22 – 25 December 2023
For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
The above, Romans 9:15, comes as Paul, the LORD in him teaching, is speaking of His love for Jacob and His hatred from Esau (Edom: enemies mixed among as at war with us while calling it “peace”).
The LORD began today in Ezekiel 25, explaining the reason for His hatred of the deceivers, who, by deception, are destroying His people.
Ezekiel 25
12 Thus says the LORD God; Because that Edom has dealt against the house of Judah [the elect, the leaders of God’s people] by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them [therefore I hate them with a perfect hatred];
13 Therefore thus says the LORD God; I will also stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman [the places of their wise men]; and they of Dedan [double judgment] shall fall by the sword.
14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, says the LORD God.
Remember, Edom are children of Abraham and Isaac, but they sold their birthright and took vengeance against their brother. They mark themselves as the children (spiritual seed) of Cain by the evil spirit possessing them and resisting the LORD’s will and plan.
1 John 3
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves [agapao] not his brother [not giving these waters they need to live].
11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love [agapao] one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the [now wholly corrupt] world hates you.
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love [agapao] the brethren. He that loves [agapao] not his brother abides in death.
15 Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso has this world’s good, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his bowels of compassion [the word inside you kept back] from him, how dwells the love [agape] of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love [agapao] in word [saying we have charity], neither in tongue; but in deed [giving this word given to be given] and in truth.
19 And hereby [giving as commanded] we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him [manifesting His presence in this manner].
20 For if our heart condemn [kataginosko] us [if our mind yet resists, because in it remains the darkness of corruption], God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn [kataginosko] us not [because the darkness is removed by His knowledge], then have we confidence toward God [that He is with us as light and life in our minds].
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep [obey] his commandments, and do those things [giving as He gives] that are pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love [agapao] one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that keeps his commandments dwells in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us [which is Christ in us speaking and working out the Father’s Salvation: Jehovah’s Salvation, Jesus, Joshua, the perpetual son of Nun, to the world in need].
The LORD, through Paul, in the title verse, refers us to His description of this process (manifesting the Unseen in the seen) in the origin (Exodus 33:19) of his quote.
Exodus 33
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, you and the people which you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto your seed will I give it [now, in this day]:
2 And I will send an angel [mal’ak – My messenger] before paniym – manifesting My presence to] you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite [all who haven’t known Me, who worship evil idols that destroy the minds and bodies of men]:
3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey [My good word, that by it men know to refuse evil and choose good]: for I will not go up in the midst of you [but will veil myself in the flesh of one I have chosen]; for you are a stiff-necked people: lest I consume you in the way.
4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments [‘adiy – the bridle in their mouths, repeating the words of those who possess them].
5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people: I will come up into the midst of you in a moment, and consume you: therefore now put off your ornaments [‘adiy – the words you speak, the bridle in your mouth causing you to err] from you, that I may know what to do unto you.
6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments [‘adiy] by the mount Horeb [the words of your corrupt leaders: the cause of your desolation].
7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp [their bearing the reproach of Christ with Him], afar off [rachaq – wandering away from those ruling by evil decree] from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation [mow’ed – the LORD’s ONE BODY gathered at the appointed time He decreed]. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp. [Hebrews 13:12 Wherefore Jesus {Joshua} also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. 14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 16 But to do good and to communicate {this word} forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.]
8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar [wherein is understanding] descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses [manifesting His presence in the conversation].
10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
11 And the LORD spoke unto Moses face [paniym – manifesting His presence] to face [paniym – present in His son], as a man speaks unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua [Jehovah’s Salvation, Jesus Christ, the Rock upon which Moses is founded], the son of Nun [the perpetual son], a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
12 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, you sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, I know you by name, and you have also found grace in my sight.
13 Now therefore, I pray you, if I have found grace in your sight, show me now your way, that I may know you, that I may find grace in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people.
14 And he said, My presence [paniym] shall go with you, and I will give you rest.
15 And he said unto him, If your presence [paniym] go not with me, carry us not up hence.
16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and your people have found grace in your sight? is it not in that you go with us? so shall we be separated [from the wicked who rule over our minds and bodies], I and your people, from all the people that are upon the face of [paniym – into Your presence on] the earth.
