Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

21 – 25 April 2024


Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

The above, from Isaiah 65:17, comes after the LORD says He is found by those who weren’t seeking Him, while at the same time the religious, who are seeking Him, but looking in the corrupt false teaching of the false prophets they follow and obey, are telling Him to stay away from them because He isn’t as holy as they are.

Matthew 7
20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
21 Not every one that says unto me, LORD, LORD, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many [doing their own will and refusing to do the Father’s] will say to me in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me [from the midst of My ONE BODY], you that work iniquity [scattering and misleading My people into death and hell].
24 Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a Rock [from whom this word of God flows]:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a Rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand [the ever-changing positions of men]:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes [who say they know the written word of God, while not knowing the Writer thereof].

Isaiah 65
11 But you are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop [the enemy army at war against Me], and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and you shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not hear [shama’ – meaning “to hear intelligently (often with implication of attention, obedience, etc.; causatively, to tell, etc.)”]; but did evil before my eyes, and did choose [your own ways] that wherein I delighted not.
13 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed:
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation [sheber – the destruction and affliction that comes from following false interpretations hidden behind a wall of lies] of [evil] spirit.
15 And you shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the LORD God shall slay you, and call his servants by another [new] name:
16 That he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles [tsarah – tribulation] are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes.
17 For, behold, I create [bara’ – after cutting down the old and corrupt] new heavens and a new earth [wherein dwell righteousness]: and the former [corruption] shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 But be you glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: for, behold, I create [New Heavenly] Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 And I will rejoice in [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

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 [who you are in Christ]:
2 That you may be mindful [remember] of the words which were spoken before by the holy [uncorrupted] prophets [who repeated my words as received], and of the commandment 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 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.
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 it has 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].

The “commandment,” from the Greek word entole, spoken of above in 2 Peter 3:2, is LORD thereby referring us to the same “commandment” given (to me) in 1 Timothy 6.

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 – given the same words] 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 [entole – the charge I have vowed to keep] without spot [unstained by men’s corruption], unrebukable, until the appearing [epiphaneia – the epiphany, the moment of realization, of the presence] 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 the authors and finishers] have erred concerning the faith. 

Hebrews 12
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded [to do God’s will, obey His commands, and seek peace with all men], And if so much as a beast [refusing His Spirit] touch the mountain [those without His correction, who attempt to come into His presence], it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [the kingdom of God, full understanding in His presence]:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made [the leaven, which, by the unfaithful, has been fully worked into the lump, corrupting it all], that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Hebrews 13
1 Let brotherly love [philadelphia – friendliness to brothers] continue [contrasted with Esau, the enemies mixed among us claiming to be friends and brothers while they war against us, seeking to destroy us, our culture, and our nation under God].
2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers [those whose word’s you don’t yet understand]: for thereby some have entertained angels [the messengers of God] unawares.
3 Remember them that are in bonds [bound to a charge], as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body [ONE BODY joined with them].
4 Marriage is honorable in all [joining into ONE BODY], and the bed undefiled [as did Reuben, who went into His father’s bed and defiled it, in the pattern of the sons of perdition who put themselves in God’s place and there oppose Him]: but whoremongers [who buy and sell the souls of men] and adulterers God will judge [those who’ve left Him to follow other men who’ve put themselves in His place].
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness [lust for what you don’t have]; and be content with such things as you have [pareimi – which is the LORD’s presence, His “coming” (parousia), with and in us]: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
6 So that we may boldly say, The LORD is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the [this] word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation [where we have now arrived, understanding on this third day, “forever” as below].
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines [of false teachers and false prophets]. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace [this gift, His treasure He has long suffered to make sure our understanding]; not with meats [not with things created by dead flesh], which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
10 We have an altar [that is undefiled by man], whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle [the old corrupt body, from where we must depart].
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify [separate us from the old body] the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate [into the wilderness].
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. [Psalms 69:9 For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproach you are fallen upon me.]
14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come [New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth, wherein dwells righteousness].
15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
16 But to do good and to communicate [freely giving this word of God as received] forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

When the LORD, in Hebrews 13:1, speaks of the philadelphia (brotherly love) continuing, He is referring us to its other (five) and its use as a proper name in Revelation 3:7.

Romans 12
9 Let love be without dissimulation [fraudulent, as is Esau’s toward us]. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned [philostorgos – friendly to those we call brethren] one to another with brotherly love [philadelphia]; in honor preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the LORD;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer [conversation with the LORD];
13 Distributing [this word received in the conversation] to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality [philonexia – the same word rendered “entertain strangers” in Hebrews 13:2, speaking of this before unheard word, not understood to be coming from Him through His messengers showing His friendship]. 

1 Thessalonians 4
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the LORD is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 For God has not called [kaleo] us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who has also given unto us his holy Spirit.
9 But as touching brotherly love [philadelphia] you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love [agapao – to give this word as received] one another.
10 And indeed you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia [held in the houses of dead flesh, the churches where they therein sleep]: but we beseech you, brethren, that you increase [in understanding] more and more;
11 And that you study to be quiet [stop your own worthless words, ignorance you’ve been taught by the dead, which teaching keeps the dead asleep], and to do [mind] your own business, and to work [this work of God] with your own hands [as His], as we commanded you;
12 That you may walk honestly toward them that are without [to help them come out of these tombs and into the light], and that you [as ONE BODY] may have lack of nothing.
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope [of the dead rising].
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring [to life] with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the LORD [speaking and working through us], that we [the elect remnant] which are alive and remain [who’ve survived the enemy attacks on our sound minds] unto the coming [parousia – the presence, referring to its uses in 2 Thessalonians 2: 8 & 9 below] of the LORD shall not prevent [phthano – refers us to its use in Matthew 12:28 and Luke 11:20 where the LORD tells of His “coming” when He has, by the finger of God, cast out Satan, the devils possessing] them which are asleep.
16 For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel [I Am, His messenger], and with the trump of God [this voice calling all to awaken and join Him in His ONE BODY]: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up [harpazo – as in Jude 1:23, shall be pulled from the fires] together [into His ONE BODY] with them in the clouds [into full understanding], to meet the LORD in the air [He has cleared of the smoke from the bottomless pit, the endless fall away from God, which darkened the sun: caused ignorance in the churches: as meal fully leavened by the unfaithful]: and so shall we ever be with the LORD.
18 Wherefore comfort [parakaleo – call alongside: the LORD unknown in you calling all into His ONE BODY] one another with these words [we are commanded by the Master to speak as received].

As we know, the wicked Paul later speaks in 2 Thessalonians 2, are those he also describes in 1 Thessalonians 2 and later in 2 Thessalonians 3. In the first, they are those he describes as Satan hindering him, the powers, not allowing this word received as God’s (by those who are thereby in the presence of the LORD Jesus Christ at His coming; parousia) to be spoken, revealing Him to those who don’t know Him. In the second, they are wicked and unreasonable men who refuse to give this word free course so it can be received as it has by those He now, thereby, dwells in and speaks through (unseen and unknown, as the Paraclete, the ONE alongside calling, long-suffering until He chooses to reveal Himself). He says we should pray, converse with the LORD, to be freed from these wicked men who are the mystery of iniquity already at work sitting in God’s place, doing the work of Satan, with lying signs and wonders misleading all into mass delusion; men he says are withholding and letting (katecho – to hold down) God’s people, keeping them from rising to meet the LORD (in the air cleared, when light is again seen, bringing them into full understanding: into heaven). He says these men, possessed by the spirit of Satan, will do so, sit in God’s place holding His people down, until they are (mesos) taken out of our midst (exercised from, worked out of, our minds by His word that effectually therein works).

Friends, I tell you the truth: the whole (now dead body of Christ) is leavened, meaning they are those who’ve put themselves in God’s place throughout history have corrupted all His word, which each interprets (believing they are awake, whose voices are the loudest), thinking they know the LORD but never have, and prove it by going their own way over and over again. I have no control over what men choose and will not force anyone to accept this message, but, by their choice (krisis – the decision they make) they will, judged by their words, live or remain dead (endlessly looking everywhere while seeing nothing, ever learning worthless things and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth: the knowledge of God). “For many are called [kletos], but few are chosen.”

1 Corinthians 1
9 God is faithful, by whom you were called [kaleo] unto the fellowship [koinonia – partnership: participation in His long-suffering] of his Son Jesus Christ our LORD. [Philippians 3: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship {koinonia} of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.]
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name [identity] of our LORD Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing [according to this word], and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

The word koinonia is (by Divine intention) a homophone (and synonym) with the Hebrew name Conaniah (Cononiah & Coniah; respectively a Levite ruler and the last of the enthroned kings, who also appears in Matthew’s lineage of Jesus), from the words kuwn and Jehovah, meaning Jehovah will establish (those who join Him in His long-suffering).

The word “chosen,” speaking of those to whom the LORD reveals Himself after His work unknown, is eklektos, the word also rendered “elect.” It (eklektos) is said to be from the words ek and lego, meaning through hearing this word as His word; lego meaning to “lay” forth, i.e. (figuratively) relate (in words (usually of systematic or set discourse)) by implication, to give meaning.

This preaching is the “entrance” Paul describes in 1 Thessalonians 2:1, from the five times used word eisodos (which comes after the exodus: departing those oppressing you by their corrupt teaching) and time in the wilderness (the time when LORD, through His chosen leader, with manna from heaven and water from His Rock, overwrites our minds replacing corruption with His righteousness). Paul, after telling of the entrance and those who receive his word as they are, from the LORD speaking directly to them through him (as the Paraclete, working unknown in this way, and speaking of reaching the promised expected end), through asking a question, tells them (as I tell you, those who’ve received this word as the word of God the Father) they are in the presence of the LORD Jesus Christ at His coming (parousia).

This sequence of events is the pattern of entering the LORD’s presence: into the Holy of Holies, seeing him hidden behind a veil of flesh, hearing Him at His mercy seat, as depicted by the cherubims face to face, and rising with their wings into full understanding: the joy of the giver and receiver when realizing we are in His presence manifested, in our flesh, in the conversation.

Friends, these are simple descriptions, only hidden in the blinding corruption men cultivated throughout history. They silenced this truth and replaced it with their own opinions they teach as doctrine, which brought forth the corrupt fruit of mass confusion, turned delusion, and now become the mass insanity by which wicked men, in church and state, rule the world.

Hear Him speaking, and, for good’s sake, obey Him.

Acts 13
23 Of this man’s seed has God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24 When John had first preached before his coming [eisodos] the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham [children born again into God’s promise to him], and whosoever among you fears God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27 For they that dwell at [old and corrupt] Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not [the LORD present veiled in his flesh], nor yet the voices of the prophets [through which He spoke of Himself coming in this way] which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him [as He foretold].
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate [in my time, Tom Fetzer and Robin Hayes] that he should be slain.
29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher [among the dead].
30 But God raised him from the dead:
31 And he was seen many days of them which came up [rose from their grave to life] with him from Galilee [His inner circle, who with me went through this full cycle] to [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, who [the elect who reach this entry, when opening their mouth and speaking this word as given] are his witnesses unto the people.
32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33 God has fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm [the Father here declaring us, His ONE BODY], “You are my Son, this day have I begotten you” [Hear Him].
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David [correcting us, and never leaving us].
35 Wherefore he says also in another psalm, You shall not suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption [in death, here and now in hell]:
37 But he, whom God raised again [from death and hell], saw no corruption.
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 past corruption raised into His righteousness], from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses [only by this long-suffering voice of the LORD heard and followed].
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, you despisers [of this truth], and wonder [not knowing what you are experiencing], and perish [in your own corruption]: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man [in whom I live] declare it unto you [as I Am].

1 Corinthians 1
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified [long-suffering, preaching a message the world thinks is foolishness, to save the wise and the world from their opinions], unto the Jews a stumbling-block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called [kletos – by the Paraclete, the LORD coming unknown to those ignorant of Him], both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God [in which He reveals Himself to His “chosen”].
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the LORD [see Jeremiah 9:24].

Jeremiah 9
20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces [of church and state], to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
22 Speak, Thus says the LORD, Even the carcasses of men shall fall as dung upon the open field [the now totally corrupt earth, where all but the elect are dead], and [the elect remnant only remain alive] as the handful after the harvestman, and none [none of the leaders, men sitting in seats of power, whose voices the dead follow] shall gather them.
23 Thus says the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands [my voice] and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says the LORD.

Before Paul speaks of the eisodos, in 1 Thessalonians 2:1, he describes it precisely, in 1 Thessalonians 1:9, to the Thessalonians (of Thessalonike); the name meaning they are those who’ve gotten the “victory over falsity;” now speaking of those who’ve gotten the victory over the false teaching of false prophets mixed among us. 

1 Thessalonians 1
4 Knowing, brethren beloved [agapao – to whom this word of the LORD has come], your election [ekloge – through this word, ek lego] of God.
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost [the Paraclete working among you unknown], and in much assurance; as you know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
6 And you became followers of us, and of the LORD, having received the word in much affliction [thlipsis – tribulation, as in Matthew 24:9, 21, & 29], with joy of the Holy Ghost [when you realized our preaching is the LORD present with us, in us].
7 So that you were examples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia [who were in the houses of dead flesh, in tribulation].
8 For from you [your opened mouths] sounded out the word of the LORD not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward [declaring His presence in this word heard as received] is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing [because you are speaking the same words you received from us: from Paul and now Timothy, I Am].
9 For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in [eisodos – preaching that culminates in realizing we are in the LORD’s presence] we had unto you, and how you turned to God from idols to [now] serve the living and true God [as I Am serving Him];
10 And to wait for [anemeno – only used here, and means to repeat the presence of] his Son from heaven [with full understanding], whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

1 Peter 1
2 Elect [eklektos] 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 [for this moment] 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 [this ‘achariyth, the foretold end of darkness, when the old heaven and earth end and are replaced with the new, wherein dwells righteousness].
6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations [that works into patience]:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see him not, yet believing [it is His presence manifested in our conversation], you [at this realization] rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory [His presence manifested in you as you speak this same word]:
9 Receiving the end of your faith [in His presence], even the salvation of your souls.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [this gift] that should come unto you:
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it [He] testified beforehand the [long-] sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost [the Paraclete, the LORD unknown speaking and working among us] sent down from heaven [with full understanding]; which things the angels [those given parts of the message] desire to look into.
13 Wherefore gird up the loins [prepare your inner man] of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace [this gift, from which comes salvation] that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which has called [kaleo] you is holy, so be you holy [without corruption] in all manner of conversation [in which the LORD’s presence is revealed];
16 Because it is written, Be you holy [in your conversation]; for I am holy.
17 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man’s work [whether redeeming and gathering by His words or scattering with their own], pass the time of your sojourning here [as pilgrims and strangers in the corrupt world] in fear:
18 Forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers [who taught you their degenerate corruption];
19 But with the precious blood [this necessary sacrifice to deliver the Father’s word while declaring it is His presence] of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who truly was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times [this ‘achariyth] for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren [philadelphia], see that you love [agapao – give this word as receive] one another with a pure heart [you minds without the former corruption, by which we see the LORD; Matthew 5:8, saying “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”] fervently [ektenos – ek tino, only appearing here, meaning through paying the necessary price, which is taking up His cross and following Him alone, out of corruption into understanding, out of death and hell into life and heaven]
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever.
24 For all [corruptible] flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away:
25 But the [uncorrupted] word of the LORD endures forever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

These last verses are quoted from Isaiah 40:6 – 8, words the LORD tells Isaiah to speak (and write). The same words the LORD tells Peter to repeat, whereby He invokes the words following.

Isaiah 40
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7 The grass withers, the flower fades: because the spirit of the LORD blows upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades: but the word of our God shall stand [uncorrupted] forever.
9 O Zion [a people not a place {as described in Hebrews 12 above}, from the words tsiyuwn {conspicuousness}, from tisyown {dry place, wilderness}; speaking of the people raised there to rule the world {the meek who inherit the earth; as in Matthew 5:5} as the LORD’s arm; this {conspicuousness} is what the LORD speaks of as the {shining city on a hill: his enlightened people: as in Matthew 5, see below], that bring good tidings, get you up into the high mountain [under the LORD’s rule, in His kingdom her on the earth]; O Jerusalem, that brings good tidings, lift up your voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
10 Behold, the LORD God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counselor has taught him?
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?

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 [as the Father commanded me], and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit [without worldly power or postion]: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn [for the earth become without form and void, when all understanding is darkened]: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek [not destroying as do the destroyers of the earth]: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers [teaching and preaching His ways of sustainable peace and security through mutual respect for the life, liberty, and property of all, through equal justice]: 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.
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 [God’s people] have lost his savor, 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 [understanding and life] of the world. A [conspicuous] city that is set on a hill [Zion] cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle [as I have enlightened you], and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light [this word, this understanding, this life] unto all that are in the house [all who are invited into the family of God, made His children by His correction].
16 Let your light so shine [as the sun rising, shining from east to west, this word the Father has given us to be given] 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 [obey and repeat this word] and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees [the religious who are now realized to be the darkened sun], you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses [Hebrews 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report {the Father testifying of them in His testimony, the shmuw’ah, that they believed Him, and did His will on earth} through faith, received not the promise: 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.], let us lay aside every weight [the burdens of men’s words], and the sin [missing the mark {of righteousness through faith}] which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy [the crowning that comes when God is seen in him] that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not you the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
6 For whom the LORD loves [agapao – shows charity] he chastens [corrects through the testimony He gives, through those He first gave His treasures], and scourges every son whom he receives.
7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not?
8 But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.

14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the LORD:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau [who became an enemy among us], who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For you know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming [parousia] of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together [episunagoge – only used here and in Hebrews 10:25 where we’re told not to forsake this {egkateleipo – meaning let this survive when all else doesn’t, as in Hebrews 13:5, when the LORD says he is the one who will remain when all others don’t} as do others; it means a complete collection] unto him,
2 That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away [apostasia – apostasy, defection from truth, standing away from God {because the fallen say they are holier than Him, as in Isaiah 65:5}, as in the bottomless pit John see in Revelation 9:2] first, and that man of sin be revealed [those putting themselves in the Father’s place, in the pattern of Rueben], the son of perdition [apoleia – as in 2 Peter 2:1, 2 & 3 & 3:7 & 16, as used in Revelation twice {in Revelation 17:8 & 11, which happen to the eighth church, who becomes part of Babylon {the mass confusion that rules the world} and ascended from the bottomless pit into perdition, which we’re told in 2 Peter 3:16 is the destruction that comes to the ignorant who wrestle with this word of God to their own “destruction”];
4 Who oppose and exalt himself [Satan in them working and speaking] above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God [as do the many antichrists among us, preaching and teaching their own ways and ideas in LORD’s name].
5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now you know what withholds [katecho – holds you, keeping God’s people from joining Him in His ONE BODY] that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work [these wicked men we’re already working, as Paul earlier describes in 1 Thessalonians 2, Satan working in them to keep this true word of God from being heard, as he also speaks of in 2 Thessalonians 3] only he who now lets [katecho – who were then holding God’s people down, oppressing them so the word of God wouldn’t have free course and be receives as His, as it is] will let [will hold you down], until he be taken out of the way [mesos – these men and their teaching taken out of our midst].
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume [as in Hebrews 12 above] with the spirit of [fire from] His mouth [shaking heaven and earth, so the wicked are shaken from them], and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming [parousia]:
9 Even him [the LORD], whose coming [parousia] is after the working of Satan [in wicked men] with all power [in church and state] and signs and lying wonders [which caused the apostasy and fool men into following them and not the LORD among us, who said “I will never leave you or forsake you”],
10 And [these wicked men] with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [And I must again here digress; I hear many people speaking of those they think are prophets because they saw this or that event occurring. These men are not prophets of God, and we know because they lack one thing, the knowledge of God. These are those bumbling about seeking what they will never find, never saying “Thus says the LORD” and, not knowing the time of their visitation, never speaking the words He here alone reveals. Thus says the LORD, “If they speak not according to this word there is no light in them.” They are those, too superstitious, Paul {the LORD in him} speaks to and of on Mars’ Hill.]
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie [believing their own opinions are truth, as they do: “I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.” Isaiah 66:4]:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called [kaleo] you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions [paradosis – transmitted, given as received, as in I Corinthians 11:2] which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our LORD Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which has loved [agapao – given His word to] us, and has given us everlasting consolation [paraklesis – from the Paraclete, the LORD working among us unknown] and good hope through grace [this gift],
17 Comfort [parakaleo] your hearts [continue His calling from your sound mind], and establish you in every good word and work.

1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby:
3 If so be you have tasted that the LORD is gracious.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen [eklektos] of God, and precious,
5 You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect [eklektos], precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen [eklektos] generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles [those who don’t know the LORD]: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation [episkope – the days of the Chief Overseer].

Above, Peter tells us (those who remain alive in this ‘achariyth, these last days) the one coming is (as I Am) one of God’s elect, joined with all His other elect in His ONE BODY.

Thus says the LORD:

Isaiah 32
9 Rise up, you women that are at ease [lukewarm church]; hear my voice, you careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
10 Many days and years shall you be troubled, you careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering [into MyONE BODY] shall not come.
11 Tremble, you women that are at ease; be troubled, you careless ones: strip you [from your sleep in death], and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
12 They [My children you refuse to nourish with My word] shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers [misleaders and deceivers]; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens [of beast without My Spirit] forever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19 When it shall hail [My word reserved in heaven for this timeof war, sent against the current crop of corrupt leaders], coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
20 Blessed are you that sow beside all waters [giving My word as received], that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass [doing My work in the earth].

