And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, says the LORD.

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.

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].

And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes

20 – 24 July 2024

And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

The above, Mark 1:22, occurs in Capernaum, a Hebrew name from the words kaphar and nachum.

Their Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definitions are:

Strong’s #3723: kaphar: from 3722 [kaphar – in context meaning to cover, to remove, to placate or cancel; most often translated “to make an atonement”]; a village (as protected by walls):– village.

Strong’s #5162: nacham: a primitive root; properly, to sigh, i.e. breathe strongly; by implication, to be sorry, i.e. (in a favorable sense) to pity, console or (reflexively) rue; or (unfavorably) to avenge (oneself):– comfort (self), ease (one’s self), repent(-er,-ing, self).

The word kaphar (3723) only appears twice, both times rendered “in the villages,” speaking of the place of “atonement.” It first appears in 1 Chronicles 27:25 and after in Song of Solomon 7:11.

1 Chronicles 27
25 And over the king’s treasures [‘owtsar, the armory, holding this hidden understanding] was Azmaveth [the strength to overcome death] the son of Adiel [adorning, putting on, these treasures of God]: and over the storehouses [‘owtsar – sent from their hiding place in this time of spiritual warfare] in the fields [sadeh – spread, in this exposition, before all God’s people], in the cities [‘iyr – guarded against corruption by those seeing the LORD and walking, as disciples, with Him in His work], and in the villages [kaphar – to make an atonement], and in the castles [migdal – the towers, those raised by seeing His coming], was Jehonathan [by this gift given by Jehovah] the son of Uzziah [which, understanding, is the strength of Jehovah]:

Song of Solomon 7
1 How beautiful are your feet [ways of the LORD’s people] with shoes [ na’al – from na’al, “a spring shut up, a fountain sealed,” as in Song of Solomon 4:12], O prince’s daughter! the joints of your thighs are like jewels [chaliy – as the obedient joined with a wise reprover; the understanding you’ve received, as the treasure, are joined into a concise and precise awareness], the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
2 Your navel [covering, source from where life flows] is like a round goblet [as a cup filled by the LORD], which wants not liquor [lacking not this water turned to wine]: your belly [this hell, holding you before our birth] is like a heap of wheat [chittah, with affinity to Chittim, speaking of this message sent to the good seed] set about with lilies [as the LORD’s trumpet calling all to gather to His salvation; showshannah, hosanna: God’s protected people now saved, saying “blessed is he that comes in the name of the LORD”].
3 Your two breasts [the power of the Almighty flowing into the righteous and the wicked] are like two young roes [tsbiyah – are as armies arrayed] that are twins [ta’own – other than here and above, only used twice, in Genesis 25:25 & 38:27, the first speaking of Jacob and Esau, the other of Tamar’s children Pharez (breach) and Zarah (rising) whose hand came out of the womb {beten – belly, like hell, were the living unborn wait to be born again: raised} and a scarlet thread was tied around his hand {work} before he pulled it back and his brother was born first. As we know, Tamar {palm tree} and her two children are mentioned in Matthew’s recording of Jesus’ bloodline {generation}, which he records {Matthew 1:3} continuing through Pharez. The LORD’s bloodline continues in Zarah, in His resurrection, referred to in the only use of the word zerach {meaning “a rising of light”}, from where the name comes. Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen {zarach – from zerach} upon you. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise {zarach} upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you. 3 And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising {zerach}.].
4 Your neck is as a tower of ivory [words waiting to be spoken were seen coming and are in your mouth as teeth with which you devour dead flesh]; your eyes like the fish-pools in Heshbon [the things you’ve seen, life below these written words’ surface, are your stronghold], by the gate of Bathrabbim [the way out of hell into heaven for the multitude of scattered churches]: your nose is as the tower of Lebanon [perceiving these things as purity from the Highest] which looks toward Damascus [is sight for those who remain drunken with pride and therefore silent in sorrow].
5 Your head [leadership] upon you is like Carmel [is a nation of gardens], and the hair of your head [this understanding that has enlarged your mind] like purple [of a virtuous woman: church]; the king is held in the galleries [the king is there joined with you in this watering].
6 How fair and how pleasant are you, O love, for delights!
7 This your stature [gowmah – highness] is like to a palm tree [tamar], and your breasts [your nourishing your children] to clusters of grapes.
8 I said, I will go up to the palm tree [tamar], I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also your breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of your nose [your deep perception] like apples [tappuwach, the fruit of a good tree];
9 And the roof of your mouth [speaking this word] like the best wine [saved for last] for my beloved, that goes down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak. [What part of this is hard to understand?].
10 I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me [I and the children the LORD has given me].
11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field [the earth wherein the LORD has planted us]; let us lodge in the villages [kaphar – in this atonement].
12 Let us get up early [awake from our sleep in death] to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth [as in Luke 21:29, when we see the fig tree and all the trees, bring forth new life, you know the kingdom of God is at hand]: there will I give you my loves.
13 The mandrakes [duwday – the baskets of fruit] give a smell [by which we perceive its presence], and at our gates [this word of God] are all manner of pleasant [meged] fruits, new and old, which I have laid up [tsaphan – as treasure reserved for this moment] for you, O my beloved [dowd – David, I Am].

Jeremiah 24
1 The LORD showed me, and, behold, two baskets [duwday] of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of false prophets and false teachers that carried all into the desolation and confusion that now rules the world] had carried away captive Jeconiah [who Jehovah will establish] the son of Jehoiakim [who Jehovah raises up] king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon [to this world ruled by confusion and delusion].
2 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are [now] first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty [ra’ – evil] figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad [roa’].
3 Then said the LORD unto me, What see you, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil [ra’], very evil [ra’], that cannot be eaten, they are so evil [roa’].
4 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans [among those using their words to oppress and manipulate into evil] for their good.
6 For I will set my eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land [‘erets – the new earth]: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
7 And I will give them a heart [a mind] to know me, that I Am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart [mind].

John 2
1 And the third day [this resurrection day] there was a marriage [all joining the LORD in His ONE BODY] in Cana [reeds – reaching the limit of humanity, where the proud waves are stayed] of Galilee [circuit – this end of the age, and beginning the new heaven and earth, in His inner circle who’ve received the understanding He’s given: the wheel with the wheel: this understand sent to give understanding]; and the mother [those who must rebel against the corrupt status quo, and be filled with His Spriit] of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples [students], to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine [this word that, aging, fills them with the Spirit, and changes men’s minds], the mother of Jesus says unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus says unto her, Woman [church], what have I to do with you? my hour is not yet come.
5 His mother said [as the church should be saying] unto the servants, Whatsoever he says unto you, [obey and] do it.
6 And there were set there six [the number of man] waterpots [hudria – vessels for holding rainwater] of stone [men from whom this understanding will flow], after the manner of the purifying [for washing away corruption] of the Jews [Judah – those now leading God’s people who call themselves believers], containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus says unto them, Fill the waterpots with water [the written word sent from heaven, in which is hidden all understanding, reserved there for this time of Christs’ War]. And they filled them up to the brim [ano – an eight times used word, speaking of this filling as what lifts us above the corrupt world into life].
8 And he says unto them, Draw out now [antieo – as living waters flowing from your bellies; referring to John 7:38 below], and bear unto the governor [architriklinos – those awakened by the power of the Father on this third day] of the feast. And they [obeying as commanded] bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was [from the LORD of whom they are ignorant]: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And say unto him, Every man at the beginning does set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse [leaving men in a worse condition than when they first heard]: but you have kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples [students] believed on him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum [the place of the Comforter, the Paraclete, I Am, who the Father has sent to lead His people into all truth, in this new heaven and earth, wherein dwells righteousness], he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples [all doing the Father’s will]: and they continued there not many days [“for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children”].
13 And the Jews’ [the leaders of God’s people] passover [from death into life] was at hand, and Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh] went up [is risen] to Jerusalem [among God’s people at large, into whom His word, teaching, will flow].
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves [fictitious tales of the end time], Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house [where this word should be freely given] a house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of your house has eaten me up. [This is quoted from Psalms 69:9, after verse 8 says, “I am become [as a Holy Ghost] a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.”]
18 Then answered the Jews [the current crop of corrupt leaders] and said unto him, What sign show you unto us, seeing that you do these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple [My ONE BODY, as they have], and in three days I will raise it up.

Hosea 13
9 O Israel, you have destroyed yourself; but in me is your help.
10 I will be your king: where is any other that may save you in all your cities? and your judges of whom you said, Give me a king and princes?
11 I gave you a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim [all God’s people in these last days, who are a “double ash-heap: I shall be doubly fruitful”] is bound up; his sin is hid.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
14 I will [by removing corruption and awakening to put on immortality] ransom them from the power of the grave [sheol – hell, this habitation of the dead, in the earth]; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be your plagues; O grave [sheol – hell], I will be your destruction: repentance [nocham – only used here, meaning, I will never desist, and nothing] shall be hid from my eyes.
15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his [corrupt] spring shall become dry, and his [corrupt] fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the [corrupt] treasure of all pleasant vessels [removing them from the people to which they brought death].
16 Samaria [those worshipping idols men created, put in My place, and call by My name] shall become desolate; for she has rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword [this word of God upon those who refuse it]: their infants [those being nourish by the corrupt flowing from them] shall be dashed in pieces, and their women [their corrupt churches] with child shall be ripped up [baqa’ – freeing those cleaving to their corruption].

John 7
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem [all God people at large], Is not this he, whom they seek to kill [with their words make dead like all the others they made dead]?
26 But, lo, he speaks boldly [this life-giving water], and they say nothing unto him. Do the [corrupt] rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ comes, no man knows whence [where or when] he is [as it is this day].
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, “You both know me, and you know whence [where and when] I Am: and I Am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom you know not.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he has sent me.”
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, “When Christ comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has done?”
32 The Pharisees [the religious leaders who’ve scattered the flock] heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
34 You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come?
37 In the last day [this ‘achariyth], that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost [the LORD in them working and speaking, unknown to the ignorant not knowing Him] was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

John 8
20 These words spoke Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple [He is now raising]: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour [to be lifted above all others] was not yet come.
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, you cannot come.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he say, Where I go [where I Am lifted above], you cannot come.
23 And he said unto them, You are from beneath; I am from above [ano]: you are of this [corrupt] world; I Am not of this [corrupt] world.
24 I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins [as all have]: for if you believe not that I Am he, you shall die in your sins [as all have by their unbelief, refusing to obey these life-giving waters].
25 Then said they unto him, Who are you? And Jesus says unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the [corrupt and dead] world those things which I have heard of him.
27 They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When you have lifted up the Son of man [exalting, above all other voices, this word of my Father flowing from me], then shall you know that I Am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone [He is alive with me, in me]; for I do always those things that please him.
30 As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews [the new crop of godly leaders] which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples [students, I have disciplined] indeed;
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 11
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man [Lazarus – the priesthood] should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the grave [this earth where the dead are housed]. It was a cave [in the earth], and a stone lay [mouths of corruption held them therein] upon it.
39 Jesus said, Take you away the stone [of corruption, the words of men that are the gates of hell]. Martha [rebelling against the status quo], the sister of him that was dead, say unto him, LORD, by this time he stinks [by which we perceive he is dead]: for he has been dead four days.
40 Jesus says unto her, Said I not unto you, that, if you would believe, you shouldest see the glory of God [manifested in raising the dead]?
41 Then they took away the stone [of corruption] from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up [ano – filled him with these words of life] his eyes [these two words, “his eyes,” don’t appear in the original text], and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
42 And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people which stand by I [out loud] said it, that they may believe that you have sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice [the voice of the arch-messenger, as a trumpet], Lazarus [the dead priesthood, now cleansed, as a brand plucked from the fire, as in Zachariah 3:2], come forth [come forth to the Father who is above the world, as in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 & 17].
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus says unto them, Loose him, and let him go [from the garments corrupted by death, so he can put on the garments of the cleansed priesthood, as in Zachariah 3:5].
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary [the church that rebelled against the status quo, and has seen all these things], and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees [the old corrupt priesthood, who scattered the dead bones of God’s people], and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles.
48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans [Babylon, the confusion that now rules the insane world] shall come and take away both our place and nation.
49 And one of them, named Caiaphas [the prominent voices among the corrupt], being the high priest that same year, said unto them, You know nothing at all,
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die [be destroyed by their words] for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 And this spoke he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die [this voice exalted so the corrupt mass media can destroy me] for that nation;
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to [with their words] put him to death.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews [the corrupt]; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim [where He is, I Am, with this generation, in those who receive this word as His word], and there continued with his disciples [students who receive this course correction].
55 And the Jews’ passover [raising new leaders from death into life] was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves [of the corruption, the leaven of the dead institutions].
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think you, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees [the old and corrupt religious institution] had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him [to destroy Him with their word].

