And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, says the LORD.
The LORD begins today in Jeremiah 49 (above is verse 38), a chapter describing what Ezekiel later sees as the unfolding presence of the LORD.
As we understand, he (Ezekiel), seeing as the LORD sees, depicts himself as one of the cherubims (in Ezekiel 10:14} above the mercy seat, face to face with (in Ezekiel 3:8 & 9 as he is sent to) those to whom, through him, the LORD sends His conversation, to give, in pure form, the understanding he’s received. This (process, full circuit) is the wheel within a wheel he describes, understanding sent, in the written word, to give the same understanding to the recipient. The end, when full understanding comes: when the LORD is realized therein present speaking and working, is the light returned, which recreates, awakens, those sleeping in death.
Ezekiel (in Ezekiel 1:10 as he receives his understanding and speaks of how it came to him) describes this full circuit (wheel) as having four “faces,” using the word paniym, meaning it is the LORD thereby manifesting His presence. The first face is of a man, Ezekiel (like the many writers before him), when he understands His mission, as did Jeremiah, whose name means Jehovah rising, in his flesh speaking and working, to raise His people. The next two faces (paniym) are of a lion, speaking with the LORD’s voice, heard roaring, and of an ox, the LORD working through him in the earth. The fourth face (paniym) is of an eagle, the LORD’s present with full understanding, exalted above all other voices, flying in the heavens, realized by the receivers who receive Him.
Later, he (Ezekiel in chapter 10, speaking of how he is sent) sees the four faces differently: the first as a cherub, the second a man, the third a lion, and the fourth an eagle.
In chapter 3, when He is first commanded to go, the LORD tells him He has made his forehead, against the foreheads of His rebellious people, as an “adamant” harder than flint.
Ezekiel 3
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken [shama’ – hear and obey] unto you; for they will not hearken [shama’ – hear and obey] unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
8 Behold, I have made your face [paniym – My presence in you] strong against their faces [paniym – the presence possessing them], and your forehead strong against their foreheads.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed [chatham] at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
The Hebrew word shamiyr, rendered adamant, is only used 11 times; all except three are in Isaiah, where it’s always rendered “brier.”
In these eight uses in Isaiah, we understand why God’s people refuse to hear the LORD’s voice: because (of deceivers and misleaders) they have the misperception he (Ezekiel) is a deceiver.
John 7
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceives the people.
The word shamiyr is from shamar, meaning “to hedge about (as with thorns), i.e. guard; generally, to protect, attend to, etc..”
Isaiah 5
5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall [protection] thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers [shamiyr – deceivers] and thorns [misleaders]: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it [no understanding will be sent from heaven to the earth].
Isaiah 10
17 And the light [understanding] of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns [misleaders] and his briers [shamiyr – deceivers] in one day [when light returns];
The other two uses of shamiyr (other than in Isaiah and Ezekiel) describe (as spoken of above) the process by which understanding leaves and finally, how light returns.
Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah [those leading God’s people] is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond [shamiyr – by deceivers]: it is graven upon the table of their heart [corrupting their minds], and upon the horns of your altars [their creations, the power by which they deceive];
2 While their children remember their altars [their creation] and their groves by the green trees [the men they made their idols] upon the high hills.
5 Thus says the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the Lord.
Zechariah 7
11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear [shama’ – and obey].
12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone [shamiyr – minds of deceivers], lest they should hear [shama’ – and obey] the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts has sent [as a wheel within a wheel] in his spirit by the former prophets [as described and demonstrated here by Him]: therefore came a great wrath [this word they refuse] from the LORD of hosts.
13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear [shama’]; so they cried, and I would not hear [shama’], says the LORD of hosts:
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind [by My Almighty Spirit, from where His voice IS heard and IS obeyed] among all the nations [who haven’t known Him] whom they knew not. Thus the land [‘erets – the earth] was desolate after them, that no man passed through [‘abar – none passed from death into life] nor returned [shuwn – turned to the present LORD, the living God]: for they laid the pleasant land [‘erets – earth] desolate.
In the passages below, as in almost all the LORD’s written word, proper names are strategic, describing identities related to this moment.
Jeremiah 49
1 Concerning the [ben – the sons of] Ammonites [those who’ve scattered the LORD one body], thus says the LORD [Jehovah – ya’ah havah: the breathing one to whom all things appertain, the Living God]; Has Israel [those who receive this promised end, who will now with Him reign on the earth] no sons [ben]? has he [Israel] no heir [to inherit the earth]? why then does their [the Ammonites’] king inherit Gad [the LORD’s army], and his people dwell in his cities?
2 Therefore, behold, the days [have] come, says the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of [rabab – the multitude of God people possessed by] the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap [as they are in the hand of these wicked men], and her daughters shall be burned with fire [caused by following the words and ways of the wicked]: then shall Israel be heir unto [possessing] them that were his heirs [his possessors], says the LORD.
3 Howl, O Heshbon [strongholds, by which they hold My people], for Ai [the heap of ruin, Ephraim {God’s people at large, in this generation}] is spoiled [devastated in your hand]: cry, you daughters of Rabbah [possessed by the wicked], gird you with sackcloth; lament [for this condition of which you are apparently ignorant], and run to and fro [seeking this understanding] by the hedges [the wall of the LORD’s protection]; for their king [the powers leading the totally corrupt civil government, infesting all its institution] shall go into captivity, and his priests [powers leading, infesting, all the corrupt churches] and his princes [these evil powers] together.
4 Wherefore glory you in the valleys [in these darkened deeps], your flowing valley [flowing darkness they call deep understanding], O backsliding daughter [in your endless fall away from the LORD and all truth]? that trusted in her treasures [the darkness, ignorance they teach and preach as the valued things of the dead earth], saying, Who shall come unto me [not know that for this thing the LORD promised he would visit, manifesting His presence as the Chief Overseer]?
5 Behold, I will bring a fear [cabiyb – as in verse 29 below] upon you, says the LORD God of hosts, from all those [the wicked] that be about you; and you shall be driven out [nadach – become outcast in the world, and I will call you Zion] every man right forth [paniym – by My unfolding presence]; and none shall gather up him that wanders.
6 And afterward [after this full circuit] I will bring again the captivity of the children of [possessed by] Ammon, says the LORD.
7 Concerning Edom [the enemies mixed among us, claiming they are our brethren at peace with us, while they openly war against God, us, and His better culture], thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war, Chief of the army of heaven]; Is wisdom no more in Teman [the places where this understanding should be found]? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished? [The answer is, seeing as the LORD sees, it absolutely has, from these places, perished and vanished.]
8 Flee you [from the ignorant misleading you], turn back [to the LORD], dwell deep [in this place of the LORD’s light], O inhabitants of Dedan [upon whom this double judgment, against the institutions of church and state, has come]; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him [Edom, removing the birthright as with Esau, because of His bitterness against His brother], the time that I will visit him [paqad – as a man, the Chief Overseer of the earth manifested, the first face of the wheel].
9 If grape gatherers come to you [My people], would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night [as I have into your ignorance, as a man], they will destroy till they have enough.
10 But I have made Esau bare [removing their cover {in this apocalypse}, all the lies and falsehood under which they think they hide], I have uncovered [galah – revealed, in the Apocalypse {Revelation}] his secret places [referring to Obadiah 1:6, saying “How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!”], and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbors, and he [all the enemies mixed among us at war with us] is not.
11 Leave your fatherless children, I will [by this understanding and light] preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.
12 For thus says the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup [which I have here given] have assuredly drunken; and are you he that shall altogether go unpunished [naqah – will I not make you clean, remove corruption from your understanding and judgment]? you shall not go unpunished [naqah – uncleaned], but you shall surely drink of it [and thereby this word will effectually work in your mind to bring this change: when the corrupt put on incorruption].
13 For I have sworn by myself, says the LORD, that Bozrah [the stronghold of corruption] shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
14 I have heard a rumor [shmuw’ah – the voice of Jehovah heard, but not yet verified] from the LORD, and an ambassador [tsiyr – a man whose voice is the birth pains preceding the One to come] is sent unto the heathen [those not knowing the LORD, and therefore not knowing His voice], saying, Gather you together [again into MY ONE BODY], and come against her [the wicked], and rise up [with Me] to the battle.
15 For, lo, I will make you [the fatherless children of the righteous and the wicked] small among the heathen [who haven’t known me], and despised among men.
16 Your terribleness [tipheltseth – the corruption you put on] has deceived you, and the pride of your heart [the proud waves, pride of your minds, trusting in the corrupt words that carried all into death and hell], O you that dwellest in the clefts of the rock [from where corruption flows, men as idols in which you put your trust], that holdest the height of the hill: though you shouldest make your nest as high as the eagle [as if you have risen there by full understanding], I will bring you down from thence, says the LORD.
