4 – 5 July 2023
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?
The above (Jeremiah 8:9) describes the “experts” of our time who reject reality (observed truth) and instead create an alternative to substantiate a planned conclusion. Their shame is the disappointment when their purported objective isn’t achieved, and they are proven liars.
In our time, these (falsely so-called) wise men are those who’ve intentionally created biblical Babylon, confusion as policy, by which they empower tyrants to win and hold power over the world’s population. As we all well know, this is demoralization done through a (gaslighting) conspiracy between mass (social and news) media, crony corporate giants, the vermin-riddled institutions of church and state government, and other (foreign and domestic) enemies of an authentic Christian culture.
Here is the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of gaslighting:
1: to psychologically manipulate (a person) usually over an extended period of time so that the victim questions the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and experiences confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, and doubts concerning their own emotional or mental stability: to subject (someone) to gaslighting
2: to grossly mislead or deceive (someone), especially for one’s own advantage
And the definition of demoralization:
1: to cause to turn aside or away from what is good or true or morally right: to corrupt the morals of
2 a: to weaken the morale of: discourage, dispirit
b: to upset or destroy the normal functioning of
c: to throw into disorder
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 [to reality and words of truth].
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 rushes into the battle [carrying those riding them].
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 [at His coming].
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 [chathath – broken by their own confusion and fear] 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 follow them] 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 [and the enemies are using psychological warfare against us all, trying to gaslight us all into demoralization].
12 Were they ashamed [even when exposed they keep telling the same lies] when they had committed abomination [putting corruption in the place of the true]? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore, [choosing death] 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, a man of war, making war with His good advice: showing the love of His truth and reality] 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 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!
Friends, in the previous post, we discussed our God-given rights as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. There it specifically names three, saying they are among others not mentioned, one of which is the right to truth (also found in two of God’s Commandments).
Exodus 20
7 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
The word twice rendered “vain,” above in Exodus 20:7, is shav’, meaning “from the same as 7722 in the sense of desolating; evil (as destructive), literally (ruin) or morally (especially guile); figuratively idolatry (as false, subjective), uselessness (as deceptive, objective; also adverbially, in vain):–false(-ly), lie, lying, vain, vanity.”
Man is entitled to the truth because without it, when that which is not the truth, the lie, is substituted, the data put into the mental equation is corrupted and the solution (the decision forward) is also.
The “health” mentioned is Jeremiah 8:15 above, which man looks for, is from the sixteen times used word marpe’, meaning “properly, curative, i.e. literally (concretely) a medicine, or (abstractly) a cure; figuratively (concretely) deliverance, or (abstractly) placidity:–((in-))cure(-able), healing(-lth), remedy, sound, wholesome, yielding.”
Truth is the cure.
Proverbs 15
2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome [marpe’] tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despises his father’s instruction: but he that regards reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish does not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loves him that follows after righteousness.
10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsakes the [good] way [into life]: and he that hates reproof shall die.
11 Hell [Sheol – the place where the dead are housed] and destruction are before the LORD [who knows their ways]: how much more then [does He know] the hearts [foundational mind] of the children of men?
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproves him: neither will he go unto the wise.
The word “destruction,” in verse 11, is the five times used Hebrew word ‘abaddown, which is the name of the king of the bottomless pit: the endless fall away from God that, once it begins, never stops until the destruction of the one falling. This destruction is like a scorpion’s strike, rotting the flesh from the inside, destroying truth and thereby right-reasoning. All these aspects are in Revelation 9, where Abaddon and the army of scorpions he, as their king, commands are mentioned.
Job 26
1 How have you helped him [the poor] that is without power? how saved you the arm that has no strength?
3 How have you counseled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing [reality] 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, and the inhabitants thereof [the ways of death are created below the surface of men’s word, and make their habitation there].
6 Hell [Sheol – the habitation of the dead] is naked before him [the LORD], and destruction [‘abaddown – the ways they rot men’s minds] has no covering.
7 He stretches out the north [darkness and ignorance] over the empty place [that is without truth], and hangs [suspends] the earth [that has become without form and void] upon nothing.
8 He binds up the waters [the separated elements of understanding] in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent [torn open] under them.
9 He holds back the face [paniym – the presence] of his throne, and spread [this exposition from] his cloud upon it.
10 He has compassed the waters with bounds [choq – this decreed end, declaring when He will send it], until the day and night [the time when understanding has become ignorance] come to an end.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble [that from it corrupted understanding will be shaken] and are astonished [the ignorant who should have understanding, wonder] at his reproof.
