30 September – 11 October 2026
LORD, how is it that you will manifest yourself unto us, and not unto the world?
The word rendered “manifest,” in the above question from John 14:22, is from the ten times used word emphanizo, meaning “to exhibit (in person) or disclose (by words):–appear, declare (plainly), inform, (will) manifest, show, signify.”
The word is used in multiple forms to describe exactly how the LORD said he would both disappear and appear again to our sight, which is Him declaring Himself in this conversation. The conversation is that described in Ezekiel’s vision of the four faces he saw in the wheel within a wheel (the word of the LORD sent forward to give understanding of the moment to those predestine to receive it, which ultimately is Him in it revealing Himself from the unknown: the Holy Ghost as the Comforter, the Father unknown in the flesh: the Son He reveals as He reveals Himself in the same).
John 14
18 I will not leave you comfortless [parakletos: the Holy Spirit: that Father in the flesh working and speaking unknown]: I will come [erchomai – in these necessary utterances] to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world [with minds blinded by following false gods] sees me no more; but [in this conversation where I am revealed] you [with enlightened minds] see me: because I live [in the flesh I choose], you [My called and chosen] shall live also.
20 At that day you shall know that I Am in my Father, and you in me [the ONE BODY of Christ: the Father manifest in the son He reveals], and I [Am] in you [the flesh I have chosen].
21 He that has my commandments, and keeps [tereo – guards] them [from men’s blinding corruption], he it is that loveth [agapao] me [which is Christian charity, giving this, His, word as received]: and [speaking of this word given to those who guard it and give it as received] he that loves [agapao] me shall be loved [agapao] of my Father, and I will love [agapao] him, and will [in the word received] manifest [emphanizo – declare PLAINLY] myself to [BE with and in] him [when the word is faithfully received as mine and is faithfully repeated as given].
The following, ending with 2 Corinthians 4, is from the previous post, with some additions.
2 Corinthians 3
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech [declaring the LORD is alive in us speaking and working unknown, until He reveals Himself]:
13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face [to hide the LORD’s presence], 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 [not their eyes] were blinded: for until this day [when this light has come] 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 of His choosing].
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 [epistrepho – meaning “to revert” {return to that which was turned away from}] 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 [reveal in us His] glory, even as [it truly is] 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.”
Friends, these passages plainly tell us our transfiguration, as was the LORD Jesus’, comes by the renewing of our minds, by turning away from the corruption that dominates all current understanding and discourse, which returning (to His One mind) only comes by faith that it is Him calling us back to the One from whom we departed.
Romans 12
3 For I say, through the grace [this gift of the LORD’s 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 [Satan working in those He possesses] has blinded the minds [not the eyes] of them which believe not [that He is always with us and willing to open the minds of the blind], lest the light [this understanding] of the glorious gospel of Christ [the LORD alive in my, our, 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 [this understanding] to shine out of darkness [ignorance that now covers all the earth], 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 [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh He chooses and declares: commends].
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 [thlibo – the tribulation that would come, and is now] on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed [aporeo – with seemingly no way out], but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken [by the LORD who is always with us, in us]; cast down [with all the corrupt world into hell], but not destroyed [by the flames];
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the LORD Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest [phaneroo – apparent] in our [before dead flesh] body.
The idea of the LORD’s presence manifested in us when we show His mind by speaking as He speaks, as flesh epistles, is that spoken of by Paul earlier in 2 Corinthians 3. The word epistelo, from the word epistello, meaning “from 1909 [epi – over] and 4724 [stello – stao luo: stand loosed]; to enjoin (by writing), i.e. (genitive case) to communicate by letter (for any purpose).” It is speaking of the waters above, standing loosed from the waters below, which is the evidence of the LORD with us (standing with Him), in us.
The word stello, meaning “to set fast (“stall”), i.e. (figuratively) to repress (reflexively, abstain from associating with),” only appears twice, in 2 Corinthians 8:20 and 2 Thessalonians 3:6.
