And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
The above, John 3:19, speaks of the separation, the result of the LORD’s (now) judgment, when the Son of Man is lifted up and with Him the Father’s voice is exalted above all other voices (a state that does not yet exist; instead, prominent men, right, left, and center, sitting in the LORD’s place over church and state, continue to speak their own ways and ideas while refusing Him and His).
The verse comes after He (the LORD speaking of Himself in the third person) tells of the Father not sending Him to condemn the world but to save it. The saving is from itself, from following bad advice and corrupt teaching, from a conversation from which He is excluded. In His place, men choose man’s darkness, a decision by which the condemnation comes.
As we’ve often discussed, the word rendered “condemnation” is krisis, meaning “decision (subjectively or objectively, for or against); by extension, a tribunal; by implication, justice (especially, divine law).” It speaks of this judgment, which now confronts man with the choice of who will rule: first (metaphysically) in their minds, and then (physically) in the world, either choosing to remain in the old and corrupt heaven and earth, now become hell itself, or to enter the new heaven and earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
The word rendered “loved” is agapao, from ago and apo, words meaning “lead” and “away.” As we also have learned, it (agapao) describes Christian charity, freely giving these necessary utterances, and thereby leading men away from the darkness (ignorance and death) into the light (understanding and life).
The word rendered “is come” is erchomai, which we know, like the LORD’s “coming,” tells of it being through (ereo) “to utter, i.e. speak or say” (chraomia) “to furnish what is needed; (give an oracle, “graze” (touch slightly), light upon, etc.), i.e. (by implication) to employ or (by extension) to act towards one in a given manner.”
In these meanings, we see the verse says the condemnation is this judgment come, when understanding has come in these needed words, and men, instead (led away from the light), choose to remain in ignorance; the same evil that denies the LORD is present with us, in us.
In this verse is the first use of the word krisis, by John, recording the LORD speaking of the decision point at which men are either saved or condemned. The next five uses come in John 5, all describing how the decision point comes.
John 5
19 Then answered Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh He chooses] and said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father [Jehovah] do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he [the Father] will show him [the son he declares in] greater [meizon] works than these, that you may marvel [thaumazo – alluding to theios humas; meaning they, without Him, are trying to understanding things only the Godhead knows, which are only knowable by receiving Him].
21 For as the Father raises up the dead [out of hell into heaven, full understanding, which is life], and quickens them [from death into life]; even so the Son quicken [from death into life] whom he will.
22 For the Father judges [krino] no man, but has committed all judgment [krisis] unto the Son:
23 That all men should honor [Timao] the Son, even as they honor [Timao] the Father. He that honors [Timao] not the Son honors [Timao] not the Father which has sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him [that the words are His] that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation [krisis – because they have made the good decision]; but is passed from [metabaino – departed from] death unto life.
25 Truly, truly, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear [the Father’s voice] shall live.
26 For as the Father has life [full understanding, light] in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life [full understanding, light] in himself;
27 And has given him authority to execute judgment [krisis – bring this decision point, in which men must choose life or death] also, because he is the Son of man [the Father making His presence known in the flesh He has chosen].
28 Marvel [thaumazo – trying to understand what you are experiencing, without hearing it from Him] not at this: for the hour is coming [erchomai – through the utterance of these needed things that we were without], in the which all that are in the graves [in hell, the belly of the earth] shall hear his voice [from the flesh He has first raised],
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good [agathos – leading as God leads], unto the resurrection [anastasis – standing up again in the flesh] of life [that comes by receiving the present LORD and His understanding: light]; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection [anastasis – standing again in the flesh] of damnation [krisis – rejecting Him, choosing to remain dead in hell].
30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear [the voice of the Father], I judge [krino]: and my judgment [krisis – offering life to all who choose it] is just [dikaios – is self-evidently equal and right: shined upon all]; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me [whose will is that none would perish, but rather that all would come to repentance: and receive the life He offers].
31 If I bear witness of [martureo – if I sacrifice myself to declare] myself, my witness [marturia] is not true.
32 There is another [allos – as in allasso; a changer] that bears witness [martureo] of me; and I know that the witness [martureo] which he witnesseth [marturia] of me is true.
33 You sent [apostello] unto [separated yourselves, from corruption, to] John, and he bare witness [martureo] unto [martyred himself to deliver] the truth [calling all to repentance, because this light, the living word of God, is in the world and men are unable to receive it without receiving Him at His appearing and kingdom come].
