And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore, also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.
And the LORD continues in the above, from Luke 1:35, as His messenger speaks of the Holy Ghost (Him unknown), foretelling the birth of the ONE BODY of Christ, children of God by His correction, born again from what was before dead flesh.
The “power” mentioned, using the word dunamis, is the word of God, heard from His messengers, effectually working in those receiving it as His, which quickens their minds (from death into life).
2 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God [theos] our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ: [those spoken to here are living in Thessalonica, here meaning in this time of God’s {Thes, like theus in the name Timo-theus} shaking heaven and earth in His victory over death and hell {from the words salos, meaning a vibration or wave, and nike, meaning victory – see the victory, overcoming the world, spoken of below in 1 John 5}]
2 Grace unto you [who hear His voice], and peace, from God our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ.
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith grows exceedingly, and the charity [agape, the love of God manifested in His and our freely giving His word as receive, which this dead world needs] of every one of you all toward each other abounds;
4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations [thlipsis] that you endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense [antapodidomi] tribulation [thlipsis] to them that trouble [thlibo] you; [Hebrews 10:29 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, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense {antapodidomi – repay good to those doing good and evil upon those doing evil}, 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.]
7 And to you who are troubled [thlibo] rest with us, when the LORD Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels [His messengers speaking His word],
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the LORD, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power [dunamis – giving His work that quickens the dead to life]:
12 That the name [identity] of our LORD Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the LORD Jesus Christ.
1 John 5
1 Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born [gennao] of God [brought from death to life again in Him by the effectual power of His word given]: and every one that loves [agapao – by His word given] him that begat [gennao – born again by the power in His word] loves [agapao – freely gives His word as received to] him also that is begotten [gennao – born again] of him.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born [gennao] of God overcomes [nikao] the world: and this is the victory [nike – the only time the word appears] that overcomes [nikao] the world, even our faith [by which we see Him who is unseen by the world].
5 Who is he that overcomes [nikao] the world, but he that believes that Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation veiled in the flesh, appearing to the sight of the now healed blind] is the Son [begotten] of God?
6 This is he that came by water and blood [the word and His sacrifice in the flesh He prepared for Himself], even Jesus Christ; not by water [the word] only, but by water [the word] and blood [and His sacrifice to deliver it as received, declaring it is the Father alive in Him doing the work and speaking]. And it is the Spirit [the Father unknown alive in His flesh] that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth [the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, is the Father working and speaking, unknown, from the flesh of His children].
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven [giving full understanding], the Father [who is ONE GOD], the Word [which He sends with understanding], and the Holy Ghost [His working and speaking, unknown, to reveal Himself to those diligently seeking Him and keeping His word from corruption]: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit [working and speaking unknown], and the water [His word given], and the blood [His sacrifice in the son, children, through whom He manifests His presence]: and these three agree in one.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God [working from heaven and on the earth] is greater: for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his Son [in whom He manifests His presence].
10 He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself: he that believes not God has made him a liar; because he believes not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name [identity] of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name [identity] of the Son of God.
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16 If any man sees his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life [light that is understanding] for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death [rejection of the LORD unknow working His correction in us]: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. [Romains 6:16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are [marked] to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?]
18 We know that whosoever is born [gennao] of God [by His correction] sins not; but he that is begotten [gennao] of God keeps [guards] himself [from the corrupt devils among us as death’s devourers], and that wicked one touches him not.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole [now wholly corrupt] world lies in wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 Little children [in whom I have begotten Christ], keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
The word used while illuminating the power (dumamis) from the Most High, that will (now does) “overshadow” the church (Mary – the rebellious who refused to obey, who haven’t had a man to lead them), is the five times used Greek word episkiazo, meaning “to cast a shade upon, i.e. (by analogy) to envelop in a haze of brilliancy; figuratively, to invest with preternatural influence.”
Three of the other times the word (episkiazo) appears are in (Matthew 17:5, Mark 9:7, and Luke 9:34) telling of the cloud (where understanding is in its separated elements held) that “overshadowed” the LORD, Peter, James, and John. This event is the LORD’s transfiguration, when Moses and Elijah appeared (the deep meaning in law and the prophets revealed), from which the Father’s voice declares His son, and calls the disciples (students) to hear him.
Matthew 17
1 And after six days [on the sabbath] Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun [His identity is in giving understanding to the church], and his raiment was white as the light [which is the life of the world].
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses [the law] and Elijah [and the prophets] talking [through the written word sent forward as a wheel within a wheel, understanding sent to give understanding, in the conversation at the Father’s mercy seat] with him.
