Seek you out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it has commanded, and his spirit it has gathered them.

24 – 26 June 2024

The above, Isaiah 34:16, is the LORD cryptically announcing a warning to all the earth’s current inhabitants. As often discussed here, He, in this chapter (in verse 11), speaks of its (the earth’s) current condition in one of the three times the word bohuw appears. Here, it’s rendered “emptiness,” speaking of the stones from where (the wicked sitting in seats of power, mated as Babylon in church and state) flows the words in which men put their trust. The word tohuw, in the same verse rendered “confusion,” describes the foundation upon which these stones are built into (two) protective walls of lies (of these same stones: false prophets and false teachers together as false lights possessed by Satan).

To reiterate, in the other two uses (of tohuw and bohuw together, in Genesis 1:2 and Jeremiah 4:23), they are rendered identically, “without form, and void;” both speaking of a time (such as now) when darkness (man’s ignorance of God) covers the earth. Jeremiah says it’s when God’s people have become foolish and without understanding. Genesis tells us it’s when darkness was upon the (sur)face of the (paniym – present) deep, and when the LORD’s Almighty Spirit moves upon the face (paniym – the present word, sent as a wheel within a wheel) of the waters, revealing the light (life hidden there in the wheel sent) held there in the darkness (men’s ignorance).

As we know, John (dove) 1 speaks of himself as the dove (the sign of the end reached, like Jonah (dove) from the belly of hell in the darkened deep, sent from the belly of the whale (tanniyn, which is Leviathan, the Levitical priesthood, the crooked serpent, out of which he comes, through Zechariah his father, who remembers Jehovah), like the ark, holding therein all those and their mates, who are, without the LORD’s Spirit, as beasts, like those spoken of in Isaiah 34. These (two doves) are as I Am sent, not as the light, but (like Jonah to Nineveh, and John to God’s fallen people) calling all to repentance, acceptance of cleansing pure word of God’s, by which, after it passes, we see Him as the word made flesh and dwelling among us, in us, speaking and working.

In John’s time this presence was made known to those cleansed in His Baptism, taking them below the surface of the waters into the deep. This was as Jonah was taken in the belly of the whale, like Noah (rest) and the dove(the sign of the end) in the belly of the ark. The end came when the corrupt waters of men were abated and new life was found by the dove.

The One who appeared, after coming from the waters of John’s Baptism, was Jesus Christ (as the dove was seen coming from heaven and resting upon Him, as His Spirit unknown), sent by the Father to fill the void (the emptiness, the void realized as the men’s words where dried up) and to, by the word of God spoken from His flesh, fill the earth again with life, by these living waters. Now, the ONE to come, after this same baptism, as in the days of Noah, as the sign of Jonah, at this Second coming without sin (removed and forgotten in this washing), is His ONE BODY, risen to life by the LORD’s work, His Spirit among us unknown, speaking and working to manifest His identity, His forever presence with us, and alive in us, revealed.

Friends, I boldly, in the name (identity) of the LORD Jesus Christ alive in me, declare this is His “Second Coming,” appearing to those He’s called and chosen, predestined for this moment when we see Him as He is.

