28 May – 1 June 2025
Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto you, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
The LORD, above in Jonah 1:11, begins today describing the only sign of the end.
The LORD tells us this (no sign except this given to this evil and adulterous generation) in Matthew 12:39, Mark 16:4, and Luke 11:30; Matthew in verse 41 and Luke in verse 32 add the further detail that it is a sign to Nineveh. In the New Testament, this place only appears in these two passages. They both say the men of Nineveh repent at this preaching (like Jonah’s), are resurrected in this judgment, and (opening their mouths as commanded) condemn this evil generation.
Matthew 12
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees [the religious leader – the merchant men in the ship with Jonah] answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from you.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s [ketos, from chasma, the uncrossable “gulf” between heaven and hell; both words only used once] belly [Jonah, in Jonah 2:2, telling us it’s the “belly of hell,” both the whale and uncrossable gulf are the mouths of men, the words by which these men are judged and condemned because they are the tempest that agitates the sea]; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Nineveh [this generation, the perpetual children of God, immortals who awaken and put on their immortality] shall rise [anistemi – resurrected on this third day] in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
42 The queen of the south [coming to see what she before only heard of, and seeing] shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold [and seeing], [saw] a greater than Solomon is here.
Jonah 1
1 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah [the dove, the sign of the end reached] the son of Amittai [the son of My truth], saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh [My sleeping children], that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up [‘alah] before me [paniym – and in you I must rise and manifest My presence against it].
3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish [to the merchants who occupy the church] from the presence [paniym] of the LORD, and went down to Joppa [descended away from My brightness]; and he found a ship [church] going to Tarshish [descending into being mere merchants]: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence [paniym] of the LORD.
4 But the LORD sent out a great wind [His Spirit to move upon the face of the waters, to stir up and draw out the source of the agitation, into the light] into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest [ca’ar] in the sea, so that the ship [the church] was like to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What mean you, O sleeper? arise, call upon your God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray you, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is your occupation? and whence come you? what is your country? and of what people art you?
9 And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which has made the sea and the dry land.
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why have you done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence [paniym] of the LORD, because he had told them.
11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto you, that the sea may be calm [shathaq – with affinity to shathan and shatham, with further affinity to satan and sane’, referring to those making water against the wall, false prophets in the church, whose eyes will eventually be opened] unto us? for the sea wrought [halak – humanity went its own way], and was tempestuous [ca’ar].
12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea [out of the church and among the people at large]; so shall the sea be calm [shathaq] unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest [ca’ar] is upon you.
13 Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought [halak – went its own way], and was tempestuous [ca’ar] against them.
14 Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech you, O LORD, we beseech you, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for you, O LORD, have done as it pleased you.
15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging [ra’aph].
16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
17 Now the LORD had prepared [manah] a great fish [dag] to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly [me’ah] of the fish [dag] three days and three nights.
The word shathaq, used twice above, only appears two other times. The first, in Psalms 107:30, speaks of what causes the storms to “cease,” and the other, in Proverbs 26:20, of the storm’s cause (the underly cause of the agitation).
As we know, in Matthew 8:24, the cause of the agitation is under the sea, when the word rendered “tempest” is seismo, a fourteen times used word rendered “earthquake” in all its other uses. This meaning is seen in the word dag, in Jonah rendered “fish,” which describes the proliferation of falsehoods (hidden beneath the surface of the words) and the resulting agitation.
Strong’s #1709: dag (pronounced dawg); or (fully) dag (Nehemiah 13:16) {dawg}; from 1711; a fish (as prolific); or perhaps rather from 1672 (as timid); but still better from 1672 (in the sense of squirming, i.e. moving by the vibratory action of the tail); a fish (often used collectively):–fish.
The LORD is, as was Jonah, as I Am, as is His ONE BODY, swallowed up by the falsehood of men, talebearers whose mouths are always wide open, like a great “gulf” that can only be crossed by the LORD, like Jonah, awakening (in His people) in the ship and then cast into the sea, like Moses cast the tree into the bitter waters of strife.
Exodus 15
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider has he thrown into the sea.
