Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.
As we know, the name “Jew” (Yduwdiy), above in Esther 5:13, as today, refers specifically to a person of the tribe of Judah or a resident of the southern kingdom bearing the same name. It isn’t speaking of Israel, the northern kingdom, that wasn’t in Babylon but was carried away beyond Babylon, over the Caucus Mountains (long before Judah’s carrying away into Babylon) and became the Saxons (Isaac’s Sons). But I digress.
The title verse, as we see manifesting itself today, speaks of the enmity, the irrational and unreasonable hatred for Judah (as it is for Israel: the straight white, caucasian – Caucus Asians, Christians). It (the title verse) is Haman speaking, representing those having an abundance of wealth and power, but these things “avail” them no solace, and they, therefore, look for it (peace and rest of mind) in the destruction of those they (ignorantly) hate without cause (because they are at rest in peace).
The word rendered “avails” is shavah, meaning “properly, to level, i.e. equalize; figuratively, to resemble; by implication, to adjust (i.e. counterbalance, be suitable, compose, place, yield, etc.).”
It (shavah) bears an unstated affinity to the two words that transliterate as ‘avah. The first (#183) means “to wish for:–covet, (greatly) desire, be desirous, long, lust (after);” and the other (#5753) means “to crook, literally or figuratively (as follows):–do amiss, bow down, make crooked, commit iniquity, pervert, (do) perverse(-ly), trouble, X turn, do wickedly, do wrong.”
These words speak of peace and rest, which all unknowingly seek, which is found in only one place, in One Person. If sought in any other person or thing (idols men worship), other than the One to whom it appertains, it develops into (being carried away by) perverse thoughts, a corrupt conscience, and evil acts.
Romans 1
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet [an appropriate result].
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
The above describes all Israel, all nations Christian and Jew, all but the very small elect (eklektos – eclectics, which, outside all the existing orders, received this word as His word and presence), fallen away into unbelief.
Romans 11
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election [ekloge – chosen through this word] of grace [charis, Divine charity, this word He has freely given us, leading us into peace and rest, away from our dead works].
6 And if by grace [this word freely given to us by the LORD], then is it no more of [men’s] works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of [men’s] works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more [the LORD’s] work.
7 What then? Israel has not obtained that which he seeks for [peace and rest in the LORD]; but the election has obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written [in Isaiah 29:10], “God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.”
9 And David says [in Psalms 69:23], “Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.”
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles [those who haven’t known Him and weren’t seeking Him], for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of [these treasures sent to] the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of [these treasures sent to] the Gentiles; how much more their fulness [when they receive the same treasures and are thereby awakened from their sleep]?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the first-fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them partake of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if you boast, you bear not the root, but the root you.
19 You will say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief [not believing the LORD was among them in the flesh speaking and working] they were broken off, and you stand by faith [that He is]. Be not high-minded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not you.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise, you also shall be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written [in Isaiah 59:20, “There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.”
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election [ekloge – those chosen through this word], they are beloved for the father’s sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as you in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy [the Father’s correction] they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God has concluded them all in unbelief [all their vain religious orders], that he might have mercy [send His correction] upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who has known the mind of the LORD? or who has been his counselor?
35 Or who has first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things [do all things appertain]: to whom be glory forever. Amen.
Isaiah 29
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; 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, and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers has he covered.
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed:
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 [minds] far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the [corrupt] precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [eye opening] work among this people, even a marvelous [‘eye opening] work and a wonder [an experience they have not understood]: for [because] the wisdom of their [self-described, falsely so called] wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their [self-describe, falsely so-called] prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep [into their own corrupt understanding] to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark [works of ignorance], and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down [calling His good evil and your evil good] shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay [formed as I choose to form it]: for shall the work [of the LORD] say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed [by the LORD] say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
Psalms 68
1 Sing unto God, you kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the LORD; Selah:
33 To him that rides upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe you strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds [from where this understanding comes].
