27 – 30 April 2024
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, “You are my Son, this day have I begotten you.”
The above, Acts 13:33, is speaking of the same “glad tidings” heard here, which is of the promises made to the fathers (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, et al.), fulfilled now, in the manner the title describes. The word there rendered “raised up” is said to be anistemi, meaning to stand up.
The word (rendered “raised up”) in the original text is anastasis, meaning “a standing up again, i.e. (literally) a resurrection from death (individual, genitive case or by implication, (its author)), or (figuratively) a (moral) recovery (of spiritual truth).” It is from this word’s meaning, that the word “again” is added, which doesn’t appear in the original text.
Even deeper, the Greek words rendered “I have begotten” are ego gennao, meaning I (Am) regenerated through procreation. The word said to be gennao, in the original text, is written as gegenneka, ge meaning soil: meaning from the earth, like from where Adam was created.
This understanding refers us to the LORD declaring His name to Moses in Exodus 3:14, saying “I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, I Am [in the flesh of Moses in that generation] has sent me unto you.”
As we know, the word rendered “I Am” is hayah, meaning “to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary).” It (hayah) is said to be the origin of the name Jehovah, said to mean “(the) self-Existent or Eternal.” The full origin of the name is in hayah, and ya’ah, the once used (in Jeremiah 10:7) word meaning “to be suitable:– [Yahh, to whom it] appertain.”
He (the LORD), again speaking to Moses, says in the following verse, “Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me unto you: this is my name forever [I Am in every generation], and this is my memorial [zeker – be remembered, by recall, the same calling, kaleo, of God, working and speaking unknown in this generation] unto all generations.”
It is from this latter verse, with this understanding, the LORD Jesus, in Matthew 22:31 & 32, referring to it, says, “But as touching the resurrection [anastasis] of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
Jeremiah 10
1 Hear [shama’ – and obey] you the word which the LORD speaks unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus says the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen [those who haven’t known Me in any generation], and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven [this full understanding seen here and now]; for the heathen [who don’t know I Am in every generation] are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cut a tree out of the forest [men they think are upright], the work of the hands of the workman [making them idols], with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not [from their corrupt position they’ve created].
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not [according to this word, because there is no light in them]: they must need be borne [carried], because they cannot go [move on their own, but must be moved out of the way by the Spirit of the LORD moving upon the darkened deep]. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
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 does it appertain [ya’ah – pertaining to I Am]: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto you [none knowing the things only You know and teach us].
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is [their idols are] a doctrine of vanities [worthless words].
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 [tsaraph – the refines of earthly value and outer appearance]: blue and purple is their clothing [covering the deception within, by which they rule]: they are all the work of cunning men [chakam – the wise men of this world, who the LORD confounds with His truth].
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 [to shake the wicked from it], and the nations [those refusing to know I Am] shall not be able to abide his indignation [za’am – which ends in these men’s destruction, which they should fear].
11 Thus shall you say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth [‘erets], even they shall perish from the [new] earth, and from under these [new] heavens.
12 He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens [this understanding spread before you] by his discretion.
13 When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens [by which His word from there comes], and he causes the vapors [the separated element of understanding] to ascend [leave the earth] from the ends of the earth [‘erets – being without understanding, ending the old and corrupt]; [and beginning the new] he [congealing the elements] makes lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures [by His Spirit moving upon the darkness He gives these gifts].
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder [tsaraph] is confounded by the graven image [the idol they’ve created]: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath [life] in them.
15 They are vanity [worthless words], and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – this time when I Am come as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel [my family, the children of My correction] is the rod [shebet – the scepter to rule this new earth] of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts [a man of war] is his name [I Am, His denity].
17 Gather up your wares [pack and move] out of the land [‘erets – the old earth], O inhabitant of the fortress [matsowr – the place of oppression, against which I Am laying siege].
18 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will sling [qala’ – a seven times used word referring us to its use in 1 Samuel 25:29; see below] out the inhabitants of the land [‘erets] at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 Woe is me for my [the carcass of My dead body] hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not [the same words Rachel cries out, in Jeremiah 31:15, speaking of Ephraim: God’s people at large in this last and first generation]: 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, and all their flocks shall be scattered [as it is].
