Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

3 – 5 January 2025

Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

The word “heath,” in the title verse (Jeremiah 48:6), is the twice used word ‘arow’er, meaning “from 6209 reduplicated; a juniper (from its nudity of situation).”

The situation above, the wilderness (midbar), speaks of the desolation God’s people brought upon themselves by following idols men created and put in His place. These idols are today these (same type) men, sitting in God’s place, as if they are gods, teaching and preaching their own opinions, delusions they created in their own minds, making them their gods they vainly call by His name. And the church (the flesh body of Christ) died and went to hell under their (these devil’s) tutelage.

These men now use their same creations to argue against the LORD’s presence (speaking the love of His truth) here to save (rescue) His people from them.

The word ‘arow’er is from a doubling of the four times used word ‘arar, meaning “to [make] bare; figuratively, to demolish.” The word ‘arow’er, in the title verse, speaks of removing (fleeing) from the things taught, in this time of desolation, which are thought to protect (as a garment) from the corrupt elements: the cause of the desolation and what holds God’s people in it (from where He saves and rescues us).

Two of the four times the word ‘arar appears are in Jeremiah 51:58 (doubled), telling us it is the wall of Babylon “utterly broken,” speaking of the lies built upon lies that protect the confusion that now rules the world. In the title context, it’s the ways of Moab, a name we know describes the mouths of men (speaking their own creations), which are the gates holding the dead in death and hell.

Jeremiah 48 [as published 30 December 2022, with additions in double brackets]
1 Against Moab [those whose mouths are the gates holding God’s people and the world in hell] thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo [the false prophets of Moab]! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim [the serpent’s two dens – the institutions of church and state] is confounded [yabesh] and taken [lakad]: Misgab [the high place of corruption] is confounded [yabesh] and dismayed [chathath].
2 There shall be no more praise of Moab [the mouths that hold God’s people in hell]: in Heshbon [the strongholds that remain] they have devised [chashab – to, as planned, uncover the corruption woven into all truth] evil against it; come, and let us cut it off [Moab] from being a nation. Also you shall be cut down, O Madmen [meaning dunghill – the willingly insane as the excrement of the earth]; the sword shall pursue you.
3 A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim [the serpent’s two dens – the corrupt institutions of church and state], spoiling and great destruction.
4 Moab [the men and the words that have held the world in hell] is destroyed; her little ones [tsa’iyr – as in Isaiah 60:22] have caused a cry to be heard.
5 For in the going up of Luhith [tablets – in the exaltation of the word of God sent from heaven] continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim [the destruction of these corrupt institutions] the enemies [mixed among us] have heard a cry of destruction.
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath [[[‘arow’er]] naked – stripped of all corruption] in the wilderness [the place of desolation].
7 For because you have trusted in your [corrupting] works and in your treasures [ideas though valuable in this corrupt world], you shall also be taken [lakad – caught: snared]: and Chemosh [those who’ve subdued God’s people – an idol {oppression} of Moab] shall go forth into captivity with his priests [the teachers of corruption in the institution of church] and his princes [the corrupt misleaders in civil government] together.
8 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape [because all the major cities are unrecoverable – as the cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, and the others cities didn’t escape]: the valley [the corrupt low places] also shall perish, and the plain [what they say they understand] shall be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.
9 Give wings [strength by understanding these things] unto Moab [that her prisoners may escape from her fires into heaven: into full understanding], that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any [except those choosing death] to dwell therein.
10 Cursed be he that does the work of the LORD [in His name] deceitfully, and cursed be he that keeps back his sword [this word from the mouth of God] from blood [from those draining life from humanity at large].
11 Moab [these men and the institutions they control have been unchallenged] has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees [thinking they are untouchable because of their positions of power], and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel [they haven’t emptied, purged, their corruption and returned to purity], neither has he gone into captivity [haven’t submitted to the LORD’s dominion]: therefore his taste [bitterness] remained in him [in the waters, words, of his vessel], and his scent [of death, unseen but sensed present] is not changed.
12 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers [tsa’ah – to tip over, so what is in them pours out], that shall cause him to wander [tsa’ah – that will tip them so all that is hidden in their bitterness is seen], and [all those they now attack and try to censor – from Elon to Alex Jones] shall empty his [the wicked’s] vessels, and break their bottles [the organizations from where comes their bitterness].
13 And Moab [the mouth of men, the gates of hell] shall be ashamed [disappointed, not reaching the end they sought] of Chemosh [those who’ve subdued God’s people – an idol {oppression} of Moab], as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel [as God’s family is her idols, the calves, and devils, they put in His place] their confidence [creations of men who led them, who told them these were their gods who would deliver them, before which they became desolated and went into captivity beyond Babylon: beyond confusion into delusion].
14 How say you, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
15 Moab [the mouths of men, the gates of hell] is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hastens fast [as the LORD said it would, in His time – as in Isaiah 60:22].

The following, ending with Jeremiah 8, preceded Jeremiah 48 in the same above-mentioned previous post.

26 – 30 December 2022

A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction. Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

The LORD begins today, above in Jeremiah 48:3 & 4, describing the two dens of the serpent (Horonaim), from where the crying comes. It describes church and state institutions, from where the devil (misleading with corrupt and caustic policy) is spoiling and destroying those who listen to the false prophets (Nebo) he possesses. These men’s voices are the gates (Moab) holding the nation and the world in hell: in darkness, ignorance, confusion, delusion, and the now open insanity that can’t distinguish between the reality they’re experiencing and the delusions created by these deceivers (planao – wandering stars) in power (the obvious, self-evident instances are too numerous to name, and growing more insane daily).

The voice of “crying” is from the twenty-one times used Hebrew word tsa’aqah, which is crying (to God) by those oppressed by evil in power. The first two times it appears, in Genesis 18:21 & 19:13, it is speaking of the cries [[of Lot]] heard from Sodom (flames) and Gomorrah (ruin), from those in torment come from accepting, adopting, and normalizing degenerate evil as their foundation.

As previously discussed, Peter, in 2 Peter 2, speaks of these cities’ overthrow and Lot being the only man delivered from their destruction. He says his (Lot’s) deliverance is from the “filthy conversation” of the wicked who vexed him daily.

2 Peter 2
6 And turning the cities of Sodom [in flame] and Gomorrah [in ruin] into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation [anastrophe – the evil behavior of those acting out a corrupt foundation] of the wicked [which marks them in head and hand: in ideas and works, as evil]:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The LORD knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government [God’s dominion]. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities [doxa – the LORD’s glory revealed].

As we know, the wicked he speaks of are the false teachers among us who’ve produced and now defend the corrupt foundation, who he describes as the sons of perdition (destined to perish) in the fires created by following their ideas and works (false teaching and false prophesying intended to further delude the minds of the now insane).

2 Peter 1
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, until the day dawn, and the day star [phosphoros] arise in your hearts [changing the foundations of your mind]:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy [propheteia – things spoken before, later seen as the Father’s glory in {the crown on the head of} those through whom He spoke and in those through whom He reveals the mysteries held therein] of the scripture is of any private [of men’s] 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, for which the mysteries are reserved].

2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily [from their own private imaginations, create lies, interpretations, they claim God said] shall bring in damnable [apoleia – that cause them and those who follow their ways to perish] heresies, even denying the LORD that bought them [even with Him present long-suffering their contradictions: lying vanities by which they reject His grace and mercy], and bring upon themselves swift destruction [apoleia – perdition].
2 And many shall follow their pernicious [apoleia – 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.

The word that appears twice in Jeremiah 48:1, rendered “confounded,” speaking of how these wicked men are taken and dismayed, is yabesh, meaning “to be ashamed, confused or disappointed; also (as failing) to dry up (as water) or wither (as herbage).” This is the same word, in Isaiah 40:7, 8, & 24, used to tell of these men as grass that “withers,” and the flower that fades, when the LORD blows upon them and the whirlwind (His Almighty Spirit) takes them away. As seen in the previous post, this occurs at the preaching (as by John) of repentance from dead works, which prepares the way for the LORD to be revealed among us in the flesh (of His ONE and only BODY).

The word there (in Jeremiah 48:1) rendered “taken” is lakad, meaning “to catch (in a net, trap or pit); generally, to capture or occupy; also to choose (by lot); figuratively, to cohere.” It is speaking of the epiphany, when the elements of understanding have again coalesced into full understanding (of the time and season: thereby the experience). It (lakad) is the word used in Isaiah 28:13, speaking of the LORD’s teaching coming (in elements), “precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken [lakad].”

The word “dismayed” is chathath, meaning “to prostrate; hence, to break down, either (literally) by violence, or (figuratively) by confusion and fear.” In these two words (lakad & chathath), the LORD refers to their axiomatic appearance together in Jeremiah 8:9.

Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, says the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem [all the dead who don’t know they are the dead], out of their graves:
2 And they shall spread them before the sun [the corrupt and thereby ignorant churches], and the moon [civil governments equally as corrupt and ignorant], and all the host of heaven [all God’s people in who light should be but isn’t], whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered [into My ONE BODY], nor be buried [because they are the wicked: the dead alive in the flesh on the earth]; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3 And death [to remain corrupt and ignorant] shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that [refusing to receive the light] remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them [into self-inflicted insanity, not able to distinguish between this reality and their created delusions], says the LORD of hosts.
4 Moreover you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return [from following the wicked into corruption].
6 I hearkened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? everyone turned to his course [his own way], as the horse rushes into the battle [to hasten their own end].
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times [of the birth of the children]; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time [season] of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8 How do you [who say you know times and seasons] say, “We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made He it [the word sent to give you understanding you say you have but don’t]; the pen of the scribes [this writing of the LORD] is in vain [worthless].”
9 The wise men are ashamed [when their words are found to be worthless], they are dismayed [chathath] and taken [lakad]: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore will I give their wives [those who follow them as leaders and protectors] unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them [to the heirs of salvation who’ve received this word as the word of God, which it is]: for everyone from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest everyone deals falsely.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace [be at ease and rest securely in your lies]; when there is no peace [while they do nothing to combat the enemies mixed among you, who are at war with you, to destroy you, this nation, and the world, by destroying our better Christian culture].
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abominations [the creations these misleaders put in God’s place, destroying all truth]? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall [and will not rise again into life]: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – now, when He is present as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall be cast down [into hell they’ve chosen], says the LORD.

Jeremiah 51 [as published 30 April 2024]
41 How is Sheshach [Babylon; against which the trumpet sounds calling all God’s people against her confusion] taken [in their own ignorance of the time of their visitation]![?] and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised![?] how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations [those who haven’t known the forever present LORD]![?]
42 [the answer is] The sea [God’s people: humanity awakened to this time] is come up [risen] upon Babylon [against the confusion that now rules the world]: she is covered with the multitude of the waves [of those rising] thereof.
43 Her cities are a desolation [as they are], a dry land [without this word of God in her misleaders and deceivers], and a wilderness [without life], a land [‘erets – the earth] wherein no man dwells [yashab – remains], neither does any son of man pass [‘abar] thereby [none among her Passover from death into life].
44 And I will punish [paqad – visit as the Chief Overseer of the earth] Bel [their kings as idols, wicked, men who think themselves gods] in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth [those they possessed by their words] that which he has swallowed up [into the belly of hell]: and the nations [the sea of those who haven’t known My presence] shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall [of protection, the lies and deception with which they control those they made ignorant] of Babylon shall fall.
45 My people, go you out of the midst of her, and deliver you every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
46 And lest your heart [minds] faint, and you fear for the rumor [shmuw’ah – {shama’ Yahh} this voice of Jehovah, His report, obeyed by those hearing Him, knowing it is His presence with us in us] that shall be heard [shama’ – and obeyed] in the land [‘erets – the earth]; a rumor [shmuw’ah – His long-suffering voice, heard and obeyed by One, His first begotten, I Am] shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumor [shmuw’ah – His voice heard by the elect and obeyed], and [against the] violence [chamac – ill-gotten gain and injustice perpetrated by the wicked in power] in the land [‘erets – in the earth], ruler [mashal] against ruler [mashal].
47 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment [paqad – visit as the Chief Overseer of the earth] upon the graven images [these rulers as idols they worship and follow] of Babylon: and her whole land [‘erets – her old and now totally corrupt earth] shall be confounded [be disappointed and shamed when the end they sought isn’t reached], and all her slain [by follow her confusion now turned mass insanity] shall fall in the midst of her.
48 Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for [repeating these words with me, as received from the voice of the LORD’s presence with us, in us, against the confusion wrought by] Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north [out of darkness, out of confusion they departed, into the light], says the LORD.
49 As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth [‘erets].
50 You that have [by receiving this word as His] escaped [paliyt] the sword, go away, stand not still: remember [zakar] the LORD afar off [rachowq – this time when the earth is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men who think themselves gods], and let [New Heavenly] Jerusalem come into your mind [into which My ways of sustainable peace have flowed].
51 We [God’s people to whom the LORD has come unknown as a thief in the night] are confounded, because we have heard [shama’ – obeyed] reproach [cherpah – men who’ve tried to disgrace me]: shame has covered our faces: for strangers [those who haven’t known the LORD or His way] are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’s house.
52 Wherefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will do judgment [paqad – come as I have, unknown as the Paraclete, the Chief Overseer of the earth] upon her [the men in My house who’ve warred against me] graven images [the idols they worship]: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, says the LORD.
54 A sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and great destruction from the land [‘erets – the earth] of the Chaldeans:
55 Because the LORD has spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice [of the deceivers and misleaders of the earth]; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows [with which they fire their lies and false accusation] is broken: for the LORD God of recompense shall surely requite.
57 And I will make drunk [make their minds not work as designed, by their own ignorance and insanity] her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war].
58 Thus says the LORD of hosts; The broad walls [of lies and deception, which they think is their protection] of Babylon shall be utterly [[‘arar]] broken [[‘arar]], and her high gates [[of hell, the voices of confusion]] shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labor in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary [and sleep in hell, forever held there by their own incorrigible minds].
59 The word which Jeremiah [Jehovah rising] the prophet commanded Seraiah [Yahh has prevailed] the son of Neriah [by the light of Yahh], the son of Maaseiah [and he is the refuge Yahh has given us], when he went with Zedekiah [the righteousness of Yahh] the king of Judah [ruling through those who rule with Him as He dwells in us] into Babylon [here among the wicked who remain asleep in the hell they’ve created and choose] the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah [through whom Yahh prevailed] was [is] a quiet [mnuchah – peaceful, what rest? the rest we have waited for] prince [I Am, in Shiloh].

Friends, the LORD sent me to war here to exalt His now ONE voice above all other voices (which hold His people apart from Him, here in death and hell). The morbidly religious and powerful refuse to acknowledge Him because they are offended by the flesh He’s chosen (I Am). Their rejection does not affect me or those who do receive Him and the son(s) He’s chosen.

Matthew 11
23 And you, Capernaum [to whom the Comforter has come, speaking and working unknown in their ignorance], which [to men whose words] are exalted unto heaven [saying you have your own understanding, your covenant with death, your agreement with hell], shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent [corrupted by the world], and have revealed them unto babes [who willingly receive these treasures].
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden [by the words of evil men], and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light [double meaning intended].

1 Corinthians 9
23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you [in the same ONE BODY, the LORD’s family].
24 Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receive the prize? So run, that you may obtain.
25 And every man that strives for the mastery [agonizomai – wars against corruption, to exalt this word of God above all other voices] is temperate [self-restrained] in all things. Now, they [the corrupt] do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we do it for an incorruptible one [which is understanding the Father alone gives His children].

Isaiah 8
7 Now, therefore, behold, the LORD brings [brought] up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria [the communist attack against church and state, with word of death, leading our nation and people into self-destruction], and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8 And he shall pass through Judah [against the leaders of God’s people]; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck [they with their words prevailed and stopped the word of God from ever reaching the mouth of any]; and the stretching out of his wings [their voice exalted above all voices] shall fill the breadth of your land, [against whom the LORD comes, manifesting His presence with us] O Immanuel [‘Immanuw ‘el].
9 Associate [corrupt] yourselves, O you people, and you shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you of far countries [merchaq ‘erets – the earth in this time appointed and decreed by the LORD]: gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together [speaking worthless ignorance against the present LORD], and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God [‘el] is with us [‘immanuw].
11 For the LORD spoke thus to me [I Am, His man of war] with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, [He] saying [to me],
12 “Say you not, ‘A confederacy [joined with the ignorant and corrupt],’ to all them to whom this people shall say, ‘A confederacy [of the corrupt];’ neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify the LORD [declare the present LORD Holy, exalt His one voice from His holy one] of hosts [a man of war] himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 And he [in His presence] shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel [his people who reject Him], for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem [who refuse to receive the peace that flows from His chosen one].
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken [lakad], and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony [this word of Shiloh, of peace flowing from the LORD’s chosen flesh], seal the law among my disciples [My students, who see as I see].”
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides [Cathar – hides in men’s chosen ignorance] his face [paniym – His presence] from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him [qavah – expect to see Him by His understanding learned].
18 Behold, I [the son of David, the son of Joseph] and the children [upon who these sure mercies of David have come] whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwells in mount Zion [His throne here on the earth].
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits [the known dead, the misleading words of the communists that are known to be the death of men and nations], and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? [Why are they still looking] for the living to the dead?
20 [When they should be looking] To the law and to the testimony [this word of Shiloh, peace that flows from the LORD’s teaching]: if they speak not according to this word [exalting His voice above all other voices], it is because there is no light [understanding] in them.
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry [refusing the word of God]: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry [without this word of God], they shall fret themselves, and curse their king [I Am the promised son of David, the son of Joseph] and their God, and [ignorantly] look [panah – turn their heads] upward [not believing He is manifesting His presence in His word spoken through His chosen].
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble [tsarah – tribulation] and darkness [ignorance], dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness [into the now obvious insanity].

As we know, the LORD’s words above are paraphrased and thereby referenced in 1 Peter 3:14 and 15. The passage speaks of those fearing doing this work of the LORD: speaking His truth and declaring His presence therein. It speaks of the dead body of Christ, held in prison (death and hell), where He rises and speaks life into it. The passage, as does all scripture, describes this moment, this resurrection in which we now find (understanding) ourselves.

1 Peter 3
8 Finally, be you all of one mind [this same understanding], having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing [giving this same blessing, this understanding received from the LORD directly]; knowing that you are thereunto called, that you should inherit a blessing [as Ephraim, the LORD’s people in this last generation that become the first of the new generation, raised to life in this resurrection].
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil [misleading words of generational corruption], and his lips that they speak no guile [words now known to be evil but continually spoken, to avoid the necessary long-suffering that comes with speaking these in the LORD’s name declaring they are His presence manifested with us, in us]:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace [that flows to all in His words], and ensue it.
12 For the eyes of the LORD are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face [presence] of the LORD is against them that do evil.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers [mimetes – only used seven times, all speaking of following the LORD by following those following Christ alive in them] of that which is good?
14 But and if you suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are you: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
15 But sanctify [declaring holy] the LORD God in your hearts [minds]: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope [expect the LORD to manifest His presence in this expected end] that is in you with meekness [not as destroyers but rather as builders] and fear [knowing the LORD is always present]:
16 Having a good conscience [co-perspective; seeing as the LORD sees]; that, whereas they [those ignorant of Him] speak evil of [their corrupt understanding against] you, as of evildoers, they may [at the LORD appearing] be ashamed [not reaching the end they seek, which is the destruction of our good conversation] that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ [the LORD alive in us speaking and working unknown to those ignorant by choice].
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that you suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
18 For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened [dead flesh brought to life] by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison [here in death and hell];
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism [calling all to repentance, and to enter into His kingdom of heaven: this full understanding that comes to those who continue in His word] does also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience [speaking with the LORD’s co-perspective, seeing as he sees] toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ [here and now]:
22 Who is gone into heaven [this full understanding], and is on the right hand of God [doing His work]; angels [messengers] and authorities and powers being made subject [hupotasso – made to subordinate] unto him.

1 Corinthians 4
9 For I think that God has set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle [of ridicule] unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but [in this corrupt world] you are [the] wise in Christ; we are [called] weak, but [to the corrupt] you are strong; you are honorable, but [because we tell the truth] we are despised.
11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;
12 And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the [corrupt] world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day [received by only a very few].
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you [not to be confederate with the corrupt world].
15 For though you have ten thousand [corrupt] instructors in Christ, yet have you not many fathers [I Am]: for in Christ Jesus [the LORD alive in my flesh] I have begotten you [as my children] through the gospel [this good news of Christ alive in us, and by Him, His word heard from our mouths, we live].
16 Wherefore I beseech you, be you followers [mimetes] of me.
17 For this cause have I [the living God, alive in My word] sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the LORD, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
18 Now some are puffed up [with pride in the corrupt things, their falsely so-called knowledge], as though I [the LORD alive in My flesh] would not come to you.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the LORD will, and [you] will know [Me], not [by] the speech of them which are puffed up [with corruption], but the power [of My word that effectually works in you, to change your minds, and you will see as I see].
20 For the kingdom of God is not in [man’s] word, but in power [that destroys death, and brings the dead to life, as only My exalted word can].
21 What will you? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness [building you into the LORD’s habitation]?

The following, ending with Psalms 25, is from the post of 7 December 2024.

4 – 7 December 2024

The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

Friends, you who know the present LORD, His will is above (Isaiah 32:4), speaking of the repentance of those once quick to condemn me for declaring His truth, who now understand with us that it is His presence manifested for this purpose.

Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king [truly I Am] shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
2 And a man [I Am, a man of war] shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest [the storms of misleading agitating all humanity]; [and the word of God from Him through me flows] as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great Rock [from where these waters flow, in which men can trust] in a weary land.
3 And the eyes of them that see [as the LORD sees] shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear [shama’ – and obey] shall hearken [qashab – letting His word pierce their ears and enter their minds, hearing His voice shall see His presence].
4 The heart [minds] also of the rash [mahar – speaking of those being quickened to finish the work, meaning “to be liquid or flow easily, i.e. (by implication); to hurry (in a good or a bad sense); often used (with another verb) adverbially, promptly”] shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers [‘illeg – those repeating their own unintelligible words] shall be ready [mahar – are quickened] to speak [this word] plainly.
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal [as they are], nor the churl [kiylay – those withholding this word] said to be bountiful.
6 For the vile person will [be understood to be] speak[ing] villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl [kiylay – those withholding this word] are evil: he devises wicked devices to destroy the poor [those without worldly power] with lying words, even when the needy [the lowly] speak right [giving this word as commanded].
8 But the liberal devises liberal things [freely giving these words as receives, as commanded]; and by liberal things shall he stand [for all humanity].
9 Rise up, you women [wise virgins] that are at ease [sleeping, not doing the LORD’s work as commanded]; hear my voice [here, as it is], you careless daughters; give ear unto my speech [obey, be a doer not just a hearer].
10 Many days and years shall you be troubled, you careless women [not doing the LORD’s work]: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
11 Tremble [be shaken, to shake the wicked from you], you women that are at ease; be troubled, you careless ones: strip you, and make you bare [[‘arar – demolish the wall, remove all the corrupt things that are the cause of the troubles]], and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
12 They shall lament for the teats [long for the teaching that raises children], for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers [the misleader and deceivers who’ve now come among you misleading all]; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city [that once knew my presence]:
14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken [without just leadership]; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens [the belly of the earth where beasts lodge, the habitation of the dead without My Spirit] forever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
15 Until the spirit [of the LORD] be poured upon us from on high [to finish the work and cut it short], and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness [this now desolated earth], and righteousness remains in the fruitful field [where My people sow this word].
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace [of all the new earth I Am creating]; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19 When it shall hail [this word frozen, reserved, in heaven, sent in this time of war, against the current crop of corrupt and incorrigible leaders], coming down on the forest [the corrupt the world calls upright]; and the city shall be low in a low place [in hell].
20 Blessed are you that sow [this word, giving it as commanded] beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass [doing the work; and carrying this word].

Can men who have been antichrists be saved? With the LORD, all things are possible.

Do not wrestle with His word, this word, to your own destruction (apoleia – perdition).

2 Peter 3
3 Knowing this first, that there shall [have] come in the last days scoffers [not believing the LORD is present with us, in us], walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep [into death], all things continue as they were from the beginning of the [old] 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 [for this appointed time of the LORD’s just war against the darkness] 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 [always with us, hidden only in men’s ignorance] 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; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men] shall melt with fervent heat, the [old corrupt] 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] 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 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].

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “divers” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding all these divers elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place [Psalms 8] testified [of the son], saying, “What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit [paqad – manifest Your presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth, in] him?
7 You made him a little lower than the angels [as we’ve seen, the words here are chacer’ elohiym, telling us the son is intentionally sent lacking the full knowledge of God; the Psalm then saying this is planned so the son {I Am: His presence in this moment manifested in the flesh He’s chosen} can be crowned by the Father with His understanding: revelation only known to the Father]; you crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him over the works of your hands:
8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we [in our blindness] see not yet [that] all things [are] put under him [not hearing and obeying this word as the Father’s voice, as it is].
9 But we [again] see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death [sent without understanding], [now, when we see Him again] crowned with glory and honor [raised to life by the light of the Father in him]; that he by the grace of God should taste death [and be raise from it] for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain [archegos – only used three other times; in Acts 3:15, speaking of the son as the “Prince” of life, who the religious and civil powers denied, conspired against, and killed; Acts 5:31 as the risen “Prince” who is seated at the Father’s right hand {from where Habakkuk 3:4 says, in this writing, comes His hidden power as rays of light}; and Hebrews 12:2 saying He is “the Author and Finisher of our Faith”] of their salvation perfect [teleioo – made complete, filled full] through sufferings [the same affliction, tribulation, doubting the LORD is present, the daka’, that, through proof of him {I Am}, makes us ready, willing, to be quickened from corruption into life].
11 For both he that sanctifies [purges us from corruption, making us holy] and they who are sanctified [purged and made holy] are all of one [Body of Christ]: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare your name [identity] unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing [repeating the words You’ve given me] praise unto you.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me [when our mouths are opened with His words, are for signs and wonders to God’s people at large].
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he [the Father] also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death [coming lacking understanding] he might [self-manifesting His light, life, in the flesh, to] destroy him that had the power of [to deceive men into ignorance of God and to instead follow them into] death, that is, the devil [the misleaders who put themselves in His place];
15 And deliver them [the misled] who through fear of death [not understanding it is a state of mind], were all their lifetime subject to bondage [but you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free from death].
16 For truly he took not on him the nature of angels [a mere messenger given a message]; but he took on him the seed of Abraham [to whom the LORD promised a son, an heir who would become as many as the sand of the shore and the stars of heaven].
17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren [born into dead flesh here in hell], that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted [to doubt the Father’s presence with him here in hell, to from it raise us], he is able to succor [rescue] them that are tempted [to doubt Him].

As seen in previous posts, the number (666) of man, speaks of the number assigned to the Hebrew word ‘apher by James Strong in the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary. (Yes, It’s that simple.)

The word only appears twice, both speaking of the “ashes” that cover the faces of the prophet(s), speaking the word they say are the LORD’s. It is speaking of them as antichrist, speaking against Him with their own words they claim are His, until they make haste (mahar) and remove the ashes (the evidence of the ruin of the old and now ended world that was without this word heard).

Psalms 25
8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 The meek [who, showing the LORD’s mercy, choose to correct and not destroy] will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For your name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.
12 What man is he that fears the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.

Ephesians 4
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying [building], that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed [hidden, secured] unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice [that causes trouble]:
32 And be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.

Ephesians 5
1 Be you therefore followers [mimetes] of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor.

1 Thessalonians 1
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God [choosing you, to manifest His presence through you speaking His word declaring He is alive in you].
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power [that has effectually worked in you, as only the LORD can], and in the Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown], and in much assurance [the LORD revealing Himself alive in us]; as you know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
6 And you became followers [mimetes] of us, and of the LORD, having received the word [as the word of the LORD, as it is] in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost [realizing it, His word, reveals His presence with us, in us].
7 So that you were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia [the houses of dead flesh] and Achaia [who were troubled because of the corrupt things they followed].
8 For from you sounded [from your own mouths] out the word of the LORD not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing [because you are speaking the same understanding as received].
9 For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in [to His kingdom] we had unto you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
10 And to wait for [expecting] his Son from heaven [this place of full understanding], whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come [upon those refusing this truth and salvation].

1 Thessalonians 2
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children,
12 That you would walk worthy of God [renouncing “the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light {understanding} of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2 Corinthians 4], who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us [exactly as here and now], you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works [as the power changing your minds] also in you that believe.
14 For you, brethren, became followers [mimetes] of the churches of God which in Judah are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the LORD Jesus [as the false teachers and devils among us have, through their blinding corruption], and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak [this word of God, as received] to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath [the LORD’s vengeance in the same word, as is spoken of in Hebrews 10:30, quoting Deuteronomy 32:35 & 36] is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see [the LORD’s presence manifest in] your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan [the spirit in them working] hindered us.
19 For what is our hope [we wait for and fully expect], or joy [the LORD’s presence realized in you], or crown of rejoicing [when He is realized working and speaking in us]? Are not even you [who’ve received this word of God as His word, as it is] in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For you are our glory [when His presence is in you manifested] and joy [realized by you and those who through you hear and obey Him].

Hebrews 6
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love [giving His word, as His exalted word, as received], which you have shown toward his name [revealing His presence and identity], in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end [His promises fulfilled]:
12 That you be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 For when God made promise to Abraham [in Genesis 22:17 That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have {heard and} obeyed my voice], because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise [in Isaac].
16 For men truly swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife [antilogia – when the reality appears it is impossible to any longer contradict its promise].
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18 That by two immutable things [the promise to David that his seed would sit upon the throne, and Joseph’s seed {Ephaim – this generation of God’s people} would not remain in hell] in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation [paraklesis – Paraclete], who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope [of the promise] set before us [appearing]:
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entered into that within the veil [the presence of the Father revealed in the flesh];
20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.

