21 – 25 February 2025
Repent you therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the LORD.
The word above in Acts 3:19 (numbers denoting divine completeness {perfection} and judgment), rendered “refreshing,” is the once-used Greek word anapsuxis, which is from the once-used word anapsucho, meaning “from 303 and 5594; properly, to cool off, i.e. (figuratively) relieve.”
2 Timothy 1
6 Wherefore I put you in remembrance that you stir up the gift [these treasures He’s freely given us] of God, which is in you by the putting on [epithesis] of my hands [this work of anointing].
7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but [but His anointing is] of power [dunimus], and of love [agape – His charity to and through us], and of a sound mind [sophronismos – only used here, meaning, “discipline, i.e. self-control”].
8 Be not you therefore ashamed of the testimony of our LORD [but without fear boldly declare His Spirit He’s given us is alive in our flesh], nor of me his prisoner: but be you a partaker of the [necessary] afflictions of the gospel according to the power [dunimus] of God;
9 Who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light [this understanding] through the gospel [the good news that He is present in our flesh and in the flesh of any who receive this same Gospel as His presence manifested to us, in us]:
11 Whereunto I Am appointed [tithemi] a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles [those who haven’t known Him, or understood His manner, even as He speaks and works among them to save them from this evil generation].
12 For the which cause I also [necessarily taking up His cross] suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day [of judgment: when this light has returned to the earth].
13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which you have heard of me, in faith and love [agape – charity, giving the word as He has given it] which is in [the ONE BODY of] Christ Jesus [we in Him and He in us, all in all].
14 That good thing [this gift given to be given] which was committed unto you keep by the Holy Ghost [the ONE God alive with us, in us unknown] which dwells [alive] in us.
15 This you know, that all they which are in Asia [the seven churches: the dead body of Christ] be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus [who ran away from God] and Hermogenes [speaking against the new birth].
16 The LORD give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus [bringing increase: profiting the gospel]; for he oft refreshed [anapsucho] me, and was not ashamed [or in fear] of my chain:
17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought [the LORD in] me out very diligently, and found [Him in] me.
18 The LORD grant unto him that he may find mercy of the LORD in that day [this judgment, when understanding has returned to the earth]: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, you know very well.
The word “chain,” above in verse 16, is halusis, which speaks of being bound to something good or evil. It, speaking of good, is described in Ephesians 6:20, and of it (good) binding evil, in Revelation 20:1.
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 [of church and state].
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 lies and false accusation, by which they call evil good and good evil] 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 [halusisi] that therein I may speak boldly [this word of God], as I ought to speak.
The word rendered “ambassador” is presbeuo, which only appears elsewhere in 2 Corinthians 5:20.
2 Corinthians 5
14 For the love [agape – this gift freely given to all] of Christ [this anointing manifesting the LORD present with us, in us] constrains us [sunecho hemas – bonds us together]; because we thus judge, that if one died [became without understanding, which is death] for all, then were all dead [without understanding here in death and hell]:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live [by this light, this understanding received] should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again [by first receiving the LORD’s Spirit here among the dead in hell].
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ [the first anointed] after the flesh [in which He came vailed therein], yet now henceforth know we him no more [as dead flesh but risen to life therein].
17 Therefore, if any man be in Christ [in His ONE BODY by receiving Him from the unknown], he is a new creature [in this first generation of the new heaven and earth He is creating]: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who has reconciled [katallasso] us to himself by Jesus Christ [risen to life in the flesh of His ONE BODY], and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation [katallage];
19 To wit [hos – in this manner], that God was in Christ [alive in the flesh], reconciling [katallasso – from words meaning down and change, speaking of humbling us into the realization of our fallen state, as if in a bottomless pit, into death, to the point we are able to {as little children} receive His mind] the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses [into ignorance] unto them; and has committed [tithemi – as in 2 Timothy 1:11 above] unto us the word of reconciliation [katallage – to lead others in this same manner].
20 Now then we are ambassadors [prebeuo] for Christ, as though [hos – in this manner] God did beseech you by us: we pray [speak to] you in Christ’s stead [huper – His mind over ours], be you reconciled [katallasso – be humbled in this same way, with the same mind] to God.
21 For he has made him to be sin [dead without understanding] for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made [changed as I Am changed] the righteousness of God in him.
