19 – 23 September 2023
That which has been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
The above, Ecclesiastes 6:10, is referring us to God creating (bara’) man (‘adam) in His image (tselem). Genesis 1:27 tells us He created (bara’) them male (zakar – to remember) and female (nqebah, from naqab, to express or pierce), and collectively called (qara’) their name Adam (‘adam).
The LORD’s image, tselem (see the post of 27 October 2019), is His family (generations), in which He lives in this earth age.
Ecclesiastes 6
1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun [light left in the care of man, those joined as keepers who, through generations, guard and protect the oracles received from God: the church], and it is common among men [‘adam]:
2 A man [‘iysh – an individual] to whom God has given riches [as I have here now], wealth, and honor, so that he wants [chacer – lacks] nothing [“For He has made him a little lower {chacer} than the angels {‘elohiym}, and has crowned him with glory and honor.” Psalms 8:5 and Hebrews 2:7 & 9] for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him not power [shalat – only used eight times, here meaning he is not given the authority to keep it in his mouth only] to eat thereof, but a stranger [‘iysh – another man] eats it [takes it into his mouth where it is then corrupted from the original]: this is vanity, and it is an evil [misleading] disease [that ends in death, where we have all now reached].
3 If a man [‘iysh – this stranger] begets a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good [if he removes some of the original understanding and thereby starts a falling away from God’s word as delivered], and also that he has no burial [if his trespass continues without end]; I say, that an untimely birth [nephel – ending error before it takes hold of the next generation] is better than he. [The word nephel only appears two other times: Job 3:16, where Job calls it a hiding place, and Psalms 58:8, speaking of when the wicked, who from the womb go astray, melt away as an untimely birth.]
4 For he comes in with vanity [worthless words that mislead], and departs in darkness [ignorance of his own straying], and his name [his identity as a misleader] shall be covered with darkness [shall be hidden by his own worthless ignorance].
5 Moreover, he has not seen the sun [the original light], nor known any thing: this [ignorance] has more rest [nachath – causes descent that silences the truth] than the other [increasing as it further strays from the original].
6 Yea, though he [his errors] live a thousand years twice told, yet has he seen no good [never knowing the original as received]: do not all [by this degeneration over time] go to one place [death, where all ‘adam has now arrived]?
7 [For now] All the labor of man [‘adam] is for his mouth [to, with words, gathering into the belly of hell], and yet the appetite is not filled [until he devours all].
8 For what has the wise more than the fool [they are both alike ignorant, dead, and in hell they’ve created]? what has the poor [those without power], that knows to walk before the living [from whom understanding comes by the light, the life, in them]?
9 Better is the sight of the eyes [by which we see the LORD present] than the wandering of the desire [those who are never satisfied]: this [wandering] is also vanity [worthless] and vexation of [r’uwth – striving against the] spirit.
10 That which has been is named already, and it is known that it is man [‘adam]: neither may he [he is not able to] contend [diyn – to strive any longer with, plead with worthless words against, the LORD here unknown in the judgment] with him that is mightier [taqqiyph – only appearing here] than he. [Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive {diyn} with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years {the time until the flood that has come would come}.]
11 Seeing there be many things [dabar – words and matters] that increase vanity [worthlessness], what is man [‘adam] the better?
12 For who knows what is good for man [‘adam] in this life, all the days of his vain [worthless] life which he spends as a shadow [tsel – flesh that blocks the light that is the LORD present alive in us]? for who can tell [nagad – stand boldly against] a man [‘adam] what shall be after [‘achar – in this last end] him under the sun [where the original light should be and now isn’t]?
Friends, I tell you again, this flesh is merely a vehicle we inhabit for a time. It dies while we never do, moving through eternity, not from one life to another, one life that never ends. This truth is the reality all humanity has, as it slept, forgotten.
1 Corinthians 15
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit [awakening to their immortality those sleeping in their now dead flesh].
