Whereas Edom says, “We are impoverished, but we will return and build [back better] the desolate places;” thus says the LORD of hosts, “They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD has indignation forever.”
Whereas Edom says, “We are impoverished, but we will return and build [back better] the desolate places;” thus says the LORD of hosts, “They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD has indignation forever.”
The above is Malachi 1:4, wherein the LORD speaks of when the enemies mixed among us returned to [vote frauded their way into] power, and are saying they will “Build Back Better.” As we understand, these enemies [as Esau the LORD hates] are our countrymen and brothers, who claim they are at peace with us while attacking and destroying us, our nation, and our better culture.
What these wicked men are building is human devolution, a retrograde (as the sun moving backward ten degrees), which the LORD is using to reset the foundations of the earth. As we’ve seen in previous posts, when the sun moved backward ten degrees, it’s speaking of resetting the degenerate leadership (of the kings of God’s people), which began with Rehoboam.
We know this erosion began when the people of Israel (the ten northern tribes) asked the new king to relieve some of the burden accumulated under Solomon’s rule. Rehoboam then, rejecting the advice of those who advised his father (Solomon), consulted the young men he grew up with. They (the young and ignorant self-centered elites) advised him to not only refuse to reduce the burden, but to increase it, saying “My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”
As we know, This event (increasing the burden) caused the separation (unyoking) of Judah and Israel. (Deviating only in that the advice is now from old and corrupt opportunists) it is the pattern of what occurred in and since the last presidential election, and the ignorant who advised it can’t understand why the nation is more divided.
The retrograde is (now) to the time (before the ten kings of the degeneration and desolation) of Solomon-like leadership and the repair of the breach in the house (family – one king over one nation under God) of David.
Job 32
7 I said, Days should speak, and a multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
The wicked in power build with lies and delusion, misleading false teaching from false prophets who see nothing, who are shocked and astounded when insanity, systemic destruction, and death, the fruits they’ve sown, are the fruits they reap.
Jeremiah 23
16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD has said, You shall have peace; and they say unto everyone that walks after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18 For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD, and has perceived and heard his word? who has marked his word, and heard it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return until he has executed, and till he has performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days you shall consider it perfectly.
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23 Am I a God at hand, says the LORD, and not a God afar off [coming in this latter time to set right the foundations of the world]?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? says the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? says the LORD.
Matthew 11
15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and you have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and you have not lamented.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom [where the fired ended] in the day of judgment, than for you [because the fires of hell, where you remain, will never be quenched].
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
The Companion Bible separates the book of Malachi into two parts, Malachi 1:1 thru 5, describing “National Election,” and Malachi 1:6 thru 4:6, “National Rejection.” The first tells of choosing (electing to follow) leaders the LORD hates, who, as Esau, rule His people in their desolation and hold them (in church and state) there in misery and ignorance. (As did the many named Herod, children, descents of Esau; appointed by Rome as kings over Judaea.)
Malachi 1:4 speaks of the “border of wickedness” the LORD has “thrown down,” and says in verse 5, “And your eyes [at the end of wickedness] shall see, and you shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border [reestablishment] of Israel.”
The word rendered “throw down” is the Hebrew word harac, meaning “a primitive root; to pull down or in pieces, break, destroy.”
The word rendered “border” in verses 4 & 5 is gbuwl, meaning “a cord (as twisted), i.e. (by implication) a boundary; by extension, the territory inclosed.”
The word used to tell of the LORD “magnified” when He throws down the wicked and reestablishes His nation is gadal, meaning “to twist (compare 1434), i.e. to be (causatively make) large (in various senses, as in body, mind, estate or honor, also in pride).”
These words tell of a release (harac) from the heavy burdens of the wicked to who we are yokes (gbuwl), and becoming instead yoked (gadal) to the LORD in His ONE BODY.
Malachi 1
6 A son honors his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honor? and if I be a master, where is my fear? says the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And you say, Wherein have we despised your name?