34 But I receive[d] not [this] testimony from man: but these things [from the Father who is with me, in me] I say [for whom I necessarily lay down my life, to declare Him present with me, alive in me], that you might be saved.
35 He [the dove, Jonah, John, the sign of the end reached] was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 But I [Timothy] have greater [meizon – as in verse 20 above] witness [marturia] than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish [teleioo – to complete], the same works that I do, bear witness [martureo] of me, that the Father has sent me.
37 And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness [matureo] of me [in me long-suffering to declare His presence]. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And you [not receiving His word as His presence] have not his word abiding in you [which is understanding, light, and life]: for whom he has sent, him you believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they [by] which [the Father does] testify of me.
40 And you will not come to [erchomai – through this utterance of necessary things heard from] me, that you might have life.
41 I receive not honor [doxa – the glory that is apparent, which is not the corrupt opinions] from men.
42 But I know you, that you have not the love [agape] of God in you [because you neither receive this word as His, nor give it as received].
43 I Am come in my Father’s name [His identity manifested in me, whom I declare present], and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
44 How can you believe, which receive honor [doxa – opinions by which you glorify] one of another, and seek not the honor [doxa – this glory that declares Him alone] that comes from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust.
46 For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?
The above mention of Moses writing of the coming of the son of man (the flesh in whom the Father has chosen to reveal Himself present), refers us first to the below passages from Deuteronomy 17 and 18. They speak of the LORD again appearing in the place of His choosing, as judge, priest, king, and prophet, against the proud, who, assuming they know Him, reject Him because He doesn’t agree with their presumptions.
Deuteronomy 17
2 And the man that will do presumptuously [zadown – arrogantly assuming things that aren’t true], and will not hearken [shama’ – and obey] unto the priest [here and now in the order of Melchisedek, risen outside the corrupt order] that stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or unto the judge [shaphat – the one pronouncing this sentence, separating men based on their choice of light or darkness: life or death], even that man shall die: and you shall put away the evil from Israel [those who receive the LORD and His corrective change].
13 And all the people shall hear [shama’ – and obey], and fear, and do no more presumptuously [zuwd – insolent, refusing to honor the LORD].
14 When you are come unto the land [‘erets – this new earth] which the LORD your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell therein, and shall say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
15 You shall in any wise set him king over you, whom the LORD your God shall choose: one from among your brethren shall you set king over you: you mayest not set a stranger over you, which is not your brother [with the same One Father, who has corrected us into His family].
16 But he shall not multiply horses [worldly strength] to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt [Mitsrayim – the double strait, oppression under the totally corrupt institutions of church and state], to the end that [by oppression] he should multiply horses [worldly strength and power]: forasmuch as the LORD has said unto you, You shall henceforth return no more that way.
17 Neither shall he multiply wives [with itching ears, wanting to hear only smooth things that make them feel good] to himself, that his heart [mind] turn not away [from the LORD’s way to strange ways]: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold [worldly treasure].
18 And it shall be, when he sits upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write [like here and now] him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before [paniym – thereby manifesting the LORD’s presence to] the priests the Levites:
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
20 That his heart [mind] be not lifted up [with presumptuous pride] above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end [with the intention] that he may prolong his days [this time of light] in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel [those who’ve received the LORD].
Ezekiel 7
1 Moreover, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Also, you son of man, thus says the LORD GOD unto the land of Israel [‘adamah – this generation that becomes the first of His new creation]; An end [qets – of the old], the end [qets] is come upon the four corners of the land [‘erets – the earth].
3 Now is the end [qets] come upon you, and I will send my anger upon you, and will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense upon you all your abominations [men’s creations put in the place of the holy].
4 And my eye [seeing all this evil] shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations [men’s creations] shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am the LORD.
5 Thus says the LORD GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
6 An end [qets] is come, the end [qets] is come: it watches [quwts – awakens] for you; behold, it is come.
7 The morning [tsphiyrah – the crown, the crowning of the LORD’s chosen, the man of God, as was David] is come unto you, O you that dwells in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
8 Now will I shortly [in this word] pour out my fury upon you, and accomplish my anger upon you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations.
9 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense you according to your ways and your abominations that are in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the LORD that [with this word] smites.
10 Behold the day [see that this is the time of the LORD’s light come], behold, it is come: the morning [tsphiyrah – the crowning] is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride [zadown – of the presumptuous] has budded [making apparent their errors].
