The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God.

21 – 22 April 2025

The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God.

With the realization that all the written word of God is intended for this moment, to give us an understanding of our current experience, the above verse (John 10:33) does just that. The spiritually intended meaning of stoning is that it speaks of those people trust and listen to, casting words (accusations) in the LORD’s name. It’s an act of the zealously religious leaders, who learned and teach lies, here specifically the rapture, which is the most egregious abuse, scriptural malpractice, that causes otherwise well-intentioned people to believe and hope for something that will never occur as described. It is so ingrained in its believers that speaking against it (the lie) brings immediate stoning (as described here) in God’s name. See James 3:11 below.

James 3
1 My brethren, be not many masters [didaskelos – teachers, the subject of all below], knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Behold also the ships [ploion], which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds [anemos – of false doctrines], yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor wills.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles [corrupts, leavens] the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse [kayaraomai – meaning to doom {to condemnation and perdition}, in context, by vilifying this word and work of the present LORD whose come to save them from lies and the devils telling them] we men, which are made [ginomai – come into being, become] after [kata – in accord] the similitude [homoiosis – only used here, meaning by assimilation] of God [by having His One minds].
10 Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing [as they do from the good-intentioned who speak lies in the LORD’s name]. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if you have bitter envying [zelos – zealously defending and desiring things that are not true] and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying [zelos] and strife [arguing against the truth] is, there is confusion [Babylon] and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure [without corruption], then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness [truth] is sown in peace of them that make peace [ending the argument].

The “door” the LORD describes Himself as, below in John 10, through which He is seen: enters, becomes apparent: is heard (knocking) and then seen again (when the door is opened) in His word and work, is thura, meaning “a portal or entrance (the opening or the closure, literally or figuratively).”

1 Corinthians 16
5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia [through death, through the houses, churches, filled with dead flesh, into life]: for I do pass through Macedonia.
6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter [during this time when the days are darkened and shortened] with you, that you may bring me on my journey [into life] whithersoever I go.
7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry [I will remain] a while with you, if the LORD permit.
8 But I will tarry [remain] at Ephesus [permitted to speak] until Pentecost [the fiftieth day, the Jubilee, when all are freed from death’s sleep, with the LORD’s rising with us, in us].
9 For a great door [thura] and effectual [the power of God word working in us] is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
10 Now if Timotheus comes [erchomai – flowing these utterances], see that he may be with you without fear: for he works the work of the LORD, as I also do.
11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come [erchomai] unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.

Colossians 4
1 Masters [kurios – The word most often rendered LORD], give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that you also have a Master [kurios – the LORD of lords] in heaven [the ONE God who is always in the place of full understanding].
2 Continue in prayer [conversation with Him at His mercy seat], and watch [from Him, hearing Him and expecting to see Him] in the same with thanksgiving;
3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door [thura] of utterance [giving us His word to be spoken in His name manifesting His presence with us, in us], to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
4 That I may make it [His presence] manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech be always with grace [this gift from Him, in which His mercy is found], seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.

John 10
1 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that enter [eiserchomai – the point reached, the realized origin from where this utterance flows] not by the door [thura] into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that enters [eiserchomai] in by the door [thura] is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter [thuroros – the those called to watch the portal, a four times used word referring us to it use in Mark 13:34] opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name [by their identity, as in verse 34 below, saying “I said, You are gods”], and leads them out. [Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory {teaching this understanding held there}. 27 And then shall he send his angels {His messenger with this message}, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds {where they have been scattered by those who put themselves in God’s place, to be worshipped as if they are God}, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree {the God’s people}; When her branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves {new life appearing in those who’ve entered with Him}, you know that summer is near: 29 So you in like manner, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors {thura – Him known}. 30 Truly I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 32 But of that day and that hour knows no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 33 Take you heed, watch and pray: for you know not when the time is. 34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter {thuroros} to watch. 35 Watch you therefore: for you know not when the master of the house comes, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36 Lest coming suddenly he finds you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.]
4 And when he puts forth [as leaves, which are for the “healing of the nations:” {those who haven’t known Him, haven’t heard or seen Him, in}] his own sheep, he goes before [emprosthen – manifesting His presence with them, in them, to lead] them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger [not following the LORD, teaching strange fire] will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable [word in which a deeper meaning is held below the surface] spoke Jesus unto them: but they understood not [until now at this appointed time] what things they were which he spoke unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Truly, truly, I say unto you, I am the door [thura] of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door [thura]: by me if any man enter in [eiserchomai – reaches this expected end, the LORD realized as the origin of this word as if flowing from a stone that can be trusted], he shall be saved, and shall go in [eiserchomai] and out, and find [green] 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 [These are the first words the LORD ever spoke through me and declared it was Him speaking.].
11 I Am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. [Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul {to life}: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s {identity} sake {to establish Himself present}. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.]
12 But he that is a hireling [misthtos – wage workers, speaking of those preaching in the false churches for money, away from which the LORD’s disciples must come], and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, see the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf catches [harpazo – “caught up” in false doctrines, here specifically speaking of the false rapture doctrine, and the endless arguing about vain foundationless opinions] them, and scatters the sheep.
13 The hireling [misthotos] flees, because he is a hireling [misthotos], and cares not for the sheep. [The word misthotos only appears one other time, in Mark 1:20, saying “And straightway he called them {His disciples}: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship {ploion – the corrupt church institution} with the hired servants [misthotos – hired to preach corruption}, and {putting Satan behind, opiso, them} went after {opiso – followed} him.]
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold [the LORD’s ONE risen BODY], and one [good] shepherd.
17 Therefore does my Father love [agapao – gives His word without limit to] me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power [by His word in me] to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father [that by speaking His word I live by Him alive in me]. [Romans 10:9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus [is alive in you], and shall believe in your heart [mind] that God has [in this manner] raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.10 For with the heart [mind] man believes [He is present with us, in us] unto [His] righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.]
19 There was a division, therefore, again among the Jews [the religious leaders haven’t known Him] for these sayings.
20 And many of them said, He has a devil [a misleader possessed by Satan], and is mad [insane]; why hear you him?
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that has a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication [agkainia – only used here, with affinity to the words egeiro {awakening} and kainos {new}], and it was winter [when the days are darkened and shortened].
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch [teaching Solomon’s wisdom to those who haven’t known the LORD].
24 Then came the Jews [the religious leaders] round about him, and said unto him, How long do you make us to doubt? If you be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name [manifesting His identity], they bear witness of me.
26 But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep [and therefore you know not the Father’s voice], as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck [harpazo – catch them away with their false teaching] them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck [harpazo – catch away with their false doctrines] them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews [the religious leaders] took up stones [the false doctrine they speak in the LORD’s name] again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law [in Psalms 82:6], I said, You are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I Am the Son of God [brought to life in the flesh by His correction, His Spirit alive in me]?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is [alive] in me, and I [Am alive] in him.
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 And went away again beyond Jordan [to be seen again after the resurrection, passing over into life by overcoming those sitting in God’s place] into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
42 And many believed on him there.

The superstitious, the false preachers, the ignorant, have trouble understanding the above words, when the LORD tells us we are gods. They are all very quick to say, “we are not God.” We are, in fact, God, His offspring joined with Him by One mind and become His ONE immortal BODY.

Acts 17 (see below) says we are His offspring, as Paul tells those he finds worshipping a God they don’t know. Hebrews 12 says the sons of God are those who receive His correction, and those without it they are illegitimate (children of a strange father).

As we know, when the LORD above quotes Psalms 82:6, the Hebrew word rendered “gods” is ‘elohiym (One God plural). As we have also seen, in the several times Psalms 8 is quoted, when we’re told of Christ being made a little lower than the angels, the Hebrew words are chacer (“a little lower”) ‘elohiym (angels), meaning intentionally sent lacking the full understanding of God. Hebrews 2:9 tells us this is His suffering of death, so that in receiving what only the Father could give (full understanding that raises us to life), he is crowned by Father’s glory manifested in him.

Psalms 8
A Psalms of David
1 O LORD, our LORD, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still [shabath – stop the work of] the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars [governments of state and church], which you have ordained [to rule with truth and justice, to secure the rights your given man, as you rule];
4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him [paqad – make your presence known in me, as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to reset the right foundations of the earth]?
5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels [chacer ‘elohiym – as planned, lacking the full understanding which only God possesses], and have [by giving me, and all who through me receive it from Him, this understanding] crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea [all the beasts of the earth, including men, all without the LORD’s Spirit], and whatsoever passes through [‘abar – all that Passover into life in this resurrection from death] the paths [‘orach – as pilgrims traveling] of the seas [through the ages and generations].
9 O LORD [Jehovah] our LORD [‘adown – our King], how excellent is your name [identity – seeing Your presence] in all the earth!
To the chief Musician [natsach – Chief Overseer] upon Muth-labben [upon the death of Goliath, cutting off his head with this sword]

John 10:35 & 36 are the LORD telling us these truths, and in the verse before referring us to Psalms 82, a Psalm of Asaph, meaning it is speaking of gathering (the family of God to the Father). The Hebrew word, rendered “God” and “gods” several times in this Psalm, is Elohim (‘elohiym). It is from the words’ el, meaning strength and mighty, and hem, meaning they (like masses of people), which is from the word huw (hiy), meaning self (singular).

The name is referring us to the Father’s declaration in creating us, saying in Genesis 1:26 & 27, He created us, first in His (“Our”) image and then in His likeness. The name there used for the creator is Elohim (‘elohiym), defining the One from whom the many come, children in His image given the ability (endowed with a mind) to then, by calling and choice, become His likeness.

Psalms 82
1 God stands in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.

The above is speaking of those who will die like men, because they refuse His correction, the breath of His mouth and the work of His hand, and choose to remain as merely a shadow, following idols blocking the Father’s light.

This is what Paul speaks of in Acts 17 when talking to those who worship a God they don’t know, who don’t yet recognize their Father moving among them and in them.

Acts 17
… I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious [too religious – “holier than you”].
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God [the unknown Father]. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is LORD of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands [but rather, He dwells in man];
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he gives to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation [when this age of ignorance would {now} end];
27 That they should seek the LORD, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us [in us]:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent:
31 Because he has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again of this matter.

The following is the complete post of 24 July 2017:

Continuing: beginning with a deeper examination of Hebrews 4, and the concept of “today” being the time we enter into the rest God has prepared for us, wherein dwells those who have put on the righteousness of Christ.

Hebrews 4
6 Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limits a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remains therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

The idea, as discussed in the prior post, of our working toward this “rest” is found in the Greek word it is translated from; katapausis, literally meaning to pause and sit down (eight of the nine times it is used are here in Hebrews 4 – the other Acts 7:49). Eiserchomai is the one word translated as “enter into,” meaning to reach a point, which is the “limit” we are told of in verse 7, from the Greek word horizo (horizon). This “horizon” is what is meant when today is written as “to day,”

These words are telling of a time when we will sit down and pause, having heard the voice (of God) bringing us to day, having reached this horizon (sun rise), and now in the day we must work toward this rest.

The word horizo, the “limit” set by God, is used eight times; three as “determined,” twice as “ordained,” once as “determinate,” and once as “declared.” These are all used in telling of the time when God will reap the earth with His judgment (rightly dividing the word and wielding it as His two-edged sword cutting fiction away from truth).

Luke in Acts 17, records Paul speaking to those who ignorantly worship God, ignorance proven in their ways. Paul speaks of the time “determined” to end this ignorance, and goes on to define it as when God will judge the earth by the man He has “ordained” to do so.

Acts 17
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, You men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is LORD of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he gives to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined [[horizo]] the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the LORD, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by are and man’s device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent:
31 Because he has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained [[horizo]]; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again of this matter.

Luke 22:22 first used “horizo” in speaking of those who it was “determined” (by their then rebellion and rejection of the grace of God’s correction), to betray the Son of man. “22 And truly the Son of man goes, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!” He (Luke) further explains this as he next uses the word in Act 2:23 in telling of the “determinate” counsel and foreknowledge of God, which sent the deliverer in the time of need, and man rejecting His counsel took Him to be crucified (public mocking and ridicule, even into death’s silence).

Acts 2
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved.
22 You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate [[horizo]] counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be held of it.
25 For David speaks concerning him, I foresaw the LORD always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27 Because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life; you shall make me full of joy with your countenance [[prosopon – presence]].

Luke then uses it (horizo) in Acts 10:42 as Peter speaks, also telling of God raising Christ, and our being witnesses, at this point (limit – today) to proclaim the Son who God has ordained [[horizo]] to judge the quick (those who have come to life) and the dead (those who choose to remain in death).

Acts 10
40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 And he commanded [here and now] us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained [horizo] of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost [the LORD’s presence unknown] fell on all them which heard the word.

In the context of what I declared in the prior post, reluctantly speaking of myself, Paul uses horizo to tell of such a declaration, in Romans 1:4.

Romans 1 (Rome means strength – spiritually as in those formerly in confusion brought back to health: quickened)
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our LORD, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4 And declared [[horizo]] to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name [[manifesting His identity]]:
6 Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the LORD Jesus Christ.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end you may be established;
12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes [[it is His and Him present therein]]; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth [[captive]] in [[their]] unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart [[mind]] was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the un-corruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Psalms 95
1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence [[paniym]] with thanksgiving, and [[at this realization]] make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before [[paniym – in the presence of]] the LORD our maker.
7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if you will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation [[when you doubted I was among you – see Exodus 17:7]] in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 Unto whom I swore in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

The following, ending with Amen, is the complete post of 31 May 2018:

He which testifies these things says, “Surely I come quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, LORD Jesus.