12 He divides the sea [separates humanity from those misleading them] with his power, and by his understanding he smites through the proud.
13 By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked [bariyach – only elsewhere in Isaiah 27:1 & 43:14] serpent [leviathan, who will become my instrument].
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder [the voice of the light from the cloud] of his power who can understand?
Isaiah 27
1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish [paqad – visit as the Chief Overseer, with correction] leviathan the piercing [bariyach] serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon [those who as serpents and whales have devoured and swallowed into hell] that is in the sea [all humanity].
2 In that day sing [repeat these words] you unto her [to all humanity], A vineyard of red wine.
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water [with these living waters] it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers [deceivers] and thorns [misleaders] against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5 Or let him take hold of my strength [My understanding I freely give], that he may make peace with me; and he [leviathan – the priesthood] shall make peace with me.
6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
Isaiah 43
5 Fear not: for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west;
6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends [the end of the old and the beginning of the new] of the earth;
7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
8 Bring forth the blind people that [now] have eyes, and the deaf that [now] have ears.
9 Let all the nations [all who haven’t known Me] be gathered together [into My ONE BODY], and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
10 You are my witnesses, says the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no savior.
12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shown, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses, says the LORD, that I am God.
13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let [stop] it?
14 Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon [the confusion that rules the world], and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans [who use their words to manipulate and control people], whose cry is in the ships [infesting all the institutions].
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16 Thus says the LORD, which makes a way in the sea [for humanity to Passover death], and a path in the [His] mighty waters;
17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18 Remember you not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 The beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.
22 But you have not called upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel.
Job 28
20 Whence then comes wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22 Destruction [‘abaddown] and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23 God understands the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
24 For he looks to the ends [old and new] of the earth, and see under the whole heaven;
25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weighs the waters by measure.
26 When he made a decree [choq – a decreed time appointed] for the rain [His word from heaven], and a way for the lightning [understanding from the cloud] of the thunder [the voice of the light]:
27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it [for Himself], yea, and [He alone] searched it out.
28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
John 17
1 These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you:
2 As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
4 I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was.
6 I have manifested your name unto the men which you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them me; and they have kept your word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever you have given me are of you.
8 For I have given unto them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you did send me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which you have given me; for they are yours.
10 And all mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name [your identity revealed]: those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost [apollumi – meaning destroyed; and the Greek name, Apollyon, given to the king of the bottomless pit], but the son of perdition [Rueben, meaning the son seen, whom we’re told in Genesis 49:4, will not “excel,” from the word yathar, meaning he will not continue {yacaph} or remain, because he put himself in his father’s place]; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy [knowing Your presence in them] fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that you would take them out of the world, but that you would keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify [purify] them through your truth: YOUR WORD IS TRUTH.
18 As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one [BODY] in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one [BODY], even as we are one:
23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them your name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Isaiah tells us those who remain (yathar) are the elect remnant and those that eat this word (butter and honey). They all, by receiving this word, learn to choose the good and refuse the evil.
Isaiah 1
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left [yathar] as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left [yathar] unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
Isaiah 4
1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach.
2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remains [yathar] in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4 When the LORD shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defense.
6 And there shall be a tabernacle [in the LORD] for a shadow in the day time [when understanding comes] from the heat [and they shall not melt away], and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
Isaiah 7
13 And he said, Hear you now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also?
14 Therefore the LORD himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel [God with 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 [neglected and abandoned] of both her kings.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a [one] man shall nourish [chayah – shall be given life by] a young cow, and two sheep [the LORD’s word, through His flock, sent forth by the living creatures sacrificing, then and now, to do His work – Ezekiel’s wheel within a wheel seen from Isaiah’s view];
22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk [foundational principles] that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey [so they know to refuse evil and choose good] shall every one eat that is left [yathar] in the land [‘erets – the earth].
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings [abundance], it shall even be [overgrown due to the forsaking of the kings] for briers [deceivers] and thorns [misleaders].
24 With arrows [Ephraim – the LORD’s quiver filled with His corrected children] and with bows [Judah – God’s elect remnant] shall men come thither [against them]; because all the land [‘erets – the earth] shall become [rule by] briers [deceivers] and thorns [misleader].
