27 January – 4 February 2026
And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
In the above, Daniel 2:3, the word rendered “dreamed,” the act of dreaming, is chalam, meaning “to bind firmly, i.e. (by implication) to be (causatively to make) plump; also (through the figurative sense of dumbness) to dream.”
It is speaking of the creations that occur in the mind of Nebuchadnezzar, a name we’ve often seen from the following words: naba’, meaning “to prophesy, i.e. speak (or sing) by inspiration (in prediction or simple discourse):–prophesy(-ing), make oneself a prophet;” kadab, meaning false; and natsar, meaning “to guard, in a good sense (to protect, maintain, obey, etc.) or a bad one (to conceal, etc.):– besieged, hidden thing, keep(-er, -ing), monument, observe, preserve(-r), subtil, watcher(-man).”
The word naba’ has its underlying affinity to the (four times used) word nuwb, meaning “to germinate, i.e. (figuratively) to (causatively, make) flourish; also (of words), to utter:–bring forth (fruit), make cheerful, increase.”
As often described, the name tells of the false prophets whose lies have caused the desolation of God’s people, by corrupting all truthful discourse, producing confusion (Babylon), now blossomed into mass insanity that rules the world it’s ending.
This is the dream, seeing the product, the fruit, now come upon the fourth and final kingdom (against which the fourth and final face of the unfolding presence of the LORD is manifested, as a stone cut without hand from a mountain, against), the strongest nation (this nation, and Babylon, all who rule by the same means) to ever have dominion over the earth, whose weakness is the mirey clay, the mixing of lies into the iron: the strength, understanding (light and life from the mouth of the LORD) only relayed (as a foundation re-laid) through truthful, courageous and uncorrupted, discourse.
The chapter’s subplot is that the king, not knowing his own dream, goes to the Chaldeans demanding they not only interpret it, but also tell him (because it left him) what it was about, which none can, and, therefore, he threatens to destroy them all.
As we know, the Chaldeans are the Magi, in our time the falsely so-called experts and wise men: the mass media of church and state, the mouth piece of the puppet masters who create and maintain the lies, always telling us what we should think and why we should think it, modern magicians using tricks to make people think they have some special power no others have, while its all manipulation. These deceivers, who use these means to control people into doing evil they call good, while they demonize good calling it evil, are also called astrologers, meaning they know what moves of the star (God’s people at large), knowledge (of marketing and saturation) they use to force upon society ways and ideas it would never, if known, accept.
Daniel 2
40 And the fourth [final] kingdom shall be strong [taqqiyph] as iron [pazel]: forasmuch as iron [pazel] breaks [dqaq – scatters] in pieces and subdues [chashal – only used here, meaning, brings into subjection, by weakening and shattering: scattering; referring to its once used corresponding Hebrew word, chashal, which appears in Deuteronomy 25:18, speaking of after it has come upon God’s people and ends with it as a recompense upon Amelek {not our kings, with affinity to ‘amal, meaning the worthless labor: works of men, builders without this Spirit of the LORD}: the enemies, not fearing God, who’ve warred against Him and His people throughout all generations] all things [under God’s rule]: and as iron [pazel] that breaks [dqaq – scatter] all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas you saw the feet and toes [the foundation upon which this nation now precariously stands], part of potters’ clay [formed by the hands of men, based upon worthless works], and part of iron [pazel], the kingdom shall be divided [as we now see it]; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as you saw iron [pazel] mixed [weakened] with miry [tiyn] clay. [The word tiyn only appears here and in verse 43. Its affinity is to the Hebrew word tiyt, meaning “to be sticky (rather perhaps derived from 2894 {tuw, meaning “to sweep away,” through the idea of dirt to be swept away, as in a swept house to which men return}).” The idea is of the LORD washing our feet, removing dirt that we’ve picked up in our journey through the generations, which is the mire that weakens iron. Matthew 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive {Me in receiving} you, nor hear your words {as they are, My words}, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust {mire} of your feet {as a witness against them}.]
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron [pazel], and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong [taqqiyph], and partly broken.
43 And whereas you saw iron [pazel] mixed with miry [tiyn] clay [the Almighty power, the only power {as a uncorn}, which is of God in His word which effectually works in those who receive it as His and Him, mixed with what clouded its clarity], they [those with this strength] shall mingle themselves with the seed of [godless] men [as enemies mixed among us]: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings [malek] shall the God of heaven set up [quwm – establish by His resurrection] a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break [bqaq – scatter] in pieces and consume [cuwph – only used one other time, in Daniel 4:33, rendered “fulfill”] all these [this upon the] kingdoms [risen against and resisting His and His people’s resurrection], and it shall [without corruption] stand forever.