Continuing: In the prior post, we again discussed Deuteronomy 30 and Romans 10, telling us where the LORD is found, meaning He is there and becomes apparent (appears) to our formerly blinded mind.

Romans 10
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what says it? The word is nigh you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture says [in Isaiah 28:16], Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek [believers and unbelievers]: for the same LORD over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written [in Isaiah 52:7], How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says [Isaiah 53:1], LORD, who has believed our report?
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes truly, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20 But Isaiah is very bold, and says [Isaiah 65:1], I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21 But to Israel he says [Isaiah 65:2], All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

In the context of these passages, the word translated “come” in Revelation 22:20 above (and many other places when discussing the LORD’s appearing) is erchomai. Very little is said in the Strong’s Greek Dictionary and Thayer’s Greek Lexicon about the origin of the word. Upon examination, it appears John is giving us the meaning in Revelation 22 in the seven times the word is used after telling of the pure waters that flow from the throne of God and the Lamb, as he did in recording the LORD precisely telling us in John 14.

We know in John 14:23 the LORD answers this question, which appears in the original text as Judas, not the Iscariot, asking Him the question, “What will occur that we will know you are about to reveal yourself?” We know the LORD answers describing what must occur is a person must love Him and keep his word, and He and the Father will make their abode (mone – staying) with them. This Greek word, mone, is only used two times, once here in verse 23, and in verse 2 where the LORD tells us where he is going: to prepare the “mansions” (mone), when and where He will come (erchomai – appear) again and receive us to Himself.

The context of John 14 is the Comforter coming to lead us into all truth. It is the staying place where the LORD will abide forever, which appears as His word living in us flows from us, His throne. The word rendered “keep” in verse 23 is tereo, meaning to guard (from loss or injury by keeping a constant eye upon). We know this is what John says in Revelation 22:18 & 19 where he warns against adding to or taking ways from the word of God. This staying, the keeping, is what we have many times discussed about the angels of God, His messengers who deliver His word, it flowing from them exactly as it has flowed from Him into them.

This takes us to the meaning of erchomai, apparently from the words ereo, meaning to utter, as in to speak or say; from the word rheo (or rheuo), meaning to flow (or run as water); and the word cheo, meaning to pour, (as in cheimon, meaning to storm in a rainy season). Cheo is from the word chasma (chasm), which we have studied and know is the word only used once when the LORD tells of the great “gulf” fixed between the living and the dead (Luke 16:26). If you remember our discussions, chasma is the origin of another one time used word, ketos, which is translated “whale’s,” as the LORD is telling of the heart (reasoning mind) of the earth as where He will be during the three days between his leaving and coming (appearing) again. We see this is the same chasma in death, which Jonah speaks of in Jonah 2 before he again, from the belly of hell, remembers and looks to the LORD’s abode (and out of death is raised into life). He realizes he has run from the truth and says, “They that observe lying vanities [worthless and untrue words] forsake their own mercy.”

These are all speaking of our ignorance and silence of truth (as death), and as Jonah, the sacrifice to the LORD are the voices of our understanding again heard. The place from where Jonah prays to the LORD, which is translated as the “fish’s” belly and from where the LORD heard him is the belly of hell (Sheol, the habitation of the dead); from the word da’g. We know from our studies, da’g is from the Hebrew word da’ag, meaning to be anxious, as in to fear men and therefore refuse God and withdraw into silence. The word (da’ag) is only used seven times, and only once in Isaiah, where in Isaiah 57:11 the LORD speaks of this specific point. It is telling of the underlying agitation that causes the storms, from which we pour out our prayers to God, He is faithful to pour in His word of understanding, to rescue and heal us. We must then love and keep Him and His truth, because He first loved us, while we were yet in our errors. The great gulf between the living and the dead is the same between those who choose righteousness or to remain in wickedness. The storms of the wicked never cease.

Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perishes [‘abad – wander away], and no man lays it to heart: and merciful men are taken away [‘acaph – gathered], none considering that the righteous is taken away [‘acaph] from the evil to come.
2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
3 But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
4 Against whom do you sport yourselves? against whom make you a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are you not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.
5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
6 Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion; they, they are your lot: even to them have you poured a drink offering, you have offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
7 Upon a lofty and high mountain have you set your bed: even there went you up to offer sacrifice.
8 Behind the doors also and the posts have you set up your remembrance: for you have discovered yourself to another than me, and are gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them; you loved their bed where you saw it.
9 And you went to the king with ointment, and did increase your perfumes, and did send your messengers far off, and did debase yourself even unto hell [Sheol].
10 You are wearied in the greatness of your way; yet said you not, There is no hope: you have found the life of your hand; therefore you were not grieved.
11 And of whom have you been afraid [da’ag] or feared, that you have lied, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and you fear me not?
12 I will declare your righteousness, and your works; for they shall not profit you.
13 When you cry, let your companies deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that puts his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
14 And shall say, Cast you up, cast you up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.
15 For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly [in twisted and perverted truth] in the way of his heart [his own reasoning].
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, says the LORD; and I will heal him.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.

Isaiah 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and you see not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors.
4 Behold, you fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: you shall not fast as you do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house? when you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you hide not yourself from your own flesh?
8 Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily: and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your reward [‘acaph – gathering place].
9 Then shall you call, and the LORD shall answer; you shall cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light rise in obscurity, and your darkness be as the noon day:
11 And the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath [the LORD’s interruptions – to stop our works], from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shall honor him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:
14 Then shall you delight yourself in the LORD; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.

John 14 [The LORD showing us the confession (the LORD alive in me) Paul speaks of in Romans 10 above.]
1 Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions [[mone]]: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.
5 Thomas said unto him, LORD, we know not where you go; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
7 If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip said unto him, LORD, show us the Father, and it suffices us [makes us complete – the perfecting – seeing the LORD God face to face as in a mirror].
9 Jesus said unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you then, Show us the Father?
10 Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
12 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also.
20 At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas said unto him, not Iscariot, LORD, how is it that you will manifest yourself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loves me not keeps not my sayings: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 You have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

Revelation 22
1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the LORD God gives them light: and they shall reign forever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the LORD God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things.
9 Then said he unto me [[as I say unto you]], See you do it not: for I am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
10 And he said unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, LORD Jesus.

This last verse is our testimony. The LORD has appeared in me.

Isaiah 8
13 Sanctify the LORD of Hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.
14 And He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among My disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for Him [in the mirror of His word].
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, which dwells in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? [Should they be looking] for the living to the dead?
20 [Or] To the law and to the testimony[?]: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry [because they refuse this meat], they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

Isaiah 9
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the light shined.
3 You have multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before you according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For you have broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian [when Gideon with the shout of “the sword of the LORD,” put those who were troubling God people to flight].
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire [from this same word of God].
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth [See John 14:31 above] even forever. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will perform this.
8 The LORD sent a word into Jacob, and it has lighted upon Israel.

Amen!

Psalms 120
1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given unto you? or what shall be done unto you, you false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn [stop in my journey] in Mesech [those the LORD has drawn into open sight], that I dwell in the tents of Kedar [darkness – ignorance and confusion]!
6 My soul has long dwelt with him that hates peace.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

17 – 19 April 2025

But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

The LORD begins in the above, Luke 8:23, enlightening us to the deep meaning hidden in the cultivated (emphasis on “cult”) ignorance (darkness) brought upon God’s people by the degenerate institutions they’ve blindly followed into hell.

The words above rendered “and there came down a storm,” are katabaino lailaps; the first said to mean “to descend,” from the word kata, meaning “down,” and baino, meaning “(to walk); a pace,” and the second, only used three times, is “of uncertain derivation.”

The second word (lailaps) is a combination of the Hebrew word laylah, meaning “from the same as 3883; properly, a twist (away of the light), i.e. night; figuratively, adversity:–((mid-))night (season),” and the Greek word pos, meaning “an interrogative particle of manner; in what way? (sometimes the question is indirect, how?); also as exclamation, how much!:–how, after (by) what manner (means), that;” as in psao, meaning “to rub or touch the surface, comparable [to] 5597 [psocho],” meaning “to rub out, (kernels [bit by bit] from the husks with the fingers or hand).”

The Hebrew word (3883) laylah is said to be the same as luwl, meaning “to fold back: a spiral step:– winding stair.”

These words clearly describe the descent into ignorance, foretelling the incremental degeneration, step by step, spiraling downward (into hell), blurring the surface, clouding the depth of the written word. They tell us this comes by the fingers or hands of men, in the “ship,” here the church as an institution, from ploion, ultimately from pluno, “a prolonged form of an obsolete [word] pluo, (to “flow”); to “plunge,” i.e. launder clothing).”

The word pluno only appears once, in Revelation 7:14, as John describes it as the obvious work in which the church should engage the masses (pleion, polus), and hasn’t, until this time, this moment here and now.

Revelation 7
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great [polus] 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 robes [washed in this blood of the Lamb, the necessary sacrifice that comes with speaking God’s word and declaring it’s His presence, with us, in us], 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 [the leaders of God people, who receive Him and His correction] and the four beasts [the four faces {a man, a roaring lion, an ox working in the earth, and an eagle with full understanding flying in heaven} of God’s unfolding presence realized], and fell before the throne on their faces [in His presence], 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 robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed [pluno] their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne [in the presence] 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 deep understanding], neither thirst any more [for this word of God from His throne in heaven]; neither shall the sun light [piotes – fall] on them [taking them into ignorance], nor any heat [kauma – only appearing elsewhere in Revelation 16:9, there saying it is the scourging upon the unrepentant, who are now blaspheming this work of God, who are holding in the tribulation those who remain in their fall away from God].
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto [this] living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes [These last words are quoted from Isaiah 25:8].

Isaiah 25
1 O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things; your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 For you have made of a [corrupt] city a heap; of a defensed city a ruin: a palace of strangers [in power] to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Therefore shall the strong people [strengthened with Your understanding] glorify you, the city of the terrible [‘ariyts] nations [who haven’t known the present LORD] shall fear you.
4 For you have been a strength to the poor [those without worldly power], a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast [ruwach – the evil spirit] of the terrible ones [‘ariyts] is as a storm against the wall [the houses in Matthew 7:24 thru 27].
5 You shall bring down [kana’ – vanquish, cause to bend their knee] the noise of strangers [who I never knew, as in Matthew 7:22 & 23], as the heat in a dry place [as fire from My mouth against these places that are without My word]; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud [the same fire against the vail covering this understanding]: the branch [zamiyr – only appearing here, meaning pruned, as in their words are cut off] of the terrible ones [‘ariyts] shall be brought low [‘anah – meaning when My people see and obey My commands, meaning “to eye or (generally) to heed, i.e. pay attention; by implication, to respond; by extens. to begin to speak; specifically to sing, shout, testify, announce.”].
6 And in this mountain [the LORD’s perfected government] shall the LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war] make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined [which are here and now freely given in word form].
7 And he will destroy in this mountain [His perfected government] the face [revealing His presence] of the covering [lowt] cast over [luwt] all people, and the vail [covering His presence and his sword, this word from My mouth] that is spread over all nations [all those who haven’t known My presence].
8 He will swallow up death in victory [netsach]; 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.
10 For in this mountain [His here perfected government – which is nothing like all the wise men, all the false prophets and false teachers, all the loudest and most heard voices, said and told, tell, people to look for and forever wait, which will never come, because they are fabrication of deluded minds] shall the hand [this work] of the LORD rest, and Moab [the mouths of men which are the gates of hell] shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swims spreads forth his hands to swim [rightly dividing these waters on this day of My new creation, in the firmament, this exposition, which I call the new heaven]: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12 And the fortress of the high fort of your walls [their house they built on sand] shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

The following, ending in Jeremiah 50, is from several previous posts showing the words lowt and luwt speak of the LORD concealing His presence, which He now reveals in a manner only He knows.

As we know from previous discussions, the “cover” (from the once used word lowt) “cast over” (from the three times used word luwt) all people, which the LORD removes, refer us to the other two times luwt appears.

In the first, 1 Samuel 21:9, it’s the “wrapping” David removes from the sword he took from Goliath, with which he cut off his head. The sword is then, in the following verses, revealed to be strategic concealment, which causes David’s enemies to disregard him.

1 Samuel 21
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you slew in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped [luwt] in a cloth behind the ephod: if you will take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
10 And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish [“I will blacken” hide myself in there ignorance, so they think I AM “only a man”] the king of Gath [“winepress,” as I come as judgment].
13 And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled [[tavah – wrote this writing against their words]] on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle [[these water from his mouth]] fall down upon his beard.
14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, you see the man is mad [[shaga’ – delusionally insane]]: wherefore then have you brought him to me?
15 Have I need of mad [[shaga’ – delusional]] men, that you have brought this fellow to play the mad [[shaga’]] man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?

The other use (of luwt) comes in 1 Kings 19:13, when Elijah (Jehovah is God) “wrapped” his face (paniym – presence) in his mantle (covering God’s glory in him), which (mantle) he later cast upon Elisha (God is Salvation).