4 Then answered Peter [not yet understanding there is only ONE united House], and said unto Jesus, LORD, it is good for us to be here: if you will, let us make here three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
5 While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed [episkiazo] them: and behold a voice out of the cloud [as thunderstanding, the sound of the light], which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear you him.
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation, that was before veiled in the flesh] only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah [the ascension of Jehovah who is the power of God in the flesh] must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things [as the LORD has, resetting the foundations of the earth, all which were out of course and remain so in the places where ignorance rules].
12 But I say unto you, That Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed [according to their own will, not hearing His voice from the cloud]. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Malachi 3
1 Behold, I will send my messenger [mal’ak – My archangel], and he shall prepare the way before me [paniym – for my presence to be revealed]: and the LORD, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger [mal’ak] of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD of hosts [a man of war].
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi [the priesthood], and [from corruption] purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
Malachi 4
1 For, behold, the day comes, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that comes shall burn them up, says the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name [my identity] shall the Sun [this understanding that brings the new day and unites the Church in ONE BODY] of righteousness arise with healing [marpe’ – the cure for death] in his wings [the strength with which we rise into heaven]; and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, says the LORD of hosts.
4 Remember you the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb [when I untaught you the ways of oppression] for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Malachi 3
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers [using words as spells to control mind they’ve deluded], and against the adulterers [who’ve left God to follow men who’ve put themselves in His place], and against false swearers [using lies as policy by which they rule], and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages [stealing through taxation, redistribution with which they buy the souls of dead men], the widow, and the fatherless, [both having no man to protect and defend them against the evil powers] and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, the LORD of hosts.
6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed [by My fire].
7 Even from the days of your fathers you are gone away from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says the LORD of hosts. But you said, Wherein shall we return?
8 Will a man rob God? Yet you [den of thieves] have robbed me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings [of your churches and taxes of your civil governments, by which you rob My people].
9 You are cursed with a curse: for you have robbed me, even this whole nation.
Revelation 3
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
16 So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.
17 Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye-salve, that you may see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcomes [nikao] will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame [nikao], and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
Malachi 3
10 Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse [this place where my treasures are found], that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, says the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a delightsome land, says the LORD of hosts.
13 Your words have been stout against me, says the LORD. Yet you say, What have we spoken so much against you?
14 You have said, It is vain to serve [the living] God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up [in My place]; yea, they that tempt [doubt and deny the presence of] God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often [this word from His mouth] one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name [His manifested indentity].
17 And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.
18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked [good and evil leading, and choose the good and refuse evil], between him that serves God and him that serves him not.
The word, above in Matthew 17:2, rendered “transfigured,” is the four times used word metamorphoo, meaning “to transform (literally or figuratively, “metamorphose”):–change, transfigure, transform.” It’s the word also used by Mark, rendered the same, telling of the same event. Luke, in Luke 9:29, instead uses the words “the fashion of his countenance was altered,” from the Greek words eidos [a view: form seen] prosopon [“the front (as being towards view), i.e. the countenance, aspect, appearance, surface; by implication, presence, person”] heteros [“(an-, the) other or different”]. It (metamorphoo) speaks of transfiguration as a matter of insight, in the mind of the observer, a changing view of what is seen (seeing the unseen and eternal).
In the other two uses of the word metamorphoo, in Romans 12:2 and 2 Corinthians 3:18, we are told how this change of view occurs and that it’s the glory of the Father revealed in the flesh.
Romans 12
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God [doing this work for which He has prepared us], which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to [the pattern of] this [corrupt] world: but be you transformed [metamorphoo] by the renewing of your mind, that [when the LORD’s glory is thereby revealed in you, you] may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace [these gifts] given unto me [for this dispensation], to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly [elevating themselves] than he ought to think [claiming gifts and positions not given by the Father]; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering [not giving until the Father gives it]: or he that teaches, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love [agape – the things you give] be without dissimulation [anupokritos – presuming under your own power: opinions, fabrications, and presumptions originating in those claiming positions not given by the LORD, and in pride becoming unreasonable: unwilling to change]. Abhor that which is evil [which is leading with dissimulation]; cleave [kallao – the origin of the word rendered eye “salve” in Revelation 3:18 above, speaking of what heals blinded eyes, meaning it is what binds you] to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love [philadelphia]; in honor [time] preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the LORD;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written [in Deuteronomy 32:35], Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the LORD.
