11 – 13 December 2023
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, Now, you son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
The LORD begins today, in Ezekiel 27:1 & 2 above, through Ezekiel speaking against Tyrus, a name explicitly describing the powers (in which) the world now trusts. This misplaced trust harkens back to our many discussions of the most vulnerable among this generation: those who’ve been lured (groomed or cultivated) into relying on (trusting) government and, thereby, become unable to provide for themselves. They find themselves helplessly trapped once it becomes corrupt, feckless, and morally impoverished (as now) through gross bloating (parasitic and swelled with pride in its success propagating deception).
Isaiah 30
1Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
7 For the Egyptians [the oppressors, the tyrants, tyrus, governments now ruling the world] shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to [cause all to] sit still.
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore, this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus says the LORD God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.
16 But you said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall you flee [see Deuteronomy 32:31 below – when their rock has sold them]: till you be left as a beacon [a light shining] upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign [nec – the son of man lifted, so the LORD’s voice heard is exalted above all others] on a hill [the place of His still small voice, the small government in obscurity, from the where the LORD rules].
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: you shall weep no more: he will be very gracious unto you at the voice of your cry [your voice heard speaking according to His word]; when he shall hear it, he will answer you.
20 And though the LORD give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers:
21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
Ezekiel 27 goes on to tell of the merchants of the now wholly corrupt world: governments, as false rocks (from tsuwr, the origin of the name Tyrus), to which all (except the very elect remnant) have sold themselves (trading liberty for security, and, with their soul, losing both).
Matthew 16
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples [the teacher to His students], If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me [not turning to the right or left].
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Truly I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Woe to those who’ve enlarged (swelled) themselves by selling that which isn’t theirs to sell (‘abtiyt – see the previous post).
Ezekiel 27
3 And say unto Tyrus [false rock in who humanity puts their trust], O you that are situated at the entry of the sea [waters of your corrupt river that flow, like Jordan, into the dead sea: humanity], which are a merchant of the people for many isles [selling all people into the hand of those without this word, and thereby without the LORD’s Spirit leading them], Thus says the LORD God; O Tyrus [false rock, who’ve sold what isn’t yours to sell], you have said, I am of perfect [kaliyl – complete] beauty.
4 Your borders [gbuwl – your ends] are in the midst of the seas, your builders [the same men who rejected the rock laid by the LORD] have perfected [kalal – completed] your beauty.
The word “beauty” in both above verses is yophiy, from the word yaphah, meaning “to be bright,” which here speaks of outward understanding: superficial, without depth.
Matthew 6
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth [as do these evil merchants], where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light [understanding] of the body is the eye [that sees as God sees]: if therefore your eye be single [one with the LORD], your whole body shall be full of light [understanding].
23 But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness [ignorance]. If therefore the light [superficial understanding] that is in you be darkness [ignorance], how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [what the ignorant world calls valuable].
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air [those who, here with the LORD, by His eye, rise into full understanding]: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father [the true Rock, in whom we trust] feeds them. Are you not much better than they [gathering what the LORD gives]?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek [and sell their souls for]:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
33 But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
This final verse is grossly misinterpreted. The phrase “take no though for,” appearing six times in the above passage, is from the Greek word merimnao, meaning “to be anxious about.”
The first time the phrase (“take therefore no thought”) appears (in verse 34), it’s from the Greek word me, meaning adding to or also. In the same verse, the words “the things of” don’t appear in the original text. The subject is from the previous verse, speaking of things added after seeking God’s kingdom. It should then read, “also of morrow, for the morrow will be anxious of itself.”
The word then rendered “sufficient” is the three times used Greek word arketos, said to be from arkeo, meaning “apparently a primary verb (but probably akin to 142 through the idea of raising a barrier); properly, to ward off, i.e. (by implication) to avail (figuratively, be satisfactory).”
The “apparent” meaning and attribution is lacking. The ar portion of the word (arketos) is from airo (142), meaning “to lift up; by implication, to take up or away; figuratively, to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind), specially, to sail away (i.e. weigh anchor); by Hebraism (compare 5375) to expiate sin.”