17 Also Edom [the unrepentant enemies among us at war with us] shall be a desolation: every one that goes by it [‘abar – from it rises out of death into life] shall be astonished [by the power of the LORD to raise them from there], and shall hiss at [draw attention to] all the plagues thereof.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up [‘alah – rise in the flesh of a man] like [the second face of the wheel] a lion from [roaring against] the swelling [pride] of Jordan [the words that carry all in the descent into death and hell] [the LORD roaring] against the habitation of the strong [the wicked in power]: but I will suddenly make him [the wicked] run away from her [God’s people He releases from their possession]: and who is a chosen man [from whom I roar as a lion], that I may appoint [paqad – as the Chief Overseer] over her? for who is like me [created in My image]? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd [ra’ah – seer seeing as I see] that will stand [‘amad] before me [paniym – in My presence manifesting my presence]?
20 Therefore hear [shama’ – obey] the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes [machashabah], that he has purposed [chashab – as in verse 30 below] against the inhabitants of Teman [the places where the wise and prudent are in darkness: in ignorance]: Surely the least of the flock [I Am as an ox {the third face of the wheel} doing His work – of the least value in man’s eyes] shall draw them out [the wicked into this light]: surely he shall make [by His quick work upon the earth] their habitations desolate with them.
21 The earth is moved [ra’ash – the shaking that brings the dead bones together, as in Ezekiel 37:7 where it’s an identical word] at the noise of [qowl – by the LORD’s voice, effectually working to bring] their fall, at the cry the noise [qowl – the LORD’s voice roaring] thereof was heard in the Red [reed, referring to the papyrus upon which the written word comes to humanity] sea [the termination point of the proud waves].
22 Behold [when we see this is the word of the LORD manifesting His presence], he shall come up [‘alah – rise in the flesh of a man in whom His word is exalted, lifted above all] and fly [in the strength of His full understanding given and received] as the eagle [the fourth face of the wheel], and spread his wings [this voice moving His people] over Bozrah [against the stronghold of the wicked]: and at that day [this time of light] shall the heart [minds] of the mighty men of Edom [leading the enemies] be as the heart [mind] of a woman in her pangs [having to idea they are bringing forth the LORD’s ONE united BODY].
23 Concerning Damascus [God’s people who’ve been silent and in sorrow], Hamath [the stronghold, the powers holding them therein] is confounded [buwsh – ashamed and disappointed by not reaching the end they seek: not able to destroy all humanity], and Arpad [spread out: this exposition in the firmament is laid before them]: for they have heard [shama’ – obeyed, and decreed] evil [ra’] tidings [shmuw’ah – against this voice of the LORD, the report by which His arm, work, is revealed]: they are fainthearted [muwg – their evil decrees and their wicked institutions are dissolved]; there is sorrow [d’agah – this is the agitation, the storm, caused by the whale, the open mouths of the wicked, that swallows men into death and hell] on the sea [against all humanity]; it [the evil voices] cannot be quiet [refuse to be silenced].
24 Damascus [the LORD’s silent people] is waxed feeble, and turns herself [from Him] to flee [as did Jonah], and fear [of the storm] has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her [swallowing her into the belly of death and hell], as a woman in travail [needing the bring forth her child, the ONE BODY from the belly of the tanniyn: men, as whales and serpents, dragons who with open mouths devoured them].
25 How is the city of praise not left [‘azab – not loosed from death and hell], the city of my joy [that should by now realized My presence with them, even here in hell]!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall [of lies and falsehood] of Damascus [holding them in silence and sorrow], and it shall consume [‘akal – eat, swallow, devour] the palaces of Benhadad [the sons of the mighty in power].
28 Concerning Kedar [the darkness that still covers the earth], and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor [the tower, from where ignorance reigns], which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of the false prophet, which have ruled the earth in to confusion now turned insanity] shall smite, thus says the LORD; Arise you [quwm], go up to [‘alah – be lifted from] Kedar [the darkness: ignorance], and spoil the men [ben – sons] of the east [qedem – the ancient, the wicked who’ve been brought here for judgment].
29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear [cabiyb] is on every side [as in verse 5 above, when the LORD has visited as the Chief Overseer of the earth].
30 Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O you inhabitants of Hazor [the tower, from where ignorance reigns], says the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of your false prophets that have brought the world to desolation] has taken counsel against you, and has conceived [chashab – as in verse 20 above, when all the wise are found to be ignorant] a purpose [machashabah – ma-chashab-ah: what purpose of Jehovah] against you [to send all humanity to this time of His righteous judgment].
31 Arise [quwm], get you up [‘alah – rise with me in the flesh] unto the wealthy [shelve – in worldly prosperity quieted] nation [gowy – who no longer know Me] that dwell without care [thinking you are secure], says the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars [to keep out the devourers], which dwell alone [separated from Me and My ONE BODY, mocking my flesh because they say they are holier than I Am].
32 And their camels shall be a booty [baz – plunder, carried away], and the multitude of their cattle [miqneh – your property] a spoil [shalal – also the plunder of war against you]: and I will scatter [as you are now scattered from Me] into all winds [seducing spirits, the false doctrine and evil decrees by which the communists in power in church and state, now rule] them that are in the utmost [qatsats – cut off from me by] corners [pe’ah – mouth, the word of the wicked, as Moab, men who now possess and hold you in hell]; and I will bring their calamity [‘eyd – see its other uses below] from all sides thereof, says the LORD.
33 And Hazor [the tower, from where ignorance reigns] shall be a dwelling for dragons [tanniyn – men as whales and serpents devouring with their wide open mouths], and a desolation forever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.
34 The word of the LORD that came [hayah – exists] to [with] Jeremiah [Jehovah rising to raise His people] the prophet [speaking My words] against Elam [all souls throughout eternity, predestined to this moment, in the flesh here and now] in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah [Jehovah’s righteousness] king of Judah [here and now with and in His elect remnant], saying,
35 Thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war, commanding His army]; Behold [see], I will break [shabar – separate into pieces, the elements of understanding] the bow [qasheth – the sign in the cloud] of Elam [and bring them with Me throughout eternity], the chief of [ra’shiyth – the first principles, beginning] their might [gbuwrah – strength returning with Me].
36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds [the fours faces of my presence manifested] from the four quarters [qatsah – the termination, the full circuit] of heaven [returning full understanding], and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation [no people who haven’t known me] whither the outcasts [nadach – God’s people in this generation, whom He calls Zion; referring to its use in Jeremiah 30:17 and verse 5 above] of Elam shall not come [with this understanding they shine upon all].
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed [chathath – confused and in fear, by his separated elements: ignorance] before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger [in this word], says the LORD; and I will send the sword after them [this word against those who reject it], till I have consumed [kalah – this decreed and determined end, as in Daniel 12:7 and Isaiah 10:18 & 25] them:
38 And I will set my throne in Elam [here on and over the earth among all My immortals], and will destroy from thence the king and the princes [the evil misleaders, tyrants oppressing humanity, as thorns in their sides and pricks in their eyes], says the LORD.
39 But it shall come to pass [hayah – come into existence] in the latter days [‘achariyth – this end of darkness], that I will bring again the captivity [shbuwth – a state of prosperity and security under God] of Elam [all those who receive Me], says the LORD.
Daniel 12
1 And at that time shall Michael [who is like God] stand up [‘amad], the great prince which stands [‘amad] for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – this time of 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 [the ashes of the ruin] of the earth shall awake [be resurrected from death into life], some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [zahar – shall teach and enlighten] as the brightness of the firmament [this exposition]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel [judgment of God], shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets]: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge [da’ath – the knowledge of the LORD that now fills the earth – as in Habakkuk 2:14, saying “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge {da’ath} of the glory of the LORD, as the waters {His word} cover {in peace and safety} the sea.”] shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river [sending this word], and the other on that side of the bank of the river [receiving this word].
6 And one said to the man [I Am] clothed in linen, which was upon [Chief Overseer over] the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
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 this congregation, gathering into ONE BODY], and an half [this rightly dividing, knowing, this time]; and when he shall have accomplished [kalah] to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished [kalah].
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my LORD, what shall be the end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness: ignorance] of these things?
9 And he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed [and there shall be no understanding, and confusion shall reign] till the time of the end [qets].
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand [this time].
Isaiah 2
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days [‘achariyth], that the mountain [government] of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains [over and above all governments], and shall be exalted above the hills [the high places of the earth]; and all nations [who haven’t known Him] shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion [His government] shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [His people at large].