Hebrews 12
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [this place of full understanding from the right hand of God the Father]:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace [these treasure we’ve received], whereby we may [obey and] serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Psalms 98
1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he has done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, have gotten him the victory.
2 The LORD has made known his salvation: his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the heathen.
3 He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends [‘ephec] of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise [declaring His presence realized] unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice [in His presence realized], and sing praise.
5 Sing [these words] unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice [qowl] of a psalm.
6 With trumpets and sound [qowl – voice] of cornet make a joyful noise before [paniym – declaring the realized presence of] the LORD, the King.
7 Let the sea roar [Let all humanity declare His word], and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands [Let these words and the words of man come together]: let the hills be joyful [let the governments He is creating declare His presence] together
9 Before [paniym – manifesting the presence of] the LORD; for he comes to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

24 December 2024 – 1 January 2025

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

The LORD preceded the above, Psalms 106:43, with the parable of the sower, prefacing today’s message with the reminder that not everyone receiving this word will continue in it until it does its full work.

Matthew 13
1 The same day [this time of light come upon the earth] went Jesus out of the house [into the light], and sat by the seaside [unknown among those sitting in darkness].
2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto [hear] him so that he went into a ship [to the darkened church, who comprehended Him not], and sat [at the right hand of the Father, to speaks His word]; and the whole multitude stood on the shore [this end reached, of which they are ignorant].
3 And he spoke many things unto them in parables [words in which are hidden the treasures of deep meanings], saying, Behold, a sower [I Am] went forth to sow [this word of God into the earth];
4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls [those risen into places where understating should be found but isn’t] came and [with their corrupt institutional ignorance] devoured them up:
5 Some fell upon stony places [where vain men speak their own words while saying it’s God’s], where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness [no understanding of the deeper meaning] of earth:
6 And when the sun [this true life of this new day] was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root [are without foundational understanding], they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns [misleaders who’ve risen and overgrown the unkept garden]; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them [keeping this understanding lodged in their throats]:
8 But other fell into good ground [that wasn’t hindered by false understand, or hardened by institutional corruption, or choked by misleaders], and [speaking] brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 Who has ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speak you unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you [on this good ground] to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever has [a good foundation], to him shall be given [greater understanding], and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever has not [is without this foundation, which is Christ Jesus, the LORD manifesting His presence, in His word, in our flesh], from him shall be taken away even that he has.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing [only the superficial] see not; and hearing [not the Father’s voice speaking] they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah [in Isaiah 6:9 & 10, after verses 7 & 8 tells us, “And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this {fiery coal of the alter} has touched {the effectual working of this sacrifice} your lips {to remove corruption from the mouth}; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged. Also I heard the voice {as the voice} of the LORD {as it is}, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then said I, “Here Am I; send me {the willing sacrifice}.”], which says, “By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart [minds], and should be converted [their minds purged and changed], and I should heal them [herein lies revealed the mystery of the LORD’s healing miracles].”
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 For truly I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.
18 Hear you therefore the parable of the sower.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understand it not, then comes the wicked one [sitting in places where understanding should be but isn’t], and [with their corrupt understanding] catches away that which was sown in his heart [mind]. This is he which received seed by the wayside.
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receives it;
21 Yet has he not root [is without foundation, which is the LORD in our flesh] in himself, but endures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arises because of [believing this is the word of God, and declaring it is His presence manifested in] the word, by and by he is offended [skandalizo – is silenced by refusing the scandal of the necessary sacrifice].
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches [the prosperity doctrine, seeking worldly treasures, the false prophets, misleaders, preach], choke the word [keeping it lodged in their throat and never reaching their mouths], and he becomes unfruitful.
23 But he that received seed into the good ground [having this deep understanding] is he that hears the word [as the word of the LORD], and understands it [is the Father’s presence manifested]; which also [obeying and speaking it as received] bears fruit, and brings forth [others to this same understanding], some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, did not you sow good seed in your field? from whence then has it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy [mixed among us] has done this [to mix their corruption among us]. The servants said unto him, Will you then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while you gather up the tares, you root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers [sent with this word from the mouth of the LORD], Gather you together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed [which is this good seed], which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 Which indeed is [esteemed as] the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and become a tree, so that the birds of the air [those who thereby are risen into heaven, into full understanding with the LORD] come and lodge in the branches thereof.
33 Another parable spoke he unto them; The kingdom of heaven [where understanding should be found and isn’t] is like unto leaven [corruption], which a woman [the unfaithful church institutions] took, and hid in three measures of meal [the body of Christ], till the whole [body] was leavened [corrupted].
34 All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke he not unto them [this is a major point – all the word of God is spoken with a deeper hidden meaning]:
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, [in Psalms 78:2] saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” [It must be understood that this is the LORD here and now revealing the deeper hidden meaning is the apocalypse: the revelation of all things good and evil, true and false, in which He uncovers His presence.]

Psalms 78
Instructions to the Gathered [seers seeing these things]
1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
3 Which we have heard and [superficially] known, and our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children [here and now born by hearing them as the voice of the LORD], showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful [eye opening] works that he has done.
5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, [His written word] which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
6 That the generation to come [‘acharown – in these last days] might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise [in this resurrection] and [opening their mouth] declare them [this understanding as received] to their children:
7 That they [all the earth] might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart [minds] aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast [did not remain] with God.
9 The children of Ephraim [God’s people in this last generation], being armed, and carrying bows, turned back [were defeated and fled] in the day of battle [qrab – this time of war, as in Job 38:23, for which the LORD’s word, this understanding frozen in heaven, is sent to bring Him victory over death and hell].
10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
11 And forgot his works, and his wonders that he had shown them.
12 Marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as a heap.
14 In the daytime [when His understanding is upon the earth] also he led them with a cloud [from where He sends His word], and all the night [when ignorance of Him covers the earth] with a light [His understanding as] of fire.
15 He clave the rocks [speaking His word as He gave it] in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths [deep understanding held in the darkened waters].
16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17 And they [while He is speaking] sinned yet more [speaking their own words] against him by provoking the Most High in the wilderness.
18 And they tempted [doubting the presence of] God in their heart [minds] by asking meat [never saying it’s enough] for their lust.
19 Yea, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above [to giving His understanding to the earth], and opened the doors of heaven,
24 And had rained down manna [this word of God from the mouth of the LORD, of which they are ignorant] upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25 Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.

Matthew 13
49 So shall it be at the end [sunteleia – the entire completion] of the world [aion – the age]: the angels [the LORD’s messengers speaking this message as received] shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesus says unto them, Have you understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, LORD.
52 Then said he unto them, Therefore, every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven [given this understanding] is like unto a man that is a householder, which brings forth out of his treasure things new and old [this understanding of the written word].
53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then has this man all these things?
57 And they were offended [skandalizo] in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

The word “unbelief” is from the twelve times used word apaistia, meaning “faithlessness, i.e. (negatively) disbelief (lack of Christian faith), or (positively) unfaithfulness (disobedience).” It’s the opposite of pistos, meaning “from 3982; objectively, trustworthy; subjectively, trustful:–believe(-ing, -r), faithful(-ly), sure, true.” It (pistos) is from peithos (3982), meaning “to convince (by argument, true or false); by analogy, to pacify or conciliate (by other fair means); reflexively or passively, to assent (to evidence or authority), to rely (by inward certainty).”

Hebrews 3
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithful [pistos] to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honor than the house.
4 For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5 And Moses truly was faithful [pistos] in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things [like this word] which were [commanded] to be spoken after;
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm [bebaios] unto the end [telos – this conclusion].
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost says, Today if you will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart [their minds]; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief [apaistia], in departing from the living God [always present and willing to correct us].
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened [in mind and unable to receive His correction] through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ [the LORD’s presence manifested and declared in the flesh], if we hold the beginning [arche] of our confidence steadfast [bebeios] unto the end [telos];
15 While it is said, Today if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not [apeithos]?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief [apaistia].

The difference between faith and unbelief is in receiving this word as the word from the mouth of God, as it is in truth, now and from the beginning, even into eternity. God is the God of the living, unrestrained by time working and speaking to us “Today,” and if we believe, we enter into His rest. Do you believe Him? If we do, we Hear Him speaking to us today (even in words written long ago with us in mind).

Ephesians 1
4 According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood [this willing sacrifice necessary to deliver His word and declare His presence therein], the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed [pisteuo], you were sealed [kept hidden and secure] with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith [pistis] in the LORD Jesus [believing the LORD is present today], and love [agape – and will give His word as received] unto all the saints,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 That the God of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation [apokalupsis – this apocalypse: taking away the cover] in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened [and you see Him present]; that you may know what is the hope of his calling [to and through the faithful], and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance [these treasures sent as His grace that saves, and from death resurrects] the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality [arche], and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
22 And has put all [hupotasso – subordinated] things under his feet [as enemies, whose corrupt words and ways were against the Father’s will, made His footstool], and gave him to be the head over all things [to be given] to the church,
23 Which is his [ONE] body, the fulness [pleroma – the completion] of him that fills [pleroo – finishes] all [and is alive] in all [He completes].

Ephesians 2
1 And you has he quickened [into life], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past you walked [as enemies] according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the [darkened] air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience [apeitheia – those without faith, without certainty that He is present]:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us [into life] together with Christ, (by grace [this gift] you are saved;)
6 And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places [with full, complete, understanding] in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace [this gift freely given] in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace [these treasures received from Him] are you saved through faith [it is His presence manifested to us, in us]; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of [our own] works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works [delivering His grace as received], which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember, that you being in time past Gentiles [not knowing the LORD] in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision [without the flesh that covers the head removed] by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel [those who receive the promised end], and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh He chooses and sends] you who sometimes were far off [separated from God] are made nigh by the blood [the necessary sacrifice] of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who has made both one [BODY], and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man [the ONE flesh BODY of Christ], so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in ONE BODY by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit [of the LORD working unknown in us, His children] unto the Father [revealed through us, in us].
19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household [family] of [the living] God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone [the turning stone who brings us back to the Father];
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together grows unto a holy temple in [which] the LORD [lives]:
22 In whom you also are built together [into His ONE BODY] for a habitation of God through the Spirit [of the LORD working while unknown through us, in us].

Colossians 1
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you [who are raised here from death into life], and to desire that you might be filled [pleroo – be finished] with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That you might walk worthy of the LORD unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness [realizing His presence with us, in us];
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light [understanding that is life]:
13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness [ignorance of the LORD], and has translated us [methe – removed us from the power of darkness] into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood [the necessary sacrifice], even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning [arche], the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness [pleroma – completion] dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23 If you continue in the faith grounded and settled [in this foundation], and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Timothy Am made a minister;
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ [manifested] in my flesh for his [ONE] body’s sake, which is the church:
25 Whereof I Am made a minister, according to the dispensation [of these treasures] of God which is given to me for you [His family], to fulfil [pleroo – finish] the word of God;
26 Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles [those who haven’t know Him]; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect [teleios – complete] in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labor, striving [agonizomai – contending with the corrupt] according to his working [through me], which works in me mightily.

Friends, in the word agonizomai, we find the hidden treasures by which the LORD tells us this is the time of our war, into which He sent me to call all His people to join Him herein. It (agonizomai) means, “to struggle, literally (to compete for a prize), figuratively (to contend with an adversary), or genitive case (to endeavor to accomplish something):–fight, labor fervently, strive.” Its first use, of seven, appears in Luke 13:24, where we’re told to “strive” to enter the strait gate.

Luke 13
23 Then said one unto him, LORD, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24 Strive [agonizomai – contend with the corrupt] to enter in at the strait [stenos – only used three times, meaning “narrow (from obstacles standing close about)” that must be avoided, speaking of the false prophets and false teachers blocking the] gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and has shut to the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, LORD, LORD, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence [pothen] you are [referring to the word’s use in Luke 20:7, when {the false teachers and false prophets} the “obstacles” couldn’t answer the LORD when, after they asked Him from where comes His authority, He asked them from where came the Baptism of the John {the sign of the end and the call for all to repent}, from heaven or of men? and they answered “that they could not tell whence {pothen} it was.”]:
26 Then shall you begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence [pothen] you are; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity [who have no authority to speak or teach your own words and ways in My Father’s name].
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29 And they shall come [when they hear My angels calling them to gather] from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

Matthew 11
14 And if you will receive it, this is Elijah, which was for to come.
15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped unto you [sounding, saying I should bow to the image they’ve created], and you have not danced; we have mourned unto you [saying they repent while keeping the same corruption], and you have not lamented [all, by their opinions, delusions they’ve created, saying I should be doing what they have been taught I should].
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking [not accepting your corrupt ideas and ways], and they say, He has a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 Woe unto you, Chorazin [in the smoking furnace]! woe unto you, Bethsaida [the house of the fish – the houses that are the whale’s belly]! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 And you, Capernaum [to whom the Comforter has come, speaking and working unknown in their ignorance], which [to men whose words] are exalted unto heaven [saying you have your own understanding, your covenant with death, your agreement with hell], shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent [corrupted by the world], and have revealed them unto babes [who willingly receive these treasures].
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden [by the words of evil men], and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light [double meaning intended].

The next time the word agonizomai appears is in John 18:36 as the LORD answers Pilate, saying “My kingdom [where I Am king] is not of this world [kosmos – is not adorned with corruption]: if my kingdom were of this world [kosmos], then would my servants fight [agonizomai – contend against corruption], that I should not be delivered to the Jews [to corrupt leaders who say they are the “true believers”]: but now is my kingdom not from hence [enteuthen – not on that side of death].”

1 Corinthians 9
16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will [akon – not doing my own will but rather God’s], a dispensation [these treasures given to me to be distributed to His family] of the gospel is committed [pisteuo – of faith] unto me.
18 What is my reward then? Truly that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge [not asking for a reward from men], that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you [in the same ONE BODY, the LORD’s family].
24 Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receive the prize? So run, that you may obtain.
25 And every man that strives for the mastery [agonizomai] is temperate [self-restrained] in all things. Now, they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we do it for an incorruptible one.

Colossians 4
1 Masters [kurios – supreme in authority: rulers through whom the LORD rules], give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that you also have a Master [kurios – a Supreme Ruler] in heaven [from where this perfect understanding comes].
2 Continue in prayer [in conversation with Him], and watch in the same [see as He sees] with thanksgiving [for the gifts, the grace, He thereby gives to us];
3 Withal praying also for us [that those now sleeping would awake and rise with us], that God would open unto us a door of utterance [speaking His word to us], to speak the mystery of Christ [revealed in us], for which I am also in bonds:
4 That I may make it manifest [giving His understanding as received], as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech be always with grace [freely giving this word as received], seasoned with salt [understanding as tasted when spoken], that you may know how you ought to answer every man.
7 All my state shall Tychicus [those with me, upon whom this moment has come unknown] declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful [pistos] minister and fellow-servant in the LORD:
8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort [parakaleo] your hearts [lead your minds into all truth];
9 With Onesimus [those who profit, bring forth much fruit, by receiving this same understanding], a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you [giving this understanding as received] all things which are done here.
10 Aristarchus [the Best Ruler] my fellow-prisoner salutes you, and Marcus [who is our defender], sister’s son to Barnabas [who brings many into the LORD’s rest], (touching whom you received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him [receive the LORD’s presence manifested therein];)
11 And Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in our flesh], which is called Justus [the Just One], who are of the circumcision [from whom the flesh cover is removed and the LORD is therein seen]. These only are my fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort [revealing all His truth] unto me.
12 Epaphras [who show you this love of the LORD, giving His word as received], who is one of you, a servant of Christ [manifesting the LORD’s presence in the flesh], salutes you [greeting you into His kingdom], always laboring fervently for you in prayers [this conversation of with the LORD], that you may stand [rise in this resurrection] perfect [teleios] and complete [pleroo] in all the will of God.
13 For I bear him record, that he has a great zeal [for that “which is just and equal”] for you, and them that are in Laodicea [the lukewarm, who are justified], and them in Hierapolis [who become the Holy City, the habitation of God].
14 Luke [those giving this light: understanding], the beloved physician [removing corruption and ignorance], and Demas [ruling God’s people with good {just and equal} judgment], greet you [into the LORD’s kingdom].
15 Salute [greet into His kingdom] the brethren which are in Laodicea [who were lukewarm until they received this word from the LORD], and Nymphas [receiving this gift that was before veiled in ignorance], and [become ONE BODY with us] the church which is in his house [which is the LORD’s family].
16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans [give this word to all the lukewarm]; and that you likewise read [know again] the epistle from Laodicea [know their state by hearing them speak these same words again].
17 And say to Archippus [those teaching and leading God’s people], Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the LORD, that you fulfill it [giving this word as received].
18 The salutation [greeting you into My Father’s kingdom] by the hand of me Timothy. Remember my bonds [desmois – which is the zeal of God, His righteous indignation]. Grace [this gift, which is the knowledge of God] be with you. Amen.

The word rendered “zeal,” above in verse 13, is zelos: a word by which the LORD refers us to its use in Hebrews 10:27.

Hebrews 10
5 Wherefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body [through which You will speak] have you prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; [2 Peter 1:16 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 Him}.]
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do your will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second [taking away the sacrifice in which He has no pleasure, because it is superficial, only covering sin, never changing the mind to take it away, and in its place inaugurating the sacrifice that pleases Him, long-suffering to change minds, taking away the corruption by His word, His power, that effectually does the work].
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God [from where His power is ministered];
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies [haters] be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified [made holy, cleared of men’s corruption].
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD, I will put my laws into their hearts [making it the foundation of their thought process], and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest [the presence of the Father] by the blood [willing sacrifice] of Jesus [manifesting Jehovah’s Salvation],
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated [inaugurated] for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having a high priest [administrating this dispensation, as His chief overseer] over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled [with the blood of His sacrifice] from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works [speaking His word, in which is the power that effectually works to change the minds of men]:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [episunagoge – only appearing here and in 2 Thessalonians 2:1 where it’s our “gather together” to the LORD Jesus Christ, that only comes after the falling way, the word meaning the complete collection, into His ONE BODY], as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day [this light, understanding] approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation [zelos – zeal], which shall devour the adversaries [making His enemies His footstool].
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under-foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions;
33 Partly, whilst you were made a gazing-stock [held up for public mocking by those who hate us without cause] both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used.
34 For you had compassion of me in my bonds [desmios – the LORD’s zeal for things just and equal, by which His enemies are made His footstool], and took joyfully the spoiling of your [corrupt] goods [things you thought were true, which aren’t], knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better [kreitton] and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence [waiting for things fully expected], which has great recompence of reward.
36 For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God [speaking as commanded], you might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith [pistis]: but if any man draw back [hupostello – fearing, hold back this word], my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back [hupostole] unto perdition [apoleia]; but of them that believe [pistis – that this word is the word from the mouth of God] to the saving of the soul.

Psalms 27
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When you said, Seek you my face [paniym – Your presence in Your word]; my heart said unto you, Your face [paniym – Your presence in Your word], LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not your face [paniym – Your presence in Your word] far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother [my leaders and teachers] forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty [chamac – wrong: violence against truth].
13 I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land [‘erets – the earth] of the living.
14 Wait on [qavah – expect] the LORD [now in the earth of the living]: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen [give understanding to] your heart [mind]: wait, I say, on [qavah – expect] the LORD.

And there came a voice from heaven, saying, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

20 – 23 December 2024

And there came a voice from heaven, saying, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

The LORD begins today in Mark 1:11, which comes after John’s baptism of Jesus (the flesh in which Jehovah is manifested as the Salvation of those who repent (“turn”) from the prison of established corruption to Him).

Mark’s gospel (in verse 1) tells us it’s “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” In the following verses, he goes on to say, “As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the LORD, make his paths straight.”

This latter quote originates in (combination from) Malachi 3:1 and Isaiah 40:3, both describing the message as the manifestation of the LORD’s presence, which Mark declares (the realization in the Father’s voice heard) in the title verse.

The differing aspect (from Matthew and Luke) of Mark’s Gospel is there is no “nativity” described, instead, he begins with these quotes. The word he uses when describing this “beginning” is arche, which Matthew (24:8) and Mark (13:8) use to describe the “beginning of sorrows.”

The word rendered “sorrows” in these places is the four-times used Greek word odin, meaning “a pang or throe, especially of childbirth.” By these facets, we (comprehensively) understand the birth of Christ, now and throughout history, from the beginning

Mark 1
1 The beginning [arche] of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you.
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the LORD, make his paths straight.
4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
7 And preached, saying, There comes one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit [of Jehovah] like a dove [like Jonah from the whale’s, hell’s, the earth’s belly, as the sign of the expected end, shore, reached] descending upon him:
11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
12 And immediately the spirit drove him into the wilderness.
13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan [to deny the LORD’s presence with him, in him]; and was with the wild beasts [those without the LORD’s Spirit, who therefore don’t know Him]; and the angels [the messengers, the writers, the messages sent to him in the wheel within the wheel] ministered unto him.
14 Now after that John was put in prison [this understanding of the end], Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent you, and believe the gospel [this good message here published].”

The other two times the word odin appears are (descriptively) in Acts 2:24 and 1 Thessalonians 5:3, both (again) describing this moment (of which all are ignorant – because the book was sealed by men’s presumptions, now turned delusions they confusingly, in their darkened and sleeping minds, think are reality).

Acts 2
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days [eschatos – in the Hebrew ‘achar, speaking of now], says God, I will pour out of my Spirit [My presence unknown] upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [speaking these words I put in their mouths], and your young men shall see visions [see as the LORD sees], and your old men shall dream dreams [My thoughts shall come into their sleeping minds]:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens [who obey and do My work] I will pour out in those days of my Spirit [My presence unknown]; and they shall prophesy [they shall speak My words as received]:
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above [from where I sent this understanding], and signs in the earth beneath; blood [show them their word have drained life from the world], and fire [and caused the fire of hell], and vapor of smoke [that comes from the endless fall away from God, and darken the air]:
20 The sun [church, the institutions] shall be turned into darkness [shall now be understood to be without any understanding: lacking light], and the moon [civil government institutions] into blood [understood to be draining life from humanity], before the great and notable [epiphanes – this epiphany] day of the LORD come [speaking of the eschatos, the last days spoken of above, and in Acts 13:47, speaking of when the LORD is no longer talking to those who ignorantly claim they know Him, whose minds are hopelessly blinded by what they think they know about Him, and now speaking to the elect remnant that does know Him present, saying “For so has the LORD commanded us, saying, I have set you to be a light of the Gentiles {to give this understanding to those whose minds aren’t hardened against His correction}, that you shouldest be for salvation unto the ends {eschatos} of the earth.”]:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name [the identity] of the LORD shall be saved.
22 You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth [who was separated from His brethren, and made the king of their salvation, of whose presence they are ignorant], a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God has raised up [exalting His voice above all other voices], having loosed the pains [odin] of death [this birth from it into life]: because it was not possible that he should be held of it.
25 For David speaks concerning him [the following quote is from Psalms 16:8 thru 11, verse 7 saying “I will bless the LORD, who has given me {His} counsel: my reins {Him alive in me} also instruct me in the night seasons {teaches me in this time of darkness, when all others sleep}.”], “I foresaw the LORD always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved :
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27 Because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption [that keeps all other in its belly].
28 You have made known to me the ways of life [out of death and hell]; you shall make me full of joy with your countenance [realizing Your presence with me, in me].”
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would [in the flesh] raise up Christ to [here and now] sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus has God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost [the LORD’s Spirit alive in me unknown, leading all into the same resurrection in His ONE flesh BODY], he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he says himself, The LORD said unto my LORD, Sit you on my right hand,
35 Until I make your foes your footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made the same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both LORD and Christ.
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent [with these pure waters wash away the corruption that blinds you to His presence here as a thief in the darkness], and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost [this salvation message from the LORD here unknown].
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward [skolios] generation.

The (four-times used) word skilios, meaning “warped, i.e. winding; figuratively, perverse:–crooked, froward, untoward,” is speaking of this generation that only knows twisted and perverted truth, and is like travelers on a winding river, never able to see what lies ahead around the next bend, the subsequent perversion of truth.

Philippians 2
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name [an identity] which is above every name [Timothy – meaning highest esteem of God]:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own [exercise, bring out from inside you the LORD’s work of] salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which works in you both to [do His] will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings [against His presence]:
15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked [skolios] and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights [giving His understanding] in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life [which is understanding and light]; that I may rejoice in the day [when this light has come] of Christ, that I have not run [this course] in vain, neither labored in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy [realizing it is the LORD in me, through me manifesting His presence], and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause also do you joy, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the LORD Jesus to send Timothy shortly [tacheos – speaking of quickening me to life first] unto you, that I also may be of good comfort [eupsucheo – be found a good spirit], when I know your state [peri – this alludes to Isaiah 29:23 & 24, speaking of this day, this time of light, saying “But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.”]
20 For I have no man likeminded [iospsuchos – only used here; meaning of similar spirit], who will naturally [gnesios – only used here, meaning genuine, really] care for your state [peri – spoken of in Isaiah 29].
21 For all seek their own [opinions to be validated], not [to validate] the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.
23 Him therefore I [in the identity of the LORD] hope to send presently [exautes – through joining together with them], so soon as I shall see how it will go with [peri] me.
24 But I trust in the LORD that I also myself shall come shortly [tacheos – be quickened in the same quickening, in the resurrection of the ONE flesh BODY of Christ].

1 Thessalonians 5
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly [akribos – have been “diligently” taught to walk “circumspectly,” to understand] that the day of the LORD so comes as a thief in the night [unknown in the ignorance of Him that covers the earth in near total darkness].
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden [aiphnidios – only used elsewhere in Luke 21:34, with verses 33 & 35, saying “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares {aiphnidios}. For as a snare shall it come on ALL them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.”] destruction comes upon them, as travail [odin] upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness [not in ignorance], that that day [this time of light] should overtake you as a thief.
5 You are all the children [born] of light [this understanding, which is life], and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep [in death, without understanding this time of the present LORD manifesting Himself in this message] in the night [in this time of ignorance]; and they that be drunken [whose minds are not properly functioning because to the things they have consumed] are drunken in the night [this time when ignorance of the LORD covers the earth].
8 But let us, who are of the day [who’ve received this understanding of the LORD], be sober [thinking circumspectly], putting on the breastplate of faith [who believe He is present] and love [agape – charity, giving this word, understanding life, light as it is received from the LORD]; and for a helmet [protecting: proving, our minds are His], the hope [to realize He is present with us always] of salvation [to save us from the destruction {perdition} the wicked bring upon themselves and those who follow their evil misleading].
9 For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our LORD Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep [whether we are aware of Him or not], we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort [parakaleo – call along-side] yourselves together, and edify [oikodomeo – be house builders, Family builders, to] one another, even as also you do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor [kopiao – work hard] among you, and are over you in the LORD, and admonish [nouthoteo – warn and protect] you;
13 And to esteem them very highly [I Am, Timothy] in love [agapa – for this word given as received, while declaring it is the LORD’s presence with us, in us speaking and working] for their work’s [in His name’s] sake. And be at [genuine] peace [and safety] among yourselves [which is the product, salvation, found in receiving Him and entering His kingdom].
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly [ataktos – who refuse to subordinate and are therefore disorderly], comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient [long-suffering] toward all men.
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
16 Rejoice evermore [realizing the LORD’s presence with us always].
17 Pray [converse with Him] without ceasing.
18 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings [speaking this word of the LORD, as received from Him, declaring it is His].
21 Prove [by diligent search] all things; hold fast [katecho – never “let” go of] that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of [things understood, seen in the experience, to be] evil.
23 And the very God of peace [and safety: salvation] sanctify you wholly [holoteles – complete to the end: into His ONE BODY]; and I pray God your whole [holokleros – complete in every part] spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is he that calls [kaleo] you [into this completion], who also will do it [poieo].

John 14
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you [found in this word left, now understood]: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart [minds] be troubled, neither let it be afraid [of ignorant men].
28 You have heard how I said unto you, I [as the son] go away [out of sight], and come again unto you [now seen as the Father of many children]. If you loved me [agapao – giving this word as received], you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes [the sons of perdition who put themselves and their creations in My place, darkening the earth into its current condition of confusion, mass delusion, and total insanity], and has nothing in me [nor Am I in them].
31 But that the world may know that I love [agapao – giving His word again to me] the Father [revealed]; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do [obey]. Arise, let us go hence.

The word rendered “hence” is the ten times used word enteuthen, meaning “hence (literally or figuratively); (repeated) on both sides:–(from) hence, on either side.” It is speaking of entering a good (entos eu) death (thano) and, from there, a good resurrection. I Am, we are, awakened here to tell God’s people this is the resurrection, and we rise here and now with Him into His ONE BODY.

It (enteuthen) speaks of making ready or bringing to pass {by preparation: readied in death, to become, be changed, alive immortally} – as implied at the beginning of John 14, and as used in passages below.

