I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: you that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence:

8 – 9 August 2023

The words “I have set watchmen” are from the Hebrew words paqad shamar. In the original text, the sentence reads: On your wall (‘al chowmah – As your protection), O Jerusalem (My people), I have set watchmen (shamar paqad – are those who’ve kept My word, manifesting My presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth) all the day and all the night (kol yowm kol layil – as full understand, light into the darkness, against the total ignorance now covering the earth) which shall never (tamiyd – who will perpetually) not keep silence (‘al chashah), you that make mention of (hamah-zakar – they shall war loudly who remember) the LORD (Jehovah).

The verse, Isaiah 62:6, refers back to verse 1, where we’re told it’s the LORD speaking through those who’ve inseparably joined themselves to Him.

Isaiah 62
1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace [chashah], and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness [understanding they send in their words to all], and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burns [showing the way in the darkness].
2 And the Gentiles [those who don’t know the LORD] shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you shall be [a new nation] called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name [Heavenly New Jerusalem].
3 You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land [‘erets – earth] any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah [chephets – “My delight is in her”], and your land [‘erets – earth] Beulah [ba’al]: for the LORD delights [chephets] in you, and your land [‘erets – earth] shall be married [ba’al – joined with the LORD in His kingdom on the earth].
5 For as a young man marries [ba’al] a virgin, so shall your sons marry [ba’al] you: and as the bridegroom rejoice over the bride, so shall your God rejoice [suws] over you.
6 I have set [paqad] watchmen [shamar] upon your walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace [chashah] day nor night: you that make mention of [remember] the LORD, keep not silence,
7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make [Heavenly New] Jerusalem a praise in the earth [‘erets].
8 The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give your corn to be meat for [will not give what you’ve worked for, to] your enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink your wine, for the which you have labored:
9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10 Go through, go through the gates [leaving hell behind]; prepare you the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones [upon which the people have stumbled and fallen]; lift up a standard [nec – the son of man lifted up as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, so the LORD’s voice is exalted above all others, and He will save all who look to Him for deliverance] for the people.
11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed [shama’ – called for obedience to His voice] unto the end of the world [‘erets], Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him [paniym – to those who see His presence manifested in his work].
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

One of the keys in the above chapter is in the word suwm and several of its strategic appearances.

Deuteronomy 28
58 If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you mayest fear this glorious and fearful name [the identity of], The LORD Your God [Jehovah ‘elohiym – God’s presence manifested in the present tense: in His word, I Am, as in me];
59 Then the LORD will make your plagues wonderful [you, as now, will wonder why they came, not understanding, not seeing, the evil is a product of the neglect and abandonment of those leading you in church and state], and the plagues of your seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance [degenerating into the now mass insanity that rules the world].
60 Moreover he will bring [these last four words are rendered from shuwb, meaning return – to the place from where he previously rescued us] upon you all the diseases of Egypt [oppression under tyrants], which you were afraid of; and they shall cleave [snare and be yoked] unto you.
61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring [‘alah – let rise] upon [against] you, until you be destroyed.
62 And you shall be left few in number [as we are this day], whereas you were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because you would not obey [shama’] the voice [qowl] of the LORD your God [Jehovah ‘elohiym].
63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced [suwm] over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice [suwm] over you to destroy you [this corrupt nation, all her totally corrupt and vermin-infested institutions], and to bring you to naught; and you shall be plucked [nacach – only used three other times, here referring us to Proverbs 15:25] from off the land [here untranslated from the original text is the word matsalah, following the word ‘adamah, meaning the depths of God’s people, the family of Adam, in the belly of hell] whither you go to possess it. [Proverbs 15:23 A man has joy {manifesting the presence of God by giving His good counsel} by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season {knowing the time}, how good is it! 24 The way of life is above {comes from heaven} to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. 25 The LORD will destroy {nacach} the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow {the new nation of those who were without a defender and protector}. 26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words {pleasing to the LORD, and those speaking them will see Him}. 27 He that is greedy of gain troubles {afflicts} his own house {as the current evil administration has this nation}; but he that hates gifts {bribes, for which they have sold their souls and betrayed their nation} shall live. 28 The heart of the righteous studies to answer {opening their mouth in due season to speak the LORD’s good tidings}: but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.]
64 And the LORD shall scatter you among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there you shall serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known, even [dead] wood and stone.
65 And among these nations shall you find no ease, neither shall the sole of your foot have rest: but the LORD shall give you there a trembling heart, and failing [killayown – the “consumption” decreed] of eyes [not knowing the time or season], and sorrow of mind:
66 And your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall fear day and night, and shall have none assurance of your life:
67 In the morning [when this understanding comes] you shall say, Would God it were even [choosing to remain in ignorance and death]! and at even [when you realized your ignorance] you shall say, Would God it were morning [still not hearing His voice or seeing His presence]! for the fear of your heart wherewith you shall fear, and for the sight of your eyes which you shall see. [This last phrase refers back to verse 34, speaking of after God’s people have been oppressed and in all ways crushed {ratsats}, saying “So that you shall be mad {shaga’ – insane} for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.”]
68 And the LORD shall bring you into Egypt [into oppression under tyrants] again with ships [by the wicked infesting all the national institutions of church and state], by the way whereof I spoke unto you, You shall see it no more again [not understanding it, because you reject the good counsel of the LORD and instead choose evil]: and there you shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy [redeem] you.

