7 – 12 January 2025
Lift you up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
The word rendered “banner” above in Isaiah 13:2 is nec, a word here often discussed regarding its appearance in Numbers 21:8 & 9, where it’s the “pole” upon which Moses lifts the fiery serpent. This (lifting) is done to combat serpents among God’s people biting (with words) and killing them (quenching the LORD’s Spirit in them, in their minds). As a cure, the Brazen Serpent (Christ) serpent is lifted (His voice exalted above all other voices), and all who looked to it (saw Him, and thereby see as He sees) the bites (poisonous words) had no effect.
As we’ve seen in other discussions, the context of the Fiery Serpent lifted is analogous to Phinehas (meaning “mouth of a serpent”) as described in Numbers 25:7 & 11, and now of the Son of man, as foretold by the LORD in John 3:14.
John 3
11 Truly, truly, I say unto you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen [the Father]; and you receive not our witness [the words given by Him].
12 If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things [of this full understanding]?
13 And no man has ascended [anabaino – is lifted] up to heaven [from where this understanding comes], but he that came down [katabaino] from heaven [from where He alone gives them to whom He wills], even the Son of man which is in heaven [has this full understanding that only comes from the Father].
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness [upon the nec – the pole already raised], even so must the Son of man be lifted up [and this word given by the Father must be exalted above all other voices]:
15 That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son [I Am the one He’s chosen, declared, and crowned], that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name [identity] of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation [krisis – this decision point], that light [understand that only comes from the Father] is come into the world, and men loved darkness [ignorance wrought by generational corruption] rather than light, because their deeds were evil [misleading entrenched by pride].
20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light [this understanding that is life], lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that does truth comes to the light [reaches this understanding], that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the LORD, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation [this work] wherewith you are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is ONE BODY, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope [that all will see, realize the LORD’s, the Father’s, presence, in His word and work always with us, in us] of your calling [to establish His kingdom here and now on the earth];
5 One LORD, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. [Think!]
7 But unto every one of us is given grace [His treasures given] according to the measure of the gift of Christ [metron – Matthew 7:2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.].
8 Wherefore he says, When he ascended up on high [when His voice is exalted above all other voices], he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth [here into hell, from where the resurrection occurs]?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens [into full understanding], that he might fill all things [fill us to the full as He is filled.)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting [teleios – completing, filling to the full] of the saints, for the work of the ministry [dispensing the gifts giving], for the edifying [building up through education] of the [ONE] body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity [the ONE BODY unified, risen with ONE Mind] of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect [teleios] man, unto the measure [metron] of the stature of the fulness [pleroma – filled full, the completion] of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children [speaking childish things], tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of [false] doctrine, by the sleight [kubeia – only used here, meaning defrauding, by sleight of logic, censorship, and gaslighting] of men, and cunning craftiness [panourgia – sophistry, false arguments – as we now see it pervading our legal system, news, social media, education, the popular culture in general, while they all, as one evil body, with these means, falsely accuse the innocent of doing what they themselves have wickedly done and continue to do] whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love [agape – giving it as received, as commanded], may grow up into him [putting away childish things, becoming men] in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working [of the word God has given us] in the measure [metron] of every part, makes increase of the body [in which the Giver dwells] unto the edifying [building it, the ONE BODY of Christ] of itself in love [agape – through giving the knowledge of God He has given us through those He chooses and sends].
The (five times used) word panourgia, rendered “craftiness” in verse 14 above, is the fruit of the corrupt, in which the LORD traps them as they mark themselves with their own words (corrupt conversation), revealing their evil thoughts (in their head) and their evil works (in their hands), masked in their claims of “good” intentions, paving the way into death and hell, destroying lives and livelihoods.