Jeremiah 50
24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have strived against the LORD.
25 The LORD has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation [za’am]: for this is the work of the LORD God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans [against those who’ve used their words to manipulate humanity into hell].
26 Come against her from the utmost border [qets – this full end], open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
27 Slay all her bullocks [those doing this work of misleading into hell]; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation [pquddah – now, when I Am here as the Chief Overseer of the earth].
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to [open their mouth and] declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
29 Call together the archers against Babylon: all you that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do unto her: for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD.
31 Behold, I am against you, O you most proud, says the LORD God of hosts: for your day is come, the time that I will visit you.
32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
33 Thus says the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts [a man of war] is his name [My identity]: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet [raqaz – pour His anger upon] the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 A sword [of David] is upon the Chaldeans, says the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad [become insane] upon their idols.
39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
41 Behold, a people shall come from the north [shall come out of ignorance], and a great [new] nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts [the end of the old and corrupt, where their proud waves are stayed, beginning the new] of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, everyone put in array, like a man to the battle, [as My awakened army] against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 The king of Babylon has heard the report [shama’ shema’ – understood and obeyed – acted knowing the time is of his end] of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish [tsarah – tribulation he caused] took hold [epithesis] of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail [fearing what they have brought forth].
44 Behold, he [the LORD, I Am] shall come up like a lion from [roaring against] the swelling [proud waves] of Jordan [words that carried all in the descent into death] unto the habitation of the strong [in power]: but I will make them [the wicked] suddenly run away from her [My people they have oppressed]: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint [paqad – who I will make Chief Overseer] over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? [All these are references to Michael, who is like God and stands for God’s people in this time of Jacob’s trouble {tsarah}, and Shiloh, who comes as the shepherd and stone of God’s people – the king of peace, and king of righteousness, in the order of Melchizedek]
45 Therefore hear you the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock [{as in Ahasuerus} “I will be silent and poor {without earthly power}”] shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46 At the noise [qowl – the LORD’s voice] of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.

The word in the title rendered “sleep” is the once-used word aphupnoo, which is dubiously said to mean sleep, when the word says the opposite (in the original text written as aphupnose, from apo hupnos, meaning away from sleep), saying that as the others (sailing in the ship) were moved by the wind (of false doctrines) He remained (with them unknown) awake.

Psalms 121
1 I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help.
2 My help comes from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper: the Lord is your shade upon your right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Luke 8:23 says the descent into darkness is of “wind,” from the Greek word anemos, which refers us to its uses in Ephesians 4:14, James 3:4, Jude 1:12, and Revelation 6:13.

The “lake” (on which this wind moved): hell and the people therein held in constant agitation (tribulation) is the ten times used word limne; which appears five times in Revelation 19, 20, and 21, where it is the “lake” that burns with fire and brimstone. It’s also (in Luke 5:1 & 2) the “lake” where the LORD taught from Peter’s ship, and (in Luke 8:33) it’s the “lake” into which the swine, into who the LORD cast the legion of devils (misleaders), ran and choked.

The verse (Luke 8:23) then says, “and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.” The words “with water” don’t appear in the original text, and the word rendered “they were filled” is sumpleroo, a three times used word meaning “to implenish completely, i.e. (of space) to swamp (a boat), or (of time) to accomplish (passive, be complete).” Its other appearances are, in Luke 9:51, telling of when the time “was come” for the LORD to be received up, and in Acts 2:1, of when the time of Pentecost “was fully come.”

Luke 8
22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship [ploion] with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over [death] unto the other side of [into life beyond] the lake [hell]. And they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep [as the church was moved by the winds of false doctrines, he remain awake while unknown among them]: and there came down a storm [and they spiraled into darkness] of wind [false doctrines] on the lake [into the tribulation in hell]; and they were filled with water [when they were completely filled with false doctrines, men’s misleading words], and were in jeopardy [kinduneuo – from kineo and duno, speaking of the sun {church} setting: meaning all understanding was removed from it].
24 And they came to him [the previous word are dubiously said to from proserchomai; written in the original text as proselthontes, meaning the realizing they were proselytized {proselutos} into death {thano}], and awoke him [this should say, they awaked], saying, Master [epistates], master [epistates – meaning “an appointee over, i.e. commander (teacher)”], we perish [apollumi]. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind [anemos – their teachers teaching false doctrines] and the raging of the water [the endless arguments: endless opinions of the ignorant]: and they ceased, and there was a calm [galen – a three times used word meaning “tranquility,” as in when Shiloh comes: see Genesis 49:10].
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith [why can’t you see and believe that God is with us, in us]? And they being afraid wondered [at these things hidden in these depths], saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commands even the winds [anemos] and water, and they obey him.

Matthew 23
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees [religious experts, blind guides, teaching corrupted doctrines and their added vain traditions], hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you [refusing this light and life] neither go in yourselves, neither suffer [aphiemi – by your omissions, and the thing you leave undone, as in verse 23, saying “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted {aphiemi} the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought you to have done, and not to leave {aphiemi} the other undone {aphiemi}.”] you them that are entering to go in.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you devour widows’ houses [the churches without a man of God to guide and protect them], and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore you shall receive the greater damnation [krime – the consequences of your own choices].
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees [children of hell, teaching the way into death], hypocrites! for you compass sea [in ships] and land [xeros – the dry places; without this word of God] to make one proselyte [proselutos], and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

The word above rendered “entering” in verse 23, speaking of what the religious hypocrites are blocking, is emprosthen, meaning “in front of (in place (literally or figuratively) or time):–against, at, before, (in presence, sight) of.” We know from when it (emprosthen) is used quoting Malachi 3:1 it’s the equivalent of the Hebrew word paniym, identifying the LORD present (One God, unknown as the Holy Ghost) speaking and working in whomsoever He chooses.

This is perfectly described by Paul (the LORD alive in Him), in 1 Thessalonians 2, as He speaks to those who’ve received his words as the words of God and not of man, speaking of those who are hindering them from procreating by the same word and work, saying they are thereby in the presence (emprosthen) of the LORD Jesus Christ at His coming.

1 Thessalonians 2
10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe [the LORD is present with us, in us speaking and working]:
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children,
12 That you would walk worthy of God, who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe [it is His and Him].
14 For you, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the LORD Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding [koluo] us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence [emprosthen] of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For you are our glory and joy.

Malachi 3
1 Behold, I will send my messenger [mal’ak – My angel, who is a man of war as well as a man of God], and he shall prepare the way before me [paniym – in Him My presence is manifested]: and the LORD [‘adown – the king], whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger [mal’ak] of the covenant [of My promises], whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war].
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers [using words as spells to control minds they’ve deluded], and against the adulterers [who’ve left God to follow men who’ve put themselves in His place], and against false swearers [using lies as policy by which they rule], and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages [stealing through taxation, redistribution with which they buy the souls of dead men], the widow, and the fatherless, [both having no man to protect and defend them against the evil powers] and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war].
6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed [by My fire].
7 Even from the days of your fathers you are gone away from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war]. But you said, Wherein shall we return?
8 Will a man rob God? Yet you [den of thieves] have robbed me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings [of your churches and taxes of your civil governments, by which you rob My people].
9 You are cursed with a curse: for you have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10 Bring you all the tithes [My people, the tenth that return] into the storehouse [this place where my treasures are found], that there may be meat [the flesh I quicken, who receive this word as light and life] in my house, and prove me now herewith, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war], if I will not open you the windows of heaven [and from there pour out these treasures], and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war].
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a delightsome land, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war].
13 Your words have been stout against me, says the LORD. Yet you say, What have we spoken so much against you?
14 You have said, It is vain to serve [the living] God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war]?
15 And now we call the proud [who call this word a burden without any value] happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often [this word from His mouth] one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name [His manifested identity].
17 And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war], in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.
18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked [good and evil leading, choosing the good and refuse evil], between him that serves God and him that serves him not.

Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel [the Lion of God – the strength {understanding} of God, here taken and controlled by the wicked], to Ariel, the city where David [the lion of Judah] dwelt! add you year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel [it will again be My strength].
3 And I [as a man of war] will camp against you round about, and will lay siege against you with a mount, and I will raise forts against you.
4 And you shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust [as the voice of the serpent from the ruin of the earth], and your voice shall be, as of one that has a familiar spirit [of the known dead speaking words of death], out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Moreover the multitude of your strangers [teaching strange fire] shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6 You shall be visited [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] of the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war] with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight [tsaba’] against Ariel, even all that fight [tsaba’] against her and her munition [matsowd – her munitions are the root, a foundation, of righteousness], and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams [chalam], and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams [chalam], and, behold, he drinks; but he awakens, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight [tsaba’] against mount Zion [when they awaken and realize their own mind’s delusions deceived them and they have been emptied of all understanding].
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder [not knowing what you are experiencing]; cry you out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep [with no signs of life], and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers [ra’ah – those who see as God sees] has he covered [kacah].
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book [cepher] that is sealed [chatham], which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed [chatham]:
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart [the foundations of their mind – their stiocheion, the elements of their understanding, are corrupt and disordered] far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [eye opening] work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder [pele’ – at which all have wondered]: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their [wicked] counsel [‘etsah] from the LORD, and their works are in the dark [their own ignorance of reality and truth they can’t understand because it is as a foreign language], and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down [the overthrow] shall be esteemed as the potter’s [yatsar] clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed [yatser] say of him that framed [yatsar] it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon [purity seen in high places] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words [this word] of the book [cepher], and the eyes of the blind shall see [again] out of obscurity, and out of darkness [by coming out of ignorance].
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed [padah] Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale [but they will reach the end promised].
23 But when he sees his children [who have been born again out of death and hell], the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name [declare My identity Holy], and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured [against me] shall learn doctrine.

The angel spoken of in Malachi 3:1, in the whom the LORD chooses to reveal Himself, is the same speaking and spoken of three times in the book of Revelation, in 4:6, 19:10, & 22:8. In the first he is the “man” described, and it the latter two he warns that his flesh is not to be, by any means, worshiped.

Revelation 4
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice [as a lion roaring] which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither [into full understanding with the LORD], and I will show you things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit [joined with the LORD]: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow [the rightly divided light in the cloud] round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings [understanding from the cloud where it is reserved for this moment] and thunderings [the LORD’s voice heard from the cloud] and voices [of men repeating the words heard]: and there were seven lamps of fire burning [leading the way in the darkness] before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God [His completed work known].
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal [calmed and clear]: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before [emprosthen] and behind [seeing the presence of the LORD after He has passed: completed His work].
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. [These are the same faces Ezekiel saw in the wheel within the wheel: the written word sent forward to give understanding to those who eventually, in the long-suffering conversation at His mercy seat, realized it’s the LORD presence therein coming to save them. Ezekiel saw the man first, here its after hearing him roaring God’s understanding, then to be doing God’s work in the earth, and then, in the completion, seeing the LORD present, by the strength of His understanding received, risen into heaven as an eagle flying with Him.]
8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
9 And when those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him [the Father] that sat on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.

Revelation 19
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven [repeating these words as received], saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the LORD our God [present with us, in us]:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he has judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up forever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts [the faces of the wheel within the wheel, completing the unfolding presence of the LORD God with us, in us] fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all you his servants, and you that fear him, both small and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings [the sound of light from the cloud], saying, Alleluia: for the LORD God omnipotent reigns [and confusion no longer does].
7 Let us be glad and rejoice [realizing His presence], and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he says unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he says unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at [emprosthen] his feet [of the flesh in which the LORD is with us, in us] to worship him. And he said unto me [as I Am saying to you], See you do it not: I am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren that have the testimony of Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in His word through our flesh]: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name [Timothy – identity, the flesh in which He reveals Himself] written, [the Holy Ghost, the Paraclete] that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen [washed by this word of the corruption], white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron [sharpening iron]: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And LORD Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun [in the church]; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast [Babylon], and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark [in their minds and their works] of the beast [of confusion], and them that worshipped his image [the deceptions created by the insane in power]. These both were cast alive into a lake [limne] of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Those cast alive into the hell of their own making, created from their unrepentant evil minds, are still at work, but their time is short.

Revelation 6
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun [the church institution] became black as sackcloth of hair [distressed by the things grown from their heads], and the moon became as blood [civil government draining the life from all they oppress];
13 And the stars of heaven fell [from the place of understanding] unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs [unripe, ever learning and never able to come to the truth, because the whole is leavened: corrupted], when she is shaken of a mighty wind [amemos – of the false doctrines, which are shaken to be removed].
14 And the [corrupt] heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain [all seats of power] and island [dry places without this word of God] were [re]moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the [shaken] mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face [the LORD’s presence] of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand [when this voice is shaking heaven and erath]?

Ephesians 4
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind [anemos] of [false] doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the LORD, that you henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But you have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

Jude describes those whose understanding is darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.

Jude 1
10 But these speak evil [their corrupt conversation, uncontrollably spewing their own ignorance of God and, not knowing the time, of these last days] of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts [without the LORD’s Spirit], in those things they corrupt themselves. [see Romans 13, verse 11 saying “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed {the present reality of what we hoped for}.”],
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity [their evil conversation staining the message the LORD has given, refusing to give it as received], when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear [ignorant of their own destruction]: clouds they are without water [in who this understanding now is, but they refuse to give it as commanded], carried about of winds [anemos – of their own false doctrines]; [corrupt] trees whose [corrupt] fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead [of old and now again choosing death], plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea [evil men, blinded by their pride, risen over humanity], foaming out [words from their mouth] their own shame; wandering stars [planets, deceivers, moving erratically in the heavens, places where understanding should be, who can’t be relied on to navigate in the darkness, as can the true stars], to whom [these deceivers] is reserved the blackness of darkness [to wander in their own ignorance] forever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints [hagios – the true stars of heaven, who remain alive with the LORD],
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 spoken [their blasphemy] against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouths speak great swelling words [of pride], having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage [excusing evil, even calling it good, if it is to their advantage to do so].
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 [the time we know is upon us, the last days of darkness covering the earth], who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves [from God and His ONE BODY], sensual, having not the [ONE] Spirit.
20 But you, beloved, building up yourselves [upon this teaching from the LORD himself] on your most holy [hagios] faith [in Christ, the LORD with us, in us, and we in Him], praying in the Holy [hagios] Ghost [conversing with the LORD present, but unseen by the corrupt world],
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy [in this conversation at the mercy seat] of our LORD Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference [changing their mind, by giving the word from the LORD, declaring it is His presence manifested, come to effectually work to save the world from itself, freeing it from those intentionally corrupting all truth]:
23 And others save with fear [telling them destruction is the end to come for those remaining in the fires these men’s corrupt conversations cause], pulling [harpazo – the word rendered “caught up” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, which the false prophets, with their evil speaking twist into the false doctrine of an off the planet “rapture,” which is, in reality, His, in us, “pulling”] them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted [stained by the corrupt conversation] by the flesh [those having not the LORD’s Spirit, and therefore remaining ignorant of Him, His truth, and the time at hand, when we gather into His ONE BODY with Him].

