The Consummation Decreed: Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today, and forever! Part I
Your prophets have seen vain and foolish things for you: and they have not discovered your iniquity, to turn away your captivity; but have seen for you false burdens and causes of banishment.
The above, Lamentation 2:14, speaks of what prophets do (turn way captivity by discovering iniquity), as opposed to what the false prophets have done (seen, worthless and foolish, false burdens).
Jeremiah, using the one-time used word madduwach, leads us to a deeper understanding of the “cause of banishment.” The LORD refers to the once he (Jeremiah) uses the four-times used Hebrew word duwach, in Jeremiah 51:34, rendered “he has cast me out.”
There it (duwach) is speaking of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, names we know describe the lies of the false prophets that led to the desolation of God’s people, which brought the confusion that now rules over all the world.
Jeremiah 51
33 For thus says the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war], the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon [confusion] is like a threshing-floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest [God’s wrath] shall come.
34 Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me, he has crushed me, he has made me an empty vessel, he has swallowed me up like a dragon [tanniyn – the serpents joined together as leviathan, as whales whose open mouths devour and hold God’s people captive in the belly of hell, as Jonah was there held – Jonah 2:2] he has filled his belly with my delicates, he has cast me out [duwach].
35 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea [those who use their words to deceive, manipulate, and control God’s people], shall Jerusalem say.
36 Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you; and I will dry up her sea [end the words they send to the people at large], and make her springs dry.
45 My people, go you out of the midst of her, and deliver you every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
46 And lest your heart faint, and you fear for the rumor [shmuw’ah – this report, which is sound doctrine, which is heard but not believed – but to those who receive it the arm of the LORD is revealed, and they are in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at His coming] that shall be heard in the land; a rumor [shmuw’ah] shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumor [shmuw’ah], and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
55 Because the LORD has spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon [upon their confusion], and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken [chathath – dismayed]: for the LORD God of recompenses shall surely requite.
57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
The shmuw’ah [hearing from Jehovah Himself], is spoken of three other times by Jeremiah. The first, in Jeremiah 10:22, is in the context of God’s people going “out of the midst of her [Babylon].” This (exodos) is as in Revelation 18:4 when the voice is heard from heaven, the LORD calling His people out of Babylon, as in Jeremiah 50:4 thru 10, when God’s people, leave confusion (Babylon) and seek the LORD their God.
Jeremiah 10
1 Hear you the word [the report] which the LORD speaks unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus says the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed [chathath] at the signs [‘owth] of heaven; for the heathen [who don’t know God] are dismayed [chathath] at them.
17 Gather up your wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
18 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22 Behold, the noise of the bruit [shmuw’ah – the word heard from the mouth of Jehovah] is come, and a great commotion out of the north country [among the ignorant], to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons [tanniyn – mouths filled with venomous words that devours men].
23 O LORD, I know [yada’] that the way [derek] of man is not in himself [if left to himself]: it is not in man that walks [halak] to direct [kuwn – rightly establish] his steps.
24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on your name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
Jeremiah 50
1 The word that the LORD spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans [again the confusion that rules the world and those that spew it from the lying mouths] by Jeremiah the prophet.
2 Declare you among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard [nec – raise the son of man as Moses raised the serpent in the wilderness]; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon [confusion] is taken, Bel [the men as idols you follow] is confounded, Merodach [your rebellion] is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
3 For out of the north [from your ignorance] there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
4 In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.
5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
6 My people has been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting-place.
7 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon [the midst of confusion], and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans [from those who use their lies and false accusation to manipulate and control the world into doing their evil], and be as the he goats before the flocks.
9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country [raised out of their ignorance]: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man [the LORD, who is a man of war]; none shall return [to Me] in vain.
10 And Chaldea [the liars in power] shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, says the LORD.
11 Because you were glad, because you rejoiced, O you destroyers of mine heritage, because you are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all you that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has sinned against the LORD.
15 Shout against her round about: she has given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she has done, do unto her.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handles the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria [communists] has devoured him; and last this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon [the lies of the false prophets, which cause the desolation and the confusion that now rules the world] has broken his bones.
18 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish [paqad – visit] the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished [paqad – visited] the king of Assyria.
19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel [the land that is again become as Eden] and Bashan [and they shall be fruitful], and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim [My people in this generation] and Gilead [this mountain of My testimony].
20 In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
The word above, in verses 2 & 9, telling of when the LORD, with His army, has “taken” Babylon, is lakad, meaning “to catch (in a net, trap or pit); generally, to capture or occupy; also to choose (by lot); figuratively, to cohere.”
