In measure, when it shoots forth, you will debate with it: he stays his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

In measure, when it shoots forth, you will debate with it: he stays his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

In the above, Isaiah 27:8, the LORD is telling of the culmination, which has been the topic of our recent stream of conversation (or “debate,” if you will). The words “east wind” speak of a wind in our face, from the mouth of God, through His cherub, as from the place where the sun rises bringing light, which we know is understanding. They are from the Hebrew word qadiym, which is a derivative of the word qadam, “a primitive root; to project (one self), i.e. precede; hence, to anticipate, hasten, meet (usually for help):–come (go, (flee)) before, + disappoint, meet, prevent.”

Friends, today’s are the conversations with God, wherein He reveals Himself to those now looking toward Him, to calm the tempest: staying the rough wind.

I show you a mystery, which He first showed me. It is widely accepted that the beginning verses of Ezekiel 43 & 44 speak of advent: the coming of the LORD.

Chapter 43 begins describing the cherubims we’re discussing, the first verse telling of Ezekiel, the son of man, looking toward the east (the padiym – the east wind). He sees (beholds) the glory of God coming from the east (padiym – east wind), which is the voice of the other cherub. This voice (qowl) is said to be the sound of many waters (this word of God), and the earth shined with His glory, meaning His glory is the understanding He is giving, as the sun rising brings light to those who’ve been without.

The description goes on to tell of His glory filling the house (the family of God’s children), coming through the gate whose prospect (paniym – face) is toward the east (padiym – east wind). In verse 6, Ezekiel plainly says he heard Him speaking from the house, by the man standing by him, who in verse 7 speaks the word of God. The LORD goes on to tell of dwelling there, in our midst, where His throne is and where the soles of His feet stand. He says it’s a place that will no more be defiled by those (kings) who are as carcasses (dead bodies) misleading us. They are those who’ve committed whoredoms, meaning they have followed other men who put themselves in God’s place. He describes it as them putting their threshold by His threshold, meaning they’ve been teaching their ways of entering the kingdom while He’s telling of His. He says this is a wall between He and them, by which they’ve defiled His holy name with their abominations (idolatries).

Ezekiel 43
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east [padiym – east wind]:
2 And, behold [and I saw], the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect [paniym – face] is toward the east [padiym – east wind].
5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
6 And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcasses of their kings in their high places.
8 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.
9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcasses of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.
10 You son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
12 This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

Chapter 44 begins at the gate of the outward sanctuary that looks toward the east (padiym – east wind). It says this is the gate that was shut, again speaking of the word of God not understood, shut until the time of this ending. It says it for the prince who will sit in it eating bread before the LORD, and he shall enter by it (the opening of the word). It must be noted, in chapter 43, the word of God is water, and here in chapter 44, it’s bread (point to be made below).

The LORD then tells the son of man to speak to the rebellious house, saying “let it suffice you of all your abominations, In that you have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.”

In this passage, the LORD is speaking again of the threshold, these men’s entry, as devils in the sanctuary, misleading God’s people into following the idols they’ve created and put in His place. We know this is the pattern of Jeroboam, who “ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils [sa’iyr], and for the calves which he had made.” We know it’s done after the breach in the kingdom, to keep Israel from going to Jerusalem (where the LORD said he would manifest His presence, in the holy of holies, above the mercy seat, between the cherubims).

In verses 17 & 18, we’re told of those entering, changing their garments, and putting on the cleansed priest’s garments. As we’ve seen, this is what Zechariah describes in Zechariah 3, where the devils (Satan) are at Joshua’s (Jesus’) right hand resisting the LORD’s corrective work.

Ezekiel 44
1 Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looks toward the east [padiym – east wind]; and it was shut.
2 Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3 It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
4 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.
5 And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I say unto you concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
6 And you shall say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus says the LORD God; O you house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7 In that you have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
8 And you have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but you have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9 Thus says the LORD God; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
10 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, says the LORD God, and they shall bear their iniquity.
13 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the Most Holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, says the LORD God:
16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
17 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 They shall have linen bonnets [mitre] upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causes sweat.