John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions [many flesh bodies in which He and we dwell]: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare [hetoimazo] a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare [hetoimazo] a place for you, I will come again [into sight, My presence again made apparent], and receive you unto myself; that where I Am [in full understanding: in heaven], there you may be also.
4 And whither I go you know, and the way you know.
5 Thomas [filled with doubt, even while seeing and experiencing Him present] said unto him, LORD, we know not whither you go [into not being seen while present]; and how can we know the way [without perceiving your presence]?
6 Jesus said unto him, I Am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me [by seeing the Father is the presence in me].
7 If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth [from this declaration it is Him] you know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip said unto him, LORD, show us the Father, and it suffices us [perfects us – this defines the completion as seeing the Father in the son, which is salvation].
9 Jesus said unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest you then, Show us the Father?
10 Believe you not that I Am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells [meno] in me, he does [poieo] the works.
11 Believe me that I Am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
12 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do [poieo] shall he do [poieo] also; and greater works than these shall he do [poieo]; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever you shall ask in my name [identity – manifesting My presence], that will I do [poieo], that the Father may be glorified [manifest His presence] in the Son [declaring Him].
14 If you shall ask any thing in my name [identity – manifesting My presence], I will do it [poieo].
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter [parakletos – Paraclete], that he may abide [meno] with you forever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him [because the Father, the LORD, is alive in, dwells in, him unknown]: but you know him; for he dwells [meno] with you, and shall be [alive] in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world see me no more; but you see me [again]: because I live [and will manifest My presence in this word], you shall [when you realized My presence] live also.
20 At that day you shall know that I Am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 He that has my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas [Judah – the elect remnant] said unto him, not Iscariot [not the leaders who betray Me], LORD, how is it that you will manifest yourself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep [guard] my words [from those who corrupt it]: and my Father will love him [give Him this understanding], and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loves me not keeps not my sayings: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present [meno] with you.
26 But the Comforter [parakletos – called beside, the one who “has our back,” a man of war, the Paraclete, the LORD unknown], which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name [identity – manifesting and declaring the Father’s presence], he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

The two passages initially mentioned above (Malachi 3:1 and Isaiah 40:3), speaking of this message as the “preparation” for receiving the LORD, realizing His manifested presence therein, both describe it (the preparation) using the Hebrew word panah, meaning “to turn; by implication, to face, i.e. appear, look, etcetera.” The word (panah) is the origin of paniym {meaning, “the face (as the part that turns),” which we’ve often discussed and know most often speaks of the manifested presence of the LORD.

The context, turning to look at the LORD again after turning away (after the great falling away, the apostasy, in the bottomless pit), seeing Him after not seeing Him, is what Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 15 and 2 Corinthians 3 & 4 below.

1 Corinthians 15
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [of the spiritual new creation] was made a quickening spirit [bringing many sons to the same glory, from death into life].
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the LORD from heaven [turning our faces to Him, we are raised in full understanding].
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed [allasso – in mind],
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye [when our eyes are enlightened to see as the LORD sees], at the last trump [His voice calling all to gather into His ONE BODY]: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible [when all blinding corruption is removed], and we shall be changed [allasso – in mind].
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up [by life] in victory.
55 O death, where is your sting? O grave [hell], where is your victory [over the immortals who have risen into heaven with the LORD]?

2 Corinthians 3
11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remain [meno] is glorious.
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end [when the presence of the Father is seen in the flesh of those in whom He lives] of that which is [corruption and corruptible flesh and blood] abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail [of corruption] untaken away [hidden and sealed] in the reading of the Old Testament; which vail is done away in Christ [the LORD’s presence revealed in the flesh].
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart [minds unable to comprehend His presence in His word].
16 Nevertheless when it shall [by this preparation] turn to the LORD [realizing He is Spirit risen in our flesh], the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the LORD is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty [freedom from death and hell].
18 But we all, with open face [His presence revealed in our flesh] beholding as in a glass [mirror] the glory of the LORD [alive in us], are changed [metamorphoo – in mind] into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.

The word metamorphoo only appears three other times, twice telling of the LORD being “transfigured” on the mountain, and then in Romans 12:2, saying “And be not conformed to this {corrupt} world: but be you transformed {metamorphoo} by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Romans 12
3 For I say, through the grace [this gift of the LORD treasures from heaven] given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.

2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness [panourgia], nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not [that He is always with us and willing to open the eyes of the blind], lest the light [this understanding] of the glorious gospel of Christ [the LORD alive in my flesh], who is the image of God, should shine [this understanding] unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts [changed our minds] to give the light [this understanding] of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face [presence] of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure [this understanding from heaven] in earthen vessels [our flesh], that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the LORD Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 Knowing that he which raised up the LORD Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall [in the resurrection in these last days] present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God [revealed with us, in us].
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the [immortal] things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

1 Corinthians 3
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day [this time of light, when understanding has again come upon the earth] shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work abides [meno – remains in the LORD] which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you [in our minds]?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness [panourgia – their own creations].
20 And again, The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain [worthless].

Malachi 3
1 Behold [See as I see], I will send my messenger [mal’ak – the angel of My presence], and he shall prepare [panah – he shall turn you back to] the way before me [paniym – to understand, comprehend, see My presence manifested]: and the LORD [‘adown – the King], whom you seek [as the wise men sought Him], shall suddenly [pith’owm – like tacheos, quickening me to life first] come to his temple [come to this right mind], even the messenger [mal’ak – the angel of the LORD’s presence] of the covenant [as promised, this expected end reached], whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts [a man of war, I Am].
2 But who may abide the day [this time of light] of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears [ra’ah – is seen again]? for he is like a refiner’s fire [purging corruption from the precious], and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi [the priesthood], and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah [the elect remnant, the new leaders that rise with My rising] and [New Heavenly] Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old [the time before you turned away from Me and My light], and as in former years.
5 And I will come near to you [as the parakletos] to judgment; and I will be a swift [mahar] witness against the sorcerers [who use their words as spells to control people], and against the adulterers [who’ve turned from Me to follow wicked men], and against false swearers, and against those that [through excessive taxation, quantitative easing, manipulated interest rates, and National debt] oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, says the LORD of hosts.
6 For I Am the LORD, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.
7 Even from the days of your fathers you are gone [turned] away from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says the LORD of hosts. But you said, Wherein shall we return?

Isaiah 40
1 Comfort you, comfort you my people, says your God.
2 Speak you comfortably to [New Heavenly] 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 [panah – turn to] 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 withers, the flower fades: because the spirit of the LORD blows upon it [His Spirit moves unknown by the words from His mouth]: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades: but the word of our God shall stand forever.
9 O Zion, that brings good tidings, get you up into the high mountain; O [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, that brings good tidings, lift up your voice with strength [speak this understanding as received]; 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 [revealed to those who believe this report, who hear this word as the word of the LORD] shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him [paniym – His presence is manifested in His word and work].

Like Mark’s, neither does John’s Gospel include a traditional “nativity” description, but rather the “beginning” when “was the word.”

John 1
1 In the beginning [arche] was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning [arche] with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light [understanding] of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness [into this time when the ignorance of God, ignorance of His word, covers the earth]; and the darkness [the ignorant] comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John [the dove, the sign of the end reached, who, like Jonah, calls all to repentance].
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light [not the source of the understanding], but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light [the LORD’s Spirit that reveals the hidden treasures from heaven] which lights [offers understanding and life to] every man that comes into the world.
10 He [the LORD’s Spirit in the flesh working unknown] was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name [His identity]:
13 Which were [born into the world], not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me [after the baptism of repentance] is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.

Psalms 16
1 Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, you have said unto the LORD, You are my LORD: my goodness extends not to you;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent [through whom your identity is manifested], in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten [mahar] after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
11 You will show me the path of life: in your presence [paniym] is fulness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Psalms 80
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that lead Joseph like a flock; you that dwell between the cherubims, shine forth [Your understanding in the conversation at your mercy seat].
2 Before [paniym – manifest Your presence to and through] Ephraim [upon whom this double blessing has come] and Benjamin [who’ve become Your right hand] and Manasseh [those who now remember Your presence with us, in us] stir up your strength, and come and save us.
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause your face [paniym – Your presence] to shine [to give us understanding]; and we shall be saved.
4 O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
5 You feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.
6 You make us a strife unto our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause your face [paniym – Your presence] to shine [to give us understanding]; and we shall be saved.
8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 You prepared [panah – turned us] room before it [paniym – to Your presence], and did cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea [to all humanity at large], and her branches unto the river [by these life-giving waters].
12 Why have you then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13 The boar out of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it.
14 Return, we beseech you, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] this vine;
15 And the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and the branch that you made strong for yourself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of your countenance [paniym – You presence].
17 Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, upon the son of man [I Am] whom you made strong for yourself.
18 So will not we go back from [leaving] you: quicken us [from death into life], and we will call upon your name.
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause your face [paniym – Your presence] to shine [to give us understanding]; and we shall be saved.

And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, “You are the Son of God.” And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.

17 – 18 December 2024

And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, “You are the Son of God.” And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.

The word above in Mark 3:11 rendered “unclean” is akathartos, meaning “from 1 ([“a”] as a negative particle) and a presumed derivative of 2508 (meaning cleansed); impure (ceremonially, morally (lewd) or specially, (demonic)):–foul, unclean.”

The first time the word (akathartos) appears, in Matthew 10:1, is while speaking of the power (to cast out “unclean spirits”) given to the LORD’s students (disciples), the product of what they learned.

Matthew 10
1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to [by casting them out] heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

Not coincidentally, the Greek words rendered “sickness” and “disease” are nosos and malakia, (with Divine intention engineered), meant to refer us to the Greek word gnosis (knowledge), and the Hebrew word mal’ak (angels, as messengers), speaking of the effect of words from the mouths of unclean spirits.

The word (in Matthew 10:1) rendered “cast them out” is ekballo (through casting), which first appears, in Matthew 7:4, speaking of skewed judgment as the cause of unclean spirit.

Revelation 16
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates [the word of fruitfulness]; and the water thereof was dried up [revealing men’s corruption hidden therein], that the way of the kings of the east [those in power when this light has come] might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean [akathartos] spirits like frogs [hidden below the surface of their words] come out of the mouth of the dragon [men as serpents and whales devouring men with their words and swallowing them into the belly of hell], and out of the mouth of the beast [those without the LORD’s Spirit], and out of the mouth of the false prophet [telling lies in the LORD’s name].
14 For they are the spirits of devils [misleaders], working miracles [lying signs and wonders by which they deceive all except the very elect remnant], which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day [this battle at Armageddon, the appointed time of this uncovering of the evil and the good] of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief [present unknown in the darkness of men’s ignorance]. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments [protects against the corrupt elements of this evil generation], lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon [this time of the appointed rendezvous].
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air [darkened by the smoke from the bottles pit: the endless fall away from God and His truth]; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done [the book in opened and the mystery of God is ended].”
18 And there were voices [repeating His given word], and thunders [the sound of the light in the cloud: the LORD’s voice unknown but heard], and lightnings [this understanding received]; and there was a great earthquake [shaking the wicked, removing them from their positions of trust], 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, now turned insanity, that rules the old and corrupt world] came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island [the places refusing to hear this word as His] fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail [this word reserved there, frozen, sent in this time of war against the current crop of corrupt leaders] out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Revelation 18
1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened [given understanding] with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils [misleaders], and the hold of every foul [akathartos] spirit, and a cage of every unclean [akathartos] and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her [confusion now turned insanity], and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.”
4 And I heard another voice from heaven [this place of full understanding], saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

The only twice-used word kathairo (#2508, reversed in akathartos) means to cleanse and is (twice) rendered purge, as in removing corruption (as in purging the leaven after the Passover – from death into life).

Matthew 16
9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 How is it that you do not understand that I spoke it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees [the totally corrupt religious powers]?
12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Matthew 13
33 Another parable spoke he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven [corruption] which a woman [the unfaithful, now dead, body of Christ] took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole [body] was leavened [corrupt].

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels [his messengers with this message], and they shall gather out of his kingdom all [corrupt] things that offend [skandalon – ensnare], and them [the wicked] which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast [ballo] them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth [this understanding] as the sun [from east to west upon all] in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear [and obey].
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto [this] treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hides, and for joy thereof [realizing the LORD’s presence] goes and sells all that he hath, and buys that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 Who, when he had found one pearl [entryway] of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast [ballo] into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore [this point of termination], and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast [ballo] the bad away.
49 So shall it be at the end [sunteleia – entire completion] of the world [aion – the age]: the angels [His messenger speaking this word] shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast [ballo] them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesus said unto them, Have you understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, LORD.

Hebrews 9
22 And almost all things are by the law purged [katharizo] with blood [this necessary sacrifice that accompanies delivering this word of God and declaring it is His presence in us working to save those out of which the unclean spirits are cast]; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these [the sacrifice of animals].
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven [this place of full understanding manifesting the Father’s presence] itself, now to appear [emphanizo – disclosed, to our sight again] in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place every year with blood of others [animals];
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end [sunteleia – at this end of the age] of the world hath he appeared [phaneroo – is made apparent] to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die [and I Am here also raised to life from the dead, out of hell into heaven], but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin [without corruption, with full understanding here in heaven joined with the Father] unto salvation.

The word rendered “offered” in verse 28 is anaphero. It’s used in Matthew and Mark to tell of the LORD “leading” Peter, James, and John up the mountain where He is transfigured. In Luke, it’s used to tell of the LORD being “carried up” into heaven.

1 Peter 2
3 If so be you have tasted that the LORD is gracious.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up [anaphero] spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.”
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient [who refuse to obey His voice], “the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence,” even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

John 15
1 I Am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that bears not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purges [kathairo] it [removing corruption], that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean [katharos] through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth [ballo] as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples.
9 As the Father has loved me [giving me His words: treasures of heaven], so have I loved you [as branches into which the vine flows this life]: continue you in my love [and bear much good fruit].

Matthew 7
1 Judge not [if your judgment is corrupted], that you be not judged [with the same corrupted judgment].
2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete [give your judgment], it shall be measured [back] to you again.
3 And why behold [see] you the mote [an error] that is in your brother’s eye, but consider not the beam [the greater error] that is in your own eye [corrupting your judgment and blinding you]?
4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out [ekballo] the mote [the more minor error] out of your eye [so you see]; and, behold [and you see not], a beam [the greater error] is in your own eye [corrupting and blinding you]?
5 You hypocrite, first cast out [ekballo] the beam [the greater error of corruption] out of your own eye [that you are able thereby to rightly judge]; and then shall you see clearly [be able to judge] to cast out [ekballo] the mote out of your brother’s eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs [those forever meaninglessly baring in the darkness], neither cast [ballo] you your pearls [these treasures by which we enter the LORD’s kingdom: His presence] before swine [unclean beasts, whose words shouldn’t be consumed], lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you.
7 Ask [the Father for understanding], and it shall be given you; [diligently] seek, and you shall find; knock, and it [the deep {life – fish} understanding below the surface of these waters] shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son asks bread [words from the LORD’s mouth], will he give him a stone [logically, from where words cannot flow]?
10 Or if he asks a fish [for the deeper understanding {life} held below the surface of the LORD’s words], will he give him a serpent [a misleader]?
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 [this place of full understanding] give good things [this understanding of the bread and the fish rightly divided] to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you [asking those who have this understanding to give it to you], do you even so to them [giving it to them once it is given to you]: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter you in at the strait [stenos – only used three times, meaning “narrow (from obstacles standing close about)” that must be avoided, speaking of the false prophets and false teachers blocking the] gate: for wide [platus – only used here, from the plasso, meaning “to mold, i.e. to shape or fabricate” speaking of the work of the same false prophets and false teachers, fabrications with which they replaced truth] is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait [stenos] is the gate, and narrow [thlibo – meaning “to crowd,” speaking of the tribulation, the affliction of the crowd, the endless ignorant voices forcing their opinions as truth and increasing the confusion into now total delusion] is the way, which leadeth unto life [I Am the way the Father sent], 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 [with their opinions, presumptuously falsely so-called truth, scattering into pieces] wolves.
16 You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns [the fruit of misleaders], or figs of thistles [the fruit of deceivers]?
17 Even so, every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit [the misled].
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast [ballo] into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. [“If they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them.”]
21 Not every one [not the false prophets and false teachers] that says unto me, LORD, LORD, shall enter [the gate they are blocking] into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven [from where He sends this understanding the builders refuse – Psalms 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.].
22 Many will say to me in that [this] day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out [ekballo] devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity [speaking and preaching your own opinions rather than My truth].
24 Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and [obeying] does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock [from where this word of God does flow]:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew [pneo – the spirits moved unknown], and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock [Christ, the LORD’s Spirit in the flesh from where His word flows].
26 And every one that hears 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 [pneo], 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 [who, without authorization, say they have understanding, while merely presuming their opinions are wisdom].

1 Corinthians 9
24 Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize [Do the false prophets and false teachers understand this warning?]? So run, that you may obtain.
25 And every man that strives for the mastery [agonizomai – leads in this good fight of faith] is temperate [egkrateuomai – exercises self-restraint] in all things. Now they [the losers and winners] do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beats the air [aer – one of the seven times the word appears, here speaking of not fighting against the clarity, the purity by which we see God]:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection [subordination of my will to the Father’s]: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway [adokimos – “unapproved, i.e. rejected; by implication, worthless (literally or morally):–castaway, rejected, reprobate.”].

1 Corinthians 10
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud [where understanding is held and from where it is sent], and all passed through [dierchomai] the sea [Matthew 12:43 When the unclean spirit {akathartos} is gone out of a man, he walks {dierchomai} through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.];
2 And were all baptized [into this same deep understand below the surface] unto Moses [revealing the LORD in the flesh speaking and working] in the cloud [given understanding from heaven] and in the sea [received by that generation, and written for all humanity to receive];
3 And did all eat [received the same bread of heaven, from the mouth of the LORD, by which men live] the same spiritual meat [that strengthens];
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink [that changes the mind and loosens the lips]: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ [the LORD openly manifesting Himself in the flesh He’s chosen].
5 But with many of them [who refused Him and His place as the head of His people] God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things [of misleaders among them, creations of their own darkened minds], as they also lusted.
7 Neither be you idolaters [following these things put in God’s place], as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. [Quoted from Exodus 32:6, speaking of when the LORD sends one from His presence to correct His people back into line, verses 7 & 8 saying, “And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get you down; for your people, which you brought out of the land of Egypt {out of the oppression of the crowd}, have corrupted themselves: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be your gods, O Israel, which have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”]
8 Neither let us commit fornication [intercourse, having the minds pierced by interaction with these idols they are joined with], as some of them committed, and fell [into the bottomless pit from which there is no rising for those who refuse the LORD’s correction] in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ [doubting the LORD’s presence sent in this way], as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents [by following the men among them whose words are poisonous and delivered oh so subtly].
10 Neither murmur you, as some of them also murmured [against the one He sends], and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinks he stands [in the truth for the LORD, of whom all have been ignorant] take heed [be warned here and now], lest he fall [into the same bottomless pit from where there is no rising for those who reject him].
13 There has no temptation [doubting the LORD’s presence] taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able [to eventually comprehend]; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry [the idols men put in His place and call by His name].
15 I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.
16 The cup [here and now] of blessing which we bless [thank the LORD for], is it not the communion [our common union] of the blood of Christ [His sacrifice in the flesh to deliver it as received from the Father, in His name, His true identity manifesting His presence therein]? The bread which we break [this complete work, rightly divided from His mouth, by which man lives], is it not the communion [common union] of the [ONE] BODY of Christ?
17 For we being many are one bread [completed by his work], and ONE BODY: for we are all partakers of that one bread [His completing, perfecting, work].
18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19 What say I then? that the idol [things which men put in His place and called by His name] is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles [those who don’t know the LORD, even those calling their idols by His name] sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils [the misleaders they follow into perdition], and not to God: and I would not that you should have fellowship with devils.
21 You cannot drink the cup of the LORD, and the cup of devils [misleaders possessed by Satan]: you cannot be partakers of the LORD’s table, and of the table of devils.

Friends, I tell you the truth: the word of God was sealed for many generations before this last evil generation into which the LORD sent me. “For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.”

Isaiah 28
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine [shmuw’ah – shama’ Jehovah, this report, to understand it is the voice of the LORD heard and obeyed]? them that are weaned from the milk [don’t remain in a childish state, only seeing superficially], and drawn [attiyq – only used elsewhere in 1 Chronicles 4:22] from the breasts. [1 Chronicles 4:22, speaking of those who “dwelt with the king for his work,” saying “And Jokim {who Jehovah raises up}, and the men of Chozeba {against falsehood}, and Joash {given, sent, by Jehovah} and Saraph {to burn up all falsehood in the trial in hell’s fires}, who had the dominion in Moab {power over the gates of hell, the mouths of wicked men}, and Jashubilehem {by the return of this bead, this word from the mouth of the LORD, by which man lives}. And these are ancient {attiyq} things.”]
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue [this truth which is thought to be vain repetition and a foreign language to those who only know lies] will he speak to this people. [In this verse the mystery {the sealed truth} of Pentecost is revealed to be when men who’ve received this word of God, by the work of the LORD unknown {as the Holy Ghost}, repeat it as receives, which the ignorant can’t understand, but the wise do understand. Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go your way, Daniel {judgment of God}: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.]
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear [shama’ – refusing to hear it as His voice, and obey].
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:”
16 Therefore thus says the LORD GOD [‘Adonay Jehovih – KING of kings and LORD of LORDs], Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste [not flee from Him in shame]. [Psalms 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner {turning our heads again to the Father in heaven}. 23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in {opening} our eyes {to His presence}. 24 This is the day {time of His light rising} which the LORD has made; we will rejoice {realizing His presence} and be glad in it.]
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death [maveth] shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell [sheol] shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – the sound doctrine, teaching, and the “rumor” of Ezekiel 7:26, which is the voice of Jehovah heard].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a [sleeping] man can stretch himself on it: and the covering [the lies and falsehoods under which they hide is] narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 For the LORD [Jehovah] shall rise up as in mount Perazim [2 Samuel 5:20 – as water from His throne, breaking forth upon His and David’s enemies], he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon [Joshua 10:10 & 11 – His word reserved {frozen} in heaven, sent as great hailstones upon the wicked: the current corrupt crop sitting in power], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange [known to no one except Him] act.
22 Now therefore be you not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD GOD [‘Adonay Jehovih – KING of kings and LORD of LORDs], of hosts [a man of war and Commander, Chief, of the army of heaven] a consumption [kalah – a full end, as in Daniel 9:27], even determined [charats – decreed, as in Joshua 10:21 saying “And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua {Jesus} at Makkedah {as one flock under one shepherd} in peace: none moved {charats} his tongue against any of the children of Israel.” And 2 Samiel 5:24, the LORD saying to David, “And let it be, when you hear {shama’ – obey} the sound {qowl – the voice} of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees {baka’, from which comes bkowr – telling us this is the voice of the “firstborn”}, that then you shall bestir yourself: for then shall the LORD go out before {paniym – His presence will be manifested with, in} you, to smite the host of the Philistines {the enemy army now mixed among you}.”] upon the whole earth [‘erets].
23 Give you ear, and hear [shama’ – and obey] my voice [qowl]; hearken, and hear [shama’ – and obey] my speech.

Ezekiel 7
8 Now will I shortly [qarowb] pour out my fury upon you, and accomplish [kalah – as used twice in Daniel 12:7; to finish] my anger upon you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations [tow’ebah].
9 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense you according to your ways and your abominations [tow’ebah] that are in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the LORD that smites.
10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning [tsphiyray – the crowning] is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time is come, the day draws near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14 They [the faithful of the LORD] have blown the trumpet [giving ample warning], even to make all ready; but none goes to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 The sword [this word they refuse] is without [the camp], and the pestilence [the disease that comes upon the wicked at My presence manifested] and the famine [God’s people refusing His word] within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 But they that escape [palat] of them shall escape [paliyt], and shall be on the mountains [going into God’s new government] like doves of the valleys [as signs to the lowly of the end reached], all of them mourning [the end of the old and corrupt heaven and earth], every one for his iniquity.
17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold [all the things the old and corrupt world thought were of value] shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it [the things in which they trust] is the stumbling-block [mikshowl – the likeness of hell, following things desired] of their iniquity.
20 As for the beauty of his ornament [the words with which the LORD has clothed, adorned, us], he set it in majesty [ga’own – He exalted it above all worldly value]: but they made the images of their abominations [tow’ebah] and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it [My majesty] far from them.
21 And I will give it [images you’ve created] into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
22 My face [paniym – My presence] will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret [tsaphan] place [so none see any value in these treasures]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23 Make a chain [rattowq – only used elsewhere in 1 Kings 6:21, where it’s a “chain” overlayed {tsaphah} with gold, desired worldly value, that hides the true treasure within {the ‘abar – the way to pass over from death into life} in the oracle {the holy of holies, in the LORD’s presence manifested in the conversation}]: for the land is full of bloody crimes [against truth tellers], and the city is full of violence [against this word of God].
24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses [as they now do]: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled [as they are: Isaiah 28:8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.].
25 Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26 Mischief [hovah, from havah] shall come upon mischief [hovah], and rumor [shmuw’ah – this voice of Jehovah heard] shall be upon rumor [shmuw’ah – His voice teaching, precept upon precept, line upon line, not yet believed to be the voice of Jehovah] then shall they seek a vision of the [false] prophet[s]; but the law shall perish from the priest[s], and counsel from the ancients [all the robbers who’ve put themselves in My place]. [The word hovah, referring to the effects of the strong delusion the LORD has sent upon the insane, only appears one other time, in Isaiah 47:11, saying “Therefore shall evil come upon you; you shall not know from whence it rises: and mischief {hovah} shall fall upon you; you shall not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know {because you’ve been chained in your own ignorance}.”]
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land [‘erets – the earth] shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts [mishpat – according to their corrupt judgment, by the precedent of their evil shall the evil judge them, and thereby] will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD

The following, ending in Revelation 22, is the complete post from 18 February 2018 (with additions in double brackets).

He, that being Often Reproved Hardens His Neck, shall Suddenly be Destroyed, and that Without Remedy (and the wheels comes quickly)

Continuing: the title is Proverbs 29:1, a chapter that goes on to detail self-chosen destruction as the choice of fools, usually in power and misleading many. The title speaks of the stiff-necked, those who are unwilling to turn their heads, to look in a direction different than where they are focused. The direction they are rejecting is correction, and their destruction comes “because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” This is what shows them to be foolish, and those who the LORD corrects many times, as were those in the time of Noah, as was Pharaoh, yet they continue in their foolishness.

Proverbs 29
1 He, that being often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn.
3 Whoso loves wisdom rejoices his father: but he that [is unfaithful to wisdom] keeps company with harlots spends his substance.
4 The king by judgment establishes the land: but he that receives gifts overthrows [as have those who’ve made themselves rich by doing their duty].
5 A man that flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous does sing and rejoice.
7 The righteous considers the cause of the poor: but the wicked regards not to know it [as have all those who have ignored the abominations and the desolation done in the name of Christ].
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest [so, I speak to the wise, so they understand why destruction comes to the stiff necked, after much longsuffering].
10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek [[to save]] his soul.
11 A fool utters all his mind: but a wise man keeps it in till afterwards.
12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lightens both their eyes.
14 The king that faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever.
15 The rod and reproof gives wisdom: but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases: but the righteous shall see their fall.
17 Correct your son, and he shall give you rest; yea, he shall give delight unto your soul.
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he.
19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understands he will not answer.
20 See you a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
21 He that delicately brings up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length [refer to verse 19 – a son corrected will correct].
22 An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression.
23 A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hates his own soul: he hears cursing, and rebukes it not.
25 The fear of man brings a snare: but whoso puts his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
26 Many seek the ruler’s favor; but every man’s judgment comes from the LORD.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

Here, in the final verse is the mystery solved: what is the abomination that has caused the desolation of God’s people, and what triggers the sudden end that destroys the wicked?

The word used here, rendered “abomination,” is tow`ebah, meaning something that is considered morally disgusting. We know the ways of the just are faithfulness, wisdom, truth, and morality based on the natural state and, therefore, normal. The course of fools is to reject wisdom, rely on deception, to pervert the natural/normal, and to achieve this, they must reject and redefine both the apparent reality and the right connecting of cause and effect.

The LORD tells us we will know this time when we see [understand] the abomination that causes desolation; Matthew saying it will be in the holy place, and Mark says it will be where it ought not.

The Greek word the LORD uses is bdelugma, meaning detestable, as in idolatry. It is from the words bdeo, meaning to stink, and logismos, meaning computation; reasoning, as conscience or conceit. To understand this stink [[perceiving something not seen or heard]], see the recent post titled, “The LORD Knows Those that are His – by Their Smell.”

The word logismos is only used two times: once in Romans 2:15 as “thoughts” and the other in 2 Corinthians 10:5 as “imaginations.”

In Romans 2 it tells of the Gospel, the good news of the LORD’s appearing to justify those whose thoughts are in agreement with His, and who are not only teachers of the law but also doers. It is defining the “just” we’re told of in Proverbs 29:27, and in Romans 2, the “just” God who will judge all without respect of person.

Romans 2
1 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whosoever you are that judges: for wherein you judges another, you condemns yourself; for you that judges does the same things.
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And think you this, O man, that judges them which do such things, and does the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despises you the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5 But after your hardness and impenitent heart treasures up unto yourself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts [logismos] the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17 Behold, you are called a Jew, and rests in the law, and makes your boast of God,
18 And know his will, and approves the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19 And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21 You therefore which teaches another, teaches you not yourself? you that preaches a man should not steal, do you steal?
22 You that says a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? you that abhors idols, do you commit sacrilege?
23 You that make your boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonor you God?
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25 For circumcision truly profits, if you keep the law: but if you be a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the law?
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

In 2 Corinthians 10:5 logismos is telling of the imaginations, and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, which, therefore, must be cast down. Paul defines this as our warfare, pulling down these strongholds. This chapter, as does Romans 2, is describing the antichrists, the fakes sitting in God’s seats of justice, and their abominations, the stinking, rotten fruit they’ve produced: the fables they have created from their conceit and imaginations. These are what have caused the desolation of the church in total, the one body now as sheep scattered to the four winds, and these men in making merchandise of those scattered have become rich, and/or have ascended to power. The gospel written in Romans 2, the good news that the Father sent the son into the world, not to condemn men, but to pull them from the fires in this world now become hell, is the gospel the LORD tells of in Matthew 24. He says so just before speaking of this moment when all “see the abomination” standing in the holy place where it ought not. It is defining the time to run from these places, as discussed in recent posts, that we are not partakers in their plagues (disease).