Friends, in these words hear the Father speaking to us, of us, revealing Himself and our eternal identity in Him.
2 Corinthians 5
14 For the love of [agape – leading us away from the waters below] Christ constrains us [sunecho – holds us together]; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all [together with Him] dead [and are now here housed in hell, cast down into the waters below]:
15 And that he died for all [in the same way, and remained with us as promised], that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and [here in hell, among the waters below] rose again [and has become the waters separated above].
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more [as flesh, but as the Spirit of the Father here with us, in us].
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ [in His ONE BODY], he is a new [Spiritual] creature: old things [the flesh] are passed away; behold, all things [in this new creation] are become new.
18 And all [new and good] things are [the creations] of God, who has reconciled [katallasso – changed] us to himself by Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh He has chosen and made new], and has given to us the ministry of [the same] reconciliation [katallage – from kataluo, meaning loosed down – into death, to here rise in the overthrow of the waters below];
19 To wit [hos – in this manner], that God was in Christ [the flesh in which He chose to reveal Himself], reconciling [katallasso – here changing] the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them [the dead, here loosed from the law]; and has committed [tithemi – explained by discourse; this conversation] unto us the word of reconciliation [katallage – to overthrow the waters below].
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though [hos – in this manner] God did beseech you by us: we pray [speak to] you in Christ’s stead, be you reconciled [katallage – let the waters below in your minds be overthrown] to God.
21 For he has made him [in the waters below] to be sin for us, who [before death] knew no sin; that we might be [raised with Him] made the righteousness [the corrected people] of God in him [His ONE BODY speaking His word as received from Him].
2 Corinthians 6
1 We then, as workers [joined] together with him [to complete the same change in others who receive Him], beseech you also that you receive not the grace [this gift of these treasures: life-giving waters] of God in vain [making it worthless, by not giving it as received].
2 (For he says, I have heard you [repeating this word, giving this understanding] in a time accepted [euprosdektos], and in the day of salvation have I succored [rescued] you [out of the waters below]: behold, now is the accepted [dektos] time [to speak His word as received]; behold, now is the day of [time of light, understand returned to the earth, which is Jehovah’s] salvation.)
3 Giving no offence [proskope – misinterpretation and outright deception in the waters below, again surging] in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4 But in all things approving [suneimi – joined in One mind with the LORD] ourselves as the ministers of God [giving these waters above], in much patience [not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance], in afflictions [thlipsis – tribulation], in necessities, in distresses,
5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watching, in fasting;
6 By pureness [by which we see Him], by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost [the Father with us, in us, speaking and working unknown], by love unfeigned [agape anupokritos – giving this word without deception], [Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation {anupokritos}. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.]
7 [Overthrow the waters below] By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness [doing good] on the right hand and on the left,
8 By [long-suffering the false accusations of the ignorant] honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9 As unknown [as the LORD with us, in us is unknown], and yet [by His glory transmitted through us] well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened [corrected by the overflowing of the water above], and not killed;
10 As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing [in realizing His presence in the experience]; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 O you Corinthians [those satisfied by receiving the things the LORD has provided], [as commanded] our mouth is open unto you, our heart [mind] is enlarged [when you realize it is the LORD’s mind transmitted through us].
12 You are not straitened [restricted] in us, but you are straitened [restricted] in your own bowels [the blinding false truths remaining in your minds].
13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children [reproduced after your own kind],) be you also enlarged [in this same way: by His glory revealed by your open mouths speaking His word that has overflowed all error: sin].
14 Be you not unequally yoked [in word and work] together with unbelievers [who don’t know the LORD, nor do they believe He is always present with us, in us]: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness [truth with error]? and what communion has light [understanding] with darkness [ignorance]?