Revelation 20
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit [the seemingly endless fall away from God] and a great chain [halusis] in his hand [by the power in this judgment, in this gift given].
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan [the spirit resisting God’s creation and its order, working through men who are leviathan, deceiving, misleading devouring man, heaven, and earth, swallowing them into death here in hell where the dead are held], and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And [order restored] I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast [those without the LORD’s Spirit, in whom Satan works], neither his image [their creations: disorder and insanity], neither had received his mark [their insane ideas] upon their foreheads [into their minds], or in their hands [the works of the insane, which they, even after exposed and rebuked by the rational, refuse to repent and abandon from]; and they [those who refuse this mark: ideas and works showing they are possessed by Satan] lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest [refusing to repent] of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
As we’ve often seen, numbers typically have a spiritual contextual meaning, as does the number “thousand,” from the word chilioi, said to be the “plural of uncertain affinity.” It only appears in the above chapter, three times elsewhere in Revelation, and twice in 2 Pere 3:8.
The affinity is in the word chlio, meaning “to warm,” as in the word chiliaros, meaning “from chlio (to warm); tepid:” only appearing in Revelation 3:16.
It (chiliaros, with affinity to the words airo (“to lift up; by implication, to take up or away,”) and arti (a derivative of 142 [airo] (compare 740 [artos – “bread (as raised) or a loaf”]) through the idea of suspension; just now,”) is speaking of the Laodiceans as neither cold (psuchos) or hot, suspended between them, because they are unaware of their condition, and therefore ignorant of the moment.
The thousand years speak of when all but very few, the elect remnant, are awake and the vast majority of God’s people are sleeping in this “lukewarm” state.
Revelation3
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the [new] creation of God;
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
16 So then because you are lukewarm [chiliaros], and neither cold [osuchos] nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.
17 Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you mayest be rich; and white raiment, that you mayest be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eyesalve, that you mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
2 Peter 3
1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds [dianoia] by way of remembrance:
2 That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the LORD and Saviour:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall [have] come in the last days scoffers [not believing the LORD is present with us, in us], walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep [into death], all things continue as they were from the beginning of the [old] creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God [this same word of God] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved [for this appointed time of the LORD’s just war against the darkness] unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand [chilioi – when the vast majority of God’s are ignorant of His presence] years, and a thousand [chilioi – this time of the lukewarm and unaware sleeping {dead} body of Christ] years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is [always with us, hidden only in men’s ignorance] longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise [His voice here heard], and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men] shall melt with fervent heat, the [old corrupt] earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].
Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His lukewarm people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “diverse” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding all these diverse elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?
Acts 3
14 But you denied [My presence in] the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer [men who took away this understanding and life] to be granted unto you;
15 And killed the Prince [archegos – “Author” and “Captain”] of life, whom God has raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16 And his name [identity] through faith in his name [identity] has made this man [I Am] strong, whom you see and know: yea, the faith which is by him has given him this perfect soundness [holokleria – only used here, meaning “integrity, i.e. physical wholeness”] in the presence of you all.
17 And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance [of His identity: presence] you did it, as did also your rulers.
18 But those things, which God before had shown by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he has so fulfilled.
19 Repent you therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing [anapsuxis] shall come from the presence [prosopon] of the LORD.
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution [apokatastasis – only used here, speaking of taking away the fallen state] of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22 For Moses truly said [in Deuteronomy 18:18 & 19] unto the fathers, “A prophet shall the LORD your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall you hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.”
24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25 You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in your seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
Revelation 20
7 And when the thousand [chilioi] years [the years of God’s people at large sleeping in a lukewarm state] are expired [teleo – is complete, ended], Satan shall be loosed out of his prison [let them, those possessed by Satan, keep talking],
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog [as we know, these names refer to many children of Agag, the king of the Amalekites, who the LORD commanded Saul to destroy, an order he disobeyed, for which he lost his throne – the names speak of all the enemies of God, who’ve warred against Him throughout history, raised in the flesh to be judged], to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven [from His mouth], and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face [prosopon – presence] the [old] earth and the [old] heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books [that were before closed] were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea [humanity at large] gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
This takes us back to the one use of the word psucho, which comes as the LORD, in Matthew 24:12, speaks of this end time (now).
Matthew 12
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love [agape – giving this word as commanded] of many shall wax cold [psucho].
