22 – 23 March 2025
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
Friends, today’s message from the LORD is one we’ve all heard before, but is now, this moment, with urgency because the LORD in it again reveals Himself as the author, His authority (in me alone) speaking and working. This (word and decision) is the judgment He’s charged me with executing in His name (manifesting His presence).
As we well know, there are many voices speaking their own opinions, sitting in God’s place, contradicting Him, and demonizing His (this) work. By this, they judge themselves and are justly sentenced to condemnation.
The word above, in Mark 1:22, rendered “astonished” is ekplesso, from the words ek (through) and the once-used word plesso, meaning “apparently another form of 4111 (through the idea of flattening out); to pound, i.e. (figuratively) to inflict with (calamity).” The latter word is presumed to be from the twice-used word plasso (4111), meaning to mold, i.e. shape or fabricate.”
Zechariah 2
13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
Matthew 11
23 And you, Capernaum [to whom the Comforter has come, speaking and working unknown in this time of total ignorance of God], which [to men whose words] are exalted unto heaven [saying you have your own understanding, your covenant with death, your agreement with hell], shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent [corrupted by the world], and have revealed them unto babes [who willingly receive these treasures].
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden [by the words of evil men], and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light [double meaning intended].
1 Corinthians 9
23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you [in the same ONE BODY, the LORD’s family].
24 Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receive the prize? So run, that you may obtain.
25 And every man that strives for the mastery [agonizomai – wars against corruption, to exalt this word of God above all other voices] is temperate [self-restrained] in all things. Now, they [the corrupt] do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we do it for an incorruptible one [which is understanding the Father alone gives His children].
Isaiah 8
7 Now, therefore, behold, the LORD brings [brought] up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria [the communist attack against church and state, with words of death, leading our nation and people into self-destruction], and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks [corrupting all truth in the word of God]:
8 And he shall pass through Judah [against the leaders of God’s people]; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck [they with their words prevailed and stopped the word of God from ever reaching the mouth of any]; and the stretching out of his wings [their voice exalted above all voices] shall fill the breadth of your land, [against whom the LORD comes, manifesting His presence with us] O Immanuel [‘Immanuw ‘el].
9 Associate [corrupt] yourselves, O you people, and you shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you of far countries [merchaq ‘erets – the earth in this time appointed and decreed by the LORD]: gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together [speaking worthless ignorance against the present LORD], and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God [‘el] is with us [‘immanuw].
11 For the LORD spoke thus to me [I Am, His man of war] with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, [He] saying [to me],
12 “Say you not, ‘A confederacy [joined with the ignorant and corrupt],’ to all them to whom this people shall say, ‘A confederacy [of the corrupt];’ neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify the LORD [declare the present LORD Holy, exalt His one voice from His holy one] of hosts [a man of war] himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 And he [in His presence] shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel [his people who reject Him], for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem [who refuse to receive the peace that flows from His chosen one].
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken [lakad], and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony [this word of Shiloh, of peace flowing from the LORD’s chosen flesh], seal the law among my disciples [My students, who see as I see].”
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides [Cathar – hides in men’s chosen ignorance] his face [paniym – His presence] from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him [qavah – expect to see Him by His understanding learned].
18 Behold, I [the son of David, the son of Joseph] and the children [upon who these sure mercies of David have come] whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwells in mount Zion [His throne here on the earth].
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits [the known dead, the misleading words of the communists that are known to be the death of men and nations], and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? [Why are they still looking] for the living to the dead?
20 [When they should be looking] To the law and to the testimony [this word of Shiloh, peace that flows from the LORD’s teaching]: if they speak not according to this word [exalting His voice above all other voices], it is because there is no light [understanding] in them.
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry [refusing the word of God]: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry [without this word of God], they shall fret themselves, and curse their king [I Am the promised son of David, the son of Joseph] and their God, and [ignorantly] look [panah – turn their heads] upward [not believing He is manifesting His presence in His word spoken through His chosen].
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble [tsarah – tribulation] and darkness [ignorance], dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness [into the now obvious insanity].
As we know, the LORD’s words above are paraphrased and thereby referenced in 1 Peter 3:14 and 15. The passage speaks of those fearing doing this work of the LORD: speaking His truth and declaring His presence therein. It speaks of the dead body of Christ, held in prison (death and hell), where He rises and speaks life into it. The passage, as does all scripture, describes this moment, this resurrection in which we now find (understanding of) ourselves (as He gives it).
