Many will say to me in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?

26 – 28 June 2023

Many will say to me in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?

The day the LORD speaks of above is when He comes as Chief Overseer of the earth to judge the trees and the fruit they bring forth by teaching and leading in His name. The men He says are doing these things (speaking in His name, casting out misleaders, and doing wonders), are good trees if they are doing the Father’s will: rendering the good fruit to Him at His coming. If they are corrupt trees, bringing forth evil fruit, they are doing their own will and rejecting His commands, not obeying the one thing He calls them to do: obey His voice and commands.

As we know, these are the self-willed often spoken of, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof (in His word, the gospel that effectually works to produce the good fruit in which He delights).

2 Peter 2
9 The LORD knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise [the LORD’s] government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities [doxa – the LORD’s “glory” manifests it in those He raises to power].

2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents [even to God the Father], unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection [never so evidently true, as it is now], trucebreakers, false accusers [also now self-evidently true], incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded [proud and arrogant], lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness [claiming they are manifesting His presence in their flesh], but denying the power thereof [denying free course of this word to effectually work, when preached by His angels: messengers, as He commands and which is the mystery of true godliness revealed]: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep [enduno – only used here, meaning they are disguised in their own power to deceive] into houses, and lead captive silly [easily fooled, small-minded] women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 [and being taught by these false preachers, they are] Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres [preachers doing the work of the tyrants holding God’s people] withstood Moses, so do these also resist [in Hebrew the word “resist” is satan] the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate [without proof] concerning the faith [nothing they do shows they believe the LORD is present].
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

The word “presumptuous,” in 2 Peter 2:10 above, is from the once-used Greek word tolmetes, meaning they dare to presume things, made up in their own mind, to oppose the LORD, and please their own desires. It is from the word tolmao, by which the LORD refers us to its use in Romans 15:18.

Romans 15
1 We then that are strong [by this understanding we’ve received] ought to bear the infirmities [the lack of strength] of the weak, and not to please ourselves [but rather pleasing God, doing His will as we ought].
2 Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification [building them into the LORD holy habitation by this gospel education].
3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached you fell on me [when I preached the word of God from His mouth and gave the Father all the glory].
4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6 That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ.
7 Wherefore receive you one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision [cutting off the useless flesh so what it hides is seen] for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
9 And that the Gentiles [those who don’t know and have never seen the LORD] might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written [in Psalms 69:9, where it is David’s brethren and his own mother’s children that don’t know him, and sit in the gate speaking against him, singing songs of drunkards], For this cause I will confess to you [Your presence] among the Gentiles [those that don’t know you], and sing unto your name [repeat the words you have given, in which conversation Your identity is manifested].
10 And again he says, Rejoice, you Gentiles [who haven’t known the LORD], with his people [who have known Him, but are now fallen asleep and don’t remember His identity]. [The full verse, Deuteronomy 32:43, with context, says, “40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever. 41 If I whet my glittering sword {this word from My mouth shining understanding upon all}, and my hand takes hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me. 42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword {this word from My mouth} shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenge upon the enemy. 43 Rejoice, O you nations {gowy, gentiles, those who don’t know Me}, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land {‘adamah – all the people of Adam: all humanity equally}, and to his people.]
11 And again, Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles; and laud him, all you people [for the mercy He shows as His glory revealed]. [From Psalms 117:1, the full Psalm saying, “1 O praise the LORD, all you nations {gowy}: praise him, all you people {‘ummah – the full collection of His people – His ONE BODY}. 2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endures forever. Praise you the LORD {halal Yahh – Hallelujah!}.]
12 And again, Isaiah says [in Isaiah 11:10, verse 9 saying, “They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters {His word from heaven} cover the sea {all humanity into which it flows}.], There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles [those who haven’t know Him]; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy [the realization the LORD is alive in those who receive Him] and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost [the LORD’s unknown work through His word].
14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that you also are full of [His] goodness, filled with all knowledge [of Him], able also to admonish [warn and correct] one another.
15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in [this same] mind, because of the grace [these treasures He has given me to give as received] that is given to me of God,
16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles [all who don’t know Him], ministering the gospel [euaggelion] of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified [made holy and separated from corruption] by the Holy Ghost [the LORD working in me, through me unknown].
17 I have therefore whereof I may [shine His] glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God [in Hebrew: ya’ah Yahh – to whom it appertains].
18 For I will not dare [tolmao – I will not be presumptuous, presuming things created in my own mind] to speak of any of those things which Christ has not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient [hupakoe – not by fraud forcing the submission of those who don’t know Him], [but] by word and deed,
19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God [seeking their willing obedience by giving them sight and understanding, by His word working in them]; so that from Jerusalem [from where the ways of sustainable civilization: peace and security, flows in teaching directly from the mouth of the LORD, by which man lives], and round about unto Illyricum [“the lyric band” – until they all sign these same songs as One voice of the LORD from His ONE BODY], I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel [euaggelizo], not where Christ was named [not where they say His identity is manifested], lest I should build upon another [of] man’s corrupt] foundation:
21 But as it is written [in Isaiah 52:15 – see below, followed immediately, in Isaiah 53:1, saying “Who has believed our report {shmuw’ah – heard this word as the voice of Jehovah}, and to whom has the arm {His work in the flesh} of the LORD been {thereby} revealed?”], To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see [Him]: and they that have not heard shall [by hearing Him] understand.
22 For which cause also I have been much hindered [Satan standing at the right hand of the church leaders, to resist {satan} the LORD’s work, unknown to them revealing His presence among them, manifested in His work and word] from coming to you.

Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake; put on your strength [understanding], O Zion; put on your beautiful garments [His righteousness], O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Shake yourself from the dust [from the ruin of the earth]; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose yourself from the bands of your neck [the corruption to which you are yoked], O captive daughter of Zion.
3 For thus says the LORD, You have sold yourselves for naught; and you shall be redeemed without money.
4 For thus says the LORD God, My people went down aforetime into Egypt [among oppressors and tyrants who took them captive] to sojourn there; and the Assyrian [now the communists] oppressed them without cause.
5 Now therefore, what have I here, says the LORD, that my people is taken away for naught? they that rule over them make them to howl, says the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that does speak: behold, it is I.
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings good tidings [basar – this gospel], that publishes [shama’ – is obedient to the ways of] peace; that brings good tidings [basar] of good [towb], that publishes [shama’ – is obedient to] salvation [yshuw’ah – to Jesus, manifesting Jehovah’s Salvation in my flesh]; that says unto Zion, Your God reigns [malak – is the king ascended to the throne]!
8 Your watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing [giving His word as received]: for they shall see eye [‘ayin] to eye [‘ayin – become a fountain of living water received from THE Fountain of these living waters], when the LORD shall bring again Zion.
9 Break forth into joy [let the LORD’s glory be revealed in you], sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD has comforted [been the Paraclete, and led into all truth] his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem [without money, but as it could only come: by giving up self-identity and manifesting Him in our flesh].
10 The LORD has made bare his holy arm [His work in my flesh] in the eyes of all the nations [before the eyes of all who haven’t know Him]; and all the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new] shall see the salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus, His Salvation manifested in the flesh ONE BODY] of our God.
11 Depart you, depart you [from the old and fully corrupt], go you out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go you out of the midst of her; be you clean [uncorrupted], that bear the vessels [who are filed with these living waters] of the LORD.
12 For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you [paniym – manifesting His presence before the eyes of all the world]; and the God of Israel will be your reward.
13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14 As many were astonished at you; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15 So shall he sprinkle many nations [those who don’t know Him, making them partakers in His sacrifice]; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

Matthew 7
1 Judge not [with the corrupt judgment you’ve been taught], that you be not judged [with the same corrupt judgment that now rules].
2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why behold you the mote that is in your brother’s eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye?
4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the mote [karphos – only used in this parable, said to mean chaff or straw – its spiritual meaning is in the words kar {heart} and phos {shining or manifesting light}, thereby saying it is a corrupt foundational understanding] out of your eye; and, behold, a beam [dokos – with affinity to the word doko, what you think or suppose is true; said to be from dechomai, meaning “to receive;” as in being taught, accepted, as in {the beam} holding up what is built upon it; also implying the balance beam of the scale of justice: judgment] in your own eye?
5 You hypocrite, first cast out the beam [dokos] out of your own eye; and then shall you see clearly to cast out the mote [karphos] out of your brother’s eye.
6 Give not that which is holy [pure] unto the dogs [those who ignorantly bark at sounds in the darkness, at what they don’t understand, but judge anyway, and never stop their mouths barking], neither cast you your pearls [these treasures found, which are the entryways into the kingdom of God] before swine [men as unclean animals without the LORD’s spirit, speaking what shouldn’t be consumed because it defiles the mind], lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you [with endless arguments of ignorance, only wanting to mire the waters in which they endlessly wallow].
7 Ask [the LORD], and it shall be given you; [diligently] seek [Him], and you shall find; knock [at the gate of His kingdom], and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that [with pure intentions] asks receives; and he that seeks [with a pure heart] finds; and to him that knocks [asking Him to give understanding] it shall be opened. [see Matthew 5 below]
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son asks bread [full understand from heaven, broken, rightly divided, and meted out in right measure], will he give him a stone [that cannot be broken, nor can it nourish mind or body]?
10 Or if he ask a fish [the life hidden below the surface of the water: in the word of God], will he give him a serpent [to deceive and mislead him]?
11 If you then, being evil [with corrupt judgment misleading], know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven [dwelling in full understanding] give good things to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them [knowing that all men are created equal, endowed by their creator God with inalienable rights, among them the right to life, liberty, and property, and to defend and secure these rights, governments, in church and state, are instituted, constituted by the consent of the governed]: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter you in at the strait gate [navigating to avoid the misleaders who stand in the way]: for [with none standing against the evil way] wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets [who stand to block the way into life], which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves [seeking to devour and swallow men into the belly of hell where they rule].
16 You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns [the fruit of misleaders], or figs of thistles [of deceivers]?
17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit [which the LORD seeks to gather]; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit [which can’t be gathered into the LORD’s kingdom, because they are blinded to His leading].
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire [of the hell they’ve created].
20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
21 Not every one that says unto me, LORD, LORD, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity [going your own way, not doing the LORD’s will, you did these things].
24 Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock [Christ, from where these waters flow]:
25 And the rain descended [this word from heaven], and the floods came [of men’s words against Him speaking and working], and the winds blew [of false doctrines], and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock [the good leading that flows as the word of God from His mouth].
26 And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set [on His throne], his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in [without another] spirit: for theirs [without this resistance] is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn [the fallen condition in which we’ve become captives]: for they shall be comforted [led into all truth by the LORD’s Spirit as He works and speaks unknown: unseen, unrealized, by the world].
5 Blessed are the meek [who wait for the LORD, not avenging themselves]: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled [receive the LORD’s righteousness].
7 Blessed are the merciful [forgiving the repentant as the LORD forgives them]: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart [the mind not corrupted, blinded, by false teaching]: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers [teaching the way into New Heavenly Jerusalem]: for they shall be called the children of God [created in His image and likeness by His correction: the ways of peace and security that flow from His teaching, giving His word as received].
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake [the necessary sacrifice for guarding and protecting right thinking that opposes the confusion and insanity that corrupts the world]: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake [The Way, Truth, and the Light, understanding, that is life].
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets [those speaking the word the LORD put in their mouths] which were before you [manifesting His presence].
13 You are the salt of the earth [that put this taste, transfer this understanding, into everything in the mouths of men]: but if the salt has lost his savor [taste], wherewith [by whom] shall it be salted [transferred if not by you]? it is [works not transferring this taste are] then sent forward good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men [of the swine wallowing in the mire, confusion, their words stir].
14 You are the light [phos – the understanding and life] of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid [dumamai kruptos – there is no power that can cover what the LORD has uncovered].
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light [understanding] unto all that are in the house [become His children by the correction that comes in this way].
16 Let your light [the understanding the LORD has given us] so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven [giving us this understanding as He reveals His presence with us, His glory in us].
17 Think not that I Am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I Am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 For truly I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever, therefore, shall break [luo – loose these bands: refuses to obey] one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so [to not obey], he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do [obey] and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness [your correct teaching] shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees [the religious misleaders, who’ve, by abandoning good judgment, scattered the ONE BODY], you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain [worthless] thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands [of obedience] asunder, and cast away their cords [The LORD’s commandments] from us.
4 He that sits [enthroned] in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision [as they are this day, trapped in their own evil].
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath [as He does here and now], and vex them in his sore displeasure [in their misleading].
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me [me Timothy D’Annunzio], You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen [the world ignorant of My presence] for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron [the law of nature and nature’s God, under which government men are entitled to live]; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel [destroying the old fully corrupt institutions men have defiled and starting it over again New, removing all the corruption].
10 Be wise now, therefore, O you kings: be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Friends, I understand the difficulty of believing something of this magnitude is occurring. I tell you the truth, it is – and there is no power that will stop Him. When faith that it’s happening comes, and the faithful witness to its coming, the nation and world will suddenly, in an instant, be changed.

1 Corinthians 15
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the LORD from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?

Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses [Hebrews 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report {the Father testifying of them in His testimony, the shmuw’ah, that they believed Him, and did His will on earth} through faith, received not the promise: 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.], let us lay aside every weight [the burdens of men’s words], and the sin [missing the mark {of righteousness through faith}] which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy [the crowning that comes when God is seen in him] that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not you the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
6 For whom the LORD loves [agapao – shows charity] he chastens [corrects through the testimony He gives, through those He first gave His treasures], and scourges every son whom he receives.
7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not?
8 But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.

Above, we’re told of the scourge that comes upon all and of those who reject correction (chastising), who will not enter the kingdom. The writer (the LORD) likens this refusal to Esau (a pattern of enemies mixed among us as illegitimate children) selling his birthright; the cause, also spoken of, is not seeking peace with all men, without which no man will see God (enter His kingdom).

Hebrews 12
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded [to do God’s will, obey His commands, and seek peace with all men], And if so much as a beast [refusing His Spirit] touch the mountain [those without His correction, who attempt to come into His presence], it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [the kingdom of God, full understanding in His presence]:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made [the leaven, which, by the unfaithful, has been fully worked into the lump, corrupting it all], that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Isaiah 29
3 And I will camp against you round about, and will lay siege against you with a mount [to leap over your wall of lies], and I will raise forts [My strongholds: truth revealed] against you.
4 And you shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust [the ruin of the earth], and your voice shall be, as of one that has a familiar spirit [word of the dead, known to bring death], [heard from their graves in hell] out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Moreover the multitude of your strangers [who are far from Me] shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away [when I come as a whirlwind from where I speak]: yea, it shall be at an instant [petha’] suddenly [pith’own].
6 You shall be visited [paqad – by the Chief Overseer] of the LORD of hosts [a man of war] with thunder [the voice of the light, understanding from the cloud], and with earthquake [shaken by these words from the mouth of God], and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel [My strength, understanding, that the wicked have taken and hold captive in their deceptions], even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision [the creations in the minds of those in a deep sleep].
8 It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations [who don’t know Me] be, that fight against mount Zion.
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry you out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers has he covered.
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed:
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart [the foundations of their minds] far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the [false] precepts of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [awakening and eye opening] work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder [that they will not understand until they suddenly, at an instant, do realize it is My presence]: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?

2 Samuel 22
26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
27 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the froward [who twist and pervert truth] you will show yourself unsavory.
28 And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty [the arrogant], that you may bring them down.
29 For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness [give understanding to things not known].
30 For by you I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall [of men’s lies built upon lies].
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32 For who is God, save the LORD [Jehovah]? and who is a rock [Christ from where His word flows], save our God?
33 God is my strength [my understanding] and power [in me]: and he makes my way perfect.
34 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet [firm standing]: and sets me upon my high places.
35 He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness has made me great.
37 You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet [and become my footstool].
40 For you have girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
41 You have also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me [without a cause].
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD [Jehovah], but he answered them not.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the heathen [those who don’t know you]: a people which I knew not [Your presence in me] shall serve me.
45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46 Strangers [whose ways and ideas are far from the LORD] shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places [where they conspire in secret].
47 The LORD lives [in me]; and blessed be my rock [Christ in me]; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48 It is God that avenges me, and that bringeth down the people under me.
49 And that bringeth me forth from my enemies: you also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto your name.
51 He is the tower of salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus] for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

Psalms 64
A Psalm of David
1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly [pith’own] do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily [to enslave all God’s people]; they say, Who shall see [ra’ah] them?
6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly [pith’own] shall they be wounded [when those who were slaves realize the LORD brought them here to do them good, to free them, now freeing their minds, save them, the nation, and the world from the wicked powers who mistreated us and our ancestors, who’ve now in the name of “the general welfare” deceived them as their way to keep power, to impoverish and enslave God’s people, to destroy our culture, this nation, and the world.]
8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see [ra’ah – understand] them shall flee away.
9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
To the Chief Musician

The word “deep,” above in verse 6, speaking of the secret conspiracies of the wicked in power, is the seventeen times used Hebrew word ‘amoq, a mystery, meaning it can and will only be revealed by the LORD.

Job 11
5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you;
6 And that he would show you the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
7 Can you by searching find out God? can you find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8 It [the secrets of wisdom and perfection] is as high as heaven [held in the clouds until now]; what can you do? deeper [‘amoq] than hell; what can you know?
9 The measure thereof [the secrets of wisdom and perfection] is longer than the earth [only revealed after wickedness has ended the earth], and broader than the sea [beyond human understanding].
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together [taking understanding into heaven], then who can hinder him?
11 For he knows [the worthless ways of] vain men: he sees [ra’ah – understands] wickedness also; will he not then consider [biyn – give understanding of] it [the ways of wickedness]?
12 For vain men would be wise [think they have wisdom], though man be born like a wild ass’s colt [freed into the wilderness].
13 If you prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward him;
14 If iniquity be in your hand [work], put it far away [rachaq – realize it is evil decreed], and let not wickedness dwell in your tabernacles.
15 For then shall you lift up your face [rise with the LORD’s presence realized] without spot [without the stain of corruption]; yea, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
16 Because you shall forget your misery [the tribulation of the time], and remember it as waters that pass away [‘abar – word of death you have Passedover]:
17 And your age [cheled – world age] shall be clearer than [quwm – shall rise as] the noonday [when full understanding has come]: you shall shine forth [giving the understanding you’ve received], you shall be as the morning [of the new day, this new world age].
18 And you shall be secure [having learned from the LORD his ways of peace], because there is hope [what was hoped for is received]; yea, you shall dig about you, and you shall take your rest in safety.
19 Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto you [attempting, with flatteries, to seduce you again into captivity].
20 But the eyes [the false prophecies and false accusations] of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope [the wicked end they hoped for] shall be as the giving up of the ghost.

Job 12
15 Behold [see], he [the LORD] withholds the waters [reserving His word: wisdom and understanding, in heaven], and they dry up [on the earth]: also he sends them out, and they overturn the earth [as they now have].
16 With him is strength [understanding] and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver [without His word] are his [to be revealed in this time].
17 He leads counselors away spoiled, and makes the judges [of the earth] fools.
18 He looses the bond of kings, and girds their loins with a girdle [preparing them for destruction by their wicked counselors and judges, as He pleases].
19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthrows the mighty.
20 He removes away the speech of the trusty [the voices the deceived people trust and follow], and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
21 He pours contempt upon princes, and weakens the strength of the mighty.
22 He discovers deep [‘amoq – the secrets of the wicked, the way of hell] things out of darkness [of which all men are ignorant], and bringeth out to light [into understanding] the shadow of death [cast by the ignorance of these men’s words and ways].
23 He increases the nations, and destroys them: he enlarges the nations, and straitens them again.
24 He takes away the heart [the foundational mind] of the chief of the people of the earth [making Brandon feeble], and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
25 They grope in the dark [their own ignorance] without light [understanding], and he makes them to stagger like a drunken man [watch your step, Brandon, you know you’re prone to tripping over your own feet and ways].

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 the 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 [His messengers] said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 Are they [His messengers] not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister [this word received] for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD, and was confirmed [repeated and established] unto us by them that heard him [believing it is His voice];
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the [new] world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit him [coming as You now have, as the Chief Overseer of the earth]?

Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the LORD is right, and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loves righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap: he lays up the depth [these hidden treasures] in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to naught: he makes the devices [the conspiracies of the wicked] of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The LORD looks from heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looks upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashions their hearts alike; he considers all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in you.

June 26, 2023

This is a nation that obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, nor received correction: truth is perished and is cut off from their mouth.

24 – 25 June 2023

This is a nation that obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, nor received correction: truth is perished and is cut off from their mouth.

The LORD begins today with the above statement of fact from Jeremiah 7:28, speaking of this moment in time. He tells of truth perished, and, therefore, none knowing His voice speaking it, nor can any be corrected because of those they’ve followed into desolation, who put themselves and their abomination in the Father’s place (replacing the holy with the corrupt and calling it by His name).

Jeremiah 7
29 Cut off your hair and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places [that have puffed themselves up with pride and now put themselves in God’s place – the sons of perdition “Who {as did Rueben to His father} oppose and exalt themselves above all that is called {legomeno – put forth by the present} God, or that is worshipped; so that they as God sit in the churches of God, showing themselves that they are God.”]; for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30 For the children of Judah [the current crop of corrupt leaders, all in rebellion, all refusing to hear and obey the LORD’s commands: fallen angels, apostate messengers, who’ve left their first estate and now preach and teach their own words and ways, whose end is perdition] have done evil in my sight, says the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
31 And they have built the high places of Tophet [that worship the fires their abandoning truth have caused in the earth], which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom [who in the fires of hell ignorantly lament their cause], [and continue] to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet [the place of fires], nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet [in hell], till there be no place.
33 And the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away [as it is this day: there is no man to stand for the truth, all still speaking their own words and prescribing the own cures: the causes that led all the world into death and hell – tens of thousands of voices of barbarians all leading in their own circles of confusion and dismay].
34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah [these places where these barbarians lead those they’ve corrupted into following them], and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.