James 3
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Behold also the ships [ploion], which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds [anemos – of false doctrines], yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor wills.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles [corrupts, leavens] the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

Revelation 22
1 And he showed me a pure river of [of this] water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it [the way it came], and on either side [this word sent and received] of the river, was there the tree of life [sent to give life], which bare twelve manner of fruits [the perfection of God’s government on the earth as it is in heaven], and yielded her fruit every month [the time of the new moon: new civil government as God intended it, to secure our God-given rights]: and the leaves of the tree [of life] were for the healing [to return understanding] of the nations [who haven’t known the LORD God].
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face [His presence]; and his name [identity] shall be in their foreheads [in the forefront of their minds].
5 And there shall be no night [ignorance of God] there; and they need no candle [no man to guide them], neither light of the sun [neither understanding from the church insitutions]; for the LORD God gives them light [understanding]: and they [joined with Him in His ONE BODY] shall reign forever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the LORD God of the holy prophets sent his angel [His messenger – I Am] to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keep [tereo] the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John [the dove, the sign of the end reached] saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard [as the voice of the LORD] and seen [it is the LORD’s presence manifested in His word made flesh], I fell down to worship before [emprosthen] the feet [the flesh in which the LORD manifests His presence] of the angel [His messenger – I Am] which showed me these things.
9 Then says he unto me [as I Am saying to you], See you do it not: for I Am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of them which keep [tereo] the sayings of this book: worship God.
10 And he says unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand [to speak these words of God as received, declaring He is alive in you speaking and working].
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end [of ages], the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city [New Heavenly Jerusalem].
15 For [separated] without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I Am the root [of the tree of life] and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star [this understanding, as the sun rises, shined upon all from east to west].
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears [His voice] say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book [as the word of God from His mouth, by which man lives], If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book [this writing] of this prophecy [meant to be given as received], God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, LORD Jesus.
21 The grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Psalms 11
1 In the Lord put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do [but diligently seek the LORD]?
4 The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The Lord tries the righteous: but the wicked and him that love violence his soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous Lord loves righteousness; his countenance [paniym – presence] does behold the upright.

Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and drop your word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel

15 April 2025

Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and drop your word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,

Friends, the word above (Ezekiel 21:2), rendered “land” is ‘adamah, a word we understand speaks of the people (the first generation) of the LORD’s new creation, which He names (identifies as) Israel.

The name Israel is from the words sarah and ‘el, meaning to prevail and God. Its given meaning in the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary is, “he will rule as God,” while the Driver-Brown-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon says it means, “God prevails.”

The name is God’s to give as He wills, when and where He wills. Here and now, He calls this nation (the USA) by that name; after (‘achar) we (the people He chooses) were called Jacob (supplanter).

The name (Israel, Yisra’el) first appears in Genesis 32:28, where the word sarah appears in the first of its three uses (which is why it is dubiously presumed to be from it).

Israel is derived from the once-used word yishah, meaning “rectitude,” from the word yashar, meaning “to be straight or even; figuratively, to be (causatively, to make) right, pleasant, prosperous.”

As we know, the name is given to Jacob, after (‘achar) he crosses the brook (the end, as in 2 Chronicles 20:16, see the previous post) named Jabbok, said to probably be from baqaq, meaning “emptying.” Its more certain affinity is to the word yabesh, meaning “to be ashamed, confused or disappointed; also (as failing) to dry up (as water) or wither (as herbage).”

In this latter word (yabesh) we understand it (this crossing from death into life) occurs in the similitude of Jacob wresting with the angel (man, messenger) of God and the sinew of the thigh withers as he was emptied of all that kept him from seeing the LORD’s presence, face to face.

Genesis 32
22 And he rose up that night [this time when ignorance is covering the earth], and took his two wives, and his two women servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over [‘abar – from death into life] the ford [ma’abar – what passover, this rising from death] Jabbok [out of the state of confusion and disappointment that exists until the waters, words of men, are died up].
23 And he took them, and sent them over [‘abar] the brook [nqachal], and sent over [‘abar] that he had. [2 Chronicles 20:15 And he said, Hearken you, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat, Thus says the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed {chathath – confused} by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16 Tomorrow go you down {descend into hell} against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz {‘alah ma’aleh tsiyts – their rising to power is as the rising of a flower}; and you shall find {matsa’ – attain} them at the end {cowph – this conclusion} of the brook {nachal – these waters: the word of the LORD heard}, before {paniym – manifesting His presence in} the wilderness of Jeruel {taught by God, as in Jerusalem, this word which flow from Him, teaching His ways of peace}.]
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him [with this word manifesting the LORD’s presence] until the breaking of the day [until this light, understanding, replaces the darkness].
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint [yaqa’ – he was separated for the LORD’s work and way], as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go [send me], for the day breaks [for I understand]. And he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me [with these gifts].
27 And he said unto him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob [supplanter].
28 And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel [rectified by God: become His righteousness]: for as a prince have you power [sarah] with God and with men, and have prevailed [against wickedness].
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray you, your name. And he said, Wherefore is it that you do ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel [from the same root as paniym – the presence of God manifested in the flesh speaking His word]: for I have seen God face [paniym] to face [paniym – manifested in the flesh to me and now in my flesh], and my life is preserved [natsal – the same as the Greek harpazo, meaning he is pulled from the fires of hell, caught up into heaven joined with the LORD].
31 And as he passed over [‘abar – from death into everlasting life] Penuel [by realizing the presence of the LORD] the sun rose upon him [understanding He is the ONE BODY od Christ], and he halted upon his thigh [ending the corruption that blinded him to the present LORD].
32 Therefore, the children of Israel [God’s people who receive this promised end] eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.

As Peter tells us in 2 Peter 3:16, those who perish do so by endlessly wrestling with this word of God “unto their own destruction.”

2 Peter 3
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 years, and a thousand 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 [unknown in this time of men’s ignorance of God]; in the which the heavens [the corrupt understanding of men] shall pass away with a great noise [this voice of the LORD], 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 [the LORD’s] 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 people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “divers” 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 divers 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?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

The word in the title verse rendered “drop” is nataph, meaning “to ooze, i.e. distil gradually; by implication, to fall in drops; figuratively, to speak by inspiration:–drop(-ping), prophesy(-et).”

All the following is from the post of 17 January 2021 (with today’s additions in double brackets):

O God, when you went forth before your people, when you did march through the wilderness; Selah: The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God.

From Psalms 68:7 & 8, the above comes as the first eight verses of the Psalm speak of the LORD’s presence. In them, the Hebrew word paniym, meaning the face, appears eight times, five rendered “before” and three times “presence.” The idea is what we recently saw the LORD saying, of His presence, in Exodus 33, where paniym is used ten times, five times rendered “face,” three as “before,” and twice as “presence.” We saw, in the post of 14 January 2021, Exodus 33:16, as quoted by Paul, in Romans 9:13, both speaking of the LORD’s showing mercy to those He will.

The relative meanings of these different renderings are the “face” as known identity, “before” as unknown, and “presence” as the manifestations (means) bringing the change between the two. These are speaking of what the LORD says in the final verses of Exodus 33, that only after He has passed by, will we see Him.

Exodus 33
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, you and the people which you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto your seed will I give it:
2 And I will send an angel before [paniym] you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey [[teaching by which we learn to choose good and refuse evil]]: for I will not go up in the midst of you; for you are a stiff-necked people: lest I consume you in the way.
4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments [‘adiy – the misconceptions that hid His presence].
5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people: I will come up into the midst of you in a moment, and consume you: therefore now put off your ornaments [‘adiy – the misconceptions that hid His presence] from you, that I may know what to do unto you.
6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments [‘adiy – the misconceptions that hid His presence] by the mount Horeb [where they unlearned the ways of Egypt – the ideas {lies and deceptions} of their oppressors, which allow their oppression].
7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off [[rachaq – this time when the world is ruled by the evil decreed of the wicked in power]] from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation [[mow’ed – in this appointed time]]. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation [[mow’ed]], which was without the camp.
8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.
10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
11 And the LORD spoke unto Moses face [paniym] to face [paniym], as a man speaks unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua [[Jesus – the man speaking to him]], the son of Nun [[the son in perpituity]], a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
12 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, you say unto me, Bring up this people: and you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, I know you by name, and you have also found grace in my sight.
13 Now therefore, I pray you, if I have found grace in your sight, show me now your way, that I may know you, that I may find grace in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people.
14 And he said, My presence [paniym] shall go with you, and I will give you rest.
15 And he said unto him, If your presence [paniym] go not with me, carry us not up hence.
16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and your people have found grace in your sight? is it not in that you go with us? so shall we be separated, I and your people, from all the people that are upon the face [paniym] of the earth.
17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that you have spoken: for you have found grace in my sight, and I know you by name.
18 And he said, I beseech you, show me your glory.
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass [[‘abar – to bring you from death into life ]] before [paniym] you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before [paniym] you; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious [[giving these treasure I’ve reserved for this moment]], and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
20 And he said, You can not see my face [paniym]: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand upon a rock [[who is Christ, My opresence manifested in the flesh of a man]]:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passes by [[‘abar – brings you froem death into life again]], that I will put you in a clift [[nqarah – only appearing one otyher time, in Isaiah 2:21, saying “To go into the clefts {nqarah} of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.’]] of the rock, and will cover you with my hand while I pass by [[when I bring you from death into life]]:
23 And I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back parts [[‘achowr – after you come to life]]: but my face [paniym] shall not be seen [[because I Am hidden in the flesh I choose]].

Romans 9
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau [the enemies mixed among us, resisting and accusing the LORD] 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, 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 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 it, Why have you made me thus?
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, 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 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 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 said before, Except the LORD of Sabaoth [hosts] 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, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling-stone and rock of offence: and whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.

Psalms 68
1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before [paniym] him.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melts before [paniym] the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence [paniym] of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before [paniym] God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rides upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before [paniym] him.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 God sets the solitary in families: he brings out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land [there is no word of God with them, because they reject Him, instead choosing their own ideas and ways].
7 O God, when you went forth before [paniym] your people, when you did march through the wilderness; Selah:
8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence [paniym] of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence [paniym] of God, the God of Israel.
9 You, O God, did send a plentiful rain [this word from heaven], whereby you did confirm [kuwn – His providence] your inheritance, when it was weary [when we were without strength, He is strong and wearies not].
10 Your congregation has dwelt therein: you, O God, have prepared [kuwn – to establish us] of your goodness for the poor.
11 The LORD gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 Though you have lien among the pots, yet shall you be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon [when He sent His pure word that was frozen in heaven, reserved for this moment, to the earth now masked in the shadow of death].
15 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan [the fruitful place He has raised up for us]; a high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16 Why leap you, you high hills? this is the hill which God desires to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it forever.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the LORD is among them, as in Sinai [as among thorns of neglect], in the holy place.
18 You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
19 Blessed be the LORD, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation [God is our yshuw’ah]. Selah.
20 He that is our God is the God of salvation [mowsha’ah, only used here, meaning the act of saving, the manifestation of deliverance, personified]; and unto God the LORD belong the issues from death.
21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goes on still in his trespasses.
22 The LORD said, I will bring again from Bashan [from this fruitfulness], I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea [from the belly of hell, where they have been led by devils]:
23 That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same.
24 They have seen your goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Bless you God in the congregations, even the LORD, from the fountain of Israel.
27 There is little Benjamin [the power of God’s right hand] with their ruler, the princes of Judah [the undefiled elect remnant] and their council, the princes of Zebulun [Genesis 49: 13 Zebulun {the lowly raised up at the LORD’s coming} shall dwell at the haven of the sea {safe from the masses}; and he shall be for an haven of ships {and saving any who come to the LORD through them}; and his border shall be unto Zidon {they will be the end of those who’ve hunted souls}.], and the princes of Naphtali [Genesis 49: 21 Naphtali {by this wrestling – unknowingly with the LORD} is a hind let loose: he gives goodly words {our tongue (the word of God) is loosed and we teach it as received directly from Him}.].
28 Your God has commanded your strength: strengthen, O God, that which you have wrought for us.
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto you.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter you the people that delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt [out of oppression]; Ethiopia [those who dwell in darkness – the ignorant] shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Sing unto God, you kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the LORD; Selah:
33 To him that rides upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe you strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds [where understanding was held when it left the earth].
35 O God, you are terrible out of your holy places: the God of Israel is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

Paul, in Ephesians 4:8, quotes Psalms 68:18 above, as he is speaking of our vocation, which he earlier, in Ephesians 3:2, calls “the dispensation of grace.”

Ephesians 1
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the LORD Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 That the God of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
22 And has put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all.

