Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
Friends, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. I tell you the Truth: we are in just as precarious a position as we were, if not greater, with Iran and her allies. Every enemy we have will use the cover of Iran to attack us and will escalate their support for Iran in its war against us. They will here at home support and foment division between those who saw this effect as inevitable and those who ignored it. Those protecting our leaders should be on a heightened watch: (obviously) President Trump and His inner circle specifically, from threats domestic (the deep state) and foreign.
This action, following apostate Israel’s (the zealots’ in the so-called evangelical movement) and Judah’s (the Jews) ignorant interpretations and manipulation, has set the course for the destruction of this nation. And they (unwittingly) walked US right into it. They (the known enemies of the cross of Christ) demonize any saying such things and will, thereby, together with known enemies, complete what they (the known enemies foreign and domestic) couldn’t do without them (the still flesh-minded Christians and Jews).
In the title verse, where the LORD began today, Jeremiah 6:25, the word rendered fear is magowr, meaning “or (Lamentation 2:22) maguwr {maw-goor’}; from 1481 in the sense of fearing; a fright (objective or subjective):–fear, terror.”
Thus says the LORD:
Jeremiah 6
26 O daughter of my people, gird you with sackcloth, and wallow yourself in ashes: make you mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly [pith’own] come upon us.
27 I have set you for a tower and a fortress among my people, that you may know and try their way [but they would not hear or obey].
28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron [strong and formed by the world]; they are all corrupters.
29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melts in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away [they are not purified of their slander or corruption].
30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD has rejected them.
The word, in verse 29, rendered “plucked away,” is the nathaq, speaking of wickedness not taken away in the fires these corrupters’ ways have caused, which is further defined in the words earlier used in Jeremiah 2:20 & 5:5.
Jeremiah 2
19 Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backslidings [again into wickedness] shall reprove you: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that you have forsaken the LORD your God, and that my fear is not in you, says the LORD God of hosts.
20 For of old time I have broken your yoke [of the misleaders you were joined with in thought and deed], and burst your bands [nathaq – the wickedness possessing you]; and you said, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree you wandered, playing the harlot.
21 Yet I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then are you [Christians and Jews] turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?
22 For though you wash you with nitre, and take you much soap, yet your iniquity is marked [in your head and hand, your thoughts and works against me] before me [paniym – in My presence you refuse], says the LORD God.
Jeremiah 5
1 Run you to and fro [seeking] through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if you can find a man, if there be any that executes judgment, that seeks the Truth; and I will pardon it.
2 And though they say, The LORD lives; surely they swear falsely [taking My name in vain as they pray to their idols they put in My place].
3 O LORD, are not your eyes upon the Truth? you have stricken them, but they have not grieved; you have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor [without worldly power, refusing My treasures, lacking understanding]; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
5 I will get me unto the great men [who should know My ways], and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds [nathaq – forgotten that I freed them from the same wickedness that now again possessed them].
6 Wherefore a lion [falsely saying they are speaking for the LORD] out of the forest [falsely so called upright men] shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings [enemies among them scattering them away from My flock] shall spoil them, a leopard [those who cannot change their ways] shall watch over their cities: every one that goes out [away from Me] thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7 How shall I pardon you for this [rejecting correction]? your children have forsaken me, and sworn by them [men they follow, in whom they put their trust, and are, thereby, self-cursed] that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full [with My word, this feast], they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses [whose ways are the way into death and hell].
8 They were as fed horses in the morning [fed when this light has come]: every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife [to entice others into their same old corruption].
9 Shall I not visit [paqad – manifest My presence as Chief Shepherd and Overseer] for these things? says the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation [My people who refuse to know Me] as this?
10 Go you up upon her walls [as a standard, the nec upon which the son of man must be lifted, on the wall of Babylon], and destroy; but make not a full end [kalah]: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’s.
11 For the house of Israel [Christians] and the house of Judah [Jews] have dealt very treacherously against me, says the LORD.
12 They have belied [kachash – been untrue, denied, and refused to submit to] the LORD, and said, It is not He; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine [both speaking of this word they reject]:
13 And the prophets shall become wind [false doctrines that carry them away], and the word [of the LORD] is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
14 Wherefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, Because you speak this word [of corruption against Me], behold [when you see], I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them [corrupt men who choose to remain in their corruption, whose thoughts and works against the Truth are the evil that marks them].
Friends, the misleaders are those, knowing or not, who claim they are lights, but the understanding in them is deep darkness and the shadow (blocking the light) of death.
