Day: February 3, 2021

The LORD said unto me, “It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.”

After the above verse, Revelation 21:6, John describes the dwelling of the God seen on the earth, including the gates through which we enter. As we saw in the previous post, the entrance (eisodos) into the kingdom, into God’s presence, is what He has sent me to preach.

Today is that day. Below is from the Book of Enoch (from bookofenoch.org – Enoch 92.2 Let not your spirit be saddened by the times, for the Holy and Great One has appointed days for all things.) Those who’ve been with me from the beginning, who’ve loved and kept this word of God, will understand perfectly.

“Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

From the mouth of God, this is the consummation (kalah):

36.1 And, from there, I went towards the south, to the ends of the Earth, and there I saw three Gates of Heaven open; and the south wind, and the dew, and the rain, and wind, come out from there.
36.2 And, from there, I went towards the east of the ends of Heaven, and there I saw the three eastern Gates of Heaven open, and above them, there were smaller Gates.
36.3 Through each of these smaller Gates, the stars of Heaven pass, and go towards the west, on the path that has been shown to them.
36.4 And when I saw, I blessed, and I will always bless the LORD of Glory, who has made great and glorious wonders, so that He might show the greatness of His Work to His Angels, and to the souls of men, so that they might praise His Work. And so that all His creatures might see the work of His Power, and praise the great work of His Hands, and bless Him forever!

37.1 The second vision that he saw, The Vision of Wisdom, which Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Malalel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, saw.
37.2 And this is the beginning of the words of wisdom, which I raised my voice to speak, and say, to those who dwell on the dry ground. Hear, you men of old, and see, those who come after, the words of the Holy One, which I will speak, in front of the LORD of Spirits.
37.3 “It would have been better to have said these things before, but from those who come after, we will not withhold the beginning of wisdom.”
37.4 Until now, there has not been given by the LORD of Spirits, such wisdom as I have received. In accordance with my insight, in accordance with the wish of the LORD of Spirits; by whom the lot of eternal life has been given to me.
37.5 And the three parables were imparted to me, and I raised my voice, and said to those who dwell on the dry ground: 

38.1 The First Parable. When the Community of the Righteous appears; and the sinners are judged for their sins, and are driven from the face of the dry ground.
38.2 And when the Righteous One appears, in front of the Chosen Righteous, whose works are weighed by the LORD of Spirits. And when light appears to the righteous, and chosen, who dwell on the dry ground, where will be the dwelling of the sinners? And where will be the resting-place of those who denied the LORD of Spirits? It would have been better for them if they had not been born.
38.3 And when the secrets of the righteous are revealed, the sinners will be judged, and the impious driven from the presence of the righteous and the chosen.
38.4 And, from then on, those who possess the Earth will not be mighty and exalted. Nor will they be able to look at the face of the Holy Ones, for the light of the LORD of the Spirits will have appeared on the faces of the Holy, the righteous, and the chosen.
38.5 And the mighty kings will, at that time, be destroyed, and given into the hands of the righteous and the Holy.
38.6 And, from then on, none will be able to seek the LORD of Spirits, for their life will be at an end.

39.1 And it will come to pass, in these days, that the chosen and holy children will come down from the High Heavens, and their offspring will become one with the sons of men.
39.2 In those days, Enoch received books of indignation, and anger, and books of tumult and confusion. “And there will be no mercy for them”, says the LORD of Spirits.
39.3 And at that time, clouds, and a storm wind, carried me off from the face of the Earth, and set me down at the end of Heaven.
39.4 And there, I saw another vision; the Dwelling of the Righteous, and the Resting Places of the Holy.
39.5 There, my eyes saw their dwelling with the Angels, and their resting places with the Holy Ones, and they were petitioning, and supplicating, and praying, on behalf of the sons of men. And righteousness, like water, flowed in front of them, and mercy, like dew on the ground. Thus it is among them for ever and ever.
39.6 And in those days, my eyes saw the Place of the Chosen Ones of Righteousness and Faith; and there will be righteousness in their days, and the righteous and chosen will be without number, in front of Him, for ever and ever.
39.7 And I saw their dwelling, under the Wings of the LORD of Spirits, and all the righteous and chosen shone in front of Him, like the light of fire. And their mouths were full of blessing, and their lips praised the name of the LORD of Spirits. And righteousness will not fail in front of Him, and truth will not fail in front of Him.
39.8 There I wished to dwell, and my soul longed for that dwelling; there had my lot been assigned before, for thus it was decided about me, in front of the LORD of Spirits.
39.9 And in those days, I praised and exalted the name of the LORD of Spirits, with blessing and praise, for He has destined me for blessing and praise, in accordance with the wish of the LORD of Spirits.
39.10 And for a long time my eyes looked at that place, and I blessed Him, and praised Him, saying: “Blessed is He, and may He be blessed from the beginning, and forever!”
39.11 And in His presence there is no end. He knew, before the world was created, what the world would be; even for all the generations that are to come. 
39.12 Those Who Do Not Sleep bless you, and they stand before Your Glory, and bless, and praise, and exalt, saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy, LORD of Spirits; He fills the Earth with spirits.”
39.13 And there, my eyes saw all Those Who Do Not Sleep, standing in front of Him, and blessing, and saying: “Blessed are You, and blessed is the Name of the LORD, for ever and ever!”
39.14 And my face was transformed until I was unable to see.