45 Forasmuch as you saw that the stone [‘eben – referring to the corresponding Hebrew word ‘eben, which in Psalms 118:22 is the “stone” the builders refused, which has become the head of the head stone of the corner {pinnah – the pinnacle of the temple}] as cut out [gzar – the first risen from among the “the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers {gzar};”] of the mountain [tuwr – a twice used Chaldee {Arimaic} word, corresponding to the Hebrew word tsuwr, here speaking of the dead body of Christ] without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron [pazel], the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter [‘achar – the last days then not yet come]: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar [the false prophets whose presumptuous liberties, trespasses into the forbidden, caused the desolation of God’s people] fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel [the LORD manifested in His judgment], and commanded that they should [instead of their strange fire] offer an oblation and sweet odors unto him [the LORD who is working in the flesh of His chosen, here Daniel, His judgment personified].
47 The king [re-turning to his right mind] answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God [who the false prophets have not known] is a God of gods, and a LORD of kings, and [in Greek, in this necessary skandolon, the offense {scandal, public outrage, mocking in disbelief} of the cross] a revealer of secrets, seeing you [the LORD alive in him: Daniel the judgment of God revealed, speaking and working] could reveal [Himself in] this secret.
The (Chaldee) word pazel, above rendered “iron,” is from (corresponds to the Hebrew word) barzel, also most often rendered iron. The LORD intends it (barzel) to refer us to the passages below, where, giving context, it appears speaking of the uncorrupted strength found in God’s pure word, lost only by adding mire, the same (mire) which binds men in blindness and tribulation’s afflictions.
2 Samuel 23
1 Now these be the last [‘acharown – in ‘achar ‘own: the LORD’s strength manifested in these last days, in these] words of David [the beloved, I Am, the perpetual son further defined and declared]. David the son of Jesse [possessed by the LORD] said, and the man [of war] who was raised up [quwm – resurrected] on high [as the pinnacle of the temple], the anointed [mashiyach – the Messiah] of the God of Jacob, and the sweet [na’iym – that pleases the Father] psalmist [zamiyr – who sings, repeats as received, these words from the mouth of the LORD] of Israel [those who, by faith, receive them as His, declaring they are Him present and this is the expected end now come] 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 [tsuwr – the Christ, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in My flesh] of Israel spoke to me, He that rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God [knowing He is always with us, and is the Chief Overseer of the earth].
4 And he shall be as the light of the morning [this understanding that brings the new day], when the sun [the church, the ONE BODY of Christ] rises [zachar – meaning “to irradiate (or shoot forth beams), i.e. to rise (as the sun); specifically, to appear (as a symptom of {revealing} leprosy {what is destroying its flesh})], even a morning [new day] without clouds [when all understanding has returned to the earth]; as the tender grass springing out [new life on the earth, on the third day of this new creation] of the earth by clear [understanding] shining after rain [the LORD’s word, understanding sent from the clouds of heaven, where it was held, reserved, for this moment].
5 Although my house [the LORD’s family, the house of David] be not so [not yet receiving these blessings as Him and His, and are therefore not yet] with God; yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant [to correct the family of David, and not destroy it], ordered in [rightly arranging] all things, and sure [shamar – protecting and defending it against corruption]: for this is all my salvation [in the correction of the good seed], and all my desire, although he make it not to grow [until now, in this appointed time, in these last days of darkness’ reign].
6 But the sons of Belial [of the false gods of this world, which men created, put in My place, and call by My name, saying LORD, LORD] shall be all of them as thorns [misleaders and deceivers] thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands [because they, with their worthless works, pierce through and scatter the body that should be ONE]:
7 But the man that shall touch them [the false gods of this corrupt world] must be fenced with iron [barzel – this uncorrupted word from the mouth of the LORD] and the staff [shepherding] of a spear [this word sent through the air against corruption]; and they shall be utterly burned with fire [from the LORD’s mouth against their strange fire] in the same place.
Before looking at the word barzel, in 2 Kings 6:5 & 6, the following, ending with Revelation 12, is from the post of 12 June 2022, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Revelation 7
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne [[of the LORD God Almighty]], and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes [[purified from all corruption]], and palms in their hands [[laying them down to prepare His way into the city: among His people who’ve waited patiently for Him]];
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb [[His chosen, who’ve offered themselves to declare Him present with us, in us, in His word, and in our One mind of Christ]].
11 And all the angels [[His messenger speaking His word as received]] stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts [[the four faces Ezekiel saw in the wheel within a wheel, the full circuit of understanding sent and received, His unfolding presence revealed by His light and life]] and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 19
11 And I saw heaven opened [[and from there full understanding was sent]], and behold a white horse [[God’s purified people, His goodly horse in the battle – see Zachariah 10:3]] and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen [[the garments of the cleansed]], white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword [this Word of God], that with it he should smite the nations [[all who refuse to know Him]]: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress [[of this judgment]] of the fierceness and wrath [[the unfolding word of God they refuse]] of Almighty God.