35 O God, you are terrible out of your holy places: the God of Israel is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
To the Chief Musician upon Shoshannim [the blowing of trumpets, calling all to gather into His ONE BODY] A Psalms [song] of David
Psalms 69
1 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
2 I sink in deep mire [men have stirred and clouded all clarity], [the corrupt understanding] where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods [of wicked men] overflow me [and keep me in the belly of the earth, here in hell among the dead].
3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: my eyes [the eyes of the dead body of Christ] fail [kalah – all sight has ended] while I wait for my God.
4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that [understanding] which I took not away.
5 O God, you know my foolishness [of my dead flesh]; and my sins are not hid from you.
6 Let not them that wait on you, O LORD God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek you be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
7 Because for your sake I have borne reproach [cherpah – of those trying to disgrace me]; shame has covered my face [paniym – Your presence in me].
8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
9 For the zeal of your house [my actions, which men think are foolishness] has eaten me up [and holds me in the belly of hell among the dead who refuse to rise]; and the reproaches [cherpah- those trying to disgrace me] of them that reproached You [charaph – trying to remove Your presence from me] are fallen upon me.
10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting [refused their words and was corrected by You], that was to my reproach [cherpah].
11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
12 They that sit in the gate [of hell] speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards [repeating their corrupt words and ignorant understanding].
13 But as for me, my prayer [conversation] is unto you, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation.
14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters [of the ignorant].
15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Hear me, O LORD; for your lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of your tender mercies.
17 And hide not your face [paniym – Your presence] from your servant; for I am in trouble [tsar – by these enemies]: hear me speedily.
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.
19 You have known my reproach [cherpah – how these evil men seek to dis-grace me], and my shame, and my dishonor: my adversaries [tsarar – who are the troubles] are all before you.
20 Reproach [cherpah – those trying to disgrace me] has broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters [nacham], but I found none.
21 They gave me also gall for my meat [continuing in their corruption saying it was Your strength]; and in my thirst [when the dead body was without Your word] they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened [as they are], that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour out your indignation [za’am] upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom you have smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom you have wounded.
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into your righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29 But I am poor [without worldly power] and sorrowful: let your salvation [yshuw’ah – Jehovah’s Salvation in my flesh, Jesus manifested in me], O God, set me up on high [sagab – be exalted above all others].
30 I will praise the name [identity] of God with a song [repeating the words He gave me to give], and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that has horns and hoofs.
32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despises not his prisoners.
34 Let the [new] heaven and earth praise him, the seas [all humanity, into which this understanding flows], and every thing that moves therein.
35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name [identity] shall dwell therein.
The word shavah also has an unstated affinity to the word hava’ (havah), meaning “a primitive root (compare 183 [‘avah], 1961 [hayah]) supposed to mean properly, to breathe; to be (in the sense of existence):–be, X have.”
In the title verse, it (shavah) comes in one of five acrostics in Esther, four spelling “Jehovah” and the other “I Am.” As we’ve often discussed, the LORD’s name is never mentioned in Esther. He does appear there in secret as Ahasuerus, a title meaning “I will be silent and poor,” speaking of the LORD among us unknown, disguised in the flesh, not displaying His Divine power openly, and His name (identity) unspoken.
These acrostics appear at pivotal events: the forth, (I Am) appearing (in Esther 7:5) when the enemy among us (in the LORD’s government) plotting to destroy all His people (the remnant of Judah) is exposed, and the last (in Esther 7:7) when he (Haman) realized “THAT THERE WAS EVIL DETERMINED AGAINST HIM.”
Esther 7
3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy [tsar] could not countervail [shavah – the last of three times it appears in Esther, meaning Haman, to satisfy his evil desire, couldn’t change the LORD’s good decree] the king’s damage [LORD’s change, over riding the evil decrees of our time, by which men rule those they hate into destruction].
5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, WHO IS HE, AND WHERE IS HE, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw THAT THERE WAS EVIL DETERMINED [kalah – the end, in Daniel 12:7, “accomplished” and “finished” at the appointed time: the mow’ed] AGAINST HIM, by the king.
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine [here and now]; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was [as in the pattern of Reuben, the son of perdition, those in God’s house, putting themselves in His place]. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
9 And Harbonah [Har banah; mountain builder; raised by the LORD’s understanding {biyn}, to build His new government by purging out the evil and their corruption] one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who spoken good for the king, stand in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.