Ephesians 2
1 And you has he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;)
6 And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together grows unto a holy temple in the LORD:
22 In whom you also are built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our LORD:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore I desire that you faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the LORD, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One LORD, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore he says, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the LORD, that you henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But you have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

Ephesians 6
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

The word in the title used in telling of the heavens “dropping” at the LORD’s presence (paniym), is the Hebrew word nataph, meaning, “to ooze, i.e. distil gradually; by implication, to fall in drops; figuratively, to speak by inspiration.” The verse is Psalms 68:8, which is then spoken of in verse 9, which says it’s the latter rain [[the after crop, that has now been harvested]], saying, “You, O God, did send a plentiful rain [this word from heaven], whereby you did confirm [kuwn – His providence] your inheritance, when it was weary [when we were without strength, He is strong and wearies not].”

Ezekiel 20
46 Son of man, set your face toward the south, and drop [nataph] your word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
47 And say to the forest of the south [[the falsely so-called upright, going about to prove their own righteousness while refusing the LORD’s, who choose to remain in their own darkness, while looking for His coming from the east as the morning sun]], Hear the word of the LORD; Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north [[the righteous andf the wicke, those look for Him and those not looking]] shall be burned therein.
48 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
49 Then said I, Ah LORD God! they say of me, Does he not speak parables?

Ezekiel 21
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and drop [nataph] your word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
3 And say to the land 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 from you the righteous and the wicked.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off 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.

Joel 3
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened [church and state shall be without understanding], and the stars shall withdraw their shining [neither shall any of God’s people at large understand].
16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth [[‘erets]] shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17 So shall you know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down [nataph] new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah [the elect remnant] shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 Egypt [our oppressors] shall be a desolation, and Edom [the enemies among us] shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land [[‘erets – the earth]].
20 But Judah shall dwell forever, and [[New Heavenly]] Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwells in Zion.

Micah 2
6 Prophesy [nataph] you not, say they to them that prophesy [nataph]: they shall not prophesy [nataph] to them, that they shall not take shame.
7 O you that are named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walks uprightly?
8 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: you pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9 The women of my people have you cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have you taken away my glory forever.
10 Arise you, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy [nataph] unto you of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet [nataph] of this people.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the [elect] remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah [as my ONE flock], as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
13 The breaker [[parats – the One who breaks them free from the ignorant multiude]] is come up [[‘alah – is risen]] before [[paniym – the LORD’s presence is manifested with him, in him to]] them: they have broken up [[parats – they have broke free from gdeath]], and have passed through [[‘abar – from death into life]] the gate [[of hell into heaven]], and are gone out [[of hell]] by it: and their king shall pass [[‘abar – from death into life]] before [paniym [[by the LORD’s presence manifested with him, in him to]]] them, and the [[risen]] LORD on the head [[alive in the minds]] of them.

Micah 6
1 Hear you now what the LORD says; Arise, contend [[riyb – wrestle]] you before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice [[speaking the LORD’s words]].
2 Hear you, O mountains [[corrupt governments of church and state]], the LORD’s controversy [[riyb]], and you strong [[corrupt]] foundations of the earth: for the LORD has a controversy [[riyb – will wrestle]] with his people, and he will [[as He does here and now]] plead with Israel.
3 O my people, what have I done unto you? and wherein have I wearied you? testify against me.
4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of servants; and I sent before [paniym [[as My presence manifested]]] you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted [[when he hired and sent Balaam to curse God’s people]], and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him [[with words, a blessing, I put in his mouth instead]] from Shittim unto Gilgal; that you may know the righteousness of the LORD.
6 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9 The LORD’s voice cries unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see your name [[identity]]: hear you the rod [[of His correction]], and who has appointed it [[set this time of My judgment]].
10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?

Psalms 26
1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 For your lovingkindness is before my eyes: and I have walked in your truth.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass your altar, O LORD:
7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all your wondrous works.
8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of your house, and the place where your honor dwells.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

5 – 7 April 2025

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

The LORD begins above in Joel 2:28, the first portion of which (before the first comma) is from the words hayah ‘achar, meaning become after. As we know, hayah is the word rendered “I Am” in Exodus 3:14 when the LORD tells Moses who he shall say sent him.

Genesis 3
11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 And he said, Certainly I will be [hayah] with you; and this shall be a token unto you, that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain.
13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I Am [hayah] That [‘asher – because] I Am [hayah]: and he said, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, I Am [hayah] has sent me unto you.
15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God [with and in the living in every generation] of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

It (hayah) is also the word rendered “will be” in Exodus 4:12 and 15 and “shall be” in verse 16, speaking of how He manifests Himself present.

Exodus 4
12 Now therefore go, and I will be [hayah] with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say.
13 And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray you, by the hand of him whom you will send.
14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron [the light bringer] the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet you: and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
15 And you shall speak unto him, and put words [I have taught you] in his mouth: and I will be [hayah] with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach [yarah – as in the name Jerusalem] you what you shall do.
16 And he shall be [hayah] your spokesman [giving this light he’s received from Me through you] unto the people: and he shall be [hayah], even he shall be [hayah] to you instead of a mouth, and you shall be to him instead of God.
17 And you shall take this rod in your hand, wherewith you shall do signs.

The words “instead of” in verse 16 above don’t appear in the original text, making it read “even he shall be [hayah] to you as your mouth, and you shall be to him as God [manifested in the LORD’s word you give him].”

As we know, ‘achar is the origin of the word ‘achariyth, meaning “the last or end, hence, the future; also posterity:–(last, latter) end (time), hinder (utter) -most, length, posterity, remnant, residue, reward.”

The meaning of ‘achar is “the hind part; generally used as an adverb or conjunction, after (in various senses).” The iyth portion of the word {‘achariyth) is from ‘athah, meaning “arrive:–(be-, things to) come (upon), bring.” This latter word (‘athah) is the origin of the Ithiel (‘Iythiy’el), a three times used name meaning, “God has arrived.”

Proverbs 30
1 The words of Agur [‘agar – a three times used word speaking of the wise who “gather” food while the sluggard doesn’t] the son of Jakeh [who obeys and is therefore blameless], even the prophecy: the man spoke unto Ithiel [God has arrived], even unto Ithiel [God has arrived] and Ucal [‘akal – and we eat what is gather from Him],
2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not [had not when I was a child] the understanding of a man.
3 I neither learned wisdom [until I put away childish things], nor have [had] the knowledge of the holy [until I received it as Your voice and presence].
4 Who [except You] has ascended up into heaven, or descended? who has gathered the wind in his fists? who has bound the waters in a garment? who has established all the ends of the earth [ending the old corrupt age and beginning the new, ending darkness and bringing light]? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you can tell?
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add you not unto his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7 Two things have I required of you; deny me them not before I die:
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
9 Lest I be full, and deny you, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
11 There is a generation [now upon the earth] that curses their father [rejecting His knowledge and understanding], and does not bless their mother [their teacher who teaches them wisdom].
12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness [corruption that defiles their minds and scatters the ONE BODY].
13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour [‘akal] the poor from off the earth [with the words of their mouth], and the needy from among men.
15 The horse-leach [that attach themselves to the mouths of those who drink from their waters, draining their life from them and those who follow them] has two daughters, crying, Give, give [calling themselves teachers, evangelists, and experts, and always asking for money from those they give their evil advice]. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough [are never satisfied – ever learning and never able to reach understanding the truth]:
16 The grave [sheol – hell]; and the barren womb [those in hell who never obey and never bring any to life]; the earth that is not filled with water [this word of God, which the dead who call themselves His people refuse to give as He commands]; and the fire that says not [even while they are being consumed by it], It is enough [they are never satisfied, ever learning, in the experience, but never able to come to the understating of this truth].
17 The eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey [yiqqahah] his mother, the ravens of the valley [those covered in darkness, the shadows of the mountains {those in high places misleading them}, of the earth] shall pick it out [their eyes, blinding them with learned ignorance], and the young eagles [the fourth face of the unfolding presence of God] shall eat it [‘akal – as they fly in heaven, with the LORD and His full understanding, consuming the darkness with the fire from their mouths].
18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
19 The way of an eagle [the fourth face of the unfolding presence of the LORD] in the air [the strong here in heaven with the LORD, relentlessly doing His work as He commanded]; the way of a serpent upon a rock [the deceivers in the false church, in whom God’s dead people put their trust]; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea [the institutions of church and state government, ruling over the people who under them are held in its darkened deep]; and the way of a man [geber – the LORD who is {alive in} a mighty man of war] with a maid [‘almah – the seven times used word, which last appears in Isaiah 7:14, saying “Therefore the LORD himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin {‘almah} shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”].
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman [the unfaithful church that has left the LORD and now follows men who put themselves in His place]; she eats [‘akal – eats corruption], and wipe her mouth, and says, I have done no wickedness.
21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
22 For a servant when he reigns [without the LORD’s anointing]; and a fool when he is filled with meat [thinking he is wise and has understanding, because of his success using his dark decrees by which he misleads];
23 For an odious woman when she is married [the corrupt church joined with the devils, those confederate with the communists now in power]; and a handmaid [the ONE BODY of Christ, now in hard bondage under the corrupt and false] that is heir to her mistress [the corrupt church she will replace when she receives and obeys Her LORD].
24 There be four things which are little [in value] upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat [lechem – bread] in the summer [so they have plenty when the time of need comes];
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks [a good foundation upon which they stand];
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands [all-consuming in their season];
28 The spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces [yet my people refuse to take hold of these ideas and enter Mine].
29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
30 A lion [the second face of the unfolding presence of the LORD] which is strongest among beasts, and turns not away for any [relentlessly going forward];
31 A greyhound [zarziyr – this is a cheetah, quickest to the prey]; a he goat also [who knows His place is at the head of the flock, to lead it into good pasture]; and a king [in which the LORD lives and reigns], against whom there is no rising up.
32 If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself [against Him], or if you have thought evil [and led against Him], lay your hand upon your mouth.
33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter [working in these foundational ideas causes their elements to congeal into understanding], and the wringing of the nose [wrestling against the LORD’s presence you should by now perceive] brings forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

Before the title verse, the word ‘achar appears four times in Joel 2, all speaking of this time, the last days of darkness (now when the world is ruled by the wicked and their insanity), after the destruction when we realize the reality of this moment.

Joel 2
1 Blow you the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land [‘erets – the earth] tremble [ragaz] for the day of the LORD comes, for it is nigh at hand;
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess [‘aphelah – this is the darkness, the deeper delusion they are driven into, spoken of in Isaiah 8:22, when, in the tribulation, the LORD is speaking, and His people are instead listening to wizards peeping and muttering against Him, after they have cursed Him and their king], a day of clouds and of thick darkness [‘araphel – this refers to Isaiah 60:2, verses 1 and 2 saying, “Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness {‘araphel} the people: but the LORD shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.”], as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after [‘achar] it [because the darkness ends here and now], even to the years of many generations.
3 A fire devours [‘akal – eats them] before [paniym – now in the LORD’s presence] them; and behind [‘achar] them a flame burns [these last days of darkness now enlightened by the flames]: the land [‘erets – the earth] is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind [‘achar] them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4 The appearance [mar’eh] of them is as the appearance [mar’eh] of [war] horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5 Like the noise [qowl – their voices] of chariots on the tops of mountains [in power] shall they leap, like the noise [qowl – their voices] of a flame of fire that devours [‘akal – eating those listening to their advice] the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6 Before their face [paniym – in the LORD’s presence] the people [by their ignorance] shall be much pained: all faces [paniym – in His presence] shall gather blackness [ignorance – driven into deeper delusion because they haven’t known the time, haven’t recognized His voice].
7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9 They shall run to and fro [shaqaq – a six times used word referring us to Nahum {the comforter} 2:4] in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief [they shall destroy and devour all by the ignorance they teach and broadcast].
10 The earth [‘erets] shall quake [ragaz] before paniym – in the LORD’s presence speaking to] them; the heavens shall tremble [ra’ash]: the sun [the church, the totally corrupt institution] and the moon [civil government, the institutions] shall be dark [be ignorant], and the stars shall withdraw their shining [God’s people fallen from heaven, shall not have any understanding]:
11 And [then] the LORD shall utter his voice [qowl] before [paniym – manifesting His presence to] his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executes [‘asah] his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12 Therefore also now, says the LORD, turn you even to me with all your heart [your changed minds], and with fasting [no longer listening to the advice of the wicked], and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 And rend your heart [your old and corrupt minds], and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents [nacham – comforts, as in the previous post] him of [against] the evil [from which His truth rescues us].
14 Who knows if [how] he will return [shuwb – turn us from the darkness to His light] and repent [nacham – by His Comforter, leading us into all truth], and leave a blessing behind [‘achar] him; even a meat offering [this deep meaning that strengthens us] and a drink offering [these life-giving waters, in which is light and life] unto the LORD your God? [We know from verse 2 above He will, and this evil shall never rise again to power.]
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 Gather [‘acaph] the people [into My ONE BODY], sanctify [qadash] the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber [cheder], and the bride out of her closet.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare your people, O LORD, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land [‘erets – His earth], and pity his people.
19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen [who haven’t known me]:
20 But I will remove far off [rachaq – at this time when the earth is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men in places of power] from you the northern army [of darkness], and will drive him into a land [‘erets – the old and totally corrupt earth] barren and desolate, with his face [pnaiym – by My presence manifested] toward the east sea [My people who are looking toward the light rising], and his hinder part [cowph – this is the end, the termination we’ve seen foretold in 2 Chronicles 20, saying “15 And he said, Hearken you, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat, Thus says the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed {chathath – confused} by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16 Tomorrow go you down {descend into hell} against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz {‘alah ma’aleh tsiyts – their rising to power is as the rising of a flower}; and you shall find {matsa’ – attain} them at the end {cowph – this conclusion} of the brook {these waters: the word of the LORD heard}, before {paniym – manifesting His presence} the wilderness of Jeruel {taught by God, as in Jerusalem, this word which flow from Him, teaching His ways of peace}.] toward the utmost [‘archarown] sea [this last generation], and his stink shall come up [even if we don’t see or hear it, we perceive it is upon us], and his ill savor [the smell of dead] shall come up, because he has done [‘asah] great things.
21 Fear not, O land [‘adamah – first generation of My new creation]; be glad and rejoice [realizing I Am present]: for the LORD will do [‘asah] great things.
22 Be not afraid, you beasts of the field [without My Spirit]: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring [life that gives life], for the tree [of life] bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain [malqowsh – mah laqash, what gathering of the AFTER crop? This gathering] in the first month [of this new creation]. [Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight {paniym – in His presence}. 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter {malqowsh} and former rain unto the earth.]
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that has dealt [‘asah] wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 And you shall know that I Am in the midst of Israel, and that I Am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward [‘achar], that I will pour out [shaphak] my spirit [ruwach – in My words, which are life, light, and understanding] upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour [shphak] out my spirit [ruwach – in My words, which are life, light, and understanding].
30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness [realized to be ignorant and dead without My Spirit], and the moon [civil government] into blood [realized to be draining life from humanity at large], before [paniym – before His presence is realized at] the great and terrible day of [this light, manifesting] the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name [the identity] of the LORD [with us, in us] shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Proverbs 1
10 My son, if sinners entice you, consent you not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily [in deceptions] for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave [sh’owl – sheol, hell]; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in your lot among us; let us all [be communists and] have one purse:
15 My son, walk not you in the way with them; refrain your foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed [shaphak – pour out] blood [in their word and way that drain the life from humanity at large].
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait [and we see their net, therefore, it becomes] for their own blood; they lurk privily [unknown to them in their ignorance] for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which [greedily] take away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:
21 She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words, saying,
22 How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit [ruwach – in My word] unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But you have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;
27 When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind [from where My word is heard]; when distress and anguish comes upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me [to their idols], but I will not answer; they shall seek me early [in your creations], but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