Here is the full Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definition of yathar: “to jut over or exceed; by implication, to excel; (intransitively) to remain or be left; causatively, to leave, cause to abound, preserve:–excel, leave (a remnant), left behind, too much, make plenteous, preserve, (be, let) remain(-der, -ing, – nant), reserve, residue, rest.”
Again, it is referring to Joseph (Ephraim), as described by Jacob when he, in Genesis 49, tells his children what shall befall them in these last days (‘achariyth). The passage speaks of Joseph (continuing and remaining) in the context of his name, as a fruitful bough, whose branches run over (jut over) the wall of lies built by the deceivers and misleaders now in power over the world.
Galatians 4
16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17 They [the deceivers and misleaders] zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would [now] exclude you, that you might affect them [with the understanding and life you’ve now received].
18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, you barren that bears not; break forth and cry, you that travail not: for the desolate has many more children than she which has a husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what says the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Micah 5
1 Now gather yourself in troops [gadad], O daughter of troops [gduwd]: he has laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, though you be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travails has brought forth [the man child]: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends [the end of the old and the beginning of the new] of the earth.
5 And this man [Shiloh] shall be the peace, when the Assyrian [the communists] shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces [as they now do], then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
Genesis 49
10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet [speaking of the Davidic king line], until Shiloh come [meaning peace and tranquility – the one {Joseph’s seed – the one separated} from who it will again flow – see Ezekiel 21:27 and the overturning]; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine [this speaking of the lowly {Zechariah 9:9}, God’s elect remnant, outside the established sects, bound until Shiloh comes, when they are loosed]; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well [a tree of life by these waters of God]; whose branches run over the wall [the wall of lies men have created and teach]:
23 The archers [ba’al – the gods of this world whose teaching has blinded all from seeing the Father, in the son, the seed of the women who brings forth the man child – see Revelation 12:17] have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands [this work] of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of your father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies under [the deep meaning that lies below the surface], blessings of the breasts, and of the womb [seed, the son]:
26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors [all those who have come before us, and were only blessed with part of what is perfected in our return to the LORD] unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
The “ruler” mentioned above in Micah 5:2, the “governor” of Matthew 2:6 where the verse is quoted, is the Hebrew word mashal, meaning “to rule:–(have, make to have) dominion, governor, X indeed, reign, (bear, cause to, have) rule(-ing, -r), have power.” It (mashal) appears once in Zechariah, in Zechariah 6:13, rendered “rule” in telling of when Joshua (Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh) the son of Josedech (Jehovah’s righteousness) is crowned.
Zechariah 6
8 Then cried he upon me, and spoke unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
10 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai [worldly], of Tobijah [to whom Jehovah is good {not a misleader}], and of Jedaiah [who Jehovah has known], which are come from Babylon [out of confusion], and come you the same day, and go into the house of Josiah [who Jehovah heals] the son of Zephaniah [by Jehovah’s hidden treasures {this word}];
11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua [Jehovah’s Salvation personified] the son of Josedech [who is Jehovah’s righteousness], the high priest;
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule [mashal] upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both [the one who is both king and priest].
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem [strength], and to Tobijah [to whom Jehovah is good {not a misleader}], and to Jedaiah [who Jehovah has known], and to Hen [favor and grace] the son of Zephaniah [by Jehovah’s hidden treasures {this word that was carried away into Shinar}], for a memorial [zikrown, meaning “a memento (or memorable thing, day or writing)” – the things of the storehouse remembered and “restored”] in the temple of the LORD.
15 And they that are far off [rachowq – in this time of the evil decree] shall come [to their right mind] and build in the temple of the LORD, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
The word zikrown refers us to what is written in Malachi 3:16, where it is rendered “remembrance.”
Malachi 3
8 Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse: for you have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10 Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse [these treasure into the churches called by My name, unto those sleeping in ignorance caused by my spirit there quieted, after the treasure, these words were carried away into Shinar, the place of the sleep], that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, says the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a delightsome land, says the LORD of hosts.
13 Your words have been stout against me, says the LORD. Yet you say, What have we spoken so much against you?
14 You have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work [‘asah] wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance [zikrown – reminding of the things forgotten] was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up [‘asah – do My work upon] my jewels [My people who are My crown – as opposed to the piercing, the crown of thorns placed there by the misleaders – Zechariah 9:16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign {a sign in heaven, upon the one they pierced} upon his land.]; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.