Isaiah 33 
1 Woe to you that spoil, and you were not spoiled; and deal treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with you! when you shall cease to spoil, you shall be spoiled; and when you shall make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with you.
2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for [qavah – expected] you: be you their arm every morning, our salvation [yshuw’ah – Joshua: our Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh of His declared perpetual son] also in the time of trouble [trarah – this tribulation].
3 At the noise [qowl- the voice of Jehovah] of the tumult [hamown – the shout of His multitude] the people fled; at the lifting up [romemuth – only used here, meaning exaltation; the voice of the LORD raised above all others] of yourself the nations were scattered.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar [until nothing is left]: as the running to and fro [seeking the knowledge of the LORD] of locusts shall he run upon them [until none are left untouched by the understanding, wisdom, and knowledge they give as received].
5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwells on high: he has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability [‘emuwn – faithfulness and truth of His office as the Chief Overseer of the earth] of your times, and strength of salvation [yshuw’ah]: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

Revelation 3
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things says he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens;
8 I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews [who say they are the elect, “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is LORD of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen {eklektos}, and faithful.” Revelation 17:14], and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
10 Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation [when all doubt My presence], which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown.
12 Him that overcomes [the ignorance and confusion that rules the world] will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is New [Heavenly] Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
13 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
16 So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.
17 Because you [ignorant of your condition] say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you mayest be rich; and white raiment, that you mayest be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye-salve, that you mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.

Psalms 17
1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that go not out of feigned [deceiving] lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from your presence; let your eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 You have proved my heart; you have visited [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] me in the night; you have tried me, and shall find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in your paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon you, for you will hear me, O God: incline your ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Show your marvelous lovingkindness, O you that saves by your right hand them which put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is your sword:
14 From men which are your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold your face [presence] in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness.

And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes marveled, saying, “It was never so seen in Israel.”

17 – 19 April 2024

And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes marveled, saying, “It was never so seen in Israel.”

The word devil, above in Matthew 9:33, is daimonian, which is a derivative of the word daimon, meaning “from daio (to distribute fortunes); a dæmon or supernatural spirit (of a bad nature):–devil.”

Philippians 3
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk [peripateo] so as you have us for an example.
18 (For many walk [peripateo – their own way, after the flesh, seeking worldly fortunes], of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction [apoleia – perdition], whose [false] God [they call by His name] is their belly [like serpents and whales, their power is, with their open mouths, to consume lives and livelihoods and hold them therein], and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence [in the conversation with Him, through which we receive heavenly fortunes] also we look for the Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ:
21 Who [by the power of His word, His grace, the gift given, effectually working in us] shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue [hupotasso – bring into obedience] all things unto himself.

Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin [obeying erroneous teaching that blinds the dead and keeps them dumb], that grace may abound [continue to be given]?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? [1 Corinthians 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles {who don’t know the LORD} sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils {daimonion}, and not to God: and I would not that you should have fellowship with devils {daimonion}. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the LORD, and the cup of devils {daimonion}: you cannot be partakers of the LORD’s table, and of the table of devils {daimonion}.]
3 Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk [peripateo] in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together [into the new earth] in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in this new earth] in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man [obeying corruption] is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin [teaching that blinded the world and made all dead].
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he lives, he lives unto God.
11 Likewise reckon you also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our LORD.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof [seeking worldly fortunes, and not first the kingdom of God, His dominion].
13 Neither yield you your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto [doing the will of] God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law [as men have corrupted it], but under grace [this gift freely given].
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law [as some men teach], but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin [teaching that corrupts the mind] unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that you were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of [sound] doctrine which was delivered you [as received].
18 Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as you have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had you then in those things whereof you are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our LORD.

1 Timothy 3
14 These things write I unto you, hoping to come unto you shortly:
15 But if I tarry long, that you mayest know how you ought to behave yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was [is] manifest in the flesh [of those speaking His word and doing His work], justified in the Spirit [while working and speaking in this manner unknown], seen of angels [those who, by His purification, become His messengers giving His word as received], preached [by His messengers] unto the Gentiles [those who haven’t known Him as He is present in this manner speaking and working], believed on in the world [as He now is, after His word effectually worked in those receiving it as His presence], received up [Him and His word exalted] into glory [realized as Him present with us and in us].

1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly [rhetos – only used here meaning “out-spokenly, i.e. distinctly,” to express in words, as in the Hebrew word nagad discussed in the previous post, rendered “certify,” in 2 Samuel 15:28, meaning “to front, i.e. stand boldly out opposite; by implication (causatively), to manifest; figuratively, to announce (always by word of mouth to one present); specifically, to expose, predict, explain, praise.”] that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing [planos – wandering stars, deceivers in the darkness misleading] spirits, and [false] doctrines of devils [daimonion];
2 Speaking lies [pseudologos – only used here, meaning they are speaking {teaching} false doctrines {they were taught by devils}] in hypocrisy [hupokrisis – under condemnation, having made the wrong decision to remain chained in their own darkness, which, in Luke 12:1, is the leaven, corruption worked in by the religious powers, of which the LORD warned us to be-aware]; having their conscience [suneidesis – their “co-perception” {like mindedness with the LORD}] seared with a hot iron [kauteriazo – only used here, meaning “to brand (“cauterize”), i.e. (by implication) to render unsensitive (figuratively),” as bands refusing to be plucked {harpazo} from the fires];
3 Forbidding to marry [into the LORD’s ONE BODY], and commanding to abstain from meats [this deep understanding sent to strengthens us to life and pull us from the fires], which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe [it is Him speaking] and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [the four times used word ktisma, rendered “creature,” speaks of those created by receiving this word as the word of God, by receiving it as such and knowing the truth, as it is, as written in James 1:18, saying “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures {ktisma}.]
5 For it is sanctified [made holy, separated from corruption for His work] by the word of God and prayer.
6 If you put the brethren in remembrance of these things, you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto you have attained.

James 1
12 Blessed is the man that endures temptation [to not believe the LORD is present with us]: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the LORD has promised to them that love him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust has conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness [by which you will inherit the earth] the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholds himself, and goes his [own] way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seems to be religious, and bridles not his tongue [refusing to subordinate his words to those the LORD has given us, to give them as received], but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction [in this tribulation rescue those without a man to lead and protect them from the wicked who seek to devourer them with their ever open mouth], and to keep himself unspotted [uncorrupted] from the world.

1 Timothy 4
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself [working them out of your minds] rather unto godliness.
8 For bodily exercise profits little: but godliness [the mystery of which is revealed in 1 Timothy 3:16 above] is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come [now in this new creation].
9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10 For therefore we both labor [speaking His word as commanded] and suffer reproach [because we declare it is not only His but Him manifesting His presence in our flesh], because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, specially of those that believe [He is alive in us].
11 These things command and teach.
12 Let no man despise your youth [when I was a child, before I put away childish things and became a man: the first-fruit of God’s new creation]; but be you an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in you, which was given you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them; that your profiting may appear to all.
16 Take heed unto yourself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this you shall both save yourself, and them that hear [the LORD speaking in] you.

The word ktisma, above speaking of the new creation of man, by divine intention, bears an affinity to two once used Greek words, chasma and its presumed derivative ketos, and also the Hebrew word tsama’ (to thirst).

As we’ve seen in many previous posts, the word chasma (in Luke 16:26) is the great “gulf” between heaven and hell, which Abraham tells the rich man none can cross, because they will not believe, even though one has risen from death in their hell to warn them.

Likewise, we know, the word ketos is the word (in Matthew 12:40) rendered “whale’s” belly, which Jonah, in Jonah 2:2, calls “the belly of hell,” and the LORD calls “the belly of the earth” where He will be until He is again seen by those who repent of their corruption and receive Him as the living word of God, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in what was before, without Him, dead flesh.

Likewise, these both (chasma and ketos) speak of the open mouths of men, with which they swallow (devour) men, and, as the gates of hell, hold them there in death’s sleep. It is into this place, the ruin of the earth become without form and void, confusion and emptiness, when the deep is darkened, the LORD comes to move us into light and new life.

Here’s the plan:

Matthew 16
12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees [the religious powers, some believing in the resurrection and some not believing].
13 When Jesus came into the coasts [meros – the division] of Caesarea [to sever from the corrupt] Philippi [His friends who’ve become the white, purified, horse in whom He rides into the battle at hand], he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man Am?
14 And they said, Some [that believe in resurrection] say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 He says unto them, But whom say you that I Am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona [son of Jonah, the first to see the LORD and, with Him, rise from the belly of hell]: for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock [from where My word flows, and the Father’s presence is declared in the son] I will build my church [My ONE BODY]; and the gates of hell [the mouths of men uncontrollably spewing corruption] shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto you the keys [kleis – confessing the Father’s presence, speaking and working in our flesh] of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem [preaching and teaching the Father’s words, which flow from Him the ways of sustainable peace: reciprocal security in life, liberty, and property], and [declaring the Father’s presence in me] suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed [as they did], and be raised again the third day [as I Am].

The other five uses of the word kleis (keys) describe what is “bound” in and “loosed” from the belly of the earth into heaven. It is the knowledge of God, bound and held in hell by those now themselves bound and held there when it is loosed.

Luke 11
52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key [kleis] of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye [with your corrupt judgment and misleading interpretations of law] hindered.

These types of men are the “dragon” of John’s Revelation, from the Greek drakon, a word with meaning and origin (bound in men’s ignorance) now, in the LORD’s kingdom, revealed (loosed) in this new earth as it is in heaven. The word rendered “fish” three times in Jonah, is dag (da’g), and the word rendered “fish’s” belly is dagah, words that are also the origin of the name Dagon (dagown – fish god), an idol worshipped by the Philistines, the invading enemy army now mixed among us.

The name Dagon only appears thirteen times, all describing the pattern of these men’s evil deeds: the confusion (insanity) they worship and teach.

Judges 15
14 And when he came unto Lehi [the jaw – the place where God people’s mouths are opened], the Philistines [the enemy army] shouted against him [against God’s people, and those teaching them strength through knowledge of God]: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire [the word of God from their mouth], and his bands loosed from off his hands.
15 And he found a new jawbone [a voice that would be wounded] of an ass [the same as of Zechariah 9:9, upon which the LORD enters Jerusalem, His elect remnant, who, in Zachariah 10:3, when raise again become His goodly horse in the battle], and put forth his hand, and took it [as one stick in his hand], and slew a thousand men therewith.
16 And Samson [who is like the sun, the church] said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end [kalah] of speaking [became silent], that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand [as casting away the scepter to rule], and called that place Ramathlehi [referring us to Jeremiah 31:15, and Ramah, where Rachel’s voice is heard mourning her children, “because they were not,” meaning they remained asleep, in an endless fall into corruption without the LORD’s word in their mouths.]
18 And he was sore athirst [tsama’ – held in the whale’s belly without the LORD’s word], and called on the LORD [as did Jonah out of the belly of hell], and said, You have given this great deliverance into the hand of your servant: and now shall I die for thirst [tsama’], and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised [dead flesh without your Holy Spirit]?
19 But God clave a hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came [living] water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he [the church: like the sun returning after a time of darkness] revived [chayah – was brought to life again from the dead]: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore [fountain of the One calling him to life], which is in Lehi [salvation by confessing the LORD presence in us – life which is as near as the word heard from our mouths] unto this day.
20 And he [Samson] judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.

Judges 16
16 And it came to pass, when she [Delilah – from the eight times used word dalal, meaning to languish and become feeble, when dried up, without the word of God] pressed [tsuwq – oppressed] him [the strength, light, of the church – Samson, who is like the sun] daily with her [own] words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed [qatsar – curtailed, reaped] unto death;
17 That he told [nagad] her all his heart, and said unto her, There has not come a razor [mowrah] upon my head; for I have been a Nazarite [naziyr] unto God from my mother’s womb: if I be shaven [qalach], then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.

The words used in these two verses tell us what is actually occurring here in patterns we thereby understand. They reveal a pattern of Joseph, who, after he told (nagad – declaring the vision God gave him, boldly standing, manifesting the LORD’s presence to) his brothers (Genesis 37:5) of his dream, was hated for it, and separated from them.

The word naziyr first appears in Genesis 49:26 (rendered “him that was separated from”), a chapter in which Jacob “tells” (nagad) his children what shall befall (qara’) them in these last days (‘achariyth).

Genesis 49

18 (I have waited for [qavah – expected] your salvation [yshuw’ah – Joshua, Jesus, the child of Joseph], O LORD.)

22 Joseph is a fruitful bough [parah ben – fruitful son], even a fruitful bough [parah ben – fruitful son] by a well [a tree of life by these waters of God]; whose branches run over the wall [the wall of lies men have created and teach]:
23 The archers [ba’al – the gods, lords of this world, whose teaching has blinded all from seeing the Father, in the son, the seed of the women who brings forth the man child – see Revelation 12:17] have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of your father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless [barak] you with blessings [brakah] of heaven above, blessings [brakah] of the deep that lies under [the deep meaning that lies below the surface], blessings [brakah] of the breasts, and of the womb [seed, the son]:
26 The blessings [brakah] of your father have prevailed above the blessings [brakah] of my progenitors [all those who have come before us, and were only blessed with part of what is perfected in our return to the LORD] unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they [these blessings] shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from [naziyr] his brethren.
27 Benjamin [the last child born through the LORD’s blessing upon Shiloh, the seed of Joseph – the right hand of God’s power] shall ravin as a wolf [shall tear in pieces the wolf that has scattered the one flock]: in the morning he shall devour [‘akal – with this word of understanding the LORD with us has given him] the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. [These last words refer us to Maher-shalal-hash-baz, the son spoken of in the beginning of Isaiah 8, his name meaning he hastes to the spoil and is quick to the prey. He is the son, foretold as coming through the virgin, later called Immanuel, as the advice, teaching, of the LORD comes, when men have formed a confederacy listening to the dead gods of the world.]

The word mowrah, only used three times, in its other appearances, comes as women commit their yet conceived children (Samson and Samuel) to the LORD, saying it (mowrah) will not come upon their head. It (mowrah) is said to be from the word mowra’, meaning “fear, by implication a fearful thing or deed,” and said to be from yare’, meaning the same. These words tell us of strength removed by fearing (revering) men above God, as seduction by which we leave Him to drink what flows from them.

This is a commitment I have made, to not listen and obey anyone telling of what we should look for or who we should look to to understand this ‘achariyth (these last days). I believe in the living God, alive with me, in me, who tells me all I need, which only He knows. And I ask, why do any look for another?

Isaiah 8
12 Say you not, A confederacy [of the corrupt, who commend each other for believing the same falsehoods covered in equivocations, fables created and taught during their endless fall away from God in the bottomless pit], to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear [yare’] you their fear [mowra’], nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear [mowra’], and let him be your dread.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them [that are confederate with the communists in power in church and state] shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal [chatham] the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides his face [paniym – His presence] from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts [a man of war], which dwells in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits [of the known dead], and unto wizards [so-called experts] that peep, and that mutter [the ways of insanity and death]: should not a people seek unto their God? [should they be looking] for the living to the dead?
20 [shouldn’t they be looking] To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light [understanding, which is life] in them.

Judges 13
17 And Manoah [what rest? the father of Samson] said unto the angel of the LORD, What is your name, that when your sayings come to pass we may do you honor?
18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why ask you thus after my name, seeing it is secret [pil’iy, only appearing elsewhere in Psalms 139:6]?

Isaiah 9
5 For every battle of the warrior [I Am, a man of war] is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

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.
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 that labors must be first partaker of the fruits [of understanding].
7 Consider what I say; and the LORD give you understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David [the seed of Joseph] was raised [in me, Timothy, a man of God and His man of war] from 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.
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, yet he abides faithful: he cannot deny himself [alive in me, which I declare without equivocation].
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the LORD that they strive not about [their own worthless] 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.

1 Timothy 4
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in you, which was given you by prophecy [these things the LORD spoke of me through His prophets], with the laying on [epithesis – Divine imposition of this understanding] of the hands of the presbytery [by the work of these elders].
15 Meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them; that your profiting may appear to all.
16 Take heed unto yourself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this you shall both save yourself, and them that hear you [hear and obey the Father speaking through His declared son who declares Him].

Psalms 139
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful [pil’iy] for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it [because it can only be revealed by You].
7 Whither shall I go from your spirit? or whither shall I flee from your presence [paniym]?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed [and sleep here] in hell, behold, you are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts [‘achariyth – in these last days] of the sea [of this last generation that become the first];
10 Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness [men’s ignorance] shall cover me [shuwph – bruise my heal, while I with my heal bruise the head of the serpent]; even the night [understanding the cause of their ignorance] shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you [and heaven and hell occupy the same space and time, between which there remains a great gulf, which no man, going his own way, relying on his own corrupt understanding, can cross but by following the one among them, risen from the dead].
13 For you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well [understanding life and death].
15 My substance [the flesh in which my soul dwells] was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth [here in hell].
16 Your eyes did see my substance [when my flesh was dead without your light, knowing you sent me lacking light, and planned to crown me with it], yet being unperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance [yown – in the day, when understanding came as light] were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them [when the elements of understanding remained therein uncongealed].
17 How precious also are your thoughts [these treasures, your grace] unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake [from death, my sleep in hell], I Am still with you.
19 Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, you bloody men.
20 For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate you? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against you?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Judges 16
18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he has shown me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
20 And she said, The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist [knew] not that the LORD was departed from him.
21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza [the powers of church and state], and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
22 Howbeit the hair of his head [the understanding in his head manifested outwardly] began to grow again after he was shaven.
23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon [the fish god – below the surface of the waters, word wherein their evil is hidden: as serpents and whales, men whose wide open mouths devour and swallow all who listen and follow their evil misleading of] their god [who is their belly], and to rejoice: for they said, Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.
25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport [act the fool and be mocked]. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.
26 And Samson said unto the lad [the one whose name is a secret] that held him by the hand, Suffer [nuwach – rest, during the time of separation] me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house stands, that I may lean upon them.
27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O LORD God, remember me, I pray you, and strengthen me, I pray you, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars [confusion and lies] upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.

Revelation 18
1 And after these things I saw another angel [a messenger manifesting the LORD’s presence in the message: the conversation above His mercy seat] come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened [given understanding] with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon [the confusion and the insane that now rule the old and corrupt world] the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils [daimon], and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations [who don’t know the present LORD] have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication [intercourse with her idols, who are men who’ve put themselves in God’s place and sit as kings of the earth], and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies [using her same spells, words meant to mislead and manipulate, mass marketing, to sell their wares].
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she has filled fill to her double.
7 How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen [fornicating with all the kings of the earth], and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the LORD God who judges her.

1 Samuel 5
1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer [the stone of help – the rock from which the living waters flow] unto Ashdod [the powers in church and state].
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon’s house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.

Please suffer my foolishness a little longer while I again digress: I had a dream last night in which I was walking through a forest, and everywhere I turned there were different types of serpents. I, at every meeting, avoided them. I then reached my house and thought I was safe until I, in my bedroom, encountered another. With my left hand, I grabbed this one behind its head, and it immediately bit my hand and wouldn’t let go. So, I grabbed it with my right hand, pulled it loose, and it bit that hand. Because it wouldn’t let go, I bent over, put my foot on its head, pulled my hand free, and killed it by crushing its head under my heel. I waited, not knowing if it was venomous, to see if I experienced any effect from the bites, and I didn’t.

I didn’t remember that dream until after I wrote the above, and when it came to mind, I realized its relevance.

The following is from the post of 18 May 2021:

Revelation 11
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our LORD, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give you thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which are, and were, and are to come; because you have taken to you your great power, and have reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and your wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that you should give reward unto your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear your name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightning, and voices, and thundering, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Zechariah 2
…flee from the land of the north [the darkness of ignorance], says the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, says the LORD.
7 Deliver yourself, O Zion, that dwell with the daughter of Babylon [confusion now turned mass delusion].
8 For thus says the LORD of hosts; After the glory has he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that touches you touches the apple of his eye.
9 For, behold, I will shake my hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the LORD.
11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you.
12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation [in His people].

2 Chronicles 5
1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.
2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.
4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.
5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:
8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
9 And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.
10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
11 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:
12 Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)
13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, “For he is good; for his mercy endures forever:” that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;
14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.

Friends, these are patterns written for our understanding. The message above is of one voice, heard from the LORD through His people speaking this word, as received directly from Him. It’s now that all God’s people should proclaim His presence and His wrath against the deceivers mixed among us, misleading the blind world into self-destruction.

The Hebrew word rendered “ark” is ‘arown, “from 717 (in the sense of gathering); a box.” The word it’s from (#717) is ‘arah, meaning “to pluck:–gather, pluck,” which only appears twice, Psalms 80:12 & Song of Solomon 5:1. The LORD intends to, in these two uses, give us an understanding that the ark of the testament, the LORD’s testimony from the oracle, above the mercy-seat, face to face, is to gather us, return us to Himself, by His shinning upon and through us His glory.

In Song of Solomon 5, Solomon begins, speaking of the garden (gan) into which the LORD has come and made it again as the garden of Eden, where He with us walks. It’s in this context He says in Isaiah 58:11, “And the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden [gan], and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.”

Isaiah 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet [this word of God, the sword of the LORD], and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and you see not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors.
4 Behold, you fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: you shall not fast as you do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high [the fast is to be silent, so the LORD is heard].
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal your bread [this word of God through you] to the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house? when you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you hide not yourself from your own flesh?
8 Then shall your light [understanding] break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily: and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your reward.
9 Then shall you call, and the LORD shall answer; you shall cry, and he shall say, Here I AM. If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light rise in obscurity, and your darkness be as the noon day:
11 And the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden [gan], and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shall honor him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:
14 Then shall you delight yourself in the LORD; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.