22 Behold, the noise [qowl – the voice] of the bruit [shmuw’ah – the report heard from Jehovah, I Am in this generation of the dead who are raised to life] is come, and a great commotion [ra’ash – the voice “shaking” heaven and earth, which brings the dead bones together and causes men to discern and choose good over evil] out of the north country [revealed from the darkness of men’s ignorance], to make the cities of Judah [the current crop of corrupt leaders] desolate, and a den of dragons [tanniym – men as serpents and whales, with their wide open mouths devouring men and swallowing them into the belly of hell].
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself [but to You it appertains, to guide and direct him into a good way]: it is not in man that walks [astray into his own evil way] to direct his steps.
24 O LORD, correct me [back onto the right path], 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 [You manifested identity: I Am]: for they have eaten up Jacob [and swallowed him into the belly of hell], and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation [this old and totally corrupt earth] desolate.
Matthew 12
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.
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 {anastasis}, 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 {exanastasis – only used this once, meaning through rising again from} 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.
1 Corinthians 15
12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection [anastasis] of the dead [again here on the earth]?
Job 19
25 For I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand [quwm – rise in the resurrection] at the latter day [‘acharown] upon the earth [‘aphar – the dust, the ground from where man is generated again]:
26 And though after [‘achar] my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my [new] flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed [kalah] within me.
28 But you should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root [sheresh – the deep meaning] of the matter [dabar – of His word] is found [matsa’] in me [to whom it appertains]? [Isaiah 65:1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I Am found {matsa’} of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.]
29 Be you afraid of the sword [this word of God you despisers of His good refuse]: for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.
1 Corinthians 15
13 But if there be no resurrection [anastasis] of the dead [in the flesh], then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection [anastasis] of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming [parousia].
24 Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all [corrupt] rule and all [corrupt] authority and [corrupt] power.
25 For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead [into Christ’s death, from where we are resurrected]?
42 So also is the resurrection [anastasis] of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural [flesh] body, and there is a spiritual [flesh] body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [the first fruit of the new creation] was made a quickening spirit [I Am, with His rising from the dead in me, He will bring many to life].
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man [natural Adam] is of the earth, earthy; the second man [Spiritual Adam] is the LORD from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image [eikon – likeness that marks us as possessed by Him] of the earthy, we shall also bear the image [eikon] of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that [those bearing the mark of the beast, without the LORD’s Spirit] flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption [that marks the flesh as without the LORD’s Spirit possessing it] inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep [as dead flesh], but we shall all be changed [allasso by His understanding as it unfolds, removing all corruption],
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye [enlightening the mind so we see Him as He is, with us, in us], at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound [the voice of His messenger, I Am, His archangel, shouting, calling, kaleo, all to join in His ONE LIVING BODY] and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [into His ONE BODY, in the air cleared of corruption, cleared of the smoke that came from the bottomless pit, into heaven, full understanding with Him, purity by which we see God].
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [flesh] must put on [spiritual] immortality [which is the anastasis].
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
Friends, the twenty three times used word eikon (“image”), meaning “a likeness, i.e. (literally) statue, profile, or (figuratively) representation, resemblance,” is used ten times by John in Revelation, all describing the “image” of the beast that all the world worships. The beast there is Babylon, confusion, which (with endless opinions replacing truth and understanding) corrupts all language (truthful discourse) and brings the world into its current state of insanity.
This state of insanity is what those who think they are enlightened refuse to admit affects them. Thinking they know everything, rejecting this word of God, they fail to realize they are also those sitting in God’s place holding His people down with opinions presented as truth and are potentially more dangerous than those more openly showing the mark (of confusion).
John only uses the word (eikon) in the abovementioned appearances in Revelation. The three other Gospels each use it once, all in the LORD’s telling of the “image” of Caesar (the powers that sever the world from God), which shows possession of the thing bearing it (the mark, the graven image).