The Greek word ketos only appears once, in Matthew 12:40, where it’s rendered “whale’s” belly, speaking of hell where the LORD says He, like Jonah, would be (three days and nights in the belly of the earth). As we know, it (ketos) is defined by its origin in the once-used Greek word chasma, the word in Luke 16:26 rendered “gulf,” the impassable space between heaven and hell.
The word chasma means “(to “gape” or “yawn”); a “chasm” or vacancy (impassable interval);” speaking of the words of evil men, like dragons (tanniyn – serpents and whales devouring with their always wide-open mouths, and swallow men into the belly of hell, the belly of the earth).
It (arketos), in Matthew 6:34, speaks of the morrow that is anxious of itself, as the chasma taking itself away in that day: meaning, men’s ever-open mouths devouring them into the hell they’ve created, and from where we (those disregarding their words) rise.
Ezekiel 27
34 In the time when you shall be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters [the deep understand in this word of God revealed to] your merchandise and all your company in the midst of you shall fall.
35 All the inhabitants of the isles [the places that have been without this good advice] shall be astonished at you, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance.
36 The merchants [anxious about the morrow, what has come upon them] among the people [in the sea] shall hiss at [draw attention to] you; you shall be a terror, and never shall be any more.
Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah [the dove, the sign of the end reached] prayed unto [conversed with] the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly [the belly of hell, where the words of man, the source of the agitation below the surface of the sea, swallowed him into the belly of the earth, unseen during this interval],
2 And said, I cried by reason of my affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell [sheol] cried I, and you heard my voice.
3 For you had cast me into the [darkened] deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods [of evil men] compassed me about: all your billows and your waves [men’s pride] passed over me.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me forever: yet have you brought up my life from [men’s] corruption, O LORD my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto you, into your holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto you with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [shalam – reciprocate] that that I have vowed [to obey Your commands and speak Your word]. Salvation is of the LORD.
10 And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah [the sign of the end – calling all to repentance, which is the LORD’s will, long-suffering, not willing that any should perish] upon the dry land [where the word of the LORD isn’t heard].
In the above, Jonah depicts those reaching the promised and expected end, coming from the belly of hell, after his soul fainted and remembered (zakar) the LORD, Who, from there, brought (bought) him up from corruption.
The word rendered “fainted,” speaking of his inner self, remembering his immortal soul, (speaking of his realization in hell) is ‘ataph, meaning “to shroud, i.e. clothe (whether transitive or reflex.); hence (from the idea of darkness) to languish.” The meaning speaks of the “corruption” of his mind (the prison bars of the earth), the darkness of ignorance of self and of the LORD, from where, as now, He raises us to life.
The word (in Jonah 2:6) rendered “corruption” is shachath, meaning “a pit (especially as a trap); figuratively, destruction:–corruption, destruction, ditch, grave, pit.” It appears five times in Job 33, as Elihu (He is God unknown speaking, as if from a whirlwind), rendered both “pit” and “grave,” speaking of the corruption that holds men there, in ignorance of their immortal self; truth hidden with the LORD when they forget.
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 [bring the dead to life, from hell and its corruption].
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man 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 [the epiphany – the flash of light in the eye, seeing as the LORD sees], at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [seeing as the LORD sees].
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 [not understood].
57 But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ [who gives us understanding, which is life to the dead].
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the LORD [repeating this word of life, as is Jonah’s sacrifice, the reciprocating {shalam} because of thankfulness of being raised], forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the LORD.
Job 33
13 Why do you strive against him? for he gives not account of any of his matters.
14 For God speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep [of death] falls upon men, in slumbering upon the bed;
16 Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit [shachath – corruption], and his life from perishing by the sword [their lack of understanding it is Him speaking].
19 He is chastened [corrected] also with pain [of his own ignorance] upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20 So that his life abhors bread [the word from the mouth of God], and his soul [not knowing himself, ignorant that he is rejecting] dainty [ta’avah – the longed for] meat [deep understanding that returns strength, vigor, to the weak].
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out [his inner self appears into open sight].