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light [understanding] of men.
5 And the light shines in darkness [to those ignorant of Him]; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John [the dove, the sign of the end reached].
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe [that the LORD is present in His word, this conversation that enlightens those who receive Him].
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lights [upon] every man that comes into the world [born in the flesh].
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him [by His word, the correction and understanding that comes to those who receive Him], and [because of the darkness, the corruption of false prophets and false teachers] the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name [identity manifested]:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace [these treasure of heaven] and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for he was before me [in the beginning].
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace [giving as the Father has given].
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man has [because of men’s corruption] seen God at any time, the only begotten Son [who the Father chose from the beginning], which is in the bosom of the Father [dwelling in the Father and the Father in him, as in us, when we receive Him] he [as have I] has declared him.
19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews [Judah, the current crop of corrupt leaders] sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you?
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Are you Elias? And he says, I am not. Are you that prophet? And he answered, No [He is Jonah, John, the dove, the sign of the end reached].
22 Then said they unto him, Who are you? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest you of yourself?
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness [to the desolated here in Nineveh], Make [the crooked places, the winding river] straight the way [so what is ahead of this repentance can be seen], of the LORD, as said the prophet Isaiah.
24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees [to those who’ve weakened and scattered God’s people].
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptize you then, if you [then] be not that Christ [because the LORD didn’t reveals Himself in his flesh], nor Elijah [because it isn’t the time of the full purification, the destruction of all the false prophets and false teachers], neither that prophet [spoken of in Deuteronomy 18:18 & 19, who the people will hear and obey]?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there stands one among you [always], whom you know not;
27 He it is, who coming after me [the baptism that purifies minds] is preferred before me, [who journeys from then to now unknown] whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose [ending His journey].
28 These things were done in Bethabara [house of the ford] beyond Jordan [before this time when the words of men that carried all in the descent into death are passed over and those who receive the LORD pass from death into life with Him], where John was baptizing.

When Isaiah 34:14 speaks of this time as when God’s people find this place of “rest,” it’s the seven times used Hebrew word manowach, meaning “quiet, i.e. (concretely) a settled spot, or (figuratively) a home:–(place of) rest.” The word’s deeper meaning is found in its deconstruction into ma Noah, meaning “what [time of] rest?”

It (manowach) is first used in Genesis 8:9, speaking of the time (when all understanding is suspended because of men’s corrupt waters covering the earth) then until now, saying:

Genesis 8
6 And it came to pass at the end [qets – this end] of forty days [the full course of the life-giving creature, the four faces, the LORD’s presence manifesting therein words and work, of the wheel Ezekiel saw as the LORD’s unfolding appearance], that Noah [rest – in the LORD presence realized] opened the window of [through which Ezekiel sees] the ark [wherein the testimony, the preparation of rest, is kept, suspended, reserved, until its time of revealing] which he had made:
7 And he sent forth a raven [a cover of darkness to cover the heavens], which went forth to and fro [yatsa’], until the [corrupt] waters [of corrupt men] were dried up from off the earth [‘erets].
8 Also he sent forth a dove [yownah – Jonah] from him, to see if the [corrupt] waters were abated [qalal – made bright] from off [ma’al – lifting the cover of treachery from] the face [paniym – the present deep] of the ground [‘adamah – darkening the minds of man who God created];
9 But the dove [yownah] found no rest [manowach] for the sole of her foot [the work for which he was sent], and she returned unto him into the ark [suspense, to be held there in silence], for the waters [corrupt waters] were on the face [paniym – covering the present deep in darkness] of the whole earth [‘erets]: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again [yacaph – the same as Joseph, meaning another son, his seed] he sent forth the dove [yownah – John] out of the ark;
11 And the dove came in to him in the evening [from the darkness]; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off [taraph – only used elsewhere in Ezekiel 17:9]: so Noah knew that the [corrupt] waters were abated [qalal – by understanding] from off [ma’al – removing the cover of treachery from] the earth.
12 And he stayed [remained in suspense] yet other [‘acher – as in ‘achariyth, until these last] seven days; and sent forth the dove [now again]; which returned not again [yacaph – never to be separated, in suspense, from his brethren again] unto him any more.

