16 – 20 March 2025
I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.
The above, Ezekiel 21:27, appears in a chapter where the LORD describes to the son of man the end of all understanding and how all are thereby (ignorance) held in death. This holding place, the “privy chamber” of those slain by His word (sword) they don’t understand (no longer remember), even His son with them, is from the once-used word chadar, which is from the word cheder, which we discussed in the posts of 1 and 8 March 2025.
Ezekiel 21
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set your face [paniym – manifest My presence] toward Jerusalem [to God’s people at large], and drop [as this latter rain] your word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land [‘adamah – all the generations before us] of Israel,
3 And say to the land [‘adamah] of Israel, Thus says the LORD; Behold, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off [karath] from you the righteous and the wicked.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off [karath] from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
5 That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
6 Sigh, therefore, you son of man, with the breaking of your loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
7 And it shall be, when they say unto you, Wherefore sigh you? that you shall answer, For the tidings [shmuw’ah – this report, the sound doctrine, the rumor of the LORD’s presence]; because it comes: and every heart [men’s understanding, minds blinded to the present LORD] shall melt [macac], and all hands [men’s works] shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and shall be brought to pass, says the LORD God. [Psalms 97:5 The hills melted [macac] like wax at the presence {paniym} of the LORD, at the presence {paniym} of the LORD of the whole earth.]
8 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the LORD; Say, A sword [this word showing all are dead], a sword is sharpened, and also furbished: [Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart {mind}].
10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter [baraq – send forth this light: understand and life]: should we then make mirth? it contemn [ma’ac – make disappear] the rod [shebet – the scepter to rule] of my son, as every tree. [this is the cutting off {karath} of the Messiah, but not from Himself – Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off {karath}, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end {qets} thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end {qets} of the war {between darkness and light} desolations are determined {charats – this decreed end}.]
11 And he has given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon your thigh.
13 Because it is a trial [bachan], and what if the sword [this word of God, from His mouth] contemn even the rod [shebet – the scepter to rule]? it shall be no more, says the LORD God [until he comes whose right it is, as in the title].
14 You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite [nakar] your hands together and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which enters into their privy chambers [chadar – the things hidden in their ignorance: death].
15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates [against their mouths, which hold men in death and hell], that their heart [minds] may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.
16 Go you one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever your face is set.
17 I will also smite [nakah] hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.
18 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
19 Also, you son of man, appoint you two ways [light and darkness], that the sword of the king of Babylon [the confusion that now rules the world] may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land [‘erets – earth]: and choose you a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath [the great men of the world] of the Ammonites [who separate God’s people and weaken them], and to Judah in Jerusalem the defensed.
21 For the king of Babylon [the confusion that rules the world, wrought by the words of wicked men in power] stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright [baraq – claiming their confusion is understanding], he consulted with images [their creations], he looked in the liver [to darken this deep, which purges the body of corruption].
22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates [of heaven], to cast a mount, and to build a fort.
23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he [the LORD] will call to remembrance [zakar] the iniquity, that they may be taken.
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God; Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered [zakar], in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that you are come to remembrance [zakar], you shall be taken with the hand.
25 And you, profane wicked prince of Israel [who is like Reuben, sitting in God’s place], whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,
26 Thus says the LORD God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he [Shiloh, the seed of Joseph] come whose right it is; and I will give it him.
28 And you, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the LORD God concerning the Ammonites [who have scattered My people], and concerning their reproach; even say you, The sword [this word from My mouth], the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume [kuwl] because of the glittering [baraq]: [The word kuwl refers us to its use in Proverbs 18:14, the passage speaking examining a matter before speaking about it, saying “12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor is humility. 13 He {the proud} that answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame unto him {when in the end his words are realized to be foolish opinions: foundationless creations of their own minds}. 14 The {humble} spirit of a man will sustain {kuwl} his infirmity {strengthen him, even though he is without worldly power}; but a wounded {malicious pride that seeks to harm} spirit who can bear {nasa’ – how can he thereby rise from obscurity}? 15 {The answer is:} The heart of the prudent gets knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.” The word rendered “wounded” is the four-times used word nake’, which refers us to its use in Isaiah 16:7, the passage saying, “6 We have heard of the pride of Moab {men whose mouths are the gates holding humanity in death and hell}; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so. 7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth {a “wall of potsherds,” partial understanding that cannot stand: words meant to wound} shall you {in shame} mourn; surely they are stricken {nake’ – by their own word wounded}.]
