Month: February 2022

This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

The “trouble” spoken of above is from the Hebrew word tsarah, which we’ve discussed as the word used in Jeremiah 30:7 to describe “the time of Jacob’s trouble.” It is the foretelling of the tribulation, of which Jeremiah says, “for that day is great, so that none is like it.” It continues on, saying (in Jeremiah 30:7 thru 9), “but he shall be saved out of it. For it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts [Who is a man of war], that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king [who is a man of war], whom I will raise up unto them.”

In the title, from Isaiah 37:3, the topic is fear, because of which “there is not strength to bring forth.” Who is to be brought forth, far off (afar – now), is “David their king [who is a man of war], whom I [the LORD God] will raise up unto them.”

Jeremiah 30
10 Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob, says the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
11 For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered you, yet I will not make a full end of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished.
12 For thus says the LORD, Your bruise is incurable, and your wound is grievous.
13 There is none to plead your cause, that you mayest be bound up: you have no healing medicines.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity; because your sins were increased.
15 Why cry you for your affliction? your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity: because your sins were increased, I have done these things unto you.
16 Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon you will I give for a prey.
17 For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.
18 Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? says the LORD.
22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has done it, and until he has performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall consider it.

In Isaiah 37 it’s Hezekiah, the king of Judah, who is in fear of the Assyrians (communists) who are threatening Jerusalem and are poised to attack. Hezekiah means Jehovah is his strength, a fact he’s forgotten, which is His sickness, as it is also the wound spoken of above in Jeremiah 30.

Isaiah 38
1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah [who Jehovah saves] the prophet the son of Amoz [by His strength] came unto him, and said unto him, Thus says the LORD, Set your house in order: for you shall die, and not live.
2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,
3 And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears: behold, I will add unto your days fifteen years.
6 And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria [the communists]: and I will defend this city.
7 And this shall be a sign unto you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken;
8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
10 I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave [sheol – hell]: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
11 I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
12 Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent [see Jeremiah 30:18 above]: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night will you make an end of me.
13 I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night will you make an end of me.
14 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
15 What shall I say? he has both spoken unto me, and himself has done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
16 O LORD, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so will you recover me, and make me to live.
17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but you have in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
18 For the grave [sheol – hell] cannot praise you, death can not celebrate you: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for your truth.
19 The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known your truth.
20 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
21 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover [come to life].
22 Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?

The word “plaster” above is the one time used Hebrew word marach, said to mean “to soften by rubbing or pressure; hence (medicinally) to apply as an emollient:–lay for a plaister.” It is referring to its engineering, from ma and ‘orach, answering the question asked by Hezekiah in the final verse above. It is telling us it is by the LORD’s path (‘orach) and way (‘orach) that life returns; when the LORD raises His ONE BODY to life with His chosen king.

Daniel 4
37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways [‘orach] judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

Daniel 5
22 And you his son, O Belshazzar [those whose protection is idols], have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this;
23 But have lifted up yourself against the LORD of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you, and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine in them; and you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways [‘orach], have you not glorified:
24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
25 And THIS is the writing that was written, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: Mene; God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it.
27 Tekel; You are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
28 Peres; Your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

As previously discussed, the word rendered above as “degrees” and “dial” is ma’alah, which tells of the means of ascent and descent, as in steps, which is also the literal meaning of Assyria. As we know, Assyria symbolizes communism, and its final step in our descent is now when communists are in control of the sun and moon: church and state institution headed by communist Pope and President.

The number ten (degrees} means ordinal perfection, as in when something is complete and starts anew.

The following is the post from 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.

Continuing: the title is Habakkuk 3:13 and 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, where understanding of the knowledge 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 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 [see the prior post and think about it]. 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 comes up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops [the enemy that has come and why there is no life or fruit, and why the herd is scattered].
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; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, 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, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer 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.

The word is used one time in Isaiah where it is also translated as “stringed instrument,” in Isaiah 38:20, as Hezekiah speaks of the LORD’s salvation when He saved him from the Assyrian king and defended the city. This was Hezekiah’s sickness, his name meaning the strength of Jehovah, which was lost when his father Ahaz “walked in the way of the kings of Israel.” The context is Israel had already set up idols (abominations that caused their desolation) and brought in the devil’s priests (2 Chronicles 11:15), and Ahaz king of Judah did the same thing in Jerusalem (2 Kings 16).