40.1 And after this, I saw a thousand thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand! A multitude, beyond number or reckoning, who stood in front of the Glory of the LORD of Spirits.
40.2 I looked, and on the four sides of the LORD of Spirits, I saw four figures, different from those who were standing; and I learnt their names, because the Angel, who went with me, made known their names, and showed me all the secret things.
40.3 And I heard the voices of those four figures as they sang praises in front of the LORD of Glory.
40.4 The first voice blesses the LORD of Spirits for ever and ever.
40.5 And the second voice I heard blessing the Chosen One, and the chosen, who depend on the LORD of Spirits.
40.6 And the third voice I heard, petitioned, and prayed, on behalf of those who dwell on dry ground, and supplicate in the name of the LORD of Spirits.
40.7 And the fourth voice, I heard driving away the Satans, and not allowing them to come before the LORD of Spirits to accuse those who dwell on the dry ground.
40.8 And, after this, I asked the Angel of Peace, who went with me, and showed me everything which is secret: “Who are those four figures, whom I have seen, and whose words I have heard and written down?”
40.9 And he said to me: “This first one is the Holy Michael [who is like God], the merciful and long-suffering. And the second, who is in charge of all the diseases, and in charge of all the wounds of the sons of men, is Raphael [the health of God]. And the third, who is in charge of all the powers, is the Holy Gabriel [the warrior of God]. And the fourth, who is in charge of the repentance and hope of those who will inherit eternal life, is Phanuel [the face of God – His presence realized].”
40.10 And these are the four Angels of the LORD Most High; and the four voices that I heard in those days.

41.1 And after this, I saw all the secrets of Heaven, and how the Kingdom is divided, and how the deeds of men are weighed in the Balance.
41.2 There I saw the Dwelling of the Chosen, and the Resting Places of the Holy; and my eyes saw there all the sinners, who deny the name of the LORD of Spirits, being driven from there. And they dragged them off, and they were not able to remain, because of the punishment that went out from the LORD of Spirits.
41.3 And there, my eyes saw the secrets of the flashes of lightning, and of the thunder. And the secrets of the winds, how they are distributed, in order to blow over the Earth, and the secrets of the clouds, and of the dew; and there I saw from where they go out, in that place. And how, from there, the dust of the Earth is saturated.
41.4 And there I saw closed storehouses, from which the winds are distributed, and the storehouse of the hail, and the storehouse of the mist, and the storehouse of the clouds; and its cloud remained over the Earth, from the beginning of the world. 
41.5 And I saw the Chambers of the Sun, and the Moon, where they go out, and where they return. And their glorious return; and how one is more honored than the other is. And their magnificent course, and how they do not leave their course, neither adding nor subtracting from their course. And how they keep faith in one another; observing their oath.
41.6 And the Sun goes out first, and completes its journey at the command of the LORD of Spirits; and His Name endures for ever and ever.
41.7 And, after this, is the hidden, and visible, path of the Moon, and it travels the course of its journey, in that place, by day and by night. One stands opposite the other, in front of the LORD of Spirits, and they give thanks, and sing praise, and do not rest, because their thanksgiving is like rest to them.
41.8 For the shining Sun makes many revolutions; for a blessing and for a curse. And the path, of the journey of the Moon, is for the righteous, light, but for the sinners, darkness. In the Name of the LORD, who has created a division between light and darkness, and has divided the spirits of men, and has established the spirits of the righteous, in the name of His Righteousness.
41.9 For no Angel hinders, and no power is able to hinder, because the Judge sees them all, and judges them all Himself.

42.1 Wisdom, found no place where she could dwell, and her dwelling was in Heaven. 
42.2 Wisdom went out, in order to dwell among the sons of men, but did not find a dwelling; wisdom returned to her place, and took her seat in the midst of the Angels.
42.3 And Iniquity came out from her chambers; those whom she did not seek, she found, and dwelt among them, like rain in the desert, and like dew on the parched ground.

43.1 And again, I saw flashes of lightning, and the Stars of Heaven, and I saw how He called them all by their names, and they obeyed Him.
43.2 And I saw the Balance of Righteousness; how they are weighed according to their light, according to the width of their areas, and the day of their appearing. And how their revolutions produce lightning; and I saw their revolutions, according to the number of the Angels, and how they keep faith with one another.
43.3 And I asked the Angel, who went with me and showed me what is secret: “What are these?” 
43.4 And he said to me: “Their likeness, the LORD of Spirits has shown to you; these are the names of the righteous, who dwell on the dry ground, and believe in the name of the LORD of Spirits for ever and ever.”

44.1 And other things I saw, concerning lightning, how some of the stars rise, and become lightning, but cannot lose their form.
 
45.1 And this is The Second Parable. About those who deny the Name of the Dwelling of the Holy Ones, and of the LORD of Spirits.
45.2 They will not ascend into Heaven, nor will they come upon the Earth; such will be the lot of the sinners who deny the Name of the LORD of Spirits, who will thus be kept for the Day of Affliction and Distress.
45.3 “On that day the Chosen One will sit on the Throne of Glory and will choose their works. And their resting places will be without number, and their spirits, within them, will grow strong when they see My Chosen One, and those who appeal to My Holy and Glorious Name. 
45.4 And on that day, I will cause My Chosen One to dwell among them, and I will transform Heaven and make it an Eternal Blessing and Light.
45.5 And I will transform the dry ground, and make it a blessing, and I will cause My Chosen Ones to dwell upon it; but those who commit sin and evil will not tread upon it.
45.6 For I have seen, and have satisfied with peace, My Righteous Ones, and have placed them in front of Me; but for the sinners My Judgement draws near, so that I may destroy them from the face of the Earth.”

