Truly I say unto you, That you which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

26 – 28 March 2024

Truly I say unto you, That you which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

As seen in a recent post (12 March 2024), the regeneration (paliggenesia – genesis again) is the resurrection of the dead, elsewhere, in the word’s only other use (in Titus 3:5), described as not coming by our works, but by the LORD’s mercy (in the conversation at His mercy seat, where His presence is manifested), “by the washing [luotron – only appearing elsewhere in Ephesians 5:26, where the water is the word of God] of regeneration [paliggenesia], and renewing of the Holy Ghost [His work among us unknown].”

The further definition, found in Ephesians 5:26, tells us it is the LORD Himself (manifesting His presence, speaking through those He’s chosen, from among the many He’s called) that washes away the corruption of the many.

Ephesians 5
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify [separate us from corruption] and cleanse it with the washing of [luotron – loosing us from corruption, by] water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the LORD the church:
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery [now revealed before the eyes of all]: but I speak concerning Christ and the church [joining as ONE BODY through whom He works].
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Friends, it’s a simple message, only hidden by what all have learned from those (the gods of this world who sit in God’s place opposing Him, blaspheming His work) claiming the closed book was opened to them (when it never was). These men are the false Christ, the many antichrists, that have come first, doing the work of Satan, working in his power to deceive, with false signs and lying wonders (which they say prove they should be followed, and their words (false teaching and misleading) should be obeyed and repeated).

1 John 2
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning [arche – the establishment of God’s government; His created principalities]. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning [arche – have heard from the “beginning Again,” NOW when his kingdom has come to earth as it is in heaven].
8 [beginning] Again, [here heard as if] a new commandment I write unto you [again, in like manner], which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness [the time of blinding ignorance] is past, and the true light now shines [when He sends His understanding from His present throne, though His King, and kings].
9 He that says he is in the light [saying they have received understanding from the LORD, the only place from where it comes: from His throne], and hates his brother [refuses to give this word as commanded by the King], is in darkness [proves his ignorance] even until now.
10 He that loves [agapao – gives this word as received, the charity of God that will not fail, even now when all else does, with the old heaven and earth] his brother abides in the light [showing God is in him, and he in God], and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11 But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not whither [where or at what time] he goes, because that darkness [their ignorance of God, which they were taught, that] has blinded his eyes.
12 I write [now, this moment, in these last days of darkness] unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake [His identity manifest to you, who received Him and His word now abides in your flesh].
13 I write unto you, fathers [who are now awakening to your immortality], because you have known him that is from the beginning [arche – from the genesis of the old heaven and earth, which are now ending at the appearance, again, of the LORD and His kingdom come]. I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one [the spirit of Satan, working in those who deceived and misled humanity into death and hell]. I write unto you, little children, because you have known the Father [hearing Him speaking, knowing His voice].
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because you are strong [you have received the understanding once delivered to the saints {the fathers}, for which you have, by faith, earnestly contended against the devils mixed among us – as Enoch foretold, saying “Behold {see}, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”], and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one [Satan working by his word in the many antichrists now mixed among God’s people].
15 Love not the world, neither the things [the ideas and ways] that are in the world. If any man love [gives the words of the wicked one to] the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh [the opinions and delusions created in minds void of God], and the lust of the eyes [the things, without form, they claim they’ve seen], and the pride of life [that keeps them chained in their own darkness], is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world [the old and now totally corrupt] passes away [at the now presence of the LORD’s kingdom], and the lust thereof: but he that [obeying] does the will of God abides forever.
18 Little children, it is the last time [the ‘achariyth now come]: and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby WE KNOW that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us [with the LORD as the head of the house]: but they went out [left Him, and unfaithfully, following the wicked and went into apostacy: standing against the LORD at His appearing and His kingdom come], that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us [the household of faith].
20 But you have an unction [chrisma – the anointing of verse 27 below, the work only appearing these three times] from the Holy One [hagios – the one at whom the world wonders, not knowing from where comes the power manifested in him; it’s the same world rendered “saints” in Jude 1:3 & 14, and as “Holy” twice in verse 20, speaking of the power as the LORD unknown], and you know all things [because He tells those who believe, have faith, it is Him speaking and doing the work through us, in us].
21 I have not written unto you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus [Jehovah manifesting Himself in speaking His mercy and salvation from our flesh] is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father [is in the flesh of the son speaking and working] and the Son [who, obeying the Father, reveals His presence in our flesh].
23 Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: he that acknowledges [the Father in] the Son has the Father also.
24 Let that [the word of God] therefore abide in you [in your flesh], which you have heard from the beginning [arche – the Father, again, establishing His government on the earth as it is in heaven]. If that which you have heard from the beginning [arche] shall remain in you [not letting it slip away by listening to the vain words of corrupting men], you also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life [that lasts forever with those who remain with Him, in Him, and He in us].
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them [the corrupting men] that seduce you.
27 But the anointing [chrisma] which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing [chrisma] teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one that [obeys and] does righteousness [giving this understanding to those held in darkness] is born of him.

Jude 1
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once [long ago] delivered unto the saints [hagios].
4 For [since then] there are certain men crept in [among you] unawares, who were before of old ordained to this [present] condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness [aselgeia – incontinence, their corrupt conversation they cannot control themselves from spewing], and denying the only LORD God [as it is now logically apparent], and our LORD Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that the LORD, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not [this is what men should fear].
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate [left the charge they vowed to keep, which is to deliver the LORD’s message as received], but left their own habitation [and spoke their own ways and ideas against the LORD], he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness [their own ignorance] unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom [consumed in flaming fire] and Gomorrah [left an uninhabitable ruin], and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael [who is like God, made in His image to manifest His presence] the archangel [who is sent to stand in these last days with this message for humanity, against the whiles of the devils], when contending with the devil[s – the misleaders crept in among us unaware] he disputed about the body of Moses [the LORD’s body of work through Him: the Law], durst not bring against him a railing accusation [blasphemia krisis – he didn’t decide to speak evil against him], but said, The LORD rebuke you [as we are to openly rebuke evil speaking, but not render evil for evil].
10 But these speak evil [their corrupt conversation, uncontrollably spewing their own ignorance of God and, not knowing the time, of these last days] of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts [without the LORD’s Spirit], in those things they corrupt themselves. [see Romans 13, verse 11 saying “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed {the present reality of what we hoped for}.”],
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity [their evil conversation staining the message the LORD has given, refusing to give it as received], when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear [ignorant of their own destruction]: clouds they are without water [in who this understanding now is, but they refuse to give it as commanded], carried about of winds [of their own false doctrines]; [corrupt] trees whose [corrupt] fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead [of old and now again choosing death], plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea [evil men, blinded by their pride, risen over humanity], foaming out [words from their mouth] their own shame; wandering stars [planets, deceivers, moving erratically in the heavens, places where understanding should be, who can’t be relied on to navigate in the darkness, as can the true stars], to whom [these deceivers] is reserved the blackness of darkness [to wander in their own ignorance] forever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints [hagios – the true stars of heaven],
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken [their blasphemy] against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouths speak great swelling words [of pride], having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage [excusing evil, even calling it good, if it is to their advantage to do so].
17 But, beloved, remember you the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our LORD Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time [the time we know is upon us, the last days of darkness covering the earth], who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves [from God and His ONE BODY], sensual, having not the [ONE] Spirit.
20 But you, beloved, building up yourselves [upon this teaching from the LORD himself] on your most holy [hagios] faith [in Christ, the LORD with us, in us, and we in Him], praying in the Holy [hagios] Ghost [conversing with the LORD present, but unseen by the corrupt world],
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy [in this conversation at the mercy seat] of our LORD Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference [changing their mind, by giving the word from the LORD, declaring it is His presence manifested, come to effectually work to save the world from itself, freeing it from those intentionally corrupting all truth]:
23 And others save with fear [telling them destruction is the end to come for those remaining in the fires these men’s corrupt conversations cause], pulling [harpazo – the word rendered “caught up” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, which the false prophets, with their evil speaking twist into the false doctrine of an off the planet “rapture,” which is, in reality, His, in us, “pulling”] them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted [stained by the corrupt conversation] by the flesh [those having not the LORD’s Spirit, and therefore remaining ignorant of Him, His truth, and the time at hand, when we gather into His ONE BODY with Him].
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling [with the wicked], and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory [His manifested presence] with exceeding joy [when you realize it is Him and that we’ve reached the end He promised],
25 To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Today’s title verse speaks of now, here, in the present kingdom of God, which came as snare upon all the corrupt world: the LORD present unknown, come as a thief in the night, into this time when man’s ignorance blinds them to this critical moment when all history culminates in His appearance (the unseen seen again).

Matthew 19 [as in the post of 12 March 2024]
21 Jesus said [the command from His mouth, God speaking through him] unto him, If you will be perfect [[teleios – the end, when man is again filled full by the present LORD]], go and sell that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me [[selling all is not the point, which is to obey His verbal command and, abandoning all you think you know, follow His example]].
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions [not keeping the commandments of God speaking in the moment, which is following Him speaking through those He crowns kings here in the judgment, which is the way into eternal life in His kingdom].
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Truly I say unto you, That a rich man [[who refuse to abandon all they think is valuable, the understanding that now dominates, has dominion over, this corrupt world]] shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven [[the place of full understanding now come, into which men have the choice to enter, or not]].
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle [[trupema – only used here, speaking of a doorway opened at night and too small for a camel to enter without removing its load]], than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible [[to remove this burden]]; but with God all things are possible [for those who follow Him into His kingdom, laying hold on their immortality].
27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed you; what shall we have therefore?
28 And Jesus said unto them, Truly I say unto you, That you which have followed me, in the regeneration [[pailggenesia – the again genesis]] when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And everyone that has forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
30 But many that are first [not following God’s commands through His kings] shall be last; and the last [following His commands] shall be first.

The following chapter then speaks of this moment, what humanity is experiencing here and now, as in the days of Elijah (God is Jehovah – manifested in the flesh).

Matthew 20
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which went out early in the morning [when the understanding of this day began to be heard] to hire laborers into his vineyard [those who would take this word and give it as received, like vine branches through which this life flows to bring fruit].
2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny [actually a silver coin, which value was set based on it being the price of ten asses] a day, he sent them [as vines] into his vineyard [to His people].

1 Kings 19
7 And the angel of the LORD [with this same message, sent to those in whom He manifests His presence] came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat [rise to life and by this milk and honey learn to choose good and refuse evil]; because the journey [the course set before us] is too great for you [without My presence manifested in you].
8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb [this time of desolation] the mount of God [from where He speaks].
9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What do you here, Elijah?
10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before [paniym – the place where I choose to manifest My presence, as] the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by [‘abar – the LORD, at His will, self-generated His presence to bring Elijah to life], and a great and strong wind [of corrupt thinking; false doctrines, evil decrees] rent the mountains [His Spirit moved, speaking against the current corrupt government institutions of church and state], and [and they themselves, knowing their time is short] brake in pieces the [false] rocks [in which men ignorantly trust] before [paniym – because of His presence manifested, as] the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind [their false doctrines]: and after the wind an earthquake [to shake the wicked from their seats of power over the earth]; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire [of hell, which these men’s ideas and ways have caused]; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice [in which the LORD manifests His presence].
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What do you here, Elijah?
14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
15 And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus [this people whose work is silenced, because they are drunken and in tears: because they are the dead body of Christ]: and when you come, anoint Hazael [the pure who see God, by seeing as He sees] to be king [as in the kingdom, as the LORD speaks of in Matthew 19 above] over Syria [over those who’ve exalted their words over this word of God]:
16 And Jehu [those in whom Jehovah’s presence is manifested] the son of Nimshi [the rescued who are become rescuers] shall you anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha [those teaching and preaching this word of Jehovah’s salvation, as they have received it] the son of Shaphat [which is My judgment] of Abelmeholah [which has always been the plan {machashabah, My thoughts that are higher than the thoughts of man}, when the vineyard is seen in plain {‘abel} sight] shall you anoint to be prophet [speaking My word as received] in your room [in My place].
17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapes the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapes from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal [the false gods of this world who’ve blinded all but the very elect remnant], and every mouth which has not kissed him [have not made their mouths like these idols’, obeying them and speaking their words].
19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him [those I’ve hired and sent to do My work, who’ve taken My light yoke upon themselves, speaking My word, manifesting My identity in My place], and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by [‘abar – from death into life in] him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray you, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to you?
21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat [they took the word they receive from those who sacrifice to deliver it, and gave it as received]. Then he arose [from death into life], and went after Elijah [the ONE BODY of Christ in which God, who is Jehovah, dwells], and [He] ministered unto him[self, His ONE BODY].

The word “still,” in verse 12 above, is from dmamah (as in Damascus), a three times used word, meaning “quiet:–calm, silence, still.”

The first of the other two uses (of dmamah) comes in Job 4:16 as Eliphaz the Temanite (names telling us he is in a position where understanding should be but is corrupted by wealth being his god) describes his seeing God but (because of his corruption) is unable to discern Him fully. The second is in Psalms 107:29, where it speaks of the LORD as the one who “calms” the storms (caused by the corrupt). In both of these occurrences, we’re told the corrupt are silenced in the LORD’s presence (so His small voice can be heard after the storms of wind, earthquake, and fire have come).

The word rendered “small,” in the same verse above, is daq, which refers us to its use twice in Exodus 16:14 describing the manna, which men were (are) unable to discern is the word from the mouth of God, by which man lives (comes from death into life).

Exodus 16
14 And when the dew [the word of God that appeared on the earth, and man was unaware of its origin] that lay was gone up [understanding given to its deep meaning returned to the cloud], behold [and we saw], upon the face of [paniym – the presence of the LORD] the wilderness [of which we were ignorant because of our desolate condition] there lay a small [daq] round thing [(like a wheel (within a wheel)), understanding sent forward in His written word, to return understanding to those predestined to receive it and awaken to life], as small [daq] as the hoar frost [understanding therein frozen, reserved for the time of war] on the ground [‘erets – on the earth].
15 And when the children of Israel [the people God predestined to receive this promised end] saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: [meaning] for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread [I Am] which the LORD has given you to eat.

Deuteronomy 6
1 All the commandments which I command you this day shall you observe to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers.
2 And you shall remember all the way the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
3 And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger [for the word from His mouth], and fed you with manna, which you knew not [as it is this day], neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.

Jeremiah 29
8 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.
9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, says the LORD.
10 For thus says the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11 For I know the thoughts [machasabah] that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts [machashabah] of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12 Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.
14 And I will be found of you, says the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, says the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place [out of confusion into understanding: out of Babylon into New Heavenly Jerusalem] whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
15 Because you have said, The LORD has raised us up prophets in Babylon;

Deuteronomy 18
17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto [shama’ – and obey] my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21 And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously [zadown]: you shall not be afraid of him.