In 2 Kings 20 and Isaiah 38 we are told of when the same Assyrians who Ahaz formed a confederacy with came against Jerusalem and Hezekiah. These chapters tell of when the LORD made the shadow of the sun return ten degrees back from where it had gone down. We know the sun represents the church, and its going down by degrees (ma’alah) tells of the steps of going into darkness, which are the ways of the ten kings of Judah that came after Solomon. The first of these created the breach in the family/house and produced the idols of Israel, and the last Ahaz created the idols of Jerusalem and Judah.

As we know from previous discussions, the shadow receding ten degrees is symbolizing the shadow cast by the kings which grew ever longer and larger the closer the sun came to the horizon. The shortening of it is Hezekiah humbling himself (as if kneeling) before the LORD, the source of the light, and causing his shadow to shorten to the place it was ten kings before him (Solomon). 2 Kings 19 tells of this reality and gives the meaning of the going back to where the breach occurred, for David’s sake: the sure mercies the LORD promised.

2 Kings 19
11 Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria [ashshur, a step – his foreign ways and ideas] have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shall you be delivered?
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan [to cut off], and Haran [and dry up], and Rezeph [as if burning stones – coals of fire], and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar [which were the eminent places of Assyria]?
13 Where is the king of Hamath [of the fortress], and the king of Arpad [those spread from there], and the king of the city of Sepharvaim [who multiplied from this number], of Hena [and were troubled], and Ivah [and became a ruin – ashes]?
14 And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwell between the cherubims, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.
16 LORD, bow down your ear, and hear: open, LORD, your eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which has sent him to reproach the living God.
17 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,
18 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
19 Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech you, save you us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD God, even you only.
20 Then Isaiah [who Jehovah has saved] the son of Amoz [the son of God’s strength] sent to Hezekiah [the one strengthened by Jehovah’s salvation], saying, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, That which you have prayed to me against Sennacherib [sin – the moon, civil government as the other cherubim] king of Assyria [the last step in darkening the sun – ruling now by foreign ways and ideas – but they are not the light nor will they prevail against the true light] I have heard.
21 This is the word that the LORD has spoken concerning him; “The virgin the daughter of Zion has despised you, and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
22 Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? and against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
23 By your messengers you have reproached the LORD, and have said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.
24 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.
25 Have you not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that you should be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the house tops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
27 But I know your abode, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against me.
28 Because your rage against me and your tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.”
29 And this shall be a sign unto you, You shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springs of the same; and in the [this time] third year sow you, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.
30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
32 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city [God’s heavenly Jerusalem – this place where His word is rightly divided and shows His glory and His strength], nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.
33 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return [go back where he was ten kings before], and shall not come into this city, says the LORD.
34 For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch [the eagle over the carcass] his god, that Adrammelech [the splendorous king] and Sharezer [the price of the fires – of confusion] his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia [reversing and then suddenly continuing the curse, the falling away from the light – as did Hezekiah]. And Esarhaddon [the steps beginning again] his son reigned in his stead.

Isaiah 38
17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but you have in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
18 For the grave cannot praise you, death can not celebrate you: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for your truth.
19 The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known your truth.
20 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments [ngiynah – because you have struck down our enemies] all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
21 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.
22 Hezekiah also had said, “What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?”

In these last words above the writer uses the Hebrew words ma, “what,” and ‘alah, “go up”, as the ma’alah, the step/degree when we will all rise; to ask a question not only when but how; which is answered in the following chapter. It is speaking of when the seat, house, and family of David would be restored from the confusion (Babylon) it was then about to enter.

The time of going up, when the sun and the moon, church and state governance will reach stationary positions from which they will never again move, is what is written of in Habakkuk 3:11 above. This is when the LORD comes for the salvation of people and his anointed, and with indignation and anger toward their enemies.

