According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, will I show unto him marvelous things.

25 – 28 July 2025


According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, will I show unto him marvelous things.

The word in the above verse, Micah 7:15, rendered “marvelous things,” is pala’, said to be “a primitive root; properly, perhaps to separate, i.e. distinguish (literally or figuratively); by implication, to be (causatively, make) great, difficult [see “hard to be understood” in 2 Peter 3:16 below], wonderful.”

It (pala’) is the combination of the particle, pa, from pa’ar, meaning to explain or make clear; and the word lo’, meaning not; therefore, meaning the LORD will show us things not explained, or not made clear.

The word rendered “show unto him” is ra’ah, meaning to see (what is present but unclear, because of the smoke that comes from the bottomless-pit: the endless fall away from the LORD and His truth, into blindness – by the smoke that darkened the air and the church: the sun – air which the voice of the LORD clears at His appearing and kingdom come). 

The following, ending with Hebrew 2, is from the post of 4 July 2025.

Romans 11
25 For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles [who don’t know God] be come in.
26 And so all Israel [the LORD’s people, who have a zeal for Him, but without knowledge of Him, which is manifested in His judgment and mercy] shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness [asebeia] from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as you [the elect remnant] in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief [that through you He shall show His mercy in judgment]:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God has concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who has known the mind of the LORD? or who has been his counselor?
35 Or who has first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen.

The one other time the word aschemosune appears, in Revelation 16:15, it is describing it as the “shame” of the (famous) false prophets, seen when the LORD comes, as He has, unknown, without fame (without reputation) in the darkness (men’s ignorance). 

Revelation 16
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates [words that were a blessing now turned to confusion and mass insanity]; and the water thereof was dried up [and what was hidden below its surface is revealed, like frogs uncovered], that the way of the kings of the east [the appointed time of light returning] might be prepared.
13 And I saw [what was before hidden below the surface of their words] three unclean spirits like frogs come [as corrupt words] out of the mouth of the dragon [those devouring men with the open mouths], and [as words] out of the mouth of the beast [animated dead flesh without the LORD’s Spirit], and [as words] out of the mouth of the false prophet [revealing their shame].
14 For they are the spirits of devils [misleaders], working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I [have] come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments [the LORD’s righteousness, which protects the mind from the corrupt elements of the world], lest he walk naked, and they see his shame [aschemosune – see that they are not in the form of the LORD].
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon [the place of the rendezvous, this appointed time].
17 And the seventh angel [the final messenger, I Am] poured out his vial into the air [to clear it of the blinding smoke that came from the bottomless pit, the endless falling away – see Revelation 9:1 – 4]; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done [ginomai – it is “generated” apparent].
18 And there were [ginomai – apparent] voices [of understanding heard], and thunders [the sound of light, understanding heard from the cloud], and lightnings [understanding seen from the cloud]; and there was [ginomai – apparent] a great earthquake [shaking the world, to shake the wicked from it], such as was [ginomai – apparent] not since men were [ginomai – appeared] upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided [ginomai – was apparent to be] into three parts [under the complete influence of the dragons, the beasts, and the false prophets], and the cities of the nations fell [in the same manner as did the tower of Babel]: and great Babylon [the confusion caused by the three, who have ruled the world into complete insanity and ruin] came in remembrance before [enopion – to us from the presence of] God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island [dry places that have been without this word of God] fled away, and the mountains [the corrupt governments of church and state] were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail [this word reserved for this time, frozen in the cloud and sent] out of heaven [against the current crop of corrupt leaders] every stone about the weight of a talent [these gifts the LORD has given to us]: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

The word rendered “remembrance” in verse 19 above, the word mnaomai, telling of what understanding comes from the LORD’s manifested presence, only used this once in Revelation, is described in the two uses before: rendered “remember” in Jude 1:17, and before in 2 Peter 3:2 rendered “that you may be mindful.” What He brings to remembrance is His word spoken by the true prophets, against the words of mockers now falsely speaking in His name as they blaspheme Him.

2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily [secretly, from their own imaginations, create lies] shall bring in damnable [apoleia – that cause them and those who follow their ways to perish] heresies, even denying the LORD that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction [apoleia – perdition].
2 And many shall follow their pernicious [apoleia – the ways that lead to their own destruction] ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of [as it is this day].
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned [fraudulent] words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation [apoleia – perishing, perdition] slumbers not [because they are awakened “to shame and everlasting contempt”].

2 Peter 3 
1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds [dianoia] by way of remembrance:
2 That you may be mindful [mnaomai] of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the LORD and Savior:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall [have] come in the last days scoffers [not believing the LORD is present with us, in us], walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep [into death], all things continue as they were from the beginning of the [old] creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God [this same word of God] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved [for this appointed time of the LORD’s just war against the darkness] unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly [asebes] men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is [always with us, hidden only in men’s ignorance] longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men] shall melt with fervent heat, the [old corrupt] earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “diverse” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding all these diverse elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?

As we have seen, the “air” in Revelation 16:17 above, and Revelation 9:2, is the seven times used Greek word aer, the same word used in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, telling us it is where we meet (join) with the LORD (after He has cleared it of the smoke).