Proverbs 20
22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty, and casts down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23 Whoso keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles [tsarah – tribulation].
24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who deals in proud [zadown – presumptuous] wrath.
25 The desire of the slothful kills him; for his hands refuse to labor [and speak as the LORD has commanded].
26 He covets greedily all the day long: but the righteous gives and spares not [to give this word as received, as the LORD commands].
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that hears [the LORD speaking] speaks constantly.
29 A wicked man harden his face [paniym – against the LORD’s manifested presence]: but as for the upright, he [His presence] directs his way.
30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
31 The horse [the strengthened people of the LORD] is prepared against the day of battle: but safety [therein] is of the LORD.

Job 4
12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a little thereof.
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before my eyes, there was silence [dmamah], and I heard [shama’ – obeyed] a [still small] voice, [as I ask you] saying,
17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

Isaiah 50
2 Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea [silencing the vane words of wicked men], I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish [the death below their word’s surface] stink [so men perceive its, death’s, presence therein], because there is no water [no word of God heard from them], and die for thirst [without these life-giving words, by the understanding there in the deep waters].
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness [the ignorance that now covers the world], and I make sackcloth [humanity morning its own death] their covering.
4 The LORD God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear [shama’ – and obey] as the learned.
5 The LORD God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back [to follow corruption].
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting [the sacrifice necessary to deliver the LORD’s word, declaring it is him present].
7 For the LORD God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 He is near that justified me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is my adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Behold, the LORD God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10 Who is among you that fears the LORD, that obey [shama’] the voice of his servant [speaking His word as commanded], that walk in darkness [ignorance come from remaining in corruoption], and has no light [understand that is life]? let him trust in the name [identity] of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
11 Behold [see Him], all you that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light [understanding] of your [own strange] fire, and in the sparks that you have kindled. This shall you have of my hand [returning your own word upon you]; you shall lie down in sorrow [remaining dead].

Psalms 107
1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endures forever.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble [tsar – in the hand of their enemy], and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills [full] the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness [ignorance – which is death] and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High:
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble [tsar], and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness [ignorance] and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron [holding humanity in death and hell] in sunder.
17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhors all manner of meat [this deep understanding that strengthen]; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble [tsar], and he saves them out of their distresses.
20 He sent his word [made flesh], and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships [their institution], that do business in great waters;
24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves [the pride of man] thereof.
26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end.
28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble [tsar], and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29 He makes the storm a calm [dmamah – silencing the ignorant, friend and foe], so that the waves thereof are still [chashah – so the proud are quieted].
30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful [eye opening] works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt him [His voice above all others] also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 He turns rivers [of ignorance] into a wilderness, and the [polluted] water-springs into dry ground;
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He turns the wilderness into a standing [living] water, and dry ground into [His] water-springs.
36 And there he makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city [New Heavenly Jerusalem] for habitation;
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffers not their cattle to decrease.
39 Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40 He pours contempt upon princes [who’ve misled them], and cause them to wander [fecklessly] in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41 Yet sets he the poor [without worldly power] on high from affliction [and the last will be first], and makes him families like a flock [gathered into His ONE BODY].
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth [and calm shall cover the earth].
43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things [they are experiencing], even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

24 – 25 March 2024

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

The LORD begins this evening in Psalms 24, speaking of when He heard our voice obeying His command to give His word as given, obedience to which He responds in joining the battle, as in times past when He fought for His anointed and His people who also obey and follow Him.

Tonight’s eclipse signals the beginning of the end of the decreed war desolations: man’s war against God and His faithful (and no, your opinion doesn’t matter because He’s determined it).

Psalms 24
1 The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he has founded it upon the seas [this generation after many], and established it upon the floods [that have ended this age].
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD [to lead His people]? or who shall stand in his holy place [in His presence at His mercy seat]?
4 He that has clean hands, and a pure heart [by which God is seen]; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity [worthlessness], nor sworn deceitfully [in His name].
5 He [whose hands, works, aren’t defiled by corrupt thinking] shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your face [paniym – the LORD’s presence manifested in you], O Jacob [the children of My promise: the covenant I made with Abraham and Isaac]. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads [elevate your minds into heaven with Me], O you gates [into My kingdom]; and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors [that are your open mouths declaring this moment]; and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; even lift them up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts [a man of war], he is the King of glory. Selah.

The word “battle,” in verse 8 above, is milchamah, meaning “from 3898 (in the sense of fighting); a battle (i.e. the engagement); generally, war (i.e. warfare):–battle, fight(-ing), war((-rior)).”

The word (3898) it’s said to be from is lacham, speaking of the LORD as a consuming fire, meaning “a primitive root; to feed on; figuratively, to consume; by implication, to battle (as destruction):–devour, eat, X ever, fight(-ing), overcome, prevail, (make) war(-ring).”

Exodus 14
14 The LORD shall fight [lacham] for you, and you [who understand] shall hold your peace [charash]. [Proverbs 11: 11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. 12 He that is void of wisdom despises his neighbor: but a man of understanding holds his peace {charash}].
15 And the LORD said unto Moses [and now to me], Wherefore cry you [this people] unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward [separating themselves from these men’s delusions: their many worthless opinions]:
16 But lift you up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea [the words of this people, right and left, their innumerable opinions that no man can silence], and [rightly] divide it [before their eyes manifesting my presence]: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground [not listening to or obey these men words] through the midst of the sea.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians [the oppressors whose mouths are forever open], and they shall follow them: and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh [the evil house, the tyrants in power], and upon all his host [the evil army they send against us], upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel of God [I Am His presence manifested in the pillar of the cloud], which went before [paniym – manifesting His presence in this conversation giving His understanding in] the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar [‘ammuwd – took His stand {for all humanity}] of the cloud [this place from where understanding now comes] went from before their face [paniym – manifesting His presence], and stood behind them [said to be from the word ‘achar, when the original text says ‘achariyth, meaning the LORD stands in these “last days” against the darkness]:
20 And it [the LORD in the pillar of the cloud] came between the camp of the Egyptians [the tyrant in power oppressing all humanity] and the camp of Israel [the people of God promise, who receive His rescue at His appearing and kingdom come on the earth as in heaven]; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night [understanding in this time when ignorance covers the earth in darkness] to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night [as all humanity is divided in this time of confusion when ignorance, mass delusions, the multitude of worthless opinions, rule the world, as Babylon: Babble, and the towers they build fall – see Isaiah 30:25 below, speaking of when these towers of Babble fall].
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind [His Spirit moving upon the darkened deep – revealing these treasures hidden in men ignorance] all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters [the words of men were removed from the words of God they corrupted] were [rightly] divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch [when this understanding came as the light of this new day] the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud [now when He stands and speaks this fire from His mouth: understand from His throne hidden therein], and troubled the host [the army] of the Egyptians,
25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face [paniym] of Israel [the LORD’s presence manifested in His people who stand with Him]; for the LORD fights [lacham] for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters [their own evil conversation, evil decrees by which they tyrannically rule] may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength [understanding by which they stand] when the morning [this light of this new day] appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh [the evil powers] that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead [as dead men in the flesh] upon the sea shore [saphah, the banks to the river spoken of in Daniel 12:5, speaking of the end of darkness, now when this book is again opened; also meaning lips and speech, referring to when God’s people again open their mouth speaking His word, understanding this moment].
31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians [the tyrants in power]: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.

Isaiah 30
20 And though the LORD give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers:
21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
22 You shall defile also the covering [of darkness: ignorance by men’s creations] of your graven images of silver, and the ornament of your molten images of gold: you shall cast them away as a menstruous cloth; you shall say unto it, Get you hence [as the LORD says, “Get behind Me Satan”].
23 Then shall he give the rain of your seed, that you shall sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day [when the light has come] shall your cattle feed in large pastures.
24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender [cleansed in My threshing], which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of [this living] waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers [of Babble] fall.
26 Moreover the light [understanding] of the moon [civil government] shall be as the light [understanding] of the sun [when understanding returns to church and state that are now seen to be without it], and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold [perfected – full understanding on earth as in heaven], as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the breach of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name [identity] of the LORD comes from far [merchaq – in this time the LORD decreed], burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips [saphah] are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring [consuming] fire:
28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity [threshing, judging, them by their own worthless words]: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws [controlling the mouths] of the people, causing them to err [speaking the worthless words of those they obey].
29 You [who have understanding] shall have a song [this word the LORD has put into your mouths, which He commands His people to repeat as received], as in the night [this time of darkness] when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard [from His people], and shall show the lighting down of his arm [His work through us giving understanding, which is the life of the world], with the indignation of his anger [against the wicked destroying the earth and humanity], and with the flame of a devouring [consuming] fire [from His mouth], with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian [the communists among us in power] be beaten down, which smote [all humanity] with a rod.
32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
33 For Tophet [this time and place of this trial by fire] is ordained of old; yea, for the king [I Am] it is prepared; he has made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath [the life, understanding, from the mouth] of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, does kindle it.

Friends, the woeful truth is that man has become so deluded (having thousands of differing opinions on every matter, including about God and His word) that only a very few can be saved from their ignorance, of which they, in their pride, fail to admit. They, refusing to subordinate their opinions to anyone’s, seek out opportunities to convince others their delusions are reality, even calling this reality delusion. They will never believe the LORD sent one person to the many to lead them out of their darkness, and all they have to do is listen. If they did they would realize this is the time and the way the LORD chose to confound the wise, to unite His people who do subordinate and follow Him into eternity. All others are left in their darkness forever, by choice.

Hear the word of the LORD, from His mouth:

Amos 6
3 You that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock [devouring My people, while you remain comfortable], and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
5 That chant [repeating your own delusions] to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of music [creating your own songs you cause men to repeat], like David;
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph [your king who is held in the prison of your lies].
7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
8 The LORD God has sworn by himself, says the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces [those sitting in the seats of power over God’s people, controlling their minds into ignorance and telling them they are safe and secure thereby and therein]: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 And a man’s uncle [dowd – the beloved, the name David, those sitting in his seat] shall take him up, and he that burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with you? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold your tongue: for we may not make mention of the name [identity] of the LORD.
11 For, behold, the LORD commands, and he will smite the great house with breaches [their own words], and the little house with clefts [the houses spoken of in the previous verses].
12 Shall horses run upon the rock [and not slip and fall]? will one plow there [upon a rock] with oxen [and the instrument no bebroken]? for you have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
13 You which rejoice in a [worthless] thing of naught, which say, Have we not taken to us horns [the power to rule over the minds of men] by our own strength?

The word “breaches” in verse 11, speaking of the great house, is from raciyc, which should be defined as evil speaking (ra’ siyach), and only appears one other time, in Song of Solomon 5:2.

Song of Solomon 5
1 I Am come into my garden [here in Eden among My people who are as], my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk [by these the LORD taught me, changing my mind to choose good and refuse the evil]: eat, O friends [who are like my sister or my spouse]; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved [dowd – I Am the beloved of God, Timothy of the house of David].
2 I sleep [I slept in death], but my heart waketh [by the LORD awakening me]: it is the voice of my beloved [dowd] that [with his voice] knocks, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove [you who know the time, that we’ve reached the expected end], my undefiled [who have been cleansed of all corruption]: for my head is filled with dew [the word of God, understanding, that now appears on the earth], and my locks [qvutstsah – meaning shorn, only appearing elsewhere in verse 11 below; from quwts, meaning to clip off] with the drops [raciyc – evil speaking] of the night [of darkness].
3 I have put off my coat [the old man]; how shall I put it [corruption] on? I have washed my feet [of the corruption men added to God’s word in their journey to this end of the days of darkness]; how shall I defile them [again]?
4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door [to open it to my friends], and my bowels were moved for him.
5 I rose up [from among the sleeping dead] to open to my beloved [friends]; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock [unlocking the treasure found therein].
6 I opened [the sealed things] to my beloved; but my beloved [my friends who are of my house] had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spoke [their own words]: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil [radiyd – this word I spread before them] from me.
8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved [dowd], that you tell him, that I am sick of love.
9 What is your beloved more than another beloved, O you fairest among women [chuch, who are My ONE BODY]? what is your beloved [dowd] more than another beloved [dowd], that you do so charge us [the word charge here and in the previous verse are from the word shaba’, meaning to be complete, and to seven, as in what perfects you, repeating the charge, the words given to be given]?
10 My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand [not speaking opinions but the truth as received directly from the Father of us all, which He says made me “more than another {any other} beloved,” as in the previous verse].
11 His head is as the most fine gold, his locks [qvutstsah – I have been cleaned by Him of evil speaking that plagues all others] are bushy [by which His voice is exalted above all others], and black as a raven [removing the darkness that cover all others].
12 His eyes are as the eyes of doves [seeing this end no others see] by the rivers of [these living] waters, washed with milk [learned to choose good], and fitly set [mille’th – filled to the full].

The word rendered “bushy,” above in verse 11, is the once used Hebrew word taltal, from a doubling of the once used word talal, meaning “to pile up, i.e. elevate.” It (talal) appears in Ezekiel 17:22, where it’s rendered “eminent.”

Ezekiel 17
19 Therefore thus says the LORD God; As I live, surely my oath that he [all the spiritually wicked sitting in seats of power in church and state] has despised, and my covenant that he has broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon [this time when confusion rules the world and all are ignorant and dead], and will plead with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.
21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword [this word from the mouth of God, which they refuse], and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds [of men’s false teaching and false prophesying]: and you shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.
22 Thus says the LORD God; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent [talal]:
23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
24 And all the trees of the field [men of the earth] shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree [the powerful], have exalted the low tree [above all other voices], have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.

Matthew 13
31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
33 Another parable spoke he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman [the unfaithful church that didn’t keep, protect and defend, my word from the corruptors] took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened [corrupted].
34 All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke he not unto them:
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples [students] came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels His messengers with this message, to be repeated as received], and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth [this understanding] as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Psalms 44
1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the times of old.
2 How you did drive out the heathen with your hand, and planted them; how you did afflict the people, and cast them out.
3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance [understanding your presence], because you had a favor unto them.
4 You are my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 Through you will we push down our enemies: through your name [identity] will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7 But you have saved us from our enemies, and have put them to shame that hated us.
8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise your name forever. Selah.
9 But you have cast off, and put us to shame; and go not forth with our armies.
10 You make us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
11 You have given us like sheep appointed for meat; and have scattered us among the heathen.
12 You sell your people for naught, and do not increase your wealth by their price.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14 You make us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,
16 For the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten you, neither have we dealt falsely in your covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from your way;
19 Though you have sore broken us in the place of dragons [whales and serpents devouring us with always wide open mouths], and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21 Shall not God search this out? for he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yea, for your sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Awake, why sleep you, O LORD? arise, cast us not off forever.
24 Wherefore hide you your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaves unto the earth.
26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for your mercies’ sake.

Jeremiah 8
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one deals falsely.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
13 I will surely consume them, says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defensed cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan [this time of the LORD’s judgment]: the whole land [‘erets – the earth] trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land [‘erets – the earth], and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says the LORD. [Therefore, the son of man must be lifted up as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, that this voice is exalted above all these others.]
18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed] country [‘erets – earth]: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment has taken hold on me [the dead body of Christ].
22 Is there no balm in Gilead [in this mountain of testimony]; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? [It’s because they refuse this simple cure: to hear and obey the voice of Jehovah.]

