23 – 24 October 2024
O deliver not the soul of your turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of your poor forever.
The LORD begins today in Psalms 74:19 after I asked Him if there is a decisive conclusion that brings the epiphany. He begins His answer in the title verse.
The word rendered “turtledove” is towr, meaning “probably the same as 8447; a ring-dove, often (figuratively) as a term of endearment:–(turtle) dove.”
As we know, the dove, in almost all instances, represents the sign of the end reached. Logic and faith tell us that if the LORD promised a definitive end, there is one.
Suffer me again while I digress. I’m currently listening to Annie Jacobson’s book Phenomena. Its subject is the Government’s involvement in (studying and experimenting) the mind’s ability to communicate and manipulate supernaturally (the metaphysical ruling over the physical). I experience this “phenomenon” daily. It is this fact that fuels my faith, zeal, and long-suffering. You see, I do indeed know Him and, therefore, patiently and expectantly wait for His leading. I do as He commands when He commands. This is the purpose for which He’s sent me: to obey orders and accomplish the mission. Amen!
[The following several paragraphs are 25 October 2024 additions during final editing. This story is related to the above paragraph about ESP, and it really happened as described.
While out walking/running two days ago, listening to the above-mentioned book and in deep thought about the idea, knowing I experience it daily as a receiver, I pondered if I could also transmit. In my thoughts, knowing, remembering as I told myself to when I was a newborn, I was fully aware, and cognitive of myself and of all around me, I determined that a newly born child, free from the effects of disbelief would be the most likely able to connect with.
Based on this, I turned off the book and focused my thoughts on my 11-month-old grandson Bruce. I called him by name and told him I loved him. I told him it was Papa talking to him, to tell himself to remember this happening, and to tell his parents one day that Papa talked to him in this way. I said other things about the life ahead for him and all the children like him.
Yesterday afternoon I, my children, and grandchildren gathered at our airport bar and grill. While we were enjoying ourselves, eating and drinking, I heard Bruce, who hadn’t talked yet, saying Papa. I turned to his parents and said “he’s saying Papa.” They responded by saying he just started that a couple of days ago. When I pressed for exactly when he stated to say it, they said it was the afternoon before while they were riding somewhere. The time was exactly when I was talking to him.
This really happened, and I told the story to all my children who were present.]
The word towr is said to be from an identical word (8447) meaning “from 8446; a succession, i.e. a string or (abstractly) order:–border, row, turn.” The word it’s said to be from (8446) is tuwr, meaning “to meander (causatively, guide) about, especially for trade or reconnoitring:–chap(-man), sent to descry, be excellent, merchant(-man), search (out), seek, (e-)spy (out).”
Proverbs 22
1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
3 A prudent man foresees the evil, and hides himself: but the simple pass on and are punished.
4 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honor, and life.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that does keep his soul [from the trap of misleaders who twist and pervert truth] shall be far from them.
Amos 2
11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have you not returned unto me, says the LORD.
12 Therefore thus will I do unto you, O Israel: and because I will do this unto you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.
Philippians 2
1 If there be therefore any [ei tis – when a man] consolation [paraklesis – calls to you] in Christ [the LORD alive in my flesh], if any comfort [paramuthion – only appearing here, meaning this persuasive address] of love [agape – giving this word of the LORD as received], if any fellowship [koinania – joint participation] of the Spirit, if any bowels and [if in these is revealed the LORD’s] mercies,
2 Fulfil you my joy, that you be likeminded, having the same love [agape – giving the same word a received], being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name [Timothy – time of Theos] which is above every name: the word time {Tim} means “a value, i.e. money paid, or (concretely and collectively) valuables; by analogy, esteem (especially of the highest degree), or the dignity itself.” It is a name never given in my family. It is given by God {Theos}, intentionally telling of the “time” no man would know, and only my father knew. The LORD spoke of sending me long ago, revealing me in His time, this Day when His understanding covers the earth.]
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [Jehovah Salvation manifested in the flesh] is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed [in all ways obey], not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out [katergazomai – this is the LORD’s work in and through us: from the inside outward] your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputing:
15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights [understanding] in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause also do you joy, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the LORD Jesus to send Timotheus [Timothy – the time of God] shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state [when your obedience is fulfilled].
20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.
Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our report [shmuw’ah – who has heard these words as the voice of the LORD, as it is]? and to whom [but those who’ve heard it as such] is the arm of the LORD revealed? [1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe. & 19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?]
2 For he shall grow up before him [paniym – into His presence manifested before the eye or the world] as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground [‘erets – the earth without this word of God]: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from [paniym – hiding His presence meant to be revealed in us, and will be when awakened by] him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not [remember the meaning of the name Timothy, the name of the highest esteemed of God].
