30 January – 2 February 2024 PART 1 OF 2
Though they dig into hell, thence shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
The above, Amos 9:2, speaks of those mentioned in the verse before and the closing verses of the previous chapter. It says they worked to find hell (Sheol, the habitation of the dead), and the LORD’s work, against which they war, will take them (away) there in this flood and fire. These (flood and fire) are the words of men saying they have understanding (by their own wisdom, thinking they are climbing into heaven, as in Babble, speaking confusion, scattering the world), which is now revealed to be the way of death, which takes them (down) into the hell they dig, from where they will not escape.
Amos 8
1 Thus has the LORD God shown unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos [whose words men say are a burden, and, therefore, assign them little value], what see you? And I said, A basket of summer fruit [of the harvest: reaching the result of men’s work, their words by which we know them to be good or evil]. Then said the LORD unto me, The end [qets – of time, at the border between heaven and hell] is come upon my people of Israel [the people of His promised rescue, from their enemies, when we “possess their gates;” See Genesis 22:17]; I will not again pass by them any more [‘abar – this is the final Passover, at the judgment seat, which Is His mercy seat for those who receive Him, His correction by measure, His just balance].
3 And the songs of the temple [the word they repeat, by which they are judged] shall be howling in that day, says the LORD God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them [the know dead speaking the ways into death] forth with silence. [Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers {whose words are poison}, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.]
4 Hear this, O you that [with your evil words] swallow up the needy [you thereby made ignorant], even to make the poor [without power] of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon [this darkness covering the earth] be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath [the LORD’s interruption of men’s work], that we may set forth wheat [returning to your same old corrupt and worthless ways, by which you turn men into merchandise], making the ephah [equal justice] small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances [justice] by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The LORD has sworn by the excellency of Jacob [this refers us to Psalms 47:4, the complete Psalms saying: 1 O clap your hands, all you people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. 2 For the LORD Most High is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. 3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. 4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. 5 God is gone up {is exalted, risen into heaven} with a shout {of His archangel}, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. 7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing you praises with understanding. 8 God reigns over the heathen: God sits upon the throne of his holiness. 9 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.], Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD God, that I will cause the sun [the corrupt church] to go down [into Sheol] at noon [when the LORD, His light risen, is exalted to the highest place over the earth], and I will darken the earth [reveal the ignorance and delusion that now rules it] in the clear day [when all is plainly seen and understood]:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11 Behold, the days come, says the LORD God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD [as it is this day]:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea [generation to generation], and from the north even to the east [searching the places of darkness and where light should come from], they shall run to and fro [searching all the earth] to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it [because they look to the dead for the living, where I Am never found].
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst [My people without this word of the LORD they call a burden, in which they put no value].
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria [the places where they put idols in God’s place and call them by His name], and say, Your god, O Dan [where judgment should be found], lives; and, The manner of Beersheba [the seven wells, where God’s pure word is now totally corrupt] lives; even they [these golden calves] shall fall, and never rise up again.
Amos 9
1 I saw the LORD standing upon the altar [standing in this time of His necessary sacrifice, in the flesh body He has prepared for Himself]: and he said, Smite the lintel [kaphtor – the capital, the heads of the pillars] of the door [caph – those posted at the gate, as bowls into which the blood of this sacrifice is poured], that the posts may shake [ra’ash – this is the shaking of heaven and earth spoken of in Haggai 2:6 & 7, which is quoted in Hebrews 12:26, telling us it is so the created things of men, which shall not remain, are shaken from them]: and cut them in the head [ending the creations of their minds, beginning the new heaven and earth, wherein dwell righteousness], all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword [from My mouth, speaking the Word of God]: he that flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered.
The words kaphtor and caph above next appear in Zephaniah 2:14, and only the latter is used after, in Zechariah 12:2.
Zephaniah 2
1 Gather yourselves together [into the sanctuary of My ONE BODY], yea, gather together [with My One Mind], O nation not desired [My hated people who haven’t recognized My presence];
2 Before the decree [choq – the decreed appointed time, the decree of Psalms 2:7, the passage saying, 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree {choq}: the LORD has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten {yalad} 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.] bring forth [yalad – referring to Isaiah 66:7 – 9, saying: 5 Hear the word of the LORD, you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. 6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompence to his enemies. 7 Before she travailed, she brought forth {yalad}; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. 8 Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth {chuwl – be shaken} in one day? or shall a nation be born {yalad} at once? for as soon as Zion travailed {chuwl – was shaken}, she brought forth {yalad} her children. 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth {yalad}? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth {yalad}, and shut the womb? says your God.], [bring forth] before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD’s anger come upon you.]
3 Seek you the LORD, all you meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be you shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger.
4 For Gaza [the strong, who aren’t meek, and seek to destroy] shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon [in the trial of this fire] a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod [the powerful, sitting in power] at the noon day [when this light, understanding, is exalted above all other voices], and Ekron [choosing eradication in the fires] shall be rooted up.
