But you are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.

But you are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.

The LORD begins today in the above, Isaiah 65:11, speaking to His people who “seek” Him, finding Him differently than foretold by the false prophets they blindly follow, they reject the remedy He prescribes. This dilemma is what He speaks of later, in Matthew 21:28 thru 31; in a parable amid His defining two distinctly different groups.

The Matthew passage begins below with His casting out the thieves in the temple, calling them moneychangers and those who sold doves. As we know, doves are most often used to indicate a sign of the end. Here in context, it’s specifically about the false prophets of our time who make a living telling people where to look and when the end will come.

Matthew 21
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,
16 And said unto him, Hearest you what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have perfected praise?
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany [the houses of misery – in tribulation]; and he lodged there.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only [this is the sign of the end the LORD tells of in parable in Matthew 24:32 & 33, when there are only leaves and no fruit, and He sends His angels with His message and understanding, to gather fruit outside the old nation and churches, to Him alone], and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on you hence forward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Truly I say unto you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say unto this mountain [the corrupt establishments of church and state], Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea [when the poeple realize these resposibilies {the whole duty of man, now when a “state of nature” exists] are theirs, and can only be counted on when trusting God the Father to guide us into them]; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive [God will provide a way].
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did you not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard.
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went [as His angel to gather the fruit].
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not [as do those sitting still in the old churches and state, depending on them to do the LORD’s work].
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Truly I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and you, when you had seen it, repented not afterward, that you might believe him.
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40 When the LORD therefore of the vineyard comes, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner [gonia – pinnah]: this is the LORD’s doing, and it is marvelous in [opening] our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. [Isaiah 66:8 Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such {a marvelous} things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children {her fruit}.]
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

The word rendered “moneychangers” is the Greek word kollubistes, “a presumed derivative of kollubos (a small coin; probably akin to 2854); a coin-dealer.” It only appears three times, all telling of this same event, which is in actuality telling of the LORD beginning His work to free His people from those who’ve seized and hold them.

As seen in previous posts, the prefix kollao (kolla) means to stick, as in whose word and ides a person has joined with and is thereby marked as belonging to (the mark of ownership). The context in this parable adds light to the LORD’s telling of His coming as a thief, against thieves who’ve stolen and hold what is His.

The word (kallubistes) is compounded from kolla and a derivative of lambano, forming a word engineered to also refer us to the word bastazo (kolla-bastazo). The words, in a multi-faceted means, describes the men (moneychangers) as those with who God’s people are joined (kolla), who seized and hold them (lambano), who are those who will be removed (bastazo).

These men, the “troop” and “number” mention in the title verse, are those Paul speaks of in 2 Thessalonians 2, saying they are those who “withhold” and “let” God’s people, who will do so, until they are “taken” (ginomai – until the fulfillment, when the word of God refreshes this generations) out of the “way” (mesos – out of our mists).

Friends, as Isaiah says in Isaiah 28:19, “the only vexation is to understand the report.” As we know, this “report” is the LORD’s sound “doctrine” taught, precept upon precept, line upon line. It’s also the “rumor” of the LORD’s presence manifested, which is censored from public mention by those holding down (katecho) God’s people with their lying signs and wonder, the working of Satan. This is the mystery of iniquity Paul refers to in 2 Thessalonians 2:11 & 12, speaking of these men who’ve seized what is God’s and sit in His seat opposing His “report,” saying “for this cause God shall send them strong delusion (the COVID HOAX allowed to take them out of the way), that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

The two distinct groups are separated into the those who’ve unknowingly found the LORD who is their salvation; and those who claim they are looking for Him, who will never find Him by following the ways of those who’ve misled them into desolation and hell. The dilemma is, the misleaders in the old reversed and totally corrupt world (Sodom and Gomorrah, in flame and ruin) are said to be the most upright among us, while inwardly they are ravening wolves, whose evil fruit is the desolation of God’s people and nation. Because of this world’s disorder, when the foundations are destroyed, when corrupt judgment rules in church and state, the Father sent me (into this “state of nature,” into the wilderness, after the collapse of civilization {without the protection of a rule of just laws and not the whims men}), declaring me His son, to judge the world as He justly judges.