18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.
In Revelation 12:15, as above, the LORD speaks of my coming, as the man child born and caught up to the throne where I now sit. You are those then spoken of as the woman nourished (with butter and honey) in the wilderness, which brought the understanding you’ve received, and by it learned to refuse evil and choose good: the strength to bring forth the same child: the mind of Christ now formed in you. This is the rising of the ONE BODY of Christ.
The LORD has given us revelation, revealing these mysteries in His great treasures. Christ-like charity (agape – love) freely gives as He has given, as tithes into His sleeping churches. Giving just one-tenth of what He has given opens (has opened) the windows in heaven.
Isaiah 8
13 Sanctify 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; 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, seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides his face [presence] 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 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 [the voices of the known dead, speaking the ways of death], and unto wizards [the “experts” of this corrupt world] that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? [Should they be looking] for the living to the dead?
20 [Or should they be looking] To the law and to the testimony [these treasures?]: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light [understanding] in them.
Job 35
1 Elihu [God unknown] spoke moreover, and said,
2 Think you this to be right, that you said, My righteousness is more than God’s?
3 For you said, What advantage will it be unto you? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin [your wrong ways you claim are correct while rejecting the LORD’s correction]?
4 I will answer you, and your companions with you.
5 Look unto the heavens, and see [understand]; and behold the clouds [where the LORD has reserved these treasures for Himself] which are higher than you.
6 If you sin, what do you against him? or if your transgressions be multiplied, what do you unto him?
7 If you be righteous, what give you him? or what receives he of your hand?
8 Your wickedness may [does] hurt a man as you are; and your righteousness [if you were corrected and receive My Righteousness] may profit the son[s] of man.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm [the work of oppression] of the mighty.
10 But none says, “Where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night;
11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven?”
12 There they [the oppressed] cry, but none gives answer [speaking these words and declaring the LORD is present], because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God will not hear [shama’ – obey the requests] vanity [shav’ – of those who speak their own incorrect words in His name – if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light or life in them], neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Although you [right now] say you shall not see him, yet judgment is before him [manifesting His presence, which you deny]; therefore, trust you in him.
15 But now, because it is not so [because of your unbelief], he has visited [paqad – come as the Chief Overseer of the earth] in his anger; yet he knows it not in great extremity:
16 Therefore does Job [continue to] open his mouth in vain [with worthless words]; he multiplies words without knowledge.
2 Peter 1
11 For so an entrance [eisodos – into the kingdom of God] shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and be established in the present truth.
13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our LORD Jesus Christ has shown me.
15 Moreover I will endeavor that you may be able after my decease [exodos – after leaving the old body {come to remembrance and out of the old body, which shall not remain}] to have these things always in remembrance.
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased [HEAR Him].
18 And this voice which came from heaven [when we received full understanding] we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star [phosphoros] arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost [the LORD in them, unknown to the world and working all things toward this moment of awakening by His righteous interpretation].
2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily [secretly, from their own imaginations, create lies] shall bring in damnable [apoleia – that cause them and those who follow their ways to perish] heresies, even denying the LORD that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction [apoleia – perdition].
2 And many shall follow their pernicious [aploeia – the ways that lead to their own destruction] ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of [as it is this day].
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned [fraudulent] words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation [apoleia – perishing, perdition] slumbers not [because they are awakened “to shame and everlasting contempt”].
2 Peter 3
3 Knowing this first, that there shall [have] come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God [this same word of God] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men] shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].
Psalms 88
1 O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you:
2 Let my prayer come before you: incline your ear unto my cry;
3 For my [immortal] soul is full of troubles [saba’ ra’ – has had enough of this evil]: and my life draws nigh unto the grave [Sheol – I Am alive among the dead here in hell].
4 I Am counted with them that go down into the pit [as if held in the prison of men’s mire: the ignorance in which they continually wallow]: I Am [to them] as a man that has no strength [understanding]:
5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you rememberest no more: and they are cut off from your hand [Your power].
6 You have laid me in the lowest pit [the deepest part of men’s bottomless pit], in darkness [among complete ignorance], in the deeps [when men have no concept or comprehension of your ways or presence].
7 Your wrath [as planned] lies hard upon me [as I long-suffer in Your name], and you have afflicted me with all your waves [of the proud men who refuse Your correction, the foils against which Your good is revealed]. Selah.