46.1 And there, I saw one who had a Head of Days, and his head was white like wool. And with him there was another, whose face had the appearance of a man, and his face was full of grace, like one of the Holy Angels.
46.2 And I asked one of the Holy Angels, who went with me, and showed me all the secrets, about that Son of Man, who he was, and from where he was, and why he went with the Head of Days. 
46.3 And he answered me, and said to me: “This is the Son of Man who has righteousness, and with whom righteousness dwells. He will reveal all the treasures of that which is secret, for the LORD of Spirits has chosen him, and through uprightness, his lot has surpassed all others, in front of the LORD of Spirits, for ever.
46.4 And this Son of Man, who you have seen, will rouse the kings and the powerful from their resting places, and the strong from their thrones, and will loose the reins of the strong, and will break the teeth of the sinners.
46.5 And he will cast down the kings from their thrones, and from their kingdoms, for they do not exalt Him, and do not praise Him, and do not humbly acknowledge from where their kingdom was given to them.
46.6 And he will cast down the faces of the strong, and shame will fill them, and darkness will be their dwelling, and worms will be their resting place. And they will have no hope of rising from their resting-places, for they do not exalt the Name of the LORD of Spirits.
46.7 And these are they who judge the Stars of Heaven, and raise their hands against the Most High, and trample upon the dry ground, and dwell upon it. And all their deeds show iniquity, and their power rests on their riches, and their faith is in their gods, that they have made with their hands, and they deny the Name of the LORD of Spirits.
46.8 And they will be driven from the houses of His Congregation, and of the faithful, who depend on the Name of the LORD of Spirits.

47.1 And, in those days, the prayer of the righteous, and the blood of the righteous, will have ascended from the Earth, in front of the LORD of Spirits.
47.2 In these days, the Holy Ones, who live in Heaven above, will unite with one voice, and supplicate, and pray, and praise, and give thanks, and bless, in the Name of the LORD of Spirits. Because of the blood of the righteous that has been poured out. And because of the prayer of the righteous, so that it may not cease in front of the LORD of Spirits, so that justice might be done to them, and that their patience may not have to last for ever.”
47.3 And in those days, I saw the Head of Days sit down on the Throne of His Glory, and the Books of the Living were opened, in front of Him, and all His Host, which dwell in the Heavens above, and His Council were standing in front of Him.
47.4 And the hearts of the Holy Ones were full of joy, that the Number of Righteousness had been reached, and the prayer of the righteous had been heard, and the blood of the righteous had been required, in front of the LORD of Spirits. 

48.1 And in that place, I saw an inexhaustible Spring of Righteousness, and many Springs of Wisdom surrounded it, and all the thirsty drank from them, and were filled with wisdom, and their dwelling was with the Righteous, and the Holy, and the Chosen.
48.2 And at that hour, that Son of Man was named in the presence of the LORD of Spirits, and named in front of the Head of Days.
48.3 Even before the Sun and the constellations were created, before the Stars of Heaven were made, his name was named in front of the LORD of Spirits.
48.4 He will be a staff to the Righteous, and the Holy, so that they may lean on him and not fall, and he will be the Light of the Nations, and he will be the hope of those who grieve in their hearts.
48.5 All those who dwell upon the dry ground, will fall down and worship, in front of Him, and they will bless, and praise, and celebrate with psalms, the name of the LORD of Spirits.
48.6 And because of this, he was chosen, and hidden in front of Him, before the World was created, and forever.
48.7 But the wisdom of the LORD of Spirits, has revealed him to the holy and the righteous, for He has kept safe the lot of the righteous, for they have hated, and rejected, this world of iniquity. And all its works, and its ways, they have hated, in the name of the LORD of Spirits. For in His Name they are saved, and He is the one who will require their lives.
48.8 And in those days, the kings of the Earth, and the strong, who possess the dry ground, will have downcast faces, because of the works of their hands, for on the day of their distress and trouble, they will not save themselves.
48.9 “And I will give them into the hands of My Chosen Ones; like straw in the fire, and like lead in water, so they will burn in front of the Righteous, and sink in front of the Holy, and no trace will be found of them.”
48.10 And on the day of their trouble, there will be rest on the Earth, and they will fall down in front of them and will not rise. And there will be no one, who will take them with his hands, and raise them, for they denied the LORD of Spirits and His Messiah. May the Name of the LORD of Spirits be blessed!

49.1 For wisdom has been poured out like water, and glory will not fail in front of Him, for ever and ever.
49.2 For he is powerful in all the secrets of righteousness, and iniquity will pass away like a shadow, and will have no existence; for the Chosen One stands in front of the LORD of Spirits, and His Glory is for ever and ever, and His Power for all generations.
49.3 And in him dwells the spirit of wisdom, and the spirit that gives understanding, and the spirit of knowledge, and of power, and the spirit of those who sleep in righteousness.
49.4 And he will judge the things that are secret, and no one will be able to say an idle word in front of him, for he has been chosen in front of the LORD of Spirits, in accordance with His wish.

