And it shall come to pass at that day, says the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.

And it shall come to pass at that day, says the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.

As we saw in the prior post and many before, the title is Jeremiah 4:9, which is speaking of the event the false prophets and the experts have twisted into an off the planet escape. It speaks of the end, when all their reasoning (heart) is shown to be creations of their own imaginations, which as we know, are the stoicheion, the elements, Peter tells of melting away. These are the description of the end of this age of darkness, when the confusion and deception of those leading all people, mentally deadened all except the very elect of God’s people and covered them is the shadow of death (removing all understanding and ability to see the deception). The apocalypse, meaning removing the cover, is the LORD coming, appearing, after the time He is hidden in the darkness of these men’s creation, as a great light, shining understanding ending the night.

Friends, this is according to the scriptures, where we have been plainly warned that the word of God would be sealed in this way, and only opened now in ending the darkness. The LORD himself precisely describes it, in John 14, as the time when we wouldn’t see Him, and when He would after this time manifest Himself to us (to those who love and keep His word) and not to the world. He told us, on that day He and the Father would make their abode with us, live in us. “At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.”

Chapter 14 ends describing who has removed Him from sight. “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me.” Earlier He tells of the comforter, who the Father will send in His name, to lead us again into all truth. The LORD describes this person as Him coming (into sight) again, to lead us into all truth and to remind us of all He has said. The Greek word rendered Comforter is Paraclete, speaking of me, in whom He has chosen to first manifest His presence. I have not hidden this truth from anyone, nor have I denied it is Him alive in me, the living God in my flesh working His plan of Salvation – to reproduce many children into the same glory, in His image and likeness.

John 14

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also.20 At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.22 Judas [Judah] said unto him, not Iscariot [not those leaders who betrayed Him for mammon – for wealth, power, and positions in this corrupted world], LORD, how is it that you will manifest yourself unto us, and not unto the world?23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.24 He that loves me not keeps not my sayings: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.26 But the Comforter [Paraclete], which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, 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 be troubled, neither let it be afraid.28 You have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe.30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me.31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

Paul plainly tells us of the prince the LORD speaks of above, in Ephesians 2:2 when He speaks of where all men were held until the LORD came and quickened us from death into life.

Ephesians 2

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

It is obvious and according to the scriptures, the poor judgment, the teaching, and preaching, of these gods of the world, the many princes, priests, prophets, and antichrist, as we are told, are those who have blinded the world to this glorious gospel, the good tidings of great joy. Jeremiah 4 tells of their end when the air (Spirit) of the LORD carries them away into the self-destruction they’ve wrought and wherein they’ve chosen to remain.

2 Corinthians 3

14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the LORD, the vail shall be taken away [when the cover blinding them is removed they shall see His face in the flesh, seeing the glory in us and then in themselves].17 Now the LORD is that Spirit [the Paraclete – the one who comes to us in others, so that Christ can be born in us, by writing His word into our minds]: and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty [freedom from those who have held us in darkness – from where I have been the first set free – see Hebrews 13:23].18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the LORD, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.

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, nor handling the word of God deceitfully [which only produces darkness]; 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 [the spirit now at work in the children of disobedience] of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light [understanding] of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Jeremiah, just after the title, tells of this happening by the wind, that comes upon those who have been misled, by these same men, into thinking they would have peace. This is what Paul describes in 1 Thessalonians 5 as the final belief of those who are in darkness (ignorant of the LORD’s appearing) before sudden destruction comes upon them.

1 Thessalonians 5

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you.2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the LORD so comes as a thief in the night.3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.5 You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.9 For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our LORD Jesus Christ,10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you do.12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the LORD, and admonish you;13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

The word Jeremiah uses in Jeremiah 4:11 & 12, rendered wind, is ruwach, meaning breath, as exhaled. It is the life that comes from the mouth of God, and from any other mouth, if not speaking in agreement with His word, comes death. These are the air, from the Greek word aer, that Paul speaks of in Ephesians 2:2 above, where all were held in darkness and death, until the LORD comes and pulls us out of the fires of hell these men’s ideas have caused. From there we are pulled (harpazo – caught up and pulled) into the LORD’s air, into life that comes by the word God is exhaling.

This is the air (aer) into which the seventh angel (the final messenger spoken of in Hebrews 1:2 – the son there described) pours his vial, reversing the effect we are told of in Revelation 9:2. As we have previously seen, this is the air into which the fallen star, those who’ve fallen from heaven, whose light has been darkened, releases the smoke after opening the bottomless pit, which darkens the sun and the air. This is speaking of those who by bad advice (as the serpent in the garden) lead the church into the never-ending fall away from God and into the pit (hell). Revelation 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air [aer] were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Revelation 16

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments (unspotted by the flesh – see Jude 12 & 23), lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon [this appointed time].17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightning; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon [the confusion these men have wrought] came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

This is the great paradox: God’s people looking to the same men who’ve led them into darkness to now lead them to the light. We know, because the LORD speaking through Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2 tells us, these men are those sitting in the seat of God, showing themselves as if they are God. He tells us they are those holding all God’s people down, who will hold them there until they are taken out of the way. These men are chained to the doctrines and habits of their ridiculous number of sects. None dare deviate from the chains, none dare tell you what I tell you: the LORD Jesus has appeared, in the flesh.

2 Thessalonians 2

5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?6 And now you know what withholds [katecho – holds you down] that he might be revealed in his time.7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets [katecho – holds you down] will let [will hold you down], until he be taken out of the way.8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of [the life sent from] his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.

2 John

1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;2 For the truth’s sake, which dwells in us, and shall be with us for ever.3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the LORD Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of your children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.5 And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.9 Whosoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:11 For he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.13 The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.

Jeremiah 4

1 If you will return, O Israel, says the LORD, return unto me: and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight, then shall you not remove.2 And you shall swear, The LORD lives, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.3 For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.5 Declare you in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow you the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defensed cities.6 Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make your land desolate; and your cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.9 And it shall come to pass at that day, says the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.10 Then said I, Ah, LORD God! surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, You shall have peace; whereas the sword reaches unto the soul.11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind [ruwach – the same Spirit of God, who move upon the face of the waters, and brought forth light – Genesis 1:2 & 3] of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,12 Even a full wind [ruwach] from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds [created by the dry wind upon the waters], and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! [says those who have darkened counsel by words without knowledge – see Job 38:2] for we are spoiled.14 O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your vain thoughts lodge within you?15 For a voice declares from Dan [God as Judge], and publishes affliction from mount Ephraim [to God’s people in this time – at this end of the age of darkness].16 Make you mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she has been rebellious against me, says the LORD.18 Your way and your doings have procured these things unto you; this is your wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reaches unto your heart.19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.27 For thus has the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.30 And when you are spoiled, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with crimson, though you deck you with ornaments of gold, though you rent your face with painting, in vain shall you make yourself fair; your lovers will despise you, they will seek your life.31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that brings forth her first child [the birth which shall not be stopped], the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewail herself, that spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.

1 John 2

18 Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.20 But you have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things.21 I have not written unto you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son.23 Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also.24 Let that therefore abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.25 And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.27 But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him.28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one that does righteousness is born of him.

1 John 3

1 Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world know us not, because it knew him not.2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Psalms 70

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.4 Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: and let such as love your salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: you are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