The word pa’ar (#6286, in the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary) is said to mean, “to gleam, i.e. (causatively) embellish; figuratively, to boast; also to explain (i.e. make clear) oneself; denominative from 6288, to shake a tree:–beautify, boast self, go over the boughs, glorify (self), glory, vaunt self.”

It has affinity to pa’ah, meaning to “blow away,” as in the method of removing the smoke. It (pa’ar) is most often used to tell of the LORD’s glory and beauty (His manifested presence) seen (made clear) by and in those in whom He dwells.

The first use of pa’ar comes in Exodus 8:9, with allusion to Revelation 16:13 above [the infestation of frogs: unclean spirits], and the title verse, both not clear until now when the LORD gives them full understanding (by the voice of His archangel, as the sound of the trumpet, pulling us (hapazo – “caught up”) from the fires of confusion to himself here in heaven: full understanding). 

Just a reminder before going on: the Hebrew word rendered heaven (where we are forever with the LORD, once we join with Him there) is shamayim, which combines the word shama’ (hear and obey) and mayim (water: His word), meaning it is the state of mind that comes by hearing and obeying the word that come from the LORD. 

Exodus 8 
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh [the great houses of our time, institutions of church and state], and say unto him, Thus says the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 And if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your borders with frogs [unclean spirits coming from the mouth of men – Obama and His embedded army of liars and deceivers]:
3 And the river [the mean by which these word flow into the people at large] shall bring forth frogs abundantly [corrupting everything in society], which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and upon your bed, and into the house of your servants, and upon your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading-troughs:
4 And the frogs shall come up both on you, and upon your people, and upon all your servants.
5 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt [as they have].
7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments [all their lies, deceptions, and false accusations, HOAX after HOAX, as spells controlling the world], and brought up frogs upon the land [‘erets] of Egypt [the earth in this double strait: oppressed by these means].
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron [those protected from the water wherein these frog were formed, and those now bringing light against the darkness], and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory [pa’ar] over me [when these things become clear and you understand it is the LORD’s presence in me speaking and working]: when shall I intreat for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs [the unclean spirits coming from the mouth of these destroyers] from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only [the places where they were formed]?
10 And he said, Tomorrow [machar – meaning what {mah} after {‘achar}? Telling of this ‘achariyth – the after now come, in these last days of darkness]. And he said, Be it according [alluding to the title verse] to your word [the LORD’s word, His good Spirit coming from our mouths, speaking things not made clear until now]: that you mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.
11 And [when His word is heard and obeyed] the frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; they shall remain in the river only.

The only time (of fourteen appearances) the word pa’ar appears in the Psalms is definitively in Psalms 149:4.

Psalms 149 
1 Praise you the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify [pa’ar – He will make His presence clearly known with and in] the meek with salvation [yshuw’ah – with His perpetual son Jesus: Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh].
5 Let the saints be joyful [realizing His presence] in [His] glory: let them sing aloud [opening their mouth, repeating His word as received] upon their beds [where they have slept waiting for this moment].
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword [this word of God] in their hand [doing the work of the Father];
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written [in His word]: this honor have all his saints. Praise you the LORD.

The word machar (Exodus 8:10 above), referring to this time, first appears in Genesis 30:33, where it is speaking of the time “to come” when Jacob received his wages (“hire”) for the fourteen years he worked for Laban.

Genesis 30
32 I will pass through [‘abar – in this time when My flock is raised from death into life] all your flock to day [to assess, inspect their state, to determine if they are in the form of the LORD or the world], removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire [sakar].
33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire [sakar] before your face [paniym – when the presence of the LORD is clearly seen in His children]: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen [ganab – as if taken by a thief, as in Revelation 16:15 above] with me [and I in them].
34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to your word [as said above].

The first time sakar appears is in Genesis 15:1 where the LORD speaks to Abram (Abraham), saying “After [‘achar] these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I Am your shield [magen – buckler], and your exceeding great reward [sakar].”

As we know, this chapter goes on to record the covenant the LORD made with Abram, and of (the after of) his children (which, when repeated in Genesis 22, verse 17 tells us it is when we will possess, yarash, the gates of the enemies). It also describes the time between then and now, a time of deep sleep of all God’s people who are depicted as cattle, sheep (rams), and goats, all separated, and of a Lamp in their midst (the LORD unknown, always with us, guiding us through the darkness).