The above condemnation of all those leading without following this One voice of the LORD, not exalting my Father’s words above all others, is as He has commanded.

Isaiah 54
13 And all your children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of your children.
14 In righteousness shall you be established: you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near you.
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against you shall fall for your sake.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17 No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, says the LORD.

Jeremiah, the LORD in him speaking, after the above, describes this day, speaking of all the leaders in church and state, the whole lump leaven with the corruption of the unfaithful (puffed up with arrogance: pride in their success against the LORD: keeping people away from the One He’s sent, of whom they remain ignorant and therefore are unaccepted by their ongoing rejection).

Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, says the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves [qeber – the tombs where their dead bodies are kept]:
2 And they shall spread them before the sun [the church they’ve corrupted], and the moon [civil government also totally darkened and draining the life of those they tyrannically rule], and all the host of heaven [all God’s people at large], [their Father’s wife] whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts.
4 Moreover you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD; Shall they fall [way to these misleaders], and not arise? shall he turn away [from their LORD], and not return?
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return [to this truth by My correction].
6 I hearkened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? everyone turned to his course, as the horse rushes into the battle [under the men taking them there].
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times [mow’ed]; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe [shamar – obey] the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8 How do you say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore will I give their wives [those who followed them] unto others, and their fields to them [that do obey the LORD’s commands] that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness [they judge their success by their worldly wealth, knowing not that they are without heavenly treasure], from the prophet even unto the priest every one [is puffed up, swelled with pride, and] deals falsely.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace [they sit still while they enemies are among them warring against their bodies and minds: life, liberty, and property].
12 Were they ashamed when they [these misleaders] had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – now when the LORD has come as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
13 I will surely consume them [with this word from My mouth], says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them [as it is occurring before their eyes, they see it and know it, but those they follow lead them into sitting still].
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defensed cities [the places that hear and obey the voice of the LORD, who have joined His ONE BODY, and subordinate their will to His good leadership], and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16 The snorting of his horses [under misleaders running into the battle against us] was heard from Dan [which is the judgment of God, as He warned and all have forgotten]: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones [the communists joined with the wicked in power]; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you [whose venom is in their mouths speaking nothing except lies, yet their army follows them, and their known lies, because of the enmity], which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says the LORD.
18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed]: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities [worthless ways far from God]?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black [my people chose death and remain blind to the LORD’s presence, while claiming they are wise and see everything]; astonishment has taken hold on me [the dead body of Christ].
22 Is there no balm in Gilead [in this testimony]; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

Friends, none of the prominent voices in the world are opening their mouths to declare the LORD present with us, in us. By this, they disqualify themselves from the prominence they covet: the notoriety they value and for which they sell their souls.

Romans 1
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel [euaggelizo] of Christ [the LORD alive in our flesh]: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes [He is alive in us]; to the Jew [believers who call themselves by His name] first, and also to the Greek [unbelievers who don’t know Him].
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from [our] faith to faith [in those who come to believe He is present in us]: as it is written, The just shall live by faith [believing this word preached, this God spell, is the LORD in us saving the world].
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness [not manifesting the LORD speaking His word] and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them [making Himself known to them, and they reject His truth, choosing instead to remain with their evil deeds]; for God has shown it unto them.
20 For the invisible things [this now revealed understanding, the deep meaning, created into this word] of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made [that were present but only now appear], even his eternal power and Godhead [theiotes; only used here – the nature of God as manifested in man]; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain [worthless] in their imaginations [things they create in their minds without God], and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creation more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

As we know, the truth perishing echoes back to the offense of the son of perdition, Rueben, whom we know (Genesis 35:22) defiled his father Jacob’s bed (in the pattern of the wicked who put themselves in place of God defiling what should remain pure) and for it, his birthright was taken and given to Joseph (1 Chronicles 5:1).

Paul, in 1 Corinthians 5, speaks of this same offense occurring in Corinth, after he has just elaborated on the worthlessness of the world’s wisdom, of the misguided glorifying the names of those baptizing them, and then of stewardship that must be faithful to God.

He says, in 1 Corinthians 1:17, “For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel {euaggelizo}: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.”

Paul is speaking of his assignment, the necessary sacrifice of self, to speak as the Father, in His name, giving Him all the glory due Him.

1 Corinthians 1
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world [showing it openly to be based on forced delusions meant to mask the criminal conspiracies of the wicked in power from those they’ve led into insanity – We see you Brandon, and We see your daddy Barak]?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe [it is Him].
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling-block [skandalon – because He doesn’t use force as do the worldly powers], and unto the Greeks foolishness [because He rejects their insanity, their rejection of reality, which they call wisdom];
24 But unto them which are called [out of darkness into His understanding and truth], both Jews and Greeks, Christ [is] the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [who are puffed up with pride and have trespassed into places only God the Father goes], are called:
27 But God has chosen the foolish things [I Am] of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things [I Am] of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are [misleading the world into death and hell]:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the one the Father anoints with His presence], who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written [in Jeremiah 9:24], He that glories, let him glory in the LORD.

Jeremiah 9
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand [biyn] this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perished and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passes through [‘abar – none Passover from there into life]?
13 And the LORD says, Because they have forsaken my law which I [here] set before them [paniym – by manifesting My presence to them], and have not obeyed [shama’] my voice, neither walked therein;
14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim [idols they created and put in My place], which their fathers taught them:
15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood [their own venomous words], and give them water of gall [their own bitter understanding] to drink.
16 I will scatter them also among the heathen [as they are, among those who have no idea who I Am], whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword [this word from My mouth] after them, till I have consumed them.
17 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Consider [biyn – understand] you, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:
18 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land [‘erets], because our dwellings [all the inhabited earth] have cast us [God’s faithful people] out.
20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O you women, and let your ear receive [‘ozen – pay close attention to] 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 we see it has come upon all humanity, except the very elect remnant], and is entered into our palaces [as we now see the dead in power here in hell], to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
22 Speak, Thus says the LORD, Even the carcasses of men [the dead in animated flesh, as beasts without the Spirit of the LORD in them giving them life] shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful [only the elect remnant remain here alive] after the harvestman, and none shall gather them [the dead].
23 Thus says 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 [offering forgiveness and life to those who hear and obey this word], judgment [My correction at this mercy seat as I manifest My presence in this conversation], and righteousness [My word is the way, truth, and light in which is life], in the earth: for in these things I delight, says the LORD.

In 1 Corinthians 4:4, he (Paul) then (after speaking of those glorying in man) says, “For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judges me is the LORD.”

1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so account of us [that we are, I Am, in Christ as the LORD is alive in me], as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God [that have become hidden in the deep sleep of man’s ignorance of God, having no knowledge of Him and His way].
2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged [by man’s wisdom] of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not my own self.
4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judges me is the LORD [who has made me the minister of this understanding He gives].
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the LORD come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness [hidden in man’s ignorance], and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man [that receives the knowledge of Him] have praise of God.
6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred [metaschematizo – meaning to transfigure or associate, and disguise, from words meaning succession and figure {of Christ}] to myself and to Apollos [the sun, as a burning light – spiritually meaning the one sent away to complete the light, from apollumi: apo holos leukos] for your sakes; that you might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up [with pride, glorying in self and not in the knowledge we’ve all received from the LORD] for one against another.
7 For who makes you to differ from another? and what have you that you did not receive [from God, because if it’s a creation from the mind of man it’s worthless]? now if you did receive it, why do you glory [as if it came from you], as if you had not received it [from God the Father]?
8 Now you are full, now you are rich, you have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9 For I think that God has set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honorable, but we are despised.
11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;
12 And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 For though you have [the words of] ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have you not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus [as Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh] I have begotten you through the gospel [euaggelion].
16 Wherefore I beseech you, be you followers of me.
17 For this cause have I sent [Paul here, in the Spirit, is speaking as God the Father] unto you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the LORD, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
18 Now some are puffed up [against me, Timothy, with pride in their corrupt creations not received from God], as though I would not come to you.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the LORD will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power [of the living God, the LORD alive in me].
20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21 What will you? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love [agape – charity, giving these treasures as received from the LORD], and in the spirit of meekness?

These men, the many who are puffed up with their ideas and ways, who’ve thereby put themselves in the Father’s place, are the sons of perdition Paul then calls out in the next chapter.

1 Corinthians 5
1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication [interaction with the unfaithful who don’t believe this is the word from the mouth of God] among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles [zealous unbelievers don’t associate with believers like us], that one [of these unbelievers] should have his Father’s wife [putting himself in God’s place as the head of His people, opposing exalting himself and his words above God’s, so he as God sits in His church showing himself as if he is God].
2 And you are puffed up [with pride in his creations], and have not rather mourned, that he that has done this deed might be taken away from among you [because such men hold you down {katecho} and will hold you, keeping your from rising to join the LORD, until they are taken out of the way].
3 For I truly, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that has so done this deed, [2 Corinthians 11: 2 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we {as men in whom a spirit works, Christ in us and Satan in them}. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming {metaschematizo – disguising} themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed {metaschematizo – disguised} into an angel of light {a messenger of darkening sentences – rules for radicals, the children of Lucifer: the false light}. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed [metaschematizo – disguised] as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works {of deception uncovered}.]
4 In the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together [led together: into this ONE BODY by the same mind], and my spirit, with the power of our LORD Jesus Christ,
5 To deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the LORD Jesus.
6 Your glorying [in such men] is not good. Know you not that a little leaven [corruption] leavens [corrupts] the whole lump?
7 Purge out, therefore, the old leaven [corruption], that you may be a new lump [ONE BODY], as you are unleavened [uncorrupted]. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us [to lead us out of corruption into life]: [1 Corinthians 15: 51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?]
8 Therefore let us keep the feast [this Passover], not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators [who interact with the unfaithful unbelievers who’ve put themselves in the LORD’s place]:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must you needs go out of the world [as the false teachers teach].
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer [against those who believe this truth received], or a drunkard [whose mind are stupefied by consuming the words of unbelievers], or an extortioner [by fraud or force taking money]; with such a one refuse to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not you judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judges. Therefore, put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

The word metaschematizo, which Paul uses to describe “transferring” (the image of Christ) to himself and the one (I Am) he sends (in the name of the Father), only appears one other time, definitively in Philippians 3:21.

Philippians 3
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things [all the ideas that were not received from the LORD] but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my LORD: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ [the LORD alive in our flesh], the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death [taking up His cross and following Him];
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before [in His presence],
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an example.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of [puffed up with pride against] 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 [with LORD at His mercy seat, manifesting His presence] is in heaven [with full understanding received from Him]; from whence [in the conversation at His mercy seat] also we look for the Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change [metaschematizo] our vile [corrupted] body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious [uncorrupted] body, according to the working [of His word transferred to us] whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

When Paul speaks of Apollos, the one he sent away to complete the light, who is (likeminded) with him changed (metaschematizo) into the image and likeness of Christ, it is the nature of God in the flesh he describes in Philippians 2. He is speaking of marking and following the example of those who walk in this way, who are likeminded, and thereby joined in the LORD’s ONE BODY, by His One mind.

Philippians 2
2 Fulfil you my joy [when Christ is evidently formed you], that you be likeminded, having the same love [agape – charity, giving this word as received], being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vain-glory [worthless glory of man without the evident glory of the LORD’s Spirit]; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others [see verse 21 below, saying of Timothy’s like mind, “For all {others} seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.”].
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal [in nature] with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name [at His appearing in me, Timothy, who comes in the name of the LORD Jesus the Christ, who anointed me with His presence and sent me on this mission] which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputing:
15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause also do you joy, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the LORD Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally [by the nature of God in him] care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But you know the proof of him [which you have experience and which has thereby become self-evident truth], that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel [euaggelion].
23 Him therefore I hope to send presently…

All the following is from the post of 14 January 2021:

Bearing the reproach of Christ, outside the camp, is where Hebrews 13 calls us to go, by faith, to meet the LORD, where Timothy is set at liberty.

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

Hebrews 13
1 Let brotherly love [philadelphia] continue [meno].
2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels [the messengers of God] unawares.
3 Remember them that are in bonds [joined with the LORD], as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Marriage [joining with the LORD as one living flesh body] is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled [is not as Jacob’s bed, which Reuben defile, as the son of perdition]: but whoremongers [those who buy and sell the flesh of men – make merchandise of those who join with them] and adulterers [those who have left God to follow {join with} others] God will judge.
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
6 So that we may boldly say, The LORD is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 For here have we no continuing [meno] city, but we seek one to come.
15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our LORD Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
23 Know you that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.

The word “liberty,” above in verse 23, is said to be apolou, a compound word literally translating, away (apo) loose (luo). But, in the original text, it is written as apolelumenon, which appears to be from the words apo (in the sense of completion), laleo (to utter – speak or preach), meno (to stay – the enduring things of God). These three words and their appearing in John 14 give us their enduring meaning.

John 14
10 Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak [laleo] unto you I speak [laleo] not of [apo – this completion isn’t from] myself: but the Father that dwells [meno] in me, he does the works. [Hebrews 13 tells us, in God’s language: Timothy is apo laleo meno]
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
12 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter [Paraclete], that he may abide [meno – endure] with you forever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells [meno] with you, and shall be in you.

Psalms 103
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;
4 Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfies your mouth [‘adiy] with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pities his children, so the LORD pities them that fear him.
14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The LORD has prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless the LORD, you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless you the LORD, all you his hosts; you ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion [memshalah]: bless the LORD, O my soul.

June 23, 2023

He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.

20 – 22 June 2023

He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.

The above (verse 36) ends chapter 3 of John’s Gospel, as John is bearing witness to the Son he saw: Jesus (Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh of the first begotten of the Father).

John’s version (Gospel – God’s “good spell”) of the LORD in Him coming to life, after the baptism of repentance (that comes by water, this word of God heard), speaks of His mind washed from blinding corruption. It is the Son, the one who uniquely comes to life by the direct work of the Father (revealing Himself alive in Him first), who then baptizes disciples (teaches students) as the Father baptized (taught) Him, revealing Himself (the Father) alive in those first baptized by water, and thereby (after His long-suffering) seeing the Father in the son(s), find themselves in the presence of the LORD Jesus, the Christ (the Father manifested in human flesh) at His coming.

The Greek words rendered “gospel,” (only used by John in Revelation) are (from the Strong’s Greek Dictionary): Strong’s #2097: euaggelizo: from 2095 [eu – good or well] and 32 [angelos – angel or messenger]; to announce good news (“evangelize”) especially the gospel:–declare, bring (declare, show) glad (good) tidings, preach (the gospel). And, Strong’s #2098: euaggelion: from the same as 2097; a good message, i.e. the gospel:–gospel.

In Hebrew, the equivalent words, often rendered “good tidings” and “report,” give us a clearer understanding. They respectively are (from the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary): Strong’s #1319: basar: a primitive root; properly, to be fresh, i.e. full (rosy, (figuratively) cheerful); to announce (glad news):–messenger, preach, publish, show forth, (bear, bring, carry, preach, good, tell good) tidings. And, Strong’s #8052: shmuw’ah, feminine passive participle [dubiously] of 8074; something heard, i.e. an announcement:–bruit, doctrine, fame, mentioned, news, report, rumor, tidings.

As we understand, shmuw’ah (in like context with shmuw’el meaning to hear God, and rendered Samuel) means to hear Jehovah’s voice in the words spoken.

Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our report [shmuw’ah – heard and obeyed the voice preaching these good tidings as the voice of Jehovah, as it is]? and to whom [thereby] is the arm [the work in the flesh] of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry [tsiyah – this way marker] ground [‘erets – in the earth]: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

As we also know, because the LORD has here shown us, this aspect of hearing the word preached, the tidings of His good, and believing it is Him speaking, as He is, is the manifestation of His presence to us, and then in us as we, in like manner after He has reproduced us in His image and likeness, preach the same “good spell.”

1 Thessalonians 2
1 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as you know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel [euaggelion] of God with much contention [with the wicked, mentioned below as doing the work of Satan, as they are latter in 2 Thessalonians 2 & 3, with all signs and lying wonders, who receive not this love of the truth, that they might be saved, and hinder this word of God, not allowing it to be heard as His word, as it is].
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel [euaggelion], even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which tries our hearts.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children:
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel [euaggelion] of God only, but also our own souls, because you were dear unto us.
9 For you remember, brethren, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel [euaggelion] of God.
10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe [the Gospel is the word of God, as it is]:
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father [who is alive in Christ] does [to bring] his children [to life with him],
12 That you would walk worthy of God, who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which [is the power in you changing your mind, the “good spell” that] effectually works also in you that believe [it is Him speaking and working to bring you thereby to life].
14 For you, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are [becoming new Judah, the elect remnant – who were the first to come to life] in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen [wicked men in church and state, hindering the word of God and not giving it free course], even as they have of the Jews [the old and wholly corrupt Judah]:
15 Who [church {religious} and state government together] both killed the LORD Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us [falsely accusing our work trying to silence us and maintain their control over the minds of men]; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles [all who don’t truly know the LORD] that they might be saved, to fill up their sins [against God] always: for the wrath [this word of God against those who reject the love of His truth] is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan [resisting the LORD’s word that manifests His presence] hindered us.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing [that you receive His word as it is, His presence with you, and now in you]? Are not even you in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For you are our glory [acknowledging it is the LORD’s in us and not our own] and joy [when you are in this way born again into His family of the living].

2 Timothy 1
6 Wherefore I put you in remembrance that you stir up the gift of God, which is in you by the putting on of my hands [the LORD working His salvation through me to you].
7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not you therefore ashamed of the testimony of our LORD [alive in us], nor of me his prisoner: but be you partaker of the afflictions of [preaching] the gospel [euaggelion] according to the power of God [that will effectually work in those who hear Him];
9 Who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ [by faith: believing it is Him present], who has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel [euagelion]:
11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles [who don’t know Him, and are blinded to His presence by ignorance: their darkened minds].
12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day [this day of the resurrection at the revelation of the LORD Jesus Christ].
13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which you have heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 That good thing which was committed unto you keep by the Holy Ghost which dwells in us [the LORD in you unknown to those who don’t know Him, working, long-suffering until they realize they are in the presence of the LORD Jesus Christ, Jehovah manifested in the flesh working our salvation, at His coming].

In this context, understand what John is saying in chapter 3, when he, in verse 30, speaking of when preaching repentance has effectually worked, clearing the blinded mind, and the LORD is realized to be the One present working in His word, says “He [the LORD now known] must increase, but I [the Son who is the dove, the sign of the end] must decrease.”

Galatians 1
3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our LORD Jesus Christ,
4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
5 To whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
6 I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel [euaggelizo]:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel [euaggelizo] of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel [euagelizo] unto you than that which we have preached [euaggelizo] unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel [euaggelizo] unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel [euaggelion] which was preached [euaggelizo] of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ [Jehovah alive in me manifesting His presence for the salvation of the world].

Galatians 4
20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life [that only comes by Him, the Word of God, alive in you], truly righteousness should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ [One God alive in our flesh] might be given to them that believe.
23 But before faith [believing He is present] came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterward be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law [the written word from the mouth of God, when read] was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus [that Jehovah {the Father} is alive in us {His children}, saving us and as many as receive Him at His coming].
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if you be Christ’s, then are you Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

As we understand, the “promise” was to Abraham, after he heard the LORD and obeyed, by faith believing the LORD’s earlier promise (Genesis 15, and thereby knowing Isaac couldn’t, wouldn’t die in the sacrifice the LORD led him into). This is a pattern of the new and living way spoken of in Hebrews 10:20, the sacrifice He leads us into as the ONE BODY He has prepared for Himself (to reveal His presence), and when we have the faith to trust and believe Him, seeing as He sees, we reach the promised blessing.

The early promise:
Genesis 15
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness [now when all God people are ignorant of His presence] fell upon him.
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that your seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

Abraham’s statement of faith after leading Isaac to the sacrifice:
Genesis 22
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

And the LORD providing:
Genesis 22
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes [to see as the LORD sees], and looked [ra’ah – and saw], and behold behind [‘achar – in these last days, at the end of the deep sleep] him a ram [‘ayil – strength; the mighty in our time] caught in a thicket by his horns [by their own power to deceive]: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh [Jehovah sees]: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, says the LORD, for because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son:
17 That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed my voice.

The “thicket” in which the mighty are caught is the four times used Hebrew word cbak, by which, the LORD refers us to two of its appearances in Isaiah.

Isaiah 9
14 Therefore, the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
15 The ancient and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail.
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
17 Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burns as the fire: it shall devour the briers [deceivers] and thorns [misleaders], and shall kindle in the thickets [cbak] of the forest [all those who say they are upright, while doing evil, warring, against God and His people], and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke [and shall be carried away by the winds of their own evil lies and deceptions].
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land [‘erets – earth] darkened [all are ignorant of the LORD among us working and speaking], and [therefore] the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

Isaiah 10
1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed [forcing more of the cause claiming its a cure – more evil can only bring more evil; it’s an unbreakable law of nature and nature’s God, now self-evident];
2 To turn aside the needy from [God’s good] judgment, and to take away the right [justice] from the poor [the powerless] of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless [none having a man to protect and defend them from the attacks of the wicked in power]!
3 And what will you do in the day of visitation [pquddah – now when the LORD has come as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to avenge the powerless and cut down the wicked], and in the desolation which shall come from far [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed]? to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory?
4 For you have broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian [when Gideon, the warrior of God, hewed down the mighty who were causing the constant agitation of God’s people, calling all His people to the final slaughter of them and their kings].
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
8 The LORD sent a word into Jacob, and it has lighted upon Israel [like a dove – as a sign of this end reached].

This, the Word of God descending as dove, is what John speaks of in John 1:32, after he speaks of the LORD in the flesh as the Word of God made flesh and coming to His people who didn’t comprehend Him, His word, speaking into their darkness.