Matthew 24
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many [as it is now].
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And THIS gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When you therefore shall see the abomination [[bdelugma]] of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso reads, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray you that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh 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, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
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 comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be [the true Christ comes as the sun, shining on every man, and to every man. It is the door of your own mind every person must open to Him. This is the hope we hope for, Christ in us].
28 For where-so-ever the carcasses [of the church] is, there will the eagles be gathered together [the vultures to devour, and the LORD to stir His own nest so His young [[eagles]] will fly].

2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I Timothy myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations [logismos], and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7 Do you look on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the LORD has given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God has distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labors; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.
17 But he that glories, let him glory in the LORD.
18 For not he that commends himself is approved, but whom the LORD commends.

Bdelugma is only used six times, twice as already mentioned, and three times in Revelation, describing the abominations of the mystery women of Babylon. The other time is in Luke 16:15, as the LORD explains what is an abomination in the sight of God: seeing it as God sees it. The abomination is unfaithfulness: through conceit and imagination (damnable heresies) leaving God and His ways, and in the case of those who now control His church and His nation, it is following the idols who have destroyed so many people and nations before them. This is the harlotry described in Revelation 17:4 & 5, and the abominations spoken of in Revelation 21:27 that (and those who work them) will not enter New [[Heavenly]] Jerusalem.

Luke 16
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 And he said unto them, You are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination [[bdelugma]] in the sight of God.
16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses [[biazo – “to force, i.e. (reflexively) to crowd oneself (into), or (passively) to be seized”]] into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law [[the written word]] to fail.

Revelation 17
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto you the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman [God’s people] sit upon a scarlet colored beast [blood – advice of the mass media], full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns [the church and her creations – false doctrines which give her power].
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations [[bdelugma]] and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon [confusion – tohuw] The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations [[bdelugma]] Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman [the unfaithful people of God], and of the beast [mass media] that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns [the church and the creations that give her power].
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit [the projection of bad advice, and the never-ending fall away from God it produces], and go into perdition [perishing]: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains [seats of God where the fallen church sits as if it is God], on which the woman sits.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth [[the final totally corrupt church that is part of Babylon: ruled by the common delusions that rule all the corrupt institutions of this evil generation]], and is of the seven, and goes into perdition [perish in the total desolation come from their abominations].
12 And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings [[the powers, all civil governments]], which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast [these are the creation of those sitting in Gods seats, which they project and use to keep Gods people under confusion’s rule].
13 These have one mind. [[common confusion turned insanity]], and shall give their power and strength unto the beast [[without the LORD’s Spirit]].
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is LORD of LORDs, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he said unto me, The waters which you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns [false doctrines [[spawning corruption in civil government]]] which you saw upon the beast [[[insanity without the LORD’s Spirit]] projected through mass media], these shall hate the whore [the people of God], and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with [[hell’s]] fire.
17 For God has put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast [the mass media and the culture it has created], until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which you saw is that great city [[Babylon]], which reigns over the kings of the earth.

Revelation 18 [the end of Confusion – Babylon]
1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened [[given understanding]] with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird [[that flies in heaven, the places where understanding should be found and is no longer]].
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she has filled fill to her double.
7 How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the LORD God who judges her.
9 And the kings [[the ten horns]] of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is your judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that your soul lusted after are departed from you, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from you, and you shall find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to naught. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast [[ballo]] dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, you heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets; for God has avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast [[ballo]] it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down [[ballo]], and shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in you; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in you; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in you;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in you; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in you: for your merchants were the great men of the earth; for by your sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Revelation 21
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the LORD God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defiles, neither whatsoever works abomination [[bdelugma]], or makes a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Revelation 22
1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the LORD God gives them light: and they shall reign forever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the LORD God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Psalms 12
1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering lips and with a double heart [mind] do they speak.
3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud [presumptuous] things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is LORD over us?
5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffs [speaks evil and misleading opinions: delusions] at him.
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 You shall keep them, O LORD, you shall preserve them from this [evil] generation forever.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.

15 December 2024

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.

The word rendered “sins” in Ezekiel 18:4 above is the many times used word chata’, meaning “to miss; hence (figuratively and generally) to sin; by inference, to forfeit, lack, expiate, repent, (causatively) lead astray, condemn.”

The LORD, beginning above, leads us in the surrounding verses to understand its intended message: that life (understanding) and death (ignorance) are found in this sin (misleading by misinterpretation).

To preface this understanding, God’s people rejecting the truth of the “sealed book” is the greatest aspect (cause) of misinterpretation. Throughout Scripture, we are told the book, the written word of God, is sealed until the end. Those interpreting it either reject this widely stated truth or must believe the end came long ago when their fathers, whose words they follow and repeat, began to misinterpret it.

The above is the mystery of iniquity already at work, which Paul speaks of, in 2 Thessalonians 2:7, as already at work. Paul then describes it as the “working of Satan,” with lying signs and wonders (of false prophets), after which the LORD comes (with correction to those who’ve “waited” for, expected, Him – which is the love of His truth these workers of iniquity reject).

Paul warns, in Acts 20:29, that grievous wolves (scattering and devouring) would come after his departure and not spare the flock.

Friends, I tell you the truth that all the writers of God’s lasting word, inspirited by the LORD, knew the Book was to remain sealed until this moment, “waiting” for the LORD to send His first begotten (I Am), to crown him by its unsealing. All these writers, therefore, wrote in a manner in which the true meaning, the understanding they were conveying, remained sealed.

Matthew 24
33 So likewise you, when you shall see all these things [which have until now been sealed], know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Truly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away [as they have], but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knows no man [because it is sealed until this moment], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark [here alone, where all the living are protected from the words of men],
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Acts 20
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I Am pure [seeing the LORD] from the blood of all men [misleading none].
27 For I have not shunned to declare [speaking with the LORD voice] unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown to those who are without this understanding] has made you overseers, to feed the church of God [giving this understanding], which he has purchased with his own blood [giving His life to deliver this message].
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves [among those who know this truth] shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore, watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace [these treasures revealed], which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified [are purified of corruption, and therefore see the LORD].
33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel [which is the root of all evil].
34 Yea, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 I have shown you all things, how that so laboring [diligently seeking] you ought to support the weak, and to remember the [pure] words of the LORD Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give [there is a greater blessing in giving this word] than to receive.

John, speaking of understanding that comes only by the voice of God heard, says it is first heard (while sealed) as seven thunders, and then (now) from the seventh angel, whose voice ends the mystery of God.

Revelation 10
1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud [with full understanding that left the earth and was held there]: and a rainbow [the light divided into many colors, like Joseph’s coat] was [light rightly divided as a crown] upon his head, and his face [presence] was as it were the sun [the full understanding of the Church], and his feet as pillars of fire [protecting God’s people who followed Him in His ways in this time of light]:
2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea [His way is among humanity], and his left foot on the earth [His way is here on the earth],
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars [the second face of the LORD’s unfolding presence manifested]: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices [the sound of the light, understanding heard as the voice of the LORD unknown].
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not [because they are sealed until this end].
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And swore by him that lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should [here and now] be time no longer [in this end time when the book is unsealed]:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets [who knew their work would be sealed until this time].
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven [this place of full understanding] spoke unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which stands [with this work that was done] upon the sea and upon the earth.
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make your belly bitter [knowing it must be spoken from the mouth again], but it shall [when spoken as received] be in your mouth sweet as honey.
10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter [and knew it had come from my mouth again].
11 And he said unto me, You must prophesy [speak this same word of the LORD as received from Him] again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

In the context of the corruption of the written word over the many years when God’s people slept and the book was sealed to all but His elect (those He chooses), Ezekiel precedes the title verse with the following:

Ezekiel 18
1 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
2 What mean you, that you use this proverb concerning the land [‘adamah – this new generation I Am creating] of Israel, saying, “The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?”
3 As I live, says the LORD God, you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.

The word rendered “sour grapes” is the four-times used word bocer, meaning “unripe grapes.” It speaks of fruit eaten before it was time, by those throughout history who have presumptuously interpreted what God sealed (in the book), which has ruined their children’s mouths.

Ezekiel 18
14 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that see all his father’s sins which he has done, and considers [ra’ah – sees, understands what has been done], and does not such like,
15 That has not eaten upon the mountains [not eaten the words of the corrupt institutions of church and state], neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel [which men created and put in My place and called by My name], has not [with their creations] defiled [the minds] his neighbor’s wife,
16 Neither has oppressed any, has not withheld the pledge [not sworn falsely to things that aren’t true], neither has spoiled by violence, but has given his bread [this word from the mouth of God, by which man lives] to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment [to protect them from the elements of understanding, which men corrupted],
17 That has taken off his [wicked] hand [the violence of oppression] from the poor [those without worldly power], that has not received usury nor increase [the bondage of excessive interest and inflation], has executed my judgments, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
19 Yet say you, Why? does not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.
20 The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 All his transgressions that he has committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? says the LORD God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
24 But when the righteous turn away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All his righteousness that he has done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned [chata’], in them shall he die.
25 Yet you say, The way of the LORD is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
26 When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dies [as a consequence] in them; for his iniquity that he has done shall he die.
27 Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
28 Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 Yet says the house of Israel, The way of the LORD is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, says the LORD God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions [pesha’ – revolting against My rule], whereby you have transgressed [pasha’ – trespassing into things forbidden]; and make you a new heart [uncorrupted mind] and a new [holy] spirit: for why will you die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dies, says the LORD God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live you.

The first time the word bocer appears is in Isaiah 18:5, where the LORD speaks of and to His people here and now.

Isaiah 18
1 Woe to the land [‘erets – the earth] shadowing [blocking the light] with wings [the voice of falsely so-called wise men], which is beyond [this other side, after] the rivers [the words that have flowed into the sea: humanity] of Ethiopia [covering it in darkness]:
2 That send [to which the LORD sends] ambassadors [tsiyr – with this errand, as birth pains] by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters [with these words], saying, Go, you swift messengers [mala’k – the angels of the LORD, speaking this word as received], to a nation scattered and peeled [mowrat – only used here and below, meaning obstinate and separated from the LORD], to a people terrible [fearing men] from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth] the rivers [words of men] have spoiled!
3 All you inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth [‘erets], see you, when he lifts up an ensign [nec – the pole upon which Moses lifted the fiery serpent in the wilderness; like the son of man must be lifted, so this voice is heard and exalted above all other voices] on the mountains; and when he blows a trumpet [this voice heard calling all to gather to the LORD, into His ONE BODY], hear [shama’ – and obey] you.
4 For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest [of all My work and the book will be sealed, until the end], and I will consider in [diligently search] my dwelling place [My throne in the cloud] like a clear [speaking plainly] heat [revealing My word frozen there, to be sent as the latter rain in this time of war] upon herbs [the new life springing forth on this third day], and like a cloud of dew [understanding appearing on the earth on this new day] in the heat of harvest [gathering all the elements of understanding into this exposition].
5 For afore [paniym – I will manifest My presence in] the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape [bocer – the fruit that wasn’t ready] is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off [karath] the sprigs [zalzal – only used here, from an almost identical word meaning to shake or quake, speaking the things created by men shaken and removed] with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches [ntiyshah – only used three times, speaking of their battlements]. [Jeremiah 5:10 Go you up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements {ntiyshah}; for they are not the LORD’s.]
6 They shall be left together unto the [and God’s people shall be freed and united] fowls of the mountains [by this understands risen with Him into His new governments here on the earth], and to the beasts [those who remain without the LORD’s Spirit] of the earth: and the fowls shall summer [their days shall be long] upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter [have little light] upon them.
7 In that time shall the present [shay] be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts [a man of war], the mount Zion [His government upon the earth].

The three times used word shay, meaning a gift, is said to probably be from shavah, meaning “to level, i.e. equalize; figuratively, to resemble; by implication, to adjust (i.e. counterbalance, be suitable, compose, place, yield, etc.).”

Isaiah 28
22 Now, therefore, be you not mockers [luwts – the “scorners” of Isaiah 29:20, the “teacher” of Isaiah 43:27, which we know from Job 33:23 speaks of an “interpreter”], lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD God of hosts a consumption [kalah – a full end], even determined [charats – and decreed] upon the whole earth [‘erets].
23 Give you ear, and hear [shama’ – and obey] my voice; hearken, and hear [shama’ – and obey] my speech.
24 Does [not] the plowman plow [the earth] all day to sow [to plant a new crop there]? does he open [pathach – reveal by His mouth what was sealed] and break the clods of his ground [‘adamah – this new generation that was hardened by a lack this word from heaven]?
25 When he has made plain [shavah] the face [paniym – His presence] thereof, does he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
26 For his God does instruct [yacar – correct] him to discretion [mishpat – in this judgment], and does teach [yarah – flows this understanding into] him.

Isaiah 29
6 You shall be visited [paqad] of the LORD of hosts [a man of war, in whom the LORD manifests His presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth] with thunder, and with earthquake [ra’ash – the “shaking” that bring the dead bones together – Ezekiel 37:7], and great noise [qowl – His voice here heard], with storm and tempest [ca’ar – the whirlwind from where the LORD’s voice is heard as His, changing the face of the earth as He moves upon the darkened deep, and light {understanding} comes into being], and the flame of devouring fire [from His mouth].
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel [the lion of God – the second face of the LORD’s unfolding presence manifested], even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision [realizing everything they created while they slept in death were creations of their sleeping minds].
8 It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty [like in Isaiah 34:11 – void of understanding]; or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion [the LORD’s new government on the earth].
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder [what you are experiencing]; cry you out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep [tardemah – this is Abram’s “deep sleep,” spoken of in Genesis 15:12], and has closed your eyes [and you have seen nothing you say you’ve seen in His word]: the prophets and your rulers, the seers has he covered [in the darkness of their own ignorance].
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book [the written word of God] that is sealed [until now when it is here opened as the LORD crowns His anointed with His understanding], which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed [by the LORD]:
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth [claiming they know Me], and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart [minds] far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men [as ignorant of Me as those they teach]:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [eye opening] work among this people [who will hear My voice and realize {see} My presence], even a marvelous work and a wonder [an experience they will not understand until they hear My voice as the One speaking]: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid [but yet, even though I have told them this would come, in their pride in untrue things, they continue looking for their dreams to come true].
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark [in ignorance], and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down [calling your corruption truth and truth corruption] shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay [molded into whatever the LORD chooses]: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon [purity seen on high] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest [a new crop of upright men]?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity [‘ophel – the things obscured], and out of darkness [out of ignorance].
19 The meek [who shall inherit the earth] also shall increase their joy in the LORD [seeing, realizing, His presence], and the poor [without worldly power] among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one [‘ariyts – in great power, the king of Babylon] is brought to naught, and the scorner [luwts – teachers misinterpreting My word] is consumed [kalah], and all that watch for iniquity are cut off [karath]:
21 That make a man an offender for a word [claiming they are offended by this true word of God], and lay a snare for him that reproves [corrects] in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught [their worthless words].
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham [from his deep sleep], concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding [biynah], and they that murmured [against Me] shall learn doctrine.

Isaiah 43
18 Remember you not the former things, neither consider the things of old [which your fathers corrupted].
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers [of these pure life-giving waters] in the desert.
20 The beast [those who were without My Spirit] of the field shall honor me, the dragons [tan – men as serpents and whales who devoured My people with their wide open mouths and swallowed them into hell] and the owls [men who hunt souls in the darkness]: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall [open their mouths and] show forth my praise.
22 But you have not called upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel.
23 You have not brought me the small cattle of your burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with an offering, nor wearied you with incense.
24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, neither have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices: but you have made me to serve with your sins, you have wearied me with your iniquities.
25 I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins.
26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare you, that you mayest be justified.
27 Your first father has sinned, and your teachers [luwts – the scorners who misinterpreted My word, and robbed My people of the life there in its understanding] have transgressed [trespassed into the place forbidden] against me [even after they were told it is sealed until this moment].
28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary [who did this], and have given Jacob to the curse [plainly warned of], and Israel to reproaches [gidduwph – these men’s reviling: scorning and vilifying this word of God].

The word gidduwph only appears two other times, Isaiah 51:7 and Zephaniah 2:8.

Isaiah 51
3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody [the word of God as a song He’s put in our mouths].
4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people; the isles [dry places without this word] shall wait upon [qavah – expect] me, and on my arm shall they trust.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens [the old and corrupt understanding] shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 Hearken unto [shama’ – and obey] me, you that know righteousness, the people in whose heart [mind] is my law; fear you not the reproach of men, neither be you afraid of their revilings [gidduwph].
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from [the last] generation to [the first of the new] generation.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Are you not it that has cut Rahab [the proud], and wounded the dragon?
10 Are you not it which has dried the sea, [and sealed] the waters of the great deep; that has made the depths of the sea [revealed] a way for the ransomed to Passover [from death into life]?
11 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return [to this understanding in the LORD’s presence], and come with singing [this word] unto Zion [His throne, government, on the earth]; and everlasting joy [in this realization] shall be upon their head [in their mind, for all shall know Me]: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
12 I, even I, am he that comforts you: who are you, that you shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
13 And forgets the LORD your maker, that has stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and have feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 The captive exile hastens [mahar – are quickened into life] that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread [this word from the mouth of the LORD] should fail.
15 But I am the LORD your God, that divided the sea, whose [proud] waves roared [as if they were speaking My word, when they were speaking their own corruption]: The LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war] is his name [His identity].
16 And I have put my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand [My work], that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, You are my people.
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, which have drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; you have drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
18 There is none [no not one] to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any that takes her by the hand [not one] of all the sons that she has brought up.
19 These two things are come unto you; who shall be sorry for you? desolation and destruction, and [caused by] the famine [without this word of God], and the sword [and then refusing it when He gives it]: by whom shall I comfort you [lead you into all truth]?
20 [All of] Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
21 Therefore hear [shama’ – My word and obey] now this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22 Thus says your LORD the LORD, and your God that pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; you shall no more drink it again:
23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict you; which have said to your soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and you have laid your body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over [‘abar – trodden under foot by those thinking they would thereby pass from death into life].

Jeremiah 31
17 And there is hope in your end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness], says the LORD, that your children shall come again to their own border [the beginning of this new earth].
18 I have surely heard Ephraim [God’s people in this generation, meaning both heap of double ruin and heap of double blessing, “double” referring to the dead here raised to life, as the children of Joseph: the one separated from his brethren until he is revealed as the king of their salvation] bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore, my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, says the LORD.
21 Set you up waymarks, make you high heaps: set your heart toward the highway, even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
22 How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass [cabab – be led by and gather around; referring us to its use in Deuteronomy 32:10] a man [I Am].
23 Thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war], the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless you, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
26 Upon this I awaked [from Abram’s deep sleep], and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
27 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah [into the earth] with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, says the LORD.
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape [bocer], and the children’s teeth are set on edge.
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape [bocer], his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was a husband unto them, says the LORD:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, says the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts [minds]; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Job 33:23
14 For God speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 He is chastened [corrected] also with pain upon his bed [while he sleeps], and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20 So that his life abhors bread [this word from the mouth of the LORD], and his soul dainty meat [deep understanding that strengthens].
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
23 If there be a messenger [mal’ak – an angel of the LORD’s presence] with him, an interpreter [luwts], one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness:
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favorable unto him: and he shall see his face [paniym – the LORD presence, after hearing His voice] with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
27 He looks upon men, and if any say, I have sinned [chata’], and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light [this understanding].
29 Lo, all these things works God oftentimes with man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

Zephaniah 2
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab [men whose mouths are the gates of hell], and the revilings [gidduwph] of the children of Ammon [those who exalt their words above the LORD’s words], whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border [qbuwl – this limit, where their proud wave shall be stopped].
9 Therefore as I live, says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
10 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.
11 The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish [end all the words of] all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, everyone from his place, even all the isles [dry places that were without this word] of the heathen [who haven’t heard of seen the present LORD].
12 You Ethiopians [all those covered in darkness: their own ignorance of which they are ignorant] also, you shall be slain by my sword [this word of the LORD, which they refuse].

Psalms 68
1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him [paniym – His presence].
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melt before [paniym – His presence as] the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence [paniym] of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice [realize] before [paniym – the presence of] God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rides upon the heavens by his name [identity] Jah, and rejoice [realize] before him [paniym – His presence].
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 God set the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 O God, when you went forth before [paniym – Your presence with] your people, when you did march through the wilderness; Selah:
8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence [paniym] of God: even Sinai [the places of misleaders in power] itself was moved at the presence [paniym] of God, the God of Israel.
9 You, O God, did send a plentiful rain, whereby you did confirm your inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Your congregation has dwelt therein: you, O God, have prepared of your goodness for the poor.
11 The LORD gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 Though you have been lien among the pots, yet shall you be as the wings [voices] of a dove [knowing this is the expected end reached] covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon [His pure word sent from the cloud where it was frozen, reserved, for this moment of war, sent to protect His people from corruption: false light].
15 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan [is fruitful]; a high hill as the hill of Bashan [is fruitful].
16 Why leap you, you high hills? this is the hill which God desires to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it forever.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels [messengers with His word]: the LORD is among them, as in Sinai [sent against thorns: misleaders], in the holy place.
18 You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts [presents] for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
19 Blessed be the LORD, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the LORD belong the issues [towtsa’ah – the exit] from death.
21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goes on still in his trespasses.
22 The LORD said, I will bring again from Bashan [fruitfulness], I will bring my people again from the [darkened] depths of the sea:
23 That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same.
24 They have seen your goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary [of His presence].
25 The singers [repeating this word He’s given us] went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Bless you God in the congregations [repeating this word], even the LORD, from the fountain of Israel [the rock from where this word flows].
27 There is little Benjamin [the sons born by the LORD’s right hand] with their ruler, the princes of Judah [the elect remnant, the new crop of leaders] and their council, the princes of Zebulun [who exalt the word of the LORD above all other voices], and the princes of Naphtali [who wrestled with the present LORD until they heard and then saw Him].
28 Your God has commanded your strength: strengthen, O God, that which you have wrought for us.
29 Because of your temple at [New Heavenly] Jerusalem shall kings bring presents [shay] unto you.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submits himself with pieces of silver: scatter you the people that delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt [away from those oppressing them]; Ethiopia [those covered in their own ignorance] shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Sing unto God, you kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the LORD; Selah:
33 To him that rides upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old [before corruption]; lo, he does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe you strength [this understanding] unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds [where understanding is when it leaves the earth].
35 O God, you are terrible out of your holy places: the God of Israel is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

Psalms 76
1 In Judah [among His elect remnant] is God known: his name [identity] is great in Israel.
2 In Salem [peace] also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion [His throne on the earth].
3 There broke he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stouthearted [obstinate] are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands [the end they sought in their corrupt works].
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?
8 You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth [who will inherit it]. Selah.
10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.
11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents [shay] unto him that ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the [evil] spirit of princes: he is terrible [yare’ – to be revered or feared by] the kings of the earth.

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

8 – 13 December 2024

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

The above, Ezekiel 30:21, speaks of the LORD destroying the evil (oppressors) in power, bringing upon them the confusion (Babylon) they wrought, in a just and inevitable reward (recompense). As we well know, Babylon (mass confusion) is the product of ruling by forced delusion, deception, and mass gaslighting as manipulation to implement (an evil agenda of) untenable policies.

The LORD speaks of Him breaking their hold on us, and them not being “healed,” from the words nathan and rphu’ah. The first of these (nathan) means to give, speaking of their words (sword), which will “not” again be heard (heeded) by those awakened and enlightened to their evil by its effects (corruption and destruction) on heaven and earth. The second word (rphu’ah) means medicine, which speaks of the manipulation (more of the cause producing the effect needing remedy) they prescribe as a cure (solutions which, intentionally, cause more of the same effect), which, the intellectually enlightened, the sane, will never again accept.

The word “roller” is the once-used Hebrew word chittuwl, meaning covering or bandage; a definition we know, according to the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon, is also that of the twice-used word ‘apher, a word briefly discussed in the previous post.

The Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definition is, (#666 ‘apher) from the same as 665 (in the sense of covering); a turban:–ashes.

As we’ve seen in other previous posts, these later words speak of the ashes of the earth’s ruin: the mask behind which the false prophets hide. When this mask of ruin (the destruction of truth, denying it is essential to maintaining sanity and civilization – denying the ultimate truth that there is a God and He does intervene in the affairs of man) is taken away, when we see evil and good in a clear light, it comes by truth restored to its rightfully elevated station.

The word rendered “broken,” speaking of the effect of this word of God against the means of the (wicked) oppressors, is shabar, which speaks of the breaking forth of water signaling the birth of God’s new creation: His people in this first generation of the resurrection.

Ezekiel 30
8 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt [Mitsrayim – double straits, a way narrowed by obstacles that must be avoided to pass through death into life], and when all her helpers [all trying to save the oppressors so they can continue to oppress] shall be destroyed [shabar – broken by this word of the LORD].
9 In that day shall messengers [mal’ak – with this message from the LORD] go forth from me in ships [the church] to make the careless Ethiopians [those covered by ignorance; darkness] afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it comes.
10 Thus says the LORD God; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of the false prophets that cause the confusion that now rules the delusionally insane world].
11 He and his people with him, the terrible [‘ariyts – in great power, the king of Bablon] of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land [‘erets – the earth]: and they shall draw their swords [destroying words] against Egypt, and fill the land [‘erets – the earth] with the slain [chalal – the “deadly wound” of verse 24 below].
12 And I will make the rivers dry [void of truth, without this word of the LORD], and sell the land [‘erets – the earth] into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land [‘erets – the earth] waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it.
13 Thus says the LORD God; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph [the capital]; and there shall be no more a prince of the land [‘erets – the earth] of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land [‘erets – the earth] of Egypt.
14 And I will make Pathros [those who falsely interpret My words] desolate, and will set fire in Zoan [the places departed from Me and My truth], and will execute judgments in No [those disrupting order, disturbing the waters].
15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin [the misleaders], the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No [those disrupting order, disturbing the waters].
16 And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin [the misleaders] shall have great pain, and No [those disrupting order, disturbing the waters] shall be rent asunder, and Noph [the capital] shall have distresses [a narrowing – be dismantled, the obstacles removed] daily.
17 The young men of Aven [worthless wickedness] and of Pibeseth [whose mouths loathe truth, and who without cause hate God’s People] shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity.
18 At Tehaphnehes [referring us to Jeremiah 46:14, when pity is shown to the lowly] also the day shall be darkened [when this understanding comes to the ignorant], when I shall break [shabar] there the yokes of Egypt [joining the oppressed to those oppressing them]: and the pomp of her strength [power to deceive] shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud [from where this understanding comes] shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I Am the LORD.
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year [this time of confusion], in the first month [of the new creation], in the seventh day [this time of the LORD’s light] of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21 Son of man [I Am], I have broken [shabar] the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
22 Therefore thus says the LORD God; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break [shabar] his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries [‘erets – the earth].
24 And I [the LORD] will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon [the works of confusion that continue to rule over the oppressors], and put my sword in his hand [this word, truth that shows them to be insane: unable to accept reality and abandon their delusions]: but I will break [shabar] Pharaoh’s arms, and he shall groan [na’aq – only appearing here, and in Job 24:12 where we’re told it’s their rebellion against the light, which cause their pain and destruction] before him [paniym – at this manifested presence of the LORD] with the groanings [n’aqah – only used three other times, speaking of the groanings of the oppressed, to whom the LORD comes to save] of a deadly wounded man [chalal].
25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land [‘erets – the earth] of Egypt.
26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries [‘erets – the earth]; and they shall know that I Am the LORD.