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host has he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Your right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: your right hand, O LORD, has dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of your excellency you have overthrown them that rose up against you: you sent forth your wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart [the mind] of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 You did blow with your wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto you, O LORD, among the gods? who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 You in your mercy have led forth the people which you have redeemed: you have guided them in your strength unto your holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear [shama’ – and obey], and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold [‘achaz] on the inhabitants of Palestina [the Philistines, the army of invaders].
15 Then the dukes of Edom [enemies mixed among us] shall be amazed; the mighty men [‘ayil – the ram] of Moab [those whose mouths are the gates holding the world in death and hell], trembling shall take hold [‘achaz] upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm they shall be as still as a stone; till your people pass over [‘abar – from death into life], O LORD, till the people pass over [‘abar], which you have purchased.
17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which you have made for you to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which your hands have established.
18 The LORD shall reign forever and ever.
19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing you to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider has he thrown into the sea.
22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur [the “wall” of lies]; and they went three days [waiting in the belly of hell for the resurrection] in the wilderness, and found no water [no word of God].
23 And when they came to Marah [bitterness], they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter [mar]: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him [yara’ – taught him of] a tree [of life], which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet [mathaq – a five times used word that speaks of counsel, here referring to the LORD’s counsel refused until this time when the tree of life is cast into the sea, to the people at large who, in bitterness, wait for this moment]: there he made for them a statute [choq] and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
26 And said, If you will diligently hearken to [shama’ – obey] the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in his sight, and will give ear [‘azan – pay close attention] to his commandments, and keep all his statutes [choq], I will put none of these diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that heals [rapha’] you.
27 And they came to Elim [‘ayil – overcoming the ram, men whose mouths, their evil counsel opposing and resisting the LORD’s anointed, at the gate of hell that cannot stand against this word of God], where were twelve wells of water [governmental perfection], and threescore and ten palm trees [the resurrection that comes with ending the causes of the desolation, ending the abominations put in God’s place, the evil counsel that replaced His good]: and they encamped there by the waters.
The following, ending with Acts 13, is from the post of 5 March 2021:
That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
The above is the LORD speaking of the culmination, the crescendo, the unfolding events that will complete the ruin and ultimately, from the dust and ashes, bring renewal. I say, let it come, even so, come LORD Jesus, LORD of the Army of heaven.
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, “Come into the stronghold, let the city of the tempest (seismos) and war be built and prepared: For there is a fire gone out of the stronghold, a flame from the city of the tempest (seismos) and war: it has consumed the city of the ever-open mouths that are the gates of hell, and the lords of the high places from where flowed their brawling words to the world, as rivers into the sea. Woe to you, gates of hell! you are undone, O people subdued: He has given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto tempest (seismos) and war to rule over those who’ve exalted their words and idea’s above God’s. We have shot at them; the stronghold has perished even unto ruin, and we have laid them waste as if by a mighty wind, which reaches unto waters that are calmed.” Thus God’s people will be rulers under Him as He rules the land once possessed by those who exalted their words and ideas over His.
The above is a translation of the names that appear in the passage below.
Numbers 21
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, “Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it has consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Woe to you, Moab! you are undone, O people of Chemosh: he has given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reaches unto Medeba.”
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
As we know, the word seismos is the word rendered one time as “tempest,” in Matthew 8:24, and thirteen times more as “earthquake.” There, in Matthew, we are told it is a great earthquake in the sea (like those now occurring in the South Pacific), and those who’ve followed the LORD, into a ship taking them to the other side (of death into life), waking Him saying Hosanna (Save now), as we saw in the previous post.
Matthew 8
22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest [seismos – earthquake] in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, LORD, save us: we perish.
26 And he said unto them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 But the men marveled [thaumazo], saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
The word rendered above as “awoke” and “arose” is egeiro, which is the word used to tell of the LORD rising from the dead. This rising is what those following Him were amazed at, meaning they still didn’t know He was the risen LORD hidden in a man. “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?”
The meaning of thaumazo, is “to wonder; by implication, to admire.”
2 Thessalonians 1
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the LORD Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know [eido – see] not God, and that obey not the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the LORD, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired [thaumazo] in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our LORD Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the LORD Jesus Christ.
Acts 13
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder [thaumazo], and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
Proverbs 26
1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not seemly [nav’eh – suitable] for a fool.