29 Whiles they see vanity unto you, whiles they divine a lie unto you, to bring you upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.
30 Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge you in the place where you were created, in the land [‘erets – the earth] of your nativity.
31 And I will pour out my indignation [za’am] upon you, I will blow against you in the fire of my wrath, and deliver you into the hand of brutish men, and skillful to destroy.
32 You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land [‘erets – the earth]; you shall be no more remembered [zakar]: for I the LORD have spoken it.
Deuteronomy 32
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness]!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongs vengeance and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none [‘ephec – in this end time, when the old heaven and earth are in ruin, when the earth is without form {tohuw} and void {bohuw}, confused {tohuw} and empty {bohuw}] shut up [‘atsar – and none are gathering God’s people], or left [with understanding].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their [false] rock [from whom worthless words flow] in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection. [As we know, this alludes to an Apocryphal chapter of Daniel which tells of priests who proved their idols were real by placing sacrifices offered to them in a locked room, and when it was unlocked, the sacrifices were consumed {supposedly by their gods}. Daniel spread ashes {‘apher} on the floor of the room, and when it was next unlocked, the priest’s footprints were revealed in the ashes, showing they were the idols, false gods, consuming the sacrifices.]
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever.
41 If I whet my glittering [baraq] sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy [which all the world is now experiencing, even now when it remains willfully ignorant of the reality].
43 Rejoice [realizing the present LORD], O you nations [who haven’t known Him or His manner], with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land [‘adamah – the new generation I am creating], and to his people.
The word baraq: the true light that has come (not the false light, Barak: Lucifer the deceiver who won his own kingdom: the hell of his making), is further described, in its other appearances, as the voice of a multitude, speaking this message of Jehovah’s Salvation to the world. In this description, we’re instructed to remain with Him, in His presence in us, His ONE BODY, as travelers journeying into eternity with Him. Amen!
Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel [the judge {Judgment} of God], whose name was called Belteshazzar [LORD of the straitened’s treasure]; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel [the quickening word of God];
5 Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning [baraq – as the glittering sword of the LORD], and his eyes as lamps of fire [lighting the darkness], and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude [the One in many, speaking good judgment].
7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking [charadah – men’s fear, that is as a snare – see Proverbs 29:25] fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength [Godly judgment corrupted and now without strength].
9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground [the words of judgment corrupted causing the sleep of God’s people].
10 And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto you, and stand upright [understanding return and bring the awakening, the resurrection]: for unto you am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling [ra’ad – this is the trembling of the earth, when the LORD is recreating it, and looks upon it – see Psalms 104:32].
12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to chasten yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I am come for your words.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia [those who will be purified, when judgment is restored] withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael [he is in the likeness of God], one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia [princes, made kings, when judgment takes hold and righteousness is restored by them receiving correction, and understanding].
14 Now I am come to make you understand what shall befall your people in the latter days [‘achariyth]: for yet the vision is for many days.
15 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb [so he could learn and become wise].
16 And, behold, one like the similitude [dmuwth – likeness] of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said unto him that stood before me, O my LORD, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
17 For how can the servant of this my LORD talk with this my LORD? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath [life] left in me.
18 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
19 And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto you, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened [given understanding again], and said, Let my LORD speak; for you have strengthened me.
20 Then said he, Know you wherefore I come unto you? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia [those wallowing in the mire they’ve stirred with their own feet] shall come.
21 But I will show you that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holds with me in these things, but Michael [he is a man in the likeness of God] your prince.