22 Yea, his soul draws near unto the grave [shachath], and his life to the destroyers [muwth – into death].
23 If there be a messenger [mal’ak – the archangel, whose voice is the trumpet of the light returned] with him, an interpreter [luwts – a teacher willingly suffering the scorn of the ignorant], one among a thousand, to show unto man his [his LORD’s] uprightness:
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit [shachath – the hell into which they have fallen]: I have found a ransom [willing to pay the price to cover them in his LORD’s righteousness].
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26 He shall pray [‘athar – only appears after this in Isaiah 19:22] unto God [as Jonah did], and he will be favorable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
27 He looks upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit [shachath], and his life shall see the light [understanding that will change their minds].
29 Lo, all these things works God oftentimes with man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit [shachath – from corruption], to be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Mark well, O Job [God’s hated people, who are still in rebellion against His will to save even the wicked who repent], hearken [shama’ – obey] unto me: hold your peace, and I will speak [through you].
32 If you have anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 If not, hearken [shama’ – obey] unto me: hold your peace, and I shall teach you wisdom.
Isaiah 19
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rides upon a swift cloud [with full understanding], and shall come into Egypt [this land under tyrants]: and the idols [the false gods they worship] of Egypt shall be moved at his [the LORD’s] presence [paniym], and the heart [the corrupt elements, the foundation of their minds] of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians [as the LORD speaks of, when the morrow is anxious against itself]: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols [the gods of this world, whose advice is destroying the world], and to the charmers [who claim they are peacemakers, when their ways are at war against the truth], and to them that have familiar spirits [the known dead speaking ways we know lead to death], and to the wizards [the falsely so-called experts of this world].
4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord [‘adown – a king over the earth – speaking of Obama and his idiot son Brandon]; and a fierce [‘az – referring to its use in Isaiah 56:11 where they are “greedy” dogs which can never have enough] king shall rule over them, says the LORD [‘adown – the King of kings], the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts.
5 And the waters shall [the words of these tyrants] fail [nashath – referring to its other two uses, in Isaiah 41:17 and Jeremiah 51:30] from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up. [Isaiah 41:17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue {of Tyrus} fails {nashath} for thirst {because the people are seeking good advice and not evil}, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. 18 I will open rivers {of these life-giving waters} in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. And Jeremiah 51:29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon {the confusion by which these tyrants rule}, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant. 30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might has failed {nashath}; they became as women: they have burned her dwelling-places; her bars are broken. 31 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end, 32 And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.]
6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defense shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags [what has grown in the mire of these corrupt waters] shall wither.
7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle [to trap and devour souls] into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon [paniym – in the LORD’s presence] the waters shall languish.
9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks [of evil], shall be confounded [snared in their own traps].
10 And they shall be broken in the [evil] purposes thereof, all that make sluices [controlling information] and ponds [keeping it from flowing] for fish.
11 Surely the princes of Zoan [those who’ve departed from truth] are fools, the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh is become brutish [telling known lies]: how say you unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 Where are they? where are your wise men? and let them tell you now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts [a man of war] has purposed upon Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph [those who present lies] are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt [the land ruled by these tyrants], even they [the liers {liars – wake up sleepers} and the deceived] that are the stay [the false rock] of the tribes thereof.
14 The LORD has mingled a perverse [twisted] spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof [as it is this day, here in this nation], as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do. [referring to Isaiah 9:14 – 16, saying “Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush {what has grown from these men’s evil leading}, in one day. The ancient and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.”]
16 In that day [this time when light has come] shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the [paniym – in the LORD’s presence] shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shakes over it.
17 And the land of Judah [the elect remnant speaking the word of the LORD, shaking heaven and earth, to shake the wicked from them] shall be a terror unto Egypt [all the oppressors], every one that makes mention thereof [speaking their evil words and ways] shall be afraid in himself [oppressor against oppressor], because of the [paniym – the LORD’s presence giving] counsel of the LORD of hosts [a man of war], which he has determined against it.