15 And what concord [sumphonesis – only appearing here, meaning common sounds: words as a symphony] has Christ [the LORD manifesting His presence in the flesh He chooses] with Belial [men as the false gods of this world, as messengers who’ve left their first estate, and now speak blinding minds with their own creations: erroneous and presumptuous opinions they call truth]? or what part has he that believes [the LORD is always present with us, in us] with an infidel [apistos – those without this Christian faith]?
16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols [men created, put in His place, and called by His name]? for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them [those who by choice live in error], and be you separate, says the LORD, and touch not the unclean [corrupt] thing; and I will receive you.
18 And will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty.
2 Corinthains 7
1 Having therefore these promises [that He will be with us, and live in us], dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting [epiteleo – completing] holiness in the fear of God.
2 Receive us [as earthen vessels in which the LORD lives]; we [not using the word of the LORD deceitfully] have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that you are in our hearts [minds] to [here] die and [from the ruin of the earth; the belly of hell] live with you.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you [in the Father’s name, declaring Him present], great is my glorying of [the Father revealed with] you: I Am filled with comfort [paraklesis – the LORD in me speaking and working unknown], I am exceeding joyful [of His revealing Himself in me, which I fully realize] in all our tribulation [thlipsis].
5 For, when we were come into Macedonia [meaning a shambles {makellon}, a slaughterhouse, where the dead body of Christ, the carcasses of the dead, are dismembered and distributed to those who consume it], our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled [thlibo – in tribulation] on every side; without were fighting, within were fears.
6 Nevertheless God, that comforts [parakaleo – leads into all truth] those that are cast down [tapeinos – those humbled when realizing the fallen state of the dead body of Christ here in hell], comforted [parakaleo – led us into all truth] us by the coming of Titus [speaking of those whose minds have already been enlarged];
7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation [paraklesis – these words that enlarge and free our minds from possession] wherewith he was comforted [parakaleo – established the truth] in you, when he told us your earnest desire [diligently searching for all truth], your mourning [the fallen state of the body], your fervent [zelos] mind toward me [to be enlarged in mind]; so that I rejoiced the more [realizing the mind of Christ is formed in you].
Before continuing with the above chapter, the word tapeinos, used eight times, is given the meaning “of uncertain derivation; depressed, i.e. (figuratively) humiliated (in circumstances or disposition):–base, cast down, humble, of low degree (estate), lowly.” Its unstated affinity is to the word topos, meaning a specific place or condition. It (topos) speaks of the “place” where the dead body of Christ was laid, and of the “place” the LORD said He was going to prepare for us, both here and now realized.
John 14
1 Let not your heart [minds] be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions [mone – only appearing elsewhere in verse 23 below; humbled people in whom He dwells]: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place [topos] for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place [topos] for you, I will come again [first unknown as the Comforter {Paraclete – parakletos}, to lead into all truth, by which I Am seen again], and receive you unto myself; that where I Am, there you may be also.
4 And whither I go you know [into death and hell, this tribulation from where we are saved and raised to life again], and the way you [now] know [that “I Am the way, the truth {restored}, and the life {again}: no man comes unto the Father, but {those prepared} by me”].
22 Judas [Judah, the elect remnant, the new crop of Godly leaders] says unto him, not Iscariot [not the corrupt leaders who betrayed Him], LORD, how is it that you will manifest [emphanizo] yourself unto us, AND NOT UNTO THE WORLD?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love [agapao – lead away from corruption] me [my dead body], he will keep [tereo – guard and protect] my words [keeping it from corruption]: and my Father will love [agapao] him, and we will come [erchomai – with these necessary utterances] unto him, and make our abode [mone] with him.
24 He that loves [agapao] me not keeps [tereo] 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 – meaning “to stay (in a given place, state, relation or expectancy)”] with you.