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man [‘adam] is of the earth, earthy; the second man [‘adam – the ‘iysh, to whom this light is first given] is the LORD from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law [the written word that can be altered into corruption].
57 But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation that appears un-corruptible in the flesh speaking and working to restore order].
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the LORD, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain [not worthless] in the LORD.
Psalms 58
1 Do you indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do you judge uprightly, O you sons of men [‘adam]?
2 Yea, in heart [your minds darkened by corruption] you work wickedness; you weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Their poison [the words in their mouths] is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stops her ear [refusing to hear and obey this word of the LORD];
5 Which will not hearken to [shama’ – obey] the voice of charmers, charming [chabar – calling them to join Him] never so wisely [but they refuse to hear and obey].
6 Break their teeth [with which they devour], O God, in their mouth [with which they swallow into the belly of hell]: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 As a snail which melts, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth [nephel] of a woman, that they may not see the sun [this light that has come].
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns [the effects of their misleading], he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees [this is] the [LORD’s] vengeance: he shall wash his feet [of the corruption picked up in our journey] in the blood of the wicked.
11 So that a man shall say, Truly there is a reward for the righteous: truly he is a God that judges in the earth.
Friends, we are those to whom the LORD reveals Himself and our nature: His immortal children dwelling with Him in the flesh. A deeper understanding of this is discovered in the origin of the word taqqiyph, in Ecclesiastes 6:10 above, rendered “mightier,” when speaking of man unable to prevail against God. It is the three times used Hebrew word taqaph, meaning “to overpower:–prevail (against).”
It (taqaph) speaks of what prevailed against us, man {‘adam), without the LORD, not understanding or obeying His good leading, and against which (antagonists) He in us prevails. This is the peace (confident security that He is able, and with Him we are also able) that overcomes the world and gets the victory over death.
You that the LORD knows, hear and obey His word, and rise:
Job 14
1 Man [‘adam – a human] that is born of a woman [‘ishshah; ‘iysh seh – an individual among the flock] is of few days and full of trouble [rogez – agitation that rages in his time].
2 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down: he flees also as a shadow [tsel – one that is a product of a time without light], and continues not.
3 And do you open your eyes upon such a one [caught in such a time], and bring me into judgment with you?
4 Who [except you LORD, by your judgment] can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one [man].
5 Seeing his days are determined [charats – the decreed end], the number of his months are with you, you have appointed his bounds [choq – the appointed time decreed] that he cannot pass [‘abar – that without You he cannot Passover from death into life];
6 Turn from him, that he may rest [sleep in the flesh], till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day [the end when the recompense comes].
7 For [as is ‘adam] there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground [‘aphar – the ashes of the earth’s ruin, from where God created the first and second ‘adam];
9 Yet through the scent of water [perceiving the word of God] it will bud [be quickened to life], and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10 But man [geber – the mighty] dies, and wastes away: yea, man [‘adam] gives up the ghost [gava’ – with his last breath his unknown essence leaves his body], and where is he [no man knows]?
11 As the waters fail from the sea [as the word of God loses its original meaning, and its value is lost in the degeneration through successive generations], and the flood [of men’s corruption] decays and dries [it] up:
12 So man lieth down [sleeps in death unaware], and rises not: till the heavens [all understanding] be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13 O that you would hide me [as You have hidden me] in the grave [sheol – in hell among the sleeping dead], that you would keep me secret, until your wrath be past [and my enemies have become my footstool], that you would appoint [as you have appointed] me a set time [choq – this decreed end], and remember me [zakar, the same {identical} word rendered male in the creation of ‘adam, and the “man child” spoken of in Isaiah 66:7, the passage saying “5 Hear the word of the LORD, you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. 6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompense to his enemies. 7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child [zakar]. 8 Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? says your God.”]!
14 If a man [geber] die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change [chaliyphah– it speaks of changing our outer cover of flesh; only used one other time in Job; see Job 10:17 below] come.