Genesis 15
5 And he brought him forth abroad [as in verse 7], and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell [caphar] the stars, if you be able to number [caphar] them: and he said unto him, So shall your seed be [innumerable].
6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees [the fires caused by those using their words as spells to manipulate and control all that follow them in the descent into confusion, delusion, and insanity, here in death in hell] to give you this land [‘erets – the earth] to inherit it.
8 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9 And he said unto him, Take me a heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds [those in the places where understanding should be found, thinking they have understanding and know the times and seasons] divided he not.
11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcasses [the LORD’s one body, throughout time, apart and asleep], Abram drove them away [nashab – only used elsewhere in Psalms 147:18 and Isaiah 40:7].
12 And when the sun was going down [when understanding left the LORD’s body], a deep sleep [tardemah] fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror [‘eymah] of great [gadowl] darkness [confusion and ignorance] fell upon him.
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that your seed shall be a stranger [ger – oppressed as in Egypt] in a land [‘erets – this old and totally corrupt earth possessed by Satan] that is not theirs, and shall serve [‘abad] them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve [‘abad], will I judge: and afterward [‘achar – in these last days] shall they come out with great [gadowl] substance [these treasures of heaven, reserved by the LORD for this time of war and victory over death and hell].
15 And you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good [when the LORD’s is again joined with His ONE BODY] old age.
16 But in the fourth generation [the time of this fourth river, Euphrates, flowing from Eden] they shall come hither again [shuwb – when the LORD’s people return to Him, understand again and rise from death into life]: for the iniquity of the Amorites [the sayers – those exalting their words above the LORD’s word] is not yet full [shalem – not yet fully understood].
17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down [and understanding left the earth], and it was dark [and ignorance of the LORD’s presence covered the earth], behold [the earth was] a smoking furnace, and a burning [‘esh] lamp [the LORD among His people guiding them in the darkness] that passed [‘abar – to bring us from death into life] between those pieces [His body apart].
18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto your seed have I given this land [‘erets – this earth], from the river of Egypt [mitsrayim – double strait, words narrowing the entryway, which must be carefully navigated and avoided to enter] unto the great [gadowl] river [flowing these treasures of heaven], the river Euphrates [fruitfulness, this double blessing upon Ephraim, the LORD’s people in the first generation of His new creation, who were, in the last corrupt generation of the old heaven and earth, a double ruin, blocked from entering by the double strait]: 

Matthew 24
42 Watch [gregoreuo – remain awake], therefore: for you know not what hour your LORD does come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house [those leading the family] had known in what watch the thief [the LORD] would come, he would have watched [gregoreuo – remained awake], and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not [as you now think] the Son of man comes.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant [who you haven’t known], whom his LORD has made ruler over his household [His family], to give them meat [this deep understanding that strengthens] in due season [this time now come on all the earth unaware]?
46 Blessed is that servant [I Am], whom his LORD when he comes shall find so doing.
47 Truly I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My LORD delays his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken [remaining in darkness: ignorance in which they sleep];
50 The LORD of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 25
1 Then [after cutting asunder those striking the fellow-servants] shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins [all those looking for the LORD’s appearing], which took their lamps [with which they see him in the darkness, ignorance, that now covers the world], and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil [the source, the anointing, of the light, understanding that makes His presence seeable] with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they ALL slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, LORD, LORD, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Truly I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes.
14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man [of war] traveling into a far country [in Hebrew, rachowq – this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men], who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods [these treasures from heaven].
15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his LORD’s money [not giving these treasures, to increase for the One giving them].
19 After a long time the LORD of those servants comes, and reckoned with them.
20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, LORD, you delivered unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21 His LORD said unto him, Well done, you good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your LORD.
22 He also that had received two talents came and said, LORD, you delivered unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23 His LORD said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your LORD.
24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, LORD, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not strawed:
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth: lo, there you have that is yours.
26 His LORD answered and said unto him, You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27 You ought therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which has ten talents.
29 For unto every one that has [increased those who receive these treasures, giving them this word as received] shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that has not shall be taken away [will not remain] even that which he has.
30 And cast you the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels [messenger taking this word and giving it as received] with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep [who follow Him and obey His commands] on his right hand, but the goats [devils misleading the flock] on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation [katabole] of the world:
35 For I [My ONE BODY] was hungry [in need of this word of God], and you gave me meat [this deep understanding that strengthens the mind]: I was thirsty, and you gave me [this word of God to] drink: I was a stranger [when I Am among you unknown], and you [opened the door when I knocked and] took me in:
36 Naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited [episkeptomai – meaning “to inspect, i.e. (by implication) to select; by extension, to go to see, relieve”] me [with this word that cloths: protects from the corrupt element of the world, and heals the body of Christ]: I was in prison [held in the ignorance men taught, which brought ALL here into death and hell], and you came unto me [as the LORD’s presence to free me].
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, LORD, when saw we you hungry, and fed you? or thirsty, and gave you drink?
38 When saw we you a stranger, and took you in? or naked, and clothed you?
39 Or when saw we you sick, or in prison, and came unto you?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Truly I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren [My ONE BODY], you have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed [kataraomai – doomed by going your own ways and not following Me: My commands through those I’ve sent as My presence], into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels [messengers opposing the work and will of God]:
42 For I was hungry and you gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and you visited [episkeptomai] me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, LORD, when saw we you hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto you?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Truly I say unto you, Inasmuch as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous [following Me] into life eternal.

Matthew 13
31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
33 Another parable spoke he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman [the unfaithful church that didn’t keep, protect and defend, My word from the corruptors] took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened [corrupted].
34 All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke he not unto them:
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation [katabole] of the world.