John 5
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them; even so the Son quickens whom he will.
22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Truly, truly, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.
33 You sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that you might be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.
37 And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he has sent, him you believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And you will not come to me, that you might have life.
41 I receive not honor from men.
42 But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father’s name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
44 How can you believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that comes from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust.
46 For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?

When the LORD refers to what Moses “wrote of me,” among many others, He is today speaking of Deuteronomy 31, when we have come into this Promised Land. It’s after we have crossed over Jordan, the descent into death, by the words of men carrying there all the world. The LORD says it is as we now see, when His face (paniym – His presence among us as it is always) is hidden, by ignorance, the darkness, taught and encouraged by this evil generation. And now seeing it, none believe, because they have fallen into the control, the hand, of the foretold false prophets and false teachers mixed among us as angels of light.

2 Corinthians 11
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia [this time of the tribulation].
11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knows.
12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we [men in and through who a spirit is working: God in us, and in them, Satan].
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
16 I say again, let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
19 For you suffer fools gladly, seeing you yourselves are wise.

Deuteronomy 31
1 And Moses went and spoke these words unto all Israel.
2 And he said unto them, I am a hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD has said unto me, You shall not go over this Jordan.
3 The LORD your God, he will go over before you, and he will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall possess them: and Joshua [Jesus – Jehovah’s Salvation personified in the flesh body of the perpetual son], he shall go over before you, as the LORD has said.
4 And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og [warriors, the last of the giants], kings of the Amorites [who mouths are ever open, exalting their words against God’s], and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.
5 And the LORD shall give them up before your face [paniym, when His presence is manifest in you], that you may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you [see Matthew 7:24 thru 29 below].
6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD your God, he it is that does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.
7 And Moses called unto Joshua [Jesus], and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for you must go with this people unto the land [THIS LAND] which the LORD has sworn unto their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.
8 And the LORD, he it is that does go before [paniym – His presence in] you; he will be with you, he will not fail you, neither forsake you: fear not, neither be dismayed.
9 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant [these oracles] of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.
10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
11 When all Israel is come to appear before [paniym – in the presence of] the LORD your God in the place which he shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
12 Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and your stranger that is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
13 And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as you live in the land whither you go over Jordan to possess it.
14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, your days approach that you must die: call Joshua [Jesus], and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.
15 And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud [where understanding is held]: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door [at the entry] of the tabernacle.
16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers [among them] of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face [My presence] from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will [ignorantly] say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?
18 And I will surely hide my face [paniym – My presence] in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods [the ways and ideas of the strangers mixed among us].
19 Now therefore write you this song [these words meant to be repeated as recieved] for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore unto their fathers, that flows with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat [in prosperity that comes from following My good ways and ideas]; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles [this tribulation they refuse to see, because of false prophets who have risen among them] are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.
22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
23 And he gave Joshua [Jesus – Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh] the son of Nun [the son in perpetuity] a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore unto them: and I will be with you.
24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
25 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant [the oracles] of the LORD, saying,
26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.
27 For I know your rebellion, and your stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, you have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
28 Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.
29 For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
30 And Moses spoke in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.