16 And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of kings, And LORD Of lords [[see Daniel 2:47 above]]
The “rod of iron” spoken of above ultimately refers us to 2 Kings 6:6 as it is associated with Exodus 15:25. The latter tells of the “tree” (‘ets) the LORD showed Moses and told him to cast it into the bitter waters. In 2 Kings 6, it’s the “stick” (‘ets) the “man of God” said to cast into the Jordan [[the words that have carried all in the “descent” into death {the dead sea} and hell]], which caused the iron to swim. The word there rendered swim is tsuwph, meaning “to overflow:–(make to over-)flow, swim.”
It (tsuwph – only used two other times, rendered “overflow” and “flow”), tells of the iron covering the “branch,” and making it the “rod of iron” (rising above the waters, words, carrying all into death) in the hand of the hewer [[who is the LORD God Almighty]].
In Exodus 15, we are told of the tree cast into the bitter waters, making them sweet, after Moses sang (as given) the song unto the LORD, which begins by telling of throwing the oppressors into the sea, wherein the LORD has triumphed over them. He [[Christ, the chosen and declared Children of God]] is the tree cast into the waters, and by His strength (His words as the sweetness of honey, the word of God from His mouth, as a man of war), He makes the waters drinkable for His people again. [[Hebrews 2:10 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 of their salvation perfect through sufferings {as a Lamb}. 11 For {in this necessary sacrifice} both he that sanctifies {makes and declares us pure and holy} and they who are sanctified {are made and declared pure and holy} are all of one {BODY by the resulting like mind: co-perspective, seeing as He sees}: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 Saying, I will declare your name {LORD, Jehovah, who is God Almighty} unto my brethren, in the midst of the church {Your ONE living BODY} will I sing praise unto you.]]
Exodus 15
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song [[the word given to be repeated as received]] unto the LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider [[the wicked in power over the institution of church and state, at war against God and His people]] has he thrown into the sea [[into the hand of the people at large]].
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation [[yshuw’ah – Jehovah’s Salvation: Joshua, who is Jesus: the son of Nun, in perpetuity]]: he is my God, and I will prepare him a habitation [[in my purified mind]]; my father’s God, and I will exalt him [[His voice heard above all other voices]].
3 The LORD [[of the army of heaven]] is a man of war: the LORD [[Yhovah – Yahh: Jehovah, to whom all things appertain {ya’ah}]] is his name [[identity]]. [[Jeremiah 10:6 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? for to you does it appertain {ya’ah – the origin of Yahh, which only appears here}: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations {all who haven’t known You}, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto you. 8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities {worthless and false}.]]
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host [[the evil army at war with God and His people, who have ignorantly presued up into the depths of these waters]] has he cast [[yarah – as in Jerusalem {yarah shalam}, by His teaching, flowing His peace, as rivers of this life giving understand and light]] into the sea [[all His people at large]]: his [[Satan’s]] chosen captains also are drowned in the Red [[reed – the sign of the shore reached, this papyrus upon which the word is spiritually written]] sea [[and sent to His people]].
5 The depths [[in the subsurface, darkened deep, hidden only in men’s ignorance]] have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone [[‘eben – by the word of the LORD, through the voice of His chosen]].
6 Your right hand [[the strength in Your work]], O LORD, is become glorious in power: your right hand, O LORD, has dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of your excellency, you have overthrown them that rose up against you: you sent forth your wrath [[this word they refuse]], which consumed them as [[fire against]] stubble.
8 And with the blast of your nostrils the waters [[the separated element of understanding]] were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea [[all these separated elements of understanding have come together in the minds of all God’s people at large]].
9 The enemy [[devils possessed by Satan, knowing that there time was shortly to be ended]] said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword [[their lying words spoken trying to keep their lies and deception from being uncovered]], my hand shall destroy them.
10 You did blow with your wind [[your Holy Spirit, Your presence unknown, moving upon the surface of the deep, revealing what lay waiting beneath]], the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters [[in Your Almighty word, which effectually works in the sea, effecting the minds of reasonable men]].
11 Who is like unto you, O LORD, among the [[false]] gods [[of this now totally corrupt world]]? who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders [[these things at which men wonder, not realizing what {Your presence} they are experiencing]]?
12 You stretched out [natah – spread before all, in this firmament You call heaven, this exposition in which is separated the waters above from the waters below, Your pure word from the corrupted words of men]] right hand [[Your works through Your words]], the earth swallowed them [[into the belly of the hell these same men’s words created]].
The words of the enemies, devil’s (the misleader’s [[possessed by Satan]] mixed among us, saying they are of us), lies and false accusations against the Word of God and the truth that is self-evident in (the experience of) our time, are both the waters of the sea that are separated.
They are those now awakening God’s people, the lukewarm who’ve chosen the waters above, as the earth [[below]] (by the experience of the moment – now most evident in the televised fictitious spectacle, the delusions of the Satanists) swallows up the flood of evil words.