Paul, in his other uses of the word eikon, tells us precisely its meaning.
Romans 1
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes [it is Him speaking and working to save them from themselves, from their own darkened minds]; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith [the one speaking who first believes it is Him] to faith [of the hearers who then believe it is His]: as it is written, The just shall live by faith [believing He is come to save them].
18 For the wrath of God is revealed [in the same word] from heaven [from where come this full understanding] against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness [saying this truth is corruption and their corruption opinions are truth];
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them [in their glory, the confused and now insane world their words have produced]; for God has showed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world [hidden here for this moment, behind the veil, these same men’s ignorance, in the flesh of God’s chosen, His eklektos] are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made [by assembling, rightly ordering, the elements of understanding that were separated until now], even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations [dialogismos – their dialog, their corrupt communication], and [forever debating] their foolish heart was darkened [became ignorant].
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory [the manifested presence] of the uncorruptible God into an image [eikon] made [they created] like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own [flesh] bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed [allasso – the change that needs to be changed] the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature [the creations of God] more than the Creator, who is blessed [with these treasures given to be given] forever. Amen.
Romans 8
26 Likewise [with these blessings] the Spirit also helps our infirmities [the maladies that make us weak]: for we [in the weakness of our ignorance] know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession [sunantilambanomai – only used twice, meaning He takes hold of us to oppose what has taken hold of us] for us with groanings [stenagmos – only used twice, meaning standing close because of our ignorance] which cannot be uttered [cannot be spoken – because all have become ignorant of them – the only other time the word stenagmos appears in Acts 7:34, where we are told it is what {our ignorance} the LORD heard from His people held in Egypt, {“and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you into Egypt {now against the image of the beast, against Babylon}. This Moses {now I Am, me, Timothy} whom they refused, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.”].
27 And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints [knowing they are also in need of this change] according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called [kletos] according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow [know before, the faithful throughout history], he also did predestinate [proorizo – to limit in advance, at this horizon] to be conformed to the image [eikon] of his Son, that he might be [as the first light on the horizon] the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate [proorizo], them he also called [kaleo]: and whom he called [kaleo], them he also justified [dikaioo – freed from corruption]: and whom he justified [freed from corruption], them he also glorified [manifesting His presence in them].
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect [eklektos – His chosen]? It is God that justifies [frees us from corruption and thereby death].
34 Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
2 Corinthians 3
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished [the ignorance of the LORD among us in Moses’ flesh]:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament [not knowing it was written by those in whom the LORD chose to dwell, working and speaking through them]; which vail is done away in Christ [who declares it is the LORD, Jehovah, the Father in him doing the work, as now, here speaking and working in my, our, flesh].
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail [of ignorance, thinking it’s the work of men] is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn [away from the corrupt teaching of men] to the LORD, the vail [of ignorance] shall be taken away.
17 Now the LORD is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty [freedom from corruption].
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the LORD [in us], are changed [metamorphoo – the transfiguration of Christ, as in Matthew 17:2 and Mark 9:2] into the same image [eikon] from glory [His presence revealed in one flesh in which He works and speaks] to glory [in those receiving Him, who are transformed into the same image], even as by the Spirit of the LORD.
The only other time metamorphoo appears is in Romans 12:2.
Romans 12
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God [heard here at His mercy seat where His presence is manifested in this conversation], that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service [serving as I Am serving].
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed [metamorphoo] 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, 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.
2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced 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 [eikon] of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light [understanding] of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face [presence] of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure [the gift of this understanding He has given to us] in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may [be known] be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the LORD Jesus, that the life [which is His light] also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life [light] also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death works in us [as we sacrifice, long-suffer, in His service], but life [understanding] in you.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed [it is His presence in my flesh], and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore [should] speak [which reveals Him alive in us];
14 Knowing that he which raised up the LORD Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace [this gift] might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel [shmuw’el – who heard God] died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah [In Jeremiah 31:15, this is where Rachel is heard lament her children, because they were not {no longer hearing the LORD}]. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran [where all things are clearly seen].