Matthew 3
1 In those days came John the Baptist [the dove sent out again to dry up the corrupt waters by immersing us in the LORD’s words], preaching in the wilderness of Judaea [the desolation of God’s leaders: teachers and preachers who became the whale’s belly],
2 And saying, Repent you: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand [when the devils are cast out by the finger of God pointing them out].
3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness [among the desolate], Prepare you the way of the LORD, make his paths [which the serpents made crooked] straight.
4 And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair [the burden covering the beast of the earth], and a leathern girdle [the preparation that remained present in the dead carcass] about his loins; and his meat was locusts [his deep understanding devoured the devourers of all life on the earth] and wild honey [the strength found in the LORD’s systematic discourse, rightly ordered words, speaking and working unknown through Him].
5 Then went out to him [old and corrupt] Jerusalem [where the dead carcass remained], and all Judaea [the corrupt leaders], and all the region round about Jordan [where were the word that flowed to all and carried them in their descent into death],
6 And were baptized of him [cleansing them in the corrective discourse revealed in the same word that were before darkened] in Jordan, confessing their sins [harmatia – missing the mark aimed at, the destination journeyed toward, and, therefore, not reaching the prize, the expected end in the presence of the LORD revealed to our eyes].
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees [the religious, those who’ve scattered the body, and those who reject this resurrection] come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come [against those who refuse to obey the LORD’s commands?
8 Bring forth therefore [good] fruits meet for repentance [from the evil work done previously]:
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these [empty] stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the [corrupt] trees [whose fruit remains evil]: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire [this word as a sword from the mouth of the LORD].
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes [the mission on which the Father has sent him, and me, I Am, to finish the work and lead God’s people into all truth] I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with [this understanding by] the Holy Ghost [the Father in him first revealing Himself], and with fire [His all-consuming presence revealed]:
12 Whose fan is in his hand [in this work] and he will thoroughly purge [purify by threshing] his floor [of the worthless chaff], and gather his wheat [the good seed] into the garner [into His storehouse, where all these treasures were reserved for them]; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
13 Then comes Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh] from Galilee [the inner circle who don’t yet know it’s Him] to Jordan [the words that carried all into ignorance and death] unto John, to be baptized of him [removing the corruption that blinded men to the LORD’s presence in the flesh].
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of you, and come you to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness [the same blinding corruption must be removed from all, so all will see the Father who desires to dwell in our flesh]. Then he suffered him.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out [ascended above] of the water [of corruption]: and, lo, the heavens [the windows therein] were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove [the sign of the end reached], and lighting upon him:
17 And lo a voice [declaring him the first begotten in whom the Father’s presence is no longer concealed] from heaven [with full understanding], saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

It is this full understanding that is the “one thing” lacking in those who say they know the LORD: which is refusing the leadership of (the Father’s vested authority in) the son, thereby denying the Father and the son.

And they all say, “For what purpose should we obey?” To save the world, and more precisely, those receiving His teaching at the Father’s appearing in him (I Am).

There have been many so-called “revivals” in the past that have stopped evil’s advance. It is such a time we now find ourselves: when those leading it believe they’ve reached a time when they rest in the peace produced. This hearkens back to the now well-broadcast principle that “hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” These (this present moment) are those hard times.

The following (ending with 2 Peter 3) is the post from 23 March 2017 (of course: with today’s additions in double brackets).

Things tend toward degeneration, and without vigilance, constant maintenance, and reform, decline into total decay and finally destruction. So, now as a church and nation we stand at this precipice, having lacked the will and fortitude to perform the necessary periodic maintenance, without the strength to reform, choosing comfort and “peace,” thinking it is found in sloth and abandoning our natural instincts to fight, have opted instead to lay down in surrender and die a death by suicide. Even the strongest among us now has become as a woman, without strength, choosing the comfort in the arms of the same domestic enemies who pillaged our treasure, perverted all equity in judgment, as they destroyed all truth and rational discourse. These, our captors, use their power in government to force all into relying on its protection and provision, and have rendered inviable all other options. The end they have inevitably chosen for us is a self-inflicted collapse.

Of course, these same people seeing only from the perspective of their power think themselves immune to what they have inescapably inflicted on those they have led into this abyss. They, blinded as was Samson, realizing they have become captive of their own lacking and lust, have (seemingly) chosen to use their final remaining strength to pull the house down upon itself.