7 You offer polluted bread [the whole body of My word you’ve corrupted] upon mine altar; and you say, Wherein have we polluted you? In that you say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.
8 And if you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if you offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto your governor; will he be pleased with you, or accept your person? says the LORD of hosts.
9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this has been by your means: will he regard your persons [who offer the blind, those off course, and in constant agitation]? says the LORD of hosts.
10 Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for naught [when the LORD is entering]? neither do you kindle fire on mine altar for naught [when what you offer is unacceptable]. I have no pleasure in you, says the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, says the LORD of hosts.
12 But you have profaned it, in that you say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
13 You said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and you have snuffed at it, says the LORD of hosts; and you brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus you brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? says the LORD.
14 But cursed be the deceiver, which has in his flock a male, and vows, and sacrifices unto the LORD a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, says the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war], and my name is dreadful among the heathen.
Malachi 2
1 And now, O you priests, this commandment is for you.
2 If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, says the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart.
3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
4 And you shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
7 For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
8 But you are departed out of the way; you have caused many to stumble at the law; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as you have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
10 Have we not all one father? has not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
11 Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and has married the daughter of a strange god.
12 The LORD will cut off the man that does this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offers an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
13 And this have you done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regards not the offering any more, or receives it with good will at your hand.
14 Yet you say, Wherefore? Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously: yet is she your companion, and the wife of your covenant.
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, says that he hates putting away: for one covers violence with his garment, says the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that you deal not treacherously.
17 You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, Wherein have we wearied him? When you say, Everyone that does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
Malachi 3
1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war].
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, says the LORD of hosts.
6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.
7 Even from the days of your fathers you are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says the LORD of hosts. But you said, Wherein shall we return?
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, 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 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 [this word] of remembrance 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 my jewels; 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.
Malachi 4
1 For, behold, the day comes, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that comes shall burn them up, says the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arises with healing in his wings; and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, says the LORD of hosts.
4 Remember you the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers [see chapter 1, verse 6 above], lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
The LORD began today (wrote the portion above yesterday) in Ecclesiastes 3. His message is we need to understand the time (season) and not lose our joy in His glory (through us) manifested.
Ecclesiastes 3
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 What profit has he that works in that wherein he labors? [The profit is joy! Finding the happiness we pursue – for ourselves and others.]
10 I have seen the travail [‘inyan – the work that humbles us by understanding only He reveals the hidden deep meaning, at His will], which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised [‘anah {the origin of ‘inyah} so we can appropriately respond {knowing the time} as necessary] in it.
11 He has made every thing beautiful [yapheh, from yaphah, to be bright {God given understanding}] in his time: also he has set [nathan – given {the foundations of}] the world in their heart [in their minds], so that no man can find out [matsa’ ‘eth – attain by self – without God’s revealing it] the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is no good in them [in the works of men without God’s revelation], but for a man to rejoice [find joy and happiness in His work through us], and to do good [which only comes from God] in his life.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God.
14 I know that, whatsoever God does, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God does it, that men should fear before him.
15 That which has been is now; and that which is to be has already been [the foundation that was laid is the foundation now again laid]; and God requires [baqash – to search out, strive after] that which is past.
16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts [without His Spirit in them, evidenced by ignorance of Him and His way].
19 For that which befalls the sons of men [without His Spirit] befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man has no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity [all the ways of man without God’s Spirit are worthless and lead to death].
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again [the ruin of the world they sent to hell].
21 Who knows the spirit of man [who is led by The Spirit of God in Him] that goes upward, and the spirit of the beast [evil without God] that goes downward to the earth [into the belly of hell they create]?
22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice [have joy and happiness] in his own works; for that is his portion [the inheritance he lays up for His children]: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him [returning to {born into} the world they’ve created – heaven or hell]?
This (return) is the “estate of the sons of men,” that God manifests (see verse 18 above) for us to understand. The word “estate” is the five times used Hebrew word dibrah, said to mean “a reason, suit or style:–cause, end, estate, order, regard.”