20 Therefore if your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head. [quoted from Proverbs 25:21 If your enemy be hungry, give him bread {this full body of work, meant to be dispensed to the world in need} to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him {this life giving} water to drink: 22 For you shall heap coals of fire upon his head {burning out the corruption therein}, and the LORD shall reward you.]
21 Be not overcome [nikao] of evil, but overcome [nikao] evil with good.
The word rendered “conformed,” speaking of (not to) the world, is here later described as overcome by evil (overcome evil with good is thereby seen as our transformation, the LORD in us working to destroy the works of devils), is the twice used word sunchematizo, meaning “to fashion alike, i.e. conform to the same pattern (figuratively):–conform to, fashion self according to.” Its only other appearance descriptively comes in 1 Peter 1:14.
1 Peter 1
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification [our separation from corruption into doing His work] of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood [of the sacrifice] of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again [into life with Him] unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are [by His foreknowledge] kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time [understanding this time perfectly before].
6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations [increasing corruption and deception of world tempting you to doubt the LORD’s presence and this Day of the LORD]:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing [back into sight] of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the [expected] end of your faith [Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever], even the salvation of your souls.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it [He] testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us [now in these last days of darkness] they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into [God having provided this better thing for us, that they without us would not be perfected: not fully understood until now].
13 Wherefore gird up the loins [prepare yourselves with these provisions] of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be [is now] brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves [sunchematizo] according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which has called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation [without the corruption of dissimulation: speaking with the LORD at His mercy seat, and then obeying, giving as received, which end is revealing Jesus Christ in us, the same yesterday, today, and forever];
16 Because it is written, Be you holy [without corruption]; for I am holy [without corruption].
17 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here [in the earth] in fear:
18 Forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain [worthless and corrupted] conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who truly [by the foreknowledge of God the Father] was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest [in the flesh] in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned [anupokritos – without dissimulation] love of the brethren [philadelphia], see that you love [agapao – freely give the word as received, boldly declaring it is from the mouth of God] one another with a pure heart [uncorrupted mind] fervently:
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever [only hidden from sight by the blinding corruption taught by the gods of this world, men who put themselves in the Father’s place].
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory [corrupt understanding grown from the earth] of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower thereof [the proud] falls away:
25 But the word of the LORD endures forever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
The following, ending with Philippians 3, begins the Post of 22 December 2022, with today’s additions in double brackets.
19 – 22 December 2022
And [all the diseased masses] besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
The above, Matthew 14:36, is referring to “all” the “diseased” spoken of in the previous verse (35), from the Greek words pas, meaning “all, any, every, the whole,” and enchidna, meaning “to hold (used in very various applications, literally or figuratively, direct or remote; such as possession; ability, continuity, relation, or condition).” The latter word (enchidna) speaks of the “possession” of “all,” by the spirit of error (misleading counsel) in those to whom they’ve attached themselves.
The words “touch” and “touched” are rendered from the Greek word haptomai, meaning “to attach oneself to, i.e. to touch (in many implied relations).” It is from the four times used word hapto, meaning “to fasten to, i.e. (specially) to set on fire:–kindle, light.”
The word rendered “perfectly whole,” the result of attaching one’s mind to the LORD’s, following His good advice, is the eight times used word diasoza, meaning “to save thoroughly, i.e. (by implication or analogy) to cure, preserve, rescue, etc.” It’s from dia, a prefix denoting the channel through which comes the soza, meaning “to save, i.e., deliver or protect.”
The “hem” that is touched (joined to) is the five times used word kraspedon, meaning “of uncertain derivation; a margin, i.e. (specially), a fringe or tassel:–border, hem.” It is speaking of a border as a limit, an extremity reached. It is from the words krazo, meaning to cry or call out [asking for], and pedinos, meaning to walk with ease on level ground.
The deep meaning in the border is realized at the LORD’s coming into Jerusalem, when the people acknowledge Him and lay down (leveling by their himation) “garments” on the same ground upon which those (His elect remnant) carrying Him, with ease, walk.
His are the same (righteous) garments parted (by the occupying forces of Rome – Babylon) at the crucifixion, also described by John in Revelation 19:13 & 16, upon which His name (identity pressed into the earth) is written, that (Word of God) only He (LORD of lords and King of kings) knows.
Revelation 19
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And LORD Of Lords.
Job 38
12 Have you commanded the morning since your days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It [shaking the wicked from it] is turned as clay to the seal [chowtham – His signature, identity pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment [lbuwsh – the “vesture” of Psalms 22:18, foretelling the parting of His “garment” (himation) documented in the Gospels].