Friends, I have hoped we would reform, but I fear we (church and nation) have instead chosen the end we have here discussed many times – total collapse. The ship [[the wholly corrupt institutions of church and state governments]] will not make it through this [[will never again be the place relied upon to ensure strong men don’t rest, don’t produce weak men who produce hard times]]. There will be a remnant [[My tenth]] that will make it through, and they should [[but lack this aspect and, without foresight, don’t]] consider what will be built upon the rubble.

Thus says the LORD:

21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising [[remove the flesh covering the mind]] of the child, his name was called JESUS [Jehovah’s Salvation, His mind, revealed in the flesh]], which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb [[the belly of the earth, the hardest of times, here in hell]].
22 And when the days of her purification [[after forty days, the full course of the life-giving creature, the four faces, the LORD’s presence manifesting therein words and work, of the wheel Ezekiel saw as the LORD’s unfolding appearance]] according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to [[New Heavenly]] Jerusalem [[all God’s people who’ve reached this destination, for which they were predestined]], to present him to the LORD;
23 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that opens the womb [[is here and now born again by His work]] shall be called holy to the LORD;)
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the LORD, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon [those hearing/understanding [[now seeking rest in the expected end reached]]]; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation [[paraklesis, the work of the Paraclete, the LORD’s teaching, leading us into all truth, Who we see as he is, in the flesh, by this purification now accomplished]] of Israel: and the Holy Ghost [[the LORD unknown speaking and working until He reveals Himself in the son, and in His children who receive the son He sends]] was upon him.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the LORD’s Christ.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 LORD, now let you your servant depart in peace, according to your word:
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 Which you have prepared before the face of all people;
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles [[to give understanding to all who haven’t known the Father or His ways of sustainable peace, sustainable civilization, sustainable good times through strong men, who, as iron, vigilantly sharpening iron]], and the glory of [[your constant presence in and among ]] your people Israel.
33 And Joseph [those separated as divine provision] and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary [those rebelling against the corrupted establishment] his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall [[now ending the darkness]] and rising again [[with this life which is the life of the world]] of many in Israel [[those who receive Him, become His children, and reign with Him here on the earth]]; and for a sign which shall be spoken against [[as it now is by the corrupt powers who must be taken out of the way]];
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through your own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed [[as they know are laid bare by this word of the LORD]].
36 And there was one Anna [favored [[like Hannah, who brings forth those who will hear and obey the LORD’s voice]]], a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel [those seeing the face [[presence]] of God], of the tribe of Asher [those prospering honestly – happy (blessed) are they]: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fasting [[refuse the corrupt word of the wicked in power]] and prayer [[in this conversation with the LORD]] night and day.
38 And she coming [[ephistemi – standing upon His word]] in that instant [[hora – the hour of the LORD’s appearing to her sight]] gave thanks likewise unto the LORD, and [[opening her mouth as commanded]] spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption [[lutrosis – luo throchos, loosed in this course, in full circuit, in the wheel]] in [[New Havenly]] Jerusalem.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the LORD, they returned into Galilee [the inner circle], to their own city Nazareth [those separated for God’s purposes].
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong [[in thses hard times]] in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days [[in the belly of the earth]] they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 And when they [[realizing the LORD presence in Him]] saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why have you thus dealt with us? behold, your father and I have sought you sorrowing.
49 And he said unto them, How is it that you sought me? know you not that I must be about my Father’s business [[doing the work for which He’s sent me]]?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spoke unto them.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

This is the LORD telling us of the consolation that comes as we are being blessed with a child born, as the establishment, the corrupted nation, and church destroy themselves. Telling of this was also the prominent accusation against the LORD at His crucifixion, as it is again now, saying that he said, “I will destroy these, and in three days raise them up.” What he actually said was, what I am actually saying is, “You will (have by neglect) destroy these, and after three days I will (I am [[will]]) raise them up again.”

The aspect of those thinking they will use the same old destructive and corrupted ways to rebuild, even now that they know it [[rebuilding what they ruined]] is the only way, [[is them]] refusing to acknowledge they can’t use the same means that destroyed church and nation to raise it to life. Should the people look for life to the dead?

