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.