26 But the Comforter [Parakletos – the LORD unknown speaking and working], which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name [Jesus – Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh He chooses], he shall teach you all things [of this preparation], and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart [mind] be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Matthews 11
23 And you, Capernaum [the place to which the Comforter has come with these necessary utterances], which are exalted unto heaven [the place where understanding should be found but instead there they exalt their words, corrupted truths, against the LORD’s voice here heard], shall [as foretold] be brought down [by your corrupt word, the waters below] to hell: for if the mighty works [done here by the LORD unknown], which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained [meno] 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 [falsely so-called] wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes [whose minds are able to receive this preparation].
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 All [good] 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 [apokalupto – this apocalypse: uncovering of] him.
28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly [tapeineo] in heart [humble in mind]: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light [elephros].
2 Corinthians 4
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest [phaneroo – made apparent, appearing] 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; [quoted from Psalms 116:10, the verses before saying, “6 The LORD preserves the simple: I was brought low {into death and hell}, and he helped me. 7 Return unto your rest {in the LORD’s peace}, O my soul; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. 8 For you have delivered my soul from death {and hell}, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling {to return to His way}. 9 I will walk before {paniym – in the presence of} the LORD in the land {‘erets – the new earth} of the living.]
14 Knowing that he which raised up the LORD Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh He chooses], and shall present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace [this gift of these treasures] might through the thanksgiving of many [who received them] redound [perisseuo – meaning “to superabound (in quantity or quality), be in excess, be superfluous; also (transitively) to cause to superabound or excel”] to the glory of God [revealed].
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed [is enlarged] day by day.
17 For our light [elephros] affliction [thlipsis – this tribulation], which is but for a moment, works 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 things which are not seen [but are unquestionably apparent]: for the things which are seen [by human eyes] are temporal; but the things which are not seen [by human eyes] are eternal.
2 Corinthians 7
8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle has made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you sorrowed to repentance: for you were made sorry after a godly manner, that you might receive damage by us in nothing.
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 For behold this selfsame thing, that you sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things you have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
13 Therefore we were comforted [parakaleo – led by the LORD into all truth] in your comfort [paraklesis – to through us lead you into all truth]: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus [the enlarged who realize the LORD is present with them, in them], because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembers the obedience [hupakoe] of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him [as the LORD’s presence manifested].
16 I rejoice therefore [realizing He is manifested to you, and is now in you] that I have confidence in you in all things.
2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I, Timothy, myself [with Paul; by the One LORD alive in us] beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence [prosopon – my outward appearance] am base [tapeinos – have been humbled here] among you, but being absent [apeimi – when the LORD reveals Himself present in me] am bold toward you:
2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present [pareimi] 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 [the enemies’] strongholds [on those they possess];)
5 Casting down imaginations [the creations of men’s ignorant minds], and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience [hupakoe – from the words huper and akoe, meaning concerning the things heard] of Christ [His One mind]; [concerning Christ alive in me: Romans 5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience {hupakoe} of one shall many be made righteous.]
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience [hupakoe – concerning the things here heard] is fulfilled.
The three times used word parakoe, above rendered “disobedience,” only appears elsewhere, in context, in Hebrews 2:2.
Can one man filled with the LORD’s Spirit and mind change the world? Is there anything too hard for LORD God of all flesh?
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 [allasso – when death is swallowed up in victory, when the mortal put on immortality, when the corrupt put on incorruption]: 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 [this word as received] for them who shall be heirs of salvation [when death is swallowed by your open mouths giving life]?
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 [parakoe] 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, which is death; 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 raised 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, in the daka’ – humbling, 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 [immortal] 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].
2 Corinthians 10
7 Do you look on things after the outward appearance [prosopon]? if any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he [claims he] is Christ’s, even so are we [truly] Christ’s [who possesses us].
8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the LORD has given us for edification [building up by education], and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed [but will reach the expected and promised end, full understanding with the LORD with us, alive in us, His ONE BODY with One mind]:
9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters [making all aware of the precarious position of the body of Christ that remains dead].
10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence [parousia – in which comes the LORD] is weak, and his speech contemptible.