1 Peter 3
8 Finally, be you all of one mind [this same understanding], having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing [giving this same blessing, this understanding received from the LORD directly]; knowing that you are thereunto called, that you should inherit a blessing [as Ephraim, the LORD’s people in this last generation that become the first of the new generation, raised to life in this resurrection].
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil [misleading words of generational corruption], and his lips that they speak no guile [words now known to be evil but continually spoken, to avoid the necessary long-suffering that comes with speaking these in the LORD’s name declaring they are His presence manifested with us, in us]:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace [that flows to all in His words], and ensue it.
12 For the eyes of the LORD are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face [presence] of the LORD is against them that do evil.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers [mimetes – only used seven times, all speaking of following the LORD by following those following Christ alive in them] of that which is good?
14 But and if you suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are you: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
15 But sanctify [declaring holy] the LORD God in your hearts [minds]: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope [expect the LORD to manifest His presence in this expected end] that is in you with meekness [not as destroyers but rather as builders] and fear [knowing the LORD is always present]:
16 Having a good conscience [co-perspective; seeing as the LORD sees]; that, whereas they [those ignorant of Him] speak evil of [by their corrupt understanding against] you, as of evildoers, they may [at the LORD’s appearing] be ashamed [not reaching the end they seek, which is the destruction of our good conversation] that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ [the LORD alive in us speaking and working unknown to those ignorant by choice].
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that you suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
18 For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened [dead flesh brought to life] by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison [here in death and hell];
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism [calling all to repentance, and to enter into His kingdom of heaven: this full understanding that comes to those who continue in His word] does also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience [speaking with the LORD’s co-perspective, seeing as he sees] toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ [here and now]:
22 Who is gone into heaven [this full understanding], and is on the right hand of God [doing His work]; angels [messengers] and authorities [exousia – then same word as in the title verse] and powers being made subject [hupotasso – made to subordinate] unto him.
The original text, in the original language, tells the truth, of which men were astonished and, therefore, changed its meaning.
Mark 1
21 And they went into Capernaum [to whom the Comforter has come, speaking and working unknown in this time of total ignorance of God]; and straightway on the sabbath day [the time of this interruption of men’s work, to bring light that corrects back onto the right course] he entered into the synagogue [sunagoge – speaking of the church, the body in which light should be found; with intention meaning the gathering together {sun} of leaders (ago) who lead the world {ge}], and taught [didasko – teaching teachers].
22 And they were astonished [ekplessso – because their minds were leavened with corruption] at his doctrine [didache – His teaching]: for he taught them as one that had [echinda] authority [exousia – power; from the words meaning through {ex} having {ousa} substance {ousia}], and not as the scribes [who should have this substance, but instead replaced it with their worthless opinions]. [The word ousia only appears twice, in Luke 15:12 & 13, describing who these scribes {the peeping and muttering wizards who’ve left their Father, falsely so-called experts, of our time} are, saying “And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods {ousia} that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance {ousia} with riotous living.]
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean [akathartos – not {a} purged of corruption {kathairo}] spirit; and he cried out, [The word kathairo {meaning according to things take away or up, as in elements separated and taken into the cloud: the smoke from the bottomless pit that darkened the sun, moon, and stars} only appears twice, John 15:2 & Hebrews 10:2, the first saying, “2 Every branch in me that bear not fruit he taketh away {airo}: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges {kathairo} it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now you are clean {katharos} through the word which I have spoken unto you.” And the other saying, “1 For the law {the written word} having a shadow {blocking the light: understanding} of good things to come {mello – be about to be restored}, and not the very image {eikon – the likeness of God, His presence manifested below the surface] of the things, can never with those sacrifices {just reading the word without going into the deep} which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect {teleioo – complete, fulfilled, understanding this is the LORD’s presence manifested with us, in us}. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged [kathairo] should have had no more conscience {suneidesis – co-perspective} of sins {the errors that keep us from reaching perfection}.”]
24 [Those refusing to be purged] Saying, “Let us alone; what have we to do with you, you Jesus of Nazareth [separated from sin for this work of God]? are you come to destroy us [I have been sent to destroy corruption and save the body]? I know you who you are, the Holy One of God.”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace [phimoo – to muzzle, make silent, unable to bite], and come out of him [removing the unclean spirit possessing the minds of men].