2 Corinthians 11
13 For such are false apostles [saying they are followers of Christ], deceitful workers, transforming [metaschematizo] themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed [metaschematizo] into an angel of light.
15 Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed [metaschematizo] as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their [evil, misleading, slandering good] works.
Psalms 81
11 But my people would not hearken to [shama’ – obey] my voice; and Israel would none [lo’] of me. [Which is why He calls them Lo’ammiy {Loammi}: not My people.]
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened [shama’ – obeyed] unto me, and Israel [Christians and Jews] had walked in my ways!
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies [far and near], and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15 The haters of the LORD would have submitted [kachash] themselves unto him: but their time would have endured forever.
16 He would have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey [strength – order found in subordination] out of the rock [I Am] should I have satisfied you.
1 John 2
14 I have written unto you, fathers [whom the LORD first awakened], because you have known him that is from the beginning [the word in us, made flesh]. I have written unto you, young men [here and now born again by receiving His mind], because you are strong [have understanding], and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
15 Love [agapao – give] not the [corrupt words of] world, neither the things [of confusion – Babylon] that are in the world. If any man love [agapao – gives the corrupt words of] the world [misleading by corruption and confusion], the love [agape – leading into all Truth, by this word He has given us to give as received] of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the [old and corrupt] world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides forever.
18 Little children, it is the last time [eschatos hora – final hour]: and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists [enemies of the cross of Christ]; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they [false apostles] were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But you have an unction [chrisma – an anointing] from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because you know not the Truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the Truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh of those He chooses] is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son [in whom the Father manifests His presence].
23 Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: he that acknowledges [homologeo – which the same words confesses] the Son has the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning [by the word made flesh]. If that which you have heard [the light: this understanding] from the beginning shall remain [meno] in you, you also shall continue [meno – remain] in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written [grapho – written to be sent in this wheel within a wheel] unto you concerning them that seduce [planao – planets, false stars misleading those who follow them in the darkness] you.
27 But the anointing [chrisma – this gift of the Father’s mind poured into your heads] which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear [phaneroo – becomes apparent to you], we may have confidence [parrhesia – meaning to open our mouths with “all out-spokenness, i.e. frankness, bluntness, publicity; by implication, assurance”], and not be ashamed before him [in His presence] at his coming.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one that does righteousness is born of him.
So, the haters will hate, based on their own perverted and misleading creations in the LORD’s name, and will say that I Am saying these men (all now held in wickedness) must and have come to a full end (kalah). But, as above in Psalms 81:15, the LORD says if they subordinate their corrupt thinking to His mind, as prodigals returned, and, in Jeremiah 5:10 (by which I Am willingly bound), I will not (of them) make a full end (kalah).
Ezekiel 33
1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword [this word all at first refuse] upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman [tsaphah – an overseer and shepherd to, from Me, show them things hidden but that are coming]:
3 If when he sees the sword come upon the land [‘erets – the earth], he blows the trumpet [opens His mouth declaring, confessing, it is the LORD coming], and warns the people;
4 Then whosoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword comes, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet [this voice of His archangel], and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that takes warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman [tsaphah – the revealer of things hidden] sees the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword comes, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in [by] his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s [tsaphah] hand.
7 So you, O son of man, I have set you a watchman [tsaphah] unto the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die; if you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
10 Therefore, O you son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus you speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away [maqaq – a key-word we have often here discussed] in them, how should we then live?
11 Say unto them, As I live, says the LORD God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
12 Therefore, you son of man, say unto the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sins.
13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trusts to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he has committed, he shall die for it.
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turns from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 None of his sins that he has committed shall be mentioned unto him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17 Yet the children of your people say, The way of the LORD is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. [Remember Leviticus 24:16, saying “And he that blasphemes {naqab – pierces; vilifies} the name {defining character: work and word: manner} of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death {muwth}, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him {with this word that flows from you, doing Him good, which are as coals of fire upon his head}: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemes {naqab} the name {identity} of the LORD, shall be put to death {muwth}.” And Numbers 15:29, saying “You shall have one law for him that sins through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourns among them.”]
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 Yet you say, The way of the LORD is not equal. O you house of Israel, I will judge you everyone after his ways.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year [representing governmental perfection] of our captivity, in the tenth month [ordinal perfection], in the fifth day [God’s grace] of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
22 Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening [when ignorance was still the cover of the earth], afore [paniym – before the presence of the LORD was realized as the One speaking and working to save those who heard and heeded His warning] he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth [warning the wicked and the self-righteous], until he came to me in the morning [when this light, this understanding, was come]; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
23 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land?