Psalms 21
1 The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
3 For you prevent [go before] him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked life of you, and you gave it him, even length of days forever and ever.
5 His glory is great in your salvation: honor and majesty have you laid upon him.
6 For you have made him most blessed forever: you have made him exceeding glad with your countenance [your presence].
7 For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.
8 Your hand shall find out all your enemies: your right hand shall find out those that hate you.
9 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against you: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12 Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready your arrows upon your strings against the face of them.
13 Be you exalted, LORD, in your own strength: so will we sing and praise your power.

The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but [they being blind, don’t see He] is [here] long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

19 – 21 March 2024 PART 2 OF 2

2 Peter 3
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but [they being blind, don’t see He] is [here] long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men] shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy [uncorrupted] conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable [asteriktos – able to be moved by deceivers] wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].

Proverbs 27
1 Boast not yourself of tomorrow; for you know not what a [new] day [when understanding enlightens the ignorant] may bring forth.
2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.
4 [Man’s] Wrath is cruel, and anger [‘aph – passionately doing evil] is outrageous [sheteph – is the flood]; but who is able to stand before envy [those who refuse to believe this word, because the LORD chose to send it through another, as with Abel, who Cain killed out of wrath, anger, and envy; “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.”]?
5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

In these last verses, the LORD leads us to the “flattery” spoken of in Daniel 11, which is how the “wicked one,” the king of the north (Obama), overcomes all people and misleads them into desolation in his war against God and His people.

Daniel 11 speaks of the “appointed time” (mow’ed) that was yet to come, before which time came the war desolations described, while the kings of the north and south (speaking of the Democrats and Republicans, like Israel and Judah), dividing the people for gain (of their kings), war against one another. As we know, mow’ed is the word rendered “time” and “times” in Daniel 12:7, (times) in which none will understand, because the book (God’s word) is sealed until the end, when it is opened, as many are purified of (men’s) corruption that sealed it.

Daniel 11
22 And with the arms of a flood [sheteph] shall they [the holy people] be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also [gam – speaking of God’s people, as the unfaithful the dead body of Christ, gathering these men’s words as evil fruit that is spoken against] the prince [I Am] of the covenant. [The word gam first appears in Genesis 3:6 rendered “also,” where it should says Eve gave Adam the evil fruit she “gathered” from the serpent, listening to corrupt tree’s bad advice and misleading advice; and then in verse 22, again rendered “also,” speaking of life that comes from “gathering” from the good tree of life.]
23 And after the league [chabar – meaning “to join (literally or figuratively); specifically (by means of spells) to fascinate] made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people [m’at gowy – a few people who don’t know God, who broadcast these men’s evil spells].
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers [as communists redistributing the wealth they seized by taxation and judicial injustice]; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices [broadcast their evil spells] against the strong holds, even for a time.
25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand [for humanity, but for themselves]: for they shall forecast devices [broadcast their evil words] against him.
26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat [that depend on him for their pork: a portion of the taxes] shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow [by the flood broadcast]: and many shall fall down slain.
27 And both of these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end [qets] shall be at the time appointed [mow’ed].
28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant [the promise God made to Abraham in Genesis 15, and repeated in Genesis 22]; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
29 At the time appointed [mow’ed] he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as [came against] the former [sea], or as [he first came against] the latter [‘acharown – the same word rendered “hinder” sea in Zechariah 14:8 above].
30 For the ships of Chittim [the new warrior{s}, “bruisers” of the serpents’ head {see Genesis 3:15}, the LORD raises as His army against him] shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant [because they know it foretells their end]: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with [biyn – giving them his evil understanding and bad advice to] them that forsake [abandoned and refused to obey] the holy covenant [as promised to Abraham when he obeys the voice of the LORD].
31 And arms [the strength, as Ariel now taken] shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength [ma’owz – the Rock in which we trust], and shall take away the daily sacrifice [which is to pay the necessary price to speak the word of God, declaring it is His presence manifest in our flesh], and they shall place the abomination [the creations of devil, which they have put is God’s place and call by His name] that makes desolate.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries [chalaqqah – only appearing here, meaning “flattery, smoothness, fine promises,” speaking of the false preachers, prophets, and teachers that tell the uninquisitive sheep they are saved by following the abomination they created and call by God’s name]: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits [fighting the good fight of faith, giving this word of God and His understanding held therein].
33 And they that understand [sakal – are intelligent] among the people shall instruct [biyn – give this understanding to] many: yet [of the many] they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little [m’at] help [this still small voice of the LORD, heard but not yet accepted as His presence manifested]: but many [deceivers: false preachers, prophets, and teachers] shall cleave [lavah, the origin of the words Levite and Leviathan – speaking of those mixed among as teachers and preachers, now corrupt, speaking and broadcasting their evil communication] to them with flatteries; as Peter speaks of beginning 2 Peter 2].
35 And some of them of understanding [because of the doubt sown by the corrupt trees] shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end [qets]: because [the LORD continues His long-suffering, not willing that any should perish, but that all world come to repentance] it is yet for a time appointed [mow’ed].
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation [za’am] be accomplished [kalah – end in destruction of the communists now in power – as in Isaiah 10 above]: for that that is determined [charats – decreed] shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers [the Founding Fathers of this nation], nor the desire of women [the now unfaithful church], nor regard any god: for he [the communists in power: Obama and his idiot son] shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honor the God of forces [ma’owz – seeking total control over all people, forcing them to trust and worship the abominations they put in God’s place and call by His name]: and a god [communism in church and state] whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds [ma’owz] with a strange god [the many false Christs men have created and call by God’s name], whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide [as they have] the land for gain [as have Obama and his idiot son].
40 And at the time of the end [qets] shall the king of the south push at [nagach – go to war against] him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind [sa’ar – causing great fear, manufacturing hoax crises, causing irrational fear and panic they use to gain and keep control: a war that is as], with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow [with the flood of evil communication] and [bring the] pass over [‘abar – the end when the dead are awakened, “some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt”].

[sa’ar, only used eight time, refers to Deuteronomy 32:17, saying:
15 But Jeshurun [God’s people who prospered under Him] waxed fat, and kicked: you are waxen fat, you are grown thick, you are covered with fatness [prosperity that comes by following My good advice]; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared {sa’ar} not. 18 Of the Rock that begat you you are unmindful, and have forgotten God that formed you. 19 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. 20 And he said, I will hide my face {paniym – My presence} from them, I will see what their end {‘achariyth} shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. 21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 22 For a fire is kindled in my anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.]

Daniel 11
41 He [the communists in power] shall enter also into the glorious land [‘erets – the earth, among the people of God’s promise: the holy covenant], and many countries shall be overthrown [by the flood]: but these [because they are his ilk and confederates] shall escape out of his hand, even Edom [the enemies of God’s people, mixed among us, at war with us while calling it peace], and Moab [whose mouths are the gates holding humanity in death and hell], and the chief of the children of Ammon [who divided God’s people into factions].
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt [this nation now ruled by tyrants] shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans [the empty minded and afflicted, resulting from a lack of God’s word] and the Ethiopians [those covered in darkness, deprived of understanding] shall be at his steps [mits’ad – only used two other times, in Psalms 37:23 saying “The steps {mits’ad} of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights in his way.” And Proverbs 20:24, saying “24 Man’s goings {mits’ad} are of the LORD; how can a man then understand {biyn} his own way? 25 It is a snare to the man who devours that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry {to investigate his own crimes, as do the wicked in power over church and state, and in doing only find the innocent guilty}. 26 A wise king scatters the wicked, and {so they rise not to power again} brings the wheel over them.”.
44 But tidings [shmuw’ah – this report, rumored to be the still small voice of Jehovah] out of the east [from this sun rising of this new day of light] and out of the north [the ignorant held in darkness coming to understanding as the light shines on them] shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many [with their flood of lies and false accusation, as we see and hear daily from the wicked].
45 And he shall plant [deep within] the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain [the “deep state” – the wicked among God’s people, sitting in seats of power]; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Daniel 12
1 And at that time [of the promised end reached] shall Michael [who is made in God’s likeness] stand up [‘amad – resurrected in these last days], the great prince which stand for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – the tribulation], such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the [now opened] book.
2 And many of them that sleep [this is Abram deep sleep – Genesis 15:12] in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [give understanding] as the brightness of the firmament [the exposition that divides the words of men from the words of God]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets]: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold [I saw], there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river [during the time when the book is sealed and opened].
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river [of time carrying this word of God forward], How long shall it be to the end [qets] of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that lives for ever that it shall be for a time [mow’ed – an appointed time when the book was closed], times [mow’ed – now when it is opened], and an half [chetsiy – when this word is split open again and rightly divided]; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power [by corrupting the true word of God, and it isn’t in them effectually working to bring them to life] of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my LORD [‘adown], what shall be the end [‘achariyth – the last days] of these things?

As often discusses, this chapter gives the formula (time and times – both from mow’ed, meaning the appointed time) and numbers of days that add up to the time of Abram’s deep sleep, beginning then and ending now: when the LORD Himself reveals them as He opens the book and we find ourselves written therein.

Daniel 12
9 And he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified [of the corruption that hold them in death’s sleep], and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination [men’s word’s and ways, as idols put in God’s place] that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days [the time, and one of the times].
12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [the other of the times – adding the time 1290 + (to the times 1290 + 1335) = the number of years since Abram’s {Abraham’s} deep sleep began].
13 But go you your way till the end [qets – the full end, now when we are awakened] be: for you shall rest, and stand [‘amad – from the sleep in death resurrected] in your lot at the end [qets – the full end] of the days [here spoken of].

Ephesians 6
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand [for all humanity] against the wiles of the devil[s now in power over the world they deceived into corruption and insanity].
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities [arche – God’s designed government now in the hands of the wicked], against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel [the Lion of God – the strength {understanding} of God, here taken and controlled by the wicked], to Ariel, the city where David [the lion of Judah] dwelt! add you year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel [it will again be My strength].
3 And I [as a man of war] will camp against you round about, and will lay siege against you with a mount, and I will raise forts against you.
4 And you shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust [as the voice of the serpent from the ruin of the earth], and your voice shall be, as of one that has a familiar spirit [of the known dead speaking words of death], out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Moreover the multitude of your strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6 You shall be visited [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the Earth] of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition [matsowd – her munitions are the net with which they catch those who are without the root, foundation, of righteousness], and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakens, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion [when they awaken and realize their own mind’s delusions deceived them and they have been emptied of all understanding].
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder [not knowing what you are experiencing]; cry you out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep [with no signs of life], and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers [ra’ah – those who see as God sees] has he covered [kacah].
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book [cepher] that is sealed [chatham], which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed [chatham]:
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart [the foundations of their mind – their stiocheion is corrupt] far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [eye opening] work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder [pele’ – at which all have wondered]: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their [wicked] counsel [‘etsah] from the LORD, and their works are in the dark [their own ignorance of reality and truth they can’t understand because it is as a foreign language], and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down [the overthrow] shall be esteemed as the potter’s [yatsar] clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed [yatser] say of him that framed [yatsar] it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon [purity seen in high places] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words [this word] of the book [cepher], and the eyes of the blind shall see [again] out of obscurity, and out of darkness [by coming out of ignorance].
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed [padah] Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale [but they will reach the end promised].
23 But when he sees his children [who have been born again out of death and hell], the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name [declare My identity Holy], and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured [against me] shall learn doctrine.

Hosea 13
14 I will ransom [padah] them from the power of the grave [sh’owl, Sheol]; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be your plagues; O grave [Sheol – hell], I will be your destruction: repentance shall be hid from my eyes [nocham cathar ‘ayin – this comfort, restoring things and matters concealed shall come as this fountain of living waters].

In Genesis 22:4 we are told of Abraham, on the third (resurrection) day, seeing (ra’ah) the place “far off,” using the word rachowq, meaning “remote, literally or figuratively, of place or time; specifically, precious;” speaking of this time when the world is ruled by evil decree. The statement comes while describing the LORD as Jehovah-jireh (Jehovah sees – everything) to Abraham, after he sees as the LORD does and obeys His voice.

Genesis 22
15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, says the LORD, for because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son:
17 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 hell] of his enemies;
18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed my voice.
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba [the well of seven oaths – the promises flowing from the Father].

The word rendered “possess” in verse 17 above is yarash, meaning “to occupy (by driving out previous tenants, and possessing in their place); by implication, to seize, to rob, to inherit; also to expel, to impoverish, to ruin.” It’s used to describe the seducers who possess and control the goodman’s house and of our (I and the children God has given me) inheriting it with the land (America) and earth.

Hebrews 11
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, OBEYED; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that [by our obedience] they without us should not be made perfect [all of us together, resurrected in ONE BODY in the Father’s presence].

Mark 12
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do you not therefore err [planao – as a deceiver in the darkness], because you know not the scriptures, neither the power of God [to raise the dead by His word effectually working in us quickening us into life]?
25 For when they shall rise [anistemi] from the dead, they neither marry [gameo], nor are given in marriage [gamisko – gama’ ischus]; but are as the angels [messengers joined with the LORD] which are in heaven [this place of full understanding, from where His voice is heard].
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise [egeiro]: have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: you therefore do greatly err [planao].
28 And one of the scribes [one of those who write about the God’s word] came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear [in Deuteronomy 6:5 the word is shama’, meaning not only to hear but also to obey and do], O Israel; The LORD our God is one LORD:
30 And you shall love [agapao] the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength [ischus]: this is the first commandment.
[Deuteronomy 6:3 Hear {shama’} therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you, in the land that flows with milk and honey. 4 Hear {shama’}, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. 6 And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart: 7 And you shall teach them diligently unto your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lay down, and when you rise up.]
31 And the second is like, namely this, You shall love [agapao – give this word as you have been given, diligently teaching the children of God to hear and obey, as commanded], your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, you have said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength [ischus], and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my LORD, Sit you on my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool.
37 David therefore himself calls him LORD; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes [who with error, planao, define the written word and oppose this sound doctrine], which love to go in long clothing [who cover themselves with their own words], and love salutations in the marketplaces [and speak to be commended and saluted by men],
39 And the chief seats in the synagogues [to keep power in church and state], and the uppermost rooms at feasts [to exalt their voice above God’s truth]:
40 Which devour widows’ houses [widows who don’t have a real living man to protect and defend them from the wicked who prey upon such], and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall [do now] receive greater damnation.
41 And Jesus sat over against [kathizo katenanti – set himself directly in opposition to: the opposite of] the treasury [gazophulakion – the treasure house, where these treasure are stored in men’s darkness, reserved for this time of war], and beheld how the people cast [ballo] money into the treasury [gazophulakion]: and many that were rich cast [ballo] in much.
42 And there came a certain poor [without worldly power] widow [the same widows as in verse 40, seeking a living man to lead her, and found none], and she threw in [ballo] two mites [duo lepton – cast away the scales from her eyes], which make a farthing [kodrantes – makes one fourth: makes one ready for the Creator’s work]
43 And he called unto him his disciples [students], and says unto them, Truly I say unto you, That this poor [without worldly power] widow has cast [ballo] more in, than all they which have cast [ballo] into the treasury [gazophulakion]:
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance [and kept much of what corrupted and blinded them]; but she of her want did cast [ballo] in all that she had [that blinded her], even all her living [bios – here current state of existence, cast away looking for a flesh man, so she could be created anew by the Creator, who is the unseen Spirit working and speaking from the flesh of those chosen “of the Spirit”].