Isaiah 8 begins by speaking of the writer going into the prophetess [[as Anna above]] and she bearing a son named Maher-shalal-hash-baz, meaning hastes (instant) to the spoil, eagerly to the plunder. This is the original reference to what is said in Luke 2:36 above and the prophetess who comes to the LORD in that instant (verse 38) and speaks to all those looking for redemption [[that only comes by hearing and obeying]] in Jerusalem.

All of these facets are spoken of in Isaiah 7, 8 & 9, which were discussed in the prior post. This is the light sent into the darkness, that lights upon Israel [Luke 2:32 & Isaiah 9:8] – those who will see the face of God and rule with Him as He raises up His nation and church in righteousness. (Read the prior post.) [[https://wordxp.com/2017/03/21/invincibility-squandered-in-a-confederacy-rejecting-gods-advice/]]

Isaiah 9
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the light shined.
3 You have multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before you according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For you have broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this [[battle]] shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
8 The LORD sent a word into Jacob, and it has lighted upon Israel.
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim [[God’s people in this last generation, who, only when recieving Him and His blessing sent, become the first of the new]] and the inhabitant of Samaria [[worshipping idols men created, put in God’s place, and call by His name]], that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones [[the same corrupt and weak men they formed]]: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars [[other men they also cut down]].
11 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
12 The Syrians [[the communists]] before, and the Philistines [[the ivading army among us]] behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth [[their ways far from God’s, by which they consusme our life, liberty, and estate]]. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [[work of salvation]] is [[here]] stretched out still.
13 For the people turns not unto him that smites them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts [[I Am, a man a war among us]].
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
15 The ancient and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet [[those declaring their opinions are truth, delusions that mislead people into looking for an end, taught by false teachers among them, the leaven of corruption, which will never come, and missing the end at hand]] that teaches lies, he is the tail [[this end]].
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

Friends, those ignorant men who have led us into hell think this is some kind of game they can play, making up their own rules as they go. They have chosen their end. This isn’t a game, and they don’t make or change My rules.

Luke 2:32 above is quoted from Isaiah 42:6, not only telling of the LORD coming as a light to lighten the gentiles, but as a covenant to Israel. Isaiah goes on to end the chapter speaking of these men as those who, by rejecting the LORD’s advice, have set themselves on fire, and they don’t even know it. These are the same fires 2 Peter 3 speaks of. Again, as we have many times discussed, their corrupted thinking, the foundational ideas upon which these destroyers of the earth base their decisions and policy, are the “element” that melt away. We know the word there used to tell of the “elements,” that melt from the fires their corrupted ideas create, is stoicheion, meaning foundational principles. We are told there of our looking for a New Heaven, and New Earth, wherein dwells righteousness (truth and equitable justice).

When Luke 2:25 speaks of this as the “consolation” of Israel (the light to the Gentiles and the glory in Israel as the light lighted upon them) Luke uses the Greek word paraklesis, meaning the work of the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit (the one unseen and unknown – secreted name).

This word is used to perfectly describe what is waited for. It is translated as “exhortation” in Hebrew 12:5 to tell us what we have forgotten if we think this correction from the LORD is some strange thing.

It says, “5 And you have forgotten the exhortation [[paraklesis]] which speaks unto you as unto children, ‘My son, despise not you the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of him: 6 For whom the LORD loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.’”

This is a quote from Proverbs 3:11 & 12, and there we see the full context of the correction and the way of the LORD is creating His New Heaven and New Earth, wherein dwells righteousness.