Matthew 7
1 Judge not [because your judgment is corrupted by false teaching], that you be not judged [by the same corrupt judgment].
2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why behold you the mote that is in your brother’s eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye?
4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the mote out of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye?
5 You hypocrite, FIRST cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then shall you SEE CLEARLY to cast out [with good judgment] the mote out of your brother’s eye.
6 Give not that which is holy [your judgment] unto the dogs [men whose mouths endlessly bark out ignorance in the darkness], neither cast you your pearls [the treasures by which we enter God’s kingdom] before swine [because e they will take them again into the mire they’ve stirred, to cloud what is clear], lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you [with their twisted and perverted judgment].
7 Ask, and it shall be given you [by God the Father]; seek [Him diligently], and you shall find; knock, and it [the cloud where His treasure are kept] shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asks receives; and he that [diligently] seeks finds [Me]; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish [the life hidden below the surface of this word], will he give him a serpent [the deadly bight of men unknowingly slithering among us in the dust]?
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter you in at the strait gate [narrowed by misleaders who must be avoided]: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns [misleaders], or figs of thistles [misleaders]?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit [that leads to life]; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit [that leads to death].
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
21 Not every one that says unto me, LORD, LORD, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you [you are strangers mixed among us, with strange ways and ideas that lead to death]: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth THESE sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which [digged deep {diorusso}, through the lies, and] built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Isaiah 65
1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am [unknowingly] found of them that sought me not [but sought instead the creations of their false teachers and false prophets]: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good [but instead they walk in an evil and strange way in which they’ve been misled], after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoke me to anger continually to my face [paniym – My presence manifested]; that sacrifice in gardens [sanctuaries – places they’ve chosen for protection], and burn incense upon altars of brick [offer prayers to the creations of their own minds and works];
4 Which remain among the graves [remain among the dead], and lodge in the monuments [in the churches they’ve built to house the dead], which eat swine’s flesh [what is unclean], and broth of abominable things [the idols put in God’s place] is in their vessels;
5 Which say [unto Me], “Stand by yourself, come not near to me; for I am holier than you.” [This saying is an admission of their apostasy, apo stasis, standing, in rebellion, away from God.] These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains [have prayed upon the high place that have risen out of the earth], and blasphemed [vilify and demonize] me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom [the evil fruit of their own desolation].
8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sakes [in making the faithful, the elect remnant that has come out of corruption, out of confusion into life, a new nation in the new heaven and earth I create], that I may not destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains [My high place]: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10 And Sharon [those who understand what the LORD has made plain, removing to corrupt mountains that have blocked the light] shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor [those who’ve come out of confusion and its tribulation] a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have [after leaving the abominations put in My place, diligently] sought me.
11 But you [the “holier” than I Am, who remain among the dead in tribulation] are they that forsake [apo-stasis, stand away from] the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and you shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
13 Therefore thus saith the LORD God, Behold, my servants shall eat [the bread of heaven], but you shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink [these waters of life], but you shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice [when they reach the expected end, in the Father’s presence], but you shall be ashamed [shall not reach the end you seek]:
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation [sheber – the destruction] of [the evil] spirit [working in and through you, misleading into desolation and tribulation].
15 And you shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the LORD God shall slay you, and call his servants by another name:
16 That he who blesses himself in the [new] earth [wherein dwells righteousness] shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that swears in the [new] earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles [desolation and tribulation] are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 But be you glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: for, behold, I create [new heavenly] Jerusalem [founded on My ways of peace] a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 And I will rejoice in [new] Jerusalem [where my people plainly see and fully understand], and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping [the sorrow and misery, the fruit of evil misleaders] shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that has not filled his days: for the child [those born again into the new] shall die a hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old [those remaining among the dead] shall be accursed.
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat [as is the way of the old and corrupt thieves]: for as the days of a tree [the upright] are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They [following the LORD’s way] shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of [Joseph: Ephraim and Shiloh their king] the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together [all will learn the ways of God’s, which produce true peace, security, and sustainable civilization], and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock [the leaders shall not consume the flock]: and dust [the ruin of the old earth] shall be the serpent’s [those whose words are venomous] meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

The “troop” mentioned in the title verse (Isaiah 65:11) is from the twice used form of the word gad (#1409), which only appears elsewhere in Genesis 30:11. In Genesis it’s Leah speaking of “a troop” that will come, as she names her (and Jacob’s) son, Gad. It (the word gad) is from the three times used Hebrew word guwd, meaning “to crowd upon, i.e. attack:–invade, overcome.”