11 Let such a one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent [apeimi], such will we be also in deed when we are present [pareimi].
12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring [metron – make their own standard, set their own boundaries] themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves [comparing the dead to the dead], are not wise.
13 But we will not boast of things without our measure [ametros – beyond the boundary set by the LORD], but according to the measure [metron – meter, the boundaries, the set standard] of the rule [kanon – the standard] which God has distributed to us, a measure [metron – a meter by which we judge ourselves] to reach [ephikneomai – arrived making new] even unto [archi – the “until” point reached: comprehension and apprehension of] you.
14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond [the measure, the set point] as though we reached [ephikneomai – arrived making new] not unto you: for we are come as far [achri – this terminus] as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
15 Not boasting of things without our measure [ametros – the creation of men’s mind, who haven’t waited for the LORD who increases our understanding by measure], that is, of other men’s labors [upon which they build]; but having hope [in the LORD’s work, upon which we carefully build], when your faith [believing the LORD is with us, in us] is increased, that we shall be enlarged [megaluno – the LORD magnified with us, in us] by you according to our rule [kanon – the LORD’s standard] abundantly,
16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast [commending ourselves] in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand [given to us to be given].
17 But he that glories, let him glory in the LORD [glorifying Him in His work done to and through us].
18 For not he that commends himself is approved, but whom the LORD commends [by revealing Himself present with us, in us].
2 Corinthains 8
1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of [gnorizo – to make you aware of] the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia [where the dead are housed];
2 How that in a great trial of affliction [thlipsis – the great tribulation] the abundance of their joy [realizing the LORD’s presence] and their deep poverty [lacking this understanding] abounded [perisseuo – became super abundant] unto the riches of their liberality [as they gave it abundantly as it was received].
3 For to their power [the word received effectually working in them to change their mind], I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves [by choice they came under the same understanding and changed their minds];
4 Praying us with much entreaty [paraklesis – to join us in the LORD’s work, to lead others into all truth] that we would receive the gift [directly from Him], and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to [edify] the saints.
5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to [join with] the LORD, and [with the same one mind] unto us by the will of God.
6 Insomuch that we desired Titus [them to be enlarged with us], that as he had begun [a good work in us], so he would also finish [epiteleo – make perfect, complete] in you the same grace also.
7 Therefore, as you abound [perisseuo – became super abundant] in every thing, in faith, and [necessary] utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that you abound [perisseuo – became super abundant] in this grace also.
8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9 For you know the grace of our LORD Jesus Christ, that, though he was [in His life] rich [in this grace, yet for your sakes he became [in death] poor [lacking this understanding, the riches of heaven], that you through his poverty might be rich [as He received it again and freely gave to all those predestine to join Him here and now].
10 And herein I give my advice [gnome – cognition, what I learned]: for this is expedient [sumphero – to reach together] for you, who have begun before [in this good work], not only [fulfilling Your obedience] to do, but [to complete it] also to be forward [thelesis – as you determined to] a year ago.
11 Now therefore perform [epiteleo – to accomplish, finish] the doing of it; that as there was a readiness [prothumia – of mind] to will [thelesis – prepared for what you determine to accomplish], so there may be a performance [epiteleo] also out of that which you have [received].
12 For if there be first a willing mind [prothumia – a prepared mind], it is accepted [euprosdektos – good unto acceptance] according to that a man has [received from the LORD], and not according to that he has not [received from Him but from men].
13 For I mean not that other men be eased [from the work the LORD has given us], and you burdened:
14 But by an equality, that now at this [acceptable] time your abundance [received from the LORD] may be a supply for their want [lack of these necessary utterances in which the LORD presence is manifested], that their abundance also may be a supply for your want [to enlarge the living Body of Christ]: that there may be equality [of ONE mind]:
15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack. [This speaks of the manna {meaning they knew not what it was}, the word from the mouth of the LORD, by which man lives, speaking of it here given in great abundance, and men were to eat as much or as little as they wanted.]