5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast [the end of this evil generation, the limit of their darkness], the nation of the Cherethites [the executioners, the depopulationists seeking to kill off 87.5% {7 of every 8 people} of this generation]! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan [the degenerates who think these evil thoughts], the land of the Philistines [who have brought their invading army of strangers among us as their means], I will even destroy you, that there shall be no inhabitant.
6 And the sea coast [the new beginning that follows the end of darkness] shall be dwellings and cottages for [good] shepherds, and folds [gderah] for flocks. [gderah, refers to its use in Nahum 3:17, the passage saying: 17 Your crowned are as the locusts {seeking to devour all life}, and your captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges {gderah – among the fold} in the cold day, but when the sun {this understanding} arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are. 18 Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria {the communists}: your nobles shall dwell in the dust {the ashes of the earth they ruined}: your people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathers them.]
7 And the coast [this new heaven and earth, built upon the ruin of the old] shall be for the [elect] remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon [that remain after the shaking in the trial by fire] shall they lie down in the evening [at the end of the days of darkness]: for the LORD their God shall visit them [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth, and shall return truth and justice to reign in the earth], and turn away their captivity [in death and hell].
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab [the words of men: the gates of hell holding this generation therein], and the reviling of the children of Ammon [those who’ve scattered God’s people], whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border [bringing in their invading army].
9 Therefore as I live, says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab [gates of hell] shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon [revilers] as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles [misleaders, strangers among us a thorns in our sides and pricks in our eyes]], and salt-pits [digging for what will dissolve in these waters], and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the [elect] remnant of my people shall possess them [as the LORD promised Abraham – again, see Genesis 22:17, the passage saying: 7 That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed my voice.].
10 This shall they [the enemies of the LORD] have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts [a man of war].
11 The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen [the places without this word of God, who, therefore, haven’t known Him].
12 You Ethiopians [covered in darkness, ignorance] also, you shall be slain by my sword [this word from My mouth].
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north [the places of darkness, keeping the world ignorant], and destroy Assyria [the communists]; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry [removing their words of darkness] like a wilderness.
14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels [kaphtor – the capital, the heads of the pillars] of it; their voice shall sing in the windows [receiving and repeating these word as they see this is the LORD coming]; desolation shall be in the thresholds [caph – those posted at the gate, as bowls into which the blood of this sacrifice is poured]; for he shall uncover the cedar work [the works of men, evil creations which were before hidden].
15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts [without My Spirit] to lie down in [death and hell]! every one that passes by her [‘abar – rises out of her, from death into life] shall hiss, and wag his hand [in disapproval, drawing attention to her wickedness that was before hidden].
Matthew 12
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
The name Nineveh leads us to the three times used Hebrew word niyn (meaning progeny), from the once-used word nuwn, meaning “to resprout, i.e. propagate by shoots; figuratively, to be perpetual.” As previously discussed, the proper name Nun (Nuwn) is of the father of Oshea (salvation or deliverer), whom Moses called Joshua (Jehovah’s Salvation). Joshua (Jesus – Jehovah’s Salvation personified) is the name (identifier) of the perpetual son in whom Jehovah is manifested saving His people. In this context, in the above verse, the LORD’s people are identified by the name Nineveh, the dwelling place of the perpetual children of God (children of the Most High {‘elyown}), who rise in judgment in this last generation (the last of the old which becomes the first of the new).
The above definition is depicted in Psalms 72 where the word nuwn appears in verse 17.
Psalms 72
1 Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 He shall judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgment.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear you as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endures.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 His name shall endure forever: his name shall be continued [nuwn] as long [paniym – Jehovah’s perpetual presence in the king’s son] as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name forever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
Friends, all who’ve kept this word of God, you understand all the intricacies (revealed treasure) in the similitudes used above, and if you do, you are the stars of God (enlightened: filled with His understanding mind), His sons who shout with joy.
Haggai 2
6 For thus says the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house [My people] with glory, says the LORD of hosts.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts [manifested in His man of war, revealing His treasures reserved in the cloud, sent into battle at this appointed time].
9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, says the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, says the LORD of hosts [a man of just war].
Hebrews 12
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [messengers sent with this message, to the heirs of salvation to be revealed in these last days of darkness],
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speak better [kreitton] things than that of Abel.
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 [this place of full understanding, from the right hand of God the Father]:
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 [these treasures we’ve received], whereby we may [obey and] serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
The LORD, today, refers us to the two places in the Old Testament where the phrase “consuming fire,” speaking of Him, appear in Deuteronomy (4:24 & 9:3), both coming, as above, in warning to hear and obey His word.
The Greek word use above in the same phrase is the once-used katananlisko, meaning “to consume utterly.” It’s from the three times used word analisko, meaning “to use up, i.e. destroy:– consume,” and kata, meaning “down (in place or time).”
The word (analisko) tells us this isn’t fire, as men think it is, but that which is sent from the LORD’s Spirit, manifesting His presence in words from His mouth.
Luke 9
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered [not yet understanding what they were experiencing] every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears [piercing your ears and entering your minds]: for the Son of man shall be delivered [paradidomi – meaning “to surrender, i.e yield up, entrust, transmit”] into the hands of men [who have corrupted the truth and caused the world to lose sight of Him].