When understood in concert, these words tell of the two distinct groups, the armies of darkness and light, led by evil or good, producing after their own kind, leading into ignorance or understanding.

Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.

8 Judah [the leaders God choses], you are he whom your brethren shall praise: your hand shall be in the neck of your enemies; your father’s children shall bow down before you.
9 Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, you are gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet [speaking of the Davidic king line], until Shiloh come [the place the LORD first set His name – the name Shiloh meaning peace and tranquility – the coming one {Joseph’s seed – the one separated} from who it will again flow – see Ezekiel 21:27 and the overturning]; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

16 Dan [the judge – speaking of strength returned and the righteous judgment of the world begins] shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way [as a serpent raised as a standard on a pole {nec}], an adder in the path, that bites the horse heels [this is the heel bruised in the judgment, meaning the serpents among the people, are rendered without effect], so that his rider shall fall backward [so the body of Christ will return to the place from which she fell – see, in Isaiah 28:13, what causes them to fall backward].
18 (I have waited for your salvation, O LORD.)
19 Gad [the LORD’s army, overcome until their return to Him], a troop [gduwd] shall overcome [guwd] him: but he shall overcome [guwd] at the last.
20 Out of Asher [happy] his bread shall be fat [happiness returns when the word of God prospers], and he shall yield royal dainties [ma’adan – speaking of the royal line again raised up – referring us to its use in Proverbs 29:17, telling us this is when rest returns, when we, by correction, give the Father “delight”].
21 Naphtali [by this wrestling – unknowingly with the LORD] is a hind let loose: he gives goodly words [our tongue {the word of God} is loosed and we teach it as received directly from Him].
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well [a tree of life by these waters of God]; whose branches run over the wall [the wall of lies men have created and teach]:
23 The archers [ba’al – the gods of this world whose teaching has blinded all form seeing the Father, in the son, the seed of the women who brings forth the man child – see Revelation 12:17] have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of your father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies under [the deep meaning that lies below the surface], blessings of the breasts, and of the womb [seed, the son]:
26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors [all those who have come before us, and were only blessed with part of what is perfected in our return to the LORD] unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

As we see above, guwd is used to describe the evil army that overcomes God’s People, His army, until this end time, when the LORD’s Salvation (in the flesh of Shiloh, the prince of peace now crowned) comes to those who’ve waited from Him.

Daniel 8
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences [understanding the power of mass deception], shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power [but by the power of broadcasting, through a lying mass media]: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people [God’s people].
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft [mirmah – fraud, the HOAX] to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace [claiming they are saving us by destroying us, while we sit still, at peace as they war against us and we do nothing about it] shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut you up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
27 And I Daniel [the judgment of God] fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up [strength returned], and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

The word above in verse 25 rendered “broken” is shabar (the origin of sheber: destruction and vexation). It is the word Daniel uses three other times in chapter 8, all telling of the horns of earthly empires broken off, meaning ending.

In context, the word in the same verse, rendered “without” hand, is ‘ephec, meaning “cessation, i.e. an end (especially of the earth); often used adverb, no further; also (like 6466) the ankle (in the dual), as being the extremity of the leg or foot.”

These words tell of ending the “hand” from where comes the power of evil misleading, which mimics the power of God. It is “understanding dark sentences,” meaning the power of words to lead, which is good and evil seen in the fruit the words produce. It is obvious, seen in the realistic assessment of the earth’s condition led by the powers of evil, misleading and broadcasting, they have led the earth and humanity into inevitable self-destruction. They will never change course because they are self-deluded: now unable to distinguish between reality and the insanity of the mass delusions they’ve created. As Paul says, they will continue until they are taken out of the way (mesos – out of our midst). These are the sons of perdition who will not remain among us in the new heaven and earth, because they are those who, without remorse, have and do destroy lives and livelihoods (sociopathically) without care for the mass misery and destruction they’ve caused. These are known liars telling known lies, the army of evil who are for these crimes against humanity cursed forever.