Isaiah 39
1 At that time Merodachbaladan [the sons of those who rebelled against God], the son of Baladan [those who are worshipping idols and calling them God], king of Babylon [causing confusion to rule the world], sent letters and a present to Hezekiah [the strength of God given as salvation]: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.
3 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto you? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon.
4 Then said he, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.
5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:
6 Behold, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, says the LORD [when the abominations {idols in God’s place} have caused total desolation].
7 And of your sons that shall issue from you, which you shall beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which you have spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.

All these have been taken from (given up by the leaders of) God’s people. This is why the LORD sends a soldier, who is also their comforter.

Isaiah 40
1 Comfort you, comfort you my people, says your God.
2 Speak you comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she has received of the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.
3 The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7 The grass wither, the flower fades: because the spirit of the LORD blows upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
9 O Zion, that brings good tidings, get you up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that brings good tidings, lift up your voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
10 Behold, the LORD God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counselor has taught him?
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path [[‘orach]] of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?
15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
17 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
18 To whom then will you liken God? or what likeness will you compare unto him?
19 The workman melts a graven image, and the goldsmith spreads it over with gold, and casts silver chains.
20 He that is so impoverished that he has no oblation chooses a tree that will not rot; he seeks unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
21 Have you not known? have you not heard? has it not been told you from the beginning? have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That brings the princes to nothing; he makes the judges of the earth as vanity.
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
25 To whom then will you liken me, or shall I be equal? says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things, that brings out their host by number: he calls them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one fails.
27 Why say you, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 54
11 O you afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with fair colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 And I will make your windows of agates, and your gates of carbuncles, and all your borders of pleasant stones.
13 And all your children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of your children.
14 In righteousness shall you be established: you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near you.
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against you shall fall for your sake.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17 No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, says the LORD.

Isaiah 55
1 Ho, every one that thirsts, come you to the waters, and he that has no money; come you, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Wherefore do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfies not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
5 Behold, you shall call a nation that you know not, and nations that knew not you shall run unto you because of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.
6 Seek you the LORD while he may be found, call you upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

Isaiah 56
1 Thus says the LORD, Keep you judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that does this, and the son of man that lays hold on it; that keeps the Sabbath from polluting it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that has joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD has utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For thus says the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keeps the Sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.
8 The LORD God, which gathers the outcasts of Israel says, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all you beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Come you, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.

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, (when He has struck down the enemies as if a stringed instrument.)

Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things you have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

Do you, those who’ve been with me for a while, understand the above is what you’ve witnessed?

As the LORD has led us to understand; the blind are without understanding; the deaf unable to hear the voice of God speaking; the lame are out of God’s way; the lepers those whose flesh lives are destroyed by tribulation; and in these states, they sleep in death. They are the poor in spirit, who by receiving His preaching hear God, are healed, raised, and see Him.

As we well know, these ideas are what Paul speaks of, to the Thessalonians, in 1 Thessalonians 2 as he first, in verse 12, as God, calls us into His kingdom. These are those cured and raised in Luke 7:22 above, in who (Paul says in the following verse, 13) the word received as from God, as it is, “effectually works.” The “effect” is the cure of the inner man, the minds of men, by which they then realize what Paul says in question form in verse 19, asking, “Are not even you in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at His coming?”

Just before this question, Paul asks another, in the same verse, saying, “For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing?” Our hope is that Christ would be manifested, realized alive in us speaking God’s calling, who when received is our joy, and His crowning us at the revelation of His presence. “For you are our glory [God’s glory revealed in us, by the knowledge and understanding of Him], and joy [that a child of God is born into the world].”