45 But they understood not this saying, and [because of the corruption, the spirit of iniquity that was already at work] it was hid from them [as they wondered at the experience], that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child [who wasn’t yet corrupted by the spirit of iniquity], and set him by him,
48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child [who is without men’s corruption] in My name receives me [therefore, be you holy as I Am holy, be you pure as I Am pure of men’s corruption]: and whosoever shall receive me receives him [the Father who is without corruption] that sent me: for he that is least [of no reputation, in this corrupt world as fools for Chris’s sake] among you all, the same shall be great.
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils [misleaders, corrupting and blinding the minds of men] in your name; and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: FOR HE THAT IS NOT AGAINST US IS FOR US.
51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up [out of sight, until His word is exalted above his flesh appearance], he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem [where the peace that flows from God alone should be taught],
52 And sent messengers [with this word from the mouth of God] before his face [as I have sent you to manifest the LORD’s presence before He appears to those who will eventually hear it is Him, and receive Him]: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans [where they’ve put idols in God place and call them by His name], to make ready for him.
53 And they [because of the corruption they’ve been taught] did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem [to teach this word that flows directly from the Father, which is the only way to sustainable peace and security].
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, LORD, will you that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume [analisko] them, even as Elias did [the false prophets {like false teachers among us} of Baal {meaning they call him LORD}]?
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, You know not what manner of spirit you are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
Galatians 5
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law [by following the written word and doing the work called for therein, without understanding the spirit therein: what it is meant to achieve: sustainable peace and security: true civilization]; you are fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision [of the flesh; outward appearance without inward change]; but faith which worketh by love.
7 You did run well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the [present] truth?
8 This persuasion comes not of him that calls you.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump. [Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the corrupt of those entrusted with this understanding.]
10 I have confidence in you through the LORD, that you will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubles you [opposing and resisting this word of God] shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision [the true spirit of removing the flesh from the mind, which uncovers the head from whom comes new life: who is Christ], why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
12 I would they were even [the flesh] cut off which trouble you.
13 For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
15 But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you be not consumed [analisko] one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would.
18 But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law.
We know from the final use of the word analisko, in 2 Thessalonians 2:8, this consuming [fire] is when the Wicked (Satan, the spirit of iniquity working in the children of disobedience) are destroyed by the Spirit of the LORD’s mouth, which is this brightness (giving understanding: cognition) of His coming. That is the experience now at hand, after the falling way (apostasy) that caused worldwide confusion, turned delusion, and now mass debilitating insanity. And only those who refuse the love of the LORD’s truth will perish, self-inflicted by their choice.
2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together [apeksunogoge – at His complete collection of His people into His ONE BODY] unto him,
2 That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day [the time of light, understanding, returned] of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day [full understanding returns] shall not come, except there come a falling away [apostasia – standing away from God and His truth, with those who’ve led there by putting themselves in His place, who now resist and oppose Him] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [the many in the pattern of Reuben, who put himself in his father’s place and lost his birthright];
4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God [in His place], showing himself that he is God.
5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now you know what withholds [katecho – holds down, keeping God’s people from rising] that he might be revealed in his time [all the men putting themselves in God’s place, from then until now, who resist and oppose this true word of God, because it opposes them and their confusion by which they rule].
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets [katecho – hold God people down] will let, until he be taken out of the way [mesos – from among us].
8 And then [when this word of God has free course and is exalted above the corrupt words of men] shall that Wicked be revealed [apokaloupto – the apocalypse], whom the LORD shall consume [analisko] with the spirit of his mouth [these words He is speaking, as a sword of righteousness], and shall destroy with the brightness [full understanding given] of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of [the apostasia – falling away from God and truth, led by the spirit of resistance] Satan with all power [to darken the minds of men] and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that [following them] perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause [choosing to remain in apostacy, following those siting in God’s place] God shall send them strong delusion [insanity now destroying the old and corrupt world], that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit [cleansing you in these pure waters] and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel [believing He is with us, in us speaking and working], to the obtaining of the glory [the manifested presence] of our LORD Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions [paradosis – transmitted, given as received] which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our LORD Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which has loved us, and has given us everlasting consolation [paraklesis – the Paraclete, who is with us always, leading us into all truth] and good hope [of the expected end] through grace [the gift of these treasures],
17 Comfort your hearts [parakaleo – receive the message, this conversation with the LORD, into your minds], and stablish you [by this present truth] in every good word and work.
2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the LORD may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you [received as the word of God, and not of man]:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable [men who can’t be reasoned with] and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But the LORD is faithful, who shall stablish you [in this present truth], and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in the LORD touching you [His word effectually working in you], that you both do and will do [and not just hear] the things which we command you.
5 And the LORD direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly, and not after the tradition [paradosis – transmitted, given] which he received of us.
Hebrews 1
10 And, You, LORD, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:
11 They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels [the messengers He’s sent] said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for [this message to] them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him [from His flesh He prepared for Himself – His ONE BODY in which He dwells];
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts [these treasures revealed] of the Holy Ghost [The LORD speaking and working unknown, veiled in my flesh], according to his own will?
