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.