4 And he shall judge among the nations [those who haven’t known Him], and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob [still wrestling with Him unknown], come you, and let us walk in the light [understanding] of the LORD.
Isaiah 10
16 Therefore shall the LORD, the LORD of hosts [a man of war – see Exodus 15:3], send among his fat [prospering] ones leanness [and their corrupt understanding shall be cleansed], and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire [in which they are refined].
17 And the light [understanding, strength, now returned] of Israel [those who receive this promised end and will rule with Me over and above the earth] shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns [misleader] and his briers [shamiyr – deceivers] in one day;
18 And shall consume [kalah] the glory of his forest [the falsely so-called upright men], and of his fruitful field [the wickedness in which they’ve prospered], both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer [of wickedness and evil] faints.
19 And the rest of the trees [the upright] of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the [elect] remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay [rely] upon him [the wicked powers of the earth] that smote them; but shall stay [rely] upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The [elect] remnant shall return [to their right minds], even the [elect] remnant of Jacob [who were before, in ignorance, wrestling with the LORD unknown], unto the mighty God [they shall return].
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed [charats] shall overflow with righteousness.
23 For the LORD God of hosts shall make a consumption [kalah], even determined [charats], in the midst of all the land [‘erets – the earth].
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian [the communist now in power]: he shall smite you with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt [tyrannically oppressing].
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation [za’am] shall cease [kalah], and my anger in their destruction.
Jeremiah 30
16 Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon you will I give for a prey.
17 For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.
18 Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish [paqad – visit as the Chief Overseer of the earth] all that oppress them.
21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart [mind] to approach unto me? says the LORD.
22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Behold, the whirlwind [from where this voice] of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has done it, and until he has performed the intents of his heart [mind]: in the latter [‘achariyth] days you shall consider [biyn – understand] it.
Jeremiah 48
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab [whose mouth are the gates holding all the world in death and hell], says the LORD, him that offers [evil, misleading, words] in the high places, and him that burn incense to his gods [worshipping men as idols put in God’s place].
36 Therefore my heart [mind] shall sound for [hamah – roar and war against] Moab like pipes [chaliyl – to dissolve their words and break their strong hold], and my heart [mind] shall sound [hamah – roar and war] like pipes [chaliyl – to dissolve their words and break their strong hold] for the men of Kirheres [wall of potsherds; earthly understanding, elements broken in pieces and become worthless lies]: because the riches [the understanding they were given] that he has gotten have perished [in their hands].
37 For every head shall be bald [all the understanding, knowledge, that was formed in his head has perished], and everybeard clipped [all the same knowledge that once came from their mouths has also perished]: upon all the hands [their works of ignorance] shall be cuttings [gduwdah – pressing out any remaining knowledge], and upon the loins sackcloth [sorrow come from this condition, not holding any water: without understanding from the word of God].
38 There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel [into potsherd] wherein is no pleasure [because it holds no water], says the LORD.
39 They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down [chathath – into separated elements]! how has Moab turned the back with shame [unable to reach the end they promised]! so shall Moab [these men as the gates of hell] be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him [cabiyb – all those who’ve followed them into the conclusion, completion, of their circuit, ending held in hell].
40 For thus says the LORD; Behold, he [the LORD sending me to the rescue] shall fly as an eagle [the culmination in perfection, strength returned], and shall spread his wings [this voice of the LORD, heard and exalted] over Moab [over the mouths of that are the gates of hell].
41 Kerioth [qarah – upon whom this time of My threshing has come unknown] is taken [lakad – are caught in this trap laid], and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men’s hearts [minds] in Moab at that day shall be as the heart [mind] of a woman in her pangs [not knowing they have brought forth a man child, the LORD to the rescue of His people, raising His ONE BODY into life].
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself [exalting their lies] against the LORD.
43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD.
44 He that flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation [pquddah – this time of the LORD, Chief Overseer, Commander, of the earth], says the LORD.
45 They that fled [from this visitation] stood under the shadow of [ignorantly thinking they could block out and hide from the light] Heshbon [in their stronghold of lies] because of the force [koach – the strength of the Almighty]: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon [the lies in which they trust], and a flame from the midst of Sihon [those warring against the LORD], and shall devour the corner [pe’ah – the mouths] of Moab [the gates of hell], and [the fire and flame shall remove] the crown of the head of the tumultuous [sha’own – uproar, roaring wave against the roaring Lion] ones [warring against the LORD].
46 Woe be unto you, O Moab! the people of Chemosh [the subduers of God’s people] perishes: for your sons are taken captives, and your daughters captives.
47 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter [‘achariyth] days, says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
Jeremiah 25
30 Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout [the voice of His archangel, His messenger in the flesh, which is the last trumpet sounding], as they that tread the grapes [in this harvest, this judgment], against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise [sha’own] shall come even to the ends [ending the old and beginning the new] of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy [asking who is more suited to rule the earth, its Creator or those destroying it] with the nations [who haven’t known Him], he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword [this word they refuse], says the LORD.
32 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind [from where this voice is heard] shall be raised up [against the evil] from the coasts of [limit, where the proud ways of the wicked are stopped upon] the earth.
33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end [of the old] of the earth even unto the other end of [beginning] the [new] earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung [animated dead flesh] upon the ground.
34 Howl, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, you principal of the flock: for the days [this time of light returned] of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and you shall fall like a pleasant vessel [become worthless because it holds no water].
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD has spoiled their pasture.
37 And the peaceable [completed in death] habitations are cut down [damam – in silence, “to be dumb; by implication, to be astonished, to stop; also to perish”] because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
38 He has forsaken his covert [the place where they hid His presence, in the false churches of those who haven’t known Him], as the lion [roaring]: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce. anger.
Jeremiah 18
15 Because my people has forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity [worshipped worthless idols they put in My place and call by My name], and they have caused them to stumble in their [corrupt] ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up [not exalting the word of the LORD, which is His high way];
16 To make their land [‘erets – the earth] desolate, and a perpetual hissing [their voices drawing attention to their desolation]; every one that passes [‘abar – from them into life] thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head [in disbelief they are continuing in self-destruction].
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back [My work after it is complete], and not the face [paniym – not My presence while I Am working among them unknown], in the day of their calamity [‘eyd].
18 Then said they, “Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah [Jehovah rising {in the flesh} to raise His people]; for the law shall not perish from the [corrupt] priest, nor counsel from the [corrupt] wise, nor the word from the [corrupt] prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue [kill him with our words as we, the corrupt, have killed all others], and let us not give heed to any of his words.”
19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood [‘amad – I Am risen] before you [paniym – in Your presence manifested] to speak good for them, and to turn away your wrath from them [that hear and obey Your voice].
21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine [so they no longer are fed their corruption], and pour out [your teaching] their blood [against their teaching that is draining life from them] by the force [hand – Your work] of the sword [this word they refuse]; and let their wives [teaching corruption] be bereaved of their children, and be widows [without the providers of corruption]; and let their men [the providers] be put to death [understood to be the dead]; let their young men be slain by the sword [this word of the LORD] in battle [warring against Him].
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you shall bring a troop [your risen army] suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me [into which they have fallen], and hid snares for my feet [into which they are fallen and snared].
23 Yet, LORD, you know all their counsel against me to slay me [with their words]: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your sight, but let them be overthrown before you [paniym – by Your presence manifested with us, in us]; deal thus with them in the time of your anger.
Proverbs 6
15 Therefore shall his calamity [‘eyd] come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16 These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaks lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
20 My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:
21 Bind them continually upon your heart [in your mind], and tie them about your neck [where they are readied to be spoken].
22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you.
23 For the commandment is a lamp [showing you the way]; and [in] the law is light [understanding]; and reproofs [correction] of instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep you from the evil woman [the seducers in church and state], from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman [strayed from the LORD].
Obadiah 1
1 The vision of Obadiah [the servant of Jehovah]. Thus says the LORD God concerning Edom [the enemies mixed among us at war with us]; We have heard a rumor [shmuw’ah – heard the voice] from the LORD, and an ambassador [tsiyr – the voice of Jehovah] is sent among the heathen [those who don’t know the LORD], Arise you, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 Behold [see], I have made you [Jacob – God’s people still wrestling with Him and His voice from His messenger] small [qatan] among the heathen [those who don’t know me]: you are greatly despised.
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you that dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high [all the place of teachers and leaders]; that says in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 Though you exalt yourself as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, thence will I bring you down, says the LORD.