16 But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus [those whose minds were first enlarged] for you.
17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation [paraklesis – the LORD unknown in them leading into all truth]; but being more forward [enlightened before], of his own accord [by choice following the LORD’s commandment] he went [exerchomai – through these necessary utterances] unto you.
18 And we have sent with him the brother [Timothy, the brother mentioned in 2 Corinthians 1:1], whose praise is in the gospel throughout [the good news sent to] all the churches;
19 And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same LORD, and declaration of your ready mind [prepared in this way by the LORD to join Him]:
20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the LORD, but also in the sight of men.
22 And we have sent with them our brother [Timothy], whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
23 Whether any do enquire of Titus [those enlarged, awakened from death and enlightened as the first fruits of the Spirit], he is my partner and fellow-helper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
24 Wherefore show you to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love [agape – ago apo; leading away from death and hell], and of our boasting on your behalf.
The word dektos, above in 2 Corinthians 6:2 speaking of the acceptable time when the LORD hears us speaking His word as received, also used in the word euprosdektos above, is a five times used word that tells of things accepted by the LORD and not accepted by the world (that will forever be blinded to Him).
Luke 4
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book [that was before Him sealed], he found the place [Isaiah 61:1 & 2] where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted [those whose minds are broken], to preach deliverance to the captives [possessed by devils among them], and recovering of sight to the blind [unable to see the LORD veiled in flesh], to set at liberty them that are bruised [by the violence of deception],
19 To preach the acceptable [dektos] year of the [present] LORD.
20 And he closed the book [and it was sealed again], and he gave it again to the minister [to keep it from corruption], and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day [time when light has come] is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?
23 And he said unto them, You will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal yourself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum [the place of the Comforter: the LORD unknown with us speaking and working], do also here in your country.
24 And he said, Truly I say unto you, No prophet is accepted [dektos] in his own country.
Acts 10
34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted [dektos] with him.
36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is LORD of all:)
37 That word, I say, you know, which was published throughout all Judaea [Judah – all the leaders of God’s people], and began from Galilee [His inner circle], after the baptism [going below the surface of the written word] which John preached [which is repentance, washing away corruption];
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil [misleaders mixed among God’s people]; for God was with him [in him].
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews [Judah], and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;
41 Not to all the people [of the world, as in John 14 above], but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick [zao – the living] and dead.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believe in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter yet spoke these words, the Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown speaking and working] fell on [epipipto – seized, came down from heaven, as the waters from above, to effectually work to change the minds of] all them which heard the word [as Him and His].
Philippians 4
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on [logizomai – communicate, in this same kind of conversation] these things.
9 [Repeat] Those things, which you have both learned, and received, and heard [as the LORD’s voice], and seen [as Him] in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with [meta – “amid,” in] you.
10 But I rejoiced [now realizing the LORD is present with you, in you] in the LORD greatly, that now at the last [pote] your care [phroneo – like mind, understanding the same things] of [huper – under the teaching of] me has flourished again; wherein you were also careful [phroneo – like minded to teach the same things], but you lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want [to hear your voices speaking these same things]: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased [tapeinos – humbled, in need of hearing the word of the LORD repeated], and I know how to abound [perisseuo – be super abundant]: every where and in all things I am instructed [by the LORD’s word] both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound [perisseuo – to be super abundant] and to suffer need [to always hear the LORD speaking].
13 I can do all things through Christ which [in this way] strengthens me.
14 Notwithstanding you have well done, that you did communicate [the encouragement of the LORD] with my affliction [thlipsis – in this tribulation].
15 Now you Philippians [you who have loved as the LORD commanded and thereby rise above the crowd with Him] know also, that in the beginning of the [teaching of this] gospel, when I departed from Macedonia [came out from among the churches where the dead are housed, leaving behind their corrupted doctrines], no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving [this word of the LORD], but you only.