2 As the bird [believing they have risen with understanding] by wandering [away from the LORD], as the swallow by flying, so the curse [the reward earned by fools who think they are the wise] causeless shall not come.
3 A whip for the horse [making him run the course of the rider], a bridle [controlling the mouth] for the ass, and a rod [of correction] for the fool’s back.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly [you do if you accept his false premise], lest you also be [a fool] like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly [not accepting his false premise], lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 He that sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off the feet [and the message is undermined], and drinks [brings upon his cause] damage.
7 The legs of the lame are not equal [and he therefore strays from his course]: so is a parable in the mouth of fools [misinterpreted].
8 As he that binds a stone in a sling, so is he that gives honor to a fool [hinders his own cause when pointing out his foolishness].
9 As a thorn goes up into the hand of a drunkard [unknown], so is a parable [unknowable] in the mouths of fools.
10 The great God that formed all things both rewards the fool [with his own foolishness], and rewards transgressors [with his own transgression].
11 As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly [even after it is proven to be foolishness].
12 See you a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him [who is incorrigibly blinded by his pride].
13 The slothful man says [looking for any reason not to obey the LORD’s commands], There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 As the door turns upon his hinges [going nowhere], so does the slothful upon his bed [remaining in a deep sleep, from which he is called to awaken].
15 The slothful hides his hand in his bosom [refusing to work]; it grieves him to bring it again to his mouth [to eat and speak as he is commanded].
16 The sluggard [never diligently seeking, because they ignorantly believe they already know all] is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason [why he should look and see].
17 He that passes by, and meddles with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18 As a mad man who castes firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 So is the man that deceives his neighbor, and says, Am not I in sport [saying they are only kidding – double entendre intended]?
20 Where no wood is, there the fire goes out: [the maxim is] so where there is no talebearer [nirgan], the strife [bitter waters] ceases [shathaq].
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer [nirgan] are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly [of hell].
23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 He that hates [sane’] dissembles with his lips, and lays up deceit within him;
25 When he speaks fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations [tow’ebah] in his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shown before the whole congregation.
27 Whoso digs a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolls a stone, it will return upon him.
28 A lying tongue hates [sane’] those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth works ruin.
We know who the real haters are. They are men we oppose, not to destroy but to, with Truth, correct, whose hate destroys those who follow their evil advice (corrupt opinions). Among them are the incorrigibles, those rejecting correction, whose end is eternal separation from God and His people (separated by their choice to remain dead and in the hell they created).
These hateful men are above called “talebearers,” from the word nirgan, from the words niyr and gan, meaning these men are like fallow ground in the garden, alluding to the serpent in Eden, there but not planted by the LORD.
Ezekiel 23
23 The Babylonians [those ruling the world by the confusion they created], and all the Chaldeans [those using lies and deception as policy: spells to manipulate and control], Pekod [who make themselves the evil overseers of the earth], and Shoa [the rich and powerful], and Koa [who cut off humanity from God and life], and all the Assyrians [all communists] with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
24 And they shall come against you with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against you buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge you according to their [corrupt and evil] judgments.
25 And I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal furiously with you: they shall take away your nose [your ability to perceive My presence or the time] and your ears [as now, when you are unable to hear My voice; because you made yourselves not My people] and your remnant shall fall by the sword [this word all initially reject]: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your residue shall be devoured by the fire.
26 They shall also strip you out of your clothes [your protection against the corrupt element of the world], and take away your fair jewels [these treasures I left you].
27 Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you, and your whoredom [leaving Me to follow demagogues now turned tyrants] brought from the land of Egypt: so that [when You realize My presence, when you realize these things have happened just as I told you they would] you shall not lift up your eyes [not looking] unto them [to lead you out of the hell they led you into], nor remember [the ways of oppression] Egypt any more.
28 For thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hatest [sane’ – adversaries you should correct, giving them this word as received, declaring they are God present with us, in us], into the hand of them from whom your mind is alienated [from whom you must separate yourselves until they repent]:
29 And they shall deal with you hatefully [sin’ah – because they are the adversaries of Yah: Jehovah], and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare: and the nakedness of your whoredoms shall be discovered, both your lewdness and your whoredoms.