5 If thieves came to you, if robbers by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave some grapes?
6 How are the things of Esau [the enemies among us in power] searched out! how are his hidden things sought up [ba’ah – a five times used word referring us to its other four uses, all in Isaiah below]!
7 All the men of your confederacy [joining with communists and God haters] have brought you even to the border [this limit, your end]: the men that were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you; they that eat your bread have laid a wound under you: there is none understanding in him.
8 Shall I not in that day, says the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom [the enemies in power], and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 And your mighty men, O Teman [the places where understanding should be found], shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10 For your violence against your brother Jacob shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever.
11 In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates [crossed our borders], and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even you were as one of them.
12 But you shouldest not have looked on the day of your brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest you have rejoiced over the children of Judah [the leaders of My people] in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest you have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
13 You shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity [‘eyd]; yea, you shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity [‘eyd], nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity [‘eyd];
14 Neither shouldest you have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest you have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as you have done, it shall be done unto you: your reward shall return upon your own head.
16 For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph [Ephraim] a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD has spoken it.
19 And they of the south [in whom My power is revealed] shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines [Palestinians – the enemy army now among us plainly seen]: and they [the men of the south] shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead [those who become My right hand shall possess this mountain of My testimony].
20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel [the LORD’s people, His army, returned to their right mind] shall possess that of the Canaanites [those zealously evil, fighting against God and His people], even unto Zarephath [when this is realized to be the refining fire]; and the captivity of [in which minds return to the LORD, in New Heavenly] Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad [among those who were before separated from Him], [and they] shall possess the cities of the south [where His power appears to those looking to His light].
21 And saviors [the ONE BODY of Christ] shall come up on mount Zion [the LORD’s government] to judge the mount of [the rulers, government possessed by] Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.
Isaiah 21
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and anoint the shield.
6 For thus has the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion [‘ariy – the body of Christ rising by/with His strength]: My LORD, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I Am set in my ward whole nights:
9 And, behold, here comes a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon [confusion’s rule] is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he has broken unto the ground.
10 O my threshing [opening the word, referring us to Isaiah 28, and destroying the gates of hell], and the corn [ben – sons] of my [threshing] floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
11 The burden of Dumah [short for Edom {Esau} and meaning the silencing of the enemies in our midst – as in verse 2]. He called to me out of [away from] Seir [the high places of Esau, devils misleading the flock], Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night [the time of ignorance, which is caused by their {Edom’s} words]?
12 The watchman said, The morning [understanding coming as the light of the sunrise] comes, and also the night [and these men will reject this word and choose to remain in ignorance]: if you will enquire [ba’ah], enquire you [ba’ah – only used three other times – here referring us back to Obadiah, verse 6, where it is rendered “sought up,” which tells us this is how the secret things of Esau are revealed {by enquiring}]: return [shuwb – turn us], come.
Isaiah 30
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear [shama’ – and obey] the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers [ra’ah], See [ra’ah] not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits [as do the false prophets]:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One [the son of man in whom the LORD is unknown speaking and working] of Israel to cease from before us [paniym – cease from manifesting the LORD’s presence with us].
12 Wherefore thus says the Holy One [the son of man, the LORD unknown in the flesh of His chosen] of Israel, Because you despise this word [wherein the Father’s presence is manifested], and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore, this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out [ba’ah – inquiring, seeking out the inequity] in a high wall [the lie of those power], whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ [earthen] vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit [wherein they are fallen and snared].
15 For thus says the LORD God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning [shuwbah – only used here, meaning in returning to Jehovah] and rest [nachath – in his light] shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.
16 But you said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at [paniym – the presence of the LORD manifested in] the rebuke of one; at [paniym – at the presence of the LORD manifested in] the rebuke of five shall you flee: till you [as the LORD’s saviors] be left as a beacon [of light] upon the top of a mountain [the LORD’s government], and as an ensign [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted, so the LORD’s word is exalted above all others, as Moses lifted the fiery serpent in the wilderness] on a hill.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious [finish His work, perfecting us with His gift of full understanding] unto you, and therefore will he be exalted [as an eagle], that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him [to finish His work].
29 You shall have a song [this word in your mouth, repeated as received], as in the night [this time of darkness: ignorance] when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe [chaliyl – to dissolve the words of the wicked, the gates of hell, and break their strong hold] to come into the mountain [the government] of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard [shama’ – and obeyed], and shall show the lighting [understanding] down [nachath] of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones [this word reserved in heaven for the time of war].
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian [communist] be beaten down [chathath – become confused and in fear, by their chosen ignorance], which smote with a rod.
Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would rend the heavens, that you would come down [as a man], that the mountains might flow down [melt] at your presence [paniym],
2 As when [as a lion roaring] the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil [ba’ah – inquiring, that inequity is searched out], to make your name [identity] known to your adversaries, that the nations [who haven’t known You] may tremble at your presence [paniym]!
3 When [as an ox working] you did terrible [yare’ – fearful] things which we looked not for, you came down, the mountains flowed down at your presence [paniym].
4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, beside you, what he has prepared for him that wait for him [to complete His work, strengthening us, and raising us on His wings as an eagle].
5 You meet him that rejoices [realized this is Your presence manifested] and [made in Your likeness] works righteousness, those that remember you in your ways: behold, you are wroth; for we have sinned: in those [recognizing You and Your way] is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses [all the thing we think we know are right] are as filthy rags [‘ed]; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away [from continuing with You].
7 And there is none that calls upon your name, that stirs up himself to take hold of you: for you have hid your face [paniym – presence] from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 But now, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity forever: behold, see, we beseech you, we are all your people.
10 Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion [Your government] is a wilderness, Jerusalem [Your people] a desolation.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12 Will you refrain yourself [not reproduce us in Your image] for these things, O LORD? will you hold your peace [not cause Your word to be heard from us], and afflict us very sore [not cause us to rise with Your rising]?
Proverbs 1
10 My son, if sinners entice you, consent you not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave [sheol – hell]; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast [your vote] in your lot among us; [as communists saying] let us [through the force of government] all have one purse:
15 My son, walk not you in the way with them; refrain your foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird [the trap of their evil ways is worthless to catch those who understand it].
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:
21 She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utter her words, saying,
22 How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold [see], I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But you have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity [‘eyd]; I will mock when your fear [pachad] comes;
27 When your fear [pachad] comes as desolation, and your destruction [‘eyd] comes as a whirlwind [My Almighty Spirit working and speaking]; when distress and anguish comes upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD [the decision by which men condemn themselves]:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore [by choice] shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple [from the present LORD] shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkens [shama’ – hears and obeys] unto me shall dwell safely [betach], and shall be quiet [sha’an – be at peace] from fear [pachad] of evil.
Proverbs 3
12 For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delight.
13 Happy is the man that finds [this] wisdom, and the man that gets [this] 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 [of understanding] are broken up, and the clouds [where understanding, when it leaves the earth, is held in separated elements, there reserved for this time of war] drop down the dew [the elements reassembled into His word and are from heaven sent to the earth again].
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 [this gift in us waiting to be spoken].
23 Then shall you walk in your way safely [betach], and your foot shall not stumble.
24 When you lay down, you shall not be afraid [pachad]: yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.
25 Be not afraid [yare’] of sudden fear [pachad], 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 [this word of God] from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
Isaiah 40
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things, that brings out their host by number: he calls them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one fails.
27 Why sayest you, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over [‘abar – the way by which He brings us from death into life, is hid] from my God?
28 Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new], faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He gives power [koach] to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD [to finish His work] shall renew their strength [koach]; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation 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.
Isaiah 28
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone [of My new government], a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste [to flee away in shame].
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail [this word reserved in heaven, sent in this time of war, against the current corrupt crop of leaders] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – shama’ Jehovah, the vexation is to understand this is His voice, and hearing Him, obey His commands].
And to those who do hear Him, “you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the [New] Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [His messengers speaking His message],”
Hebrews 12
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks [here] from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things [the blinding corruption] that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
25 – 27 July 2024
And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, says the LORD.
The LORD begins today in Jeremiah 49 (above is verse 38), a chapter describing what Ezekiel later sees as the unfolding presence of the LORD.
As we understand, he (Ezekiel), seeing as the LORD sees, depicts himself as one of the cherubims (in Ezekiel 10:14} above the mercy seat, face to face with (in Ezekiel 3:8 & 9 as he is sent to) those to whom, through him, the LORD sends His conversation, to give, in pure form, the understanding he’s received. This (process, full circuit) is the wheel within a wheel he describes, understanding sent, in the written word, to give the same understanding to the recipient. The end, when full understanding comes: when the LORD is realized therein present speaking and working, is the light returned, which recreates, awakens, those sleeping in death.