Jeremiah 10
1 Hear [shama’ – and obey] you the word which the LORD speaks unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus says the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen [those who haven’t known Me in any generation], and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven [this full understanding seen here and now]; for the heathen [who don’t know I Am in every generation] are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cut a tree out of the forest [men they think are upright], the work of the hands of the workman [making them idols], with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not [from the corrupt positions they’ve created]. [These are the hypocrites, the hyper critical, congenital liars, witnesses against their own ignorance, exposing themselves, who are forever spewing their fallacious opinions, who will never stop, never come to the present light, because their deeds are evil. They have made their choice and therefore, by their endless disruption of peace, condemn themselves to separation from the law-abiding and peaceful.]
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not [according to this word, because there is no light in them]: they must need be borne [carried], because they cannot go [move on their own, but must be moved out of the way by the Spirit of the LORD moving upon the darkened deep]. Be not afraid of them; for [if we refuse to be affected] they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good [they are unable to produce a positive effect].
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 Who would not fear you, O King of nations? for to you does it appertain [ya’ah – only appearing this once – pertaining to I Am]: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto you [none knowing the things only You know and teach us].
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is [their idols are] a doctrine of vanities [worthless words].
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder [tsaraph – the refining of earthly value and outer appearance]: blue and purple is their clothing [covering the deception within, by which they rule]: they are all the work of cunning men [chakam – the wise men of this world, who the LORD confounds with His truth].
10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth [‘erets] shall tremble [to shake the wicked from it], and the nations [those refusing to know I Am] shall not be able to abide his indignation [za’am – which ends in these men’s destruction, which they should fear].
11 Thus shall you say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth [‘erets], even they shall perish from the [new] earth, and from under these [new] heavens.
12 He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens [this understanding spread before you] by his discretion.
13 When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens [by which His word from there comes], and he causes the vapors [the separated element of understanding] to ascend [leave the earth] from the ends of the earth [‘erets – being without understanding, ending the old and corrupt]; [and beginning the new] he [congealing the elements] makes lightnings [baraq – His glittering sword is seen] with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures [by His Spirit moving upon the darkness He gives these gifts].
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder [tsaraph] is confounded by the graven image [the idol they’ve created]: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath [life] in them.
15 They are vanity [worthless words], and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – this time when I Am come as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel [my family, the children of My correction] is the rod [shebet – the scepter to rule this new earth] of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts [a man of war] is his name [I Am, His identity].
17 Gather up your wares [pack and move] out of the land [‘erets – the old earth], O inhabitant of the fortress [matsowr – the place of oppression, against which I Am laying siege].
18 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will sling [qala’ – a seven times used word referring us to its use in 1 Samuel 25:29] out the inhabitants of the land [‘erets] at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 Woe is me for my [the carcass of My dead body] hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not [the same words Rachel cries out, in Jeremiah 31:15, speaking of Ephraim: God’s people at large in this last and first generation]: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered [as it is].
22 Behold, the noise [qowl – the voice] of the bruit [shmuw’ah – the report heard from Jehovah, I Am in this generation of the dead who are raised to life] is come, and a great commotion [ra’ash – the voice “shaking” heaven and earth, which brings the dead bones together and causes men to discern and choose good over evil] out of the north country [revealed from the darkness of men’s ignorance], to make the cities of Judah [the current crop of corrupt leaders] desolate, and a den of dragons [tanniym – men as serpents and whales, with their wide open mouths devouring men and swallowing them into the belly of hell].
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself [but to You it appertains, to guide and direct him into a good way]: it is not in man that walks [astray into his own evil way] to direct his steps.
24 O LORD, correct me [back onto the right path], but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on your name [Your manifested identity: I Am]: for they have eaten up Jacob [and swallowed him into the belly of hell], and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation [this old and totally corrupt earth] desolate.
2 Samuel 22
1 And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence [chamac].
4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented [were set before] me;
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings [kanaph] of the wind.