50.1 And, in those days, a change will occur for the Holy and the Chosen; the Light of Days will rest upon them, and glory and honor will return to the Holy.
50.2 And, on the Day of Trouble, calamity will be heaped up over the sinners, but the righteous will conquer, in the Name of the LORD of Spirits, and he will show this to others so that they might repent, and abandon the works of their hands.
50.3 And they will have no honor, in front of the LORD of Spirits, but in his name they will be saved, and the LORD of Spirits will have mercy on them, for His mercy is great. 
50.4 And he is righteous, in his judgement, and in front of his glory, iniquity will not be able to stand against his judgement; he who does not repent will be destroyed.
50.5 “And from then on I will not have mercy on them,” says the LORD of Spirits.

51.1 And in those days, the Earth will return that which has been entrusted to it, and Sheol will return that which has been entrusted to it, and that which it has received. And destruction will return what it owes.
51.2 And He will choose the righteous, and the holy, from among them; for the day has come near when they must be saved.
51.3 And in those days, the Chosen One will sit on His Throne, and all the Secrets of Wisdom will flow out from the council of his mouth, for the LORD of Spirits has appointed him and glorified him.
51.4 And in those days, the mountains will leap like rams, and the hills will skip like lambs satisfied with milk, and all will become Angels in Heaven.
51.5 Their faces will shine with joy, for in those days the Chosen One will have risen, and the Earth will rejoice. And the righteous will dwell upon it, and the chosen will walk upon it.

52.1 And, after those days, in that place where I had seen all the visions of that which is secret, for I had been carried off by a whirlwind, and they had brought me to the west.
52.2 There, my eyes saw the Secrets of Heaven; everything that will occur on Earth: a mountain of iron, and a mountain of copper, and a mountain of silver, and a mountain of gold, and a mountain of soft metal, and a mountain of lead.
52.3 And I asked the Angel, who went with me, saying: “What are these things which I have seen in secret?”
52.4 And he said to me: “All these things, which you have seen, serve the authority of His Messiah, so that he may be strong and powerful on the Earth.” 
52.5 And that Angel of Peace answered me, saying: “Wait a little and you will see, and everything which is secret, which the LORD of Spirits has established, will be revealed to you.
52.6 And these mountains, that you have seen; the mountain of iron, and the mountain of copper, and the mountain of silver, and the mountain of gold, and the mountain of soft metal, and the mountain of lead. All these, in front of the Chosen One, will be like wax before fire, and, like the water that comes down from above onto these mountains, they will be weak under his feet.
52.7 And it will come to pass, in those days, that neither by gold, nor by silver, will men save themselves; they will be unable to save themselves, or to flee. 
52.8 And there will be neither iron for war, nor material for a breastplate; bronze will be no use, and tin will be of no use, and will count for nothing, and lead will not be wanted.
52.9 All these will be wiped out, and destroyed, from the face of the Earth, when the Chosen One appears in front of the LORD of Spirits.”

53.1 And there, my eyes saw a deep valley, and its mouth was open; and all those who dwell upon dry ground, and the sea, and the islands, will bring gifts, and presents, and offerings, to Him, but that deep valley will not become full.
53.2 And their hands commit evil, and everything, at which the righteous toil, the sinners evilly devour; and so the sinners will be destroyed from in front of the LORD of Spirits, and will be banished from the face of His Earth, unceasingly for ever and ever.
53.3 For I saw the Angels of Punishment going and preparing all the instruments of Satan.
53.4 And I asked the Angel of Peace, who went with me, and I said to him: “These instruments; for whom are they preparing them?”
53.5 And he said to me: “They are preparing these for the kings, and the powerful of this Earth, so that by means of them they may be destroyed.
53.6 And, after this, the Righteous and Chosen One, will cause the house of His Congregation to appear; from then on, in the Name of the LORD of Spirits, they will not be hindered.
53.7 And in front of him, these mountains will not be firm like the earth, and the hills will be like a spring of water; and the righteous will have rest from the ill-treatment of the sinners.”

54.1 And I looked, and turned to another part of the Earth, and I saw there a deep valley with burning fire.
54.2 And they brought the kings, and powerful, and threw them into that valley.
54.3 And there, my eyes saw how they made instruments for them; iron chains of immeasurable weight.
54.4 And I asked the Angel of Peace, who went with me, saying: “These chain instruments; for whom are they being prepared?”
54.5 And he said to me: “These are being prepared for the hosts of Azazel [the corrupt powers of the earth], so that they may take them, and throw them into the lowest part of hell, and they will cover their jaws with rough stones, as the LORD of Spirits commanded.
54.6 And Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel; these will take hold of them on that great day. And throw them, on that day, into the furnace of burning fire, so that the LORD of Spirits may take vengeance on them, for their iniquity, in that they became servants of Satan, and led astray those who dwell upon the dry ground.
54.7 And in those days, the punishment of the LORD of Spirits will go out, and all the storehouses of the waters, which are above the sky, and under the earth, will be opened.
54.8 And all the waters will be joined with the waters that are above the sky. The water that is above the sky is male, and the water that is under the Earth is female.
54.9 And all those who dwell upon the dry ground, and those who dwell under the ends of Heaven, will be wiped out.
54.10 And because of this, they will acknowledge their iniquity, which they have committed on the Earth, and through this they will be destroyed.”

