9 – 13 June 2024 PART 2 OF 2
Isaiah 12
1 And in that day you shall say, O LORD, I will praise you: though you were angry with me, your anger is turned away, and you comforted [nacham] me.
2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD [Yahh] Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become [hayah] my salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus: Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh of His chosen].
3 Therefore with joy [realizing, You have manifested Yourself into our sight] shall you draw [sha’ab] water [as I Am] out of the wells [of the good figs] of salvation [yshuw’ah].
4 And in that day shall you say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name [His identity], [open your mouths and] declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name [His identity manifested in His word from our mouths] is exalted [His word above all other].
5 Sing [repeat these same words with Me] unto the LORD [who delights in hearing them]; for he has done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
6 [Open your mouths] Cry out and shout, you inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of you.
Nahum [Nacham, The Comforter] 3
1 Woe to the bloody city [doing violence by their words]! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departs not;
2 The noise [qowl – voice] of a whip, and the noise [qowl – the voice] of the rattling [ra’ash – the voice now shaking heaven and earth, as in Ezekiel 37:7 that bring the dry bones together, the “quaking” that warns men to be careful of whose words they follow and repeat, because in these in life and death] of the wheels [‘ophan – the wheel within a wheel, which Ezekiel saw, and with opened mouth, delared], and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots [all those now animated from their sleep into the battle of light against darkness, the living against those choosing to remain dead].
3 The horseman [all those on the white horses of Revelation 19] lift up both the bright sword and the glittering spear [giving, with me, this light as received]: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses [the animated dead flesh without the LORD Spirit]; and there is none end of their corpses; they [the animated dead] stumble upon their corpses:
4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms [those who left God and now follow the false gods, wicked men in power] of the well favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts [kesheph, from kashaph, meaning “to whisper a spell, i.e. to enchant or practice magic,” as in using words as spells to manipulate and control people into doing their evil will; as do the wicked powers through their evil mouths, words heard, from their {news and social} media, the pulpits of church and state from where they broadcast and publish: whispering their manipulations, to delude the minds of their prey who obey the spells].
5 Behold, I am against you, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war]; and I will discover your skirts [exposing those things you think are private and no one sees] upon your face [paniym – and the evil presence possessing you shall be uncovered], and I will show the nations [those who haven’t known who possess you] your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame [the evil end you intend but will never reach].
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon you, and make you vile, and will set you as a gazing-stock [and all shall see you as you are].
7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon you shall flee from you, and say, Nineveh is laid waste [Matthews 12:41 The men of Nineveh {who rise to stand fast with the LORD} 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.]: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters [nacham] for you [who, as did Jonah, the dove, as signs of the end reached, come from the belly of hell, to call this evil generation to repentance, and lead it into all this truth]?
8 Are you better than populous No [meaning disruption, the ancient capital of Egypt], that was situated [yashab – whose dwelling] among the rivers [the waters that flow into the sea, as word to humanity at large], that had the waters [their words] round about it [cabiyb – were their evil “circuit,” producing death as its end], whose rampart [cheyl – whose army] was the sea [is humanity at large, all dead], and her wall [protection] was from the sea [the dead sea, into which {descent} the river Jordan carried all]?
9 Ethiopia and Egypt [those covered in this darkness: ignorance, and the oppression of tyrants in power] were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim [arrows of false accusation and affliction] were your helpers.
10 Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11 You also shall be drunken: you shall be hid, you also shall seek strength because of the enemy.
12 All your strong holds shall be like fig trees with the first-ripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Behold, your people in the midst of you are women: the gates of your land shall be set wide open unto your enemies: the fire shall devour your bars.
14 Draw [sha’ad] you waters [from the evil figs] for the siege, fortify your strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick-kiln [the furnace].
15 There shall the fire devour you; the sword shall cut you off, it shall eat you up like the cankerworm: make yourself many as the cankerworm, make yourself many as the locusts.
16 You have multiplied your merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoils, and flees away.
17 Your crowned are as the locusts, and your captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
18 Your shepherds slumber [in death], O king of Assyria [communists in power]: your nobles shall dwell in the dust [the ruin of the earth under their rule]: your people are scattered upon the mountains [the now totally corrupt government institutions of church and state], and no man gathers them.