Proverbs 3
1 My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to you.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the table of your heart:
4 So shall you find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to your navel, and marrow to your bones.
9 Honor the LORD with your substance, and with the first-fruits of all your increase:
10 So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.
13 Happy [blessed] is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retains her.
19 The LORD by wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding has he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 So shall they be life unto your soul, and grace to your neck.
23 Then shall you walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble.
24 When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes.
26 For the LORD shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being taken.
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
28 Say not unto your neighbor, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when you have it by you.
29 Devise not evil against your neighbor, seeing he dwells securely by you.
30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done you no harm.
31 Envy you not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32 For the forward [twisted or perverted [[truth]]] is abomination to the LORD: but his secret [[truth He protects and resevres, to be revealed against abomination men, by twisting and prevert truth, put in His place]] is with the righteous.
33 The curse [[this word]] of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he [[by this same word]] blesses the habitation of the just.
34 Surely he scorns the scorners: but he gives grace unto the lowly.
35 The wise shall inherit [[His]] glory: but shame [[not reaching the end they seek by their false proclamations: evil decrees]] shall be the promotion of fools.

Isaiah 42
1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect [[I and the children the LORD has given me, who are for signs and wonderd among His people]], in whom my soul delights [[becaus ethey have received Me, Father and son, and My correction]]; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. [[who haven’t known Me or My children]].
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench [[but trim it into a bright light]]: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles [[the dry place without this word of the LORD]] shall wait for his law.
5 Thus says God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; he that gives breath [[life from His mouth]] unto the people upon it [[bringing life from their mouths]], and [[His Spirit bringing life to the]] spirit to them that walk therein:
6 I the LORD have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a [[new]] covenant [[as spoken of in Jeremiah 31:33 & 34]] of the people, for a light of the Gentiles [[understanding given to be given to those in darkness]];
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and [[these]] new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10 Sing unto the LORD a new song [[this word as received from His mouth]], and his praise from the end of the [[old and corrupt]] earth, you that go down to the sea [[speaking this word to all humanity at large]], and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11 Let the wilderness [the desolate now therein purified]] and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar [[that were covered in darness]] does inhabit: let the inhabitants of the Rock [[in Christ]] sing, let them shout [[as my archangel, like the messenger I have have sent]] from the top of the mountains. [[My new government, of My resurrected church and state, on My new earth]].
12 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands [[who’ve beein without this word of God]].
13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar [[as the lion of Judah]]; he shall prevail against his enemies.
14 I have long time held my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, You are our gods.
18 Hear, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD’s servant?
20 Seeing many things [[as the LORD sees]], but you observe not [[the corruption of men]]; opening the ears, but he hears not [[obeys not their corruption]].
21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify [[gadal – make great]] the law, and make it honorable.
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivers [[natsal – none pluck them from these fires of hell]]; for a spoil, and none says, Restore [[shuwb – return to the LORD whose manfested His presence to save us]].
23 Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear [[shama’ – and obey]] for the time to come?
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient [[shama’]] unto his law.
25 Therefore he has poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it has set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.

2 Peter 3
1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the LORD and Savior:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [[apoleia – destruction that comes to those who enlessly wrestle with the word of God, because of what they think they know]] of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness [[ignorant that His seven days, and His three days and nights, in the furnace of hell, with us, in the belly of the earth, are the many thousands of years He’s been among us working, long-suffering our ignorance of Him, to save us from our self-destruction, by creating us in His image and now His likeness]]; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day [[this end when the this light has come]] of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens [[the corrupt understanding that is now falsely called truth]] shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [[stoicheion – the corrupt foundational thinking of this generation]] shall melt with fervent heat, the [[old and corrupt]] earth also and the [[corrupt]] works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day [[this time when light returns]] of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [[stoicheion]] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent [[seaching for Him]] that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [[apoleia – perdition]].
17 You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
18 But grow in grace [[this gift]], and in the knowledge of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen.