Acts 2
12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What means this?
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, You men of Judaea [Judah], and all you that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15 For these are not drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; [in Joel 2:28 – 32, after saying it is when He, in this feast, restores all that was devoured by the destroyers, verse 27 says, “And you shall know that I Am in the midst of Israel, and that I Am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.”]
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days [the ‘achar{iyth}] say God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [speaking these words, this message, I’ve put in their mouths, speaking with this full understanding to all], and your young men shall see visions [see as the LORD see], and your old men shall dream dreams [these new things I am creating in their minds, making all things new again]:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days [this time of light] of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above [ano – from there filling them and lift them there with Me], and signs in the [old and corrupt] earth beneath; blood [draining life from humanity], and fire [of hell, caused the corruption and insanity men follow], and vapor [the elements of understanding separated and removed] of smoke [from the bottomless pit, the endless fall away from God and truth, by which all its institutions are darkened]:
20 The sun [the church] shall be turned into darkness [without this understanding], and the moon [civil governments] into blood [draining the life from humanity], before the great and notable day [this time of light, this understanding and life] of the LORD come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved.
22 You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God [alive in him] did by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by [ekdotes – only used here, meaning made the giver of] the determinate [horizo – the place from where His light rises] counsel [boula – at His will] and foreknowledge [prognosis] of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: [the word dotes only appears once, in 2 Corinthians 9:7, verses 6 & 7 saying “But this I say, He which sows {this word} sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows {this word} bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves {agapao – gives these treasure, gifts of His grace, to} a cheerful giver {dotes}.]
24 Whom God has raised up [from among the dead], having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be held of it.
25 For David speaks [in Psalms 16::8 – 11] concerning him, “I foresaw the LORD always before my face [present with me, in me], for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27 Because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life; you shall make me full of joy with your countenance [realizing Your presence].”
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God [by His prognosis] had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ [in the flesh] to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before [by the foreknowledge of God given to him] spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus has God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted [His voice in him above all other voices], and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost [Himself speaking and working unknown, to reveal Himself], he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he says himself, The LORD said unto my LORD, Sit you on my right hand,
35 Until I make your foes your footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel [all God’s people who receive Him and His promise] know assuredly, that God has made the same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both LORD and Christ.

Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum [nacham – the comforter, leading us into all truth] the Elkoshite [who is also God the ensnarer, speaking and working among us unknown, to reveal Himself].
2 God is jealous, and the LORD revenges; the LORD revenges, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves wrath for his enemies.
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers: Bashan languishes, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knows them that trust in him.
8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end [kalah] of the place thereof, and darkness [their own ignorance] shall pursue his enemies.
9 What do you imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end [kalah]: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10 For while they be folded together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 There is one come out of you, that imagines evil [ra’] against the LORD, a wicked counselor [ya’ats].
12 Thus says the LORD; Though they be quiet [shalam – though they think their power is secure], and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down [gazaz], when he shall pass through [‘abar – passing over to bring us from death into life]. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 For now will I break his yoke [of the wicked joined among you] from off you, and will burst your bonds in sunder.
14 And the LORD has given a commandment concerning you, that no more of your name be sown: out of the house of your gods will I cut off [karath] the graven image and the molten image: I will make your grave; for you are vile.
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace! O Judah, keep your solemn feasts, perform your vows [neder]: for the wicked shall no more pass through you [‘abar – no longer bring the living into death]; he is utterly cut off [karath].

1 Corinthians 15
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed [allasso],
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye [seeing this light], at the last trump [this voice of the LORD’s archangel]: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [allasso].
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is your sting? O grave [sheol – hell], where is your victory?

Mark 1
22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes [who falsely claim they know the written word].
23 And there was in their synagogue a man [represent these scribes] with an unclean spirit [of corruption that defiled the pure word]; and he cried out,
24 Saying, ”Let us alone; what have we to do with you, you Jesus of Nazareth [the guarded one; who the Father protects and defends from men’s corruption]? are you come to destroy us? I [now] know you who you are, the Holy One of God.”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Hold your peace [silence the gates holding men in hell], and come [with your corruption] out of him.”
26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him [sparasso – drawn him into open sight, into the light], and cried with a loud [megas – speaking the LORD’s] voice, he came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commands he even the unclean spirits [as frogs before hidden below the surface of their word in God’s name], and they do obey [hupakouo – meaning “to hear under (as a subordinate), i.e. to listen attentively; by implication, to heed or conform to a command or authority”] him.
28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee [those understanding the wheel, and by it coming to the light].

Galatians 4
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you [not hearing the signs of life, wondering if the LORD is risen in you yet].
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not hear the [uncorrupted] law?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise [this end, by faith in the LORD’s presence speaking to and working in you, now reached].
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai [among thorns, misleaders who only partially know the law and therefore add their ignorance corrupting it], which genders to bondage, which is Agar [said to mean flight; from hegeh; a three times used word, as in Psalms 90:9, speaking of God’s people, when they are without Him and His understanding, verses 8 & 9 saying “You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your countenance {presence}. For all our days are passed away in your wrath: we spend our years as a tale {hegeh} that is told.”].
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to [old and corrupt] Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage [held in corruption] with her children.
26 But [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [into whom this understanding, the LORD’s teaching, flows] which is above [ano – filled and lifted into life] is free, which is the mother [bringing us up into manhood] of us all.
27 For it is written [in Isaiah 54:1], Rejoice, you barren that bears not; break forth and cry, you that travail not: for the desolate [brough up by thorns] has many more children than she which has [the LORD as] a husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of [this] promise[d end].
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what say the scripture [in Genesis 21:10]? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir [of this world] with the son of the free woman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

Galatians 5
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has [by this truth] made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage [joined with the ignorant who refuse this truth and thereby condemn themselves to perdition].

Philippians 3
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things [to which I was in bondage and separated from the LORD’s truth] but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my LORD: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ [the LORD alive in our flesh, through His word effectually working to bring us to this promised end], the righteousness which is of God by faith [in His presence with us, in us]:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death [for speaking this word of the LORD, in His name, His identity];
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained [not that He is already known, resurrected, alive, in me], either were already perfect[ed in His revelation of Himself]: but I follow after [His leading], if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high [ano – filled and lifted by] calling of God in Christ Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation realized, manifested, in the flesh of those perfected].
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto [this understanding] we have already attained [where we now stand], let us walk [stiecheo – meaning “to march in (military) rank (keep step), i.e. (figuratively) to conform to virtue and piety:–walk (orderly),” and not according to the corrupt element, rudiments, stoicheion, of the world, which melt away in the fire they cause] by the same rule [kanon – canon], let us mind [phroneo – exercise our mind, working out corrupt, to reach] the same thing [the mind of Christ, our perfection in the LORD, and He in us].
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and [understanding this good fruit] mark them which walk so as you have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk [in the way of the corrupt elements of the world, misleading the many who follow them], of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ [in us, long suffering to speak this truth in the Father’s name]:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly [the hell into which they swallow and hold all their followers], and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation [in the LORD’s presence] is in heaven; from whence [in this conversation at His mercy seat] also we look for the Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the [effectual] working [of His word in us] whereby he is able even to subdue [hupotasso – meaning “to subordinate; reflexively, to obey”] all things unto himself.

Colossians 3
1 If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above [ano – those things with which He has filled and lifted us], where Christ sit on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection [phroneo – your exercised mind] on things above [ano – that fill and lift others], not on [the corrupt] things on the earth.
3 For you are dead [until He is risen in you], and your life is hid [krupto – this is the cover removed in the apocalypse: meaning taking away the cover] with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear [phaneroo], then shall you also appear [phaneroo] with him in glory.
5 Mortify [nekroo – deaden] therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, [all of] which is idolatry [worshipping corruption]:
6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience [who refuse to obey His truth, His good leading]:
7 In the which [refusing to obey] you also walked some time, when you lived in them.
8 But now you also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth [all of which is worshipping corruption].
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old [corrupt] man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man [wherein dwells the LORD’s righteousness, His mind, by which His Glory is revealed: Him alive in us, with us], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you.
14 And above all these things put on charity [agape – giving the same word as received], which is the bond of perfectness [what joins us together in this resurrection of the dead].
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also you are called in ONE BODY; and be you thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts [this gift in your minds] to the LORD.
17 And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name [identity] of the LORD Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

All following is from the post of 6 March 2024.

Psalms 34
1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [shama’ – hear it as His voice and obey] thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name [identity] together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he heard [‘anah – responded, with His voice, to] me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened [given understanding, wherein is our way forward into new life]: and their faces were not ashamed [not disappointed, realizing He is our promised end].
6 This poor man [without worldly power] cried, and the LORD heard [shama’] him [heard his obedience, the product of their understanding], and saved him out of all his troubles [tsarah – tribulation]. [Romans 10: 8 But what says it {Deuteronomy 30:14, speaking of how the LORD comes from heaven and is raised from death out of hell}? The word is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart {from your mind revealed in your spoken thought}: that is, the word of faith {by which you are saved, and raised with Him}, which we preach; 9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus, and shall believe in your heart {mind} that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. 10 For with the heart {mind} man believes unto righteousness {correct, right, thinking}; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed {not disappointed}.]
7 The angel [mal’ak – messenger, the cherubim manifesting His presence at the mercy seat] of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them.
8 O taste [these words] and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him.
9 O fear the LORD, you his saints [qadowsh – His holy place, wherein He dwells and from where He is manifested present]: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and [without His word] suffer hunger: but they that [diligently, in faith] seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. [Hebrews 11: 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.]
11 Come, you children [born again by our Father’s correction], hearken unto [shama’ – and hearing His voice, obey] me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile [deception, fraud].
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace [that only flows from the Father’s teaching], and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous [those not speaking evil or guile, but according to this good word from the mouth of the LORD], and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face [paniym – presence] of the LORD is against them that do evil [misleading the sheep], to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles [tsarah – the current tribulation, hell on earth, which the dead, the ignorant, deny and think is normal].
18 The LORD is near unto them that are of a broken heart [minds realizing they strayed into death]; and saves such as be of a contrite [dakka’ – meaning powder, as in, realizing they are a product of the afflictions that ruined, crushed, the earth’s] spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones [from being crushed into powder]: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The LORD redeems the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

The word dakka’ appears only two other times: in Psalms 90:3, it is rendered “destruction,” and in Isaiah 57:15, it speaks of those who “are of a contrite” and humble spirit (able and willing to be corrected).

Psalms 90
1 LORD, you have been our dwelling place [ma’own, literally asking, what ‘own, meaning “(in the sense of effort, but successful); ability, power, (figuratively) wealth:–force, goods, might, strength, substance” {in us}] in all generations. [1 John 4:12 No man has seen God at any time. If we love {agapao – giving His word as received, as His, to} one another, God dwells in us, and his love {agape – his word received as His} is perfected {teleioo – “to complete, i.e. (literally) accomplish, or (figuratively) consummate (in character):–consecrate, finish, fulfil, make) perfect.”} in us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit {His presence with us unknown, leading us into all truth, and, in the process, revealing Himself as the ONE, the Father in His children doing the work and speaking}. 14 And we have seen and do testify {unto salvation} that the Father sent the Son {His children, His ONE flesh BODY in which He dwells} to be the Savior of the world.]
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3 You turn man to destruction [dakka’ – bringing his ways to ruin, to humble him, the contrite, into knowing his need for correction]; and say, Return [to Me], you children of men.
4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past [any given time past is perceived as a percentage of the total time of consciousness], and as a watch in the night [awake while man sleeps in ignorance waiting for this day to come].
5 You carry them away [into darkness] as with a flood [of their own ignorance]; they are as a sleep [in death]: in the morning [when understanding comes as the light of a new day] they are like grass which grows up [new life rising out of the earth, out of the belly of hell].
6 In the morning [when light has come] it flourish, and grows up [chalaph – as a change of garment, their flesh cover]; in the evening [when darkness, ignorance, returns] it is cut down [muwl – circumcised, their worthless flesh is removed], and withers [as it now has].
7 For we are consumed by your anger, and by your wrath [this word sent to the dead who reject it] are we troubled.
8 You have set our iniquities before you [making them known and correcting them away], our secret “sins in the light” [ma’owr – the power, in us effectually working Your revelation, and working out iniquity] of your countenance [paniym – by Your presence].
9 For all our days [man’s false understanding] are passed away [panah – appear] in your wrath [this word the ignorant reject]: we spend our years [shaneh – changes] as a tale [hegeh – man’s thoughts, the muttering of fools] that is told.
10 The days [man’s false understanding] of our years [shaneh – of his evolution] are threescore years and ten [when Divine order returns]; and if by reason of strength [men in power] they be fourscore years [only understood after His perfecting in the New Creation], yet is their strength [men in power] labor and sorrow; for it [the wicked in power] is soon cut off [guwz], and we fly away [these last words refer to the only other time guwz is used, in Numbers 11:31, saying, of the wicked powers that, as quals, are taken away by the LORD’s Almighty Spirit, and fall around us, “And there went forth a wind {His Almighty Spirit} from the LORD, and brought {quwz – cut off} quails from the sea {people at large, who they, by their evil, misled}, and let them fall {natash – be beaten down} by the camp, as it were a day’s journey {derek – a conversation giving understanding} on this side {then}, and as it were a day’s journey {a conversation giving light, as a wheel within a wheel, received} on the other side {now}, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits {‘ammah – mother, a teacher who raises us} high upon the face of {paniym – in the LORD’s presence on} the earth.”].
11 Who knows the power of your anger [Your word, the scourging that effectually works in those who receive it as Your word working out of them corruption]? even according to your fear, so is your wrath [giving this word, even to those who reject it, warning them they are, by refusing to receive it as My word, destroying themselves].
12 So teach us to number [assess] our days [the things you think you know], that we may apply our hearts [minds] unto [Your] wisdom.
13 Return [to the sight of Your people], O LORD, how long? and let it repent you concerning your servants. [Galatians 4:18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. 19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, 20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you {while I wait patiently for your conversion, when your mouths are opened as is necessary for the world’s good}.]
14 O satisfy us early with your mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days [when full understanding comes and is, to the world, apparent in your opened mouths].
15 Make us glad according [as promised during the time of correction] to the days wherein [while all were still in ignorance of the LORD’s presence] you have afflicted us, and the years [shaneh] wherein we have seen evil [which produced our change, evolution].
16 Let your work [changing us] appear unto your servants, and your glory [Your apparent presence in us] unto their children.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish you the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands [in us] establish you it [to the world through us].

