3 – 5 May 2025
Wherefore, as I live, says the LORD God; Surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore will I also diminish you; neither shall my eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
The LORD begins in the above, Ezekiel 5:11, speaking of what has already occurred, after [‘achar] which affects He sends His sword, His word against the abominations, the root cause (the corrupt elements: foundational idea with which men replaced the LORD and truth) of their self-destruction.
(Friends, if the LORD says all the institutions of church and state are completely corrupted and must either reform, which includes purging them of the corruption and the corrupt, or burn up in the fires they’ve created, will He relent or change His mind without accomplishing it? He is not going to allow them to continue as they are. This moment isn’t merely a temporary rest until they can resume their (progressive) evil. It ends here, and if those now leading don’t proceed with this in mind, they will be taken out of the way, and others who are more vigilant and courageous will replace them. Amen!)
Ezekiel 5
12 A third part of you shall die with the pestilence [deber, from dabar, meaning “to arrange; but used figuratively (of words), to speak; rarely (in a destructive sense {as does deber}) to subdue,” the effects of straying away from the LORD, agreeing and joining with {becoming like-minded, infected by} those who have], and with famine [without this word of the LORD] shall they be consumed in the midst of you: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about you [opinions and deceptions, false interpretations of reality, with which they destroy truth]; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds [of false doctrines that have divided God’s people into factions, and conquered them], and I will draw out a sword [My righteousness, rightly dividing error from truth and delusion from reality, by this fire from My mouth as light consuming the darkness] after [‘achar] them [after their working wickedness, as in 2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness {light} of his coming: 9 Whose coming is after {the effect of} the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love {agape – this word given as received} of the truth, that they might {by this word made flesh among us} be saved. 11 And for this cause {to destroy the works of Satan through those possessed by him} God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.].
13 Thus shall my anger be accomplished [kalah – have a full end in the destruction of wicked], and I will cause my fury to rest [nuwach – Noah: those who reach the expected end] upon them, and I will be comforted [nacham – their comforter, their Paraclete, leading them into all truth]: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal [qin’ah – the fire of My jealousy] when I have accomplished [kalah] my fury in them. [Daniel 12:4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end {qets}: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold {I saw}, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river {during the time when the book is sealed and opened again}. 6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river {of time carrying this word of God forward}, How long shall it be to the end {qets} of these wonders? 7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that lives forever that it shall be for a time {mow’ed – an appointed time when the book was closed}, times {mow’ed – now when it is opened again to the congregation}, and a half {chetsiy – when this word is split open again, as it was on the other side, and rightly divided}; and when he shall have accomplished {kalah} to scatter the power {by corrupting the true word of God, and it isn’t in them effectually working to bring them to life} of the holy people, all these things shall be finished {kalah}. 8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my LORD {‘adown – our King}, what shall be the end {‘achariyth – the last days} of these things?]
14 Moreover, I will make you waste, and a reproach among the nations {all who haven’t known the ever-present LORD] that are round about you, in the sight [‘ayin – the eyes, by this fountain, seeing as the LORD sees] of all that pass by [‘abar – who have passed from death into life].
15 So it shall be a reproach [cherpah – a rebuke of the wicked] and a taunt [gduwphah – only used here, meaning to revile {wickedness}], an instruction [muwcar – a warning and correction] and an astonishment [mshammah – the desolate wondering what they are hearing] unto the nations [those who haven’t known the ever-present LORD with us, in us] that are round about you, when I [with zeal] shall execute [My righteous] judgments in you in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken it [dabar – rightly ordered it by these words].
16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows [strong delusion] of famine [to those rejecting this word, disregarding the warning, and refusing correction], which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread [the now totally corrupt language they speak]:
17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts [those without My Spirit], and they shall bereave you [the wicked shall no longer reproduce their wickedness]: and pestilence [deber – their words that produce disorder] and blood [this necessary sacrifice, speaking the LORD’s word and declaring His presence with us, in us] shall pass through you [‘abar – bringing those who receive Him from death into life]; and I will bring the sword [this word rightly dividing errors from the truth and delusion from reality] upon you. I, the LORD, have spoken it [dabar – rightly ordered this understanding].
The word rendered “abominations,” in verse 11 above, is tow’ebah, said to be from ta’ab, meaning “to loathe, i.e. (morally) detest.” It is more logically from ta’ah, meaning “to vacillate, i.e. reel or stray (literally or figuratively) also causatively of both,” and ‘abah, meaning “to breathe after, i.e. (figuratively) to be acquiescent:– consent, rest content, will, be willing.”