15 You shall call [to awaken me], and I [when I am awakened] will answer you: you will have a desire to the work of your hands [making me in Your image and likeness].
16 For now you number my steps [understanding the corruption picked up along the way]: do you not watch over [shamar – you don’t protect and defend] my sin [the corrupt offering]?
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and you sew up my iniquity [you remove {by uncovering} the things we have put together: forged in Your name].
18 And surely the mountains [the high place of the earth] falling [away from good into evil] comes to naught, and the rock [the worthless governments in which the ignorant trust] is removed out of his place.
19 The waters wear the stones [that seem immovable]: [as] you [LORD] wash away the [corrupt] things which grow out of the dust [ruin] of the earth; and you [LORD] destroy the [worthless] hope of man [‘enowsh – those who choose to remain dead flesh, their promised utopia which is now realized to be hell].
20 You prevail [taqaph] forever against him, and he passes: you change [shanah – duplicate] his countenance [paniym], and send him away [into ignorance of his own presence in hell].
21 His sons come to honor, and he knows it not; and they are brought low, but he perceives it not of them [knowing not that he is them in hell].
22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his [unknown] soul within him shall mourn.
Job 10
1 My soul is weary of [paqat – only appearing here, loathes] my life; I will leave my complaint [siyach – contemplation] upon myself; [in death’s sleep] I will speak in the bitterness [mar] of my soul. [Ecclesiastes 7:26 And I find more bitter {mar} than death the woman {‘ishshah – an individual among the flock}, whose heart {corrupted mind} is snares and nets, and her hands {works} as bands {holding men in hell}: whoso please God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her {forever held in death}.]
2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; show me wherefore you contend with me.
3 Is it good unto you that you shouldest oppress, that you shouldest despise the work of your hands [making me in Your image and likeness], and shine upon [giving me understanding by] the counsel of the wicked?
4 Have you eyes of flesh? or sees you as man sees? [as Job does here, not understand “As I live, says the LORD God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?” Ezekiel 33:11, and 2 Peter 3:9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness {thinking He delays His coming, while they are ignorant of presence among them working and speaking}; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief {unknown} in the night {in the darkness of men’s ignorance, in which they sleep}; in the which the {corrupt} heavens shall pass away with a great noise {His voice heard but un-comprehended}, and the elements {stoicheion – the corrupt ways and ideas of wicked men} shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.]
5 Are your days [of ignorance] as the days of man [‘enowsh – those who choose to remain dead]? are your years as man’s [geber – the mighty of the world who are ignorant of] days,
6 That you enquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
7 You know that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of your hand.
8 Your hands have made me and fashioned me together round about [from the ruin of the previous age]; yet you do destroy me [Job, God’s sleeping people who are hated in by the world, still not understanding these are the refining fires in which all realized the fall and where it has led, and will, once they see again, enshrine into maxim].
9 Remember, I beseech you, that you have made me as the clay; and will you bring me into dust again [again, God’s people in ignorance not knowing they brought themselves into this ruin, from where, when they to it awaken, He will create them anew]?
10 Have you not poured me out as milk [taught me these things that awaken me], and curdled me like cheese [bringing these ideas together into a firm foundation]?
11 You have [again] clothed me with skin and flesh, and have fenced me with bones and sinews.
12 You have granted me life and favor, and your visitation [pquddah – appearing as the Chief Overseer of the earth to restore order] has preserved [shamar – guarded and protected] my spirit.
13 And these things have you hid in your heart [in the Mind of God only]: I know that this is with you.
14 If I sin, then you mark me, and you will not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head [with pride, knowing the work correcting me is Yours]. I am full of confusion; therefore see you my affliction;
16 For it increases. You hunt me as a fierce lion: and again you show yourself marvelous upon me [opening my eyes to see You].
17 You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation upon me; changes [chaliyphah – into my new flesh] and [the necessary] war are against me [to prevail against corruption and quicken into life again those thereby exercised].
