9 – 13 June 2024 PART 1 OF 2
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD.
The above is Jeremiah 23:1, stating the chapter’s topic, wherein the LORD today began in verse 37, saying “Thus shall you say to the prophet, ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and, ‘What has the LORD spoken?’”
The title is the answer from the LORD, while the false prophets among us say the LORD’s words are a burden, when He, in context, says their words are the burden and withholding them (His answering) is their most woeful offense.
The secondary objective, against which The LORD sent me, is these men’s misleading (evil) words, the reason, the primary objective, also stated in the title verse, is to gather (into His ONE BODY) His people they’ve (the wicked by this same evil) scattered.
Jeremiah 23
2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the pastors [ra’ah – shepherds and seers] that feed my people; You have scattered [puwts – dashed into pieces] my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited [paqad – manifesting My presence to them as the Chief Overseer of the earth, for their good, to unite into My ONE BODY] them: behold [see], [therefore] I will visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth, bring] upon you the evil of your doings, says the LORD.
3 And I will gather [qabats – will collect] the remnant of my flock out of all countries [‘erets – the earth] whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds [My ONE BODY]; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds [ra’ah – pastors and seers seeing as I see] over them which shall feed them [with My words]: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed [chatham – not again be broken apart by men’s confusion and fear], neither shall they be lacking [paqad – will not be without an overseer seeing as I see], says the LORD.
5 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch [I Am], and a King [I Am] shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth [‘erets].
6 In his days Judah [my new crop of Godly leaders I raise from among the ruin of the old] shall be saved, and Israel [My people at large who inherit the promise of a new heaven and earth wherein dwells My righteousness] shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The LORD Our Righteousness.
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD lives, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land [‘erets – the earth] of Egypt [under those tryants];
8 But, The LORD lives, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country [‘erets – the earth covered in darkness: men’s ignorance], and from all countries [‘erets – the earth] whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land [‘adamah – this new generation I Am creating].
9 My heart [My mind in My people] within me is broken because of the [false] prophets [infesting church and state]; all my bones shake [rachaph – only appears elsewhere in Genesis 1:2, telling of when the LORD unknown “moved” on the face of the waters: the darkened deep; and in Deuteronomy 32:11, of when He, as an eagle, “flutters” over His nest to cause His young to come fly with Him]; I am [the dead body of Christ is] like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness [has come to remove the cause, the corruption of false prophets and false teachers, that pervades the bead body].
10 For the land is full of adulterers [who have left the LORD to follow these false gods of the world]; for because of swearing [‘alah – these men, false gods, loathing this word, and exalting theirs above it] the land [‘erets – the earth] mourns; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, says the LORD.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness [their ignorance of My presence and manner]: they shall be driven on, and fall therein [the pit they’ve dug]: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation [pquddah – this time when the LORD appears as the Chief Overseer of the earth], says the LORD.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria [who worship idols men created, put in God’s place, and who their devils, their evil misleaders, tell them are their gods]; they prophesied in Baal [the creations of men who put themselves in God’s place], and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none does return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom [a place of endless flames], and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah [total ruin].
15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war] concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood [their own poison they teach and preach], and make them drink the water of gall [the same poison by which they judge]: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness [the same poisonous teaching, preaching, and judgment] gone forth into all the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth].
16 Thus says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war], Hearken [shama’ – obey] not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain [worthless by following their ways]: they speak a vision of their own heart [creations of their own corrupted minds: evil imaginations], and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD has said, You shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walks after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you [the great paradox of our time: looking to those who’ve brought the violence of their evil upon heaven and earth, calling it peace, to warn God’s people against the evil they’ve brought upon them, who are at war with God and His people while calling it peace].
18 For who [none of these misleaders] has stood [‘amad] in the counsel [cowd] of the LORD [by which the living live – 1 Thessalonians 3:8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the LORD.], and has perceived [ra’ah – seen as He sees] and heard [shama’ – and obeyed] his word? who has marked [qashab – let pierce the ear and enter the mind] his word, and heard [shama’ – and obeyed] it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind [from where the voice of the Almighty is heard] of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has executed, and till he has performed the thoughts of his heart [His mind]: in the latter days [‘achariyth – these last days of ignorance of the LORD’s presence] you shall consider [biyn – understand] it perfectly [biynah – by the understanding given by Jehovah, from the whirlwind].
