If the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
The above, from Matthew 24:43, is the LORD telling of His coming; the verse before saying, “Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your LORD does come.”
The logic in these verses is self-explanatory. The thief is only known to have come after the house is “broken up.” Using the Greek word diorusso, only used three other times, the LORD tells us precisely what He is referencing. Its meaning is to dig through, alluding to Ezekiel 12 where the LORD tells the son of man (Ezekiel – who God strengthens) to dig through the wall (of lies upon lies – the house built upon confusion, without form, with stones of emptiness, and void) in the sight of His people. When he does, the people don’t know what it means until he’s carried everything out.
The verse before these (in Matthew 24) tell of those who are taken and those who are left, after the house is broken up (digged through)
Ezekiel 12
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword [this word of God against those who resist and oppose it], from the famine [the weakening that comes without eating this word of God – His flesh and blood], and from the pestilence [the dis-ease that comes from following advice (ways and ideas) other than God’s good leading – now manifested in the end delusion of the COVID HOAX]; that they may declare all their abominations [the ideas and ways with which they replaced God] among the heathen [those who remain, telling those who don’t know God, or have forgotten Him, who He is and of His work now in action in the world to save them] whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Friends, in the name of the LORD, I tell you, this IS marvelously now fulfilled before the eyes of God’s people, and they refuse to see it, even after it’s explained in detail.
Matthew 23
36 Truly I say unto you, All these things shall [have] come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and stones them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, You shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, “Blessed is he that comes in the name of the LORD.”
Ezekiel 12
1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
3 Therefore, you son of man, prepare you stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and you shall remove from your place to another place in their sight [from one nation, old and corrupt, to a new heaven and earth, a nation wherein dwells righteousness]: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
4 Then shall you bring forth your stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and you shall go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
5 Dig you through the wall [of lies] in their sight, and carry out thereby.
6 In their sight shall you bear it upon your shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight [when the church’s understanding departing from the earth]: you shall cover your face [My presence in you {in me as a thief} shall not be known], that you see not the ground [they shall not understand the place is Babylon, and they are Israel therein]: for I have set you for a sign unto the house of Israel.
7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand [this work of penetrating the lies that separate God’s people from Him]; I brought it forth in the twilight [as the understanding departed the earth], and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
8 And in the morning came [the light came, understanding into the darkness] the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
9 Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto you, What do you?
10 Say you unto them, Thus saith the LORD God; This burden concerning the prince [who is the coming king, the ONE BODY of Christ] in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
11 Say, I am your sign [Isaiah 8:18, I and the children the LORD has given are for signs and wonders in Israel]: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them [and their house shall be left unto them desolate, until they say, “Blessed is he that comes in the name of the LORD”]: they shall remove [be taken away with their lies and misleading] and go into captivity.
12 And the prince [I AM] that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face [the coming king shall hide his presence as thief digging through a wall of lies], that he see not the ground with his eyes [not seeing as the old world sees, the ONE BODY not understanding we are Israel].
13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon [the confusion, mass delusion, that now rules the world] to the land of the Chaldeans [among those who rule by deception, their words meant to manipulate, control, and destroy all who follow them]; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die [has been led into death] there.
14 And I will scatter toward every wind [of false doctrines – bad ideas and worthless prescriptions {just one more jab – known liars telling the same known lie, justifying it by the previous lie proven as a lie, and the ignorant, the cowards, and insane keep following}] all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword [this good advice, truth, they refuse, again choosing ignorance, fear, and insanity] after them.
15 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
16 But I will leave a few men [My elect remnant who are MEN {as Jasher} in right minds, not fearful, and understanding the truth] of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
17 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 Son of man, [let the LORD of hosts be your fear], eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with carefulness;
19 And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the LORD God of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment [because this good word of God is to them a foreign language, because they are accustomed to lies], that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall [as a broke up house] be desolate; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
21 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
22 Son of man, what is that proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?
23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the LORD God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24 For there shall be no more any vain [worthless] vision nor flattering [feel good lies] divination within the house of Israel.
25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the LORD God.
26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying.
27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesies of the times that are far off.
28 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the LORD God; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the LORD God.