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light [understanding who is speaking] of men.
5 And the light shined in darkness; and the darkness [the ignorant] comprehended it not.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove [the sign of the end reached], and it abode upon him.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water [cleansing away the corruption that blinds the world], the same said unto me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit [the LORD unknown in the darkness] descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with the Holy Ghost [raising them to life: coming to life in His children as they receive His mind].
34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

51 And he says unto him, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Isaiah 10
16 Therefore shall the LORD, the LORD of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 And the light [understanding] of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns [misleaders] and his briers [deceivers] in one day;
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer [nacac – those to whom they look to show them the way] faints.
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him [to whom they looked to show the way] that smote them; but shall stay upon [look to] the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The 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 – failing eyes] decreed [charats] shall overflow with righteousness.
23 For the LORD God of hosts shall make a consumption [kalah – the full end], even determined [charats], in the midst of all the land [‘erets – all the earth].
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian [communists in power]: he shall smite you with a rod [the law they have corrupted by their delusion], and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt [as tyrants oppressing].
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation [za’am] shall cease [kalah – be ended when this is accomplished], and my anger in their destruction.
26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb [from where flows the waters of darkness]: and as his rod [the law of nature and nature’s God] was upon the sea [all people at large], so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt [against the oppressors and tyrants of our time].
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden [of the wicked] shall be taken away from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing [this understanding poured out upon all the earth as the sun rising on this new day].

33 Behold, the LORD, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty [arrogant] shall be humbled.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets [cbak] of the forest with iron, and Lebanon [the corrupt evil standard in the place where purity should be seen] shall fall by a mighty one.

John 3
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus [victorious over the culture – by coming to the LORD, through the “strait” gate narrowed by the obstacles of the culture and false prophets, to Him who is the king and the kingdom], a ruler of the Jews [Judah – the leaders of God’s people]:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi [Teacher], we know that you are a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Except a man be born again [bring out of His dead flesh, a spiritual man with the understanding mind of Christ, in accord with God and choosing to do His will], he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus says unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water [this word of God] and of the Spirit [by His word reproducing the His Holy Spirit in us – our sanctification into salvation], he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel {euaggelion}, to the obtaining of the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.]
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again.
8 The wind blows [the Spirit moves] where it lists [thelesis – where God wills, doing His will], and you hear the sound thereof [His voice], but can not tell from where it comes, or to where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit [moved into God’s will].
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Are you a master of Israel, and know not these things?
11 Truly, truly, I say unto you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen [we do understand]; and you receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things [the way into His kingdom]?
13 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness [so that all who look upon Him can be saved from the darkness and death that comes from the bites, the poisonous words, of the enemies, false prophets and misleader mixed among us], even so must the Son of man [I Am] be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation [krisis – the choice, to reject the light, which is choosing death], that light [understanding] is come into the world, and men loved darkness [the cultivated ignorance of the culture] rather than light [understanding], because their deeds were evil [misleading].
20 For every one that does evil [misleads into darkness] hates the light [understanding truth], neither comes to the light [understanding], lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that does truth comes to the light [understanding], that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God [they are the work and will of God].
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon [‘ayin – the eye as the fountain from where comes life-giving waters] near to Salim [that bring us near, prepare us for, peace], because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you barest witness, behold, the same baptizes, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he that comes from heaven is above all.
32 And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man receives his testimony.
33 He that has received his testimony has set to his seal [sphragizo – the seal upon the Archangel who then seals the elect remnant, in Revelation 7] that God is true. [John 6:27 Labor not for the meat which perishes, but for that meat which endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him has God the Father sealed [sphragizo]. 28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.]
34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure unto him. [1 Thessalonians 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy.]
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
36 He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.

Isaiah 40
5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7 The grass withers, the flower fades: because the spirit of the LORD blows upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades: but the word of our God shall stand forever.
9 O Zion, that brings good tidings [basar – this gospel to my people, giving it as you have been given], get you up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that brings good tidings [basar], lift up your voice with strength [understanding]; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
10 Behold, the LORD God will come with strong hand, and his arm [the flesh in which he is revealed to those who believe this report {shmuw’ah – believing this is the voice of Jehovah, as it is in truth}] shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted [gave them by measure] out heaven [with full understanding] with the span [in the exposition in the firmament], and comprehended [what the wise of the world haven’t] the dust [the ruin] of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance [judging the powers that have risen over the earth and caused it to become without form and void]?
13 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counselor has taught him?
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?
15 Behold, the nations [those who don’t know Him] are as a drop of a bucket [so are their words and understanding when compared to His], and are counted as the small dust of the balance [their words are the cause of the ruin of the earth by their corrupt evil judgment]: behold, he taketh up the isles [these men, without His word, in power among the people] as a very little thing.

Isaiah 41
15 Behold, I will make you a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: you shall thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shall make the hills as chaff.
16 You shall fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and you shall rejoice in the LORD, and shall glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue fails for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
18 I will open rivers [flowing My words into the sea] in high places, and fountains [of these life-giving words] in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of [living] water, and the dry land springs of water [this word].

25 I have raised up one from the north [the Word of God among you, whom you have not comprehended], and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon mortar [to grind it into that which will bind together the stones of His habitation], and as the potter treads clay [to reform it as the LORD commands].
26 Who has declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that shows, yea, there is none that declares, yea, there is none that heareth your words.
27 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings [basar].
28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counselor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
29 Behold, they are all vanity [worthless]; their works are nothing: their molten images [their everchanging standards] are wind [of false doctrine] and confusion.

Isaiah 46
5 To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he makes it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he stands; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble [because it is a lifeless idol they put in My place and call by Me name].
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O you transgressors.
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end [‘achariyth – these last days] from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Calling a ravenous bird [the eagle to the carcass of the dead body of Christ] from the east [the sun rising of this new day], the man that executes my counsel from a far country [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed]: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Hearken unto me, you stouthearted [you men in power], that are far from righteousness:
13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off [rachaq – not be as evil men have decreed], and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.

Psalms 96
1 O sing [repeat the word He has given you] unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Honor and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Give unto the LORD, O you kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
8 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigns: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13 Before [in the presence of] the LORD: for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

June 20, 2023

O LORD, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, have you done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

19 June 2023

O LORD, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, have you done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

The above is David, in 1 Chronicle 17:19 (numbers speaking this time of the ordinal perfection of God’s people by His judgment), thanking the LORD for the things He’s revealed to give Him complete understanding of the future kingdom.

1 Chronicles 17
20 O LORD, there is none like you, neither is there any God beside you, according to all that we have heard with our ears [shama’ ‘ozen – when we paid close attention and obeyed].
21 And what one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem [paqad – visited as the Chief Overseer of the earth] to be his own people, to make you a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations [who don’t know you and now possess the earth You gave us] from before [paniym – by Your presence manifested with] your people whom you have redeemed out of Egypt [from the oppression of the tyrants holding them]?
22 For your people Israel did you make your own people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.
23 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house be established [kuwn – raised to stand] forever [‘owlam], and do as you have said.
24 Let it even be established, that your name may be magnified forever, saying, The LORD of hosts [a man of war] is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David your servant be established before you [paniym – by Your presence].
25 For you, O my God, have told your servant that you will build him a house: therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray before you [paniym – to Your manifested presence with us].
26 And now, LORD, you are God, and have promised this goodness unto your servant:
27 Now, therefore, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may be before you [paniym – manifesting Your presence therein] forever [‘owlam]: for you bless, O LORD, and it shall be blessed forever [‘owlam].

Earlier in the chapter, Spiritually speaking of the perfection, the completion, through Nathan (the giver {of God’s word as received}] manifesting His presence, the LORD tells David:

1 Chronicles 17
1 And it shall come to pass, when your days be expired that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, which shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12 He shall build me a house, and I will establish [kuwn] his throne forever [‘owlam].
13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before you [paniym – Saul {desired: chosen by the people} in whom My presence was manifested]:
14 But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever [‘owlam]: and his throne shall be established [kuwn – raised to stand] for evermore [‘owlam].

So, many ignorant voices oppose this message of the LORD, saying the above was fulfilled in Solomon naturally, and the LORD Jesus Spiritually. The LORD Himself tells us these were not fulfillments, not the completion, not the final perfection when the throne is established (raised to stand forever). The reason is the time of ignorance, darkness covering the deep, wasn’t ended, and the generation that immediately followed these two moments of great light quickly backslid into the same corruption (putting their abominations, the creations of men, in the place of the holy).

This pattern of corruption occurring quickly after the work of constituting a perfect understanding is evident in our time in the degeneration since our Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights, until now when the whole lump (the principles of inalienable God-given rights, self-evident truths, and the government instituted under the law of nature and natures God to protect and defend them) is leavened by men’s corruption (as were the Law, the King-line/kingdom, and the Testament of the LORD Jesus).

Luke 19 [the judgment of the Chief Overseer]
37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name [manifesting the identity] of the LORD: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees [who’ve scattered the flock] from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke your disciples [Your students].
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are [by the ignorance learned from those who’ve darkened your minds and scatter the ONE BODY] hid from your eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side,
44 And shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone upon another [that shall not be scattered]; because you knew not the time of your visitation [episkope – time of the Chief Overseer coming to reset the foundations of the earth].
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold [salvation] therein, and them that [think it can be] bought;
46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer [the conversation with the LORD, above His mercy seat where His presence is manifested]: but you have made it a den of thieves [selling salvation and robbing the treasury to consume it into your own belly].
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

As previously discussed, and thereby we know and understand, the four times used Greek word episkope means “inspection (for relief); by implication, superintendence; specially, the Christian “episcopate”:–the office of a “bishop”, bishoprick, visitation.” It is the equivalent of the Hebrew word pqaddah (from paqad), which we know from Acts 1:20, when Luke records Peter quoting from Psalms 109:8.

Acts 1
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, “Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein” [from Psalms 69:25]: and his bishopric [episkope] let another take [from Psalms 109:8].

Peter (here in Acts 1:20) speaks of Judas’ (Judah’s) replacement at the time of “visitation” he speaks of, in 1 Peter 2:12, in which he also describes the difference: when the LORD comes to “punish” (paqad) all those who refuse to obey this gospel, and is admired in all those who do believe it is Him.

1 Peter 2
3 If so be you have tasted [in this word of God] 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 in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
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 offene, 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 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 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 [episkope – the day the LORD comes as the Chief Overseer of the earth].

2 Thessalonians 1
2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ.
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet [appropriate], because that your faith [in the LORD with us] grows exceedingly, and the charity [agape – receiving and giving this Word of God from His mouth, by which man lives] of every one of you all toward each other abounds;
4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the LORD Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the LORD, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints [in this day of the visitation], and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed [to be the Word of God to you, as it is]) in that day.

Psalms 69
6 Let not them that wait on you, O LORD God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek you be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
7 Because for your sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face.
8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
9 For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.
10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb [a mystery] to them.
12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
13 But as for me, my prayer is unto you, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation.
14 Deliver me out of the mire [the understanding men have clouded by their ways], and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters [wherein the wicked are drowned].
15 Let not the waterflood [of corrupt men’s words] overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up [into the belly of their hell], and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me [as their words hold others in their graves].
16 Hear me, O LORD; for your lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of your tender mercies.
17 And hide not your face [Your presence] from your servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.
19 You have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: my adversaries are all before you.
20 Reproach has broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me also gall [their venom] for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar [their bitterness] to drink.
22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation [of the current crop of corrupt leaders] be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom you have [sent to be] smitten [by them]; and they talk to the grief of those whom you have [sent to be] wounded [by them].
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into your righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let your salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song [repeating the words He’s put in my mouth, as He commands], and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

Psalms 109
1 Hold not your peace, O God of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set you a wicked man over him [as it is]: and let Satan stand at his right hand [as he does].
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office [pquddah].
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he has; and let the strangers spoil his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

When Peter and Paul speak of the day of the LORD’s vengeance as the time of the visitation, they are referring to the LORD’s decreed appointed time (mare’ choq – merchaq) to end the corrupt earth and begin the new, wherein dwells righteousness.

Isaiah 10
1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
3 And what will you do in the day of visitation [pquddah], and in the desolation which shall come from far [merchaq – in this appointed time I have decreed]? to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory?
4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 O Assyrian [communists – Obama, his she-man, and their useful idiot son Brandon now, in power, confederate with China, and other enemies foreign and domestic], the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.
6 I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Howbeit he means not so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
8 For he says, Are not my princes [the corrupt infesting all institutions] altogether kings?

Jeremiah 8
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts.
4 Moreover you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6 I hearkened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times [mow’ed]; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8 How do you say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one deals falsely.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation [pquddah] they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
13 I will surely consume them, says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defensed cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall [the venomous word of our enemies] to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan [the sound of war and the judgment of God]: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you [with venom in their mouths], which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says the LORD.
18 When I would comfort myself [My ONE BODY] against sorrow, my heart is faint in me [My ONE BODY].
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country [merchaq – this decreed time of the end]: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images [the corruption they’ve created and put in My place], and with strange vanities [worthless ways that are far from Mine]?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black [My ONE BODY is ignorant and dead]; astonishment has taken hold on me [all My scattered and lost people].
22 Is there no balm in Gilead [is there no cure in this life-giving word, the testimony from the LORD’s mouth, by which man lives]; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? [It’s because they reject this word and don’t know this time of the visitation.]

Jeremiah 31
10 Hear the word of the LORD, O you nations, and declare it in the isles [the dry places among the people without this word of God] afar off [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed], and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.
11 For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing [repeat this word as received. – when will this sink in? how long will you rebel?] in the height of Zion, and shall flow together [into His ONE BODY] to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13 Then shall the virgin [who are not defiled by the old corruption of wicked men] rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says the LORD.
15 Thus says the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not [yet born again, because they are ignorant of this appointed time].
16 Thus says the LORD; Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears: for your work [giving this word of the LORD as received] shall be rewarded, says the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 And there is hope in your end [‘achariyth – these last days], says the LORD, that your children shall come again to their own border.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim [God’s people, Rachel’s children, in this generation] bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised [corrected] me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke [refusing to be joined with the LORD in this work]: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my [ignorant] youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, says the LORD.
21 Set you up waymarks [tsiyuwn – the burial place of the man of God], make you high heaps: set your heart toward the highway, even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
22 How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass [gather around] a man.

Isaiah 46
1 Bel bows down [the idols men have created and put in My place], Nebo [the false prophets] stoops, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast [unbearable to men without My Spirit].
2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity [in confusion, beyond Babylon].
3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly [of hell], which are carried from the womb [born again by coming out of confusion]:
4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
5 To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he makes it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he stands; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble [tsarah – tribulation].
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O you transgressors.
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end [‘achariyth – the last days] from the beginning [the new day], and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand [My purpose shall rise], and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Calling a ravenous bird [the eagle to the carcass of the dead body of Christ] from the east [from the sunrise of this new day], the man [who will be compassed by the woman] that executes my counsel from a far country [merchaq – the appointed time, which the LORD has decreed]: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Hearken unto me, you stouthearted [in power], that are far from righteousness:
13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off [rachaq – not be an unrighteous decree], and my salvation shall not tarry [‘achar – not put off to a latter day]: and I will place [nathan – give] salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.

Isaiah 9
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
8 The LORD sent a word into Jacob, and it has lighted upon Israel.

The word tsiyuwn (from tsiyah), rendered “waymarks” in Jeremiah 31:21 above, only appears two other times. It’s a tombstone, so those seeing it understand who is buried therein. It is meant to refer us to the life that springs from this ground, upon whose shoulders the church and state governments shall rest.

Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our report [shmuw’ah – heard and obeyed the voice preaching these good tidings as the voice of Jehovah, as it is]? and to whom [thereby] is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry [tsiyah – this way marker] ground [‘erets – in the earth]: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opens not his mouth [hiding His presence from those who see Him in the flesh].
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he has poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Jeremiah 50
20 In those [last] days, and in that [appointed and decreed] 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 [sha’ar – left alive: remain awake].
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim [the second rebellion of the fallen angels: messengers], even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod [paqad – of the place of the visitation by the Chief Overseer]: waste and utterly destroy after them, says the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded you.
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
23 How is the hammer [that beat the people] of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have strived against the LORD.
25 The LORD has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the LORD God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans [those who’ve used their deception to manipulate and control people into destroying themselves].
26 Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation [pquddah – the punishment by the Chief Overseer of the earth].
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon [the confusion that has ruled the world into insanity], to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.

The final time the word episkope appears is in 1 Timothy 3:1 as Paul speaks to Timothy about the office of a “Bishop,” which he also describes using the word episkopos. Timothy, sometime after this, becomes the Bishop (episkopos) of Ephesus. It is to him and others Paul speaks, in Acts 20, as in the letters to Timothy (a chosen soldier of God), warning of the apostasy, the falling away, that would very quickly come after his (Paul’s) good fight of faith ends in his death.

Acts 20
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men [because I have given the warning of the coming vengeance as the LORD commanded me].
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers [episkopos], to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood [the necessary sacrifice to give the message from God as received].
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock [scattering the sheep, not leaving one stone upon another].
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up [as the living stones of His habitation], and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified [by Him made and declared holy].
33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel [as have the den of robbers and thieves].
34 Yea, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 I have shown you all things, how that so laboring you ought to support the weak [in need of this strength: understanding that shields us from the words of the wicked], and to remember the words of the LORD Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give [this word as received from God] than to receive.

1 Peter 2
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the LORD’s sake: whether it be to the king [I Am – the LORD has now sent to oversee the governments of church and state], as supreme;
14 Or unto governors [leaders under the king], as unto them that are sent by him [the LORD] for the punishment of [ekdikesis – vengeance upon] evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 For so is the will of God, [His vengeance is] that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness [to do evil, as is the way of the current corrupt government], but as the servants of God.
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king [I Am].
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory is it, if, when you be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21 For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile [fraud] found in his mouth:
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judges righteously:
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.
25 For you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop [episkopos] of your souls.

The idea of the episkopos is understood in the once-used word skopos, meaning, “from skeptomai (to peer about (“skeptic”); perhaps akin to 4626 [skapto – to dig] through the idea of concealment; compare 4629); a watch (sentry or scout), i.e. (by implication) a goal:–mark.” It (skopos) means, to skeptically, not satisfied with what is seen superficially, dig for what is concealed; and compounded with epi, meaning superimposition, it tells of what is Found in the word’s (skopos’) one use.

Philippians 3
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things [that were concealed in my own ignorance] but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my LORD: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [my own ideas and ways] but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be FOUND in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ [the LORD in the flesh revealing all things real], the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death [dying to the flesh mind so all things Spiritual can be revealed];
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect [because perfection is reserved for our time, understanding those before us would not be made perfect without us]: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark [skopos – seeing as the LORD sees] for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal [apokalupto – in the apocalypse] even this unto you [when He comes as the Chief Overseer of the earth].
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an example.
18 (For many walk [their own way], 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 [in full understanding at His mercy seat, in the conversation in which He manifests His presence]; 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.

Psalms 67
1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face [presence] to shine upon us; Selah.
2 That your way may be known upon earth, your saving health among all nations.
3 Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you.
4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for you shall judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
5 Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you.
6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

June 18, 2023

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

15 – 17 June 2023

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

The above, Isaiah 8:13, is the LORD (today) telling us to focus on Him and not on those conspiring against His will (our salvation) and us. These conspirators are, in the verse before, defined as a “confederacy,” which we know spiritually is telling of the king and people of Israel (this nation) joining with foreign enemies (communist China and other American enemies), in an attack on Judah (God’s elect remnant).

Isaiah 8
9 Associate yourselves, O you people, and you shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you of far countries: gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 “Say you not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, ‘A confederacy;’ neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid.

The word rendered “confederacy” is the Hebrew word qesher, meaning “an (unlawful) alliance:–confederacy, conspiracy, treason.”

The LORD sends this warning, not to “associate” with these conspirators, to all those in “far countries.” The word here dubiously rendered “associate” is ra’a’, which is most often rendered “do evil” or “evildoers.” It’s saying: Do (join) this evil, O you people, and you shall be broken.

The word then rendered “give ear” is ‘azan, meaning to expand the ear, as in paying close attention to what is heard. The words “far country,” to whom He is speaking, are from the Hebrew words merchaq ‘erets, which we understand to mean this appointed time the “LORD decreed” (mare’ choq) for the “Earth.”

The above passage is speaking to those in our time who’ve not yet joined the conspiracy against God’s people, but dreading the wrath of the conspirator against any who don’t join (in their insanity, calling good evil and evil good), are contemplating surrender to their mass delusions.

When verse 13 says let LORD be your “dread” it is the same word (‘arats) used in verse 12 as we’re told not to “be afraid,” as those who’ve joined in this evil conspiracy were.

The word mare’ is Aramaic, and is only used four times, all by Daniel. It is the word the ignorant in power, who don’t perceive Him when He is speaking, use to describe the LORD Daniel (the judgment of God) reveals to them.

Daniel 2
43 And whereas you saw iron [strength: understanding the law of nature and nature’s God] mixed with miry clay [the weakness of the earthly: ignorance of the metaphysical reality], they shall mingle themselves with the seed of [weak-minded] men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
45 Forasmuch as you saw that the stone [the Rock who is Christ] was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great [rab – the Chief Overseer of the Earth] God [‘elahh – Yahh is God to Whom it appertains] has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter [‘achar – in these last days]: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar [the lies of the false prophets that now rule over the world in confusion] fell upon his face [‘anaph – his nose: perceiving the LORD’s presence in His judgment and revelation], and worshipped Daniel [the judgment of the LORD revealed], and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors unto him [to the One whose presence is known, but not perceived by the human eye or ear].
47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a LORD [mare’] of kings [malek], and a revealer of secrets, seeing [by His sight] you could reveal this secret.

In Daniel 5 we’re told of Nebuchadnezzar’s son, Belshazzar (the creations, lies, of men protect this king: spiritually speaking of Brandon, the son of Lucifer), knowing that God judged His father, did the same things, ending his reign and with him Babylon fell. Daniel reveals the coming end, seen in the hand writing on the wall, which (Brandon) in his feeble state, can’t comprehend.

Daniel 5
2 Belshazzar [“bel protects the king – bel: the idols, men, who exalt themselves as gods, experts, who use their positions to mislead the world], whiles he tasted the wine [and his mind was by the idols clouded: corrupted], commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar [whose misleading cause all understanding to be turned to confusion] had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house [family] of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them [and all became ignorant].
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts [his confusion about what he saw but couldn’t comprehend: the metaphysical reality hand writing on the wall] troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.