Proverbs 1
1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2 To know wisdom and instruction [muwcar – warning to be heeded and correction to be received]; to perceive the words of understanding;
3 To receive the instruction [muwcar] of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb [mashal], and the interpretation [mliytsah – an enigma, at which the simple-minded wonder]; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings [chiydah].
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, hear [shama’ – and obey] the instruction [muwcar – the warning and correction] of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother:
9 For they shall be an ornament [livyah – from the same origin as Levi and Leviathan: lavah, and Jehovah, meaning these things are borrowed from the LORD and aren’t ours to sell or pawn] of grace unto your head [his word given into our mind], and chains about your neck. [Habakkuk 2: 5 Yea also, because he transgresses by wine, he is a proud man, neither keeps at home {Jude 1: 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate {speaking God’s word as received}, but left their own habitation {and now speak their own words they put in His place}, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.}, who enlarges his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers unto him all nations, and heaped unto him all people: 6 Shall not all these take up a parable {mashal} against him, and a taunting {mliytsah – wise interpretation} proverb {chiydah} against him, and say, Woe to him that increases that which is not his {selling what isn’t theirs to sell}! how long {referring to Habakkuk 2:3 below” the mow’ed, the appointed time of the congregation}? and to him that lades himself with thick clay {‘abtiyt – “something pledged {vowed}, i.e. (collectively) pawned goods,”}! 7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite you, and awake that shall vex you, and you shall be for booties unto them?]
10 My son, if sinners entice you, consent [‘abah] 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 an unknown trap laid] 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 [of the goods they steal].
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 [minded] ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof [towkechah – correction]: behold, I will pour out my spirit [ruwach – in My word] unto you, I will make known my words unto you. [Habakkuk 2: 1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved {towkechah – as in Proverbs 3:11 & 12, saying “My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction {towkechah}: For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.”}. 2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time {mow’ed – Daniel’s time and times appointed, of Abram’s deep sleep}, but at the end {qets – the end of days, the end of the sleep, when the book is opened, and Daniel, God’s judgment, stands again} it shall speak {the mouths of God’s people shall again speak His life, light, understanding, to the world}, and not lie: though it tarry {mahahh – though His people remain hesitant and reluctant}, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry {‘achar – referring us to its uses in Ecclesiastes 5:5, the passage saying, 4 When you vow a vow unto God {to obey His voice and keep His commands}, defer not to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools: pay that which you have vowed. 5 Better is it that you shouldest not vow, than that you shouldest vow and not pay. 6 Suffer not your mouth {speaking your own words and refuse to speak His} to cause your flesh to sin; neither say you before the angel {His messenger, I Am the one He’s sent}, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands? 7 For in the multitude of dreams {the creations of your wandering minds} and many words there are also divers vanities {many worthless words}: but fear you God. 8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel {tamahh – wonder not at what you are seeing, because He has plainly declared it through His messenger} not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regards {seeing it all and telling the world of it}; and there be higher than they. 9 Moreover the profit {this profiting from remaining with the Father and keeping His commands} of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field {the work into which He sends you}.}. 4 Behold, his {the wicked’s} soul which {in pride} is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his {their own} faith {that this is the LORD presence manifested with us, in us, as we speak in His name: as His identity}.]
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 [‘abah] none of my reproof [towkechah]:
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 voice is heard]; when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me [to their idols they call by My name], 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 [‘abah] 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 [mow’etsah – their own purpose: counsel].
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkens [shama’ – hears and obeys] unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
The Hebrew word muwcar, meaning “chastisement; figuratively, reproof, warning or instruction; also restraint,” is always used to speak of the LORD’s correction, which, when received, is life and, when rejected, death.
Job 5
1 Call now, if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the saints [qawdosh – the holy ones] will you turn?
2 For wrath kills the foolish [‘eviyl – who despise and mock truth] man, and envy [qin’ah – zeal without righteousness] slays the silly one [pathah – the easily deceived].
3 I have seen the foolish [‘eviyl] taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation [their corrupt institutions].
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate [by the crowd trying to escape the hell’s fires they’ve created], neither is there any to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eat up, and taketh it [their evil advice] even out of the thorns [from misleaders], and the robber swallows up their substance.