Isaiah 57
11 And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? have not I held my peace [not speaking] even of old, and you fear me not [now that I have spoken against you]?
12 I will declare your [self-presumed, falsely so-called] righteousness, and your works; for they shall not profit you.
13 When you cry [to Me], let your companies deliver you; but the wind [My Almighty Spirit] shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that puts his trust in me shall possess the land [‘erets – the earth], and shall inherit my holy mountain;
14 And shall say, Cast you up, cast you up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block [of men’s corruption] out of the way of my people.
15 For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite [dakka’] and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive [chayah – quicken from death into life] the heart [minds] of the contrite [daka’] ones.
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me [in the darkness of their ignorance], and was wroth, and he went on frowardly [twisting and perverting truth] in the way of his heart [mind].
18 I have seen his [blind and lame] ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also [into all truth], and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off [rachowq – those here in the time when the world is ruled by the unrighteous decrees of evil men in power], and to him that is near [destruction], says the LORD; and I will heal him.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea [constantly agitated and agitating], when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt [destroying all truthful discourse].
21 There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.

As we’ve seen, in the post of 27 February 2017, per (as it pertains to) Psalms 119 in the previous post, the word chayah, a product of the dakka’ (daka’), is the LORD’s effectual work in us bringing the contrite from death into life: by bringing us from ignorance (taught by corrupt men) into His light (taught by our incorruptible God).

Now I ask the proud again, are you better (holier than) the one the Father calls the Holy One, who you call your LORD as you worship idols you created and put in His place, while you (witnessing against yourselves) prove yourselves ignorant of Him and His way?

As we’ve seen, the LORD suffered this scourging (daka’), which Paul speaks of many times, which Isaiah foretold, as Psalms 119 does of the affliction of God’s children, which (tribulation – evil men pressing upon us: oppressing us) turn us again to Him, purging us of (His word effectually working out of us) corruption into life.

Hebrews 2 (after describing the messengers the LORD sends, led by the son He filled full, through whom He speaks in these last days, as flames of fire sent to minister this word to those who inherit Salvation), in context, says:

1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me, to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “divers” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding all these divers elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place [Psalms 8] testified [of the son], saying, “What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit [paqad – manifest Your presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth, in] him?
7 You madest him a little lower than the angels [as we’ve seen, the words here are chacer ‘elohiym, telling us the son is intentionally sent lacking the full knowledge of God; the Psalm then saying this is planned so the son {I Am: His presence in this moment manifested in the flesh He’s chosen} can be crowned by the Father with His understanding: revelation only known to the Father]; you crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him over the works of your hands:
8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we [in our blindness] see not yet [that] all things [are] put under him [not hearing and obeying this word as the Father’s voice, as it is].
9 But we [again] see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death [sent without understanding], [now, when we see Him again] crowned with glory and honor [raised to life by the light of the Father in him]; that he by the grace of God should taste death [and be raise from it] for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain [archegos – only used three other times; in Acts 3:15, speaking of the son as the “Prince” of life, who the religious and civil power denied, conspired against, and killed; Acts 5:31 as the risen “Prince” who is seated at the Father’s right hand {from where Habakkuk 3:4 says, in this writing, comes His hidden power as rays of light}; and Hebrews 12:2 saying He is “the Author and Finisher of our Faith”] of their salvation perfect [teleioo – made complete, filled full] through sufferings [the same affliction, tribulation, doubting the LORD is present, the daka’, that, through proof of him {I Am}, makes us ready, willing, to be quickened from corruption into life].
11 For both he that sanctifies [purges us from corruption, making us holy] and they who are sanctified [purged and made holy] are all of one [Body of Christ]: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare your name [identity] unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing [repeating the words You’ve given me] praise unto you.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me [when our mouths are opened with His words, are for signs and wonders to God’s people at large].
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he [the Father] also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death [coming lacking understanding] he might [self-manifesting His light, life, in the flesh, to] destroy him that had the power of [to deceive men into ignorance of God and to instead follow them into] death, that is, the devil [the misleaders who put themselves in His place];
15 And deliver them [the misled] who through fear of death [not understanding it is a state of mind], were all their lifetime subject to bondage [but you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free from death].
16 For truly he took not on him the nature of angels [a mere messenger given a message]; but he took on him the seed of Abraham [to which the LORD promised a son, an heir who would become as many as the sand of the shore and the stars of heaven].
17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren [born into dead flesh here in hell], that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted [to doubt the Father’s presence with him here in hell, to from it raise us], he is able to succor [rescue] them that are tempted [to doubt Him].

Psalms 8
A Psalm of David
1 O LORD [Jehovah], our LORD [‘adown – our king], how excellent is your name [identity] in all the earth! who have set [nathan – given] your glory [Your manifested presence] above the heavens [the places where understanding should be found].
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings [declaring Your word as You commanded, saying “Hosanna {save now}, Blessed is he who comes in the name {identity} of the LORD] have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still [shabath – sabbath: interrupting their work, putting them to silence so Your correction is heard above all other voices of] the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens [this understanding You’ve given to us], the work of your fingers, the moon [just civil government; ruling as You rule, with truth and equal justice] and the stars [Your people in this new heaven, filled with Your light here on earth, wherein dwells righteousness], which you have ordained [kuwn – prepared, raised, and established];
4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit [paqad] him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than [chacer – lacking the understanding] the angels [‘elohiym – of God], and have crowned him with [Your] glory and [Your] honor [His understanding given to and through me].
6 You made him to have dominion [mashal – rule] over the works of your hands [referring to this light given from there]; you have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen [Your flock], yea, and the beasts of the field [the dead in the earth, those without Your Spirit];
8 The fowl of the air [those who, by Your strength, rise into the place where understanding should be found], and the fish of the sea [the life unseen and found below the surface of the waters of the earth], and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas [man on his unknowing journey through generations].
9 O LORD our LORD, how excellent is your name [identity] in all the earth!

What will you say when he shall punish you? for you have taught them to be captains, and as chief over you: shall not sorrows take you, as a woman in travail?

17 – 18 July 2024

What will you say when he shall punish you? for you have taught them to be captains, and as chief over you: shall not sorrows take you, as a woman in travail?

The word “punish,” above in Jeremiah 13:21, is paqad, meaning “to visit (with friendly or hostile intent); by analogy, to oversee, muster, charge, care for, miss, deposit, etc..” As often discussed, it speaks of the LORD openly manifesting His presence, in His word and work, as the Chief Overseer of the earth, declaring righteous decrees that combat the evil decrees (now) ruling the earth.

One such decree concerns current government institutions (of church and state), degenerated into the control of those antithetical to their Constitution. No longer are they controlled by (the consent of) the constituents who elect representatives to carry out their will, within the framework of the powers vested in their institutions by its Law. This will, as established in our Declaration, is that we are entitled to live under “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God (the Creator),” who has endowed us with unalienable Rights, among them Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, and to secure these unalienable Rights governments are instituted.

As we know, the “Bill of Rights,” the first ten amendments to the Constitution, state additional rights essential to “securing” ourselves against despots abusing government power. They specifically protect against demagogues that might rise and end as tyrants threatening our Lives and Liberty. They additionally state our Right to Pursue Happiness includes our right to acquire and keep secure our private property.

The current governments, riddled by millions of unelected self-servants, now led by devils (possessed by the spirit of Satan), abandoned, not only the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God, but also, the Spirit in these Laws (securing our God-Given Rights, our neighbors’ and our own: reciprocal security, the way to peace and sustainable civilization), and now control, by evil decree and corrupt judgment, virtually every aspect of our existence.

The LORD has righteously decreed they will not continue.

2 Peter 3
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness [ignorant of the fact He is always here with us]; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [stoicheion – the rudiments of the world, the corruption and insanity now possessing humanity] shall melt with fervent heat [the fires of hell these elements themselves create], the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy [this pure, uncorrupted, word] conversation [wherein the LORD’s presence is manifested] and godliness [eusebeia – literally meaning to revere good; the same word as in 1 Timothy 3:16, saying, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness {eusebeia}: God was {is} manifest in the flesh {of those speaking His word}, justified in the Spirit {while unknown speaking and working}, seen of angels {those made pure who become His messengers speaking His word}, preached unto the Gentiles {to those who don’t know Him}, believed on in the world {He is now creating}, received up into glory {in those exalting His voice above all other voices}.],
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the [old and corrupted] heavens [where this understanding should be found] being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas of the wicked in power] shall melt [be dissolved] with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].
17 You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
18 But grow in grace [this gift], and in the knowledge of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen.

The word above, in 1 Timothy 3:16, dubiously rendered “without controversy,” only appearing here, is homologoumenos, from the word homou (same) logos (words) and menuo, meaning “probably from the same base as 3145 [masso – to handle, as in 1 John 1 below] and 3415 [mnaomai – to mentally grasp] (i.e. mao, to strive); to disclose (through the idea of mental effort and thus calling to mind), i.e. report, declare, intimate:–show, tell.”

In this verse (1 Timothy 3:16) Paul says homologoumenos (this same word declared) megas (the greatness found therein) eusebeia (is revering good) musterion Theos phaneroo en sarx (is the mystery of God manifested in the flesh).

This statement comes after (in verse 15) he (Paul) just spoke to Timothy so he would know how to behave (anastrepho – return: in the conversation) to “the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.”

Acts 15
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 After this I will return [anastrepho], and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17 That the residue of men might seek after the LORD, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, says the LORD, who does all these things.
18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

2 Corinthians 1
9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead:
10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 You also helping together [under the same sentence, doing the same work] by prayer for us, that for the gift [this understanding from the LORD] bestowed upon us by the means [of answering the prayers] of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf [thanking the LORD for our deliverance and theirs].
12 For our rejoicing [the LORD’s presence realized in this word] is this, the testimony of our conscience [suneidesis – our co-perspective with the LORD], that in simplicity [haplotes – meaning “singleness, i.e. (subjectively) sincerity (without dissimulation or self-seeking), or (objectively) generosity (copious bestowal)] and godly [Theos – from God] sincerity [without leaven: uncorrupted], not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace [this gift] of God, we have had our conversation [anastrepho – in which the LORD is] in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
13 For we write none other things unto you, that what you read or acknowledge [epiginosko – this dispensation of knowledge by the LORD through His gift to us, in this conversation]; and I trust you shall acknowledge [epiginosko – receive the dispensation of knowledge] even to the end [when we receive this full understanding, the light and life of the LORD];
14 As also you have acknowledged [epiginosko – received the dispensation from] us in part, that we are your rejoicing [realizing it is the LORD manifesting His presence in the conversation], even as you also are ours [rejoicing] in the day [when the light and life] of the LORD Jesus [is manifested from you].

1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2 (For the life [light and understanding] was manifested, and we have seen it [in the flesh], and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us [in His son, and the children given to him];)
3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy [realizing His presence in this manner] may be full.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light [understanding and life], and in him is no darkness [ignorance] at all.

Ephesians 2
1 And you has he quickened [from the dead into life], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course [aion – this age of ignorance] of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air [aer – one of the seven times this word appears, here referring to it and the church darkened by the smoke that comes from the bottomless pit {Revelation 9:2}, meaning all understanding is gone, in the endless fall away from God], the spirit [of ignorance] that now works in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation [anastrepho] in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, has [clearing the air, as in Revelation 16:17] quickened us [from death into life] together with Christ, (by grace [this gift of understanding, light, life] you are saved;)
6 And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places [with full understanding] in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to [aion – the new age now] come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us [giving this understanding] through Christ Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the conversation from the flesh He chooses].
8 For by grace [this word] are you saved through faith [it is His manifesting His presence with us, in us]; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift [given] of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works [to give His word as received], which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and [by ignorance] without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made near by the blood [this necessary sacrifice] of Christ [the flesh through which the Father speaks manifesting His presence].
14 For he is our peace, who has made both [God and man] one, and has broken down the middle wall [the veil of flesh] of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity [the ignorance by which we oppose His word and work], even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man [understanding the letter and Spirit of life in the Law], so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile [apokatallasso – change {allasso} us by not only putting down {kata}, but taking away {apo} the sin of ignorance] both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity [the reason for opposition] thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were near.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household [family] of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together grows unto a holy temple in the LORD:
22 In whom you also are built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit [into His ONE BODY].