18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan [as the land taken for God’s people, by His power to change minds], and swear to the LORD of hosts [a man of war]; one shall be called, The city of destruction [from the once used word herec, from harac, referring us to its uses in Isaiah 22:19 & 49:17]. [Isaiah 22:19 And I will drive you from your station {the places where you stand against the LORD}, and from your state {of hubris} shall he pull you down {harac}. 20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim {who God raises} the son of Hilkiah {Jehovah is my inheritance}: 21 And I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your girdle {your preparation}, and I will commit your government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. 22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open {the gates of hell}, and none shall shut; and he shall shut {the wicked in the hell where they choose to remain}, and none shall open. 23 And I will fasten him {that can be relied on} as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house. And Isaiah 49:17 Your children shall make haste; your destroyers {harac} and they that made you waste shall go forth of you.]
19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar [one stationed] at the border [gbuwl – at the limit, at the appointed time, the mow’ed] thereof to the LORD.
20 And it [the pillar at the border] shall be for a sign [‘owth] and for a witness [‘ed] unto the LORD of hosts [a man of war] in the land of Egypt [the earth under these oppressors]: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of [paniym – to manifest His presence against] the oppressors, and he shall send them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver [natsal – same as harpazo, “caught up,” “pulled”] them [from the fires of hell].
21 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day [this time of light], and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it [shalam – “pay” it, as did Jonah].
22 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated [‘athar] of them, and shall heal them.
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt [oppression] to [for those who were communists] Assyria, and the Assyrian [the former communists, whose minds are changed] shall come into Egypt [this land, earth, that was before rule by oppression], and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve [the LORD] with the Assyrians.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land [‘erets – the earth]:
25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands [whose minds are changed], and Israel my inheritance [all now changed, as 1 Corinthians 15:51 & 52].
Isaiah 56
1 Thus says the LORD, Keep you judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that does this, and the son of man that lays hold on it; that keeps the sabbath [these interruptions that bring you back from turning to the right or left] from polluting it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that has joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD has utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For thus says the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 Even unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters [of the flesh]: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keeps the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer [where they join me in this conversation, above my mercy seat, where My presence in manifested therein]: their burnt offerings and their [voices of] sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.
8 The LORD God, which gathers the outcasts of Israel says, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all you beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind [self-proclaimed experts in everything]: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they [not knowing the darkness] cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy [‘az] dogs [returning to their own vomit] which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Come you, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant [not knowing today is the day].
Suffer me again as I speak to this last verse: Yesterday, I heard two of the more prominent right-wing analysts (who present their opinions as fact, self-proclaimed experts in everything – Jones and Posobiec) prophesying of the future. They then, while presenting their opinions as fact, spoke about the second coming of Christ, truthfully saying the event is what ends the battle in victory. They said the LORD never told us the day, and no man knows it except the Father. Their error is declaring it’s not today (but sometime in the distant future), not this present moment, and (opposing themselves) saying “they know” it’s not today. This ignorance is the enemy I alone am sent to fight; the darkness of those blinding all to His forever presence. Without this recognition and declaration, the battle is a continuing stalemate in which the enemy remains in power. These types should stay in their lane and stay out of mine. If they doubt and deny, and I don’t, am I evil and you good because I tell you the truth? I know, without doubt, the LORD is alive and present in me: Jehovah’s Salvation, the same, yesterday, today, and forever.
2 Timothy 2
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory [when He is revealed in them as He is in me].
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not, yet he abides faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the LORD that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as does a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus [those who forbid your Joining with the LORD, in His ONE BODY, one flesh, as His only son, and forbidding this they hide behind the spurious mask of caring for your soul];
18 Who concerning the truth have erred [astocheo], saying that the resurrection is past already [the resurrection comes when you are freed from the lies of the false prophets and false teachers whose words and ways have carried humanity into death and hell]; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation [I Am] of God stands sure, having this seal, The LORD knows them that are his. And, let every one that names the name of Christ depart from [purge out, incise, exercise, work out of yourself] iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these [the vessels of dishonor, in which remains the scum], he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified [made holy], and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the LORD out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife [the way of the wicked, argument, continuously questioning with known lies and false accusation, intended to produce endless confusion].