Romans 8
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are [created] after [the work of] the Spirit [and keep in mind, hear and obey] the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity [opposite] against God: for it is not subject to [hupotasso – not hearing or obeying] the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ [the LORD’s presence] be in you, the [flesh] body is dead because of sin; but [now] the Spirit is life because of [His] righteousness [right thinking, corrected away from the blinding corruption that spotted, stained, our flesh minds].
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up [egeiro] Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken [from death into life] your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify [make dead] the deeds of the [flesh] body, you shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself [Himself] bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the [long] sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory [the manifested presence of the LORD] which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation [of the new creation] of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature [the old flesh] was made subject to [hupotasso – hearing and obeying] vanity [mataiotes – worthlessness, only appearing elsewhere in Ephesians 4:17 where it’s the darkness of the minds of those who haven’t yet known the present LORD; and in 2 Peter 2, where it’s the words of those who, with their evil conversation {aselgeia}, allure those who escaped them], not willingly, but by reason of him [LORD] who has [until now] subjected [us to this vanity] the same in hope [of the escape, the new creation, the liberty now at hand, which we see in our experiencing Him],
21 Because the creature [the natural man] itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption [to from its ruin, the dust of the earth, create us] into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groan and travails in pain together until now [waiting for the new creation, bringing the new Spiritually minded man into the world].
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our [flesh] body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is [now] seen is not hope: for what a man sees [the reality he hoped for], why does he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not [the LORD manifested presence], then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps [with a little help, His still small voice heard declaring Himself with us, in us] our infirmities [our weakness, inability to see the unseen]: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself [Himself] makes intercession for us [interrupts and intervenes] and with groanings [stenagmos – only appearing elsewhere in Acts 7:34] which cannot be uttered [alaletos – only used here, meaning they are only known and spoken by God]. [Acts 7:31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him, 32 Saying, I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob {God of the living, present in every generation}. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold. 33 Then said the LORD to him, Put off your shoes from your feet: for the place where you {now} stand is holy ground. 34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning {stenagmos}, and {therefor, I} Am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you into Egypt. 35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush {in the good conversation, the fire that burned but never burned out}. 36 He brought them out, after that he had shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. 37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet {I Am, Timothy, in whom the LORD has chosen to reveal His presence in this generation of the living He brings with me from death into life} shall the LORD your God raise up {from the dead into life} unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall you hear {and obey}.]
27 And he that searches the hearts [the minds of those who’ve known God, and recorded His words] knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for [entugchano – a five times used word meaning to light upon; referring us to its use in verse 34 below, and in Hebrews 7, saying “24 But this man, because he continues ever, has an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession {entugchano} for them.”] for the saints according to the will of God [to make His word known to be His presence with this generation].
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [proorizo, meaning “to limit in advance,” literally saying this is the fore {predetermined} horizon, from where the sun rises in this new creation; this moment in time, when all thing are perfected: finished, filled full] to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be [I Am] the firstborn [of this new creation] among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate [proorizo], them he also called [through me announcing His presence] called [to, in like manner, speaks His word and declare His presence]: and whom he called, them he also justified [dikaoo – rendered {made and showed to be} just and innocent of any offence against God {of which they are falsely accused by those guilty of such}]: and whom he justified, them he also glorified [revealing His presence in them].
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us [declaring us innocent], who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up [into this time, to suffer the rejection and false accusations of men] for us all, how shall he not with [raising Him to life again] him also freely give us all things [as He has here and now]?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifies.
34 Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen [egeiro] again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession [entugchano] for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love [agape – freely giving us all things] of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved [agapao – freely gave His treasures to] us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love [agape – this grace given by the Divine charity] of God, which is in Christ Jesus our LORD.

1 Peter 4
6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be you therefore sober [of a sound mind], and watch unto prayer [for the LORD to speak in this conversation wherein His mercy is revealed to all humanity].
8 And above all things have fervent charity [agape] among yourselves: for charity [agape] shall cover the multitude of sins.
9 Use hospitality [be generous, giving these gifts] one to another without grudging.
10 As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God gives: that God in all things may be glorified [declared and realized to be present] through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion [over all God’s creation] forever and ever. Amen.
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you [so only the truth of God remains], as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory [His presence in His word] shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy [when He is realized alive in you].
14 If you be reproached for the name [the identity] of Christ [manifested in you], happy are you; for the spirit of glory and of God rests [lighted] upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters [as these evil acts now pervades the world, promoted by the corrupt church and state institutions].
16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian [Christ alive in you], let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf [declaring He is alive in us, proving Himself present].
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved [by obeying], where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Psalms 34
1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened [given understanding]: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man [who had no power to deliver himself] cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles [tsarah – the tribulation].
7 The angel of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them [natsal – same as harpazo, pulls them from the fires to Himself here present].
8 O taste [this word of God in your mouth, to be given as received] and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him.
9 O fear the LORD, you his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions [in whom the LORD’s strength should be found] do lack, and suffer hunger [without this word of God]: but they that [diligently] seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
11 Come, you children, hearken unto [shama’ – hear and obey] me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 What man is he that desires life, and love many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile [fraud, words meant to deceive and do harm].
14 Depart from evil, and do [‘asah] good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face [presence] of the LORD is against them that do [‘asah] evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers [natsal – as promised] them out of all their troubles [tsarah – the tribulation, the time of Jacob’s trouble].
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers him [natsal – harpazo, here in the earth takes them into His hand, shielding them from the fires, as promised “pulling” them] out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones [‘etsem – his essence: self, joined with His]: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The LORD redeems [padah] the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

19 – 21 March 2024 PART 1 OF 2

For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

The words “marry” and “marriage” are rendered from the Greek gameo and the once-used word gamisko. They are both from the word gamos, said to be of uncertain affinity, but presumed to mean nuptials, “wedding.”

The unknown affinity of these words is with the Hebrew words gama’ and gam, which lead us to understand the origin of the mystery of “marriage,” when Adam absorbs Eve again into (back into his body and they two become) one flesh. As we understand, this man and woman are patterns of the Christ and the Church, joined as ONE flesh BODY, filled full by His mind as, at, the head of the household of God.

From the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary:

#1572: gama’ (pronounced gaw-maw’); a primitive root (literally or figuratively) to absorb:–swallow, drink.

#1571: gam (pronounced gam); by contraction from an unused root meaning to gather; properly, assemblage; used only adverbially also, even, yea, though; often repeated as correl. both…and:–again, alike, also, (so much) as (soon), both (so)…and , but, either…or, even, for all, (in) likewise (manner), moreover, nay…neither, one, then(-refore), though, what, with, yea.

The once-used Greek word gamisko is from gam(a’) and the Greek word ischus, meaning “from a derivative of is (force; compare eschon, a form of 2192); forcefulness (literally or figuratively):–ability, might(-ily), power, strength.”

These words brings us to the LORD beginning today, explaining the “Verse of the Day” at biblegateway.com, Galatians 5:22 & 23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”

The end Paul above describes (the LORD in Him speaking and working) is a process that begins with “love,” agape (the LORD giving understanding to His word, through those He enlightens and sends to enlighten) and ends with the fully ripened fruit. He says this (fulfilling) is when “temperance” appears, from the four times used Greek word egkrateia, meaning “self-control (especially continence):–temperance.”

This word (egkrateia), not fully defined, is from the word egeiro and kratos; definitions to follow.

#1453: egeiro (pronounced eg-i’-ro); probably akin to the base of 58 (through the idea of collecting one’s faculties); to waken (transitively or intransitively), i.e. rouse (literally, from sleep, from sitting or lying, from disease, from death; or figuratively, from obscurity, inactivity, ruins, nonexistence):–awake, lift (up), raise (again, up), rear up, (a-)rise (again, up), stand, take up.

#2904: kratos (pronounced krat’-os); perhaps a primary word; vigor (“great”) (literally or figuratively):–dominion, might(-ily), power, strength.

The word egeiro is rendered “rise” in the verse after the title verse, which (resurrection – anistemi) comes when the LORD is at the head of the ONE BODY, at His dominion, His kingdom come on the earth, appearing as the Captain of the ship (of church and state).

Micah 4
6 In that day, says the LORD, will I assemble [gather] her that halted [became lame and went astray], and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted [in the tribulation of this corrupt world];
7 And I will make her that halted a remnant [My elect, whom I have chosen], and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even forever.
8 And you, O tower of the flock [that see these things now come], [be] the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto you shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of [New Heavenly] Jerusalem.
9 Now why do you cry out aloud? is there no king in you? is your counsellor perished? for pangs have taken you as a woman in travail [to bring forth the man who is king].
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the city [awaken out of confusion, to the meet him outside the camp, there bearing the reproach that falls upon us for declaring these truths], and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to Babylon [here and now, knowing we are living in the foretold world ruled by confusion, turned delusion, whose fruit is insanity: the inability to distinguish between reality and the insane delusions of the wicked in power]; there shall you be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Now also many nations are gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. [As foretold in Zechariah 14:2 & 3, speaking of this “Day of the LORD,” saying, “For I will gather all nations against {New Heavenly} Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle {the same Isaiah speaks of in Isaiah 28:21, when the LORD fought at Perazim and Gibeon}.”]
12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor [there threshing them to remove the chaff from the wheat].
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn [your power to rule] iron, and I will make your hoofs brass [to trample the enemies under your feet]: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate [devote to His use] their gain unto the LORD, and their substance [chayil – all good abilities, “strength, might, efficiency, wealth, army”] unto the LORD of the whole earth.

Isaiah 28
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 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, 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 to destroy this existential threat.

Isaiah 10
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 “failing” 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].

Hebrews 3
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost says, Today if you will hear [obey] his voice,
8 Harden [skleruno] not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness [when you doubted the LORD’s presence]:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart [darkened minds]; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart [misled mind] of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened [skleruno] through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end [in His presence, raising Himself in you];
15 While it is said, Today if you will hear his voice [here speaking], harden [skleruno] not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in [into His presence] because of unbelief.

The title verse is speaking of this time, in the resurrection, when God’s people, as a body, no longer join themselves to men, but are instead ONE with the LORD, as His messengers (as the angels of heaven) giving His message, filling humanity full of His understanding and His power (this word that effectually works in the mind of men, to change them away from darkness into His light).

Matthew 24
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great [lying] signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For [He is here, present in the conversation at His mercy seat] as the lightning [this understanding] comes out of the east [as the Light rising to bring this new day], and shines even unto the west [upon all, bringing out of confusion all who receive Him]; so shall also the coming of the Son of man [in the flesh, manifesting the LORD’s presence] be.
28 For wheresoever the carcass is [of the dead body of Christ], there will the eagles [who by His strength have risen into heaven, full understanding, with Him] be gathered together [into His ONE BODY].
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened [after the tribulation ends, when this light has come, the old church, the institution, shall be seen as fully corrupted and without light], and the moon shall not give her light [all civil governments, the institutions, now realized to be fully corrupted, after the tribulation ends, now when this understanding has come], and the stars shall fall from heaven [all God people who follow the false teaching and misleading of these institutions, seen to be fallen away from understanding, into apostacy], and the powers of the heavens [the corrupt understanding that covered the earth in darkness] shall be shaken [so the wicked are shaken from them] :
30 And then shall appear the sign [the Light of heaven] of the Son of man in heaven [coming with this full understanding]: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn [when they realize their fallen state, and their denial of the LORD at His appearing and kingdom come], and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power [the word of the LORD that effectually to raise His people from death into life] and great glory [His presence manifested to save the world].
31 And he shall send his angels [His messenger, as I send you] with a great sound of a trumpet [calling all to gather into the LORD’s ONE BODY], and they shall gather together his elect [those who choose to join Him] from the four winds [where they have been scattered by following, joining with, false doctrines of false prophets and false teachers mixed among them], from one end of [the old and corrupt] heaven to the other [this beginning of the new, wherein dwells righteousness].
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves [new life coming from this good tree], you know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise you, when you shall see all these things [as you now do], know that it is near, even at the doors [and only by opening the door the good fruit comes].
34 Truly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 [The old and corrupt] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words [this word] shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knows no man [as none have known it, even though a man, I Am, has declared], no, not the angels of heaven [none of those speaking from the places where understanding should be found], but my Father only [alive in me, the living God who the world hasn’t known, neither can they know Him without believing the Son: I Am].
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying [gameo] and giving in marriage [ekgamizo], [joining with men who brought, them into ignorance of God’s work before their eyes, long-suffering the prepare the place of salvation for His people] until the day that Noah entered into the ark [and, after he entered, closed the door],
39 And knew not until the flood [now mixed with fire from the mouth of God] came, and took them all away; so shall [now before your eyes] also the coming of the Son of man be.

Acts 13
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses [the law made us aware of sins, and then postpone the penalty by continued sacrifice to cover them; Christ, by correction, through His one long-suffering sacrifice to deliver it, takes away the mind that wills to sin, overwriting it with His perfect law of liberty].
40 Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man declares it [as I Am] unto you.

The following, ending with Psalms 27, is from the post of 12 November 2023, with today’s addition in double brackets.

Zechariah 14
1 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you.
2 For I will gather all nations against [[the dead carcass, the dead body of Christ, who with His rising in them becomes New Heavenly]] Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people [[the elect remnant in whom He is already risen]] shall not be cut off [[karath – the same spoken of in Daniel 9:25, speaking of the LORD remaining with His elect remnant, those here realizing His presence with us, in us, saying “And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off {karath}, but not for himself {not from the elect remnant}: and the people {the carcass remaining death} of the prince {the devils in power, in God’s place in church and state} that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood {sheteph – a key word, see its uses below, the evil conversation of the wicked in power}, and unto the end {qets} of the war desolations {of those warring against us with their evil words, their flatteries, their deceptions masked in their claimed good intentions} are determined {charats – decreed, as spoken of above in Isaiah 28:2 & 10:22 & 23 below}]] from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal [unto sanctification]: yea, you shall flee, like as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah [the strength of Jehovah] king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints [the former sea] with you [the latter sea].
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light [understanding] shall not be clear, nor dark [these messages are heard but not yet fully understood]:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light [into the darkness of ignorance and confusion the LORD comes with understanding].
8 And it shall be in that day, that [these] living waters shall go out from [Heavenly New] Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem [all the high places, and their fruit, shall be brought down by the peace that flows from His right hand]: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate [the entryway taught by the right hand of the LORD] unto the place of the first gate [the place where the light is first seen], unto the corner gate [and turning to Him {the LORD} they shall enter], and from the tower [where is seen the evidence of the price paid to redeem the earth: the field] of Hananeel [those who God has favored] unto the king’s winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem [the peace He is teaching]; Their [works of the] flesh shall consume [maqaq] away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes [what they say they’ve seen and understand] shall consume [maqaq] away in their holes, and their tongue [their word against the LORD] shall consume [maqaq] away in their mouth. [Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.]
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
14 And Judah [the elect remnant – the saints who have come with the LORD] also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen [those who haven’t known the LORD] round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance [the things they thought were valuable but are actually the burdens and plagues]
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague [the defeat of all those who carry {teach and preach} these burdens].
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto [Heavenly New] Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt [the houses of oppression] go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles [who come not out of these houses of oppression – to the harvest].
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt [the oppressors who put heavy burdens on God’s people], and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses [this shall be the shade in the day, that replaces the plague of the burdens upon the horses], Holiness Unto The LORD; and the pots [filled with these living waters that have flowed from Him] in the LORD’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in [Heavenly New] Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto [pure, to be delivered in the form it was received from] the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite [those who {conspicuously} hate their brother, because upon him is the righteousness that pleases the LORD] in the house of the LORD of hosts.

