9 – 11 September 2023
Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
The above, Zephaniah 3:1 & 2, is the final “woe,” when correction has come by the LORD’s long-suffering and had no effect on the incorrigibly wicked.
Revelation 12
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven [no longer looking to the deceivers to report truth: knowing there is no truth in them].
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceived the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels [his evil messengers, reporting known lies and false accusations] were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he hath but a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth [and the blood of those they killed, by their bioweapons, evil prescriptions, and lockdowns, for their evil purposes cried out], and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman [because she brought forth the man], and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep [obey] the commandments of God, and have the testimony [this word of God they repeat] of Jesus Christ.
The time described above is that spoken of in Daniel 12, when Michael (who is like God) stands, and in the tribulation, the time of Jacob’s trouble (tsarah – the tribulation), “many of them that sleep in the dust [ruin] of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.”
We know this is now, a time of war and not peace, a time to gather to the LORD and not remain scattered.
Jeremiah 30
5 For thus says the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
6 Ask you now, and see whether a man does travail with child [as My people do to bring forth the son of man]? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness [all are weak and fainting until they bring him forth]?
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble [tsarah – the tribulation], but he shall be saved out of it.
8 For it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10 Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob, says the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save you [the things described hereafter are the causes of the tribulation, which are reversed saving us] from afar [rachowq – from the evil decrees of this time], and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
11 For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you [when you know Me]: though I make a full end of all nations [qowy – all who don’t know Me] whither I have scattered you, yet I will not make a full end [kalah] of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished.
12 For thus says the LORD, Your bruise is incurable, and your wound is grievous.
13 There is none to plead your cause, that you mayest be bound up: you have no healing medicines [rphu’ak – a key word referring us to its other two uses – see below, this is the cure the enemy prescribes, which is more of the cause, more of their evil misleading and ignorance].
14 All your lovers have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity; because your sins were increased.
15 Why cry you for your affliction? your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity: because your sins were increased, I have done these things unto you.
16 Therefore all they that devour you [with their open mouths] shall be devoured [by the mouth of the LORD exalted against them]; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon you will I give for a prey.
17 For I will restore health [‘aruwkah – a six times used word speaking of our perfection, wholeness in His ONE BODY ] unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.
18 Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice [speaking as the mouth of the LORD] of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me [paniym – now in My presence], and I will punish [paqad – when I Am known to be here as the Chief Overseer of the earth] all that oppress them.
21 And their [My awakened people’s] nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? says the LORD.
22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD [from where His voice is heard] goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he has performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days [‘achariyth – these last days] you shall consider [biyn – understand] it.
In the following chapters, we read of the work that brings the foretold health, using the word ‘aruwkah. The first of these is 2 Chronicles 24:13, where (with the word ‘alah, meaning to rise) it is rendered “perfection.”
2 Chronicles 24
4 And it came to pass after this, that Joash [Jehovah has given] was minded to repair the house of the LORD.
5 And he gathered together the priests and the Levites [joined with the LORD], and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that you hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
6 And the king called for Jehoiada [who knows the identity of Jehovah] the chief [Overseer], and said unto him, Why hast you not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection [gathering all God’s people into His ONE BODY], according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness [to send forth this word of God as commanded]?
7 For the sons of Athaliah [afflicted by Jehovah], that wicked woman, had broken up [scattered the LORD’s people] the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim [the men they’ve made the idols of this world, which they put in God’s place: the erroneous teaching and preaching words and ways created by them].
8 And at the king’s commandment they made a chest [‘arown – the ark of the testament], and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
9 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection [mas’eth – words as a rising flame] that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end [kalah – a full end of these idols].
11 Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money [these treasures of God outside the corrupt houses], the king’s scribe and the high priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money [these treasures] in abundance.
12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.
13 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected [‘aruwkah ‘alah – and God’s people were healed and raises] by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it [with understanding from His mouth].
Nehemiah 4
7 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat [whose strength is deception], and Tobiah [who say they are doing good for the LORD], and the Arabians [who are enemies mixed among us], and the Ammonites [who scatter God’s people], and the Ashdodites [who the LORD will destroy], heard that the walls [understanding – truth that protects them from enemies] of Jerusalem were made up [‘aruwkah ‘alah – were receiving health and rising], and that the breaches [their scattering] began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
8 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against [God’s people – New Heavenly] Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
9 Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
10 And Judah [the leaders of God’s people] said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish [‘aphar – ashes of ruin]; so that we are not able to build the wall.
11 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence you shall return unto us they will be upon you.