6 Although affliction comes not forth of the dust [the earth’s ruin didn’t cause the current troubles, the cause of the troubles are the same that produced the earth’s ruin], neither does trouble spring out of the ground [but it is rather the creation of evil men in power];
7 Yet man is born unto trouble [into the time ruled by the ignorant and confused], as the sparks fly upward [into the darkness becoming dark].
8 I [finding myself in such a time] would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
9 Which does great things and unsearchable; marvelous [eye opening] things without number:
10 Who gives rain [this word from heaven] upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields [to cause new life to spring forth, to nourish the needy]:
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn [realizing their condition] may be exalted to safety.
12 He [the LORD] disappoints the devices of the crafty [using subtle deceptions, thinking they are unseen], so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward [twisting and perverting truth] is carried headlong [mahar – into destruction by their own words and ways].
14 They meet with darkness [in ignorance] in the day time [this time when understanding has come, which they reject], and grope [are unable to grasp this understanding] in the noonday as in the night.
15 But he [the LORD] saves the poor [without worldly power] from the sword [the evil words of men], from their mouth, and from the hand [the evil works] of the mighty.
16 So the poor has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore, despise not you the chastening [muwcar] of the Almighty:
18 For he maketh sore, and binds up: he wounds, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver you in six troubles: yea, in seven [His completing, perfecting, us] there shall no evil touch you.
20 In famine [when we were without His world in the world] he shall redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword [the words of the wicked].
21 You shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue [of misleading men]: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts [men without the LORD’s Spirit] of the earth.
23 For you shall be in league [joined in ONE BODY] with the stones of the field [from whom flows the word of God]: and the beasts [those without the LORD’s Spirit] of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 And you shall know that your tabernacle shall be in peace; and you shall visit [paqad – you shall be the chief overseers of the earth to] your habitation, and shall not sin.
25 You shall know also that your seed shall be great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 You shall come to your grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn comes in in his season [with many seeds from one].
27 Lo this, we have [diligently] searched it, so it is; hear it [shama’ – and obey His voice] and know you it for your good.
Job 12
2 No doubt but you [my accusers] are the people [of vanity], and wisdom shall die [has died] with you [with your death].
3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who [but the dead] knows not such things as these?
4 I Am as one [to whom wisdom has come again from the LORD] mocked of his neighbor, who calls upon God, and he answers him: the just upright [resurrected] man is laughed to scorn [by the dead].
5 He [without understanding] that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp [a guide in the darkness] despised [buwz – held in contempt and shamed] in the thought of him that is at ease [sha’anan – secured by the LORD].
6 The tabernacles of robbers [shadad – the dead] prosper, and they that provoke God are secure [battuchowth – putting their trust in worldly strength]; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly [this power by which they deceive themselves].
7 But ask now the beasts [bhemah – dumb flesh, those who were silent], and they shall teach you; and the fowls of the air [who’ve risen into heaven by the LORD’s strength], and they shall tell you:
8 Or speak to the earth [where these things are manifested into reality, ending the old and corrupt and beginning the new], and it shall teach you: and the fishes of the sea [My elect remnant living among humanity at large, below its surface in this deep] shall declare unto you [bringing your end suddenly, in an instant].
9 Who knows not in all these that the hand of the LORD has wrought this [by which He says, “Here I Am”]?
10 In whose hand [work] is the soul of every living thing, and the breath [life] of all mankind.
11 Does not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
12 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
13 With him is wisdom and strength, he has counsel and understanding.
14 Behold, he breaks down, and it cannot be built again: he shuts up a man [in death], and there can be no opening [pathach].
15 Behold, he withholds the waters [of heaven], and they dry up: also he send them out, and they [His words, these words] overturn the earth.
16 With him is strength [‘oz] and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
17 He leads counselors away spoiled, and makes the judges fools.
18 He looses [pathach – opens, frees from death] the bond [muwcar – by His warning and correction] of kings, and gird [prepares] their loins with a girdle [these provisions, with which He crowns them].
19 He leads princes away spoiled, and overthrows the mighty.
20 He removes away the speech of the trusty [who’ve refused these waters], and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
21 He pours contempt upon princes, and weakens the strength of the mighty.
22 He discovers [these] deep things out of darkness [hidden in men’s ignorance], and bringeth out to light [understanding] the shadow of death [which is the ignorance of men in power].
23 He increases the nations [the population of those who haven’t known Him], and destroys them [by the hand of those they choose to follow]: he enlarges [scattering them abroad] the nations, and straitens them again [nachah – “to guide; by implication, to transport (into exile, or as colonists)”].