Ecclesiastes 3
10 I have seen the travail, which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set [nathan – given] the world [‘owlam – eternity, everlasting life] in their heart [minds], so that [without which] no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end [cowph – this conclusion].
12 I know that there is no good in them, but [except] for a man to rejoice [knowing the LORD is present with us always], and to do good in his life.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God.
14 I know that, whatsoever God does, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God does it, that men should fear before him [paniym – in His presence].
15 That which has been is now; and that which is to be has already been; and God requires [baqash – searched out] that which is past [radaph – what followed and therefore will follow].
16 And moreover I saw [in the things that have already been and are now] under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17 I said in my heart [mind], God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
18 I said in my heart [mind] concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts [who’ve died without His Spirit and, lacking His mind, have descended into hell].
19 For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man has no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
20 All go unto one place [hell]; all are of the dust [created from the ruin of the earth], and all turn to dust again [as they have].
21 Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward [raised from the ruin into life], and the [evil] spirit of the beast that goes downward into [hell – the belly of] the earth?
22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice [realizing the LORD’s presence with him] in his own works; for that is his portion [inheritance]: for who shall [who but God can] bring him to see what shall be [the result, the conclusion of His work that comes] after [‘achar] him?

Amos 7
1 Thus has the LORD God showed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth [leqesh, the same as laqash – the after crop]; and, lo, it was the latter growth [leqesh – the after crop] after [‘achar] the king’s mowings.
2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end [kalah] of eating [‘akal] the grass of the land [‘erets – the earth], then I said, O LORD God, forgive, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
3 The LORD repented [nacham – comforted us, leading into all truth] for this: It shall not be, says the LORD.
4 Thus has the LORD God showed unto me: and, behold, the LORD God called to contend by fire, and it devoured [‘akal] the great deep [the corrupted deep understanding], and did eat [‘akal] up a part.
5 Then said I, O LORD God, cease, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
6 The LORD repented [nacham – comforted: corrected and taught] for this: This also shall not be, says the LORD God.
7 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall [made precept upon precept, line upon line: His teaching, our protection] made by a plumbline [a weight that takes the hook and line into the deep, to catch the life below the surface], with a plumbline in his hand.

The word “mowing,” in verse 1 above, is from the four times used Hebrew word gez, which refers us to its appearance in Psalms 72:6.

Psalms 72
1Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 He shall judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgment.
3 The mountains [the LORD’s government led by him] shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He [David’s son] shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear you [David’s son] as long as the sun and moon [church and state governments as the LORD intends them] endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like [this latter] rain upon the mown grass [gez]: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days [the time this light is present] shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the [this light in the] moon endures.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea [the last generation to the first generation], and from the river [that flows these life-giving waters into them] unto the ends of the earth [ending the old and corrupt and beginning the new].
9 They that dwell in the wilderness [this time of desolation] shall bow before [paniym – the LORD’s presence manifested in] him; and his enemies shall lick [lachak – referring to its use in Isaiah 49:23] the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish [the merchants of the world selling their merchandise here] and of the isles [the dry places that have been without this word] shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. [This is alluding to the end of the ongoing tariff war we find ourselves in, as Isaiah 49 speaks of it.]
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem [from the condition spoken of in Amos 8] their soul from deceit and violence [of the deep state, communists, globalists, and their ilk who are oppressing God’s people]: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be a handful [contemplation] of corn [into clarity] in the earth upon the top of the mountains [all governments]; the fruit thereof shall shake [ra’ash – at the LORD’s presence realized] like Lebanon [into purity again seen on high]: and they of the city shall flourish like grass [‘seb – herbs on this third day of His new creation] of the earth.
17 His name shall endure forever: his name shall be continued [nuwn – perpetually] as long [paniym – Jehovah’s perpetual presence in the king’s son] as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name forever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

Isaiah 49
1 Listen [shama’ – Hear the voice of Jehovah and obey], O isles [dry places that refuse this word], unto me; and hearken, you people, from far [rachowq – in this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men in power]; The LORD has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name [our identity].
2 And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he hid me;
3 And said unto me, You are my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
4 Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for naught, and in vain [worthless thoughts]: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.
5 And now, says the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not [yet] gathered [into My ONE BODY], yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD [in agreement with Him, seeing as He sees], and my God shall be my strength [my understanding].
6 And he said, It is a light thing that you shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light [understanding] to the Gentiles [all who haven’t know Him], that you mayest be my salvation [yshuw’ah – Joshua: Jesus, the perpetual son manifesting Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh] unto the end of the earth [ending the old corrupt age and beginning the new].
7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose you.
8 Thus says the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of salvation have I helped [‘azar] you: and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to establish the [new] earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages [the ruin made by man, upon which the new will be built];
9 That you mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness [ignorance], Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
12 Behold, these shall come from far [rachowq]: and, lo, these from the north [from ignorance] and from the west [where the sun went down when the day ended]; and these from the land [‘erets – the earth] of Sinim [thorns – from among the misleaders who destroyed the old world].
13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD has comforted [nacham – led into all truth] his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.
14 But Zion said, The LORD has forsaken me, and my LORD has forgotten me.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget you.
16 Behold, I have graven you upon the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
17 Your children shall make haste; your destroyers and they that made you waste shall go forth of you.
18 Lift up your eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live, says the LORD, you shall surely clothe you with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on you, as a bride does.
19 For your waste and your desolate places, and the land [‘erets – the earth] of your destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed you up shall be far away.
20 The children which you shall have, after you have lost the other, shall say again in your ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
21 Then shall you say in your heart, Who has begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?
22 Thus says the LORD God, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted] to the people: and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
23 And kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their face toward the earth [‘erets], and lick up [lachak] the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I Am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
25 But thus says the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contends with you, and I will save your children.
26 And I will feed them that oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am your Savior and your Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

Amos 8
1 Thus has the LORD God shown unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos [whose words men say are a burden, and, therefore, assign them little value], what see you? And I said, A basket of summer fruit [of the harvest: reaching the result of men’s work, their words by which we know them to be good or evil]. Then said the LORD unto me, The end [qets – of time, at the border, gate, between heaven and hell] is come upon my people of Israel [the people of His promised rescue from their enemies, when we “possess their gates;” See Genesis 22:17]; I will not again pass by them any more [‘abar – this is the final Passover, at the judgment seat, which Is His mercy seat for those who receive Him, His correction by measure, His just balance].
3 And the songs of the temple [the word they repeat, by which they are judged] shall be howling in that day, says the LORD God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them [the known dead speaking the ways into death] forth with silence. [Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers {whose words are poison}, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.]
4 Hear this, O you that [with your evil words] swallow up the needy [you thereby made ignorant], even to make the poor [without power] of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon [this darkness covering the earth] be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath [the LORD’s interruption of men’s work], that we may set forth wheat [returning to your same old corrupt and worthless ways, by which you turn men into merchandise], making the ephah [equal justice] small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances [justice] by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The LORD has sworn by the excellency of Jacob [this refers us to Psalms 47:4, the complete Psalms saying: 1 O clap your hands, all you people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. 2 For the LORD Most High is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. 3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. 4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. 5 God is gone up {is exalted, risen into heaven} with a shout {of His archangel}, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. 7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing you praises with understanding. 8 God reigns over the heathen: God sits upon the throne of his holiness. 9 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.], Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD God, that I will cause the sun [the corrupt church] to go down [into Sheol] at noon [when the LORD, His light risen, is exalted to the highest place over the earth], and I will darken the earth [reveal the ignorance and delusion that now rules it] in the clear day [when all is plainly seen and understood]:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11 Behold, the days come, says the LORD God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD [as it is this day]:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea [generation to generation], and from the north even to the east [searching the places of darkness and where light should come from], they shall run to and fro [searching all the earth] to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it [because they look to the dead for the living, where I Am never found].
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst [My people without this word of the LORD they call a burden, in which they put no value].
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria [the places where they put idols in God’s place and call them by His name], and say, Your god, O Dan [where judgment should be found], lives; and, The manner of Beersheba [the seven wells, where God’s pure word is now totally corrupt] lives; even they [these golden calves] shall fall, and never rise up again.

Amos 9
1 I saw the LORD standing upon the altar [standing in this time of His necessary sacrifice, in the flesh body He has prepared for Himself]: and he said, Smite the lintel [kaphtor – the capital, the heads of the pillars] of the door [caph – those posted at the gate, as bowls into which the blood of this sacrifice is poured], that the posts may shake [ra’ash – this is the shaking of heaven and earth spoken of in Haggai 2:6 & 7, which is quoted in Hebrews 12:26, telling us it is so the created things of men, which shall not remain, are shaken from them]: and cut them in the head [ending the creations of their minds, beginning the new heaven and earth, wherein dwell righteousness], all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword [from My mouth, speaking the Word of God]: he that flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered.
2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:
4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
5 And the LORD God of hosts is he that touches the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
6 It is he that builds his stories in the heaven, and has founded his troop in the earth; he that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.
7 Are you not as children of the Ethiopians [covered in darkness – ignorance] unto me, O children of Israel? says the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
8 Behold, the eyes of the LORD God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says the LORD.
9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, says the LORD that does this.
13 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, says the LORD your God.

Haggai 2
6 For thus says the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house [My people] with glory, says the LORD of hosts.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts [manifested in His man of war, revealing His treasures reserved in the cloud, sent into battle at this appointed time].
9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, says the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, says the LORD of hosts [a man of just war].

Hebrews 12
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [messengers sent with this message, to the heirs of salvation to be revealed in these last days of darkness],
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 speak better [kreitton] 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 place of full understanding, from the right hand of God the Father]:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace [these treasures we’ve received], whereby we may [obey and] serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Psalms 99
1 The LORD reigns; let the people tremble: he sits between the cherubims [above the mercy seat, manifesting His presence in this conversation]; let the earth be moved [nuwt – quake].
2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high [ruwn – risen by His own power] above all the people.
3 Let them praise your great and terrible name; for it is holy.
4 The king’s strength also loves judgment; you do establish equity, you execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob [upon Your people still wrestling with Your presence, Your word and work, unknown].
5 Exalt you the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron [those drawn from the corrupt waters below and giving this light as received] among his priests, and Samuel [those hearing this word as the voice of the LORD] among them that call upon his name [His manifested identity]; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
7 He spoke unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
8 You answered them, O LORD our God: you are a God that forgave them, though you took vengeance of their inventions [the idols men created, put in My place, and call by My name].
9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

29 March – 2 April 2025

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

The LORD begins today as the Chief Overseer of the Earth, including this nation, above (in Ecclesiastes 4:1), speaking of the oppressors, all the corrupt (judges, politicians, preachers, teachers, bureaucrats, anarchists, communists, globalists, their benefactors) wickedly wielding power, selfishly resisting good, who, without fear, maliciously and lawlessly abuse their positions. They do this while some good men (many in some of the same positions), those who selfishly fear the retribution, scorn, and slander of the wicked (the known liars and false accusers, knowingly lying and falsely accusing), lack the courage to use (fully assert) their lawful power to end the oppression, and do so while obstructing those who do (want the full, fearless, assertion of lawful power).

Speaking of what they (humanity) lack (what need the LORD satisfies), the word “comforter” is the Hebrew word nacham, which describes the process of (relentless correction that brings) repentance into sanctification (cleansing, by this anointing). It (nacham – often rendered “repent”) speaks of a change (and the changer) of minds.