1 Thessalonians 4
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, Concerning Them Which Are Asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the LORD, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the LORD shall not prevent them which are asleep [shall not be raised until they are awakened].
16 For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up [harpazo – as in Jude 1:23, by remembering to fear the LORD, we are “pulled” from the fires] together [all together] with them in the clouds, to meet the LORD in the air [where all things are clearly seen: heaven]: and so shall we ever be with the LORD.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Job 37
2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning [understanding] unto the ends of the earth [ending the old, beginning the new].
4 After it a voice roars [as a lion, the second face of the unfolding presence of God manifested in the flesh]: he thunders [the sound of the light from the cloud] with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5 God thunders marvelously [pala’ – opening our eyes to Him that wasn’t seen] with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 For he says to the snow [this word frozen in heaven, reserved there until this time of war], Be you on the earth; likewise to the small rain [the written word left with men], and to the great rain [understanding returned to His written word] of his strength.
7 He seals up the hand [He reveals the works hidden in the ignorance] of every man; that all men may know his work [know it is Him revealing it].
8 Then the beasts go [retreat] into dens, and remain in their places.
9 Out of the south comes the whirlwind [from where His Almighty Spirit speaks to those looking to Him for light: understanding]: and cold out of the north [nothing is revealed by the works of darkness: ignorance].
10 By the breath of God [this word from His mouth] frost is given [His written word’s meaning reserved frozen in men’s ignorance]: and the breadth of the waters is straitened [the deep understanding in His word is rightly ordered].
11 Also by watering he wearies the thick cloud [by reassembling the elements of understanding it comes from heaven]: he scatters his bright cloud [there is nothing He doesn’t in this way reveal]:
12 And it is turned [haphak – He overturns] round about [those surrounding Him, concealing Him in their ignorance] by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commands them upon the face of [paniym – by His presence manifested in the flesh to] the world in [the current inhabitants of] the earth [‘erets].
13 He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land [‘erets – the new earth He is creating], or for mercy.
14 Hearken unto this, O Job [God’s people still in rebellion against Him]: stand still [stop your worthless works and hear My voice], and consider the wondrous [pala’ – explaining what was not clear, in the] works of God [that open your eyes to see Him].
15 Do you know when God disposed [suwm] them [sets them in order], and caused the light [understanding] of his cloud to shine [upon all]?
16 Do you know the balancing [the things poised there, to be revealed in their time, for this purpose] of the clouds, the wondrous [eye opening] works of him which is perfect [tamiym] in knowledge?

Psalms 127
1 Except the LORD build the house [His family in whom He lives], they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward [sakar].
4 As arrows [Ephraim – His people in this last generation, who become the first generation of His new creation] are in the hand of a mighty man [of war]; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak [His word] with the enemies in the gate [and we will possess {yarash} them].

Isaiah 60 
1 Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen [zarach] upon you.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise [zarach] upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness [in Timnathserah] of your rising [zerach].
4 Lift up your eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to you: your sons shall come from far, and your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
5 Then you shall see, and flow together, and your heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto you, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto you.
6 The multitude of camels shall cover you, the dromedaries of Midian [strife] and Ephah [gloom]; all they from Sheba [those perfected as promised] shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall show forth the praises of the LORD.
7 All the flocks of Kedar [darkness – who have been ignorant of the LORD] shall be gathered together unto you, the rams of Nebaioth [the high places of power] shall minister unto you: they shall come up with acceptance on my altar, and I will glorify [pa’ar – explain, make clearly seen] the house [family] of my glory.
8 Who are these that fly as a cloud [with understanding], and as the doves [as an expected end] to their windows [they come to see]?
9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish [those who have fled from their vow] first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified [pa’ar – explained, made clear] you.
10 And the sons of strangers shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister unto you: for in my wrath I smote you, but in my favor have I had mercy on you.
11 Therefore your gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto you the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.
12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
13 The glory of Lebanon [purity] shall come unto you, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box [all the upright] together, to beautify [pa’ar – explain, made clearly seen] the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 The sons also of them that afflicted you shall come bending unto you; and all they that despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you; The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
16 You shall also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shall suck the breast of kings: and you shall know that I the LORD am your Savior and your Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make your officers peace, and your exactors righteousness.
18 Violence shall no more be heard in your land, wasting nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 The sun shall be no more your light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto you: but the LORD shall be unto you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.
20 Your sun shall no more go down; neither shall your moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be your everlasting light [the giver of understanding], and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
21 Your people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified [pa’ar – clearly seen].
22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one [I Am] a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the LORD God is upon me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek [who shall inherit the earth]; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort [nacham – lead into all truth] all that mourn [and repent];
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might [in them] be glorified [pa’ar – explained and clearly seen].
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

The following excerpts, ending with Psalms 27, are from the post of 2 December 2024, with today’s additions in double brackets.

Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first-ripe fruit.

The LORD begins today, above in Micah 7:1, speaking of His people still bound in darkness (ignorance of Him), held by the thorns and briers (by the mouths of misleaders and deceivers) they followed there. In the Hebrew word bikkuwrah, rendered “first-ripe fruit,” speaking of the first-born from the dead, He is speaking of those who should be the fathers of many children, born in the same way they should have: by receiving the LORD, by receiving His word as His.

The only other time the word (bikkuwrah) appears is in Hosea 9:10, where we’re told of when the LORD saw the fathers as “first-ripe” of the fig tree, at her first time. 