17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that you have spoken: for you have found grace in my sight, and I know you by name.
18 And he said, I beseech you, show me your glory.
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass [‘abar – bring you from among the dead into life] before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before [paniym – manifesting My presence to] you; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
20 And he said, You can not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand upon a rock [Christ manifested in the perpetual son]:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passes by [‘abar – brings you from death to life], that I will put you in a clift [sanctuary] of the rock [in Christ], and will cover you with my hand [my work covering you] while I pass by [‘abar – bring you from death into life]:
23 And I will take away my hand [uncovering you], and you shall see my back parts [understand My presence by the complete work]: but my face [paniym – My presence which is unseen] shall not be seen.
Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertains the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God [to them] has taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall your seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls;)
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16 So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.
17 For the scripture says unto Pharaoh [as to Obama and his idiot seed], Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 Therefore has he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
19 You will say then unto me, Why does he yet find fault? For who [possessed by Satan] has resisted his will?
20 Nay but, O man, who are you that replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus? [quoted from Isaiah 45:9]
21 Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24 Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As he says also in Hosea [in Hosea 1:9 & 10], I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place [this nation] where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 Isaiah also cries [Isaiah 10:22 & 23] concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the LORD make upon the earth.
29 And as Isaiah [in Isaiah 1:9] said before, Except the LORD of Sabaoth [a man of war] had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like unto Gomorrah.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone;
33 As it is written [in Isaiah 28:16], Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling-stone and rock of offense: and whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
Isaiah 45
1 Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus [the LORD of the furnace, who walks here in it with us], whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates [out of hell into heaven]; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give you the treasures of darkness [only covered in the ignorance of the wicked] and hidden riches of secret places, that you mayest know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name [saying you are My people], am the God of Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded [prepared] you, though you have not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun [this light returning to the church], and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I form the light [understanding], and create darkness [withholding understanding from the wicked]: I make peace [showing, leading, the way into it], and create evil [the misleaders who lead the wicked into self-destruction]: I the LORD do all these things.
8 Drop down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
9 Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd [worthless clay] strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it, What make you? or your work, He has no hands?
10 Woe unto him that says unto his father, What begets you? or to the woman, What have you brought forth?
11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons [the children born by obeying My correction], and concerning the work of my hands command you me.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD of hosts.
14 Thus says the LORD, The labor of Egypt [this land of oppression], and merchandise of Ethiopia [those covered in their own darkness] and of the Sabeans [drunken with the power of darkness], men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be yours: they shall come after you; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, saying, Surely God is in you; and there is none else, there is no God.
15 Truly you are a God that hides yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 They shall be ashamed [not reaching the end they seek, which is the destruction of humanity], and also confounded [by their own insanity], all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: you shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 For thus says the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place [among the ignorant] of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek you me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are [plain and] right.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Tell you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? who has told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me, and be you saved, all the ends [ending the old and beginning the new] of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
Hosea 1
2 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea [as we know, this name means deliverer or savior, and was Joshua’s name before Moses renamed him {adding Jehovah}]. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto you a wife of whoredoms [God’s people estranged from Him] and children of whoredoms: for the land [‘erets – the earth] has committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD.
3 So he went and took Gomer [completing] the daughter of Diblaim [two kingdoms, with him pressed together as one]; which conceived, and bare him a son.
4 And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel [God has sown]; for yet a little while, and I will avenge [paqad – visit as the Chief Overseer of the earth] the blood of [the life drained from] Jezreel upon the house of Jehu [the whole body of Christ], and will cause to cease the [the separated] kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel [the seed, of spiritual Israel, God sows into this nation He makes His people].
6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah [without mercy]: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away [beyond Babylon, into this time of insanity].
7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah [the elect remnant first], and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen [but by My Almighty Spirit speaking and working among them unknown].
8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah [Judah, who no man showed mercy], she conceived, and bare a son.
9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi [not My people – humanity at large, dead and in hell]: for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place [here in hell] where it was said unto them, You are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, You are [by His correction, His light and life, become] the sons of the living God.