It is speaking of when the lukewarm (the Medes) have awakened, come out of confusion’s tribulation, and become the LORD’s great army.
Jeremiah 51
28 Prepare against her [Babylon – confusion] the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
30 The mighty men of Babylon [because of the confusion they are bound in] have forborne to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might has failed; they became as women [weak and in fear]: they have burned her dwelling-places; her bars [that held God’s people in darkness] are broken.
31 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken [lakad – in the LORD’s net] at one end [the end of the old corrupt world under their control],
32 And that the passages [into hell by their open mouths] are stopped, and the reeds [what have grown in the mire of their confusion] they have burned with fire, and the men of war are [as women] affrighted.
Revelation 18
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she has filled fill to her double.
7 How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the LORD God who judges her.
Revelation 7
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 19
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword [this Word of God], that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And LORD Of Lords.
The “rod of iron” spoken of above, ultimately refers us to 2 Kings 6:6 as it is associated with Exodus 15:25. The latter tells of the “tree” (‘ets) the LORD showed Moses and told him to cast it into the bitter waters. In 2 Kings 6, it’s the “stick” (‘ets) the “man of God” said to cast into the Jordan, which caused the iron to swim. The word there rendered swim is tsuwph, meaning “to overflow:–(make to over-)flow, swim.” It (tsuwph – only used two other times, rendered “overflow” and “flow”) is telling of the iron covering the “branch,” and making it the “rod of iron” (rising above the waters, words, carrying all into death) in the hand of the hewer.
In Exodus 15, we are told of the tree cast into the bitter waters making them sweet, after Moses sang (wrote as given) the song unto the LORD, which begins with telling of throwing the oppressors into the sea, wherein the LORD has triumphed over them. He is the tree cast into the waters, and by His strength (His words as the sweetness of honey, the word of God from His mouth, as a man of war), He makes the waters drinkable for His people again.
Exodus 15
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider has he thrown into the sea.
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host has he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Your right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: your right hand, O LORD, has dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of your excellency you have overthrown them that rose up against you: you sent forth your wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 You did blow with your wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto you, O LORD, among the gods? who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
The words of the enemies, devil’s (the misleader’s mixed among us saying they are of us) lies and false accusations against the Word of God and the truth that is self-evident in (the experience of) our time, are the waters of the sea separated. They are those now awakening God’s people, the lukewarm who chose the waters above, as the earth itself (the experience of the moment – now most evident in the televised fictitious spectacle, the delusions of the Satanists) swallows up the flood of their evil words.
(FYI: they, the wicked in the deep state, the true insurrectionists who were in the process of overthrowing the sitting and reelected president, conspired and colluded to orchestrate, put on a show, act one of a delusion they produced to reverse define it as reality. They are known liars telling known lies, false accusers falsely accusing the innocent of doing what they’ve done. The only people they are fooling are themselves and the ignorant who blindly follow them and “the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”)
Revelation 12
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil [the misleaders doing Satan’s work] is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time. [See Romans 9:28 below]
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle [given strength by the words of those already strengthened], that she might fly [by this same strength, out of confusion] into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times [until the deep sleep is ended], and half a time [and the time and season are rightly divided: understood], from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood [poisonous words of deception] after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away [into death and hell] of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up [by understanding the experience of the moment] the flood which the dragon [the serpent in the sea, devouring any who follow his leading] cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Romans 9
13 As it is written, Jacob [God’s people, he predestined to be the heirs of salvation, who now awaken to it our their lukewarm sleep] have I loved [agapao – given my word to save him], but Esau [the devils among my people, claiming to be their countrymen and brothers, while at war with them to destroy the nation and culture] have I hated [those called the Nikolaitanes in Revelation 2:5 & 15, the name meaning they are the destroyers of God’s people].
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16 So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.
17 For the scripture says unto Pharaoh [the house of the opressors], Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 Therefore has he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
19 You will say then unto me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted [Satan] his will?
20 Nay but, O man, who are you that replies [murmurs and chides] against God? Shall the thing form say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?
21 Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor [from who we must be purged – 2 Timothy 2:21]?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared [predestined to inherit salvation] unto glory,
24 Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As he says also in Hosea [2:23 – when God’s people hear Jezreel, those He’s sown in the earth, the seed below in verse 29, the first fruits, the elect remnant who call the sleeping body to awakes and come out of tribulation], I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 Isaiah [in Isaiah 10:22 & 23] also cries concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved [first – see Isaiah 10 below]:
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the LORD make upon the earth.