55.1 And, after this, the Head of Days repented, and said: “I have destroyed, to no purpose, all those who dwell upon the dry ground.”
55.2 And He swore, by His Great Name: “From now on, I will not act like this towards all those who dwell upon the dry ground. And I will put a sign in Heaven, and it will be a pledge of faith between Me and them, forever, so long as Heaven is above the Earth.
55.3 And this will be in accordance with My command. When I want to take hold of them, with the hands of the Angels, on the day of distress and pain, in the face of My anger, and My wrath; My wrath and anger will remain upon them” says the LORD, The LORD of Spirits.
55.4 “You powerful kings, who dwell upon the dry ground, will be obliged to watch My Chosen One sit down on the throne of My Glory, and judge, in the Name of the LORD of Spirits, Azazel, and all his associates, and all his hosts.”

56.1 And I saw there, the hosts of the Angels of Punishment, as they went, and they were holding chains of iron and bronze.
56.2 And I asked the Angel of Peace, who went with me, saying: “To whom are those who are holding the chains going?”
56.3 And he said to me: “Each to his own chosen ones, and to their beloved ones, so that they may be thrown into the chasm, in the depths of the valley. 
56.4 And then that valley will be filled with their chosen and beloved ones, and the days of their life will be at an end, and the days of their leading astray will no longer be counted.
56.5 And in those days, the Angels will gather together, and will throw themselves towards the east, upon the Parthians and Medes. They will stir up the kings, so that a disturbing spirit will come upon them, and they will drive them from their thrones. And they will come out like lions from their lairs, and like hungry wolves in the middle of their flocks.
56.6 And they will go up and trample on the land of My Chosen Ones, and the land of My Chosen Ones will become before them a tramping-ground, and a beaten track.
56.7 But the City of My Righteous Ones will be a hindrance to their horses, and they will stir up slaughter amongst themselves, and their own right hand will be strong against them. And a man will not admit to knowing his neighbor, or his brother, nor a son his father, or his mother, until, through their death, there are corpses enough, and their punishment; it will not be in vain.
56.8 And in those days Sheol will open its mouth, and they will sink into it, and their destruction; Sheol will swallow up the sinners before the faces of the chosen.”

57.1 And it came to pass, after this, that I saw another host of chariots, with men riding on them, and they came upon the wind, from the east, and from the west, to the south.
57.2 And the sound of the noise of their chariots was heard. And when this commotion occurred, the Holy Ones observed it from Heaven, and the Pillars of the Earth were shaken from their foundations. And the sound was heard, from the ends of the Earth, to the ends of Heaven, throughout one day.
57.3 And all will fall down and worship the LORD of Spirits. And this is the end of The Second Parable.
 
58.1 And I began to speak The Third Parable. About The Righteous and about The Chosen.
58.2 Blessed are you, the righteous and the chosen, for your lot will be glorious!
58.3 And the righteous will be in the light of the Sun, and the chosen in the light of eternal life. And there will be no end to the days of their life. And the days of the Holy will be without number.
58.4 And they will seek the light, and will find righteousness with the LORD of Spirits. Peace be to the righteous with the LORD of the World!
58.5 And, after this, it will be said to the Holy that they should seek in Heaven the secrets of righteousness, the lot of faith; for it has become bright as the Sun upon the dry ground, and darkness has passed away.
58.6 And there will be ceaseless light, and to a limit of days they will not come, for darkness will have been destroyed previously. And the light will endure, in front of the LORD of Spirits, and the light of uprightness will endure, in front of the LORD of Spirits, forever.

61.1 And, in those days, I saw long cords given to those Angels, and they acquired wings for themselves, and flew, and went towards the north.
61.2 And I asked the Angel, saying: “Why did these take the long cords, and go?” And he said to me: “They went so that they may measure.”
61.3 And the Angel, who went with me, said to me: “These will bring the measurements of the righteous, and the ropes of the righteous, to the righteous, so that they may rely on the Name of the LORD of Spirits, for ever and ever.
61.4 The chosen will begin to dwell with the chosen, and these measurements will be given to faith, and will strengthen righteousness.
61.5 And these measurements will reveal all the secrets of the depths of the Earth, and those who were destroyed by the desert, and those who were devoured by the fish of the sea, and by animals, so that they may return, and rely on the Day of the Chosen One. For no one will be destroyed, in front of the LORD of Spirits, and no one can be destroyed.”
61.6 And all those in the Heavens above, received a command, and power, and one voice; and one light, like fire, was given to them.
61.7 And Him before everything, they blessed, and exalted, and praised, in wisdom. And they showed themselves wise, in speech, and in the spirit of life. 
61.8 And the LORD of Spirits, set the Chosen One on the Throne of His Glory, and he will judge all the works of the Holy ones in Heaven above, and in the Balance he will weigh their deeds.
61.9 And when he lifts his face, to judge their secret ways, according to the word of the Name of the LORD of Spirits, and their path according to the way of the Righteous Judgement of the LORD Most High, they will all speak with one voice, and bless, and praise, and exalt, and glorify, the Name of the LORD of Spirits.
61.10 And He will call all the Host of the Heavens, and all the Holy Ones above, and the Host of the LORD, the Cherubim, and the Seraphim, and the Ophannim, and all the Angels of Power, and all the Angels of the Principalities, and the Chosen One, and the other host, that is upon the dry ground, and over the water, on that day.
61.11 And they will raise one voice, and will bless, and praise, and glorify, and exalt, in the spirit of faith, and in the spirit of wisdom, and of patience, and in the spirit of mercy, and in the spirit of justice, and of peace, and in the spirit of goodness. And they will all say with one voice: “Blessed is He, and blessed be the Name of the LORD of Spirits, for ever and ever.”
61.12 All Those Who Do Not Sleep, in Heaven above, will bless Him. All His Holy Ones, who are in Heaven, will bless Him, and all the chosen ones, who dwell in the Garden of Life, and every spirit able to bless, and praise and exalt, and hallow Your Holy Name. And all flesh, which to the limit of its power, will praise, and bless, Your Name for ever and ever.
61.13 For great is the mercy of the LORD of Spirits, and He is long-suffering; and all His works, and all His forces, as many as He has made, He has revealed to the righteous, and the chosen, in the Name of the LORD of Spirits. 