Ezekiel (in Ezekiel 1:10 as he receives his understanding and speaks of how it came to him) describes this full circuit (wheel) as having four “faces,” using the word paniym, meaning it is the LORD thereby manifesting His presence. The first face is of a man, Ezekiel (like the many writers before him), when he understands His mission, as did Jeremiah, whose name means Jehovah rising, in his flesh speaking and working, to raise His people. The next two faces (paniym) are of a lion, speaking with the LORD’s voice, heard roaring, and of an ox, the LORD working through him in the earth. The fourth face (paniym) is of an eagle, the LORD’s present with full understanding, exalted above all other voices, flying in the heavens, realized by the receivers who receive Him.
Later, he (Ezekiel in chapter 10, speaking of how he is sent) sees the four faces differently: the first as a cherub, the second a man, the third a lion, and the fourth an eagle.
In chapter 3, when He is first commanded to go, the LORD tells him He has made his forehead, against the foreheads of His rebellious people, as an “adamant” harder than flint.
Ezekiel 3
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken [shama’ – hear and obey] unto you; for they will not hearken [shama’ – hear and obey] unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
8 Behold, I have made your face [paniym – My presence in you] strong against their faces [paniym – the presence possessing them], and your forehead strong against their foreheads.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed [chatham] at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
The Hebrew word shamiyr, rendered adamant, is only used 11 times; all except three are in Isaiah, where it’s always rendered “brier.”
In these eight uses in Isaiah, we understand why God’s people refuse to hear the LORD’s voice: because (of deceivers and misleaders) they have the misperception he (Ezekiel) is a deceiver.
John 7
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceives the people.
The word shamiyr is from shamar, meaning “to hedge about (as with thorns), i.e. guard; generally, to protect, attend to, etc..”
Isaiah 5
5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall [protection] thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers [shamiyr – deceivers] and thorns [misleaders]: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it [no understanding will be sent from heaven to the earth].
Isaiah 10
17 And the light [understanding] of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns [misleaders] and his briers [shamiyr – deceivers] in one day [when light returns];
The other two uses of shamiyr (other than in Isaiah and Ezekiel) describe (as spoken of above) the process by which understanding leaves and finally, how light returns.
Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah [those leading God’s people] is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond [shamiyr – by deceivers]: it is graven upon the table of their heart [corrupting their minds], and upon the horns of your altars [their creations, the power by which they deceive];
2 While their children remember their altars [their creation] and their groves by the green trees [the men they made their idols] upon the high hills.
5 Thus says the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the Lord.
Zechariah 7
11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear [shama’ – and obey].
12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone [shamiyr – minds of deceivers], lest they should hear [shama’ – and obey] the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts has sent [as a wheel within a wheel] in his spirit by the former prophets [as described and demonstrated here by Him]: therefore came a great wrath [this word they refuse] from the LORD of hosts.
13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear [shama’]; so they cried, and I would not hear [shama’], says the LORD of hosts:
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind [by My Almighty Spirit, from where His voice IS heard and IS obeyed] among all the nations [who haven’t known Him] whom they knew not. Thus the land [‘erets – the earth] was desolate after them, that no man passed through [‘abar – none passed from death into life] nor returned [shuwn – turned to the present LORD, the living God]: for they laid the pleasant land [‘erets – earth] desolate.
In the passages below, as in almost all the LORD’s written word, proper names are strategic, describing identities related to this moment.
Jeremiah 49
1 Concerning the [ben – the sons of] Ammonites [those who’ve scattered the LORD one body], thus says the LORD [Jehovah – ya’ah havah: the breathing one to whom all things appertain, the Living God]; Has Israel [those who receive this promised end, who will now with Him reign on the earth] no sons [ben]? has he [Israel] no heir [to inherit the earth]? why then does their [the Ammonites’] king inherit Gad [the LORD’s army], and his people dwell in his cities?
2 Therefore, behold, the days [have] come, says the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of [rabab – the multitude of God people possessed by] the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap [as they are in the hand of these wicked men], and her daughters shall be burned with fire [caused by following the words and ways of the wicked]: then shall Israel be heir unto [possessing] them that were his heirs [his possessors], says the LORD.
3 Howl, O Heshbon [strongholds, by which they hold My people], for Ai [the heap of ruin, Ephraim {God’s people at large, in this generation}] is spoiled [devastated in your hand]: cry, you daughters of Rabbah [possessed by the wicked], gird you with sackcloth; lament [for this condition of which you are apparently ignorant], and run to and fro [seeking this understanding] by the hedges [the wall of the LORD’s protection]; for their king [the powers leading the totally corrupt civil government, infesting all its institution] shall go into captivity, and his priests [powers leading, infesting, all the corrupt churches] and his princes [these evil powers] together.
4 Wherefore glory you in the valleys [in these darkened deeps], your flowing valley [flowing darkness they call deep understanding], O backsliding daughter [in your endless fall away from the LORD and all truth]? that trusted in her treasures [the darkness, ignorance they teach and preach as the valued things of the dead earth], saying, Who shall come unto me [not know that for this thing the LORD promised he would visit, manifesting His presence as the Chief Overseer]?
5 Behold, I will bring a fear [cabiyb – as in verse 29 below] upon you, says the LORD God of hosts, from all those [the wicked] that be about you; and you shall be driven out [nadach – become outcast in the world, and I will call you Zion] every man right forth [paniym – by My unfolding presence]; and none shall gather up him that wanders.
6 And afterward [after this full circuit] I will bring again the captivity of the children of [possessed by] Ammon, says the LORD.
7 Concerning Edom [the enemies mixed among us, claiming they are our brethren at peace with us, while they openly war against God, us, and His better culture], thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war, Chief of the army of heaven]; Is wisdom no more in Teman [the places where this understanding should be found]? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished? [The answer is, seeing as the LORD sees, it absolutely has, from these places, perished and vanished.]
8 Flee you [from the ignorant misleading you], turn back [to the LORD], dwell deep [in this place of the LORD’s light], O inhabitants of Dedan [upon whom this double judgment, against the institutions of church and state, has come]; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him [Edom, removing the birthright as with Esau, because of His bitterness against His brother], the time that I will visit him [paqad – as a man, the Chief Overseer of the earth manifested, the first face of the wheel].
9 If grape gatherers come to you [My people], would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night [as I have into your ignorance, as a man], they will destroy till they have enough.
10 But I have made Esau bare [removing their cover {in this apocalypse}, all the lies and falsehood under which they think they hide], I have uncovered [galah – revealed, in the Apocalypse {Revelation}] his secret places [referring to Obadiah 1:6, saying “How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!”], and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbors, and he [all the enemies mixed among us at war with us] is not.
11 Leave your fatherless children, I will [by this understanding and light] preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.
12 For thus says the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup [which I have here given] have assuredly drunken; and are you he that shall altogether go unpunished [naqah – will I not make you clean, remove corruption from your understanding and judgment]? you shall not go unpunished [naqah – uncleaned], but you shall surely drink of it [and thereby this word will effectually work in your mind to bring this change: when the corrupt put on incorruption].
13 For I have sworn by myself, says the LORD, that Bozrah [the stronghold of corruption] shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
14 I have heard a rumor [shmuw’ah – the voice of Jehovah heard, but not yet verified] from the LORD, and an ambassador [tsiyr – a man whose voice is the birth pains preceding the One to come] is sent unto the heathen [those not knowing the LORD, and therefore not knowing His voice], saying, Gather you together [again into MY ONE BODY], and come against her [the wicked], and rise up [with Me] to the battle.
15 For, lo, I will make you [the fatherless children of the righteous and the wicked] small among the heathen [who haven’t known me], and despised among men.
16 Your terribleness [tipheltseth – the corruption you put on] has deceived you, and the pride of your heart [the proud waves, pride of your minds, trusting in the corrupt words that carried all into death and hell], O you that dwellest in the clefts of the rock [from where corruption flows, men as idols in which you put your trust], that holdest the height of the hill: though you shouldest make your nest as high as the eagle [as if you have risen there by full understanding], I will bring you down from thence, says the LORD.
17 Also Edom [the unrepentant enemies among us at war with us] shall be a desolation: every one that goes by it [‘abar – from it rises out of death into life] shall be astonished [by the power of the LORD to raise them from there], and shall hiss at [draw attention to] all the plagues thereof.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up [‘alah – rise in the flesh of a man] like [the second face of the wheel] a lion from [roaring against] the swelling [pride] of Jordan [the words that carry all in the descent into death and hell] [the LORD roaring] against the habitation of the strong [the wicked in power]: but I will suddenly make him [the wicked] run away from her [God’s people He releases from their possession]: and who is a chosen man [from whom I roar as a lion], that I may appoint [paqad – as the Chief Overseer] over her? for who is like me [created in My image]? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd [ra’ah – seer seeing as I see] that will stand [‘amad] before me [paniym – in My presence manifesting my presence]?