Zechariah 3
1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand [as the powerful in the priesthood] to resist [satan] him.
2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke you, O Satan; even the LORD that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire [as in Jude 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.]?
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
4 And he answered and spoke unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with change of raiment [the garments of the purified priesthood].
5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
6 And the angel of the LORD protested [reiterated] unto Joshua, saying,
7 Thus says the LORD of hosts; If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my charge, then you shall also judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you places to walk among these that stand by.
8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you, and your fellows that sit before you: for they are men wondered [mowpheth] at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.

The word qadam leads us to understand the water and the bread together, symbolize what someone is met with, to show friendship and acceptance, as the LORD now meets us at the visitation.

The word first appears in Deuteronomy 23:4, rendered “met,” telling of who will not enter this congregation of the accepted friends of God.

Deuteronomy 23
1 He that is wounded in the stones [has lost his courageous fortitude], or has his privy member cut off [has lost his manliness], shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
2 A bastard [who has refused the LORD’s correction – Hebrews 12:8] shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
3 An Ammonite or Moabite [those who exalt themselves and their words and ways above God’s, whose ever open mouths are the gates of hell] shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD forever:
4 Because they met [qadam] you not with bread and with water in the way, when you came forth out of Egypt [out from under oppression, as now]; and because they hired against you Balaam [“not of the people’] the son of Beor [“burning’] of Pethor [“soothsayer’] of Mesopotamia [“Aram {‘high’} of the two rivers”] to curse you.
5 Nevertheless the LORD your God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing [the two rivers] unto you, because the LORD your God loved you.
6 You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
7 You shall not abhor an Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not abhor an Egyptian; because you were a stranger in his land. [These enemies among us, now ignorantly oppressing us, our countrymen, if they will be corrected, and learn God’s ways of peace and sustainable civilization, they will be accepted as His friends.]
8 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.

In this context, the LORD, in Isaiah 21:14 using the word qadam, tells of meeting us, in the Theophany, in our midst with water and bread. These are His wisdom prepared to endure through eternity, to be revealed and bring the fall of Babylon, the confusion that has ruled the world since the darkness came.

Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it comes from the desert, from a terrible land.
2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer deals treacherously, and the spoiler spoils. Go up, O Elam [eternity – where the throne of God is set]: besiege, O Media [in our midst]; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travails [to bring forth the prince whose right is the throne]: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure has he turned into fear unto me.
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and anoint [the prince who is our] shield [buckler].
6 For thus has the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion [remember Ezekiel 41:18 & 19]: My LORD, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
9 And, behold, here comes a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon [confusion that covers the world in darkness and the shadow of death] is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images [their corrupt ways and ideas, known lies told by known liars] of her gods he has broken unto the ground.
10 O my threshing, and the corn [the children] of my floor: that which I have heard [as this east wind from the mouth] of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
11 The burden of Dumah [of those who’ve been silenced]. He calls to me out of Seir [sa’iry – the high places controlled by the enemies {Edom} among us, leading us into destruction], Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
12 The watchman said, The morning comes [understanding comes], and also the night [also the ignorance is revealed]: if you will enquire, enquire you: return, come [return to the LORD and He will give understanding, freely as water and bread].
13 The burden upon Arabia [those covered in darkness since the sun went down – when understanding left]. In the forest [those thought to be upright] in Arabia [in ignorance] shall you lodge, O you traveling companies of Dedanim [double judgment – in great tribulation].
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema [this is alluding to Teman, meaning south, and what is in the right hand of one facing the east {wind}, the place of the Theophany, where wisdom is found, after it’s rescued from the enemies {as Edom} among us] brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented [qadam] with their bread him that fled [the travelers, who are come out of great tribulation are met with bread and water].
15 For they fled from the swords [of the LORD, from His mouth], from the drawn sword [in His right hand, as rays of light, wherein is His power hidden], and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
16 For thus has the LORD said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar [darkness – ignorance] shall fail:
17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar [darkness – ignorance], shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel has spoken it.