The word maqaq, only used seven other times, meaning “to melt; figuratively, to flow, dwindle, vanish,” very descriptively appears in the following passages.

Leviticus 26
36 And upon them that are left alive [in animated dead flesh] of you I will send a faintness [morek – only appearing here, telling of softening their hardened hearts: minds] into their hearts [their minds failing] in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf [the LORD’s Spirit moving unseen and unknown] shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword [this word from My mouth]; and they shall fall when none pursues.
37 And they shall fall one upon another [upon the stumbling block of their hardened minds], as it were before a sword, when none pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
38 And you shall perish among the heathen [who haven’t known me, as in the generation that no longer remembered Joseph], and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39 And they that are left of you shall pine away [maqaq] in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away [maqaq] with them.
40 If they shall [soften their hardened minds, and] confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary [griy – with hostility] unto me;
41 And that I also have walked contrary [griy] unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts [their mind without spiritual discernment] be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment [correction] of their iniquity:
42 Then will I remember [zakar] my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember [zakar]; and I will remember [zakar] the land [‘erets – the earth].

Isaiah 34
1 Come near, you nations [who’ve refused to know the LORD, who’ve refused] to hear [shama’ – obey]; and hearken, you people: let the earth hear [shama’ – obey], and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
2 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations [the ignorant who continue with their own evil words and ways], and his fury upon all their armies [the liers and deceivers under the command of the communists: pope and presidents]: he has utterly destroyed them, he has delivered them to the slaughter [their own words have destroyed them, showing them to be the maliciously insane: ruling by evil decrees that are no longer followed].
3 Their slain also shall be cast out [shalak – thrown out {into the light}], and their stink shall come up [‘alah] out of their carcasses [the shall be perceived to be the dead awakened to everlasting contempt], and the mountains [their positions of power, institutions which are the seats of deception and evil misleading] shall be melted [macac] with their blood.
4 And all the host of heaven [the enemy armies occupying the places where understanding should be found] shall be dissolved [maqaq], and the [old and corrupt] heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea [Edom, Esau, the enemies mixed among us as neighbors, claiming to be at peace with while they war against us, our God, and His sound mind: truth and reality] and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
6 The sword [this word] of the LORD is filled with blood [draining away what animates their dead bodies], it is made fat with fatness [it has prospered], and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah [among His flock], and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea [destroying these enemies].
7 And the unicorns [the one horn, the united powers of confusion and demoralization: the cause of the mass delusions of the insane] shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust [the ruin of the earth under their control] made fat with fatness [their ruining has prospered and will prosper until it never rises again].
8 For it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion. [which is, “Who is better suited to rule the world?”]
9 And the streams [the words coming from them] thereof shall be turned into pitch [burning darkness], and the dust [the ruin] thereof into brimstone, and the land [‘erets – the earth] thereof shall become burning pitch [the flaming ruin of hell].
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up forever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it [‘abar – none shall pass from there into life] forever and ever.

[[I intellectually, spiritually, and critically analysed the earth and found it without form, void, confused, and empty.]]

Isaiah 37
22 This is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him [the communists]; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, has despised you, and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
23 Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? and against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
24 By your servants have you reproached the LORD, and have said, “By the multitude of my chariots [that carry the words and ways of confusion into the battle] am I come up to the height of the mountains [power over all the world], to the sides of Lebanon [where purity was once seen on high]; and I will cut down the tall cedars [the upright men] thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I [as a serpent] will enter into the height of his border [qets – their foretold end], and the forest of his Carmel [the LORD’s garden of Eden].
25 I have digged, and drunk water [understanding dark sayings]; and with the sole of my feet [traveling among them] have I dried up [censored] all the rivers of the besieged places.”
26 Have you not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that you shouldest be to lay waste defensed cities into ruinous heaps.
27 Therefore, their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
28 But I [the LORD] know your abode, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against me.
29 Because your rage against me, and your tumult, is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
30 And this shall be a sign unto you, You shall eat this year such as grows of itself [the result of the confusion you have sown]; and the second year that which springs of the same: and in the third year sow you, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof [which is now ripe, seen to be what it is, and now readied for My harvest].
31 And the remnant that is escaped [pleytah] of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32 For out of [Heavenly New] Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape [pleytah] out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
33 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria [the communists now in power], He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, says the LORD.
35 For I will defend this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
36 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote [nakah] in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning [when this light has come], behold [I saw], they were all dead corpses [animated flesh awakened to everlasting contempt].

Ezekiel 4
16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break [shabar – see Job 24:20] the staff of bread [the whole body of the work of the communists] in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away [maqaq] for their iniquity.

We know, from its uses in Isaiah 14 and Job 38, that shabar is speaking of the LORD destroying the work, the evil decrees, of the communists in power, and the confusion they’ve wrought.

Isaiah 14
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear, and from the hard bondage wherein you were made to serve,
4 That you shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon [the confusion that now rules over the world], and say, How has the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
5 The LORD has broken [shabar] the staff of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers.
6 He who smote [nakah] the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindered.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since you are laid down, no feller is come up against us.
9 Hell from beneath is moved for you to meet you at your coming: it stirs up the dead for you, even all the chief ones [the powers] of the earth; it has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations [into everlasting contempt].

24 The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 That I will break [shabar] the Assyrian [the communists] in my land [‘erets – MY earth], and upon my mountains [governments] tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
27 For the LORD of hosts [a man of war] has purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28 In the year that king Ahaz [who now holds God’s people captive] died was this burden.
29 Rejoice not you, whole Palestina [the enemy army mixed among us, who are now seen in plain sight], because the rod of him [the communists] that smote [nakah] you is broken [shabar]: for out of the serpent’s [dead] root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent [saraph – they have no idea that their work has brought forth the LORD, whose word is now exalted].

As we know, the word saraph only appears a few (six) other times. The first two of these are in Numbers 21:6 & 8, as we are told of when Moses lifted (exalted) the fiery serpent (saraph) on a pole (flying it as a banner). This occurred when the people spoke against God, as serpents (saraph) mixed among them in their camp, which (words) were biting and killing (the minds of) those bitten. The LORD commanded Moses to lift the fiery serpent on a pole (nec), and if they were bitten (by the serpents among them opposing the word of God), all who looked to it would live.

We also know the LORD says, in John 3:14 – 21, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation [krisis – the self-condemning decision], that light [understanding] is come into the world, and men loved darkness [ignorance] rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”

Numbers 21
8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make you a fiery serpent [saraph], and set it upon a pole [nec]: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, shall live.

Job 38
4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if you have understanding.
5 Who has laid the measures thereof, if you knowest? or who has stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together [when all God’s children sprang to life and spoke His word as received], and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8 Or who shut up the sea [humanity] with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9 When I made the cloud [where My understanding is held] the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling-band [ignorance as a protective wrapping] for it,
10 And brake [shabar] up [the darkness] for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors [so no other would understand until I sent the One I chose],
11 And said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves [of the wicked] be stayed?
12 Have you commanded the morning [this light coming] since your days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new], that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal [my signature pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment [righteousness with which I protect My people from the corrupt elements of the world].
15 And from the wicked their light [this understanding] is withheld, and the high arm shall be broken [shabar].
16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea [these waters that give life to humanity]? or have you walked in search of the depth [below their surface]?
17 Have the gates of death [and hell] been opened unto you? or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth of the earth [when its ages end and begin again]? declare if you know it all.

Psalms 27
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host [the army of the wicked] should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When you said, Seek you my face [paniym – Your presence]; my heart said unto you, Your face [paniym – Your presence], LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not your face [paniym – Your presence] far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land [‘erets – the earth] of the living.
14 Wait [qavah – bind together, collect] on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart [He has written understanding to our minds]: wait [qavah – until He has awakened us all and joined us in His ONE BODY], I say, on the LORD.

The word sheteph (from Daniel 9:25 above), speaking of the “flood,” only appears five other times, all describing it as “the end of the war desolations,” at which point the LORD appeared in the battle, raising the elect remnant (His goodly horse). Zechariah 10:3 My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats [misleaders]: for the LORD of hosts has visited his flock the house of Judah [His elect remnant], and has made them as his goodly horse in the battle.

Job 38
22 Have you entered into the treasures of the snow, or have you seen the treasures of the hail [this word God “reserved” in heaven, as Peter speaks of, kept there {tereo – protected and guarded against men’s corruption} to be sent it in this time of judgment, war, and salvation]?,
23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
24 By what way is the light parted, which scatters the east wind [the LORD’s Spirit moving] upon the earth?
25 Who has [rightly] divided a watercourse for the overflowing [sheteph – the flood of evil men’s words] of waters, or a way for the lightning [understanding from the cloud] of thunder [the voice of the light];
26 To cause it to rain on the earth [sending this word upon the earth], where no man is [before man was again created, raised to life from the dust, the ruin, of the old earth become without form and void]; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27 To satisfy the desolate [in man’s war against God] and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth [as in Matthew 24:32 & 33, from the old waste bringing this new life on this third day of creation]?

1 Peter 1
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood 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 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 [tereo] in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time [the ‘achariyth – these last days of darkness].

And from 2 Peter 2 & 3, as in the previous post:

2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily [introduced surreptitiously, by devils crept in unaware] shall bring in damnable [apoleia – that cause them and those who follow their ways to perish] heresies, even denying [as they now do] the LORD that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction [apoleia – perdition].
2 And many shall follow their pernicious [aploeia – the ways that lead to their own destruction] ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of [as it is this day].
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned [fraudulent] words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation [apoleia – perishing, perdition] slumbers not [because they are awakened “to shame and everlasting contempt”].
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved [[tereo]] unto judgment [[krisis – this decision point, when they by their own evil conversation choose to remain in darkness]];
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation [aselgeia] of the wicked:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The LORD knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations [the doubt sown by corrupt trees, their filthy conversation that leads men to deny the LORD is present], and to reserve [[tereo]] the unjust unto the day of judgment [[krisis]] to be punished:
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness , and despise [[the LORD’s]] government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil [blashemeo] of dignities [doxa – the LORD’s manifested glory].
11 Whereas angels [the LORD’s messengers with His true message, which manifest His presence], which are greater in [His] power [ischus] and might [to change men by His word effectually working in them], bring not railing accusation [blasphemos krisis – they make the decision to not render evil for evil] against them before the LORD [in, as, of whose presence they stand for all humanity].
12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption [their evil speaking];
13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time [when this understanding has come to create again heaven and earth, wherein dwells righteousness: true and right thinking]. Spots [stains] they are and blemishes, sporting [reveling in] themselves with their own deceptions while they feast with you;
14 Having eyes full of adultery [having left the LORD, seeing and following the ideas and ways of corruption], and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable [asteriktos – unfixed, able to be moved by deceivers] souls: a heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness [a false prophet who was paid to curse God’s people: to doom them to destruction by following false prophecy];
16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass [as I Am, a fool for Christ’s sake, only having words He’s put in my mouth] speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the [false] prophet[s].
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest [the agitation of humanity caused by obeying the words of those falsely claiming they are filled with understanding]; to whom the mist of darkness [[their own ignorance, in which they choose to remain]] is reserved [[tereo]] forever.
18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity [worthlessness], they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness [aselgeia – corrupt conversation: of false teaching and misleading], those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19 While they promise them liberty [that will come by obeying them], they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage [and beginning demagogues they end as tyrants].
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein [by the same deceivers that led them here into death and hell], and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered [to obey the LORD and His word here spoken] unto them.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

2 Peter 3
1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds [by which we see the LORD] by way of remembrance [of who you are in Christ]:
2 That you may be mindful [remember] of the words which were spoken before by the holy [uncorrupted] prophets, and of the commandment [as in verse 21 above] of us the apostles of the LORD and Savior:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall [have] come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God [this same word of God] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved [[tereo]] unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

See 19 – 21 March 2024 PART 2 OF 2

But I know your abode, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against me.

3 – 6 March 2024 PART 1 OF 2


But I know your abode, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against me.

The above is the LORD speaking against Sennacherib the Assyrian, names (spiritually) telling us these are the destroyers of civil governments and communists. He (the LORD) is describing their ignorance of their own identity and purpose, which is to destroy governments that are in drought: void of His word: teaching the only way to sustainable peace and security in life, liberty, and estate, which flows from Him in His law and His law of nature.

In this case, Sennacherib has come against Judah, in the reign of Hezekiah, who repented, which (making Jehovah his strength, as his name translates) brought the LORD to his defense. His repentance (the shadow returning ten degrees – returned to its state ten kings before Him) also brought a fifteen-year pause in the decline of (Jehovah’s strength in) his government, which resumed after his death under his son Manasseh (who forgot the source of strength), who quickly brought in idols (men and their creations) he put in God’s place.