11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together [into My ONE BODY with Me], and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
The name Jezreel, as previously discussed, is from the words zara’ (meaning to sow) and ‘el (God), both of which (name and word) appear one final time. This comes in the following chapter (Hosea 2:22 & 23) as we’re told they (the now ONE BODY) are heard in heaven and earth, their voices the fruit from the seed the LORD has sown.
Hosea 2
13 And I will visit [paqad – I have come as the Chief Overseer of the earth] upon her the days of Baalim [the fruit of their unfaithfulness, following the gods of this corrupt world into death and hell], wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me, says the LORD.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness [this time of desolation], and speak comfortably unto her [leading her into all truth as I have].
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor [troubles, the current tribulation] for a door of hope: and she shall sing there [these words I’ve taught her to be repeated], as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt [delivering her again from the hand of her oppressors].
16 And it shall be at that day, says the LORD, that you shall call me Ishi [a man {of war}]; and shall call me no more Baali [lord, as you call your idols you created].
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim [the gods of this world] out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle [the weapon of war] out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely [sustainable peace, which is My way].
19 And I will betroth you unto me forever; yea, I will betroth you unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 I will even betroth you unto me in faithfulness: and you shall know the LORD [Jehovah].
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, says the LORD, I will hear the heavens [the understanding from your mouths], and they shall hear [be heard in] the earth;
22 And the earth shall hear the [fruit of your lips, the] corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel [this word shall be heard from those the LORD has sown in the earth].
23 And I will sow [zara’] her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, You are my people; and they shall say, You are my God.
1 Peter 5
1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre [corrupt greed], but of a ready mind;
3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that fades not away.
5 Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Isaiah 10
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption [killayown – only here and Deuteronomy 28:65 where it is a “falling” eye, as in what these men say they’ve seen, as in Zachariah 14:12] decreed [charats] shall overflow with righteousness.
23 For the LORD God of hosts shall make a consumption [kalah – a full end], even determined [charats], in the midst of all the land.
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, O my people that dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian [communists in power]: he shall smite you with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt [as tyrants oppressing all God’s people].
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation [za’am] shall cease, and my anger in their destruction.
26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge [showt] for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb [those who trust in their cover of darkness – against who the LORD calls His people as light, mustering them to the battle and final destruction of these enemies among us]: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt [and the sea, God’s people at large, will come together again and overthrow them].
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing [of the King].
Daniel 9
24 Seventy weeks are determined [to complete the desolation] upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end [chatham] of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up [chatham] the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
The word chatham is meant to refer us to its other uses below. As we know, in Daniel 12, it’s the word of God “sealed” until this time of the end (qets). “And many of them that sleep in the dust [ruin] of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine [understanding] as the brightness of the firmament [this exposition]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.”
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 falls upon men, in slumbering upon the bed;
16 Then he opens the ears of men, and seals [chatham] 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, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20 So that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty meat.
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Yea, his soul draws near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
23 If there be a messenger [mal’ak – an angel to manifest His presence] with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness:
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favorable unto him: and he shall see his face [paniym – His presence] 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, and his life shall see the light [understanding].
29 Lo, all these things works God oftentimes with man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
Job 37
2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4 After it a voice roars: he thunders with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 For he says to the snow [his word that was frozen in heaven, reserved for this time of war], Be you on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
7 He seals [chatham] up the hand of every man; that all men may know His work.
Isaiah 8
12 Say you not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them [that are confederate with the communists in power] shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal [chatham] the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides his face [paniym – His presence] from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts [a man of war], which dwells in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits [of the known dead], and unto wizards [so-called experts] that peep, and that mutter [the ways of insanity and death]: should not a people seek unto their God? [should they be looking] for the living to the dead?
20 [shouldn’t they be looking] To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light [understanding, which is life] in them.
Isaiah 1
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? says the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15 And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yea, when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If you be willing and obedient [shama’], you shall eat the good of the land:
20 But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword [this word of God you refuse]: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
21 How is the faithful city become a harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim [God’s people in this generation], whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat [shemem – which is the LORD’s anointing when they are brought down] valleys of them that are overcome with wine [and are thereby unaware of it coming]!