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations [all those who are ignorant of My presence]; and then shall the end [telos] come.
Revelation 11
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein [assess the condition of the dead body of Christ, the house of God where judgment begins – 1 Peter 4:17 For the time is {has} come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begins at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?].
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months [moons].
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses [these are the institution of government, church and state, the sun and moon], and they shall prophesy a thousand [chilioi] two hundred and threescore days [the same as the forty-two months, these are the time the vast majority is sleeping in death], clothed in sackcloth [morning the death of the body of Christ].
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth [like in Zachariah 4:14, speaking of Joshua and Zerubbabel].
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceed out of their mouth, and devours their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven [the places, institutions, where understanding should be found and isn’t], that it rain not [that no words of men come these heavens: the same institution] in the days [understanding that comes] of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood [that men’s words are realized to be draining the life from humanity], and to smite the earth with all plagues [the disease that comes from following the wicked advice of evil men], as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast [those possessed by Satan] that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them [as these institutions are now realized to be without understanding: light and life].
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, [Jerusalem] where also our LORD was crucified [and is now the dead body of Christ].
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and a half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them [as all now see the signs of life returning to these institutions].
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud [the place of full understanding]; and their enemies beheld them.
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe comes quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our LORD, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces [prosopon – in His presence], and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give you thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which are, and was, and are to come; because you have taken to you your great power [giving this gift of understanding], and have reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and your wrath [in this word] is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that you shouldest give reward unto your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear your name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament [His word]: and there were lightnings [understanding from the cloud], and voices, and thunderings [the sound of understanding], and an earthquake [shaking the wicked from their seats of power], and great hail [against the current crop of corrupt leaders].
The times (chilioi – of the dead, of the sleeping lukewarm body) spoken of above are later mentioned in Revelation 12:6 & 14:20.
Revelation 12
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child [the firstborn, the laborer as the first partaker of the fruit] was caught up [harpazo – the same as in 1 Thessalonian 4:17 and Jude 1:23 when those sleeping in death are awakened into full understanding, pulled from the fires of hell, joined with the LORD in His ONE BODY] unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled [to be given this understanding] into the wilderness [realizing their condition of desolation], where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed [prepare] her there a thousand [chilioi – to bring her from this lukewarm state] two hundred and threescore days. [14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?]
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael [the messenger who is the image and likeness of God] and his angels [the messenger sent with the same message, manifest the LORD’s presence] fought against the dragon [those possessed by Satan, devouring men’s minds, holding the in death and hell]; and the dragon fought and his angels [messenger with his malicious message],
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven [as now, when no one in their right mind looks to them for understanding, knowing every message is malicious].
9 And the great dragon was cast out [of their position of trust], that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceive the whole world: he was cast out into the [old and corrupt] earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren [now known by all the sane to be congenital liars and false accusers, who instinctively call evil good and good evil] is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood [this necessary sacrifice] of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony [this good message]; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil [the misleaders possessed by Satan, who remain in positions of power] is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle [the fourth and final face of the unfolding manifestation of the presence of the LORD], that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time [as we know, this is referring to Daniel 12:7, speaking when the end, qets, these last days come, the ‘achariyth, where the Hebrew words are mow’ed, mow’ed, chetsiy: the appointed time of this congregation, what testimony, this testimony, when what is hidden in the midst of the written word, the wheel within a wheel, is rightly divided] from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent [those possessed by Satan, who are his messengers still spewing his message, ignorant that their words are very effectively destroying them] cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth [reality] helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was [Satan’s messengers are] wroth with the woman [the awakening ONE BODY of Christ], and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the [this] testimony of Jesus Christ.
For those who haven’t heard it before, JESUS is (will be) an acronym for the Joint Expeditionary Service (of the) United States. This is Who I Am, who we the elect remnant are, immortals, journeying through time on space ship earth, and our destination is eternity. Too much? It’s the reality that must be grasped and held tightly.
John 3
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water [this word that washes away blinding corruption] and of the Spirit [of the LORD working and speaking among the ignorant who don’t comprehend Him, because He is veiled in flesh], he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again.
8 The wind [the Spirit of the LORD] blows [pneo] where it lists [where He wills], and you hear the sound [voice] thereof, but can not tell whence [from where or for what] it comes, and whither [where] it goes [what it is producing; is leading to]: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Are you a master [teacher] of Israel, and knowest not these things?