11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time is come, the day draws [naga’ – when the LORD, by His light come, joins with His people, in ONE BODY] near: let not the buyer rejoice [glorying in the words of delusion they have heard and believed], nor the seller mourn [being disappointed when their the words by which they make their living are proven to be presumptuous false divinations, even denying the reality of His presence manifested]: for wrath [this word they reject] is upon all the multitude thereof.
13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return [to the old and corrupt churches that led them here, not to the same old preaching and teaching of men’s creation]; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14 They have blown the trumpet [now calling all to gather to their dead churches], even to make all ready; but none goes to the battle [to which the LORD is calling us]: for my wrath [this word from My mouth] is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 The sword is without [this word they reject, outside the dead churches], and the pestilence and the famine within [the dis-ease in these churches, that results without this word of God]: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
25 Destruction [qphadah – only used here, meaning the “shrinking,” from many into ONE, by cutting off the many evil opinions] comes; and they shall seek peace [in their same old corrupt words and ways], and there shall be none.
26 Mischief [hovah – only used three times, as in Jehovah, speaking of His {Yahh – to whom it appertains} bringing these men’s words upon them, judging them by them] shall come upon mischief [hovah], and rumor [shmuw’ah – the LORD’s voice heard teaching sound doctrine, and reporting truth] shall be upon rumor [shmuw’ah – line upon line, precept upon precept, teaching and reporting that isn’t believed, and the man of God reporting it is still unknown – because of the lies and misleading of those who’ve blinded the world]; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. [Isaiah 47:11 Therefore shall evil come upon you; you shall not know from whence it rises: and mischief {hovah} shall fall upon you; you shall not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon you suddenly {pith’own}, which you shall not know.]
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth] shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge [shaphat – pronounce this sentence to] them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Deuteronomy 18
9 When you are come into the land [’erets – this new earth] which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations [the creations those who don’t know the LORD created, put in His place, and call by His name].
10 There shall not be found among you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through [‘abar – teaching them that the way from death into life are in the abominations they put in His place] the fire [of all the following, mentioning people who use their evil words and ways to deceive, manipulate, and control the masses], or that uses [false] divination [they predict thousands of things and when a few come true they call themselves prophets], or an observer of times [seeing self-created delusions, saying the time is other than now], or an enchanter [nachash – using their words as spells concocted to manipulate and control people into doing their evil will – as we see is the strategic policy of the communists and all mass media: all the prominent voices], or a witch [sorcerers using these methods].
11 Or a charmer [using flattery to achieve the same evil ends], or a consulter with familiar spirits [who are the known dead giving advice known to be the way into death and hell], or a wizard [claiming to be experts, while expressing agenda-driven opinions], or a necromancer [any who have intercourse, interaction, with the dead].
12 For all that do these things are an abomination [putting themselves in the LORD’s place, which are detestable] unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you [paniym – by His presence manifested with you, in you].
13 You shall be perfect [complete by receiving His mind] with the LORD your God.
14 For these nations [who refuse to know the LORD], which you shall possess, hearkened [shama’ – heard as their gods, and were obedient] unto observers of times [saying this is the time of material man and not the day, time of light, of the LORD], and unto diviners [falsely telling them they see the way forward]: but as for you, the LORD your God has not suffered you so to do [commanding us to come out from among them and be holy: purged of the corruption of these evil men in power, who possess the weak-minded and ignorant].
15 The LORD your God will raise up unto you a Prophet from the midst of you [outside these corrupt institution and the misleading men therein], of your brethren [having the same One Father], like unto me [Moses – one who will lead you out of the double strait you are in: the oppression from the institutions of church and state, which are Jocob’s troubles {tsarah}, the tribulation in these last days of darkness]; unto him you shall hearken [shama’ – you will hear and obey his voice as the voice of Jehovah, as it is];
16 According to all that you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb [in this time of desolation and tribulation] in the day [this time of light returned: which is understanding and life] of the assembly [the gathering into His ONE BODY], saying, Let me not hear [and refuse] again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire [against the fires of hell] any more, that I die not.
17 And the LORD said unto me, “They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you [Moses – drawn out of the waters below, the words that produce death and hell], and will put my [pure and uncorrupted] words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them [as received] all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto [shama’ – hear and obey his words as] my words which he shall speak in my name [manifesting My identity], I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume [zuwd] to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name [manifesting the identity] of other gods [whose words they exalt above My words], even that prophet shall die.