13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spoke and said unto Daniel, Are you that Daniel, which are of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry [Judah]?
14 I have even heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in you.
15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not show the interpretation of the thing:
16 And I have heard of you, that you can make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if you can read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, you shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 O you king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar [“may Nebo {the prophets} protect the crown” – referring to the lies of the false prophets who’ve misled him and the world, all its “wise men,” into ignorance, and there, by his permission, confusion, Babylon, rules over all the world] to your father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honor:
19 And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart [his mind without God’s Spirit] was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen [ideas that grew from the earth, the minds of ignorant men also without the LORD’s Spirit], and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high [the Almighty King of kings] God ruled in the kingdom of men [the metaphysical reality ruling the physical: nature’s God ruling], and that he appoints [quwm – raises and establishes] over it whomsoever he will.
22 And you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this;
23 But have lifted up yourself against the LORD [mare’] of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you, and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine in them; and you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know [anything]: and the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, have you not glorified:
24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
25 And this is the writing that was written, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.

So, Brandon, hear the word the LORD speaks against you: the writing is on the wall, the kingdom you rule, Babylon, has been ended, and your reign (the confused ruling by confusion) is with it ended.

Mene is from the four times used Aramaic word mna’, meaning “to count, appoint:–number, ordain, set.” Its use twice speaks of what the LORD has ordained, the position possessed, and the LORD giving it to another, as in verse 21 above. It speaks of the power to rule anything, even your own mind and body, ended and with you, and the kingdom of darkness has fallen. When verse 26 says it, the kingdom and your rule, is “finished,” it’s the Aramaic word shlam, meaning “to complete, to restore:–deliver, finish.” As we know, when Belshazzar was deposed, Babylon ended, and Darius (the LORD) became King.

Revelation 10
7 But in the days of the voice [speaking the seven thunders that were sealed until this season and for this purpose] of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets.
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven [full understanding from the cloud where it was kept as separated elements when it left the earth] spoke unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which stands [against the wicked] upon the sea [with the people, sending the Word of God as the sun rising upon all] and upon the [darkened and corrupted] earth.
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make your belly bitter [you will have the urge to regurgitate it as received], but it shall be in your mouth sweet as honey.
10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter [and it was repeated as received, as the LORD said it must be].
11 And he said unto me, You must prophesy [speak this word of God as received from Him] again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

The above is understood as the LORD sowing the good seed in the earth, as He explains, reveals, in His parable in Matthew 13.

Matthew 13
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather you together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 Which indeed is the least [I Am] of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a [ONE] tree [with many branches], so that the birds of the air [who fly in heaven with full understanding by His strength] come and lodge in the branches thereof.
33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven [corruption], which a woman [the unfaithful in the church] took, and hid in three measures of meal [aleurone {only used twice, both telling the same parable} – ground wheat: the people made feeble, crushed by corruption], till the whole [body] was leavened [was corrupted and became dead].
34 All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke he not unto them:
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet [in Psalms 78:2, the prophet here is Asaph {meaning gatherer} whose prophecy is in this Psalm of the LORD’s chosen site of His sanctuary], saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world [when We made the plan to make man in Our image and likeness, and that it would only take a few millennia].
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples [His students] came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels [the LORD’s messengers with this message].
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun [sending this understanding upon all who were in darkness: in ignorance because to the corruption, the confusion, that before ruled] in the kingdom of their Father. Who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Friends, I witness to you, the Church, the ONE BODY of Christ “in God our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ:”
2 Thessalonians 1
2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ.
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet [appropriate], because that your faith [in the LORD with us] grows exceedingly, and the charity [agape – receiving and giving this Word of God from His mouth, by which man lives] of every one of you all toward each other abounds;
4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the LORD Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the LORD, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed [to be the Word of God to you, as it is]) in that day.

As he continues in Isaiah 8, Isaiah speaks of the choice to follow the LORD by obeying His voice, and to reject the conspirators’ misleading. This is the point he describes in the chapter before: the recovery from the fall, which came by choosing to follow the advice that contradicted the LORD’s.

Isaiah 7
13 And he said, Hear you now, O house of David [the elect remnant, from where the king comes]; Is it a small thing for you to weary men [that they cannot long suffer to complete a task], but will you weary my God also [by not asking for a sign of the end reached]?
14 Therefore the LORD himself shall give you a sign [‘owth]; Behold, a virgin [the elect remnant who aren’t defiled by the unfaithful church] shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel [his identity is God manifested among us].
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that you abhor shall be forsaken of both her kings.

Isaiah 8
13 Sanctify [hallow His name – declare Him Holy] the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary [Immanuel – the one in whom the LORD manifests His presence, the king who is the kingdom]; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony [this word from the mouth of God], seal the law among my disciples [those who by choice have been His students].
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides his face [His identity] from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs [‘owth] and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwells in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits [speaking known ways of confusion and death], and unto wizards [the self-appointed experts – know liars telling known lies, false accusers falsely accusing those who oppose and expose their lies] that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God [His good advice]? [should they be looking] for the living to [evil advice of] the dead?
20 [Shouldn’t they be listening] To the law and to the testimony [from the mouth of God]: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light [understanding] in them.
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry [in affliction because they reject this rest and refreshing]: and it shall come to pass, that when they [the rebels] shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward [for help to the idols they call by the LORD’s name].
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble [tsarah – tribulation] and darkness [ignorance], dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness [deeper into delusion and insanity, following the advice of the dead, the abomination they put in place of the holy, which brought them into tribulation and ignorance].

Revelation 14
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb [the body the LORD prepared for Himself, the necessary sacrifice to bring His word as received] stood on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred forty and four thousand [the elect remnant], having his Father’s name written in their foreheads [His known presence in their minds].
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder [the sound of the light from the cloud, giving full understanding]: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps [the elect readied to repeat the same word as received]:
3 And they sung as it were a new song [repeating the word given by the king] before the throne, and before the four beasts [the four faces of the living creature, the life {chay} in the word sent as an unfolding vision of God], and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand [the students who are the elect remnant who’ve learned to refuse the evil and choose the good], which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women [the corrupt church that has blinded the minds of those who follow their evil way, standing away from God in apostacy]; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
6 And I saw another angel [the ONE BODY of Christ] fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of [these life-giving] waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon [the confusion that ruled the world] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication [her interaction with devils, learning the ways of evil men and refusing the good LORD].

The word “choose,” above in Isaiah 7:15 & 16, is the Hebrew word bachar, meaning “to try, i.e. (by implication) select:–acceptable, appoint, choose (choice), excellent, join, be rather, require.”

It (bachar) describes the place, people, time, the LORD chooses to reveal Himself in the trial: when he comes to save those who hear and obey His good advice, repent and refuse the evil holding them.

Job 34
2 Hear my words, O you wise men; and give ear unto me, you that have knowledge.
3 For the ear tries words, as the mouth tastes meat.
4 Let us choose [bachar] to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good [towb].
5 For Job [God’s hated people] has said, I am righteous: and God has taken away my judgment.
6 Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
7 What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning [of the world] like water?
8 Which goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men [who accuse them of being the cause of the tribulation].
9 For he has said, It profites a man nothing that he should delight himself with [pleasing] God [by becoming corrected in the trial of His good judgment].
10 Therefore hearken unto me you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11 For the work of a man [good or evil] shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13 Who has given him a charge [made Him the Chief Overseer] over the earth? or who has disposed the whole world [completing the matter of good versus evil – and which should rule the earth]?
14 If he sets his heart upon man, if he gathers unto himself his spirit and his breath [His work to rescue and sustain humanity, of which all the world has become ignorant];
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
16 If now you have understanding, hear [shama’] this: hearken [‘azan – expand your ear: pay close attention] to the voice of my words.
17 Shall even he that hates right govern [the earth]? and will you condemn him [those the LORD makes and declares holy] that is most just?
18 Is it fit to say to a king [Brandon], You are wicked? and to princes [the corrupt in power], You are ungodly?
19 How much less [is it fit] to him [God] that accepts not the persons [the positions that shield them from judgment by their own laws] of princes, nor regard the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of [created equal by] his hands.
20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he sees all his goings.
22 There is no darkness [ignorance], nor shadow of death [cast over all humanity], where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
25 Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
27 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he hears the cry of the afflicted.
29 When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hides his face [paniym – presence], who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
30 That the hypocrite reigns not, lest the people be ensnared [in their wickedness].
31 Surely it is meet [appropriate] to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement [correction], I will not offend any more:
32 That which I see not teach you me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
33 Should it be [remain] according to your [corrupted] mind? he will recompense it, whether you refuse, or whether you choose [bachar]; and not I: therefore [exposing your ignorance] speak what you know.
34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto [shama’ – obey] me.
35 Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom. [God’s people don’t understand they should sanctify the LORD God: make Him their sanctuary where He is found, and He will sanctify them that do]
36 My desire is that Job may be tried [corrected until he sees as the LORD sees] unto the end [natsach – until this goal is reached] because of his answers for wicked men [zealously declaring the righteousness of their own ways and not submitting to the LORD’s].
37 For he adds rebellion unto his sin, he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.

As we know, we’re told, in Job 42, of Job’s finally reaches the goal.

Job 42
1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
2 I know that you can do every thing, and that no thought can be withheld from you.
3 [You said unto me] “Who is he that hides [ignorance in his] counsel without knowledge?” Therefore, have I uttered that [which] I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 [Then You said unto me] “Hear [shama’ – obey], I beseech you, and I will speak: I will demand of you, and declare you unto me.”
5 I have heard of [shama’ – obeyed] you by the hearing of [shema’ – and obediently gave] the ear [‘ozen – paid close attention]: but now my eye sees [ra’ah] you.
6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

Deuteronomy 26
1 And it shall be, when you are come in unto the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell therein;
2 That you shall take of the first of all the fruit [the elect remnant – as in Revelation 14:4 above] of the earth, which you shall bring of your land that the LORD your God gives you, and shall put it in a basket, and shall go unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose [bachar] to place his name there.
3 And you shall go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD your God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD swore unto our fathers for to give us.
4 And the priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God.

16 This day the LORD your God has commanded you to do these statutes and judgments: you shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart, and with all your soul.
17 You have avouched [‘amar – promised] the LORD this day to be your God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto [shama’ – obey] his voice:
18 And the LORD has avouched [‘amar – promises] you this day to be his peculiar [sgullah] people, as he has promised you, and that you shouldest keep [shamar – obey] all his commandments;
19 And to make you high above all nations which he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that you mayest be a holy people unto the LORD your God, as he has spoken.

The word sgullah only appears eight times; the first in Exodus 19:5 and the last in Malachi 3:17; almost always speaking of how God sees His people.

Exodus 19
5 Now therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be a peculiar [sgullah] treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And you shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak unto the children of Israel.
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD has spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes [their garments spotted by the flesh],
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai [the thorny place, against the misleaders sitting in power].

Malachi 3
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 [shamar – obeyed] 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 [doubt the presence of] God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke [this word] often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book 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 [sgullah]; 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.

1 Peter 2
3 If so be you have tasted [in this word of God] 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 in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
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 offene, 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 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 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 [episkope – the day the LORD comes as the Chief Overseer of the earth].

Revelation 21
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, “It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end [of ages]. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Psalms 33
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loves righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap: he lays up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The LORD brings the counsel of the heathen to naught: he makes the devices of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he has chosen [bachar] for his own inheritance.
13 The LORD looks from heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looks upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashions their hearts alike; he considers all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in you.

June 18, 2023

They shall be my people, and I will be their God: And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

12 – 13 June 2023

They shall be my people, and I will be their God: And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

The LORD begins in the above, from Jeremiah 32:38 & 39, speaking of the “good” (towb) He promised to our children and us: in the New Covenant, when He writes His law in our mind. As we know, when written by Jeremiah, the leaders of God’s people (kings, priests, and prophets) rejected it and misled the people into complete desolation ending the kingdom (of Judah and Israel), scattering the people throughout the earth. It is in this state they remain.

I reject the notion (because it fails when tested by knowledge and logic) that the current worldly state of Israel is the nation gathered. They, the state (kingdom without a king) of corrupt Judah, remain in the same state of rebellion against God and His anointed, never having their mind rewritten with His New Covenant and, therefore, not in safety. It’s likewise with the scattered state of Israel, here in this nation, again backslid away from the LORD into apostasy: a state standing away from God, into confusion, delusion, and hell.

Jeremiah 32
37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place [New Heavenly Jerusalem, where full understanding flows from the LORD, and rewrites, resets the good foundations of the world], and I will cause them to dwell safely:
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good [towb] of them, and of their children after them:
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
42 For thus says the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.

Jeremiah 33
1 Moreover, the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah [Jehovah rising in me to raise His people] the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison [in the pit, the mire that clouds the waters blinding men’s minds], saying,
2 Thus says the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it [the earth], to establish it; the LORD is his name;
3 Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not.
4 For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts [the wicked risen in power], and by the sword [this word of God they refuse];
5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans [the foreign invaders who’ve used deception to manipulate and control the world into confusion], but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men [the wicked in power], whom I have slain [by this word] in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face [presence] from this [fully corrupt] city.
6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 And I will cause the captivity [the former state of prosperity under God’s rule] of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first [as ONE BODY].
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
9 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good [towb] that I do unto them: and they [those who don’t know Me] shall fear and tremble for all the goodness [towb] and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
10 Thus says the LORD; Again, there shall be heard in this place, which you say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts [a man of war]: for the LORD is good [towb]; for his mercy endures forever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, says the LORD.
12 Thus says the LORD of hosts; Again, in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him [the “one shepherd”] that tells [manah – constitutes: inaugurates this New Covenant for] them, says the LORD.
14 Behold, the days [have] come, says the LORD, that I will perform that good [towb] thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. [This speaks of the LORD manifesting His presence in the son of man, in the order of Melchizedek, the Priest of the Most High God, the King of righteousness, the King of Salem; the King of our Peace.]
17 For thus says the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

Hebrews 10
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 [of holies, into the LORD’s presence manifested in the conversation, above His mercy seat] by the blood of Jesus [the sacrifice necessary to bring this word of God, manifesting Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh He’s prepared for Himself],
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated [egkrainizo – inaugurated, constituted] 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 [which blinds us to His presence], and our bodies washed with pure [un-mired] 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 [agape – charity, freely giving this word of God as received] and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [episunagoge – a completed collection, in His ONE BODY], 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 [by the blood of His sacrifice] 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.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of [necessary to bring] the [New] covenant, wherewith he was sanctified [the Father declaring the Holy One], an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace [this gift that saves us from death and hell]?
30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

The second (and final) gathering is into His ONE BODY under one King (of kings), the one shepherd who repairs the breach between Judah and Israel, and they are again ONE Nation under God.

This final “one shepherd” aspect appears in this translated form four times. The last of these is in Ecclesiastes 12:11, written by the last king (Solomon) that reigned and kept the kingdom whole.

Ecclesiastes 12
1 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth [speaking to the young who would very shortly give advice to His son Rehoboam, that would cause the breach in the house of David, and divide the kingdom], while the evil days [of misleading advice] come not, nor the years [of desolation] draw near, when you shall say, I have no pleasure in them [the days of the Creator];
2 While the sun [church], or the light [understanding therein], or the moon [civil government], or the stars [all God’s people at large], be not darkened [become ignorant], nor the clouds [where understand is when its elements are separated and it departs the earth] return after the rain [after understanding was from there given, as it was]:
3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble [shall be shaken by the winds of false doctrine], and the strong men shall bow themselves [giving up the strength they gained from understanding], and the grinders cease because they are few [those doing the LORD’s work are silenced, as in beyond Damascus and Babylon], and those that look out of the windows be darkened [when the seers become blind and ignorant, unable to see what is coming or has come],
4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets [when none can enter the kingdom, into the LORD’s presence], when the sound of the grinding is low [when the voice showing the way in are silenced], and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird [when His risen presence is only heard as a still small voice], and all the daughters of music [who repeat His words as received] shall be brought low;
5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high [the wicked powers risen in the darkness], and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish [the first fruit that come: those realizing His presence and obeying His voice], and the grasshopper shall be a burden [devouring all new life as it sprouts from the earth], and desire [to hear the smooth {still – calming} words of God’s truth] shall fail: because man goes to his long home [death], and the mourners go about the streets:
6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern [now, when the word of God isn’t diligently searched for, and when given by the few who find Him, it isn’t valued or kept].
7 Then shall the dust [the ruin, when the earth is without form and void] return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it [as now, when all humanity, except the very elect remnant, are dead and ignorant of it].
8 Vanity of vanities [the worthlessness of the worthless], says the preacher; all is vanity [worthless – without form and void of life].
9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed [warning of these days and how to avoid them, or recover from them], and sought out, and set in order many proverbs [setting the good foundations of the earth for those who no longer understand them].
10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened [trustworthy] by the masters of assemblies [calling all to again gather into the LORD’s ONE BODY, His united kingdom], which are given from ONE SHEPHERD.
12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished [warned]: of making many books there is no end [qets]; and much study is a weariness of the flesh [without the LORD’s leading].
13 Let us hear the conclusion [cowph – the point of completion which the LORD is accomplishing] of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments [obeying His voice]: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing [dabar – every word or matter that has become hidden in men’s neglect turned ignorance], whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

The “conclusion,” from the five times used word cowph, refers to its other uses describing it as the termination point.

2 Chronicles 20
15 And he [the LORD’s Spirit, Him unknown, unmentioned by name, in the midst of the congregation: gahal, now the living elect remnant, the first assembled] said, Hearken you, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat [the judgment of Jehovah], Thus says the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
16 Tomorrow go you down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff [ma’aleh – what rising] of Ziz [the first risen new life]; and you shall find them at the end [cowph – the terminations, destination, completion, perfection] of the brook [nachal – the brook of the Passover spoken of in Genesis 32:23, when all God’s people ford Jabbok {Rachel into Raeford} separately, where, when Passed Over, they were reunited], before [paniym – present there with the LORD] the wilderness [in the desolation] of Jeruel [{there again} founded by God].
17 You shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand you still, and see [ra’ah – see as the LORD sees] the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against [paniym] them [showing the LORD’s presence in you]: for the LORD will be with you.
18 And Jehoshaphat [Jehovah’s judgment personified] bowed his head with his face [subordinating our identity so He is perceived] to the ground [‘erets – by all the earth]: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before [paniym – in the presence of] the LORD, worshipping the LORD.

The next time cowph appears is in Ecclesiastes 3, as Solomon writes, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven [the purpose is to give us understanding]:” and in verse 11 speaks of the conclusion.

The “season” he speaks of is from the four times used word zman (generation “Z”), meaning “an appointed occasion:–season, time.”

Nehemiah 2 [Jehovah’s comforter – His Spirit sent working unknown]
5 And I said unto the king [melek – Darius: spiritually Jehovah unknown, Artaxerxes – another appellative, meaning the great king, Xerxes – Esther’s husband also called Ahasuerus, meaning I will be silent and small], If it please the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you would send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchers [the graves where they are held dead], that I may build it.
6 And the king said unto me, (the queen [Esther] also sitting by him,) For how long shall your journey [mahalak – what walk {the comforter in the pilgrimage in the earth – the word only appears three other times asking and answering the question: in Ezekiel 42:4 were it is the “walk “to the inner chamber, the holy of holies, where the LORD presence is manifested in the conversation above His mercy seat; and twice, in Jonah 3:3 & 4, where it is Jonah’s three days “journey” through Nineveh, calling all to repentance.}] be? and when will you return? So it pleased the king [the LORD, the King of kings] to send me; and I set him a time [zman – the time of the perfection, the conclusion].

Esther 9
27 The Jews [Judah] ordained [quwm – were raised from the shadow of death, into understanding], and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time [zman] every year;
28 And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim [when the lot was cast into their lap, and the LORD disposed of it and delivered them from the precipice of death] should not fail from among the Jews [Judah], nor the memorial [remembrance] of them perish from their seed.
29 Then Esther [the star] the queen, the daughter of Abihail [the Father Almighty], and Mordecai [little man] the Jew, wrote with all authority [toqeph – the strength of understanding the threat], to confirm [quwm – to raise by] this second letter of Purim [understanding the lot that has been cast into our lap].
30 And he sent the letters unto all the Jews [Judah], to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
31 To confirm [quwm – to rise in] these days of Purim [see the lot cast] in their times appointed [zman], according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined [quwm – risen with] them, and as they had decreed [quwm] for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fasting [not listening to or obeying the commands of the wicked] and their cry.
32 And the decree [ma’amar – what words declared] of Esther confirmed [quwm – raised] these matters [dabar – words] of Purim [declaring the lot cast, this matter, and the LORD disposing of it]; and it was written in the book.

Proverbs 16
31 The hoary head [old age – with ancient understanding] is a crown of [God’s] glory, if it be found in the way of [derek – the course to life in] righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city.
33 The lot [gowral – the stone of destiny: the time into which we’re predestined] is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof [mishpat – this judgment day] is of the LORD.

Ecclesiastes 3
1 To every thing there is a season [zman], and a time to every purpose under the heaven [the purpose is to give us understanding at/of the completion of the journey]:

…a time to keep silence, and a time to speak [the conclusion];
8 A time to love, and a time to hate [the conclusion of evil]; a time of war, and a time of peace [the conclusion].
9 What profit has he that worketh in that wherein he labors [as is the whole duty of man that fears God]?
10 I have seen the travail [to bring forth these conclusions], which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised [to work out evil] in it.
11 He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set the world [beginning to end] in their heart [minds], so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end [cowph – the conclusion, completion].
12 I know that there is no good in them [that man can find out without the LORD’s leading], but for a man to rejoice, and to do good 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; and God requires that which is past [to be remembered].
16 And moreover I saw under the sun [under the church that has forgotten the understanding once delivered to it] the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17 I said in my heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work [which is to understand truth, with it do good, and work out evil from His ONE BODY]].
18 I said in my heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are [without His Spirit] beasts.
19 For that which [death] befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies [in the flesh], so dies the other; yea, they [without the LORD’s Spirit] have all one breath; so that a man has no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity [worthless without Him].
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust [created from the ruin of the old earth], and all turn to dust again [in the ruin of this now wholly corrupt earth age].
21 Who knows the spirit of man that goes [‘alah – rises] upward [ma’al – to the upper part, into full understanding and life], and the spirit of the beast that goes downward to the earth [‘eret – the belly of hell]?
22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion [what he shall inherit in the end]: for who [but the LORD] shall bring him to see [ra’ah – and obey] what shall be after [‘achar – in these last days] him?