Numbers 21
3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites [those zealous to do evil, as merchants selling it]; and they utterly destroyed [charam – ban their merchandise] them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah [chormah – from chamar]. [The word chamar refers to its use in 1 Samuel 15:3 & 8 and Micah 4:13; the first of these telling of when the LORD commanded Saul to smite Amalek {not our king}, “and utterly destroy {chamar} all that they have, and spare them not,” and he {disobeyed} spared their king Agag {Gog}, and took all he thought was valuable {merchandise}; and the later saying: “9 Now why do you cry out aloud? is there no king in you? is your counsellor perished? for pangs have taken you as a woman in travail. 10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth {your king}, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the city, and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to Babylon; there shall you be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies. 11 Now also many nations are gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. 12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor. 13 Arise {in these last days, by the LORD’s teaching} and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate {chamar – utterly destroy their merchandise, their weapons of war, and beat them into plowshares and pruning hooks} their gain unto the LORD, and their substance {chayil – the life in them} unto the LORD {‘adown – the king} of the whole earth.]
4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea [the reed sea, papyrus, this written word of God flowing to all humanity], to compass the land of Edom [the enemies mixed among]: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way [the tribulation of these last days, the necessary trial by fire].
5 And the people spoke against God, and against Moses [I Am, Timothy], Wherefore have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loathes this light bread [this word from the mouth of the LORD, which you know not what it is].
6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents [nachash – misleaders, zealous to do evil] among the people, and they bit [with words that are poison] the people; and much people of Israel died [their minds are deadened, without substance].
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against you; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents [nachash] from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make you a fiery serpent [saraph], and set it upon a pole [nec – exalting this voice above all other voices]: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks [ra’ah – see the LORD, after hearing Him] upon it, shall live [chayay – the substance, life that is light and understanding, shall come from the mouth of the LORD, by which man lives].
9 And Moses made a serpent [nachash] of brass, and put it upon a pole [nec – exalting this voice above all other voices], and it came to pass, that if a serpent [nachash] had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent [nachash] of brass, he lived [chayay].
The above-mentioned serpents (nachash) refer to the priesthood, fallen into death and from there, by the LORD’s correct teaching, raised in righteousness.
Proverbs 23
13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if you beat him with the rod [shebet – the scepter of the LORD’s rule, the Branch into whom the substance has flowed and produces good fruit], he shall not die.
14 You shall beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from [death and] hell.
15 My son, if your heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice [the LORD’s presence realized], even mine.
16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice [My presence alive in you], when your lips speak right things [speaking this word as received, which is my presence realized and manifested].
17 Let not your heart envy sinners [speaking corruption]: but be you in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
18 For surely there is an end [‘achariyth – these last days now come]; and your expectation [this promised end] shall not be cut off [karath – shall not fail].
19 Hear [shama’ – and obey] you [My voice], my son, and be wise, and guide your heart in the [good] way [into life eternal].
20 Be not among winebibbers [filled with corruption that deadens their minds]; among riotous eaters [zalal – shaken by this word from the mouth of the LORD] of [corrupt] flesh:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty [His corrupt merchandise shall be taken away]: and drowsiness [sleepiness, with deadened minds] shall clothe a man with [filthy] rags.
22 Hearken [shama’ – and obey] unto your father [this knowledge of God who is this word] that begat you, and despise not your mother [this wisdom] when she is old.
23 Buy the truth [this good merchandise], and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begets a wise child shall have joy of him [when He realizes the LORD’s presence with us, in us].
25 Your father and your mother shall be glad, and she that bare you shall rejoice [when the LORD’s presence is realized in you, manifested in His word heard from you].
26 My son, give me your heart [mind], and let your eyes observe [see Me in] my ways.
27 For a whore is [the unfaithful who left Me and are fallen into] a deep ditch; and a strange woman [a church who doesn’t know Me, not recognizing My voice, not seeing My way] is a narrow pit.
28 She also lies in wait as for a prey, and increases the transgressors among men.
29 Who has woe? who has sorrow? who has contentions? who has babbling? who has wounds without cause? who has redness of eyes?
30 They that tarry long at the wine [remain in corruption]; they that go to seek mixed wine [the same creations of men who put themselves in My place, which led them into death and hell].
31 Look not you upon the wine when it is red, when it gives his color in the cup, when it moves itself aright.
32 At the last [‘achariyth – now in these last days] it bites [with poison] like a serpent [nachash], and stings [shows and declares death] like an adder.
33 Your eyes shall behold [ra’ah – see like] strange women [a church that doesn’t know the present LORD], and your heart [from your corrupted mind] shall utter perverse things [corrupt merchandise].