62.1 And thus, The LORD commanded the kings, and the mighty, and the exalted, and those who dwell upon the Earth, and said: “Open your eyes, and raise your horns, if you are able, to acknowledge the Chosen One.”
62.2 And the LORD of Spirits, sat on His Throne of Glory, and the spirit of righteousness was poured out on him, and the word of his mouth kills all the sinners, and all the lawless, and they are destroyed in front of him.
62.3 And on that Day, all the kings, and the mighty, and the exalted, and those who possess the Earth, will stand up, and they will see, and recognize, how he sits on the Throne of His Glory. And the righteous are judged, in righteousness, in front of him, and no idle word is spoken in front of him.
62.4 And pain will come upon them, as upon a woman in labor, for whom giving birth is difficult, when her child enters the mouth of the womb, and she has difficulty giving birth.
62.5 And one half of them, will look at the other, and they will be terrified, and will cast down their faces, and pain will take hold of them, when they see that Son of Man sitting on the Throne of His Glory.
62.6 And the mighty kings, and all those who possess the Earth, will praise, and bless, and exalt, Him who rules everything that is hidden.
62.7 For, from the beginning, that Son of Man was hidden, and the Most High kept him in the presence of His power, and revealed him only to the Chosen.
62.8 And the community, of the Holy and the Chosen, will be sown, and all the Chosen will stand before him, on that day.
62.9 And all the mighty kings, and the exalted, and those who rule the dry ground, will fall down before him, on their faces, and worship; and they will set their hopes on that Son of Man, and will entreat him, and will petition for mercy from him.
62.10 But the LORD of Spirits will then so press them, that they will hasten to go out from before him, and their faces will be filled with shame and the darkness will grow deeper on their faces.
62.11 And the Angels of Punishment will take them, so that they may repay them for the wrong that they did to His children, and to His chosen ones.
62.12 And they will become a spectacle, to the righteous, and to His chosen ones. They will rejoice over them, for the anger of the LORD of Spirits will rest upon them, and the sword of the LORD of Spirits will be drunk with them.
62.13 And the righteous, and the chosen, will be saved on that Day, and they will never see the faces of the sinners, and the lawless, from then on.
62.14 And the LORD of Spirits will remain over them, and with that Son of Man they will dwell, and eat, and lie down, and rise up, for ever and ever.
62.15 And the righteous and chosen will have risen from the earth, and will have ceased to cast down their faces, and will have put on the Garment of Life.
62.16 And this will be a Garment of Life from the LORD of Spirits; and your garments will not wear out, and your glory will not fail, in front of the LORD of Spirits.

63.1 In those days, the mighty kings, who possess the dry ground, will entreat the Angels of His Punishment, to whom they have been handed over, so that they might give them a little respite. And so that they might fall down, and worship, in front of the LORD of Spirits, and confess their sins in front of Him.
63.2 And they will bless, and praise, the LORD of Spirits, and say: “Blessed be the LORD of Spirits, and the LORD of Kings, the LORD of the Mighty, and the LORD of the Rich, and the LORD of Glory, and the LORD of Wisdom!
63.3 And everything secret is clear, in front of You, and Your power is for all generations, and Your glory is for ever and ever. Deep, and without number, are all Your secrets, and Your righteousness is beyond reckoning.
63.4 Now, we realize that we ought to praise, and bless, the LORD of Kings, and the one who is King over all Kings.”
63.5 And they will say: “Would that we might be given a respite, so that we might praise, and thank, and bless Him, and make our confession in front of His Glory.
63.6 And now, we long for a respite, but do not find it, we are driven off and do not obtain it; and the light has passed away from before us, and darkness will be our dwelling, for ever and ever.
63.7 For we have not made our confession before Him, and we have not praised the name of the LORD of Kings, and we have not praised the LORD for all His works, but our hopes have been on the scepter of our kingdom, and of our glory.
63.8 And, on the day of our affliction and distress, He does not save us, and we find no respite to make our confession, that our LORD is faithful in all His doings, and in all His judgements, and His justice, and that His judgements show no respect for persons.
63.9 And we pass away from before Him, because all our works, and all our sins, have been counted exactly.”
63.10 Then they will say to them: “Our souls are sated with possessions, gained through iniquity, but they do not prevent our going down into the flames of the torment of Sheol.”
63.11 And after this, their faces will be filled with darkness and shame, in front of that Son of Man, and they will be driven away from him. And, the sword will dwell among them, in front of him.
63.12 And thus says the LORD of Spirits: “This is the Law, and the judgement for the mighty, and the kings, and the exalted, and for those who possess the dry ground, in front of the LORD of Spirits.”