Below is a portion of the post from 11 February 2020:
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

In previous posts, we’ve been discussing the enemies mixed among us, those who’ve in their attempts, their plotting, to destroy us, unwittingly wandered, and misled sleeping masses who follow them, into imminent self-destruction.

We understand the above-mentioned “serpent” to be those whose poison is in their mouth, misleading through speaking ignorance, most often with malice.

Leviathan is the river carrying these words to the masses, who are represented as the sea. Leviathan is, as is Levi, from the Hebrew word lavah, meaning to twine together, as in to join as one. In this context, we understand Leviathan (and the priesthood) as the place where God’s word, truth, is mixed with error (sin), corrupting them (truth and God’s word) both.

The effect of this pollution is represented in the dragon, from the word tanniyn, which is rendered as serpent, whale, and dragon, all speaking of their wide-open mouths with which they devour.

In this we understand these words, the corruption of truth, as the underlying agitation, the seismos, causing the storm in the sea (the resulting confusion and chaos of the masses). It is into this stormy sea Jonah was cast, to be swallowed by the whale, whose even open mouth we’ve also seen is the great gulf (chasma) between heaven and hell. We know hell is the belly of the earth where the LORD Jesus said He would be, as was Jonah in the whale’s (ketos) belly.

As we have seen, this corruption of truth, the pollution of God’s word, by leviathan and the priesthood, is the cause of the darkness, the induced ignorance that produces mass confusion agitating the masses. The solution is simple understanding, the product of eliminating malicious and self-centric intent and with pure intentions teach and preach the truth.

In John, there are two times we are told of the stone “taken away” from the mouth of the tomb, John 11:39 and 21:1, both from the Greek word airo. This is the word we’ve recently discussed as associated with the words aer (air), oros (mountain) and ouranos (heaven). As we’ve seen, heaven is when the word is rightly divided (hell the opposite), separating the corrupt from the pure; the cloud is where understanding went and is held once it left the earth; and the air (seen in all these words) are ideas and thoughts, spirits, in the minds of men producing their words and actions (works).

The first time (John 11:39) the stone is “taken away” it is the LORD commanding it as a prerequisite for Lazarus’ rising from the dead. As we’ve seen, Lazarus in the English rendering of the Greek rendering of the Hebrew name Eleazar (meaning God has helped). Eleazar is the son of Aaron, who is the brother of Moses, both from the tribe of Levi and the beginning of the Levitical priesthood. It is through Eleazar the priesthood is raised up, after two other sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, corrupted it by “offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.” (See Leviticus 10:1 & 2)

The word airo is the word used many times to tell of the LORD coming to “take away” our sin. It is speaking of the work of the devil as what causes sin, misleading into error. Sins in ignorance are the stone on the mouth of the tomb, among the dead who are dumb and silent, unable to see and hear the LORD calling back to life and to open their mouths. The “taking away” of the stone comes by rejecting the strange fire these misleaders offer, once we have received and understand the knowledge of the truth.

The other time John speaks of the stone “taken away” it’s when the children of God come to the tomb and find it (the stone) already removed. It is taken away so they see He isn’t in there among the dead; He is risen!

1 John 3
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons [children] of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that has this hope in him purifies [removes corruption – with pure waters] himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And you know that he was manifested to take away [airo] our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins has not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that commits sin is of the devil [the misleader]; for the devil sins [has misled] from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works [misleading] of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.