2 And there was a man in Maon [inhabiting the wilderness], whose possessions were in Carmel [the {promised} garden land]; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel [God’s people who this man possesses in this promised land].
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal [from nabal – meaning “stupid; wicked (especially impious)”]; and the name of his wife Abigail [from abi {meaning the forefathers; and giyl, meaning “a revolution (of time, i.e. an age); also joy,” speaking of God’s people He frees from the stupid and wicked that now possess and shear them, who joy in knowing His presence with them, in them as One in this His new creation of heaven and earth]: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish [dense – having an impenetrable mind] and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb [Judah, the current crop of corrupt leaders, as “dogs” ignorantly barking in the darkness].
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
5 And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
6 And thus shall you say to him that lives in prosperity [ignorant of his condition], Peace be both to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be unto all that you have.
7 And now I have heard that you have shearers: now your shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel [in this promised land among us].
8 Ask your young men, and they will show you. Wherefore let the young men find favor in your eyes: for we come in a good day [with these good tidings]: give, I pray you, whatsoever comes to your hand unto your servants, and to your son David [I Am, the beloved].
9 And when David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words [this word of God given as received] in the name of David [I Am], and ceased. [Speaking as the David spoke, in his last {‘acharown} words, speaking of these word in these last days, saying, in 2 Samuel 23:2, “The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and His word was {is} in my tongue.]
10 And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse [still existing – as the perpetual son]? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master [‘adown – king, of the confusion that now possesses and rules the world].
11 Shall I [being dense and unreasonable, not recognizing the LORD’s presence in His word spoken by His chosen] then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men [who are all babblers as I ignorantly believe David is], whom I know not whence they be?
12 So David’s young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
13 And David said unto his men, Gird you on every man his sword [this word of God which they refuse]. And they girded [prepared] on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.
14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers [mal’ak – the angels of the LORD’s presence] out of the wilderness to salute our master [‘adown – king]; and he railed [‘iyt – only used elsewhere in 1 Samuel 15:19, when Saul refused to do as the LORD commanded, and instead “did fly” upon the spoil of the enemy] on them.
15 But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
16 They were a wall [of protection] unto us both by night and day [giving their light into our darkness], all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
17 Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master [‘adown – king], and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial [the false god of this world, idols men created and put in God’s place], that a man cannot speak to him.
18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
19 And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
20 And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert [cether – secretly] on the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.
21 Now David had said, Surely in vain [with no effect on the wicked and unreasonable] have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he has requited me evil for good.
22 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light [this understanding sent and warning given] any that pisses [shathan – to make water, speak] against the wall [the protection the LORD gave while correcting the reasonable].
23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my LORD [‘adown – king], upon me let this iniquity be: and let your handmaid, I pray you, speak in your audience, and hear the words of your handmaid.
25 Let not my LORD [‘adown – king] I pray you, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name [his identity], and folly [nbalah – meaning “foolishness, i.e. (morally) wickedness; concretely, a crime.”] is with him: but I your handmaid saw not the young men of my LORD [‘adown – king], whom you did send.
26 Now therefore, my LORD [‘adown – king], as the LORD [Jehovah] lives, and as your soul lives seeing the LORD [Jehovah] has withheld you from coming to shed blood, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now let your enemies, and they that seek evil to my LORD [‘adown – king], be as Nabal.
27 And now this blessing which your handmaid has brought unto my LORD [‘adown – king], let it even be given unto the young men that follow my LORD [‘adown – king].
28 I pray you, forgive the trespass of your handmaid: for the LORD [Jehovah] will certainly make my LORD [‘adown – king] a sure house; because my LORD [‘adown – king] fights the battles of the LORD [Jehovah], and evil has not been found in you all your days.
29 Yet a man is risen to pursue you, and to seek your soul: but the soul of my LORD [‘adown – king] shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD [Jehovah] your God; and the souls of your enemies, them shall he sling out [qala’], as out of the middle of a sling [qela’].