34 Yea, you shall be as he that lieth down [in death] in the midst of the sea [humanity], or as he that lieth upon the top [ro’sh] of a mast [chibbel – swinging wildly between opinions of the corrupt].
35 “They [the corrupt] have stricken me” shall you say, “and I was not sick; they have beaten [halam] me, and I [in ignorance] felt it not: when shall I awake [from this drunken sleep in death]? I will seek it [search to find out who has stricken and beaten me] yet again.”
The word halam is used in Isaiah 28:1, saying, “Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome [halam] with wine!”
Isaiah 28
2 Behold, the LORD has a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand [this work for which He’s sent me].
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet [of those who receive this understand, His manifested presence speaking and working, and willingly submit to the will of God: doing the work that pleases the Father]:
4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looks upon it sees, while it is yet in his hand he eats it up [as the glory of the drunkard is eaten up by the LORD’s manifested presence].
5 In that day [this time when light has returned] shall the LORD of hosts [a man of war, and the Head of the ONE BODY, the Commander of the army of heaven] be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem [tsphiyrah – only appearing two other places, both in Ezekiel 7, a chapter speaking this end come; there rendered “morning” when this crowning occurs, when His word, this word, is exalted above all other voices] of beauty, unto the residue of his people, [Ezekiel 7:7 The morning {tsphiyrah – of this crowning} is come unto you, O you that dwell in the land {‘erets – this earth moment}: the time is come, the day of trouble is near {qarowb – upon us}, and not the sounding again of the mountains {no longer hearing and obeying the words of the misleaders in power in church and state}.]
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 [trampling down the gates of hell, the mouth of men who are ignorant of God, and proud of what they think they know, even calling them by His name, saying “He said,” when they never knew Him].
7 But they [those who sit in His judgment seat, His mercy seat from where His voice should be heard] 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 [into the belly of hell] of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision [saying they see when they see nothing but darkness], they stumble in judgment.
8 For all tables 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’ Jehovah, this report, to understand it is the voice of the LORD heard and obeyed]? them that are weaned from the milk [don’t remain in a childish state, only seeing superficially], and drawn [attiyq – only used elsewhere in 1 Chronicles 4:22] from the breasts. [1 Chronicles 4:22, speaking of those who “dwelt with the king for his work,” saying “And Jokim {who Jehovah raises up}, and the men of Chozeba {against falsehood}, and Joash {given, sent, by Jehovah} and Saraph {to burn up all falsehood in the trial in hell’s fires}, who had the dominion in Moab {power over the gates of hell, the mouths of wicked men}, and Jashubilehem {by the return of this bead, this word from the mouth of the LORD, by which man lives}. And these are ancient {attiyq} things.”]
10 For 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 [this truth which is thought to be vain repetition and a foreign language to those who only know lies] will he speak to this people. [In this verse the mystery {the sealed truth} of Pentecost is revealed to be when men who’ve received this word of God, by the work of the LORD unknown {as the Holy Ghost}, repeat it as receives, which the ignorant can’t understand, but the wise do understand. Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go your way, Daniel {judgment of God}: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 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.]
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear [shama’ – refusing to hear it as His voice, 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 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 [‘Adonay Jehovih – KING of kings and LORD of lords], 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 [not flee from Him in shame]. [Psalms 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner {turning our heads again to the Father in heaven}. 23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in {opening} our eyes {to His presence}. 24 This is the day {time of His light rising} which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.]
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death [maveth] shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell [sheol] 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 – the sound doctrine, teaching, and the “rumor” of Ezekiel 7:26, which is the voice of Jehovah heard].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a [sleeping] man can stretch himself on it: and the covering [the lies and falsehoods under which they hide is] narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
The following, ending with Isaiah 2, are excerpts from the post of 2 January 2024.
