They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
The above comes as the LORD speaks (Spiritually to us of now) of the wickedness and lies of His people at large, into which the same abovementioned king and princes led them, which is why they are glad.
This dilemma is spoken of throughout the chapter, Hosea 7, a Book in which the LORD describes His people as adulterers, leaving Him to follow others into wickedness and lies.
Friends, I must again define this wickedness, and these lies, as intended products of Obama’s self-justification (of his sexual perversion: his anima; and his animus: his instinctual opposition to anything good or truthful. As we understand, these goads, elevated by his study (acceptation) of wicked philosophies before his, prompted him to develop and institute the “Obama Doctrine.” We know this to be wickedness and lies: the elevation of deviance and communism, using engineered deception, lies and false accusations as policy to implement untenable proposals into law.
As often discussed here as it was occurring, we also know, when his presidential initiatives were thwarted by legislative majorities elected to counter him, he, in the following six years of his administration, embedded like-minded judges, and, more devastatingly, appointed like-minded (perverse, lawless, or communist) bureaucrats. These enemies of good government, would, did, and do, when the people had, and have, the opportunity again to elect someone to reverse the national damage his presidency did and does, would administratively oppose by tampering, undermining, and weponizing government, attack and extinguish any such attempts along with those attempting them.
These unelected bureaucrats: the “deep state:” deeply embedded agents of evil intent on implementing Obama’s vision of a Post America World; brought to completion the demoralization of her population: a means of destruction begun (long abandoned) by Soviet-era communists, and revived by Chinees communists (and other complicit powers of the world) to combat Trump and those that elected him (for the above stated reason). By these means, they (China) elected their man, through whom they went full-bore to finish their task.
Again, the definition of “demoralize” is here below given, first from Merriam-Webster Dictionary, as noun and verb, and then from Wikipedia (with the necessary context in brackets), its meaning in warfare:
Noun:
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
Verb:
1: to make bad or evil
2: to weaken in spirit or discipline
“Demoralization is, in a context of warfare, national security, and law enforcement, a process in psychological warfare with the objective to erode morale among enemy combatants and/or noncombatants. That can encourage them to retreat, surrender, or defect rather than defeating them in combat.
“Demoralization methods are military tactics such as hit-and-run attacks [every weather event is caused by climate change], such as snipers disturbing the enemy with less-lethal weapons [bio weapons, like viruses] and incapacitating agents [like the vaccines], and intimidation [J6 prosecutions] such as display of force concentration [as they openly show they control all Federal Law Enforcement]. Some methods on the strategic scale are commerce raiding [intentionally destroying the dollar and independent banking], strategic bombing [Maui, before it, East Palestine, Ohio, and all the other fires], static operations such as sieges [against Trump] and naval blockades [to prevent goods from reaching the market place], and propaganda [the most obvious, through state controlled news and social media, endlessly spewing misinformation, disinformation, known lies, and known false accusation, all attacks on truth and reality].”
It is essential to understand these are attacks meant to touch (affect) the mind, only bringing their desired end (the effect) on those who “retreat, surrender, or defect.” They have no power to affect the war’s outcome, or those who stand with sound minds against them. In our day, the people they do affect, who “retreat, surrender, or defect,” are our (mainstream and conformist) political and church leaders and those who, with them, cower. The remaining remnant of us pushes ever forward on this battlefield of reality while on the way, winning and awakening the minds and souls of those who were before demoralized and without hope.
Hosea 7
1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim [God’s people at large in this generation] was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria [their leaders who lead them to follow idols they call by My name, who they put in My place]: for they commit falsehood; and the thief comes in, and the troop of robbers spoils without.
2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before [neged – in front of] my face [paniym – My presence].
3 They make the king [Obama] glad with their wickedness, and the princes [his idiot son Brandon, and the other useful idiots with him, thinking they aren’t going to reap the whirlwind] with their lies.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who cease from raising after he has kneaded the dough, until it be leavened [they rest after sowing corruption, until all is corrupted into mass delusion].
5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick [drunken into a state of mental illness] with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners [the wicked liars and false accusers of our time].