12 And he made darkness [ignorance of Him] pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning [baraq – this glittering sword, His understanding from His mouth: our mouths], and discomfited them.
16 And the channels of the sea [His word flowing to His people] appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters [out of the confused language of this time when insanity rules];
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
27 With the pure you will show yourself pure [barar]; and with the froward [those twisting and perverting truth] you will show yourself unsavory.
28 And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bring them down.
29 For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten [give understanding to] my darkness [of the things of which I am ignorant].
30 For by you I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall [of lies upon lies].
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to [magen – the shield covering] all them that trust in him.
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33 God is my strength and power [chayil]: and he makes my way perfect.
34 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet: and sets me upon my high places [bamah].
35 He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness [‘anavah – humility] has made me great.
37 You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 For you have girded me with strength [chayil] to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
41 You have also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45 Strangers shall submit [kachash – shall be found liars] themselves unto me [warned, realizing they’ve been deceived and are spreading deception that destroys others and will destroy them]: [they will believe] as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46 Strangers shall fade away [for all shall know the LORD], and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock [from whom this living water flows]; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation [His voice above all others].
48 It is God that avenges me, and that brings down the people under me.
49 And that brings me forth from my enemies: you also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man [chamac].
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto your name.
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed forevermore.
2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, He that rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
4 And he shall be as the light of the morning [the understanding that brings this new day], when the sun rises [the LORD’s ONE BODY, The Church], even a morning [a new day] without clouds [when understanding is on the earth, as it is in heaven]; as the tender grass springing [new life from the earth, as on the third day of creation] out of the earth by clear shining [air cleared of the smoke that came from the bottomless pit, by the understanding sent forth from the LORD] after rain [His living water sent from heaven].
5 Although my house be not [yet] so with God; yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he makes it not to grow [until now at this promised end, tribulation from which we are delivered].
6 But the sons of Belial [who worship the idols that have corrupted heaven and earth] shall be all of them as thorns [misleaders] thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
7 But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron [barzel] and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.
Nahum 3
1 Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departs not;
2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
3 The horseman lifts up both the bright sword and the glittering [baraq] spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that sells nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
5 Behold, I am against you, says the LORD of hosts; and I will discover your skirts upon your face, and I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon you, and make you vile, and will set you as a gazing-stock.
7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon you shall flee from you, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for you?
8 Are you better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
9 Ethiopia and Egypt [the oppressors who remain covered in darkness: men’s ignorance] were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were your helpers.
10 Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11 You also shall be drunken: you shall be hid, you also shall seek strength because of the enemy.
12 All your strong holds shall be like fig trees with the first-ripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Behold, your people in the midst of you are women: the gates of your land shall be set wide open unto your enemies: the fire shall devour your bars.
14 Draw you waters for the siege, fortify your strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick-kiln [the furnace].
15 There shall the fire devour you; the sword shall cut you off, it shall eat you up like the cankerworm: make yourself many as the cankerworm, make yourself many as the locusts.
16 You have multiplied your merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoils, and flees away.
17 Your crowned are as the locusts, and your captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun [the LORD’s ONE BODY] arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
18 Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria [communists]: your nobles shall dwell in the dust: your people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathers them.
19 There is no healing of your bruise; your wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of you shall clap the hands over you [drawing attention to you and exposing your malicious foolishness]: for upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually?
Psalms 77
A Psalms of Asaph [the Gatherer]
1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
2 In the day of my trouble [tsarah – this tribulation] I sought the LORD [‘Adonay – the King of kings]: my sore ran [yad nagar – my power left me] in the night [this time when ignorance covers the earth], and ceased not: my soul [sleeping in death] refused to be comforted [by the word of God leading me into all truth and life].
3 I remembered [zakar] God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed [‘ataph – was shrouded, covered by my own confusion]. Selah [think and understand this].
4 You [LORD] hold [‘achaz – seized] my eyes [‘ayin] waking [shmurah – only used here, meaning to awaken by opening them]: I am so troubled [pa’am – to agitate the spirit, by truth contradicting the thoughts {the confusion of mind} into awaking] that I cannot speak [as I should].