Esther 8
1 On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.
2 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
3 And Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away [’abar – cause us to Passover here and now from death into life, by ending] the mischief [ra’ – evil] of Haman the Agagite [as we know, this is the origin of the name Gog, representing all the enemies of God and His people throughout history, gathered here and now, along with the faithful, in the final battle of the long war between light and darkness], and his device [machashabah – the things they contrived for our destruction] that he had devised [chashab] against the Jews.
4 Then the king held out the golden scepter [the consent to rule] toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
5 And said, If it please the king, and if I have favor in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters [reversing the evil decrees of wicked men in power] devised [machashabah] by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite [the LORD will overturn all the enemies He has gathered here] which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king’s provinces:
6 For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
7 Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
8 Write you also for the Jews, as it like you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and [as the LORD’s identity] sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.
9 Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan [of the LORD’s covering His people in His protection], on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India [fled away from] unto Ethiopia [those covered in darkness], an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
10 And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus’ name [identity], and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
11 Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
12 Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
13 The copy of the writing [today it is this writing] for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews [God’s elect here in Babylon, this time when the earth is ruled by the confusion, insanity, and the evil decrees of wicked men in power] should be ready [‘athiyd] against that day to avenge [naqam] themselves on their enemies.
14 So the posts [with this word] that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. And the [good] decree [against the evil decrees of men] was given at Shushan [from where this trumpet, the LORD’s voice, is heard calling all to gather to] the palace.
15 And Mordecai [a little man – with no worldly power] went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan [from where this trumpet is heard] rejoiced and was glad.
16 The Jews had light [understanding from heaven], and gladness, and joy [realizing to LORD’s presence with us, in us], and honor.
17 And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
The word ‘athiyd, rendered “ready” in verse 13 above, only appears four other times, all speaking of when the days of wicked rule end, and God’s people are freed from their power (to deceive).
Deuteronomy 32 [The song of Moses]
31 For their rock [from where flows their deceptions, in which they trust] is not as our Rock [who is the LORD among us speaking and working, God in whom we trust], even our enemies themselves being [evil] judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons [tanniyn – men like serpents and whales, devouring with their wide open mouth those they swallow whole into the belly of their hell], and the cruel venom of asps [the poisonous words of serpents slithering among us].
34 Is not this laid up in store with me [reserved for this time of war], and sealed up [unknown] among my treasures?
35 To me belongs vengeance [naqam] and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come [‘athiyd – the things made ready for this moment] upon them make haste.
36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself [revealing His presence from His secret place, where His name is not heard] for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left [with understanding].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices [pretending to be gods], and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up [I Am] my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment; I will render vengeance [naqam] to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword [this word they refuse] shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges [par’ah – meaning new leadership] upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O you nations, with his people: for he will avenge [naqam] the blood of his servants, and will render [shuwb – return their own ways] vengeance [naqam] to his adversaries [tsar], and will be merciful unto his land [‘adamah – this first generation of His new creation], and to his people.
The word par’ah (new leadership) only appears one other time, in Judges 5:2.
Judges 5
2 Praise you the LORD for the avenging [par’ah – raises up new leadership] of Israel [in One king over all God’s people who receive Him and obey His good leading through His king who leads], when the people willingly offered themselves [obey His good leading and join Him in His necessary sacrifice; as patterned, in Judges 11 below, in Jephthah and his only daughter]. [Another rendering of this verse is: “When leaders lead in Israel, When the people willingly offer themselves, Bless the LORD!”]
3 Hear [shama’ – and obey], O you kings; give ear, O you princes; I, even I, will sing [shiyr – as minstrels, singing on and of His right way] unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
4 LORD, when you went out of Seir [the devils in power among us, misleading us into hell], when you marched out of the field of Edom [the enemies mix among us, saying they are at peace with us, as they war against us, our culture, our nation], the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water [sending Your understanding upon all].