6 For they have made ready their heart [the corrupt foundations of their minds] like an oven, whiles they lie in wait [for the new day they think will come, with them in control of the world and all therein]: their baker sleeps [those who, with their mouths, think they will bring this about] all the night [not knowing their own ignorance of reality]; in the morning [when this light of the actual new day comes and the people awaken] it burns as a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto Me [the LORD now present].
8 Ephraim, he has mixed himself among the people [the foreign invaders the enemy let in to replace us]; Ephraim is a cake not turned [and they are ignorant that they are burning up in their own fires].
9 Strangers [enemies mixed among them with ways far from God’s] have devoured his strength, and he knows it not [because they sleep in ignorance]: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him [this is his last days, his old age, and he is sleeping through it], yet he knows not.
10 And the pride [refusing correction] of Israel testifies to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart [not knowing he’s reached the expected end, because his mind of understanding is gone]: they call to Egypt [to their oppressors for help], they go to Assyria [they go to the communists for help].
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them [as a snare upon the whole earth]; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven [removing their strength, which is understanding the time and what they are experiencing]; I will chastise [correct them] them, as their congregation has heard [of the scourge of correction that was foretold and explained here in detail].
13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me [into the snare of those destroying them]: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds [as I commanded them, to open their mouth, yet all refuse]: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
16 They return, but not to the Most High [but instead to those who destroyed them, foolishly thinking they will lead them anywhere else other than where they have]: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword [by this word from My mouth] for the rage [za’am – My indignation because] of their tongue [speaking what they shouldn’t and not what they should]: this shall be their derision in the land [‘erets – this earth moment] of Egypt [when it is ruled by tyrants in power].
The word “derision” (describing the condition of the earth because those leading God’s people refuse to make His presence known, instead remaining in the mass delusions of the time believing He isn’t present) is from the seven times used word la’ag, meaning “derision, scoffing:–derision, scorn (-ing)”
We have, in previous posts, looked at two other uses (of the same exact word, used 18 times, given two different numbers, both meaning the same thing) in Psalms 2:4 and Proverbs 1:26.
Proverbs 1
22 How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners [luwts – scoffers, because of your own private interpretations] delight in their scorning [latsown – contemptuous ridicule and mockery], and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand [giving understanding from heaven], and no man regarded;
25 But you have set at naught all my counsel [‘etsah], and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock [la’ag – I will speak with stammering words you don’t understand] when your fear comes [because you delight in mockery];
27 When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind [by My Almighty Spirit working to bring these things upon you]; when distress [tsarah – tribulation] and anguish comes upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me [because “this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men”]:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel [‘etsah]: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices [mow’etsah – their own evil counsel].
Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed (I Am), saying,
3 Let us break their bands [the law of nature] asunder, and cast away their cords [the law of God] from us.
4 He that sits in the heavens [the place of His strength: full understanding: Omnipotence] shall laugh [sachaq – at the foolishness they decree and call wisdom]: the LORD shall have them in derision [la’ag – mock them because of their ignorance of which they are willfully ignorant].
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king (I Am) upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare [announce] the decree [choq]: “The LORD has said unto me, ‘You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.'”
8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen 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]; you shall dash them [the old and fully corrupt] in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
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.
Isaiah 28
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue [this truth you don’t understand and have mocked] will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest [mnuwchah – manoah: this rest] wherewith you may cause the weary to rest [nuwach – Noah: those who reach the expected end]; and this is the refreshing [marge’ah – only used here; ma raga’: what quieting of {rest from} the proud waves of the sea: who are agitating humanity]: yet they would not hear.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken [shabar], and snared [yaqosh], and taken [lakad].
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell [sheol – the habitation of the dead] are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation [for the new earth]: he that believes shall not make haste [chuwsh – when I hasten the end of the wicked]. [Isaiah 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one {tsa’iyr} a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten {chuwsh} it in his time {when the LORD is revealed by His everlasting light manifested in the flesh}.]
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail [this word frozen in heaven until now] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place [the lies of the wicked].