Proverbs 2
1 My son, if you will receive my words, and hide my commandments with you;
2 So that you incline your ear unto wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding;
4 If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shall you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom: out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
7 He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler [magen – receiving Him and His word are the shield of protection in the battle] to them that walk uprightly.
8 He keeps the paths of judgment, and preserves the way of his saints.
9 Then shall you understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10 When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto your soul;
11 Discretion shall preserve you, understanding shall keep you:
12 To [by the understanding of God’s way, and following His path] deliver you from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaks froward things [who twists and perverts truth];
13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness [the paths to ignorance];
14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness [the twisted and perverted truth] of the wicked;
15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward [deceive and lead into] in their paths [to ignorance]:
16 To [by the understanding of God’s way, and following His path] deliver you from the strange woman [the corrupt church which is unfaithful to God and His truth], even from the stranger [in their pulpits] which flatters with her words;
17 Which forsakes the guide of her youth [the Ancient of days], and forgets the covenant of her God.
18 For her house inclines unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20 That you mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Jeremiah 9
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perishes [like the flesh of a leper] and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passes through?
13 And the LORD says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim [men as idols put in God’s place], which their fathers taught them:
15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword [My word from My mouth] after them, till I have consumed them.
17 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Consider you, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:
18 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled [by the communists in power among us]! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.
20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O you [unfaithful] women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
22 Speak, Thus says the LORD, Even the carcasses of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.
23 Thus says the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says the LORD.
25 Behold, the days [have] come, says the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised [those who outwardly say they are pure, “but your inwardly part {heart: foundational mind} is full of ravening and wickedness”];
26 Egypt [the oppressors], and Judah [the current crop of {mis}leaders in power], and Edom [enemies mixed among us], and the children of Ammon [who exalt their words above the word of God], and Moab [whose mouths are the gates of hell], and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart [their foundational mind].

Friends, the sorrowful truth is the religious, (all) Christians and Jews, are following those who’ve led them into desolation. They’ve led them in the path of darkness, and now, refusing to repent, they call God’s people to continue to follow them, their same worthless misleading, into perdition and death.

2 Thessalonians 2
11 And for this cause God shall send [has sent] them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you [to His king into His kingdom] by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 3
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night [as now, when He is unknown in the darkness, the taught ignorance covering the word in the shadow of death]; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise [this voice of God], and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt ideas and ways taught by men and followed by those, by them, made ignorant] shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion – the foundational principles of the corrupt misleaders who’ve put themselves in God’s place] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent [seeking His will and way] that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].
17 You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.

The mass “delusion” upon the world at this time is unmistakably the COVID HOAX, the latest and greatest of the many lies from known liars who’ve told one known lie after another (only fooling the ignorant, and with feigned agreement from the complicit).

Likewise, and even more significant in magnitude, are the known lies in the church, false doctrines, fables as calves preached from devils put in God’s place, keeping His people from meeting Him as He prescribed. Among these (lies), they tell God’s people their flesh will leave the planet while saying nothing they do in the flesh will separate them from God. They, therefore, reject and refuse His calls to repent and come to the knowledge of God (His way in which is continuance of the flesh man, who is the temple of God).

Matthew 24
22 And except those days [in tribulation {tsarah}] should be shortened, there should NO FLESH [of the lepers {tsara’}] BE SAVED: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs [who remain in the world telling all to continue to follow them], and false prophets [false teachers who’ve led you into ignorance], and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive [who have deceived all except] the very elect [remnant].
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning [understanding] comes out of the east [as the sun rising of this New day, wherein dwells righteousness], and shines even unto the west [upon all who’ve come out of the houses of corruption]; so shall [is] also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcass [of the dead church] is, there will the eagles be gathered together [who by the strength God has given them, His understanding, they fly in the clear air of heaven: the place of full understanding].
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened [the tribulation ends when God’s people realized there is not light {understanding} in the church], and the moon shall not give her light [neither is there understanding in civil government], and the stars shall fall from heaven [and all God’s people, because of the darkness in church and state establishments, are without understanding, fall way from God – as Paul says in 2 Thessalonians 2:3], and the powers of the heavens [the powers sitting in the seats of God, resisting and opposing him] shall be shaken [so the wicked are shaken from them]:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven [lifted up, as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, and all who looked to him were saved from the serpents destroying all flesh, by venom rotting them inside:theirminds]: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn [when they realized they have been unfaithful and followed men who are antichrist], and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven [where understand was held, as elements, when removed from the earth] with power and great glory [of God seen in him].
31 And he shall send his angels [messengers with this word from the mouth of God] with a great sound of a trumpet [calling all to assemble in the ONE BODY of Christ], and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other [from the end of the old corrupt understanding, into the light of the New].
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender [I am the vine, and you are the branches], and puts forth leaves [new life to the carcass of God’s people, who were sleeping in ignorance until the darkness of winter ended], you know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise you, when you shall see [understand] all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