Isaiah 37
15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD [remembering He will rise, in conversation, to give us His strength, to save us], saying,
16 O LORD of hosts [a man of war], God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims [in the conversation at Your mercy seat], you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: you have made heaven and earth. [Psalms 34:17 The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles {tsarah – tribulation}. 18 The LORD is near unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit.]
17 Incline your ear, O LORD, and hear; open your eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib [those destroying just civil government], which has sent to reproach the living God.
18 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria [the communist in power] have laid waste all the nations [those who haven’t known the LORD], and their countries,
19 And have cast their gods [idols they put in God’s place] into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
20 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD, even you only.
21 Then Isaiah [who is Jehovah’s voice speaking His salvation] the son of Amoz [born by His strength to give strength] sent unto Hezekiah [who is raised as Jehovah’s strength in civil government], saying, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Whereas you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
22 This is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him; “The virgin [not joined with men in confusion’s folly], the daughter of Zion [who’ve entered the LORD’s kingdom], has despised you, and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of [New Heavenly] Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
23 Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? and against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.”
24 By your servants have you reproached the LORD, and have said, “By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains [the Highest government of God], to the sides of Lebanon [against purity seen in these High places]; and I will cut down the tall cedars [the men who defend the places] thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border [ending this government], and the forest of his Carmel [which, under My rule and protection, is the garden of Eden].
25 I have digged, and drunk water [words and ways that destroy the minds of men and carry them into death and hell]; and with the sole of my feet [by this way] have I dried up all the rivers of the [word of God in these] besieged places.”
26 [And the LORD answered, saying,] “Have you not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that you shouldest be to lay waste defensed cities into ruinous heaps.
27 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
28 But I know your abode, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against me.
29 Because your rage against me, and your tumult, is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came [through HOAXs, hyped crisis, cultivating {cult-controlled} panic, deceived your way into power – the same now uncovered destroying you in the LORD’s apocalypse].”
30 And this shall be a sign unto you [all the people of the earth], You shall eat this year [shaneh, from shanah, meaning mutation, change, evolution] such as grows of itself [in the wild, over which you have no control]; and the second year that which [change it causes] that which spring of the same [in the wilderness, when a state of nature exists and natural law becomes self-evident]: and in the third year sow you [this New Heavenly Jerusalem, the people of My planting], and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah [My elect remnant, My new crop of leaders in church and state] shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32 For out of [New Heavenly] Jerusalem shall go forth [into My new creation] a remnant, and they that escape out [of the old corruption] to mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
33 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria [the communists in power], He shall not come into this city [New Heavenly Jerusalem], nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, says the LORD.
35 For I [the Almighty, a man of war] will defend this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
36 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh [where God’s people, with Him, rise in condemnation of them].
37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch [the great eagle {this corrupt government} ruling over the carcass of the dead] his god, that Adrammelech [the king of honor] and Sharezer [the prince of the fires {the LORD in the furnace with us}] his sons smote him with the sword [this word of God from our mouths]: and they escaped into the land of Armenia [reversing the curse {as in Hezekiah’s time}]: and Esarhaddon [bonding them as together {as ONE}] his son reigned in his stead.

Psalms 34 
1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [shama’ – hear it as His voice and obey] thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name [identity] together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he heard [‘amah – responded, with His voice, to] me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened [given understanding, wherein is our way forward into new life]: and their faces were not ashamed [not disappointed, realizing He is our promised end].
6 This poor man [without worldly power] cried, and the LORD heard [shama’] him [heard his obedience, the product of their understanding], and saved him out of all his troubles [tsarah – tribulation]. [Romans 10: 8 But what says it {Deuteronomy 30:14, speaking of how the LORD comes from heaven and is raised from death out of hell}? The word is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart {from your mind revealed in your spoken thought}: that is, the word of faith {by which you are saved, and raised with Him}, which we preach; 9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus, and shall believe in your heart {mind} that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. 10 For with the heart {mind} man believes unto righteousness {correct, right, thinking}; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed {not disappointed}.]
7 The angel [mal’ak – messenger, the cherubim manifesting His presence at the mercy seat] of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them.
8 O taste [these words] and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him.
9 O fear the LORD, you his saints [qadowsh – His holy place, wherein He dwells and from where He is manifested present]: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and [without His word] suffer hunger: but they that [diligently, in faith] seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. [Hebrews 11: 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.]
11 Come, you children [born again by our Father’s correction], hearken unto [shama’ – and hearing His voice, obey] me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 What man is he that desires life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile [deception, fraud].
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace [that only flows from the Father’s teaching], and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous [those not speaking evil or guile, but according to this good word from the mouth of the LORD], and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face [paniym – presence] of the LORD is against them that do evil [misleading the sheep], to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles [tsarah – the current tribulation, hell on earth, which the dead, the ignorant, deny and think is normal].
18 The LORD is near unto them that are of a broken heart [minds realizing they strayed into death]; and saves such as be of a contrite [dakka’ – meaning powder, as in, realizing they are a product of the afflictions that ruined, crushed, the earth’s] spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones [from being crushed into powder]: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The LORD redeems the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

The word dakka’ only appears two other times; in Psalms 90:3 rendered “destruction;” and in Isaiah 57:15 speaking those who “are of a contrite” and humble spirit (able and willing to be corrected). 

Psalms 90
1 LORD, you have been our dwelling place [ma’own, literally asking, what ‘own, meaning “(in the sense of effort, but successful); ability, power, (figuratively) wealth:–force, goods, might, strength, substance” {in us}] in all generations. [1 John 4:12 No man has seen God at any time. If we love {agapao – giving His word as received, as His} one another, God dwells in us, and his love {agape – his word received as His} is perfected {teleioo – “to complete, i.e. (literally) accomplish, or (figuratively) consummate (in character):–consecrate, finish, fulfil, make) perfect.”} in us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit {His presence with us unknown, leading us into all truth, and, in the process, revealing Himself as the ONE, the Father in His children doing the work and speaking}. 14 And we have seen and do testify {unto salvation} that the Father sent the Son {His children, His ONE flesh BODY in which He dwells} to be the Savior of the world.]
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3 You turn man to destruction [dakka’ – bringing his ways to ruin, to humble him, the contrite, into knowing his need for correction]; and sayest, Return [to Me], you children of men.
4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past [any given time past is perceived as a percentage of the total time of consciousness], and as a watch in the night [awake while man sleeps in ignorance waiting for this day to come].
5 You carry them away [into darkness] as with a flood [of their own ignorance]; they are as a sleep [in death]: in the morning [when understanding comes as the light of a new day] they are like grass which grows up [new life rising out of the earth, out of the belly of hell].
6 In the morning [when light has come] it flourish, and grows up [chalaph – as a change of garment, their flesh cover]; in the evening [when darkness, ignorance, returns] it is cut down [muwl – circumcised, their worthless flesh is removed], and withers [as it now has].
7 For we are consumed by your anger, and by your wrath [this word sent to the dead who reject it] are we troubled.
8 You have set our iniquities before you [making them known and correcting them away], our secret “sins in the light” [ma’owr – the power, in us effectually working Your revelation, and working out iniquity] of your countenance [paniym – by Your presence].
9 For all our days [man’s false understanding] are passed away [panah – appear] in your wrath [this word the ignorant reject]: we spend our years [shaneh – changes] as a tale [hegeh – man’s thoughts, the muttering of fools] that is told.
10 The days [man’s false understanding] of our years [shaneh – of his evolution] are threescore years and ten [when Divine order returns]; and if by reason of strength [men in power] they be fourscore years [only understood after His perfecting in the New Creation], yet is their strength [men in power] labor and sorrow; for it [the wicked in power] is soon cut off [guwz], and we fly away [these last words refer to the only other time guwz is used, in Numbers 11:31, saying, of the wicked powers that, as quals, are taken away by the LORD’s Almighty Spirit, and fall around us, “And there went forth a wind {His Almighty Spirit} from the LORD, and brought {quwz – cut off} quails from the sea {people at large, who they, by their evil, misled}, and let them fall {natash – be beaten down} by the camp, as it were a day’s journey {derek – a conversation giving understanding} on this side {then}, and as it were a day’s journey {a conversation giving light, as a wheel within a wheel, received} on the other side {now}, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits {‘ammah – mother, a teacher who raises us} high upon the face of {paniym – in the LORD’s presence on} the earth.”].
11 Who knows the power of your anger [Your word, the scourging that effectually works in those who receive it as Your word working out of them corruption]? even according to your fear, so is your wrath [giving this word, even to those who reject it, warning them they are, by refusing to receive it as My word, destroying themselves].
12 So teach us to number [assess] our days [the things you think you know], that we may apply our hearts [minds] unto [Your] wisdom.
13 Return [to the sight of Your people], O LORD, how long? and let it repent you concerning your servants. [Galatians 4: 18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. 19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, 20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you {while I wait patiently for your conversion, when your mouths are opened as is necessary for the world’s good}.]
14 O satisfy us early with your mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days [when full understanding comes and is, to the world, apparent in your opened mouths].
15 Make us glad according [as promised during the time of correction] to the days wherein [while all were still in ignorance of the LORD’s presence] you have afflicted us, and the years [shaneh] wherein we have seen evil [which produced our change, evolution].
16 Let your work [changing us] appear unto your servants, and your glory [Your apparent presence in us] unto their children.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish you the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands [in us] establish you it [to the world through us].

Isaiah 57
11 And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? have not I held my peace [not speaking] even of old, and you fear me not [now that I have spoken against you]?
12 I will declare your [self-presumed, falsely so-called] righteousness, and your works; for they shall not profit you.
13 When you cry [to Me], let your companies deliver you; but the wind [My Almighty Spirit] shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that puts his trust in me shall possess the land [‘erets – the earth], and shall inherit my holy mountain;
14 And shall say, Cast you up, cast you up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block [of men’s corruption] out of the way of my people.
15 For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite [dakka’] and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive [chayah – quicken from death into life] the heart [minds] of the contrite [daka’] ones.
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me [in the darkness of their ignorance], and was wroth, and he went on frowardly [twisting and perverting truth] in the way of his heart [mind].
18 I have seen his [blind and lame] ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also [into all truth], and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off [rachowq – those here in the time when the world is ruled by the unrighteous decrees of evil men in power], and to him that is near [destruction], says the LORD; and I will heal him.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea [constantly agitated and agitating], when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt [destroying all truthful discourse].
21 There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.

As we’ve seen, in the post of 27 February 2017, per (as it pertains to) Psalms 119 in the previous post, the word chayah, a product of the dakka’ (daka’), is the LORD’s effectual work in us bringing the contrite from death into life: by bringing us from ignorance (taught by corrupt men) into His light (taught by our uncorruptible God).

Now I ask the proud again, are you better (holier than) the one the Father calls the Holy One, who you call your LORD as you worship idols you created and put in His place, while you (witnessing against yourselves) prove yourselves ignorant of Him and His way?

As we’ve seen, the LORD suffered this scourging (daka’), which Paul speaks of many times, which Isaiah foretold, as Psalms 119 does of the affliction of God’s children, which (tribulation – evil men pressing upon us: oppression) turn us again to Him, purging us of (His word effectually working out of us) corruption into life. 

Hebrews 2 (after describing the messengers the LORD sends, led by the son He filled full, through whom He speaks in these last days, as flames of fire sent to minister this word to those who inherit Salvation), in context, says:

1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me, to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “divers” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding all these divers elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place [psalms 8] testified [of the son], saying, “What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit [paqad – manifest Your presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth, in] him?
7 You madest him a little lower than the angels [as we’ve seen, the words here are chacer ‘elohiym, telingus us the son is intentionally sent lacking the full knowledge of God; the Psalm then saying this is planned so son {I Am: His presence in this moment manifested in the flesh He’s chosen} can be crowned by the Father with His understanding: revelation only known to the Father]; you crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him over the works of your hands:
8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we [in our blindness] see not yet [that] all things [are] put under him [not hearing and obeying this word as the Father’s voice, as it is].
9 But we [again] see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death [sent without understanding], [now, when we see Him again] crowned with glory and honor [raised to life by the light of the Father in him]; that he by the grace of God should taste death [and be raise from it] for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain [archegos – only used three other times; in Acts 3:15, speaking of the son as the “Prince” of life, who the religious and civil power denied, conspired against, and killed; Acts 5:31 as the risen “Prince” who is seated at the Father’s right hand {from where Habakkuk 3:4 says, in this writing, comes His hidden power as rays of light}; and Hebrews 12:2 saying He is “the Author and Finisher of our Faith”] of their salvation perfect [teleioo – made complete, filled full] through sufferings [the same affliction, tribulation, doubting the LORD is present, the daka’, that, through proof of him {I Am}, makes us ready, willing, to be quickened from corruption into life].
11 For both he that sanctifies [purges us from corruption, making us holy] and they who are sanctified [purged and made holy] are all of one [Body of Christ]: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare your name [identity] unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing [repeating the words You’ve given me] praise unto you.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me [when our mouth are opened with His words, are for signs and wonders to God’s people at large].
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he [the Father] also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death [coming lacking understanding] he might [self-manifesting His light, life, in the flesh, to] destroy him that had the power of [to deceive men into ignorance of God and to instead follow them into] death, that is, the devil [the misleaders who put themselves in His place];
15 And deliver them [the misled] who through fear of death [not understanding it is a state of mind], were all their lifetime subject to bondage [but you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free from death].
16 For truly he took not on him the nature of angels [a mere messenger given a message]; but he took on him the seed of Abraham [to which the LORD promised a son, an heir who would become as many as the sand of the shore and the stars of heaven].
17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren [born into dead flesh here in hell], that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted [to doubt the Father’s presence with in here in hell, to from it raise us], he is able to succor [rescue] them that are tempted [to doubt Him].

Psalms 8 
A Psalm of David
1 O LORD [Jehovah], our LORD [‘adown – our king], how excellent is your name [identity] in all the earth! who have set [Nathan – given] your glory [Your manifested presence] above the heavens [the places where understanding should be found].
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings [declaring Your word as You commanded, saying “Hosanna {save now}, Blessed is he who comes in the name {identity} of the LORD] have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still [shabath – sabbath: interrupting their work, putting them to silence so Your correction is heard above all other voices of] the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens [this understand Your given to us], the work of your fingers, the moon [just civil government; ruling as You rule, with truth and equal justice] and the stars [Your people in this new heaven, filled with Your light here on earth, wherein dwells righteousness], which you have ordained [kuwn – prepared, raised, and established];
4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit [paqad] him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than [chacer – lacking the understanding] the angels [‘elohiym – of God], and have crowned him with [Your] glory and [Your] honor.
6 You made him to have dominion [mashal – rule] over the works of your hands [referring to this light given from there]; you have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen [Your flock], yea, and the beasts of the field [the dead in the earth, those without Your Spirit];
8 The fowl of the air [those who, by your strength, rise into the place where understanding should be found], and the fish of the sea [the life unseen and found below the surface of the waters of the earth], and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas [man on his unknowing journey through generations].
9 O LORD our LORD, how excellent is your name [identity] in all the earth!

Did the LORD, as we have, unknowingly pass through generations, but unlike others, awaking (self-manifesting), finding himself in the fashion of a man, an iteration of human flesh, knowing His identity, humbled Himself and became a servant of no reputation, to do the work for which He understood He was sent (into this generation)? 

But who has believed our report, and to whom, thereby, is the arm of the LORD revealed?