26 And when the unclean [akathartos] spirit had torn [by this word drawn out of] him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves [all that they had learned], saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine [didache – teaching] is this? for with authority [exousia – having substance: power] commands he even the unclean [akathartos] spirits [who before refused to be purged], and they do obey him.
28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee [those outside His inner circle, not yet joined with His elect remnant, not yet joining us in this wheel within a wheel, this understand sent from below the surface, to give understanding, which is light and life from the dead].
29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 But Simon’s wife’s mother [those bringing up, teaching, children, outside the traditional churches] lay [katakeimai – this is where {Acts 28:8} Publius {popular voices} lay in the same condition] sick of a fever [puesso – was on fire], and anon [eutheos – well, good {eu} of God {theos}; seeking the wellness that only comes from God] they tell him of her.
31 And he came and took her by the hand [to pull, lead, her out of the fires], and lifted her up [egeiro – awakened her, bring her to a right mind]; and immediately [eutheos – God making her well] the fever [puretos – the flames] left her, and she ministered [this same word that made her well] unto them.
32 And at even, when the sun did set [when darkness, ignorance, was realized to have corrupted all the church institutions], they brought unto him all that were diseased [from the two words echidna {had or have} and kakos {worthless}; meaning they are possessed by the vain, corrupt, things they’ve learned], and them that were possessed with devils [possessed by the misleaders they follow in their churches, teaching them the idols their churches created are their gods, men who replaced the holy with their abominations that caused the desolation of the church and thereby the world].
33 And all the city [New Heavenly Jerusalem] was gathered together [episunago – beside the one who led them together] at the door [thura – John 10:9 I am the door {thura}: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 1 Corinthans 16:9 For a great door {thura} and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. 11 Now if Timothy come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he works the work of the LORD, as I also do.].
34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases [in the original text it’s nosois – lacking the knowledge of God], and cast out many devils [misleaders]; and suffered not the devils to speak [telling them to stop teaching corruption], because they knew him.
35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day [long before this understanding is come], he went out, and departed into a solitary place [this time of desolation come from the abomination men put in God’s place], and there prayed.
36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for you.
38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
So, the know-nothings, whose faith is in their ignorance, whose ignorance is their glory, who are incorrigible, who refuse grace, who are proud, without hope, (you know) the religious, who say how dare I think I know everything. I reject their foolish premise. I know nothing of myself. I know the living God, Jehovah, who knows all, and I obediently speak as I receive the good things He reveals. I ask them, who do they speak for when they speak against Him: the Holy Spirit: Jehovah speaking and working unknown to reveal Himself in the flesh?
The one time the word plesso appears it’s in Revelation 8:12, speaking of when church government (the sun), civil government (the moon), and God’s people (the star) were “smitten” and a third part was darkened. This description speaks of a third part of what they learn is corrupt, which, like leaven, corrupts the whole body.
Revelation 8
1 And when he had opened the seventh seal [giving this following understanding of how all understanding, all knowledge of God, was corrupted and removed from the earth], there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints [hagios – these are the “holy men” spoken of by Peter in 2 Peter 1:21] upon the golden altar which was before the throne. [2 Peter 1: 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn {and this light comes}, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation {not by men knowing something by themselves}. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy {hagios} men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.]