13 Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not you afraid of them: remember the LORD, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to naught, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
Isaiah 58
6 Is not this the fast [to abstain from the evil counsel of the wicked mixed among you] that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal your bread [the word from the mouth of the LORD, which they have not known] to the hungry, and that you bring the poor [those without worldly power into My ONE BODY] that are cast out to your house? when you sees the naked [without protection from the evil elements of the world], that you cover him [with My words]; and that you hide not yourself from your own flesh?
8 Then shall your light [understanding] break forth as the morning [a new day for the earth], and your health [‘aruwkah] shall spring forth speedily: and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD [His presence revealed in you] shall be your reward.
9 Then shall you call, and the LORD shall answer; you shall cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity [your own worthless words];
10 And if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light rise in obscurity, and your darkness be as the noon day:
11 And the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, says the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves [qeber – the tombs where their dead bodies are kept]:
2 And they shall spread them before the sun [the church they’ve corrupted], and the moon [civil government also totally darkened and draining the life of those they tyrannically rule], and all the host of heaven [all God’s people at large], [their Father’s wife] whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts.
4 Moreover you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD; Shall they fall [away to these misleaders], and not arise? shall he turn away [from their LORD], and not return?
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return [to this truth by My correction].
6 I hearkened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? everyone turned to his course, as the horse rushes into the battle [under the men taking them there].
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times [mow’ed]; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe [shamar – obey] the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8 How do you say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore will I give their wives [those who followed them] unto others, and their fields to them [that do obey the LORD’s commands] that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness [they judge their success by their worldly wealth, knowing not that they are without heavenly treasure], from the prophet even unto the priest every one [is puffed up, swelled with pride, and] deals falsely.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace [they sit still while they enemies are among them warring against their bodies and minds: life, liberty, and property].
12 Were they ashamed when they [these misleaders] had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – now when the LORD has come as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
13 I will surely consume them [with this word from My mouth], says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them [as it is occurring before their eyes, they see it and know it, but those they follow lead them into sitting still].
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defensed cities [the places that hear and obey the voice of the LORD, who have joined His ONE BODY, and subordinate their will to His good leadership], and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16 The snorting of his horses [under misleaders running into the battle against us] was heard from Dan [which is the judgment of God, as He warned and all have forgotten]: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones [the communists joined with the wicked in power]; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you [whose venom is in their mouths speaking nothing except lies, yet their army follows them, and their known lies, because of the enmity], which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says the LORD.
18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed]: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities [worthless ways far from God]?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black [my people chose death and remain blind to the LORD’s presence, while claiming they are wise and see everything]; astonishment has taken hold on me [the dead body of Christ].
22 Is there no balm in Gilead [in this testimony]; is there no physician there? why then is not the health [‘aruwkah] of the daughter of my people recovered?
Friends, this word isn’t going to be heard from the prominent and wise of this world. They reject it because they are ashamed of those from whom it is heard.
1 Corinthians 1
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written [in Jeremiah 9:24], He that glorieth, let him glory in [that he understands and knows] the LORD.
Jeremiah 9
20 Yet hear [shama’ – obey] the word of the LORD, O you women [teachers], and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
22 Speak, Thus say the LORD, Even the carcasses of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.
23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercises lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, say the LORD.
The following, ending with Ephesians 3, are excerpts from the post of 13 – 14 August 2023 (with additions in double brackets).
Thus says the LORD; If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
In the above, Jeremiah 33:20, the LORD speaks of what is written in Genesis 1, the time of light and darkness covering His people. In the latter, He tells of the great lights in heaven: the sun and moon representing church and state governments (places where understanding, light, should be and from there propagated). He is speaking of the times when it (light) is and isn’t there, as seasons that have inseparably continued throughout history. When (light is) therein, they’ve (obtaining the consent of the governed) produced great empires, which in prosperity (forgetting and abandoning the light) vile men lusting for wealth (perverse gratification) rose to power, beginning demagogues and ending tyrants (as in the present darkness).
In this circuit of time, beginning and ending ages, there is always another season to follow, as the LORD promised. This generation finds itself in the darkest of times, amid another night, covering the world in its shadow of death. The promise (the unbreakable covenant) the LORD made with His people, those who trust (have faith) in Him, is He will rise as light in the darkness, and from the event shall come a new day (“world without end, Amen”).
Speaking of this moment, the ‘achariyth, these last days of darkness, the rescue that comes in this time of Jacob’s trouble, is foretold (from the mouth of the LORD) in the passage surrounding the title.
Jeremiah 33
14 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land [‘erets].
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.