Hosea 4
1 Hear the word of the LORD, you children of Israel: for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood touches blood.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for your people are as they that strive with the priest.
5 Therefore shall you fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with you in the night [when ignorance covers all people of the world], and I will destroy your mother [the teachers who’ve taught you ignorance].
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children [you have taught ignorance, and they have thereby fallen way from Me, into apostasy].
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
11 Whoredom [following men that have put themselves in My place] and wine and new wine [the creations of these men, that stupefy the mind] take away the heart.
12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declares unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms has caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that do not understand shall fall.
15 Though you, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not you unto Gilgal [where their words cause constant agitation], neither go you up to Bethaven [houses of tribulation], nor swear, The LORD lives.
16 For Israel slid back [fallen away into apostasy] as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
17 Ephraim [God’s people in this generation] is joined to idols: let him alone.
18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers [against who I’ve been sent as a man of war] with shame do love, Give you [your tithes and taxes].
19 The wind [of their false doctrines] has bound her up in her wings [under which they put their trust and think they have protection], and they shall be ashamed [when their end is not as expected, because they’ve followed misleaders] because of their sacrifices [to idols and devils].

2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him [as I told you of in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 & 17, when the sleeping awaken, who are brethren who’ve been misled into ignorance by following the error of the wicked],
2 That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away [apostasis – apostasy] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [apoleia – those who as Reuben, put themselves in the Father’s place, who shall not remain {excel – continue}];
4 Who oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God [enthroned in the minds of men], showing himself that he is God.
5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things [in 1 Thessalonians 2:14 thru 16, who sitting in God’s place, killed Jesus Christ and the prophets, forbidding us, the LORD in us, to speak to those who don’t know God, who, as in the working of Satan, hindered us]?
6 And now you know what withholds [katech – holds you down, so you can’t rise to meet the LORD, in the air, in the cloud – on wings into understanding] that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets [katecho – who now holds you down in your falling away] will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed [the same wicked men spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 3:2 below], whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of his mouth [speaking through us], and shall destroy with the brightness [the full understanding] of his coming [knowledge of which these wicked men have made God’s people ignorant]:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan [leading God’s people into apostasy] with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our LORD Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which has loved us, and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.

2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the [this] word of the LORD may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you [received as the word of God, as told before, in 1 Thessalonians 2:13]:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable [atopos, who refuse to change their positions] and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But the LORD is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in the LORD touching you, that you both do and will do the things which we command you.
5 And the LORD direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
7 For yourselves know how you ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
8 Neither did we eat any man’s bread for naught; but wrought with labor and travail night and day [diligently seeking], that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work [seeking the LORD], neither should he eat [the LORD’s supper].
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies [trespassing into things they shouldn’t].
12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our LORD Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work [diligently seek], and eat their own bread [rightly dividing, discerning, the will of God].
13 But you, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

The word atopos, rendered above “unreasonable” when describing the wicked, is said to mean “from 1 (as a negative particle) and 5117; out of place, i.e. (figuratively) improper, injurious, wicked.” It’s used only four times; the other three rendered, “amiss,” “wickedness,” and “harm.” (Explore them – diligently seek understanding by the LORD’s leading, which is our communion with Him.)

The word it (atopos) is from (“a” reversing its meaning) is topos, meaning “a spot (general in space, but limited by occupancy; whereas 5561 is a large but participle locality), i.e. location (as a position, home, tract, etc.); figuratively, condition, opportunity; specially, a scabbard.”

This last aspect, topos as a scabbard, speaks of the place where the word of God, which is the sword of His Spirit, His working unknown, is rightly dividing His word, giving light (understanding), and to those (the atopos, rejecting reason) who refuse it, His wrath.

Paul, when speaking to the Thessalonians, only uses the word (topos) once, in 1 Thessalonians 1:8, rendered “place,” as it is most often.

Friends, this word is used by the LORD, by His unknown working, moving in men, by who He tells us of this moment and the “place” we make our stand, as He shakes the wicked from the “places” they possess.

