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.
Friends, as I write, a blood moon eclipse is occurring and dropping below the horizon in the southwest sky. As we know, the blood moon represents an oppressive civil government draining life from those it rules over. In God’s word, this omen is often prefaced by telling of the sun becoming dark, another similar sign of the season, depicting God’s people without understanding (without light). These descriptions are the opposite of what God created them for: to shine His light, understanding (His knowledge and wisdom) through those ruling the day, through His people (His church – one body) with true justice and equity. When this light is in them, the moon reflects the same light, proliferating His ways and ideas, creating true security and sustainable civilization.
Obviously, the US government is now draining life from its people and dropping below the horizon into complete darkness. This descent began with the church losing its light, preaching ways and ideas created by each of its many (self-righteous) splintered sects. Proud in their conceit, becoming fools, having their conscience seared (as if) with a hot iron, they are unable to recognize the signs and seasons as they’ve changed before their eyes, and are equally as blind and deaf to the Father’s calling them back into His kingdom. WAKE UP!
1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6 If you put the brethren in remembrance of these things, you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto you have attained.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself rather unto godliness.
8 For bodily exercise profits little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10 For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, specially of those that believe.
11 These things command and teach.
12 Let no man despise your youth; but be you an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Till I come [erchomai], give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in you, which was given you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them; that your profiting may appear to all.
16 Take heed unto yourself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this you shall both save yourself, and them that hear you.
The word describing the Spirit speaking “expressly,” in verse 1 above, is the once used word rhetos, meaning “out-spokenly, i.e. distinctly.” It’s from the word rheo, a prolonged form of ereo, a word we’ve seen used (as part of the word erchomai) describing the LORD’s coming.
The Strong’s Greek Dictionary gives the definition of rheo as, “perhaps akin (or identical) with 4482 [rheo – to flow] (through the idea of pouring forth); to utter, i.e. speak or say.”
The identical word (#4482: rheo) only appears once, in John 7:38, the LORD saying of those who believe He is speaking, through me and then through us: “He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow [rheo] rivers of living water.”
Of the twenty-six times the other form of rheo is used, all tell of the LORD God speaking, through the prophets. This is the gift the LORD has given me first: in me to manifest His presence, from behind the veil of this wretched flesh. It’s what Paul is speaking of above, to me specifically, to first understand, “for in doing this you shall both save yourself, and them that hear you.”
The description of the Father, God manifesting Himself at His will, is what Paul defines in the verses directly preceding the above chapter. I am the one He sent on this mission, to speak deliberately of His presence and salvation come.
1 Timothy 3
…and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14 These things write I unto you, hoping to come [erchomai] unto you shortly:
15 But if I tarry long, that you may know how you ought to behave yourself in the house of God, which is the church [the one body] of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels [His presence understood by those who become His messengers], preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory [as the son of man must be lifted up].
John 7
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ comes [erchomai], no man knows where he is.
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, You both know me, and you know where I am: and I am not come [erchomai] of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom you know not.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he has sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come [erchomai].
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ comes [erchomai], will he do more miracles than these which this man has done?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
34 You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come [erchomai].
35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come [erchomai]?
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come [erchomai] unto me, and drink.
38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow [rheo] rivers of living water.
39 (But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come [erchomai]out of Galilee?
42 Has not the scripture said, That Christ comes [erchomai]of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came [erchomai] the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have you not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are you also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who know not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus [victory of the people at large – the one body that overcomes the world] said unto them, (he that came [erchomai] to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
51 Does our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he does?
52 They answered and said unto him, Are you also of Galilee [part of His inner circle]? Search, and look: for out of Galilee arises no prophet.
53 And every man went unto his own house.
Matthew 28
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee [the inner circle], into a mountain where Jesus had appointed [tasso] them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name [the identity] of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
In Matthew 28:7 & 10, the angel and then the LORD, using the word hopou, tell His people they will “see” Him in Galilee, meaning it’s where they’ll realize it’s Him.
Matthew 28
7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there shall you see [hopou] him: lo, I have told you.
8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see [hopou] me.
The Hebrew name Galilee is from the four times used word galiyl, meaning “a valve or a folding door (as turning); also a ring (as round).” It’s used twice in 1 Kings 6:34 to describe the “folding” of the doors “for entering the oracle,” and in telling of the hand of the beloved, in Song of Solomon 5:14.