Friends, this is the reality, no matter who does or doesn’t believe it. These men, wicked misleaders, are misleading the world into self-destruction to remake it in their evil image. They will not stop, nor will they ever repent. They must be exposed and destroyed by the light. Will you open your mouth and stop them? The world needs to know the LORD is here, as promised, in the light: understanding that saves the world.
Ezekiel 3
4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get you unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
5 For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;
6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have hearkened unto you.
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto you; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
8 Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
11 And go, get you to them of the captivity, unto the children of your people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the LORD God; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
12 Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.
Zechariah 7 [those who “remember”{zikrown} Jehovah]
4 Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did you at all fast unto me, even to me?
6 And when you did eat, and when you did drink, did not you eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
7 Should you not hear the words which the LORD has cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?
8 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,
9 Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts has sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
Zechariah 6
8 Then cried he upon me, and spoke unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
10 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai [worldly], of Tobijah [to whom Jehovah is good {not a misleader}], and of Jedaiah [who Jehovah has known], which are come from Babylon [out of confusion], and come you the same day, and go into the house of Josiah [who Jehovah heals] the son of Zephaniah [by Jehovah’s hidden treasures {this word}];
11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua [Jehovah’s Salvation personified] the son of Josedech [who is Jehovah’s righteousness], the high priest;
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule [mashal] upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both [the one who is both king and priest].
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem [strength], and to Tobijah [to whom Jehovah is good {not a misleader}], and to Jedaiah [who Jehovah has known], and to Hen [favor and grace] the son of Zephaniah [by Jehovah’s hidden treasures {this word that was carried away into Shinar}], for a memorial [zikrown, meaning “a memento (or memorable thing, day or writing)” – the things of the storehouse remembered and “restored”] in the temple of the LORD.
15 And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
The word zikrown refers us to what is written in Malachi 3:16, where it is rendered “remembrance.”
Malachi 3
8 Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse: for you have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10 Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse [these treasure into the churches called by My name, unto those sleeping in ignorance caused by my spirit there quieted, after the treasure, these words were carried away into Shinar, the place of the sleep], that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, says the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a delightsome land, says the LORD of hosts.
13 Your words have been stout against me, says the LORD. Yet you say, What have we spoken so much against you?
14 You have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work [‘asah] wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance [zikrown – reminding of the things forgotten] was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up [‘asah – do My work upon] my jewels [My people who are My crown – as opposed to the piercing, the crown of thorns placed there by the misleaders – Zechariah 9:16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign {a sign in heaven, upon the one they pierced} upon his land.]; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.
18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.
Luke 6
43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither does a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
46 And why call you me, LORD, LORD, and do not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever comes to me, and heareth my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like:
48 He is like a man which built a house, and digged deep, and laid [tithemi] the foundation [themelios] on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded [themellioo] upon a rock.
49 But he that heareth, and does not, is like a man that without a foundation built a house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
The other times the word diorusso appears are once in Luke giving the same warning, and twice, in Matthew 6:19 & 20, telling of the foundation spoken of above. The latter describes the treasures which can (earthly) and (heavenly – full understanding) cannot be taken by the thief.
Matthew 6
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
18 That you appear not unto men to fast, but unto your Father which is in secret: and your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you openly.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust do corrupt, and where thieves break through [diorusso] and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through [diorusso] nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light [understanding] of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single [sees as ONE BODY, as God sees], your whole [ONE] body shall be full of light [understanding].
23 But if your eye be evil [and misleads the flock], your whole body shall be full of darkness [of ignorance]. If therefore the light [understanding] that is in you be darkness [ignorance], how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters [teachers – controlling ideas]: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God [truth, heavenly treasures that come through Him only] and mammon [lust for earthly treasures].
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them [as the woman in the wilderness, see Revelation 12:6]. Are you not much better than they [and so, Your Father now feeds you as promised, with these heavenly treasures]?
The word “treasures” above is from the Greek word thesauros, meaning “a deposit, i.e. wealth (literally or figuratively):–treasure.” It’s derived from the word tithemi, which means to place.
The two Greek words are used to tell of the LORD’s presence, revealed in His work revealing His treasures in the son declared by the Father (NOW) at His time, which Only He knows.