4 Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised [daka’] for our iniquities: the chastisement [correction] of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray [into apostacy]; we have turned every one to his own way [forgetting the only way is the LORD’s]; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep [Rachel – her child whose birthright is the throne, traveling, journeying, through the generations] before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment [as was Joseph, Rachel’s child]: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living [sent here into death and hell]: for the transgression of my people was he stricken [with them].
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise [daka’] him; he has put him to grief: when you [God’s people] shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he has poured out his soul unto [as a willing servant sent here into] death: and he was numbered with the transgressors [as I now Am]; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Psalms 74
1 O God, why have you cast us off forever? why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old; the rod of your inheritance, which you have redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein you have dwelt.
3 Lift up your feet [reveal the manner of Your rising] unto the perpetual desolations [masshuw’ah – only used here and in Psalms 73:18 where it’s defined as the end, the final condition of God’s people in these last days]; even all that the enemy has done wickedly [destroying all understanding] in the sanctuary.
4 Your enemies roar [as if they are speaking for the LORD] in the midst of your congregations; they set up their [false] ensigns for signs.
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 They have cast fire into your sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of your name to the ground.
8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues [and churches] of God in the land [‘erets – the earth].
9 We see not our [false] signs: there is no more any prophet [speaking this word of God]: neither is there among us any that knows how long.
10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
11 Why withdraw you your hand, even your right hand [revealing Your presence in Your power]? pluck it out of your bosom.
12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 You did divide the sea by your strength: you broke the heads of the dragons [who like serpents and whales were with wide open mouths devouring Your people] in the waters [with their words].
14 You broke the heads of leviathan [the rivers from whom flows false interpretations, by which Satan works in Your sanctuary] in pieces, and gave [this understanding of] him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 You did cleave [rightly divide] the fountain and the flood [of Your word]: you dried up mighty rivers [of the wicked].
16 The day [this time when light has come] is yours, the night [my people even while they remain ignorant of Me] also is yours: you have prepared the light and the sun [understanding to be sent unto the Church again].
17 You have set all the borders of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new]: you have made summer and winter [changing seasons].
18 Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed your name [Your identity of which they are ignorant].
19 O deliver not the soul of your turtledove [towr] unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of your poor [all God’s people without strength or power] forever.
20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark [ignorant] places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise your name.
22 Arise, O God, plead your own cause: remember how the foolish man reproached you daily.
23 Forget not the voice of your enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against you increase continually.
The affectionate (endearing) term towr leads us to its final two descriptive uses in Song (repeating things that should be repeated) of Solomon 2:12 and Jeremiah 8:7. In these passages, we are spoken of as birds (by this strength, His understanding) risen into heaven by/with the LORD.
Song of Solomon 2
10 My beloved spoke, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle [the dove, the sign of the expected end reached] is heard in our land [‘erets – this earth moment];
13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs [see Matthew 24:32 below], and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell [the fruit you now perceive present]. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
14 O my dove, that are in the clefts of the rock [this sanctuary from where the LORD’s voice flows], in the secret places of the stairs [this rising, entrance, into heaven], let me see your countenance [mar’eh – the reality that has now appeared, the epiphany], let me hear your voice; for sweet is your voice, and your countenance [mar’eh] is comely [na’veh – become beautiful in its time].
1 Thessalonians 2
1 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance [esodos] in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as you know, at Philippi, we were bold [confident] in our God [the person in us] to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which tries our hearts.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children:
8 So being affectionately desirous of [to have this gospel touch and change] you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls [the inner unseen person], because you were dear unto us.
9 For you remember, brethren, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children,
12 That you would walk worthy of God [renouncing “the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight 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, lest the light {understanding} of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2 Corinthians 4], who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us [exactly as here and now], you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works [as the power changing your minds] also in you that believe.
14 For you, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judah are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the LORD Jesus [as the false teachers and devils among us have, through their blinding corruption], and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak [this word of God, as received] to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath [the LORD’s vengeance in the same word, as is spoken of in Hebrews 10:30, quoting Deuteronomy 32::35 & 36] is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see [the LORD’s presence manifest in] your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan [the spirit in them working] hindered us.
19 For what is our hope [we wait for and fully expect], or joy [the LORD’s presence realized in you], or crown of rejoicing [when He is realized working and speaking in us]? Are not even you [who’ve received this word of God as His word, as it is] in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For you are our glory [when His presence is in you manifested] and joy [realized by you and those who through you hear and obey Him].
Friends, this ESP (Extra Sensory Perception, the realization of the metaphysical) is withheld (see Job 38:15 below) from the wicked who have faith in their blindness: seeing nothing, knowing nothing: incorrigibles refusing correction, leading humanity into destruction.
Job 38
6 Whereupon are the foundations [of this new earth] thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone [I Am] thereof;
7 When the morning stars [those shining as lights in the darkness, bringing this new day] sang together [repeating the words the LORD gave them], and all the sons of God shouted for joy [His presence revealed in them]?
