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?
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 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 [pith’own] at an instant [petha’].
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel [the old earth] 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.
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.