20 Therefore hear [shama’ – obey] the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes [machashabah], that he has purposed [chashab – as in verse 30 below] against the inhabitants of Teman [the places where the wise and prudent are in darkness: in ignorance]: Surely the least of the flock [I Am as an ox {the third face of the wheel} doing His work – of the least value in man’s eyes] shall draw them out [the wicked into this light]: surely he shall make [by His quick work upon the earth] their habitations desolate with them.
21 The earth is moved [ra’ash – the shaking that brings the dead bones together, as in Ezekiel 37:7 where it’s an identical word] at the noise of [qowl – by the LORD’s voice, effectually working to bring] their fall, at the cry the noise [qowl – the LORD’s voice roaring] thereof was heard in the Red [reed, referring to the papyrus upon which the written word comes to humanity] sea [the termination point of the proud waves].
22 Behold [when we see this is the word of the LORD manifesting His presence], he shall come up [‘alah – rise in the flesh of a man in whom His word is exalted, lifted above all] and fly [in the strength of His full understanding given and received] as the eagle [the fourth face of the wheel], and spread his wings [this voice moving His people] over Bozrah [against the stronghold of the wicked]: and at that day [this time of light] shall the heart [minds] of the mighty men of Edom [leading the enemies] be as the heart [mind] of a woman in her pangs [having to idea they are bringing forth the LORD’s ONE united BODY].
23 Concerning Damascus [God’s people who’ve been silent and in sorrow], Hamath [the stronghold, the powers holding them therein] is confounded [buwsh – ashamed and disappointed by not reaching the end they seek: not able to destroy all humanity], and Arpad [spread out: this exposition in the firmament is laid before them]: for they have heard [shama’ – obeyed, and decreed] evil [ra’] tidings [shmuw’ah – against this voice of the LORD, the report by which His arm, work, is revealed]: they are fainthearted [muwg – their evil decrees and their wicked institutions are dissolved]; there is sorrow [d’agah – this is the agitation, the storm, caused by the whale, the open mouths of the wicked, that swallows men into death and hell] on the sea [against all humanity]; it [the evil voices] cannot be quiet [refuse to be silenced].
24 Damascus [the LORD’s silent people] is waxed feeble, and turns herself [from Him] to flee [as did Jonah], and fear [of the storm] has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her [swallowing her into the belly of death and hell], as a woman in travail [needing the bring forth her child, the ONE BODY from the belly of the tanniyn: men, as whales and serpents, dragons who with open mouths devoured them].
25 How is the city of praise not left [‘azab – not loosed from death and hell], the city of my joy [that should by now realized My presence with them, even here in hell]!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall [of lies and falsehood] of Damascus [holding them in silence and sorrow], and it shall consume [‘akal – eat, swallow, devour] the palaces of Benhadad [the sons of the mighty in power].
28 Concerning Kedar [the darkness that still covers the earth], and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor [the tower, from where ignorance reigns], which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of the false prophet, which have ruled the earth in to confusion now turned insanity] shall smite, thus says the LORD; Arise you [quwm], go up to [‘alah – be lifted from] Kedar [the darkness: ignorance], and spoil the men [ben – sons] of the east [qedem – the ancient, the wicked who’ve been brought here for judgment].
29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear [cabiyb] is on every side [as in verse 5 above, when the LORD has visited as the Chief Overseer of the earth].
30 Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O you inhabitants of Hazor [the tower, from where ignorance reigns], says the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of your false prophets that have brought the world to desolation] has taken counsel against you, and has conceived [chashab – as in verse 20 above, when all the wise are found to be ignorant] a purpose [machashabah – ma-chashab-ah: what purpose of Jehovah] against you [to send all humanity to this time of His righteous judgment].
31 Arise [quwm], get you up [‘alah – rise with me in the flesh] unto the wealthy [shelve – in worldly prosperity quieted] nation [gowy – who no longer know Me] that dwell without care [thinking you are secure], says the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars [to keep out the devourers], which dwell alone [separated from Me and My ONE BODY, mocking my flesh because they say they are holier than I Am].
32 And their camels shall be a booty [baz – plunder, carried away], and the multitude of their cattle [miqneh – your property] a spoil [shalal – also the plunder of war against you]: and I will scatter [as you are now scattered from Me] into all winds [seducing spirits, the false doctrine and evil decrees by which the communists in power in church and state, now rule] them that are in the utmost [qatsats – cut off from me by] corners [pe’ah – mouth, the word of the wicked, as Moab, men who now possess and hold you in hell]; and I will bring their calamity [‘eyd – see its other uses below] from all sides thereof, says the LORD.
33 And Hazor [the tower, from where ignorance reigns] shall be a dwelling for dragons [tanniyn – men as whales and serpents devouring with their wide open mouths], and a desolation forever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.
34 The word of the LORD that came [hayah – exists] to [with] Jeremiah [Jehovah rising to raise His people] the prophet [speaking My words] against Elam [all souls throughout eternity, predestined to this moment, in the flesh here and now] in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah [Jehovah’s righteousness] king of Judah [here and now with and in His elect remnant], saying,
35 Thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war, commanding His army]; Behold [see], I will break [shabar – separate into pieces, the elements of understanding] the bow [qasheth – the sign in the cloud] of Elam [and bring them with Me throughout eternity], the chief of [ra’shiyth – the first principles, beginning] their might [gbuwrah – strength returning with Me].
36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds [the fours faces of my presence manifested] from the four quarters [qatsah – the termination, the full circuit] of heaven [returning full understanding], and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation [no people who haven’t known me] whither the outcasts [nadach – God’s people in this generation, whom He calls Zion; referring to its use in Jeremiah 30:17 and verse 5 above] of Elam shall not come [with this understanding they shine upon all].
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed [chathath – confused and in fear, by his separated elements: ignorance] before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger [in this word], says the LORD; and I will send the sword after them [this word against those who reject it], till I have consumed [kalah – this decreed and determined end, as in Daniel 12:7 and Isaiah 10:18 & 25] them:
38 And I will set my throne in Elam [here on and over the earth among all My immortals], and will destroy from thence the king and the princes [the evil misleaders, tyrants oppressing humanity, as thorns in their sides and pricks in their eyes], says the LORD.
39 But it shall come to pass [hayah – come into existence] in the latter days [‘achariyth – this end of darkness], that I will bring again the captivity [shbuwth – a state of prosperity and security under God] of Elam [all those who receive Me], says the LORD.
Daniel 12
1 And at that time shall Michael [who is like God] stand up [‘amad], the great prince which stands [‘amad] for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – this time of 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 [the ashes of the ruin] of the earth shall awake [be resurrected from death into life], some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [zahar – shall teach and enlighten] as the brightness of the firmament [this exposition]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel [judgment of God], shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets]: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge [da’ath – the knowledge of the LORD that now fills the earth – as in Habakkuk 2:14, saying “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge {da’ath} of the glory of the LORD, as the waters {His word} cover {in peace and safety} the sea.”] shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river [sending this word], and the other on that side of the bank of the river [receiving this word].
6 And one said to the man [I Am] clothed in linen, which was upon [Chief Overseer over] the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
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 this congregation, gathering into ONE BODY], and an half [this rightly dividing, knowing, this time]; and when he shall have accomplished [kalah] to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished [kalah].
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my LORD, what shall be the end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness: ignorance] of these things?
9 And he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed [and there shall be no understanding, and confusion shall reign] till the time of the end [qets].
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand [this time].
Isaiah 2
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days [‘achariyth], that the mountain [government] of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains [over and above all governments], and shall be exalted above the hills [the high places of the earth]; and all nations [who haven’t known Him] shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion [His government] shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [His people at large].
4 And he shall judge among the nations [those who haven’t known Him], and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob [still wrestling with Him unknown], come you, and let us walk in the light [understanding] of the LORD.
Isaiah 10
16 Therefore shall the LORD, the LORD of hosts [a man of war – see Exodus 15:3], send among his fat [prospering] ones leanness [and their corrupt understanding shall be cleansed], and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire [in which they are refined].
17 And the light [understanding, strength, now returned] of Israel [those who receive this promised end and will rule with Me over and above the earth] shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns [misleader] and his briers [shamiyr – deceivers] in one day;
18 And shall consume [kalah] the glory of his forest [the falsely so-called upright men], and of his fruitful field [the wickedness in which they’ve prospered], both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer [of wickedness and evil] faints.