24 He taketh away the heart [the sound mind] of the chief of the people of the earth, and cause them to wander [by going their own ignorant way] in a wilderness where there is no way.
25 They grope in the dark [following their own ignorance] without light [understanding], and he makes them to stagger like a drunken man.
Job 20
1 Then answered Zophar [departing] the Naamathite [from na ’em, meaning agreeable: these names tell us his opinions are in agreement with those who strayed from God and full understanding], and said, [as we know, Satan is working through him and Job’s two other so-called friends, and they are the Leviathan {in Job 3:8, the mourning {leviathan}} raised up, which speaks of them as fallen teachers and preachers, drawn into the open as they condemn Job and in doing catch themselves in their own trap.]
2 Therefore, do my thoughts [ca’iph – his opinions] cause me to answer [shuwb – are returned upon him], and for this I make haste [chuwsh – from the previous post: Isaiah 28:15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell {sheol – the habitation of the dead} are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone {from whom this teaching flows}, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation {for the new earth}: he that believes shall not make haste {chuwsh – when I hasten the end of the wicked}. {Isaiah 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one {tsa’iyr} a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten {chuwsh} it in his time {when the LORD is revealed by His everlasting light manifested in the flesh}.]
3 I have heard [shama’ – the voice of Jehovah] the check [muwcar – warning and correction] of my reproach [klimmah – of his confusion], and the spirit [of the LORD] of my understanding [biynah – which only Jehovah has] cause me to answer [‘anah – 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.”]
4 Knowest you not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
5 [And he begins his condemnation of Job, and therein condemns himself] That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite [chaneph – those soiled by corruption] but for a moment?
6 Though his excellency mounts up to the heavens [with the LORD in full understanding], and his head [mind] reaches unto the clouds [where understanding is found];
7 Yet he [when corrupted] shall perish forever like his own dung [which comes from his body and is good for nothing]: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
8 He shall fly away as a dream [when a man awakens and realizes his thoughts are creations of his own sleeping mind], and shall not be found [in the place where understanding should be found]: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
9 The eye also which saw [shazaph – burnt by the sun: corrupted by the teaching of the church] him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
10 His children shall seek to please [ratsah – repay] the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods [‘own – substance, strength: understanding].
11 His bones are full of the sin of [squandering his substance] his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust [‘aphar – the resulting ruin of the earth].
12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
14 Yet his meat [deep understanding that strengthens] in his bowels is [by corruption] turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
15 He has swallowed down riches [his inheritance], and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue [his own words] shall slay him.
17 He shall not see the rivers [these words the LORD now flowing into this generation], the floods, the brooks of honey and butter [by which man learns to refuse evil, the poison from the mouths of serpents, and choose good].
18 That [the corruption] which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
19 Because he has oppressed and has forsaken the poor; because he has violently taken away a house which he built not;
20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of [his corrupt understanding] that which he desired.
21 There shall none of his meat [his falsely so-called deep understanding] be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
22 In the fulness of his [self] sufficiency he shall be in straits [oppression]: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it [this word of God from heaven] upon him while he is eating.
24 He shall flee from the iron [this strongest of all] weapon, and the bow of steel [that sharpens steel] shall strike him through.
25 It is drawn, and comes out of the body [from which the LORD speaks]; yea, the glittering sword comes out of his gall [his own words condemning him]: terrors are upon him.
26 All darkness [his ignorance of which he is ignorant] shall be hid [taman – reserved in heaven in the cloud] in his secret places [tsaphan – in the LORD’s storehouse for this moment]: a fire not blown [not from the LORD’s mouth] shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left [remains] in his tabernacle [institutions where their corruption continues to be preached and taught].
27 The heaven [this full understanding come] shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up [from death into life] against him.
28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
29 This is the portion [inheritance] of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
The only other time the word muwcar appears in Job is in Job 36:10, as Elihu (meaning he is God speaking in the flesh unknown) is talking to Job (before he sees it is God speaking from the whirlwind).
All the following is from the post of 24 November 2024:
Job 36
1 Elihu [He is God {speaking unknown}] also proceeded, and said,
2 Suffer me a little, and I will show you that I have yet to speak [millah] on God’s behalf [this last word isn’t in the original text, which actually says “I will show yet more God words”].