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance [zakar] my song [ngiynah – Your word sent to me of old] in the night [to give light in previous times of darkness]: I commune [siyach – I heard Your voice conversing] with my own heart [in my mind]: and my spirit made diligent search [for You in Your written word sent to me as a wheel within a wheel: understand sent to give understand, which is light and life].
7 Will the LORD [‘Adonay] cast off [zanach – reject us] forever [‘owlam – through all eternity]? and will he be favorable no more [yacaph – no longer adding to His family]?
8 Is his mercy clean gone forever [netsach – no longer the bright light we’ve journeyed toward]? does his promise fail for evermore [dowr – ending with this generation]?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious [not giving us His gift of light, to correct us]? has he in anger shut up his tender mercies [His promise to correct and not destroy those who trust in Him alone]? Selah [think, and know He is still the same, never wavering from Himself or His promises].
10 And I said, This is my infirmity [chalah – self-imposed grievousness of not remembering, not recognizing, not comprehending Him in His conversation and work before our eyes manifesting His presence as He always has, direct interaction with our minds eye]: but I will remember the years of the right hand [Your long-suffering our ignorance of Your presence in the word and work] of the Most High.
11 I will remember [zakar] the works of the LORD: surely I will remember [zakar] your [eye opening] wonders of old.
12 I will meditate also of all your work, and talk [siyach – converse with You] of your doings.
13 Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary [qodesh – the holy of holies, where Your presence is manifested above Your mercy seat, in the conversation]: who is so great a God as our God?
14 You are the God that does wonders: you have declared your strength among the people.
15 You have with your arm [Your work] redeemed your people [from confusion and death], the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah [think].
16 The waters [the words of ignorance that have darkened the world] saw you, O God, the waters saw you; they were afraid: the depths [what men thought they knew] also were troubled.
17 The clouds [where understanding was held, reserved, in its separated elements, to be congealed and sent in this time of the LORD’s righteous warfare] poured out water: the skies sent out a sound [qowl – Your voice thundering from this place of understanding: light]: your arrows also went abroad [halak – walked, gave understanding to Your way, of which the wise of this world are ignorant].
18 The voice [qowl] of your thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings [baraq – Your glittering sword] lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook [ra’ash – bringing our dead bone together].
19 Your way is in the sea [among humanity at large], and your path in the great waters [sent by You from heaven], and your footsteps are not known [to the dead and ignorant].
20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses [Your chosen who was drawn, separated, from the waters below: the words of ignorant men] and Aaron [sent bearing the light given as received, to give it freely].
Job 38
1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
2 Who is this that darkens counsel by [misguided, misleading] words without knowledge [of God]?
3 Gird up now your loins [prepare yourselves for this journey into the unknown] like a man; for I will demand of you, and answer you me.
4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth [here and now, as I did the old]? declare, if you have understanding.
5 Who has laid the measures thereof [from beginning to its end and now again beginning it], if you know? or who has stretched the [measuring] line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone [‘eben] thereof [now turning it again to Me];
7 When the morning stars sang together [speaking My words, bringing this new day], and all the sons of God shouted for joy [realizing My presence with them, in them as light and life]?
8 Or who shut up the sea [humanity] with doors, when it brake forth [with its own words and ways of corruption], as if it had issued out of the womb [thinking to create themselves into something they made in their own evil image]?
9 When I made the cloud [the earth without the understanding held there] the garment thereof, and thick darkness [their ignorance and confusion their ways create] a swaddling-band [protecting them from themselves] for it,
10 And [by their own doing] brake up for it my decreed [choq – this appointed time and] place, and set bars and doors [holding them in the hell they created],
11 And said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves be stayed [shiyth – made to end, at the beginning by this word again established]?
12 Have you commanded the morning [this sun to rise upon all] since your days; and caused the day-spring [shachar – dawn] to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends [ending the old age and beginning the new] of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned [haphak – Him overturning ignorance] as clay to the seal [chowtham – this shaking is My signature pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment [My righteousness covering My ONE flesh BODY].