30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD [Jehovah] shall have done to my LORD [‘adown – king] according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you ruler over Israel [His family He raises to now rule the earth];
31 That this shall be [hayah – I Am] no grief unto you, nor offense of heart unto my LORD [‘adown – king], either that you have shed blood causeless, or that my LORD [‘adown – king] has avenged himself: but when the LORD [Jehovah] shall have dealt well with my LORD [‘adown – king], then remember your handmaid.
32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD [Jehovah] God of Israel, which sent you this day to meet me:
33 And blessed be your advice [ta’am – the understanding and judgment we have tasted and it is good], and blessed be you, which have kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with my own hand.
34 For in very deed, as the LORD [Jehovah] God of Israel lives, which has kept me back from hurting you, except you had hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light [this understanding now heard in her] any that pisseth [shathan – that make water, speaks] against the wall [this protect the LORD offers].
35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to your house; see, I have hearkened to your voice, and have accepted your person.
36 And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
37 But it came to pass in the morning [when this understanding comes as the light of a new day], when the wine was gone out of Nabal [and His wicked mind understood the LORD’s presence and mercy were manifested toward him in the conversation with His messengers], and his wife had told him these things, that his heart [mind] died within him, and he became as a stone [had a stroke].
38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD [Jehovah], that has pleaded [riyb – defended] the cause [riyb – those wrestling with this word] of my reproach [cherpah – trying to disgrace me] from the hand of Nabal, and has kept his servant from evil: for the LORD has returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
40 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke unto her, saying, David sent us unto you, to take you to him to wife.
41 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let your handmaid be a servant to wash the feet [removing all the corruption they picked up during their journey through time] of the servants of my LORD [‘adown – king].
42 And Abigail hasted, and arose and rode upon an ass, with five damsels [the five wise virgins whose lamp are filled] of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers [mal’ak – the angels of the LORD] of David, and became his wife.
43 David also took Ahinoam [brethren who please the LORD] of Jezreel [whom He sowed into the new earth]; and they were also both of them his wives [joined with me into the ONE BODY of Christ, as ONE Flesh in which the LORD dwells].
44 But Saul [who the people desired to their king] had given Michal [who were once the likeness of God] his daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti [delivered them to] the son of Laish [the mouths of lions], which was of Gallim [to whom these living springs of water have come].
The only other time the name Gallim appears is in Isaiah 10:30.
Isaiah 10
15 Shall the axe [the communists I sent to hew down the falsely so-called “upright” trees in power] boast itself against him [the LORD] that hews therewith? or shall the saw [who cuts these men into pieces I can use to rebuild] magnify itself against him that shakes it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no [dead] wood [to be used by me for My purposes].
16 Therefore shall the LORD, the LORD of hosts [a man of war], send among his fat ones [who before prospered under His rule] leanness; and under his glory [manifesting His presence] he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 And the light [understanding] of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns [misleaders] and his briers [deceivers] in one day [when this understanding covers the earth];
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer [showing the way] faints [macac – melts away as described in Zechariah 14:12 and 2 Peter 3:10 & 12 when the stoicheion, the corrupt “elements,” melt away in the fires these men’s words and ways have caused.].
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the [elect] remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped [pleytah] of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay [sha’an – rely] upon him that smote [nakah – who with lies and misleading made them blind and dumb] them; but shall stay [sha’an – rely] upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption [killayown – only used one other time: Deuteronomy 28:65, where it’s rendered “failing” of eyes; as in what these men say they’ve seen, as in Zachariah 14:12 – see the post of 12 November 2023] decreed [charats – this the end of the war desolation, when the full body of this anointing is poured out {Daniel 9:26 & 27}, when the LORD indignation is accomplished {Daniel 11:36}, the consumption upon the whole earth {Isaiah 28:22}, and in Job 14:5 saying “Seeing his {man’s} days are determined {charats}, the number of his months are with you {LORD}, you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;”] shall overflow with righteousness.
23 For the LORD God of hosts shall make a consumption [kalah], even determined [charats], in the midst of all the land.
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, O my people that dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian [the communists in power]: he shall smite [nakah] you with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt [oppressors who held you in hard bondage].