3 I will fetch [nasa’ – exalt] my knowledge [dea’] from afar [rachowq – in his time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of wicker men in power, when full understanding has come], and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker [Who has made me in His image and likeness].
4 For truly my words [millah] shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with you [in me].
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.
7 He withdraws not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he does establish them forever, and they are exalted.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
9 Then he shows them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
10 He opens also their ear to discipline [[muwcar – warning and correction]], and commands that they return from iniquity.
11 If they [hear these words as His, and] obey [shama’] and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
12 But if they [refuse to hear these words as His, and] obey [shama’] not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he binds them [by their own iniquity].
14 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
15 He delivers the poor in his affliction, and opens their ears [to hear His word] in oppression.
16 Even so would he have removed you out of the strait [of oppression] into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that [these treasures] which should be set on your table should be full of fatness [prosperity].
17 But you have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: [their cruel] judgment and [reversed] justice take hold on you.
18 Because there is wrath, 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 of God covers the earth], when people are cut off [from the LORD’s presence] in their place.
21 Take heed, regard [panah – return] not [to] iniquity: for this [remaining in iniquity] have you chosen rather than affliction.
22 Behold, God exalts by his power [in His revealed word that effectually works in our minds]: who teaches like him?
23 Who has enjoined him [paqad – seeing as He sees, joined Him as Chief Overseer, Chief Shepherd, of the earth, which is] his way? or who can say [blaspheming Him], You have wrought iniquity?
24 Remember that you [when His glory is revealed in you] magnify his work, which men behold.
25 Every man may see it [His presence with us, in us]; man may behold it afar off [rachowq – this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power, now when this full understanding has come].
26 Behold [see as He sees], God is great, and we [not realizing His presence in His word] know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27 For he makes small the drops of water [His word sent from the least among men – I Am]: they pour down rain [His word from the cloud of heaven] according to the vapor thereof [by assembling the same elements of understand that left the earth and were held in the cloud, with Him at His throne]:
28 Which the clouds do drop and distill upon man abundantly.
29 Also, can any understand the spreading of the clouds [this exposition in the firmament, which God calls heaven], or the noise of his tabernacle?
30 Behold, he spreads his light [His understanding] upon it, and covers the bottom [sheresh – uncovers this deep understanding] of the sea [which He flows into His people].
31 For by them judges he the people; he gives meat [that gives His strength] in abundance.
32 With clouds he covers the light; and commands it not to shine by the cloud that comes betwixt [paga’ – where it is held in abeyance until this time of war].
33 The noise thereof shows concerning it, the cattle [His flock] also concerning the vapor [[held in the cloud]].
The word “noise,” in verse 29 above, rendered from the four times used word tshu’ah, is used in Isaiah 22:2 & Zachariah 4:7 to definitively tell us that the LORD’s tabernacle (made without the hands of man) is His people in whom He dwells.
The word rendered “noise” in verse 33 is the three times used word rea’, which refers us to its use in Exodus 32:17 and Micah 4:9.
Take heed:
Acts 13
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man [here and now] declares it unto you.
Acts 17
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God [flesh of His flesh, bone of His bone], we ought not to think that the God head 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 everywhere to repent:
31 Because he has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man [I Am] whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.
Friends, there’s a great battle still ahead to recover God’s people from the institutions of church and state that hold them in darkness. There is no rest until the ONE BODY of Christ has risen with an understanding of this moment and the LORD’s presence.
Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision [this word by which the lowly see as the LORD sees]. What ails you now, that you are wholly gone up to the housetops [to escape the necessary conflict at hand]?
2 You that are full of stirs [tshu’ah], a tumultuous city, joyous city: your slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle [but as cowards running from the battle].
3 All your rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers [the false accusations of the enemies]: all that are found in you are bound together [by their fear of the wicked in power], which have fled from far [rachowq – from the evil decrees that rule this time].
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the LORD God [the King of kings and LORD of LORDs] of hosts [a man of war] in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls [which hold back this word and keep My people from seeing My presence in My work], and of crying to the mountains [the LORD’s call to open your mouths against the wicked in power in every institution of government in church and state].
6 And Elam bare the quiver [all who’ve lived throughout all eternity] with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir [the wall, the lies and falsehood, interpretations’ effect that keeps wicked men in power and the world in ignorance] uncovered the shield [magen – the LORD with us as the buckler of the earth].
7 And it shall come to pass, that your choicest valleys [the low places in which the LORD reveals Himself] shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate [out of hell into heaven, from darkness and death into light and life].