Job 24
1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from [tsaphan – or kept secret by] the Almighty, do they that know [chazah – perceive] him not see his days [of His light]?
2 Some remove [nasag – not knowing they have reached] the landmarks [gbuwlah – this limit of the sea decreed by the LORD]; they violently take away flocks [rob His people of this understanding], and feed thereof [ra’ah – as devouring shepherds].
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert [wander aimlessly], go they forth to their work; rising betimes [shachar] for a prey [to devour those seeking the LORD]: the wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
6 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing [without protection from the corrupt element of the wicked], that they have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains [the corrupt governments of church and state], and embrace the [false] rock for want of a shelter.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11 Which make oil [their destructive words they claim are a cure] within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12 Men [oppressed] groan [qa’an] from out of the city, and the soul of the [deadly] wounded [chalal] cries out: yet God laid not [these men’s] folly to them [“folly” here is tiphlah, which only appears elsewhere in Job 1:22 where its Job {saying he would} not charging God “foolishly” when what He gave him was taken away, and Jeremiah 23:13, saying “And I have seen folly {tiphlah} in the prophets of Samaria {who put idols in My place, which they call by My name}; they prophesied in Baal {in the creations of their own minds}, and caused my people Israel to err.”]
13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14 The murderer rising with the light [withholding this word] kills the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief [that removes all understanding].
15 The eye [seeing for themselves] also of the adulterer [those who’ve left the LORD to follow wicked misleaders] waits for the twilight [to take away this light from those in need], saying, No eye shall see me: and disguises his face [with the ashes {666} of the earth’s ruin].
16 In the dark [by the ignorance they’ve created] they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime [when this light has come, and the destroyers come thieves saying their same old corruption is understanding]: they know not the light [this understanding in which is life].
17 For the morning [this light risen in this new day] is to them [the wicked] even as the shadow of [their own] death: if one knows them [that they are the wicked], they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 He is swift [qal – referring us to Isaiah 19:1] as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholds not the way of the vineyards. [Isaiah 19:1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rides upon a swift {qal} cloud {from where comes these waters that were there frozen for this moment}, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved {shaken} at his presence {paniym – the LORD manifested in His word sent from the cloud}, and the heart {minds – the corrupt foundation elements} of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.]
19 Drought and heat [those in the fires without this word shall] consume [rob from those who need] the snow waters: so does the grave [sheol – hell] those which have sinned.
20 The womb shall forget him [they shall not be born again from death into life]; the worm [the animated flesh of the dead here in hell] shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken [shabar] as a tree [cut off from this life-giving root].
21 He [the wicked] evil entreats [ra’ah – with evil shepherds] the barren that bears not: and does not good [refusing to give this word as received] to the widow.
22 He draweth also the mighty with his power [to deceive]: he riseth up [when the words of the wicked are exalted], and no man is sure of life.
23 Though it [this word that is the LORD’s good shepherding] be given him to be in safety, whereon he [the LORD] rests; yet his [the LORD’s] eyes are upon their ways [their own ways, choosing to give their own corrupt words and refusing to give His as commanded].
24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they [those holding God’s people down {katecho}] are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25 And if it be not so now [‘ephow], who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

This last sentence refers to (“now”) when it is realized, which is described in Job 19.

Job 19
21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O you my friends; for the hand of God has touched me.
22 Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 Oh that my words were now [‘ephow] written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock [I Am] forever!
25 For I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand at the latter day [‘acharown] upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms [the dead] destroy this body, yet in my [new] flesh shall I [after hearing Him] see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another [zuwr – and not a stranger]; though my reins [my innermost thought, the foundational elements of my understanding] be consumed [kalah – be fully ended] within me [so that I Am raised to new life here in my new flesh].
28 But you should say, “Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter [exposing those falsely speaking in the LORD’s name] is found in me?”
29 Be you afraid of the sword [rejecting this word of His correction]: for [His] wrath [‘aph] brings the punishments of the [the consequences warned of by His word] the sword, that you may know there is a judgment [duwn – is a righteous cause].

Job 35
1 Elihu [He is the LORD] spoke moreover, and said,
2 Think you this to be right, that you said, “My righteousness is [your understanding, words, and ways are] more [correct] than God’s?”
3 For you said, “What advantage will it be unto you?” and, “What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin [blinding corruption]?”
4 I will answer you [God’s hated people], and your companions [accusers speaking their own understanding in the name of the LORD] with you.
5 Look unto the heavens [this place of full understanding], and see; and behold the clouds [from where this understanding comes] which are higher than you.
6 If you sin, what do you against him [His word stands and yours is seen to be worthless]? or if your transgressions [vain words] be multiplied, what do you unto him?
7 If you be righteous [if you, Job and his three friends, are correct in some of your words (as they are), but are without full understanding, not see who is speaking, as they in their partial understanding condemn themselves], what give you him? or what receives he of your hand?
8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; and your righteousness may profit the son of man.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm [the strength, power] of the mighty.
10 But none says, “Where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night [His word to be spoken in this time of ignorance of His presence];
11 Who teaches us more than the beasts [men without His Holy Spirit] of the earth, and makes us wiser than [strengthening us so we rise in full understanding, like] the fowls of heaven?”
12 There they cry [to the LORD for help], but none gives answer [with this word, as the LORD commands], because of the pride of evil men [who hold them down {katecho – let}, and will let {hold them down, keeping them from rising into heaven like eagles}, until they are taken out of the way {mesos – our midst} – see 2 Thessalonians 2:7].
13 Surely God will not hear vanity [their worthless words, the same old corruption that led them here], neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Although you [lacking faith] sayest you shall not see him, yet judgment [duwn] is before him [paniym – manifesting His presence in His word: His sword]; therefore trust you in him.
15 But now, because [lacking faith and trust] it is not so, he has visited [paqad – appeared as the Chief Oversee of the earth] in his anger [‘aph]; yet he knows it not in great extremity:
16 Therefore does Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.

As we know, as were told in the later verses of Job, Job next hears the voice of Elihu speaking as the word of the LORD from the whirlwind, and he then, putting his hand over his mouth, realizes he is seeing the LORD.

Job 38
1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind [ca’ar], and said,
2 Who is this that darkens counsel [speaks ignorance] by words without knowledge?
3 Gird up [prepare your mind to change positions] now your loins like a man; for I will demand of you, and answer you me.
4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if you have understanding.
5 Who has laid the measures thereof, if you know [who is speaking these things into existence]? or who has stretched the line upon it [rightly declaring the time and My presence as promised]?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner-stone [I Am] thereof; [This verse is a direct contrast to Isaiah 34:11, which, speaking of the condition {“without form and void”} the earth had become before the creation, says “He {the LORD} shall stretch out upon it the line of {assess it to be} confusion {tohuw – without form}, and the stones of {built upon the foundation of confusion} emptiness {bohuw – void of light: understanding}.” We’re told earlier in verse 8, that “For it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.” The “controversy” is who is better suited to rule the world, the LORD who created it or the men who’ve made it without form and void}?”]
7 When the morning stars [rising with this light of the new day] sang together [repeating this same word], and all the sons of God [by receiving His correction] shouted for joy [realizing His presence opened their mouths as commanded]?
8 Or who shut up the sea [humanity at large] with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9 When I made the cloud [from where comes this understanding] the garment thereof, and thick darkness [their own ignorance] a swaddling-band for it [binding humanity, to protect it from its own flailing, like with bars and doors],
10 And broke [shabar] up for it my decreed place [choq – with my righteous declarations, decrees], and set bars and doors,
11 And said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves [of the wicked] be stayed?

Isaiah 29
6 You shall be visited [paqad] of the LORD of hosts [a man of war, in whom the LORD manifests His presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth] with thunder, and with earthquake [ra’ash – the “shaking” that bring the dead bones together – Ezekiel 37:7], and great noise [qowl – His voice here heard], with storm and tempest [ca’ar – the whirlwind from where the LORD’s voice is heard as His, changing the face of the earth as He moves upon the darkened deep, and light {understanding} comes into being], and the flame of devouring fire [from His mouth].
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel [the lion of God – the second face of the LORD’s unfolding presence manifested], even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision [realizing everything they created while they slept in death were creations of their sleeping minds].
8 It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty [like in Isaiah 34:11 – void of understanding]; or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion [the LORD’s new government on the earth].
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder [what you are experiencing]; cry you out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep [tardemah – this is Abram’s “deep sleep,” spoken of in Genesis 15:12], and has closed your eyes [and you have seen nothing you say you’ve seen in His word]: the prophets and your rulers, the seers has he covered [in the darkness of their own ignorance].
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book [the written word of God] that is sealed [until now when it is here opened as the LORD crowns His anointed with His understanding], which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed [by the LORD]:
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth [claiming they know Me], and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart [minds] far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men [as ignorant of Me as those they teach]:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [eye opening] work among this people [who will hear My voice and realize {see} My presence], even a marvelous work and a wonder [an experience they will not understand until they hear My voice as the One speaking]: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid [but yet, even though I have told them this would come, in their pride in untrue things, they continue looking for their dreams to come true].
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark [in ignorance], and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down [calling your corruption truth and truth corruption] shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay [molded into whatever the LORD chooses]: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon [purity seen on high] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest [a new crop of upright men]?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity [‘ophel – the things obscured], and out of darkness [out of ignorance].
19 The meek [who shall inherit the earth] also shall increase their joy in the LORD [seeing, realizing, His presence], and the poor [without worldly power] among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one [‘ariyts – in great power, the king of Babylon] is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed [kalah], and all that watch for iniquity are cut off [karath]:
21 That make a man an offender for a word [claiming they are offended by this true word of God], and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught [their worthless words].
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham [from his deep sleep], concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding [biynah], and they that murmured [against Me] shall learn doctrine.

Jeremiah 46
10 For this is the day of the LORD God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the LORD God of hosts has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shall you use many medicines; for you shall not be cured.
12 The nations have heard of your shame, and your cry has filled the land: for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together
13 The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of the false prophets that cause the now mass delusion that covers the world in insanity] should come and smite the land of Egypt [of the oppressors].
14 Declare you in Egypt [this land of oppression], and publish in Migdol [the towers from which they fire their machines of war, their poisonous words], and publish in Noph [among their powers, the mighty to deceive] and in Tahpanhes [who show no pity]: say you, Stand fast, and prepare [kuwn – when My word is established, to direct] you; for the sword shall devour round about you.
15 Why are your valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
16 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt [the house of the oppressors] is but a noise [sha’own – whose words flood against us, rushing as machines of war against us]; he has passed the time appointed [mow’ed – used only one other time in Jeremiah, rendered “appointed time,” as the LORD speaks of creatures knowing theirs, but His people not knowing His judgment. He says it’s when His people refuse to turn from their wickedness, while saying they’re wise and His law is with them].
18 As I live, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
19 O you daughter dwelling in Egypt [in oppression], furnish yourself to go into captivity: for Noph [the powers of oppression] shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
20 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction comes; it comes out of the north [the darkness – from their own ignorance].
21 Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation [pquddah – from paqad, punishment].
22 The voice [of the Chief Overseer] thereof shall go like a serpent [the voice of the son of man, raised as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness]; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood [as was Gideon to Midian and her kings].
23 They shall cut down her forest, says the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north [the ignorant].
25 The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, says; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:
26 And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says the LORD.
27 But fear not you, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar off, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
28 Fear you not, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD: for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven you: but I will not make a full end of you, but correct you in measure; yet will I not leave you wholly unpunished.

Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, says the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves [qeber – the tombs where their dead bodies are kept]:
2 And they shall spread them before the sun [the church they’ve corrupted], and the moon [civil government also totally darkened and draining the life of those they tyrannically rule], and all the host of heaven [all God’s people at large], [their Father’s wife] whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts.
4 Moreover you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD; Shall they fall [away to these misleaders], and not arise? shall he turn away [from their LORD], and not return?
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return [to this truth by My correction].
6 I hearkened [qashab – I let His words pierce my ear and end enter my mind] and heard [shama’ – and obeyed His voice I heard], but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? everyone turned to his course, as the horse rushes into the battle [carrying the men taking them there].
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times [mow’ed]; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD [at this time He appointed].
8 How do you say, We are wise, and the law [this written word] of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore will I give their wives [those they mislead] unto others, and their fields to them [that do obey the LORD’s commands] that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness [they judge their success by their worldly prosperity, knowing not that they are without heavenly treasure], from the prophet even unto the priest every one [is puffed up, swelled with pride, and] deals falsely.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace [they sit still while their enemies are among them warring against their bodies and minds: life, liberty, and property].
12 Were they ashamed when they [under these misleaders] had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – now when the LORD has appeared as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
13 I will surely consume them [with this word from My mouth], says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them [as it is occurring before their eyes, they see it and know it, but those they follow lead them into sitting still].
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities [the places that hear and obey the voice of the LORD, who have joined His ONE BODY, and subordinate their will to His good leadership], and let us [put our hands over our mouths and] be silent there: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16 The snorting of his horses [under misleaders running into the battle against us] was heard from Dan [which is the judgment of God, as He warned and all have forgotten]: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones [the communists joined with the wicked in power]; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you [whose venom is in their mouths speaking nothing except lies, yet their army follows them, and their known lies, because of the enmity], which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says the LORD.
18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed]: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities [worthless ways far from God]?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black [my people chose death and remain blind to the LORD’s presence, while claiming they are wise and see everything]; astonishment has taken hold on me [the dead body of Christ].
22 Is there no balm in Gilead [in this testimony]; is there no physician there [prescribing this cure]? why then is not the health [‘aruwkah] of the daughter of my people recovered?

Job 42
1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
2 I know that you can do every thing, and that no thought can be withheld from you.
3 [You said unto me: God’s hated people] “Who is he that hides counsel without [by lacking] knowledge [of Me]?” therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not [but you showed us].
4 [The LORD said unto Job] “Hear [shama’ – My voice, and obey], I beseech you, and I will speak: I will demand of you, and declare you unto me [that you know Me].”
5 [And Job said] “I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear: but [after I heard, realized, it is Your voice] now my eye sees you.”
6 Wherefore [when Job realized the LORD’s presence, he said] I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes [of the ruin of heaven and earth realized to be the result of our ignorance of Your presence].
7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite [those whose God is their worldly prosperity, which they claim validates their worldly {falsely so-called} wisdom], My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends: for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job [here and now] has.

The “obscurity” spoken of in Isaiah 29:18 above, from the nine times used word ‘ophel, leads us to understand it’s the darkness out of which the LORD has saved us. It’s speaking of the sun setting: when understanding, light, and life have left the earth.

The word first appears in Job 3:6, where it is the “darkness” from where leviathan, “mourning,” was about to rise. As we know, leviathan is there defined as the false accusation of Job’s three friends, through whom Satan worked with misinterpretation and misrepresentation of God’s word.

Job 3
2 And Job [being born as dead flesh, without full understanding, into this new creation] spoke, and said,
3 Let the day [understanding] perish wherein I was born, and the night [this time when ignorance covers the earth] in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light [understanding] shine upon it.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud [wherein is held the understanding removed from the earth] dwell upon it; let the blackness [ignorance of the LORD’s presence] of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness [‘ophel] seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months [let the time darkness ends not be known].
7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice [declaring the realization of the LORD’s presence] come therein.
8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning [leviathan – the rivers of cursing that come from those speaking darkness in the LORD’s name].
9 Let the stars [God’s people thereby darkened] of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day [even now when it has come upon them]:
10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb [who bore Job as dead flesh into this darkness], nor hid sorrow from my eyes.
11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the [earth’s] belly?

Job 10
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore, see you my affliction;
16 For it increases. You hunt me as a fierce lion [roaring these words]: and again you show yourself marvelous upon me [opening my eyes daily].
17 You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation upon me; changes [this new flesh] and war [of light] are against [the ignorance and death of] me.
18 Wherefore then have you brought me forth out of the womb [as dead flesh]? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land [‘erets – this earth] of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 A land of darkness [‘ophel], as darkness [‘ophel] itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order [ceder – only used here, meaning when things are rightly arranged], and where the light [understanding] is as darkness [ignorance of the LORD].

Job 23
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his [mercy] seat [where He is realized in the conversation]!
4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength [understanding] in me.
7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered forever from my judge.
8 Behold, I go forward [into this time], but he is not there [found]; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
9 On the left hand, where he does work, but I cannot behold [see] him: he hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
10 But he knows the way that I take [until I hear Him, and then see Him]: when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 My foot has held [understood] his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12 Neither have I gone back [departed] from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
13 But he is in one mind [to raise His ONE BODY to life from death], and who can turn him? and what his soul desires, even that he does.
14 For he performs the thing that is appointed [choq – decreed] for me: and many such things are with him.
15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 For God maketh my heart soft [makes our minds changeable], and the Almighty troubles me [His Spirit moves me to understand this time and His presence in the light]:
17 Because I was not cut off before [paniym – by His manifested presence in] the darkness [‘ophel], neither has he covered [kacah – neither has He kept secret in] the darkness [‘ophel] from my face [paniym – His presence manifested].

Job 28
1 Surely there is a vein for the silver [where it’s found in the earth], and a place for gold where they fine it [in the fires].
2 Iron [strength, like silver] is taken out of the [belly of the] earth, and brass [these words, like gold] is molten out of the stone [in tribulation’s fires brought from God’s people].
3 He sets an end [qets] to darkness, and searches out all perfection: the stones of darkness [‘ophel, with affinity to Ophir: fine gold, these treasures, brought from the belly of the earth], and the shadow of death.
4 The flood [of these life-giving waters] breaks out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
5 As for the earth, out of it comes bread [these treasures from the mouth of God, by which man lives]: and under it is turned up as it were fire [the tribulation that brings His word from His people].
6 The stones of it [God’s people from whom His word flows] are the place of sapphires: and it has dust of [from the earth’s ruin comes] gold.
7 There is a path which no fowl [those in places where understanding should be found] knows, and which the vulture’s [feeding on the dead] eye has not seen:
8 The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion [those who say they are speaking God’s word] passed by it.
9 He [the LORD] puts forth his hand upon the rock [He sends His word by one who can trusted]; he overturns the mountains [the corrupt governments of church and state] by the roots [showing the foundations have been corrupted].
10 He cuts out rivers among the rocks [new ways to send His pure word to His people]; and his eye sees every precious thing.
11 He binds the floods [the corrupt word of the wicked in power] from overflowing; and the [corrupt] thing that is hid [below the surface of their words] brings he forth to light [understanding].
12 But where shall [this] wisdom be found? and where is the place of [this] understanding?
13 Man knows not the price thereof [is a life given]; neither is it found in the land of the living [but rather it is found here among the dead].
14 The depth [of man’s understanding] says, It is not in me: and the sea [all humanity] says, It is not with me.
15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir [these treasures found here in the darkness], with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of [this] wisdom is above rubies.
19 The topaz of Ethiopia [cover by darkness] shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20 Whence then comes [this] wisdom? and where is the place of [this] understanding?
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept closed from the fowls of the air.
22 Destruction and death [where it is now found] say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears [as the voice of God, that comes before we see Him].
23 God [alone] understands the way thereof, and he [alone] knows the place thereof.
24 For he looks to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
25 To make the weight for the winds [His Almighty Spirit that moves upon the waters of the darkened deep]; and he weighs [orderly distributes] the waters [His word] by measure.
26 When he made a decree [choq – declared, promised] for the rain [that He would send this word from heaven], and [make] a way for the lightning of the thunder [for this understanding to be heard as His voice]:
27 Then did he see it [is His presence manifested to us], and [and by His voice] declare it; he prepared it, yea, and [here and now] searched it out.
28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Jeremiah, after only using the word mow’ed twice in Jeremiah, then uses it six times in Lamentation., again describing the “appointed time:” now when the LORD gathers His “congregation:” His ONE BODY.

In these chapters (Lamentations 1 & 2) Jeremiah is speaking of himself as the LORD’s One dead Body, without His One Mind, and therefore possessed by misleaders among them in power (as teachers and preachers) who’ve led them into (and hold them in) desolation.

Lamentation 1
3 Judah [the leaders of God’s people] is gone into captivity [possessed by an evil spirit] because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwells among the heathen, she finds no rest: all her persecutors overtook [nasag – only used three other times by Jeremiah {Jeremiah 39:5, 42:16, & 52:8}, twice speaking of Zedekiah {the righteousness of Jehovah} being overtaken, and the other below] her between the straits [metsar – speaking of going into Egypt {metsraiym}, describing pressure from oppressors].
4 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts [mow’ed – because this is her appointed time and none obey or enter in the LORD’s One mind {as in Job 23:13 above}: One Body]: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
5 Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before [their minds are possessed by] the enemy.

Jeremiah 42
13 But if you say, We will not dwell in this land [‘erets – this good earth, as the LORD created it and saw it was good], neither obey [shama’] the voice of the LORD your God,
14 Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt [into oppression], where [surrendering to their ways] we shall see no war, nor hear [shama’ – nor obey] the sound of [qowl – this voice of the LORD] the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread [nor have this word from His mouth, by which we live]; and there will we dwell:
15 And now therefore hear [shama’ – and obey] the word of the LORD, you remnant of Judah; Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If you wholly set your faces [paniym – My presence in you] to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword [this word you will there learn to refuse], which you feared, shall overtake [nasag] you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine [without this word], whereof you were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there you shall [without My word] die.
17 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence [the dis-ease that comes without My good leading]: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them [the consequences of following evil leading].
18 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As my anger and my fury has been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when you shall enter into Egypt: and you shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and you shall see this place [this good earth as I created it] no more.
19 The LORD has said concerning you, O you remnant of Judah [leaders of God’s people]; Go you not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
20 For you dissembled in your hearts, when you sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.

Lamentations 2
11 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am [the LORD’s one flesh body has] become vile.
12 Is it nothing to you, all you that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
13 From above has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them: he has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back: he has made me desolate and faint all the day.
14 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he has made my strength to fall, the LORD has delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
15 The LORD has trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he has called an assembly [mow’ed – this appointed time] against me to crush [shabar – by these waters breaking forth] my young men [who reject the ancient good ways]: the LORD has trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.

Lamentations 2
5 The LORD was as an enemy: he has swallowed up Israel, he has swallowed up all her palaces: he has destroyed his strong holds, and has increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 And he has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he has destroyed his places of the assembly [mow’ed]: the LORD has caused the solemn feasts [mow’ed] and sabbaths [this appointed time of course correction, when He interrupts our words and works] to be forgotten in Zion, and has despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
7 The LORD has cast off his altar, he has abhorred his sanctuary, he has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise [qowl – their voice to be heard, instead of the voice of the LORD] in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast [mow’ed – this appointed time].
8 The LORD has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he has stretched out a line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.

18 Their heart cried unto the LORD, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give yourself no rest; let not the apple of your eye cease [be pupils taught to see as He sees].
19 Arise, cry out in the night [this time when ignorance of the LORD covers the earth]: in the beginning of the watches [seeing in the darkness] pour out your heart [His mind in you] like water before the face [paniym – manifesting the presence] of the LORD: lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger [without this word] in the top of every street.
20 Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom you have done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the LORD?
21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword [this word they reject]; you have slain them in the day of your anger; you have killed, and not pitied.
22 You have called as in a solemn day [mow’ed – at this appointed time] my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD’s anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up has my enemy consumed [kalah – made a full end].

Psalms 37
1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be you envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land [‘erets – this new earth He is creating], and truly you shall be fed [with this word from the LORD’s mouth].
4 Delight yourself also in the LORD: and he shall give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light [this understanding], and your judgment as the noonday [this full understanding come].
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon [qavah – expect] the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, you shall diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plot against the just, and gnashes upon him with his teeth.
13 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he sees that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken [shabar].
16 A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken [shabar]: but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18 The LORD knows the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
21 The wicked borrow, and pay not again: but the righteous show mercy, and gives.
22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lends; and his seed is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 For the LORD loves judgment, and forsakes not his saints; they are preserved forever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land [‘erets – the earth], and dwell therein forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speak wisdom, and his tongue talks of judgment.
31 The law of his God is in his heart [mind]; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watch the righteous, and seek to slay him.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait on [qavah – expect] the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land [‘erets – the earth]: when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power [‘ariyts – as Babylon], and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of [‘achariyth – in these last days] that man is peace [Shiloh – Genesis 49:10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.].
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of [‘achariyth – in these last days] the wicked shall be cut off [karath].
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength [understanding] in the time of trouble [tsarah – this time of tribulation].
40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

4 – 7 December 2024

The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

Friends, you who know the present LORD, His will is above (Isaiah 32:4), speaking of the repentance of those once quick to condemn me for declaring His truth, who now understand with us that it is His presence manifested for this purpose.

Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king [truly I Am] shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
2 And a man [I Am, a man of war] shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest [the storms of misleading agitating all humanity]; [and the word of God from Him through me flows] as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great Rock [from where these waters flow, in which men can trust] in a weary land.
3 And the eyes of them that see [as the LORD sees] shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear [shama’ – and obey] shall hearken [qashab – letting His word pierce their ears and enter their minds, hearing His voice shall see His presence].
4 The heart [minds] also of the rash [mahar – speaking of those being quickened to finish the work, meaning “to be liquid or flow easily, i.e. (by implication); to hurry (in a good or a bad sense); often used (with another verb) adverbially, promptly”] shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers [‘illeg – those repeating their own unintelligible words] shall be ready [mahar – are quickened] to speak [this word] plainly.
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal [as they are], nor the churl [kiylay – those withholding this word] said to be bountiful.
6 For the vile person will [be understood to be] speak[ing] villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl [kiylay – those withholding this word] are evil: he devises wicked devices to destroy the poor [those without worldly power] with lying words, even when the needy [the lowly] speak right [giving this word as commanded].
8 But the liberal devises liberal things [freely giving these words as receives, as commanded]; and by liberal things shall he stand [for all humanity].
9 Rise up, you women [wise virgins] that are at ease [sleeping, not doing the LORD’s work as commanded]; hear my voice [here, as it is], you careless daughters; give ear unto my speech [obey, be a doer not just a hearer].
10 Many days and years shall you be troubled, you careless women [not doing the LORD’s work]: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
11 Tremble [be shaken, to shake the wicked from you], you women that are at ease; be troubled, you careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
12 They shall lament for the teats [long for the teaching that raises children], for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers [the misleader and deceivers who’ve now come among you misleading all]; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city [that once knew my presence]:
14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken [without just leadership]; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens [the belly of the earth where beasts lodge, the habitation of the dead without My Spirit] forever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
15 Until the spirit [of the LORD] be poured upon us from on high [to finish the work and cut it short], and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness [this now desolated earth], and righteousness remains in the fruitful field [where My people sow this word].
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace [of all the new earth I Am creating]; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19 When it shall hail [this word frozen, reserved, in heaven, sent in this time of war, against the current crop of corrupt and incorrigible leaders], coming down on the forest [the corrupt the world calls upright]; and the city shall be low in a low place [in hell].
20 Blessed are you that sow [this word, giving it as commanded] beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass [doing the work; and carrying this word].

Can men who have been antichrists be saved? With the LORD, all things are possible.

Do not wrestle with His word, this word, to your own destruction (apoleia – perdition).

2 Peter 3
3 Knowing this first, that there shall [have] come in the last days scoffers [not believing the LORD is present with us, in us], walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep [into death], all things continue as they were from the beginning of the [old] 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 [for this appointed time of the LORD’s just war against the darkness] 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 [always with us, hidden only in men’s ignorance] 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; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men] shall melt with fervent heat, the [old corrupt] 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] 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 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].

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “divers” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding all these divers elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place [Psalms 8] testified [of the son], saying, “What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit [paqad – manifest Your presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth, in] him?
7 You made him a little lower than the angels [as we’ve seen, the words here are chacer’ elohiym, telling us the son is intentionally sent lacking the full knowledge of God; the Psalm then saying this is planned so the son {I Am: His presence in this moment manifested in the flesh He’s chosen} can be crowned by the Father with His understanding: revelation only known to the Father]; you crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him over the works of your hands:
8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we [in our blindness] see not yet [that] all things [are] put under him [not hearing and obeying this word as the Father’s voice, as it is].
9 But we [again] see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death [sent without understanding], [now, when we see Him again] crowned with glory and honor [raised to life by the light of the Father in him]; that he by the grace of God should taste death [and be raise from it] for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain [archegos – only used three other times; in Acts 3:15, speaking of the son as the “Prince” of life, who the religious and civil powers denied, conspired against, and killed; Acts 5:31 as the risen “Prince” who is seated at the Father’s right hand {from where Habakkuk 3:4 says, in this writing, comes His hidden power as rays of light}; and Hebrews 12:2 saying He is “the Author and Finisher of our Faith”] of their salvation perfect [teleioo – made complete, filled full] through sufferings [the same affliction, tribulation, doubting the LORD is present, the daka’, that, through proof of him {I Am}, makes us ready, willing, to be quickened from corruption into life].
11 For both he that sanctifies [purges us from corruption, making us holy] and they who are sanctified [purged and made holy] are all of one [Body of Christ]: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare your name [identity] unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing [repeating the words You’ve given me] praise unto you.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me [when our mouths are opened with His words, are for signs and wonders to God’s people at large].
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he [the Father] also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death [coming lacking understanding] he might [self-manifesting His light, life, in the flesh, to] destroy him that had the power of [to deceive men into ignorance of God and to instead follow them into] death, that is, the devil [the misleaders who put themselves in His place];
15 And deliver them [the misled] who through fear of death [not understanding it is a state of mind], were all their lifetime subject to bondage [but you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free from death].
16 For truly he took not on him the nature of angels [a mere messenger given a message]; but he took on him the seed of Abraham [to which the LORD promised a son, an heir who would become as many as the sand of the shore and the stars of heaven].
17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren [born into dead flesh here in hell], that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted [to doubt the Father’s presence with him here in hell, to from it raise us], he is able to succor [rescue] them that are tempted [to doubt Him].

As seen in previous posts, the number (666) of man, speaks of the number assigned to the Hebrew word ‘apher by James Strong in the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary. (Yes, It’s that simple.)

The word only appears twice, both speaking of the “ashes” that cover the faces of the prophet(s), speaking the word they say are the LORD’s. It is speaking of them as antichrist, speaking against Him with their own words they claim are His, until they make haste (mahar) and remove the ashes (the evidence of the ruin of the old and now ended world that was without this word heard).

Psalms 25
8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 The meek [who, showing the LORD’s mercy, choose to correct and not destroy] will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For your name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.
12 What man is he that fears the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.