Zephaniah 3 [Jehovah’s treasures revealed]
1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted [remaining defiled by their corrupt words and ways], to the oppressing city!
2 She obeyed [shama’] not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
3 Her princes [those thinking the crown will be theirs] within her are roaring lions [speaking their own words]; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
4 Her prophets are light [of no value] and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted [with their own words and ways] the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
5 The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning does he bring his judgment to light [giving understanding], he fails not; but the unjust knows no shame.
6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passes by [‘abar – from this death into life]: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
7 I said, Surely you will fear me, you will receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished [paqad – come as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to] them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
8 Therefore wait you upon me, says the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them my indignation [za’am], even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language [the words from My mouth, by which man lives], that they may all call upon the name [identity] of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia [leaving the words of darkness: ignorant men] my suppliants [‘athar – who have called to Me], even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring my offering.
11 In that day shall you not be ashamed for all your doings, wherein you have transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of you them that rejoice in your pride [in the snare of evil they taught you], and you shall no more be haughty because of my holy mountain [My voice exalted above all others].
12 I will also leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor [powerless] people [the meek of the earth], and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed [on My flesh] and lie down [to rest in My peace], and none shall make them afraid.
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of [Heavenly New] Jerusalem.
15 The LORD has taken away your judgments, he has cast out your enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of you: you shall not see evil anymore.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear you not: and to Zion, Let not your hands be slack [do the work to which the LORD has called you].
17 The LORD your God in the midst of you is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice [suws] over you with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over you with singing [repeating these words the LORD has given us].
18 I will gather them that are sorrowful [that show remorse for not eating here earlier] for the solemn assembly, who are of you, to whom the reproach of it was a burden [keeping you from coming and eating].
19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict you: and I will save her that halted [was lame and strayed from My good way], and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you [into My ONE BODY]: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, says the LORD.

The word ‘athar, above in verse 10 rendered “suppliants” (humbly imploring: entreating), only appears one other time, in Ezekiel 8:11, a chapter in which the LORD is showing Ezekiel, the son of man, the abominations that are the prelude to evil (the antichrists’) taking full control of the earth (as they have). It’s from this evil destination the LORD, as in verse 20 above, turns us back.