Song of Solomon 5
1 I am come into my garden [gan], my sister, my spouse: I have gathered [‘arah] my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
2 I sleep, but my heart wakes: it is the voice of my beloved that knocks, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks [[as Samson’s]] with the drops of the night [[this word from hevan sent in this time of darkness]].
3 I have put off my coat [[spotted by dead flesh]]; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet [[of the corruption picked in our journey through time]]; how shall I defile them?
4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.
5 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spoke: 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 from me.
8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him, that I am sick of love.
9 What is your beloved more than another beloved, O you fairest among women? what is your beloved more than another beloved, that you do so charge us?
10 My beloved is white and ruddy, the chief among ten thousand.
11 His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
12 His eyes are as the eyes of doves [[knowing this is the expected end reached]] by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
13 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
14 His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
15 His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16 His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Psalms 80
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that leads Joseph like a flock; you that dwell between the cherubims [hearing His voice speaking], shine forth.
2 Before [paniym – Your presence with] Ephraim [those upon whom this second blessing, fruitfulness, has come] and Benjamin [who have become Your right hand, Your power] and Manasseh [those who’ve forgotten God] stir up your strength, and come and save us.
3 Turn us again [shuwb], O God, and cause your face [paniym – presence] to shine; and we shall be saved.
4 O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
5 You feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.
6 You make us a strife unto our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Turn us again [shuwb], O God of hosts, and cause your face [paniym – presence] to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 You prepared room before it [paniym – by Your presence], and did cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12 Why have you then broken down her hedges [remove the protection of the garden], so that all they which pass by [‘abar – which reject the LORD’s message [[who think they can pass from death into life, from hell into heaven, hereby]]] the way [and destroy the ordered way] do pluck her [[[‘arah]] gather her fruit]? [[what rest? Leviticus 25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard. 5 That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed {naziyr – during the time of His separation}: for it is a year of rest unto the land. Numbers 6: And this is the law of the Nazarite {naziyr}, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:]]
13 The boar out of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it [the fruitfulness].
14 Return [shuwb], we beseech you, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 And the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and the branch that you made strong for yourself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of your countenance [paniym – presence].
17 Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, upon the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
18 So will not we go back from you: quicken us, and we will call upon your name.
19 Turn us again [shuwb], O LORD God of hosts, cause your face [paniym – presence] to shine; and we shall be saved.

When the above speaks of the Shepherd who leads Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh) like a flock, it refers to what is written of the same in Genesis 49, of the House of David, who we know is actually a son of Joseph, his family dwelling in Judah.

Psalms 132
1 LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
2 How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah [where Rachel, mother of Joseph and Benjamin {Ephraim and Judah} is buried: the name {Ephratah or Ephrath} of Caleb’s wife, from where BethlehemJudah-Ephratah, derives its name – the same as Ephraim, both meaning fruitfulness]: we found it in the fields of the wood [where we dug into the deep].
7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
8 Arise, O LORD, into your rest; you, and the ark of your strength.
9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints shout for joy.
10 For your servant David’s sake turn not away the face of your anointed.
11 The LORD has sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of your body will I set upon your throne.
12 If your children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon your throne for evermore.
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation.
14 This is my rest forever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

13 – 16 April 2024

The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

Today’s title, from Amos 1:2, is the LORD speaking to His people and those who’ve led them into rebellion against Him. In chapters 1 & 2, in doing so, to preserve its deep meaning until this time of war, He uses proper names defining their offenses and conditions.

In eight instances throughout these two chapters, using different names, He uses the phrase “For three transgressions of [name], and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because…” In none of these, in the original text, does the word “punishment” appear.

The eight, five in the first chapter and three in the second, for which the LORD will not turn away, lead to His appearing, as earlier spoken of in the title verse and later in Amos 3:2 & 14, and 4:12. It is in Amos 3:2 & 14, the word paqad appears (rendered respectively “punish” and “visit”) a Hebrew word we well know speaks of the LORD “visiting His people” as the Chief Oversee (Watchman and Good Shepherd) of the earth, to restore its good foundations.

The following, ending with Psalms 82, is from the post of 30 May 2021 (with today’s additions in double brackets).

The lion has roared, who will not fear? the LORD God has spoken, who can but prophesy [[who can do anything but speak His words He’s given us to be spoken]]?

The above is the LORD speaking to His people, after the last trumpet has blown, amid the battle of Armageddon, of which His people are deaf and blind. The chapter, Amos 3, says He is here to punish them (those who misled them into ignorance) and publishes this in the palaces of Ashdod and Egypt: who store up violence and robbery.

As we’ve seen in previous posts, verse 3 tells of the two walking together, asking can they do this, “except they be agreed.” The word “agreed” is the Hebrew word ya’ad, meaning “to fix upon (by agreement or appointment); by implication, to meet (at a stated time), to summon (to trial), to direct (in a certain quarter or position), to engage (for marriage).”

The Greek word Armageddon is “of Hebrew origin (2022 [har – mountain] and 4023 [Megiddown – a rendezvous]); Armageddon (or Har-Meggiddon), a symbolic name.” Megiddown is derived from the word gadad, meaning “to crowd; also to gash (as if by pressing into).”

These meanings are seen in what is published against palaces, verse 9 saying, “Publish in the palaces at Ashdod [powerful – who are ravaging God’s people], and in the palaces in the land of Egypt [the oppressors], and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains [har] of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.”

Now I, in the name of Jehovah, the LORD God Almighty, tell you this is Armageddon, and only those receiving (accepting) this message will be plucked from the fires.

The fires are spoken of, in verse 15, as the winter house, which describes the time of darkened days, when the fire continually burned in the palaces. The LORD says He will smite this house with the summer house, which tells of brighter days when the winds blow (His Spirit – working and moving, while His identity is unknown) through the open palaces. He says, “and the houses of ivory (shen – tooth) shall perish, and the great (rag – many) houses shall have an end:” speaking of ending the powerful who’ve caused the darkness and divisions among His people.

These aspects are then given detail in chapter 4, verse 6 using the word shen to tell of the famine for hearing the word of God, and verse 11 speaking of the LORD plucking some from the fire (when He overturned the world, as He did Sodom {burning} and Gomorrah {ruin}). The word “plucked” is the Hebrew word natsal, which we’ve discussed in the previous post as the equivalent of the Greek word harpazo (the word twisted into the false rapture doctrine). These two verses end identically, speaking of the LORD’s mission, in me, saying I have shown you these secret things plainly, “yet have you not returned [shuwb] unto Me, says the LORD.”

The rendezvous, our agreed meeting, is then spoken of in verses 12 & 13, when His identity is known. In the name of Jehovah I say, I Am the presence of the LORD of the Army of heaven, therefore prepare to meet your God, He that forms the mountains (har), and creates (bara’) the wind (His Spirit in man), and declares unto man what are His thoughts, that makes the morning darkness (in understanding rising and the ignorance of man is made apparent), and treads upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.

Exodus 34
5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
9 And he said, If now I have found grace in your sight, O LORD, let my LORD, I pray you, go among us; for it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.
10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been done [bara’ – created [[after I cut down the corrupt]]] in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which you are shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with you.

Exodus 15
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host has he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Your right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: your right hand, O LORD, has dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of your excellency you have overthrown them that rose up against you: you sent forth your wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed [[the individual elements of understanding came together]] in the heart of the sea [[in the minds of My people at large]].
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 You did blow with your wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto you, O LORD, among the gods? who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 You in your mercy have led forth the people which you have redeemed: you have guided them in your strength unto your holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina [the invaders in our midst].
15 Then the dukes of Edom [enemies mixed among us] shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab [whose mouth are the gates of hell], trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan [who’ve made merchandise of God’s people] shall melt away.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm they shall be as still as a stone; till your people pass over [[‘abar – from death into life]], O LORD, till the people pass over [[‘abar – from death into life]], which you have purchased.
17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which you have made for you to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which your hands have established.
18 The LORD shall reign forever and ever.

Revelation 16
15 Behold, I come as a thief [[unknown in the darkness of men’s ignorance, to retake the minds of My people]]. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon [the mountain of this appointed time].
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air [[to clear it of the smoke from the bottomless pit, the endless fall away from God that darkens it {the air men breathe in} and the sun: the church]]; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done.”
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightning; and there was a great earthquake [[as in the days of Uzziah, as written in Amos 1:1 and Zechariah 14:5 when the LORD comes with all His saints]], such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail [the Word of God, which has been frozen in the cloud, reserved there and is now sent from there] and out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Amos 3
1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel [God’s people who will rule and reign over the earth, with truth and justice as He rules in us and through us], against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt [out of oppression], saying,
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish [[paqad – come as the Chief Overseer of the earth]] you for all your iniquities.
3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed [ya’ad – this appointed time at Armageddon]?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is [[where no trap has been set]] for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD has not done it [[brought it to light]]?
7 Surely the LORD God will do nothing [[evil]], but he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets.
8 The lion has roared, who will not fear? the LORD God has spoken, who can but prophesy?
9 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria [the governments of church and state], and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
10 For they know not to do right, says the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
11 Therefore thus says the LORD God; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down your strength from you, and your palaces shall be spoiled.
12 Thus says the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
13 Hear you, and testify in the house of Jacob, says the LORD God, the God of hosts,
14 That in the day that I shall visit [[paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth]] the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit [[paqad]] the altars of Bethel [[houses called by My name, wherein you put your idols in My place]]: and the horns [[the power to rule]] of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15 And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory [shen] shall perish, and the great [rag – many] houses shall have an end, says the LORD.

Amos 4
1 Hear this word, you kine [cows] of Bashan [[the flock of fruitfulness]], that are in the mountain of Samaria [[ruled by those who worship idols they put in God’s place and call by His name]], which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say [[which flock says] to their masters, Bring, and let us drink [[of the corruption by which you oppresses us]].
2 The LORD God has sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with [[nasa’ – lift you out of corruption]] hooks [[catching you with the words of your own mouths]], and your posterity [[‘achariyth – in these last days of darkness]] with fishhooks [[ciyr, or ciyrah – by piercing your ears with My words that will enter your minds]]\.
3 And you shall go out at the breaches [[perets – referring to it only other uses in Amos, in Amos 9:11, verses 11 & 12 saying “ In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches {perets} thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, says the LORD that does this.”]], every cow at that which is before her; and you shall cast them [[yatsa’ – go away from Me]] into the palace [[of these misleaders]], says the LORD.
4 [[Not knowing they are saying to you]] Come to Bethel [the houses of God], and transgress; at Gilgal [where the waters are always troubled] multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:
5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven [corruption], and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this [[transgressing]] like you, O you children of Israel, says the LORD God.
6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth [shen] in all your cities, and want of bread [without this word of God] in all your places: yet have you not returned [shuwb] unto me, says the LORD.
7 And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon [[was this word of God sent]], and the piece whereupon it rained not [without this word from heaven] withered.
8 So two or three cities wandered [[away]] to one city to drink water [[of corruption]]; but they were not satisfied. Yet have you not returned [shuwb] unto me, says the LORD.
9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have you not returned [shuwb] unto me, says the LORD.
10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have you not returned [shuwb] unto me, says the LORD.
11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom [burning] and Gomorrah [ruin], and you were as a firebrand plucked [natsal [[the same as harpazo, to “seize”]]] out of the burning, [[as in Zechariah 3:2, 1 Thessalonians 4:17, and Jude 1:23]]: yet have you not returned [shuwb] unto me, says the LORD.
12 Therefore thus will I do unto you, O Israel: and because I will do this unto you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.
13 For, lo, he that formed the mountains [har], and created the wind, and declares unto man what is his thought, that makes the morning darkness [[makes this light come into this time of darkness]], and treads upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.

Exodus 29
37 Seven days you shall make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it [[declaring holy this sacrifice of the LORD]]; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever touches the altar shall be holy.
38 Now this is that which you shall offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
39 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at even:
40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled [[balal – referring us to its use in Hosea 7:8, the passage, speaking of this anointing and of God’s people’s ignorance of it, saying, “6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleeps all the night; in the morning it burns as a flaming fire. 7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me. 8 Ephraim, he has mixed {balah} himself among the people {and therefore is ignorant of the time of their visitation and the LORD’s presence}; Ephraim is a cake not turned {not returned to me and therefore chooses to burn}.”]] with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.
41 And the other lamb you shall offer at even [[now in this time of darkness]], and shall do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet [ya’ad – at this appointed time] you, to speak there unto you.
43 And there I will meet [ya’ad – at this agreed time] with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle [[My people]] shall be sanctified [[be made holy]] by my glory.
44 And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation [[mow’ed – of this appointed time]], and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons [[who bring this light, understanding, to the dark world]], to minister to me in the priest’s office.
45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
46 And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among [[tavek – dwell in our midst]] them: I am the LORD their God.

John 10
9 I am the door [into the city of defense]: by me if any man enters in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf catches [harpazo [[seizes and holds]]] them, and scatter the sheep.
13 The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one-fold [unified by catching them back into God’s hand, from the hand which caught and scattered them], and one shepherd.
17 Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20 And many of them said, He has a devil, and is mad; why hear you him?
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that has a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind [can the devil reveal the things of God to those who haven’t seen them, or is it the devil, the misleader, who scattered them into their blindness]?
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter [dark days of ignorance].
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long do you make us to doubt? If you be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
26 But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck [harpazo] them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck [harpazo] them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law [in Psalms 82:6], I said, You are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped [exerchomai] out of their hand,
40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
42 And many believed on him there.

The LORD, in verse 39 above, tells us precisely how the “escape” from the hand of the wicked occurs: through (ex) the (erchomai) word from His mouth, delivering those who believe and follow Him. This method is what the LORD is referring us to when He, in verse 34, quotes Psalms 82:6, a Psalm that begins with telling of the LORD God standing (in Michael – see the previous post) in the congregation of the mighty, as He judges the gods of this world, who’ve blinded all to this glorious gospel.

Psalms 82
1 God stands in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid [natsal – rescue [[pluck them from the fires of hell, seize them to Me, as in John 10:27 – 30 above]]] them out of the hand of the wicked [who we’re told, in 2 Thessalonians 2:6 & 7, hold {katecho} you, as in John 10:12 above, until they are taken out of our midst {mesos}]].
5 They know not, neither will they understand [because the gods of this world have blinded them, and they see nothing]; they walk on in darkness [ignorance]: [because] all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.

Amos 1
1 The words of Amos [the burden, which the LORD alone carries, because no man can], who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa [who heard the trumpet, which is the LORD’s voice heard shaking heaven and dearth], which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah [strength of Jehovah] king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam [“the people will contend”] the son of Joash [giving what Jehovah has given them] king of Israel, two years before the earthquake [ra’ash – the shaking the brings the dead bones together and wards off corruption from God’s word, as in Zechariah 14:5, speaking of when the “LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with you {with His anointed},” after verse 3 says, “Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.”].
2 And he said, The LORD [in this battle] will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus [where the word, the work, is now silenced and God’s people are drunken and in tears], and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead [judged this word of God’s testimony worthless and unholy] with threshing instruments of iron:
4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael [who God has seen doing this], which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad [the children of the mighty, who are enemy idols put in God’s place].
5 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven [when their worthless idols are plainly seen], and him that holds [down, withhold] the scepter [shebet – the power to rule themselves as God rules] from the house of Eden [those in whom I delight]: and the people of Syria [those who’ve exalted their worthless words above the LORD’s, means by which they hold down God’s people in their captivity] shall go into captivity unto Kir [held by the wall of lies they think will protect them], says the LORD.
6 Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza [those in power], and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom [the devils, enemies mixed among us at war with us while calling it peace]:
7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza [the seats of the mighty], which shall devour the palaces thereof:
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod [the powerful], and him that holds [withholds] the scepter [shebet] from Ashkelon [those tried and purified in the fires], and I will turn my hand against Ekron [these corrupt trees who will be torn up by the roots]: and the remnant of the Philistines [the invading army now mixed among us] shall perish, says the LORD God.
9 Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus [the false rock, men speaking lies in My name, in which people trust], and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom [the enemies mixed among us], and remembered not the brotherly covenant [the way of sustainable peace and security, by reciprocal respect for life, liberty, and property]:
10 But I will send a fire on the wall [of lies] of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.
11 Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom [the enemies mixed among us at war with us, endangering our lives, liberty, and property], and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever:
12 But I will send a fire upon Teman [against his wise men, who are now insane], which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah [his fortress which is his control over his people].
13 Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon [those who’ve scattered God’s people and turned them against themselves], and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead [to whom this testimony is sent], that they might enlarge their border:
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah [the lies of the great men of the earth, who’ve corrupted it and destroyed all truthful discourse], and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting [of His archangel manifesting His presence] in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind [from where the voice of the LORD is heard]:
15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, says the LORD.

Amos 2
1 Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab [men whose mouths are the gates of hell], and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime [siyd – plaster with which they cover the wall of lies; referring us to its use in Isaiah 33:12 below]:
2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth [those warring against the LORD with their evil decrees]: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, says the LORD.
4 Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah [the current crop of corrupt leaders now misleading God’s people], and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:
5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6 Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel [God’s people at large], and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor [the same words and way that ruined the mind of the people have ruined the earth], and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:
8 And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite [those who exalt their words above the LORD’s] before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O you children of Israel? says the LORD.
12 But you gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
15 Neither shall he stand that handles the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rides the horse deliver himself.
16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, says the LORD.

Isaiah 33
1 Woe to you that spoil, and you were not spoiled; and deal treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with you! when you shall cease to spoil, you shall be spoiled; and when you shall make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with you.
2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for [qavah – expected] you: be you their arm every morning, our salvation [yshuw’ah – Joshua: our Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh of His declared perpetual son] also in the time of trouble [trarah – this tribulation].
3 At the noise [qowl- the voice of Jehovah] of the tumult [hamown – the shout of His multitude] the people fled; at the lifting up [romemuth – only used here, meaning exaltation; the voice of the LORD raised above all others] of yourself the nations were scattered.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar [until nothing is left]: as the running to and fro [seeking the knowledge of the LORD] of locusts shall he run upon them [until none are left untouched by the understanding, wisdom, and knowledge they give as received].
5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability [‘emuwn – faithfulness and truth of His office as the Chief Overseer of the earth] of your times, and strength of salvation [yshuw’ah]: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
7 Behold, their valiant ones [’er’el – the same as Ariel, the Lion of God, from whom he roars] shall cry without: the ambassadors [mal’ak – His angels He send with His message, to be delivered as receives] of peace shall weep bitterly [because the LORD’s people refuse His Salvation message].
8 The highways [to return to the LORD] lie waste, the wayfaring man [‘abar – those passing over from death into life] ceases: he [those who’ve wandered away from the LORD] has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he regards [chashab – refuse to consider] no man.
9 The earth mourns and languishes: Lebanon [purity in high place] is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon [plainly seeing things as they are] is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel [fruitful garden] shake off their fruits.
10 Now will I rise, says the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself. [AMEN!]
11 You shall conceive chaff, you shall bring forth stubble: your breath [your own words you speak], as fire, shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime [siyd – fire against the scattered bones, tribulation in which the dead body of Christ is purified and raised]: as thorns [misleader that overgrew the garden] cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Hear [shama’ – hear My voice and obey My good leading], you that are far off [rachowq – here in this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men in power], what I have done; and, you that are near [qarowb – who’ve joined with Me], acknowledge [yada’ – because you have seen and know Me] my might [gbuwrah – My strength as a warrior, giving understand that changes men’s minds].
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings [the bush that burns but never burns out]?
15 He that walketh righteously, and speaks uprightly; he that despises the gain of oppressions, that shakes his hands from holding of bribes [We see you Brandon, doing the bidding of your pay masters], that stop his ears from hearing [shama’ – not obeying the commands that are malicious and evil] of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil [not leading people into evil];
16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks [from which this word of God flows]: bread [this rightly divided dispensation] shall be given him; his [the dispenser’s living] waters shall be sure.
17 Your eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD promised and decreed].
18 Your heart shall meditate terror [‘eymah – murmur against and mediate about the fear of the LORD; referring us Proverbs 20:2, saying “The fear {‘eymah} of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provokes him to anger {‘abar – to rise from silence into flesh} sins against his own soul.]. Where is the scribe [caphar – who say they understand the law: My written word]? where is the receiver [shaqal – to who I sent My word, which meaning I suspending for Myself until this time of war]? where is he that counted the towers [caphar migdal – where is the One who wrote these things to be sent into this future only the LORD knew and knows]?
19 You [being blind] shall not see a fierce people [I embolden], a people of a deeper [‘ameq – only appearing here and Ezekiel 3:5 & 6, where it is rendered “strange”] speech than you can perceive [shama’ – not able to hear it as Jehovah speaking, and therefor not willing to follow His good advice]; of a stammering tongue [a language, truth, you don’t understand, because all you have been taught is corruptions and lies], that you can not understand [biynah – the understanding is directly from Jehovah, only used in the Prophets as follows: Isaiah 11:2, 27:11, 29:14 & 24, here, Jeremiah 23:20, Daniel 1:20, 8:15, 9:22 & 10:1, all defining this understanding coming from the Angel {mal’ak – messenger} of the LORD’s presence, who appears as the “son of man”].
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: your eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle [His people in which He dwells] that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
21 But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams [this word flowing into the sea: humanity at large: this last generation that is the first of the new creation]; wherein shall go no galley with oars [the now totally corrupt institution of government, church and state, powered by men], neither shall gallant [‘addiyr – having power to rule over man] ship pass thereby [‘abar – they shall not pass over from death into life with this new generations].
22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
23 Your tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail [all the things by which these institutions held man down, are no longer able to hold them down, because they are taken out of our midst, no longer controlling our minds]: then [as in verse 1] is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame [those who strayed from the highway and returned to it] take the prey.
24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

Friends, below is Zechariah 14, from the post of 19 – 21 March 2024 PART 1 OF 2, which repeated it from the post of 12 November 2023 (with additions in double brackets, as again today, giving deeper context).