4 And the smoke of the incense [the understanding these men perceived as the LORD moved in their minds], which came with the prayers of the saints , ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices [of holy men], and thunderings [their voices as the mouth of the LORD from the cloud], and lightnings [understanding sent from the cloud], and an earthquake [to shake the wicked from their seats of power and from places where understanding should be found and isn’t]. [This event is that foretold by Enoch, recorder in Jude 1, saying, “12 These are spots {spilas – false rocks among the sea: men saying they are speaking for God while they are in fact opposing and resisting Him} in your feasts of charity {agape – against this word of God given as received}, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds {places of understanding} they are without water {not bringing these elements of understanding together}, carried about of winds {of their own false teaching}; trees whose fruit {now} wither, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 Raging {proud} waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars {planets deceiving those following them in the darkness}, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness {remaining ignorant of their own ignorance} forever. 14 And Enoch also, the seventh {angel, messenger with this message} from Adam, prophesied {speaking the word of God as received} of these, saying, Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints {hagios – holy men speaking His word}, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have {ignorant of His presence} spoken against him. 16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouths speaking great swelling {with pride, from huperogkos, only appearing elsewhere in 2 Peter 2:18} words, having men’s persons {their position in the seat of power} in admiration because of advantage. 17 But, beloved, remember you the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our LORD Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time {which we know in the Hebrew is “achariyth; referring us to Proverbs 5:4}, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit {and thereby, taking the LORD’s name in vain, speaking their own words as devils possessed by Satan}.] [Proverbs 5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow {subordinate} your ear to my understanding: 2 That you may regard discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge. 3 For the lips of a strange woman {the unfaithful church} drop as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But her end {‘achariyth} is bitter as wormwood {la’anah}, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. 6 Lest {therefore} you shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable {not remaining with the LORD}, that you can not know them {cannot by her ignorant words know the path into life}. 7 Hear {shama’ – hear this voice of the LORD and obey} me now therefore, O you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.]
6 And the seven angels [as Enoch] which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound [giving this understanding revealing {apokalupto – this apocalypse} the ungodly and the things they have spoken against the LORD]
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail [this understanding reserved, frozen, in heaven, sent against the current crop of corrupt leaders] and [as] fire [from the LORD’s mouth] mingled with blood [the necessary sacrifice of those declaring His word and His presence therein], and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees [the so-called upright men of the world] was burnt up, and all green grass [and all life from the earth with them] was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain [the corrupt governments of church and state] burning with fire was cast into the sea [humanity at large, over which they loom]: and the third part of the sea became blood [was revealed to be draining life from the world];
9 And the third part of the creatures [the creations of men] which were in the sea, and had life [before had understanding], died; and the third part of the ships [the institutions moving upon the humanity] were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star [wormwood, corrupting all judgment] from heaven [where understanding was once found, and now misleaders], burning as it were a lamp [as if it were showing the way in the darkness], and it fell upon the third part of the rivers [the teaching that flows into the sea], and upon the fountains of waters [corrupting the words all drink];
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun [the church] was smitten [plesso – the calamity that changed its form], and the [same to a] third part of the moon civil institutions], and the [same to a] third part of the stars [God’s people]; so as the third part of them was darkened [corrupted, by flattering {plesso – pounding, flattening}, into the whole without understanding of God], and the day [this understanding, light, life] shone not for a third part of it [corrupting all the church], and the night [darkening the moon and the stars] likewise.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying [with complete understanding of God heard through Him] through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
The word plasso first appears in Romans 9:20, and secondly, complementing the first, in 1 Timothy 2:13. The first of these leads us to the final “woe” spoken of above, in quoiting Isaiah 45:9 where the word yatsar is rendered “fashioned,” speaking of those questioning, second-guessing, what the LORD has made (fashioned): the one through whom His One voice is heard and those he’s (I Am) sent to correct.
Isaiah 45
1 Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus [I Am – the LORD walking with us in the furnace], whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates [out of death and hell]; and the gates [into heaven] shall not be shut;
2 I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight [making pure what was corrupted]: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give you the treasures [‘owtsar] of darkness [this truth only hidden in men’s taught ignorance], and hidden riches of secret places, that you mayest know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name, am the God of Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded [‘azar – with these provisions I prepared: these treasures given] you, though you have not known me [while I spoke and worked among you]:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun [this understanding returning to His people], and from the west [to be shined upon all in due time], that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I [mold into] form [yatsar] the light [to again give the earth form], and create [bara’ – to cut down] darkness: I make [‘asah – not only speak, but do] peace, and create [bara’ – to cut down] evil: I the LORD do [‘asah] all these things.
8 Drop down [ra’aph – this latter rain as distilled waters: purified words], you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth [‘erets] open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together [to fill the void]; I the LORD have created it [bara’ – after I, as Gideon, cut down].
9 Woe unto him that strives with his Maker [yatsar – the fashioner]! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioned [yatsar] it, What make [‘asha] you? or your work, He has no hands?
10 Woe unto him that says unto his father, What beget you? or to the woman, What have you brought forth?
11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker [yatsar], Ask me of things to come concerning my [corrected] sons, and concerning the work of my hands command you me.