And you, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto you shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
The above-mentioned “dominion” is from the sixteen times used Hebrew word memshalah. Its first uses describe the sun and the moon created to “rule” the day and night. As we know, these are church and state governments in times of light and darkness: the church, when understanding covers the earth, and, when this light is absent, the state when (in its many phases) ignorance does. Both of these institutions were initially created to shine the LORD’s light upon the earth, ruling as he rules, with truth and justice, which is the American way (USA as Constituted to securing these God-given rights). As is evident to all not living in an altered state of reality, the light left (and with it the recognition of reality) the church first, and with this occurring, the moon waned into (now) total darkness.
The “first dominion” of Daniel 7 is that spoken of in the previous post. In the context of the above description, the same is described in Psalms 136:8 & 9. The foretelling of the death and resurrection of the same (just dominion) also appears in other passages below.
Psalms 136
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures forever.
2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endures forever.
3 O give thanks to the LORD of lords: for his mercy endures forever.
4 To him who alone does great wonders: for his mercy endures forever.
5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endures forever.
6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endures forever.
7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endures forever:
8 The sun [His ONE BODY] to rule [memshalah] by day [when those who’ve received His understanding, shine from the church as His light into heaven’s darkness: to be seen as guiding light even for the ignorant]: for his mercy endures forever:
9 The moon [civil government, like Jericho, whose wall, of false interpretation separating them from God’s presence, falls as His people follow His commands and open their mouths bringing it down] and stars [His people with His light, shinning as lights in the firmament, with this same exposition] to rule [memshalah] by night [the ignorant who choose to reject and refuse to abide His perfect law of liberty]: for his mercy endures forever.
10 To him that smote Egypt [the evil oppressors] in their firstborn [the leaders among them, in the pattern of the sons of perdition]: for his mercy endures forever:
11 And brought out Israel [the people of His promise] from among them: for his mercy endures forever:
12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm [this same word now before the eyes of the world]: for his mercy endures forever.
13 To him which divided the Red [cuwph – papyrus, the written word handed down] sea [yam – the roaring of its wave, the false interpretation, men’s never ending opinions of meaning in the law of church and state – these word {cuwph yam} speaking of what now culminates in the extreme lawfare between right and left] into parts [dividing humanity into two distinct sides]: for his mercy endures forever:
14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it [with Him here in the middle moving toward the promised land: earth]: for his mercy endures forever:
The above speaks of the thousands standing in the LORD’s presence, receiving His mercy, as in Daniel 7:10, speaking of his (Daniel’s, those understanding God’s judgment) understanding the correct interpretation, saying “A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him [speaking His word], and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books [that were sealed until this time] were opened.”
Exodus 20
1 And God spoke all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD your God, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 You shall have no other gods [men putting themselves in my place] before me.
4 You shall not [by presuming] make unto you any graven image [false interpretations], or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting [paqad – coming as the Chief Overseer of the earth, uncovering] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain [saying I said when I haven’t]; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day [when I interrupt your work to correct you back onto the right course], to keep it holy.
Isaiah 22
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim [God raised, to be established {from quwm}] the son of Hilkiah [whose inheritance is Jehovah]:
21 And I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your girdle [this cover and preparation contrasted against the other time ‘atah appears in Psalms 109, in verse 19, speaking of the wicked, anointed {of Satan} devils, who are cut off from the earth, saying, “19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covers {‘atah} him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. 20 Let this be the reward of my adversaries {satan} from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.”], and I will commit your government [memshalah – governments of church and state] into his [my] hand: and he [the LORD in me] shall be a Father to the inhabitants of [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah [the elect remnant that receive me in the name of the LORD]. [Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, You shall not see me from here forward, until you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the LORD.]
22 And the key [that opens the door] of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.
24 And they shall hang [the understanding of all the law and the prophets] upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue [all those born by coming into His light], all [the holy] vessels of small quantity, from the [holy] vessels of cups, even to all the [holy] vessels of flagons.
25 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, shall the nail [upon which hangs the corrupt understanding of all the law and prophets] that is fastened in the sure [in which all trust] place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD has spoken it.
Friends, the matter, the controversy as we know it, is a lack of subordination to the power God has raised. It (rebellion, in which all worldly powers are now engaged, as dogs barking in the night, this time when ignorance covers the earth, against God’s government in church and state) is the topic of Psalms 109 (& 110), and what the LORD speaks of in Matthew 23.