In context:

1 Kings 20
28 And there came a man of God, and spoke unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus says the LORD, Because the Syrians have [limiting the LORD’s presence which they experienced] said, The LORD is God of the hills [against the wicked in power], but he is not God of the valleys [the lowly people at large], therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
29 And they pitched one over against the other [preparing for war] seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day [this time] the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians [those who exalt their words above this word of God] a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek [with affinity to ‘apher, this speaks of the end {‘ephec} of the antichrists whose words {the ashes of the earth’s ruin in which they hide} are exalted above this word of God], into the city; and there a wall [of lies] fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad [the sons, children, of the false gods {false prophets} whose mouths are the gates holding all in death and hell] fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
31 And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are [I Am a] merciful kings: let us, I pray you, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save your life.
32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Your servant Benhadad says, I pray you, let me live. And he [knowing they are the dead] said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
33 Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it [that I, as did Joseph, call them my brothers]: and they said, Your brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go you, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34 And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from your father, I will restore; and you shall make streets [restoring the LORD’s high way, in His word and work] for you in Damascus [where the LORD’s people are silent and in sorrow], as my father made in Samaria [exalting the voices of devils who told the people their idols were the LORD God]. Then said Ahab [no name appears here in the original text], I [the LORD] will send you away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him [that these children of the false prophets will exalt this word they once opposed, and thereby save themselves from perdition], and sent him away [to do this].
35 And a certain man of the sons [children] of the [false] prophets said unto his neighbor in the word of the LORD, Smite me [for My falsely speaking in the LORD’s name], I pray you. And the man refused to smite him.
36 Then said he unto him, Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion [the second face of the LORD’s unfolding presence, a man roaring His word] shall slay you. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me [for false words in the LORD’s name], I pray you. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him. [the words rendered “smite” and “wounded” are nakah and patsa’, which only appear one other time together, in Song of Solomon 5:7, saying “The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote {nakah} me, they wounded {patsa’} me; the keepers of the walls {of lies} took away my veil {the ashes of the earth ruin} from me.]
38 So the [false] prophet[s] departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes {‘apher – 666, the mark of antichrists} upon his face.
39 And as the king passed by [‘abar – passed from death into life], he [the children of the false prophets] cried unto the king [I Am]: and he said, Your servant [the prophets] went out into the midst of the battle [this war now at hand]; and, behold, a man turned aside [that should have smitten them for their false words in the LORD’s name], and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing [and not smite me], then shall your life be for his life [not known because it’s covering in their lies that remain], or else you shall pay a talent of silver [and your life shall be the price of their betrayal].
40 And as your servant was busy here and there [not diligently keeping the LORD’s word pure and uncorrupted], he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall your judgment be; yourself have decided it.
41 And he [the false prophets] hasted [mahar], and took the ashes [‘apher – the ruin, false words, blinding the world] away from his face; and the king [I Am] of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
42 And he said unto him, Thus says the LORD, Because you have let go out of your hand a man [who refused to smite the false prophets for their false words] whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
43 And the king of Israel [I Am] went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria [against the place where these false prophets put their creation in God’s place and tell His people their lies are their gods].

1 Samuel 2
2 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside you: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren has born seven; and she that has many children is waxed feeble.
6 The LORD kills, and makes alive: he brings down to the grave [sheol – hell], and brings up.
7 The LORD makes poor, and makes rich: he brings low, and lifts up.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust [the ruin of the old earth], and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he has set the [new] world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness [in their ignorance]; for by [human] strength shall no man prevail.
10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder [this voice] upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends [‘ephec] of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new, building it upon the ruin, ashes, of the old]; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn [the power to rule] of his anointed.

The LORD, through the word ‘ephec, leads us, as only He can, into a deeper understanding of this moment as it relates to His commandment that we declare His presence in this word He is speaking. It is by this word, His word, He takes vengeance on His enemies; destroying them and the darkness they’ve chosen and wrought.

Deuteronomy 32
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end [‘achariyth]!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongs vengeance and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none [‘ephec – in this end time, when the old heaven and earth are in ruin, when the earth is without form {tohuw} and void {bohuw}, confused {tohuw} and empty {bohuw}] shut up ‘[‘atsar – and none are gathering God’s people], or left [with understanding].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their [false] rock [from whom worthless words flow] in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection. [As we know, this alludes to an Apocryphal chapter of Daniel which tells of priests who proved their idols were real by placing sacrifices offered to them in a locked room, and when it was unlocked, the sacrifices were consumed {supposedly by their idols}. Daniel spread ashes {‘apher} on the floor of the room, and when it was next unlocked, the priest’s footprints were revealed in the ashes, showing they were the idols, false gods, consuming the sacrifices.]
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice [realizing the present LORD], O you nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land [‘adamah – the new generation I am creating], and to his people.

As we know, the LORD’s vengeance is that He doesn’t force anyone to be saved and enter His kingdom, but He does make all aware the choice to receive it is life and rejecting it is death.

The word “revenges,” in verse 42 above, is par’ah, which only appears one other time, in Judges 5:2, where it is, along with the word para’, together rendered “avenging.”

Judges 5
2 Praise you the LORD for the avenging [par’ah para] of Israel, when the people willingly [opened their mouths with this word] offered themselves.
3 Hear, O you kings; give ear, O you princes; I, even I, will sing [these words] unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
4 LORD, when you went out of Seir [the powers possessed by Satan], when you marched out of the field of Edom [the enemies mixed among us, at war with us], the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped [this understanding], the clouds also dropped water [as the separated elements were rightly ordered into these words].
5 The mountains [the old and corrupt government of church and state] melted from before [paniym – at the presence of] the LORD, even that Sinai [all the misleaders] from before [paniym – at the presence of] the LORD God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar [this sword of the LORD’s vengeance], the son of Anath [was heard], in the days of Jael [the destroyer of those arrayed against us in this war]; the highways [‘orach] were unoccupied, and the travelers [halak] walked [halak] through byways [‘orach – these words allude to verse 10 below, when there is no rightly ordered words heard, which is purity and judgment spoken from God’s people].
7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah [meaning orderly: systematically, rightly arranged words] arose, that I arose a mother [teacher] in Israel.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel [or is the weapon of war understood to be this word of God]?
9 My heart [mind] is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless you the LORD.
10 Speak [this word wherein the LORD’s presence is manifested], you that ride on white asses [carrying the LORD’s presence to His people], you that sit in judgment, and walk [halak] by the way [derek].
11 They that are delivered from the noise [qowl – the voices] of archers in the places of drawing water [where the word of God should be heard from His people], there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to [join the war at] the gates.

Proverbs 4
10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of your life shall be many.
11 I have taught you in the way [derek] of wisdom; I have led you in right paths.
12 When you go, your steps shall not be straitened; and when you runnest, you shall not stumble.
13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is your life.
14 Enter not into the path [‘orach] of the wicked, and go not in the way [derek] of evil men.
15 Avoid [para’] it, pass not by it [‘abar – pass from death into life by avoiding it], turn from it, and pass away [‘abar – by turning from it pass from death into life].
16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
18 But the path [‘orach] of the just is as the shining light [giving understanding to all], that shines more and more unto the perfect [kuwn] day [this time when all things are rightly ordered and we have complete understanding of this moment and the LORD’s presence].
19 The way of the wicked is as darkness [ignorance of this time and the present LORD]: they know not at what they stumble.
20 My son, attend to my words; incline your ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart [mind].
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23 Keep your heart [mind from corruption] with all diligence; for out of it [uncorrupted mind] are the issues of life.
24 Put away from you a froward mouth [that twists truth], and perverse lips put far from you.
25 Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids look straight before you.
26 Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established [kuwn – with perfect understanding].
27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove your foot from evil.

Proverbs 8
1 Does not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She stands in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She cries at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O you simple, understand wisdom: and, you fools, be you of an understanding heart.
6 Hear [shama’ – and obey]; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness [tsedeq]; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain [nakoach – correct] to him that understands, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions [mzimmah – evil conspiring].
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honor are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills were I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass [chuwg – the circuit, beginning to end] upon the face [paniym] of the depth [manifesting His presence by giving this deep understanding]:
28 When he established the clouds above [where understanding is held in heaven when it leaves the earth]: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea [humanity] his decree [choq], that the waters [words of men] should not pass [‘abar – would not bring the dead to life] his commandment [peh – mouth, without His word from His mouth]: when he appointed [chaqaq – by the decrees of His mouth] the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him [paniym – always in the LORD’s presence];
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken [shama’ – obey] unto me, O you children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear [shama’ – obey] instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not [para’ – because doing so is the vengeance of the LORD].
34 Blessed is the man that hears [shama’ – obeys] me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD.
36 But he that sins against me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Proverbs 1
20 Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:
21 She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words, saying,
22 How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But you have set at naught [para’] all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;
27 When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind [the LORD’s Almighty Spirit, from where His voice is heard changing, shaking, heaven and earth]; when distress and anguish comes upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way [they choose], and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkens [shama’ – hears and is obedient] unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Hebrews 10
5 Wherefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body [through which You will speak] have you prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; [2 Peter 1:16 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 Him}.]
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do your will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second [taking away the sacrifice in which He has no pleasure, because it is superficial, only covering sin, never changing the mind to take it away, and in its place inaugurating the sacrifice that pleases Him, long-suffering to change minds, taking away the corruption by His word, His power, that effectually does the work].
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God [from where His power is ministered];
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies [haters] be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified [made holy, cleared of men’s corruption].
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD, I will put my laws into their hearts [making it the foundation of their thought process], and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest [the presence of the Father] by the blood [willing sacrifice] of Jesus [manifesting Jehovah’s Salvation],
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated [inaugurated] for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having a high priest [administrating this dispensation, as His chief overseer] over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled [with the blood of His sacrifice] from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works [speaking His word, in which is the power that effectually works to change the minds of men]:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [episunagoge – only appearing here and in 2 Thessalonians 2:1 where it’s our “gather together” to the LORD Jesus Christ, that only comes after the falling way, the word meaning the complete collection, into His ONE BODY], as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day [this light, understanding] approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under-foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions;
33 Partly, whilst you were made a gazing-stock [held up for public mocking by those who hate us without cause] both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used.
34 For you had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better [kreitton] and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence [waiting for things fully expected], which has great recompence of reward.
36 For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God [speaking as commanded], you might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back [hupostello – fearing, hold back this word], my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back [hupostole] unto perdition [apoleia]; but of them that believe [that this word is the word from the mouth of God] to the saving of the soul.

When Paul, the LORD through (in) him speaking, in 2 Thessalonians 2, tells of the falling away (the apostasy that comes before the LORD appears to gather His people into His ONE BODY) of the wicked, in whom the spirit of Satan works his power to deceive with lying signs and wonders, they are those who now lead God’s people in church and state. Now, as they were already working in Paul’s time, they are those who sit before God’s people, in His place, as if they are Him, to oppose the love of His truth, which is against them, their false teaching, and their positions as lords over God’s people.

As we know, they are the same wicked people spoken of earlier in 1 Thessalonians 2, as Satan not allowing this word of God to be spoken to those who haven’t heard it as the word of God, as it is. These are the same wicked and unreasonable men described in 2 Thessalonians 3, who aren’t giving this word free course, saying, from them we should pray to be delivered.

1 Thessalonians 2
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children,
12 That you would walk worthy of God [renouncing “the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light {understanding} of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2 Corinthians 4], who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us [exactly as here and now], you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works [as the power changing your minds] also in you that believe.
14 For you, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judah are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the LORD Jesus [as the false teachers and devil among us have, through their blinding corruption], and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak [this word of God, as received] to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath [the LORD’s vengeance in the same word, as is spoken of in Hebrews 10:30, quoting Deuteronomy 32:35 & 36] is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see [the LORD’s presence manifest in] your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan [the spirit in them working] hindered us.
19 For what is our hope [we wait for and fully expect], or joy [the LORD’s presence realized in you], or crown of rejoicing [when He is realized working and speaking in us]? Are not even you [who’ve received this word of God as His word, as it is] in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For you are our glory [when His presence is in you manifested] and joy [realized by you and those who through you hear and obey Him].

2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together [apeksunogoge – at His complete collection of His people into His ONE BODY] unto him,
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 [the time of light, understanding, returned] of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day [full understanding returns] shall not come, except there come a falling away [apostasia – standing away from God and His truth, with those who’ve led there by putting themselves in His place, who now resist and oppose Him] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [the many in the pattern of Reuben, who put himself in his father’s place and lost his birthright];
4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God [in His place], showing himself that he is God.
5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now you know what withholds [katecho – holds down, keeping God’s people from rising] that he might be revealed in his time [all the men putting themselves in God’s place, from then until now, who resist and oppose this true word of God, because it opposes them and their confusion by which they rule].
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets [katecho – hold God’s people down] will let, until he be taken out of the way [mesos – from among us].
8 And then [when this word of God has free course and is exalted above the corrupt words of men] shall that Wicked be revealed [apokaloupto – the apocalypse], whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of his mouth [these words He is speaking, as a sword of righteousness], and shall destroy with the brightness [full understanding given] of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of [the apostasia – falling away from God and truth led by the spirit of resistance] Satan with all power [to darken the minds of men] and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that [following them] perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause [choosing to remain in apostasy, fooling those sitting in God’s place] God shall send them strong delusion [insanity now destroying the old and corrupt world], 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 [cleansing you in these pure waters] and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel [believing He is with us, in us speaking and working], to the obtaining of the glory [the manifested presence] of our LORD Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions [paradosis – transmitted, give as received] 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 [paraklesis – the Paraclete, who is with us always, leading us into all truth] and good hope [of the expected end] through grace [the gift of these treasures],
17 Comfort your hearts [parakaleo – receive the message, this conversation with the LORD, into your minds], and establish you [by this present truth] in every good word and work.

2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the LORD may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you [received as the word of God, and not of man]:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable [men who can’t be reasoned with] and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But the LORD is faithful, who shall establish you [in this present truth], and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in the LORD touching you [His word effectually working in you], that you both do and will do [and not just hear] 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 walks disorderly, and not after the tradition [paradosis – transmitted, given] which he received of us.

Hebrews 1
10 And, You, LORD, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:
11 They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels [the messengers He’s sent] said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him [from His flesh He prepared for Himself – His ONE BODY in which He dwells];
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts [these treasures revealed] of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

Hebrews 12
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [messengers sent with this message, to the heirs of salvation to be revealed in these last days of darkness],
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speak better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [this place of full understanding, from the right hand of God the Father]:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace [these treasure we’ve received], whereby we may [obey and] serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Psalms 98
1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he has done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, have gotten him the victory.
2 The LORD has made known his salvation: his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the heathen.
3 He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends [‘ephec] of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise [declaring His presence realized] unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice [in His presence realized], and sing praise.
5 Sing [these words] unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice [qowl] of a psalm.
6 With trumpets and sound [qowl – voice] of cornet make a joyful noise before [paniym – declaring the realized presence of] the LORD, the King.
7 Let the sea roar [Let all humanity declare His word], and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands [Let these words and the words of man come together]: let the hills be joyful [let the governments He is creating declare His presence] together
9 Before [paniym – manifesting the presence of] the LORD; for he comes to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first-ripe fruit.

30 November – 2 December 2024

Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first-ripe fruit.

The LORD begins today, above in Micah 7:1, speaking of His people still bound in darkness (ignorance of Him), held by the thorns and briers (by the mouths of misleaders and deceivers) they followed there. In the Hebrew word bikkuwrah, rendered “first-ripe fruit,” speaking of the first-born from the dead, He is speaking of those who should be the fathers of many children, born in the same way they should have: by receiving the LORD by receiving His word as His.

The only other time the word (bikkuwrah) appears is in Hosea 9:10, where we’re told of when the LORD saw the fathers as “first-ripe” of the fig tree, at her first time.

These chapters speak of this time of the LORD’s visitation. Hosea 10 then begins, like in the title verse, saying, “Israel is an empty vine, he brings forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the [empty] altars; according to the goodness of his land [‘erets – this corrupt earth age] they have made [what they call] goodly images.”

Hosea 10
2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
3 For now they shall say [refusing the LORD’s leading into life], We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant [with death and hell]: thus judgment springs up as hemlock [poison in their words and ways] in the furrows of the field [as two opposing armies].
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven [the idols they put in My place in their worthless houses]: for the people thereof [when they realize they’ve worshipped idols men created, put in My place, and called them by My name] shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it [the idols they created], for the glory thereof, because it [their glory in their idols] is departed from it.
6 It shall be also carried unto Assyria [the communists in power] for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel [the same words that led them into death and hell].
7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water [blown away by My Almighty Spirit moving upon these waters, to bring light to the darkened deep].
8 The high places also of Aven [the worthless houses], the sin [the idols, abominations they put in My place and call by My name] of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn [misleaders] and the thistle [deceivers] shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains [the corrupt governments, institutions of church and state], Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us [quoted in Revelation 6:16].
9 O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah [this a reference to Pashar {Jeremiah 20 in the previous post}, with affinity to Judges 20:4 – 8, tearing the LORD’s dead body {church} in pieces]: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them [nasag – this refers to its only other use in Hosea, in Hosea 2:7].
10 It is in my desire that I should chastise [correct] them; and the people shall be gathered against them when they shall bind themselves in [battle like two armies arrayed] their two furrows [where they planted their iniquity, which springs up as judgment by their own poisonous words].
11 And Ephraim is as a heifer that is taught [this correction – with reference to Jeremiah 31:17 thru 22], and loves to tread out the corn [trample under their feet this fruit from the LORD; speaking of His righteous judgment come, saying in Hebrews 10:29 “Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?”]; but I passed over [‘abar] upon her fair neck [showing them the way from death into life is in these words waiting in their throat to be spoken]: I will make Ephraim to ride [rakab – I will dispatch them for this purpose]; Judah shall plow [the earth], and Jacob shall break his clods [that have hardened without this word from heaven].
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground [niyr – only appearing three other times, all below]: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain [this] righteousness upon you [from heaven – this place of full understanding].
13 You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your [own] way, in the multitude of your mighty men [the consensus of the ignorant who falsely call themselves wise].
14 Therefore shall a tumult [sha’own – voices roaring; the two armies of God’s divided people, without this word warring one against the other] arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman [“fire worshippers” – the communists who’ve kindled hell’s fires] spoiled Betharbel [“the houses of God’s ambush” – His people ignorant and blinded to His presence] in the day of battle [both names only appearing here] the mother [the teachers who brought them up] was dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 So shall Bethel [the corrupt houses of God, where they worship idols they put in My place] do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning [when this understanding has come as the light of this new day] shall the king of Israel [the communists sitting in power] utterly be cut off.

Proverbs 13
13 Whoso despises the [this] word shall be destroyed: but he that fears the commandment shall be rewarded.
14 The law [this word from the mouth of God by which man lives] of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15 Good understanding gives [the LORD’s] favor: but the way of transgressors is hard [hardening their minds to the LORD’s favor, like ground hardened without this word from heaven].
16 Every prudent man deals with knowledge [of God]: but a fool lays open his folly [foolishness that comes by ignorance].
17 A wicked messenger [mal’ak – angels with misleading messages] falls into mischief [ra’ – by their own evil words]: but a faithful ambassador is health [marpe’ – is the cure for evil messages].
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses [this] instruction: but he that regards [shamar – guards from corrupt] reproof [this correction] shall be honored.
19 The desire [repentance unto salvation] accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20 He that walks with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools [who refuse to depart from evil] shall be destroyed.
21 Evil pursues sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid.
22 A good man leaves an inheritance [of good] to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner [who refuses this correction] is laid up for the just [who do receive it].
23 Much food is in the tillage [niyr] of the poor [who break up the hardened ground]: but there is that [which] is destroyed for want of judgment [that breaks up hardened ground].
24 He that spares his rod [of this correction] hates his son: but he that loves him chastens [corrects] him quickly.
25 The righteous eat [this word from the mouth of God] to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked [who choose to remain ignorant] shall want [understanding of this moment and the presence of the LORD].

Proverbs 21
1 The king’s [I Am] heart [mind] is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of [this life-giving] water: he [the LORD] turns it whithersoever he will.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD ponders the hearts [knows the motives, the foundations, upon which men act].
3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
4 A high look, and a proud heart [mind], and the plowing [niyr – the ground broken up] of the wicked, is sin.
5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty [acting without diligent examination] only to want.
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro [the worthlessness falsely called knowledge learned] of them that seek death.
7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
8 The way of man is forward [twisting and perverting truth] and strange [to the LORD and those who know Him]: but as for the pure [who see the LORD always present with us], his work is right.
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman [an ever-agitated church] in a wide house.
10 The soul of the wicked desires evil: his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes [because they see as man sees, and refuse to see as God sees].
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
12 The righteous man wisely considers the house [church] of the wicked: but God overthrows the wicked for their wickedness [as in 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 {conversation with the LORD}; but you have made it a den of thieves. 14 And the blind {unable to see the present LORD} and the lame {who went astray} came to him in the temple; and he healed them.].
13 Whoso stops his ears at the cry of the poor [who are without worldly power], he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard [by the LORD].
14 A gift in secret pacifies anger: and a reward [held back] in the bosom strong wrath.
15 It is joy [the realization of the LORD’s presence] to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
16 The man that [is lame and] wanders out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

Jeremiah 4
1 If you will return, O Israel, says the LORD, return unto me: and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight, then shall you not remove [nuwd – shall not wander in the wilderness any longer].
2 And you shall swear, The LORD lives, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations [those who haven’t known Him] shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
3 For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah [the leaders of God’s people] and Jerusalem [His people at large], Break up your fallow ground [niyr – hardened without this word from heaven], and sow not among thorns [misleaders speaking their own words].
4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart [the flesh covering your mind and keeping you from seeing the LORD present with us, in us], you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
5 Declare you in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow you the trumpet in the land [‘erets – the earth, declaring it is the time when the LORD’s presence is revealed in His word heard from us]: cry, gather together [with Him into His ONE BODY], and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities [in His presence].
6 Set up the standard [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted, as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness] toward Zion [where the LORD reigns over the earth through His people in whom He dwells]: retire, stay not [in the old and corrupt world]: for I will bring evil from the north [revealing the ignorance of the old], and a great destruction [that the wicked in power have wrought].
7 The lion [roaring as if they are gods] is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles [those who haven’t known the LORD] is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make your land [‘erets -the old earth] desolate; and your cities shall be laid waste [as they are], without an inhabitant [without any living man].
8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day, says the LORD, that the heart [sound mind] of the king [the communists now in power in church and state] shall perish, and the heart [minds] of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished [without any understanding of this moment of the LORD’s manifested presence], and the prophets shall wonder [what they experiencing].
10 Then said I, Ah, LORD God! surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, [by their false prophets] saying, You shall have peace; whereas the sword [this word they refuse] reaches unto the soul.
11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places [the words of men power] in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
12 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me [ending the old heaven and earth]: now also will I give sentence against them [that all but the very few elect remnant are dead and here in hell].
13 Behold, he [I Am] shall come up as clouds [the full understanding that left the earth], and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind [the LORD’s Almighty Spirit, from where His voice is heard]: his horses are swifter than eagles [the final face of the LORD’s unfolding presence manifested in the wheel within a wheel]. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled [without any understanding].
14 O Jerusalem, wash [with these waters from heaven] your heart [minds] from wickedness [that blinds you], that you mayest be saved. How long shall your vain [worthless] thoughts lodge within you?
15 For a voice [of the LORD from a man] declares from Dan [this judgment], and publishes [shama’ – is heard and obeyed] affliction from [in this time of tribulation] mount Ephraim [to the leader of God’s people in this last generation, which will become the first of the new].
16 Make you mention to [zakar – remember the LORD] the nations [all who haven’t known Him]; behold, publish [shama’ – hear and obey His voice] against Jerusalem, that watchers [natsar – who as watchmen guard and protect God’s people] come from a far country [merchaq – as the LORD decreed], and give out their voice against the [ruined] cities of Judah.
17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she has been rebellious against me, says the LORD.
18 Your way and your doings have procured these things [the end, desolation, of the old heaven and earth] unto you; this is your wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reaches unto your heart [your corrupted and ignorant minds].
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart [mind]; my heart [mind] make a noise [of war] in me; I cannot hold my peace, because you have heard [shama’ – and obeyed], O my soul, the sound of the trumpet [calling all to gather to the present LORD], the alarm of war.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land [‘erets – earth] is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains [that keep the winds of false doctrine out of the dwelling place] in a moment.
21 How long shall I see the standard [nec – the son of man lifted, that the LORD’s voice heard from him is exalted above all other voices], and hear [shama’ – and I Am obedient to] the sound of the trumpet [that called me to gather to Him in ONE BODY]?
22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish [foolishly rebellious] children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23 I beheld [seeing as the LORD sees] the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void [tohuw bohuw; one of three times these words appears together; the same as Genesis 1:2, the condition the earth had become before the new creation and the return of light; and Isaiah 34:11 rendered “confusion” and “emptiness,” speaking of the earth’s foundation and what is built upon it]; and the heavens [where understanding should be found], and they had no light [no understanding].
24 I beheld the mountains [the governments of church and state], and, lo, they trembled [ra’ash – this voice shaking them and bringing the dead bones of the body of Christ together and from death into life], and all the hills moved lightly [were realized to be of little value].
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no [living] man, and all the birds of the heavens [that were lifted there by the LORD’s understanding] were fled.
26 I beheld [I saw by the LORD’s eyes that which all men are blind to], and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
27 For thus has the LORD said, The whole land [‘erets – the whole earth] shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end [kalah].
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black [without understanding]; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent [not change My mind about it], neither will I turn back from it.
29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of [qowl – this voice of the LORD from] the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a [living] man dwells therein [Babylon – the confusion that now rules over the darkened world].
30 And when you are spoiled, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with crimson, though you deck you with ornaments of gold, though you rent your face with painting, in vain shall you make yourself fair; your lovers will despise you, they will seek your life.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child [the ONE BODY of Christ into this new creation], the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewails herself, that spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers [who have made all the world dead, needing to be born again into life].

Jeremiah 31
17 And there is hope in your end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness], says the LORD, that your children shall come again to their own border [the beginning of this new earth].
18 I have surely heard Ephraim [God’s people in this generation, meaning both heap of double ruin and heap of double blessing, “double” referring to the dead here raised to life, as the children of Joseph: the one separated from his brethren until he is revealed as the king of their salvation] bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore, my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, says the LORD.
21 Set you up waymarks, make you high heaps: set your heart toward the highway, even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
22 How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass [cabab – be led by and gather around; referring us to its use in Deuteronomy 32:10] a man.

Deuteronomy 32
10 He [the LORD] found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about [cabab], he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye [His pupil He taught to see as He sees].
11 As an eagle [the final face of the unfolding presence of the LORD] stirs up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, takes them, beareth them on her wings [the words that are the strength by which we rise into the heavens: full understanding of His presence to which we are joined]:
12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

Hosea 9
7 The days of visitation [pquddah – when the LORD is seen as the Chief Overseer of the earth] are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad [raving with insanity], for the multitude of your iniquity, and the great hatred [the refusal of your false prophets to receive and give this true word of God].
8 The watchman [tsaphah – with whom are the LORD’s secrets] of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and [the false prophets are] hatred in the house of his God.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah [killing and scattering God’s people into pieces]: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit [paqad – the same as pquddah] their sins.
10 [As the Chief Overseer of the earth] I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe [bikkuwrak] in the fig tree at her first time [re’shiyth – the first word of Genesis 1:1, meaning the first of the first-fruits]: but they went to Baalpeor [the gods of this world, idols men put in God’s place, whose mouths are forever wide open devouring man and swallowing him into the belly of hell]; and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory [as fading flower] shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a [living] man left [and they all died at the end of the old and corrupt heaven and earth]: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them [from their sight]!
13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus [the false rock], is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer [who have made all the world dead, needing to be born again into life].
14 Give them, O LORD: what will you give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken [shama’ – and obey] unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations [the dead, without My Spirit, who haven’t known Me].

Micah 7
1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first-ripe fruit [bikkuwrah].
2 The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asks, and the judge asks for a reward; and the great man, he utters his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4 The best of them is as a brier [a deceiver]: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge [misleader]: the day of your watchmen [tsaphah – seeing the LORD’s secrets] and your visitation [pquddah – the LORD appearing, seen again, as the Chief Overseer of the earth] comes; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Trust you not in a friend, put you not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of your mouth from her that lieth in your bosom.
6 For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house [the family of God at war with itself].
7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8 Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness [ignorance], the LORD shall be a light [understanding] unto me.
9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light [understanding], and I shall behold [see as He sees] his righteousness.
10 Then she that is my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD your God? my eyes [seeing as the LORD sees] shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 In the day that your walls [of the LORD’s protection, line upon line, precept upon precept] are to be built, in that day shall the decree [choq – at this time when light has come] be far removed [rachoq – against and ending the evil decrees of wicked men in power, by which they rule].
12 In that day also he shall come even to you [away] from Assyria [the communists in power], and [away] from the [evil] fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river [away from their misleading and manipulative words], and from sea to sea [from the last generation of the old world into the first of the new], and from mountain to mountain [from their old corrupt governments of church and state, into the new wherein dwells the LORD’s righteousness].
13 Notwithstanding the land [‘erets – the earth] shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Feed your people with your rod [of Your righteous correction], the [ONE] flock of your heritage [who inherit this earth], which dwell solitarily [separated from the old and corrupt heaven and earth] in the wood, in the midst of Carmel [this land that is as the garden of Eden]: let them feed in Bashan [in fruitfulness, as the first of My first-fruits] and Gilead [by this Testimony of the LORD], as in the days of old [as in all eternity].
15 According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt will I show unto him marvelous [eye opening] things [and you will see Me, by seeing as I see].
16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might [in the LORD]: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth [and stop their evil words against Him], their ears shall be deaf [none shall listen to their evil words].
17 They shall lick the dust [the ruin of the earth they destroyed] like a serpent [as deceiver], they shall move out of their holes like worms of [their animated dead flesh on] the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of you.
18 Who is a God like unto you, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retains not his anger forever, because he delights in mercy.
19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 You will perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which you have sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

Psalms 27
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When you said, Seek you my face [paniym – Your presence in Your word]; my heart said unto you, Your face [paniym – Your presence in Your word], LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not your face [paniym – Your presence in Your word] far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother [my leaders and teachers] forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty [chamac – wrong: violence against truth].
13 I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land [‘erets – the earth] of the living.
14 Wait on [qavah – expect] the LORD [now in the earth of the living]: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen [give understanding to] your heart [mind]: wait, I say, on [qavah – expect] the LORD.