2 Corinthians 4
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light [the understanding] of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure [thesauros] in earthen vessels [our flesh bodies], that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the LORD Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our [flesh] body.
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; [so awaken from your sleep and likewise open your mouth and speak!]
14 Knowing that he which raised up the LORD Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us [we who are alive and remain] with [in ONE BODY] you [who are sleeping in Christ].
Ephesians 5
8 For you were sometimes darkness [sleeping in ignorance], but now are you light in the LORD: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the LORD.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness [of ignorance], but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret [the lies that hide the truth].
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light [this understanding]: for whatsoever does make manifest is light [is understanding].
14 Wherefore he says, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light [understanding].
15 See then that you walk circumspectly [in perfect understanding], not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
The word “redeeming” is the Greek word exagorazo, said to mean “to buy up.” It is actually compounded from three words, ex, meaning origin, as in from; agora, meaning to gather, as in to buy in the marketplace [of ideas]; and zoe, life. It above speaks of buying this generation (time), paying the price to purchase it from the place where it is bought and sold, by these treasures we have in earthen vessels (our flesh where God has deposited them).
2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily [from their own imaginations] shall bring in damnable [apoleia] heresies, even denying the LORD that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction [apoleia].
2 And many shall follow their pernicious [apoleia] ways; by reason of whom the WAY OF TRUTH shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation [apoleia] slumbers not.
Colossians 2
1 For I would that you knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 In whom are hid all the treasures [thesauros] of wisdom and knowledge.
4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the LORD, so walk you in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments [stoicheion – elements, the corrupt ideas of men, which they call treasure] of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also you are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who has raised him from the dead.
The name Colossians, Kolossaeus in Greek, is from the word kollao, meaning “from kolla (“glue”); to glue, i.e. (passively or reflexively) to stick (figuratively):–cleave, join (self), keep company.”
The word kollao is meant to refer us to its use in the once used Greek word kollourion, which is rendered “eyesalve” in Revelation 3:18. There it is the LORD speaking to the Laodicean church (spoken of in verse 1 above) telling it to anoint their eyes with eyesalve, to join their eyes with His, to see as He sees.
Revelation 18
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you wert cold or hot.
16 So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue you out of my mouth.
17 Because you sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not [because you are sleeping in ignorance] that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you mayest be rich [with heavenly treasures of understanding and life]; and white raiment, that you mayest be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eyesalve [kollourion], that you mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent [the cry of Jonah].
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me [joined in ONE BODY].
21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Paul used the word kallao twice in 1 Corinthians 6, first in telling of the one body of those who’ve “joined” with the harlot (the mystery of confusion, Babylon). They are the eighth church (See Revelation 17:10 & 11), one with all the world in confusion, which comes by joining with men (spiritual fornication and adultery) who put themselves and their ideas in God’s place.
The word is then used saying, those who’ve “joined” the LORD (after hearing and then seeing His work – by re-cognizing His Spirit leading and reminding us of all truth) are ONE BODY (“One Spirit”).
1 Corinthians 6
1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust [this world in confusion by reversing evil and good], and not before the saints [those with the LORD in His ONE BODY]?
2 Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4 If then you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church [in the now fallen church, because he is the greatest in the LORD’s eyes].
5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6 But brother goes to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers [who don’t believe God is in you, because He is not in them.
7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because you go to law one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded [see that you defraud others with your false doctrines]?
8 Nay, you do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9 Know you not that the unrighteous [those whose ideas and ways have left the LORD to follow and join with men who put themselves in His place] shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators [those joining with these men], nor idolaters, nor adulterers [who have left God for these men], nor effeminate [and have become as women], nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous [who call such doctrine “social justice”], nor drunkards [whose mind are altered into lunacy by consuming these intoxicant doctrines], nor revilers [feasting with us spewing out their shame], nor extortioners [who put you under tribute, taxes and tithes, claiming this robbery is “fairness”], shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but you are washed [by this word of God], but you are sanctified [you are separated from such men and ideas, and joined with the LORD], but you are justified in the name of the LORD Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God [the LORD when he was unknown, leading you into the truth, and into His kingdom, which is His ONE BODY].