Isaiah 34
1 Come near, you nations, to hear [shama’ – obey]; and hearken, you people: let the earth hear [shama’ – obey], and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
2 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies [fighting against Him with their words of ignorance]: he has utterly destroyed them, he has delivered them to the slaughter [they are all dead flesh].
3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcasses [of dead flesh perceived], and the mountains [the institution of government, church and state, they have corrupted] shall be melted with their blood.
4 And all the host [this army] of heaven [the corrupt places where understanding should be] shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together [galal] as a scroll [their ignorance shall be silenced, like a stone rolled to cover their wells]: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree [and men shall no longer be fed their confusion].
5 For my sword [this word from the mouth of the LORD] shall be bathed in heaven [places where understanding should be found and isn’t]: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea [Esau, the enemies mixed among us], and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah [among His flock], and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
7 And the unicorns [the one power – all Babylon, all confusion’s rule] shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8 For it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.
9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch [burning fires of darkness].
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up forever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl [those who hunt souls in the darkness] also and the raven [those covered in darkness] shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion [tohuw – without form], and the stones of emptiness [bohuw – and void – as in Genesis 1:2].
12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
13 And thorns [misleaders] shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles [deceivers and destroyers overgrowing all life] in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be a habitation of dragons [those, as serpents and whales, who poison and devour with their ever-open mouths], and a court for owls [who hunt souls in the darkness].
14 The wild beasts of the desert [those without My Spirit in this time of desolation] shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island [those without My Spirit because they are without My word], and the satyr [sa’iyr – devils, as enemies before mixed among us] shall cry to [against] his fellow; the screech owl [speaking the word with which they hunt ignorant souls in the darkness] also shall rest [raga’ – suddenly be silenced] there, and find for herself a place of rest [manowach – this rest that comes when their words of death are no longer exalted and broadcasted from places where understanding and light, life, should be].
15 There shall the great owl [qippowz – only used here, meaning to contract, coil back to spring forward] make her nest [qanan – then shall they rise and become a place of those who know this end is reached], and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures [dayah – those who fly swiftly, those quickened into this full understanding] also be gathered, every one with her mate [ready to leave the belly of the ark, the belly of the earth, the belly of hell among those without the LORD’s Spirit].
16 Seek you out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it has commanded, and his spirit it has gathered [collected and assembled] them [to this expected end, calling all to join Him in His ONE BODY].
17 And he has cast the lot [gowral – predestined] for them, and his hand has [rightly] divided it unto them by line [upon line, precept upon precept]: they shall possess it forever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

Proverbs 16
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that has it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb [rightly ordered and systematically fit together], sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that labors [to do evil] labors for himself; for his mouth craves it of him.
27 An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A froward [twisting and perverting truth] man soweth strife: and a whisperer separates chief friends.
29 A violent man entices his neighbor, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
30 He shuts his eyes [to reality and truth] to devise froward things [twisting and perverting truth]: [and we know he is lying when] moving his lips he brings evil to pass.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rule his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33 The lot [gowral] is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing [misphat – verdict, the decreed end of judgment] thereof is of the LORD.

Psalms 81
1 Sing [this new song] aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon [His government upon the earth], in the time appointed [kece’ – only used elsewhere in Proverbs 7:20, there speaking of when the LORD left our sight, with Him took His treasures {keceph}, and of his return at the day “appointed,” speaking of it as when His treasures return], on our solemn feast day [in which He gives us this light: His treasures].
4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony [this word prepared for the children of His promise, who receive Him], when he went out through the land of Egypt [among our oppressors]: where I heard a language that I understood not.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
7 You called in trouble [tsarah – these hard times in this tribulation], and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder [this sound of the light]: I proved you at the waters of Meribah [strife and contention; when usurpers, with their bitter blasphemies, warred against Me and refused the leader I sent]. Selah.
8 Hear [shama’ – and obey], O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Israel, if you will hearken [shama’ – and obey] unto me;
9 There shall no strange god be in you; neither shall you worship any strange god.
10 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide [speak this word as received], and I will fill it.
11 But my people would not hearken to [shama’ – and obey] my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened [shama’ – and obeyed] unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
14 I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15 The haters of the LORD would have submitted themselves unto him: but their time would have endured forever.
16 He would have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the Rock would I have satisfied you.