8 Or who shut up the sea [humanity] with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9 When I made the cloud [where the elements of understanding are held after they left the earth] the garment thereof, and thick darkness [ignorance] a swaddling-band [a protective wrapping] for it,
10 And brake up for it my decreed [choq – this voice of the day of the LORD, the ONE Calling from the one calling] place, and set bars and doors [shutting it up until this moment],
11 And said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves [of wicked men swelled with hubris] be stayed?
12 Have you commanded the morning [this new heaven and earth] since your days; and caused the dayspring [this new day] to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends [kanaph] of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new], that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal [it is My signature pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment [of My righteousness].
15 And from the wicked their light [understanding] is withheld, and the high arm [the arrogant powers] shall be broken.
16 Have you entered into the springs of [waters flowing into] the sea [humanity at large]? or have you walked in the search of the depth [I’ve hidden therein]?
17 Have the gates of death been opened unto you [by the resurrection from there]? or have you seen the doors of [the mouths of the wicked, which cast] the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth [beginning to end, and beginning again] of the earth? declare if you know it all.
19 Where is the way where light [this understanding] dwells [with the Father in heaven]? and as for darkness [the ignorance of man], where is the place thereof [in hell],
20 That you could take it to the bound thereof [as I have], and that [if you could do these things] you would know the paths to the house thereof?
21 Know you it, because you were then born [when I created the plan]? or because the number of your days is great [here remaining always as the Chief Overseer of its execution, as I AM]?
22 Have you entered into the treasures of the snow [this word I reserved for this moment]? or have you seen the treasures of the hail [the same word now sent against the current corrupt crop of misleaders],
23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble [tsar], against the day of battle and war?
Matthew 24
27 For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines [phaino] even unto the west [shining this understanding upon all]; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcass [the dead body of Christ] is, there will the eagles [the fourth and final face of manifesting the unfolding presence of God in those risen into heaven with Him] be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened [the church institutions realized to be without this understanding], and the moon [civil government institution] shall not give her light [also without this knowledge of God], and the stars shall fall from heaven [God’s people also realized to be lacking this same light], and the powers of the heavens [the places where understanding should be and isn’t] shall be shaken [to shake the wicked from them]:
30 And then shall appear [phaino – this enlightening] the sign of the Son of man in heaven [risen with full understanding, in which the presence of the Father is perceived]: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn [realizing they are separated from the Father by the ignorance into which they have been led], and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven [from where this understanding is perceived: received by supernatural transmission] with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels [as I send you] with a great sound of a trumpet [calling all to gather into the LORD’s ONE BODY with Him], and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds [where they have been scattered], from one end of heaven to the other [away from corrupt understanding into this new heaven and earth, the corner stone of which the Father has laid].
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and put forth leaves [for the healing of the nations: curing the ignorance of the Father’s presence with us, in us], you know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise you, when you shall see all these things [as you now do], know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Truly I say unto you, This generation [here and now] shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only [who reveals His secrets to those who fear Him].
37 But as the days of Noah were [when none believed, even though a man was telling them], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man [I Am] be.
Acts 13
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though [I Am] a man declare it unto you.
Acts 17
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men everywhere to repent:
31 Because he has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by [I Am] that man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.
Jeremiah 8
1 At that time [the dead body of Christ in the fires of hell – see the end of Chapter 7], says the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves [the dead misleaders of hell]:
2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven [they have darkened], [idols who put themselves in God’s place] whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3 And death [by remaining with the dead] shall be chosen rather than life [with the LORD] by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family [who choose to remain with the dead who are possessed by Satan], which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war].
4 Moreover you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD; Shall they [My People, whom I have called and chosen] fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6 I hearkened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rushes into the battle.
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times [mow’ed]; and the turtle [towr] and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not [this is the day of] the judgment of the LORD.
8 How do you say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore will I give their wives [the churches and governments they mislead] unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one deals falsely.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace [they refuse to admit these government institutions are at war with humanity, and seeking to destroy it, which is Satan’s will].
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination [following idols, men who put themselves in God’s place]? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – now when He, I Am, is Present as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
13 I will surely consume them, says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves [into MY ONE BODY], and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there [no longer speaking our own vain words in the Father’s name]: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16 The snorting of his horses [running into the battel] was heard from Dan [this judgment day]: the whole land [‘erets – the whole earth] trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land [‘erets – the earth], and all that is in it; the [holy] city, and those that dwell therein.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you [whose poison is in their words], which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you [with their words, evil decrees, destroying you], says the LORD.
18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country [merchaq ‘erets – the earth in this appointed time the LORD decreed]: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images [their creations], and with strange vanities [worthless ideas that are far from My truth]?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black [My dead body chooses to remain in ignorance]; astonishment has taken hold on me [I cannot fathom why humanity refuses to be saved].