These chapters speak of this time of the LORD’s visitation. Hosea 10 then begins, like in the title verse, saying, “Israel is an empty vine, he brings forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the [empty] altars; according to the goodness of his land [‘erets – this corrupt earth age] they have made [what they call] goodly images.” 

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 [refusing the LORD’s leading into life], 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 [with death and hell]: thus judgment springs up as hemlock [poison in their words and ways] in the furrows of the field [as two opposing armies].
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven [the idols they put in My place in their worthless houses]: for the people thereof [when they realize they’ve worshipped idols men created, put in My place, and called them by My name] shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it [the idols they created], for the glory thereof, because it [their glory in their idols] is departed from it.
6 It shall be also carried unto Assyria [the communists in power] for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel [the same words that led them into death and hell].
7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water [blown away by My Almighty Spirit moving upon these waters, to bring light to the darkened deep].
8 The high places also of Aven [the worthless houses], the sin [the idols, abominations they put in My place and call by My name] of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn [misleaders] and the thistle [deceivers] shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains [the corrupt governments, institutions of church and state], Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us [quoted in Revelation 6:16].
9 O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah [this a reference to Pashar {Jeremiah 20 in the previous post}, with affinity to Judges 20:4 – 8, tearing the LORD’s dead body {church} in pieces]: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them [nasag – this refers to its only other use in Hosea, in Hosea 2:7].
10 It is in my desire that I should chastise [correct] them; and the people shall be gathered against them when they shall bind themselves in [battle like two armies arrayed] their two furrows [where they planted their iniquity, which springs up as judgment by their own poisonous words].
11 And Ephraim is as a heifer that is taught [this correction – with reference to Jeremiah 31:17 thru 22], and loves to tread out the corn [trample under their feet this fruit from the LORD; speaking of His righteous judgment come, saying in Hebrews 10:29 “Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?”]; but I passed over [‘abar] upon her fair neck [showing them the way from death into life is in these words waiting in their throat to be spoken]: I will make Ephraim to ride [rakab – I will dispatch them for this purpose]; Judah shall plow [the earth], and Jacob shall break his clods [that have hardened without this word from heaven].
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground [niyr – only appearing three other times, all below]: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain [this] righteousness upon you [from heaven – this place of full understanding].
13 You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your [own] way, in the multitude of your mighty men [the consensus of the ignorant who falsely call themselves wise].
14 Therefore shall a tumult [sha’own – voices roaring; the two armies of God’s divided people, without this word warring one against the other] arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman [“fire worshippers” – the communists who’ve kindled hell’s fires] spoiled Betharbel [“the houses of God’s ambush” – His people ignorant and blinded to His presence] in the day of battle [both names only appearing here] the mother [the teachers who brought them up] was dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 So shall Bethel [the corrupt houses of God, where they worship idols they put in My place] do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning [when this understanding has come as the light of this new day] shall the king of Israel [the communists sitting in power] utterly be cut off.

Proverbs 13
13 Whoso despises the [this] word shall be destroyed: but he that fears the commandment shall be rewarded.
14 The law [this word from the mouth of God by which man lives] of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15 Good understanding gives [the LORD’s] favor: but the way of transgressors is hard [hardening their minds to the LORD’s favor, like ground hardened without this word from heaven].
16 Every prudent man deals with knowledge [of God]: but a fool lays open his folly [foolishness that comes by ignorance].
17 A wicked messenger [mal’ak – angels with misleading messages] falls into mischief [ra’ – by their own evil words]: but a faithful ambassador is health [marpe’ – is the cure for evil messages].
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses [this] instruction: but he that regards [shamar – guards from corruption] reproof [this correction] shall be honored.

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].

Jeremiah 31
[[15 Thus says the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah [Arimathaea], lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for [because] her children refused to be comforted [nacham – refuse to be led into all truth, by the LORD among them unknown] for her children, because they were not [yet born again].
16 Thus says the LORD; Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears: for your work shall be rewarded [sakar], says the LORD; and they shall come again [shuwb – return to the LORD] from the land [‘erets – the earth] of the enemy.]]
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 [‘erets], 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 pupil He taught to see as He sees].
11 As an eagle [the final face of the unfolding presence of the LORD] stirs up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, takes them, beareth 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 9
7 The days of visitation [pquddah – when the LORD is seen as the Chief Overseer of the earth] are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad [raving with insanity], for the multitude of your iniquity, and the great hatred [the refusal of your false prophets to receive and give this true word of God].
8 The watchman [tsaphah – with whom are the LORD’s secrets] of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and [the false prophets are] hatred in the house of his God.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah [killing and scattering God’s people into pieces]: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit [paqad – the same as pquddah] their sins.
10 [As the Chief Overseer of the earth] I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe [bikkuwrak] in the fig tree at her first time [re’shiyth – the first word of Genesis 1:1, meaning the first of the first-fruits]: but they went to Baalpeor [the gods of this world, idols men put in God’s place, whose mouths are forever wide open devouring man and swallowing him into the belly of hell]; and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory [as fading flower] shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a [living] man left [and they all died at the end of the old and corrupt heaven and earth]: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them [from their sight]!
13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus [the false rock], is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer [who have made all the world dead, needing to be born again into life].
14 Give them, O LORD: what will you give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken [shama’ – and obey] unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations [the dead, without My Spirit, who haven’t known Me].