19 There is no healing of your bruise; your wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of you shall clap the hands over you: for upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually?
Job 14
1 Man [‘adam – a human] that is born of a woman [‘ishshah; ‘iysh seh – an individual among the flock] is of few days and full of trouble [rogez – agitation that rages in his time].
2 He comes forth like a flower, and is [as a tree] cut down: he flees also as a shadow [tsel – one that is a product of a time without light], and continues not.
3 And do you open your eyes upon such a one [caught in such a time], and bring me into judgment with you?
4 Who [except you LORD, by His judgment] can [by the washing of regeneration by His word] bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one [man].
5 Seeing his days are determined [charats – have a decreed end], the number of his months are with you, you [LORD] have appointed his bounds [choq – the appointed time decreed] that he cannot pass [‘abar – that without You he cannot Passover from death into life];
6 Turn from him, that he may rest [sleep in the flesh], till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day [the end when the recompense comes].
7 For [as is ‘adam] there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground [‘aphar – the ashes of the earth’s ruin, from where God created the first and creates the second ‘adam];
9 Yet through the scent of water [perceiving the word of God] it will bud [be quickened to life], and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10 But man [geber – the mighty] dies, and wastes away: yea, man [‘adam] gives up the ghost [gava’ – with his last breath his unknown essence, substance, leaves his body], and where is he [no man knows]?
11 As the waters fail from the sea [as the word of God loses its original meaning, and its value is lost in the degeneration through successive generations], and the flood [of men’s corruption] decays and dries [it, understanding] up:
12 So man lies down [sleeps in death unaware], and rises not: till the heavens [all understanding] be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep [until these waters are sent from the cloud in heaven where they are reserved for this moment].
13 O that you would hide me [as You have hidden me] in the grave [sheol – in hell among the sleeping dead], that you would keep me secret, until your wrath be past [and my enemies have become my footstool], that you would appoint [as you have appointed] me a set time [choq – this decreed end], and remember me [zakar, the same {identical} word rendered male in the creation of ‘adam, and the “man child” spoken of in Isaiah 66:7, the passage saying “5 Hear the word of the LORD, you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. 6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompense to his enemies. 7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child [zakar]. 8 Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? says your God.”]!
14 If a man [geber] die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change [chaliyphah – speaking of changing our outer cover of flesh] come.
15 You shall call [to awaken me], and I [when I am awakened] will answer you [as You’ve commanded]: you will have a desire to the work of your hands [making me in Your image and likeness].
16 For now you number my steps [understanding the corruption picked up along the way]: do you not watch over [shamar – you don’t protect and defend] my sin [the corrupt offering of the wicked]?
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and you sew up my iniquity [you remove {by uncovering} the things we, in our sleep, have put together: forged in Your name].
18 And surely the mountains [the high place of the earth] falling [away from good into evil] comes to naught, and the rock [the worthless governments in which the ignorant trust] is removed out of his place.
19 The waters wear the stones [that seem immovable]: [as] you [LORD] wash away the [corrupt] things which grow out of the dust [ruin] of the earth; and you [LORD] destroy the [worthless] hope of man [‘enowsh – those who remain dead flesh, waiting for their promised utopia which is now realized to be hell].
20 You prevail [taqaph] forever against him, and he passes: you change [shanah – duplicate] his countenance [paniym], and send him away [into ignorance of his own presence in hell].
21 His sons come to honor, and he knows it not; and they are brought low, but he perceives it not of them [knowing not that he is them in hell].
22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his [unknown] soul within him shall mourn.
The word matstsebeth only appears four times, in addition to the two above in Isaiah 6:13. It’s first used in Genesis 35:14 & 20, speaking of the “pillar” Jacob set up at Bethel, the place where the LORD spoke to him and renamed him Israel; and of the “pillar” he set (natsab) in the way to Ephrath (Ephraim), upon Rachel’s grave (qbuwrah), where she died in birthing Benjamin.
The other two (uses of matstsebeth) are in in 2 Samuel 18:18, where we’re told of when Absalom “reared up” (natsab), a “pillar” to himself.