2 Behold, the LORD [‘Adonay – the King of kings] has a mighty and strong one [‘ammiyts – a five-time used word, only appearing one other time in Isaiah; Isaiah 40:26 saying, “Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calls them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong {‘ammiyts} in power; not one fails.”], which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing [see verse 21 below, which brings calm to the sea], shall cast down [nuwach – bring rest] to the earth with the hand.
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet [as if by great hailstones from heaven]:
4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat [shemem – when their mocking {blashemy} proclaims the King, when they are brought down by their own ignorance] valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looks upon it sees, while it is yet in his hand he eats it up.
5 In that day shall the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts [manifested in His man of war] be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem [tsphiyrah – a crowning as the mourning] of beauty, unto the residue [sh’ar – the elect remnant spoken of in Isaiah 10] of his people,
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine [shmuw’ah – hearing the voice of Jehovah – the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26]? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts [who now draw from the Ancient of days].
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak [truth they don’t understand] to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest [mnuwchah – resting place, in heaven, in the LORD’s presence, in full understanding] wherewith you may cause the weary to rest [nuwach – noah, the rest at the end reached]; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 But the word of the LORD [Jehovah] was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD [Jehovah], you scornful men [mockers and blasphemers vilifying this word and work of God: in and through the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost the world doesn’t know], that [without justice] rule this people which is in [New Heavenly] Jerusalem.
15 Because you have [ignorantly] said, We have made a covenant with death [maveth], and with hell [sheol – the habitation of the dead] are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus says the LORD GOD [‘Adonay Jehovih – KING of kings and LORD of lords], Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death [maveth] shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell [sheol] shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – the sound doctrine, teaching, and the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26, which is the voice of Jehovah heard].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a [sleeping] man can stretch himself on it: and the covering [the lies and falsehoods under which they hide is] narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 For the LORD [Jehovah] shall rise up as in mount Perazim [2 Samuel 5:20 – as water from His throne, breaking forth upon His and David’s enemies], he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon [Joshua 10:10 & 11 – His word reserved {frozen} in heaven, sent as great hailstones upon the wicked: the current corrupt crop sitting in power], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange [known to no one except Him] act.
22 Now therefore be you not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD GOD [‘Adonay Jehovih – KING of kings and LORD of lords], of hosts [a man of war and Commander, Chief, of the armies of heaven] a consumption [kalah – a full end, as in Daniel 9:27], even determined [charats – decreed, as in Joshua 10:21 saying “And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua {Jesus} at Makkedah {as one flock under one shepherd} in peace: none moved {charats} his tongue against any of the children of Israel.” And 2 Samiel 5:24, the LORD there saying to David, “And let it be, when you hear {shama’ – obey} the sound {qowl – the voice} of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees {baka’, from which comes bkowr – telling us this is the voice of the “firstborn”}, that then you shall bestir yourself: for then shall the LORD go out before {paniym – His presence will be manifested with, in} you, to smite the host of the Philistines {the enemy army now mixed among you}.”] upon the whole earth.
23 Give you ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
As we know, the scourge mentioned above is from the eleven times used word showt, which only appears one other time in Isaiah, in Isaiah 10:26 above, telling us it’s the end of the LORD’s indignation, in the destruction of the wicked. It’s when, against Midian, all God’s people are called together to destroy this existential threat.
Psalms 20
1 The LORD [will] hear you in the day of trouble [tsarah – the tribulation]; the name [identity] of the God of Jacob [will] defend you;
2 [He will] Send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;
3 [He will] Remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice [the words from your mouths]; Selah.
4 [He will] Grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your counsel.
5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name [identity] of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD [will] fulfill all your petitions.
6 Now know I that the LORD saves his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name [identity] of the LORD our God.
8 They [the wicked] are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
Psalms 89
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of your throne: mercy and truth shall go before your face [paniym – manifesting Your presence].
15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound [of Your voice]: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance [paniym – understanding Your presence].
16 In your name [identity] shall they rejoice all the day: and in your righteousness shall they be exalted.
17 For you are the glory of their strength: and in your favor, our horn shall be exalted.
18 For the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19 Then you spoke in vision to your holy one, and said, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
21 With whom my hand shall be established: my arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name [identity] shall his horn [power to rule] be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26 He shall cry unto me, You are my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 Also I will make him my firstborn [bkowr], higher than the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established forever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