18 Wherefore then have you brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave [again].
20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
Hebrews 12
11 Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the LORD:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau [as the enemies mixed among us], who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For you know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
18 For you are not come [as the enemies have] unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel [whose blood spoke from the earth].
25 See that you refuse not him that speak. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
The other two times the word taqaph appears are in Job 15:24 and Ecclesiastes 4:12. In the first of these, it comes in words spoken by Eliphaz the Temanite, names meaning his god is gold (he serves his lust for worldly wealth) and is one of the so-called wise men of the world. He is one of Job’s three (falsely so-called) friends through whom Satan works. Their work is false accusations, with which they openly (before the eyes of a now awakened world) describe and condemn themselves (of which they are ignorant).
Job 15
1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said [as the false accusers now falsely accuse this word of God],
2 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind [and devour the work of God with His open mouth]?
3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4 Yea, you cast off [the] fear [of God], and restrain prayer [siychah – contemplation of] before [paniym – the presence of] God.
5 For your mouth utters your iniquity [evil misleading], and you choose [to follow] the tongue of the crafty [‘aruwm – the “subtlety” of the serpent in Genesis 3:1].
6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I: yea, your own lips testify against you.
7 Are you the first man that was born? or were you made before the hills?
8 Have you heard the secret of God? and do you restrain wisdom to yourself?
9 What know you, that we know not? what understand you, which is not in us?
10 With us are both the gray-headed and very aged men, much elder than your father.
11 Are the consolations of God small with you? is there any secret thing with you?
12 Why does your heart carry you away? and what do your eyes wink at,
13 That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
14 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15 Behold, he [the LORD] puts no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
16 How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinks iniquity like water?
17 I will show you, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20 The wicked man travails with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21 A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22 He believes not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
23 He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knows that the day of darkness is ready [already] at his hand.
24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail [taqaph] against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25 For he stretch out his hand against God [as Satan in these accusers is], and strengthens himself against the Almighty.
26 He run upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses [eminent places] of his bucklers [that are His shield]:
27 Because he [Satan] covers his face [paniym – presence] with his fatness [in these men’s prospering by evil], and makes collops of fat [their abundance] on [covers] his flanks.
28 And he dwells [prosperously] in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabits [where none will remain], which are ready to become heaps.
29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance [his strength, which is deception, beginning subtle and now openly] continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection [minleh – only appearing here, meaning completion; of his goal to destroy humanity by making it in his, Satan’s, image and likeness: the opposition to God’s work: it’s opposite] thereof upon the earth.
30 He shall not depart out of darkness [ignorance]; the flame [of the fires they created] shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth [the evil spirit in his words] shall he go away.
31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity [his worthless thoughts]: for vanity [worthlessness] shall be his recompense.
32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green [shall not bring any life].
33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
34 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepares [to vomit] deceit [from their mouths].
The word minleh (to this point wondered at), above in verse 29, is from an also once used word, nalah, also meaning “to complete:–make an end.” Its one appearance comes in Isaiah 33:1 as the LORD there speaks of the end of this “treachery,” from the word bagad, speaking of Satan’s work, meaning “to cover (with a garment); figuratively, to act covertly; by implication, to pillage.” This latter word refers us back to its only appearance in Job, in Job 6:15, where it’s a third witness (the word as a threefold cord – the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as one) that it’s Satan working through the false accusations of Job’s three friends, who he there also calls his brethren.
Isaiah 33
1 Woe to you that spoil, and you were not spoiled; and deal treacherously [bagad], and they dealt not treacherously [bagad] with you! when you shall cease to spoil, you shall be spoiled; and when you shall make an end [nalah] to deal treacherously [bagad], they shall deal treacherously [bagad] with you.
2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for you: be you their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble [tsarah – this tribulation].
3 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of yourself the nations were scattered.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwells on high: he has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of [deception, falsely claiming we are at] peace shall weep bitterly.
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceases: he has broken the covenant [between God and man], he has despised the cities, he regards no man.