16 For even in Thessalonica [when we were victorious over falsehood] you sent [your conversation] once and again unto my necessity [speaking these same utterances].
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit [of the Spirit] that may abound [pleonazo – increase] to your account [logos – the words you speak on this topic, the LORD giving more to those who give it as received].
18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus [those who have loved me in this way] the things which were sent from you, an odor of a sweet smell [in which we perceive the LORD’s presence], a sacrifice acceptable [dektos], well-pleasing to God.
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh He chooses].
1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore laying aside all malice [kakia], and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking,
2 As newborn babes, [as little children] desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow [into men] thereby:
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 [eklektos – an elect remnant] of God, and precious,
5 You also, as lively stones [from whom His word must flow], are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable [euprosdektos] to God by Jesus Christ [manifesting Himself alive in us when we obey the Father and speak His word].
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect [eklektos – an elect remnant], precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded [but shall come to full understanding].
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient [and refuse to speak as commanded], 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 [eklektos] generation [an eclectic elect remnant], a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called [kaleo] you out of darkness [ignorance] into his marvelous [eye-opening] light [understanding];
10 Which in time past were not a people, but [from many diverse backgrounds] are now the people [Israel – Yisar’el] of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy [in this conversation with Him at His mercy seat]. [It can’t be overlooked that the name Israel has an intended affinity to yashar ‘el, meaning made straight by, and pleasing to, God; as in doing His will; Isaiah 40:3, the passage saying, 1 Comfort you {nacham – lead into all truth}, comfort you my people {nacho}, says your God. 2 Speak you comfortably {leading into all truth} to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she has received of the LORD’s hand double for all her sins. 3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the LORD, make straight {yashar} 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 {miyshown – mah yashar; meaning what or this pleases the LORD}, 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 {and thereby made it apparent}.]
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims [traveling through time and generations to this destination], abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the [immortal] soul;
12 Having your conversation [with the LORD, and speaking His word as received] honest among the Gentiles [all who haven’t known Him, even His people now blinded to His ever presence by their learned ignorance]: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers [as the ignorant now do], they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation [episkope – when He has come, become apparent, now realized, as the Chief Overseer of the earth].
The final time the word tapeinos appears is in 1 Peter 5:5, as we’re told His coming, with this grace, is to those who clothe themselves in humility under Him who appears as the Chief Shepherd and Chief Overseer (episkope).
The chapter begin with the LORD, through Peter, speaking to the “elders,” from the word presbuteros, from the twice used words presbeuo, rendered “ambassadors” in 2 Corinthians 5:20 above, and “ambassador” in Ephesians 6:20 below, both speaking of boldly speaking and declaring the LORD manifested in this position, and the word tereo, rendered “keep” in John 14:21, 23, & 24, speaking of those to whom He will appear, and not to the world, speaking of those who haven’t done it (who haven’t loved and kept His word from corruption).
The “elders” are those first enlightened (messengers who faithfully keep His word), in whom the LORD lives, because they love (agape – receive it as Him and His, and give it boldly, declaring it is) and keep it (tereo – guard and protect it from the now generational corruption in the hands of those who abandoned their charge to do so).
1 Peter 5
1 The elders [presbuteros] which are among you I exhort [parakaleo – call to join me in awakening to this understanding], who am also an elder [sumpresbuteros], and a witness of the [long] sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed [apokalupto – uncovered in this apocalypse]:
2 Feed [with this word, manna unknown to be from His mouth] the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight [episkopeo – as the chief overseer in the LORD’s name: identity] thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre [not for personal gain], but of a ready mind [prepared by the LORD Himself];
3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage [His children who receive Him], but being examples to the flock.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear [phaneroo – becomes again apparent], you shall receive a crown of glory that fade not away.