64.1 And I saw other figures hidden in that place.64.2 I heard the voice of the Angel saying: “These are the Angels who came down from Heaven, onto the Earth, and revealed what is secret to the sons of men, and led astray the sons of men, so that they committed sin.”
 
 

The LORD has brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.

Friends, the word above rendered “declare” is the Hebrew word caphar, meaning “to score with a mark as a tally or record, i.e. (by implication) to inscribe, and also to enumerate; intensively, to recount, i.e. celebrate.” It’s the same word rendered “told” in Habakkuk 1:5, which is later quoted by Paul and recorded by Luke in Acts 13:41. As we’ve seen, in this latter use, Paul adds the word “man” in telling of the one he has just described, who is sent to declare what the people are marvelously wondering at and warned not to miss.

Friends, the LORD has made and sent me for this moment. He molded me by His hand into a resolutely vigilant man, acquainted with affliction and sorrow, toughened in the trials and tribulations of life. He did it as planned, for His people, so we endure the attacks, the reviling and mocking of friend and foe, that come in response to saying the words He would speak, write, through us.

Now, once again, I offer myself to the same, for the mission. This is my lot in life, the baptism, the cup accepted. The title tells us we all have to do the same, not preaching ourselves or our goodness. But rather that Christ is risen, in Spirit and truth, in us preaching the salvation to the world. This is the truth, One God, Christ in us, come to save the world through those who confess He is risen. I confess He is alive in me, and will rise in any receiving His word as the word of God. Those acknowledging His glory, confessing he has done a marvelous work “in our eyes,” can boldly say we are “in the presence of the LORD Jesus Christ at His coming.”

As we know, this last quote is from 1 Thessalonians 2, coming just after Paul recounted the same understanding to those who’ve received his word as the word of God, as it is. He then tells of the resistance of those not yet aware of this reality, which he later, in 1 Thessalonians 4, speaks of as the sleeping who the LORD will come to awaken. He tells of when they hear the voice of the LORD, the awakening shout of the archangel, when we will all together be “caught up” to him in heaven.

As we’ve seen, heaven is the firmament, the LORD’s exposition, through us, separating the word of God from the words of men. The word of God is His understanding, the treasure of heaven held above in the cloud, where the elements of understanding are reassembled and sent to earth as the latter rain.

This is the hand of the LORD, reaching down through those He sends in His name, “pulling” us from the fires. As we know, the word “pulling” is referring to Jude 1:23, where it’s translated from the same word, harpazo, rendered “caught up” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. As we’ve seen, Jude speaks of the event as changing out of the garments “spotted” by the flesh. As we understand, “spotted” refers to hazards below the surface. The change (chaliyphah and allasso) is speaking of the reversal of the reversal of perceptions of good and evil.

We’ve also seen this change, the conclusion in our resurrection, described by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:54 as “when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”

Friends, it is for this cause we are sent, and Christ in us, in the sons of man, must be lifted up. As we know, these the heavenly things that are only understood when we accept (believe) the words the LORD is speaking, declares, here on earth. In the title verse, Jeremiah 51:10, this declaration is spoken of, and in verse 12 we are told it is the “standard” lifted upon the wall of Babylon. As we know, the wall tells of what is protecting Babylon, which is its hold over information, keeping out anything not in agreement with its confusion.

The “standard” is the Hebrew word nec, which is the word rendered “pole,” in Number 21:8 & 9, upon which the brazen serpent is lifted up. As we know, The LORD, in John 3:14 & 15, says, “as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

In Number 21, as in 1 Thessalonians 2, these men are like serpents whose words were causing people to perish. The son of man is lifted as the brazen serpent to counteract their confusion, reversing the darkness by His fiery light, and any who look to him aren’t destroyed. As we know, the LORD says, in John 3:19, the only condemnation is by choice, the decision (krisis) to reject the light and remain in the darkness that is destroying.

John 3
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Are you a master [teacher] of Israel, and know not these things?
11 Truly, truly, I say unto you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man has ascended up to heaven [rises in understanding – see verse 27 & 31 below], but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation [krisis], that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon [‘ayin – the eye, seeing, turned to a fountain, of understanding] near to Salim [near to peace – that comes from understanding], because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized [immersed in the deep that is below the surface of God’s word].
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying. [The purifying John later writes of in 1 John 3:1 thru 3, saying “Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not. 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. And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.]
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you barest witness, behold, the same baptizes, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he that comes from heaven is above all.
32 And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man receives his testimony.
33 He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true.
34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
36 He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.

Hebrews 12
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [from the place of full understanding]:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven [see Haggai 2:6 & 7].
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Haggai 2
3 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel [those born again, by coming out of confusion, out of Babylon], says the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua [Jesus – Jehovah’s salvation personified in us], son of Josedech [born from Jehovah’s righteousness], the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, says the LORD, and work: for I am with you, says the LORD of hosts:
5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so my spirit remains among you: fear you not.
6 For thus says the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of hosts.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts.
9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, says the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, says the LORD of hosts.

1 Thessalonians 2
1 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as you know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which tries our hearts.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children:
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because you were dear unto us.
9 For you remember, brethren, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and un-blamably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children,
12 That you would walk worthy of God, who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe.
14 For you, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the LORD Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?

