their feet. The Mazzaroth is restored to its holy purpose—not as a tyrant over the nefesh, but as the cosmic clock of YHVH, calibrated to the will of the Ein Sof for each soul under the sun. The Great Wheel (Galgal haGadol) turns once more under the dominion of the Christian Tzaddiq—the Two Witnesses, the righteous King and Queen of Israel in Moshiach—who, through union and righteousness, redeem the times and fulfill the longing of creation for the revelation of the manifest sons of God. For in them, the upper and lower worlds are harmonized, the 144,000 of Cosmic Israel manifest, and the divine order of Melchizedek is reestablished upon the sapphire pavement.
Conclusion The mystery of the Red Teli—YHVH’s celestial axis—has for millennia been hijacked by Balaam, the sorcerer-king of Edom, and twisted through the occult manipulations of the kelipot into a counterfeit dominion over the universe. His spiritual sons, Jannes and Jambres, weaponized the dead letters of both Torah and Gospel, fashioning them into vessels of red, white, and black sorcery—each a husk concealing stolen divine light. In this way, Babylon the Great has been sustained: a kingdom of illusion, feeding on inverted holiness, enslaving believers under garments of religious pretense devoid of Ruach HaKodesh.
But now, the saints have awakened. The Lamb slain before the foundation of the world has ascended the Draco pole and reclaimed it as His rightful throne. By the piercing of His hands, He shattered the dominion of the serpent and reestablished the cosmic Teli as the Ladder of Jacob—the true angelic sphere by which angelic Israel rises. His blood rewrote the heavens and restored the divine order on Mount Tzion.
And behold—the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 arise: the Twin Dragons, the King and Queen of Israel, embodying the holy masculine and feminine Tzaddiqim who govern in righteousness from the heights of Zion. They are the living image of the sapphire pavement and the Tree of Life restored. Through them, the Wheel of the Mazzaroth turns once more in holiness. The inverted dominion of red, white, and black sorcery shall fall, and the nations shall see the unveiling of the manifest sons of God. For the Lamb’s Red Teli is no longer concealed; it is lifted high as the banner of victory over all creation.
Amen and Amen. Let the Redeemed ascend.