12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any [and thereby separated from the LORD].
13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats [Philippians 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven {the place of full understanding}; from whence also we look for the Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious {ONE} body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.]: but God shall destroy both it [their worldly ways, belly and meat] and them. Now the body is not for fornication [not for joining with men and their ideas], but for [joining with] the LORD; and the LORD for the body.
14 And God has both raised up the LORD, and will also raise up us by his own power.
15 Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot [the corrupt eighth church who has sold herself to gain the souls of men]? God forbid.
16 What? know you not that he which is joined [kollao] to a harlot [mystery Babylon, the mother of harlots] is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined [kallao] unto the LORD is one spirit [Christ in us, His ONE BODY].
18 Flee fornication [flee joining with men who are not joined with the LORD by His Spirit]. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sin against his own body [because he condemns himself by joining instead with men who’ve put themselves in God’s place].
19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown in us – until He manifests His presence, making Himself known, at His will, in a day only He knows and chooses, by His word and works] which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?
20 For you are bought [agorazo] with a price [time – redeemed by His work and word in Tim]: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. [Philippians 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven {the place of full understanding}; from whence also we look for the Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious {ONE} body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.]
1 Corinthians 3
7 So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase.
8 Now he that plants and he that waters are one [BODY]: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are laborers together [joined] with God: you are God’s husbandry, you are God’s building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid [tithemi] the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ [the LORD in us working and speaking His Salvation].
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day [of the LORD, when His light has come] shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire [which shall melt away the corrupt words and work of men]; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is [God’s or man’s].
14 If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If any man defiles the temple of God [the minds of men], him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written [in Job 5:13], He takes the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again [Psalms 94:11], The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men.
Jeremiah 9
20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
22 Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcasses of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.
23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercises lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
The word tithemi (theo) is the word used to tell us the LORD “laid down” His life, as we should “lay down” ours, to “lay” the foundation stone, Christ in us doing the work, to create the new heaven and earth, wherein dwells righteousness. It’s used to tell us of His coming, appearing at His will, once the Father has “made” his enemies his footstool.
1 Corinthians 15
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
24 Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he has put [tithemi] all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he has put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all [His Glory manifested in His ONE BODY].
Hebrews 1
8 But unto the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
10 And, You, LORD, in the beginning have laid [themelioo – a derivative of tithemi] foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:
11 They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make [tithemi] your enemies your footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrews 10
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do your will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
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 [tithemi] his footstool.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever 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 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 an 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.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [into ONE BODY], as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day [of the LORD, when His light has come] approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation [melting away the corruption], which shall devour the adversaries [making them His footstool].
1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby:
3 If so be you have tasted that the LORD is gracious.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay [tithemi] in Zion a chief corner [gonia – pinnah] stone [to bring us into the new heaven and earth, His kingdom and new nation therein], elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded [the end shall be reached for those who believe the LORD is in him {me} bringing it to reality].
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous [eye opening] light;
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly [worldly] lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Therefore, Job 5
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
9 Which does great things and unsearchable; marvelous [eye opening] things without number:
10 Who gives rain [this word from heaven] upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields [to bring life from the earth]:
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
12 He disappoints the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward [those who twist and pervert truth] is carried headlong.
14 They meet with darkness [ignorance] in the day time [because they reject the light when it has come], and grope in the noonday as in the night.
15 But he saves the poor from the sword, from their [deceitful] mouth, and from the hand [the evil works] of the mighty.
16 So the poor has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correct: therefore despise not you the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he makes sore, and binds up: he wounds, and his hands make whole.
Psalms 94
1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs; O God, to whom vengeance belongs, show yourself.
2 Lift up yourself, you judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things [‘athaq – “which speak ‘grievous things’ proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.” Psalms 31:18]? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces [daka’] your people [destroying the ONE BODY – the “bruising” {daka’} of Isaiah 53:5 & 10], O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless [unborn].
7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Understand, you brutish among the people: and you fools, when will you be wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that chastises the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teaches man knowledge, shall not he know? [“For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart {the foundational mind} of the contrite ones {daka’}.” Isaiah 57:15]
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teaches him out of your law;
13 That you mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by a law?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