Micah 7 
1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first-ripe fruit [bikkuwrah].
2 The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asks, and the judge asks for a reward; and the great man, he utters his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4 The best of them is as a brier [a deceiver]: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge [misleader]: the day of your watchmen [tsaphah – seeing the LORD’s secrets] and your visitation [pquddah – the LORD appearing, seen again, as the Chief Overseer of the earth] comes; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Trust you not in a friend, put you not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of your mouth from her that lieth in your bosom.
6 For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house [the family of God at war with itself].
7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8 Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness [ignorance], the LORD shall be a light [understanding] unto me.
9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light [understanding], and I shall behold [see as He sees] his righteousness.
10 Then she that is my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD your God? my eyes [seeing as the LORD sees] shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 In the day that your walls [of the LORD’s protection, line upon line, precept upon precept] are to be built, in that day shall the decree [choq – at this time when light has come] be far removed [rachoq – against and ending the evil decrees of wicked men in power, by which they rule].
12 In that day also he shall come even to you [away] from Assyria [the communists in power], and [away] from the [evil] fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river [away from their misleading and manipulative words], and from sea to sea [from the last generation of the old world into the first of the new], and from mountain to mountain [from their old corrupt governments of church and state, into the new wherein dwells the LORD’s righteousness].
13 Notwithstanding the land [‘erets – the earth] shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Feed your people with your rod [of Your righteous correction], the [ONE] flock of your heritage [who inherit this earth], which dwell solitarily [separated from the old and corrupt heaven and earth] in the wood, in the midst of Carmel [this land that is as the garden of Eden]: let them feed in Bashan [in fruitfulness, as the first of My first-fruits] and Gilead [by this Testimony of the LORD], as in the days of old [as in all eternity].
15 According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egyptl will I show [[ra’ah]] unto him marvelous [[[pala’]] eye-opening] things [and you will see Me, by seeing as I see].
16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might [in the LORD]: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth [and stop their evil words against Him], their ears shall be deaf [none shall listen to their evil words].
17 They shall lick the dust [the ruin of the earth they destroyed] like a serpent [as deceiver], they shall move out of their holes like worms of [their animated dead flesh on] the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of you.
18 Who is a God like unto you, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retains not his anger forever, because he delights in mercy.
19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 You will perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which you have sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

Psalms 27
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When you said, Seek you my face [paniym – Your presence in Your word]; my heart said unto you, Your face [paniym – Your presence in Your word], LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not your face [paniym – Your presence in Your word] far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother [my leaders and teachers] forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty [chamac – wrong: violence against truth].
13 I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land [‘erets – the earth] of the living.
14 Wait on [qavah – expect] the LORD [now in the earth of the living]: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen [give understanding to] your heart [mind]: wait, I say, on [qavah – expect] the LORD.

Take you again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.

23 – 24 July 2025

23 – 24 July 2025

Take you again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.

The roll (mgillah – the volume), above in Jeremiah 36:28, is the “book” Baruch (the blessed) the son of Neriah (the lamp of Jehovah – showing the way in this time of ignorance: darkness), from the word cepher, meaning “properly, writing (the art or a document); by implication, a book.”

Baruch, in Jeremiah 36:17, is asked, “How did you write all these words at his [Jehovah rising in the flesh, to raise His people – by Jeremiah’s] mouth?”

Baruch, in the following verse, answered, “He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.” As we know, this book was sent to the king, who cut it apart and cast it into the fire.

The word “another” in the title verse is ‘acher, meaning after, as in ‘acheriyth (the last days, the after {‘acher} now come {‘uwth, to come, and ‘owth the signal {of the end come – see the post of 10 July 2025}).

This is the same book (cepher) spoken of in Jeremiah 32:12, a chapter where the word (cepher) is used eight times, rendered “evidence” (and only once as “book”). The chapter speaks of Jeremiah giving these to Baruch, and in verse 14 saying, “Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences [cepher], this evidence [cepher] of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence [cepher] which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.”

The earthen vessel is the same discussed in the post of 21 July 2025, where we saw (from Jeremiah 19) that it was the ancient people in whom the word of God should be found, from whom it should flow, and no longer was or did.

In this context, the following are excerpts of posts from 2017 through 2021, evidernce the LORD told us of the conspiracy now visible to all, Obama, antichrist then as now, the head conspirator, only hidden in the denials (and gaslighting) of his fellow conspirators, and, fearing their demonization, the cowardice of the opposition.

From 5 March 2017:

Continuing: Friends, in the prior post, we looked again at Isaiah 8 through 10 and also mentioned this time of realization being both terrifying and sorrow-filled. The reason for these feelings are found in the aforementioned chapters, and the realization that there will be no sign. I know most have rejected the warning and correction which will be, as has been foretold, the only herald that will trumpet their end.

Friends, I don’t know how much clearer it can be made, Isaiah 8 clearly tells us of the LORD coming as the glory and presence of God among us in the one speaking His guidance. Therein we see, as we now do, the men the Word of God is sent to, instead choose to unite in a confederacy led by those who have led them and the world into chaos by listening to their death-inducing advice.