The passages above, in verses 13 & 17, describes the reconciling of those “far off” and “near,” talking about those experiencing it, at first in total ignorance (far off), and those now receiving His word (the “access” – prosagoge, literally meaning led forth [by His] leading), drawing nearer (to completion of His work) than the day they first believed.

Romans 13
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we [first] believed [the LORD is with us, in us].
12 The night [the ignorance that covers the earth] is far spent, the day [this light, life, and understanding] is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness [ignorance], and let us put on the armor [the protection] of light [found in His life and understanding].
13 Let us walk honestly [not handling the word of God deceitfully], as in the day [with this understanding He is freely giving us]; not in rioting [not without self-control] and drunkenness [having our minds, and words, clear of what corrupts them], not in chambering and wantonness [not desiring to be what we are not], not in strife and envying [opposing those who have seen and do know].
14 But put you on the LORD Jesus Christ [this same mind: understanding and life found therein], and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Friends, Paul, the LORD in him speaking, at Mars’ Hill (meaning at the peak of this war between reality and delusion) speaks of this moment when all men have become too superstitious, thinking all is either metaphysical or fictional, and thereby missing the physical reality they are experiencing.

Acts 17
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill [Aireos Pagos – at the “peak of martial,” of God’s people to this battle], and said, You men of Athens [now when man is certain of nothing, and all knowledge is corrupted by an inability to separate truth from opinions: delusions], I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious [deisidaimonesteros – literally meaning they are afraid, fearing the gods of this world, to receive the treasures that will strengthen them: giving certainty to the uncertain].
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God [the Holy Spirit]. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is LORD of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands [but in the flesh of those through whom He speaks and works];
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands [works], as though he needed any thing, seeing he gives to all life [understanding], and breath [breathed from His mouth: words], and all things [needed];
26 And has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined [horizo – from where the sun rises] the times before appointed [protasso – prearranged, prescribed: before written, pre ordained], and the bounds [horothesia – laying out the limit: the termination point] of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the LORD [first], if haply they might feel after him [after He has effectually worked in us], and find him, though he be not far from every one of us [always willing to reveal His presence to those who receive Him manifested in His word]:
28 For in him [only do] we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are [by receiving this understanding] also his offspring [in whom He will live, if we become His prepared habitation].
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead [theios] is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device [enthumesis – only appearing four times, all others rendered “thoughts;” here in context discerned to be men’s fictitious writing].
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent [and purge out the blinding corruption]:
31 Because he has appointed a day [a sun rising, after the darkness: this ignorance], in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained [horizo – who is the place from where the sun rises, beginning this new day: age]; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him from the dead [out of confusion, out of hell, into life in heaven: the place wherein full understanding is found].
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again of this matter.

2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming [parousia] of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together [episunagoge – only used here and in Hebrews 10:25 where we’re told not to forsake this {egkateleipo – meaning let this survive when all else doesn’t, as in Hebrews 13:5, when the LORD says He is the one who will remain when all others don’t} as do others; it means a complete collection] unto him,
2 That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away [apostasia – apostasy, defection from truth, standing away from God {because the fallen say they are holier than Him, as in Isaiah 65:5}, as in the bottomless pit John see in Revelation 9:2] first, and that man of sin be revealed [those putting themselves in the Father’s place, in the pattern of Rueben], the son of perdition [apoleia – as in 2 Peter 2:1, 2 & 3 & 3:7 & 16, as used in Revelation twice {in Revelation 17:8 & 11, which happen to the eighth church, who becomes part of Babylon {the mass confusion that rules the world} and ascended from the bottomless pit into perdition, which we’re told in 2 Peter 3:16 is the destruction that comes to the ignorant who wrestle with this word of God to their own “destruction”];
4 Who oppose and exalt himself [Satan in them working and speaking] above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God [as do the many antichrists among us, preaching and teaching their own ways and ideas in LORD’s name].
5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now you know what withholds [katecho – holds you, keeping God’s people from joining Him in His ONE BODY] that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work [these wicked men we’re already working, as Paul earlier describes in 1 Thessalonians 2, Satan working in them to keep this true word of God from being heard, as he also speaks of in 2 Thessalonians 3] only he who now lets [katecho – who were then holding God’s people down, oppressing them so the word of God wouldn’t have free course and be receives as His, as it is] will let [will hold you down], until he be taken out of the way [mesos – these men and their teaching taken out of our midst].
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume [as in Hebrews 12, by His correction] with the spirit of [fire from] His mouth [shaking heaven and earth, so the wicked are shaken from them], and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming [parousia]:
9 Even him [the LORD], whose coming [parousia] is after the working of Satan [in wicked men] with all power [in church and state] and signs and lying wonders [which caused the apostasy and fool men into following them and not the LORD among us, who said “I will never leave you or forsake you”],
10 And [these wicked men] with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [And I must again here digress; I hear many people speaking of those they think are prophets because they saw this or that event occurring. These men are not prophets of God, and we know because they lack one thing, the knowledge of God. These are those bumbling about seeking what they will never find, never saying “Thus says the LORD” and, not knowing the time of their visitation, never speaking the words He here alone reveals. Thus says the LORD, “If they speak not according to this word there is no light in them.” They are those, too superstitious, Paul {the LORD in him} speaks to and of on Mars’ Hill.]
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie [believing their own opinions are truth, as they do: “I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.” Isaiah 66:4]:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called [kaleo] you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions [paradosis – transmitted, given as received, as in I Corinthians 11:2] which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our LORD Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which has loved [agapao – given His word to] us, and has given us everlasting consolation [paraklesis – from the Paraclete, the LORD working among us unknown] and good hope through grace [this gift],
17 Comfort [parakaleo] your hearts [continue His calling from your sound mind], and establish you in every good word and work.

1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby:
3 If so be you have tasted that the LORD is gracious.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen [eklektos] of God, and precious,
5 You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect [eklektos], precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen [eklektos] generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles [those who don’t know the LORD]: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation [episkope – the days of the Chief Overseer].

As previously discussed, Jeremiah 13 begins with the LORD telling Jeremiah to take a girdle (a preparation, for a journey) and hide it in a hole in a rock near Euphrates.

Jeremiah 13
5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates [this river of fruitfulness, wherein it should be found], as the LORD commanded me.
6 And it came to pass after many days [in these last days], that the LORD said unto me, Arise [rise to life from death’s sleep], go to Euphrates [this fruitful river in which is the preparation], and take the girdle [preparation] from thence, which I commanded you to hide there.
7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred [shachath – decayed and ruined in the earth], it was profitable for nothing.

As we know, from Revelation 16, this river is now dried up (by the sixth angel poring out the LORD’s wrath upon it: this word they reject) and what is (now was) hidden below its surface is revealed.

[From the post of 17 January 2024] In Revelation 16, between the sixth and seventh angel sounding, the LORD tells of manifesting His presence (name and identity) through (with and in) the seventh messenger (the only voice speaking for Him, with His authority),

after men began worshipping confusion (taking the mark [[of possession]] in their hand and head: in their works and words: their ways and ideas),

and all the waters became blood, words draining life from the world, and all living became dead,

and all the rivers of blood continued to flow the blood of dead men, keeping all dead in hell,

5 And I heard the angel of the [[pure]] waters say, You are righteous, O LORD, which are, and was, and shall be, because you have judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets [[destroying the understanding, life, they were given]], and you have given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, LORD God Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.

and the church caused men to pass through the fires their darkness caused, and they vilified God’s word and work sent to correct them and refused His calls for them to repent,

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat [of power] of the beast [the confusion that rules the world]; and his kingdom was full of darkness [ignorance]; and they gnawed their tongues for pain [[devouring themselves with their own corrupt words]],
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great [[megas]] river Euphrates [from where the word of God once flowed producing the fruitfulness of the earth]; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might [[those deceiving and manipulating the world]] be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean [defiled] spirits like frogs [which were before hidden below the surface of the waters: evil in their words] come out of the mouth of the dragon [those who, as serpents and whales, swallow men into the belly of hell], and out of the mouth of the beast [the insanity, Babylon that rules the world], and out of the mouth of the false prophet [the known liars and false accusers in church and state media].
14 For they are the spirits of devils [misleaders who put themselves in God’s place], working miracles [saying they are opening eyes to knowledge not before known], which go forth unto the kings [ruling powers] of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great [[megas]] day [[time of this light returning]] of God Almighty [at the time He decreed, which no man knows].

The LORD then speaks of this moment, when He has come and done His work, of which none are aware;

15 Behold, I [have] come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame [disappointment when what {I Am} they didn’t expect comes].
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon [this mountain of the rendezvous at this decreed time].
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air [clearing the smoke [[that came from the fall in the bottomless pit – Revelation 9:2]] so everything is clearly seen as it is]; and there came a [one] great [[megas]] voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne [of God], saying, “It is done.”
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great [[megas]] earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake [to shake the wicked from heaven and earth], and so great. [Are you ready?]
19 And the great [[megas]] city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away [and this word of God will be heard in all the places that have been without it], and the mountains [the high places, seats of power of the wicked] were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great [[megas]] hail out of heaven [this word reserved there for this moment, sent [[in this time of war]] to destroy the current crop of corrupt leaders], every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Jeremiah 13
9 Thus says the LORD, After this manner will I mar [shachath – cause to decay into ruin] the pride of Judah [the preparation the leaders of God’s people corrupted, and in their pride refuse to hear My correction back to purity], and the great pride of Jerusalem [God’s people into which these unfaithful leaders worked their leaven, until the whole is corrupted and worthless]. [Matthew 16:12 “Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of” their leaders who’ve corrupted God’s word as delivered and thereby led the world into darkness and death].
10 This evil people, which refuse to hear [shama’ – or obey] my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart [the creation of their own minds: abomination {opinions: delusions} they created, put in My place, and call by My name], and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle [‘ezowr – the preparation left them], which is [now corrupt and] good for nothing.
11 For as the girdle [‘ezowr] cleaves [dabaq] to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave [dabaq] unto me [alone] the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear [shama’ – or obey My good leading].

The word dabaq, meaning “to impinge, i.e. cling or adhere; figuratively, to catch by pursuit,” speaks of the snare upon all the earth, in which man is “caught up” (Hebrew, natsal or Greek, harpazo – seized) by God. Above, it speaks, as now, of men refusing this rescue.

The Greek equivalent of the word dabaq, is kollao (the origin of the name Colossians), meaning “from kolla (“glue”); to glue, i.e. (passively or reflexively) to stick (figuratively):–cleave, join (self), keep company.”

1 Corinthians 6
14 And God has both raised up the LORD, and will also raise up us by his own power [His word that effectually works in us, changing our mind to be like His].
15 Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot [the unfaithful who’ve left the LORD and follow men who put themselves in His place]? God forbid.
16 What? know you not that he which is joined [kallao] to a harlot [the unfaithful who sleep in death with these wicked men] is one body? for two, says he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined [kallao – cleaves] unto the LORD is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication [interaction with these men who’ve become idols who’ve put themselves in the LORD’s place]. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication [whose interaction is the wicked and not the LORD] sins against his own body [choosing this darkness chooses condemnation].
19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [the LORD whom you apparently don’t know] which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?
20 For you are bought with a price [time – Tim]: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus [meaning time {price} of God] our brother [I Am],
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse [who now cleave to the LORD, joined with Him as ONE BODY]: Grace [this gift] be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ.
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love [agape – giving this word as received] which you have [received as His word] to all the saints,
5 For the hope which is laid up [prepared] for you in heaven, whereof you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and brings forth fruit, as it does also in you, since the day you heard of it, and knew [it is] the grace of God in truth:
7 As you also learned of Epaphras [from whom this fruitfulness flows] our dear fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
8 Who also declared unto us your love [agape – your charity, freely give this word] in the Spirit [the LORD, unknown to the world, working through you, in you].
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That you might walk worthy of the LORD unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power [of His word effectually working], unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness [realizing it is the LORD’s presence manifested in you, through you];
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet [hikanoo – meaning “to enable, i.e. qualify:–make able (meet)] to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light [this understanding, this life]:
13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness [ignorance], and has translated us [methe – carried us away from ignorance and corruption] into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature [ktisis – this new creation]:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness [of His understanding] dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile [apokatallasso] all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled [apokatallasso]
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23 If you continue in the faith [that the Father is always with us, in us] grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Am made a minister;
24 Who now rejoice [realizing the LORD’s presence is manifested] in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church [His ONE BODY]:
25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil [accomplish and complete] the word of God;
26 Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches [this full understanding] of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles [who don’t know Him and are therefore blinded to His presence]; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

Jeremiah 13
15 Hear [shama’ – and obey] you, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD has spoken.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness.
17 But if you will not hear [shama’ – and obey] it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and my eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock is carried away captive.
18 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north [out of darkness]: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
21 What will you say when he shall punish [paqad – comes as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to] you? for you have taught them [the rulers of the darkness] to be captains, and as chief over you: shall not sorrows take you, as a woman in travail [readied to bring forth the seed of David, the seed of Joseph his ‘adown]?
22 And if you say in your heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts discovered, and your heels made bare.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may you also do good, that are accustomed to do evil [whose flesh mind is stained by darkness and misled you into desolation and tribulation].
24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of [their false doctrines: corruption they learned, which brought them into] the wilderness.
25 This is your lot [of those who refuse to hear His voice and obey His commands], the portion of your measures from me, says the LORD; because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

Amos 9
8 Behold, the eyes of the LORD God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says the LORD.
9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel [the people who receive Me and My promise] among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom [the enemies mixed among us at war with us while calling it peace], and of all the heathen [who refuse to know Me], which are called by my name, says the LORD that does this.