30 I will do these things unto you, because you have gone a whoring after the heathen, and because you are polluted with their idols.
31 You [the elect remnant, who are awakened first] have walked in the way of your sister [God’s people at large]; therefore will I give her cup into your hand.
32 Thus says the LORD God; You shall drink of your sister’s cup deep [this deep understanding] and large: you shall be laughed to scorn and had in derision [hearing these words and not understanding they are My voice declaring the time]; it contains much.
33 You shall be filled with drunkenness [realizing all the world has become covered in darkness: ignorant of the LORD’s presence and way] and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
34 You shall even drink it and suck it out, and you shall break the sherds thereof, and pluck off your own breasts [the untrue things who were brought up believing and now teach]: for I have spoken it, says the LORD God.
35 Therefore thus says the LORD God; Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore bear you also your lewdness and your whoredoms.
36 The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man [I Am], will you judge Aholah [Samaria, whose corrupt houses are their own and not Mine] and Aholibah [Judah, the elect remnant, whose houses aren’t Mine]? yea, declare unto them their abominations [tow’ebah – that they created idols they call by My name and put them in My place in their corrupt houses];
37 That they have committed adultery, and blood [draining life away] is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to [hatefully doing the work of Satan] devour them.
Jeremiah 44
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews [Judah – the leaders of God’s people] which dwell in the land [‘erets] of Egypt [the earth in this double strait: oppressed by the corrupt institutions of church and state], which dwell at Migdol [this time then seen far off], and at Tahpanhes [the people the LORD pities and sends this word and work to], and at Noph [who’ve reached the coast, this promised and expected end], and in the country of Pathros [when this right interpretation comes], saying,
2 Thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war, I Am], the God of Israel [those who receive this promised end]; You have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem [His people who receive Him and become New Heavenly Jerusalem], and upon all the cities of Judah [the elect remnant who first receive Him]; and, behold, this day [now when this light has come] they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,
3 Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, you, nor your fathers.
4 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early [before all others] and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable [tow’ebah] thing that I hate.
5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.
6 Wherefore my fury and my anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.
7 Therefore now thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit you this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain [alive];
8 In that you provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt [the earth in this double strait], whither you be gone to dwell, that you might cut yourselves off [from Me], and that you might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10 They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
11 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face [paniym – My presence] against you for evil [letting you suffer in the consequences of your refusal], and to cut off all Judah [the current crop of corrupt leaders].
12 And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces [paniym – in whom My presence should be manifested] to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword [this word they refuse] and by the famine [without this word they refuse to receive and give as received]: they shall die [and all are dead without this word, by which man lives], from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
13 For I will punish [paqad – Come as the Chief Overseer of the earth, as I have] them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:
14 So that none of the remnant of Judah [the current crop of corrupt leaders, who choose to remain corrupt], which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain [or come to life], that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.
Jeremiah 47
6 O you sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere you be quiet? put up yourself into your scabbard, rest, and be still.
7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD has given it a charge against Ashkelon [the place of the trial, in the judgment fires], and against the sea shore [the end of man’s pride in his ideas, his creations]? there has he appointed it.
Jeremiah 48
25 The horn [the power] of Moab [of the gates of hell] is cut off, and his arm is broken, says the LORD.
26 Make you him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab [those who’ve created and maintain the gates of hell] also shall wallow in his vomit [‘qe], and he also shall be in derision.
27 For was not Israel a derision unto you? was he found among thieves? for since you spoke of him, you skipped for joy.
28 O you that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock [from where these life-giving waters flow], and be like the dove [Jonah] that makes her nest in the sides of the hole’s mouth.
29 We have heard the pride of Moab [the gates of hell], (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 I know his wrath, says the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.
John 8
43 Why do you not understand my speech? even because you cannot hear my word.
44 You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.
46 Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 He that is of God hears God’s words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and you do dishonor me.
50 And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.
51 Truly, truly, I say unto you, If a man keeps my saying, he shall never see death.
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keeps my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom make you yourself?
54 Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honors me; of whom you say, that he is your God:
55 Yet you have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
John 14
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them; even so the Son quickens whom he will.
22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honor not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Truly, truly, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.
33 You sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that you might be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.