The chapter tells of the LORD appearing on the “mount of Olives” the only times (Zechariah 14:4 twice) the phrase (har zayith) appears in the Old Testament. It is once there referred to, in 2 Samuel 15:30, where it (the phrase), in the original text, is rendered from zayith alone. In this earlier appearance, it tells of David ascending to this place while he waited to be “certified” king.

The word rendered “certify,” in 2 Samuel 15:28, is nagad, meaning “to front, i.e. stand boldly out opposite; by implication (causatively), to manifest; figuratively, to announce (always by word of mouth to one present); specifically, to expose, predict, explain, praise.”

The pattern speaks of the descent, when David, the beloved (Timothy, who is uniquely described as the man of God, and the beloved son), stands there (on the Mount of Olive) face (front) to face (as the cherubim above the mercy seat manifesting the LORD’s presence in the conversation), boldly against the wicked now in power (as in the full definition of nagad).

As in 2 Samuel 15:30, without the har, Zechariah tells of the mountain, the governments of the earth, church and state, from where this anointing oil should flow, departing, and God’s people finding themselves in the valley left in the place of the mountain’s departure. This event is what Joel (the LORD in him) writes of.

Joel 3
11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all you heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause your mighty ones to come down [from the mountain into the valley], O LORD.
12 Let the heathen [those who haven’t known Me] be wakened, and come up [from their graves where they sleep in death] to the valley of Jehoshaphat [this judgment of Jehovah present]: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen [who haven’t know My presence] round about.
13 Put you in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe [in the New Testament we’re told the Mount of Olives is in Bethphage, meaning the house of unripe figs, it is also the place the LORD resides at night {waiting for the fruit to ripen}, after light left, light which was when He was in the temple] : come, get you down [from the mountain]; for the press is full, the fats [this oil] overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun [church government] and the moon [civil governments] shall be darkened [ignorant without this light], and the stars [God’s people, the multitude in the valley] shall withdraw their shining [also not having or not giving this understanding as received].
16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem [this place from where His teaching flows the highway to sustainable peace and security]; and the [totally corrupt] heavens and the earth shall shake [to shake the wicked from them]: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17 So shall you know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with [these living] waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim [where all are scourged by the thorns – corrected away from those misleading them].
19 Egypt [those oppressing the world] shall be a desolation, and Edom [the enemies mixed among us at war with us while they call it peace] shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah [My elect remnant, the new crop of leaders I Am raising from the dead], because they [the enemies among us] have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah [the elect remnant] shall dwell forever, and Jerusalem [My people at large] from [the old and corrupt] generation to [become the new] generation [in this new creation].
21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwells in Zion.

Matthew 17
5 While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud [where understanding is found] overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear you him.”
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes [seeing the unseen, as the LORD sees], they saw no man, save Jesus only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead [as I Am].

Luke 19
37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples [students of His teaching] began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the LORD: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke your disciples.
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side,
44 And shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall [scatter you] not leave in you one stone upon another; because you knewest not the time of your visitation.
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but you have made it a den of thieves.
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

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 dead} 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 other uses, speaking of 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 in Isaiah 28:2 & 10:22 & 23}]] 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.

Psalms 127
1 Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, “It is my people:” and they shall say, “The LORD is my God.”

9 – 11 April 2024

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, “It is my people:” and they shall say, “The LORD is my God.”

The Hebrew words the LORD uses above (Zechariah 13:9) rendered “refine” (“refined”) and “try” (“tried”), are respectively tsaraph and bachan; the first speaking of the process of purification and the latter of the examination during and after, to determine quality. As we see, the word tsaraph bears an affinity to tsarah (and tsar, meaning evil and enemy), which speaks of the tribulation, here and now understood as the furnace in which the purification (sanctification) process occurs.

Zechariah 13
1 In that day [when you are scattered – as is spoken of ending the previous chapter] there shall be a fountain [of living water] opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for [to purify you of your] sin and for uncleanness.
2 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off [karath] the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the [false] prophets and the [their] unclean spirit to pass [‘abar – pass into death, be understood to be the voices of the dead] out of the land [‘erets – from the earth].
3 And it shall come to pass, that [it, the passing from the earth, shall be] when any shall yet prophesy [in the name of the LORD, words other than from the fountain], then his father and his mother that begat him [teaching and leading to bring him from death into life] shall say unto him, You shall not live; for you speaks lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him [to bring them from death into life] shall thrust him through [daqar – this refers us to Isaiah 13:15, see below, the only time Isaiah uses the word] when he prophesies.
4 And it shall come to pass in that day [when they are trust through with this sword, the word of God from the fountain they refuse], that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he has prophesied [realizing they are their own words against the LORD]; neither shall they wear a rough garment [se’ar, the description of Esau, the same as sa’iyr, meaning devils and he-goats, misleaders, enemies mixed among us] to deceive:
5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a husbandman [‘iysh – a man – refusing to repent, now claiming to be a shepherd]; for man [‘adam] taught me [corruption] to keep cattle [qanah – the word rendered “possessors” in Zechariah 11:5, saying to “the flock of slaughter,” “Whose possessors {qanah} slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.”] from my youth.
6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds [makkah] in your hands [against their dead works]? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded [nakah] in the house of my friends [these are wounds of a friend, as in the LORD’s own dead body wounded by Him, stopping their works].
7 Awake, O sword [this word of God], against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, says the LORD of hosts: smite [nakah] the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn [shuwb – return] my hand [good works] upon the little ones [tsa’ar].
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land [‘erets – the earth], says the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off [karath – as in verse 2 above] and die [gava’ – give up the ghost, the unclean spirit, their idols, the sons of perdition that possess them]; but the third shall be left [yathar – excel, remain when the sons of perdition do not, as in Genesis 49:4] therein.
9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine [tsaraph] them as silver is refined [tsaraph], and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

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.

The words “little ones,” above in Zachariah 13:7, is from the three times used word tsa’ar, meaning “to be small, i.e. (figuratively) ignoble:–be brought low, little one, be small.” It refers to its appearance in Jeremiah 30:19, the chapter speaking of the tribulation into which the LORD comes to save us from it, as a brand plucked from the fires.

Zechariah 3
1 And he showed me [ra’ah – shepherded me into understanding] Joshua the high priest [the priesthood] standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist [satan – the word only appears five other times, all in the Psalms] him.
2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke you, O Satan; even the LORD that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: is not this a brand plucked [natsal – the equivalent of the Greek word harpazo, “caught up” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17] out of the fire [as in Jude 1:23 where harpazo is rendered “pulling,” speaking of from the same fires]?
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments [spotted by dead flesh], and stood before the angel.
4 And he answered and spoke unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments [the corruption that makes them blind and dumb] from him. And unto him [the priesthood] he said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with change of raiment.
5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments [the LORD’s righteousness – the garments of the cleansed priesthood]. And the angel of the LORD [I Am] stood by.
6 And the angel of the LORD protested [reiterated] unto Joshua, saying,
7 Thus says the LORD of hosts; If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my charge, then you shall also judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you places to walk among these that stand by.
8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you, and your fellows that sit before you: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch [from where comes this good fruit].
9 For behold the stone [from where this word flows] that I have laid before [paniym – as My presence in] Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes [seers seeing as the LORD sees]: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof [writing this word into their minds], says the LORD of hosts [a man of war], and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, shall you call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree [to become branches from where comes this good fruit].

Jeremiah 30
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Thus [in this manner] speaks the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write you all the words that I have spoken unto you in a book.
3 For, lo, the days come, says the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4 And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 For thus says the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
6 Ask you now, and see whether a man does travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble [tsarah – tribulation], but he shall be saved out of it.
8 For it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10 Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob, says the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
11 For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered you, yet I will not make a full end of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished.
12 For thus says the LORD, Your bruise is incurable, and your wound is grievous.
13 There is none to plead your cause, that you mayest be bound up: you have no healing medicines.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity; because your sins were increased.
15 Why cry you for your affliction? your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity: because your sins were increased, I have done these things unto you.
16 Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon you will I give for a prey.
17 For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.
18 Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small [tsa’ar].
20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] all that oppress them.
21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? says the LORD.
22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has done it, and until he has performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days [‘achariyth] you shall consider [biyn – understand] it.

The LORD begins (continues) today (10 April) in Jeremiah 50:6, saying, “My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting-place.”

Jeremiah 50
1 The word that the LORD spoke against Babylon [the darkness now covering the world] and against the land of the Chaldeans [those using their words to manipulate into ignorance and control humanity] by Jeremiah the prophet [speaking of these days and this time when all are held captive in the confusion, delusion, and mass insanity sown by those in power].
2 Declare you among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted, as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, so all who look to Him will not be deadened by the words with which the wicked are attacking them]; publish [shama’ – hear and obey, declare this word of the LORD, as the standard raised], and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel [the idols men created and put in His place] is confounded, Merodach [those leading the rebellion against God] is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
3 For out of the north [God’s people awakened from the darkness] there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land [‘erets – the earth they’ve made] desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart [as in verse 8 below], both man and beast.
4 In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.
5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
6 My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting-place [rebets – a four times used word that refers to the way back as described in Isaiah 35:7, the passage saying:
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6 Then shall the lame man {who’ve gone astray} leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing {those who’ve been silent shall repeat these words as received}: for in the wilderness shall {this fountain of living} waters break out, and streams in the desert.
7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons [tan – men as serpents and whales, devouring other men with their wide open mouths], where each lay [rebets], shall be grass with reeds and rushes [at the end of their waters].
8 And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it [‘abar – from death into life]; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein [this high-way].
9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there [in this high-way]:
10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.].
7 All that found them [the LORD’s people before they find, remember, this high-way] have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice [the resting-place they have forgotten], even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon [leave these men’s confusion behind], and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans [those holding you in darkness by their evil words], and be as the he goats [leading the way] before the flocks.
9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country [my people who haven’t known me, now coming out of darkness]: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows [these good words] shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, says the LORD.
11 Because you were glad, because you rejoiced, O you destroyers of my heritage, because you are grown fat as the heifer at grass [prospering by devouring], and [your words] bellow as bulls;
12 Your mother [your teachers] shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert [desolate without this word of God].
13 Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goes by [the way of] Babylon shall be astonished [by their ignorance], and hiss at [drawing attention to] all her plagues.
14 Put yourselves [My awakened saints] in array against Babylon round about: all you that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has sinned against the LORD.
15 Shout [as My messengers] against her round about: she has given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she has done, do unto her.
16 Cut off the sower [speaking confusion to deceive] from Babylon, and him that handles the sickle in the time of [their evil] harvest: for fear of the oppressing [yanah] sword [the evil words from their mouths] they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions [the powerful] have driven him away: first the king of Assyria [the communists in power] has devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of the false prophets and false teachers which rule the world they confused and turned insane] has broken his bones [the power of unity].
18 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan [be fruitful, as in the garden], and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead [the testimony given to this last generation who become the first, double ruin turned into double blessing].
20 In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim [double rebellion], even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod [the people against whom I have come as the Chief Overseer of the earth]: waste and utterly destroy after them, says the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded you [speaking this word, declaring it is the LORD present, with us, in us risen].
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have strived against the LORD.
25 The LORD has opened his armory, and has brought forth [these words reserved for this time of war] the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the LORD God of hosts [a man of war] in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation [pquddah – this time when the LORD has come as the Chief Overseer of the earth].
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon [escape the captivity in confusion], to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple [His people, His habitation manifested on the earth as it is in heaven].
29 Call together the archers against Babylon: all you that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do unto her [combat her confusion with this word of the LORD from your mouths]: for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD.
31 Behold, I am against you, O you most proud [swelling with pride in the destruction your evil words cause], says the LORD God of hosts: for your day is come, the time that I will visit you [paqad – as the Chief Overseer, Chief Watchman, of the earth].
32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
33 Thus says the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts [a man of war] is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land [‘erets – the earth], and disquiet [ragaz – make known their rage against Me] the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 A sword [this word of God they refuse and rage against] is upon the Chaldeans, says the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
36 A sword [this word is against] is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword [this word] is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
37 A sword [this word] is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women [weak and fearful]: a sword [this word] is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
38 A drought [without this word of God] is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon [insane by] their idols.
39 Therefore the wild beasts [those without My Spirit] of the desert [the desolate places] with the wild beasts [without My Spirit] of the islands [dry places without this word of God] shall dwell there, and the owls [those who hunt souls, in the darkness, of the ignorant] shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; neither shall it be dwelt in from [the last] generation to [the first] generation.
40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah [with flames and ruin] and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
41 Behold, a people shall come from the north [out of confusion’s darkness], and a great nation, and [My people as] many kings shall be raised up [to life from death] from the coasts [yrekah] of the earth [where their proud wave are a stopped – see Jeremiah 25:32 below].
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, everyone put in array, like a man to the battle, [as My awakened army] against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 The king of Babylon has heard the report [shama’ shema’ – understood and obeyed – acted knowing the time is of his end] of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish [tsarah – tribulation he caused] took hold [epithesis] of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail [fearing what they have brought forth].
44 Behold, he [the LORD, I Am] shall come up like a lion from [roaring against] the swelling [proud waves] of Jordan [words that carried all in the descent into death] unto the habitation of the strong [in power]: but I will make them [the wicked] suddenly run away from her [My people they have oppressed]: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint [paqad – who I will make Chief Overseer] over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? [All these are references to Michael, who is like God and stands for God’s people in this time of Jacob’s trouble {tsarah}, and Shiloh, who comes as the shepherd and stone of God’s people – the king of peace, and king of righteousness, in the order of Melchizedek]
45 Therefore hear you the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock [{as in Ahasuerus} “I will be silent and poor {without earthly power}”] shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46 At the noise [qowl – the LORD’s voice] of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.

Revelation 18
1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened [given understanding] with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she has filled fill to her double.
7 How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the LORD God who judges her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is your judgment come.

Jeremiah 25
7 Therefore you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink you [this word], and be drunken, and [uncontrollably] spue [your own words against it], and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword [this word when it is heard from My awakened people by those who reject it’s warning] which I will send among you.
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then shall you say unto them, Thus says the LORD of hosts; You shall certainly drink.
29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword [this word to be heard] upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says the LORD of hosts.
30 Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new]; for the LORD has a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword [this word they refuse], says the LORD.
32 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and [against evil] a great whirlwind [from where the voice of the Almighty is heard] shall be raised up from the coasts [yrekah] of the earth [where the proud words of the wicked are stopped].
33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth [ending the old and totally corrupt] even unto the other end of the earth [beginning the new]: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they [the animated flesh of those who choose to remain dead and in darkness] shall be dung upon the ground.
34 Howl, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes [of the earth you’ve made a ruin], you principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions [scattering you as you have scattered] are accomplished; and you shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD has spoiled their pasture [where you kept the flock].
37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
38 He has forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor [yanah], and because of his fierce anger.

Ezekiel 3
1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man [I Am], eat [diligently search for Me in My word] that you find; eat this roll [this written word sent to you as a wheel within a wheel, understanding sent forward to, in the full circuit of the age, give the same understanding to those to whom the LORD sends it], and go speak unto the house of Israel.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this roll that I give you. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness [that is stronger than the strength of lions, as in Samson’s riddle].
4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get you unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words [you found when, by your faith, I revealed them in your diligent search] unto them.
5 For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel [now the dead body of Christ, as dead bones];
6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have hearkened [shama’ – heard and obeyed] unto you.
7 But the house of Israel [the dead body of Christ] will not hearken [shama’ – hear and obey] unto you; for they will not hearken [shama’ – hear and obey] unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
8 Behold, I have made your face [paniym – My presence manifested in you] strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads [like the cherubim, face to face above the mercy seat, where My presence is manifested in the conversation].
9 As an adamant [shamiyr – like a thorn that will pierce their ear and enter their minds, as My word effectually works to change them] harder than flint [tsor] have I made your forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
11 And go, get you to them of the captivity [this refers to Ezekiel 12:39, in Babylon where the dead body of Christ is unaware it is the confusion into which they’ve come], unto the children of your people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus says the LORD God; whether they will hear [shama’ – and obey], or whether they will forbear [chadal – leaving undone what is commanded].
12 Then the spirit took me up [exalted His word above all others], and I heard [shama’ – and obeyd] behind me a voice [qowl] of a great rushing [ra’ash – in Jeremiah 12:18, the bread, the roll, eaten with ”quaking” that guards and protects against corruption, first, as an example to be followed, from the Son of man; and in Ezekiel 37:7 it’s the “shaking” that brings the dead bones together], saying, Blessed be the glory [the manifested presence] of the LORD from his place.
13 I heard also the noise [qowl – the voice of the LORD in this conversation above His mercy seat] of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another [bringing understanding, the life in the word, from the giver to the receive], and the noise [qowl – the voice] of the wheels [the understand sent, and when received, heard from the receiver] over against them, and a noise [qowl – the voices] of a great rushing [ra’ash – the quaking and shaking that guard and protect against corrupting the message, and brings the bones, the dead body of Christ, together, as many sticks gathered into one].
14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness [as this understanding I documented was corrupted after Ezekiel’s, the Son of man’s, death], in the heat of my spirit [man’s corruption poisoning the spirit in these words]; but the hand of the LORD was strong [chazaq – His strength remained] upon me [reserved in this word sent forward, until He again brings it to light].
15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib [a city in Babylon, meaning the mounding of the flood, as corrupt growth from the earth] that dwelt by the river of Chebar [the river carrying this word “far-off” into time, until it reached this moment], and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished [shamem – stupefied, this word not understood] among them seven days.
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days [on the eighth day, the first day of this new creation], that the word of the LORD came [again giving understanding] unto me [the Son of man, I Am], saying,
17 Son of man, I have made you a watchman [tsaphah – a seer, seeing what is coming] unto the house of Israel: therefore hear [shama’ – and obey] the word at my mouth, and give them warning [zahar – gleaming, this enlightenment; the word first appears in Exodus 18:20 where it rendered “teaching”] from me [speaking His word as commanded, as I Am, manifesting His presence, and declaring it is Him and His words].
18 When I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die; and you [refusing to hear and obey My voice] give him not warning [zahar – enlightenment], nor speak [My words as commanded] to warn [zahar – teach] the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
19 Yet if you warn [zahar – teach, enlighten] the wicked, and he turns not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have [by following My commands, and heeding My warnings] delivered your soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him [as I Am], he shall die: because you have not given him warning: zahar – this teaching], he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
21 Nevertheless if you warn [zahar – teach] the righteous man [as I do], that the righteous sin not, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned [zahar – is enlightened]; also you have delivered your soul.
22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise [to life], go forth into the plain [into plain sight declaring My presence], and I will there talk with you.
23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory [the manifested presence] of the LORD [stood there in the conversation, bringing light to His written word sent to me], as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar [in His word sent “far-off” as a wheel within a wheel]: and I fell on my face [paniym – understanding His presence I subordinated my will to His].
24 Then the spirit entered into me [My dead body, the dead body of Christ – as in Ezekiel 37:14], and set me upon my feet, and spoke with me, and said unto me, Go, shut yourself within your house.
25 But you, O son of man, behold, they shall [before they rise from the dead] put bands upon you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:
26 And I will make your tongue cleave [dabaq – remain one flesh with Me] to the roof of your mouth [chek – as sweetness in your mouth alone], that you shall be [to them] dumb [thought to not be speaking of or in the name of the LORD], and shall not be [received] to them [as] a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.
27 But when I speak [dabar – speaking of the LORD’s voice realized as His mind is revealed] with you; I will open your mouth, and you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih – the King of kings and the LORD of lords]; He that hears [shama’ – hears this report, the shmuw’ah, as the voice of Jehovah], let him hear [shama’ – hear and obey]; and he that forbears [chadal – refusing to believe the report is the LORD’s voice of warning], let him forbear [chadal – refusing to hear Him, and not obey]: for they are a rebellious house.

Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Lift you up a banner [nec – the pole upon which the son of man is lifted, as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness] upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded my sanctified [qadash] ones, I have also called my mighty ones for my anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
4 The noise [qowl – voices] of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise [qowl – voices] of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts musters the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of [the corrupt] heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6 Howl you; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travails: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light [their corrupt understanding]: the sun [church institutions] shall be darkened [seen as ignorant] in his going forth, and the moon [all civil government] shall not cause her light to shine [instead they teach darkness].
11 And I will punish [paqad – come as the Chief Overseer of] the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man [I Am] more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 And it shall be as the chased [away] roe, and as a sheep that no man takes up: they shall every man turn [away from Babyon: the confusion that rules the world] to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through [daqar]; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword [this word from the mouth of the LORD].
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes [the middle land, led by Cyrus: the LORD with us in the fires] against them [this totally corrupt generation: the popular culture maliciously attacking all that is good and normal], which shall not regard [not motivated by] silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it [not motivated by notoriety or personal gain].
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men [of Babylon] to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb [the ignorant and evil generation they produced]; their eyes shall not spare children [but will see and declare them as they are: ignorant and evil].
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from [the old and corrupt] generation to [the new] generation [wherein dwells righteousness]: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 But wild beasts [without the LORD’s Spirit] of the desert [remaining in desolation their ways and words have caused] shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures [howling because none remain with them in their flame and ruin]; and owls [those who hunt, the souls of the ignorant, in the darkness] shall dwell there, and satyrs [sa’iyr – devils, as enemies before mixed among us] shall dance [leap about looking for someone to deceive] there [alone].
22 And the wild beasts [animated flesh without the LORD’s Spirit] of the islands [without His word] shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons [tanniym – men, as serpents and whales, who with their wide open mouths devour any they can deceive] in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

Matthew 12
16 And charged them that they should not make him known [because it is the Father in me, in us, speaking His good word and doing His good deeds]:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets [because it is the Father’s word they must hear and obey].
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench [but He shall, by His word and work trim them into a bright flame giving His light to the darkened world], till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles [those who haven’t known the Father or the son] trust.
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil [by misleaders mixed among them], blind [unable to see it is His time of His presence revealed in us], and dumb [unwilling to speak his word, because of the ignorance they’ve been taught by their misleaders]: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
24 But when the Pharisees [the religious, who’ve scattered the dead body of Christ] heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come [phthano] unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house [as the corrupt houses are spoiled by the present LORD].
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Ghost [the LORD speaking and working unknown to those dead in their own ignorance, proven by them not knowing it’s Him even as He tells them – Acts 13:41 Behold {see Him}, 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.], it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart [the foundational mind] the mouth speaks.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the [this] day of judgment.
37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from you.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah [coming from the belly of hell and calling all to repent]:
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly [and from there said, “I cried by reason of my affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and you heard my voice.]; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth [which is the habitation of the dead, in the grave in the earth, sheol].
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

As seen in previous posts: The name Nineveh leads us to the three times used Hebrew word niyn (meaning progeny), from the once-used word nuwn, meaning “to resprout, i.e. propagate by shoots; figuratively, to be perpetual.” As previously discussed, the proper name Nun (Nuwn) is of the father of Oshea (salvation or deliverer), whom Moses named Joshua (Jehovah’s Salvation). Joshua (Jesus – Jehovah’s Salvation personified) is the name (identity) of the perpetual son in whom Jehovah is manifested saving His people. In this context, in the above verse, the LORD’s people are identified by the name Nineveh, the dwelling place of the perpetual children of God (children of the Most High {‘elyown}), who rise in judgment in this last generation (the last of the old which becomes the first of the new).

The above definition is depicted in Psalms 72 where the word nuwn appears in verse 17.

Psalms 72
1 Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 He shall judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgment.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear you as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endures.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 His name shall endure forever: his name shall be continued [nuwn] as long [paniym – Jehovah’s perpetual presence in the king’s son] as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name forever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

Jeremiah 13
15 Hear [shama’ – and obey] you, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD has spoken.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
17 But if you will not hear [shama’ – and obey] it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and my eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock is carried away captive.

The word “prolonged,” in Isaiah 13:22 above, is mashak, with which the LORD refers us to its appearance in Ezekiel 12:25 & 28.

Ezekiel 12
22 Son of man [I Am], what is that proverb that you have in the land of Israel [among My people at large], saying, The days [of the LORD’s return] are prolonged [‘arak – are long in the future], and every vision fails [to come {because they look for what they’ve been taught by the false prophets and false teachers mixed among them, which never come and always fail}]?
23 Tell them therefore, Thus says the LORD God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect [dabar – the matter of this word heard declaring the LORD’s presence with us, in us] of every vision [chazown – all shall see Him].
24 For there shall no more be any vain vision [looking for worthless things taught by false prophets and false teachers] nor flattering divination [meant to make those remaining in the midst of destruction feel good while they remain there] within the house of Israel.
25 For I am the LORD: I will speak [dabar], and the word [dabar] that I shall speak [dabar] shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged [mashak]: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say [dabar] the word [dabar], and will perform it, says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih – the King of kings and LORD of lords].
26 Again the word [dabar] of the LORD came to me [the son of man], saying.
27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of the times that are far off [rachowq – knowing it is when the world is ruled by Babylon, the evil decrees of those in power, but they remains blind and dumb, unwilling see it is now because of those who sit in God’s place warring against His light come, and holding His people down, keeping them from receiving this love of His truth, and from rising with Him, to Him here in the air He’s cleared, to declare Him].
28 Therefore say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; There shall none of my words be prolonged [mashak] any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, says the LORD God.

Luke 19
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side,
44 And shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone upon another [the individuals who’ve left the corrupt teaching, the mortar that holds their wall of lies together, and are able thereby to see and hear this truth, and “immediately cry out,” saying “Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the LORD: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.”]; because you [those who hold them together in darkness: ignorance] knew not the time of your visitation [now when the LORD has revealed Himself as the Chief Overseer of the earth to the sight of those who’ve diligently sought Him, as He promised].

Isaiah 30
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to [now] come forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things [that make the ignorant feel good while they follow them into destruction], prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel [I Am] to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant [when the stones “immediately cry out”].
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus says the LORD God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you [who choose to remain silent in ignorance] would not.

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 armies of darkness] 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 [ra’ – evil] he shall hide [tsaphan] me in his pavilion: in the secret [cether] of his tabernacle shall he hide [cathar] me; he shall set me up [ruwm – raise me] upon a Rock [revealing His presence when His word flows from me as living waters].
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, [diligently] Seek you my face [paniym – presence]; my heart [mind] said unto you, Your face [paniym – presence], LORD, will I [diligently] seek.
9 Hide [cathar] not your face [paniym – 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 [when my teachers and leaders go into corruption], then the LORD will take me up [‘acaph – gather me into His ONE BODY].
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 of the living.
14 Wait [qavah – expect, and join] on [‘el – with] the LORD [when He appears]: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart [giving understanding to your mind]: wait [qavah – expect, and join], I say, on [‘el – with] the LORD [when you see Him among you].

Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perishes and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passes through?

8 April 2024

Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perishes and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passes through?

Continuing: the above, Jeremiah 9:12, is the LORD (now) asking the question: who has heard His voice, thereby received His understanding, and (zahar – being warned), obeying His commands, declare it: the cause “for what the earth [‘erets] is ruined:” in which, remaining, none passes over (‘abar) from death into life.

As in the previous post: the above cause, not that it and cure aren’t made known by Him, but that His people, as a rebellious house (not obeying), refuse to declare it, not heeding His warnings (zahar), remain there (as watchmen in rebellion) with the blood of the world on their hands. Jeremiah 9:3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth [‘erets]; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, says the LORD.”

Jeremiah 9
9 Shall I not visit [paqad – come as the Chief Overseer, the watchman, of the earth, to] them for these things? says the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10 For the mountains [the corrupt governments, church and state, ruling over the world] will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through [‘abar – none rise from death into life among] them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle [My voice from MY flock]; both the fowl of the heavens [who have risen there by the strength of My understanding] and the beast [the living creatures] are fled; they are gone [all strayed from under Me into revolt].

Jeremiah 3
9 Shall I not visit [paqad] for these things [as I have]? says the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged [naqam] on such a nation [gowy – My people taught to not know Me] as this?
10 Go you up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end [kalah]: take away her battlements [ntiyshah – prune away the branches that produced this corrupt fruit from the mouths of God’s people against Him]; for they are not the LORD’s.
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, says the LORD.
12 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not him [speaking and working]; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine [as they have not seen that they have refused His word, and haven’t known they have been taught evil now upon them]:
13 And the [many false] prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
14 Wherefore thus says the LORD God of hosts [I Am, a man of war], Because you speak this word, behold, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed], O house of Israel, says the LORD: it is a mighty [‘eythan] nation, it is an ancient [‘owlam – immortal] nation, a nation whose language [lashown – the tongue of Isaiah 28:11] you know not [because it is truth spoken to those who’ve only known lies they’ve been taught], neither understand [shama’ – obey] what they say. [This is a further description, a deeper understanding, of the LORD coming with His ten thousands, His saints, against those speaking against Him, as foretold by Enoch. Here He tells of them coming as gowy, themselves not knowing Him at first, until He, as planned, awakens them again from death.]
16 Their quiver is as an open sepulcher [the grave where the LORD hid His children is now opened], they are all mighty men.
17 And they shall eat up [with the LORD’s fire from their mouths consume] your [wicked] harvest, and your [corrupt] bread, which your [evil] sons and your daughters should eat: they shall eat up your [wicked] flocks and your herds: they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees [into and from which evil words flow]: they shall impoverish your fenced cities, wherein you trusted, with the sword [this word you’ve refused to hear and obey].
18 Nevertheless in those days, says the LORD, I will not make a full end [kalah] with you.
19 And it shall come to pass, when you shall say, Wherefore does the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shall you answer them, Like as you have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land [‘erets – the earth I have given you], so shall you serve strangers in a land [‘erets – the earth] that is not yours [because you have given it into the hands of the wicked].
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21 Hear [shama’ – hear this voice as My voice, and for your good obey what you hear] now this, O foolish people, and without understanding [leb – without intellect]; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear [shama’] not:
22 Fear you not me? says the LORD: will you not tremble at my presence [paniym], which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree [choq – that humanity shall not pass this time, except by Me, by hearing and obeying My commands], that it cannot pass it [‘abar – cannot Passover from death into life, except by Me]: and though the waves thereof toss themselves [the pride of the men who’ve risen up and rule over you as tyrants], yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it [‘abar – this time and death]?
23 But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart [mind]; they are revolted and gone [away from My sound mind].

Jeremiah 5
29 Shall I not visit [paqad] for these things [as I have]? says the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged [naqam] on such a nation [gowy – My people taught to not know Me] as this?
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land [‘erets – the earth];
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their [corrupt misleading] means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof [‘achariyth – in these last days of darkness, this appointed time]?

Jeremiah 9
11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.

Jeremiah 10
22 Behold, the noise [qowl – voices] of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons [tanniyn – of whales and serpents, with their ever wide-open mouths, swallowing men and nations into the belly of hell].
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself [but only by the word from the LORD’s mouth does man live]: it is not in man that walks to direct his steps [for without His guidance they wander astray].
24 O LORD, correct me [back onto the right way], but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on your name [identity]: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

Jeremiah 9
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand [biyn] this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land [‘erets] perishes and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passes through [‘abar]?
13 And the LORD says, Because they have forsaken my law which I [here and now] set before them, and have not obeyed [shama’] my voice, neither walked therein;
14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart [the creation of their own minds: opinions, incorrect suppositions, with which they replace knowledge: knowing by scientific, critical, analysis, {without which} causing mass delusion: mass insanity] and after Baalim [the idols men have, by this means, created and force all the world to worship], which their fathers [strayed from the knowledge of God] taught them:
15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them [with their own poisonous words and let delusion double], even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

Again, pardon me, but (because of today’s exhibition of self-inflicted mental retardation) I must digress. Most have heard that NASA is launching three rockets into the totality of today’s eclipse. Their vaguely stated motive is to study the effects on the ionosphere of this sudden change into darkness. The true motive is first seen in the name they’ve given the rockets, which is Apep: the serpent god of Egypt, who opposed Ra, the sun god, and was constantly trying to destroy him and put out the sun (which, in that time, was the reason given for eclipses). NASA is studying what would happen if and when they block the sun (to battle their man-created delusion, the created crisis of “climate change,” (as a dragon) necessary to stagnate the world and limit its population: “progressively” destroying all human progress).

Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east [away from the sun], that they found a plain in the land of Shinar [in silence, no longer hearing the voice of the LORD]; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick [the creation of men, ideas upon which they built their world without the true living God], and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime [the mire that, when stirred by men’s feet, clouds the waters] had they for morter [that, without God in their knowledge, holds the lies together].
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven [and they built a narrative, void of God, fiction, in church and state, that told of creation that contradicted God and all sound scientific knowledge]; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth [a stated motive which they instead achieved by their own ways and ideas].
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there [with sound doctrine] confound [balal – overflow] their language [the fictions they all know and speak], that they may not understand one another’s speech [all having their own opinions, false teaching they refuse to abandon].
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city [and the earth and all human progress stagnated].
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel [confusion, Babylon that now rules the world]; because the LORD did there confound [balal – overflow {with His word and sound doctrine}] the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Of the forty-three times the word balal appears, the vast majority are rendered “mingled.” It tells of things mixed “with oil,” spiritually speaking of an anointing, by which the word from the mouth of the LORD is heard, and when mixed with the waters mired by the words of men, cleanses it of corruption, scattering those relying on their caused confusion to rule.

Jeremiah 9
15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them [making them eat their own words], even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword [this word they refuse] after them, till I have consumed them.
17 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Consider [biyn – understand] you, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning [chakam – the wise who’ve received this wisdom] women, that they may come:
18 And let them make haste, and [open their mouths as commanded] take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters [this word of the LORD we have seen].
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land [‘erets – abandoned the earth, not warning it as the LORD commands], because our dwellings have cast us out.
20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
21 For death is come up into our windows [and we now see it], and is entered into our palaces [and all who lead us are dead], to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
23 Thus says the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says the LORD.
25 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will punish [paqad – visit as the Chief Overseer, the Chief Watchman, of the earth] all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised [animating them again, the dead raised into dead flesh];
26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel [My people who will receive My promise] are uncircumcised in the heart [their minds here sleeping in dead flesh].

The name Shinar, (from words meaning to sleep and to double, duplicate), as we’ve seen, is used in Daniel 1:2, telling of the vessels of the house of God carried into the land (‘erets – the earth) Shinar (sleeping in double confusion), a situation now duplicated (like a wheel within a wheel).

Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim [who Jehovah will raise from death] king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon [the lies of false prophets and false teachers that cause the confusion now ruling the world] unto Jerusalem [against the teaching that flowed, and now again flows, from the mouth of God], and besieged it.
2 And the LORD gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part [qtsath – those things pertaining to the end] of the vessels [the treasures there reserved for this time of war] of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar [this time when confusion causes all humanity to sleep in death] to the house of his [false] god [men who put themselves in God’s place]; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
3 And the king spoke unto Ashpenaz [the prominent teachers] the master of his eunuchs [the castrated preachers of our time], that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king’s seed, and of the princes;
4 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king’s palace [where in death has risen up], and whom they [to castrate them also] might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans [who use their words to manipulate and control men into doing their evil will].
5 And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he drank [that would make them weak and controllable]: so nourishing them three years, that at the end [qtsath] thereof they might stand before the king [become dead with him, knowing the same lies that cause the confusion by which they rule].
6 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel [the judgment of God], Hananiah [favored of God], Mishael [who is what God is – I Am that I Am], and Azariah [who Jehovah has helped]:
7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs [the castrated preachers] gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar [LORD of the straightened treasure – keeper of the vessel held there in Shinar]; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach [the great scribe, the LORD’s author]; and to Mishael, of Meshach [the anointed]; and to Azariah, of Abednego [servant prophet].
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank [corrupt teaching, which weakened and castrated those who consumed them]: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
9 Now God had brought Daniel into favor and tender love with the [to have mercy and compassion upon the] prince of the eunuchs.
10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I [being castrated] fear my lord the king, who has appointed your meat and your drink [to weaken you also]: for why should he [the king] see your faces worse liking [the LORD’s presence in you angering the king of lies] than the [that you be different than the] children which are of your sort [as judges]? then shall you make me endanger my head to the king.
11 Then said Daniel to Melzar [the guardians of corrupt judgment, an officer of the court], whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12 Prove [in this trial] your servants, I beseech you, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before you, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king’s meat: and as you see, deal with your servants.
14 So he consented to them in this matter, and proved [tried] them ten days.
15 And at the end [qtsath] of ten days [this time of ordinal perfection – when all things are again put in the right order] their countenances appeared fairer and fatter [their vision saw good and prospered] in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s meat.
16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.
17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
18 Now at the end [qtsath] of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.
20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
21 And Daniel continued [hayah – became a living soul again] even unto the first year of king Cyrus [this new creation, when the LORD appears here in the furnace with us].

As we’ve also seen in previous posts, the name Shinar is used in Zechariah 5:11 where the judgment of God is carried away (by wickedness) to where it is again established and brings rest to God’s people.

Zechariah 5
1 Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes [my eyes were raised to see as the LORD sees], and looked, and behold and [I saw] a flying roll [this written word of God carried into the future – the mgillah, the roll of the book spoken of in Ezekiel 2:9 & 3:1, 2, & 3 which comes to him as a wheel within a wheel; it’s the “volume” of the book, in Psalms 40:7, in which the LORD comes, which is the word in our mouths declaring His presence; it’s the word used fourteen times in Jeremiah 36, there telling of the roll of the book Jeremiah {Jehovah rising} writes to raise His people; and its finally used twice here in this chapter].
2 And he said unto me, What see you? And I answered, I see a flying roll [mgillah]; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse [the word of God going forward silenced until this moment] that goes forth [as darkness] over the face of the whole earth: for every one that steals shall be cut off [takes away the understanding found therein] as on this side according to it; and every one that swears [by the lies that come when judgment is held in the hands of the wicked] shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
4 I will bring it forth [into this end time, in these last days of darkness], says the LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war], and it shall enter into the house of the thief [those who stole away understanding from the whole earth], and into the house of him that swears falsely [the lies that replace understanding and truth] by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now your eyes [raise your eyes into life, understand and see as I see], and see what is this that goes forth.
6 And I said, What [mah] is it [as was said of the manna, the word from the mouth of God, which men didn’t know “what” it was – here referring to the word rendered “base” in verse 11 below, speaking of where it is again established and “what” {the roll, the word of God} is established by Jehovah]? And he said, This is an ephah [‘eyphah – judgment] that goes forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance [that follows] through all the earth. [“what” resemblance is here revealed in Proverbs 20:10, as the cubits {measurement} of the roll, “Divers weights, and divers measures {‘eyphah}, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.”]
7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent [an abominable weight] of lead: and this is a [an unfaithful] woman that sits in the midst of the ephah [judging unfaithfully, by abominations they created and put in My place].
8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth [the words] thereof.
9 Then lifted I up my eyes [raised me to see as He sees], and looked, and, behold, there came out two women [the faithful and the unfaithful, in the context of the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrews Lexicon saying the name Shinar means the “country of two rivers”], and the wind [the spirits inspiring them] was in their wings [lifting them from their sleep]; for they had wings like the wings of a stork [the six times use word chaciydah – referring to Jeremiah 8:7, speaking of them knowing the time and this judgment of the LORD, saying “Yea, the stork {chaciydah} in the heaven knows her appointed times {mow’ed – the time and time of Daniel 12:7}; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.”]: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11 And he said unto me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar [where it is held in silence until this time when judgment returns]: and it shall be established [kuwn], and set [nuwach – find rest, as in the days of Noah, when he found it in the expected end] there upon her own base [mkunah – what, the word of God, is established by Jehovah].

Hosea 7
1 When I would have healed Israel [sending them this cure], then the iniquity of Ephraim [God’s people in these last days of darkness] was discovered and the wickedness of [putting idols in God’s place and calling them by His name, as did] Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief comes in, and the troop of robbers spoil without.
2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face [paniym – even in My presence].
3 They make the king [of lies] glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4 They are all adulterers [straying from Me to follow their idols], as an oven heated by the baker [as a furnace wherein I Am walking with them], who cease from raising after he has kneaded the dough, until it be leavened [fully corrupted].
5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleeps all the night; in the morning [now when this light of this new day has come] it burns as a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen [into death’s sleep]: there is none among them that calls unto me.
8 Ephraim, he has mixed [balal] himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake [fully leavened] not turned [refusing to return to their right mind, and they are therefore burning].
9 Strangers have devoured his strength [his understanding], and he knows it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him [this is his old age and the time of His change come], yet he knows not.
10 And the pride of Israel testifies to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
11 Ephraim [God’s people in this generation] also is like a silly dove [foolishly not knowing they are the sign of the end reached] without heart [without a right mind]: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria [they call to the tyrants oppressing them and the communists in power for help].
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven [so they realize they are without understanding]; I will chastise [have corrected] them, as their congregation has heard.
13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine [the nourishment of Babylon that weakens and castrates them], and they rebel against me.
15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
16 They return, but not to the Most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword [this word they refuse] for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

Psalms 92
1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto your name, O Most High:
2 To show forth your lovingkindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work: I will triumph in the works of your hands.
5 O LORD, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man knows not; neither does a fool understand this.
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed forever:
8 But you, LORD, are most high for evermore.
9 For, lo, your enemies, O LORD, for, lo, your enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But my horn shall you exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed [balal] with fresh oil.
11 My eye also shall see my desire on my enemies, and my ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [the upright seen as purity in high places of the earth].
13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 To show that the LORD is upright: he is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says the LORD.

6 April 2024

But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says the LORD.

The above, Jeremiah 9:24, is from a chapter that begins with Jeremiah (Jehovah rising to raise His people) lamenting the slain daughter of His people, which He says resulted from them leaving Him to join with an “assembly of treacherous men.”

He then says the following:

Jeremiah 9
3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, says the LORD.
4 Take you heed every one of his neighbor, and trust you not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will walk with slanders.
5 And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6 Your habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they [have been taught, they] refuse to know me, says the LORD.
7 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in heart [his mind] he lays his wait [with traps and snares].
9 Shall I not visit [paqad – come as the Chief Overseer, the watchman, of the earth, to] them for these things? says the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

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.

The word “avenged,” in Jeremiah 9:9 above, is from the Hebrew naqam, which refers us to its descriptions found in Jeremiah’s other uses, the first two coming in Jeremiah 5:9 & 29.