19 And the rest of the trees [the upright] of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the [elect] remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay [rely] upon him [the wicked powers of the earth] that smote them; but shall stay [rely] upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The [elect] remnant shall return [to their right minds], even the [elect] remnant of Jacob [who were before, in ignorance, wrestling with the LORD unknown], unto the mighty God [they shall return].
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed [charats] shall overflow with righteousness.
23 For the LORD God of hosts shall make a consumption [kalah], even determined [charats], in the midst of all the land [‘erets – the earth].
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian [the communist now in power]: he shall smite you with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt [tyrannically oppressing].
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation [za’am] shall cease [kalah], and my anger in their destruction.
Jeremiah 30
16 Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon you will I give for a prey.
17 For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.
18 Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish [paqad – visit as the Chief Overseer of the earth] all that oppress them.
21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart [mind] to approach unto me? says the LORD.
22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Behold, the whirlwind [from where this voice] of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has done it, and until he has performed the intents of his heart [mind]: in the latter [‘achariyth] days you shall consider [biyn – understand] it.
Jeremiah 48
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab [whose mouth are the gates holding all the world in death and hell], says the LORD, him that offers [evil, misleading, words] in the high places, and him that burn incense to his gods [worshipping men as idols put in God’s place].
36 Therefore my heart [mind] shall sound for [hamah – roar and war against] Moab like pipes [chaliyl – to dissolve their words and break their strong hold], and my heart [mind] shall sound [hamah – roar and war] like pipes [chaliyl – to dissolve their words and break their strong hold] for the men of Kirheres [wall of potsherds; earthly understanding, elements broken in pieces and become worthless lies]: because the riches [the understanding they were given] that he has gotten have perished [in their hands].
37 For every head shall be bald [all the understanding, knowledge, that was formed in his head has perished], and everybeard clipped [all the same knowledge that once came from their mouths has also perished]: upon all the hands [their works of ignorance] shall be cuttings [gduwdah – pressing out any remaining knowledge], and upon the loins sackcloth [sorrow come from this condition, not holding any water: without understanding from the word of God].
38 There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel [into potsherd] wherein is no pleasure [because it holds no water], says the LORD.
39 They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down [chathath – into separated elements]! how has Moab turned the back with shame [unable to reach the end they promised]! so shall Moab [these men as the gates of hell] be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him [cabiyb – all those who’ve followed them into the conclusion, completion, of their circuit, ending held in hell].
40 For thus says the LORD; Behold, he [the LORD sending me to the rescue] shall fly as an eagle [the culmination in perfection, strength returned], and shall spread his wings [this voice of the LORD, heard and exalted] over Moab [over the mouths of that are the gates of hell].
41 Kerioth [qarah – upon whom this time of My threshing has come unknown] is taken [lakad – are caught in this trap laid], and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men’s hearts [minds] in Moab at that day shall be as the heart [mind] of a woman in her pangs [not knowing they have brought forth a man child, the LORD to the rescue of His people, raising His ONE BODY into life].
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself [exalting their lies] against the LORD.
43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD.
44 He that flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation [pquddah – this time of the LORD, Chief Overseer, Commander, of the earth], says the LORD.
45 They that fled [from this visitation] stood under the shadow of [ignorantly thinking they could block out and hide from the light] Heshbon [in their stronghold of lies] because of the force [koach – the strength of the Almighty]: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon [the lies in which they trust], and a flame from the midst of Sihon [those warring against the LORD], and shall devour the corner [pe’ah – the mouths] of Moab [the gates of hell], and [the fire and flame shall remove] the crown of the head of the tumultuous [sha’own – uproar, roaring wave against the roaring Lion] ones [warring against the LORD].
46 Woe be unto you, O Moab! the people of Chemosh [the subduers of God’s people] perishes: for your sons are taken captives, and your daughters captives.
47 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter [‘achariyth] days, says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
Jeremiah 25
30 Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout [the voice of His archangel, His messenger in the flesh, which is the last trumpet sounding], as they that tread the grapes [in this harvest, this judgment], against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise [sha’own] shall come even to the ends [ending the old and beginning the new] of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy [asking who is more suited to rule the earth, its Creator or those destroying it] with the nations [who haven’t known Him], he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword [this word they refuse], says the LORD.
32 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind [from where this voice is heard] shall be raised up [against the evil] from the coasts of [limit, where the proud ways of the wicked are stopped upon] the earth.
33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end [of the old] of the earth even unto the other end of [beginning] the [new] earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung [animated dead flesh] upon the ground.
34 Howl, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, you principal of the flock: for the days [this time of light returned] of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and you shall fall like a pleasant vessel [become worthless because it holds no water].
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD has spoiled their pasture.
37 And the peaceable [completed in death] habitations are cut down [damam – in silence, “to be dumb; by implication, to be astonished, to stop; also to perish”] because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
38 He has forsaken his covert [the place where they hid His presence, in the false churches of those who haven’t known Him], as the lion [roaring]: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce. anger.
Jeremiah 18
15 Because my people has forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity [worshipped worthless idols they put in My place and call by My name], and they have caused them to stumble in their [corrupt] ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up [not exalting the word of the LORD, which is His high way];
16 To make their land [‘erets – the earth] desolate, and a perpetual hissing [their voices drawing attention to their desolation]; every one that passes [‘abar – from them into life] thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head [in disbelief they are continuing in self-destruction].
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back [My work after it is complete], and not the face [paniym – not My presence while I Am working among them unknown], in the day of their calamity [‘eyd].
18 Then said they, “Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah [Jehovah rising {in the flesh} to raise His people]; for the law shall not perish from the [corrupt] priest, nor counsel from the [corrupt] wise, nor the word from the [corrupt] prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue [kill him with our words as we, the corrupt, have killed all others], and let us not give heed to any of his words.”
19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood [‘amad – I Am risen] before you [paniym – in Your presence manifested] to speak good for them, and to turn away your wrath from them [that hear and obey Your voice].
21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine [so they no longer are fed their corruption], and pour out [your teaching] their blood [against their teaching that is draining life from them] by the force [hand – Your work] of the sword [this word they refuse]; and let their wives [teaching corruption] be bereaved of their children, and be widows [without the providers of corruption]; and let their men [the providers] be put to death [understood to be the dead]; let their young men be slain by the sword [this word of the LORD] in battle [warring against Him].
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you shall bring a troop [your risen army] suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me [into which they have fallen], and hid snares for my feet [into which they are fallen and snared].
23 Yet, LORD, you know all their counsel against me to slay me [with their words]: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your sight, but let them be overthrown before you [paniym – by Your presence manifested with us, in us]; deal thus with them in the time of your anger.
Proverbs 6
15 Therefore shall his calamity [‘eyd] come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16 These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaks lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
20 My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:
21 Bind them continually upon your heart [in your mind], and tie them about your neck [where they are readied to be spoken].
22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you.
23 For the commandment is a lamp [showing you the way]; and [in] the law is light [understanding]; and reproofs [correction] of instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep you from the evil woman [the seducers in church and state], from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman [strayed from the LORD].
Obadiah 1
1 The vision of Obadiah [the servant of Jehovah]. Thus says the LORD God concerning Edom [the enemies mixed among us at war with us]; We have heard a rumor [shmuw’ah – heard the voice] from the LORD, and an ambassador [tsiyr – the voice of Jehovah] is sent among the heathen [those who don’t know the LORD], Arise you, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 Behold [see], I have made you [Jacob – God’s people still wrestling with Him and His voice from His messenger] small [qatan] among the heathen [those who don’t know me]: you are greatly despised.
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you that dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high [all the place of teachers and leaders]; that says in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 Though you exalt yourself as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, thence will I bring you down, says the LORD.
5 If thieves came to you, if robbers by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave some grapes?
6 How are the things of Esau [the enemies among us in power] searched out! how are his hidden things sought up [ba’ah – a five times used word referring us to its other four uses, all in Isaiah below]!
7 All the men of your confederacy [joining with communists and God haters] have brought you even to the border [this limit, your end]: the men that were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you; they that eat your bread have laid a wound under you: there is none understanding in him.
8 Shall I not in that day, says the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom [the enemies in power], and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 And your mighty men, O Teman [the places where understanding should be found], shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10 For your violence against your brother Jacob shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever.
11 In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates [crossed our borders], and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even you were as one of them.