Psalms 27
A Psalm of David
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength [understanding] of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host [an army] should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When you said, Seek you my face [paniym – presence]; my heart said unto you, Your face [paniym – presence], LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not your face [paniym – presence] far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart [give understanding into the minds of those who]: wait, I say, on the LORD.

You did run well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth?

13 – 15 July 2024

You did run well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth?

The above, Galatians 5:7, comes as Paul, the LORD alive in him speaking, discusses obeying the Law or Christ, the written letter, or diligently seeking to fulfill its underlying Spirit. Paul speaks of preaching the Law and circumcision of the mind, by which understanding comes, “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

He (Paul), describing his suffering for preaching this underlying rudimentary principle, says, “And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is [if I did not necessarily suffer this tribulation for your sakes] the offense of the cross ceased.”

As previously discussed, the word rendered “offense” is the skandalon (scandal), meaning “a trap-stick (bent sapling), i.e. snare (figuratively, cause of displeasure or sin).” It speaks of the “snare” that has now come upon all the world, and specifically God’s “holier than thou” people who are offended at the Father’s appearance in (what they define as) my scandalous flesh.

The word is said to be derived from the kampto, meaning “to bend.” It (kampto) is used four times, all telling of who men “bow” their knee to, men as idols who put themselves in His place or the LORD to whom all will “bow.”

Galatians 5
12 I would they [those who make themselves gods, idols, the hyper-religious, who, claiming they know the “Law,” put themselves in the Father’s place] were even cut off which trouble you.
13 For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty [away from the rudiments of this world, the corrupt elements, partials understanding without the Spirit]; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love [agape – leading the world out of darkness into the light: giving this understanding as received by the Spirit of truth, the Paraclete, the LORD working among us unknown, whose led us into it] serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word [logos – “Divine Expression”], even in this; You shall love [agapao] your neighbor as yourself.
15 But if you bite and devour one another [as serpents and whales mixed among God’s people], take heed [be warned] that you be not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the [high way of the] Spirit [the truth into which He’s led us], and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

The word rendered “consume” is the three times used word analisko, meaning “to use up, i.e. destroy:–consume.” The first of these other uses comes in Luke 9:54, as James and John, seeing rejected the messengers the LORD sent to prepare the way before Him, ask the LORD, “will you that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume [analisko] them, even as Elijah did?”

Luke 9
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, You know not what manner of spirit you are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

Before looking at the other use of analisko, we must remember the LORD’s words from John 3, first saying the Son of man has come to save the world, but there is a decision (krisis) by which men condemn themselves when this truth (understanding, light, life) has come, and men choose to remain the darkness (ignoring the light) because their deeds are evil.

2 Thessalonians 2
8 And then shall that Wicked [who are offended by this word, who trouble you and seek to keep you held down in their darkness] be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume [analisko] with the spirit of [this word from] his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness [shining this understanding as the light] of his coming:
9 Even him [I Am], whose coming is after [the falling away from truth and light, which is among you] the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of [agape – leading us out darkness, by] the truth [light and life], that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion [the insanity that now permeates all the institutions of church and state that are possessed by Satan], that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness [as they do, with pride].

Romans 11
2 God has not cast away his people [those held in the places possessed by Satan, here in hell] which he foreknew. Wot you not what the scripture says of Elijah? how he made intercession to God against Israel saying,
3 LORD, they have killed your prophets, and digged down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what says the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed [kampto] the knee to the image of Baal [the gods of this evil world].
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace [given this gift from the LORD, His testimony by which he saves us].
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace [the gift] is no more grace [is not a gift]. But if it be of [men’s] works, then it is no more grace [a gift from God]: otherwise work [to which he has called us] is no more work [for which we are prepared, to deliver the gift freely, as received].
7 What then? Israel has not obtained that which he seeks for; but the election has obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully [as is the work of Satan]; but by manifestation of [phanerosis – making apparent] the truth commending ourselves [suniemi – introducing, establishing] to every man’s conscience [suneidesis – to produce a co-perspective, agreement with Him, seeing as He sees] in the sight [realizing the presence] of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god [men as idols] of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not [the LORD is present with us, in us], lest the light [understanding] of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants [working] for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light [this understanding] to shine out of darkness [among the ignorant], has shined in our hearts [minds], to give the light [understanding] of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face [presence] of Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in this high way, in scandalous flesh].

Romans 11
8 (According as it is written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

Isaiah 29
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder [not knowing what you are experiencing]; cry you out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep [with no signs of life], and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers [ra’ah – those who see as God sees] has he covered [kacah].
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book [cepher] that is sealed [chatham], which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed [chatham]:
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart [the foundations of their mind – their stiocheion, the elements of their understanding, are corrupt and disordered] far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [eye opening] work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder [pele’ – at which all have wondered]: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their [wicked] counsel [‘etsah] from the LORD, and their works are in the dark [their own ignorance of reality and truth they can’t understand because it is as a foreign language], and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down [the overthrow] shall be esteemed as the potter’s [yatsar] clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed [yatser] say of him that framed [yatsar] it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon [where purity should be seen in high places] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest [of upright men]?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19 The meek [who shall inherit the earth] also shall increase their joy in [realizing the presence of] the LORD, and the poor [those without worldly power] among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender [scandalous] for a word [they say violates the falsely so-called “moral” code on this evil time: the rudiments, stoicheion, of this evil world], and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate [out of hell into the kingdom of God], and turn aside the just [from entering] for a thing of naught [an offense that isn’t one].
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed [padah] Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale [but they will reach the end promised].
23 But when he sees his children [who have been born again out of death and hell], the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name [declare My identity Holy], and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured [against me] shall learn doctrine.

Romans 11
9 And David says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block [skandalon], and a recompence unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.

Psalms 69
13 But as for me, my prayer is unto you, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation.
14 Deliver me out of the mire [of men’s corruption, that has clouded these waters, and hidden understanding from their eyes], and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters [the wicked in power have darkened].
15 Let not the waterflood [of the wicked] overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Hear me, O LORD; for your lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of your tender mercies.
17 And hide not your face [paniym – Your presence] from your servant; for I am in trouble [tsar – under enemy attack]: hear me speedily.
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies [‘oyeb – who hate me].
19 You have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: my adversaries [who heap these things upon me] are all before you.
20 Reproach has broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21 [At my cross] They gave me also gall [their poisonous words] for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let their table become a snare before [paniym – by Your presence unknown to] them: and that [this word they reject] which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour out your indignation [za’am – that ends in their destruction] upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom you have smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom you have wounded.

Romans 11
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles [unbelievers, who haven’t known the LORD], for to provoke them to jealousy [parazeloo – bring heat to those who call themselves believers, who are ignorant of their fallen condition].
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of [this gift, grace to] the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness [when they likewise receive this gift]?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation [parazeloo – bring heat to] them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling [katallage – the course adjustment] of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the first-fruit [the elect remnant] be holy, the lump [the risen BODY they’ve provoked to emulation] is also holy: and if the root [from where this gift flows] be holy, so are the branches.

The “fall,” into death’s sleep, Paul speaks of twice above, is the Greek word paraptoma, said to mean “a side-slip (lapse or deviation), i.e. (unintentional) error or (wilful) transgression.” Its deeper meaning is in the words para (from beside or near) and potamos, meaning “a current, brook or freshet (as drinkable), i.e. running water.” This latter word (patomos) speaks of water that flows as a flood against humanity and those combating them as “rivers” of pure living water whose origin is the Father in heaven.

Romans 9
27 Isaiah also cries [in Isaiah 1:9] concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the LORD make upon the earth.
29 And as Isaiah said before, Except the LORD of Sabaoth [commander of the army of heaven] had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like unto Gomorrah. [Isaiah 1:9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. 10 Hear {shama’ – and obey} the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.]
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed [obeyed] not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed [obeyed] after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling-stone and rock of offence [skandalon – the scandal of the LORD’s word flowing from the flesh of a man disapproved by the self-righteous who say it should be otherwise, according to their words]: and whosoever believes on [the Father’s words from] him shall not be ashamed.

Remember, this last verse is quoted from Isaiah 28:16, which speaks to and of the same people as above at this moment. It speaks of those who’ve made a covenant with death, and are in agreement with hell, to whom comes this rest and refreshing, which they refuse.

Isaiah 28
5 In that day [today is the day, this time of light] shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem [tsphiyrah – only appearing two other times, in Ezekiel 7:7 and 7:10, when it is the “morning” that has now come, saying “The morning {tsphiyrah} is come unto you, O you that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.” and “Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning {tsphiyrah} is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.”] of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. [Ezekiel 7:8 & 9 say, “Now will I shortly {a short work will the LORD make upon the earth, because the bed upon which humanity sleeps is shorter than humanity itself, who will remain} pour out my fury upon you, and accomplish my anger upon you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations. And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense you according to your ways and your abominations that are in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the LORD that smites.”]
7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
8 For all tables [that have become a snare upon them] are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine [shmuw’ah – {shama’ Yahh} heard and obeyed this voice of Jehovah teaching]? them that are weaned from the milk [receiving the foundational element of truth, have advanced in understanding, into perfection], and drawn [now draw] from the breasts [of the Ancient of Days – as we know, the word here rendered “drawn” is ‘attiyq, only appearing elsewhere in 1 Chronicles 4:22, where it speaks of the “ancient” things, the work of those that dwelt with the king].
10 For [as here] precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue [the truth: a foreign language to those who only know corruption] will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they [refused and] would not hear [shama’ – and obey].
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 [shama’ – and obey] 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 [this] 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, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste [shall not be taken away with the flood of men’s lying words, the shame that comes upon those who refuse this rest and refreshing].
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and [the] righteousness [of God] to the plummet [against which your righteousness shall be judged]: and the hail [the word frozen in heaven, reserved there for this moment] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters [His word from heaven] shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell [sheol] shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge [showt] shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you [in its snare]: for morning by morning shall it pass over [‘abar – the bringing the Passover from death into life for those who receive it as His word], by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – only to understand it is the voice of Jehovah manifesting His presence to those who receive Him].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a man [sleeping in death] can stretch himself on it: and the covering [of lies and falsehood] narrower than that he can wrap [hide] himself in it.
21 For the LORD [Jehovah] shall rise up as in mount Perazim [2 Samuel 5:20 – as water from His throne, breaking forth upon His and David’s enemies], he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon [Joshua 10:10 & 11 – His word reserved {frozen} in heaven, sent as great hailstones upon the wicked: the current corrupt crop sitting in power], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange [known to no one except Him] act.
22 Now therefore be you not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD GOD [‘Adonay Jehovih – KING of kings and LORD of lords] of hosts [a man of war and Commander, Chief, of the army of heaven] a consumption [kalah – a full end, as in Daniel 9:27], even determined [charats – decreed, as in Joshua 10:21 saying “And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua {Jesus} at Makkedah {as one flock under one shepherd} in peace: none moved {charats} his tongue against any of the children of Israel.” And 2 Samiel 5:24, the LORD saying to David, “And let it be, when you hear {shama’ – obey} the sound {qowl – the voice} of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees {baka’, from which come bkowr – telling us this is the voice of the “firstborn”}, that then you shall bestir yourself: for then shall the LORD go out before {paniym – His presence will be manifested with, in} you, to smite the host of the Philistines {the enemy army now mixed among you}.”] upon the whole earth.
23 Give you ear, and hear [shama’ – and obey] my voice; hearken, and hear [shama’ – and obey] my speech.

1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby:
3 If so be you have tasted that the LORD is gracious [freely giving this gift to all].
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them [those who claim they are builders but are in truth the destroyers of the world] which be disobedient [incorrigibles who refuse to obey], the stone [I Am] which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner [turning men’s heads back to the LORD],
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense [skandalon], even to them which stumble at the word [this word from the mouth of the LORD, with which they ignorantly wrestle into perdition], being disobedient [refusing to obey the voice of the Father]: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness [the ignorance and insanity that covers the now dead world] into his marvelous [eye opening] light [understanding and life];
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah [the dove, whose voices are the sign of the end reached] prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s [dagah] belly [the source of the agitation of humanity, the evil intention, below the surface of men’s words, to gain and keep power],
2 And said, I cried by reason of my affliction [tsarah – this tribulation] unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell [sheol] cried I, and you heard my voice.
3 For you had cast me into the deep [this full circuit into understanding], in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all your billows and your waves passed over me [‘abar – to bring me from death into life again].
4 Then I said, I am cast out of your sight [no longer seeing as you see]; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains [to the lowest degeneration of the earth ruled by tyrants in power over church and state]; the earth with her bars was about me forever: yet have you brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto you, into your holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto you with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that [to open my mouth when You call] that I have vowed [the mission on which we are sent]. Salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus] is of the LORD [Jehovah manifesting His salvation in our flesh].
10 And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land [where this word of LORD isn’t yet heard].