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell [Sheol] shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge [of correction] shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down [as dung upon the dunghill] by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation [because of the filthy conversation of the wicked] only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – to hear this word as the voice of Jehovah].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a [sleeping] man can stretch himself on it: and the covering [maccekah] narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim [as when He broke forth as waters breaking forth upon David’s enemies], he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon [when He sent a great hail from heaven], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act [at which all wonder].
22 Now, therefore, be you not mockers [luwts – with your own {private} interpretations], lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD God of hosts a consumption [kalah – a completing end], even determined [charats – decreed] upon the whole earth.
Isaiah 29
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 [kacah].
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book [cepher] that is sealed [chatham], which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed [chatham]:
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 mind – their corrupt stiocheion] far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [eye opening] work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder [pele’ – at which all have wondered]: 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 [wicked] counsel [‘etsah] from the LORD, and their works are in the dark [hidden in the ignorance, in the false reality: delusions and insanity, they’ve created], and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down [the overthrow of rational thought] shall be esteemed as the potter’s [yatsar] clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed [yatser] say of him that framed [yatsar – wrote it into His published plan] it, He had no understanding?
The words Isaiah (the LORD in him) uses above in Isaiah 28:14, identify the “scornful” men He speaks of in the following verse (15), are (rendered) broken, snared, and taken by this very word of God.
Jeremiah 50
20 In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve [the remnant who remain undefiled by the confusion that ruled the world into mass insanity].
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim [only used here; ma ratham – yoked to this confusion], even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod [of this visitation, when the LORD as the Chief Overseer comes for their punishment]: waste and utterly destroy after them, says the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded you [to rise and condemn this evil generation].
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction [of the confusion they have sown].
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken [shabar]! how is Babylon [the confusion that rules the world] become a desolation among the nations!
24 I have laid a snare [yaqosh] for you, and you are also taken [lakad], O Babylon, and you were not aware [because you are blind, ignorant, and now insane, unable to distinguish between this reality and your created delusion]: you are found [matsa’ – now appear before the eyes of all the world, because the LORD has uncovered you and drawn you into His marvelous light], and also caught [in the act of evil], because you have striven [garah – stir strife] against the LORD.
25 The LORD has opened his armoury, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation [za’am]: for this is the work of the LORD God of hosts [a man of war] in the land of the Chaldeans [among those who’ve used deception and the violence of lies, to manipulate and control the world into doing evil].
26 Come against her from the utmost border [this end of the old corrupt heaven and earth], open her storehouses [her stronghold of lies]: cast her up as heaps [of dung upon the earth], and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation [pquddah – this appearing of the Chief Overseer, to restore order by laying again His right foundations].
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon [of confusion], to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
The word rendered “scornful,” in Isaiah 28:14 above, is the three times used Hebrew word ‘latsown, meaning they are the cause of the “derision [contemptuous ridicule or mockery].”
Proverbs 29
8 Scornful [‘latsown] men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contends [shaphat – argues justice, judges] with a foolish man [those ignorant of their own ignorance], whether he rage or laugh [sachaq – mock], there is no rest [nachath – understanding never lights upon him, because the fool never stops arguing, gaslighting: intentionally misleading other fools, when he is obviously shown to be guilty].
10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright [and seek to drain away his life]: but the just seek [to redeem] his [the upright’s] soul [from the bloodthirsty].
11 A fool utters all his [foolish] mind: but a wise man keeps it in till afterward [patient {waiting on the LORD} until truth appears in the experience].
12 If a ruler hearkens [qashab] to lies [letting them pierce into truth and justice], all his servants are wicked. [When, as now, a nation hears only lies, as does ours from the fake and cowardly media that controls, and censors truth from, all discourse.]
13 The poor [ruwsh – needing help] and the deceitful man meet together [in this time of cultivated mass-ignorance that weakens all]: the LORD lightens [gives understanding to] both their eyes [strengthening those who receive Him against the wicked who’ve blinded them].
14 The king that faithfully judges [shaphat] the poor [dal – the weak who are unable to help themselves], his throne [by this justice] shall be established forever.
15 The rod and reproof [the LORD’s correction] gives wisdom: but a child [not yet taught, by experience or reproof] left to himself brings his mother to shame.
