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.