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 it 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 – The Judgment, 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, and is born again by the Spirit], that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
2 Timothy 4
1 I charge [diamarturomai – testify to confirm] you, therefore [because of the things said in chapter 3, speaking of the opposition to this word of God, and long-suffering to finish the good fight: manifesting good and evil], [Timothy] before [enopion – “in your eyes appearing”] God [when seeing as He sees], and the LORD Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick [those resurrected from death into life] and the dead [those resurrected to damnation] at his appearing [epiphaneia – epiphany: the sudden realization of Him] and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word [in which He exists]; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they [all] will not endure [not stand up for] sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears [desiring them to be touched by the hands {creations} of man];
4 And they [all] shall turn away [apostrepho – referring us to its use in Romans 11:26, as Paul quotes Isaiah 59:20 & 21, and Romans 11:27 quotes from Isaiah 27:9] their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables [muthos – myths, fictions].
5 But watch you in all things [because all things have been seasoned and leavened with corruption], endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof [plerophoreo – only used four other times] of your ministry.
Romans 11
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written [Isaiah 27:9 and 59:20 & 21], There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer [rhomai], and shall turn away [apostrepho] ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins [the errors that blind them].
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as you [the elect remnant – the first fruit] in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God has concluded them all [except the very elect remnant] in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon ALL.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who has known the mind of the LORD? or who has been his counselor?
35 Or who has first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen.
Isaiah 59
19 So shall they fear [Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.] the name [identity] of the LORD [who is a man of war] from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun [this understanding of the new day]. When the enemy shall come in like a flood [as in Revelation 12:15 above], the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him [as in John 3:14 above].
20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, says the LORD.
21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, says the LORD; My spirit that is upon you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed’s seed, says the LORD, from henceforth and forever.
The word in the title verse (Acts 3:19) rendered “blotted out,” referring to taking away (apo) the sins that caused the love of many to wax cold (become lukewarm), in the refreshing that come with the presence of the LORD, is the five times used word exaleipho (Strong’s # 1813). It is from the prefix ex, meaning the manner through which it comes (in this instance, the LORD’s presence manifested), and the nine-times used word aleipho, meaning “by anointing.” The word (aleipho) literally says joining the fat (grease), meaning by this word prospering in those in whom it effectually works, it makes them shiny.
The final time the word chilioi appears (in Revelation 14:20, rendered “thousand.”), the words used in the original text describe the LORD’s taking the reigns of the horse (those made strong) running a race.
Revelation 14
20 And the winepress [of this wrath, releasing the blood of the grape, the deep meaning in the fruit] was trodden without the city, and blood [this necessary sacrifice] came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles [taking control of the mouths], by the space [apo – taking away] of a thousand [chilioi – the state of being lukewarm] and six hundred [hexakosioi – {Strong’s #1812}, with affinity to ex and ektos, without {the city, in the wilderness}] furlongs [stadion – the race course].
Revelation 14 speaks of the elect remnant, the same who are sealed in Revelation 7, where in verse 17, we’re told of this time when “God will wipe away (exaleipho} all tears.” As we know, this quote is from Isaiah 25:8, which also says it’s when “death is swallowed up in victory,” which is quoted in 1 Corinthians 15:54, saying it’s “when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”
The race and the victory are those spoken of in Hebrews 12 and 1 Corinthians 9.
1 Corinthians 9
24 Know you not that they which run in a race [stadion] run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain.
25 And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible [undefiled by the unfaithful].
Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not [yet] seen.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
13 These all [the faithful] died in faith, not having received the promises [of this end], but having seen them afar off [believing this day would come, this resurrection in the flesh], and were persuaded of them, and embraced [grasped] them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth [whose destination is eternity].
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful [if they had the understanding we now have] of that country from whence they came out, they might have had the opportunity to have returned.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly [this time and place of full understanding]: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of [the faithful] witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race [stadion] that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author [archegos] and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not you the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
6 For whom the LORD loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.
[And speaking of the destination we’ve reached by receiving Him and His correction:]
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the [New] heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [messengers with this message],
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [this time and place of full understanding]:
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 [corruption] that are shaken, as of things that are made [by men], that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace [receive them as a gift from God], whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Isaiah 25
6 And in this mountain [Zion] shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things [this word that prospers], a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 And he [by this voice heard as His] will destroy in this mountain the face [paniym] of the covering [lowt] cast [luwt] over all people [hiding His presence], and the vail [maccekah – the molten images men created and put in His place] that is spread [nacak – interwoven, corrupting His pure word] over all nations [upon all who haven’t known Him].