Ecclesiastes 7
1 A good name [known identity] is better than precious ointment [a false perception in which men rejoice]; and the day of death [when what has run its course dies and leaves] than the day of one’s birth [in which is much travail to bring forth life that replaces it].
2 It is better to go to the house of mourning [that let the old corrupt ways die], than to go to the house of feasting [when men rejoice in their false perceptions]: for that is the end [cowph – the conclusion, the completion] of all men; and the living [who have thereby left death and risen] will lay it to [as the foundation of] his heart.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song [the worthless words repeated] of fools.
6 For [their false words are] as the crackling of thorns [misleading] under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity [worthless].
7 Surely oppression [‘osheq – fraud] makes a wise man mad [insane – bringing forth delusion he is unable to distinguish from reality]; and a gift [mattanah – bribes and tithes] destroys the heart [the good foundation of the mind].
8 Better is the end [‘achariyth – the end of days] of a thing [dabar – when wicked words of the misleaders are terminated] than the beginning thereof [because there in is much pain, travail, that must come before it is realized]: and the patient in spirit [who waits for the LORD to reveal this] is better than the proud in spirit [whose wrath brings God’s judgment].

Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus says the LORD God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
3 You eat the fat, and you clothe you with the wool, you kill them that are fed: but you feed not the flock.
4 The diseased have you not strengthened, neither have you healed that which was sick, neither have you bound up that which was broken, neither have you brought again that which was driven away, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have you ruled them.
5 And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
8 As I live, says the LORD God, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
9 Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
10 Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves anymore; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth [ywords by which they devour and swallow men into the belly of hell], that they may not be meat for them.
11 For thus says the LORD God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy [when understand has left the earth] and dark day [when ignorance covers the earth].
13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land [this nation God has given us], and feed them upon the mountains of Israel [the high place that will rise and rule the earth with me] by the rivers [this good world that flows from the mouth of God], and in all the inhabited places of the country. [Isaiah 26: 19 Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, you that dwell in dust: for your dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. 20 Come, my people, enter you into your chambers, and shut your doors about you: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation {za’am} be overpast {‘abar – Passover, destroying the sons of perdition}. 21 For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish {paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the Earth} the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.]
14 I will feed them in a good [towb] pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good [towb] fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. [Hebrews 12: 22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels {His messengers}, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the New Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel. 25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [with full understanding that only comes from the Father who resides therein]: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven {to shake the wicked who’ve corrupted it from it}. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken [in the conversation, the exposition in the firmament God called heaven, that rightly divided the word of God from the words of men], as of things that are made {by men}, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom {and a king} which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, says the LORD God.
16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
17 And as for you, O my flock, thus says the LORD God; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle [between those who serve God and those who serve themselves], between the rams and the he goats [between those leading into good and those misleading with evil they call good].
18 Seems it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good [towb] pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your [old and corrupt] pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but you must foul the residue [of your old and corrupt ways and ideas] with your feet?
19 And as for my flock, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.
20 Therefore thus says the LORD God unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle [those who prosper in doing good] and between the lean cattle [the weak and feeble without this word].
21 Because you have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till you have scattered them abroad;
22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
23 And I will set up “one shepherd” over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.
25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

Ezekiel 37
16 Moreover, you son of man, take you one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one [BODY of Christ] in your hand.
18 And when the children of your people shall speak unto you, saying, Will you not show us what you meanest by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one [BODY of Christ] in MY hand.
20 And the sticks whereon you write [these words] shall be in your hand before their eyes.
21 And say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have “one shepherd:” they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children forever: and my servant David shall be their prince forever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify [make and declare holy] Israel [My ONE BODY, One Family of God], when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

James 5
1 Go to now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches [the words and matters you think are valuable] are corrupted, and your garments [which you think protect you from the elements: stoicheion] are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust [which doesn’t occur in pure silver or gold] of them shall be a witness against you [showing they are mixed with deception], and [this corruption, the corrupt stoicheion: foundational principles] shall eat your flesh as it were fire. You have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 Behold, the hire of the laborers [the treasury you have robbed] who have reaped down your fields [you’ve mired with your feet], which is of you kept back by fraud, cries: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the LORD of Sabaoth [the LORD of hosts, a man of war].
5 You have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; you have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 You have condemned and killed the just; and he does not resist you.
7 Be patient, therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the LORD. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain [the word of God now taught with the understanding of heaven].
8 Be you also patient; establish your hearts [the foundations of you mind]: for the coming of the LORD draws nigh.
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest you be condemned [for there is none righteous but God]: behold, the judge stands before [stands present at] the door [thura – in the LORD’s name: identity revealed].
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the LORD, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the LORD; that the LORD is very pitiful, and of tender mercy [in the conversation above the mercy seat].
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not [about words and matters you think you know – because every table is filled with vomit and there is no place clean], neither by heaven [men have corruopted], neither by the earth [become without form and void of understanding], neither by any other oath [you’ve sworn to your scattered denominations]: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest you fall into condemnation.

The Greek word thura, above rendered “door,” means, “apparently a primary word (compare “door”); a portal or entrance (the opening or the closure, literally or figuratively):–door, gate.” It (thura) speaks of an opportunity to exit hell and enter heaven by choosing to believe the LORD is present, knowing His voice and thereby seeing Him, following His good leading, obeying His voice. This choice (to obey or not, opening the door or not) is what judges our eternal destination.

The unknown origin of the word (thura) is the Hebrew word tuwr, meaning “to meander (causatively, guide) about, especially for trade or reconnoitering:–chap(-man), sent to descry, be excellent, merchant(-man), search (out), seek, (e-)spy (out).”

Ezekiel 20
3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus says the LORD [‘Adonay] God [Jehovih]; Are you come to enquire of [darash – to search] me? As I live, says the LORD [‘Adonay – the King of kings] God [Jehovih – the LORD of lords], I will not be enquired of [darash – be searched] by you.
4 Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers [this defines judgment]:
5 And say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand [rose to work] unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself [My presence in Moses, of which they were unaware] known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand unto them, saying, I Am the LORD [Jehovah] your God;
6 In the day that I lifted up my hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt [of oppression under tyrants] into a land that I had espied [tuwr – searched out] for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:
7 Then said I unto them, Cast you away every man the abominations of [that blinds] his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt [of the tyrants who’ve distressed you]: I am the LORD [Jehovah] your God.
8 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken [shama’ – obey] unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
9 But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen [those who don’t know me], among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness [the place of desolation].
11 And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.

Judges 1
22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel [the house {family} of God]: and the LORD was with them.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to descry [tuwr – search out] Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz [the first life, the first to shoot forth after winter].)
24 And the spies [shamar – those who obeyed and followed orders] saw [ra’ah – seeing as the LORD sees] a man come forth out of the city [from the family of God], and they said unto him, Show us, we pray you, the entrance into the city, and we will show you mercy.
25 And when he showed them the entrance into the city [into the family of God], they smote the city with the edge of the sword [this word of God their leaders refuse]; but they let go [freed from their oppression] the man and all his family [of God].
26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites [land of the children of Heth], and built a city [New Jerusalem], and called the name thereof Luz [the first life after the long darkness of Abraham’s {Abram’s} deep sleep]: which is the name thereof unto this day.

Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days [‘achariyth].
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, you sons of Jacob; and hearken [shama’ – obey] unto Israel your father.

28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel [the whole family of God]: and this is it that their father spoke unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
29 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
30 In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah [meaning to repeat {where they wait to be reproduced}], which is before Mamre [strength – raised when it returns], in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron [where the sun went down and where the patriarchs’ are in their graves] the Hittite for a possession of a burying place.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth [from the word chathath, meaning it is the land broken down by violence, into confusion and fear].
33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed [until the enemies are made the footstool of God’s people, as the LORD promised Abraham – see Genesis 22:17 telling of now when we “possess the gate” of our enemies], and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.

Jeremiah 10
1 Hear you the word 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 of heaven; for the heathen [those who don’t know me or my voice] are dismayed chathath] at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe [to make it an idol].
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must need be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 Who would not fear you, O King of nations? for to you does it appertain [ya’ah – Yahh]: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto you.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities [without worth].

Revelation 3
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia [where My new nation was formed, and now fallen to the children of Heth] write; These things says he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens;
8 I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door [thura – an opportunity to enter the kingdom], and no man can shut it: for you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan [that resist this word and work of God], which say they are Jews [Judah, those saying they are the elect remnant while they rebel against the LORD’s leading], and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
10 Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation [doubting the LORD’s presence], which shall [has] come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown.
12 Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
13 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says 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 were cold or hot.
16 So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.
17 Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not 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; and white raiment, that you mayest be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness does not appear; and anoint your eyes with eyesalve, that you mayest see [as I see].
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door [thura – the opened opportunity to leave death and enter the LORD’s kingdom], and knock: if any man hears my voice, and open the door [thura], I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
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 says unto the churches.

John 10
1 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that enters not by the door [thura] into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter [thuroros – gate watcher] opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spoke Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spoke unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Truly, truly, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door [thura – the opportunity]: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf catches them [harpazo – raptures them away with lies of false doctrines], and scatters the sheep.
13 The hireling flees, because he is an hireling, and caresnot for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and “one shepherd.”
17 Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews [Judah – the current crop of corrupt leaders] for these sayings.
20 And many of them said, He has a devil [is possessed by a misleader], and is mad [insane]; why hear you him?
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that has a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter [the time of darkness].
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch [with full understanding at the entrance].
24 Then came the Jews [Judah – the corrupt leaders] round about him, and said unto him, How long do you make us to doubt? If you be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
26 But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them [harpazo – rapture them with lies and false doctrines] out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them [harpazo – rapture them with lies and false doctrines] out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews [Judah – the corrupt leaders] took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, makest yourself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law [in Psalms 82:6], I said, You are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 And went away again beyond Jordan [passing over the words of death] into the place where John at first baptized [calling all to repentance]; and there he abode.
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
42 And many believed on him there.

Revelation 4
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door [thura] was opened in heaven [giving understanding]: and the first voice [of the LORD’s archangel] which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me [calling all to gather into the LORD’s ONE BODY, in His kingdom]; which said, Come up here, and I will show you things which must be hereafter.

Psalms 82
1 God stands in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked [who’ve raptured them away with deception and false doctrines].
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness [ignorance of the time and season]: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes [who choose the darkness because their deeds are evil].
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.

Psalms 45
1 My heart is inditing [is overflowing with] a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 You are fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into your lips: therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Gird your sword upon your thigh, O most mighty, with your glory and your majesty.
4 And in your majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall teach you terrible things.
5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under you.
6 Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the scepter of your kingdom is a right scepter.
7 You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8 All your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made you glad.
9 Kings’ daughters were among your honorable women: upon your right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear; forget also your own people, and your father’s house;
11 So shall the king greatly desire your beauty: for he is your LORD; and worship you him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat your favor.
13 The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto you.
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
16 Instead of your fathers shall be your children, whom you mayest make princes in all the earth.
17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise you forever and ever.

June 11, 2023

Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.

8 – 11 June 2023

Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.

Psalms 72
1 Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness unto the king’s son [Your called and chosen].
2 He shall judge your people with [Your] righteousness, and your poor with [Your] judgment.
3 The mountains [His governing] shall bring peace to the people and the little hills [all their leaders], by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear you as long as the sun and moon endure [while the church and state govern by Your judgment and righteousness], throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass [as the word of God from heaven upon those who were diminished by corrupt leadership]: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon [just civil government] endures.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea [generation to generation into which this word from heaven flows], and from the river [through which this word flows] unto the ends [ending the old and corrupt and beginning the new] of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness [the desolate place] shall bow before him [pamiym – in His presence]; and his enemies shall lick the dust [the ashes of the earth they ruined].
10 The kings of Tarshish [who’ve fled from the oaths they’ve sworn in My name] and of the isles [the dry places that have been without this word of God] shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba [that have sworn oaths to Me] and Seba [who drank these waters] shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba [these treasures promised to those who keep their oaths]: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains [there planted by the LORD]; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon [purity seen on high shall shake the wicked from there]: and they of the city shall flourish like grass [on the third day of the new creation] of the earth.
17 His name [identity] shall endure forever: his name [identity] shall be continued as long as the sun [as long as His light, understanding, remains in the Church]: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him [the son of David, in whom the LORD manifests His presence, in the] blessed [with His judgment and righteousness].
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous [pala’ – distinguished by success bringing light] things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name [presence] forever [‘owlam – for all eternity]: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

The word above rendered “ended” is kalah, meaning to end by completion, the same word used twice in Daniel 12, after he uses it in chapter 11 while speaking of when the indignation (za’am) is ended.

(Again, pardon my digressing for a moment: and speak of the tribulation, the pressing upon us by tyrants holding reins of power in this nation and over the world, until these same evil men (in church and state) are removed (taken out of the way). Remember, they are without mercy; no laws will restrain them, they refuse reason, and they will never surrender. There is no limit to the evil they will perpetrate to keep power. They hold nothing sacred. These are the same people who kill millions of children without blinking an eye, and now, with the same disdain, openly lead those left alive into insanity as they celebrate (take “pride” in their success in) the mutilation of their minds and bodies. Let their callous disregard for innocence be a warning of the greater evil they will, as necessary, unleash.)

Matthew 24
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning [understanding] comes out of the east [with the sun rising of this new day], and shineth even unto the west [here sent upon all who come out of the corrupt houses of the dead]; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be [manifesting the LORD presence].
28 For wheresoever the [scattered] carcass is [the dead body of Christ], there will the eagles be [those flying in the heavens, bringing full understanding as received] gathered together [sunago – “to lead together, i.e. collect or convene; specially, to entertain (hospitably)”].

Revelation 14
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb [the sacrifice, the body the LORD has prepared for Himself – I Am] stood on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred forty and four thousand [the perfect number], having his Father’s name [identity] written in their foreheads [as the foundation of their consciousness, their awakened minds].
2 And I heard a voice from heaven [of full understanding of the time and season], as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder [the voice of the light in the cloud]: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps [playing the songs that are thereby given]:
3 And they sung [repeated the words as received] as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women [the unfaithful church]; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile [no deceit or fraud, as is the fault of all others not speaking this word, in whom there is no light – see Isaiah 8:20, speaking of “I and the children the LORD has given me,” saying of all, “if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them”]: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
6 And I saw another angel [messenger] fly in the midst of heaven [as eagles flying, giving full understanding as received – the eagle is the last of the four faces Ezekiel and John see {Ezekiel 1:10 & 10:14, and Revelation 4:7 & 12:14} of the “living creature {chay – life}” in the unfolding vision, by His word and work, of God’s presence], having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon [the confusion that has ruled the world into delusion and now mass insanity] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine [that deadened their minds and sent them into hell] of the wrath of her fornication [her interaction with Lucifer, through his sons of perdition].
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast [Babylon] and his image [there confusion and insanity they force all to worship], and receive his mark in his forehead [words written as the foundation of their minds], or in his hand [doing their work, spreading their confusion],
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God [this word against their evil], which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation [za’am in Hebrew]; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels [the messengers of God, His elect remnant singing His songs, manifesting His presence], and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name [manifesting the identity of Lucifer, as the destroyers destroying lives and livelihoods].
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in our flesh, to save the world].

Daniel 8
19 And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last end [‘achariyth – the last days] of the indignation [za’am]: for at the time appointed [mow’ed] the end [qets] shall be.

23 And in the latter time [‘achariyth – these last days] of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences [the words that darken minds], shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power [but the power of Lucifer, to deceive while claiming to be a light bringer, but the understanding is of the way into darkness]: and he shall destroy wonderfully [pala’ – distinguished by success accomplishing darkness], and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people [of God].
25 And through his policy [success by the ways he understands] also he shall cause craft [mirmah – fraud] to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace [claiming it while warring against us, destroying us, our nation, and our culture] shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince [sar – whom we are told of in Daniel 12:1 using the appellative “Michael,” meaning he is like God – opposed to those who are like Lucifer] of princes [through whom the light is returning]; but he [the children of Lucifer] shall be broken without hand [by the light that ends his success – the end of the days of darkness].
26 And the vision of the evening [the coming darkness] and the morning [when the light returns] which was told is true: wherefore shut you up the vision; for [understanding] it shall be for many days. [But yet, many men throughout the many centuries {many days}, false teachers and false prophets, in their pride, have claimed they understand it.]
27 And I Daniel fainted [the judgment of God became feeble in the hand of those without vigor, who didn’t protect and defend His word from corruption], and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

Daniel 11
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person [again speaking of the children of Lucifer], to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries [chalaqlaqqah – smooth words that hide treachery].
22 And with the arms [force] of a flood [of treacherous words] shall they be overflown from before him [paniym – separated from the presence of the LORD], and shall be broken; yea, also the prince [nagiyd – commander in chief] of the covenant [of the Constitution].
23 And after the league [made between both sides – republicans and democrats] made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people [the deep state].

32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries [chalaqqah – words of treachery]: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall cleave [lavah – remain among them] to them with flatteries [chalaqlaqqah – smooth words that hide their treachery].
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall [by this treachery], to try them, and to purge [of the deception that caused their fall], and to make them white, even to the time of the end [qets]: because it is yet for a time appointed [mow’ed].
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous [pala’ – distinguished by their success bringing darkness] things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation [za’am] be accomplished [kalah – ended in completion]: for that which is determined [charats – decreed] shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

The word “desire” (chemdah) of women (the church), which the evil in power doesn’t regard, is the LORD referring us to Jeremiah 12, and the “pleasant portion” (chemdah chelqah – desired smoothness), the truth (knowledge) of God that has, in the hands of men who haven’t regarded it, become a desolation.

Isaiah 30
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth [chelqah] things [saying the LORD says, when He hasn’t said anything to you, except what He has here said], prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore, this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly [pith’owm] at an instant [petha’].
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus says the LORD God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.
16 But you said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall you flee: till you be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign [nec – as the son of man lifted, the LORD’s word exalted above all others] on a hill.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

Jeremiah 12
5 If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the swelling of Jordan [in this time when pride has swelled into evil they call good: when the treacherous words of evil men in power have carried all into death and hell: here where those who rule the world, and those ruled by them, can’t distinguish between reality and their own delusions: which is insanity]?
6 For even your brethren, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; yea, they have called a multitude after you: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto you.
7 I have forsaken my house, I have left my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 My heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it cries out against me: therefore have I hated it.
9 My heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come you, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
10 Many pastors [ra’ah – shepherds who say they are seers] have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion [chelqah] under foot, they have made my pleasant [chemdah] portion [chelqah] a desolate wilderness.
11 They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourns unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man lays it to heart.
12 The spoilers are come upon all high places [sitting in all the seats of power] through the wilderness [in this time of desolation]: for the sword [this word from the mouth] of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land [‘erets – ending the old earth] even to the other end of the land [‘erets – beginning the new earth]: no flesh shall have peace.
13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns [their own misleading]: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
14 Thus says the LORD against all my evil neighbors [enemies mixed among My people, at war with them by treachery], that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit [this nation, in this world that belongs to Me]; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land [‘adamah – their graves], and pluck out the house of Judah from among them [the elect remnant first from among the dead].
15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them [the elect remnant] out I will return [risen with My resurrected ONE BODY and all the world will see Me again], and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land [‘erets – the new Earth I create].
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name [My identity], The LORD lives; as they taught my people to swear by Baal [the idols they created, put in My place, and called by My name]; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
17 But if they will not obey [shama’], I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation [those who refuse to know Me, and instead choose to remain in the dark with their evil], says the LORD.

John 10
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long do you make us to doubt? If you be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
26 But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them [harpazo – rapture them away with words of treachery] out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck [harpazo – rapture them away with words of treachery] them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews [the current crop of corrupt leaders of God’s people] took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 And went away again beyond Jordan [Passed over the words that carried all the world in the descent into death and hell] into the place where John at first baptized [calling all the world to repentance at the LORD’s mercy seat]; and there he abode.
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
42 And many believed on him there.

Psalms 82
1 God stands [unknown] in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.

Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be unto the pastors [ra’ah – shepherds who say they are seers] that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD.
2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the pastors [ra’ah – the blind shepherds] that feed my people; You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited [paqad – not been the overseer of] them: behold, I will visit [paqad – when I come as the Chief Overseer I will punish] upon you the evil of your doings, says the LORD.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds [ra’ah – seers: overseers] over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, says the LORD.
5 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch [new life sprouting from his root], and a King [melek] shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The LORD Our Righteousness [Jehovah-tsedeq, in His king Melchizedek – melek tsedeq].
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD lives, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 But, The LORD lives, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country [‘erets – this time of darkness covering the earth], and from all countries [‘erets – earth] whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land [‘adamah – the ground from where the LORD created Adam – again, from the grave, death in the ruin, ashes, of the old earth].
9 My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; [because of their lies] all my bones [of the dead body of Christ] shake; I am [to them] like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness [that I Am speaking to open their ignorant eyes and ears].
10 For the land is full of adulterers [who have left the LORD to follow treacherous men]; for because of [false] swearing the land mourn; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force [gbuwrah – their valor] is not [for] right.
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, says the LORD.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery [chalaqlaqqah – treacherous] ways in the darkness [their own ignorance]: they shall be driven on, and fall therein [their own treacherous ways]: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation [pquddah], says the LORD.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria [who worship idols they put in my place and call by My name]; they prophesied in Baal [the creations of their corrupt minds], and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing: they commit adultery [leaving the LORD to follow those they put in His place], and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none does return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom [who end in the flame], and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah [remaining in the ruin of the old earth].
15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Hearken [shama’ – obey] not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain [wortheless]: 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 every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. [Even as we reach the precipice of human extinction.]
18 For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD, and has perceived and heard [shama’ – and obeyed] his word? who has marked [qashab – let pierce the ear and sink deep into the mind] his word, and heard [shama’ – obeyed] it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind [the Almighty Spirit] 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 have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days [‘achariyth – these last days] you shall consider it perfectly [biynah – with perfect understanding].
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 would 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 [rachowq – this decreed appointed time]?
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.
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart [the creations of their own minds];
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name [identity] by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name [identity] for Baal [their creations they call by My name].
28 The prophet that has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat [their worthless words shall blow away with the wind and My word will remain forever]? says the LORD.
29 Is not my word like a fire? says the LORD; and like a hammer that breaks the [false] rock in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that steal my words [this word from My mouth] every one from his neighbor.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He says.
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, says the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness [giving no value to My words]; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says the LORD.
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? you shall then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, says the LORD.
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD [and then speak lies in My name], I will even punish that man and his house.
35 Thus shall you say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What has the LORD answered? and, What has the LORD spoken?
36 And the burden of the LORD shall you mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
37 Thus shall you say to the prophet, What has the LORD answered you? and, What has the LORD spoken?
38 But since you say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus says the LORD; Because you say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, You shall not say, The burden of the LORD [speaking lies in My name, and giving this word from My mouth no value];
39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:
40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

Daniel 9
7 O LORD, righteousness belongs unto you, but unto us confusion of faces [paniym – not understanding Your presence manifested], as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off [rachowq – this decreed appointed time], through all the countries whither you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.
8 O LORD, to us belongs confusion of face [paniym – not knowing this is Your Presence manifested], to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 To the LORD [‘Adonay – the King of kings] our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
10 Neither have we obeyed [shama’] the voice of the LORD [Jehovah] our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed your law, even by departing, that they might not obey [shama’] your voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
12 And he has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us [into] a great evil: for under the whole heaven has not been done as has been done upon Jerusalem [Your people].
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before [paniym – in the presence of] the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand your truth.
14 Therefore has the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he does: for we obeyed [shama’] not his voice.
15 And now, O LORD [‘Adonay – O King of kings] our God, that have brought your people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have gotten you renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 O LORD [‘Adonay], according to all your righteousness, I beseech you, let your anger and your fury be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of your servant, and his supplications, and cause your face [paniym – Your know presence] to shine upon your sanctuary that is desolate, for the LORD’s sake.
18 O my God, incline your ear, and hear; open your eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by your name [where your presence and identity is manifested]: for we do not present our supplications before you [paniym – in Your presence] for our righteousnesses, but for your great mercies.
19 O LORD, hear; O LORD, forgive; O LORD, hearken and do; defer not, for your own sake, O my God: for your city and your people are called by your name.

Hebrews 10
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 [these last 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 [of holies – into the presence of the LORD, where His presence is manifested in the conversation, face to face at His mercy seat] by the blood [this necessary sacrifice, speaking in His name: His Identity manifested] of Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh of the ONE BODY He prepared for Himself],
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated [now inaugurated] for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh [in which He is revealed];
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 [that it is Him], having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience [that blinds], and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession [homologia – same words] of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love [agape – charity, giving these gifts as received] and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [episunagoge – a completed collection – perfected in His ONE BODY, the end in completion], as the manner of some is [who remain scattered]; but exhorting one another [to join Him]: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching [this is the day of the LORD seen again by the world].
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.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions;
33 Partly, whilst you were made a gazing-stock [held up for public mocking] both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used [as I willingly have].
34 For you had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your [worldly] goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away, therefore, your confidence [that Father will do as He promised], which has great recompense of reward.
36 For you have need of patience, that, after you have done [obeyed] the will of God, you might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back [hupostole – timidly submitting again to the apostasy] unto perdition [apoleia]; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Daniel 12
1 And at that time shall Michael [who is like God] stand up [‘amad – stand against those who are like Lucifer], the great prince [sar] which stands [‘amad] for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – tribulation], such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust [‘aphar – the ashes of the ruin] of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting [‘owlam] life, and some to shame and everlasting [‘owlam] contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [give understanding] as the brightness of the firmament [which God called heaven: the exposition wherein the word of God above is separated from words of devils below]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars [lights in the darkness] forever [‘owlam] and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets]: many shall run to and fro [diligently seeking God], and knowledge [of God] shall be increased.

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that lives [chay] forever [‘owlam] that it shall be for a time [mow’ed], times [mow’ed], and a half [rightly dividing the time, that it is the appointed time]; and when he shall have accomplished [kalak – the end in completion] to scatter the power of the holy people [as in Deuteronomy 32:36], all these things shall be finished [kalah – end in completion].
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my LORD, what shall be the end [‘achariyth – these last days, the end of days] of these things?

12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [the end of days – we know from many previous studies, here it speaks of the time of Abram’s “deep sleep” in the darkness when the sun went down and he saw a smoking furnace and a burning lamp Passover {showing the way to ‘abar}. It is the time which began with Isaac’s birth {the son of the promise} and ended in these last days, in the fourth generation {the fourth evil kingdom of darkness upon the earth} – see Genesis 15:12 & 17].
13 But go you your way till the end be [qets]: for you shall rest [nuwach – the judgment of God quieted], and stand [‘amad] in your lot [gowral – predestine place] at the end [qets] of the days [yowm].

Psalms 35
1 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am your salvation.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel [mal’ak – messsenger] of the LORD chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery [chalaqlaqqah – ignorant that their fall comes by their own treacherous words]: and let the angel [mal’ak] of the LORD persecute them.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he has hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto you, which delivers the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoils him?
11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourns for his mother.
15 But in my adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects [those that stricken us] gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 LORD, how long will you look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18 I will give you thanks in the great congregation: I will praise you among much people.
19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.
22 This you have seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me.
23 Stir up yourself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my LORD.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to your righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at my hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall speak of your righteousness and of your praise all the day long.

And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

5 – 7 June 2023

And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

The word “indignation” is the Hebrew word za’am, meaning opposed by zealous denunciation. In the title verse, Daniel 8:19, it’s the LORD’s (za’am) against the evil kings described by Gabriel (the warrior or God) who gives Daniel this understanding. The enigma comes in the final verses when Daniel (the judgment of God) is told to shut up the vision, which is (in verse 26) described as “of the evening and the morning,” meaning of the coming darkness and when light returns.

The “shutting” comes with the darkness of these kings controlling the world, the last of which, in verse 23, is said to understand “dark sentences,” meaning the words that bring it. As we know from previous studies, this last king of darkness is the child of Lucifer: Saul Alinsky, whose children (the Clintons, Obama, with his useful idiot son Brandon, and all their evil ilk) use his words (bible), Rules for Radicals (written by Alinsky and dedicated to Lucifer), diminishing and destroying, as did Lucifer, to win his/their own kingdom (hell, a reality they reverse and call utopia).

Daniel 8
23 And in the latter time [‘achariyth – these last days] of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power [but the power of Lucifer, to deceive while claiming to be a light bringer, but the understanding is of the way into darkness]: and he shall destroy wonderfully [pala’ – distinguished by success accomplishing darkness], and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people [of God].
25 And through his policy [success by the ways he understands] also he shall cause craft [mirmah – fraud] to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace [claiming it while warring against us, destroying us, our nation, and our culture] shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince [sar – whom we are told in Daniel 12:1 using the appellative “Michael,” meaning he is like God – opposed to those who are like Lucifer] of princes [through whom the light is returning]; but he [the children of Lucifer] shall be broken without hand [by the light that ends his success – the end of the days of darkness].
26 And the vision of the evening [the coming darkness] and the morning [when the light returns] which was told is true: wherefore shut you up the vision; for [understanding] it shall be for many days. [But yet, many men throughout the many centuries {many days}, false teachers and false prophets, in the pride have claimed they understand it.]
27 And I Daniel fainted [the judgment of God became feeble in the hand of those without vigor, who didn’t protect and defend His word from corruption], and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

Before this, Daniel is told this vision is of our time, now when the LORD gives us the understanding: the strength to overcome the wicked one.

Daniel 8
15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 And I heard [shama’ – obeyed] a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai [Elam – the One voice that begins and ends the ages of eternity], which called, and said, Gabriel [God’s man of war], make this man to understand the vision.
17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end [qets] shall be the vision.
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face [paniym – present] toward the ground [‘erets – in a deep sleep present on the earth]: but he [with His words] touched me, and set me [‘amad – made me to stand] upright.
19 And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last end [‘achariyth – the last days] of the indignation [za’am]: for at the time appointed [mow’ed] the end [qets] shall be.

The word gowral, meaning “to be rough (as stone); properly, a pebble, i.e. a lot (small stones being used for that purpose); figuratively, a portion or destiny (as if determined by lot),” speaks what seem to ignorant men to be chance, while it is, in fact, the LORD’s providence (prepositioning assets and altering courses).

In Proverbs 16:33, it (gowral – the lot) is used to tell us it is seemingly randomly cast into the lap of the unaware, then saying, “but the whole disposing thereof [mishpat – the judgment] thereof is of the LORD [Jehovah].” The chapter begins by telling us it is speaking of the LORD’s “preparation” of men’s minds, laying a foundation that produces the “answer” of the tongue. The words “preparation” and “answer” are from words prefixed with ma, which we understand both ask and answer the question of “what is” the remainder of the word it’s fixed to.

Strong’s #4633: ma’arak [only used this once]: from 6186; an arrangement, i.e. (figuratively) mental disposition:–preparation.

Strong’s #4617: ma’aneh [only used eight times]: from 6030; a reply (favorable or contradictory):–answer, X himself.

Strong’s #6186: `arak: a primitive root; to set in a row, i.e. arrange, put in order (in a very wide variety of applications):–put (set) (the battle, self) in array, compare, direct, equal, esteem, estimate, expert (in war), furnish, handle, join (battle), ordain, (lay, put, reckon up, set) (in) order, prepare, tax, value.

Strong’s #6030: `anah: a primitive root; properly, to eye or (generally) to heed, i.e. pay attention; by implication, to respond; by extens. to begin to speak; specifically to sing, shout, testify, announce:–give account, afflict (by mistake for 6031), (cause to, give) answer, bring low (by mistake for 6031), cry, hear, Leannoth, lift up, say, X scholar, (give a) shout, sing (together by course), speak, testify, utter, (bear) witness.

Proverbs 16
1 The preparations of the heart in man [putting the minds of men in order, and bringing them to join the battle, at Armageddon – the appointed rendezvous], and the answer of the tongue [prepared to speak the word of God as received, declaring it] is from the LORD.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weighs the spirits.
3 Commit your works unto the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.
4 The LORD has made all things for himself [ma’aneh – so the answer given is His]: yea, even [to answer] the wicked for the day of evil.
5 Every one that is proud [refusing to be rightly ordered by the LORD] in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand [in that battle against Him], he shall not be unpunished.
6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
7 When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9 A man’s heart devises his way: but [no matter what man plans] the LORD directs his steps [according to His plan and purpose].
10 A divine sentence [from the LORD] is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresses not in judgment [mishpat].
11 A just weight and balance [righteous judgments] are the LORD’s: all the weights of the bag are his [good] work.
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness [as do the evil powers of our time]: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips [prepared by the LORD] are the delight of kings; and they love him that speak right.
14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15 In the light [understanding] of the king’s countenance [presence] is life; and his favor is as a cloud [giving the LORD’s understanding from heaven] of the latter rain [His word sent from there].
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17 The highway [the way to rising from the dead] of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keeps his way preserves his soul.
18 Pride goes before destruction and a haughty [gobahh – thinking they dig pits to trap Yahh] spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that handles a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusts in the LORD, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increase learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that has it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth and adds learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that labors [for wickedness] labors for himself; for his mouth craves it of him.
27 An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire [of hell].
28 A froward man [who twists and perverts truth] soweth strife: and a whisperer [falsely accusing] separates chief friends.
29 A violent man entices his neighbor, and leads him into the way that is not good.
30 He shuts his eyes [to reality] to devise froward things [that are twisted perversions of truth]: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33 The lot [gowral] is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof [mishpat – judgment] is of the LORD.

Jeremiah 48
25 The horn [the power] of Moab [whose mouth are the gates holding God’s people in hell] is cut off, and his arm [his work] is broken, says the LORD.
26 Make you him drunken [with his power, and thereby void of right reason]: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit [the words they spew], and he also shall be in derision [laughed at for their obvious ignorance, of which they are blindly unaware].
27 For was not Israel a derision unto you? was he found among thieves? for since you spoke of him [laid your trap for him, so you could rob his treasury], you skips for joy [as a thief with what he got away with].
28 O you that dwell in Moab, leave the cities [that are desolate, as hell in which they hold you], and dwell in the rock [with Christ from where these freeing waters flow], and be like the dove [that Knows this is the end time and this is the promised destination reached] that makes her nest in the sides of the hole’s mouth [of the Rock, from where flows the word from the mouth of God].
29 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness [gobahh – thinking his words, as a pit dug {hell}, can trap and hold Yahh as they have His people], and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart [blindly not knowing He’s come into hell by choice and will leave, with those He’s ransomed, at his will].
30 I know his wrath, says the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it [My preparation and plan].

Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

When the LORD asks the question of Peter, there called Simon Peter, who answers that He is Christ, revealed to him by the Father, He (the LORD) says upon this Rock (by confessing Him, joining the LORD in His ONE BODY of Christ) he will build His church (the ONE BODY) and the gates of hell shall not prevail in the battle against it. The LORD then calls him Simon BarJonah, the latter name meaning he is the first to come from the whale’s belly, which Jonah called (in Jonah 2:2) the belly of hell: Sheol, the habitation of the dead.

As we know, when the LORD describes the “whale’s” belly, He used the once-used Greek word ketos, which is from the once (by Him) used word chasma, which is the great “gulf” (the wide open mouths of men who devour and swallow people into the belly of hell) between heaven and hell, which He says no man can cross. This last statement (that no man can cross), is what He is speaking of when He tells Peter, “flesh and blood has not revealed it {that he is the son of the Father in him} unto you, but my Father which is in heaven.”

The deeper meaning here is in the name Simon, from the Hebrew name Simeon (Shim’own), from the word shama’, which we know means “to hear intelligently (often with implication of attention, obedience, etc.; causatively, to tell, etc.)”

As we also know, shama’ is the root of the shmuw’ah, the word used to tell of hearing the word spoken from the flesh as the word from the mouth of Jehovah. Most notably, Isaiah uses the word, in Isaiah 53:1, telling us it’s to those who hear Him, His “report,” the arm of Jehovah is revealed.

Isaiah, earlier in Isaiah 28, says in verse 19, “From the time that it goeth 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 – to hear and obey the voice as the voice of Jehovah the Father].”

The voice is the one teaching “doctrine,” from the same word shmuw’ah, precept upon precept, line upon line, which he says is the rest and refreshing, but they would not hear (shama’ – obey).

FYI: the Hebrew word rendered “heaven” is shamayim. It’s first used in Genesis 1:1, telling us God created it with the earth before the earth became without form and void, and darkness covered the deep understanding that was present. Its second use is in Genesis 1:8, where God names the firmament (the result of the process) “heaven,” after therein separating the waters above from the waters below, thereby telling us the present word of God was mixed with men’s words causing the deep to be darkened and the earth to become without form and void.

The word shamayim is an intentional combining of the words shama’ (heard and obeyed) and mayim (water): the word of God heard from Him and obeyed by repeating it as received in its pure form. This is described as when the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters and said let there be light, and understanding was given to One first (on the first day), and then, on the second day came the exposition (separating the waters in the firmament) by the One, which (right dividing it in the conversation) God named heaven (the word of God heard and delivered as His, giving His full understanding to as many as received Him). This, on the third day, caused life to again come from the earth.

Isaiah 28
14 Wherefore hear [shama’ – obey] the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell [Sheol] are we at agreement; when the overflowing 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 [the Rock of salvation]: he that believes shall not make haste.
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 the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell [Sheol] shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
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].

Matthew 16
13 When Jesus came into the coasts [limit, the end of the time] of Caesarea Philippi [those severed from the love {of God} that bears their burdens], he asked his disciples [students], saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 He says unto them, But whom say you that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this Rock [the Father in you revealing the son] I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven [and all understanding will be opened to you]: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day [in the season when life returns to the Earth].
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from you, LORD: this shall not be unto you.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get you behind me, Satan: you are an offense unto me [because to resist to work of the Father that must be done]: for you savor not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me [that My identity will be manifested in you].
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father [revealed in me] with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Truly I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Matthew 11
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 word gobahh (from gabahh), speaks of the one to whom it pertains (ya’ah – Yahh), as if held in a place, and man thinking he can take and hold God by taking those in whom His presence, by obedience and diligent search, is manifested. It’s from the words gab (and gob – only used of the lion’s “den” in Daniel 6) and Yahh.

Some of the perceptions O God as Spirit are described in the uses of these words. Hidden in the written word, we understand His presence in temporal man is real, openly manifested at strategic points as necessary to give authority to the voices of those through which He speaks and works. Other men, inspired by their evil minds swelled with pride, lust, and lawless self-will, infringe upon others’ lives, liberty, and property, oppressing and afflicting many. It is against these men, the enemies of God throughout history, when their darkness has spread, victimizing the innocent and right thinking, taking them captive under the shadow of death they cast, the LORD has sent saviors. These are willing men He prepares to become obedient to undertake what can’t be comprehended through human intellect: in some cases, (seemingly to the human mind) suicide missions, all for the greater good of His ONE BODY; and in others, to exalt them into just leadership among those thereby rescued.

The idea, the failsafe of His purpose, is Him, while beginning in one (seemly alone on an island), though His message, entering to dwell in the minds of many. This has occurred in various forms (people) throughout history, “39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.” Hebrews 11

Friends, we are all here now, some awake and alive again, while most remain asleep to His/their identity. It is our responsibility, our duty, and our mission, to awaken them. You are those the LORD has called and chosen, as he did through Gideon, awakening us first, rightly ordering our minds to see as He sees, to speak His word, and act on His behalf – to save the world.

Hebrews 11
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

The above talks about the faith by which we overcome the world. It begins with first believing, having faith, that it is the LORD speaking of things not yet seen, to move us forward by obedience, knowing He is with us and sees what is ahead.

Hebrews 11
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims [journeying to this destination] on the earth.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country [taris – the Father-land, our native country, the heavens from where we’ve come].
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had the opportunity to have returned.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.

Job 33
13 Why do you strive against him? for he gives not account of any of his matters.
14 For God speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumbering upon the bed;
16 Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keep back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 He is chastened [corrected] also with pain upon his bed [while he sleeps], and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20 So that his life abhors bread [this word that will relieve his pain], and his soul dainty meat [this deep understanding that will strengthen him].
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Yea, his soul draws near unto the grave [shachath – the same as is rendered “pit” in this chapter], and his life to [chay – rendered “the living creature” in Ezekiel 1, speaking of the life in the word, the written word sent forward in time as a wheel within a wheel, the circle, circuit, of understand received and sent to give the same understanding by which we overcome] the destroyers.
23 If there be a messenger [mal’ak – an angel] with him, a interpreter [luwts – only used one other time in Job, rendered “scorn” in 16:20, thereby telling us the accusations of his three so-called friends are their own interpretation: truth polluted by their additions: traditions], one among a thousand, to show unto man his [the LORD’s] uprightness:
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favorable unto him: and he shall see his face [the LORD’s presence with him, manifested in His messenger He sends as His, Jehovah’s, Salvation {Jesus} in the flesh] with joy: for he will render unto man His righteousness.
27 He looks upon men, and if any [repents and] say, I have sinned, and perverted that [truth] which was right, and it profited me not;
28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit [the grave], and his life shall see the light [understanding].
29 Lo, all these things works God oftentimes with man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light [understanding] of the living.

Hear the word of the LORD to you scorners: empty vessels that claim you speak for God against me:

Job 13
4 But you are forgers of lies, you are all physicians of no value.
5 O that you would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will you speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
8 Will you accept his person [paniym – His presence in me]? will you contend for God?
9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocks [hathal – deceives] another, do you so mock [hathal – deceive] him?
10 He will surely reprove you, if you do secretly accept persons [paniym – the presence of others].
11 Shall not his excellency [s’eth – rising] make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes [‘epher – the ruin of the earth], your bodies [gab] to bodies [gab] of clay [vessels created to hold what ruined the earth].
13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand [by choosing to speak His word and do His work]?
15 Though he slay me [even if it means I loose this flesh life], yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain my own ways [arguing His righteousness] before him.
16 He also shall be my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
20 Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from you.
21 Withdraw your hand far from me: and let not your dread make me afraid.
22 Then call you, and I will answer [‘anah]: or let me speak, and answer [‘anah] you me.
23 How many are my iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin. [why do you say I should stay away from you? because you are holier than I Am?]
24 Wherefore hide you your face [paniym – from the LORD’s presence in me], and hold me for your enemy?

The “dread” spoken of in verse 21 above, from the word ‘eymah, takes us back to its first four uses: Genesis 15:12, where its the “horror” of great darkness Abram saw in his deep sleep, Exodus 15:16 & 23:27 where its the “fear” that comes upon the enemies among us, and Deuteronomy 32:25 where it’s the “terror” that comes upon God’s people from the enemies that are among them as their judges.

Genesis 15
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror [‘eymah] of great darkness fell upon him.
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that your seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 And you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation [now when the evil kingdom comes] they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites [those who exalt their words above the LORD’s] is not yet full.
17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down [when the light left and darkness covered the earth], and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp [the LORD in the flesh among us always, showing the way in the darkness, to this destination] that passed [‘abar – the Passover] between those pieces [the flesh cut in two – the old flesh then and the resurrected flesh now in the culmination].