15 And from the wicked their light [understanding] is withheld, and the high arm [the power of those swelled with pride in their evil] shall be broken.
16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea [these waters that bring life to the world]? or have you walked in the search of the depth [hidden below its surface, in darkness by chosen ignorance of what is known]?
17 Have the gates of death been opened unto you [by coming from the darkness: the deliberate confusion broadcast from every place of power]? or have you seen the doors [the mouths of the intentionally wicked] of the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth [the now end of the old totally corrupt and the new beginning wherein dwells righteousness] of the earth? declare if you know it all.
19 Where is the way where light [understanding] dwells [with the righteous]? and as for darkness [ignorance as policy], where is the place thereof [with the wicked in power, whose mouths are always, with every word, spewing lies and contradicting reality – and we must realize, there is no good faith discussion in them: everything they speak, literally all their words are deception and evil manipulations]?
20 That you shouldest take it to the bound [gbuwl – the borders: the marked extremity or limit] thereof, and that you shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
The “paths,” the well known ways into and out of the houses of righteousness and wickedness, is the Hebrew word nathiyb, “meaning to tramp; a (beaten) track:–path((-way)), X travel(-ler), way.”
Friends, suffer me for a moment as I again state the obvious (at least to living whose minds show signs of life: critical analysis of data: experienced reality): every word spoken by those in power, from every current institution, is relativistic, justified only by the new standard of the wicked, the reversal of good and evil, their elimination of the necessity for truth in communication. Any message that alters or censors truth is, by definition, deception, and it (fraud) is the intended goal of those now in power, controlling all the completely corrupt institutions. There is no reforming them. There is no hope for us in them. They are the destroyers of the world and humanity, and they take pleasure in doing so. They must be confronted as such: given no authority, confidence, or pretext of truth behind which they can hide. We know, and they know we know. We must continually remind them we know. They are known liars telling known lies, and they don’t care that we know (because no one does anything about it, and most politicians go along with the premise of their fraud: that they are acting in “good faith”). But their ignorance (ignoring the present truth) of our revealing them shouldn’t stop us from uncovering them as they expose themselves without shame to the world. They should be ashamed! (Did you see the statement from the Whitehouse Press Secretary a few days ago? That, no matter what the reports say, the southern border is closed – how dare you believe your lying eyes? At the same time, even the fake news media (though with an agenda to push more here to overwhelm the system into collapse) is reporting the masses flooding over it (the border). Is the Whitehouse lying, or is its mouthpiece media (I think they want to have it both ways, not caring because no one will do anything about it)? No matter – we, the nation, and the world are screwed until they, the wicked in power, are shamed into silence. They and their defenders are a laughingstock! Speaking of laughingstocks – there’s also the J6 HOAX, Zelensky, and the entirety of our Legislative & Executive branches of government.
Jeremiah 6
10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised [only hearing the advice of men, dead flesh, without the LORD’s Spirit], and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men [the ill advisers] together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken [the wicked counselors and those joined with them], the aged with him that is full of days.
12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, says the LORD.
13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest everyone deals falsely.
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace [and the enemies mixed among them are at war with them, even their prophets and priests].
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination [putting their wickedness in place of My holiness]? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them [paqad – come as the Chief Overseer to put the elements back in good order] they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
16 Thus says the LORD, Stand you in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths [nathiyb], where is the good way, and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
17 Also I set watchmen [tsaphah – showing you what was coming and has now come] over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet [calling to you to gather in ONE BODY to the LORD alone, who is our offense and defense in this war]. But they said, We will not hearken.
18 Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people [wicked people who’ve refused to hear My good advice], even the fruit of their [evil] thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
For many years, the LORD has warned of the exponential degeneration that would progress as long as His people continued following those they are. We have often discussed this as “the great paradox” of our time: thinking those you’re following, leaders in church and state, are “good men” who wouldn’t mislead you. The truth is they are ignorant of their own ignorance because it’s what they’ve learned, for which (glorying in their good works) they commend each other, while around us the world burns. They are the destroyers of knowledge and understanding, refusing to hear the voice of Jehovah giving His good (life-giving) advice. “If they speak not according to this word it’s because there is no light, no understanding, in them.”
2 Corinthians 11
12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we [as men in whom a spirit is speaking and working, Christ in us and Satan in them].