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation [za’am] shall cease [kalah], and my anger in their destruction.
26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb [those whose power is to cover the world in darkness, causing endless strife among God’s people]: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt [these words shall cover, giving understanding to all, and overthrow the wicked in power].
27 And it shall come to pass in that day [when this light of the LORD has come], that his [the wicked’s] burden [the ignorance and mass confusion they’ve caused] shall be taken away from off your shoulder, and his yoke [joining you with them by consent] from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of [paniym – manifesting the LORD’s presence by] the anointing [of the king].
28 He is come to Aiath [Ai – the heap of ruin], he is passed to Migron [the precipice]; at Michmash [where they have hidden] he has laid up his carriages:
29 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba [in their high place]; Ramah [and the high place] is afraid; Gibeah [where the consequences come – as in Judges 19] of Saul is fled.
30 Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim [who they’ve divided and scattered, to whom these waters now come]: cause it to be heard unto Laish [the lion – their strength, as Ariel, where judgment is perverted], O poor Anathoth [your prayers have been answered].
31 Madmenah [the dung hill, the burning trash heap, their hell] is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim [the keepers of the idols, their corrupt words] gather themselves to flee.
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob [his fruit and his high places] that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the LORD [‘adown – the King of God’s people], the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts [who is manifested in His man of war], shall lop [cut off] the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon [their false standard of purity in high places] shall fall by a mighty one.
Jeremiah 51
41 How is Sheshach [Babylon; against which the trumpet sounds calling all God’s people against her confusion] taken [in their own ignorance of the time of their visitation]![?] and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised![?] how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations [those who haven’t known the forever present LORD]![?]
42 [the answer is] The sea [God’s people: humanity awakened to this time] is come up [risen] upon Babylon [against the confusion that now rules the world]: she is covered with the multitude of the waves [of those rising] thereof.
43 Her cities are a desolation [as they are], a dry land [without this word of God in her misleaders and deceivers], and a wilderness [without life], a land [‘erets – the earth] wherein no man dwells [yashab – remains], neither does any son of man pass [‘abar] thereby [none among her Passover from death into life].
44 And I will punish [paqad – visit as the Chief Overseer of the earth] Bel [their kings as idols, wicked, men who think themselves gods] in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth [those they possessed by the words] that which he has swallowed up [into the belly of hell]: and the nations [the sea of those who haven’t known My presence] shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall [of protection, the lies and deception with which they control those they made ignorant] of Babylon shall fall.
45 My people, go you out of the midst of her, and deliver you every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
46 And lest your heart [minds] faint, and you fear for the rumor [shmuw’ah – {shama’ Yahh} this voice of Jehovah, His report, obeyed by those hearing Him, knowing it is His presence with us in us] that shall be heard [shama’ – and obeyed] in the land [‘erets – the earth]; a rumor [shmuw’ah – His long-suffering voice, heard and obeyed by One, His first begotten, I Am] shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumor [shmuw’ah – His voice heard by the elect and obeyed], and [against the] violence [chamac – ill-gotten gain and injustice perpetrated by the wicked in power] in the land [‘ erets – in the earth], ruler [mashal] against ruler [mashal].
47 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment [paqad – visit as the Chief Overseer of the earth] upon the graven images [these rulers as idols they worship and follow] of Babylon: and her whole land [‘erets – her old and now totally corrupt earth] shall be confounded [be disappointed and shamed when the end they sought isn’t reached], and all her slain [by follow her confusion now turned mass insanity] shall fall in the midst of her.
48 Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for [repeating these words with me, as received from the voice of the LORD’s presence with us, in us, against the confusion wrought by] Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north [out of darkness, out of confusion they departed, into the light], says the LORD.
49 As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth [‘erets].
50 You that have [by receiving this word as His] escaped [paliyt] the sword, go away, stand not still: remember [zakar] the LORD afar off [rachowq – this time when the earth is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men who think themselves gods], and let [New Heavenly] Jerusalem come into your mind [into which My ways of sustainable peace have flowed].