Friends, understand the full message in the LORD’s covenant with Abraham:

Genesis 22
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes [by his obedience his eyes were lifted to see as the LORD sees], and looked [ra’ah – saw as the LORD sees], and behold behind him [‘achar – after, in these last days] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns [the final king caught by his own power to deceive: the enemies in these last days]: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-Jireh [said to, by dubious interpretation, mean Jehovah sees – the Jireh is actually yarah, telling of means by which He gives us sight: pointing out, as in teaching that flows from Him as water from a Rock]: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen [ra’ah – when we see as he sees]. [The LORD didn’t bring us here, into this Earth, to die, but to, through the obedience of one, make us as many as the sands of the sea shore and the stars of heaven in the resurrection now underway.]
15 And the angel [mal’ak – messenger] of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, says the LORD, for because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son [your ONE BODY]:
17 That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and your seed [in these last days, at the expected end] shall possess [yarash – seize and occupy] the gate of his enemies;
18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed [shama’] my voice.

Exodus 15
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh’s [the great house of evil kings] 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 [came together as understanding in our minds] in the heart of the sea [in the minds of the people at large].
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 [by Your Almighty Spirit], 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 unto your holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina [the invading army now in control of all the seats of power in the institutions they’ve corrupted].
15 Then the dukes of Edom [the elites of the enemies mixed among us] shall be amazed [bahal – tremble inside: fear and panic because they know what is coming]; the mighty men of Moab [whose mouths are the gates holding the world in hell], trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan [the wicked now possessing the land by possessing the minds of the sleeping dead] shall melt away [from the heat of the fires they’ve caused].
16 Fear [‘eymah] and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm they shall be as still [damam – dumb, paralyzed by fear] as a stone; till your people pass over [‘abar – Passover], O LORD, till the people pass over [‘abar – Passover], which you have purchased [qanah – resurrected].
17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which you have made for you to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which your hands have established.
18 The LORD shall reign forever and ever.

Exodus 23
20 Behold, I send an Angel [mal’ak – My messenger] before you [paniym – as My presence manifested], to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [identity] is in him.
22 But if you shall indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto your enemies, and an adversary unto your adversaries.
23 For my Angel [mal’ak – My messenger who is a man of war] shall go before you, and bring you in unto the Amorites [those who exalt their words above Mine], and the Hittites [who’ve cause fear and confusion among you], and the Perizzites [those who’ve scattered My ONE BODY], and the Canaanites [those possessing the earth], the Hivites [possessing her cities], and the Jebusites [those who’ve taken My people captive: the corrupt crop of leaders against whom My wrath has come]: and I will cut them off.
24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but you shall utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images [these things they’ve created and force you to worship].
25 And you shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless your bread, and your water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in your land [‘erets – the New Earth I create]: the number of your days I will fulfill.
27 I will send my fear [‘eymah] before you [paniym – of My presence with you, in you], and will destroy all the people to whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs unto you [as they flee in fear of My known presence].

Deuteronomy 32
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them [the rebels that revolt against Me]; I will spend my arrows upon them.
24 They shall be burnt with hunger [without this word of God], and devoured [melting away] with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them [the tearing words of men among them without My Spirit] upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25 The sword without, and terror [‘eymah] within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27 Were it not that I feared [guwr – for them because they remained in] the wrath [ka’ac – the provocations] of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely [in ways My people, without My sight, are unaware], and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD has not done all this.
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end [‘achariyth]!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31 For their rock [those they listen to and obey] is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges [punishing them which corrupt judgment].
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison [words] of dragons [tanniyn – like serpents and whales devouring with wide open mouths and swallowing the world into the belly of hell], and the cruel venom [words] of asps.
34 Is not [the recompense for] this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongs vengeance and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left [with strength: understanding].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which [are men that] did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings [while they lied, saying it is for God and His work]? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and my hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenge upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O you nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

Psalms 121
1 I will lift up my eyes unto the hills [where the LORD is now seen as He sees], from whence comes my help.
2 My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper: the LORD is your shade upon your right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Psalms 32
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile [deception].
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: my moisture [what I thought I knew] is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5 I acknowledge my sin unto you, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this shall everyone that is godly pray unto you in a time when you may be found: surely in the floods of great waters [the words of corrupt men] they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with my eye.
9 Be you not as the horse, or as the mule [men without the LORD’s spirit], which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they [like the floods] come near unto you.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous: and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.

June 5, 2023

Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

1 – 4 June 2023

Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

The word above, in Isaiah 51:4, rendered “harken,” is the qashab, meaning to prick up the ear, which we understand means to let what is said pierce the ear and sink deep into the mind. In the chapter, the word shama’ also appears three times, twice rendered “harken” and once “hear,” meaning “to hear intelligently (often with implication of attention, obedience, etc.; causatively, to tell, etc..”

It (qashab) is telling of understanding (light) God’s law and judgment, which must enter the ear and sink deep into the mind of His people. The Hebrew word, rendered “nation,” He uses here is lom, meaning “to gather; a community,” speaking of His ONE BODY.

He says when they are gathered as One, the law that proceeds (yatsa’) from Him, is His judgment (mishpat) that (when sunk in) calms (raga’ – “rest”) them with the light (understanding).

Isaiah 51
1 Hearken to [shama’ – obey] me, you that follow after righteousness, you that seek the LORD: look unto the rock [tsuwr – the word that flows from Christ] whence you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence you are digged.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
3 For the LORD shall comfort [nacham – lead into all truth] Zion: he will comfort [nacham – lead into all truth] all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody [their songs repeating this word as it flowed from the Rock].
4 Hearken [qashab] unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation [lom]: for a law shall proceed [yatsa’] from me, and I will make my judgment [mishpat] to rest [raga’] for a light of the people.
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on my arm shall they trust.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens [compare the old {darkened: fully corrupt} to the new {light}], and look upon the earth beneath [and see it in darkness because of the corruption]: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner [and all, with minds darkened, are spiritually dead and on the verge of extinction]: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 Hearken unto [shama’ – obey] me, you that know righteousness, the people in whose heart [foundational mind] is my law; fear you not the reproach of men, neither be you afraid of their reviling.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Are you not it [arm] that has cut [chatsab – the same word rendered “hewn” in verse 1 – It speaks of a written description] Rahab [rahab – only used elsewhere in Job 26:12 where it tells of the LORD “dividing” {raga’ – calming} the sea, as he with understanding smites the “proud” {rahab}; and in Isaiah 30:7 where it is the “strength” {rahab} of our oppressors {Egypt} and the oppressed to sit still {idle: not doing as the LORD commands – the following verse saying, “Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever”}, and wounded the dragon [tanniym – serpents and whales who devour and swallow their prey with wide-open mouths – men whose mouths are the great gulf {chasma – the gate through which, without the LORD, no man can cross} between heaven and hell]?
10 Are you not it which has dried the sea, the waters of the great deep [wherein these things are hidden treasures]; that has made the depths of the sea [the revelation of things hidden] a way for the ransomed to pass over [‘abar – Passover]?
11 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return [to this understanding, by seeing Him], and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain [nasag – reach {this destination}] gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
12 I, even I, am he that comforts [leads in this good way, into all truth] you: who are you, that you should be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
13 And forget the LORD your maker, that has stretched forth the heavens [spreading them before you in this exposition: firmament], and laid the foundations of the earth; and have feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor? [Their strength is to sit idle while others dig their pits, and let whatever happens to happen, and then use deception to describe it, to create fear and deprivation, to control you into doing what they command, and you blindly obey them and their evil, while you refuse to obey good.]
14 The captive exile hastens that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread [this word of God] should fail [by not obeying it].
15 But I am the LORD your God, that divided [raga’ – calmed] the sea, whose [proud] waves roared: The LORD of hosts [a man of war, sent to rescue the captive exiles] is his name [His identity manifested].
16 And I have put my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the [new] heavens, and lay the foundations of the [new] earth, and says unto Zion, You are my people [My army, My flock, My ONE BODY].
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O [New] Jerusalem, which have drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; you have drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons [no, not one telling them the LORD has come to rescue them – instead, rejecting His words, they exalt theirs above His] whom she has brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand [tolead her in the right way] of all the sons that she has brought up.
19 These two things are come unto you; who shall be sorry for you? desolation, and destruction, and [these have come by] the famine [for hearing this word of God], and the sword [the same word against those who reject it]: by whom shall I comfort [lead into all truth] you? [There is only One good shepherd the LORD has chosen, called, and sent in His name, I Am!]
20 Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
21 Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22 Thus says your LORD [‘adown – the king sent in the name of] the LORD [Jehovah], and your God [with, in, him] that pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; you shall no more drink it again:
23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict you; which have said to your soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and you have laid your body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over [into their promised utopia which we now see is hell].

Job, in answering His accusers, in Job 26, where he also speaks of rahab (the strength of the rebellious), describes the LORD, His ways (unknown) calming (raga’) the sea, and thereby, He also defeats the wicked. He speaks in questions asking who among men has done the thing the LORD has done, as is reiterated in Isaiah above as he answers saying there are none.

Job 26
2 How have you [false accusers] helped him that is without power? how saves you the arm that has no strength [no understanding]?
3 How have you counseled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters [where the deep is darkened], and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering.
7 He stretches out the north [darkness – ignorance] over the empty [tohuw] place [the earth without form, as in Geneisis 1:2, saying “And the earth was {hayah – became} without form {tohuw}, and void {bohuw]}; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” This is where the LORD found us, His people; Deuteronomy 32:10 saying, “He found him in a desert land, and in the waste [tohuw] howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed {biyn – gave understanding, light, to} him, he kept {natsar – protected} him as the apple {while he was little among men} of his eye {by this endless fountain of living waters, by which man lives}.”], and hangs [talah – suspends {the sentence of death}] the earth upon nothing [bliymah – only appearing here, asking what corruption and ignorance: speaking of humanity’s deep sleep, when he has been ignorant of his own ignorance and idenity].
8 He binds up the waters [reserving His word and understanding there] in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent [opened by any man] under them.
9 He holds back the face [paniym – presence] of his throne, and spread his cloud upon it [reserving it for the appointed time].
10 He has compassed the waters [paniym maiym – the face of the waters: the word present on earth without understanding] with bounds [choq – decreed the appointed time], until the day and night [the end of days] come to an end [takliyth – “end, perfection, consummation, completion, completeness”].
11 The pillars of heaven [that hold up the current understanding that is now shaken] tremble and are astonished [tamahh] at his reproof. [Habakkuk 1:5 Behold you among the heathen {those who don’t know Me}, and regard, and wonder marvelously [tamahh]: for I will work a work in your days which you will not believe, though it be told you.]
12 He divides [raga’ – calms] the sea with his power, and by his [this is speaking of me, tamahh, Tim-Yahh, Timothy] understanding he smites through the proud [rahab].
13 By his [Almighty] spirit he has garnished the [shiphrah – gives brightness to the before darkened] heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent [leviathan – the ever-winding river, carrying the words men have forever changed, that keep men from seeing what is ahead, the foil against which the LORD reveals His presence miraculously].
14 Lo, these are [only] parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard [shama’ – obeyed] of him? but the thunder [His voice of understanding from the cloud: the sound of the light] of his power [gbuwrah – Might, strength] who can understand?

Acts 13
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets [in Habakkuk 1:5];
41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man declares it unto you.

Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt [to their oppressors], and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh [the house of the wicked who now rule the world], and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of [sitting idle, obeying] Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength [rahab] is to sit still.
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come [‘acharown – for these later days] forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus says the LORD [‘Adonay – the King of king] God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.
16 But you said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall you flee: till you be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted – so his voice is heard above all others] on a hill.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: you shall weep no more: he will be very gracious unto you at the voice of your cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer you.
20 And though the LORD give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers:
21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
22 You shall defile also the covering of your graven images of silver, and the ornament of your molten images of gold: you shall cast them away as a menstruous cloth; you shall say unto it, Get you hence.
23 Then shall he give the rain of your seed, that you shall sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall your cattle feed in large pastures.
24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of [these living] waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 Moreover the light of the moon [understanding of civil Government] shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun [the understanding of the church] shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up [chabash] the breach of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD comes from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
28 And his breath [the life from His mouth], as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations [those whodon’t know Him] with the sieve of vanity [bringing the harvests of their own worthless ways upon them]: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29 You shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept [qadash – when you declare His Holy One, repeating the LORD’s words as received]; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard [from His people], and shall show the lighting [understanding] down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian [communists in church and state] be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass [ma’abar – what Passover, this Passover], which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps [playing these songs with Him, repeating it as received]: and in battles of shaking [so the wicked will be shaken out of the new haven and earth I Am creating] will he fight with it.
33 For Tophet [the place of fires] is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he has made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath [the life from the mouth] of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, does kindle it.

The confusion of Egypt, above in Isaiah 30:3, is from the Hebrew word klimmah, disgrace (dis-grace), from kalam, meaning “to wound.” It’s described later, in Isaiah 45:16, as coming to those who make idols (fabricate words and ways people follow away from God).

Isaiah 45
1 Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus [an appellative speaking the king who is the LORD in the furnace with us], whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates [out of hell into his kingdom]; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight [the polluted pure]: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give you the treasures of darkness [hidden in men’s ignorance], and hidden riches of secret place [these treasures from the LORD’s treasure houses in the clouds], that you mayest know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name [your real identity], am the God of Israel [which I named and called you by].
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me [as it has been until these last days]:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun [the light of this new day], and from the west [its shining into the darkness that was covering the earth], that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil [the misleaders against whom My righteousness is contrasted]: I the LORD do all these things.
8 Drop down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open [her mouth], and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
9 Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds [worthless vessels created of the earth]. Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it, What make you? or your work, He has no hands?
10 Woe unto him that says unto his father, What begot you? or to the woman, What have you brought forth?
11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command you me.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out [this exposition, the firmament of] the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 I have raised him [I Am] up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD of hosts [I Am who is a man of war].
14 Thus says the LORD, The labor of Egypt [mitsrayim – two {double} straits, which the LORD said {in Matthew 7:13 &14} must be avoided as we navigate the way into His kingdom], and merchandise of Ethiopia [men covered in darkness] and of the Sabeans [drunken with power and thereby become without right reasoning], men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be yours: they shall come after you; in chains [restrained by My law] they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, saying, Surely God is in you; and there is none else, there is no [other] God.
15 Truly you are a God that hides yourslef [as You walk among the ignorant], O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded [kalam], all of them: they shall go to confusion [klimmah] together that are makers of idols.
17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: you shall not be ashamed nor confounded [kalam] world without end.
18 For thus says the LORD that created the heavens [the place where full understand resides]; God himself that formed the [the old that became without form, and void – now made new] earth [wherein dwells righteousness] and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret [but right here in the open sight of those only blinded by their own corrupted minds], in a dark place [to those so ignorant and proud that they will never see] of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek you me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right [by which the good seed comes to life].
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together [into the LORD’s ONE BODY], you that are escaped of the nations [all those who haven’t known the LORD]: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image [the idols they’ve created, even calling them by My name], and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Tell you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time [qedem – see Isaiah 51:9 above]? who has told it from that time [the word here is miyn {with affinity to min} which speak of the beginning of the species: king]? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me [as the fiery serpent was lifted by Moses in the wilderness], and be you saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed [zealous for their ignorance] against him shall be ashamed [when this end comes and they find themselves to have wrestled with the word of God into their own perishing].
25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

In the following chapters, we understand, in the word chatsab, the LORD is describing those among us as friends and neighbors, as the institutionalization of hatred toward His truth and therefore hating us without a cause. Throughout history, this corruption has increasingly embedded itself, becoming popular prejudice (popular culture), and culminating in a crescendo of evil against those speaking truth opposing their perverted orthodoxy. This normalization of evil and the demonization of good is the self-evident truth of the death resulting from the fall, natural law that is never, and cannot be, broken. Yet, men continually think (in hubris proclaim and decree) they can cheat and defy it. And all the desolate world, when it is now covered in total darkness, wandering in the wilderness, wonders what is happening while praying for the mountains and hill to cover them.

Luke 23
28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry [when, as now, My word isn’t heard]?
32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary [kranion – “cranium,” when these institutions of church and state took control of the minds of men, and killed truth and good] there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do [because they are ignorant and without sight]. And they parted his raiment [righteousness], and cast lots.
35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
37 And saying, If you be the king of the Jews, save yourslef [again ignorant of the truth, that He was saving Himself and all who receive His sacrifice delivering this message as received, and doing it in the Father’s name: identity manifested in flesh: demonstrating His character].
38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews [the King of Judah, the son of David and son of Joseph, the King of kings].

The word kranion is from keras, meaning, “from a primary kar (the hair of the head [thoughts that grow in mind and are manifested outwardly]); a horn (literally or figuratively):–horn.

The LORD uses this word (keras) once outside of Revelation where it is (nine times) the corrupt powers (horns of church and state) of the world, as one, with one confused mind, ruling the world, called Babylon; and (in Revelation 9:13) once as the four “horns” of the altar, when this voice is heard from the LORD presence sacrificing to deliver this message.

Revelation 9
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns [keras] of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand [two hundred million – roughly two thirds of the nation’s population – the army of the sleeping dead]: and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them [riding above the army in command], having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions [roaring words that cause fear]; and out of their mouths issued [hell’s] fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed [became dead in their minds, from the confusion that rules there], by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths [as confusion, turned delusion, and now mass insanity among the dead].
19 For their power [over their army they command] is in their mouth [the known lies these known liars tell, and the false accusation with which they falsely accuse any who stand against them], and in their tails [what follows, results from, their lies and false accusations]: for their tails were like unto serpents [devil’s misleading], and had head [kephal – meaning “from the primary kapto (in the sense of seizing); the head (as the part most readily taken hold of)”], and with them they do hurt.
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented [the calls to repent, from the one like Jonah whose come from the belly of death and hell calling all the repent and come out from among the dead, are what causes these men’s deeper descent into the evil they proliferate] not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold [calves they put in God’s place], and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

The other appearance (of keras) is in Luke 1:69, as Zachariah (Jehovah remembers {the sacrifice of those He sent with His blessing}) describes the LORD sending John (meaning dove, as Jonah, the dove) calling all to repentance as he comes from the belly of hell (passing over through the gates, the whale’s and serpent’s mouths, ever open devouring men and swallowing them into the belly of the earth), which {Passover} is described as coming by the “horn” of salvation raised up (out of hell).

Luke 1
35 And the angel [Gabriel – the warrior of God] answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown to the world] shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest [His word that has effectually worked in you] shall overshadow you: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.
36 And, behold, your cousin Elisabeth [in Hebrew Eli-Sheba – the one the LORD calls the queen of the south, who hears the one greater than Solomon, who comes like Jonah, rises with the LORD and condemns this evil generation, telling them they are the dead], she has also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary [the rebel, who now rebels against the corrupt status quo] said, Behold the handmaid of the LORD; be it unto me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;
40 And entered into the house of Zachariah [the LORD remembers], and saluted Elisabeth [the oath of God – which he spoke to Abraham, Genesis 22:17, that we will possess the gates of our enemies: the gates holding God’s people in hell].
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my LORD should come to me?
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 And blessed is she that believed [has faith that this is the LORD speaking His plan: will]: for there [with obeying] shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the LORD.
46 And Mary said, My soul does magnify the LORD,
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
48 For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty has done to me great things; and holy is his name.
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength [given this understanding] with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He has put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.
54 He has helped his servant Israel [the whole family that will rule the world with God], in remembrance of his mercy;
55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham [in Genesis 22:17], and to his seed forever.
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
57 Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
58 And her neighbors and her cousins heard how the LORD had shown great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zachariah, after the name of his father.
60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John [Jonah, the dove, the sign {calling all to repentance} of the end reached – in Hebrew to name Jonah {Yonah}, is from yayin (wine) meaning effervesced and intoxication – saying he escaped as a spirit, from the waters of hell that drunken the minds of this evil generation].
61 And they said unto her, There is none of your kindred that is called by this name.
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marveled all.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings [rhema – matters, topics] were noised abroad [dialaleoa – through preaching] throughout all the hill country of Judaea [the high places of the elect remnant].
66 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts [reserved them in their minds, waiting for the LORD to give them understanding], saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand [power and work] of the LORD was with him.
67 And his father Zachariah was filled with the Holy Ghost [the LORD in him unknown to the world], and prophesied, saying,
68 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel; for he has visited [as Chief Overseer] and redeemed his people,
69 And has raised up an horn [keras] of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70 As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath [sheba] which he swore to our father Abraham,
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him [in His presence], all the days of our life.
76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest: for you shall go before the face of the LORD to prepare his ways;
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring [anatole – the rising light] from on high has visited [come as the Chief Overseer to] us,
79 To give light [understanding] to them that sit in darkness [ignorance] and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace [that flows from His teaching].
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.

Job 19
22 Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh [in which He dwells]?
23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 That they were graven [chatsab] with an iron pen and lead in the rock [in Christ – the LORD manifested in the flesh] forever!
25 For I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand [quwm – rise] at the latter day [‘acharown – these last days] upon the earth [‘aphar – in the ashes, dust, of its ruin]:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this [old] body, yet in my [new] flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
28 But you should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me [the root of matter is to bring you out of corruption and into this new life in My kingdom come on the earth]?
29 Be you afraid of the sword [fear rejecting the great salvation that comes from hearing and obeying this word]: for wrath [the fire from man’s poisonous words] brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a [good] judgment.

Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you are wholly gone up to the housetops [left the brawling women therein]?
2 You that are full of stirs, a tumultuous city, joyous city: your slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle [but by their own words and ways].
3 All your rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in you are bound together, which have fled from far.
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the LORD God of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
6 And Elam [all eternity] bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir [the wall of men’s lies upon lies] uncovered the shield.
7 And it shall come to pass, that your choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
8 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and you did look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.
9 You have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool [the word of God remaining with His people on the earth].
10 And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have you broken down to fortify the wall [of lies and falsehood].
11 You made also a ditch between the two walls for [to hold in My understand sent to restore understanding to] the water of the old pool: but you have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it [the waters: My written word I gave] long ago.
12 And in that day did the LORD God of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth [repentance and remorse for your covenant with death, and agreement with hell, thinking you can hide yourselves under lies and falsehood]:
13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.
14 And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till you die [to all your old and corrupt ways and ideas], says the LORD God of hosts.
15 Thus says the LORD God of hosts, Go, get you unto this treasurer [into whose hands these heavenly gifts were given], even unto Shebna [what has grown in the place where vigor should be, vigilance in protecting and defending the pure word from corruption], which is over the house, and say,
16 What have you here? and whom have you here, that you have hewed [chatsab – that you write your own corrupt interpretations] you out a sepulcher here [making it a place of the dead], as he that hews [chatsab] him out a sepulcher on high, and that graves a habitation for himself in a rock [from where corrupt now flows]?
17 Behold, the LORD will carry you away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover you.
18 He will surely violently turn and toss you like a ball into a large country: there shall you die, and there the chariots of your glory shall be the shame of your LORD’s [the idols you call by My name] house.
19 And I will drive you from your station, and from your state shall he pull you down.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim [whom God has raised] the son of Hilkiah [whose inheritance is Jehovah]:
21 And I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your girdle, and I will commit your government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open [this understanding], and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.
25 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD has spoken it.

Jeremiah 2
5 Thus says the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
7 And I brought you into a plentiful country [America], to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.
8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal [the idols of confusion they created and put in My place], and walked after things that do not profit.
9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, says the LORD, and with your children’s children will I plead.
10 For pass over [‘abar – Passover] the isles of Chittim [the places without My word, now filled with brawling women], and see; and send unto Kedar [those remaining in the darkness], and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
11 Has a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit [putting idol in My place and calling them by My name].
12 Be astonished, O you heavens [the place where understanding should be], at this, and be horribly afraid, be you very desolate, says the LORD.
13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed [chatsab] them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water [no word of God].

Psalms 91
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome [words of] pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come nigh you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the Most High, your habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come nigh your dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
12 They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon [whose open mouths are the gates of hell] shall you trample under feet.
14 Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

June 1, 2023

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

30 – 31 May 2023

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

The Greek word rendered “was come,” above in Luke 9:51, is the three times used word sumpleroo, meaning “to implenish completely, i.e. (of space) to swamp (a boat), or (of time) to accomplish (passive, be complete).” It’s from the preposition sun (“sum”), meaning union or together, and the word pleroo, meaning “to make replete, i.e. (literally) to cram (a net), level up (a hollow), or (figuratively) to furnish (or imbue, diffuse, influence), satisfy, execute (an office), finish (a period or task), verify (or coincide with a prediction).”

Luke, the LORD in him working and speaking (writing), in his other two uses of the word, gives us its intended meaning. It defines this moment (destination) we’ve reached.

(Friends, suffer my foolishness, for the LORD’s sake, for little longer, while I tell you what I know. We, you and I together, with the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, have reached the greatest event that will ever occur in all human history. It is the resurrection of the LORD Jesus Christ, with us, from death and hell. Again, this is reality, and your opinion doesn’t matter or affect it. You are either with or against us.)

Luke 8
15 But that [this word that has lighted {rests} upon you as a dove: a sign of the end reached] on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel [keeps it within himself], or puts it under a bed [so he can remain asleep in darkness]; but sets it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light [understand as he understands].
17 For nothing is secret [kruptos – these treasures reserved for this moment], that shall not be made manifest [ginomai phaneros – generated by shinning: made publicly apparent]; neither any thing hid [apokruphos – taken away into secrecy], that shall not be known and come abroad [the original text says – made apparent {ginosko; known} when the shinning {phaneros: appearance} comes – the translation here tells of the end of the journey when we’ve all, with the LORD, entered the ship and sailed to the others side: “abroad”].
18 Take heed therefore how you hear: for whosoever has [understanding], to him shall be given [more]; and whosoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have [speaking of the delusion and insanity that has come upon those, the confused, without this understanding].
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
20 And it was told him by certain which said, Your mother and your brethren stand without, desiring to see you.
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it [as he has commanded us to join Him in His ONE BODY].
22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he [His flesh: His ONE BODY] fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind [of false doctrines, corrupt stoicheion {first principles}, and their confusion that agitates God’s people at large] on the lake; and they were filled [sumpleroo] with water [the words of proud men who’ve risen over the people], and were in jeopardy [as it is now under the tyranny of wicked and maniacally insane men].
24 And they came to him, and awoke him [and I Am awake], saying, Master, master, we perish [apollumi: Apollyon, the Greek name of the king of the bottomless pit and the devouring army that with him swallowed all humanity into death and hell]. Then he arose [from among the dead], and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water [the corrupt foundational principles and the proud men using them to destroy humanity]: and they ceased, and there was a calm [and the sea became as glass mixed with the fire from the LORD’s mouth].
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith [why, after experiencing these things, do you still not believe and refuse to obey]? And they being afraid, wondered [still not realizing what they are really seeing], saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commands even the winds and water, and they OBEY him.

As we know, the corrupt church’s day of Pentecost just passed. The true (so-called) fiftieth day of the Holy Spirit (the Paraclete), when the LORD manifests His presence by leading those who haven’t known Him into all truth: when He’s seen again as He ascends into heaven, isn’t known. As we also know, the church, in its early corruption, to control those who followed its misleading (as did Jeroboam, to keep God’s people from returning to their king, to Jerusalem where the LORD said He would meet with us, above His mercy seat, in conversation with Him face to face), created interpretations and days that have nothing to do with their true meaning.

The word Pentecost (pentekoste) is in truth from the two words pente, meaning five, the number of God’s grace: His gift, of these treasures, given; and the word hekastos, meaning “as if a superlative of hekas (afar); each or every:–any, both, each (one), every (man, one, woman), particularly.”

Logically, truthfully, the Pentecost speaks of when the LORD manifests His grace to each and every person, with ONLY One intermediary, Jesus Christ, alive in us. And the church, wanting to be lords over God’s people, couldn’t abide that happening.

Acts 2
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come [sumpleroo], they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind [the LORD’s Holy Spirit here manifested in His Paraclete], and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven [diamerizo – to partition thoroughly {separating the holy from the profane}] tongues like as of fire [speaking the truth understood by His teaching], and it sat upon each of them [as a dove descending from heaven and remaining].
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown, in their flesh, Christ manifested as they speak His word], and began to speak with other tongues [giving understanding to thing not understood before], as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews [Judah, the elect remnant there meeting with the LORD, teaching (yara’ – Jeru) the ways of peace {Salem}, as He promised], devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad [ginomai – generated through speaking the same words heard with understanding], the multitude [plethro – the many] came together [sunerchomai – come to the ONE BODY because of these utterances], and were confounded [sugchairo – because of the corruption comingled among them], because that every man heard them speak in his own language [and they understood the truth which they never before heard].
7 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans [part of the LORD’s inner circle, known because they speak as He speaks]?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue [dialectos: dialect – now understanding their words], wherein we were born [in corruption]?

1 Peter 4
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 If you be reproached for the name [identity] of Christ, happy are you; for the spirit of glory and of God rests [has lighted as a dove] upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters [allotriepiskopos – overseeing matters that should be left between God and each man – not as lords over God’s people – forcing your strange ways upon them].
16 Yet if any man suffers as a Christian [the identity of Christ manifested in his flesh], let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begins at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator [of this new creation].

1 Peter 5
1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof [episkopeo], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre [eager to gain what you lust for], but of a ready mind;
3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock.
4 And when the chief Shepherd [Chief Overseer of the Earth] shall appear, you shall receive a crown of [His] glory that fades not away.

Luke 9
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears [piercing your ears and entering your minds]: for the Son of man shall be delivered into [I have been betrayed, judged, and condemned to be silenced by] the hands of men.
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid [parakalupto – covered along-side, near enough to be grasped: received] from them, that they perceived [sensed] it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying [this matter of utterance: His silence ended with our speaking His word, receiving His students in His name: manifesting His identity].
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name [manifesting My identity] receives me: and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me: for he that is least among you all [giving up his identity to manifest mine to those in need My teaching], the same shall be great.
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in your name; and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
51 And it came to pass, when the time was come [sumpleroo] that he should be received up [analepsis – only appearing here, meaning when the scales {lepis} are taken up {ana} from their eyes, and His voice is exalted above all others], he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem [where He meets us, manifesting His presence in the conversation above His mercy seat, as he promised],
52 And sent messengers before his face [speaking His message by which His presence is manifested]: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans [God’s people who worship idols they put in His place and call by His name, devils, misleading men who exalt their words above His], to make ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem [where His voice is teaching the only way to sustainable peace and security on Earth].
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, LORD, will you that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume [analisko – defined it its other two appearances, see below] them, even as Elijah did? [Our mission is to give them this truth, as received, and only those who refuse this love of God, by their choice, are consumed in the fires caused by following the misleading ways of corrupt men]
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, You know not what manner of spirit you are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them [and is long-suffering them, not willing that any should perish]. And they went to another village.
57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, LORD, I will follow you whithersoever you go.
58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes [the wicked] have holes, and birds of the air [who have worldly understanding] have nests; but the Son of man has not where [no house, for all are corrupt] to lay his head [and my mind {word} isn’t welcome there].
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, LORD, suffer me first to go and bury my father [the dead in the houses of the dead].
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go you and preach the kingdom of God [this word from the mouth of God].
61 And another also said, LORD, I will follow you; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my [corrupt] house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow [doing My work], and looking back [to plant the corruption he’s left behind], is fit for the kingdom of God.

In the other uses of the word analisko, meaning “to use up, i.e. destroy,” we understand it is an effect of words against the truth, refusing to surrender to the Divine argument even when it becomes self-evident.

2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming [parousia – being near] of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together [episunagoge – a complete collection; only appearing here and. in Hebrews 10:25 where it says we shouldn’t forsake this as we see the day approaching {near}] unto him,
2 That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand [enistemi, standing in – impend, be present].
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away [apostasia – apostasy, standing away] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [as we know, this is a direct reference to Rueben, who put himself in his father’s, with Bilhah, for which he lost his birthright, which was then given to Joseph and his seed {Ephraim}];
4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped [God the Father’s place only]; so that he as God sits in the temple [the woman, His Church] of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now you know what withholds [katecho – holds God’s people down] that he [those who put themselves in God’s place] might be revealed [apokalupto – the real apocalypse] in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets [katecho – keeps God’s people from rising to meet the LORD in full understanding] will let [will hold them down], until he be taken out of the way [mesos – out of their midst].
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed [apokalupto], whom the LORD shall consume [analisko – with coals of fire that burn in their minds, doing them good, giving them this good word of God] with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy [katargeo – rendering them idle] with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him [the LORD], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders [after devils led all the world into apostasy],
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness [lies from known liars and false accusation from known false accusers] in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause [rejecting good and choosing to remain with their evil] God shall send them strong delusion [energeia – the same word used to tell of the word of God “effectually working” {change and salvation} in the mind of those who receive it as His – here it’s describing the same word working to “use up” {analisko} the minds of the wicked who reject {endlessly wrestle} with it and thereby become insane: as we now see them in full bloom], that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification [separation from corruption into purity] of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.

Galatians 5
7 You did run well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth?
8 This persuasion comes not of him that calls you.
9 A little leaven leavens [corrupts] the whole lump.
10 I have confidence in you through the LORD, that you will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubles you [by following his flesh mind and submitting to the lusts thereof] shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision [separation from this useless flesh], why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offense [skandalon – the trigger as part of the trap: the persecution that draws the troublers deep into the trap of the cross] of the cross ceased.
12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
13 For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty [away from those that trouble you, which cuts them off]; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love [giving the word as received] serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
15 But if you bite and devour one another [not understanding we long-suffer, with the LORD, not willing that any should perish], take heed that you be not consumed [analisko] one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in [the way of] the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh [that wars against the Spirit – doubting He is the LORD with us working and speaking through us].

The word rendered “obtaining,” in 2 Thessalonians 2:14 above, is the five-times used Greek word peripoiesis, meaning “acquisition (the act or the thing); by extension, preservation:–obtain(-ing), peculiar, purchased, possession, saving.” The passage very specifically says what is “obtained” is the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ (Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in our flesh) to those He has chosen and called.

Pardon me while I again digress: It has been brought to my attention that others, self-proclaimed “seers,” are saying they see Biblical patterns unfolding before our eyes. Their claim is that we are at a Red Sea moment when our only hope is God dramatically intervening – such as when parting the waters. These men are not against me, we who believe in His presence with us miraculously working right now, and, therefore, are friends and allies (even if they still sleep). The flaw in these men’s thinking is they say God must do something miraculous, like something in the past, when they fail to understand what happened in the past, continuing with the fables they’ve learned, and remain with them (in this, the Spirit mind battles to awaken their flesh mind). These men also say God must do it like they say (thereby exalting their words and way over His), so no man can take the glory. This is exactly the opposite of God’s plan, which is to reveal His glory in those He has chosen and called, thereby exalting (crowning) them as those He commends and proves: Good Shepherds who lead His people through the valley of the shadow of death, to lie down in green pastures, beside still waters. (Right now all those God’s people are listening to are in a state of panic, telling them to look here and there at all the enemy attacks. God’s people only need to look One place, to the good shepherd, the one voice the LORD has exalted, as a serpent on a pole, and He says, all who look here shall not make haste (run away in a panic), and SHALL BE delivered. The LORD says One thing, Obey His voice, and stop listening to those who will never be satisfied until it’s their way.)

Numbers 14
22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to [shama’ – have not OBEYED] my voice;
23 Surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley [the all the enemies of God throughout history possessing the Promised Earth].) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
26 And the LORD spoke unto Moses [whom He separated from the waters below – no longer following men’s ways and ideas] and unto Aaron [the light bringer – giving the understanding Moses received, as he received from the mouth of God: Moses], saying,
27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, says the LORD, as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
29 Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness [so they don’t remix their corruption into what I have purified]; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
30 Doubtless you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb [Kaleb, of Judah – the elect remnant, who receive this word as a dog {keleb} lapping water from the hand of God] the son of Jephunneh [in him is the presence of God manifested: God’s glory], and Joshua [Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh – of Joseph {Ephraim – see Numbers 13:8 & 16}] the son of Nun [the son in perpetuity].

Judges 7
3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead [leave this mountain of the LORD’s testimony]. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
4 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water [this word of God], and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whomsoever I say unto you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.
5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon [the hewer of men as trees – the LORD’s man of war], Every one that laps [laqaq, with affinity to laqash {leqesh}, meaning to gather the after crop {aftermath}: the second harvest] of the water [this latter rain] with his tongue [speaking as received], as a dog laps [as Caleb believed God and saw as He sees], him shall you set by himself; likewise every one that bows down upon his knees to drink [who cannot stand because they are weak without understanding].
6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth [who with strength stand, without fear, alert with understanding this word of God and ready to Obey His commands in the battle], were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian [stife – who were cause endless agitation of God’s people] was beneath him in the valley.
9 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get you down unto the host; for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 But if you fear to go down, go you with Phurah [from pu’rah, the “branch” as green shoot of new life, from pa’ar, meaning to gleam, elaborate, explain to make clear] your servant down to the host:
11 And you shall hear what they say; and afterward [‘achar – in this latter time] shall your hands be strengthened to go down [from this mountain of the LORD’s testimony] unto the host [against the army of darkness]. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host.
12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers [as a devouring army swallowing all new life, leaving the branch barren] for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake [tsluwl, only used here, from the once used word tsalal, which only appears in Exodus 15:10, saying of the Egyptians who pursued God’s people into the rightly divided waters, “You did blow with your wind {your Almighty Spirit moving upon the face of the deep}, the sea {Your people came together and} covered them: they sank {tsalal} as lead in the mighty waters.] of barley [s’orah – from sa’ar, meaning storm, the fear that eventually made {makes} the enemy flee] bread [lechem – this manna, the word from the mouth of God by which men live, of which they are ignorant of what it is] tumbled into [haphak – changed] the host of Midian [the army of agitators], and came unto a tent [‘ohel – its covering was removed, as in the apocalypse], and smote it that it fell [naphal], and overturned [haphak] it, that the tent [‘ohel] lay along [naphal].
14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon [the LORD’s man of war] the son of Joash [given by Jehovah], a man of Israel: for into his hand has God delivered Midian [the agitators], and all the host [and their army of darkness].
15 And it was so, when Gideon heard [shama’ – OBEYED] the telling of the dream, and the [this] interpretation thereof, that he worshipped [shachah – subordinated his will to the will of God], and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD has delivered into your hand the host of Midian.

Isaiah 10
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption [killayown – the consummation, only appearing elsewhere in Deuteronomy 28:65, where it is “the failing” eyes that come with following devils who put themselves in God’s place] decreed [charats] shall overflow with righteousness. [This speaks of the days of desolation, when the eyes of all those in power, as now, have made the feckless and fearful. It is, now, when there is no hope in these men or the institutions they’ve controlled and corrupted. The “overflowing with righteousness” is the anointing mentioned below in verse 27, when the yoke of these men and their institutions are broken, because they are heavy and worthless burdens.]
23 For the LORD {“Adonay – the King of kings] God of hosts [a man of war] shall make a consumption [kalah – a full end], even determined [charats], in the midst of all the land [‘erets – the earth].
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, O my people that dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian [communists in power]: he shall smite you with a rod [the vile laws they make to convict the innocent and pardon evil], and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt [as tyrants do].
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger in their destruction.
26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb [the prince of darkness]: and as his rod [the law of nature and nature’s God] was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing [the final step – see Daniel 9:24].

The following three paragraphs are from the post of 22 November 2021:

When the LORD tells of the “scourge” He will stir (against the communists) He uses the word showt, meaning a lash (whip). It’s from the word shuwt, meaning to push forward. He says it will be like “the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb.” This refers to when Gideon [warrior – hewer of the mighty], with a few hundred men, by the sword of the LORD, and the sword of Gideon, stirred confusion and panic in the camp of Midian, causing them to flee.

Gideon then called God’s people at large to join the battle, and they together chased Midian to the waters of Bethbarash (house of the ford – crossing over) and Jordan (death – the words that carried all there). The rock of Oreb (darkness, or dusky – as in those who caused light, understanding, to leave) is where the princes of Midian (Oreb and Zeeb – the wolves among the sheep) are slaughtered. Midian means strife, and describes those stirring endless arguments and agitation among God’s people.

Friends, the dictionary definition of communism is a lie. It is truly – a system based on lies, promises of a utopia that comes by giving all power to a few men who’ve appointed themselves our gods. They are (now, today) fascists, Global Socialists, the ilk of the last century (National Socialists), who rise to power as demagogues, demonizing and dehumanizing their enemies, their countrymen, who become their victims. They are those who use known lies and censor all truth because, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

The above quote is by Joseph Goebbels, the Propaganda Minister of the National Socialist Party (Nazi Party) of Germany 1933 – 1945

The fiery trial we find ourselves in is to separate the wheat from the chaff, the good leaders from the worthless. As we understand, only a very few now sitting in seats of power are the wheat.

The words used by Isaiah above to describe this time also appear in Isaiah 28.

Isaiah 28
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.
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 the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
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 – the sound doctrine, teaching, the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim [2 Samuel 5:20 – as water from His throne, breaking forth upon His enemies], he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon [Joshua 10:10 & 11 – His word reserved {frozen} in heaven, sent as great hailstones upon the wicked], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
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, as in Daniel 9:27], even determined [charats] upon the whole earth.
23 Give you ear, and hear [shama’ – obey] my voice; hearken, and hear [shama’ – obey] my speech.

Ephesians 1
4 According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one [BODY] all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which [promise] is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession [peripoiesis – obtained by the LORD who bought us], unto the praise of his glory [revealed in us].

1 Thessalonians 5
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the LORD so comes as a thief [unknows in the darkness] in the night [to obtain what is rightfully His, by purchase].
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety [as they now tell us while they war against us and put us, our lives and livelihoods, in jeopardy]; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child [having no idea that, with these evil acts, they bring forth the man child that is to rule all nations with a rod of iron]; and they shall not escape.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness [ignorance], that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 You are all the children of light [understanding], and the children of the day [the light that has come]: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain [peripoiesis] salvation by our LORD Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify [build up by educating] one another, even as also you do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor among you, and are over you in the LORD, and admonish you;
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

Hebrews 10
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest [of holies – into the LORD’s presence, before His mercy seat, above which His presence is manifested in the face-to-face conversation] by the blood [sacrificing to give His word as received, in the name: identity] of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh [He chose, called, and prepared for Himself];
21 And having a high priest [in the never-ending order of Melchisedec] 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 [as so many have] the assembling of ourselves together [episunagoge – a complete collection – His ONE BODY], 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.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions;
33 Partly, whilst you were made a gazing-stock [were publicly mocked] both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used.
34 For you had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your [worldly] goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away, therefore, your confidence, which has great recompense of reward.
36 For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith [that the LORD is present]: but if any man draw back [hupostello – “to withhold under (out of sight), i.e. (reflexively) to cower or shrink, (figuratively) to conceal (reserve),” the light given to him], my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back [hupostole – “shrinkage (timidity), i.e. (by implication) apostasy,” standing away from the LORD revealed] unto perdition [apoleia]; but of them that believe to the saving [peripoiesis] of the soul.

1 Peter 2
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 in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
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 [peripoiesis] people; that you should show forth the praises of him [His glory] who has called you out of darkness [ignorance] into his marvelous [eye opening] light [understanding];
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now [at His mercy seat, by His correction come in this conversation] have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims [who’ve now reached your destination in the LORD’s presence], abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles [who don’t know the LORD]: 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 [episkope – when He comes as the Chief Overseer {Bishop} of the Earth].

Psalms 85
1 LORD, you have been favorable unto your land [‘erets – the Earth]: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people, you have covered all their sin. Selah.
3 You have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease.
5 Will you be angry with us forever? will you draw out your anger to all generations?
6 Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
8 I will hear [shama’ – obey] what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory [kabowd] may dwell in our land [‘erets – the earth].
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth shall spring out of the Earth [‘erets]; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land [‘erets – the Earth] shall yield her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