21 I have not sent these [false] prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood [‘amad] in my counsel [cowd], and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should [would] have turned them [to life by standing fast in the LORD] from their evil way [taught by these false prophets and false teacher], and from the evil of their doings [their corrupt judgment by which they judged the old heaven and earth into insanity and ruin].
23 Am I a God [I Am, My presence in the conversation manifested] at hand [qarowb – “near (in place, kindred {Redeemer} or time),” from qarab, meaning approaching, as in bringing these things to pass – Isaiah 56:1 Thus says the LORD, Keep you judgment, and do justice: for my salvation {yshuw’ah – Jesus} is near {qarowb} to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.], says the LORD, and not [also] a God afar off [rachowq – present in this time when the old earth and heaven are ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power}? [Hebrews 13: 6 So that we may boldly say, The LORD is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.]
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? says the LORD. Do not I fill [male’ – replenishes] heaven and earth? says the LORD. [Jeremiah 31:25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished {male’} every sorrowful soul. 26 Upon this I awaked {quwts – the awaking of Isaiah 26:19 and Daniel 12:2}, and beheld {ra’ah – saw as the LORD sees}; and my sleep was sweet unto me.]
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed [chalam – they are bound firmly to the thoughts of their own minds], I have dreamed [chalam]. [This {chalam} is the same twice used in Isaiah 29:8 as the LORD speaks of the sealed book, the same Daniel 12 speaks of, the time, while the book, the word of God, is sealed, when these false prophesies of false prophets rule the minds of all the dead, from which sleep all God’s people awaken and realize they have been deceived by the wanderings {backsliding} of their own thought into delusions.]
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart [minds];
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name [My identity manifested the same yesterday, today, and forever] by their dreams [chalowm] which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal [the idol men created, put in My place, and call by My name].
28 The prophet that has a dream [chalowm], let him tell a dream [chalowm]; and he that has my word, let him speak my word [this word] faithfully. What is the chaff [the worthless words of these false prophets] to the wheat [this good word of the LORD now rightly threshed from the chaff]? says the LORD.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? says the LORD; and like a hammer that breaks the [false] rock [in which men have put their trust and been misled] in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that steal [from My people] my words everyone from his neighbor.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He says [when I have never spoken to these false prophets who refuse to know Me and instead choose to remain in their delusions].
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams [chalowm], says the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness [putting no value on My words from My chosen messenger I sent]; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people [they mislead] at all, says the LORD.
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, “What is the burden of the LORD?” you shall then say unto them, “What burden?” I will even forsake you, says the LORD. [Because they call My words a burden without value, “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”] [The word “burden,” here and below, is from the word massa’ – meaning “a burden; specifically, tribute, or (abstractly) porterage; figuratively, an utterance, chiefly a doom, especially singing; mental, desire:–burden, carry away, prophecy, X they set, song, tribute.”]
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man [that calls this word a burden without value] and his house.
35 Thus shall you [My wakened people] say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What has the LORD answered? and, What has the LORD spoken? [And you shall give them this word that is light and life freely given to those held in these men’s darkness here in the old heaven and earth they’ve corrupted and turned into hell.]
36 And the burden of the LORD shall you mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war] our God.
37 Thus shall you say to the prophet, “What has the LORD answered you?” and, “What has the LORD spoken?” [And if they know Me, they shall speak according to this word, without their corruption]
38 But since you [still] say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus says the LORD; Because you say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, You shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence [paniym]:
40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame [everlasting contempt to which the wicked awaken, as in Daniel 12:2], which shall not be forgotten.
Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel [the Lion of God – the strength {understanding} of God, here taken and controlled by the wicked], to Ariel, the city where David [the lion of Judah] dwelt! add you year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel [it will again be My strength].
3 And I [as a man of war] will camp against you round about, and will lay siege against you with a mount, and I will raise forts against you.
4 And you shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust [as the voice of the serpent from the ruin of the earth], and your voice shall be, as of one that has a familiar spirit [of the known dead speaking words of death], out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Moreover the multitude of your strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6 You shall be visited [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] of the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war] with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight [tsaba’] against Ariel, even all that fight [tsaba’] against her and her munition [matsowd – her munitions are the root, a foundation, of righteousness], and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams [chalam], and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams [chalam], and, behold, he drinks; but he awakens, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight [tsaba’] against mount Zion [when they awaken and realize their own mind’s delusions deceived them and they have been emptied of all understanding].