Matthew 23
31 Wherefore you be witnesses unto [against] yourselves, that you are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill you up then the measure of your fathers.
33 You serpents [whose poison, which rots the minds of men, is in your mouths], you generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell [the result of your own cursing come upon you]?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues [all your gathering places, where truth and justice should be administered], and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel [speaking of all in who the spirit of Cain is manifested, who kill their brothers, “Because his {Cain’s} own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.”] unto the blood of Zacharias [all these righteous men, who the LORD now brings to remembrance] son of Barachias [who are the blessed of Jehovah], whom you slew between the temple and the altar [offering them as your evil sacrifice]. [Isaiah 66: 3 …Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delight in their abominations. 4 I also will choose their delusions {their insanity they can’t differentiate from reality}, 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.]
36 Truly I say unto you, All these things shall [have now] come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and stones them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, You shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the LORD.
Psalms 110
A Psalms of David
1 The LORD [Jehovah] said unto my LORD [‘adown – the king He will establish], Sit you at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.
2 The LORD [Jehovah] shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion: rule you in the midst of your enemies [as I do, as commanded by the Higher power].
3 Your people shall be willing in the day of your power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning [this day now come]: you have the dew of your youth.
4 The LORD [Jehovah] has sworn, and will not repent, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek [the king of righteousness, and king of peace].
5 The LORD [‘Adonay – the King of kings] at your right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads [ro’sh – those whose evil ideas and ways rule] over many countries [‘erets – over the earth].
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way [this word sent into this time, to be revealed, by which]: therefore, shall he lift up [ruwm – raise and exalt] the head [ro’sh – His righteous ideas and way].
Psalms 109
1 Hold not your peace, O God of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer [conversing with the LORD who’s given me understanding of the matter].
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set you a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand [as the spirit inspiriting them].
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer [unto the gods, idols men created and put in my place, which they deceitfully call by My name] become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office [pquddah – as the overseers, watchmen, of the earth].
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow [the insane who speak and work their evil].
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner [who steals their inheritance from them] catch all that he has; and let the strangers spoil his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out [cut off from the earth].
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers [whose knowledge is to do evil to his brothers] be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother [their teachers who teach them wisdom is to speak and work evil] be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart [who their evil ways made desolate].
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covers [‘atah] him, and for a girdle [preparation] wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of my adversaries [satan – the reward to those who attack and accuse me] from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 But do you for me, O God the LORD, for your name’s sake [in which you have sent me]: because your mercy [in our conversation at Your mercy seat] is good, deliver you me.
22 For I am poor and needy [without worldly power], and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declines [as Your sun rises, showing Your glory]: I am tossed up and down as the locust [by the same winds destroying the destroyers].
24 My knees are weak through fasting [Your people remain weak through refusing Your word as Yours]; and my flesh [of Your dead body] fails of fatness [because they refuse to prosper by these treasures You’ve sent them].
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shake their heads [refusing me].
26 Help me, O LORD my God [King of kings and LORD of lords]: O save me according to your mercy:
27 That they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless you: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let your servant rejoice.
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover [‘atah] themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
The following is the post from 13 January 2021, with today’s [[those of 2 January 2024]] additions in double brackets.
The earthquakes – But in the last days [[‘achariyth]] it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains [[above all the governments of the earth]], and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
The word above, in Micah 4:1, rendered “established,” is kuwn, which we saw in the previous post, from Jeremiah 33:2. There it speaks of the LORD as the “maker” of the firmament, who “formed” the Spirit of life in man. In the following verse, the LORD urges us, “Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not.”
The word in the title verse rendered “last days” is ‘achariyth, meaning, “the last or end, hence, the future; also posterity.” As we’ve seen in other posts, it’s the word used, in Genesis 49:1, as Jacob gathered his children and told them what would befall them in the “last days.” It’s also the word used in Daniel 12:8 when Daniel asks Gabriel (the man of God who is also the warrior of God, as is Timothy), What “shall be the end” of these things?