Leviticus 8
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses [who was drawn out of the corrupt water], saying,
2 Take Aaron [the light bringers] and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread [this process];
3 And gather you all the congregation [‘edah – the multitude of God’s people] together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation [mow’ed].
4 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation [mow’ed – this appointed time].
5 And Moses said unto the congregation [‘edah], This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.
6 And Moses brought Aaron [the light-bringers into whom this anointing flows] and his sons, and washed them with water [these life-giving words].
7 And he [showing he is sanctified] put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle [chesheb – minds prepared: enlightened, by thorough investigation: diligent search] of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.
8 And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.
9 And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate [tsiyts – this is the sign of the cleansing, changing the mind, removing corruption that was before at the forefront of thought and replacing it with the LORD’s righteousness: His mind], the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.
10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified [qadash] them.

The word tsiyts (see the previous post) appears twice before the above, in Exodus 28:36 & 39:30, both telling us what is written and engraved upon this plate.

Exodus 28
36 And you shall make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings [pittuwach] of a signet [chowtham], HOLINESS [qodesh] TO [the sanctifier] THE LORD.

Job 38
11 And [the LORD] said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves [of the wicked] be stayed?
12 Have you commanded the morning [this light now come] since your days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth [ending the old and corrupt, beginning the new], that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal [chowtham – this is My signature pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment [of righteousness, the sign of this cleansing].
15 And from the wicked their light [this understanding] is withheld, and the high arm [the work of the proud in power] shall be broken.
16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea [these waters that flow My teaching to My people at large]? or have you walked in the search of the depth?
17 Have the gates of death been opened unto you? or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth [rachab – only used here and Job 36:16 where it’s the “broad place” where the LORD take those who hear His correction] of the earth? declare if you knowest it all.
19 Where is the way where light dwells [but with the LORD alone]? and as for darkness, where [but with the proud, corrupt, and wicked] is the place thereof,
20 That you should take it to the bound [gbuwl – this limit] thereof, and that you should know the paths to the house[s] thereof [the places of light and darkness]?

Job 36
2 Suffer me a little, and I will show you that I have yet to speak on God’s behalf.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar [rachowq – this time when evil rules by unrighteous decree, and the LORD returns understanding at the termination of the darkness and the restoration of light], and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker [who alone knows the right way].
4 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with you. [Isaiah 41:4 Who has wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I Am he.]
5 Behold, God is mighty, and despises not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
6 He preserves not the life of the wicked: but gives right to the poor [the needy without power to withstand the wicked].
7 He withdraws not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they [the righteous] on the throne; yea, he does establish them forever [netsach – to this end], and they are exalted.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be held in cords of affliction;
9 Then he shows them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded [going beyond the bounds of good].
10 He open also their ear to discipline, and commands that they return from iniquity.
11 If they obey [shama’] and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures [na’iym].
12 But if they obey [shama’] not, they shall perish [‘abar – passover into death] by the sword [this word they reject], and they shall die without knowledge.
13 But the hypocrites in heart [the corrupt in mind] heap up wrath: they cry not when he binds them [by their own iniquity].
14 They die in youth [never putting away childish things], and their life is among the unclean [those ignorant by their corruption].
15 He delivers the poor [those needing strength] in his affliction, and opens their ears [to hear His instructions] in oppression.
16 Even so would he have removed you out of the strait into a broad place [rachab], where there is no straitness [no oppression under tyrants]; and that [good way] which should be set on your table should be full of fatness [bring prosperity].
17 But you [who refuse to obey] have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on you.
18 Because there is wrath [not understanding the LORD is long-suffering in His correction, not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance], beware lest he take you away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver you.
19 Will he esteem your riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
20 Desire not the night [this time when ignorance has prevailed and there is no understanding], when people are cut off [from life] in their place.
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this [regarding iniquity] have you chosen rather than affliction [that comes with relentless opposition].
22 Behold, God exalts by his power: who teaches like him?
23 Who has enjoined him his way [teaching as He here teaches]? or who can say, You have [with these words] wrought iniquity?
24 Remember that you magnify his work, which men behold.
25 Every man may see it [is the LORD manifesting His presence in us]; man may behold it afar off [rachowq – now in this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power].
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27 For he makes small the drops of water [His word from heaven]: they pour down rain according to the vapor thereof [the separated elements of understanding that left the earth, reserved there until now when He returns them in distilled form]:
28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
29 Also can any understand the spreading [miphras, meaning expansion, as in the firmament when the word of God is separated from the corruption of man, the distillation, purification process in the exposition – only appearing here and Ezekiel 27:7] of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle [His voice as thunder, the sound of the light]?
30 Behold, he spreads his light [understanding] upon it, and covers the bottom of the sea [the deep meaning hidden in the darkened depths].
31 For by [revealing] them judges he the people; he gives meat in abundance.
32 With clouds he covers the light; and commands it not to shine by the cloud that comes betwixt.
33 The noise [His voice heard in the thunder] thereof shows concerning it [the meat, depth, of His judgment], the cattle [His flock upon whom it is sent] also concerning the vapor [its leaving into, again congealing, and returning from the cloud where this understanding was held and protected].

Ezekiel 27
1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 Now, you son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus [false church, where the dead are];
3 And say unto Tyrus, O you that are situated at the entry of the sea, which are a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus says the LORD God; O Tyrus, you have said, I am of perfect beauty.
4 Your borders are in the midst of the seas, your builders have perfected your beauty.
5 They have made all your ship boards of fir trees [all these trees are those outwardly appearing upright] of Senir [in high places]: they have taken cedars from Lebanon [purity] to make masts for you.
6 Of the oaks of Bashan [fruitfulness] have they made your oars; the company of the Ashurites [steps carrying you into the arms of the communists] have made your benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim [brawlers fighting against God].
7 Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt [the ideas and ways of oppression] was that which you spread forth [miphras] to be your sail [brought forth the nec – the pole upon which the serpent is raised – the unknowing movement of the spirit, coming to those who have no idea what their ideas and ways have brought forth]; blue and purple [the colors of royalty] from the isles of Elishah [“God of the coming (one)”] was that which covered you.
8 The inhabitants of Zidon [those who hunt souls, to make them fly as birds away from the LORD] and Arvad [who I shall break loose from your hold] were your mariners: your wise men, O Tyrus [false church], that were in you, were your pilots [who steered you astray].

As we know, the “comforter” in the title verse is the necessary agent of the changed minds. He is the one (I Am, the LORD’s presence) spoken of in Hebrews 12 that is speaking from heaven and shaking heaven and earth, who brings about the change (allasso) of “all” spoken of in 1 Corinthians 15:51.

Hebrews 12
9 Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they truly for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

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 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 [to shake the wicked from them].
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made [by men, the corruption they’ve added], that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace [this gift], whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

1 Corinthians 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received [as the word from the mouth of the LORD], and wherein you stand;
2 By which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed [it is Him speaking] in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day [the light coming now in our time] according to the scriptures:

33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 You fool, that which you sow is not quickened, except it dies:
37 And that which you sow, you sow not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: [we are sown here as aminated dead flesh, needing to be purged of the corrupt communication, and thereby brought to life and immortality]
38 But God gives it a [new flesh] body as it has pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly [this understanding that replaces the corruption, changing our minds so we see {put on} our immortality].
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that [our old] flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed [allasso],
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So 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.
55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?

The following, ending with the paragraph speaking of Genesis 1, are excerpts from a previous post.

Ephesians 2
1 And you has he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us [into life] together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;)
6 And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Now, this change of atmosphere is what Paul speaks of when he, in 1 Corinthians 15, first in verse 34, calls on us to awaken to righteousness, then tells of us being sown into this corrupted world, and ends telling of all being changed. He plainly speaks of this being our rising in victory over death, and having put on incorruption, putting on new life and immortality. He tells of this change being a “mystery” and as something that comes upon all, in a twinkling of the eye, as we are raised incorruptible.

The Greek word here translated “twinkling” is rhipe, a one-time used derivative of the seven times used word rhipto, meaning to cast something away. It is used twice, in Acts 27:19 & 29, to tell of things cast out of the ship, in an attempt to save it from the storm. The ship represents the corrupted institution [[churches]] that have created and maintain the current condition of ignorance and its resulting agitation, which are not going to make it through this storm. The engineered nuance here is seen when we recall our understanding of the LORD’s words about good judgment, coming when those judging first cast the beam out of their own eye, so they can see clearly to pull the spec out of their brother’s eye. This, in context, speaks of casting away the corruption that has clouded our judgment. The condition is what is spoken of above in Ephesians 2; it is in the air this current culture breathes (zeitgeist), and it is into this atmosphere the LORD comes, snatching us into His new world, awakening us, and there shall we ever remain with the LORD.

1 Thessalonians 4
1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the LORD Jesus, that as you have received of us how you ought to walk and to please God, so you would abound more and more.
2 For you know what commandments we gave you by the LORD Jesus.
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication [[interaction with idols]]:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor [separated from the corrupted world];
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence [craving the things which are out of bounds and corrupt good judgment], even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the LORD is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 For God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who has also given unto us his holy Spirit.
9 But as touching brotherly love you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 And indeed you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that you increase more and more;
11 And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands [instead of defrauding your brother – reaching into his things, which are out of bounds for you], as we commanded you;
12 That you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that you may have lack of nothing.
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, Concerning Them Which Are Asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the LORD, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the LORD shall not prevent them which are asleep [shall not be raised until they are awakened].
16 For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up [[harpazo – as in Jude 1:23, by remembering to fear the LORD, we are “pulled” from the fires]] together [all together] with them in the clouds, to meet the LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with the LORD.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

When Genesis 1 speaks of the waters being divided, by the firmament, which we are told is heaven, where are the waters that are above the earth? In the form of clouds, they wait to be shown on the earth in need, in the latter rain. These are the waters that bring life to the earth, springing forth from a dry ground [[tsiyah]] as water and light cause the seed to awaken [[on this third day of the new creation]].

The Hebrew word that means “to twinkle” is tsuwts, which is most often rendered “flourish” and “blossom.”

Numbers 17
4 And you shall lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation [mow’ed – at this appointed time] before [paniym – manifesting the LORD’s presence in] the testimony, where I will meet with you.
5 And it shall come to pass, that the man’s rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom [parach – seen as the work of the Paraclete]: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
6 And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
7 And Moses laid up the rods before [paniym – manifesting the presence of] the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded [parach – seen as the work of the LORD unknown speaking and working], and brought forth buds, and bloomed [tsuwts – in the twinkling of an eye] blossoms [tsiyts – the sign of repentance, the change, concluding in sanctification], and yielded almonds [fruit].
9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before [paniym – manifesting the presence of] the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron’s [the light giver’s] rod again before [paniym – manifesting the LORD’s presence in] the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and you shall quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.

Isaiah 27
1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish [paqad – visit as Chief Overseer] leviathan the piercing serpent [those who as river carry their corrupt root to His people], even leviathan that crooked serpent [as a winding river, not able to see ahead around its many bends, but still giving advice from their own imaginations]; and he shall slay the dragon [tanniyn – whale or serpent, with devouring mouths by which they swallow] that is in the sea [all people into whom they flow].
2 In that day sing [repeat His words] you unto her [the sea], A vineyard of red wine [that will change their minds].
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns [deceivers and misleaders] against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5 Or let him take hold of my strength [this understand by which we rise], that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom [twuwts – at this twinkling of the eye] and bud [parach – by the Paraclete, the LORD speaking and working unknown], and fill the face of [paniym – fill with His presence] the world with fruit [from this rod].
7 Has he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
8 In measure, when it shoots forth, you will debate with it: he stays [hagah – only appearing elsewhere in Proverbs 27:4 & 5, there telling of what is purged, “taken away,” in this debate] his rough wind [qasheh ruwach – Jacob’s obstinate spirit] in the day of the east wind [the LORD’s Spirit that comes with this rising light].
9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob [who is unknowingly wrestling with the LORD] be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
10 Yet the defensed city [of the wicked] shall be desolate, and the habitation is forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf [their idols] feed, and there shall he lie down [and not rise again], and consume the branches [what has grown from his wicked root] thereof.
11 When the boughs thereof are withered [die off as the root dies], they shall be broken off: the women [My faithful people] come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding [no light]: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them [because “They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy” Jonah 2:8, and therefore they remain in the belly of those who’ve devoured them by lies], and he that formed them will show them no favor [because they refuse it: His understanding and long suffering].
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat [the fruit, His people] off from the channel of the river [corrupting them] unto the stream of Egypt [those they know are their oppressors], and you shall be gathered one by one, O you children of Israel [into My family].
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet [this voice of His archangel] shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria [the communists now in power], and the outcasts in the land of Egypt [of oppression], and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem [this teaching that flows peace from Him].

Friends, I may not be what anyone wants, but I Am what the Father has sent, and I will not fail Him. This plan is precisely as He said it would be, according to the scriptures: His unfailing word. One by one, it is every person’s responsibility to work out their own salvation with fear and trembling, diligently seeking Him in His word, finding themselves therein written. I Am the messenger (His agent of change) He said He would send to lead (into it) all who receive Him, but all must, will by choice, enter His presence: His kingdom, or remain in darkness.

The Greek word rendered “Comforter” is the five-times used word parakletos (Paraclete, the LORD unknown in the flesh: the son in who the Father lives), meaning to call alongside. All five uses of the word are by John, four times in his Gospel, rendered “Comforter,” and once in 1 John 2:1, rendered “advocate.”