29 And as Isaiah said before, Except the LORD of Sabaoth [who is a man of war] had left us a seed [the elect remnant – who He raised to sow His word to those He’s predestined to be the heirs of Salvation], we had been as Sodom, and been made like unto Gomorrah.
Revelation 7
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation [thlipsis], and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb [which purged them away from the misleaders among them].
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sits on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Isaiah 10
1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed [these are the decrees of the wicked now in power, claiming they are for our good while in experience they are destroying lives, livelihoods, our nation, and better culture];
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows [those whose men are the dead among us] may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless [without a fearless man to protect them]!
3 And what will you do in the day of visitation [pquddah], and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory?
These wicked decrees are opposed to the right decrees then spoken of in Isaiah 10:22 & 23, which give us the meaning of Daniel 9:26 & 27, and what (the LORD pouring His strength upon us, anointing us with His understanding overflowing the wickedness of these deceivers) ends the war desolations.
Isaiah 10
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the [elect] remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of [the sleep of] the house of Jacob [the people at large, still sleeping], shall no more again stay upon him that smote them [with lies and confusion]; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The [elect] remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption [killayown – only appearing here and in Deuteronomy 28:65, there saying it’s the “falling” of eyes, the sorrow of mind, and the fearfulness, the LORD says will come from following false gods mixed among His people] decreed [charats] shall overflow [shataph] with righteousness.
23 For the LORD God of hosts [who is a man of war] shall make a consumption [kalah], even determined [charats], in the midst of all the land [all the earth].
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, O my people that dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian [the communists]: he shall smite you with a rod [shebet – the scepter in his hand, the wicked in power ruling us into destruction], and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
We are told, in Isaiah 28, what is determined (charats): the decree “overflowing” us with the LORD’s righteousness, His strength covering us as the “rod of iron” the scepter in His hand.
Isaiah 28
2 Behold, the LORD has a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing [shataph], shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing [shataph] scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste [run away in shame].
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow [shataph] the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing [shataph] scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it [as straw into the dunghill].
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – this sound doctrine heard from the mouth of God].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a [sleeping] man can stretch himself on it [making the sleep uncomfortable for the lukewarm]: and the covering [of lies] narrower than that he can wrap [hide] himself in it.
21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim [as waters breaking forth upon David’s enemies], he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon [when His hail, His word frozen in heaven, is sent to destroy the enemies, the current crop of corrupt leaders], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act [righteousness: judgment and mercy – which to a wicked world are strange].
22 Now, therefore, be you not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD God of hosts a consumption [kalah – a full end: completion], even determined [charats] upon the whole earth.
23 Give you ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech [believe this report, hear it as it is, the Word of God from His mouth].
Daniel 9
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince [of darkness] that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war [you must accept this truth, it is these enemies mixed among warring against God’s people, to eradicate, make a fell end, of US] desolations are determined [charats – decreed in Deuteronomy 28:65].
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation [kalah], and that determined [charats – the decree] shall be poured upon the desolate.
Isaiah 40
21 Have you not known? have you not heard? has it not been told you from the beginning? have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he that sits upon the circle [the end of the corrupt and beginning the new] of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretches out the heavens [His understanding] as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he makes the judges of the earth as vanity.
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the [new] earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind [from where the word of the LORD God Almighty is heard] shall take them away as stubble.
25 To whom then will you liken me, or shall I be equal? says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one fails.
27 Why sayest you, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the [the end of the old and beginning the new] earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
The three times used word rendered “swim” (tsuwph) is rendered “overflow” in Deuteronomy 11:4, and “flow” in Lamentations 3:54. The first tells of the waters of the Red sea overflowing the enemy army pursuing us; the second describes the ways of this wicked army, the mouths of dragons from which the LORD delivers us.
Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep his charge [“according to the prophecies which went before on you, that you by them might war a good warfare” 1 Timothy 1:18], and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always.
2 And know you this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement [this correction] of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land [as He has done to those oppressing us here and now];
4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow [tsuwph] them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD has destroyed them unto this day;
5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until you came into this place;
6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram [the fountains from who flowed the bitter waters, murmuring against God’s chosen, exalting their words above His], the sons of Eliab [who act as if their father, who put himself in his father’s place, should rule and be followed as a god], the son of Reuben [the prince who is the pattern of the son of perdition, from whom the scepter is taken]: how the earth opened her mouth [the events, the experience of these days on the earth], and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.
8 Therefore shall you keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither you go to possess it;
9 And that you may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD swore unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed [He has sown into the earth], a land that flows with milk and honey [the word of God nourishing and giving strength].