Romans 4
13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith [acting, hearing the LORD’s voice and obeying His commands, in the moment].
14 For if they which are of the law [the written word, the spirit of which is always corrupt in the hands of those it is left to be protected in pure form] be heirs, faith [hearing the LORD’s voice that comes to interrupt the strays and correct them back on His course] is made void, and the promise [of this salvation, His promised rescue] made of none effect:
15 Because the law [in man’s hands] works wrath: for where no law is [when a state of nature exists, without any pure law], there is no transgression [only consequence]. [Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law {restoring it to its holy place in pure form}.]
16 Therefore it [receiving the LORD at His interruption and correction] is of faith, that it might be by grace [the free gift given – to those who receive or refuse it]; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed [who do receive it]; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of [hearing the LORD’s voice and following His commands, as did] Abraham; who is the father of us all [who receive this promise [now at His appearing and kingdom],
17 (As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations,) before him [in the LORD’s presence] whom he believed [and acted], even God, who quickens the dead [to life], and calls [brings to light] those things which be not [yet seen] as though they were [always there, prepared, waiting for His revelation].
18 Who against hope [stated in His promise] believed in hope [of receiving it when it comes], that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall your seed be. [Genesis 22:17 That in blessing I will bless you {with this gift}, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore {when humanity reaches this appointed time, this limit, where the proud waves of the wicked are stopped}; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies {holding humanity in death and hell}; 18 And in your seed {who receive the promise by faith} shall all the nations of the earth be blessed {by this same gift of light: synonymously life and understanding} because you have obeyed {shama’} my voice.]
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God [who manifests Himself in things the unfaithful thinks are impossible];
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our LORD from the dead;
25 Who was delivered for [because of] our offences [paraptoma – the degeneration of understanding the Spirit in the law], and was raised again for our justification [to restore this understanding through judgment].

Here Him, not me.

Romans 5
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our LORD Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace [this gift of light] wherein we stand [and live], and rejoice in hope of the glory of God [revealed to us, and in us].
3 And not only so, but we glory [know He is presence with us] in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation works patience;
4 And patience [waiting for Him to finish His short work upon the earth], experience; and experience[ing Him in His word and work], hope:
5 And hope [knowing He will finish it] make not ashamed [we will not be disappoint because we will reach the end He promises]; because the love of God is shed abroad [ekphuo – through springing forth from good ground] in our hearts [minds] by the Holy Ghost [the LORD with us, working and speaking unknown to reveal Himself to us, in us] which is given unto us. [One of the three times the word phuo appears is in Luke 8:8, saying, “And other fell on good ground, and sprang up {phuo}, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.”]
6 For when we were yet without strength [understanding by which we rise to life], in due time Christ died [to give us this understanding] for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died [and came here to hell where all are held in death] for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood [the sacrifice necessary to bring this message, manifesting therein the Father’s identity], we shall be saved from wrath through him [which comes upon those who refuse correction and continue into the consequence of going their own way].
10 For if, when we were enemies [opposing Him here in hell], we were reconciled [katallasso – the change away from corruption] to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled [katallasso – changed away from corruption], we shall be saved by his life [risen here in hell to free us by His truth]. [1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed {allasso}, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling {of stars to light} of an eye {by seeing as the LORD sees}, at the last trump {this voice of His archangel}: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed {allasso}. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.]
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God [realizing His presence with us] through our LORD Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement [katallage – this needed adjustment].
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned [hamartano – strayed from the course to this goal and were on a trajectory that would miss the target]:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law [only consequence, missing the promised end].
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure [the first man of this new heaven and earth] of him that was to come [I Am].
15 But not as the offence [paraptoma], so also is the free gift [shed upon all]. For if through the offence [paraptoma] of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in my flesh], has abounded unto many [to be manifested in their flesh; I and the children the LORD has given me: His ONE BODY].
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift [not by one who is missing the mark]: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences [paraptoma] unto justification.
17 For if by one man’s offence [paraptoma] death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence [paraptoma] of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life [understanding and light].
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience [to the commands of the LORD] of one [I have been sent for this purpose, this is my mission] shall many be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence [paraptoma] might [not receiving correction] abound. But where sin abounded, grace [this gift, the full circuit, the LORD’s long suffering, that brings victory over death and hell] did much more abound [bringing the correction]:
21 That as sin has reigned unto death, even so might grace reign [the gift now exalted above all the words of corruption] through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our LORD.

The word katallage, meaning “exchange (figuratively, adjustment), i.e. restoration to (the divine) favor,” appears two other times, in 2 Corinthians 5. In the same chapter the word katallasso also appears three times (of six total uses).

2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle [our flesh] were dissolved, we have a building of God, a [spirit] house [the OND BODY] not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. [1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the LORD from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the {mortal} image of the earthy, we shall also bear the {immortal} image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot {without a living spirit, quickened in our dead flesh} inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption {of the flesh} inherit incorruption {of the Spirit}. 51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all {in the flesh} be changed {allasso}, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling {of stars to light} of an eye {by seeing as the LORD sees}, at the last trump {this voice of His archangel}: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised {their dead flesh brought to life} incorruptible, and we shall be changed {allasso}. 53 For this corruptible {flesh} must put on {be clothed upon with} incorruption, and this mortal {flesh} must put on {be clothed upon with} immortality. 54 So when this corruptible {flesh} shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal {flesh} shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.]
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house [in the LORD ONE incorruptible BODY] which is from heaven:
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 For we that are in this [flesh] tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5 Now he that has wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also has given unto us the earnest of [the deposit, of Himself risen from the dead, alive in] the Spirit.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home [endemeo – bound to this evil generation] in the body [soma – in the corrupt body], we are absent [ekdemos – by being joined being joined with that body] from [apo – away from] the LORD:
7 (For we walk by faith [believing the LORD is alive in us], not by sight [the temporal, outward appearance]:)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent [ekdemeo – by being joined with the LORD] from the body [soma – not part of the corrupt body], and to be present [endemeo – at home] with the LORD [dwelling in Him, and He in us].
9 Wherefore we labor, that, whether present [endemeo] or absent [ekdemeo], we may be accepted of [euarestos – we may be made well by agreement with] him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment [mercy] seat of Christ [Jonah 2:8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.]; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the LORD, we persuade men [to agree with Him, that they be not consumed by the own corrupt understanding]; but we are made manifest unto [phaneroo – rendering apparent] God [in us]; and I trust also are made manifest [phaneroo – we render His presence in us] in your consciences [suneidesis – your co-perspective, your agreement with Him, seeing as He sees].
12 For we commend [suniemi – introduce, establish] not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf [realizing He is manifesting His presence in us, through us], that you may have somewhat to answer them which glory in [their outward, temporal] appearance, and not in heart [His mind given to us, by which He lives in us and we in Him].
13 For whether we be beside ourselves [existemi – astounded at this revelation, still not understanding the difference between reality and man’s delusions: insanity], it is to God [to bring you to His understanding, at His will]: or whether we be sober [sophroneo – sane], it is for your cause [that thought us He may work His will].
14 For the love of Christ constrains us [sunecho – holds us together]; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead [needing to hear His word, by which man lives]:
15 And that he died for all [to bring this life to us], that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but [denying themselves, live] unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh [the outward appearance]: yea, though we have known Christ after [He was manifested in] the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more [by His flesh].
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ [and Christ in him], he is a new creature: old [dead] things are passed away; behold, all things [by His Spirit working and speaking unknown in the flesh] are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who has reconciled [katallasso – changed us by putting down the power of corruption] us to himself by Jesus Christ [Jehovah manifesting Himself in the flesh, to rescue us from ourselves], and has given to us the ministry [diakonia] of reconciliation [katallage];
19 To wit [hos – In this manner], that God was [is] in Christ, reconciling [katallasso] the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation [katallage].
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though [hos – in this manner] God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be you reconciled [katallasso] to God.
21 For he has made him to be sin [here in scandalous flesh] for us, who [before his corrupted flesh] knew no sin; that we might be made [as I have] the righteousness of God in him.

The word diakonia, rendered “ministry” in verse 18 above, is said to mean “attendance (as a servant, etc.); figuratively (eleemosynary) aid, (official) service (especially of the Christian teacher, or technically of the diaconate).” The word konia means to whiten, and dia means the channel through which it comes, above telling us the course adjustment(katallage) comes through whitening, purity by which we see God, not as man sees, but with His eyes seeing the unseen and eternal.

1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2 (For the life [light and understanding] was manifested, and we have seen it [in the flesh], and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us [in His son, and the children given to him];)
3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy [realizing His presence in this manner] may be full.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light [understanding and life], and in him is no darkness [ignorance] at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness [in ignorance of His presence with us, in us], we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light [His understanding given], as [hos – in the same manner] he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin [no corruption that needs to be washed away, whitened, by His word], we deceive [planao] ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

1 John 2
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation [hilasmos, with affinity to hileos, equivalent of the Hebrew word calach, referring us to Exodus 34:9 saying, “And he {Moses} said, If now I have found grace in your sight, O LORD, let my LORD, I pray you, go among us; for it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon {calach} our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.” And speaking of when all will, by His teaching, know the LORD, saying in Jeremiah 31:34, “And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the LORD: for I will forgive {calach – hileos in Hebrews 8:12} their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”] for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keeps [tereo – guards from corruption] his word, in him truly is the love [agape – leading men out of darkness, by giving the uncorrupted word as received] of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that says he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked [in the same manner].
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning.
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shines.
9 He that says he is in the light [has this understanding], and hates [refuses to give it to] his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling [skandalon] in him [not thinking the LORD speaking from the flesh is scandalous].
11 But he that hate his brother is in darkness, and walketh [his own way is] in darkness, and knows not whither he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake [to make His identity known].
13 I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because you have known the Father [manifested in His voice].
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one [the devils among us opposing and resisting the LORD’s work through us, in us].
15 Love not the [current corrupt] world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides forever.
18 Little children, it is the last time [‘achariyth in Hebrew]: and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But you have an unction [chrisma – an anointing] from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce [planao – deceive] you.
27 But the anointing [this word and calling] which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear [phaneroo – is rendered apparent], we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one that does righteousness is born of him.

Psalms 139
1 O LORD, you have searched me, and known me.
2 You know my down-sitting and my uprising, you understand my thought afar off [rachowq – this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men in power].
3 You compasses my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue [that is good, except for Your words], but, lo, O LORD, you know it altogether.
5 You have beset me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from your spirit? or whither shall I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning [rising by this light you have given me], and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night [revealing this time when ignorance covers the earth] shall be light [shall be understood] about me.
12 Yea, the darkness [men’s ignorance] hides not from you; but the night shineth [is by You given understanding] as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you.
13 For you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.
15 My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are your thoughts unto me, O God! how significant is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you.
19 Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, you bloody men.
20 For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate you? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against you?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

30 June – 3 July 2024

And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

The above, in which the LORD begins today, is Daniel 8:25, speaking of the one who embodies Satan, the leader of the antichrist movement: the rebellion against God and all that is good. He is said to “stand up against the Prince of princes,” the coming king, engaged in this battle to retake the throne.

When this satanic figure is said to “magnify” himself in his own mind, the word is gadal, meaning he exalts himself above God’s presence in the Prince, and does it by “peace,” from the word shalvah, meaning “security (genuine or false):–abundance, peace(-ably), prosperity, quietness.”

As we know, this word describes the enemies (and their leaders) among us as our friends, neighbors, and brethren (like Esau), who are stealthily warring against us, our better ideas (culture), and our nation as constituted.

We know (from verse 26) the time described is “of the evening and the morning,” which tells of the darkness (mass ignorance of God’s presence) coming and of understanding returning after the vision is shut up, “for it shall be for many days.”

The time is expressly spoken of, first in verse 19, and after in verse 23. Before reading the following passage, remember all the meaning therein has been sealed (as the LORD proclaimed it would be), always present but unknown in the darkness, in the furnace of the earth, which Abraham saw, held (in men’s ignorance and given false meanings from their imaginations) behind the gates of hell in the belly of the earth.