17 For thus says the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Thus says the LORD; If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
23 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Consider you not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD has chosen, he has even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25 Thus says the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth [‘erets];
26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity [by My good spell: this gospel that will captivate those of sound mind] to return, and have mercy on them.
The chapter, Jeremiah 33, begins with the LORD, as the Creator, telling us to call upon Him (having faith) and He will answer, showing “you great and mighty things, which you know not.”
Jeremiah 33
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison [as I Am also a prisoner for the LORD’s sake, concerning His people], saying,
2 Thus says the LORD the maker thereof [the earth and all therein], the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name;
3 Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not.
4 For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts [by the siege engines of the enemy], and by the sword;
5 They [the leaders of God’s people] come to fight with the Chaldeans [those using their words as weapons of war against us], but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men [those who are among God’s people exalting there words and ways above His, to keep their power over them], whom I have slain in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose [blinding] wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
6 Behold, I will bring it health [[‘aruwkah]] and cure [in the form of a son of man {I Am this man the LORD chose and sent; I Am the king of His choosing – I know it’s hard to believe He would, “27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.” 1 Corinthians 1], and I will cure them, and will [as they have asked] reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
9 And it shall be to me a name [My identity revealed] of joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth [‘erets], which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
10 Thus says the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which you say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts [a man of war I Am]: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endures forever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land [‘erets – the earth], as at the first [when I created it and it was good], says the LORD.
12 Thus says the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin [this nation that is My right hand], and in the places about [Heavenly New] Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah [the new crop of Godly leaders], shall the flocks pass [‘abar – shall Passover from death into life] again under the hands of him that tells them, says the LORD.
As we’ve often discussed, the word rendered “tells” is the twenty-eight times used Hebrew word manah, meaning “to weigh out; by implication, to allot or constitute officially; also to enumerate or enroll:–appoint, count, number, prepare, set, tell.” It (manah) here speaks of my authority, vested in me by The Almighty, to officially constitute this new heaven, earth, and His new nation: His kingdom on earth. The only people who will have a problem with His doing so are those who have always resisted Him (they choose darkness because their deeds are evil).
(And for those asking what I want or have asked for, the answer is nothing. I Am what and where I Am supposed to be, already seated with all I need. Thank You, LORD. Amen!)
The quote above, “world without end,” appears twice in the written word of God, first in Isaiah 45:17 and then in Ephesians 3:21.
Isaiah 45
1 Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus [an appellative speaking the king who is the LORD in the furnace with us], whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates [out of hell into his kingdom]; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight [the polluted pure]: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give you the treasures of darkness [hidden in men’s ignorance], and hidden riches of secret place [these treasures from the LORD’s treasure houses in the clouds], that you mayest know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name [your real identity], am the God of Israel [which I named and called you by].
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me [as it has been until these last days]:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun [the light of this new day], and from the west [its shining into the darkness that was covering the earth], that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil [the misleaders against whom My righteousness is contrasted]: I the LORD do all these things.
8 Drop down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open [her mouth], and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
9 Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds [worthless vessels created of the earth]. Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it, What make you? or your work, He has no hands?
10 Woe unto him that says unto his father, What begot you? or to the woman, What have you brought forth?
11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command you me.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out [this exposition, the firmament of] the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 I have raised him [I Am] up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD of hosts [I Am who is a man of war].
14 Thus says the LORD, The labor of Egypt [mitsrayim – two {double} straits, oppression, which the LORD said {in Matthew 7:13 &14} must be avoided as we navigate the way into His kingdom], and merchandise of Ethiopia [men covered in darkness] and of the Sabeans [drunken with power and thereby become without right reasoning], men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be yours: they shall come after you; in chains [restrained by My law] they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, saying, Surely God is in you; and there is none else, there is no [other] God.
15 Truly you are a God that hides yourself [as You walk among the ignorant], O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded [kalam], all of them: they shall go to confusion [klimmah] together that are makers of idols.
17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: you shall not be ashamed nor confounded [kalam] world without end.
18 For thus says the LORD that created the heavens [the place where full understand resides]; God himself that formed the [old that became without form, and void – now made new] earth [wherein dwells righteousness] and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret [but right here in the open sight of those only blinded by their own corrupted minds], in a dark place [to those so ignorant and proud that they will never see] of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek you me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right [by which the good seed comes to life].