26 You stand upon your sword, you work abomination, and you defile every one his neighbor’s wife: and shall you possess the land?
27 Say you thus unto them, Thus says the LORD God; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword [this warning they refuse], and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts [those without My good counsel, without My Spirit in them] to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence [the disease in what they prescribe].
28 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains [their corrupt leaders in church and state] of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
29 Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed [and still they refuse].
30 Also, you son of man, the children of your people still are talking against you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from the LORD.
31 And they come unto you as the people comes, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their covetousness [betsa’ – the “gain” that should be devoted to the LORD – see Micah 4:13].
32 And, lo, you are unto them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear your words, but they do them not.
33 And when this comes to pass, (lo, it will [has] come,) then shall they know that a prophet has been among them.
2 Samuel 22
1 And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence [chamac].
4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented [were set before] me;
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings [kanaph] of the wind [the voice of His Spirit moving].
12 And he made darkness [ignorance of Him] pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning [His understanding], and discomfited them.
16 And the channels of the sea [His word flowing to His people] appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters [the confused language of this time when insanity rules];
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
27 With the pure you will show yourself pure [barar]; and with the froward [those twisting and perverting truth] you will show yourself unsavory.
28 And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bring them down.
29 For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten [give understanding to] my darkness [of the things of which I am ignorant].
30 For by you I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall [of lies upon lies].
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to [magen – the shield covering] all them that trust in him.
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33 God is my strength and power [chayil]: and he makes my way perfect.
34 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet: and sets me upon my high places [bamah].
35 He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness [‘anavah – humility] has made me great.
37 You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 For you have girded me with strength [chayil] to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
41 You have also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45 Strangers shall submit [kachash – shall be found liars] themselves unto me [warned, realizing they’ve been deceived and are spreading deception that destroys others and will destroy them]: [they will believe] as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46 Strangers shall fade away [for all shall know the LORD], and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock [from whom this living water flows]; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation [His voice above all others].
48 It is God that avenges me, and that brings down the people under me.
49 And that brings me forth from my enemies: you also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man [chamac].
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto your name.
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed forevermore.
Proverbs 27
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may [through you] answer him that reproaches me.
12 A prudent man foresees the evil, and hides himself [before He is snared in it]; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14 He that blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman [never satisfied] are alike.
16 Whosoever hides her hides the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which betrays itself.
17 Iron [barzel] sharpens iron [barzel – others who will rightly separate corruption from the pure, making things clearly seen]; so a man sharpens the countenance of [paniym – the LORD’s presence manifested to and then in] his friend [in this way].
18 Whoso keeps the fig tree [guards and protects God’s people from corruption] shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waits on his master [the LORD God] shall be honored.
19 As in water face [paniym – in the word of God His presence is seen] answers to face [paniym – and in hearing His word from us His presence is seen identically], so the heart [mind] of [enlightened] man to [enlighten other enlightened] man.
20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied [never saying it is enough, now we see Him and will purge out corruption].
21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; [to separate corruption from the pure] so is a man to his praise.
22 Though you shouldest bray [mix] a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not [without purging his corruption from the pure] his foolishness depart from him.
23 Be you diligent to know the state of your flocks [to see if there is corruption defiling what must be pure], and look [make] well to your herds [by purging corrupt as we must].
24 For riches are not forever [all truly valuable understanding tends toward corruption over time]: and does the crown [just rule] endure to every generation?
2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, He that rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
4 And he shall be as the light of the morning [the understanding that brings this new day], when the sun rises [the LORD’s ONE BODY, The Church], even a morning [a new day] without clouds [when understanding is on the earth, as it is in heaven]; as the tender grass springing [new life from earth, as on the third day of creation] out of the earth by clear shining [air cleared of the smoke that came from the bottomless pit, by the understanding sent forth from the LORD] after rain [His living water sent from heaven].
5 Although my house be not [yet] so with God; yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow [until now at this promised end, tribulation from which we are delivered].
6 But the sons of Belial [who worship the idols that have corrupted heaven and earth] shall be all of them as thorns [misleaders] thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
7 But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron [barzel] and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.
Lamentations 2
1 How has the LORD covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud [removing understanding from the earth] in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
2 The LORD has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied: he has thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he has brought them down to the ground: he has polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
3 He has cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he has drawn back his right hand [His power and work] from before [paniym – of His presence against] the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours round about.