These speak of the time and place of the stand (natsab), the same stand Daniel foretold, the harvest (judgment) wherein Jeremiah and Amos saw baskets of summer fruit, both evil and good figs, who are the sons of light and darkness now awakened in this battle at Armageddon: this mountain (har) of the rendezvous (Megiddo), in this appointed time, in the plain (sight) of Jezreel (when the LORD plants His new creation in the earth).
Daniel 12
1 And at that time shall Michael [who is like God] stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – tribulation], such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book [when it is again opened].
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust [ruin] of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness [this understanding] of the firmament [from this exposition, where the water below are separate from the LORD’s word above, which He tells us is heaven]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars [lights in the darkness] forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets – as it has been]: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased [as it is].
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood [‘amad] other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river [the senders of this word forward], and the other on that side of [the receiver of this world sent] the bank of the river.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end [qets] of these wonders [things wondered about]?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that lives forever that it shall be for a time [mow’ed – this appointed time], times [mow’ed – of the congregation, when the LORD assembles His army against the army of darkness], and a half [chetsiy – to split open, when this word is rightly divided again]; and when he shall have accomplished [kalah] to scatter the power of the holy people [as it is], all these things shall be [as they are] finished [kalah].
Amos 8
1 Thus has the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih – the King of king and LORD of LORDs] showed unto me: and behold a basket [klub – other than here, it only appears once, in Jeremiah 5:27] of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos, what see you? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end [qets] is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by [‘abar] them any more [this is the time I raise to life from the dead those I’ve predestined].
3 And the songs [the words repeated] of the temple shall be howling [of vexation to understand this report, to hear it as the voice of the LORD] in that day [this time when light, understanding that is life, has come], says the LORD God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence [because they refuse to hear this word as the LORD’s and therefore speak it, exalting it above all other voices, as He commands].
4 Hear [shama’ – and obey] this, O you that swallow up [into the belly of hell] the needy [who need to hear this word, these good tidings, of the LORD’s presence], even to make the poor of the land [‘erets – the earth] to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon [the LORD’s new government, present on the earth] be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath [this interruption of the work and words of those misleading God’s people, taking them off course into blindness], that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah [the standard of equal justice] small, and the shekel [the bribes of betrayal] great [to outweigh justice], and falsifying the balances by deceit?
Jeremiah 5
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait [conspire evil], as he that sets snares [for the innocent]; they set a trap, they catch men.
27 As a cage [klub] is full of birds [as a basket of summer fruit in this time of harvest: judgment], so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great [by falsifying the balance], and waxen rich [through the bribes they receive to do so and betray humanity into self-destruction].
28 They are waxen fat [prosper in this evil they perpetrate], they shine [the wicked word of deception upon all, calling their lies “news” and the truth “disinformation”]: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless [without any man to protect and defend them], yet they prosper [in their evil]; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29 Shall I not visit [paqad – manifest My presence as I have, as the Chief Overseer of the earth, and the kinsman redeemer of My family] for these things? says the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation [the people who haven’t known Me or My ways] as this?
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land [‘erets – the earth];
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their [deceitful] means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof [‘achariyth – these last days, of which all, except My chosen, are ignorant]?
Deuteronomy 32
3 Because I will publish the name [the present identity] of the LORD: ascribe you greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot [mark of injustice] is not the spot [mark of justice and righteousness] of his children: they [the wicked in power and those who obey them] are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do you thus requite [gamal – treat wrongfully] the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he your father that has bought you? has he not made you, and established [kuwn] you?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you [as they here do testify in these words written and sent to you].
8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds [natsab gbuwlah – this appointed time in which we, the LORD’s army, stand against the army of darkness] of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the LORD’s portion [inheritance] is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance [His estate].
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple [‘iyshown – His pupil] of his eye [who He has taught to see as He sees].