The word David uses in verse 12 above, rendered “such as breath out,” speaking of God’s people, his (David’s) people, who are false witnesses against him, is the once-used word yapheach, meaning they are focused on proving themselves right, to (pridefully and ignorantly) prove wrong the present LORD who is speaking by David. They are fighting an unwinnable battle. They have no idea I Am the one, His man of war, He’s made invincible.

It (yapheach) is from the once-used word yaphach, which is rendered “bewail” in Jeremiah 4:31 above.

Jeremiah 4
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child [the ONE BODY of Christ into this new creation], the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewails [[yaphach]] herself, that spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers [who have made all the world dead, needing to be born again into life].

The word chamac, describing the “cruelty” of God’s people now speaking against David (the LORD’s beloved, I Am), is the LORD referring us to David using the word in 2 Samuel 22:3 & 49. As we know, this chapter (2 Samuel 22) is repeated as Psalms 18, with a few variations, one of which is verse 3, adding chamac, telling us it is what the LORD saves me from.

The word (chamac) also appears in Ezekiel 7:11 & 23, where we’re told it’s the time when the LORD’s anointed is crowned (tsphiyrah – which is the morning come): when this “violence” has risen into wickedness.

Ezekiel 7
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Also, you son of man, thus says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih – the King of king and LORD of lords] unto the land [‘adamah – this generation I Am creating] of Israel; An end [qets], the end [qets] is come upon the four corners of the land [‘erets – the earth where My people are scattered].
3 Now is the end [qets] come upon you, and I will send my anger upon you, and will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense upon you all your abominations [tow’edah].
4 And my eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations [tow’ebah] shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I Am the LORD.
5 Thus says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih]; An evil [ra’], an only evil [ra’], behold, is come.
6 An end [qets] is come, the end [qets] is come: it watches [quwts – it awakens, in the morning] for you; behold, it is come.
7 The morning [tsphiyrah – the diadem of Isaiah 28:5, the crown upon the head of the LORD of the army of heaven] is come unto you, O you that dwell in the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth]: the time is come, the day of trouble is near [qarowb], and not the sounding again [hed – only used here, meaning the evil decrees] of the mountains [from the corrupt governments of church and state].
8 Now will I shortly [qarowb] pour out my fury upon you, and accomplish [kalah – as used twice in Daniel 12:7; to finish] my anger upon you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations [tow’ebah].
9 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense you according to your ways and your abominations [tow’ebah] that are in the midst of you; and you shall know that I Am the LORD that smites.
10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning [tsphiyrah – the crowning] is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
11 Violence [chamac] is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time is come, the day draws near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14 They [the faithful of the LORD] have blown the trumpet [giving ample warning], even to make all ready; but none goes to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 The sword [this word they refuse] is without [the camp], and the pestilence [the disease that comes upon the wicked at My presence manifested] and the famine [God’s people refusing His word] within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 But they that escape [palat] of them shall escape [paliyt], and shall be on the mountains [going into God’s new government] like doves of the valleys [as signs to the lowly of the end reached], all of them mourning [the end of the old and corrupt heaven and earth], every one for his iniquity.
17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold [all the things the old and corrupt world thought were of value] shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it [the things in which they trust] is the stumbling-block [mikshowl – the likeness of hell, following things desired] of their iniquity.
20 As for the beauty of his ornament [the words with which the LORD has clothed, adorned, us], he set it in majesty [ga’own – He exalted it above all worldly value]: but they made the images of their abominations [tow’ebah] and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it [My majesty] far from them.
21 And I will give it [images you’ve created] into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
22 My face [paniym – My presence] will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret [tsaphan] place [so none see any value in the treasure]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23 Make a chain [rattowq – only used elsewhere in 1 Kings 6:21, where it a “chain” overlayed {tsaphah} with gold, desired worldly value, that hides the true treasure within {the ‘abar – the way to pass over from death into life} in the oracle {the holy of holies, in the LORD’s presence manifested in the conversation}]: for the land is full of bloody crimes [mishpat – a judgment against truth tellers], and the city is full of violence [chamac – against this word of God].
24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses [as I have]: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled [as they are: Isaiah 28:8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.].
25 Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26 Mischief [hovah, from havah] shall come upon mischief [hovah], and rumor [shmuw’ah – this voice of Jehovah heard] shall be upon rumor [shmuw’ah – His voice teaching, precept upon precept, line upon line] then shall they seek a vision of the [false] prophet[s]; but the law shall perish from the priest[s], and counsel from the ancients [all the robbers who’ve put themselves in My place]. [The word hovah, referring to the effects of the strong delusion the LORD has sent upon the insane, only appears one other time, in Isaiah 47:11, saying “Therefore shall evil come upon you; you shall not know from whence it rises: and mischief {hovah} shall fall upon you; you shall not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know {because you’ve been chained in your own ignorance}.”]
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land [‘erets – the earth] shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts [mishpat – according to their corrupt judgment, by the precedent of their evil shall the evil judge them, and thereby] will I judge [shaphat] them; and they shall know that I Am the LORD

Ezekiel 33
1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman [tsaphah – to, from Me, show what is coming]:
3 If when he sees the sword come upon the land [‘erets – the earth], he blows the trumpet, and warns the people;
4 Then whosoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword comes, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet [this voice of His archangel], and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that takes warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman [tsaphah] sees the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword comes, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s [tsaphah] hand.
7 So you, O son of man, I have set you a watchman [tsaphah] unto the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die; if you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
10 Therefore, O you son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus you speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away [maqaq – a key-word we have often here discussed] in them, how should we then live?
11 Say unto them, As I live, says the LORD God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
12 Therefore, you son of man, say unto the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sins.
13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trusts to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he has committed, he shall die for it.
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turns from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 None of his sins that he has committed shall be mentioned unto him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17 Yet the children of your people say, The way of the LORD is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. [Remember Leviticus 24:16, saying “And he that blasphemes {naqab – pierces; vilifies} the name {defining character: work and word: manner} of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death {muwth}, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him {with coals of fire upon his head}: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemes {naqab} the name {identity} of the LORD, shall be put to death {muwth}.” And Numbers 15:29, saying “You shall have one law for him that sins through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourns among them.”]
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 Yet you say, The way of the LORD is not equal. O you house of Israel, I will judge you everyone after his ways.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year [representing governmental perfection] of our captivity, in the tenth month [ordinal perfection], in the fifth day [God’s grace] of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
22 Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening [when ignorance was still the cover of the earth], afore [paniym – before the presence of the LORD was realized as the One speaking and working to save those who heard and heeded His warning] he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth [warning the wicked and the self-righteous], until he came to me in the morning [when this light, this understanding, was come]; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
23 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land?
26 You stand upon your sword, you work abomination, and you defile every one his neighbor’s wife: and shall you possess the land?
27 Say you thus unto them, Thus says the LORD God; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword [this warning they refuse], and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts [those without My good counsel, without My Spirit in them] to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence [the disease in what they prescribe].
28 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains [their corrupt leaders in church and state] of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
29 Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed [and still they refuse].
30 Also, you son of man, the children of your people still are talking against you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from the LORD.
31 And they come unto you as the people comes, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their covetousness [betsa’ – the “gain” that should be devoted to the LORD – see Micah 4:13].
32 And, lo, you are unto them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear your words, but they do them not.
33 And when this comes to pass, (lo, it will [has] come,) then shall they know that a prophet has been among them.

1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly [specifically], that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry [to join with the LORD in His ONE BODY], and commanding to abstain from meats [these deep things that strengthen], which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe [this word is His word] and know the truth.
4 For every creature [creation] of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving [recognizing God has given it for our good]:
5 For it is sanctified [declared good – pure and holy] by the word of God and prayer [conversing with Him to receive understanding].
6 If you put the brethren in remembrance of these things, you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto you have attained.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself [work them out of yourself] rather unto godliness [defined in the mystery, how we should conduct ourselves in the house of God, revealed in 1 Timothy 3:16, saying “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was {is} manifest in the flesh {of those who’ve received His word as the word of God}, justified in the Spirit {while unknown working and speaking}, seen of angels {those who become His messengers delivering His message as received}, preached unto the Gentiles {those who haven’t known the LORD among us}, believed on in the world, received up into glory {which is His presence realized in this way}.”].
8 For bodily exercise profits little: but godliness is profitable [the profiting spoken of in verse 15 below] unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10 For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach [from those who don’t believe He is speaking], because we trust in the living God [now alive in us: risen in our flesh which was dead without Him], who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe [the LORD is with us and in us].
11 These things command and teach.
12 Let no man despise your youth [when I was also ignorant of His presence – although I unknowingly felt it often]; but be you an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in you, which was given you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery [the elders, who as Paul, prepared and delivered the inspired written word to us].
15 Meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them; that your profiting may appear to all.
16 Take heed unto yourself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this you [as a faithful watchman warning all] shall both save yourself, and them that hear you.

2 Samuel 22
1 And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence [chamac].
4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 And he made darkness [ignorance of Him] pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning [His understanding], and discomfited them.
16 And the channels of the sea [His word flowing to His people] appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters [the confused language of this time when insanity rules];
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
27 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the froward you will show yourself unsavory.
28 And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you mayest bring them down.
29 For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten [give understanding] my darkness [of the things of which I am ignorant].
30 For by you I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall [of lies upon lies].
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to [magen – the shield covering] all them that trust in him.
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33 God is my strength and power [chayil]: and he makes my way perfect.
34 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet: and sets me upon my high places [bamah].
35 He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness [‘anavah – humility] has made me great.
37 You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 For you have girded me with strength [chayil] to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
41 You have also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45 Strangers shall submit [kachash – shall be found liars] themselves unto me [warned, realizing they’ve been deceived and are spreading deception that destroys others and will destroy them]: [they will believe] as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46 Strangers shall fade away [for all shall know the LORD], and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock [from whom this living water flows]; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation [His voice above all others].
48 It is God that avenges me, and that brings down the people under me.
49 And that brings me forth from my enemies: you also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man [chamac].
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto your name.
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed forevermore.

2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, He that rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
4 And he shall be as the light of the morning [the understanding that brings this new day], when the sun rises [the LORD’s ONE BODY, The Church], even a morning [a new day] without clouds [when understanding is on the earth, as it is in heaven]; as the tender grass springing [new life from earth, as on the third day of creation] out of the earth by clear shining [air cleared of the smoke that came from the bottomless pit, by the understanding sent forth from the LORD] after rain [His living water sent from heaven].
5 Although my house be not [yet] so with God; yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow [until now at this promised end, tribulation from which we are delivered].
6 But the sons of Belial [who worship the idols that have corrupted heaven and earth] shall be all of them as thorns [misleaders] thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
7 But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.

Psalms 118
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endures forever.
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endures forever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endures forever.
4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endures forever.
5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13 You have thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly [chayil].
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly [chayil].
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18 The LORD has chastened me sore: but he has not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise you: for you have heard me, and are become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the headstone of the corner.
23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in [opening] our eyes.
24 This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now [Hosanna], I beseech you, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech you, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
27 God is the LORD, which has shown us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will praise you: you are my God, I will exalt you.
29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures forever.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

26 – 27 November 2024

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

As we know, the Hebrew word most often rendered “face” is paniym, which is, in almost all cases, speaking of the LORD’s manifested presence in His word. This latter aspect is described above (in Ezekiel 6:1 & 2) as prophesying: speaking (or writing) words given by God as they are received.

The “mountains” are governments of church and state, risen from the earth, and “Israel” speaks of God’s people, to whom this expected end has come and is received as such.

Ezekiel 6
3 And say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD God; Thus says the LORD God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers [the words that flow from you], and to the valleys [to the lowly without worldly power]; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword [this word you refuse to hear and obey] upon you, and I will destroy your high places.
4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before [paniym – by My presence manifested in My word against] your idols.
5 And I will lay the dead carcasses [of the body of Christ] of the children of Israel before [paniym – by My presence manifested against] their idols; and I will scatter your bones [the dead bones of Ezekiel 37, brought together and to life by the same voice, prophesying, now shaking {ra’ash} heaven and earth] round about your altars.
6 In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I Am the LORD.
8 Yet will I leave a [very elect] remnant [that shall receive Me], that you may have some that shall [by receiving Me] escape the sword among the nations [who haven’t known Me], when you shall be scattered through the countries.
9 And they that escape of you shall remember me [understanding My manner is in My word] among the nations whither they shall be carried captives [beyond Babylon, in this time when insanity rules the world], because I Am broken with their [those who refuse to know Me, because of their] whorish heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols [men created, put in My place, and in vain call by My name]: and they shall loathe themselves for [paniym – when they realize My presence manifested against] the evils which they have committed in all their abominations [they created and put in My place].
10 And they shall know that I Am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
11 Thus says the LORD God; Smite with your hand [with this written word], and stamp with your foot [draw their attention to My ways], and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword [according to this word they refuse to hear and obey], by the famine [without this word from the mouth of the LORD], and by the pestilence [the dis-ease that comes from their refusal].
12 He that is far off [rachowq – those who remain under the rule of the evil decrees of the insanely wicked in power] shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remains and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
13 Then shall you know that I Am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree [the men the corrupt world says are upright], and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savor [their prayers] to all their idols.
14 So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I Am the LORD.

The name Diblah, which only appears once, speaks of the effect of the “evil report” (dibbah), like that of the spies sent from the wilderness to the Promised Land. It (now) describes men not seeing as God sees, and not receiving the promised end because they fear the enemies now possessing this earth. They don’t believe the LORD is truly with us and that we are, therefore, under His command, invincible.

Hebrews 3
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost says, Today if you will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence [that the LORD is with us, in us] steadfast unto the [expected] end;
15 While it is said, Today if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts [minds], as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard [His voice], did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses [entered the Promised Land, now the new earth].
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief [that the LORD is always with us, and under His command, we are invincible].

Hebrews 4
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed [that this preaching is the word from the mouth of the LORD] do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works [provided in the first creation, in His word] were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limits a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts [open your minds to what is here heard, and obey His voice].
8 For if Jesus [Joshua] had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remains, therefore, a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature [any of God’s creation] that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom [I Am] we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the [perpetual] Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace [into His presence, where His voice is heard], that we may [in the conversation at His mercy seat] obtain mercy, and find grace [this gift of these treasures] to help in time of need.

In verse 8 above, the reference to Joshua is the LORD referring us to Joshua 1 and Him there telling of this moment when we possess the earth (today, when His light covers it).

Joshua 1
1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spoke unto Joshua [Jesus] the son of Nun [the son in perpetuity], Moses’ minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over [‘abar – pass from death into life] this Jordan [the words of men that have carried all humanity in the descent into death], you, and all this people, unto the land [‘erets – the earth] which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel [those who receive this expected end].
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon [the end of purity in high place] even unto the great river, the river Euphrates [these fruitful words that flow to all humanity], all the land [‘erets] of the Hittites [from chathath – dismayed, the earth become desolate, confused, and fearful], and unto the great sea [all humanity] toward the going down of the sun [now when all understanding: light and life, have departed the earth], shall be your coast [gbuwl – this limit of the sea: the end of this age and the beginning of the new].
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before [paniym – My presence manifested in] you all the days of your life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with you: I will not fail you, nor forsake you.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shall you divide for an inheritance the land [‘erets – the earth], which I swore unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be you strong and very courageous, that you mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you mayest prosper whithersoever you go.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
9 Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be you dismayed [chathath]: for the LORD your God is with you whithersoever you go.
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days [today] you shall pass over [‘abar – from death into life] this Jordan, to go in to possess the land [‘erets – the earth], which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.
12 And to the Reubenites [the firstborn from the dead], and to the Gadites [the LORD’s risen army], and to half the tribe of Manasseh [who now remember the LORD], spoke Joshua, saying,
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God has given you rest, and has given you this land [‘erets – this earth].
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land [‘erets – the old earth] which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but you shall pass [‘abar – from death into life] before [paniym – manifesting My presence to] your brethren armed [with this word of the LORD from your mouths], all the mighty men of valor, and help them;
15 Until the LORD has given your brethren rest, as he has [by His word] given you, and they also have possessed the land [‘erets – the earth] which the LORD your God gives them: then you shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD’s servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising [giving you understanding first].
16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that you command us we will do, and whithersoever you send us, we will go [obeying, giving this word of the LORD as received].
17 According as we hearkened unto [shama’ – and obeyed] Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto [shama’ – and obey] you: only the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
18 Whosoever he be that does rebel against your commandment, and will not hearken unto [shama’ – and obey] your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death [remain dead]: only be strong and of a good courage.

Hebrews 12
22 But you are come unto mount Zion [the LORD’s government on the earth], and unto the city of the living God, the [New] heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [messengers He sends with His message],
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant [My promise that I would write My law into your minds and that all will know Me with you, in you], and to the blood of sprinkling [this necessary sacrifice shined upon all from east to west], that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [this place of full understanding]:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Hebrews 13
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
6 So that we may boldly say, The LORD is my helper [“in time of need”], and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines [created by presumptuous men]. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace [these gifts from the LORD]; not with meats [works of flesh], which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me, to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “divers” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding all these divers elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place [Psalms 8] testified [of the son], saying, “What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit [paqad – manifest Your presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth, in] him?
7 You made him a little lower than the angels [as we’ve seen, the words here are chacer’ elohiym, telling us the son is intentionally sent lacking the full knowledge of God; the Psalm then saying this is planned so the son {I Am: His presence in this moment manifested in the flesh He’s chosen} can be crowned by the Father with His understanding: revelation only known to the Father]; you crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him over the works of your hands:
8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we [in our blindness] see not yet [that] all things [are] put under him [not hearing and obeying this word as the Father’s voice, as it is].
9 But we [again] see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death [sent without understanding], [now, when we see Him again] crowned with glory and honor [raised to life by the light of the Father in him]; that he by the grace of God should taste death [and be raise from it] for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain [archegos – only used three other times; in Acts 3:15, speaking of the son as the “Prince” of life, who the religious and civil power denied, conspired against, and killed; Acts 5:31 as the risen “Prince” who is seated at the Father’s right hand {from where Habakkuk 3:4 says, in this writing, comes His hidden power as rays of light}; and Hebrews 12:2 saying He is “the Author and Finisher of our Faith”] of their salvation perfect [teleioo – made complete, filled full] through sufferings [the same affliction, tribulation, doubting the LORD is present, that, through proof of him {I Am}, makes us ready, willing, to be quickened from corruption into life].
11 For both he that sanctifies [purges us from corruption, making us holy] and they who are sanctified [purged and made holy] are all of one [Body of Christ]: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare your name [identity] unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing [repeating the words You’ve given me] praise unto you.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me [when our mouths are opened with His words, are for signs and wonders to God’s people at large].
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he [the Father] also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death [coming lacking understanding] he might [self-manifesting His light, life, in the flesh, to] destroy him that had the power of [to deceive men into ignorance of God and to instead follow them into] death, that is, the devil [the misleaders who put themselves in His place];
15 And deliver them [the misled] who through fear of death [not understanding it is a state of mind], were all their lifetime subject to bondage [but you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free from death].
16 For truly he took not on him the nature of angels [a mere messenger given a message]; but he took on him the seed of Abraham [to whom the LORD promised a son, an heir who would become as many as the sand of the shore and the stars of heaven].
17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren [born into dead flesh here in hell], that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted [to doubt the Father’s presence with him here in hell, to from it raise us], he is able to succor [rescue] them that are tempted [to doubt Him].

Psalms 8
A Psalm of David
1 O LORD [Jehovah], our LORD [‘adown – our king], how excellent is your name [identity] in all the earth! who have set [nathan – given] your glory [Your manifested presence] above the heavens [the places where understanding should be found].
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings [declaring Your word as You commanded, saying “Hosanna {save now}, Blessed is he who comes in the name {identity} of the LORD] have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still [shabath – sabbath: interrupting their work, putting them to silence so Your correction is heard above all other voices of] the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens [this understanding You’ve given to us], the work of your fingers, the moon [just civil government; ruling as You rule, with truth and equal justice] and the stars [Your people in this new heaven, filled with Your light here on earth, wherein dwells righteousness], which you have ordained [kuwn – prepared, raised, and established];
4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit [paqad] him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than [chacer – lacking the understanding] the angels [‘elohiym – of God], and have crowned him with [Your] glory and [Your] honor [His understanding given to and through me].
6 You made him to have dominion [mashal – rule] over the works of your hands [referring to this light given from there]; you have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen [Your flock], yea, and the beasts of the field [the dead in the earth, those without Your Spirit];
8 The fowl of the air [those who, by Your strength, rise into the place where understanding should be found], and the fish of the sea [the life unseen and found below the surface of the waters on the earth: provided for all humanity], and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas [man on his unknowing journey through generations].
9 O LORD our LORD, how excellent is your name [identity] in all the earth!

The word dibbah is only used 9 times and only twice in the prophets (Jeremiah 20:10 and Ezekiel 36:3). In both cases it’s when the LORD is speaking to the mountains (governments) and the men in them governing God’s people.

Jeremiah 20
1 Now Pashur [from the once used word pashach, meaning those who’ve torn the LORD’s body in pieces] the son of Immer [who refuse to stop speaking their false teaching] the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things [against them].
2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks [disfiguring this message] that were in the high gate of Benjamin [keeping God’s people from entering His presence by seeing His work in His word], which was by the house of the LORD.
3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD has not called your name Pashur, but Magormissabib [encircled by fear on every side].
4 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends: and they shall fall by the sword [the words] of their enemies, and your eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah [all the leaders of God’s people] into the hand of the king of Babylon [the confusion that now rules the world, in all the institutions of church and state], and he shall carry them captive into Babylon [into confusion now turned delusion, none knowing the difference between this reality and the creations of their own lame minds], and shall slay them with the sword [their words, their false teaching].
5 Moreover I will deliver all the strength [understanding] of this city, and all the labors thereof, and all the precious things thereof [these treasures none have guarded against corruption], and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon [into confusion].
6 And you, Pashur, and all that dwell in your [scattered] house shall go into captivity: and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and shall be buried there, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied lies [in the LORD’s name].
7 [Then the repentant false prophets, the dead leading His dead body, say] O LORD, you have deceived me, and I was deceived; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am in derision daily, everyone mocks me.
8 For since I spoke, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing [not speaking this word now in their minds], and I could not stay.
10 For I heard the defaming [dibbah] of many, fear on every side [as above]. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars [who know they are easily swayed into wandering away into their own corrupt ideas] watched for my halting [going lame and wandering away from the right way], saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him [to go against this word of the LORD], and we shall take our revenge on him.
11 But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed [disappointed when they don’t get what they hoped for: the priesthood going against this word of the LORD]; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
12 But, O LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war], that tries the righteous, and sees the reins [the inner thoughts] and the heart [minds], let me see your vengeance on them: for unto you have I opened my cause [to rise with You into Your righteousness].
13 Sing unto the LORD [these words He has written into our minds], praise you the LORD: for he has delivered the soul of the poor [those without worldly power, without the corrupt wisdom of this corrupt world] from the hand of evildoers.
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born [into confusion]: let not the day wherein my mother [my teachers who taught me corruption] bare me be blessed.
15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto you [into the corruption passed down through generations]; making him very glad.
16 And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning [when this understanding has now come], and the shouting at noontide;
17 Because he slew me not from the womb [born into corruption]; or that my mother might have been my grave [teaching that holds the corrupt here in the belly of the earth], and her womb to be always great with me.
18 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow that my days should be consumed with shame?

The above is in the context of Lamentation 3, where, in verse 11, Jeremiah uses pashach, speaking of the corrupt priesthood, rendered “pulled me in pieces.” The chapter begins describing (now) when the priesthood realizes this is part of the LORD’s plan to raise them from corruption into life with Him as He rises in them.

Lamentations 3
3 I Am the man [Pashur] that has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2 He has led me, and brought me into darkness [ignorance, by degeneration into corruption], but not into light [void of understanding].
3 Surely against me is he turned; he turns his hand against me all the day [by His light now come].
4 My flesh and my skin has he made old; he has broken my bones.
5 He has built against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
6 He has set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
7 He has hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he has made my chain heavy.
8 Also when I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.
9 He has enclosed my ways with hewn stone [with their own creations], he has made my paths crooked.
10 He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
11 He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces [pashach]: he has made me desolate.
12 He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13 He has caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins [innermost thoughts].
14 I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
15 He has filled me with bitterness, he has made me drunken with wormwood.
16 He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he has covered me with ashes.
17 And you have removed my soul far off from peace: I forgot prosperity.
18 And I said, My strength [understanding] and my hope is perished from the LORD:
19 Remembering my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20 My soul has them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope [that You will save].
22 It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is your faithfulness.
24 The LORD is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him [expecting His salvation], to the soul that [diligently] seeks him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly [not speaking his own words] wait for the salvation of the LORD.
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke [the corrupt he was taught] in his youth.
28 He sits alone and keeps silence, because he has borne it upon him.
29 He puts his mouth in the dust [realizing his words are the ruin of the old and corrupt world]; if so be there may be hope.
30 He gives his cheek to him that smites him: he is filled full with reproach.
31 For the LORD will not cast off forever:
32 But though he causes grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
33 For he does not afflict willingly [leb – heart, the mind] nor grieve the children of men [because, 2 Peter 3:9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is {always here among us} longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.].
34 [He isn’t here working] To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth.
35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of [paniym – His presence manifested as] the Most High,
36 [He isn’t here] To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approve not.
37 Who is he that says, and it comes to pass [it is understood by Him speaking], when the LORD commands it not?
38 Out of the mouth of the Most High proceeds not evil and good?
39 Wherefore does a living man complain [about the LORD’s good correction], a man for the punishment [guilt] of his sins?
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
41 Let us lift up our heart [our minds] with our hands [our works] unto God in the heavens [from where He’s sent this understanding].
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: you have not pardoned [because we remain in corruption, but He long-suffers in the necessary sacrifice to correct us].
43 You have covered with anger, and persecuted us: you have slain, you have not pitied.
44 You have covered yourself with a cloud [hidden when understanding left the earth], that our prayer should not pass through.
45 You have made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
47 Fear and a snare is come upon us [as in Jeremiah 20:3, and Magormissabib], desolation and destruction.
48 My eye run down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 My eye trickle down, and cease not, without any intermission.
50 Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
51 My eye affect my heart [mind] because of all the daughters of my city.
52 My enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon [of ignorance], and cast a stone upon me.
54 Waters flowed over my head; then I said, I am cut off.
55 I called upon your name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
56 You have heard my voice: hide not your ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57 You drew near in the day that I called upon you: you said, Fear not.
58 O LORD, you have pleaded the causes of my soul; you have redeemed my life.
59 O LORD, you have seen my wrong: judge you my cause.
60 You have seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
61 You have heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;
62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their music.
64 Render unto them a recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
65 Give them sorrow of heart, your curse unto them.
66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.

Ezekiel 36
1 Also, you son of man, prophesy [speak My words] unto the mountains [the governments] of Israel [My people who’ve reached this expected end], and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
2 Thus says the LORD God; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
3 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus says the LORD God; Because they have made you [My governments of church and state, as I intended them] desolate [without light], and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen [who haven’t known Me], and you are taken up in the lips of talkers [speaking their language of deceit and misleading], and are an infamy [dibbah] of the people:
4 Therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD God; Thus says the LORD God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;
5 Therefore thus says the LORD God; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea [the enemies among us, our brethren who seek to destroy us and our better culture that calls good good and evil evil], which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land [‘adamah – the first generation of My new creation] of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because you have borne the shame of the heathen:
7 Therefore thus says the LORD God; I have lifted up my hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.
8 But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come [readied to be brought to life from the dead].
9 For, behold, I Am for you, and I will turn unto you, and you shall be tilled and sown [in My new heaven and earth]:
10 And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built [upon the ruin of the old]:
11 And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and you shall know that I Am the LORD.
12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no more henceforth bereave them of [good] men.
13 Thus says the LORD God; Because they say unto you, You land devours up men, and have bereaved your nations:
14 Therefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your nations any more, says the LORD God.
15 Neither will I cause men to hear in you the shame of the heathen any more, neither shall you bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shall you cause your nations to fall any more, says the LORD God.
16 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land [‘adamah – the last generation of the old and corrupt heaven and earth], they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me [paniym – in My presence] as the uncleanness of a removed [unclean] woman [separated from Me].
18 Wherefore I [unknown to them] poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land [‘erets – the earth], and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:
19 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
20 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they [calling their abominations by My name] profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land [‘erets – the earth in its “old estate”]
21 But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus says the LORD God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the heathen, whither you went.
23 And I will sanctify [make and declare Holy again] my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I Am the LORD, says the LORD God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land [‘adamah – this first generation of My new creation].
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you [to cleanse you of corruption], and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And you shall dwell in the land [‘erets – the new earth I Am creating, as in its “old estate”] that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn [the fruit from that which I Am planting], and will increase it, and lay no famine [for hearing this word of God] upon you.
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you shall receive no more reproach of famine [of not hearing My word] among the heathen [those who haven’t known me, for all shall know me, from the least to greatest].
31 Then shall you remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32 Not for your sakes do I this, says the LORD God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
33 Thus says the LORD God; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be built [upon the ruin of the old].
34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by [‘abar – the sight of all who’ve passed from death into life with Me].
35 And they shall say, This land [‘erets – this earth] that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden [the old estate]; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
36 Then the heathen [who haven’t known me] that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.
37 Thus says the LORD God; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with [good] men like a flock.
38 As the holy flock, as the flock of [New Heavenly] Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I Am the LORD.