12 I have [again] made [‘asah] the earth, and created [bara’ – cut down] man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens [this understanding given in the firmament: this exposition], and all their host [my army I Am raising to life again] have I commanded [to hear My voice and obey My correction].
13 I have raised him up [into life] in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city [New Heavenly Jerusalem, upon the ruin of the old], and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war].
14 Thus says the LORD, The labor of Egypt [the wicked tyrants sitting in seats of power over God’s people], and merchandise of Ethiopia [those covered in darkness] and of the Sabeans [the drunkards, drunk with power and pride], men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be yours: they shall come after you; in chains [ziyqah – as sparks seen after striking the flint, and caused the fires burning up the earth] they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, saying, Surely God is in you; and there is none else, there is no God.
15 Truly you are a God that hides yourself [in flesh], O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 But Israel [My people who, by faith, receive Me and My promise] shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: you shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 For thus says the LORD that created the heavens [old and new]; God himself that formed [yatsar] the earth [‘erets] and made it [bara’ – cut it down]; he has established [kuwn] it, he created [bara’ – cut down] it not in vain [for no reason], he formed it [yatsar – gave it form again] to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret [but rather here before the eyes of all], in a dark place of [not with the words of ignorance that rule] the earth [‘erets], I said not unto the seed of Jacob [those unaware they are wrestling with Me and My word], [diligently] Seek you me in vain [for no reason, but I promised you would find Me when faith comes]: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Assemble yourselves [into My ONE BODY] and come; draw near together, you that are escaped of the nations [escaped from among those who remain in darkness refusing the hear, see, and obey Me]: they have no knowledge that set up the wood [I have cut down] of their graven image [abominations they put in My place and call by My name], and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Tell you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared [shama’ – in the flesh the first to hear and obey these provisions, at My will raising Myself as needed, as the Chief Overseer of the earth: its author and finisher] this from ancient time? who has told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me, and be you saved, all the ends of the earth [old and new, ending and beginning]: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me [My manifested presence] every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear [I live].
24 Surely, shall [I Am] one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertains the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God [to them] has taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall your seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls;)
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16 So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.
17 For the scripture says unto Pharaoh [as to Obama and his idiot seed], Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 Therefore has he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
19 You will say then unto me, Why does he yet find fault? For who [possessed by Satan] has resisted his will?
20 Nay but, O man, who are you that replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed [plesso] it, Why have you made me thus? [quoted from Isaiah 45:9]
21 Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24 Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As he says also in Hosea [in Hosea 1:9 & 10], I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place [this nation] where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 Isaiah also cries [Isaiah 10:22 & 23] concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the LORD make upon the earth.
29 And as Isaiah [in Isaiah 1:9] said before, Except the LORD of Sabaoth [a man of war] had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like unto Gomorrah.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone;
33 As it is written [in Isaiah 28:16], Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling-stone and rock of offense: and whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator [I Am] between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
7 Whereunto I Am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles [those who haven’t known the LORD always with us, in us] in faith and verity.
8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands [works], without wrath and [not] doubting [it is the LORD in us speaking and working]
9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Let the woman [the church] learn [from the man, Christ Jesus: Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in my flesh] in silence with all subjection [hupotage – subordinating].
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach [didasko], nor to usurp authority [acting on their own authority, without substance] over the man [Christ Jesus], but to be in silence.
13 For Adam [the first man] was first formed [plasso], then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman [the church by the first misleader] being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity [agape – giving this word as received] and holiness with sobriety.
Psalm 49
1 Hear this, all you people; give ear, all you inhabitants of the world:
2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
4 I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceases forever:)
9 That he should still live forever, and not see corruption.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue forever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honor abides [remains] not [with the LORD]: he [without His Holy Spirit] is like the beasts that perish.
13 This their [choosing their own] way is their folly: yet their posterity approves their [corrupt] sayings. Selah.
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave [sheol – hell]; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning [when the light of the new creation comes]; and their beauty shall consume in the grave [sheol – hell] from their dwelling.
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave [sheol – hell]: for he shall receive me. Selah.
16 Be not you afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away [into his next life]: his glory shall not descend [into hell] after him.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise you, when you do well to thyself.
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light [this understanding and life].
20 Man that is in honor, and understands not, is [with His Holy Spirit] like the beasts that perish.