16 When the wicked are multiplied [as they now are], transgression increases [as it has]: but the righteous shall see their fall.
17 Correct your son, and he shall give you rest [nuwach – {Noah} the expected end]; yea, he shall give delight unto your soul.
18 Where there is no vision [no understanding of, or truth told about, the future coming, known by similar experiences {cause and effect} in history, understood to be the laws of nature and nature’s God], the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he [finding the happiness lawfully pursued].
All following is from the post of 6 – 8 April 2023
O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walks to direct his steps.
The LORD begins above in Jeremiah 10:23, speaking of authentic intelligence, which we must understand. In the previous post, we briefly discussed those who seek the commendation of men, an approval that comes by agreement, which is temporally and falsely called “intelligence” by this evil generation.
It (this evil generation) fails on all accounts when tested against the true definition of intellect, which is (from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary) a: the power of knowing as distinguished from the power to feel and to will: the capacity for knowledge; b: the capacity for rational or intelligent thought, especially when highly developed.
The result of this lack (elevating feelings and will into opinions substituted for knowledge) is the inability to solve complex problems and instead acting irrationally, ignorantly supposing and proposing them (irrational acts) as such (solutions).
As we know, this is the dilemma spiritually described as captivity in Babylon (confusion that now rules the world), which the LORD let run its course and blossom into mass delusion (insanity: the inability to distinguish between reality and the delusions your strayed minds have created).
As policy, the condition is intentionally imposed through programming by those who removed God from their knowledge and then taught what produced weakness of minds they could control and (parasitically) consume. This (weakness’) end (self-evident to those awakened to reality) includes the inability to recognize the presence of the attack within (paradoxically disguising itself in feelings of superiority and a conscience corrupted by deceitful data entered), and instead, rejecting it as the cause, believes the cure (a sound mind) is the threat, which, in defense of the cause, must be combatted (attacked and destroyed).
This (the process of demoralization) is alluded to in the title verse, as the “way” and “walk” of man directed by men who’ve created gods they put in the place of the true and living God with us. He is here and always has been for those who choose to hear Him, and when learning His ways and walk (Good Programming in us), He gives us understanding, which is the light and life of men of sound minds.
So, don’t believe the modern churches that have devolved into telling you all you have to do is believe (them, and the gods they call by the name of the true God they reject). The “grace” they are ignorant of, by which you are saved, is the mind of the LORD God in us, by learning His ways and ideas, the free education He gives to all who receive it (His mind).
Colossians 2
6 As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the LORD, so walk you in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain [worthless] deceit [of this evil generation], after the tradition of men, after the rudiments [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas] of the world, and not after Christ [the LORD manifested in the flesh of those He sends to teach and lead].
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ [removing the flesh and seeing the LORD within]:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also you are risen with him through the faith [believing He is risen in the flesh of those the LORD sends] of the operation of God, who has raised him from the dead.
Romans 12
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, [the gift] to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in ONE BODY, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being many, are ONE BODY in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Philippians 3
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my LORD: for whom I have suffered the loss of all [worthless and unneeded] things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith [that it is Him in the flesh, working and speaking]:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those [worthless and unneeded] things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those [needed] things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal [apokalupto] even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an example.
18 (For many walk [their own way], of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Matthew 11
I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because you have hid [apokrupto] these things from the wise [sophos] and prudent [of the world], and have revealed [apokalupto] them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 All things [needed] are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and LEARN of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
The word, in the title verse, rendered “direct” is kuwn, a word used seven times by Jeremiah, meaning “to be erect (i.e. stand perpendicular); hence (causatively) to set up, in a great variety of applications, whether literal (establish, fix, prepare, apply), or figurative (appoint, render sure, proper or prosperous).” In his (Jeremiah’s) other uses, the LORD describes who and what is established by His directing our walk and way.
Jeremiah 10
1 Hear [[shama’ – obey]] you the word which the LORD speaks unto you, O house of Israel [All My people who receive this promised gift]:
2 Thus says the LORD, Learn [lamad – goaded by teaching] not the way [derek] of the heathen [who removed God from their knowledge], and be not dismayed [chathath – broken by their own confusion] the signs [‘owth – this signal of the end reached] of heaven [understood by this full understanding delivered from the LORD]; for the heathen are dismayed [chathath – broken by not understanding the time and season] at them.