5 Likewise, you younger [neos – new to this enlightenment], submit [hupotasso] yourselves unto the elder [presbuteros]. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility [tapeinophrosune – humbled together with us]: for God resists the proud [who exalt themselves and their words, corrupt opinions they falsely-so call truth, above the LORD], and gives grace [this gift, these treasures of heaven, this priceless understanding] to the humble [tapeinos].
6 Humble [tapeinoo] yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you.
8 Be sober [in this right mind], be vigilant; because your adversary the devil [the misleaders who put themselves in His place], as a roaring lion [falsely claiming they are speaking His word], walketh about, seeking whom he may devour [take away the life from and swallow into the belly of hell, the belly of the earth]:
9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith [that the LORD is always present with us, in us], knowing that the same afflictions [pathema – the touch, influence, of those spoken of in the previous verse] are accomplished [epiteleo – are ended] in your brethren [who resist these devils] that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace [that has here and now become super abundant], who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered [this affliction] a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To him be glory and dominion [kratos – over our minds] forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 6
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the LORD [kurios – alive in our flesh], and in the power [kratos – over our minds] of his might [in His word, giving understanding which effectually works in us, to form His same mind, a good conscience {co-perspective} in us].
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles [methodeia – methods] of the devil [the misleaders who put themselves in His place].
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness [ignorance and its resulting confusion, delusion, and now finally mass insanity] of this world, against spiritual wickedness [poneria] in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand [rising to life in the resurrection].
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about [prepared with these signs of life] with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel [this word] of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith [knowing the LORD is always with us, in us], wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts [evil words thrown through the air] of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation [the protection of your minds], and the sword of the Spirit, which is the [good] word of God:
18 Praying [proseuchomai – putting forward {pros} these good {eu} necessary utterances {chomai}] always with all prayer [proseuche] and supplication [deesis – in this conversation supplying what is needed] in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance [long-suffering] and supplication [deesis] for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance [logos – the word of God] may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly [as commanded speaking His word and declaring it is His presence with us, in us], to make known the mystery [musterion – meaning “from a derivative of muo (to shut the mouth); a secret or “mystery” (through the idea of silence imposed by initiation into religious rites),” not heard among this generation until here and now] of the gospel [which is Christ truly in us],
20 For which I am an ambassador [presbeuo] in bonds [joined together with the LORD in His work]: that therein I may speak boldly [outspokenly of His presence and plan to gather us into His ONE BODY], as I ought to speak.
Psalms 116
1 I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications [sending this salvation, as requested, heard here repeated as received].
2 Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell [sh’owl – sheol] gat hold upon me: I found trouble [tsarah – tribulation] and sorrow [here in death and hell].
4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech you, deliver [malat – rescue, release from the possession of death and hell] my soul.
5 Gracious [giving us this gift of salvation] is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 The LORD preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 Return unto your rest [manowach – what rest, what Noah? The answer:], O my soul; for the LORD has dealt bountifully [gamal – rewarded, as a child weaned from childish things] with you.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling [this refers to the rest, and finding its place in the expected end].
9 I will walk before [paniym – in the presence of] the LORD in the land [‘erets – new earth] of the living.
10 I believed [You here brought me from death into life and are risen in me], therefore have I spoken: [for declaring this] I was greatly afflicted:
11 I said in my haste, All men [except the very elect remnant] are liars [because none believe you have come to life in us, at Your will].
12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name [identity] of the LORD [with me and alive in me giving me life].
14 I will pay my vows unto [declaring Your identity, Your presence with me and in me] the LORD [who is] now in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints [showing Your love and mercy, in long-suffering our rejection, to bring us from death into life].
16 O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have loosed my bonds [set me at liberty, sent me on this mission, as Your man of war, fighting this good fight, a charge I have, in Your strength, kept].
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows [keep the charge, as I have vowed I would, in the oath I have sworn] unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
19 In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of you [in our flesh], O [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [His people present with Him, in Him, and He in us]. Praise you the LORD.