The LORD then tells of these people, by listening to the ignorant, descend further into trouble, darkness, dimness, and anguish.

Those who have listened to the LORD’s voice, following His living way and not surrendering to the counsel of the dead, have in doing so seen the Light.

The chapters describe two types of the dead; those described as being the Assyrian with the Philistines, and those thinking they are following God but are instead in a state of total rebellion, having joined with the others against the LORD. The Assyrian represents the corrupted rulers that have invaded and now infest and control our government, as in Obama and those he has so deeply embedded in all our Government. As we have discussed here many times in the past, he ingrained his policy and regulations, along with his people, to ensure their survival, with the intention of making it almost impossible to weed them out. The other group is those who claim to be God’s people but have in fact either become effeminized, or purchased by the promise of a communist utopia, or surrendered to relativism demanded by the pop culture.

But unto those who have received the Word of God, even though we dwell in the land covered by this shadow of death, Jehovah has risen as a Shining Light.

The LORD says because of this man-caused darkness, and the continued rejection of God’s word by those claiming they are His people, he will cut off from among His people, “head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. 15 The ancient and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail. 16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. 17 Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every-one is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.”

I know this rejection means self-inflicting a terrible end for these men destroying the earth through corrupted leading, and for this I am filled with great sorrow. This is why the LORD in the prior post preceded the above description with the warning to the wicked, found in Ezekiel 33. There we read of the wicked, (as in Isaiah 9:12, as the Assyrians, the infested leaders, and the Philistines, following them with continued attacks from behind), and the righteous who are called God’s people. The latter, thinking their righteous works will save them as they commit wickedness by rejecting the Word of God, and saying they will rebuild what they themselves know has become a shambles by their own hand.

Ezekiel 33
7 So you, O son of man, I have set you a watchman 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 in them, how should we then live?

Please bear with me for a moment as I digress and comment on the failing strategy of the establishment in their attempt to destroy Trump, necessarily so they can get back to destroying our nation, our original, unique culture, and our better ideas. We are talking about the multiculturalists and globalists, now engaged in their war of fake information and false accusation, they actually being puppets of the communist insurgency and muslim jihad, fooled into attacking our culture, all knowing it is what stands in the ways of their succeeding, and ignorantly doing so thinking there is a utopia in the mire of total confusion and chaos. They are, of course, working from the Saul Alinsky playbook, with the Clinton and Obama twist, which removes and abandons all rules whenever needed, nothing being an unacceptable means if it achieves their desired end (sociopathic behavior – without conscience and with disregard for its destructive impact on society at large).

What we are witnessing in this now full onslaught is the result of the clash of the Alinsky orthodoxy and the more contemporary ideas of Obama and Clinton. One of Alinsky’s rules tells his followers: Any strategy that drags on, eventually becomes a drag. The more “enlightened” group, and their new twist, have seemingly rejected this rule in favor of continuing to manufacture new and more outlandish claims in an attempt to make the now-failing strategy work. The problem they face and the limit they’ve reached is that there isn’t a single bit of proof to support their attacks or their false accusations. As they continue on, having chained themselves to the obligation to prove the unprovable, they, rather than moving on, have moved into self-destruction.

This again is what has been discussed here many times, and told of in God’s word as their digging a pit to catch their prey and they themselves falling into it and becoming trapped. We have also told of it as if they have been rolling a boulder up a steep incline, seemingly ignorant of the fact that they can only go so far before it rolls back over them.

Daniel 2 tells of the “latter days” when there will be a kingdom whose feet are a mixture of clay and iron, and because it stands upon a mixture of strength and weakness it wouldn’t be able to stand, and eventually all its value would come crashing down (because it had a corrupted foundation, made last – in these latter days). What causes it to come crashing down is that there is said to be a stone cut from a mountain without hands (by God’s work). It is telling of what comparatively seems to be without any value, and without any crafting that makes it appealing. It comes against the foundation made of clay and iron, in these latter days fashioned by man as a self-created trap, the image seemingly stumbling at the stone, and crashing into its own destruction.

26 July 2017

Do you believe in the miraculous? Does God still create miracles where there seems to be no natural way? The small miracles happen every day, but because they remain small, man is able to ignore them by attributing their occurrence to chance or coincidence. The premise of today’s post is, as we have heard from the LORD, this national government, ruling a people under God, has failed, as the ship of state floundered in the storm and is now crashed against the stone and broken. (Daniel 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.)

The evidence is seen in a party, the Republican Party, having majority control of all three branches of government, proving itself unable to govern, unwilling/unable to implement the policies upon which it campaigned and was elected. Defeated by its own underlying contradictions, exposing its deceptive public mask, it is now seen to have subordinated its honor and goals to special interest money (lawful graft). It is also controlled by fear of the Obama/communist embeds in all the deep seats of power, and a fake news media openly hostile to our nation’s original founding principle, it now lashes out against those who see they have been fooled into voting them power, again, and again, and…

Coinciding with this, the church remains fractured and confused, leaderless yet inescapably knowing it is a time for action. The obvious stands before its face, calling it to stand, yet it remains held down by the same corrupted, feckless leaders they know have only made merchandise of them and comforted themselves into resting when WE should be rising.