It’s the word used in Psalms 110:4 to describe the perpetual son of God, who is a priest forever, after the “order” of Melchizedek (the king of righteousness and peace).
It (dibrah) is from the Hebrew word dabar, meaning “from 1696; a word; by implication, a matter (as spoken of) or thing; adverbially, a cause.” It’s from an almost identical word babar, meaning “to arrange; but used figuratively (of words), to speak; rarely (in a destructive sense) to subdue.”
These speak of the words of men, rightly ordered bringing life, even after death, and of the wicked (deluded, confused, misleading, and insane) bringing death and everlasting hell.
Matthew 12
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost [the LORD speaking and working unknown], it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
Ecclesiastes 7
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun [Resurrection into a time of understanding].
12 For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom gives life to them that have it.
13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he has made crooked [the wicked the LORD has bound in their own ignorance]?
14 In the day of prosperity be joyful [when God’s glory is manifested in His people], but in the day of adversity consider: God also has set the one over against the other, to the end [dibrah] that [crooked] man should find nothing after him.
Job 5
7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward [ben resheph ‘uwph gabahh – as the children enflamed rise and are exalted].
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause [dibrah – the order into which I will rise]:
9 Which does great things and unsearchable; marvelous [opening our eyes to these] things without number:
10 Who gives rain [this word of God] upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields [that life grows]:
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
12 He disappoints the devices [the things they’ve contrived and planned] of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13 He takes the wise in their own craftiness [quoted in 1 Corinthians 3:19 below] : and the counsel of the froward [those who twist and pervert truth] is carried headlong.
14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
15 But he saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not you the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he makes sore, and binds up: he wounds, and his hands make whole.
1 Corinthians 3
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the [new] day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
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, 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, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain [worthless].
Ecclesiastes 8
1 Who is as the wise man? and who knows the interpretation of a thing? a man’s wisdom makes his face to shine [the LORD presence manifested in him giving understanding], and the boldness [‘oz – first used in Exodus 15:2] of his face shall be changed.
2 I counsel you to keep the king’s commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.
3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil [misleading] thing; for he does whatsoever pleaseth him.
4 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What do you?
5 Whoso keeps the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.
6 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
7 For he knows not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
8 There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither has he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
Exodus 15
2 The LORD is my strength [‘oz – my boldness] 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.
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.
13 You in your mercy have led forth the people which you have redeemed: you have guided them in your strength [‘oz – by boldly speaking] unto your holy habitation.
Ephesians 6
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt [the preparation] about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness [equal justice for all, without respect of person];
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace [the way of sustainable civilization: not putting your neighbor under threat: reciprocal security in/of life, liberty, and property];
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith [believing God is with us and in us], wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts [lies and false accusations] of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation [as the priority protecting and hardening your mind], and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints [who with you are equipped to stand against the wicked];
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak [this understanding of the word of God, as fire from my mouth].
Hebrews 6
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil [understanding the presence of God in his flesh];
20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews 7
1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abides a priest continually.
Hebrews 10
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
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 forever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he has perfected 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, says 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 a high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with [these] 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, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day 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, which shall devour the adversaries.
Jeremiah 31
31 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was a husband unto them, says the LORD:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, says the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
35 Thus says the LORD, which gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night [that are for signs and seasons], which divides the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:
36 If those ordinances depart from before me, says the LORD, then the seed of Israel [in America] also shall cease from being a nation before me forever.
Psalms 110
1 The LORD [Jehovah] said unto my LORD [Joseph – see Psalms 105:21], Sit you at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.
2 The LORD shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion: rule you in the midst of your enemies [who are like Esau, and Egyptians who don’t know Joseph].
3 Your people shall be willing in the day of your power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: you have the dew of your youth.
4 The LORD has sworn [an oath], and will not repent, You are a priest forever after the order [dibrah] of Melchizedek.
5 The LORD at your right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook [this word of God] in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