8 He will swallow up death [ignorance of Him] in victory; and the LORD God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has spoken it.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Revelation 7
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed [with this understanding, this anointing] the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand [hekaton] of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white [leukos – light] robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white [leukos – light] robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, you knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes [removing the corrupt and darkness], and made them white [leukaone – enlightened] in the blood [the necessary sacrifice] of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sits on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more [for this word from the mouth of the LORD], neither thirst any more [for His life-giving waters]; neither shall the sun [the church] light [piotes – cause them to fall: fail] on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away [exaleipho – through this anointing: this word that prospers] all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 14
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred forty and four thousand [hekaton], having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder [the sound of the light from the cloud]: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sang as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts [the four faces of the unfolding presence of the LORD], and the elders: and no man could learn that song [this word given to be repeated as received] but the hundred and forty and four thousand [hekaton], which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women [the corrupt church, the dead body of Christ]; for they are virgins [not corrupted by man]. These are they which [here and now] follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile [no deception]: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
6 And I saw another angel fly [messenger with full understanding, as an eagle: the fourth and final face of the LORD’s unfolding presence manifested] in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God [and not man], and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel [messenger], saying, Babylon [the confusion and delusion that ruled the world into death and hell] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his [molten] image, and receive his mark in his forehead [their confused and insane ideas], or in his hand [their works showing they are possessed by Satan],
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his [molten] image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name [identity].
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the LORD from henceforth: Yea, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud [where understanding is held and from where it comes], and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown [this understanding given to me by my Father alive in me], and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in your sickle, and reap: for the time is come for you to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand [chilioi] and six hundred furlongs.
The following, ending in Isaiah 52, is from the post of 21 October 2024.
Therefore, the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
The above, Isaiah 3:17, comes in the final portion of the chapter, in one of the most unfounded interpretations of the original Hebrew text.
The words “will smite with a scab” are from the six times used word caphach, meaning, “or saphach (Isaiah 3:17) {saw-fakh’}; a primitive root; properly, to scrape out, but in certain peculiar senses (of removal or association):–abiding, gather together, cleave, smite with the scab.”
The sense of smiting comes from its affinity to the ten times used word caphaq, meaning “or saphaq (1 Kings 20:10; Job 27:23; Isaiah 2:6) {saw-fak’}; a primitive root; to clap the hands (in token of compact, derision, grief, indignation, or punishment); by implication of satisfaction, to be enough; by implication of excess, to vomit:–clap, smite, strike, suffice, wallow.”
The title is telling an association (gathering together for punishment): the crown on the head of God’s people as a scab upon (covering) a wound, which (association, crown, and people) are further described in the chapter and beyond.
The following, ending with Isaiah 52, is from the post of 17 July 2018.
Friends, do you understand the old earth is the grave we have willingly been sent into, to preach the word of life to those bound here in darkness?
Isaiah 3 is the beginning of the decline into desolation, and Isaiah 66 its ending.
Isaiah 3
1 For, behold, the LORD, the LORD of hosts, does take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4 And I will give [those whose minds are quickly shaken – na’ar] children to be their princes, and babes [their delusions – ta’aluwl] shall rule over them.
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, You have clothing, be you our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand:
7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 The show of their countenance does witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10 Say you to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
13 The LORD stands up to plead, and stands to judge the people.
14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for you have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What mean you that you beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? says the LORD God of hosts.