Ezekiel 8
1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month [the prelude to 666], as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the LORD God fell there upon me [and enflamed my mind against their corruption which they refuse to abandon].
2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of amber.
3 And he put forth the form of a hand [as if writing into my mind], and took me by a lock [tsiytsith – only appears tree other times, in Numbers 15, all speaking of the “fringe” of the garment the LORD commanded to be made, of which verses 39 & 40 lastly say, “39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe {tsiytsith}, that you may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them ; and that you seek not after your own heart {mind} and your own eyes {understanding}, after which you use to go a whoring: 40 That you may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.”] of my head [mind]; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions [seeing as He sees: understanding as He understand] of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that look toward the north [into the darkness, ignorance, that causes these abominations]; where was the seat of the image [men who create thing that lead people’s minds away from God] of jealousy, which provokes [the LORD] to jealousy.
4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain [sight, seeing it as He sees].
5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north [that leads men into darkness]. So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, see you [as I see] what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, that I should go far off [rachaq – their evil decrees] from [matsa’ – come forth from] my sanctuary? but turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations.
7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall [of lies they built blocking the entry way].
8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall [diligent work to penetrate their lies and enter]: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door [I found the way in].
9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things [vermin], and abominable beasts [unclean and uneatable], and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed [chaqah – delineated and entrenched] upon the wall [in their lies upon lies, corruption upon corruption] round about.
11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients [those leading and teaching all God’s people] of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah [those whose words Jehovah has heard] the son of Shaphan [who think He doesn’t see or hear them], with every man his censer [miqtereth – only appearing elsewhere in 2 Chronicles 26:19, where it’s Uzziah’s illegal offering that caused leprosy to come up in his head, which caused him to leave the throne] in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up [their prayers to God, ignorantly asking for deliverance, when it is from them the LORD must deliver all who call on Him out of pure, uncorrupted, mind].
12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, have you seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark [out of ignorance of Me], every man in the chambers of his imagery [their own creations]? for they say [denying His presence], the LORD sees us not; the LORD has forsaken the earth.
13 He said also unto me, Turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations that they do.
14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz [only appearing here – in the original text it is written as – ‘eth Yah tammuz {from tamahh, meaning “to be in consternation:–be amazed, be astonished, marvel(-lously), wonder.”}; and ‘eth meaning “nearness (used only as a preposition or an adverb), near; hence, generally, with, by, at, among, etc.” The context is in relation to those denying His presence, ignorantly weeping thinking He is absent. It’s the ideas spoken of in 2 Peter 3:9, of some thinking the LORD is slack concerning His promises, meaning they wonder why he hasn’t come, not knowing He is among them, in obscurity, making Himself of no reputation, “longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”].
15 Then said he unto me, Have you seen this, O son of man? turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations than these.
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east [looking for the sunrise, not knowing He is behind them in His temple {in His people}]; and they worshipped the sun [the false church] toward the east [where they are looking for Him].
17 Then he said unto me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing [of little value, they think it means nothing that they have done this] to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land [‘erets – the earth] with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

The phrase in verse 17 above, which is the cause of the last verse, saying, “they put the branch to their nose,” is not original. The original text was changed by the Sopherim, who ignorantly thought it was derogatory toward God because it said, “they put the branch to His nose.”

The meaning of the saying, as Ezekiel meant it, the LORD in Him tactically reserving it to be revealed in His time, is found in what they put in the LORD’s nose (meaning what isn’t seen or heard (realized or stated), but is otherwise sensed present). The word here rendered “branch” is the five-times used Hebrew word zmowrah (zemorah), the meaning of which is found in its other uses more than in its definition.