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder [not knowing what you are experiencing]; cry you out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep [with no signs of life], and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers [ra’ah – those who see as God sees] has he covered [kacah].
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book [cepher] that is sealed [chatham], which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed [chatham]:
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart [the foundations of their mind – their stiocheion, the elements of their understanding, are corrupt and disordered] far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [eye opening] work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder [pele’ – at which all have wondered]: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their [wicked] counsel [‘etsah] from the LORD, and their works are in the dark [their own ignorance of reality and truth they can’t understand because it is as a foreign language], and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down [the overthrow] shall be esteemed as the potter’s [yatsar] clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed [yatser] say of him that framed [yatsar] it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon [purity seen in high places] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words [this word] of the book [cepher], and the eyes of the blind shall see [again] out of obscurity, and out of darkness [by coming out of ignorance].
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed [padah] Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale [but they will reach the end promised].
23 But when he sees his children [who have been born again out of death and hell], the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name [declare My identity Holy], and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured [against me] shall learn doctrine.
Malachi 3
1 Behold, I will send my messenger [mal’ak- My angel, who is a man of war as well as a man of God], and he shall prepare the way before me [paniym – in Him My presence is manifested]: and the LORD [‘adown – the king], whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger [mal’ak] of the covenant [of My promises], whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war].
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers [using words as spells to control minds they’ve deluded], and against the adulterers [who’ve left God to follow men who’ve put themselves in His place], and against false swearers [using lies as policy by which they rule], and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages [stealing through taxation, redistribution with which they buy the souls of dead men], the widow, and the fatherless, [both having no man to protect and defend them against the evil powers] and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war].
6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed [by My fire].
7 Even from the days of your fathers you are gone away from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war]. But you said, Wherein shall we return?
8 Will a man rob God? Yet you [den of thieves] have robbed me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings [of your churches and taxes of your civil governments, by which you rob My people].
9 You are cursed with a curse: for you have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10 Bring you all the tithes [My people, the tenth that return] into the storehouse [this place where my treasures are found], that there may be meat [the flesh I quicken, who receive this word as light and life] in my house, and prove me now herewith, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war], if I will not open you the windows of heaven [and from there pour out these treasures], and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war].
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a delightsome land, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war].
13 Your words have been stout against me, says the LORD. Yet you say, What have we spoken so much against you?
14 You have said, It is vain to serve [the living] God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war]?
15 And now we call the proud [who call this word a burden without any value] happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often [this word from His mouth] one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name [His manifested identity].
17 And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war], in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.
18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked [good and evil leading, choosing the good and refuse evil], between him that serves God and him that serves him not.
Isaiah 6
5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people [as serpents among us with poisonous words] of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war].
6 Then flew [with full understanding] one of the seraphims [saraph – this if the fiery serpent lifted on the pole {nec}, in Numbers 21:6 & 8, as the son of man must be lifted: describing the word of the LORD spoken through His messengers He sends, who He lifts above all other voices, and all who look to them are not brought to death by the words of the evil serpents slithering among us] unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.
8 Also I heard [shama’ – and obeyed] the voice of the LORD, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, “Hear you indeed, but understand not; and see you indeed, but perceive not.”
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
11 Then said I, LORD, how long [will the words of the book be sealed]? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land [‘adamah – this end generation, the last that shall be the first on the new creation] be utterly desolate,
12 And the LORD have removed men far away [rachaq – this time when the earth is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men], and there be a great forsaking [‘azubah – desertion, only used here, speaking of the falling away from the LORD, into apostasy, which come upon all before we see Him again, as did Isaiah in verse 5 above] the midst of [qereb – speaking of the thought that are the belly of hell] the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth].
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten [ba’ar – kindled, from the root of the tree cut down]: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
The word above, twice rendered “substance,” is the six times used Hebrew word matstsebeth, said to mean something stationed, stone(s) as a memorial. It is said to be from the word natsab, meaning a station, referring to its two uses in Deuteronomy 29:10 & 32:8.
Deuteronomy 29
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.