8 And he discovered [galah – revealed in this apocalypse] the covering [macak – removing the veil and showing My presence to My elect remnant] of Judah, and you did look in that day to the armor [nasheq – revealing these weapons of My warfare] of the house of the forest [to the upright who’ve become My family by receiving me].
9 You have seen also the breaches of the city of David [My people scattered from their king], that they are many: and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool [this word sent to the lowly].
10 And you have numbered the [understood the many] houses of [old and corrupt] Jerusalem, and the houses have you broken down to fortify the wall [keeping back this word and not giving it as commanded].
11 You made also a ditch between the two walls [lie and falsehood, agreement with death and hell, under which your leaders think they hide] for the water of the old pool [keeping My written word held in your channels of ignorance]: but you have not looked unto the maker thereof [who inspired it], neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago [rachowq – to be revealed in this time when the earth is ruled by evil decree].
12 And in that day did the LORD God of hosts [the King of kings and LORD of LORDs, who is a man of war] call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth [when these things are revealed]:
13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die [going willingly, without opposition, into your own destruction, which is obviously coming to the sluggards who sleep on, refusing to believe this is that day, in the light, of the LORD].
14 And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till you die, says the LORD God of hosts.
15 Thus says the LORD God of hosts, Go, get you unto this treasurer [cakan – those to whom this word was entrusted], even unto Shebna [who’ve prospered by their control], which is over the house, and say,
16 What have you here? and whom have you here, that you have hewed you out a sepulcher here [where you store the dead], as he that hewn him out a sepulcher on high, and that graven a habitation for himself in a rock [from where My word should flow, but instead it is held back and replaced with men’s creations]?
17 Behold, the LORD will carry you away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover you [‘atah – with your own confusion; see Psalms 109:29, saying “Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover {‘atah} themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.”].
18 He will surely violently turn and toss you like a ball into a large country [rachab ‘erets – a confused earth]: there shall you die, and there the chariots of your glory shall be the shame of your LORD’s house [the men you follow as gods you’ve exalted above Me].
19 And I will drive you from your station, and from your state shall he pull you down.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim [God raised, to be established {from quwm}] the son of Hilkiah [whose inheritance is Jehovah]:
21 And I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your girdle [this cover and preparation, contrasted against the other time ‘atah appears in Psalms 109, in verse 19, speaking of the wicked, anointed {of Satan} devils, who are cut off from the earth, saying, “19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covers {‘atah} him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. 20 Let this be the reward of my adversaries {satan} from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.”], and I will commit your government [memshalah – governments of church and state] into his [my] hand: and he [the LORD in me] shall be a Father to the inhabitants of [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah [the elect remnant that receive me in the name of the LORD]. [Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, You shall not see me from here forward, until you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the LORD.]
22 And the key [that opens the door] of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.
24 And they shall hang [the understanding of all the law and the prophets] upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue [all those born by coming into His light], all [the holy] vessels of small quantity, from the [holy] vessels of cups, even to all the [holy] vessels of flagons.
25 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, shall the nail [upon which hangs the corrupt understanding of all the law and prophets] that is fastened in the sure [in which all trust] place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD has spoken it.
The matter, the controversy as we know it, is a lack of subordination to the power God has raised. It (rebellion, in which all worldly powers are now engaged, as dogs barking in the night, this time when ignorance covers the earth, against God’s good government in church and state) is the topic of Psalms 109 (& 110), and what the LORD speaks of in Matthew 23.
Matthew 23
31 Wherefore you be witnesses unto [against] yourselves, that you are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill you up then the measure of your fathers.
33 You serpents [whose poison, which rots the minds of men, is in your mouths], you generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell [the result of your own cursing come upon you]?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues [all your gathering places, where truth and justice should be administered], and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel [speaking of all in who the spirit of Cain is manifested, who kill their brothers, “Because his {Cain’s} own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.”] unto the blood of Zacharias [all these righteous men, who the LORD now brings to remembrance] son of Barachias [who are the blessed of Jehovah], whom you slew between the temple and the altar [offering them as your evil sacrifice]. [Isaiah 66:3 …Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delight in their abominations. 4 I also will choose their delusions {their insanity they can’t differentiate from reality}, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.]
36 Truly I say unto you, All these things shall [have now] come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and stones them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, You shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the LORD.
Psalms 109
1 Hold not your peace, O God of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer [conversing with the LORD who’s given me understanding of the matter].