Daniel 8
15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai [the river of Elam, carrying the LORD’s written word through eternity – said to mean “my leaders (mighties),” in whose voices Daniel heard the LORD’s presence unfolding], which called, and said, Gabriel [meaning “warrior of God” and “man of God”], make this man to understand the vision.
17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and [realizing it was the presence of the LORD manifested] fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end [qets – now when the light returnes] shall be the vision [mar’eh – it shall come into view: its meaning will appear].
18 Now as he was speaking [from the written word, the LORD’s power working in my mind] with me, I [realized I] was in a deep sleep [radam – the time Abraham saw would come; as was Jonah before he realized he was in the belly of hell] on my face [paniym – present] toward the ground [‘erets – in the earth]: but he touched me, and set me upright.
19 And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness] of the indignation [za’am – which ends in the destruction of the wicked]: for at the time appointed [mow’ed – the time of the “congregation,” the gathering of the LORD’s ONE BODY] the end [qets] shall be.
20 The ram [Abraham saw] which you saw having two horns [caught in the thicket, powers bound together] are the kings of Media [over the people caught in the middle of the time between then and now] and Persia [and over all purity, uncorrupted truth, ending it].
21 And the rough [sa’iyr – the devil, as Esau, enemies among us at war with us, neighbors and brethren, calling it peace] goat [misleading the people of God’s promise] is the king of Grecia [yavah – whose effervescing produced the next four kingdoms, the children of Edom]: and the great horn [power to rule] that is between his eyes [seeing the ways into darkness] is the first [chief] king.
22 Now that being broken [shabar – this is the end of understanding; referring us to its used in Job 38:10 & 15, when understanding was taken from the earth, and darkness reigned until the end, when it’s withheld from the wicked, until the morning {boqer}], whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation [the four sons of Esau], but not in his power.
23 And in the latter time [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness] of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king [this is Obama, the fifth child of Esau, see Genesis 36 below] of fierce [‘az – this is the pattern repeated in a direct reference to Rueben, Simeon, and Levi, as described in Genesis 49: 3 & 7; {Reuben} as the son of perdition and those who followed what effervesced from his putting himself in his father’s place; see below] countenance [paniym – Satan’s presence in Obama in these patterns], and understanding dark sentences [chiydah – the ways into darkness, as a child of Lucifer, the false light, “Rules For Radicals”], shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power [but in the power of Satan manifested in him]: and he shall destroy wonderfully [all wondering who it is destroying], and shall prosper [by deception], and practice [the “Rules” he understands], and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people [see Deuteronomy 32:36, which speaks of when the LORD sees His people’s power is gone and none are left with understanding, He appears].
25 And through his policy [sekel – His understanding; the evil decrees by which tyrants now rule the world] also he shall cause craft [mirmar – deception] to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [gadal – exalt] himself in his heart, and by [claims of] peace [masking his war of deception against God and His people] shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes [I Am]; but he shall be broken without hand.
26 And the vision of the evening [understanding leaving for many days] and the morning [boqer – it returning as the light of this new day] which [which is the subject] was told is true: wherefore [until the morning] shut you up [in men’s ignorance] the vision; for it shall be for many days [the end now reached].
27 And I Daniel [the judgment of God] fainted, and was sick [became without strength] certain days; afterward I rose up [quwm – in this resurrection], and did the king’s business [the work, the course, the LORD has set before us]; and I was astonished at [shamem – realizing these things now seen in] the vision, but none understood it.

Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days [‘achariyth – in these last days of darkness].
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear [shama’ – and obey the voice of the LORD], you sons of Jacob; and hearken [shama’ – and obey] unto Israel your father.
3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
4 Unstable [pachaz – ebullition, effervescence, “recklessness, wantonness, unbridled license, frothiness”] as water [this tells of the advice of the serpent, as one of God’s children, with unbridled license, recklessly reinterpreting His word], you shall not excel [not remain among God’s risen people]; because you went up to your father’s bed [went into the women – God’s people who have His words]; then defiled [corrupted] you it: he went up to my couch [took God’s place among His sleeping people].
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren [names meaning those hearing and joining this teaching that replaced God’s]; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
6 O my soul, come not you into their secret [their hidden counsel, words of darkness]; unto their assembly, my honor, be not you united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a wall [by this they brought death on all man, and removed the protection found in the garden].
7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel [speaking of the continual scattering of God’s people into many sects].
8 Judah [the leaders God chooses], you are he whom your brethren shall praise: your hand shall be in the neck of your enemies; your father’s children shall bow down before you.
9 Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, you are gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet [speaking of the Davidic king line], until Shiloh come [meaning peace and tranquility – the one {Joseph’s seed – the one separated} from who it will again flow – see Ezekiel 21:27, overturning it until he comes whose right it is]; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine [this speaking the lowly {Zechariah 9:9}, God’s elect remnant, outside the established sects, bound until Shiloh comes, when they are loosed]; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

As we know, the birthright to the throne is in the tribe of Joseph. (1 Chronicles 5:1 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but forasmuch as he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. 2 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph’s:)

Genesis 49
13 Zebulun [the lowly raised up at the LORD’s coming] shall dwell at the haven of the sea [safe from this evil generation]; and he shall be for a haven of ships [and saving any who come to the LORD through them]; and his border shall be unto Zidon [they will be the end of those, the corrupt institutions of church and state, who’ve hunted souls].
14 Issachar [through him will come the reward – the fruitful bough] is a strong ass [the LORD’s people, now become His goodly horse in the battle – Zechariah 10:3] couching down between two burdens:
15 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
16 Dan [the judge – speaking of strength returned and the righteous judgment of the world begins] shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way [as a serpent raised as a standard on a pole {nec}, as the son of man must be lifted], an adder in the path, that bites the horse heels [this is the heel bruised in the judgment, meaning the serpents among the people, are rendered without effect when the corruption they picked up on their journey through time is washed away by these life-giving waters], so that his rider shall fall backward [so the body of Christ will return to the place from which she fell – see, in Isaiah 28:13, what causes them to fall backward, saying “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.”].
18 (I have waited for your salvation [yshuw’ah – Joshua, Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh], O LORD [Jehovah].)
19 Gad [the LORD’s army, overcome until their return to Him], a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
20 Out of Asher [happy] his bread shall be fat [happiness returns when the word of God prospers], and he shall yield royal dainties [ma’adan – speaking of the royal line again raised up – referring us to its use in Proverbs 29:17, telling us this is when rest returns, when we, by correction, give the Father “delight”].
21 Naphtali [by this wrestling – unknowingly with the LORD] is a hind let loose: he gives goodly words [our tongue {the word of God} is loosed and we teach it as received directly from Him].
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well [a tree of life by these waters, the written word of God]; whose branches run over the wall [the wall of lies men have created and teach]:
23 The archers [ba’al – the gods of this world whose teaching has blinded all from seeing the Father in the son, the seed of the woman who brings forth the man child – see Revelation 12:17, saying “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”] have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow 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:)
25 Even by the God of your father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies under [the deep meaning that lies below the surface], blessings of the breasts, and of the womb [seed, the son]:
26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors [all those who have come before us, and were only blessed with part of what is perfected in our return to the LORD] unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
27 Benjamin [the right hand of God’s power, this last generation that becomes the first born of the woman: Rachel] shall ravin as a wolf [shall tear in pieces the wolf that has scattered the one flock]: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. [These last words refer us to Maher-shalal-hash-baz, the son spoken of in beginning Isaiah 8, his name meaning he hastes to the spoil and is quick to the prey. He is the son foretold as coming by the virgin, later called Immanuel, as the advice, teaching, of the LORD comes, when men have formed a confederacy listening to the dead gods of the world.]

Genesis 36
1 Now these are the generations of Esau [from ‘ashoq, ‘ashowq, meaning tyrant and deceiver], who is Edom [the same as ‘adam, both meaning red, which is the origin of the devil’s depicted red color].
2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan [nations Israel later conquers and inhabits]; Adah [‘adah {‘ada’} – as used nine times by Daniel, of whose dominion will and will not continue] the daughter of Elon [the mighty] the Hittite [from chathath – who descended into confusion and fear], and Aholibamah [who inhabit the places that have risen over the earth] the daughter of Anah [whose solutions: answers] the daughter of Zibeon [colors – were false divinations, as light divided] the Hivite [and had dominion in all their cities];
3 And Bashemath [fragrance: their perception] Ishmael’s [producing solutions God heard] daughter, sister of Nebajoth [heights – ideas of men {that have dominion as tyrants over other men} that were {are} exalted in the earth].
4 And Adah [whose dominion will not remain] bare to Esau [tyrants and oppressors] Eliphaz [whose god is gold: wealth plundered by deception: false interpretation as justification]; and Bashemath [and this perception: perspective] bare Reuel [dominated in many forms among the people of God, causing endless agitation, strife, and war];
5 And Aholibamah [those who by this means have risen into power over the earth] bare Jeush [those who “hurry to the aid” of others, with this underlying purpose of plunder], and Jaalam [concealed: are their motives therein their false claims of aid], and Korah [ultimately from quwr, meaning he is thrown forth, into this light, morning, to destroy all these traits in leadership now ruling the earth {the fifth kingdom, now led by him, Obama}; Korah meaning bald {removing ideas that have grown from the head} and “ice,” describing all these traits reserved in him, to be taken out of the earth they rules from his place of concealment]: these are the sons of Esau [tyrants and deceivers throughout history], which were born unto him in the land of Canaan [the earth God’s people will now inherit].
6 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country [‘erets – the earth at this time] from the face of [paniym – away from the presence of the God manifested with] his brother Jacob.
7 For their riches [their evil ideas and the wealth they accumulated thereby, separating them from God] were more than that they might dwell together; and the land [‘erets – this new earth wherein dwells God’s righteousness] wherein they were strangers [wherein their ideas are far from God’s] could not bear them because of their cattle [miqneh – all the people who choose to remain without the LORD’s Spirit, who they possess and hold in hell].
8 Thus dwelt Esau [the place of tyrants and deceivers is] in mount Seir [se’iyr – the high places that have risen over the old and corrupt earth, where devils possessed by Satan rule]: Esau is Edom [the tyrants and deceivers are devils depicted in red].

Today (3 July 2024), from this point of realization, the LORD takes us to Ezekiel 21, specifically focusing on verse 22. This verse speaks of this moment when choices are being made by those in power, which leads to their overturning and lifting the lowly. This overturning is by the LORD’s sword drawn and furbished, ending the presumptuous ideas created in the minds of the ignorant.

Ezekiel 21
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man [I Am], set your face [paniym – My presence manifested] toward Jerusalem, and drop your word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land [‘adamah – this corrupted generation of My people] of Israel,
3 And say to the land [‘adamah] of Israel, Thus says the LORD; Behold, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword [this word from My mouth which you refuse to hear and obey] out of his sheath, and will cut off [karath] from you the righteous and the wicked.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off [karath] from you the righteous and the wicked [who men are listening to and obeying in My stead], therefore shall my sword [this word from My mouth] go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south [those looking for this sun rising, the morning: understanding] to the north [those choosing to remain in darkness]:
5 That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
6 Sigh therefore, you son of man, with the breaking of your loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes. [Woe to this world and the evil figs, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels {his messengers} were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them {with Me}. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.]
7 And it shall be, when they say unto you, Wherefore sigh you? that you shall answer, For the tidings; because it comes: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and shall be brought to pass, says the LORD God.

Isaiah 45
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth [who by choice remain ignorant of My presence]: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek you me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you that are escaped of the nations [those who refuse to know Me]: they have no knowledge that set up the [dead] wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Tell you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared [shama’ – where it was first heard and obeyed] this from ancient time [qadem – the first light rising in Eden]? who has told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto [panah – turn your heads toward] me, and be you saved, all the ends of the earth [ending the old beginning the new]: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed [not reaching the end they have foretold and sought].
25 In [turning toward] the LORD shall all the seed of Israel [all who enter this promise] be justified, and shall glory.

2 Corinthians 3
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face [Hiding the LORD’s presence in him], that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished [the veil of flesh covering His presence manifested in His word, written and spoken]:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ [the son, children, in who He reveals Himself, declared in the same word written and spoken].
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart [minds blinded to His presence therein].
16 Nevertheless when it [all heads] shall turn to [hear and obey] the LORD, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the LORD is that Spirit [unknown working until He is realized]: and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty [freeing us from the gods of this world who’ve blinded to this glorious good news all those they possess].
18 But we all, with open face [understanding His presence is manifested in the flesh] beholding as in a glass [mirror] the glory of the LORD, are changed into the same image from [seeing Him is those speaking His word] glory to glory [manifested in us in the same manner], even as by the Spirit of the LORD [working unknown to reveal Himself].

2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things [the darkness men have added] of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness [creating images that are not true], nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth [of God in us] commending [suniemi – to exhibit and introduce] ourselves [heautow – Himself] to every man’s conscience [suniedesis – producing the same pure perspective] in the sight [enopion – as the presence] of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not [the LORD is with us, in us working to reveal Himself present], lest the light [this understanding] of the glorious gospel of Christ [the LORD revealing His presence in our flesh by speaking His word as received], who is the [true] image of God, should shine [this co-perspective] unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake [Jehovah’s, the Father’s, Salvation manifested].
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine [the understanding to be sent] out of darkness [from the place where it became hidden, from this word of which men have become ignorant], has shined [is sent as light] in our hearts [into our minds], to give the light [understanding] of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face [the manifested presence] of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure [this gift from the Father] in earthen vessels [our flesh], that the excellency of the power may be [understood to be] of God, and not of us.
8 We are [because we deliver this message as received, while declaring it is His presence manifested with us, in us] troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the LORD Jesus, that the life also of Jesus [in this resurrection of the dead] might be made manifest in our body.