1 Thessalonians 1
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost [the LORD working before you realized it’s Him], and in much assurance; as you know what manner of men [the way of God] we were among you for your sake.
6 And you became followers of us, and of the LORD [alive in us], having received the word [as His word] in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost [receiving Him into yourselves].
7 So that you were examples to all that believe in Macedonia [the houses of dead flesh] and Achaia [who are in tribulation, while therein these houses made ignorant of it].
8 For from you sounded out the word of the LORD not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place [topos – the place we make our stand against the wicked] your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing [because the LORD, alive now in you is speaking these same words He’s through us spoken to you].
9 For they themselves show of us what manner [the way of God, working unknown through men in who He lives] of entering in we had unto you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God [in us and now in you];
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven [coming with this word, in flaming fire against the ungodly who are speaking against Him and His work], whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us [we who’ve received Him] from the wrath to come.

This is the same entrance Peter speaks of, and the same wrath in flaming fire he later describes, of which the atopos (those in the wrong place, with wicked ideas and ways) are ignorant.

2 Peter 1
11 For so an entrance [eisodos – into the kingdom of God] shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and be established in the present truth.
13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our LORD Jesus Christ has shown me.
15 Moreover I will endeavor that you may be able after my decease [exodos – after leaving the old body {come to remembrance and out of the OLD body, which shall not remain}] to have these things always in remembrance.
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased [HEAR you Him].
18 And this voice which came from heaven [when we received full understanding] we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place [topos – this time of ignorance of God and His way: alive in man, working unknown until He is known], until the day dawn [the light comes and He is realized in his Son, who is the brightest of all the lights in heaven], and the day star [phosphoros] arise in your hearts [and His light which is life, understanding the Living God Himself is alive in you]:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost [the LORD in them, unknown to the world and working all things toward this moment of awakening by His righteous interpretation].

2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily [secretly, from their own imaginations, create lies] shall bring in damnable [apoleia – that cause them and those who follow their ways to perish] heresies, even denying the LORD that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction [apoleia – perdition].
2 And many shall follow their pernicious [aploeia – the ways that lead to their own destruction] ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of [as it is this day].
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned [fraudulent] words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation [apoleia – perishing, perdition] slumbers not.

2 Peter 3
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God [this same word of God] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night [as now, when He is unknown in the darkness, the taught ignorance covering the word in the shadow of death]; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise [this voice of God], and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt ideas and ways taught by men and followed by those by them made ignorant] shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Luke 7
29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, [the product of] being baptized with the baptism of John [and repenting].
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers [those saying they know God, as they] rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him [not repenting].
31 And the LORD said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of THIS generation? and to what are they like?
32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace [where men’s souls are bought and sold], and calling one to another, and saying, “We have piped unto you [our own songs, lies upon lies, HOAXs from which you must not deviate], and you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not wept.”
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a devil.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and you say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children [“I and the children the LORD has given me:” the republicans and the repentant unfaithful who have returned, who are those who enter the kingdom with me].

Isaiah 25
1 O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things [opening our ears and eyes, to hear and now see You] ; your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 For you have made of a city a heap [flaming as Sodom]; of a defensed city a ruin [as Gomorrah]: a palace of strangers [communists with their foreign ways] to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Therefore shall the strong people [You’ve strengthened with Your understanding] glorify you, the city of the terrible nations [those whose ways are causing tribulation] shall fear you.
4 For you have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall [tribulation against the “place” of our protection].
5 You shall bring down the noise [the voices] of strangers, as the heat in a dry place [where this word of God isn’t heard]; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud [from where comes Your understanding]: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 And in this mountain [Armageddon – the mountain of this prescribed meeting] shall the LORD of hosts [Who is a man of war] make unto all people a feast of fat things [this prosperous word of God], a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people [He will destroy the presence of the HOAXs and lies: the shadow of death covering all the world], and the vail that is spread over all nations.
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the LORD God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has spoken it.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 For in this mountain [from where the LORD declares His presence] shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab [the open moths of lying men, which are the gates of hell], shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swims spreads forth his hands to swim [rightly dividing the waters, His word, by his hand that rests in this mountain]: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12 And the fortress of the high fort of your walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

Isaiah 63
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where is your zeal and your strength, the sounding of your bowels and of your mercies toward me? are they restrained?
16 Doubtless you are our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: you, O LORD, are our father, our redeemer; your name is from everlasting.
17 O LORD, why have you made us to err from your ways, and hardened our heart from your fear? Return for your servants’ sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
18 The people of your holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
19 We are yours: you never bear rule over them [the enemies mixed among us]; they were not called by your name.

Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would rend the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might flow down [that the high places of the earth would melt way] at your presence, [Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what says it? The word is nigh you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.]
2 As when the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil, to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence [His presence is manifested in confession]!
3 When you did terrible things which we looked not for, you came down, the mountains flowed down at your presence.
4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, beside you, what he has prepared for him that wait for him.
5 You meetest him that rejoice and worketh righteousness, those that remember you in your ways: behold, you are wroth; for we have sinned: in those [your ways] is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 And there is none that calleth upon your name, that stirs up himself to take hold of you: for you have hid your face [presence – veiled only by the flesh of those confessing it is You speaking in them, which is Your way] from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 But now, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.

Deuteronomy 30
10 If you shall hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if you turn unto the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul.
11 For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not hidden from you, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that you shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you mayest do it.
15 See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil;
16 In that I command you this day to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that you mayest live and multiply: and the LORD your God shall bless you in the land whither you go to possess it.
17 But if your heart turn away, so that you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day, that you shall surely perish, and that you shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither you Pass Over Jordan to go to possess it.
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live:
20 That you mayest love the LORD your God, and that you mayest obey his voice, and that you mayest cleave unto him: for he is your life, and the length of your days: that you mayest dwell in the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

1 Thessalonians 4
7 For God [speaking through us] has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who has also given unto us his holy Spirit.
9 But as touching brotherly love you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 And indeed you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia [the house of dead flesh, where the dead in Jesus sleep]: but we beseech you, brethren, that you increase [your understanding] more and more;
11 And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands [diligently seeking Him], as we commanded you;
12 That you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that you may have lack of nothing.
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the LORD [speaking through us], that we which are alive [awake] and remain unto the coming of the LORD shall not prevent [rise before] them which are asleep [come out of corruption into His light].
16 For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, [which is] with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God [calling all to gather to Him in ONE BODY]: and the dead in Christ [sleeping in Jesus] shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive [awake] and remain [who aren’t fallen away from Him] shall be caught up [harpazo – pulled from the tribulation fires] together with them in the clouds [where understand is when its removed from the earth as the separated elements of water], to meet [at this appointed time] the LORD in the air [on wings of eagles, strengthened by His understanding and flying in heaven: the place of full understanding]: and so shall we ever be with the LORD.
18 Wherefore comfort [lead into truth] one another with these words.

Psalms 108
1 O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto you among the nations.
4 For your mercy is great above the heavens: and your truth reaches unto the clouds.
5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: and your glory above all the earth;
6 That your beloved may be delivered: save with your right hand, and answer me.
7 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will [rightly] divide Shechem [the burden, which is men word of mens ignorance], and mete out the valley of Succoth [these corrupt house in the low places of the earth].
8 Gilead [this mountain of God – this word of God] is mine; Manasseh [those who’ve fogotten Me and My ways, in which there is continuance] is mine; Ephraim [in My people in this last/first generation] also is the strength [understanding] of mine head; Judah [the elect remanant, the new crop of leaders] is my lawgiver [will freely give My word as I have given it];
9 Moab [at the gates of hell] is my washpot [I will wash them with these living waters]; over Edom [over the enemies mixed among us] will I cast out my shoe [I will take charge]; over Philistia [over the invading army among us doing the work of foreign enemies] will I triumph.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom [against these enemies among us]?
11 Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth [as a man of war] with our hosts [our army]?
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Revelation 16
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place [topos] called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon [the mountain {the place where we make our stand} of this appointed time].
17 And the seventh angel [the voice of the archangel] poured out his vial into the air [to clear it from the smoke – Revelation 9:2 And he {the son of perdition, doing the work of Satan} opened the bottomless pit {the endless falling away from God}; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace [the tribulation fires in the earth]; and the sun [church] and the air [all clear thinking] were darkened [made ignorant] by reason of the smoke [clouding clarity] of the pit.]; and there came a great voice [of God, through His arch messenger] out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done.”
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon [the confusion and mass delusion that now rules over the world] came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

Psalms 149
1 Praise you the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise you the LORD.
