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.