Numbers 13
23 And they [those sent to spy out the Promised Land] came unto the brook of Eshcol [the cluster, the fruit by these waters, cut off from the vine, and therefore no longer seeing as He see], and cut down [karath – thereby cutting themselves off from the LORD promises] from thence a branch [zmowrah] with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
26 And they went and came to Moses [who is drawn from the corrupt water below], and to Aaron [the light giver], and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran [where everything is plainly seen by explanation], to Kadesh [which is our sanctuary]; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey [by which man will there learn to choose the good and refuse the evil]; and this is the fruit of it [that grew when it was attached to the vine].
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak [giants] there.
29 The Amalekites [who’ve warred against God’s people in every generation] dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites [terrorists who use fear to control those who dwell with them], and the Jebusites [who trample the harvest under their feet], and the Amorites [who exalt their words above the word of God], dwell in the mountains [controlling all the seats of power]: and the Canaanites [who are zealots who control commerce] dwell by the sea [mixed among the people at large], and by the coast [yad, hand doing the work] of Jordan [whose words carry all into death].
30 And Caleb [dog, like Gideon’s three hundred, valiant men who refused bow to their enemies, seeing as the LORD sees] stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we [the fearful who should just get out of the way and let the men be men].
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eats up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak [giants – the prominent and powerful], which come of the giants: and we were [seen] in our own sight as grasshoppers [doing no work, fighting no fight, only devouring until nothing is left], and so we were in their sight.

Isaiah 17
4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean [as he consumes himself].
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathers the corn, and reaps the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathers ears in the valley of Rephaim [into the place where all are at rest and not working].
6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, says the LORD God of Israel.
7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8 And he shall not look to the altars [men have created], the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not been mindful of the rock of your strength, therefore shall you plant pleasant plants [that speak corrupt words you agree with], and shall set it with strange slips [zmowrah]:
11 In the day shall you make your plant to grow, and in the morning shall you make your seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise [incoherent words] like the noise of the seas [as waves crashing against the shore, the boundary the LORD set and said they shall continue not further]; and to the rushing of nations [lom – people], that make a rushing [desolation] like the rushing [to destroy] of mighty waters [the words of the powerful]!
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff [mixed among the wheat] of the mountains [the worthless in power] before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind [His Almighty Spirit].
14 And behold at eveningtide [the time of] trouble; and before the morning [before the new day is realized] he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.

The word above used to tell of these men cut off from the vine, as “strange” zmowrah (slips), is zuwr, a seventy-seven times used word meaning, “to turn aside (especially for lodging); hence to be a foreigner, strange, profane; specifically (active participle) to commit adultery.”

Leviticus 10
1 And Nadab [liberally giving his own words] and Abihu [acting as if he is the father of God: putting himself in His place], the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange [zuwr] fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before [paniym – the manifested presence of] the LORD.
3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spoke, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace [damam – was astonished].

It is these strange men’s offerings, unseen and unheard, that are unknown to the ignorant, but their presence is known by the smell in the LORD’s nose. They are those who think they are holier than the LORD and tell Him to stay away from them.

Isaiah 65
1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold [see] me, behold [see] me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people [who are called by My name, Christian and Israel], which walk [went astray into apostacy] in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoke me to anger continually to my face [paniym – My presence]; that sacrifices in gardens [they planted with strange slips], and burns incense upon altars of brick [the works of their hands, creations of men you made idols and gods you put in My place];
4 Which remain among the graves [with the dead], and lodge in the monuments [tombs you’ve made to house the dead], which eat swine’s flesh [unclean things you shouldn’t have consumed], and broth of abominable things [creations with which you replaced the holy] is in their vessels;
5 Which say [to Me, when I said “Behold Me”], “Stand by yourself, come not near to me; for I am holier than you.” These [self-righteous hypocrites] are a smoke in my nose [to be fanned away by My hand], a [strange] fire [from strange slips] that burns all the day.
6 Behold [see], it is written before me [this writing is My presence manifested]: I will not keep silence [chashah], but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, says the LORD, which have [with strange fire] burned incense upon the mountains [worshipping this current corrupt administration, for mere morsels selling your souls into hell], and [you joined these devils and] blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work [their deceptions and wickedness] into their bosom.
8 Thus says the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster [as are my elect remnant who have become fruitful by these waters], and one says, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains [My new government]: and my elect [remnant] shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10 And Sharon [those who plainly see Me] shall be a fold of flocks [My ONE BODY, My New Nation], and the valley of Achor [where they were in constant strife and war] a place for the herds to lie down in [rest in peace], for my people that have [diligently] sought me. [Hebrews 11: 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.]
11 But you [that worship this current corrupt administration, and join them in blaspheming Me: calling good evil as you vilify and demonize Me and those who speak My good words of truth] are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop [that are at war against us], and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and you shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, you did not answer; when I spake, you did not hear; but did evil before my eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
13 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry: behold, my servants [who obey Me] shall drink, but you shall be thirsty: behold, my servants [who obey Me] shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed:
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
15 And you shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the LORD God shall slay you, and call his servants by another name:
16 That he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles [tsarah – tribulations] are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes [removed by My understanding and peace].
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 But be you glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: for, behold, I create [Heavenly New] Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