Ezekiel 21
8 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished [marat – meaning “to polish; by implication, to make bald (the head), to gall (the shoulder); also, to sharpen”]:
10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemns [ma’ac – takes away] the rod [the scepter – to rule] of my son[s], as every tree [the righteous and the wicked].
11 And he has given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer [harag – as Gideon, the hewer of the mighty, as at the rock of Oreb: from where darkness flowed].
12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon your thigh.
13 Because it is a trial, and what if the sword [this word as fire from My mouth] contemn [ma’ac – takes away] even the rod [the scepter – to rule]? it shall be no more, says the LORD God. [See verse 26 & 27 below]
14 You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite your hands together. and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men [the powers who’ve led the earth into hell] that are slain, which entered [as did Jael – Judges 4:21] into their privy chambers [chadar].
15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates [holding humanity in hell], that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up [ma’ot – only used here, from ma’at, meaning to pare off, as in shaving the head to make it bald] for the slaughter.
16 Go you one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever your face [My presence] is set [ya’ad – as two baskets of figs at this appointed time, “the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.”].
17 I will also smite my hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.

The word ya’ad only appears this once in Ezekiel and three other times in Jeremiah, after it appears in Jeremiah 24:1, speaking of where the evil and good figs are “set.”

Jeremiah 47
1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines [the invading army among us], before that Pharaoh [the tyrants now oppressing God’s people] smote Gaza [from ‘az, the word used in Genesis 49:3 above to describe Reuben’s “power,” speaking of the sons of perdition, false prophets and false teachers, who put themselves the Father’s place].
2 Thus says the LORD; Behold, waters [words of tyrants and false prophets] rise up out of the north [darkness: ignorance], and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
3 At the noise [qowl – the voices of these men] of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots [carrying them into this battle of which they are ignorant], and at the rumbling of his wheels [galgal – the wheels Ezekiel saw, which are the word of God sent forward in time, understanding held therein, sent to give understanding, in which process is the unfold of the LORD’s manifested presence], the fathers [who sent the word] shall not look back [panah – shall not turn their heads, their minds’ understanding] to their children for feebleness of hands [because they refuse to receive it as the work of the LORD];
4 Because of the day [this time of light] that comes to spoil all the Philistines [the invading army among us, who deny the LORD’s presence], and to cut off [karath] from Tyrus [the false rock: the false church] and Zidon [who hunt souls and carry them away into hell] every helper [helping in this evil] that remains: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines [the spoilers], the remnant of the country of Caphtor [the crown – the spiritually wicked sitting in seats of power over the earth].
5 Baldness [removing their ideas from the head, places of leadership] is come upon Gaza [the false prophets and false teachers]; Ashkelon [the infamous, in this trial in these fires] is cut off [damah – are silenced and destroyed] with [from] the remnant of their valley [the lowly]: how long will you cut yourself [gadal – how long will you assemble yourselves as an army against the LORD and His people]?
6 [And the ignorant say] O you sword of the LORD [this word of the LORD they refuse], how long will it be ere you be quiet? put up yourself into your scabbard [ta’ar – put Your razor into its sheath], rest, and be still [damam – be silent].
7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD has given it a charge against Ashkelon [the infamous], and against the sea shore [this place humanity has reached, at the swelling of Jordan, where the proud words of the dead are stopped]? there has he appointed [ya’ad] it.

Jeremiah 49
14 I have heard a rumor [shmuw’ah – heard the voice] from the LORD, and [with the word heard as the LORD’s] an ambassador [tsiyr – upon whose words heads turn] is sent unto the heathen [God’s people who haven’t known Him], saying, Gather you together, and come against her [Bozrah – the fortress, tyrany and deception, of Edom], and rise up to the battle.
15 For, lo, I will make you small [of little power] among the heathen [My ignorant people who haven’t known Me], and despised among men [‘adam – the people I Am creating].
16 Your terribleness [your fear of the heathen, the men who despise you] has deceived you, and the pride of your heart [your pride in your power to deceive], O you that dwell in the clefts of the rock [your fortress, from where your deceptions flow], that hold the height of the hill [the high places, Seir, risen over the earth]: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle [saying you are risen there by your understanding], I will bring you down from there, says the LORD.
17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goes by it shall be astonished [at your ignorance and deception revealed], and shall hiss at [drawing the world’s attention to] all the plagues thereof.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom [in flames] and Gomorrah [a perpetual ruin] 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 [the LORD] shall come up like a lion [roaring] from the swelling of Jordan [against those swelled with pride in their words that carried all the world in its descent into death] against the habitation of the strong [the spiritually wicked sitting in power over the earth]: but I will suddenly make him [the wicked] run away from her [My people when I have given them the strength of this understanding]: and who is [declared by Me] a chosen man, that I may appoint [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] over her [My people]? for who is like me [and stands with Me against evil]? and who will appoint [ya’ad] me the time? and who is that shepherd [ra’ah – seeing as I see] that will stand [‘amad] before me [paniym – as My presence manifested]?
20 Therefore hear [shama’ – and obey] the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman [the place where understanding should be found, but isn’t, and instead devils reside therein]: Surely the least of the flock [I Am, without any worldly power] shall draw them out [into the light]: surely he shall make their [the devils’ in power] habitations [hell] desolate with them.
21 The earth [‘erets] is moved [ra’ash – bringing the dead bones of the ONE BODY together, when men, knowing words are the way into heaven or hell, are cautious about whose words they listen to and obey] at the noise [qowl – the voice of Jehovah heard as His voice] of their fall [shaking the wicked from His new earth], at the cry the noise [qowl – the voices] thereof was [when the Egyptians were overflowed] heard in the Red sea [at their destruction].

Hebrews 12
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But 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 [the LORD’s messengers speaking the words He’s given],
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 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 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 [receive this gift spoken], whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Micah 6
1 Hear [shama’ – and obey] you now what the LORD says; Arise, contend [riyb – with My word] you before the mountains [the power of this corrupt world], and let the hills hear your voice.
2 Hear [shama’ – and obey] you, O mountains [governments of the world in church and state], the LORD’s controversy [riyb], and you strong [corrupt] foundations of the earth: for the LORD has a controversy [riyb] with his people, and he will plead with [yakach – meaning “to be right (i.e. correct); reciprocal, to argue; causatively, to decide, justify or convict”] Israel.
3 O my people [whose inheritance is as I promised], what have I done unto you? and wherein have I wearied you? testify against me.
4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of servants; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim [when he decided {bowed} to speak only the words God put in his mouth] unto Gilgal [when the LORD turned the curse of the enemies into a blessing]; that you may know the righteousness of the LORD.
6 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself [kaphaph] before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? [Hosea 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take {correct} away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.]
7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require [darash] of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9 The LORD’s voice cries unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see your name [the LORD’s identity alive in me, in us]: hear [shama’ – obey] you the rod [of correction from His mouth], and who has appointed [ya’ad] it.
10 Are there yet the treasures [ideas and words they falsely claim have value] of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
11 Shall I count them [their abomination they put in place of the holy] pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of [their] deceitful weights?
12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Therefore also will I make you sick in smiting you, in making you desolate because of your sins.
14 You shall eat [choosing their words over this word from the mouth of God], but not be satisfied [never saying it’s enough – ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of God with us]; and your casting down shall be in the midst of you; and you [your false words of salvation] shall take hold, but shall not deliver [not save anyone that obeys them]; and that which you [say you will thereby] deliver will I give up to the sword [this word of God they refuse, when what I have warned against comes, by your choice].
15 You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall tread the olives, but you shall not anoint you with oil; and sweet wine, but shall not drink wine.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept [1 Kings 16:25 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him], and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their counsels; that I should make you a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing [drawing attention to them and their chosen self-destruction]: therefore you shall bear the reproach [cherpah] of my people [that do choose Me].

Jeremiah 50
33 Thus says the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead [riyb] their cause [riyb], that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 A sword is upon [this word of God is against] the Chaldeans [who’ve used their deceptive words to manipulate and control humanity into death and hell], says the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon [the confusion that ruled the world into insanity], and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
36 A sword is upon [this word of God is against] the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon [this word of God is against] her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
37 A sword is upon [this word of God is against their army] their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people [an enemy army] that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword [the words of the enemy] is upon her treasures [corrupting this understanding]; and they shall be robbed.
38 A drought [for hearing this word of God, and truth in general] is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images [creations of men, opinions replacing truth, delusions they can’t tell from reality], and they are mad [insane] upon their idols.
39 Therefore the wild beasts [those without My Spirit] of the desert with the wild beasts [those without My Spirit] of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls [who hunt the souls of the ignorant] shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; neither shall it be dwelt in from [the old, corrupt, and evil] generation to [the new] generation [I Am creating].
40 As God overthrew Sodom [in flames] and Gomorrah [ruin] and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein [the old and corrupt].
41 Behold, a people shall come from the north [out of darkness], and a great nation [that hasn’t known Me], and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts [ends] of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel [‘akzariy – brave], and will not show mercy [to those who haven’t shown mercy, who observe lying vanities]: their voice shall roar like the sea [against the swelling of Jordan], and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in [battle] array, like a [ONE] man to the battle, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 The king of Babylon has heard [shama’] the report [shema’] of them [the voice of the LORD heard from His people who obey His commands and prevail], and his [the king of confusion – Obama and his idiot son Brandon] hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail [now understanding what, a man born again, they brought forth].
44 Behold, he [the LORD] shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint [ya’ad] me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
45 Therefore hear [shama’ – and obey] you the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock [I Am] shall draw them out [into this light]: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46 At the noise [His voice] of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved [ra’ash – shaken], and the cry is heard [shama’ – is obeyed] among the nations [those who haven’t known Him until now].

Ezekiel 21
18 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
19 Also, you son of man, appoint you two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose you a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites [this word upon the great men of the old world, who exalt themselves above God], and to Judah in [New Heavenly] Jerusalem the defenced [where God’s elect are protected in peace].
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use [qacam] divination [qecem]: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images [men created], he looked in the liver [the dark sentences of evil].
22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint [evil] captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates [of New Heavenly Jerusalem], to cast a mount, and to build a fort.
23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination [qacam] in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths [shbuw’ah]: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God; Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered [your sins unsealed], so that in all your doings your sins do appear [ra’ah – are in open sight]; because, I say, that you are come to remembrance, you shall be taken with the hand.
25 And you, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end [qets],
26 Thus says the LORD God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he [Shiloh, who is the shepherd and stone] come whose right it is [the seed of Joseph]; and I will give it him.
28 And you, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the LORD God concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say you, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering [baraq – the lightning from it]:
29 While they see vanity [worthlessness] unto you, while they divine [qacam] a lie unto you, to bring you upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end [qets].
30 Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge you in the place where you were created, in the land of your nativity.
31 And I will pour out my indignation [za’am] upon you, I will blow against you in the fire of my wrath, and deliver you into the hand of brutish men, and skillful to destroy.
32 You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land; you shall be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.

Psalms 42
A Maschil [an instruction] to the sons of Korah [the bald]
1 As the hart pant after the water brooks, so pants my soul after you, O God [for Your word].
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear [ra’ah – be seen] before [paniym – in the presence of] God?
3 My tears have been my meat [My sorrow is the deep meaning You have given me through Your word and leading] day and night [giving understanding of the treasure held there in ignorance], while they [those remaining in darkness] continually say unto me, Where is your God [not realizing Your presence is manifested herein]?
4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me [giving Your word as you have given it]: for I had [before] gone with the multitude [in ignorance], I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise [making you presence known], with a multitude that kept holyday [chagag – this promised feast day: this time of light given from heaven, the word from the mouth of God, by which man lives].
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted in me? hope you in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help [yshuw’ah – Jesus, His, Jehovah’s, Salvation manifested in me] of his countenance [paniym – revealing His presence].
6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember [zakar] you from the land [‘erets – the earth] of Jordan [carried by the words of the dead in the descent into death], and of the Hermonites [of Your sanctuary that is the Highest], from the hill Mizar [and purity seen there, upon which men put little value].
7 [From Your Highness] Deep [your understanding of this held in darkness] calls unto deep [these treasures from there revealed] at the noise [qowl – Your voice heard] of your waterspouts [the channel through which Your words come from heaven to earth]: all your waves [of water and light – in writing and through the aether] and your billows are gone over me.
8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time [of light, when understanding covers the earth], and in the night [when the earth is void of understanding] his song [His word repeated as received] shall be with me, and my prayer [conversation] unto the God of my life.
9 I will say unto God my rock [from whom this word flows], Why have you forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 As with a sword in my bones, my enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is your God?
11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? hope you in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health [yshuw’ah] of my countenance [paniym – Jesus present with me, alive in Me], and my [ONE] God.

Psalms 47
1 O clap your hands, all you people; shout unto God with the voice of [His and our] triumph.
2 For the LORD Most High is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
5 God is gone up with a shout [of His archangel, I Am], the LORD with [His voice as] the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing [these songs of] praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing you praises with [His] understanding.
8 God reigns over the heathen: God sits upon the throne of his holiness.
9 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.