Philippians 1
24 Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith [the realization the LORD is present in our flesh] ;
26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again [as His presence manifested].
27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition [the proof, our like mind evident in our conversation, communicating with the present LORD at His mercy seat, the sign of their perishing], but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ [the LORD manifested in our flesh], not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his [ONE BODY’s] sake [on His behalf, in His name: identity manifested in His word made flesh, for which we necessarily suffer];
30 Having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Philippians 2
1 If there be therefore any [ei tis – when a man] consolation [paraklesis – calls to you] in Christ [the LORD alive in my flesh], if any comfort [paramuthion – only appearing here, meaning this persuasive address] of love [agape – giving this word of the LORD as received], if any fellowship [koinania – joint participation] of the Spirit, if any bowels and [if in these is revealed the LORD’s] mercies,
2 Fulfil you my joy, that you be likeminded, having the same love [agape – giving the same word a received], being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name [Timothy – time of Theos] which is above every name: the word time {Tim} means “a value, i.e. money paid, or (concretely and collectively) valuables; by analogy, esteem (especially of the highest degree), or the dignity itself.” It is a name never given in my family. It is given by God {Theos}, intentionally telling of the “time” no man would know, and only my father knew. The LORD spoke of sending me long ago, revealing me in His time, this Day when His understanding covers the earth.]
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [Jehovah Salvation manifested in the flesh] is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed [in all ways obey], not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out [katergazomai – this is the LORD’s work in and through us: from the inside outward] your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputing:
15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights [understanding] in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause also do you joy, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the LORD Jesus to send Timotheus [Timothy – the time of God] shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state [when your obedience is fulfilled].
20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.

Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our report [shmuw’ah – who has heard these words as the voice of the LORD, as it is]? and to whom [but those who’ve heard it as such] is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him [paniym – into His presence manifested before the eye or the world] as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground [‘erets – the earth without this word of God]: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from [paniym – hiding His presence meant to be revealed in us, and will be when awakened by] him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not [remember the meaning of the name Timothy, the name of the highest esteemed of God].
4 Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised [daka’] for our iniquities: the chastisement [correction] of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray [into apostacy]; we have turned every one to his own way [forgetting the only way is the LORD’s]; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep [Rachel – her child whose birthright is the throne, traveling, journeying, through the generations] before her shearers is dumb, so he open not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment [as was Joseph, Rachel’s child]: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living [sent here into death and hell]: for the transgression of my people was he stricken [with them].
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise [daka’] him; he has put him to grief: when you [God’s people] shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he has poured out his soul unto [as a willing servant sent here into] death: and he was numbered with the transgressors [as I now Am]; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

SEE 3 – 6 March 2024 PART 2 OF 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 – 6 March 2024 PART 2 OF 2

Friends, the LORD’s plan, and everything He’s prepared and provided for its implementation have been here alone given. It is the good the world needs, which John speaks of in 1 John 3:17. It is God’s love (agape – charity) and (chayah) life (light – understanding) poured out through us to save the world. It’s the same we’ve heard from the beginning: that we should have this charity one toward another, and in this (sacrifice, bearing His cross), the world will know Christ, the Father alive in His children.

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 [again, now] 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 this 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 – have this charity, which will not fail] 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 hate 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’s 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 world needs], and sees his brother have 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 are 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].

The unforgivable sin is blaspheming (demonizing and vilifying) this work of the LORD unknown in us speaking to reveal Himself: His identity manifested, by declaration of His presence in us, as He is in me. It is logically so (unforgivable) because those that do so condemn themselves by their rejection and murder of (depriving of life) those they mislead into the same rejection.

1 Timothy 5
24 Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after [now revealed in the experience of these last days].
25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise [as now] cannot be hid.

1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke [joined here with the revealed LORD] count their own masters [despotes – to whom they are bound together] worthy of all honor, that the name [identity] of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our LORD Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strife of words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil surmising,
5 Perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw yourself.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But you, O man of God [I Am, Timothy, the title only appearing here in the New Testament], flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto you are also called, and have professed [homologeo] a good profession [homologia] before many witnesses.
13 I give you charge in the sight of God, who quickens all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession [homologia];
14 That you keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our LORD Jesus Christ:
15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and LORD of lords;
16 Who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded [thinking their wealth makes them superior], nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy;
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate [this good word of God];
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay [as I have] hold on eternal life.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust [this dispensation the Father has given me], avoiding profane and vain babblings [which have become the language of this generation], and oppositions of science falsely so called [antithesis gnosis pseudonumos – the arguments falsely named knowledge {anti-truth used against this truth of God}]:
21 Which some professing [epaggellos – announce themselves as if they are authors and finishers] have erred concerning the faith. Grace [this gift of salvation, from which these men have erred] be with you. Amen.

The word, above in verse 21, rendered “erred” is astocheo, a negative (opposite) of stoicheo (as in stoicheion, rendered elements, rudiments, and principles, meaning “something orderly in arrangement, i.e. (by implication) a serial (basal, fundamental, initial) constituent (literally), proposition (figuratively).”

It (astocheo) only appears two other times, both in Paul’s letters to Timothy, further describing the error of the wicked he speaks of above. The LORD, in these passages, speaks to us (here and now) of the errors of the corrupt church (the institution as a whole, without light, one body united in Babylon, their confusion that resulted from following the corruptors into death and hell).

In the first of these, 1 Timothy 1:6, the LORD’s commandment is to charge men that they teach no other doctrine nor heed fables (the creations of men’s imaginations).

1 Timothy 1
5 Now the end of the commandment [to obey and do] is charity [agape – giving as received, which is Christian love {Christ’s love in us to be given}] out of a pure heart [giving this word as received, without again adding corruption, by which we see God – Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.], and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned [anupokritos – without dissimulation, as in Romans 12:9 Let love {agape} be without dissimulation {anupokritos}. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.]:
6 From which some having swerved [astocheo] have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that you have heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit you to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 You therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh].
4 No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman [he that works in the earth] that labors must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and the LORD give you [first] understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead [the first- fruit, now, of the resurrection of the dead] according to my gospel:
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound [nor can any man shut what the LORD has now opened].
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not [He is resurrected in me], yet he abides faithful [in me]: he cannot deny himself. [I tell you the truth, I confess without fear, Jehovah’s Salvation, Jesus, is alive from the dead, Christ, in my flesh!]
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the LORD that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as does a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus [those who forbid your Joining with the LORD, in His ONE BODY, one flesh, as His only son, and forbidding this they hide behind the spurious mask of caring for your soul];
18 Who concerning the truth have erred [astocheo], saying that the resurrection is past already [the resurrection comes when you are freed from the lies of the false prophets and false teachers whose words and ways have carried Humanity into death and hell]; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation [I Am] of God stands sure, having this seal, The LORD knows them that are his. And, let every one that names the name of Christ depart from [purge out, incise, exercise, work out of yourself] iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these [the vessels of dishonor, in which remains the scum], he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified [made holy], and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful [childish] lusts: but [by this becoming men] follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the LORD [seeing Him] out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife [the way of the wicked, argument, continuously questioning with known lies and false accusation, intended to produce endless confusion].
24 And the servant of the LORD must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil [endless questioning, using lies and false accusation, even when known to be such – with intention, leading captive silly women who are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth], who are taken captive by him at his will.

2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such [devils taking you captive] turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses [against him casting down rods which turned to serpents, which Aaron’s rod, turned into a serpent, ate] so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith [false prophets with not a word of God in them, speaking their own words against the son of man God has sent to free His people from this oppression].
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the LORD delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them;
15 And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works [which is the good fight we fight].

2 Timothy 4
1 I charge you therefore before God, and the LORD Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch you in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.

Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit [the contrite, dakka’, crushing the spirit that’s in the world blinding it into ignorance of the Father’s presence]: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn [knowing the condition of this corrupt and fallen world]: for they shall be comforted [led into all truth].
5 Blessed are the meek [not using their power to destroy but to save]: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness [this correct interpretation]: for they shall be filled [perfected, by full understanding].
7 Blessed are the merciful [showing the Father’s mercy in His conversation through them]: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure [uncorrupted] in heart [in mind]: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers [teaching the LORD’s way into sustainable peace and security: the way to sustainable civilization that flows from Him through them]: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake [because you obey My commands].
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For truly I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness [correct, right, thinking] of the false teacher and false prophets in church and state, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 24
33 So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near [eggus – at hand], even at the doors.
34 Truly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 [The old and corrupt] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away [shall remain after the flood].
36 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father [alive in me] only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered [through the door mentioned in verse 33, seeing it is time to enter] into the ark [this place prepared and provided for our salvation, wherein the lies of the world are kept out: worked out as planned],
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Romans 10
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what says it? The word is nigh you [eggus – at hand], even in your mouth [from where He speaks], and in your heart [your like mind where He lives]: that is, the word of faith [believing he is alive in us and is the One speaking], which we preach [teaching others the way into life];
9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus [is alive in you, speaking this same word from His one mind], and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
10 For with the heart [the foundational mind, the good conscience] man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same LORD over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher [without you obeying and preaching this same word, following my example as I follow the LORD alive in me speaking]?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent [as I have been sent and now, in His name, send you]? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, LORD, who has believed our report [because He is only revealed to those who do believe it’s Him speaking]?
17 So then faith comes by hearing [His voice giving us understanding, which is the LORD proving Himself alive in us], and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes truly, their sound [this word] went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world [ending the old corrupt, beginning the new].
19 But I say, Did not Israel know [all God’s people who should know Him but fail to recognize His voice or His presence manifested]? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation [those who haven’t known me, but now hear My voice and obey my commands] I will anger you.
20 But Isaiah is very bold, and says, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21 But to Israel he says, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people [speaking against me, as in the temptation in the wilderness].

Hereafter, again, is the plan laid out in the uses of the word chayah (the quickening of the dead into life) in Psalms 119, all speaking of it coming by this word of God.

Psalms 119
17 Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live [chayah], and keep your word.
18 Open you my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.
19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not your commandments from me.

24 Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.
25 My soul cleaves unto the dust [the ruin of the earth, from where I Am created]: quicken [chayah] you me according to your word.

37 Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken [chayah] you me in your way.
38 Establish your word unto your servant, who is devoted to your fear.
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for your judgments are good.
40 Behold, I have longed after your precepts: quicken [chayah] me in your righteousness.

49 Remember the word unto your servant, upon which you have caused me to hope.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for your word has quickened [chayah] me.
51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from your law.

77 Let your tender mercies come unto me, that I may live [chayah]: for your law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in your precepts.

87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not your precepts.
88 Quicken [chayah] me after your lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of your mouth.
89 Forever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven.
90 Your faithfulness is unto all generations: you have established the earth, and it abides.
91 They continue this day according to your ordinances: for all are your servants.
92 Unless your law had been my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget your precepts: for with them you have quickened [chayah] me.

107 I am afflicted very much: quicken [chayah] me, O LORD, according unto your word.
108 Accept, I beseech you, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me your judgments.

115 Depart from me, you evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
116 Uphold me according unto your word, that I may live [chayah]: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

144 The righteousness of your testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live [chayah].

149 Hear my voice according unto your lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken [chayah] me according to your judgment.

154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken [chayah] me according to your word.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not your statutes.
156 Great are your tender mercies, O LORD: quicken [chayah] me according to your judgments.
157 Many are my persecutors and my enemies; yet do I not decline from your testimonies.
158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not your word.
159 Consider how I love your precepts: quicken [chayah] me, O LORD, according to your lovingkindness.

175 Let my soul live [chayah], and it shall praise you; and let your judgments help me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant; for I do not forget your commandments.

Psalms 74
1 O God, why have you cast us off forever? why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Remember your congregation [‘edah], which you have purchased of old; the rod of your inheritance, which you have redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein you have dwelt.
3 Lift up your feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy has done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Your enemies roar in the midst of your congregations [mow’ed – Your people gathered at this appointed time]; they set up their ensigns for signs [their fables, false interpretation, lying signs and wonders, the working of Satan].
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees [destroying the upright and all truth].
6 But now they break down the carved work [even their own creations in your sanctuary] thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 They have cast fire into your sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of your name [identity] to the ground.
8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues [mow’ed – Your gathered people in this appointed time] of God in the land [‘erets – on the earth].
9 We see not our signs [because all are blinded by the false teaching and false prophesies of the gods of this corrupt world]: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knows how long.
10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme your name [identity] forever?
11 Why withdraw you your hand, even your right hand? pluck it out of your bosom.
12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

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 – false 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 bringeth 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 [‘edah] of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Uphold me according unto your word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

29 February – 1 March 2024


Uphold me according unto your word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Friends, the LORD (Jehovah) has always existed and has always been here with man. He revealed Himself to man long before the Creation story and His written word through Moses.

The following is a synopsis of His early revelation of himself, as He’s shown it to me. In understanding it, never forget He is who He says He is, Almighty and in control of everything, while only altering the natural course as and when necessary to ensure the continuation of His children here with Him.

His original written narration of human history begins in the stars, explained therein by Him in the constellations’ names, given by Him, after the Genesis creation.

Remember the precious post, Jeremiah 33, telling us now is when God’s people again pass under the hand of the one who tells (manah) them these things, and then (now) we’ll see, understand, the same things written in Psalms 147.

Jeremiah 33 [From the previous post, today’s additions in double brackets]
12 Thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war]; Again in this place, which is desolate [as the earth that became without form, and void] without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down [by these still waters where there is rest].
13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin [this last generation, which, in this new creation, become the right hand of God], and in the places about [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah [My new crop of Godly leaders], shall the flocks pass [[‘abar – from death into life]] again under the hands [this work] of him that tells [manah – assessed and prepared as needed, by the Authority vested in me by My Father, doing His work for] them, says the LORD.
14 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel [all My people at large] and to the house of Judah [My chosen leaders].
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto [fruit] David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land [‘erets – the earth].
16 In those days shall Judah [the elect remnant] be saved, and [New Heavenly] Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness [this is a reference to Melchisedec, the king of righteousness, here, God’s children, in who His {Jehovah’s tsedeq} Righteousness dwells].
17 For thus says the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings [offering this word as fire from their mouths], and to kindle meat offerings [this deep understanding that produces strength and courage], and to do [this necessary] sacrifice continually.

Psalms 147
1 Praise you the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 The LORD does build up [New Heavenly] Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel [those scattered to the four winds, into His ONE BODY].
3 He heals the broken in heart [mind], and binds up their wounds [thereof].
4 He tells [manah] the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our LORD, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The LORD lifts up the meek [to inherit the earth]: he casts the wicked down to the ground [into the hell they choose].
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covers the heaven with clouds [where His understanding, after it left the earth, is reserved in separated element], who prepares rain [He causes the element to congeal, sending His word] for the earth, who makes grass to grow [new life on the earth on this third day of His new creation] upon the mountains [His governments in church and state].
9 He gives to the beast [without His Spirit, His mind, His thoughts] his food, and to the young ravens [those covered in darkness, who fly in the places where understanding should be found] which cry.
10 He delights not in the strength of the horse [who appear to be strong but are beasts without His Spirit]: he takes not pleasure in the legs [ways] of a man [which they think is their strength].
11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the LORD, O [New Heavenly] Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion [from where He reigns].
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates [to keep evil out]; he has blessed your children within you.
14 He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends forth his commandment upon earth: his word run very swiftly.
16 He gives snow [His word that was revered, frozen, in heaven] like wool [covering His sheep]: he scatters the hoarfrost like ashes [He disperses His understanding from His written word, releasing it in the trial by fire].
17 He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold [when understanding His word is kept back from the wicked]?
18 He sends out his word, and melts them [releasing their meaning, and melting away the corrupt elements of the world]: he causes his wind [His Almighty Spirit] to blow [moving upon the darkened deep understanding], and the waters flow.
19 He shows his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel [My people who receive MY promised end].
20 He has not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they [still] have not known them. Praise you the LORD.