11 As an eagle [the final face of, manifested presence of the LORD, the life-giving creature {man} Ezekiel saw in the wheel within the wheel] stirs up her nest, flutter [rachaph – as His Almighty Spirit, the LORD present and unknown, moved upon the waters of the darkened deep] over her young, spreads abroad her wings [makes His voice from their heard], takes them, bears them on her wings [carrying them into heaven]:
12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
The deeper meaning in the word matstsebeth, is found in its affinity to the two words matsa and tsaba’, as in Isaiah 29 above. This word (tsaba’) is the same as the word (6635) rendered “hosts,” when speaking of the LORD as the commander of this (His) army
The Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definitions of these words are:
Strong’s #4672: matsa’: a primitive root; properly, to come forth to, i.e. appear or exist; transitively, to attain, i.e. find or acquire; figuratively, to occur, meet or be present.
Strong’s #6633: tsaba’: a primitive root; to mass (an army or servants):– assemble, fight, perform, muster, wait upon, war.
Isaiah 31
4 For thus has the LORD spoken [as the Lion of Judah roaring] unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of [corrupt] shepherds [ra’ah – the blind who call themselves “seers”] is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war] come down to fight [tsaba’] for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
5 As birds flying [with full understanding], so will the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war] defend [New Heavenly] Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it [natsal – the same as the Greek word harpazo, rendered “caught up” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, and “pulled” from the fires in Jude 1:23 – used in Zechariah 3:2, as the LORD rebukes Satan, who is resisting the LORD as He is cleansing the priesthood, there called Joshua {Jesus}, speaking of the dead body of Christ raised again, saying “And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke you, O Satan; even the LORD that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: is not this a brand plucked {natsal} out of the fire?]; and passing over [forgiving those marked with this sacrifice heard from them] he will preserve [malat – rescue] it.
6 Turn you unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
7 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.
8 Then shall the Assyrian [the communists in power] fall with the sword [this word heard from our mouths], not of a mighty man; and the sword [this word], not of a mean man, [but this word heard] shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword [of the LORD, from His mouth], and his young men shall be discomfited.
9 And he shall pass over to [remain in death] his strong hold [lies and deception] for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign [nec – the son of man lifted as Moses lifted the fiery serpent in the wilderness, where His word is exalted], says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in [New Heavenly] Jerusalem.
These above verses (of Isaiah 31) refer to what Jeremiah speaks of in Jeremiah 49:19 & 50:44, referring to this end the LORD spoke of in Jeremiah 12:5, both the latter passages identically (except for the word “against”) saying, “Behold, he [the LORD] shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan [the pride of those whose words carried all in the descent into death] against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him [the wicked in power] run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint [paqad – as Chief Overseer in whom I manifest My presence and exercising My authority] over her? for who is [as Michael] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd [ra’ah – a seer seeing as I see] that will stand [‘amad] before me [paniym – as My presence]?”
And to those, as Absalom, in revolt: Christians and Jews who now say they have no king except the god their religions created, who charge you to hear (and obey) their advice, thus says the LORD, “You say, Prophesy not against God’s people, and drop not your word against the house of His promise. Therefore, thus says Jehovah: Those who follow you shall be unfaithful in this nation I have given them, and those you have raised shall fall by this word you and, therefore, they refuse, and humanity in this generation shall be divided by your incorrect assessment; and you shall remain dead in this last generation corrupted by the words and ways of your kind: and My people shall surely go into captivity, their minds will be captivated by My truth, in this new generation I Am creating.”
Amos 9
1 I saw [ra’ah – as the LORD sees] the LORD [‘Adonay – the King of kings] standing [natsab – to lead His army] upon the altar [the power found in His sacrifice]: and he said, Smite [with this word] the lintel [kaphtor – the capital of their pillar] of the door, that the posts[caph – referring to Isaiah 6:4, speaking of what occurs just before Isaiah sees the LORD; saying “And the posts of the door {caph} moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.”] may shake [ra’ash – shaking that brings the dead bones together to life as they stand as the LORD’s army {Ezekiel 37:7 – 10}; here a different version of the word that tells of the noise {qowl – voice} of the fall of Babylon, by which all the earth is “moved,” as in Hebrews 12:25 – 29}]: and cut them in the head [mark them by their evil thoughts heard from their evil mouths {Jeremiah 50:46}], all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword [the word of the LORD from His mouth and my hand]: he that flees [this word, as mentioned above] of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered [malat]
2 Though they dig into hell [sheol], thence shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven [saying they have understanding], thence will I [by their own errors] bring them down:
3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel [as serpents slithering in My garden among My people], I will search [their hearts: minds] and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight [the eyes of My people] in the bottom of the sea [among humanity, unseen in the darkened deep], thence will I command the serpent [the son of man lifted up to save those who look to him from the serpents slithering among them], and he shall bite them [with this word of the LORD, as a sword from My mouth]:
4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set my eyes upon them for [to destroy them by their own] evil, and not for good [they reject].