Jeremiah 5
1 Run you to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if you can find a man, if there be any that executes judgment, that seek the truth; and I will pardon it.
2 And though they say, The LORD lives; surely they swear falsely [of their idols, their abominations they created, put in My place, and call by My name].
3 O LORD, are not your eyes upon the truth? you have stricken them, but they have not grieved; you have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke [and are no longer joined with Me in MY work], and burst the bonds [and gone their own ways without Me].
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goes out [from Me] thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7 How shall I pardon you for this? your children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had [here and now] fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses [as an army against Me, led by treacherous men in their apostate churches speaking against and vilifying Me].
8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not visit [paqad] for these things [as I have]? says the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged [naqam] on such a nation [gowy – My people taught to not know Me] as this?
10 Go you up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end [kalah]: take away her battlements [ntioyshah – prune away the branches that produced this corrupt fruit from the mouths of God’s people against Him]; for they are not the LORD’s.
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, says the LORD.
12 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not him [speaking and working]; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine [as they have not seen that they have refused His word, and haven’t known they have been taught evil now upon them]:
13 And the [many false] prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
14 Wherefore thus says the LORD God of hosts [I Am, a man of war], Because you speak this word, behold, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed], O house of Israel, says the LORD: it is a mighty [‘eythan] nation, it is an ancient [‘owlam – immortals] nation, a nation whose language [lashown – the tongue of Isaiah 28:11] you know not [because it is truth spoken to those who’ve only known lies they’ve been taught], neither understand [shama’ – obey] what they say. [This is a further description, a deeper understanding, of the LORD coming with His ten thousands, His saint, against those speaking against Him, as foretold by Enoch. Here He tells of them coming as gowy, themselves not knowing Him as first, until He, as planned, awakens them again from death.]
16 Their quiver is as an open sepulcher [the grave where the LORD hid His children is now opened], they are all mighty men.
17 And they shall eat up [with the LORD’s fire from their mouths consume] your [wicked] harvest, and your [corrupt] bread, which your [evil] sons and your daughters should eat: they shall eat up your [wicked] flocks and your herds: they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees [into and from which evil words flow]: they shall impoverish your fenced cities, wherein you trusted, with the sword [this word you’ve refused to hear and obey].
18 Nevertheless in those days, says the LORD, I will not make a full end [kalah] with you.
19 And it shall come to pass, when you shall say, Wherefore does the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shall you answer them, Like as you have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land [‘erets – the earth I have given you], so shall you serve strangers in a land [‘erets – the earth] that is not yours [because you have given it into the hands of the wicked].
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21 Hear [shama’ – hear this voice as My voice, and for your good obey what you hear] now this, O foolish people, and without understanding [leb – without intellect]; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear [shama’] not:
22 Fear you not me? says the LORD: will you not tremble at my presence [paniym], which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree [choq – that humanity shall not pass this time, except by Me, by hearing and obeying My commands], that it cannot pass it [‘abar – cannot Passover from death into life, except by Me]: and though the waves thereof toss themselves [the pride of the men who’ve risen up and rule over you as tyrants], yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it [‘abar – this time and death]?
23 But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart [mind]; they are revolted and gone [away from My sound mind].
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that gives rain [His word from heaven], both the former [written and sent as a wheel within a wheel] and the latter [now spoken, and here written], in his season: he reserves [it in heaven for us] unto us the appointed weeks of the [this] harvest.
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good things from you.
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that sets snares; they set a trap, they catch men [all humanity in this time come upon it unaware].
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are [by deceptions] become great, and waxen rich.
28 They are waxen fat, they shine [their corrupt teaching]: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless [without a man to protect and defend them], yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29 Shall I not visit [paqad] for these things [as I have]? says the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged [naqam] on such a nation [gowy – My people taught to not know Me] as this?
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land [‘erets – the earth];
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their [corrupt misleading] means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof [‘achariyth – in these last days of darkness, this appointed time]?

Daniel 11
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”].

The word sa’ar, only used eight times, refers us to Deuteronomy 32, 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.

28 For they are a nation [gowy – that haven’t known Me, because they are] void of counsel [‘etsah – meaning “{without My good} advice; by implication, {not knowing My} plan; also {without juris}prudence”], neither is there any understanding [tabuwn – they are without Divine intellect] in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood [sakal] this, that they would consider [biyn] their latter end [‘achariyth]!

The word sakal is the same rendered “understanding” in the title verse and is then rendered “prosper” in Jeremiah 10:21. In this latter use, it speaks of those without understanding not prospering in their intended end against the LORD. These men and those who follow them, who awaken and choose to remain in hell, do so because they know not the “time of their visitation” because they’ve been taught corruption by these same false Christs who put themselves in His place.

Jeremiah 10
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 Who would not fear you, O King of nations? for to you [Yahh] does it appertain [ya’ah]: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto you.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities [worthlessness].
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men [creating idols, putting them in My place, and calling them by My name].
10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth [‘erets] shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation [za’am].
11 Thus shall you say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth [‘araq – the old earth, cursed by its own bitterness], even they shall perish from the earth [‘erets], and from under these heavens [they corrupted].
12 He [the LORD] has made the earth [‘erets] by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched [in this exposition] out the [new] heavens by his discretion.
13 When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors [nasiy’ – meaning “properly, an exalted one, i.e. a king or sheik; also a rising mist”] to ascend from the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new]; he makes lightnings [understanding] with rain [His word sent], and brings forth the wind [His Almighty Spirit] out of his treasures [these gifts from His storehouse, armory, in the cloud].
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image [they created, put in God’s place, and call by His name]: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath [life] in them.
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – the same as paqad] they shall perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he [the LORD] is the former [yatsar – the creator, the potter who formed the earth] of all things; and Israel is the rod [shebet – the scepter to rule] of his inheritance [in whom He dwells]: The LORD of hosts [a man of war] is his name. [This verse appears verbatim in Jeremiah 51:19, followed by, “you are my battle axe and weapons of war: for with you will I break in pieces the nations, and with you will I destroy {evil} kingdoms;]
17 Gather up your wares [kin’ah – only used here, meaning pack to take with you] out of the land [the old and corrupt earth], O inhabitant of the fortress.
18 For thus says the LORD, Behold [you will see it], I will sling out [qala’ – as when David “slung” the stone that brought down Goliath, after which David cut off his head with his own sword] the inhabitants of the land [‘erets – the earth] at this once [pa’am – now, at this time], and will distress [tsarah – in tribulation] them, that they may find it so.
19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous [chalah – by the use of this word the LORD refers us to its appearance in Psalms 77:10]; but I said, Truly this is a grief [choliy – with this the LORD refers us to its only other use by Jeremiah, in Jeremiah 6:7; also the “grief” of the LORD’s anointed, Isaiah 53:3 & 4, from Whom His voice is heard revealing the arm of the LORD], and I must bear it [nasa’ – from which my head shall be lifted, exalted].
20 My tabernacle is spoiled [describing the grievousness and the grief], and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper [sakal], and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons [tanniyn – of whales and serpents, with their ever wide-open mouths, swallowing men and nations into the belly of hell].
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself [but only by Your word does man live]: it is not in man that walks to direct his steps [for without Your guidance they go astray].
24 O LORD, correct me [back onto the right way], but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on your name [identity]: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

Luke 19
37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples [students of His teaching] began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the LORD: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke your disciples.
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side,
44 And shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall [scatter you] not leave in you one stone upon another; because you knewest not the time of your visitation.
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but you have made it a den of thieves.
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

All the following is from the post of 17 January 2024:

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 [choliy]: 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 esteem of God].
4 Surely he has borne our griefs [choliy], 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 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.

Psalms 77
A Psalms of Asaph [the Gatherer]
1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
2 In the day of my trouble [tsarah – this tribulation] I sought the LORD [‘Adonay – the King of kings]: my sore ran [yad nagar – my power left me] in the night [this time when ignorance covers the earth], and ceased not: my soul [sleeping in death] refused to be comforted [by the word of God leading me into all truth and life].
3 I remembered [zakar] God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed [‘ataph – was shrouded, covered by my own confusion]. Selah [think and understand this].
4 You [LORD] hold [‘achaz – seized] my eyes [‘ayin] waking [shmurah – only used here, meaning to awaken by opening them]: I am so troubled [pa’am – to agitate the spirit, by truth contradicting the thoughts {the confusion of mind} into awaking] that I cannot speak [as I should].
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance [zakar] my song [ngiynah – Your word sent to me of old] in the night [to give light in previous times of darkness]: I commune [siyach – I heard Your voice conversing] with my own heart [in my mind]: and my spirit made diligent search [for You in Your written word sent to me as a wheel within a wheel: understand sent to give understand, which is light and life].
7 Will the LORD [‘Adonay] cast off [zanach – reject us] forever [‘owlam – through all eternity]? and will he be favorable no more [yacaph – no longer adding to His family]?
8 Is his mercy clean gone forever [netsach – no longer the bright light we’ve journeyed toward]? does his promise fail for evermore [dowr – ending with this generation]?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious [not giving us His gift of light, to correct us]? has he in anger shut up his tender mercies [His promise to correct and not destroy those who trust in Him alone]? Selah [think, and know He is still the same, never wavering from Himself or His promises].
10 And I said, This is my infirmity [chalah – self-imposed grievousness of not remembering, not recognizing, not comprehending Him in His conversation and work before our eyes manifesting His presence as He always has, direct interaction with our minds eye]: but I will remember the years of the right hand [Your long-suffering our ignorance of Your presence in the word and work] of the Most High.
11 I will remember [zakar] the works of the LORD: surely I will remember [zakar] your [eye opening] wonders of old.
12 I will meditate also of all your work, and talk [siyach – converse with You] of your doings.
13 Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary [qodesh – the holy of holies, where Your presence is manifested above Your mercy seat, in the conversation]: who is so great a God as our God?
14 You are the God that does wonders: you have declared your strength among the people.
15 You have with your arm [Your work] redeemed your people [from confusion and death], the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah [think].
16 The waters [the words of ignorance that have darkened the world] saw you, O God, the waters saw you; they were afraid: the depths [what men thought they knew] also were troubled.
17 The clouds [where understanding was held, reserved, in its separated elements, to be congealed and sent in this time of the LORD’s righteous warfare] poured out water: the skies sent out a sound [qowl – Your voice thundering from this place of understanding: light]: your arrows also went abroad [halak – walked, gave understanding to Your way, of which the wise of this world are ignorant].
18 The voice [qowl] of your thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way is in the sea [among humanity at large], and your path in the great waters [sent by You from heaven], and your footsteps are not known [to the dead and ignorant].
20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses [Your chosen who was drawn, separated, from the waters below: the words of ignorant men] and Aaron [sent bearing the light given as received, to give it freely].

Jeremiah 6
1 O you children of Benjamin [the last born generation, in this time of darkness, who are become My right hand], gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem [the old and corrupt, were the wicked are seated in high places of power], and blow the trumpet [calling all to gather to the LORD in His ONE BODY] in Tekoa [among the prisoners], and set up a sign of fire [mas’eth – an utterance, as beacon of light, the gift given from the mouth of LORD] in Bethhaccerem [this family that is My vineyard]: for evil appears [is now seen] out of the north [the places of ignorance: principalities and powers, where are seated the rulers of the darkness of this world], and great destruction.
2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
3 The shepherds [wicked misleaders] with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
4 Prepare you war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon [now when the sun is fully risen upon her]. Woe unto us! for the day [the time of light: understanding] goes away [in the war against it], for the shadows of the evening are [now] stretched out [covering the earth in confusion and ignorance].
5 Arise, and let us go by night [in this time of which the wicked are ignorant, not knowing they have sown to the wind and now reap the whirlwind], and let us destroy her palaces.
6 For thus has the LORD of hosts [a man of war] said, Hew you down trees [the falsely so-called upright and wise of this wicked and wholly corrupt world], and cast a mount against [old and corrupt] Jerusalem [the places in church and state where sustainable peace and mutual security should be taught and propagated: broadcast, but instead deception and oppression]: this is the city to be visited [paqad – by the LORD, who is the Chief Overseer of the earth]; she is wholly oppressed in the midst of her.
7 As a fountain [broad] casts out her waters [of deception, by which the wicked power rule], so she casts out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard [shama’ – obeyed] in her; before me continually is grief [choliy – against which the LORD with us has necessarily long-suffered] and wounds.
8 Be you instructed, O Jerusalem [My new creation, My ONE BODY, the city wherein righteousness dwells], lest my [immortal] soul depart from you; lest I make you desolate, a land not inhabited.
9 Thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war], They [the wicked] shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back your hand as a grape-gatherer into the baskets [return My people to Me, which you have cut off from the vine: from hearing My word].
10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear [shama’ – obey]? behold, their ear is uncircumcised [only obeying the flesh that cut them off from hearing this voice as My voice], and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand [My work, in My word] upon the inhabitants [the people at large, here rising upon them as the sun shining this understanding upon all, from east to west] of the land [‘erets – upon the earth], says the LORD.
13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one deals falsely.
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace [but instead war and destruction are hidden in their words].
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them [paqad – now when I’ve manifested My presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
16 Thus says the LORD, “Stand you in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your [immortal] souls.” But they said, “We will not walk therein.”
17 Also I set watchmen over you [manifesting My presence in them, making them overseers with My authority], saying, “Hearken to the sound of the trumpet.” But they said, “We will not hearken.”
18 Therefore hear [shama’ – obey], you nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
19 Hear [shama’ – obey], O earth: behold [look and see], I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
20 To what purpose comes there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
21 Therefore thus says the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbor and his friend shall perish.
22 Thus says the LORD, Behold, a people comes from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against you, O daughter of Zion [the army now mixed among you and in power, of which you remain ignorant].
24 We have heard [shama’ – obeyed] the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish has taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail [refusing to bring forth her king].
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side [against those who obey them].
26 O daughter of my people [who are My faithful remnant], gird you with sackcloth [mourn for this people who are poised to be destroyed], and wallow yourself in ashes [of this world’s ruin]: make you mourning, as for an only son [refusing correction and choosing self-destruction], most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly [pith’own] come upon us.
27 I have set you for a tower [raised up by seeing as I see] and a fortress among my people, that you mayest know and try their way.
28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melts in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away [their corruption isn’t drawn out or purged away].
30 Reprobate silver [refusing to be separated from corruption, in this trial by fire] shall men call them, because the LORD has rejected them [that have rejected His word and work to save them].

Isaiah 53
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; 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 before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation [those who have long-suffered with Me, for the sake of My dead body]? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
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 him; he has put him to grief [chalah]: when you 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 death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

The following are excerpts from the post of 6 – 8 April 2023:

O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walks to direct his steps.

The LORD begins above in Jeremiah 10:23, speaking of authentic intelligence, which we must understand. In the previous post, we briefly discussed those who seek the commendation of men, an approval that comes by agreement, which is temporally and falsely called “intelligence” by this evil generation.

It (this evil generation) fails on all accounts when tested against the true definition of intellect, which is (from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary) a: the power of knowing as distinguished from the power to feel and to will: the capacity for knowledge; b: the capacity for rational or intelligent thought, especially when highly developed.

The result of this lack (elevating feelings and will into opinions substituted for knowledge) is the inability to solve complex problems and instead acting irrationally, ignorantly supposing and proposing them (irrational acts) as such (solutions).

As we know, this is the dilemma spiritually described as captivity in Babylon (confusion that now rules the world), which the LORD let run its course and blossom into mass delusion (insanity: the inability to distinguish between reality and the delusions your strayed minds have created).

As policy, the condition is intentionally imposed through programming by those who removed God from their knowledge and then taught what produced weakness of minds they could control and (parasitically) consume. This (weakness’) end (self-evident to those awakened to reality) includes the inability to recognize the presence of the attack within (paradoxically disguising itself in the feeling of superiority and a conscience corrupted by deceitful data entered), and instead, rejecting it as the cause, believes the cure (a sound mind) is the threat, which, in defense of the cause, must be combatted (attacked and destroyed).

This (the process of demoralization) is alluded to in the title verse, as the “way” and “walk” of man directed by men who’ve created gods they put in the place of the true and living God with us. He is here and always has been for those who choose to hear Him, and when learning His ways and walk (Good Programming in us), He gives us understanding, which is the light and life of men of sound minds.

So, don’t believe the modern churches that have devolved into telling you all you have to do is believe (them, and the gods they call by the name of the true God they reject). The “grace” they are ignorant of, by which you are saved, is the mind of the LORD God in us, by learning His ways and ideas, the free education He gives to all who receive it (His mind).

Colossians 2
6 As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the LORD, so walk you in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain [worthless] deceit [of this evil generation], after the tradition of men, after the rudiments [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas] of the world, and not after Christ [the LORD manifested in the flesh of those He sends to teach and lead].
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ [removing the flesh and seeing the LORD within]:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also you are risen with him through the faith [believing He is risen in the flesh of those the LORD sends] of the operation of God, who has raised him from the dead.

Romans 12
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, [the gift] to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in ONE BODY, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being many, are ONE BODY in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Philippians 3
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my LORD: for whom I have suffered the loss of all [worthless and unneeded] things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith [that it is Him in the flesh, working and speaking]:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those [worthless and unneeded] things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those [needed] things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal [apokalupto] even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an example.
18 (For many walk [their own way], of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Matthew 11
I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because you have hid [apokrupto] these things from the wise [sophos] and prudent [of the world], and have revealed [apokalupto] them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 All things [needed] are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and LEARN of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Zechariah 4
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Know you not what these be? And I said, No, my LORD.
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel [in the king line of Judah {David thru Jesus} – born again by coming out of confusion], saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit [working and speaking in the flesh], says the LORD of hosts [a man of war].
7 Who are you, O great mountain [the corrupt in power]? before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone [the seed of Joseph, like Joshua the son of Nun, from where comes the shepherd and stone] thereof with shouting, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 The hands [the work] of Zerubbabel [by coming out of confusion] have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you.
10 For who has despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet [the measuring line] in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven [the angels of the seven churches]; they are the [single] eyes of the LORD [seeing as He sees], which run to and fro [with an everlasting gospel to preach] through the whole earth.
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick [from whom the LORD’s shines] and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Know you not what these be? And I said, No, my LORD.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones [Joshua and Zerubbabel – here the cleansed priesthood and the children the LORD has given them], that stand by the LORD [‘adown – king, here referring to the seed of Joseph, Shiloh: tranquility {restoring calm} of the whole earth].

Revelation 15
1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up [the anointing oil that makes them shine] the wrath of God.
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass [the people calmed away from those agitating them] mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast [Babylon – the confusion that ruled over the world], and over his image, and over his mark [in his words and works, ideas and ways, in head and hand], and over the number of his name [ashes of the world he ruined, the dust in which he slithers {Strong’s Hebrews Dictionary number 666, the number of a man, assigned by James Strong}, in which he hides his identity], stand on the sea of glass [in our victory over death, calming the people of the new earth], having the harps of God.
3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are your works, LORD God Almighty; just and true are your ways, you King of saints.
4 Who shall not fear you, O LORD, and glorify your name? [Yahh – to whom it appertains] for you only are holy [pure of all corruption]: for all nations shall come and worship before you; for your judgments are made manifest [phaneroo].
5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
6 And the seven angels [the messengers with the LORD’s message] came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles [the preparation of these treasure].
7 And one of the four beasts [Ezekiel 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces {presence}, they four had the face of a man {in whom the mystery of godliness is revealed}, and the face {as presence} of a lion {a king roaring: speaking this word from the mouth of God}, on the right side: and they four had the face {presence} of an ox {working in the earth, the Spirit of the LORD moving} on the left side; they four also had the face {presence} of an eagle {by the LORD strength, full understanding, flying in the heavens}.] gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.
8 And the temple was filled with smoke [to rid it of the vermin that were before infesting it] from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels [cleansing the seven churches: the now corrupt institutions] were fulfilled.

These seven plagues are poured out in the following chapter (Revelation 16), revealing the infestation’s cause and effect. The cleansing thereof occurs when the seventh angel clears the air of smoke, pouring his vial into it. His voice is then heard from the throne in the temple saying, “It is done,” referring to the last verse above fulfilled.

The air (aer – same word as in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, where we meet the LORD) is telling where the smoke comes from, referring to the words use in Revelation 9:2, when the star falls from heaven (no longer having full understanding), and opens the bottomless pit (the endless fall, once it starts, of man away from God). Out of this pit comes smoke that darkens the air and sun (so none could see the way, and the church became filled with ignorance: without light). It says, in this smoke are locusts (devouring all that grows on the earth), who have power like scorpions, but they don’t hurt any green thing, only those men who don’t have the seal of God (His protective understanding) in their heads.

These scorpions torment men with their strikes: their words, as venom doing its damage inside, rotting men’s minds over time. We are told these locusts, with bites (their messages) like scorpions, have a king over them, who is the messenger (angel) of the bottomless pit. This king is given names that mean destroyer and destruction.

The men who subsequently follow, still in the endless fall away, whose strength and voice (as horses they ride with word as if roaring from lions) out of whose mouth comes that same (blinding ignorance) smoke, with fire and brimstone. These are the corrupt teaching of false prophets that follows, whose tails (the effect, what they cause) are like serpents, now not just tormenting and rotting minds but killing men’s (already rotted) minds.

In the following chapter (Revelation 10), the seventh angel sounds, revealing the thunders that were mysteries.

Revelation 10
5 And the [seventh] angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And swore by him that lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time [chronos] no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound [be heard as the only voice of God], the mystery [musterion] of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets.

Friends, the world is now again become without form and void, filled with confusion and emptiness, an effect caused by many voices babbling opinions, feelings uncontrolled by their own ignorant will. This is hell, and all are dead, and the only way out of death and hell is hearing the One Voice of the LORD and following His instructions.

In Revelation 16, between the sixth and seventh angel sounding, the LORD tells of manifesting His presence (name and identity) through (with and in) the seventh messenger (the only voice speaking for Him, with His authority),

after men began worshipping confusion (taking the mark in their hand and head: in their works and words: their ways and ideas),

and all the waters became blood, words draining life from the world, and all living became dead,

and all the rivers of blood continued to flow the blood of dead men, keeping all dead in hell,

5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, You are righteous, O LORD, which are, and was, and shall be, because you have judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, LORD God Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.

and the church caused men to pass through the fires their darkness caused, and they vilified God’s word and work to correct them and refused His calls for them to repent,

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat [of power] of the beast [the confusion that rules the world]; and his kingdom was full of darkness [ignorance]; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates [from where the word of God once flowed producing the fruitfulness of the earth]; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean [defiled] spirits like frogs [which were before hidden below the surface of the waters: evil in their words] come out of the mouth of the dragon [those who, as serpents and whales, swallow men into the belly of hell], and out of the mouth of the beast [the insanity, Babylon that rules the world], and out of the mouth of the false prophet [the known liars and false accusers in church and state media].
14 For they are the spirits of devils [misleaders who put themselves in God’s place], working miracles [saying they are opening eyes to knowledge not before known], which go forth unto the kings [ruling powers] of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty [at the time He decreed, which no man knows].