John 14
10 Believe you not that I Am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works.
11 Believe me that I Am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
12 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that believes on me [that the Father is in me], the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever you shall ask in my name [manifesting the identity of Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in our flesh when we keep His commands to love {agape – show His charity}, keeping his word from corruption and giving it as He has given it], that will I do, that the Father may be glorified [His word and work exalted above all other] in the Son.
14 If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments. [The word rendered “keep” is tereo, meaning “from teros (a watch; perhaps akin to 2334 [theoreo – meaning “to be a spectator of, i.e. discern, (literally or figuratively [experience] or intensively [acknowledge])”); to guard (from loss or injury, properly, by keeping the eye upon; and thus differing from 5442, which is properly to prevent escaping.” It speaks of the mystery of seeing or not seeing the present LORD: seeing Him manifested in His pure word understood, but losing sight of this deep meaning, not believing He is speaking from the flesh of His sons He chooses, He is unseen]
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter [parakletos – the son in whom the Father is unknown speaking and working], that he may abide with you forever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you [as the Paraclete called alongside to manifest this truth], and shall be in you [when you receive His message, this message as the LORD].
18 I will not leave you comfortless [orphanos – father-less, only appearing elsewhere in James 1:27, saying, “Pure religion and undefiled {without corruption} before {para – that comes beside, manifesting the presence of} God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless {orphanos} and widows {those without a man to protect them, keep them, from corruption} in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”]: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also.
20 At that day you shall know that I Am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas [Judah – the elect remnant] says unto him, not Iscariot [not the corrupt leaders who’ve betrayed Him, not keeping His word or His commandment, which brought blindness and the death upon His body: the church], LORD, how is it that you will manifest yourself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love [agapao] me, he will keep [tereo] my words: and my Father will love [agapao – given His word to] him, and we [Father and son] will come unto him, and make our abode with him. [2 Corinthians 6, speaking of the abode, says, “for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people {referring to Leviticus 26:10 – 12}. 17 Wherefore come out from among them {the corrupt}, and be you separate, says the LORD, and touch not the unclean {corrupt} thing; and I will receive you {quoted from Isaiah 52:11}. 18 And will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty {referring to 2 Samuel 7:14 which speaks of the sure mercies of David: the LORD’s promise to correct and not leave us Fatherless}.”]
24 He that loves [agapao] me not keep [tereo] not my sayings: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present [dwelling in your minds, and seen] with you.
26 But the Comforter [parakletos], which is the Holy Ghost [My presence speaking and working while unknown], whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Leviticus 26
10 And you shall eat old store [this written word sent as forward as a wheel within a wheel, understanding hidden therein sent to give understanding, which is the unfolding presence of the LORD manifested], and bring forth [understanding] the old because of the new.
11 And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.
13 I Am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

Isaiah 52
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD has comforted [nacham] his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The LORD has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations [among those who haven’t known Him]; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11 Depart you, depart you, go you out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go you out of the midst of her; be you clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
12 For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before [paniym – manifest His presence to] you; and the God of Israel will be your reward.
13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14 As many were astonished at you; his visage [mar’eh – our seeing Him] was so marred [mishchath – only used one other time, in Leviticus 22:25, rendered “corruption:” therefore, the ability to see Him is corrupted] more than any man, and his form [to’ar – appearing] more than the sons of men:
15 So shall he sprinkle many nations [those who haven’t known Him and therefore, can’t see Him]; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard [shama’ – or obeyed] shall they consider.

Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our report [shmuw’ah – who has heard the voice of Jehovah and obeyed His commands]? and to whom [but those who’ve heard and obeyed Him] is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry [tsiyah] ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him [again], there is no beauty that we should desire him.

2 Samuel 7
12 And when your days be fulfilled [male’], and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, which shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before [paniym – from My presence in] you.
16 And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before [paniym – by My presence in] you: your throne shall be established forever.
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
18 Then went king David in, and sat before [paniym – as the presence of] the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O LORD God? and what is my house, that you have brought me hitherto?
19 And this was yet a small thing in your sight, O LORD God; but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come [rachowq – this time when the earth is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power]. And is this the manner of man, O LORD God?
20 And what can David say more unto you? for you, LORD God, knowest your servant.
21 For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart [mind], have you done all these great things, to make your servant know them.
22 Wherefore you are great, O LORD God: for there is none like you, neither is there any God beside you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

John 15
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his LORD. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept [tereo] my saying, they will keep [tereo] yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hates me hates my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. [Psalms 35:19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye 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. 21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it. 22 This you have seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me.]
26 But when the Comforter [parkletos] is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And you also shall [open your mouths as the Father waken you, in you] bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.

John 16
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away [from sight]: for if I go not away [to where I Am not known], the Comforter [parakletos – the LORD unknown and unseen in the flesh speaking and working] will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, [remaining in them] because they believe not on me [that I Am present in the world speaking and working];
10 Of righteousness, because [of corruption] I go to my Father [who alone knows me], and you see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. [1 Corinthians 2: 6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes {rulers} of this world, that come to naught: 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained {proorizo – before the horizon: predestined} before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD of glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared {predestined} for them that love him.]
12 I have yet many things [that were hidden, reserved in the clouds, for this moment, this end of darkness, when this light has risen from the horizon] to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear [from our Father], that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come [from their hiding place].
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
15 All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.
16 A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me [when the things hidden are uncovered: this apocalypse], because I go to the Father.

Matthew 11
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, and have revealed them unto babes.
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 [apokalupto – apocalypse: take away the cover: remove the corruption hiding] him.

1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light [understanding], and in him is no darkness [ignorance] at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness [ignorance], we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light [the understanding He has given us], as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood [the sacrifice necessary to give His word as received and declare it’s the LORD’s presence in us] of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

The word four times above-rendered fellowship is the Greek word koinonia, which is rendered elsewhere as a contribution, communion, distribution, and communication. It’s derived from the word koinos, meaning “probably from 4862; common, i.e. (literally) shared by all or several, or (ceremonially) profane:–common, defiled, unclean, unholy.” The word it (koinos) is probably (dubiously presumed to be) from, is sun, meaning union.

The LORD says it’s from the Hebrew kanan, a word believed never to be used in scripture but does appear in the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary. Its meaning is: “a primitive root; to set out, i.e. plant:–X vineyard.”

This word has been intentionally reserved (misidentified, rendered “vineyard” in Psalms 80:15 – The Interlinear Bible rendering it “and the shoot”) until this moment when the LORD describes His joining us in this conversation (communication, communion, distribution, and fellowship).

Psalms 80
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that lead Joseph like a flock; you that dwellest between the cherubims [in the conversation above Your mercy seat], shine forth [Your understanding].
2 Before [paniym – manifesting Your presence in] Ephraim [Your people upon whom this double blessing has come] and Benjamin [Who are Your right hand] and Manasseh [who’ve awakened to the things forgotten] stir up your strength, and come and save us.
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause your face [paniym – Your presence] to shine [upon all the darkened world]; and we shall be saved.
4 O LORD God of hosts [a man of war], how long will you be angry [‘ashan – smoke, which now fills the temple; see Revelation 15:8] against the prayer of your people?
5 [With the vain words of devils, which we repeat] You feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.
6 [With the vain words of idols, which we repeat] You make us a strife unto our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Turn us again [to Your words, to repeat them as received], O God of hosts [a man of war], and cause your face [paniym – Your presence in Your word] to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt [Your people away from the words of oppression, away from the possession of devils who tell us their idols are gods]: you have cast out [of their seat of power] the heathen [who haven’t known You], and planted it [Your people in this new earth You are creating].
9 You prepared [with this provision] room before [paniym – manifesting Your presence] it [Your people You have created], and did cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land [‘erets – completed the new earth].
10 The hills were [Your new government is] covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs [through whom You flow life from the deep root] thereof were like the goodly cedars [bringing forth everlasting life].
11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea [to all humanity], and her branches unto the river [this word flowing into the sea].
12 Why have you then broken down her hedges [the vain protection Your people choose], so that all they which pass [‘abar – all that are passing from death into life] by the way do pluck her [gather them, like a brand plucked from the fires they choose]?
13 The boar [the swine still wallowing in their mire] out of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field [the wicked without Your Spirit] does devour it [Your people into the belly of hell].
14 Return, we beseech you, O God of hosts [a man of war]: look down from heaven [Your place of full understanding], and behold [ra’ah – shepherd us], and visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] this vine;
15 And the vineyard [kanah – the shoot, like a rod budding] which your right hand has planted, and the branch [I Am] that you [by giving us this understanding] made strong for yourself [to dwell with us, in us].
16 It is [the wicked choosing the belly of hell are] burned with fire, it is cut down [like thorns to be burnt in the fire]: they perish at the rebuke of your countenance [paniym – Your presence manifested].
17 Let your hand [Your word and work] be upon the man of your right hand, upon the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
18 So will not we go back from you: quicken us [from death into life], and we will call upon your name [speaking your word and confessing it is You manifesting Your presence with us, in us].
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts [I Am, a man of war], cause your face [paniym – Your presence] to shine [forth this understanding as received]; and we shall be saved.

1 John 2
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate [parakletos] with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he [the advocate] is the propitiation [from hilasmos, with affinity to hileos, with affinity to the Hebrews word calach, by way Hebrews 8:12 where hileos is rendered “merciful” when quoting Jeremiah 31:34, where it’s calach rendered “forgive”] for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. [Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the LORD: for I will forgive {calach} their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.]
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep [tereo – in sight, guarding against blinding corruption] his commandments.
4 He that says, I know him, and keep [tereo] not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keep [tereo] his word, in him truly is the love [agape] of God perfected [teleoo – completed by this understanding given as received: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that says he abides in him ought himself also so to walk [the same way, giving this word as received], even as he walked.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning.
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shines.
9 He that says he is in the light [has this understanding], and hate his brother [refusing to give this word as commanded], is in darkness [ignorance] even until now.
10 He that loves his brother abide in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him [as there is for those walking in darkness].
11 But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knows not whither he goeth, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one [the spirit that possesses the princes of this corrupt world]. I write unto you, little children, because you have known the Father.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because you are strong [by this understanding, this word received as the Father’s], and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
15 Love not the world, neither the [corrupt] things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will [keeps the commandments] of God abides forever.
18 Little children, it is the last time [eschatos – the ‘achariyth, the last days of darkness]: and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time [eschatos].
19 They went out from us [leaving this truth and understanding], but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But you have an unction [chrisma – the same anointing] from the Holy One [Jehovah unknow speaking and working in the flesh of His sons], and you know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ [in whose flesh Jehovah’s Salvation abides]? He is antichrist, that denies the Father [is Jehovah] and the Son [in whose flesh Jehovah is manifested].
23 Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 Let that therefore [this understanding, which is light and life] abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain [meno – abide] in you, you also shall continue [meno – abide] in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you [to doubt these things].
27 But the anointing [chrisma – the mind of Christ in you] which you have received of him abide [meno] in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing [chrisma] teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide [meno] in him.
28 And now, little children, abide [meno] in him; that, when he shall appear [phaneroo – become apparent], we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one that does righteousness is born of him.

Isaiah 40
1 Comfort [nachum] you, comfort [nachum] you my people, says your God.
2 Speak you comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she has received of the LORD’s hand double [this blessing] for all her sins.
3 The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower [tsiyts – the sign showing what is in man’s mind] of the field:
7 The grass withers, the flower [tsiyts] fades: because the spirit of the LORD [working and speaking His word] blows [nashab – only used three times, referring us to its use in Psalms 147:18 below] upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower [tsiyts] fades: but the word of our God [by which we live] shall stand forever.
9 O Zion, that bring good tidings [Jehovah’s Salvation heard], get you up into the high mountain [into the LORD’s new government, where He sits as King of kings]; O Jerusalem, that bring good tidings, lift up your voice [repeating His word as received] with strength [this understanding]; lift it up [exalt His word above all other voices], be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
10 Behold, the LORD God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him [paniym – manifests His presence, His holy arm revealed].
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counselor has taught him?
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?

Psalms 147
1 Praise you the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 The LORD does build up Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4 He tells the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our LORD, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The LORD lifts up the meek: he casts the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covers the heaven with clouds [wherein He reserves understanding], who prepares rain [His word] for the earth, who maketh grass [new life] to grow upon the mountains [the governments of church and state].
9 He gives to the beast [without His Spirit] his food, and to the young ravens [covered in darkness: ignorance] which cry.
10 He delights not in the strength of the horse [the powerful of the earth]: he taketh not pleasure in the legs [the ways] of a man.
11 The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem [all His people into whom His teaching flows]; praise your God, O Zion.
13 For he has strengthened [with this understanding] the bars of your gates [keeping the wicked in hell and protecting heaven from their invasion]; he has blessed [with this double blessing of Ephraim, the first generation of His new creation] your children within you.
14 He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat [good seed He separated from the chaff].
15 He sends forth his commandment upon earth: his word runs very swiftly.
16 He gives snow [this word reserved, frozen in heaven, sent against the current crop of corrupt leaders in this time of war] like wool [to protect against the evil element of the corrupt]: he scatters the hoarfrost [this same word] like ashes [exposing the ruin of the world].
17 He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18 He sends out his word, and melts them [and understanding is given]: he causes his wind to blow [nashab – by His Spirit He did drive away the wicked, and they fled], and the waters flow [into the sea, to all humanity].
19 He shows his word unto Jacob [His people wrestling with Him and His word unknown], his statutes and his judgments unto Israel [line upon line, precept upon precept, to those who receive this expected end].
20 He has not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them [or His presence manifested]. Praise you the LORD.