9 The earth mourns and languishes: Lebanon [the place where purity should be seen on high] is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon [where understanding was before in plain sight] is like a wilderness; and Bashan [the fruitfulness] and Carmel [in this land that was before like a well-tended garden] shake off their fruits.
10 Now will I rise, says the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 You shall conceive chaff, you shall bring forth stubble: your breath [the evil spirit in the wicked opposing Me], as fire, shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns [these men whose power is to mislead] cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Hear, you that are far off, what I have done; and, you that are near, acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 He that walketh righteously, and speaks uprightly; he that despises the gain of oppressions, that shakes his hands from holding of bribes [I see you Brandon, and I see all your fellow extortioners], that stops his ears from hearing of blood [the false accusation meant to destroy the innocent who oppose you and your evil ilk], and [all while he] shut his eyes from seeing evil;
16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
17 Your eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
18 Your heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 You shall not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech [speaking this word of God] than you can perceive [because it is the word of God you reject]; of a stammering tongue [a foreign language, truth you don’t speak], that you can not understand.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: your eyes shall see [New Heavenly] Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
21 But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams [through which His teaching flows into the sea: the people at large]; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby [none of the corrupt and corrupting institutions of church and state now in power over the sea].
22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king [from whom these things flow]; he will save us.
23 Your tackling are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail [nec – could not bring forth the son of man, the voice now exalted, spreading the LORD’s Spirit upon all]: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
24 And the inhabitants [abiding in Him] shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
Job 6
13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me? [God’s hated people should understand they have received this help.]
14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shown from his friend [friends]; but he [they] forsake the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully [bagad – treacherously] as a brook [whose corrupt waters have flowed into the sea], and as the stream of brooks [dried up] they pass away;
16 Which are blackish [full of ignorance] by reason of the ice [the word of God frozen, reserved for this moment], and wherein the snow is hid [in the cloud where the elements of understanding were reserved after they left the earth]:
17 What time they wax warm [and the word reserved therein the snow and ice flow as waters from heaven], they [the words that flow from the wicked] vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed [dried up] out of their place.
18 The paths of their [corrupt] way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
19 The troops of Tema [the wise] looked, the companies of Sheba [who’ve taken oaths to serve the LORD] waited for them.
20 They were confounded because they had hoped [in their own creations]; they came thither, and were ashamed [disappointed because the end they promised wasn’t the true end the LORD promised].
21 For now you are nothing; you see my casting down, and are afraid.
22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 How forcible are right words! but what does your arguing reprove?
26 Do you imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
27 Yea, you overwhelm the fatherless, and you dig a pit for your friend.
28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue [speaking the word the LORD has given me]? cannot my taste discern [your] perverse things?
Ecclesiastes 4
1 So I returned [from death], and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter [no man teaching them into all truth, leading them from the dead to join me in life]; and on the side of their oppressors there was power [to deceive and hold men in death]; but they had no comforter.
2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living [who’ve already awakened to everlasting contempt, who know they are here to do the work of Satan and willingly do it] which are yet alive.
3 Yea, better is he than both they, which has not yet been [born again], who has not seen [realized] the evil work that is done under the sun.
4 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
5 The fool [not knowing this time] folds his hands together [not working with me], and [in his ignorance and sloth] eats his own flesh.
6 Better is a handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
8 There is one [alive from the dead doing the LORD’s will] alone, and there is not a second; yea, he has neither child nor brother: yet is there no end [qets] of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither says he, For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he has not another to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevails [taqaph] against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken [the LORD in me unknown, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as ONE].
13 Better is a poor [micken – only used here and three time in Ecclesiastes 9:15 & 16; meaning without worldly power, who in the end is realized to be the true king] and a wise child [yeled] than an old and foolish king [as is feeble Brandon], who will no more be admonished.
14 For out of prison [‘acar – with this yoke] he comes to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom [joined, yoked, with him] becometh poor [ruwsh – destitute of understanding].