([[Speaking of the stolen 2020 election, a fraud perpetrated by the complicit and corrupt mass media in collusion with communist enemies foreign and domestic]] FYI: they, the wicked in the deep state, the true insurrectionists who were in the process of overthrowing the sitting and reelected president, conspired and colluded to orchestrate, put on a show, act one of a delusion they produced to reverse define it as reality. They are known liars telling known lies, false accusers falsely accusing the innocent of doing what they’ve done. The only people they are fooling are themselves and the ignorant who blindly follow them, and “the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” [[quoted from 2 Thessalonians 2:9 & 10]])
Revelation 12
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens [[who were before in corrupted places where understanding should have been found and wasn’t, which are now cleansed by receiving this ingrafted word from the risen LORD]], and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of [[who choose to remain in]] the [[old and totally corrupt]] earth and of the sea [[the last generation of the old]]! for the devil [the misleaders doing Satan’s work] is come down unto you, having great wrath [[as we now see in full flower, resisting and opposing the new creation wherein dwells the LORD’s righteousness]], because he knows that he has but a short time. [See Romans 9:28 below [[in the original post]]]
13 And when the dragon [[men as a group, like {tan and tanniyn} serpents and whales, as sea monsters who consume their prey with wide open mouths {look it up; the Hebrew word}]] saw that he was cast unto the earth [[drawn into plain sight]], he persecuted the woman which brought forth [[against them]] the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings [[pterux – see the previous post, this the understanding, like mind]] of a great eagle [[[the fourth and final face of the unfolding presence of the LORD]] given strength by the words of those already strengthened], that she might fly [by this same strength, out of confusion] into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished [[by the LORD with this feast]] for a time, and times [[[in Danie 12:7 these are from the word mow’ed, meaning the “appointed time” and {of the} “congregation”} into His ONE living BODY]]; until [[when]] the deep sleep is ended], and half a time [and the time and season are rightly divided [[in Danile 12:7 the word {“half”} is chetsiy]]: understood], from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood [poisonous words of deception] after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away [[[back]] into death and hell] of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up [by understanding the experience of the moment] the flood which the dragon [the serpent [[as a monster]] in the sea, devouring any who follow his leading] cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony [[the word from the mouth]] of Jesus Christ [[Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh, from the mouth, of His chosen]].
All the following is from the post of 4 March 2025, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Therefore, you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it.
The LORD begins in the above, Ezekiel 4:7, where He commands the Son of man (Ezekiel, I Am, the strength of Jehovah) to manifest His presence (face – paniym), which is His (work, strength) arm (zrowa’) uncovered (chasaph), to His [[rescued]] people (New Heavenly Jerusalem).
The “siege” mentioned here is from the word matsowr, a word only used in Ezekiel five times: four times in chapter 4 (verses 2, 3, 7, & 8), and once in chapter 5 (verse 2). It (matsowr) is asking the question, “what (ma) siege (tsuwr)?” The latter Hebrew word (tsuwr) only appears twice in Ezekiel: once in 4:3 (rendered “siege”) and once in 5:3 (rendered “bind”), both answering the question.
Ezekiel 4
3 Moreover take you unto you an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face [paniym – in this conversation manifesting My presence] against it, and it shall be besieged [matsowr], and you shall lay siege [tsuwr] against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
The words “iron pan” are from the Hebrew words barzel and machabath. The word barzel is from the words bar, meaning winnowing (separating the wheat from the chaff), from the word barar, meaning “to clarify (i.e. brighten), examine, select:–make bright, choice, chosen, cleanse (be clean), clearly, polished, (show self) pure(-ify), purge (out),” and zalal, meaning “to shake (as in the wind), i.e. to quake; figuratively, to be loose morally, worthless or prodigal [[as strength shakes away the creations of men, which was only lost in their unclear waters, when iron isn’t sharpening iron]].”
[[2 Kings 6
1 And the sons of the prophets {who have degenerated into corruption, who in their pride, refuse to see it and be corrected back into purity} said unto Elisha {God is their salvation}, Behold {see as the LORD sees} now, the place where we dwell {where we sit in judgment} with {paniym – with the LORD’s presence} you is too strait {tsar – is the place of evil and mixed among the enemies of God and His people} for us.
2 Let us go, we pray you, unto Jordan {into the descent into death and comes through these darkened waters that have flowed into all God’s people and the now totally corrupt world}, and take thence {then and there} every man a beam {qowrah – to make a dam and hold back the pure waters}, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go you.
3 And one said, Be content {ya’al – let us trespass into foolishness}, I pray you, and go with your servants {with the degenerate sons of the prophets}. And he answered, I will go {taking Elisha, the Salvation of the LORD, into foolishness with them}.