21 And if you say in your heart [minds], How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow [hayah] not [is not understood or realized, comes not into being by seeing what was before unseen], nor come to pass, that is the thing [dabar – words about a matter, concerning the ‘abar, the passing over from death into life] which the LORD has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously [zadown – in pride, arrogantly speaking untrue opinions as if they are true, saying I said, or their false gods said]: you shall not be afraid of him.”
Proverbs 11
1 A false balance [corrupt judgment] is [an] abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
2 When pride [zadown – presumptuously declaring true things that aren’t] comes, then comes shame [the disappointment that comes when untrue things are realized to be so]: but with the lowly [tsana’ – only appearing elsewhere in Micah 6:8, meaning the opposite of pride: humble and contrite] is wisdom.
3 The integrity [wisdom that knows that admitting error is a necessity] of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness [the continual twisting and perverting of truth] of transgressors [intended to thereby hide their lies and falsehood with more of their same language: deception] shall destroy them.
4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath [when this word comes as the light of a new day]: but righteousness [giving this word, the treasures of heaven] deliver from death.
5 The righteousness of the perfect [those completed by the LORD’s work] shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright [choosing good] shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness [havvah – thing that necessarily come into being, by the law of consequences, the sentence carried out].
7 When a wicked man dies, his expectation [the evil he hoped to achieve] shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perish.
8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble [tsarah – tribulation], and the wicked comes in his stead.
9 An hypocrite [the wicked who comes to those remaining in tribulation after the righteous have been delivered out of it] with his mouth destroys his neighbor: but through knowledge shall the just [tsiddiyq – the law abiding] be delivered.
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices: and when the wicked perish [‘abad – wander away; separated from the righteous into their self-created calamity], there is shouting [rinnah – this is the LORD’s word heard repeated as received, which is as a trap set and sprung, from which they cannot escape]. [2 Chronicles 20:22 And when they began to sing {rinnah} and to praise, the LORD set ambushments {‘arab} against the children of Ammon {those who exalt their voices above the LORD’s}, Moab {those whose mouths are the gates of hell}, and mount Seir {the seats of power possessed by devils: enemies mixed among us, who claim we are at peace while they openly war against us}, which were come against Judah {the elect remnant}; and they were smitten.]
Jeremiah 51
6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon [the confusion that now rules over all the world, which has resulted in the mass insanity of all those who don’t now know the present LORD], and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence [her just reward].
7 Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations [all who haven’t known the LORD, who choose their delusions over the reality of His presence] have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad [insane].
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed [by receiving the love of the truth, healing their disordered minds].
9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed [instead choosing to remain in the darkness, because her deeds are evil]: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country [‘erets – choosing to remain in the old and corrupt earth, or enter the new earth wherein dwells righteousness]: for her judgment reaches unto [the new] heaven [has become the only place where understanding is found], and is lifted up even to the skies [caught up into the air, meaning it is a state not seen, where spirits move as voices heard, known only by their effect on things they touch; here speaking of the LORD’s Spirit bringing the promised and expected end].
10 The LORD [His unseen presence] has brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare [caphar – mark ourselves as possessed by Him, by His writing] in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
11 Make bright the arrows [make known His light]; gather the shields [by which we are protected from the darkness found in men’s words]: the LORD has raised up [‘uwr – awakened to this decision point] the spirit of the kings of the Medes [the middle, not the far right or left]: for his device is [mzimmah – from zamam, this is the ambush] against Babylon [the confusion that now rules the world], to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple [His people in whose minds He dwells].
12 Set up the standard [nec – the pole upon which the son of many must be lifted up, so that the salvation of the LORD heard from him is exalted above all the voice of confusion, caused by false prophesy and false teaching, presumptuous opinions called truth] upon the walls [of lies upon lies, falsehood upon falsehood] of Babylon [the now mass insanity that is obvious to the sane], make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes [‘arab – the trap readied]: for the LORD has both devised [zamam – has planned] and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 O you that dwell upon many waters [countless words of confusion, recklessly giving misleading advice], abundant in [worldly] treasures [by which you have risen to prominence], your end [qets] is come, and the measure of your covetousness [bertsa’ – plunder, gain by violence].
14 The LORD of hosts has sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill you with men, as with caterpillars [that shall devour you all you have gained by violence, your war against order and understanding]; and they shall lift up a shout [haydad – this declaration of the LORD’s vengeance] against you.
15 He has [again] made the earth by his power [to enlighten men’s minds], he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out [in this firmament, this exposition He has declared is] the [new] heaven by his understanding.