Friends, as with Gideon, in the following truth, which the LORD will “uphold,” many will be offended and leave, lest the people say, “Because we are many, we have overthrown the enemies by our own strength.”

The Genesis creation speaks of the end of that age, when Egypt, given a limited understanding of God and Jehovah (who was unknown) was called Ra (the great light in heaven, the creator of all things), whose children were the Pharaohs (kings). That age became completely corrupted, as has the next (now ending), and destroyed itself after its leadership, as Babel, like now as Babylon trying to rocket into the heavens, in like manner became insanely delusional. Most of the early parts of Genesis speak of Egypt in multiple allegories.

The good news (the Gospel, the good spell of God) is, the understanding gained as that age ended, was seeded in those God chose to carry it forward, genetically hidden in our flesh minds. See Psalms 119:11 below, which says, “Your word have I hid in my heart [mind], that I might not sin against you.”

The word above rendered “hid” is said to be tsaphan, meaning “to hide (by covering over); by implication, to hoard or reserve; figuratively to deny; specifically (favorably) to protect, (unfavorably) to lurk.”

It (tsaphan) only appears once in Psalms 119, and its first and second uses (of thirty-two total), its only uses by Moses, come in Exodus 2:2 & 3, first speaking of when Moses’ mother “hid” him for three months; and then telling of when he could no longer be “hidden,” she put him in the ark (tebah), and sealed (pitched it) so none of the waters (corrupt words) of Egypt could enter.

As we’ve seen in previous posts, the passage in Exodus is the only other (two) times the word tebah is used outside telling of Noah’s “ark.” In exploring the deeper meaning in the word, we understand (because the LORD led us) it speaks of the preparation the LORD built before the eye of all, and none believed what it was until the flood came and took them all away.

This is the preparation hidden by the LORD in our minds, as described in Psalms 119:11. In this verse, in the letters added to the word (tsaphan + ty), the LORD alludes to the word tsaphiyth, meaning watchtower, which we understand speaks of seeing what is coming far off in the distance (the foreknowledge of God alone).

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shined in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

The title verse is Psalms 119:116, a Psalm that speaks of our life, the quicken programmed, engineered, into His written word, coinciding with truth seeded in our minds, producing thought that brings us, as and when necessary, to it (life), as Jehovah therein self-manifests His presence at His will (obediently) done in us.

The Psalm (119), the longest chapter in the Bible, has 176 verses, indexed into twenty-two groups of eight verses each, every verse in each group beginning with the corresponding sequential twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

The numbers 22 and 8 (double confusion, against which comes the double blessing upon Ephraim, producing the new creation, of heaven, earth, and man) refer us to only one place, Isaiah 61:7.

Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the LORD God is upon me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek [who shall inherit the earth]; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort [lead into all truth] all that mourn [and repent];
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might [in them] be glorified.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 But you shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God [from whom His word flows]: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you boast yourselves.
7 For your shame you shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion [inheritance]: therefore in their land [‘erets – the earth they inherit] they shall possess the double: everlasting joy [realizing the LORD with us, in us] shall be unto them.
8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD has blessed [Ephraim – meaning both double ruin and double blessing, an appellative of God’s people in this last generation].
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the LORD God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Psalms 119 speaks of the quickening of God’s people by His word, His law, His testimonies, which He prepared and protected from men’s inevitable corruption.

Psalms 119

44 So shall I keep your law continually forever and ever.
45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek your precepts.
46 I will speak of your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

72 The law of your mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
YOWD
73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.

83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes.
84 How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after your law.

Job 14
1 Man that is born of a woman [dead flesh without the Spirit of the LORD in him giving him life] is of few days and full of trouble.
2 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down: he flees also as a shadow, and continues not.
3 And do you open your eyes upon such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one [man].
5 Seeing his days are determined [charats – as in Daniel 9:26 & 27, speaking of when man ends his war against God, which war brings their desolation, when they are cut off (karath} from Messiah their sanctuary, “and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end {qets} of the war desolations are determined {charats},” and “for the overspreading of abominations {the things men put in God’s place and call by His name} he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation {kalah}, and that determined {charats} shall be poured upon the desolate.”], the number of his months are with you, you have appointed his bounds [choq – decreed end] that he cannot pass [‘abar – from death into life without You];
6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down [karath – cut off], that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9 Yet through the scent of water [perceiving the word of God is with them] it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10 But man dies, and [his flesh] wastes away: yea, man gives up the ghost, and where is he [all are ignorant that they go to hell]?
11 As the waters fail from the sea [when this word of God leaves humanity], and the flood decays and dries up:
12 So man lieth down, and rise not: till the [the old and corrupt] heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep [until corruption is removed].
13 O that you would hide [tsaphan] me in the grave [here in hell, sheol, where He has], that you would keep me secret, until your wrath be past, that you would appoint me a set time [choq – the decreed moment], and remember me [zakar – make me remember]!
14 If a man die, shall he live again? [make me remember that if a man dies, he shall live again, when] all the days of my appointed time [tsaba’ – when you gather me into your army, to the battle against evil] will I wait, till my change come [when this mortal puts on immortality, when corruption is removed, and I thereby find myself alive].
15 [Then] You shall call, and I will answer you [opening my mouth as You’ve commanded]: you will have a desire to the work of your hands [this new creation].
16 For now you number my steps: do you not watch over my sin?
17 My transgression [into corruption] is sealed up in a bag, and you sew up my iniquity.
18 And surely the mountains falling [your governments into apostasy] comes to naught, and the Rock is removed out of his place [into which men come].
19 The waters wear the stones: you wash away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and you destroy the hope of man [the worthless hope in men who’ve put themselves in God’s place].
20 You prevail forever against him, and he passes: you change his countenance, and send him away [into death and hell].
21 His sons come to honor, and he knows it not [that they have been born as dead flesh in hell]; and they are brought low, but he perceives it not of them.
22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his [ignorant] soul within him shall mourn.

The word tsaphan relates to understanding things hidden (by corruption, in man’s ignorance), and thereby preserved as treasures in the LORD’s armory (storehouse), which, when revealed, must be deployed as received, because in them alone is life and Salvation.

Friends, not to again digress, but in context, many of the “holier than thou” group (evil figs) are judging this work (of the LORD they’ve never known) as evil. Their judgment is projection (projecting on another what they themselves are guilty of. They do this as they judge themselves by their outward appearance, as they do those the LORD has purified inside, knowing the minds of His beloved.) it is this poor and evil judgment that dominates this earth covered in these same men’s ignorance of sound doctrine they reject.

Jeremiah 24
1 The LORD showed me, and, behold, two baskets [duwday – referring to the “mandrakes” of Song of Solomon 7:13] of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of false prophets that rule the world and carried all into confusion now turned mass delusion and insanity] had carried away captive Jeconiah [who Jehovah will there establish] the son of Jehoiakim [who Jehovah raises up from death and hell] king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon [this time when confusion rules the world, and none are certain of anything, while claiming their evil degenerate opinions are truth].
2 One basket [duwd] had very good figs [hearing the LORD’s voice and obeying His commands], even like the figs that are first ripe [the good fruit in this new creation]: and the other basket [duwd] had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
3 Then said the LORD unto me, What see you, Jeremiah [Jehovah rising, self-manifesting, to raise His people]? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
4 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans [where we are ruled by those who use their evil words as spells, to manipulate and control those they hold here in death and hell] for their good [to reserve and preserve us until this resurrection to life with Him].
6 For I will set my eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land [‘erets – this new earth]: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
7 And I will give them a heart [new mind] to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart [mind].
8 And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus says the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah [the fallen and disobedient who claim they’re the righteousness of Jehovah] the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth], and them that dwell in the land of Egypt [remaining with the oppressors, refusing to repent of their evil ways, of which they claim they are innocent]:
9 And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.
10 And I will send the sword [this word of God they reject], the famine [taking them further into their delusions by remaining without this word], and the pestilence [the dis-ease and plagues that follow], among them, till they be consumed [tamam] from off the land [‘erets – the earth] that I gave unto them and to their fathers.

Jeremiah 14
13 Then said I, Ah, LORD God! behold, the prophets say unto them, You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place [remaining in their sins, their old ways they corrupted].
14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of naught, and the deceit of their heart.
15 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land [‘erets – the earth]; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed [tamam].

Jeremiah 16
17 For my eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid [cathar] from my face [presence], neither is their iniquity hid [tsaphan] from my eyes.
18 And first [as I have] I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double [sending this double blessing upon the good figs]; because they [the evil figs] have defiled my land [‘erets – My earth], they [the evil figs] have filled my inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable things [they put in My place and call by My name].
19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction [tsarah – this tribulation], the Gentiles shall come unto you from the ends [the end of the old and the beginning of the new] of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?
21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name [identity] is The LORD.

Proverbs 27
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproaches me.
12 A prudent man foresees the evil, and hides [cathar] himself; but the simple pass on [remaining with the wicked], and are punished.
13 Take his garment [of evil] that is surety for a stranger [in which evil they, those who don’t know Me, trust], and take a pledge of him for a strange woman [the false rock, the unfaithful church, taking money from the simple].
14 He that [to extort the simple] blesses his friend [telling them they are good people, while they are in agreement with evil] with a loud voice, rising early in the morning [even after this light, understanding, has come], it shall be counted a curse to him.
15 A continual dripping [of wicked word] in a very rainy day [against this word, now when the LORD has sent it to give understanding to the simple minds] and a contentious woman [unfaithful church] are alike.
16 Whosoever hides [tsaphan] her [this truth] hides [tsaphan] the wind [the work, moving, of the LORD’s Spirit], and the ointment [shemem – anointing] of his right hand [by His work], which bewrayeth itself [and in holding these back, they betray their own souls].
17 Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance [paniym – his true presence, making souls aware of themselves in new garments] of his friend [as I do to those who are my Father’s friends, and thereby mine].
18 Whoso keeps [natsar – guards and protects, as an overseer: watchman] the fig tree [God’s people] shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waits on [shamar – keeps, guards, observes] his master [‘adown – king] shall be honored.
19 As in water [in this word of God] face [paniym – our inner presence] answers to face [paniym – to our current presence], so the heart [mind] of man [’adam] to man [‘adam].
20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied [even now when seeing these things plainly].

1 Corinthians 15
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit [bring the dead to life, making them aware of themselves].
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second [the new creation of] man is the LORD from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

Colossians 1
10 That you might walk worthy of the LORD unto all pleasing [doing His will, willingly obey His command to give this word, His word, as received], being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power [to change men’s minds and thereby quicken them into life], unto all patience and longsuffering [God in us not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance: the preparation to receive Him] with joyfulness [knowing we are laborers joined with the LORD alive in us];
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet [appropriately prepared] to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light [this Divine understanding]:
13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness [the ignorance of this totally corrupt and perishing world], and has translated us [methe – removed us from the old world] into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood [this necessary sacrifice, in us, the flesh He has prepared for Himself, to speaks His word as commanded], even the forgiveness of sins [the errors of ignorance]:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God [is the manifestation of Father in the son], the firstborn [brought from obscurity and declared in the world] of every creature [ktisis – meaning “original formation (properly, the act; by implication, the thing, literally or figuratively):–building, creation, creature, ordinance.”]: [John 1:10 He {God the Father, unknown as the Holy Spirit, to be revealed in the Son in this new creation} was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as {by their faith} received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name {His identity veiled in the flesh}: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of {the will of} God {by the His light, His understanding given in this manner, which quickens men’s minds into the same life}. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace {these treasures from heaven} and truth.]
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled [apokatallasso – speaking of the translation described in verse 13 above: here saying, apo: “taking away” the old; kata, by “bringing down” their power to deceive; allasso, and by doing so, “changed” us – allasso is the same change Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 15, saying “51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep {with dead minds}, but we shall all be changed {allasso}, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye {as stars of God rising with His light in our eyes}, at the last trump {now calling all to Gather to Join Him}: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed {allasso}. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is {by the opened mouths of His children} swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is your sting? O grave {hell}, where is your victory?”]

Song of Solomon 7
11 Come, my beloved [dowd – descriptive, appellative, of David and Timothy], let us go forth into the field [where His armory, storehouse, is – in the earth where the Father has planted us]; let us lodge in the villages [kaphar, from an identical word telling us this is the place where He covered us, preserves and kept us until this reconciliation and resurrection].
12 Let us get up [awaken to this truth] early to the [LORD’s] vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give you my loves [dowd – this understanding through the vine to which we are attached].
13 The mandrakes [duwday – this “basked” of fruit] give a smell [the LORD presence perceived in the fruit therein], and at our gates [entering His kingdom] are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up [tsaphan – have hidden these things, reserved] for you, O my beloved [dowd].

Song of Solomon 8
1 O that you were as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother [wisdom taught, of the ancient things reserved for this time of war]! when I should find you without, I would kiss you; yea, I should not be despised [by you, if you had the same upbringing as I].
2 I would lead you, and bring you into my mother’s [wisdom’s] house, who would instruct me: I would cause you to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
3 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up [‘uwr – opening the eyes], nor awake [‘uwr] my love, until he please [for your own sake].
5 Who is this that comes up [‘alah – rises] from the wilderness [where we unlearn the corrupt ways that brought us there], leaning upon [trusting] her beloved [dowd]? I raised you up [‘uwr – opened your eyes and awakened you from death] under the apple tree [tappuwach – by words fitly spoken, see the same word in Proverbs 25:11, saying, “A word fitly spoken is like apples {tappuwach} of gold in pictures {thoughts} of silver.”]: there your mother brought you forth [into life]: there she brought you forth that bare you.
6 Set me as a seal [chowtham] upon your heart [My signature pressed into your mind, by My authority alone], as a seal [chowtham] upon your arm [doing My work]: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave [sheol – hell]: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which has a most vehement flame.
7 Many waters [worthless word of men] cannot quench love, neither can the floods [of men’s words] drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love [of God which he alone gives as a gift to those of a pure mind], it [man’s bribe] would utterly be contemned.

Psalms 10
1 Why [mah – how] stand you afar off [rachowq – in this appointed time when the world is ruled by evil decree], O LORD? why hide you yourself in times of trouble [tsarah – this tribulation]?
2 The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor [those without worldly power]: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5 His ways are [to the wicked] always grievous; your [the LORD’s] judgments are far above [in the clouds] out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffs at them [sending His Spirit from His mouth].
6 He [the wicked] has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily [tsaphan] set against the poor.
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
10 He crouches, and [deceptively] humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides [cathar] his face [paniym – His presence]; he will never see it.
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.
13 Wherefore does the wicked contemn [scorn and mock] God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it.
14 You have seen it; for you behold mischief and spite, to requite it with your hand: the poor [without worldly power] commits himself unto you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till you find none.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land [‘erets – His new earth].
17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the [new] earth [‘erets] may no more oppress.