37 And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he has sent, him you believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And you will not come to me, that you might have life.
41 I receive not honor from men.
42 But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father’s name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
44 How can you believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that comes from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust.
46 For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?
Deuteronomy 30
1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon you [as they now have], the blessing and the curse, which I have set before [paniym – manifesting My presence to] you, and you shall call [shuwb – return] them to [your] mind among all the nations [gowy – mixed among those who haven’t known Me or My way], whither the LORD your God has driven you [into this time when darkness covers the earth],
2 And shall return [shuwb] unto the LORD your God, and shall obey [shama’ – and hear] his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul;
3 That then the LORD your God will turn [shuwb] your captivity, and have compassion upon you, and will return [shuwb] and gather you [into My ONE BODY] from all the nations, whither the LORD your God has scattered you.
4 If any of your be driven out unto [darkness: ignorance of the LORD] the outmost parts [this coast, this promised and expected end] of heaven [the places where understand should be and isn’t], from thence will the LORD your God gather you, and from thence will he fetch you:
5 And the LORD your God will bring you into the land [‘erets – the earth] which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and he will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers.
6 And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart [remove the flesh from your mind, the veil that covers the LORD’s presence], and the heart of your seed, to love the LORD your God with all your heart [mind], and with all your soul, that you mayest live.
7 And the LORD your God will put all these curses upon your enemies, and on them that hate [sane’] you [seeking to destroy us], which persecuted you [radaph – like the Egyptians “pursued” Israel into the sea].
8 And you shall return [shuwb] and obey [shama’] the voice [qowl] of the LORD, and do all his commandments [return to this understanding and hear this voice as His] which I command you this day.
9 And the LORD your God will make you plenteous in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers:
10 If you shall hearken [shama’] unto the voice of the LORD your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law [His word here rightly interpreted by Him], and if you turn unto the LORD your God with all your heart [mind], and with all your soul.
11 For this commandment [to hear His voice and obey Him] which I command you this day, it is not hidden from you, neither is it far off [rachowq – it’s here and now, in this time when the world is ruled in darkness, ignorance of God and His way, created by the evil decrees of the wicked in power].
12 It is not in heaven [where understanding should be found and isn’t], that you shouldest say, Who shall go up [‘alah – from there rise] for us to heaven [into this understanding], and bring it unto us, that we may hear [shama’] it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond [‘eber – the other side of death] the sea [among all humanity], that you shouldest say, Who shall go over [‘abar – who shall pass over from death into life] the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear [shama’] it, and do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto you, in your mouth, and in your heart [mind], that you may do it [speaking this word as received, declaring it is His voice manifesting His presence].
15 See, I have set before you this day [this time when this light has returned] life and good, and death and evil;
16 In that I command you this day to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that you mayest live and multiply: and the LORD your God shall bless you in the land [‘erets – this earth] whither you go to possess it.
17 But if your heart turn away, so that you will not hear [shama’], but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods [men who put themselves in God’s place, and you obey them telling you not to hear and obey Him], and serve them [as your masters you hear and obey];
18 I denounce [nagad – I stand boldly opposing these men] unto you this day, that you shall surely perish [by following their advice], and that you shall not prolong your days upon the land [‘adamah – this generation I Am creating], whither you pass over [‘abar – from death into life by this good advice] Jordan [the word of these men, their advice, that carried all humanity in the descent into darkness and death] to go to possess it.
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live:
20 That you may love the LORD your God, and that you may obey [shama’] his voice [qowl], and that you may cleave unto him: for he is your life, and the length of your days: that you may dwell in the land [‘adamah – this first generation of My new creation] which the LORD swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them [who heard My voice and obeyed].
Friends, I want the following to be perfectly clear and understood. This word is the LORD present with us until He is received and given, by which He manifests His presence in us. I am a nobody and choose to remain one. I seek no credit or anything in return. With sincerity, I say, “For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which tries our hearts.”
Proverbs 16
19 Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that handles a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusts in the LORD, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increase learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that has it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that labors labors for himself; for his mouth craves it of him.
27 An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A froward man [with twisted and perverted truth] sows strife: and a whisperer [niygan – talebearers, misleaders in the garden] separates chief friends.