Psalms 91
1 He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come nigh you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the Most High, your habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come nigh your dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
12 They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.
14 Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble [tsarah – this time of tribulation]; I will deliver him, and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus: Jehovah Salvation manifested in our flesh].

Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

20 – 24 November 2024


Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

The LORD begins today in Ezekiel 7:23, a chapter speaking precisely of this end time when the crowning of the LORD’s Anointed is described (twice) as the “morning.” The word appears in verses 7 & 10, rendered from the three-times used Hebrew word tsphiyrah, meaning an encircling (full course beginning to end) of the head (mind) and a change in course (a turn in affairs). 

Ezekiel 7
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Also, you son of man, thus says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih – the King of king and LORD of lords] unto the land [‘adamah – this generation I Am creating] of Israel; An end [qets], the end [qets] is come upon the four corners of the land [‘erets – the earth where My people are scattered].
3 Now is the end [qets] come upon you, and I will send my anger upon you, and will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense upon you all your abominations [tow’edah].
4 And my eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations [tow’ebah] shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I Am the LORD.
5 Thus says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih]; An evil [ra’], an only evil [ra’], behold, is come.
6 An end [qets] is come, the end [qets] is come: it watches [quwts – it awakens, in the morning] for you; behold, it is come.
7 The morning [tsphiyrah – the diadem of Isaiah 28:5, the crown upon the head of the LORD of the army of heaven] is come unto you, O you that dwell in the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth]: the time is come, the day of trouble is near [qarowb], and not the sounding again [hed – only used here, meaning the evil decrees] of the mountains [from the corrupt governments of church and state].
8 Now will I shortly [qarowb] pour out my fury upon you, and accomplish [kalah – as used twice in Daniel 12:7; to finish] my anger upon you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations [tow’ebah].
9 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense you according to your ways and your abominations [tow’ebah] that are in the midst of you; and you shall know that I Am the LORD that smites.
10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning [tsphiyrah – the crowning] is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time is come, the day draws near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14 They [the faithful of the LORD] have blown the trumpet [giving ample warning], even to make all ready; but none goes to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 The sword [this word they refuse] is without [the camp], and the pestilence [the disease that comes upon the wicked at My presence manifested] and the famine [God’s people refusing His word] within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 But they that escape [palat] of them shall escape [paliyt], and shall be on the mountains [going into God’s new government] like doves of the valleys [as signs to the lowly of the end reached], all of them mourning [the end of the old and corrupt heaven and earth], every one for his iniquity.
17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold [all the things the old and corrupt world thought were of value] shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it [the things in which they trust] is the stumbling-block [mikshowl – the likeness of hell, following things desired] of their iniquity.
20 As for the beauty of his ornament [the words with which the LORD has clothed, adorned, us], he set it in majesty [ga’own – He exalted it above all worldly value]: but they made the images of their abominations [tow’ebah] and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it [My majesty] far from them.
21 And I will give it [images you’ve created] into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
22 My face [paniym – My presence] will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret [tsaphan] place [so none see any value in the treasure]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23 Make a chain [rattowq – only used elsewhere in 1 Kings 6:21, where it a “chain” overlayed {tsaphah} with gold, desired worldly value, that hides the true treasure within {the ‘abar – the way to pass over from death into life} in the oracle {the holy of holies, in the LORD’s presence manifested in the conversation}]: for the land is full of bloody crimes [mishpat – a judgment against truth tellers], and the city is full of violence [against this word of God].
24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses [as I have]: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled [as they are: Isaiah 28:8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.].
25 Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26 Mischief [hovah, from havah] shall come upon mischief [hovah], and rumor [shmuw’ah – this voice of Jehovah heard] shall be upon rumor [shmuw’ah – His voice teaching, precept upon precept, line upon line] then shall they seek a vision of the [false] prophet[s]; but the law shall perish from the priest[s], and counsel from the ancients [all the robbers who’ve put themselves in My place]. [The word hovah, referring to the effects of the strong delusion the LORD has sent upon the insane, only appears one other time, in Isaiah 47:11, saying “Therefore shall evil come upon you; you shall not know from whence it rises: and mischief {hovah} shall fall upon you; you shall not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know {because you’ve been chained in your own ignorance}.”]
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land [‘erets – the earth] shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts [mishpat – according to their corrupt judgment, by the precedent of their evil shall the evil judge them, and thereby] will I judge [shaphat] them; and they shall know that I Am the LORD 

Isaiah 28
5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem [tsphiyrah] of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
6 And for a spirit of judgment [mishpat] to him that sits in judgment [misphat], and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [puwq – only used here and in Jeremiah 10:4, speaking men refusing to be moved from their erroneous views] in judgment [pliyliyah – only used here, speaking of the men failing this grace of God, as in Hebrews 12:15 saying “Looking {examining} diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;” like in Jeremiah 10:4].
8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine [shmuw’ah – understand that this is the voice of Jehovah heard]? them that are weaned from the milk, and [have] drawn from the breasts [of the Ancient of Days].
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue [truth that is as a foreign language to those who only know men’s creations] will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear [it as the voice of the LORD, and obey His commands].
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies [kazab – only used by Isaiah here and in verse 17] our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste [flee away in shame].
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies [kazab], and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim [2 Samuel 5:20 & 21: as waters, this word of God, breaking forth upon His and David’s enemies], he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon [Joshua 10:10 & 11: God’s word, reserved in heaven for this moment, coming as hailstones upon the current crop of corrupt leaders], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22 Now, therefore, be you not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
23 Give you ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

Jeremiah 10
1 Hear you the word which the LORD speaks unto you, O house of Israel [the LORD’s family who receive the expected end]:
2 Thus says the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen [those who refuse to know Me and My ways], and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven [this understand sent from the cloud there]; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest [a man thought to be upright], the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not [puwq – that they remain steadfast in their erroneous views: doctrines].
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not [this true word of God]: they must needs be borne [carried], because they cannot go [tsa’ad – they refuse to join the ranks of the LORD]. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto you, O LORD; you are great, and your name [identity] is great in might.
7 Who would not fear you, O King of nations [over those who haven’t known your identity, even the dismayed]? for to you does it appertain [ya’ah – the only time this word is used, speaking of Yahh: the LORD]: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto you.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock [the trees: the falsely so-called upright men as idols they worship] is a doctrine of vanities.
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish [worthless doctrines said to be valuable by those who’ve fled from the LORD and their vows to Him], and gold from Uphaz [only used here and in Daniel 10:5; words that are said to be the preparation, the girding, of God’s people], the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder [tsaraph – said to be the refiners of God’s people]: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning [chakam – wise] men [falsely so-called].
10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations [those who refuse to know Him] shall not be able to abide his indignation [za’am – which ends with the destruction of the wicked in power].
11 Thus shall you say unto them [these men who haven’t known the LORD and take His name in vain], The [falsely so-called] gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12 He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has [in this firmament, this exposition] stretched out the heavens by his discretion [tabuwn – in all its other occurrences it’s rendered understanding, except in Job 32:11 where it’s “reasons,” and Psalms 136:5 where it’s “wisdom”].
13 When he [here and now] utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters [His word] in the heavens, and he causes the vapors [the separated elements of understanding] to ascend from the ends of the earth [ending the old and corrupt, beginning the new]; he makes lightning with rain [understanding of His word sent from the cloud where the elements were held when they left the earth], and bringeth forth the wind [His Almighty Spirit moving upon the darkened deep] out of his treasure [‘owtsar – the LORD’s armory: referring to the word’s use in Jeremiah 50:25].
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder [tsarah] is confounded [yabesh – speaking of them withering away as the LORD’s Almighty Spirit move {blows} upon them; as in Isaiah 40:7 & 8] by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath [life] in them.
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – now when the LORD is openly manifesting His presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall perish.
16 The portion of Jacob [God’s people who’ve unaware wrestled with Him and His word] is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel [those who receive Him at His appearing and kingdom come] is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war] is his name [identity].
17 Gather up your wares [kin’ah – only used here; these gifts you will take into the new] out of the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth], O inhabitant of the fortress [matsowr – who were under enemy siege].
18 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land [‘ertes – of the old and corrupt earth] at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous [this is the wound spoken of in Nahum 3:19; inflicted by those in power, leading in the church and state]; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered [from them; as they now are].
22 Behold, the noise [qowl – the voice] of the bruit [shmuw’ah – this report, the voice that must be heard and obey as Jehovah’s, who men haven’t believed even though a man, I Am, is declaring it] is come, and a great commotion [ra’ash – the “shaking” that bring the dead bones together, as in Ezekiel 37:7; and the result of the LORD’s voice, as in Ezekiel 38:19] out of the north country [upon those who remain in darkness, in ignorance], to make the cities of Judah [the old and corrupt leaders] desolate, and a den of dragons [tanniyn – men as serpents and whales, who with their wide open mouths devoured God’s people, and swallowed them into the belly of death and hell].
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man [into life] is not in himself: it is not in man that walk [his own ways] to direct his steps.
24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on your name [Your identity, to whom it appertains]: for they [the wicked sitting in Your place] have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him [into death], and consumed him [here in hell], and have made his habitation desolate.

Ezekiel 37
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise [qowl – the voice of the yet unknown LORD heard], and behold a shaking [ra’ash], and the [scattered] bones [of the dead body of Christ] came together, bone to his bone [because we are flesh of His flesh, bone of His bone].

Ezekiel 38
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog [as we know, this name refers to Agag, who Saul didn’t destroy as the LORD commanded: and who represents the enemy leaders who’ve warred against God and His people throughout history] Thus says the LORD God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shall you not know it?
15 And you shall come from your place out of the north parts [the earth covered in darkness, now when there is no knowledge of God], you, and many people with you, all of them riding upon horses [into this battle against God’s people], a great company, and a mighty army:
16 And you shall come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land [when understanding has left the earth]; it shall be in the latter days [‘achariyth – these last days], and I will bring you against my land [‘erets – earth], that the heathen [who haven’t know me] may know me, when I shall be sanctified [qadash – declared to be the Holy One] in you, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus says the LORD God; Are you he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring you against them?
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the LORD God, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For [here and now] in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking [ra’ash] in the land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of [paniym – in My presence on] the earth, shall shake [ra’ash] at my presence [paniym], and the mountains [all the corrupt governments of church and state] shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground [‘erets – the earth].
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains [governments], says the LORD God: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence [deber {from dabar}, meaning the way they caused disease, by destroying all order, calling evil good and good evil] and with blood [this necessary sacrifice]; and I will rain [this word and understanding from heaven] upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones [to destroy the current crop of corrupt leaders], fire, and brimstone [from My mouth].
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations [who haven’t known Me], and they shall know that I Am the LORD.

Jeremiah 50
25 The LORD has opened his armory [‘owtsar], and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the LORD God of hosts in the land [‘erets – the earth] of the Chaldeans [those who’ve used their deceptions as spells to manipulate and control God’s people into doing evil and refusing good].
26 Come against her from the utmost border [qets – this end reached], open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation [pquddah – now when the LORD has openly manifested His presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth].
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon [the old earth now ruled by confusion now turned insanity], to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple. [We’re told in Jeremiah 51:12 this vengeance comes when we “Set up the standard {nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted, so this voice is heard above all others} upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD has both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.]
29 Call together the archers against Babylon: all you that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do unto her: for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD.
31 Behold, I am against you, O you most proud [zadown – this refers to Deuteronomy 18:22 where it’s “presumptuously” speaking of the false prophesies of false prophets], says the LORD God of hosts: for your day is come, the time that I will visit you.
32 And the most proud [zadown] shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
33 Thus says the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land [‘erets – the earth], and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, says the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote [ya’al – be found fools]: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots [their strength, that carries them into the battle], and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as [weak as] women: a sword is upon her treasures [the things they think are valuable, their ability to deceive]; and they shall be robbed [of their power].
38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land [‘erets – earth] of graven images [the worthless creations of men’s darkened minds], and they are mad [insane – unable to distinguish between reality and the creation of their minds] upon their idols.
39 Therefore the wild beasts [without My Spirit] of the desert [who are thereby desolate] with the wild beasts [without My Spirit] of the islands [without My word that give life] shall dwell there, and the owls [those who hunt souls in the darkness] shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; neither shall it be dwelt in from [the last] generation [in]to [the first] generation [of My new creation].
40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring cities thereof, says the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
41 Behold, a people shall come from the north [out of darkness], and a great nation [who hasn’t know Me, shall know Me], and many kings shall be raised up [‘uwr – awaken] from the coasts [yrekah – inside {the belly}] of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar [the second face of the unfolding presence of the LORD, a man roaring His word as a lion] like the sea [God’s people at large, into whom this word has flowed], and they shall ride upon horses [with the LORD’s strength], every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against you, O daughter of Babylon [of confusion and insanity].
43 The king of Babylon has heard the report of them [from the mouths of those who’ve heard and obeyed this voice of Jehovah], and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail [now knowing they have awakened the LORD’s people].
44 Behold, he [the LORD with and in His people] shall come up like a lion [roaring His word] from [against] the swelling of Jordan [the proud whose word have carried all in the descent into death and hell] unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them [the wicked in power] suddenly run away from her [the LORD’s people unto whom this expected end has come]: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint [paqad] over her [as the Chief Overseer]? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd [ra’ah – the seer seeing as I see] that will stand before me [paniym – manifesting, declaring, My presence with him, in him]?
45 Therefore hear [shama’ – and obey] you the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock [I Am] shall draw them out [into this light]: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46 At the noise [qowl – this voice of the LORD] of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved [ra’ash – shaken, awakening the dead to life], and the cry is heard [shama’ – is obeyed] among the nations [who now know the LORD].

Nahum 3
13 Behold, your people in the midst of you [Babylon – ruled by confusion] are [as weak as] women: the gates of your land shall be set wide open unto your enemies: the fire shall devour your bars.
14 Draw you waters for the siege, fortify your strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brickkiln.
15 There shall the fire devour you; the sword shall cut you off, it shall eat you up like the cankerworm: make yourself many as the cankerworm, make yourself many as the locusts.
16 You have multiplied your merchants above the stars of heaven [against God’s now enlightened people]: the cankerworm spoils, and flee away [at the sound of this roaring].
17 Your crowned are as the locusts [that have devoured all life], and your captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun rises [with this light] they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
18 Your shepherds slumber [sleep in death], O king of Assyria [the communists in power]: your nobles shall dwell in the dust [the ruin of the old earth they destroyed: made without form and void: made confused and empty]: your people are scattered upon the mountains [by the corrupt governments now infested by devils], and no man gathers them.
19 There is no healing of your bruise; your wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of you shall clap the hands over you: for upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually?

The word rendered “dismayed,” used twice in Jeremiah 10:2 and once in 50:36, speaking of those refusing this word, who are thereby confounded, is chathath, meaning “to prostrate; hence, to break down, either (literally) by violence, or (figuratively) by confusion and fear.”

Job 32
7 I said, Days should speak, and a multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 But there is a spirit [of the LORD] in man: and the inspiration [nshamah – breath, the Spirit exhaled through His mouth] of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment [mishpat].
10 Therefore I said, Hearken to [shama’ – and obey the voice of the LORD spoken from] me; I also will show my opinion [dea’ – the knowledge of God alive in me].
11 Behold, I waited for your words [millah]; I gave ear to your reasons [tabown – to hear your understanding], while you searched out what to say.
12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced [yakach – judges correctly] Job [God’s people hated by this generation], or that answered his words [justifying themselves]:
13 Lest [if you did rightly judge] you should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusts him down [nadaph – has shaken him, to awaken him], not man.
14 Now he [the LORD] has not directed [rightly arranged] his words [millah] against me [but against you who are doing Satan’s work]: neither will I answer [shuwb – return to] him [the LORD] with your [ignorant] speeches.
15 They were amazed [chathath – dismayed], they answered no more: they left off speaking [millah].
16 When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will show my opinion [dea’ – the understanding of the LORD in me].
18 For I Am full of the matter [millah – these words of the LORD alive in me, to Whom it appertains], the spirit [of the LORD] within me constrains me [from speaking worthless words].
19 Behold, my belly is as wine [in me He has put His understanding that changes the minds of those who receive them as His voice] which has no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer [with the word He has put within me].
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

Job 36
1 Elihu [He is God {speaking unknown}] also proceeded, and said,
2 Suffer me a little, and I will show you that I have yet to speak [millah] on God’s behalf [this last word isn’t in the original text, which actually says “I will show yet more God words”].
3 I will fetch [nasa’ – exalt] my knowledge [dea’] from afar [rachowq – in his time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of wicker men in power, when full understanding has come], and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker [Who has made me in His image and likeness].
4 For truly my words [millah] shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with you [in me].
5 Behold, God is mighty, and despises not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
6 He preserves not the life of the wicked: but gives right to the poor.
7 He withdraws not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he does establish them forever, and they are exalted.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
9 Then he shows them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
10 He opens also their ear to discipline, and commands that they return from iniquity.
11 If they [hear these words as His, and] obey [shama’] and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
12 But if they [refuse to hear these words as His, and] obey [shama’] not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he binds them [by their own inquity].
14 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
15 He delivers the poor in his affliction, and opens their ears [to hear His word] in oppression.
16 Even so would he have removed you out of the strait [of oppression] into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that [these treasures] which should be set on your table should be full of fatness [prosperity].
17 But you have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: [their cruel] judgment and [reversed] justice take hold on you.
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take you away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver you.
19 Will he esteem your riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
20 Desire not the night [this time when ignorance of God covers the earth], when people are cut off [from the LORD’s presence] in their place.
21 Take heed, regard [panah – return] not [to] iniquity: for this [remaining in iniquity] have you chosen rather than affliction.
22 Behold, God exalts by his power [in His revealed word that effectually works in our minds]: who teaches like him?
23 Who has enjoined him [paqad – seeing as He sees, joined Him as Chief Overseer, Chief Shepherd, of the earth, which is] his way? or who can say [blaspheming Him], You have wrought iniquity?
24 Remember that you [when His glory is revealed in you] magnify his work, which men behold.
25 Every man may see it [His presence with us, in us]; man may behold it afar off [rachowq – this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power, now when this full understanding has come].
26 Behold [see as He sees], God is great, and we [not realizing His presence in His word] know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27 For he makes small the drops of water [His word sent from the least among men – I Am]: they pour down rain [His word from the cloud of heaven] according to the vapor thereof [by assembling the same elements of understand that left the earth and were held in the cloud, with Him at His throne]:
28 Which the clouds do drop and distill upon man abundantly.
29 Also, can any understand the spreading of the clouds [this exposition in the firmament, which God calls heaven], or the noise of his tabernacle?
30 Behold, he spreads his light [His understanding] upon it, and covers the bottom [sheresh – uncovers this deep understanding] of the sea [which He flows into His people].
31 For by them judges he the people; he gives meat [that gives His strength] in abundance.
32 With clouds he covers the light; and commands it not to shine by the cloud that comes betwixt [paga’ – where it is held in abeyance until this time of war].
33 The noise thereof shows concerning it, the cattle [His flock] also concerning the vapor.

The word “noise,” in verse 29 above, rendered from the four times used word tshu’ah, is used in Isaiah 22:2 & Zachariah 4:7 to definitively tell us that the LORD’s tabernacle (made without the hands of man) is His people in whom He dwells.

The word rendered “noise” in verse 33 is the three times used word rea’, which refers us to its use in Exodus 32:17 and Micah 4:9.

Take heed:
Acts 13
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man [here and now] declares it unto you.

Acts 17
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God [flesh of His flesh, bone of His bone], we ought not to think that the God head is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men everywhere to repent:
31 Because he has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man [I Am] whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.

Friends, there’s a great battle still ahead to recover God’s people from the institutions of church and state that hold them in darkness. There is no rest until the ONE BODY of Christ has risen with an understanding of this moment and the LORD’s presence.

Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision [this word by which the lowly see as the LORD sees]. What ails you now, that you are wholly gone up to the housetops [to escape the necessary conflict at hand]?
2 You that are full of stirs [tshu’ah], a tumultuous city, joyous city: your slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle [but as cowards running from the battle].
3 All your rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers [the false accusations of the enemies]: all that are found in you are bound together [by their fear of the wicked in power], which have fled from far [rachowq – from the evil decrees that rule this time].
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the LORD God [the King of kings and LORD of lords] of hosts [a man of war] in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls [which hold back this word and keep My people from seeing My presence in My work], and of crying to the mountains [the LORD’s call to open your mouths against the wicked in power in every institution of government in church and state].
6 And Elam bare the quiver [all who’ve lived throughout all eternity] with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir [the wall, the lies and falsehood, interpretations’ effect that keeps wicked men in power and the world in ignorance] uncovered the shield [magen – the LORD with us as the buckler of the earth].
7 And it shall come to pass, that your choicest valleys [the low places in which the LORD reveals Himself] shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate [out of hell into heaven, from darkness and death into light and life].
8 And he discovered [galah – revealed in this apocalypse] the covering [macak – removing the veil and showing My presence to My elect remnant] of Judah, and you did look in that day to the armor [nasheq – revealing these weapons of My warfare] of the house of the forest [to the upright who’ve become My family by receiving me].
9 You have seen also the breaches of the city of David [My people scattered from their king], that they are many: and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool [this word sent to the lowly].
10 And you have numbered the [understood the many] houses of [old and corrupt] Jerusalem, and the houses have you broken down to fortify the wall [keeping back this word and not giving it as commanded].
11 You made also a ditch between the two walls [lie and falsehood, agreement with death and hell, under which your leaders think they hide] for the water of the old pool [keeping My written word held in your channels of ignorance]: but you have not looked unto the maker thereof [who inspired it], neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago [rachowq – to be revealed in this time when the earth is ruled by evil decree].
12 And in that day did the LORD God of hosts [the King of kings and LORD of lords, who is a man of war] call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth [when these things are revealed]:
13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die [going willingly, without opposition, into your own destruction, which is obviously coming to the sluggards who sleep on, refusing to believe this is that day, the light, of the LORD].
14 And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till you die, says the LORD God of hosts.
15 Thus says the LORD God of hosts, Go, get you unto this treasurer [cakan – those to whom this word was entrusted], even unto Shebna [who’ve prospered by their control], which is over the house, and say,
16 What have you here? and whom have you here, that you have hewed you out a sepulcher here [where you store the dead], as he that hewn him out a sepulcher on high, and that graven a habitation for himself in a rock [from where My word should flow, but instead it is held back and replaced with men’s creations]?
17 Behold, the LORD will carry you away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover you [‘atah – with your own confusion; see Psalms 109:29, saying “Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover {‘atah} themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.”].
18 He will surely violently turn and toss you like a ball into a large country [rachab ‘erets – a confused earth]: there shall you die, and there the chariots of your glory shall be the shame of your lord’s house [the men you follow as gods you’ve exalted above Me].
19 And I will drive you from your station, and from your state shall he pull you down.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim [God raised, to be established {from quwm}] the son of Hilkiah [whose inheritance is Jehovah]:
21 And I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your girdle [this cover and preparation, contrasted against the other time ‘atah appears in Psalms 109, in verse 19, speaking of the wicked, anointed {of Satan} devils, who are cut off from the earth, saying, “19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covers {‘atah} him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. 20 Let this be the reward of my adversaries {satan} from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.”], and I will commit your government [memshalah – governments of church and state] into his [my] hand: and he [the LORD in me] shall be a Father to the inhabitants of [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah [the elect remnant that receive me in the name of the LORD]. [Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, You shall not see me from here forward, until you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the LORD.]
22 And the key [that opens the door] of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.
24 And they shall hang [the understanding of all the law and the prophets] upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue [all those born by coming into His light], all [the holy] vessels of small quantity, from the [holy] vessels of cups, even to all the [holy] vessels of flagons.
25 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, shall the nail [upon which hangs the corrupt understanding of all the law and prophets] that is fastened in the sure [in which all trust] place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD has spoken it.

The matter, the controversy as we know it, is a lack of subordination to the power God has raised. It (rebellion, in which all worldly powers are now engaged, as dogs barking in the night, this time when ignorance covers the earth, against God’s good government in church and state) is the topic of Psalms 109 (& 110), and what the LORD speaks of in Matthew 23.

Matthew 23
31 Wherefore you be witnesses unto [against] yourselves, that you are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill you up then the measure of your fathers.
33 You serpents [whose poison, which rots the minds of men, is in your mouths], you generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell [the result of your own cursing come upon you]?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues [all your gathering places, where truth and justice should be administered], and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel [speaking of all in who the spirit of Cain is manifested, who kill their brothers, “Because his {Cain’s} own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.”] unto the blood of Zacharias [all these righteous men, who the LORD now brings to remembrance] son of Barachias [who are the blessed of Jehovah], whom you slew between the temple and the altar [offering them as your evil sacrifice]. [Isaiah 66:3 …Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delight in their abominations. 4 I also will choose their delusions {their insanity they can’t differentiate from reality}, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.]
36 Truly I say unto you, All these things shall [have now] come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and stones them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, You shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the LORD.

Psalms 109
1 Hold not your peace, O God of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer [conversing with the LORD who’s given me understanding of the matter].
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set you a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand [as the spirit inspiriting them].
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer [unto the gods, idols men created and put in my place, which they deceitfully call by My name] become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office [pquddah – as the overseers, watchmen, of the earth].
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow [the insane who speak and work their evil].
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner [who steals their inheritance from them] catch all that he has; and let the strangers spoil his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out [cut off from the earth].
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers [whose knowledge is to do evil to his brothers] be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother [their teachers who teach them wisdom is to speak and work evil] be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart [who their evil ways made desolate].
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covers [‘atah] him, and for a girdle [preparation] wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of my adversaries [satan – the reward to those who attack and accuse me] from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 But do you for me, O God the LORD, for your name’s sake [in which you have sent me]: because your mercy [in our conversation at Your mercy seat] is good, deliver you me.
22 For I am poor and needy [without worldly power], and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declines [as Your sun rises, showing Your glory]: I am tossed up and down as the locust [by the same winds destroying the destroyers].
24 My knees are weak through fasting [Your people remain weak through refusing Your word as Yours]; and my flesh [of Your dead body] fails of fatness [because they refuse to prosper by these treasures You’ve sent them].
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shake their heads [refusing me].
26 Help me, O LORD my God [King of kings and LORD of lords]: O save me according to your mercy:
27 That they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless you: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let your servant rejoice.
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover [‘atah] themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

Zachariah 4
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel [who is the national leader born by coming out of confusion], saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war].
7 Who are you, O great mountain [corrupt governments of church and state]? before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings [tshu’ah], crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you.
10 For who has despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice and shall see the plummet [this right assessment that precedes the victory] in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven [the church]; they are the eyes of the LORD [seeing as He sees], which run to and fro [giving this knowledge of God] through the whole earth.

Exodus 32
17 And when Joshua heard the noise [qowl – the voices] of the people as they shouted [rea’], he said unto Moses, There is a noise [qowl – voices] of war in the camp.
18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear [repeating the words of men they made idols they put in God’s place].
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ [my] anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
21 And Moses said unto Aaron [the light givers now making idols], What did this people unto you, that you have brought so great a sin upon them?
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my LORD wax hot: you knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses [the LORD’s prophet, The LORD’s voice who alone was drawn from the waters below], the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.

Acts 17
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is LORD of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he gives to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the LORD, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us [always present with us, in us]:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring [flesh of His flesh, bone of His bone].

Deuteronomy 18
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken [shama’] unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21 And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow [hayah] not [is not understood or realized, comes not into being], nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously [zadown]: you shall not be afraid of him.

Micah 4
6 In that day, says the LORD, will I assemble her that halts [became lame and wandered off the right path], and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
7 And I will make her that halts [was lame] a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even forever.
8 And you, O tower of the flock [who see as the LORD sees], the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, unto you shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [into whom this teach has flowed].
9 Now why do you cry [rea’] out aloud? is there no king in you? is your counsellor perished? for pangs have taken you as a woman in travail [to bring forth the ONE BODY of Christ].
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the city [out of corrupt church and state institutions], and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to [realizing this is] Babylon; there shall you be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Now also many nations [who haven’t known the LORD] are gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the LORD of the whole earth.

Psalms 136
3 O give thanks to the LORD of lords: for his mercy endures forever.
4 To him who alone does great wonders: for his mercy endures forever.
5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endures forever.
6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endures forever.
7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endures forever:
8 The sun [the enlightened church government] to rule by day [the enlightened]: for his mercy endures forever:
9 The moon [enlightened civil government] and stars [God’s enlightened people] to rule by night [the ignorant who reject the light]: for his mercy endures forever.

Psalms 110 
A Psalm of David
1 The LORD [Jehovah] said unto my LORD [‘adown – the king He will establish], Sit you at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.
2 The LORD [Jehovah] shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion: rule you in the midst of your enemies [as I do, as commanded by the Higher power].
3 Your people shall be willing in the day of your power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning [this day now come]: you have the dew of your youth.
4 The LORD [Jehovah] has sworn, and will not repent, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek [the king of righteousness, and king of peace].
5 The LORD [‘Adonay – the King of kings] at your right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads [ro’sh – those whose evil ideas and ways rule] over many countries [‘erets – over the earth].
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way [this word sent into this time, to be revealed, by which]: therefore, shall he lift up [ruwm – raise and exalt] the head [ro’sh – His righteous ideas and way].