5 The mountains [the governments of the earth] melted from before [paniym – at the presence of] the LORD, even that Sinai [governments overgrown with thorns, misleaders sitting in seat of power, fleeing away] from before [paniym – from the presence of] the LORD God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar [the sword] the son of Anath [of the LORD’s answer], in the days of Jael [misleaders in governments going their own way], the highways [of the LORD] were unoccupied [no man therein walks], and the travelers walked through byways [on the worn paths of the degenerates before them].
7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah [ordered discourse] arose, that I arose a mother [teaching the highways, bringing up children] in Israel.
8 They [instead] chose new gods [the ways of the degenerates, men who led them in the fall]; then was war in the gates: was there a shield [magen] or spear [a defense and offense] seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 My heart [mind] is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless you the LORD.
10 Speak [siyach – converse, utter these words the LORD gives us for offense and defense against the corrupters of the high way], you that ride on white asses [carried by purity], you that sit in judgment, and walk by the [LORD’s right] way, [shiyr – sing these words as you travel on this right way].
11 They that are delivered from the noise [qowl – voices] of archers [firing lies and false accusations] in the places of drawing water [where men go for their information and understanding], there shall they [the LORD’s army] rehearse [tanah – tell again: these words] the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates [of heaven and hell, where the war now rages].
The only other time the word tanah appears, in Judges 11:40, it’s tell of the people speaking of the one (the LORD manifested in the flesh) who opens the gates and defeats the enemies who’ve scattered (the tribes, as Ammon) God’s people.
Judges 11
1 Now Jephthah [the one who opens] the Gileadite [this mountain of testimony] was a mighty man of valor [the LORD, a man of war], and he was the son of a harlot [born in the unfaithful church]: and Gilead [this mountain of testimony] begat [brought to life] Jephthah [the One who opens the gates, out of hell into the kingdom of heaven].
2 And Gilead’s wife bare him [other] sons; and his wife’s sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, You shall not inherit in our father’s house; for you are the son of a strange woman [not teaching the same corrupt doctrine as those who remain in the corrupt house].
3 Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land [‘erets – the earth] of Tob [good]: and there were gathered vain [with worthless understanding] men to Jephthah [the one who opens], and went out [out of worthlessness into good] with him.
4 And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon [tribal – those who scatter God’s people into weakness] made war against Israel.
5 And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
6 And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
7 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not you hate me, and expel me out of my father’s house? and why are you come unto me now when you are in distress [tsar – the evil of enemies]?
8 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to you now, that you mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead [over this mountain of the testimony, rightly dividing as none other is able {because the LORD is with me}].
9 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If you bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
10 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to your words.
11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah [the one who opens] uttered [dabar – rightly orders these word; the origin of the name Deborah] all his words before [paniym – manifesting the presence of] the LORD in Mizpeh [watchtower, from where things are seen far off {in this time}].
12 And Jephthah sent messengers [mal’ak – angels carrying this same message as received from the LORD] unto the king of the children of Ammon [this would indicate the communist pope now sitting enthroned in God’s place, one of many who’ve scattered God’s people into ignorance and evil, as Satan’s minions opposing and resisting the LORD at His appearing and kingdom come on the earth as it is in heaven], saying, What have you to do with me, that you are come against me to fight in my land?
13 And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land [‘erets – the earth], when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon [brawling waters, word meant to cause constant agitation] even unto Jabbok [pouring forth], and unto Jordan [carrying all in their descent into death: the dead sea]: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
14 And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:
15 And said unto him, Thus says Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab [men’s mouths as the gates of hell], nor the land of the children of Ammon [those scattering God people]:
16 But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea [the reed sea, where the banks are known by the reed that grow there, from which papyrus was made, upon which this word is written], and came to Kadesh [holiness];
17 Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom [the current administration, Barak, the false light, and his idiot son Brandon, confederate with the globalists and foreign communists, leading the enemies mixed among us, saying they’re our friends and neighbors, as they war against us, our culture, and our nation as Constituted], saying, Let me, I pray you, pass [‘abar – passover these waters of death into life] through your land [‘erets – in the earth]: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab [these are the loudest voices of church and state, misleading the world with their opinions, delusions they present as truth]: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh [separated into holiness, with the LORD as ONE BODY].