The title is speaking of these days, when the government of God is “established” above all the governments of the world, as is the purpose for which they’ve been prepared and provided. This is what Micah 4:8 calls the “first dominion,” from the Hebrew words ri’shown, meaning, “first, in place, time or rank,” and memshalah, meaning, “rule; also (concretely in plural) a realm or a ruler.” Before this, verse 7 says, “the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even forever.”
The secret of this occurring is found in searching, curiously exploring, the word rendered in the title verse “flow,” which tells of when and how God’s people enter His kingdom. It (“flow”) is from the six times used Hebrew word nahar, meaning, “to sparkle, i.e. (figuratively) be cheerful; hence (from the sheen of a running stream) to flow, i.e. (figuratively) assemble.”
Micah 5:3 tells us this time comes after the LORD has given us up (to follow our own ways and ideas), “until the time that she which travails has brought forth: then the remnant [Judah] of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel [God’s people at large].” Earlier, in Micah 4:10 we’re told this is when we come out of confusion (Babylon), from where the LORD delivers us, when He redeems us (pays the price to correct us) from the hand of our enemies (the cause of the confusion now turned mass delusion, which rules and controls all the world).
These events are described from different but unquestionably similar perspectives in the other five chapters where the word nahar is used, and this same dominion, kingdom, is established on earth forever and into it flow God’s children.
Colossians 1
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, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us 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:
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 fullness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile 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
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreprovable in his sight:
23 If you continue in the faith 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 Paul am [[I Timothy Am]] made a minister;
24 Who now rejoice 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:
25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill 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 of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; 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.
Ephesians 6
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Micah 4
1 But in the last days [[‘achariyth]] it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established [kuwn] in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow [nahar] unto it.
2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off [[gowy rachowq – those who don’t know the LORD and rule the world by their evil decrees]]; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares [[to plant vineyards and groves of fig trees]], and their spears into pruning-hooks [[to harvest their fruit]]: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree [[planting and harvesting]]; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken it.
5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
6 In that day, says the LORD, will I assemble her that halts [was lame and wandered from the way], and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
7 And I will make her that halted [was lame] a remnant, and her that was cast far off [[hala’ – wandered away]] a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign [[malak – by making war through wise counsel, ascend to the throne]] over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even forever.
8 And you, O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, unto you shall it come, even the first dominion [ri’shown memshalah]; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Now why do you cry out aloud? is there no king in you? is your counselor perished? for pangs have taken you as a woman in travail [[to bring forth the king who is the counselor]].
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth [Rachel, the teacher of all God’s people, who is their correction – the mother of Joseph {Ephraim, Israel at large} and Benjamin {Judah, the elect remnant}], O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the city, and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to Babylon [confusion and ignorance]; there shall you be delivered [by correction]; there the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Now also many nations are gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the LORD of the whole earth.
Micah 5
1 Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops: he has laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephratah [this house of bread, in this time of ruin], though you be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travails has brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
5 And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian [the communists] shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces [[as has Obama, and now his idiot children, who bear his brand on {Brandon} their heads and hands, with Lucifer’s ideas and ways: as policy ruling by deception]], then shall we raise against him seven [[godly]] shepherds, and eight [[renewed in truth and justice]] principal men.
I tell you now, the world is shaking and the wicked will be shaken from it. Amen!
Hebrews 12
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, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Isaiah 2
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days [[‘achariyth]], that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established [kuwn] in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow [nahar] 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 shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from [[New Heavenly]] Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come you, and let us walk in the light [[understanding]] of the LORD.
6 Therefore you have forsaken your people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east [[filled with false understanding]], and are soothsayers like the Philistines [[are a covert army warring against Me]], and they please themselves in the children of strangers [[who they’ve raised to not know Me]].
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
9 And the mean man bows down [[to their idols, the strange ways with which they are filled]], and the great man humbles himself [[before their communist tyrants]]: therefore forgive them not.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide you in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan [the upright of the flock],
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish [the churches that have carried God’s people away from their vows], and upon all pleasant pictures [by all the images, idols, they’ve made to entice them].
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Numbers 25
1 And Israel abode in Shittim [among scourging thorns: misleaders as serpents among them], and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab [whose mouths are the gate of hell].