This takes us to the final time guwd appears, in Habakkuk 3:16, which speaks of when Habakkuk understood this end when God invades the earth with His “troop” against the evil “troop” who’ve seized it.

The following, with some contextual additions, is from the post of 2 September 2018:

You went forth for the salvation of your people, even for salvation with your anointed; you wounded the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.

The above, Habakkuk 3:13, is preceded by telling of the LORD marching through the land in indignation, and threshing the heathen in His anger.

Habakkuk 3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk [taken by [God’s] hand] the prophet upon Shigionoth [those who have strayed into error].
2 O LORD, I have heard your speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive [quicken – bring to life] your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known [give us understanding – knowledge]; in wrath remember mercy [and it is so, My wrath is understanding, and those who forsake it reject mercy].
3 God came from Teman [the right hand (power) from looking toward the sun rise (for light)], and the Holy One from mount Paran [the cloud, from where understanding is given by the light seen in it – see Numbers 10:11 thru 14 & Job 37:21 & 38:34 thru 38]. Selah [think about it]. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
4 And his brightness was as the light; he had horns [rays of light] coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
6 He stood, and measured [assessed the condition of] the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow [all the place that have raised themselves up from the earth]: his ways are everlasting.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan [the houses of darkness] in affliction: and the curtains [separation] of the land of Midian [strife] did tremble [agitation as the product].
8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers [the means by which the waters of death flowed]? was your anger against the rivers? was your wrath against the sea [the people who became agitated by what flowed into them], that you did ride upon your horses [God’s people become His goodly horse in the battle – see Zechariah 10:3 for who the anger is against] and your chariots of salvation [the product of the LORD’s power raised in His people]?
9 Your bow was made quite naked [see Isaiah 52:10], according to the oaths of the tribes [see Genesis 49:8 thru 12, & 22 thru 26], even your word. Selah. You did cleave the earth with rivers [this rightly divided pure word of God, flowing directly from Him].
10 The mountains [the high places of men – see Ephesians 6:12] saw you, and they trembled: the [these] overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands [the light coming from His hand, where is His power] on high.
11 The sun and moon [church and civil government] stood still in their habitation: at the light of your arrows they went, and at the shining of your glittering spear [this word coming from the hand of God].
12 You did march through the land in indignation, you did thresh the heathen in anger.
13 You went forth for the salvation of your people, even for salvation with your anointed [I Am]; you wounded the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah [think about it].
14 You did strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
15 You did walk through the sea with your horses, through the heap of great waters.
16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he [the invaders] comes up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops [guwd – the enemy that has come, because of who there is no life or fruit, and why the herd is scattered {against who the LORD rises and send His army}].
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat [no furit in establishments of church and state]; the flock shall be cut off from the fold [defeated and scattered the ONE BODY, by the evil troop], and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The LORD God is my strength [He will, by the popwer of his hand, return my strength], and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet [and I will become steadfast agaist the ivaders], and he will make me [His raised troop] to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer [repeater of the words God has given me] on my stringed instruments.

The words rendered “stringed instrument” is the Hebrew word ngiynah, as fourteen times used word meaning a taunting song when used to tell of man’s actions, and of the LORD’s smiting the enemies of His people. It is used nine times in the Psalms, mostly as an epilogue as it is in Habakkuk. It is telling of the LORD striking the enemies as if strings of an instrument, and the strikes together form the song, a tune we recognize (as His way).

Psalms 3
1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But you, O LORD, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for you have smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongs unto the LORD: your blessing is upon your people. Selah.

To the chief musician, on ngiynah, (a tune we know as His voice, when He has struck down the enemies as if a stringed instrument.)