18 Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border [gbuwl] of Moab: for Arnon [these brawling waters] was the border [gbuwl – are the limit] of Moab [of the gates of hell].
19 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon [warrior] king of the Amorites [the sayers, those exalting their words above this word of God], the king of Heshbon [the stronghold of the ignorant, exalting the words of men above God’s]; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass [‘abar – passover your words of death into life], we pray you, through your land [‘erets – the earth your words have totally corrupted] into my place [the new heaven and earth the LORD is creating].
20 But Sihon [these word warriors] trusted [‘aman – supported] not Israel to pass [‘abar] through his coast [the limit of their words, the end of their evil effect]: but Sihon [these warriors] gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz [trodden down, their ways they refuse to yield], and fought against Israel.
21 And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed [yarash – inherited] all the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth] of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
22 And they possessed [yarash – inherited] all the coasts [ending the rule] of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.
23 So now the LORD God of Israel [the Creator and Owner of all the earth] has dispossessed [yarash] the Amorites [who’ve brought the earth to its current state of ruin] from before [paniym – by His presence with] his people Israel, and shouldest you possess [yarash ] it [to ruin it again]?
24 Will not you possess [yarash] that which Chemosh [subduer, of men by deception and falsehood] your god gives you to possess [yarash – inherit the hell he has given you]? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before [paniym – by His presence with] us, them will we possess [yarash – inherit].
25 And now are you any thing better than Balak [waster] the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
26 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did you not recover them within that time?
27 Wherefore I have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
28 Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which [this word] he sent him.
29 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon [hayah] Jephthah [the one who opens, and no man can shut what is opened], and he passed over [‘abar – passed over death into life] Gilead [by this mountain of the LORD’s testimony], and Manasseh [those who had forgotten the LORD], and passed over [‘abar – passed over death into life] Mizpeh [seeing this far off time has arrived] of Gilead [seeing it by this testimony], and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over [‘abar – from death into life] unto the children of Ammon [and overcoming them, gather into the LORD’s ONE BODY].
30 And Jephthah vowed [nadar] a vow [neder] unto the LORD [to follow no man, only the present LORD, declaring His this word is His presence], and said, If you shall without fail deliver the children of Ammon into my hands,
31 Then it shall be, that whatsoever comes forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from [the war against] the children of Ammon [who’ve scattered God’s people], shall surely be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering [the necessary sacrifice that comes with speaking His word and declaring it is His presence manifested in our flesh].
32 So Jephthah passed over [‘abar – from death into life] unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
33 And he smote them from Aroer [the ruin of the earth], even till you come to Minnith [this dispensation of truth], even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards [the earth seen as the LORD’s], with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued [kana’ – bent their knee, under the LORD’s rule] before [paniym – present with and in] the children of Israel.
34 And Jephthah came to Mizpeh [this time now seen, in the plain sight, that the earth is the LORD’s vineyard] unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child [the LORD’s ONE Risen BODY]; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
35 And it came to pass [hayah], when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! you have brought me very low [kara’ – bend your knee to the LORD as I have bent mine], and you are [hayah] one of them that trouble [‘akar – roil these waters by not obeying] me: for I have opened my mouth [as you must open yours] unto the LORD and vowed a vow, [that I would offer the first thing from my house as a burnt offering], and I cannot go back.
36 And she said unto him, My father, if you have opened your mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which has proceeded out of your mouth; forasmuch as the LORD has taken vengeance for you of your enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
37 And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.
38 And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains [declare there are no other voices above the LORD voice].
39 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow [neder] which he had vowed [nadar]: and she knew no man [following only the LORD]. And it was a custom in Israel,
40 That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament [tanah – rehearse, tell again, opening their mouth to the LORD, of] the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
Job 15
17 I will show you, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20 The wicked man travails with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21 A dreadful sound [the voices of wicked men] is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22 He believes not that he shall return out of darkness [into the light where His wickedness is uncovered in the apocalypse], and he is waited for of the sword [this word of God they refuse].
23 He wanders abroad for bread [looking for someone to explain what he is experiencing], saying, Where is it? he knows that the day of darkness [his ignorance] is ready at his hand.