1 Thessalonians 4
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the LORD, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the LORD shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up [harpazo – pulling us from the fire to Himself] together with them in the clouds, to meet the LORD in the air [aer – away from blinding smoke of the prince of the power of the air, to His clear, pure, air where we see Him clearly]: and so shall we ever be with the LORD.
18 Wherefore comfort [Paraclete – by His Spirit in us, leading into all truth] one another with these words.

The Greek word above, in 1 Thessalonians 2:1, telling of this “entrance” is eisodos, (eis hodos), actually meaning the mode or means of entering, as in the road taking us to the point.

It is first used in Acts 13:24 to tell of John preaching the baptism of repentance, before the LORD’s “coming.” In this light, we see it as speaking of the baptism of repentance being the road taking us to the LORD’s presence, which is our goal.

Acts 13
24 When John had first preached before his coming [eisodos] the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.
30 But God raised him from the dead:
31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33 God has fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you.

Eisodos is used in Hebrews 10:19 to tell of our “entering” the Holy of Holies, into the presence of God.

Hebrews 10
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he has perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the LORD, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter [eisodos] into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having a high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

Numbers 21
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against you; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make you a fiery [see Luke 12:49 below] serpent, and set it upon a pole [nec – a banner/standard the people will see and know the way]: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole [nec], and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth [water-skins – as familiar spirts – where the words of the known dead are heard calling man toward death].
11 And they journeyed from Oboth [they left the words of death], and pitched at Ijeabarim [where all who passed by could see the ruin caused by the corrupt and ignorant words, the venom of serpents], in the wilderness which is before Moab [as these men’s word are seen as the gates of hell, and passing through them we enter the light, understanding the moment and the new day], toward the sun-rising.
12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared [the place of exuberant growth – the advance of God’s people into his next unlimited state/age].
13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon [brawling river – the place of the final battle when the waters overcome and finish the enemies], which is in the wilderness that comes out of the coasts of the Amorites [those speaking and exalting their word above this word of God]: for Arnon is the border of Moab [these are the gates of hell we must pass through], between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea [cuwphah – when we reach the expected end], and in the brooks of Arnon [when these men’s words and God’s word clash and these men are destroyed],
15 And at the stream of the brooks that goes down to the dwelling of Ar [the place of this fountain of the LORD’s word, which breaks down the gate holding God’s people in hell], and lies upon the border of Moab.
16 And from thence they went to Beer [and the people went to the well, the fountain of God here springing up]: that is the well whereof the LORD spoke unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water [this word of God, which I have reserved to myself, for the salvation of God’s people].
17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up [be lifted up, O Word of God], O well; sing you unto it:
18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves.

Luke 12
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Suppose you that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 And he said also to the people, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
55 And when you see the south wind blow, you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
56 You hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that you do not discern this time?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge you not what is right?

Jeremiah 1
4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations.
6 Then said I, Ah, LORD God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for you shall go to all that I shall send you, and whatsoever I command you you shall speak.
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with you to deliver you, saith the LORD.
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest you? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
12 Then said the LORD unto me, You have well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
13 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What see you? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.
14 Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.
16 And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
17 You therefore gird up your loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command you: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound you before them.
18 For, behold, I have made you this day a defensed city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.
19 And they shall fight against you; but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you, says the LORD, to deliver you.

Jeremiah 51
9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reaches unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
10 The LORD has brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare [caphar] in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
11 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
12 Set up the standard [nec – the pole upon which Moses raised the brazen serpent, as the son of man must be lifted] upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare [kuwn – perfect] the ambushes: for the LORD has both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 O you that dwells upon many waters, abundant in treasures, your end is come, and the measure of your covetousness.
14 The LORD of hosts has sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill you with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall lift up a shout against you.
15 He has made the earth by his power, he has established [kuwn – perfected] the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
16 When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth: he makes lightning with rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasures. [These are speaking of when the LORD, as now, sends His word from heaven, and His Spirit moves upon them producing understanding. The following verse tells of the words of men as foundationless confusion in which there is no life-giving power.]
17 Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18 They are vanity [worthless], the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name.
20 You are my battle axe and weapons of war: for with you will I break in pieces the nations, and with you will I destroy kingdoms;
21 And with you will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with you will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;
22 With you also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with you will I break in pieces old and young; and with you will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
23 I will also break in pieces with you the shepherd and his flock; and with you will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with you will I break in pieces captains and rulers.
24 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea [the confusion and those who use their worthless words to intentionally produce it] all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, says the LORD.
25 Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, says the LORD, which destroy all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain.
26 And they shall not take of you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but you shall be desolate forever, says the LORD.
27 Set you up a standard [nec – raise up the brazen serpent, the son of man] in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat [to reverse the curse], Minni [to this rightly divided word of God], and Ashchenaz [that shall be as fire scatter upon the land] appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillars.

Habakkuk 1
5 Behold you among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which you will not believe, though it be told [capgar] you [though a man, as the mouth of God, declares it to you].
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling-places that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves [their corrupt conscience that alters and reverses good and evil].
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hastes to eat.
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
12 Are you not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, you have ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, you have established them for correction.

Acts 13
32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33 God has fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you.
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 Wherefore he says also in another psalm, You shall not suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man [the incorruptible God in him speaking] is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man declares it unto you.

Psalms 34
1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened [nahar – and were given understand that brought them to Him]: and their faces were not ashamed [and they saw Him face to face, which is the expected end].
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them.
8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him.
9 O fear the LORD, you his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
11 Come, you children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile [deception].
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The LORD redeems the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