4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan {the waters, men’s foolish and worthless words, that have carried all the living into death and hell}, they cut down {gazar – destroyed, as in Ezekiel 37:11} wood {all the upright men}. {Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel {upon whom this expected end has come}: behold {seeing them as the LORD sees}, they say, Our bones are dried {without the waters from an uncorrupted heaven}, and our hope is lost: we are cut off {gazar – destroyed} for our parts {from being the ONE living BODY of Christ}.}
5 But as one was felling {naphal – the deep sleep that “fell” upon Adam in Genesis 2:21, and upon Abram {Abraham} in Genesis 15:11, the latter where it’s also rendered “darkness;” telling us the sleep, the fall, is into minds deadened by ignorance of God’s presence always with us} beam {qowrah – to make a wall to stop the pure waters from freely flowing}, the axe head {barzel – clarity} fell into the {mired} water {of the Jordan, of death}: and he cried, and said, Alas, master {‘adown – Elisha, the LORD and King, alive in Him as Salvation manifested in His flesh, telling us the way back into the light}! for it was borrowed {sha’al – this iron is only found when enquired of the LORD: referring to its use in 2 Samuel 5:23}. {2 Samuel 5:23 And when David inquired {sha’al} of the LORD, he said, You shall not go up {shall not rise to fight against the enemy army attacking God’s people}; but fetch a compass behind {cabab ‘archar} them {encircle them in My people in these last days}, and come upon them {in Perazim, as these waters breaking forth upon the enemies} over against {muwl – as they stand and oppose} the mulberry trees {baka’ – the man whose tears, waters that come by seeing as the LORD sees, become a pool of these living waters}. 24 And let it be, when you hear {shama’ – this voice as the LORD’s} the sound {qowl – this voice} of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees {baka’, from which come 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 us}.}
6 And the man of God {I Am} said, Where fell {naphal} it {into the deep sleep in death}? And he showed him the place. And he {the Salvation of God} cut down a stick {Christ}, and cast {shalak – into the bitter waters, the LORD manifesting His presence in the flesh of His chosen, through whom He flows, teaches, the way of life, light, and understanding} it in thither {therein}; and the iron {barzel} did swim {tsuwph – a three times used word meaning to overflow, meaning it overcame the corruption, darkness, and death in the waters of the Jordan}. {The “stick” is the “tree” cast {shalak} into the bitter waters in Marah, meaning bitterness, making the sweet {to again give strength in the mouth}.}
7 Therefore said he, Take it up {ruwm – “exalt” the pure word of the LORD, above all other voices} to you. And he put out his hand, and took it {shalach – accepted it as the word of the LORD, and obeyed it as such}.
[[Exodus 15
22 So Moses {who was drawn out of the bitter waters below} brought Israel {God’s people who’ve reached and receive this promised end} from the Red {reed – papyrus, this written word sent into the} sea {all people at large}, and they went out into the wilderness {midbar – also meaning speech: the word taught to the desolate} of Shur {where the “wall” was built to hold back these living, sweet, waters}; and they went three days {waiting for this resurrection} in the wilderness, and {during the time of desolation, when God’s word was sealed in silence and His Spirit stilled} found no water.
23 And when they came to Marah {this time when all the waters have been made bitter by the rebellion of the wicked among us}, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name {identity} of it was called Marah.
24 And the people murmured {luwn – tarried all night in the darkness, speaking words} against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25 And he {I Am, the one He separated from the bitter water below} cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed {yarah – as in the name Jerusalem, yarah shalam, taught, flowed into me {us} His way to understand} him {like} a tree {Christ, the LORD’s chosen, in the flesh teaching, flowing through me {us}, this understanding to His people again}, which when he had cast {shalak} into the waters, the waters were made sweet {in our mouths giving strength: understanding}: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance {that should be taught and preached to all generations hereafter}, and there he {in this trial by fire} proved them,
26 And said, If you will diligently hearken {shama’ – and become obedient} to the voice of the LORD your God {heard here and now}, and will do that which is right in his sight, and will give ear {‘azen – broaden, let this word enter your minds} to his commandments, and keep {shamar – protect and defend against corruption} all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians {those who’ve held you a double strait, oppression under the rule of the corrupt institutions of church and state}: for I am the LORD that heals you {by healing the bitter waters}.
27 And they came to Elim {from the word ‘ayil, speaking of the upright, meaning “strength; hence, anything strong; specifically a chief (politically); also a ram (from his strength); a pilaster (as a strong support); an oak or other strong tree”}, where were twelve {the number denoting governmental perfection} wells of {there these purified, sweetened} water {therein protected and defended against corruption, by just government reinstituted, with its just mandate restored, to secure our God given rights}, and threescore and ten {the number of spiritual perfection multiplying ordinal perfection} palm trees [tamar – here resurrected in the upright}: and they encamped {chanah – forever dwelling here in heaven with the LORD with us, in us} there by the {pure} waters.