16 Moreover the LORD says, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty [arrogant – thinking God owes them something], and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes [their conversation and vision are with covetousness], walking and mincing [taphaph – tripping] as they go, and making a tinkling [‘akac – as fetters] with their feet [both these words only appear here – speaking of covetousness, not content with what He has given, never saying it is enough, as the fetters that trip them up in the walk in the wrong “way of your paths”]:
17 Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab [caphach – will gather together] the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
18 In that day the LORD will take away the bravery of [tiph’arah – the glorying in] their tinkling ornaments [‘ekec – the same as ‘akac, only appearing here and Proverbs 7:22 “as a fool to the correction of the stocks” – see below] about their feet, [the following describes the coverings in which God’s people glory, which is their vain bravery and arrogance against God] and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 The rings, and nose jewels,
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
Pardon me while I digress: I listen to the “Message” Contemporary Christian Music station on SiriusXM radio. I enjoy the music, but the DJs’ preaching, when tried, is found wanting. They only speak of the love of God (as mindless emotion, a reflex without intention, a word without demonstrative evidence – not as Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever) and never of judgment or diligently seeking the knowledge of Him in His word. They are no different than most other false teachers and false preachers, flattering those who follow them, keeping them comfy (lukewarm) and to hell with everyone else, scratching (the surface of) their itching ears, so they continue with them, even into perdition because they receive not the love of the truth. Jonah 2:8 They that observe lying vanities [worthless lies] forsake their own mercy. 9 But I will sacrifice unto you with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed [and go as promised – See Matthew 21:28 – 31]. Salvation is of the LORD.
Proverbs 7
1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you.
2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.
3 Bind them upon your fingers, write them upon the table of your heart.
4 Say unto wisdom, You are my sister; and call understanding your kinswoman:
5 That they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger which flatters with her words.
6 For [returning from My long journey, of which the unfaithful are unaware] at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went [tsa’ad] the way to her house,
9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night [in full ignorance]:
10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.
11 (She is loud and stubborn [arrogant]; her feet abide not in her house:
12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lies in wait at every corner.)
13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent [brazen in her outward glory] face said unto him,
14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows.
15 Therefore came I forth to meet you, diligently to seek your face, and I have found you.
16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
20 He has taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed [she ignorantly says not knowing He has been here].
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
22 He goes after her straightway, as an ox goes [unaware] to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks [‘ekec];
23 Till a [fiery] dart [of the wicked] strikes through his liver [his inner-most thoughts – from which there is no recovery]; as a bird hastens to the snare, and knows not that it is for his life.
24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O you children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not your heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her [way of her] paths.
26 For she has cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
I also will choose their delusions and will bring their fears upon them.
This verse is Isaiah 66:4 and is the LORD speaking to those being consumed by their hate as they try to destroy those they hate without cause.
Psalms 35
11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourns for his mother.
15 But in my adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 LORD, how long will you look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18 I will give you thanks in the great congregation: I will praise you among much people.
19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye [secretly conspire] that hate me without a cause.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land [those who reject and are therefore not shaken by their lies].
Isaiah 66
4 I also will choose their delusions [ta’aluwl], 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.
5 Hear the word of the LORD, you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendered recompense [the reward they deserve] to his enemies.
7 Before she [Zion – God’s faithful people] travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8 Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? says your God.
The word ta’aluwl, above rendered “delusions,” from two words, ta’ah, to mark out or designate, and ‘alal, to effect thoroughly, as in to overdo and maltreat. It is only used one other time, in Isaiah 3:4, where it is inappropriately rendered “babes” in telling of all the leaders and elites replaced by “children” and “babes.” The word “children” is from na’ar, meaning to be shaken, as in those who become easily (irrationally) disturbed. Na’ar is the word used in Job 38:13 to tell of the wicked “shaken” out of the earth, as a mark (seal) of the end of the (old) earth. We know the new heaven and new earth are mentioned in Isaiah 66:22, where these delusional men who have been pointed out (marked) are themselves preplaced with those God has raised up.
Friends, I am plainly telling you that what we are seeing, in the fake news media, false prophets in church and state, and all the political, academic, and entertainment elites, is a lie they created and now use as justification for mass hysteria. It is their lie turned into mass delusion, in which they have placed all their faith and are, using all their powers of deception, trying to validate what only exists in their deluded minds. This is the arm of the LORD made quite bare, as He asks, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?”
Isaiah 52
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that does speak: behold, it is I.
Psalms 84
1 How amiable are your tabernacles, O LORD of hosts [a man of war]!
2 My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Yea, the sparrow has found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will be still praising you. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca [tears, weeping] make it a well; the rain also fills the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appears before God.
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon [nabat] the face of [paniym – favor with Your presence] your anointed.
10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper [caphaph – only used here, with affinity to caphach and caphaq above] in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