15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child [yeled – the wise child who is sent to deliver out of the hand of the wicked] that shall stand up [‘amad – as Michael, who is the image and likeness of God] in his stead [against the wicked and feeble king].
16 There is no end [qets] of [the lives of] all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after [Solomon – in these last days of darkness: ignorance] shall not rejoice [samach – be brightened] in him [in the wise child]. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes 9
10 Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave [sheol – in hell where all the dead are housed], whither you go [and now “find” yourselves].
11 I returned [to a right mind], and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance [pega’ – occurrence, in which humanity finds itself] happens to them all [here in hell, in the death warned of in Genesis 2:17].
12 For man [‘adam] also knows not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly [pith’own – this is the epiphany, the moment of realizing the reality we find ourselves in] upon them.
13 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:
14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
15 Now there was found in it a poor [micken] wise man [‘adam], and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered [zakar] that same poor [micken] man [‘iysh].
16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor [micken] man’s wisdom is despised [among the dead], and his words are not heard [because the language of the dead is lies: deception, confusion, and insanity wherefore the dead are unable to distinguish between their delusions and this reality].
17 The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that rule among fools.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner [whose voice is exalted] destroys much good.
Fiends, the few of you who will read this far, the world doesn’t believe in God and, therefore, can’t comprehend this as reality. They will see these words as those of one using masterfully arranged creations to deceive and manipulate people, as they do with their lies and deceptions. They have no idea I Am not alone and that the Creator of all is truly alive in Me doing the work, present to save His people as promised. There is only one way this ends: with the creation of a new earth built upon the ruin of the old and corrupt.
John 8
25 Then said they unto him, Who are you? And Jesus says unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27 They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father [alive in me].
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
31 Then said Jesus to those [Christians and] Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed;
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 14
10 Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he does the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
12 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever you shall ask in my name [in my identity, manifesting My presence in you], that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you shall ask any thing in my name [in my identity], I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter [the Paraclete, I Am in me], that he may abide with you forever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him [because I Am a poor man: without worldly power]: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me [My identity now manifested in these words and works]: because I live, you shall live also.
20 At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
John 16
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb.
30 Now are we sure that you know all things, and need not that any man should ask you: by this we believe that you came forth from God.
31 Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?
32 Behold, the hour comes, yea, is now come, that you shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
1 Thessalonians 5
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the LORD so comes as a thief [unknown to the ignorant] in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety [not acknowledging the war at hand]; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child [the son of man waiting patiently until Christ is formed, born from the dead, in you]; and they shall not escape.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our LORD Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them [that it is the LORD in us doing the work] which labor among you, and are over you in the LORD, and admonish you;
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
Psalms 147
1 Praise you the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 The LORD does build up [New Heavenly] Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4 He tells the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our LORD, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The LORD lifts up the meek: he casts the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covers the heaven [full understanding] with clouds, who prepares rain [from where He sends His word giving understanding] for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains [giving life to the earth through those He exalts by His word].
9 He gives to the beast [those without His Spirit and life] his food, and to the young ravens [those covered in darkness: ignorance] which cry.
10 He delights not in the strength of the horse [those who say they can carry the burden of the world]: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the LORD, O [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [My people in whom I dwell]; praise your God, O Zion.
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.
14 He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends forth his commandment upon earth: his word runs very swiftly.
16 He gives snow like wool: he scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold [when His word remains reserved with Him at His throne]?
18 He sends out his word, and melts them [sending His word upon all]: he causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow [and His Spirit moves upon them bringing light, understanding, again to the earth].
19 He shows his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20 He has not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise you the LORD.
Psalms 137
1 By the rivers of Babylon [the waters of confusion], there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4 How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a strange land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6 If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom [the enemies mixed among us at war with us] in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it [destroy it to the ground], raze it, even to the foundation thereof.
8 O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewards you as you have served us.
9 Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones [created in your evil image and likeness] against the stones [the Rock of our Salvation].
