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

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.