51 We [God’s people to whom the LORD has come unknown as a thief in the night] are confounded, because we have heard [shama’ – obeyed] reproach [cherpah – men who’ve tried to disgrace me]: shame has covered our faces: for strangers [those who haven’t know the LORD or His way] are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’s house.
52 Wherefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will do judgment [paqad – come as I have, unknown as the Paraclete, the Chief Overseer of the earth] upon her [the men in My house who’ve warred against me] graven images [the idols they worship]: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, says the LORD.
54 A sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and great destruction from the land [‘erets – the earth] of the Chaldeans:
55 Because the LORD has spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice [of the deceivers and misleaders of the earth]; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows [with which they fire the lies and false accusation] is broken: for the LORD God of recompense shall surely requite.
57 And I will make drunk [make their minds not to work as designed, by their own ignorance and insanity] her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war].
58 Thus says the LORD of hosts; The broad walls [of lies and deception, which they think is their protection] of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labor in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary [and sleep in hell, forever held there by their own incorrigible minds].
59 The word which Jeremiah [Jehovah rising] the prophet commanded Seraiah [Yahh has prevailed] the son of Neriah [by the light of Yahh], the son of Maaseiah [and he is the refuge Yahh has given us], when he went with Zedekiah [the righteousness of Yahh] the king of Judah [ruling through those who rule with Him as He dwells in us] into Babylon [here among the wicked who remain asleep in the hell they’ve created and choose] the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah [through whom Yahh prevailed] was [is] a quiet [mnuchah – peaceful, what rest? the rest we have waited for] prince [I Am, in Shiloh].
Isaiah 37
22 This is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him [the communists]; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, has despised you, and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
23 Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? and against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
24 By your servants have you reproached the LORD, and have said, “By the multitude of my chariots [that carry the words and ways of confusion into the battle] am I come up to the height of the mountains [power over all the world], to the sides of Lebanon [where purity was once seen on high]; and I will cut down the tall cedars [the upright men] thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I [as a serpent] will enter into the height of his border [qets – their foretold end], and the forest of his Carmel [the LORD’s garden of Eden].
25 I have digged, and drunk water [understanding dark sayings]; and with the sole of my feet [traveling among them] have I dried up [censored] all the rivers of the besieged places.”
26 Have you not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that you shouldest be to lay waste defensed cities into ruinous heaps.
27 Therefore, their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
28 But I [the LORD] know your abode, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against me.
29 Because your rage against me, and your tumult, is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
30 And this shall be a sign unto you, You shall eat this year [of the shmuw’ah] such as grows of itself [the result of the confusion you have sown]; and the second year [of the shmuw’ah] that which springs of the same: and in the third year sow you, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof [which is now ripe, seen to be what it is, and now readied for My harvest].
31 And the remnant that is escaped [pleytah] of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32 For out of [New Heavenly] Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape [pleytah] out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
33 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria [the communists now in power], He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, says the LORD.
35 For I will defend this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
36 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote [nakah] in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning [when this light has come], behold [I saw], they were all dead corpses [animated flesh awakened to everlasting contempt].
Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain [worthless] thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands [of obedience] asunder, and cast away their cords [The LORD’s commandments] from us.
4 He that sits [enthroned] in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision [as they are this day, trapped in their own evil].
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath [as He does here and now], and vex them in his sore displeasure [in their misleading].
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me [me Timothy D’Annunzio], You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen [the world ignorant of My presence] for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron [the law of nature and nature’s God, under which government men are entitled to live]; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel [destroying the old fully corrupt institutions men have defiled and starting it over again New, removing all the corruption].
10 Be wise now, therefore, O you kings: be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice [giyl] with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Friends, again, I understand the difficulty of believing something of this magnitude is occurring. I (again) tell you the truth, it is – and no power can stop Him. When faith comes that this day of enlightenment is upon us and the faithful witness to His presence giving us understanding, the earth will suddenly, in an instant, be changed.
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: we found it in the fields of the wood.
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.