22 Is there no balm in Gilead [the cure is in this testimony]; is there no physician [I Am] there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered [the answer is – a cure rejected isn’t a cure]?
Friends, the word towr, meaning a succession, only appears four times. Two of these uses come in the book of Esther. Both tell of Esther’s “turn” to come before the king, Ahasuerus, who is God in pattern, His descriptive name (describing His presence) meaning, “I will remain silent and poor,” after his first wife Vashti refused to come to Him as commanded (as above).
Esther 1
5 And when these days were expired [male’ – fulfilled], the king made a feast [here and now] unto all the people that were present in Shushan [this time of the trumpet sounding] the palace, both unto great and small, seven days [Spiritual perfection: completion], in the court of the garden of the king’s palace;
6 Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.
7 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance [to change the minds of men], according to the state of the king.
8 And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.
9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
11 To bring Vashti [meaning she is beautiful] the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.
12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
13 Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king’s manner toward [dabar paniym – in His rightly ordered word revealing His presence as the LORD to] all that knew law and judgment:
14 And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king’s face [paniym – who perceived the LORD’s presence], and which sat the first in the kingdom;)
15 What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she has not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
16 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen has not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
17 For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
18 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king’s princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.
19 If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.
Esther 2
12 Now when every maid’s turn [towr] was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)
13 Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house.
14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
15 Now when the turn [towr] of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
Matthew 21
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40 When the LORD therefore of the vineyard comes, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus says unto them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the LORD’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
John 8
25 Then said they unto him, Who are you? And Jesus says unto them, [I Am] 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 world those things which I have heard of him.
27 They understood not that he spoke to them [the words] of the Father.
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When you have lifted up [this word of the Father from] the Son of man, 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 [He has given me].
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; 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 which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed;
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest you, You shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abides not in the house forever: but the Son abide ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father [the deceivers who’ve led you into error, into sin].
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says unto them, If you were [spiritually] Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham [obey My commands as he did].
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do you not understand my speech? even because you cannot hear my word [this word as the word of God, as it is].
44 You are of your father the devil [obeying the misleading you’ve been taught by misleaders], and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer [taking way this understanding, life, and light] from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own [language]: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.
46 Which of you convinces [convicts] me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 He that is of God hears God’s words [from me]: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God.
48 Then answered the Jews [those who think they are the “true” believers], and said unto him, Say we not well that you are a Samaritan [worshipping idols men put in God’s place and call by His name], and have a devil [led into error by these misleaders]?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and you do dishonor me.
50 And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.
51 Truly, truly, I say unto you, If a man keeps my saying, he shall never see death.
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you sayest, If a man keeps my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom make you yourself?
54 Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honors me; of whom you say, that he is your God:
55 Yet you have not known him [alive in me]; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced [realizing the LORD’s presence with him, in him] to see my day [alive with me, as I Am alive in him]: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am.
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself [hid His presence from their sight, in their chosen ignorance], and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
John 5
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father [in him] do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all [these] things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them [from death into eternal life]; even so the Son quickens whom he will.
22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father [revealed in him doing the work and speaking His word]. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Truly, truly, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear [it as God’s word] shall live.
26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves [here in hell] shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear [the word God has given me], I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.
Psalms 73 and 74 above are Psalms of Asaph, meaning they are written to those sent to gather God’s people, as I send you, as I Am sent, as in Matthew 24:30 & 31 above.
Psalms 73
1 Truly God is good to Israel [His people who by faith receive this promised end], even to such as are of a clean [bar – pure] heart [by which man sees, perceives, God, as it is written in Matthew 5:8].
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped [into backsliding].
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked [in power over church and state].
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain; violence covers them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens [all truthful discourse], and their tongue walks through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return here [into the ruin and ashes from they were created]: and waters of a full cup [this word by which they were created] are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13 Truly I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued [by the wicked], and chastened [by this correction from the Father] every morning.
15 If I say, I will speak thus [as the LORD commands]; behold, I should offend against the generation of your children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God [into His presence]; then understood I their end [‘achariyth – that these are the last days].
18 Surely you did set them in slippery places: you cast them down into destruction [masshuw’ah].
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awakes [and realizes the thoughts in his mind weren’t real]; so, O LORD, when you awake, you shall despise their image [the creations of men’s minds, which aren’t true].
21 Thus my heart [foundational mind] was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins [deepest thoughts taught].
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you [without Your mind: Spirit].
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have holden me by my right hand [leading back to the right way].
24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward [after correction] receive me to glory [as Your child].
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside you.
26 My flesh and my heart [mind] fails: but God is the strength of my heart [understanding mind], and my portion forever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from you [LORD] shall perish: you have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the LORD God, that I may [with opened mouth] declare all your works.