The LORD then speaks of this moment, when He has come and done His work, of which none are aware;

15 Behold, I [have] come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame [disappointment when what {I Am} they didn’t expect comes].
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon [this mountain of the rendezvous at this decreed time].
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air [clearing the smoke so everything is clearly seen as it is]; and there came a [one] great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne [of God], saying, “It is done.”
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake [to shake the wicked from heaven and earth], and so great. [Are you ready?]
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away [and this word of God will be heard in all the places that have been without it], and the mountains [the high places, seats of power of the wicked] were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven [this word reserved there for this moment, sent to destroy the current crop of corrupt leaders], every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Isaiah 28
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which are in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us [self-righteously and arrogantly thinking your ways and ideas are perfect]: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus says the LORD God, 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 [not be ashamed].
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 shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down [as a corrupt crop] 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 – it is the voice of Jehovah heard].

Psalms 98
1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he has done marvelous things [opening our eyes to things needed]: his right hand, and his holy arm, have gotten him the victory.
2 The LORD has made known his salvation: his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the heathen.
3 He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
5 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.
7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
9 Before [in the presence of] the LORD; for he comes to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in your hand. And the sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.

2 – 3 April 2024

And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in your hand. And the sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.

The LORD begins today in the above, Ezekiel (strengthened by God) 37:17 & 20, speaking of the many now scatter tribes (as sticks: ‘ets as the many made one, and shebet as the ONE BODY) as dead bones that come from death to life. This resurrection is generated (quickened) by the LORD’s work (through His people as His hand), as breath from his mouth moving upon the darkened deep, His voice heard, calling the dead to awaken and rise into the light.

In the verses between the title verses, the LORD tells Ezekiel (in verse 17), “And when the children of your people shall speak unto you, saying, ‘Will you not show us what you mean by these?’” And in verse 18 then saying “Say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; ‘Behold, I will take the stick [‘ets] of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim [God’s people in the last and first generation], and the tribes [shebet] of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick [‘ets] of Judah, and make them one stick [‘ets], and they shall be one in my hand.’”

As we know, the shebet is the scepter to rule, which is above spoken of demonstrating the consent of the governed, joined with the new (crop of) leaders (Judah, who is the Judas, the old crop of corrupt leader, who previously betrayed Him for money), the elect remnant first raised, all becoming ONE BODY in the hand the LORD says, is “mine” and “your,” speaking of His and Ezekiel’s (the Son of man, which, appellatively, the LORD calls Ezekiel, and himself at His presence manifested in the flesh).

The (appellative) name Ezekiel comes from words El, meaning God, and chazaq, meaning “to fasten upon; hence, to seize, be strong (figuratively, courageous, causatively strengthen, cure, help, repair, fortify), obstinate; to bind, restrain, conquer,” which together speak of the Son of man as the firstborn by and for these purposes, to raise his brethren (the mission on which I Am sent).

This mission, as was Noah’s and Abraham’s (which we saw in the previous post described in Hebrews 11:7 & 8), is to go and follow the LORD’s commands as given, never wavering from it, always knowing the LORD controls the outcome, and depending on Him alone to accomplish it as He sees best for the good of those to whom He sends us.

The following are excerpts, Hebrews 11 & 12, from the abovementioned post.

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.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world [who refused the preparation that was prepared before their eyes], and became heir [patterning this new heaven and earth] of the righteousness which is by faith.
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.

39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided [this pure preparation] some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect [reaching this expected end].

Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses [those in whom this word now dwells, as a preparation to be from them given], let us lay aside every weight, and the sin [the errors of corruption] which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners [the corrupt] against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not you the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
6 For whom the LORD loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.

In Ezekiel’s documenting the LORD’s charge given him, the LORD speaks of making his forehead (the thoughts always in the forefront of his mind) as adamant as flint, again referring back to the previous post and Isaiah 50:7 & 11, also excerpted below.

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 vain 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, without the understanding held there unknown in the deep waters].
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness [the ignorance that now covers the world, present in the places where understanding should be found], 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 [My presence against which these men’s strikes produce the sparks], 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 obeys [shama’] the voice of his servant [speaking His word as commanded], that walk in darkness [ignorance come from remaining in corruption], 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 [ziyqah]: walk in the light [understanding] of your [own strange] fire, and in the sparks [ziyqah] 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, sleeping in your own corruption].

Ezekiel 3
1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man [I Am], eat [diligently search for Me in My word] that you find; eat this roll [this written word sent to you as a wheel within a wheel, understanding sent forward to, in the full circuit of the age, give the same understanding to those to whom the LORD sends it], and go speak unto the house of Israel.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this roll that I give you. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness [that is stronger than the strength of lions, as in Samson’s riddle].
4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get you unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words [you found when, by your faith, I revealed them in your diligent search] unto them.
5 For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel [now the dead body of Christ, as dead bones];
6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have hearkened [shama’ – heard and obeyed] unto you.
7 But the house of Israel [the dead body of Christ] will not hearken [shama’ – hear and obey] unto you; for they will not hearken [shama’ – hear and obey] unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
8 Behold, I have made your face [paniym – My presence manifested in you] strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads [like the cherubim, face to face above the mercy seat, where My presence is manifested in the conversation].
9 As an adamant [shamiyr – like a thorn that will pierce their ear and enter their minds, as My word effectually works to change them] harder than flint [tsor – a five times used word referring us to Isaiah 5:28 speaking of the LORD’s work in this moment] have I made your forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
11 And go, get you to them of the captivity [this refers to Ezekiel 12:39, in Babylon where the dead body of Christ is unaware it is the confusion into which they’ve come], unto the children of your people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus says the LORD God; whether they will hear [shama’ – and obey], or whether they will forbear [chadal – leaving undone what is commanded].
12 Then the spirit took me up [exalted His word above all others], and I heard [shama’ – and obeyd] behind me a voice [qowl] of a great rushing [ra’ash – in Jeremiah 12:18, the bread, the roll, eaten with ”quaking” that guards and protects against corruption, first, as an example to be followed, from the Son of man; and in Ezekiel 37:7 it’s the “shaking” that brings the dead bones together], saying, Blessed be the glory [the manifested presence] of the LORD from his place.
13 I heard also the noise [qowl – the voice of the LORD in this conversation above His mercy seat] of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another [bringing understanding, the life in the word, from the giver to the receive], and the noise [qowl – the voice] of the wheels [the understand sent, and when received, heard from the receiver] over against them, and a noise [qowl – the voices] of a great rushing [ra’ash – the quaking and shaking that guard and protect against corrupting the message, and brings the bone, the dead body of Christ, together, as many sticks gathered into one].
14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness [as this understand I documented was corrupted after Ezekiel’s, the Son of man’s, death], in the heat of my spirit [man’s corruption poisoning the spirit in these words]; but the hand of the LORD was strong [chazaq – His strength remained] upon me [reserved in this word sent forward, until He again brings it to light].
15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib [a city in Babylon, meaning the mounding of the flood, as corrupt growth from the earth] that dwelt by the river of Chebar [the river carrying this word “far-off” into time, until it reached this moment], and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished [shamem – stupefied, this word not understood] among them seven days.
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days [on the eighth day, the first day of this new creation], that the word of the LORD came [again giving understanding] unto me [the Son of man, I Am], saying,
17 Son of man, I have made you a watchman [tsaphah – a seer, seeing what is coming] unto the house of Israel: therefore hear [shama’ – and obey] the word at my mouth, and give them warning [zahar – gleaming, this enlightenment; the word first appears in Exodus 18:20 where it rendered “teaching”] from me [speaking His word as commanded, as I Am, manifesting His presence, and declaring it is Him and His words].
18 When I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die; and you [refusing to hear and obey My voice] give him not warning [zahar – enlightenment], nor speak [My words as commanded] to warn [zahar – teach] the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
19 Yet if you warn [zahar – teach, enlighten] the wicked, and he turns not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have [by following My commands, and heeding My warnings] delivered your soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him [as I Am], he shall die: because you have not given him warning zahar – this teaching], he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
21 Nevertheless if you warn [zahar – teach] the righteous man [as I do], that the righteous sin not, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned [zahar – is enlightened]; also you have delivered your soul.
22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise [to life], go forth into the plain [into plain sight declaring My presence], and I will there talk with you.
23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory [the manifested presence] of the LORD stood there in the conversation, bringing light to His written word sent to me], as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar [in His word sent “far-off” as a wheel within a wheel]: and I fell on my face [paniym – understanding His presence I subordinated my will to His].
24 Then the spirit entered into me [My dead body, the dead body of Christ – as in Ezekiel 37:14], and set me upon my feet, and spoke with me, and said unto me, Go, shut yourself within your house.
25 But you, O son of man, behold, they shall [before they rise from the dead] put bands upon you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:
26 And I will make your tongue cleave [dabaq – remain one flesh with Me] to the roof of your mouth [chek – as sweetness in your mouth alone], that you shall be [to them] dumb [thought to not be speaking of or in the name of the LORD – see Amos 6:10 below], and shall not be [received] to them [as] a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.
27 But when I speak [dabar – speaking of the LORD’s voice realized as His mind is revealed] with you; referring to the word’s usage in Ezekiel 37:14 & 19], I will open your mouth, and you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih – the King of kings and the LORD of lords]; He that hears [shama’ – hears this report, the shmuw’ah, as the voice of Jehovah], let him hear [shama’ – hear and obey]; and he that forbears [chadal – refusing to believe the report is the LORD’s voice of warning], let him forbear [chadal – refusing to hear Him, and not obey]: for they are a rebellious house.

Ezekiel 37
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and [foretold] the breath [life breathed into them from My mouth] came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel [the are the dead body of Christ that remains asleep in death]: behold, they say, Our bones are dried [without the LORD’s word], and our hope [of resurrection] is lost: we are cut off [and scattered] for [from] our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land [‘adamah – this new generation in My new creation] of Israel [the name I’ve given to the awakened body of Christ, those knowing the time, who receive the promise I made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob].
13 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall you know that I the LORD have spoken [dabar] it [realizing it is My voice manifesting My presence], and performed it [brought you into the promise, quickening you from death into life], says the LORD.

John 5
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, these also [seeing as the Father sees] does the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does [which is the Father witnessing to His son]: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them; even so the Son quickens [from death into life] whom he will.
22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment [krisis] unto the Son [making Him the light men must accept, life and death set before humanity, and choosing not to receive him, not receive the correction of the One who sent Him as His identity manifested in his flesh, is the choice by which men condemn themselves to remain forever in darkness, death, and hell]:
23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believes on him that sent me [as His I Am], has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation [krisis]; but is passed from death unto life. [This is simple to understand: the simplicity of what is made plain when the Father speaks through His chosen son.]
25 Truly, truly, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and NOW IS, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And has given him [His] authority [exousia – His power, as His arche, His government instituted on earth as it is in heaven] to execute [poieo – as in Hebrews 12:27, saying “25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made [poieo – executed into existence, by obedience doing as commanded], that those things [executed by the son speaking] which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom [of heaven on earth] which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire.”] judgment [krisis] also, because he is the Son of man [the Father manifesting His presence in the flesh].
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves [here sleeping in death in hell] shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done [poieo] good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done [prasso – habitually commit] evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of my own self do [poieo] nothing: as I hear [the voice of My Father speaking], I judge [krino – make known the distinction between good and evil]: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.
33 You sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say [My Father in me speaking], that you might be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining light [as the sign of the end calling all to repentance]: and you were willing for a season [until he called you also] to rejoice in his light.
36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish [in those who obeyed John’s call to repentance, the necessary precursor], the same works that I do [poieo – obeying and instituting the Father’s government here on the earth as it is in heaven], bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.
37 And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time [speaking in me, through me], nor seen his shape [manifested in my flesh].
38 And [because you have not heard or seen Him] you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he has sent, him you believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And you will not come to me, that you might have life.
41 I receive not honor from men.
42 But I know you, that you have not the love [agape] of God in you [I know, because if you did hear and see Him, you would obey and give His word as receive from Him].
43 I am come in my Father’s name [identity], and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive [as you have the many false Christs you now follow].
44 How can you believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that comes from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust.
46 For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?

Deuteronomy 18
15 The LORD your God will raise up unto you a Prophet from the midst of you, of your brethren, like unto me; unto him you shall hearken [shama’ – hear and obey the commands of the LORD heard from him];
16 According to all that you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb [in the desolation when He taught us away from the ways of oppression] in the day of the assembly [when they heard His voice], saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God [let us not cause the LORD to repeat Himself over and over again, repeating things He’s already plainly stated], neither let me see this great fire [in which His presence is manifested] any more, that I die not.
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 [repeating My words as received] unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

Proverbs 29
1 He, that being often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bears rule [as they do this day], the people mourn.

Ezekiel 37
15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, you son of man, take you one stick [‘ets], and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick [‘ets] of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick [‘ets]; and they shall become one in your hand.
18 And when the children of your people shall speak unto you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
19 Say [dabar] unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will take the stick [‘ets] of Joseph [whose birthright is the throne], which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes [shabet – the scepter to rule: the consent of the governed to be governed] of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick [‘ets] of Judah, and make them [all] one stick [‘ets], and they shall be one in my hand.
20 And the sticks [‘ets – the scattered bones] whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes [as I have here written as commanded, as the LORD’s author and finisher, with His authority to institute His government on the earth as it is in heaven].
21 And say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen [from among those who haven’t known Me], whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation [under God – under-standing] in the land [‘erets – the earth] upon the mountains of Israel [God’s government over His people, as He intended it, to secure their rights as given by Me]; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David [dowd – the beloved, an appellative also used of Timothy, and of the elect remnant] my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land [‘erets – the earth] that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince forever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen [who haven’t known Me] shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel [separating them from the corrupt and confused, the insane that now rule the earth here in hell], when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

Amos 6 [from the post of 25 March 2024]
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 [[dowd]];
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 not be broken]? 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?

Many times in the New Testament, the voice of the LORD, the Father, is said to be heard from heaven declaring, “This is My belove son, in whom I Am well pleased,” which refers to Isaiah 42:1.

Isaiah 42
1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles [those who haven’t know Me].
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street [as in Ezekiel 3:26].
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench [but shall trim it to bring forth a full flame]: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he has set judgment in the earth: and the isles [dry places in the sea] shall wait for his law.
5 Thus says God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; he that gives breath [life from His mouth] unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6 I the LORD have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light [understanding] of the Gentiles [who haven’t known Me];
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness [ignorance] out of the prison house [of men’s taught corruption].
8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images [these same men have created, put in My place, and call by My name].
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things [heaven, earth, and man in them] do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar [darkness] does inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing [those who know the LORD present with us, in us, repeat this word He has given us], let them shout [as His messengers, His angels speaking His words and declare His presence] from the top of the mountains.
12 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands [the dry places of the sea, His people who’ve been without His authentic word].
13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man [I Am], he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war [I Am]: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still [as the LORD says in Ezekiel 3:26 above], and refrained myself: now will I cry [opening My mouth as spoken of in Ezekiel 3:27] like a travailing woman [to bring forth My children]; I will destroy and devour at once.

The word rendered “dumb,” in Ezekiel 3:26 above, is (the nine times used Hebrew word) ‘alam, meaning “to tie fast; hence (of the mouth) to be tongue-tied:–bind, be dumb, put to silence.” It refers us to the two other places Ezekiel used it, in Ezekiel 24:27 & 33:22, both speaking of when the mouths of the truly dumb, understand and open, as commanded.

Ezekiel 24
12 She has wearied herself with lies, and her great scum [the corruption of lies] went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire [created by their corrupt conversations void of truth].
13 In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged you, and you were not purged, you shall not be purged from your filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon you.
14 I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways, and according to your doings, shall they judge you, says the LORD God.
15 Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
16 Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet neither shall you mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of your head upon you, and put on your shoes upon your feet [to depart from corruption], and cover not your lips [speak openly, in plain sight], and eat not the bread [leavened with the corruption] of men.
18 So I spoke unto the people in the morning [this word of the LORD as the light of this new day]: and at even my wife died [the church that calls herself by My name but remains far from Me: the body of Christ now sleeping in death]; and I did in the morning [when the LORD gave His understanding, giving it as received] as I was commanded.
19 And the people said unto me, Will you not tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?
20 Then I answered them, [and told them] The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left shall fall by the sword [this word of God His people refuse to hear and obey as His word].
22 And you shall do as I have done [following me, taking up His cross: the necessary sacrifice to deliver His message as receive, declaring it His presence manifested for the salvation of those who receive Him]: you shall not cover your lips [hearing Him, you will obey and open your mouths], nor eat the bread [leavened with the corruption] of men.
23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet [departing the corruption that blinded the world and hold it in hell’s prison]: you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away [the corrupt that was in you shall melt away] for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another [for those we know are the dead in hell].
24 Thus Ezekiel [strengthened by the LORD] is unto you a sign: according to all that he has done shall you do: and when this comes [as it now has], you shall know that I Am the LORD God.
25 Also, you son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their [corrupt] strength, the [corrupt] joy of their [corrupt] glory, the desire of their eyes, and that [corruption] whereupon they set their minds, [the corruption of] their sons and their daughters,
26 That he that escapes [corruption] in that day shall come unto you, to cause you to hear [My word spoken by them as received] it with your ears?
27 In that day shall your mouth be opened [as the unsealed word understood] to him which is escaped, and you shall speak, and be no more [unto them as] dumb [‘alam]: and you shall be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I Am the LORD.

Ezekiel 33
1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land [‘erets – the earth], if the people of the land [‘erets – the earth] take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman [tsaphah – seer of what is coming]:
3 If when he sees the sword [this word of God they refuse to receive as His word and presence] come upon the land [‘erets – the earth], he blows the trumpet [calling all to gather into the LORD’s safety], and warn [zahar – teach] the people;
4 Then whosoever hears the sound of the trumpet [this voice of His messenger], and take not warning [zahar – refusing this word and the safety found in this enlightenment]; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning [zahar – refused this teaching]; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning [zahar – receives this enlightenment] shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman [tsaphah – seeing these secret treasures, tsaphan] see [by the LORD’s sight] the sword come [to those refusing it], and blow not the trumpet [telling them it is the LORD manifesting His presence, calling all to gather to Him], and the people be not warned [zahar – refuse this enlightenment]; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s [tsaphah – refusing to obey and speak His warning; His enlightening message] hand.
7 So you, O son of man, I have set you a watchman [tsaphah] unto the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear the word at my mouth, and warn [zahar – enlighten] them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die; if you do not speak to warn [zahar – enlighten] the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
10 Therefore, O you son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus you speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away [maqaq – as in Zechariah 14:12 three times] in them, how should we then live? [Zechariah 14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem {the peace and safety the LORD 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 words against the LORD} shall consume {maqaq} away in their mouth.]
11 Say unto them, As I live, says the LORD God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
12 Therefore, you son of man, say unto the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sins.
13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he has committed, he shall die for it.
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 None of his sins that he has committed shall be mentioned unto him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17 Yet the children of your people say, The way of the LORD is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 Yet you say, The way of the LORD is not equal. O you house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of [the corruption of] Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
22 Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more [seen by God’s now enlightened people as] dumb [‘alam].
23 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes [chorbah – the desolate place] of the land [‘adamah – of humanity] of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land [‘erets – the earth] is given us for inheritance.
25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land [‘erets – the earth]?
26 You stand upon your sword [the word of your idols, which make men ignorant and confused], you work abomination [the creations you made-up, put in My place, and call by My name], and you defile every one his neighbor’s wife: and shall you possess the land [‘erets – the earth]?
27 Say you thus unto them, Thus says the LORD God; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes [chorbah] shall fall by the sword [this word they refuse], and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts [men without My Spirit] to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves [where they think they are safe] shall die of the pestilence [the dis-ease caused by their evil words, which they think hides them].
28 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her [corrupt] strength shall cease; and the [corrupt] mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
29 Then shall they know that I Am the LORD, when I have laid the land [’erets – the old and corrupt earth] most desolate because of all their abominations [creating idol they put in My place and called by My name] which they have committed.
30 Also, you son of man, the children of your people still are talking against you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from the LORD.
31 And they come unto you as the people comes, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their covetousness.
32 And, lo, you are unto them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear your words, but they do them not.
33 And when this comes to pass, (lo, it will come, [and has come]) then shall they know that a prophet has been among them.

Isaiah 5
14 Therefore hell has enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoices, shall descend into it.
15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
16 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
17 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
19 That [mockingly] say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink [that men consume, which blurs their minds into confusion, delusion, and now mass insanity]:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devour the stubble, and the flame consume the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war], and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcasses were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out [to pull {harpazo} them from the fires of hell] still.
26 And he will lift up an ensign [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted, as Moses lifted the fiery serpent in the wilderness, so the LORD’s voice heard from him is exalted above all others, and all who look to Him shall be saved from death that comes from the bites {the word} of the serpent mixed among them] to the nations [those who haven’t known the LORD, only knowing the idols men created, put in His pace, and call by His name] from far [rachowq – in this appointed time when the earth is ruled by men’s evil decrees, calling good evil and evil good], and will hiss unto them [drawing their attention away from evil voices mixed among them, to the LORD’s manifested presence in His word] from the end of the [old and corrupt] earth: and, behold [and they shall see as the LORD sees], [and] they shall come [to Him] with speed swiftly:
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle [‘ezowr – the pure provision He prepared, which they receive from Him] of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint [tsor], and their wheels [this understand sent to them] like a whirlwind [the LORD’s Almighty Spirit, from where His voice is heard:
29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.
30 And in that day they [God’s people He has strengthened] shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea [all His redeemed people at large]: and if one look unto the [old and corrupt] land [’erets – the earth], behold darkness [ignorance] and sorrow, and the light is darkened [understanding is turned to ignorance] in the [old and corrupt] heavens thereof.