Hebrews 10
21 And having a high priest [as Eleazar] over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [into one unified body, which all have forsaken], as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another [to join with the LORD]: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, [This is speaking of those who know the truth, and continue on in known error, maliciously misleading.]
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation [again see Leviticus 10:2], which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

As we’ve seen in previous posts, in the context of what brings darkness, the Hebrew word levyathan (leviathan) is in Job 3:8 rendered “their mourning.” There it tells of those who curse the day, the light (understanding), who are ready to raise up (leviathan) their mourning. The following verse then tells of the stars then becoming dark, and as they are looking for light (understanding) they are unable to find it (because of the mixing in the rivers).

Job 3
1 After this opened Job [hated by the world] his mouth, and cursed his day [by silence allowing understanding to become corrupted, and only in His troubles does he speak and search for understanding].
2 And Job spoke, and said,
3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud [where understanding is held] dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning [leviathan – the rivers of ignorance, mixed words, that will flow from his three friends].
9 Let the stars [his friends] of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb [who taught wisdom and knowledge, giving understanding], nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
11 Why died I not from the womb [in the belly of the earth]? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
14 With kings and counselors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;
15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
21 Which long for death, but it comes not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God has hedged in?
24 For my sighing comes before I eat, and my roaring is poured out like the waters.
25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me [great tribulation].
26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

The LORD then again, in Job 41:1, speaks of leviathan, saying He has drawn him out, not only so we would see him, but also so he would see himself, and be raised up again for the work God has intended him. It is in this same light we read Isaiah 27.

Job 41
1 Can you draw out leviathan with a hook? or his tongue with a cord which you let down?
2 Can you put a hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3 Will he make many supplications unto you? will he speak soft words unto you?
4 Will he make a covenant with you? will you take him for a servant forever?
5 Will you play with him as with a bird? or will you bind him for your maidens?
6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
7 Can you fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8 Lay your hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
11 Who has prevented [[qadam]] me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18 By his neesings a light does shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
20 Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
21 His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.
22 In his neck remains strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
25 When he raises up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
26 The sword of him that lays at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
27 He esteems iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.
29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laughs at the shaking of a spear.
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreads sharp pointed things upon the mire.
31 He makes the deep to boil like a pot: he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 He makes a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
34 He beholds all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

Job 42
1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
2 I know that you can do every thing, and that no thought can be withheld from you.
3 Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Hear, I beseech you, and I will speak: I will demand of you, and declare you unto me.
5 I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye sees you.
6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz [his god is wealth] the Temanite [seat of wisdom – the place of the Theophany], My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends: for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that you have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
9 So Eliphaz [his god is wealth] the Temanite [seat of wisdom – the place of the Theophany] and Bildad [confused about love] the Shuhite [which brings his wealth] and Zophar [preaching a departure {rapture}] the Naamathite [as he hides behind a false pleasantness] went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima [dove, warm, and day – reaching the expected end, and there warmed {enlightened} by the rising sun]; and the name of the second, Kezia [sanctified – separated for the LORD’s work]; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch [as the rays of the sun adorning the earth].
15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 After this lived Job a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.

Isaiah 27
1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
2 In that day sing you unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Has he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
8 In measure, when it shoots forth, you will debate with it: he stays his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
10 Yet the defensed city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off [the fruit] from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and you shall be gathered one by one, O you children of Israel.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria [at the hand of the communists among us], and the outcasts in the land of Egypt [under the hand of oppression – under a Pharaoh who doesn’t know Joseph], and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

Psalms 68 [added today]
11 The LORD gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 Though you have lien among the pots, yet shall you be as the wings of a dove [the sign of the end reached] covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon [over darkness].
15 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan [is fruitful]; a high hill as the hill of Bashan [fruitfulness].
16 Why leap you, you high hills? this is the hill which God desires to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it forever.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the LORD is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
18 You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
19 Blessed be the LORD, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the LORD belong the issues from death.
21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goes on still in his trespasses [refusing correction].
22 The LORD said, I will bring again from Bashan [by fruitfulness], I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea [from their lowliness in this world]:
23 That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same.
24 They have seen your goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