5 And the LORD God of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war] is he that touches the land [‘erets – the earth], and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein [the old and corrupt heaven and earth] shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood [of their own evil words against them]; and shall be drowned [chocked by their own words], as by the flood of Egypt [these tyrants in sheep’s clothing among My flock, feeding themselves from the flock they fear losing].
6 It is he that builds his stories [ma’alah – His way of rising] in the heaven [by full understanding given from the LORD], and has founded his troop [ONE BODY] in the earth; he that calls for the waters of the sea [His word to be heard by all humanity], and pours them out upon the face of [paniym – as His presence manifested on] the earth [‘erets]: The LORD is his name.
7 Are you [misleaders who refuse this light] not as children of the Ethiopians [brought up in darkness: the ignorance that now covers the earth] unto me, O children of Israel? says the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land [‘erets] of Egypt [of tyrants]? and the Philistines from Caphtor [removed the crown of the invading army mixed among you], and the Syrians from Kir [and removed the protection of those who exalt their words above the words of God]?
8 Behold, the eyes of the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih – the King of kings and LORD of LORDs] are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of [paniym – by My presence manifested in My word] the earth [‘adamah – from this new generation I Am creating], saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says the LORD.
9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations [and I will save My elect remnant, the tenth, the tithe brought into My storehouse], like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth [‘erets – the new earth].
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword [the word from My mouth, which they refuse and thereby choose self-condemnation], which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom [the enemies mixed among them], and of all the heathen [those who haven’t know me], which are called by my name, says the LORD that does this.
13 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that the plowman [the old and corrupt heaven and earth, plowing them under as a corrupt crop] shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed [of corruption]; and the mountains [the new government of God] shall drop sweet wine [He is treading out], and all the hills [the old and corrupt places risen over the earth] shall melt.
14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will plant them upon their land [‘adamah – as My new generation], and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land [‘adamah – this new life into which I have raised them] which I have given them, says the LORD your God.
Matthew 7
13 Enter you in [into His presence] at the strait [stenos – avoiding the obstacles that attempt to block the] gate: for wide [platus – only used here, the same as plasso and plastos, meaning fabricated, fictitious, falsely formed] is the gate, and broad [euruchoros {eu-rhume-chora} – only used here, meaning crowding good into emptiness: making it without form] is the way, that leads [apago] to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait [stenos – wrought with these obstacles] is the gate, and narrow [thlibo – crowded with those who put their opinions in the place of truth] is the way, which leads [apago] unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets [speaking in the LORD’s name, or in the name of some other god they put in His place], which come to you in sheep’s clothing [disguised as a friend or neighbor, saying they are at peace with you, while they war against us, our better culture, and our nation], but inwardly they are ravening wolves [who will turn on you, and as the swine mentioned above, rend you: scattering you from the LORD and His ONE BODY, which only a chosen few find].
16 You shall know them by their fruits [karpos – the foundations of their mind revealed in their conversation]. Do men gather grapes of thorns [misleaders], or figs of thistles [deceivers]?
17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit [karpos]; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit [karpos].
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit [karpos], neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit [karpos].
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit [karpos] is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits [karpos] you shall know them.
21 Not every one that says unto me, LORD, LORD, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven [bringing forth the good fruit He has given us and commanded us to give as received].
22 Many will say to me in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you [I was never, and I Am not now, joined with you in your own evil works against me and My flock]: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a Rock [the sons from whom the Father’s word flows]:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a Rock.
26 And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand [ammos – a-momos, only used five times, meaning they are those claiming they are flawless: infallible, as do the many religious of our time, saying they are without a beam in their eye]:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes [the know-it-alls].
Psalms 11
1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your [corrupt] mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD tries the righteous: but the wicked and him that loves violence his soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance [paniym – His presence] does behold the upright.