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together [into the LORD’s ONE BODY], you that are escaped of the nations [all those who haven’t known the LORD]: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image [the idols they’ve created, even calling them by My name], and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Tell you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time [qedem – see Isaiah 51:9]? who has told it from that time [the word here is miyn {with affinity to min} which speak of the beginning of the species: king]? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me [as the fiery serpent was lifted by Moses in the wilderness], and be you saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed [zealous for their ignorance] against him shall be ashamed [when this end comes and they find themselves to have wrestled with the word of God into their own perishing].
25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I Paul [Timothy], the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit [His working unknown to reveal Himself in us through us];
6 That the Gentiles [those who don’t truly know Him, even the sleeping dead that think they do] should be fellow heirs, and of the same [ONE] body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our LORD:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore I desire that you faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
The places where the LORD further speaks of the evil prescriptions (rphu’ah) of the wicked, are Jeremiah 46:11 and Ezekiel 30:21.
Jeremiah 46
3 Order you the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 Harness the horses; and get up, you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.
5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, says the LORD.
6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north [into darkness] by the river Euphrates [as these blessings flow from the LORD].
7 Who is this that comes up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
8 Egypt [the tyrants in power among us] rises up [with deceptive words and evil works] like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he says, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city [corrupt Jerusalem] and the inhabitants thereof.
9 Come up, you horses; and rage, you chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians [those covered in ignorance] and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians [who set fire to the earth], that handle and bend the bow.
10 For this is the day of the LORD God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the LORD God of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country [those ignorant of their own ignorance] by the river Euphrates [this word of the LORD, from which flows His blessings].
11 Go up into Gilead [rise up against this testimony from His mouth], and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shall you use many medicines [rphu’ah – prescribing more of the same deceptions as cure]; for you shall not be cured.
12 The nations have heard of your shame, and your cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.
13 The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of the false prophets that cause the desolation of the earth] should come and smite the land of Egypt [the tyrants in power].
14 Declare [the Word of God] you in Egypt [against the oppressors], and publish in Migdol [against their high places], and publish in Noph [against their prominent misleaders] and in Tahpanhes [warring against the presence of the LORD, rejecting His mercy in the words from His mouth]: say you, Stand fast, and prepare you; for the sword [this word that should have been your health] shall devour round about you.
15 Why are your valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
16 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed [mow’ed].
18 As I live, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come [their own ways retuned upon them].
Ezekiel 30
1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the LORD God; Howl you, Woe worth the day!
3 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
6 Thus says the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene [the high places whose false teaching vails My presence] shall they fall in it by the sword, says the LORD God.
7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
8 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.
9 In that day shall messengers [declaring My presence] go forth from me in ships [the churches] to make the careless Ethiopians [those covered in darkness] afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it comes.
10 Thus says the LORD God; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of the false prophets that caused the desolation of the earth, shall return upon the heads of the tyrants in power].
11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
12 And I will make the rivers [of their deceptions] dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it.
18 At Tehaphnehes [those warring against the presence of the LORD, who’ve rejected His mercy] also the day shall be darkened [the light in them shall be understood to be ignorance], when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year [this time when confusion rules the world], in the first month [of the new creation], in the seventh day [the days of the LORD] of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed [nathan rphu’ah – not given a cure by their evil the prescribe], to put a roller [a bandage – mask: face bandage] to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
22 Therefore thus says the LORD God; Behold, I am against Pharaoh [Brandon, the idiot son of Obama and his husband] king of Egypt, and will break his arms [his strength: forced deception], the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
3 Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted 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, he fails not; but the unjust know no shame.
6 I have cut off the nations: their towers [high places] are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passes by: 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 – as the Chief Overseer came 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 [uncorrupted] language, 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 [the words that covered God’s people in darkness] my suppliants [who have cried of to Me for help], even the daughter of my dispersed [My scattered Body], shall bring my offering [the knowledge of God, which I desire].
11 In that day shall you not be ashamed for all your doings, wherein you hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of you them that rejoice in your pride, and you shall no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
12 I will also leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, 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 and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout [open your mouths I have filled with My word], O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 The LORD hath taken away your judgments, he hath cast out your enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of you: you shall not see evil any more.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear you not: and to Zion, Let not your hands be slack.
17 The LORD your God in the midst of you is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over you with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over you with singing.
18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of you, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict you: and I will save her that halted [was lame and went astray], 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: 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.
Psalms 94
1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs; O God, to whom vengeance belongs, show yourself.
2 Lift up yourself, you judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Understand, you brutish among the people: and you fools, when will you be wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that chastises the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teaches man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teaches him out of your law;
13 That you mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts [the truth into which you have led me] delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity [the wicked now in power] have fellowship with you [LORD], which frame mischief by a law [they pervert]?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