The only other time zahar appears after the above is in Daniel 12:3, rendered “shall shine,” which describes when God’s faithful people are awakened from death and speak His enlightenment.

Daniel 12
1 And at that time shall Michael [who is like God] stand up [‘amad], the great prince which stands [‘amad] for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – this time of 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 book [when it is again opened].
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust [the ashes of the ruin] of the earth shall awake [be resurrected from death into life], some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [zahar – shall teach and enlighten] as the brightness of the firmament [this exposition]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel [judgment of God], shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets]: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge [da’ath – the knowledge of the LORD that now fills the earth – as in Habakkuk 2:14, saying “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge {da’ath} of the glory of the LORD, as the waters {His word} cover {in peace and safety} the sea.”] shall be increased.

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Ezekiel 12, speaking of the captivity, tells of when the LORD speaks (dabar), as declared (dabar) in His word (dabar) in Ezekiel 3:27 above.

Ezekiel 12
21 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
22 Son of man, what is that proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
23 Tell them therefore, Thus says the LORD God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say [dabar] unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect [dabar – the declaration] of every vision.
24 For there shall be no more any vain [worthless] vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25 For I am the LORD: I will speak [debar], and the word that I shall speak [debar] shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say [dabar – declare] the word [dabar], and will perform it, says the LORD God.
26 Again the word [dabar] of the LORD came to me, saying.
27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of the times that are far off [rachowq – in the future when the world is ruled by the decrees of evil men – ignorant that they are those men and the time is now].
28 Therefore say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; There shall none of my words [dabar] be prolonged any more, but the word [dabar] which I have spoken [dabar] shall be done, says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih – the King of kings and the LORD of lords].

Psalms 94
1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs; O God, to whom vengeance belongs, show yourself.
2 Lift up yourself, you judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Understand, you brutish among the people: and you fools, when will you be wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that chastises the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teaches man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom you chastens, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;
13 That you mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be dug for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frame mischief by a law?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.

Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

29 – 31 March 2024

Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

The LORD begins today in Jeremiah 13:16 above, which comes in a chapter we know begins with Him, to and through Jeremiah, speaking a parable about a “girdle” hidden in the earth.

As we also know, this “girdle” speaks of the LORD’s preparation: His word, treasures hidden therein, provision He made throughout history, to be revealed in these last days when humanity is threatened by the now apparent existential assault of its own evil against its ignorance, misleading the world, humanity, into suicide.

The word “girdle,” rendered from the fourteen times used (eight times in Jeremiah 13) Hebrew word ‘ezowr, meaning “from 246; something girt; a belt, also a band.” It’s from (246) ‘aziqqiym, which is said to be a variation of the seven times uses word ziyqah, again in the context of preparation, meaning “properly, what leaps forth, i.e. flash of fire, or a burning arrow; also (from the original sense of the root) a bond:– chain, fetter, firebrand, spark.”

Two of the seven times ziyqah is used are in Isaiah 50:11, a chapter we saw in the previous post, which is excerpted below (with today’s additions in double brackets).

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 vain 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 [[My presence against which these men’s strikes produce the sparks]], 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 obeys [shama’] the voice of his servant [speaking His word as commanded], that walk in darkness [ignorance come from remaining in corruption], 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 [[ziyqah]]: walk in the light [understanding] of your [own strange] fire, and in the sparks [[ziyqah]] 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 [[sleeping in your own corruption]]].

1 Thessalonians 4
9 But as touching brotherly love [giving this word to those, friend and foe, who need it] you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are [here and now] taught of God to love one another.
10 And indeed you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia [all the house, churches, full of dead, sleeping, flesh]: but we beseech you, brethren, that you increase more and more;
11 And that you study to be quiet [yourselves silencing the former corruption, speaking things that were not true, as do the dead], and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you [to given this understanding as received, because in it is the power to awaken the sleeping and raise the dead to life];
12 That you may walk honestly [with this truth] toward them that are without, and that you may have lack of nothing [because of these provisions the LORD has given you].
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope [because they don’t believe the dead rise or that the sleeping can be awakened].
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him [now when all but the very small elect remnant remain sleeping]. [Again I must digress: those saying a great awakening is happening now are incorrect. People are stirred, knowing evil is present as never before, but they remain asleep until they realize the light that has come, the present good that only comes from God and his word here preached and taught, by the small voice of His elect, who have been first raise by the Archangel manifesting His presence and calling all to God, the origin of the voice, into His united ONE BODY, resurrected from death as He pulls us from the fires of hell.]
15 For this we say unto you by the [this] word of the LORD, that we which are alive and remain [the elect who remain with Him, which is life in His light] unto the coming [parousia – meaning “a being near, i.e. advent (often, return; specially, of Christ to punish Jerusalem, or finally the wicked); (by implication) physically, aspect”] of the LORD shall not prevent [phthano] them which are asleep [without any signs of life, which is light shining from them once the eyes of their understanding are opened].
16 For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel [I Am the one He’s chosen to manifest His presence in me first, in this conversation at His mercy seat, in this judgment], and with the trump of God [calling all to awaken and gather to Him in His ONE BODY]: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up [harpazo – pulled from the fire of hell] together with them in the clouds [to His throne, wherein He sits clothed with full understanding], to meet [join as one flesh with] the LORD in the air [He’s cleared of the smoke from the bottomless pit, which darkened the church (the sun) and all the earth]: and so shall we ever be with the LORD.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Jude 1 [also excerpted from the previous post]
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 [[who remain alive with the LORD]]],
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.

The seven times used Greek word phthano, seen in 1 Thessalonians 4:15, rendered “prevent,” speaks of the elect not rising into the ONE BODY until the sleeping masses are wakened to the moment by hearing the LORD’s still small voice. It (phthano) means “to be beforehand, i.e. anticipate or precede; by extension, to have arrived at:–(already) attain, come, prevent.”

It (phthano) is used one other time as Paul speaks to the Thessalonians, in 1 Thessalonians 2:16 as he describes them receiving his word as the word of God, as it is, as this word is, and thereby (receiving the LORD’s Conversation) are “in the presence of the LORD Jesus Christ at His coming.” In this same description, he speaks of those he later, in 2 Thessalonians 2 & 3, calls the wicked who are sitting in God’s place opposing Him, who are their own countrymen, not allowing them to speak this same word of God to those who don’t know the LORD, upon which (wicked) the LORD’s wrath has come (as foretold by Enoch).

1 Thessalonians 2
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which tries our hearts.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children:
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because you were dear unto us.
9 For you remember, brethren, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children,
12 That you would walk worthy of God [renouncing “the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light {understanding} of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2 Corinthians 4], who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us [exactly as here and now], you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works [as the power changing your minds] also in you that believe.
14 For you, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judah are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen [as you do here and now], even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the LORD Jesus [as the false teachers and devil among us have, through their blinding corruption], and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak [this word of God, as received] to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath [the LORD’s vengeance in the same word, as is spoken of in Hebrews 10:30, quoting Deuteronomy 32: 35 & 36] is come [phthano] upon them to the uttermost [telos – this end the LORD determined, “from a primary tello (to set out for a definite point or goal); properly, the point aimed at as a limit, i.e. (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination (literally, figuratively or indefinitely), result (immediate, ultimate or prophetic), purpose); specially, an impost or levy (as paid)”].
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see [the LORD’s presence manifest in] your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come [erchomai – through speaking this word of God] unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan [the spirit in them working] hindered us.
19 For what is our hope [we wait for and fully expect], or joy [the LORD’s presence realized in you], or crown of rejoicing [when He is realized working and speaking in us]? Are not even you [who’ve received this word of God as His word, as it is] in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming [parousia]?
20 For you are our glory [when His presence is in you manifested] and joy [realized by you and those who through you hear and obey Him].

Matthew 12
24 But when the Pharisees [the religious, who’ve scattered the dead body of Christ] heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come [phthano] unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house [as the corrupt houses are spoiled by the present LORD].
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Ghost [the LORD speaking and working unknown to those dead in their own ignorance, proven by them not knowing it’s Him even as He tells them – Acts 13:41 Behold {see Him}, 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.], it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart [the foundational mind] the mouth speaks.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the [this] day of judgment.
37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from you.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah [coming from the belly of hell and calling all to repent]:
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly [and from there said, “I cried by reason of my affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and you heard my voice.]; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth [which is the habitation of the dead, in the grave in the earth, sheol].
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

As seen in previous posts: The name Nineveh leads us to the three times used Hebrew word niyn (meaning progeny), from the once-used word nuwn, meaning “to resprout, i.e. propagate by shoots; figuratively, to be perpetual.” As previously discussed, the proper name Nun (Nuwn) is of the father of Oshea (salvation or deliverer), whom Moses named Joshua (Jehovah’s Salvation). Joshua (Jesus – Jehovah’s Salvation personified) is the name (identity) of the perpetual son in whom Jehovah is manifested saving His people. In this context, in the above verse, the LORD’s people are identified by the name Nineveh, the dwelling place of the perpetual children of God (children of the Most High {‘elyown}), who rise in judgment in this last generation (the last of the old which becomes the first of the new).

The above definition is depicted in Psalms 72 where the word nuwn appears in verse 17.

Psalms 72
1 Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 He shall judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgment.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear you as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endures.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 His name shall endure forever: his name shall be continued [nuwn] as long [paniym – Jehovah’s perpetual presence in the king’s son] as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name forever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

Jeremiah 13
15 Hear [shama’ – and obey] you, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD has spoken.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
17 But if you will not hear [shama’ – and obey] it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and my eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock is carried away captive.
18 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north [out of darkness]: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
21 What will you say when he shall punish [paqad – come as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to] you? for you have taught them to be captains, and as chief over you: shall not sorrows take you, as a woman in travail?
22 And if you say in your heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts discovered, and your heels made bare.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may you also do good, that are accustomed to do evil [whose flesh mind is stained by darkness and misled you into desolation and tribulation].
24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of [their false doctrines: corruption they learned, which brought them into] the wilderness.
25 This is your lot [of those who refuse to hear His voice and obey His commands], the portion of your measures from me, says the LORD; because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

The point above, as we know, is found in the word shama’, which, in earlier verses, is used saying:

9 Thus says the LORD, After this manner will I mar [shachath – cause to decay into ruin] the pride of Judah [the preparation the leaders of God’s people corrupted, and in their pride refuse to hear My correction back to purity], and the great pride of Jerusalem [God’s people into which these unfaithful leaders worked their leaven, until the whole is corrupted and worthless]. [Matthew 16: 12 “Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of” their leaders who’ve corrupted God’s word as delivered and thereby led the world into darkness and death].
10 This evil people, which refuse to hear [shama’ – or obey] my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart [the creation of their own minds: abomination they put in My place and call by My name], and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle [‘ezowr – the preparation left them], which is good for nothing.
11 For as the girdle [‘ezowr] cleaves to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear [shama’].

The deeper meaning in these verses is found in the word dabaq, twice rendered “cleave” in verse 11, meaning “to impinge, i.e. cling or adhere; figuratively, to catch by pursuit.” It (dabaq) is speaking of God causing His people to depart from these unfaithful and corrupt men, and hear Him alone, joining Him in His ONE BODY as one flesh.

Ephesians 5
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

The first time the word (dabaq) appears is in Genesis 2:24, saying, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave {dabaq} unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”

The following verse (25) says, “And they were both naked [‘arowm], the man and his wife, and were not ashamed [realizing they reached the expected end].” This verse speaks of man’s creation from the ruin (dust: ashes) of the old earth, raised from death and hell, which are also naked before (in the presence of) the LORD (who sees everything).

Job 26
2 How [as God has] have you helped him that is without power? how [as God has] save you the arm that has no strength?
3 How [as God has] have you counselled him that has no wisdom? and how [as God has] have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom [as God has] have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters [in the darkened deep where understanding isn’t seen] and the [dead] inhabitants thereof.
6 Hell [sheol – the habitation of the dead] is naked [dabaq] before him, and destruction [in the words of corrupt men] has no covering [because He has removed it in this apocalypse].
7 He stretches out the north [revealing the darkness] over the empty place [tohuw – “without form” of Genesis 1:2 & Jeremiah 4:23, which the earth became and has become; and the “confusion” of Isaiah 34:11], and hangs [suspends the progress of] the earth upon nothing [the void – of understanding].
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds [where understanding is suspended, held in separated elements when it left the earth]; and the cloud is not rent under them [not sending it again to the earth, until the appointed time].
9 He holds back the face [paniym – the presence] of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it [as a curtain behind which it is hidden].
10 He has compassed [chuwg – meaning full circuit, and only appearing here] the waters with bounds [choq – His decreed appointed time], until the day and night [the time of light tuned to darkness – the full circle of the age] come to an end [takliyth – only used five times, meaning “completion; by implication, an extremity:–end, perfect(-ion)”].
11 The pillars [the established places where understanding should be found] of heaven tremble [so the wicked are shaken from them] and are astonished [tamahh – suddenly dumbfounded] at his reproof.
12 He divides the sea [separating humanity from those who’ve led them into darkness and hold them there in death and hell] with his power, and by his understanding [this light, that is life] he smites through the proud.
13 By his spirit he has garnished [shiphrah – only found here, meaning to fully furnished with light] the heavens; his hand [His work] has formed [chalal – wounded or dissolved] the crooked serpent [the misleaders who now flee away, as serpents slithering through the ruin they’ve made the earth, as seen in the constellations].
14 Lo, these are parts [qatsah – the ends of ages] of his ways: but how little a portion is heard [shama’ – is obeyed] of him? but the thunder [this voice of lightning] of his power who can understand [biyn]?

Deuteronomy 10
20 You shall fear the LORD your God; him shall you serve, and to him shall you cleave [dabaq], and swear by his name.
21 He is your praise, and he is your God, that has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen.

Deuteronomy 11
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
17 And then the LORD’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land [‘adamah – humanity’s new birth] yield not her fruit; and lest you perish quickly from off the good land [‘erets – the earth] which the LORD gives you.
18 Therefore shall you lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
19 And you shall teach them your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, when you lay down, and when you rise up.
20 And you shall write them upon the door posts of your house, and upon your gates:
21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land [‘adamah – humanity’s resurrection to life again in the LORD’s presence] which the LORD swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
22 For if you shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave [dabaq] unto him;
23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon [from the desolation of the high places where should be purity], from the river, the river Euphrates [this fruitful word that flows from God on high], even unto the uttermost [‘acharown] sea [this last generation in darkness] shall your coast [the limit of the old and corrupt heaven and earth] be.
25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land [‘erets – the earth] that you shall tread upon, as he has said unto you.
26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing [this word that flows from the mouth of God alone] and a curse [the doom that comes by cleaving to the corrupt men who’ve led you here into death and hell];
27 A blessing, if you obey [shama’] the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
28 And a curse, if you will not obey [shama’] the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.

Friends, the crux of the matter is faith: believing it is God speaking from the flesh He chooses, not as man sees, but as He Omnipotently sees.

As we’ve seen, the name Samuel is from the words shama’ and El, and speaks of those who do hear and believe, and then do as commanded – which is a simple message: to give His word as received, declaring it is Him alive coming to us, and then alive in us: those who receive Him and carry forward His message.

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.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world [who refused the preparation that was prepared before their eyes], and became heir [of this new heaven and earth] of the righteousness which is by faith.
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.

39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided [this pure preparation] some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect [reaching this expected end].

Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses [those in whom this word now dwells, as a preparation to be from them given], let us lay aside every weight, and the sin [the errors of corruotion] which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners [the corrupt] against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not you the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
6 For whom the LORD loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.

Isaiah 45
1 thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus [I Am – the LORD walking with us in the furnace], whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates [out of death and hell]; and the gates [into heaven] shall not be shut;
2 I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight [making pure what was corruopted]: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give you the treasures of darkness [this truth only hidden in men’s taught ignorance], and hidden riches of secret places, that you mayest know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name, am the God of Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded [‘azar – with these provisions I prepared: these treasures given] you, though you have not known me [while I spoke and worked among you]:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun [this understanding returning to His people], and from the west [to be shined upon all in due time], that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I [mold into] form [yatsar] the light [to again give the earth form], and create [bara’ – to cut down] darkness: I make [‘asah – not only speak, but do] peace, and create [bara’ – to cut down] evil: I the LORD do [‘asah] all these things.
8 Drop down [ra’aph – this latter rain as distilled waters: purified words], you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth [‘erets] open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together [to fill the void]; I the LORD have created it [bara’ – after I cut down].
9 Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it, What makest you? or your work, He has no hands?
10 Woe unto him that says unto his father, What beget you? or to the woman, What have you brought forth?
11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my [corrected] sons, and concerning the work of my hands command you me.
12 I have [again] made [‘asah] the earth, and created [bara’ – cut down] man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens [this understanding given in the firmament: this exposition], and all their host [my army I Am raising to life again] have I commanded [to hear My voice and obey My correction].
13 I have raised him up [into life] in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city [New Heavenly Jerusalem, upon the ruin of the old], and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war].
14 Thus says the LORD, The labor of Egypt [the wicked tyrants sitting in seats of power over God’s people], and merchandise of Ethiopia [those covered in darkness] and of the Sabeans [the drunkards, drunk with power and pride], men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be yours: they shall come after you; in chains [ziyqah – as sparks seen after striking the flint, and caused the fires burning up the earth] they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, saying, Surely God is in you; and there is none else, there is no God.
15 Truly you are a God that hides yourself [in flesh], O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 But Israel [My people who, by faith, receive Me and My promise] shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: you shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 For thus says the LORD that created the heavens [old and new]; God himself that formed [yatsar] the earth [‘erets] and made it [bara’ – cut it down]; he has established [kuwn] it, he created [bara’ – cut down] it not in vain [for no reason], he formed it [yatsar – gave it form again] to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret [but rather here before the eyes of all], in a dark place of [not with the words of ignorance that rule] the earth [‘erets], I said not unto the seed of Jacob [those unaware they are wrestling with Me and My word], [diligently] Seek you me in vain [for no reason, but I promised you would find Me when faith comes]: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Assemble yourselves [into My ONE BODY] and come; draw near together, you that are escaped of the nations [those who remain in darkness refusing the hear, see, and obey Me]: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image [abominations they put in My place and call by My name], and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Tell you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared [shama’ – in the flesh the first to hear and obey these provisions, at My will raising Myself as needed, as the Chief Overseer of the earth: its author and finisher] this from ancient time? who has told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me, and be you saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

Deuteronomy 13
1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spoke unto you, saying, Let us go after other gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them;
3 You shall not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proves you, to know whether you love the LORD your God [above all other gods] with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 You shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you shall serve him, and cleave [dabaq] unto him.

Deuteronomy 30
11 For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not hidden from you, neither is it far off [rachowq – it isn’t an evil decree as those now ruling this corrupt world].
12 It is not in heaven, that you shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it [shama’], and do it [‘asah]?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it [shama’], and do it [‘asah]?
14 But the word is very nigh unto you, in your mouth [to be spoken as commanded], and in your heart, that you mayest do it [‘asah].
15 See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil;
16 In that I command you this day to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that you mayest live and multiply: and the LORD your God shall bless you in the land [‘erets – earth] whither you go to possess it.
17 But if your heart turn away, so that you will not hear [shama’ – and obey: do], but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day, that you shall surely perish, and that you shall not prolong your days upon the land [‘adamah – the people I Am creating], whither you pass over [‘abar – from death into life] Jordan [overcoming the words of men that carried all humanity in its descent into death and hell] to go to possess it.
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life [choose this understanding from the mouth of God, over all other voices], that both you and your seed may live:
20 That you mayest love the LORD your God, and that you mayest obey [shama’] his voice, and that you mayest cleave [dabaq] unto him: for he is your life, and the length of your days: that you mayest dwell in the land [‘adamah – this new generation the LORD is creating] which the LORD swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

1 Samuel 16
11 And Samuel [Shama’ El – those who hear and obey God’s voice] said unto Jesse, Are here all your children? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and, behold, he keeps the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he comes hither.
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. [“for the LORD sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”]

Psalms 65
1 Praise waits for you, O God, in Zion: and unto you shall the vow be performed.
2 O you that hears prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.
4 Blessed is the man whom you choose, and cause to approach unto you, that he may dwell in your courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, even of your holy temple.
5 By terrible things in righteousness will you answer us, O God of our salvation; who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new], and of them that are afar off [rachowq – now when the world is ruled by evil decree] upon the sea [this last generation that becomes the first]:
6 Which by his strength [understanding and its power to correct] sets [kuwn] fast the mountains [the new government apart from the corrupt]; being girded [‘azar – provided] with power:
7 Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at your tokens [showing the time]: you make the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 You visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer] the earth [‘erets], and water it [with Your word]: you greatly enriched it with the river of God [sent to the sea], which is full of water: you preparest them corn, when you have so provided for it [these treasures reserved to be revealed in this time of war].
10 You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing [of new life] thereof.
11 You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

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 know? or who has stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone [I Am] thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Psalms 82
1 God stands in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness [ignorance]: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