12 But you shouldest not have looked on the day of your brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest you have rejoiced over the children of Judah [the leaders of My people] in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest you have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
13 You shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity [‘eyd]; yea, you shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity [‘eyd], nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity [‘eyd];
14 Neither shouldest you have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest you have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as you have done, it shall be done unto you: your reward shall return upon your own head.
16 For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph [Ephraim] a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD has spoken it.
19 And they of the south [in whom My power is revealed] shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines [Palestinians – the enemy army now among us plainly seen]: and they [the men of the south] shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead [those who become My right hand shall possess this mountain of My testimony].
20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel [the LORD’s people, His army, returned to their right mind] shall possess that of the Canaanites [those zealously evil, fighting against God and His people], even unto Zarephath [when this is realized to be the refining fire]; and the captivity of [in which minds return to the LORD, in New Heavenly] Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad [among those who were before separated from Him], [and they] shall possess the cities of the south [where His power appears to those looking to His light].
21 And saviors [the ONE BODY of Christ] shall come up on mount Zion [the LORD’s government] to judge the mount of [the rulers, government possessed by] Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.
Isaiah 21
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and anoint the shield.
6 For thus has the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion [‘ariy – the body of Christ rising by/with His strength]: My LORD, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I Am set in my ward whole nights:
9 And, behold, here comes a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon [confusion’s rule] is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he has broken unto the ground.
10 O my threshing [opening the word, referring us to Isaiah 28, and destroying the gates of hell], and the corn [ben – sons] of my [threshing] floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
11 The burden of Dumah [short for Edom {Esau} and meaning the silencing of the enemies in our midst – as in verse 2]. He called to me out of [away from] Seir [the high places of Esau, devils misleading the flock], Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night [the time of ignorance, which is caused by their {Edom’s} words]?
12 The watchman said, The morning [understanding coming as the light of the sunrise] comes, and also the night [and these men will reject this word and choose to remain in ignorance]: if you will enquire [ba’ah], enquire you [ba’ah – only used three other times – here referring us back to Obadiah, verse 6, where it is rendered “sought up,” which tells us this is how the secret things of Esau are revealed {by enquiring}]: return [shuwb – turn us], come.
Isaiah 30
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear [shama’ – and obey] the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers [ra’ah], See [ra’ah] not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits [as do the false prophets]:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One [the son of man in whom the LORD is unknown speaking and working] of Israel to cease from before us [paniym – cease from manifesting the LORD’s presence with us].
12 Wherefore thus says the Holy One [the son of man, the LORD unknown in the flesh of His chosen] of Israel, Because you despise this word [wherein the Father’s presence is manifested], and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore, this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out [ba’ah – inquiring, seeking out the inequity] in a high wall [the lie of those power], whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ [earthen] vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit [wherein they are fallen and snared].
15 For thus says the LORD God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning [shuwbah – only used here, meaning in returning to Jehovah] and rest [nachath – in his light] shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.
16 But you said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at [paniym – the presence of the LORD manifested in] the rebuke of one; at [paniym – at the presence of the LORD manifested in] the rebuke of five shall you flee: till you [as the LORD’s saviors] be left as a beacon [of light] upon the top of a mountain [the LORD’s government], and as an ensign [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted, so the LORD’s word is exalted above all others, as Moses lifted the fiery serpent in the wilderness] on a hill.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious [finish His work, perfecting us with His gift of full understanding] unto you, and therefore will he be exalted [as an eagle], that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him [to finish His work].
29 You shall have a song [this word in your mouth, repeated as received], as in the night [this time of darkness: ignorance] when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe [chaliyl – to dissolve the words of the wicked, the gates of hell, and break their strong hold] to come into the mountain [the government] of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard [shama’ – and obeyed], and shall show the lighting [understanding] down [nachath] of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones [this word reserved in heaven for the time of war].
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian [communist] be beaten down [chathath – become confused and in fear, by their chosen ignorance], which smote with a rod.
Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would rend the heavens, that you would come down [as a man], that the mountains might flow down [melt] at your presence [paniym],
2 As when [as a lion roaring] the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil [ba’ah – inquiring, that inequity is searched out], to make your name [identity] known to your adversaries, that the nations [who haven’t known You] may tremble at your presence [paniym]!
3 When [as an ox working] you did terrible [yare’ – fearful] things which we looked not for, you came down, the mountains flowed down at your presence [paniym].
4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, beside you, what he has prepared for him that wait for him [to complete His work, strengthening us, and raising us on His wings as an eagle].
5 You meet him that rejoices [realized this is Your presence manifested] and [made in Your likeness] works righteousness, those that remember you in your ways: behold, you are wroth; for we have sinned: in those [recognizing You and Your way] is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses [all the thing we think we know are right] are as filthy rags [‘ed]; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away [from continuing with You].
7 And there is none that calls upon your name, that stirs up himself to take hold of you: for you have hid your face [paniym – presence] from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 But now, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity forever: behold, see, we beseech you, we are all your people.
10 Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion [Your government] is a wilderness, Jerusalem [Your people] a desolation.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12 Will you refrain yourself [not reproduce us in Your image] for these things, O LORD? will you hold your peace [not cause Your word to be heard from us], and afflict us very sore [not cause us to rise with Your rising]?
Proverbs 1
10 My son, if sinners entice you, consent you not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave [sheol – hell]; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast [your vote] in your lot among us; [as communists saying] let us [through the force of government] all have one purse:
15 My son, walk not you in the way with them; refrain your foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird [the trap of their evil ways is worthless to catch those who understand it].
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:
21 She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utter her words, saying,
22 How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold [see], I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But you have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity [‘eyd]; I will mock when your fear [pachad] comes;
27 When your fear [pachad] comes as desolation, and your destruction [‘eyd] comes as a whirlwind [My Almighty Spirit working and speaking]; when distress and anguish comes upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD [the decision by which men condemn themselves]:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore [by choice] shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple [from the present LORD] shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkens [shama’ – hears and obeys] unto me shall dwell safely [betach], and shall be quiet [sha’an – be at peace] from fear [pachad] of evil.
Proverbs 3
12 For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delight.
13 Happy is the man that finds [this] wisdom, and the man that gets [this] 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 [of understanding] are broken up, and the clouds [where understanding, when it leaves the earth, is held in separated elements, there reserved for this time of war] drop down the dew [the elements reassembled into His word and are from heaven sent to the earth again].
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 [this gift in us waiting to be spoken].
23 Then shall you walk in your way safely [betach], and your foot shall not stumble.
24 When you lay down, you shall not be afraid [pachad]: yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.
25 Be not afraid [yare’] of sudden fear [pachad], 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 [this word of God] from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
Isaiah 40
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things, that brings out their host by number: he calls them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one fails.
27 Why sayest you, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over [‘abar – the way by which He brings us from death into life, is hid] from my God?
28 Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new], faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He gives power [koach] to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD [to finish His work] shall renew their strength [koach]; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation 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.
Isaiah 28
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone [of My new government], a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste [to flee away in shame].
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail [this word reserved in heaven, sent in this time of war, against the current corrupt crop of leaders] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – shama’ Jehovah, the vexation is to understand this is His voice, and hearing Him, obey His commands].
And to those who do hear Him, “you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the [New] Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [His messengers speaking His message],”
Hebrews 12
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks [here] from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things [the blinding corruption] that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Psalms 77
1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
2 In the day of my trouble [tsarah – tribulation] I sought the LORD: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted [nacham].
3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah [think!].
4 You hold my eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart [mind]: and my spirit made diligent search.
7 Will the LORD cast off forever? and will he be favorable no more?
8 Is his mercy clean gone forever? does his promise fail forevermore?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? has he in anger shut up his tender mercies [His promise to correct and not destroy us]? Selah [think!].
10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.
11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember your wonders of old.
12 I will meditate also of all your work, and talk of your doings.
13 Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
14 You are the God that does wonders: you have declared your strength among the people.
15 You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah [think!].
16 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound [qowl – Your voice]: your arrows [chets] also went abroad [halak – walk, His way is long-suffering the piercing words of the ignorant – referring to Genesis 49:23 & 24, saying “The archers {chets} have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: But his bow {qasheth – the bow in the cloud} abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel:)”].
18 The voice [qowl] of your thunder [the sound of the light] was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way is in the sea [walking among us], and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps are not known.
20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses [those drawn out from the corrupt waters] and Aaron [those bearing the light as received].
Psalms 77
1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

14 You are the God that does wonders: you have declared your strength among the people.

16 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

18 The voice [qowl] of your thunder [the sound of the light] was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way is in the sea [walking among us], and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps are not known.
20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses [those drawn out from the corrupt waters] and Aaron [those bearing the light as received].