24 And the servant of the LORD must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil [endless questioning, using lies and false accusation, even when known to be such – with intention, leading captive silly women who are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth], who are taken captive by him at his will.
2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days [of darkness] perilous times shall come [as they have now come].
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses [against him casting down rods which turned to serpents, which Aaron’s rod, turned into a serpent, ate] so do these also resist [satan] the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith [false prophets with not a word of God in them, speaking their own words against the son of man God sent to free His people from this oppression].
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the LORD delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them;
15 And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works [which is the good fight we fight].
2 Timothy 4
1 I charge you therefore before God, and the LORD Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch you in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.
Hebrews 12
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. 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 [the place of full understanding]:
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.
1 Corinthians 15
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
24 Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under [hupotasso – are subject to] him, it is manifest that he is excepted [ektos – the Father is realized “outside” of him, by those who become subject to the son], which did put all things under [hupotasso] him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued [hupotasso] unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject [hupotasso] unto him that put all things under [hupotasso] him, that God may be all in all.
33 Be not deceived [planao – be not led astray]: evil communications [homilia, – only here, meaning acquiescing to evil consensus] corrupt good manners [evil words are the corruption of better ethos].
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame [not knowing the LORD because of the corruption of evil communication].
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
38 But God gives it [man] a body as it has pleased him, and to every seed his own [new human flesh] body.
1 Thessalonians 2
10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children,
12 That you would walk worthy of God, who has called you unto [to enter] his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe.
14 For you, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews [all who now think themselves the “true believers,” who stand apart from the LORD, saying they are holier than Him]:
15 Who both killed the LORD Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles [all that haven’t really known the LORD, who worship idols men made, put in His place, and call by His name] that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan [working through these wicked men] hindered us.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For you are our glory and joy.
Hebrews 10
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest [into the LORD’s presence, in this conversation above His mercy seat] by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated [enitiated, being the first to enter in this way] for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh [Him seen alive from the dead, as in mine]; [Hebrews 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.]
21 And having a high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [episunagoge – a complete collection, only used elsewhere in 2 Thessalonians 2:1, speaking of “the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together {episunagoge} unto him”], as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching [that has now come].
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified [declared holy by the Father], an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace [the LORD’s gift here given]?
30 For we know him that has said [in Deuteronomy 32:35 & 36], Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Hebrews 13
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness [not meant to deceive men into following you, your ways, and your ideas]; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
6 So that we may boldly say, The LORD is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats [the works of dead flesh], which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
Psalms 112
1 Praise you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly in [obeying] his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures forever.
4 Unto the upright there arises light [understanding] in the darkness [this time of ignorance]: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man shows favor, and lends [gives this word of God, that remains His, but can be used as long as we keep it from corruption]: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely, he [who has His light] shall not be moved forever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies.
9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O you heavens [places where understanding should be], and I will speak; and hear [shama’ – obey], O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Because I will publish the name [the identity] of the Lord [to all the world that doesn’t know His presence]: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock [tsuwr – from Whom this word flows], his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They [all] have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do you thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he your father that has [paid this price and] bought you? has he not made you [His new creation], and established you [as His people, children who haven’t known Him]?
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end [‘achariyth – this time of which all are ignorant, even as it consumes them]!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their rock [tsuwr] had sold them [the LORD letting the consequences of their choices return upon them, the trial in and from which man is again created], and the LORD had shut them up?
31 For their rock [tsuwr – the false Christs men followed into destruction] is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons [tanniym – as serpents and whales with open mouths devouring men and swallowing them into the belly of hell], and the cruel venom of asps [their words are the poisonous fruit that destroy the minds of those who consume them].
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures [this understanding reserved for this moment, this time of war, because there is no peace when the wicked are in power]?
35 To me belongs vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left [alive with understanding].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock [the false Christs] in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings [putting themselves in God’s place]? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever [dwelling in whomever I choose].
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O you nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands [His law] asunder, and cast away their cords [that bind us] from us.
4 He that sit in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision [as it is this day, they have no idea what they are in or how to get out].
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O you kings: be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