16 When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters [His word] in the heavens; and he causes the vapors [the separated element of understanding] to ascend [from earth into the cloud where is His throne] from the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new]: he makes lightnings with rain [sending from the could His word with understanding], and bringeth forth the wind [His Spirit moving unknown and unseen] out of his [heavenly] treasures.
17 [And when we are enlightened we realize that] Every man is brutish [ba’ar – kindles the fires in which they themselves are consumed] by his [falsely so-called] knowledge; every founder [tsaraph – the refiners who should be removing corruption] is confounded [yabesh – ashamed, confused, and disappointed] by the graven image [the creations of their own minds]: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath [life] in them.
18 They are vanity [worthless words], the work of errors: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – when the LORD appears as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall perish [‘abad – wander away, be separated, like cattle from cattle, from those who refuse evil and choose good].
Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD.
2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited [paqad – the same as pquddah] them: behold, I will visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] upon you the evil of your doings, says the LORD.
3 And I will gather the [elect] remnant [first] of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase [gather, awaken, the multitude into My ONE BODY].
4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them [this good word, as manna from My mouth, by which man lives]: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking [paqad – without a Chief Overseer], says the LORD.
5 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch [tsemach], and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah [the elect remnant first awakened from death’s sleep] shall be saved, and Israel [the multitude of God’s people at large] shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he [our identity in the new heaven and earth] shall be called, The LORD Our Righteousness.
The word tsedeq (as in Melchisedek, meaning king of righteousness), above rendered “Righteousness,” speaking of the LORD’s presence in us after He has written Himself into our minds, is also spoken of in the next use of the word, in Jeremiah 31:23.
Jeremiah 31
17 And there is hope [tiqvah – expectation] in your end [‘achariyth – this end now come], says the LORD, that your children shall come again to their own border [gbuwl – the beginning of this promised land: this new earth].
18 I have surely heard Ephraim [Joseph’s seed, taught by his mother Rachel] bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised [corrected; as in Hebrews 12:6, into becoming His children] me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke [unaccustomed to being joined with the LORD in His family: His ONE BODY]: turn you me [back to Yourself by Your correction], and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented [leaving behind childish things, and becoming man: the first generation of Your new creation]; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, says the LORD.
21 Set you up waymarks, make you high heaps: set your heart toward the highway [to your return to Me], even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin [refusing all the men who’ve led you away from the LORD God] of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
22 How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman [all God’s people at large, as in Genesis 37:7, Joseph’s dream, when he sees himself rising first and then all God’s people becoming obedient to him as their king, for which telling of it they hated him] shall compass [cabab – showing differential respect to] a man.
23 Thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war], the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless you [with this second blessing, overflowing the ruin of Ephraim, who has become], O habitation of justice [tsedeq], and mountain of holiness.
24 And there shall dwell in Judah [this place the LORD has given to the elect remnant] itself, and in all the cities thereof together, and they that go forth with flocks [leading them by My righteousness manifested in them].
25 For I have [with these treasures] satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
26 Upon this I awaked [from the deep sleep], and beheld [ra’ah – I saw as the LORD sees]; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
27 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up [nathash], and to break down [nathats], and to throw down [harac], and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, says the LORD.
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge [qahah].
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eats the sour grape [the corrupt fruit from corrupt men], his teeth shall be set on edge [qahah].
31 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah [when I save My people from the consequences of the degenerative ignorance that consumed them and brought death upon all humanity]:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they break, although I was a husband unto them, says the LORD:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those [‘achar – in these last] days, says the LORD, [by this instruction] I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts [minds]; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
35 Thus says the LORD, which gives the sun [the church] for a light [to give this understanding] by day [when it comes to them first], and the ordinances of the moon [just civil government] and of the stars [My enlightened people] for a light by night [to act, governing self, showing they have this understanding], which divides the sea [revealing the heart, minds, of men] when the waves [of proud men] thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [a man of war] is his name:
36 If those ordinances depart from before me [paniym – if My presence isn’t manifested in this manner], says the LORD, then the seed of Israel [those who receive Me and this promised end] also shall cease from being [shall become] a nation [qowy – ignorant of ME and MY manner] before me [paniym – manifesting My presence with them, in them] forever.
Jeremiah 23
11 For both prophet and priest are profane [speaking against Me and My manner]; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, says the LORD.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness [in their own ignorance]: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation [pquddah – the same as paqad, when the LORD manifests His presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth], says the LORD.