4 He has bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
5 The LORD was as an enemy: he has swallowed up Israel, he has swallowed up all her palaces: he has destroyed his strong holds, and has increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
6 And he has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he has destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD has caused the solemn feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and has despised in the indignation [za’am] of his anger the king and the priest.
7 The LORD has cast off his altar, he has abhorred his sanctuary, he has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.
8 The LORD has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he has stretched out a line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 My eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine [where is the teaching that gives knowledge, wisdom, and understanding]? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
13 What thing shall I take to witness for you? what thing shall I liken to you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to you, that I may comfort you [lead you into truth], O virgin daughter of Zion? for your breach is great like the sea: who can heal you?
14 Your prophets have seen vain and foolish things for you: and they have not discovered your iniquity [as do God’s true and faithful prophets], to turn away your captivity; but have seen for you false burdens and causes of banishment.
15 All that pass by clap their hands at you; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
16 All your enemies have opened their mouth against you: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
17 The LORD has done that which he had devised; he has fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he has thrown down, and has not pitied: and he has caused your enemy to rejoice over you, he has set up the horn [the power] of your adversaries.
18 Their heart cried unto the LORD, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give yourself no rest; let not the apple of your eye [His pupils He’s taught to see as He sees] cease.
19 Arise, cry out in the night [now when darkness covers the earth]: in the beginning of the watches pour out your heart [His mind] like water before the face [paniym – manifesting the presence] of the LORD: lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger [without His word heard] in the top of every street.
20 Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom you have done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the LORD?
21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword [this word they refuse]; you have slain them in the day of your anger; you have killed, and not pitied [Loruhamah – meaning not pitied; see Hosea 1:6, the daughter of Hosea and Gomer his harlot wife].
22 You have called as in a solemn day my terrors [maguwn] round about, so that in the day of the LORD’s anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up has my enemy consumed.
Men will says, “Why has the LORD caused this and not prevented it?” These are the ignorant questions meant only to cause an endless agitation, the continued argument against those the LORD has sent as His answer. His prophets are the preventive measure and the intervention, both of which are ignored by men who sit in seats of power, the leading sources of the troubles, only wanting to keep and gain more power, feckless men who never solve anything.
2 Peter 2
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever.
18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, [and like the swept house] the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. [Matthew 12:45 Then goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits {the old and corrupt ways of the God’s people} more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation {as it is}.]
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Jeremiah 4
1 If you will return, O Israel, says the LORD, return unto me: and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight, then shall you not remove [nuwd – shall not wander in the wilderness any longer].
2 And you shall swear, The LORD lives, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations [those who haven’t known Him] shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
3 For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah [the leaders of God’s people] and Jerusalem [His people at large], Break up your fallow ground [niyr – hardened without this word from heaven], and sow not among thorns [misleaders speaking their own words].
4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart [the flesh covering your mind and keeping you from seeing the LORD present with us, in us], 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, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow you the trumpet in the land [‘erets – the earth, declaring it is the time when the LORD’s presence is revealed in His word heard from us]: cry, gather together [with Him into His ONE BODY], and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defensed cities [in His presence].
6 Set up the standard [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted, as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness] toward Zion [where the LORD reigns over the earth through His people in whom He dwells]: retire, stay not [in the old and corrupt world]: for I will bring evil from the north [revealing the ignorance of the old], and a great destruction [that the wicked in power have wrought].
7 The lion [roaring as if they are gods] is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles [those who haven’t known the LORD] is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make your land [‘erets -the old earth] desolate; and your cities shall be laid waste [as they are], without an inhabitant [without any living man].
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, says the LORD, that the heart [sound mind] of the king [the communists now in power in church and state] shall perish, and the heart [minds] of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished [without any understanding of this moment of the LORD’s manifested presence], and the prophets shall wonder [what they experiencing].
10 Then said I, Ah, LORD God! surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, [by their false prophets] saying, You shall have peace; whereas the sword [this word they refuse] reaches unto the soul.
11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places [the words of men power] in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
12 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me [ending the old heaven and earth]: now also will I give sentence against them [that all but the very few elect remnant are dead and here in hell].
13 Behold, he [I Am] shall come up as clouds [the full understanding that left the earth], and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind [the LORD’s Almighty Spirit, from where His voice is heard]: his horses are swifter than eagles [the final face of the LORD’s unfolding presence manifested in the wheel within a wheel]. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled [without any understanding].
14 O Jerusalem, wash [with these waters from heaven] your heart [minds] from wickedness [that blinds you], that you mayest be saved. How long shall your vain [worthless] thoughts lodge within you?