24 Trouble [tsar] and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready [‘athiyd] to the battle.
25 For he stretches out his hand against God, and strengthens himself against the Almighty.
Isaiah 19
19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar [one stationed] at the border [gbuwl – at the limit, at the appointed time, the mow’ed] thereof to the LORD.
20 And it [the pillar at the border] shall be for a sign [‘owth] and for a witness [‘ed] unto the LORD of hosts [a man of war] in the land of Egypt [the earth under these oppressors]: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of [paniym – to manifest His presence against] the oppressors, and he shall send them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver [natsal – same as harpazo, “caught up,” “pulled”] them [from the fires of hell].
21 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day [this time of light], and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow [nadar] a [neder] vow unto the LORD, and perform it [shalam – “pay” it, as did Jonah].
22 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated [‘athar] of them, and shall heal them.
23 In that day shall there be a highway [of the LORD] out of Egypt [oppression] to [for those who were communists] Assyria, and the Assyrian [the former communists, whose minds are changed] shall come into Egypt [this land, earth, that was before rule by oppression], and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve [the LORD] with the Assyrians.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land [‘erets – the earth]:
25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands [whose minds are changed], and Israel my inheritance [all now changed, as 1 Corinthians 15:51 & 52].
Psalms 76
1 In Judah [among the elect remnant] is God known: his name [identity] is great in Israel.
2 In Salem [peace] also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There brakes he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of [the governments that are My] prey.
5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands [to do this work of the LORD and prevail in none of their works against Him].
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse [of the mighty are overthrown in these waters] are cast into a dead sleep.
7 You, even you, are to be feared [referring us to Jeremiah 10:7, and to Yahh to whom it appertains {ya’ah}; which is quoted Revelation 15:4, when God’s people sing the songs of Moses and of the Lamb, which is His wrath, the seven last plagues, against those who’ve refused to receive it as His word and presence]: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?
8 You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still [shaqat – quieted, calmed as the sea of glass mixed with this fire],
9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth [who shall inherit it]. Selah.
10 Surely the wrath of man [contrasted with the LORD’s, which is sent to save and not destroy] shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.
11 Vow [nadar], and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the [evil] spirit of princes: he is terrible to the [wicked] kings of the earth.
The song of the Lamb: a Psalm of David, speaking of him as the necessary sacrifice the LORD sent into this tribulation, to calm them into a sea of glass mingled with His fire from His mouth:
Psalms 86
A Psalm of David
1 Bow down [natah] your ear, O LORD [Jehovah], hear me: for I am poor [without worldly power] and needy. [This verse refers us to 2 Samuel 22, verses 9 & 10 saying “There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. He bowed {natah} the heavens also, and came down; and darkness {the earth’s ignorance of Him} was under his feet.]
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O You my God, save Your servant that trusts in You.
3 Be merciful unto me, O LORD {‘Adonay – my King of kings]: for I cry unto You daily.
4 Rejoice the soul of Your servant: for unto You, O LORD [‘Adonay], do I lift up my soul.
5 For You, LORD [‘Adonay], are good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon You.
6 Give ear, O LORD [Jehovah], unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble [this tribulation wherein I find myself, my soul, alive among the dead] I will call upon You: for You will answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto You, O LORD [‘Adonay]; neither are there any works like unto Your works.
9 All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You [paniym – in Your presence], O Lord; and shall glorify Your name [identity, I Am in this generation].
10 For You are great, and do wondrous things: You are God alone.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD [Jehovah], I will walk in Your truth: unite my heart [with those having this same One Mind] to fear Your name [identity].
12 I will praise You, O LORD [‘Adonay] my God, with all my heart [mind]: and I will glorify Your name [identity] for evermore.
13 For great is Your mercy toward me: and You have delivered my [immortal] soul from the lowest hell.
14 O God, the proud [the dead here in hell] are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul [to keep me among the dead]; and have not set You before them.
15 But You, O LORD [‘Adonay], are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give Your strength unto Your servant, and save the son of Your handmaid.
17 Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because You, LORD [Jehovah], have helped me, and comforted me.