2 And they called the people [now ignorant and dead] unto the sacrifices of their gods [as in Micah 4:5 above]: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor [meaning lords whose mouths are always wide open, {peor} from the four times used word pa’ar, always used speaking of open mouths; the last in Isaiah 5:14, the passage descriptively saying “they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands. 13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell has enlarged herself, and opened {pa’ar} her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoices, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.”]: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay you every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation [‘edah] of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation [mow’ed – this appointed time].
7 And when Phinehas [whose mouth is like a serpent’s mouth], the son of Eleazar [who God has helped], the son of Aaron [the light-bringers, giving this word as received from the LORD’s chosen, who received it from Him] the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon [confusion ended], which Isaiah [who the LORD has saved] the son of Amoz [by giving His strength, to be given] did see [as the LORD sees].
2 Lift you up a banner [nec – the pole upon which the serpent, the son of man, is lifted] upon the high mountain, exalt the voice [from God’s mouth] unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles [to tell them He has come to retake what is His].
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for my anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
4 The noise [qowl – the voices] of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise [qowl – voices] of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts musters the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country [merchaq – the appointed time, which the LORD decreed], from the end [qets] of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land [‘erets – the old and wholly corrupted heaven and earth].
6 Howl you; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travails: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land [‘erets – the earth] desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of [the old and corrupt] heaven and the constellations thereof [God’s people, without understanding] shall not give their light: the sun [church – the dead body of Christ, without understanding] shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon [civil governments, without understanding] shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove [ragaz] out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land [‘erets – the corrupt earth].
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword [this word they reject].
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.
19 And Babylon [this earth ruled by mass delusion and open insanity], the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency [the deception by which they rule and manipulate all], shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian [the enemies mixed among us] pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls [who hunt souls in the darkness] shall dwell there, and satyrs [devils possessed by Satan] shall dance there.
22 And the wild beasts [without the LORD’s Spirit] of the islands [without His word] shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons [men as whales and serpents, devouring with wide open mouths] in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
Psalms 80
A Psalm of Asaph [to the gatherers]
1 Give ear, O Shepherd [ra’ah – who must see as the LORD sees] of Israel, you that lead Joseph [God’s people in these last days] like a flock; you that dwells between the cherubims [in this conversation with the LORD, at His mercy seat], shine forth [giving this understanding He has given us and declare His presence manifested therein].
2 Before [paniym – manifest His presence to] Ephraim [God’s people in the first generation of His new creation] and Benjamin [who become His right hand] and Manasseh [who forgot God and must now remember] stir up your strength [this understanding that brings the unity of His ONE BODY], and come and save us.
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause your face [paniym – Your presence] to shine [giving us understanding]; and we shall be saved.
4 O LORD God of hosts [a man of war], how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
5 You feed them with the bread of tears [sorrow caused by ignorance, not seeing God], and give them tears to drink in great measure.
6 You make us a strife unto our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts [a man of war], and cause your face [paniym – Your presence] to shine [giving understanding]; and we shall be saved.
8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 You prepared [panah – turned us back] room before [paniym – to your presence] it, and did cause it to take deep root [upon this foundation], and it filled the land [male’ ‘erets – it completed the new earth].
10 The hills [governments of church and state] were covered with the shadow of it [protected from the corrupt understanding of the old], and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars [upright men].
11 She sent out her boughs [to flow life through them] unto the sea [to all humanity at large who receive it], and her branches unto the river [through which this word flows into the sea].
12 Why have you then broken down her hedges [her protection], so that all they which pass by [‘abar – are trying to pass from death into life] the way do pluck [gather away] her [good fruit]?
13 The boar out of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it.
14 Return, we beseech you, O God of hosts [a man of war]: look down from heaven, and behold [ra’ah – give us Your sight, wipe away our tears], and visit [paqad – appear in our eyes as the Chief Overseer of the earth to] this vine;
15 And the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and the branch [I Am] that you made strong for yourself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of your countenance [paniym – Your presence manifested].
17 Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, upon the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
18 So will not we go back from you: quicken us [from death into life], and we will call upon your name.
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts [a man of war], cause your face [paniym – Your presence manifested] to shine [giving us understanding]; and we shall be saved.