16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart [their own imaginations, presuming and declaring their evil opinions are truth], and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17 They [the wicked misleaders] say still unto them that despise me, The LORD has said, You shall have peace [when I have told them there is no peace for the wicked or those following them]; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart [minds], No evil shall come upon you.
18 For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD, and has perceived and heard his word? who has marked his word [speaking them showing they are possessed by Him], and heard it [this voice as His, as it is]?
19 Behold, a whirlwind [from where His voice is heard] of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has executed, and till he has performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness; this after life now come] you shall consider it perfectly.
21 I have not sent these [presumptuous] prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear [shama’ – and obey] my words, then they would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23 Am I a God at hand [garowb – always near], says the LORD, and not a God afar off [rachowq – in these last days, now when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power]?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? says the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? says the LORD.
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name [identity and manner] by their dreams [the creations of their sleeping minds] which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal [the gods of this world, men who’ve put themselves in the LORD’s place].
28 The prophet that has a dream, let him tell a dream [and it shall be as chaff blown away by the wind]; and he that has my word, let him speak my word faithfully [for it is the wheat that shall remain]. What is the chaff to the wheat? says the LORD.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? says the LORD; and like a hammer that breaks the rock [the false Christs, in whose words men put their trust] in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that steal my words [this word] every one from his neighbor [refusing to give it as received].
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He says [when He hasn’t said anything to them, and their words mock and resist His truth].
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, says the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness [things they say they understand, while saying this word is a worthless burden]; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says the LORD.
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? you shall then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, says the LORD. [Matthew 11: 28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden {with these wicked men’s lies}, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.]
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish [paqad – appear as the Chief Overseer of the earth, as wind against] that man and his house.
35 Thus shall you say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What has the LORD answered? and, What has the LORD spoken?
36 And the burden of the LORD shall you mention no more: for every man’s word [all their presumptuous opinions they call truth] shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God [who is I Am, a man of war].
Proverbs 11
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 He that is void of wisdom despises his neighbor: but a man of understanding holds his peace [not speaking false opinions that mislead their neighbor away from the LORD’s truth here alone heard as my still small voice, His voice not yet exalted above all other voices].
13 A talebearer [halak rakiyl – walking with slander] reveals [galah – makes naked] secrets [cowd – a conspiracy]: but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals [kacah – clothes, keeps covered] the matter [dabar – not repeating the words of the slanderer].
14 Where no counsel [of the LORD] is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors [speaking this same word of the LORD] there is safety.
15 He that is surety for [‘arab – does business with, as in buying and selling] a stranger [zuwr – one who has turned away from truth] shall smart for it [ra’ – is in business with evil]: and he that hates suretiship [taqa’ – joining with evil in this way] is sure [batach – is a refuge, trustworthy].
16 A gracious woman [a faithful church giving the word as received, this treasure of the word of God] retains honor: and strong men retain riches [the treasures He has received from the LORD, which are His strength].
17 The merciful man does good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubles his own flesh.
18 The wicked work a deceitful work: but to him that sows righteousness shall be a sure reward.
19 As righteousness tend to life: so he that pursues evil pursues it to his own death.
20 They that are of a froward heart [minds that twist and pervert truth] are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
21 Though [evildoers and misleaders] hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered [malat – escape the evildoers and misleaders].
22 As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion [perception, intelligence].
23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24 There is that scatters [evildoers and misleaders], and yet increases [those who’ve escaped them]; and there is that withholds [this word of the LORD] more than is meet [yosher – than is right], but it tends to poverty [machcowr – leaving those without it deficient, lacking these necessary utterances].
25 The liberal soul [freely giving this word as received] shall be made fat [nashem – shall be anointed sufficiently]: and he that waters [gives this word] shall be watered also himself.
26 He that withholds corn [bar – this good seed], the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that sells it [shabar – deals in this good seed].
27 He that diligently seeks good procures favor: but he that seeks mischief [ra’ – evil], it shall come unto him.
28 He that trusts in his [worldly] riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch [‘aleh – for ‘alah, meaning to ascend, grow up into the tree of life].
29 He that troubles [‘akar – mires the waters of] his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool [despising wisdom and righteousness] shall be servant to the wise of heart [mind].
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that wins [laqach – rescues, pulls from the fires] souls is wise.
31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed [given a just reward] in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
Jeremiah 33
15 In those days [speaking of the healing, renewal, and rescue], and at that time [now], will I cause the Branch [tsemach] of righteousness to grow up [tsamach] unto David [the one telling {manah} them of their fallen condition, who is sent to heal them]; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land [‘erets – the earth].