15 For a voice [of the LORD from a man] declares from Dan [this judgment], and publishes [shama’ – is heard and obeyed] affliction from [in this time of tribulation] mount Ephraim [to the leader of God’s people in this last generation, which will become the first of the new].
16 Make you mention to [zakar – remember the LORD] the nations [all who haven’t known Him]; behold, publish [shama’ – hear and obey His voice] against Jerusalem, that watchers [natsar – who as watchmen guard and protect God’s people] come from a far country [merchaq – as the LORD decreed], and give out their voice against the [ruined] cities of Judah.
17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she has been rebellious against me, says the LORD.
18 Your way and your doings have procured these things [the end, desolation, of the old heaven and earth] unto you; this is your wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reaches unto your heart [your corrupted and ignorant minds].
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart [mind]; my heart [mind] make a noise [of war] in me; I cannot hold my peace, because you have heard [shama’ – and obeyed], O my soul, the sound of the trumpet [calling all to gather to the present LORD], the alarm of war.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land [‘erets – earth] is spoiled: suddenly [pith’own] are my tents spoiled, and my curtains [that keep the winds of false doctrine out of the dwelling place] in a moment.
21 How long shall I see the standard [nec – the son of man lifted, that the LORD’s voice heard from him is exalted above all other voices], and hear [shama’ – and I Am obedient to] the sound of the trumpet [that called me to gather to Him in ONE BODY]?
22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish [foolishly rebellious] children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23 I beheld [seeing as the LORD sees] the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void [tohuw bohuw; one of three times these words appears together; the same as Genesis 1:2, the condition the earth had become before the new creation and the return of light; and Isaiah 34:11 rendered “confusion” and “emptiness,” speaking of the earth’s foundation and what is built upon it]; and the heavens [where understanding should be found], and they had no light [no understanding].
24 I beheld the mountains [the governments of church and state], and, lo, they trembled [ra’ash – this voice shaking them and bringing the dead bones of the body of Christ together and from death into life], and all the hills moved lightly [were realized to be of little value].
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no [living] man, and all the birds of the heavens [that were lifted there by the LORD’s understanding] were fled.
26 I beheld [I saw by the LORD’s eyes that which all men are blind to], and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
27 For thus has the LORD said, The whole land [‘erets – the whole earth] shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end [kalah].
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black [without understanding]; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent [not change My mind about it], neither will I turn back from it.
29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of [qowl – this voice of the LORD from] the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets [against the misleaders and deceivers], and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a [living] man dwells therein [Babylon – the confusion that now rules over the darkened world].
30 And when you are spoiled, what will you [harlot Christians and Jews] do? Though you clothe yourself with crimson, though you deck you with ornaments of gold, though you rent your face with painting, in vain shall you make yourself fair; your lovers will despise you, they will seek your life.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child [the ONE BODY of Christ into this new creation], the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewails herself, that spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers [who have made all the world dead, needing to be born again into life].
Jeremiah 31
17 And there is hope in your end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness], says the LORD, that your children shall come again to their own border [the beginning of this new earth].
18 I have surely heard Ephraim [God’s people in this generation, meaning both heap of double ruin and heap of double blessing, “double” referring to the dead here raised to life, as the children of Joseph: the one separated from his brethren until he is revealed as the king of their salvation] bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore, my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, says the LORD.
21 Set you up waymarks, make you high heaps: set your heart toward the highway, even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
22 How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass [cabab – be led by and gather around; referring us to its use in Deuteronomy 32:10] a man.
Deuteronomy 32
10 He [the LORD] found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about [cabab], he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye [His pupils He’s taught to see as He sees].
11 As an eagle [the final face of the unfolding presence of the LORD] stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings [the words that are the strength by which we rise into the heavens: full understanding of His presence to which we are joined]:
12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
Hosea 1
7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah [the elect remnant], and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah [people upon who none have shown mercy], she conceived, and bare a son.
9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi [not called God’s people]: for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, You are the sons of the living God.
11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel [when I separate them from all the people of the earth, and sow them into the earth as My people].
Psalms 118
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endures forever.
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endures forever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endures forever.
4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endures forever.
5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13 You have thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly [chayil].
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly [chayil].
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18 The LORD has chastened me sore: but he has not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise you: for you have heard me, and are become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the headstone of the corner.
23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in [opening] our eyes.
24 This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now [Hosanna], I beseech you, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech you, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
27 God is the LORD, which has shown us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will praise you: you are my God, I will exalt you.
29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures forever.