In 1 Kings 6, we’re several times told that on these doors are carvings of palm trees and open flowers, from the words timmor and tsiyts, the latter said to mean “glistening, i.e. a burnished plate; also a flower (as bright-colored); a wing (as gleaming in the air).” These are “covered,” from the word tsaphah, meaning overlaid to hide what is beneath. These aspects are intentionally implied meanings, telling of the open door the LORD’s set before those who have met Him in this inner circle, and the “ring” on His hand is where His power is hidden: the valve from where His oracles comes as rays of light.
1 Kings 6
31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
32 The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees [timmor] and open flowers [tsiyts], and overlaid [tsaphah] them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees [timmor – but you can call me Timothy or tim].
33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
34 And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding [galiyl], and the two leaves of the other door were folding [galiyl – Galilee, where the doors to the oracle is open, as an open flower, blossoming].
35 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees [timmor] and open flowers [tsiyts]: and covered [tsaphah] them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
Song of Solomon 5
14 His hands are as gold rings [galiyl] set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
The word “doubted,” in Matthew 28:17, is the word distazo, meaning “to duplicate, i.e. (mentally) to waver (in opinion).” The only other time it appears is in Matthew 14:31, there telling of Peter’s “doubting.”
Matthew 14
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw [eido – saw but didn’t know it was] him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spoke unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, LORD, if it be you, bid me come [erchomai] unto you on the water.
29 And he said, Come [erchomai]. And when Peter was come [erchomai] down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, LORD, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O you of little faith, wherefore did you doubt [distazo]?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came [erchomai] and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth you are the Son of God.
The title is Habakkuk 1:12, which comes in the LORD telling of the Chaldeans who come among us: men taking other men in their nets and God’s nation captive. In verse 11, we’re told of the change that has comes in God’s people, as they “pass over,” which is from the word ‘abar, meaning when God’s word, His salvation, is poured upon the desolate. As we know, the choice presented is the krisis, which separates those who receive it (the saved) from those rejecting it (who perish because they receive not the love of the truth). The verse then tells of those who “offend,” from the word ‘asham, meaning they are found guilty, of what it says is “imputing this his power unto his god.” The word “god” here is ‘illuw, which is used to describe God and the false gods put in His place, each of which where men put their trust.
Habakkuk 1
1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and you will not hear! even cry out unto you of violence, and you will not save!
3 Why do you show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment does never go forth: for the wicked does compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceeds.
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 you [by a man].
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans [those who use their deceptive words to manipulate and control all people], that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling-places that are not theirs [God’s nation].
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves [their own created ways and ideas].
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 [‘illuw, the false rock, in which they trust].
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.
13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and can not look on iniquity: wherefore look you upon them that deal treacherously, and hold your tongue when the wicked devours the man that is more righteous than he?
14 And makes men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
Deuteronomy 32
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the LORD’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste [tohuw] howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, taketh them, bears them on her wings:
12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and you did drink the pure blood of the grape.
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: you are waxen fat, you are grown thick, you are covered with fatness; then he forsook God [‘illuw] which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God [‘illuw]; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat you you are unmindful, and have forgotten God that formed you.
19 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation [which has twisted and perverted truth], children in whom is no faith.
Acts 13
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 17
1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goes not out of feigned [deceitful] lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from your presence [paniym]; let your eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 You have proved mine heart; you have visited me in the night; you have tried me, and shall find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in your paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon you, for you will hear me, O God: incline your ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Show your marvelous lovingkindness, O you that saves by your right hand them which put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9 From [paniym – by your presence save me from] the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint [paniym, show your presence before] him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is your sword:
14 From men which are your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly you filled with your hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold your face [paniym – your presence] in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake [from the deep sleep], with your likeness [the one who is made in the likeness of God, as Michael who stands to raise the stars from the dust of the earth, to again shine].
Psalms 40
1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is that man that makes the LORD his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; mine ears have you opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8 I delight to do your will, O my God: yea, your law is within my heart.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, you know.
10 I have not hid your righteousness within my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation: I have not concealed your lovingkindness and your truth from the great congregation.
11 Withhold not you your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let your lovingkindness and your truth continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart fails me.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
16 Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
17 But I am poor and needy; yet the LORD thinks upon me: you are my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