16 In those days shall Judah [the elect remnant outside the current corrupt institutions of church and state government] be saved [first], and Jerusalem [God’s people into whom His peace has flowed, teaching by which we receive Him and His correction] shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she [New Heaven Jerusalem, known by the appellative Israel] shall be called, The LORD our righteousness [with us, in us].
17 For thus says the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel [saying earlier in the chapter, in verse 4, this house of Judah, the house of the kings, has been thrown down, and then saying they, these corrupted and fallen leaders are fighting the Chaldeans, those who use deception and falsehood to manipulate and control them, verse 5 saying, “but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness {both sides} I have hid my face [paniym – My presence, of which they are obviously ignorant} from this {evil} city”];
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites [ONE BODY as a “royal priesthood,” and God’s holy nation] want a man before me [paniym – manifesting My presence] to offer burnt offerings [purified in the fire], and to kindle meat [this deep understanding that strengthens all who receive it] offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Thus says the LORD; If you can break my covenant of the day [a time of light], and my covenant of the night [the time of darkness], and that there should not be day and night [light that follows the time of darkness] in their season [at the appointed time, predictable to those who know the ordinances of heaven];
21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son [I Am] to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
22 As the host [the army] of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
23 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Consider you not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families [the houses of Judah and Joseph] which the LORD has chosen, he has even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a [one] nation before [paniym – manifesting My presence with and in] them.
25 Thus says the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return [when they are again possessed by My good mind], and have mercy on them.
Ezekiel 37
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these [dead and scattered] bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried [without this word of the LORD], and our hope [of entering into His presence] is lost: we are cut off for [scattered from] our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves [here in the earth], and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land [‘adamah – this generation, the last that becomes the first] of Israel [My people who, by faith and obedience, receive this promised end].
13 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves [here in the earth, brought My people from death into this new life],
14 And shall put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land [‘adamah – this new generation, the first of My new creation of heaven and earth]: then shall you know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, says the LORD.
15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, you son of man, take you one stick [‘ets – good tree], and write upon it, For Judah [the elect remnant, the first fruits], and for the children of Israel his companions [chaber – those united with them]: then take another stick [‘ets – good tree], and write upon it, For Joseph [David’s king {‘adown}, whose birthright is the throne], the stick [‘ets – good tree] of Ephraim [his seed upon whom this double blessing has come, who were before in double ruin] and for all the house of Israel his companions [chaber – all those joined together]:
17 And join them one to another into one stick [‘ets – good tree]; and they shall become ONE [BODY of Christ] in your hand.
18 And when the children of your people shall speak unto you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will take the stick [‘ets – good tree] of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes [shebet – the branch, the scepter to rule] of Israel his fellows [chaber – all those joined with them], and will put them with him, even with the stick [’ets – the good tree] of Judah, and make them one stick [‘ets – ONE good tree], and they shall be [hayah – become, the LORD shall become in them] ONE [BODY of Christ] in my [the LORD’s] hand [with His power doing His work].
20 And the sticks [‘ets – the good tree of life] whereon you write [these words into their minds] shall be [hayah – come into being who they are] in your [the son of man’s] hand before their eyes [now realizing they see as the LORD sees].
21 And say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen [those who don’t know Me], whither they be gone [halak – walked astray], and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land [‘adamah – this new generation of My creation]:
22 And I will make them one [new] nation in the land [‘erets – this new earth] upon the mountains of Israel [My new governments of church and state]; and one king [I Am] shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations [of many scattered tribes], neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land [‘erets – this earth] that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children forever: and my servant David shall be their prince forever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary [My presence with them, in them, and they in Me] shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Ezekiel 29
1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt [the leaders of those oppressing us in church and state], and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
3 Speak, and say, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon [like a crocodile lurking below the surface of the water that flow into the sea, like death hidden in the deceptive and manipulative words that flow to all humanity] that lies in the midst of his rivers [that carry the words], which has said, My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.
4 But I will put hooks in your jaws [your words shall be a snare that catches all who follow your advice and act upon your teaching/leading], and I will cause the fish of your rivers to stick unto your scales, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers [so all can see what is hidden below the surface], and all the fish of your rivers shall stick unto your scales [and all who’ve followed you shall realize they have been caught with you].
5 And I will leave you thrown into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers: you shall fall upon the open fields [where all are able to see you]; you shall not be brought together, nor gathered [you will not be gather to the LORD with those who haven’t stuck with you until the end]: I have given you for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to [you are seen unable to bear the weight of those you’ve convinced to rely on you] the house of Israel.