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
1 Corinthians 3
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day [this light coming] shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work abides which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [Malachi 3: and the LORD, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple {to His people}, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD of hosts. 2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:]
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If any man [teaches things that] defiles the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world [with its corrupt foundations it’s been taught], let him become a fool, that he may [be able to learn to] be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain [worthless].
Philippians 3
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an example.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ [this sacrifice in the flesh that brings salvation, this life-giving word of God, to the world in need of it]:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious [ONE] body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
2 Corinthians 3
12 Seeing then that we have such hope [of the glory that will continue], we use great plainness of speech [declaring it, God’s glory, is the LORD alive in us speaking the salvation of the world and by fire working out the corrupt]:
13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face [hiding the LORD’s presence in him], that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that [the veil of flesh] which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ [the LORD revealing himself in the flesh He’s prepared for Himself, by working out the corruption thereof].
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn [from following corruption] to the LORD, the vail shall be taken away [and we shall see him as He is]. [1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.]
17 Now the LORD is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty.
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the LORD, are changed [metamorphoo – seeing ourselves when we see His presence in us] into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.
2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry [this dispensation in us], as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things [of corruption] of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God [who sees all].
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the gods of this world have blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image [seen] of God, should shine [understanding] unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light [this understanding] to shine out of darkness [the ignorance of the earth become without form, and void], has shined in our hearts [minds], to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face [presence] of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure [this understanding revealed] in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power [dunamis] may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying [the sacrifice of our flesh] of the LORD Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest [showing His glory] in our body.
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken [speaking His word as commanded, as received]; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 Knowing that he which raised up the LORD Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God [revealed in you].
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
1 John 3
1 Behold [see, now that the corruption is removed], what manner of love [agape – giving us these gifts] the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should [by His correction] be called the sons of God: therefore, the world knows us not, because it knew him not [as He’s worked and spoken among us, unknown, shepherding us to this time of perfection by His correction]
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear [again to our sight], we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself [of corruption], even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And you know that he was manifested to [by correction] take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins has not seen him, neither known him.
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 [corrupted] of the devil; for the devil sins [misleading into death and hell] 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 [good] 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 [giving the understanding as received] his brother [who needs it, as does all the world lying dead in corruption].
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 world hates you.
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loves [agapao] not his brother [doesn’t give this word to those in need] abides in death.
15 Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer [leaving them in death without this word]: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love [agape] of God, because he laid down his life for us [to give us the word of God, declaring it is from His mouth, by which man lives]: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso has this world’s good [this understanding the word needs], and sees his brother has need, and shut up his bowels [keeping this gift inside himself, and not giving as the LORD commands] of compassion from him, how dwells the love [agapo] of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love [agapao] in word [deceived into thinking that by fulfilling the letter of the law, we fulfill its Spirit], neither in tongue [words without understanding]; but in deed [our sacrifice of ourselves] and in truth [of which the world is void].
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts [mind] before him [thereby revealing His presence in us].
20 For if our heart [not showing His light] condemn us, God is greater than our heart [our minds], and knows all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart [our minds one with His] condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God [knowing Him, without timidity of the flesh, in truth speaking His word].
Psalms 73
1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength [their trust in corruption] is firm.
5 They [hiding in their positions in the world] are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain; violence [of their falsehoods] covers them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens [this understanding revealed], and their tongue walk through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13 Truly I [those thinking they are upright] have cleansed my heart in vain [as a swept house wherein dwell evil spirits], and washed my hands in innocence [of the murders].
14 For all the day long have I been plagued [by the same spirits], and chastened every morning [by their own corruption blocking the light].
15 If I say, I will speak thus [with the same old corrupt words]; behold, I should offend against the generation of your children [You are correcting].
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me [realizing this was opposing the LORD and resisting His work];
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God [into His presence and received His understanding]; then understood I their end [when understanding has come, and obedience is perfected].
18 Surely you did set them in slippery places: you casted them down into destruction.
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream [deceived by the creation of stupefied minds] when one awakes; so, O LORD, when you awake [in our flesh, raising us, with One Mind, as Your ONE flesh Body], you shall despise their image [their creations: corruption].
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have held me by my right hand.
24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside you.
26 My flesh and my heart [the corruption in mind] fail: but God is the strength of my heart [writing His understanding into our minds], and my portion forever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from you shall perish: you have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the LORD God, that I may declare all your works.
Psalms 1
1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful [luwts – interpreters, mocking the LORD’s appearing].
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of [living] water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind [the LORD’s Spirit moving] drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