[[The word chadad, appearing twice below in Proverbs 27:17, speaking of iron sharpening iron, appears four other times, in Ezekiel 21:9, 10, & 11, and in Habakkuk 1:8, therein speaking of the corrupted word precipitating (by the perdition of the unreasonable and willingly ungodly) the correction (the destruction of the intentional corrupters, the sons of perdition) that purifies it again.
[[Ezekiel 21
6 Sigh therefore, you son of man, with the breaking {shibrown – only appearing here and in Jeremiah 17:28 where it is the double “destruction” of evil} of your loins {used in the sense of the completion, men’s final thoughts, upon which they make their stand}; and with {because they choose} bitterness {myiyruwth – only used here, from the same origin {mar} as Marah} sigh before their eyes {so they with me will see as the LORD sees}.
7 And it shall be, when they say unto you, Wherefore sigh you? that you shall answer, For the tidings {shmuw’ah – the report, the voice of the LORD heard}; because it comes: and every heart {mind} shall melt, and all hands {the word of men} shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and shall be brought to pass, says the LORD God.
8 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 Son of man, prophesy {speak My word a given}, and say, Thus says the LORD; Say, A sword {this word they refuse}, a sword {this word refused} is sharpened {chadad – is made a fierce defense}, and also furbished {marat – made bare before the eyes of all the world}:
10 It is sharpened {chadad – made a fierce defense} to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished {made bare} that it may glitter {shine this light of the LORD upon all}: should we then make mirth? it contemns the rod {shebet – the scepter to rule} of my son {the dead body of Christ}, as every tree {from which should flow this same word, but doesn’t, therefore the ax head, the iron, is laid to it}.
11 And he has given it to be furbished {marat – made bare: revealed}, that it may be handled: this sword {this word refused} is sharpened {chadad – made a fierce defense} }; and it is furbished {marat – made bare}, to give it into the hand {against the work} of the slayer {who as Cain, slayed his brother, because his works were evil and his brother’s were good}.
12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon your thigh.
13 Because it is a trial {by fire}, and what if the sword {this word of God these men refuse} contemn even the rod {shebet – the scepter to rule, which has become barren}? it shall be no more {n’um – no longer uttered, falsely claiming it is an oracle of God}, says the LORD God.
14 You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite your hands together. and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which enters into their privy chambers {chadar – the lies and falsehoods under which they think they are hidden, saying who sees us, against which come the chadad, this fierce defense}.
[[Habakkuk 1
5 Behold you among the heathen {all who haven’t known the ever present LORD}, and regard, and wonder marvelously {wondering about what your now opened eyes are seeing and your ears are hearing}: for I will work a work in your days which you will not believe, though it {by a man} be told you. {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 declares it unto you.}
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans {evil men using their words to manipulate and control the world into doing evil and to deny the present LORD with us, alive in our flesh}, that bitter {mar} and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land {‘erets – the earth}, to possess the dwelling-places that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity, {creations of their own evil minds possessed by Satan} shall proceed of themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce {chadad – in their offense} than the evening wolves {with their ignorance scattering all God’s people}: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far {rachowq – in this time when the earth is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men in power}; they shall fly as the eagle {saying they are speaking God’s word} that hasten to eat {devour all with their open mouths}.
12 Are you not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, you have ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, you have established them for correction.]]
It (barzel) refers to its use in Psalms 2:9 and Proverbs 27:17, speaking of how corruption is removed from the minds of men.
Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen [gowy – those who don’t know the LORD] rage [hagah – the “muttering” of the peeping wizards of Isaiah 8:19, the dead speaking words of death, who people listen to instead of Immanuel], and the people imagine a vain [worthless] thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder [that bind us to the LORD], and cast away their cords [‘aboth – the “bands” of Ezekiel 4:8] from us. [Ezekiel 4:8 And, behold, I will lay bands [‘aboth] upon you, and you shall not turn you from one side to another, till you have ended the days of your siege {matsowr}.]
4 He that sits in the heavens [full understanding] shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision [la’ag – referring us to its use in Psalms 59, saying: 8 But you, O LORD, shall laugh at them; you shall have all the heathen in derision {la’ag}. 9 Because of his strength will I wait upon you {as in Proverbs 27:18 below}: for God is my defense. 10 The God of my mercy shall prevent {go before} me: God shall let me see my desire upon my enemies. 11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O LORD our shield. 12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. 13 Consume {kalah} them in wrath, consume {kalah} them {as decreed}, that they may not be: and let them know that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth {ending the old and corrupt, beginning the new}. Selah {think about it}.].
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king [from whom I speak] upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree [choq]: the LORD has said unto me, “You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron [barzel – by rightly separating {shaking} corruption from the pure so all things are clearly seen]; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
10 Be wise now therefore, O you kings: be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Proverbs 27
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may [through you] answer him that reproaches me.