7 When they took hold of you by your hand, you did break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon you, you broke, and made all their loins to be at a stand [they see there is no progress in following your ways and ideas].
8 Therefore thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will bring a sword [these words from the mouth of God] upon you, and cut off man and beast out of you.
9 And the land of Egypt [the land of oppression and tyranny] shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he has said, The river is mine, and I have made it.
10 Behold, therefore I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene [when what you say you’ve seen far off, false prophesies of events to be feared so you could control, are realized to be blindness wherein you saw nothing true] even unto the border of Ethiopia [your ways are realized to be covering the world in darkness, and are therefore ended by this uncovering].
11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years [they shall wander in the wilderness until all the ways of Egypt have been unlearned and the ways of God rule in their mind, for their good].
12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 Yet thus says the LORD God; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
14 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros [pithrown – when this interpretation is opened], into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which brings their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the LORD God.
17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of the false prophets that have caused the desolation of God’s people and the world, by their ruling over them] caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus [against the false church in which God’s people trust]: every head was made bald [all the misleader among them uncovered with time], and every shoulder was peeled [the burden in their word shall be seen as what caused their injury]: yet had he no wages [there is no promised reward for their work], nor his army, for Tyrus [because they are the false church, which cannot deliver], for the service that he had served against it:
19 Therefore thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [their false prophesies, by which they rule the world, shall destroy them]; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, says the LORD God.
21 In that day will I cause the horn [the power of her king] of the house of Israel to bud forth [tsamach – to grow up into the tree of life, as David has gown from a dry ground, watered only by the LORD’s work], and I will give you the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Jeremiah 33
4 For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this [evil] city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah [the now corrupt crop of leaders], which are thrown down by the mounts [the institutional corruption to which they are joined], and by the sword [this word they reject];
5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men [of Judah: Judas], whom I have slain [show to be dead men] in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face [paniym – My presence] from this [evil] city [telling them of their evil condition].
6 Behold, I will bring it [the elect remnant first] health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them [in this teaching] the abundance of peace and truth.
7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
9 And it shall be to me a name of joy [My identity realized], a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear [shama’ – and obey] all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
10 Thus says the LORD; Again there shall be heard [shama’ – and obeyed] in this place, which you say shall be desolate without man [living by the LORD’s Spirit] and without beast [men being dead without the LORD’s Spirit], even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate [where all are dead and ignorant of it], without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
11 [Again shall be heard] The voice of joy [realizing the LORD’s is present with us, in us], and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts [a man of war]: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endures forever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house [family] of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land [‘erets – the earth under the LORD’s possession], as at the first, says the LORD.
12 Thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war]; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin [the first born in this promised new creation, who are at the LORD’s right hand], and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that tells [manah – these things heard here] them, says the LORD.
14 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
Psalms 147
1 Praise you the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 The LORD does build up [His people, New Heavenly] Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4 He tells the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our LORD, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The LORD lifts up the meek: he casts the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covers the heaven with clouds [wherein He reserves understanding], who prepares rain [His word] for the earth, who maketh grass [new life] to grow upon the mountains [the governments of church and state].
9 He gives to the beast [without His Spirit] his food, and to the young ravens [covered in darkness: ignorance] which cry.
10 He delights not in the strength of the horse [the powerful of the earth]: he taketh not pleasure in the legs [the ways] of a man.
11 The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem [all His people into whom His teaching flows]; praise your God, O Zion.
13 For he has strengthened [with this understanding] the bars of your gates [keeping the wicked in hell and protecting heaven from their invasion]; he has blessed [with this double blessing of Ephraim, the first generation of His new creation] your children within you.
14 He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat [good seed He separated from the chaff].
15 He sends forth his commandment upon earth: his word runs very swiftly.
16 He gives snow [this word reserved, frozen in heaven, sent against the current crop of corrupt leaders in this time of war] like wool [to protect against the evil elements of the corrupt]: he scatters the hoarfrost [this word] like ashes [exposing the ruin of the world].
17 He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18 He sends out his word, and melts them [and understanding is given]: he causes his wind to blow [nashab – by His Spirit He did drive away the wicked], and the waters flow [into the sea, to all humanity].
19 He shows his word unto Jacob [His people wrestling with Him and His word unknown], his statutes and his judgments unto Israel [line upon line, precept upon precept, to those who receive this expected end].
20 He has not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them [His presence manifested]. Praise you the LORD.