8 You have put away my acquaintance far from me; you have made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up [by their darkness], and I cannot come forth.
9 My eye mourns by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon you, I have stretched out my hands unto you.
10 Will you show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise you? Selah.
11 Shall your lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or your faithfulness in destruction [‘abaddown]?
12 Shall your wonders be known in the dark [among the ignorant]? and your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness [of those who’ve forgotten You]?
13 But unto you have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning [in this new day come] shall my prayer [this conversation] prevent you [come into Your presence].
14 LORD, why [mah – what is it that is] cast you off my soul [causing My ONE BODY to reject me]? why hide you your face from [which hides Your presence in] me?
15 I Am afflicted and ready to die [for Your righteous cause] from my youth up: while I [long] suffer your terrors [to teach men the fear of God] I Am distracted [puwn – turned way by those perplexed by Your word].
16 Your fierce wrath [this word sent against those who refuse it] goes [‘abar] over me [Passes me Over the words of the dead]; your terrors [the fear of God] have cut me off [from the dead].
17 They [the dead] came round about me daily like water [the words of those ignorant of Your presence]; they compassed [attack] me about together.
18 Lover and friend have you put far [rachaq – with their evil decrees] from me, and my acquaintance into darkness [ignorance of me].
2 Samuel 23
1 Now these be the last [‘acharown – for these last days] words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel [Christ in me] spoke to me, He that rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
4 And he shall be as the light of the morning [understanding of this new day], when the sun rises, even a morning without clouds [when all understanding has returned to the earth]; as the tender grass springing out of the earth [on this third day of God’s new creation] by clear shining [giving understanding] after rain [after His word comes from heaven].
5 Although my house be not so with God; yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.
6 But the sons of Belial [who worship idols they put in God’s place] shall be all of them as thorns [misleaders] thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands [without piercing God’s work and draining life]:
7 But the man that shall touch them [working piercing works in God’s name] must be fenced with iron [the strength of this understanding] and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire [and melt away] in the same place.
Psalms 18
A Psalms of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day the LORD delivered him from all his enemies [repeating these same words, as a song, from 2 Samuel 22].
1 I will love you, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock [Christ in me], and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn [power] of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard [shama’ – He gave me the understanding for which I asked] my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him [paniym – in the conversation where His presence is manifested], even into his ears [‘ozen – where He listened attentively to see if I understood what He taught].
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the [corrupt] foundations also of the hills [that had risen from the world] moved and were shaken [so they would be removed], because he was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub [delivering His message], and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind [the LORD’s Spirit in heaven].
11 He made darkness [the ignorance of men] his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters [words not understood] and thick clouds of the skies [understanding removed from the earth].
12 At the brightness [His understand given] that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones [the word frozen, reserved, in heaven was sent] and coals of fire [came upon the heads of men, melting away the corrupt foundational elements that blinded the world].
13 The LORD also thundered [gave His voice of understanding] in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows [Ephraim – His people in these last days], and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings [His understanding], and discomfited them.
15 Then the channels of waters [carrying His word into the sea: humanity at large] were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath [His Spirit giving life] of your nostrils.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew [separated] me out of many waters [the voices of ignorance spewing mire].
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity [this day when darkness is in power]: but the LORD was my stay [Whom I trust].
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
21 For I have kept [shamar – obeyed] the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 I was also upright before him, and I [shamar – obeyed Him and] kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with an upright man you will show yourself upright;
26 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the froward you will show yourself froward.
27 For you will save the afflicted people; but will bring down high looks.
28 For you will light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by you I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall [of their lies].
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock [Christ] save our [living] God [manifested in the flesh]?
32 It is God that girds [prepares] me with strength [His understanding], and makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me upon my high places.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness [not using Your power for destruction] has made me great.
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are [enemies] fallen under my feet [and become my footstool, as the LORD promised].
39 For you have girded [prepared] me with strength [understanding and Your good advice] unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD [to their idols they call by His name], but he answered them not [because they take His name in vain].
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear [shema’ – from the obedient] of me, they shall obey [shama’] me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock [the LORD in me]; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.
48 He delivers me from my enemies: yea, you lift [Your voice in] me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto your name.
50 Great deliverance [yshuw’ah – Jesus: Joshua, son of Nun, the son in perpetuity, son of yacaph, who continues and remains] gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