3 For the customs [chuqqah – the unrighteous decrees about the appointed time] of the people are vain [worthless]: for [making their idols] one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it moves not [from the false teaching that formed it].
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not [the words of the LORD]: they must needs be borne [to be carried], because they cannot go [man cannot go anywhere, nor advance at all by walking in their ways]. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil [cannot mislead those the LORD has awakened], neither also is it in them to do good [by leading by His ways].
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto you, O LORD [the only way, truth, and life in man]; you are great, and your name [knowing your identity manifested in this way of godliness, its mystery revealed] is great in might.
7 Who would not fear you, O King of nations [quoted in Revelation 15:3 & 4, there spoken when John saw these signs in heaven as the seven last plagues upon the earth, when the tabernacle of testimony, this word of God, is opened in heaven, at the end of the chronos, the times {Romans 16:25 & Revelation 10:6} which were discussed in the previous post]? for to you does it [this understanding] appertain [the one-time ya’ah appears, which is the ultimate root of the LORD’s name Yahh – the one to whom it fits, in who it occurs]: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto you [revealing your truths from the place where they were held].
8 But they are altogether brutish [the makers of idols, the bruit of darkness spoken of in verses 21 & 22 below] and foolish: the stock [the idols they’ve formed] is a doctrine of vanities [worthlessness, because they fashioned it to be commended of men].
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11 Thus shall you say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the [new] earth, and from under these heavens [this understanding returned, ending the old and beginning the new].
12 He has made the earth by his power, he has established [kuwn – and directs] the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out [expounded in the firmament, rightly dividing the water above from the waters below, the word from the mouth of God separated from the words from the mouths of dragons] the heavens by his discretion.
13 When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he cause the vapors [the separated element of understanding] to ascend [into the cloud] from the ends [ending the old and beginning the new] of the earth; he makes lightnings with rain [His word and understanding to congeal in the cloud and come to the earth], and bringeth forth the wind [His Spirit moving upon the face of the darkened deep] out of his treasures [this gift from heaven].
14 Every man [none having this understanding] is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image [their ways and ideas they’ve created and put in My place]: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath [life] in them.
15 They are vanity [worthless], and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation [Now when I have sent My son as the Chief Overseer of the earth, through him, in him, to set all things in order] they shall perish.
16 The portion [inheritance] of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod [the branch grown from the root in a dry ground] of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts [a man of war] is his name.
17 Gather up your wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
18 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous [chalah – the disease during Abram’s deep sleep – as in Daniel 8:27, when none understood]; but I said, Truly this is a grief [only appearing one other time in Jeremiah, in Jeremiah 6:7, there speaking of Jerusalem, when the darkness comes out of the north as a war against her], and I must bear it.
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent anymore, and to set up my curtains.
21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered [as it remains this day, and My people would have it this way].
22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah [when the elect remnant is held down and] desolate, and a den of dragons [tanniyn – by the ever-open mouths, like serpents and whales swallowing, devouring them].
23 O LORD, I know that the way [derek] of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walks [his own way] to direct [kuwn] his steps.
24 O LORD, correct me [teach me out of ignorance, like Zerubbabel: born again by coming out of confusion], but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on your name [your presence and identity manifested]: for they [with mouths like serpents and whales] have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
Zechariah 4
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Know you not what these be? And I said, No, my LORD.
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel [in the king line of Judah {David thru Jesus} – born again by coming out of confusion], saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit [working and speaking in the flesh], says the LORD of hosts [a man of war].
7 Who are you, O great mountain [the corrupt in power]? before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone [the seed of Joseph, like Joshua the son of Nun, from where comes the shepherd and stone] thereof with shouting, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 The hands [the work] of Zerubbabel [by coming out of confusion] have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you.
10 For who has despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet [the measuring line] in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven [the angels of the seven churches]; they are the [single] eyes of the LORD [seeing as He sees], which run to and fro [with an everlasting gospel to preach] through the whole earth.