From here, the LORD leads us to Number 21, which first speaks of when the LORD commanded Moses to lift up the fiery serpent in the wilderness, and then proceeds to cryptically speak a parable regarding Heshbon. This name (Cheshbown) is from a three-times used word of the same spelling, with affinity to chashah (to keep quiet), (cheshbown) meaning “from 2803; properly, contrivance; by implication, intelligence:–account, device, reason.”

Ecclesiastes 7
23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise [of myself]; but it was far [rachowq – an evil decree] from me.
24 That which is far off [rachowq – an evil decree], and exceeding deep, who can find it out?
25 I applied my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason [cheshbown – to have intelligence {advanced knowledge} of the contrivance] of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
26 And I find more bitter than death the woman [unfaith church], whose heart [corrupt foundational mind] is snares and nets, and her hands as bands [that trap and hold men in hell]: whoso pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
27 Behold, this have I found, says the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account [cheshbown – advance knowledge of the contrivances of an unfaithful church]:
28 Which yet my soul seeks, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman [faithful church] among all those have I not found.
29 Lo, this only have I found, that God has made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions [chishshabown – mental contrivances: “engines” of war, only here and 2 Chronicles 26:15].

2 Chronicles 26
8 And the Ammonites [who exalt their words above the LORD’s] gave gifts to Uzziah [whose only strength comes from Jehovah]: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.
9 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
10 Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.
11 Moreover Uzziah had a host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains.
12 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.
13 And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
15 And he made in Jerusalem engines [chishshabown], invented [machashabah] by cunning men [chashab – #2803, meaning to plot or fabricate; and the origin of cheshbown], to be [as weapons of war] on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong.
16 But when he was strong, his heart [his mind] was lifted up [exalting his thoughts above the LORD’s] to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 And Azariah [who Jehovah has helped] the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:
18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertains not unto you, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for you have trespassed; neither shall it be for your honor from the LORD God.
19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer [miqtereth – as in Ezekiel 8:11 above] in his hand to burn incense [offering strange fire]: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead [thoughts that rot and destroy the body] before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.

Ecclesiastes 9
10 Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device [cheshbown – advanced knowledge of contrivances], nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave [sheol – the habitation of the dead], whither you go.
11 I returned, and saw under the sun [when I understood], that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance [what they think is coincidence] happens to them all.
12 For man also knows not his time [of the LORD’s judgment]: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly [pith’owm] upon them.
13 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun [when I understood], and it seemed great unto me:
14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it [lies and deceptions as engines of war]:
15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered [zakar] that same poor man [who had no worldly power].
16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard [shama’ – obeyed].
17 The words of wise men are heard [shama’] in quiet [among those who are still silent] more than the cry of him that rules among fools.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner [who leads the foolish astray] destroys much good.

Psalms 76
1 In Judah [among His elect remnant] is God known: his name is great in Israel.
2 In Salem [peace] also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There brakes he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?
8 You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.
11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