29 A violent man entices his neighbor, and leads him into the way that is not good.
30 He shut his eyes to devise froward [twisted and perverted] things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap [decision points come]; but the whole disposing [mishpat – this judgment] thereof is of the LORD.
Jeremiah 4
1 If you will return [shuwb], O Israel, says the LORD, return [shuwb] unto me: and if you will put away your abominations [shiqquwts – that caused your desolation] out of my sight, then shall you not [be] remove[d from the new generation I Am creating].
2 And you shall swear [shaba’ – meaning “to seven oneself, i.e. swear (as if by repeating a declaration seven times)”], The LORD lives, in truth, in judgment [mishpat], and in righteousness; and the nations [gowy] shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
3 For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up [niyr] your fallow ground [niyr], and sow not among thorns [misleaders who have overgrown the garden].
4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart [the veil of falsehoods that blind your minds], you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
5 Declare you in Judah [to the current crop of corrupt leaders], and publish in Jerusalem [the corrupted people at large]; and say, Blow you the trumpet in the land [‘erets – the earth]: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves [into My ONE BODY], and let us go into the defenced cities.
6 Set up [nasa’ – lift] the standard [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted] toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north [the darkness], and a great destruction.
7 The lion [the second face of the unfolding presence of the LORD, His voice roaring] is come up from [‘alah – is raised against] his thicket [the place of thorns and briers: misleaders and deceivers], and the destroyer of the Gentiles [gowy] is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make your land [‘erets] desolate [the old and corrupt earth now in ruin]; and your cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant [living].
8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day [this time of light], says the LORD, that the heart [corrupt mind] of the king shall perish, and the heart [corrupt minds] of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished [stupefied, without any understanding of what they are experiencing], and the prophets [because of the false prophecies] shall wonder [at the event they never expected or saw].
10 Then said I, Ah, LORD God! surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, You shall have peace; whereas the sword [this word of God they refuse] reaches unto the soul.
Hosea 10
2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up [niyr] your fallow ground [niyr]: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness [this word] upon you.
13 You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men [gibbowr – tyrants in power].
Hosea 11
3 I taught Ephraim [the last generation of My people, who become the first generation of My new creation] also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat [this deep understanding] unto them.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of you: and I will not enter into the city.
10 They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west [those to whom this light has shined and lighted upon].
Psalms 107
1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endures forever.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with [His] goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High:
12 Therefore, he brought down their heart [minds] with labor; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness [ignorance] and the shadow of death, and brake their bands [mowcer] in sunder. [Job 39:5 Who has sent out the wild ass {His lowly people with and in whom He comes} free {by His truth}? or who has loosed the bands {mowcer} of the wild ass {His lowly people with and in whom He comes}?].
15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For he has broken the [hell’s] gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17 Fools, because of their transgression and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhors all manner of meat [of this deep understanding]; and they draw near unto [men whose mouths are] the gates of death.
19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships [the institutions of church and state government], that do business in great waters [giving their evil advice and corrupting the world];
24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep [this deep understanding].
25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves thereof [the men whose pride in their opinions makes them intransigent].
26 They mount up to the heaven [saying their opinions are truth], they go down again to the depths [where understanding is darkened]: their soul is melted because of trouble [in the fires of confusion their open mouths cause].
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end.
28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof [the twisted and perverted opinions of the proud] are still.
30 Then are they glad because they be quiet [shathaq – are silenced]; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven [machowz – only used here, meaning “meaning to enclose; a harbor (as shut in by the shore)”].
31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 He turns rivers [of these men’s word] into a wilderness, and the water-springs [from where death flows] into dry ground;
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He turns the wilderness into a standing water [the LORD’s word exalted above all other voices], and dry ground into water-springs [flowing His life-giving word].
36 And there he maketh the hungry [for truth and understanding] to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation [this new heaven and earth where He dwells with us, in us];
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield [good] fruits of increase.
38 He blesses them [Ephraim – now a double blessing] also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffers not their cattle to decrease.
39 Again, [if] they are minish and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40 He pours contempt upon princes, and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41 Yet sets he the poor [without worldly power] on high from affliction, and makes him families [His family, His ONE BODY] like a flock.
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Whoso is wise and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