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick [from who the LORD shines] and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Know you not what these be? And I said, No, my LORD.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones [Joshua and Zerubbabel – here the cleansed priesthood and the children the LORD has given them], that stand by the LORD [‘adown – king, here referring to the seed of Joseph, Shiloh: tranquility {restoring clam}] of the whole earth.
Revelation 15
1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up [the anointing oil that makes them shine] the wrath of God.
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass [the people calmed away from those agitating them] mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast [Babylon – the confusion that ruled over the world], and over his image, and over his mark [in his words and works, ideas and ways, in head and hand], and over the number of his name [ashes of the world he ruined, the dust in which he slithers {Strong’s Hebrews Dictionary number 666, the number of a man, assign by James Strong}, in which he [[the serpent]] hides his identity], stand on the sea of glass [in our victory over death, calming the people of the new earth], having the harps of God.
3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are your works, LORD God Almighty; just and true are your ways, you King of saints.
4 Who shall not fear you, O LORD, and glorify your name? [Yahh – to whom it appertains] for you only are holy [pure of all corruption]: for all nations shall come and worship before you; for your judgments are made manifest [phaneroo].
5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
6 And the seven angels [the messengers with the LORD’s message] came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles [the preparation of these treasure].
7 And one of the four beasts [Ezekiel 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces {presence}, they four had the face of a man {in whom the mystery of godliness is revealed}, and the face {as presence} of a lion {a king roaring: speaking this word from the mouth of God}, on the right side: and they four had the face {presence} of an ox {working in the earth, the Spirit of the LORD moving} on the left side; they four also had the face {presence} of an eagle {by the LORD’s strength, full understanding, flying in the heavens}.] gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.
8 And the temple was filled with smoke [to rid it of the vermin that were before infesting it] from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels [cleansing the seven churches: the now corrupt institutions] were fulfilled.
These seven plagues are poured out in the following chapter (Revelation 16), revealing the infestation’s cause and effect. The cleansing thereof occurs when the seventh angel clears the air of smoke, pouring his vial into it. His voice is then heard from the throne in the temple saying, “It is done,” referring to the last verse above fulfilled.
The “air” (aer – same word as in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, where we meet the LORD) is telling where the smoke comes from, referring to the word’s use in Revelation 9:2, when the star falls from heaven (no longer having full understanding), and opens the bottomless pit (the endless fall, once it starts, of man away from God). Out of this pit comes smoke that darkens the “air” and sun (so none could see the way, and the church became filled with ignorance: without light). It says, in this smoke are locusts (devouring all that grows on the earth), who have power like scorpions, but they don’t hurt any green thing, only those men who don’t have the seal of God (His protective understanding) in their heads.
These scorpions torment men with their strikes: their words, as venom doing its damage inside, rotting men’s minds over time. We are told these locusts, with bites (their messages) like scorpions, have a king over them, who is the messenger (angel) of the bottomless pit. This king is given names that mean destroyer and destruction.
The men who subsequently follow, still in the endless fall away, whose strength and voice (as horses they ride and word as if roaring from lions) out of whose mouth comes that same (blinding ignorance) are smoke, with fire and brimstone. These are the corrupt teaching of false prophets that follows, whose tails (the effect of what they cause) are like serpents, now not just tormenting and rotting minds but killing men’s (already rotted) minds.
In the following chapter (Revelation 10), the seventh angel sounds, revealing the thunders that were mysteries.
Revelation 10
5 And the [seventh] angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And swore by him that lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time [chronos] no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound [be heard as the only voice of God], the mystery [musterion] of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets.
Friends, the world is now again become without form and void, filled with confusion and emptiness, an effect caused by many voices babbling opinions, feelings uncontrolled by their own ignorant will. This is hell, and all are dead, and the only way out of death and hell is hearing the One Voice of the LORD and following His instructions.
Psalms 98
1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he has done marvelous things [opening our eyes to things needed]: his right hand, and his holy arm, has gotten him the victory.
2 The LORD has made known his salvation: his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the heathen.
3 He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
5 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.
7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
9 Before [in the presence of] the LORD; for he comes to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