10 You stand [natsab – have been stationed here, to stand] this day all of you before [paniym – in the presence of] the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and your stranger [led by those who haven’t known Me] that is in your camp, from the hewer [who cut you down] of your wood unto the drawer [sha’ab – referring to Isaiah 12:3 and Nahum 3:14 below] of your water [this is a direct reference to Job 14:7 thru 9 below]:
12 That you shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD your God, and into his oath [’alah – this word, light, that raises man from death; and the curse to those who, hearing it, refusing to obey, choose to remain in darkness and death], which the LORD your God makes with you this day:
13 That he may establish [quwm] you today [in this time of light] for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto you a God, as he has said unto you, and as he has sworn unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath [’alah];
15 But with him that stands [‘amad – “for now we live, if we stand fast with the LORD,” 1 Thessalonians 3:8] here with us this day before [paniym – in the presence of] the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
16 (For you know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations [those who didn’t know Me] which you passed by [‘abar – from which you passed from death into life by these same life given waters];
17 And you have seen their abominations [then as now], and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
18 Lest [if you didn’t come out from among them into life] there would be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from [not standing fast with] the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations [men who haven’t known Me]; lest there would be among you a root [of evil] that bear gall and wormwood [the poison that kills minds, making them dark: ignorant of My words and ways];
19 And it come to pass, when he hears [shama’ – and should obey] the words of this curse [‘alah], that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination [creations, opinions that are delusions chosen over reality] of my heart [minds], to add drunkenness [inability to function soberly] to thirst [come from their refusal to receive these life-giving waters]:
20 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses [‘alah] that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.
21 And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
22 So that the generation to [now] come of your children that shall rise up [quwm – who are established by this same light] after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far [rachowq] land [‘erets – the earth now rule by the evil decrees of wicked men in power], shall say, when they see the plagues of that land [‘erets – the earth at this moment], and the sicknesses [tachaluw – that result from famine and ends in death] which the LORD has laid [chalal, as in ta-chaluw, the disease it {ta} points out] upon it;
23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24 Even all nations [men who haven’t know Me] shall say, Wherefore, has the LORD done thus unto this land [’erets – the earth]? what means the heat [this fire, as a sword, from His mouth] of this great anger [against those choosing to continue in their evil ways that are destroying all lives, freedom, and estate upon the earth]?
25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of [the way to sustainable peace and civilization, mutual, reciprocal, security in life, liberty, and property] the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land [‘erets] of Egypt [the tyrants and tyranny of that time]:
26 For they went [learned from] and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he [the LORD] had not given unto them:
27 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land [‘erets – the earth], to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book [sent forward, as a wheel within a wheel, a full circuit of understand, as a blessing sent, in the same course, circuit, to give the same understanding to those who will receive it as His word, rise again, and stand fast with the LORD]:
28 And the LORD rooted them [those who refuse His word, observe lying vanities, and forsaking their own mercy] out of their land [‘adamah – out of this generation the LORD is rasing in His new creation] in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land [‘erets – the hell they created on the old earth], as it is this day.
Malachi 4
1 For, behold, the day comes, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that comes shall burn them up, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war], that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name [my identity] shall the Sun [this understanding that brings the new day and unites the ONE BODY: the Church] of righteousness arise with healing [marpe’ – the cure for death] in his wings [the voice of the living, life-giving, creature: man in whom the LORD manifests His presence in four faces; in the wheel, the full circuit of establishing understanding, within the wheel, the same process explained from His written word sent forward, which is our conversation with Him, giving the strength with which we rise into heaven]; and you shall go forth, and grow up [into the same man] as calves [born again to do this same work] of the stall.
3 And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war].
4 Remember you the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb [when I untaught you the ways of oppression] for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Matthew 12
14 And if you will receive it, this is Elijah, which was for to come.
15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped unto you [sounding, saying I should bow to the image they’ve created], and you have not danced; we have mourned unto you [saying they repent while keeping the same corruption], and you have not lamented [all, by their opinions, delusions they’ve created, saying I should be doing what they have been taught I would].
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking [not accepting your corrupt ideas and ways], and they say, He has a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 Woe unto you, Chorazin [in the smoking furnace]! woe unto you, Bethsaida [the house of the fish – the houses that are the whale’s belly]! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon [those who come away from following the false rock, and those who hunt My people, catching them by the mouth as fish from the sea] at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 And you, Capernaum [to whom the Comforter has come, speaking and working unknown in their ignorance], which [to men whose words] are exalted unto heaven [saying you have your own understanding, your covenant with death, your agreement with hell], shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden [by the words of evil men], and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light [double meaning intended].