12 A prudent man foresees the evil, and hides himself [before He is snared in it]; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14 He that blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman [never satisfied] are alike.
16 Whosoever hides her hides the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrays itself.
17 Iron [barzel] sharpens [[chadad – fiercely contends with]] iron [barzel – others who will rightly separate [[shake]] corruption from the pure, making things clearly seen]; so a man sharpens [[chadad – fiercely contends]] the countenance of [paniym – as the LORD’s presence manifested to and then in] his friend [in this way [[removing corruption making things clearly seen]]].
18 Whoso keeps the fig tree [guards and protects God’s people from corruption] shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waits on his master [the LORD God] shall be honored.
19 As in water face [paniym – in the word of God His presence is seen] answers to face [paniym – and in hearing His word from us His presence is seen identically], so the heart [mind] of [enlightened] man to [enlighten other enlightened] man.
20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied [never saying it is enough, now we see Him and will purge out corruption].
21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; [to separate corruption from the pure] so is a man to his praise.
22 Though you shouldest bray [mix] a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not [without purging his corruption from the pure] his foolishness depart from him.
23 Be you diligent to know the state of your flocks [to see if there is corruption defiling what must be pure], and look [make] well to your herds [by purging corrupt as we must].
24 For riches are not for ever [all truly valuable understanding tends toward corruption over time]: and does the crown [just rule] endure to every generation?
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 [were set before] 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 [kanaph] 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 [barar]; and with the froward [those twisting and perverting truth] you will show yourself unsavory.
28 And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bring them down.
29 For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten [give understanding to] 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 [magen – a shield covering] to 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.
[[See 2 Samuel 23 above.]]
Ezekiel 20
33 As I live, says the LORD God, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:
34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries [‘erets – the earth] wherein you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face [paniym – manifesting My presence in this conversation] to face [paniym – to raise My presence in you].
36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you [in this conversation], says the LORD God.
37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
38 And I will purge [barar – the only time the word appears in Ezekiel] out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country [‘erets – the earth] where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land [‘adamah – this first generation of the new creation] of Israel: and you shall know that I am the LORD.
Daniel 12
1 And at that time [of the promised end reached] shall Michael [who is made in God’s likeness] stand up [‘amad – resurrected in these last days], the great prince which stand for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – the tribulation], such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the [now opened] book.
2 And many of them that sleep [this is Abram’s deep sleep – Genesis 15:12] in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [give understanding] as the brightness of the firmament [the exposition that divides the words of men from the words of God]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets]: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold [I saw], there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river [during the time when the book is sealed and opened].
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river [of time carrying this word of God forward], How long shall it be to the end [qets] of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that lives for ever that it shall be for a time [mow’ed – an appointed time when the book was closed], times [mow’ed – now when it is opened], and an half [chetsiy – when this word is split open again and rightly divided]; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power [by corrupting the true word of God, and it isn’t in them effectually working to bring them to life] of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my LORD [‘adown], what shall be the end [‘achariyth – the last days] of these things?
As often discussed, this chapter gives the formula (time and times – both from mow’ed, meaning the appointed time and congregation) and numbers of days that add up to the time of Abram’s deep sleep, beginning then and ending now: when the LORD Himself reveals them as He opens the book and we find ourselves written therein.
Daniel 12
9 And he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified [barar – purged of the corruption that holds them in death’s sleep], and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily [necessary] sacrifice [declaring “thus says the LORD”] shall be taken away, and the abomination [men’s word’s and ways, as idols put in God’s place] that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days [the time, and one of the times].
12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [the other of the times – adding the time 1290 + (to the times 1290 + 1335) = the number of years since Abram’s {Abraham’s} deep sleep began – see Genesis 15:12].
13 But go you your way till the end [qets – the full end, now when we are awakened] be: for you shall rest, and stand [‘amad – from the sleep in death resurrected] in your lot at the end [qets – the full end] of the days [here spoken of].
The five times used word machabath asks what (ma) chabeth, meaning to cook; the word, therefore, asks what is cooked, which should be unleavened bread with oil, as described in the word’s other uses. Later in the chapter, Ezekiel 4, the LORD tells Ezekiel to make bread and cook it using man’s dung: describing the fire coming from their leaven: corruption that comes like excrement from man.
Ezekiel protests having to eat these abominations: defiled bread, and the LORD then (further describing spiritual deep meaning) tells him to use cow’s dung instead. The word “cow” is here baqar, which is an ox (referring to Ezekiel 1:10, the third face of the unfolding presence of the LORD, a man doing the LORD’s work in the earth), here describing the corruption (leaven) as coming from men in these positions.
Ezekiel 4
13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles [who haven’t known the LORD], whither I will drive them.
14 Then said I, Ah LORD God! behold, my soul has not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given you cow’s [baqar] dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread therewith.