15 And from the wicked their light [understanding] is withheld, and the high arm [the wicked in power] shall be broken.
16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea? or have you walked in search of the depth [this deep understanding held below the surface]?
17 Have the gates of death [and hell] been opened unto you? or have you seen the doors [the way into and out] of the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth [start to finish] of the earth? declare if you know it all.
19 Where is the way where light dwells [it is with God alone]? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof [which is in the earth that’s rejected Him],
20 That you shouldest take it to the bound thereof [now, when every eye sees the result of following the wicked into debilitating and dysfunctional insanity], and that you should know the paths [followed] to the house thereof?
21 Know you it, because you were then born? or because the number of your days is great?
22 Have you entered into the treasures of the snow? or have you seen the treasures of the hail [the LORD’s understanding frozen in heaven, there reserved until it’s now sent, both as purity and against the current corrupt crop of the wicked in power],
23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and [My just] war?
24 By what way is the light parted [into these many colors, showing the sign that I have not come to destroy, as men have, but to save, to rescue the willing from destruction], which scatters the east wind [My Almighty Spirit working to change the minds of man] upon the earth?
25 Who has divided a watercourse [revealing, in the experience, what man’s words and ways of ignorance produce] for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder [My voice heard as the sound of understanding from the cloud];
26 To cause it to rain [My word from heaven] on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb [new life] to spring forth?
28 Has the rain a father? or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who has gendered it [brought it forth in a known form from its progenitor]?
30 The waters are hid as with a stone [‘eben – in me, hidden in my flesh, from where His voice flows], and the face of [paniym – manifesting the LORD’s presence, revealing] the deep [that] is frozen.
31 Can you bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
32 Can you bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or can you guide [nachah – lead] Arcturus with his sons? [now, when God’s people have become as many at the stars of heaven He’s awakened, as He promised]
33 Know you the ordinances [chuqqah – the limit ordained and appointed] of heaven? can you set the dominion thereof in [by unbreakable decree, ruling] the earth?
34 Can you lift up your voice to the clouds [where My understanding is held], that abundance of waters [My words] may cover you?
35 Can you send lightnings [baraq – this glittering sword giving understanding from there], that they may go and say unto you, Here we are [as in me, saying here I Am]?
36 Who has put [shiyth – stayed the proud wave of the wicked, by] wisdom in the inward parts? or who has given understanding to the heart [mind]?
37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven [keep understanding held there],
38 When [ignorance covers the earth without this word of God] the dust grows into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
39 Will you hunt the prey [seek this understanding] for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions [from whom it will be heard roaring],
40 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait [for it to come from the mouth of lions]?
41 Who provides for the raven [covered in darkness] his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat [without this deep understanding].
Psalms 144
A Psalm of David
1 Blessed be the LORD my strength [who has given me His mind, His endless, relentless, understanding] which teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdues my people under me.
3 LORD, what is man, that you take knowledge of him! or the son of man, that you make account of him!
4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passes away.
5 Bow your heavens [where Your understanding is always and from where it is sent], O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains [all the corrupt institutions of church and state], and they shall smoke.
6 Cast forth [baraq] lightning [baraq – Your understanding sent as a glittering sword from Your throne in the cloud], and scatter them: shoot out your arrows, and destroy them.
7 Send your hand [Your work] from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters [the many ignorant opinions of many antichrists], from the hand of strange children [who ignorantly offer strange fire in Your name];
8 Whose mouth speak vanity [worthless words], and their right hand is a right hand of [their work and their power, which is] falsehood.
9 I will sing a new song [repeating these words you have given all to be repeated as received] unto you, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto you.
10 It is he that gives salvation unto kings: who delivers David [I Am] his servant from the hurtful sword [words of guile and malice].
11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouths speak vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace [from where You rule in righteousness]:
13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14 That our oxen [those working in the earth] may be strong to labor; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