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set you a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand [as the spirit inspiriting them].
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer [unto the gods, idols men created and put in my place, which they deceitfully call by My name] become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office [pquddah – as the overseers, watchmen, of the earth].
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow [the insane who speak and work their evil].
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner [who steals their inheritance from them] catch all that he has; and let the strangers spoil his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out [cut off from the earth].
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers [whose knowledge is to do evil to his brothers] be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother [their teachers who teach them wisdom is to speak and work evil] be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart [who their evil ways made desolate].
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covers [‘atah] him, and for a girdle [preparation] wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of my adversaries [satan – the reward to those who attack and accuse me] from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 But do you for me, O God the LORD, for your name’s sake [in which you have sent me]: because your mercy [in our conversation at Your mercy seat] is good, deliver you me.
22 For I am poor and needy [without worldly power], and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declines [as Your sun rises, showing Your glory]: I am tossed up and down as the locust [by the same winds destroying the destroyers].
24 My knees are weak through fasting [Your people remain weak through refusing Your word as Yours]; and my flesh [of Your dead body] fails of fatness [because they refuse to prosper by these treasures You’ve sent them].
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shake their heads [refusing me].
26 Help me, O LORD my God [King of kings and LORD of LORDs]: O save me according to your mercy:
27 That they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless you: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let your servant rejoice.
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover [‘atah] themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
Zachariah 4
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel [who is the national leader born by coming out of confusion], saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war].
7 Who are you, O great mountain [corrupt governments of church and state]? before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings [tshu’ah], crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you.
10 For who has despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice and shall see the plummet [this right assessment that precedes the victory] in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven [the church]; they are the eyes of the LORD [seeing as He sees], which run to and fro [giving this knowledge of God] through the whole earth.
Exodus 32
17 And when Joshua heard the noise [qowl – the voices] of the people as they shouted [rea’], he said unto Moses, There is a noise [qowl – voices] of war in the camp.
18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear [repeating the words of men they made idols they put in God’s place].
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ [my] anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
21 And Moses said unto Aaron [the light givers now making idols], What did this people unto you, that you have brought so great a sin upon them?
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my LORD wax hot: you knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses [the LORD’s prophet, The LORD’s voice who alone was drawn from the waters below], the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
Acts 17
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, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed anything, 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;
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 [always present with 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 [flesh of His flesh, bone of His bone].
Deuteronomy 18
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken [shama’ – hear and obey] unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21 And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow [hayah] not [is not understood or realized, comes not into being], nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously [zadown]: you shall not be afraid of him.
Micah 4
6 In that day, says the LORD, will I assemble her that halts [became lame and wandered off the right path], and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
7 And I will make her that halts [was lame] a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even forever.
8 And you, O tower of the flock [who see as the LORD sees], the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, unto you shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [into whom this teach has flowed].
9 Now why do you cry [rea’] out aloud? is there no king in you? is your counsellor perished? for pangs have taken you as a woman in travail [to bring forth the ONE BODY of Christ].
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the city [out of corrupt church and state institutions], and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to [realizing this is] Babylon; there shall you be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Now also many nations [who haven’t known the LORD] are gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the LORD of the whole earth.
Psalms 136
3 O give thanks to the LORD of LORDs: for his mercy endures forever.
4 To him who alone does great wonders: for his mercy endures forever.
5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endures forever.
6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endures forever.
7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endures forever:
8 The sun [the enlightened church government] to rule by day [the enlightened]: for his mercy endures forever:
9 The moon [enlightened civil government] and stars [God’s enlightened people] to rule by night [the ignorant who reject the light]: for his mercy endures forever.
Psalms 110
A Psalm of David
1 The LORD [Jehovah] said unto my LORD [‘adown – the king He will establish], Sit you at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.
2 The LORD [Jehovah] shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion: rule you in the midst of your enemies [as I do, as commanded by the Higher power].
3 Your people shall be willing in the day of your power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning [this day now come]: you have the dew of your youth.
4 The LORD [Jehovah] has sworn, and will not repent, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek [the king of righteousness, and king of peace].
5 The LORD [‘Adonay – the King of kings] at your right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads [ro’sh – those whose evil ideas and ways rule] over many countries [‘erets – over the earth].
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way [this word sent into this time, to be revealed, by which]: therefore, shall he lift up [ruwm – raise and exalt] the head [ro’sh – His righteous ideas and way].