16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of [corrupt] bread [these same words, describing the bread as a rob, appear in Psalms 105:16] in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight [considering what you are eating], and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment [not understanding what they are hearing]: [Psalms 105:15 Saying, Touch not my anointed {mashiyach – Messiah}, and do my prophets no harm. 16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land {‘erets – and His word wasn’t heard in the earth}: he brake the whole staff of bread {causing them to go into bondage in Egypt}. 17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: 18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron {barzel – until the purge}: 19 Until the time that his {pure} word came: the word of the LORD tried him.]
17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonied [shamem – not understanding what they are hearing] one with another, and consume away [maqaq – the same word used three times in Zachariah 14:12] for their iniquity [that makes them ignorant].
Zachariah 14
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem [the peace He is teaching]; Their [works of the] flesh shall consume [maqaq] away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes [what they say they’ve seen and understand] shall consume [maqaq] away in their holes, and their tongue [their word against the LORD] shall consume [maqaq] away in their mouth. [Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.]
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they [the elect remnant] shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand [doing this work of the LORD] shall rise up [exalting His word] against the hand [the corrupt thoughts and words] of his neighbor [see Ezekiel 5 below].
The word baqar (rendered “cow’s” in Ezekiel 4:15) is from an almost identical seven times used word, meaning “to plough, or (generally) break forth, i.e. (figuratively) to inspect, admire, care for, consider,” which appears twice in Ezekiel, in chapter 34, verses 11 & 12.
In the other use of the word tsuwr by Ezekiel, in Ezekiel 5:3, the LORD reveals the siege, His word manifesting His presence against the darkness, is the conversation by which He joins us at His mercy seat.
Ezekiel 5 begins with the LORD, in a similitude, commanding Ezekiel to shave the hair from His head and from His beard, signifying His people’s thoughts that have grown from their head, which are manifested in their word, which covers (masking, veiling their face) His presence from being revealed in them.
Ezekiel 5
1 And you, son of man, take you a sharp knife, take you a barber’s razor, and cause it to pass upon your head and upon your beard: then take you balances to weigh, and [rightly] divide the hair [so they understand the meaning held herein].
2 You shall burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege [mastowr] are fulfilled [when they hear My voice and receive this understanding]: and you shall take a third part, and smite about it with a knife [rightly dividing its meaning]: and a third part you shall scatter in the wind [sending it thought the air to all]; and I will draw out a sword [this word they refuse to hear and obey] after them.
3 You shall also take thereof a few [the elect remnant] in number, and bind [tsuwr – join them with Me in this siege] them in your skirts [kanaph – in this conversation at My mercy seat].
4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire [this word from the LORD’s mouth], and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
5 Thus says the LORD God; This is [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [My people into whom My word has flowed]: I have set it in the midst of the nations [all those who haven’t known Me] and countries [‘erets – the earth] that are round about her.
6 And she [My people still refusing to hear My voice] has changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
As previously discussed, kanaph (where the LORD is seen, as in 2 Samuel 22:11 above) is the Hebrew word Ezekiel uses to describe the “wings” he sees in the wheel within a wheel. It (kanaph) is also the “wings” of eagles (the fourth and final face of the unfolding presence of the LORD manifested, which faces Ezekiel saw in the wheel within a wheel), with which the LORD carries us into freedom, and the “wings” of the cherubims that cover the mercy seat, where His presence is manifested in the conversation.
Isaiah 24
10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
11 There is a crying for wine [to have their minds changed] in the streets; all joy is darkened [all realization of the LORD’s presence is covered by ignorance], the mirth [the happiness that comes with this realization] of the land [‘erets – the earth] is gone.
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate [holding men in hell] is smitten [kathath – by the voice of the LORD] with destruction.
13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land [‘erets – the earth] among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
14 They [the few left] shall lift up their voice, they shall sing [this word] for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea [to all humanity].
15 Wherefore glorify you the LORD in the fires [with us], even the name [identity] of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea [to the dry places that have been without His word for the many years of our desolation].
16 From the uttermost part of [kanaph – the wings of the wheel within a wheel, the wings of the cherubim above the mercy seat, which are the voice of the LORD heard rising with full understanding and raising us with Him above] the earth have we heard [His] songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me [I have no children to do My work]! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously [with deception deceived all My people]; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
Psalms 6
1 O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3 My soul is also sore vexed: but you, O LORD, how long [will man be without Your understanding]?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for your mercies’ sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of you: in the grave [sheol – in hell] who shall give you thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 My eye is consumed because of grief; it waxed old because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
Psalms 3
1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But you, O LORD, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for you have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongs unto the LORD: your blessing is upon your people. Selah.
To the chief musician, on ngiynah, [when He has struck down the enemies as if a stringed instrument, playing a melody all should hear and know].