To wit, thus says the LORD, “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts. 7 Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shouting, crying, Grace, grace unto it. 8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you. 10 For who has despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.”

I have for many years told of my mission plan, to unite the church under one head (risen into this same mission), and in doing so, save it (from self-destruction), and together we do the same for the nation, and the world. This is the charge I have been given, and I will not rest until it is accomplished. The above passage is from Zechariah 4, and it describes the seven churches, the same seven churches mentioned in Revelation. It is specifically to those leading (misleading) all these fractured and fallen groups in church and state, and I say to them now – Get out of the way and let us work.

Zechariah 1
1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.

Blessed are They Which are Persecuted for Righteousness’ Sake (covered in the Blood of the Lamb): for Theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven

This is a quote (minus my parenthetical insertion) found at Matthew 5:10, and tells of the way, the truth, and the life, that come to those who follow Christ’s leading into perfection. Friends, I tell you – it (all mainstream news and teaching is corrupted by lies) is all fake news manufactured from whole cloth with the intention of destroying this movement toward righteousness. It is all a great deception with them projecting their wishes upon any who will allow themselves to be devoured. This is the lies and great deception spewed from the mouth of the dragon (the vermin infesting our institutions – the fake news media, the false churches, corrupted political parties, the crony capitalists, and the Obama moles – embeds and underminers), because they know their time is short. So here we stand in the wilderness, having departed from these corrupted misleaders, still keeping the commandments of God, and having the testimony of the LORD Jesus Christ, knowing, with great confidence in His promises, our deliverance is at hand.

Revelation 12
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The Last Days of a Corrupt Age, when all Turn Away Their Ears from the Truth, and are Turned to Fables

The title speaks of what is written in 2 Timothy 4:4 of our time, when men seek out those who will tell them what they want to hear, rather than the truth. In politics and national government, we see it manifesting before our eye, as all the godless elites, the corrupted institution, the now fake news media, all our federal intelligence agencies, the Trump haters in the upper echelons of both parties, have created fictional stories, with the intention of destroying not just one man, but an entire movement.

This movement, the mass voter revolt, has risen up against just this type of elitist-centered governing, which has focused itself on destroying our culture and national sovereignty, with the purpose to immovably place themselves over us as our masters. After many generations of destroying our educational system, reversing historical fact, demonizing God and Christianity, having successfully replaced the ideas of liberty with a never-before-existent right to normalize every conceivable perversion and abnormality, they mobilized their power for a final progressive push into utopia. What they thought was the finish line was the Obama administration, and signaled the defeat of all political or leadership opposition, but not the surrender of the great “unwashed” masses.

This prior administration, seeing the people very quickly and vigorously rose up to oppose what we saw through the deception, itself quickly changed tactics, and again focused on the progress (communist) patience. As we know, on the surface, this change took the form of using executive orders to achieve what had been checked legislatively. These wannabe despots and tyrants, being fully aware that all their executive orders and legislative successes could be overturned and reversed with a change in President, next moved covertly within the bowels of every government institution, as documented here as it was happening. They positioned their agents of “hope and change,” those who would be loyal to the progress made, even to the point of lawlessness and subversion. (Now called the deep state.)

Those who receive their information from outside the coconspirators in the fake news media, and are therefore and thereby actually informed, have known this as what has been perpetrated upon them and the nation at large. The only weapon we have had opposing this is Donald J. Trump, and that is what the elites are blinded to. Their blinding, other than being part of their propensity to reject reality, is due to their reliance on polls, and as it was with the election results, occurred due to their inability to accurately sample those who have awakened to support him and become the new opposition.

This is the movement we are part of, politically: engaged in a battle to protect and preserve our Constitution and the form of Government it established. It is why we support and will support Trump, against the attack and false accusation, the fables they now spew and vomit over all the airways they control. We do so because we know what the battle is for and against, and our support for the President is because he is fearlessly in the battle with us.

Friends, the title passage, when speaking of those who’ve turned from the truth, says they heaped to themselves teachers who only teach what they want to hear, even to the point of untruth, as it is with those who’ve turned away from our faith, to combat them, we must be teachers. One of the reasons God has prospered those whom he has is to provide us with the resources to sustain ourselves, so we are able to devote our talents to the more important aspects of teaching truth and peace. There is no greater means of ensuring (or destroying) a civilized nation than teaching. There is no more glorious or honorable pursuit than teaching. Sadly, this has been our failure in Christianity and civics: not educating people to the whole duty of man, according to the law of nature and nature’s God.

This is the battle of Armageddon, fighting away the darkness that has covered the world in a shadow of death; our weapon is light, and the enlightenment by Truth. This is the power of God, His Glory shining forth, as He tramples out the grape of His wrath, against the deception, induced ignorance, and confusion, and in this change, bringing life again to what has become dead.

2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

1 September 2018

Today is explicitly speaking of the wickedness of the Democrat party, the deep state, their witch hunt, the lies at their foundation, and the injustice and inequity they pursue through their special counsel.

Psalms 36
1 The transgression of the wicked says within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he has left off to be wise, and to do good.
4 He devises mischief upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he abhors not evil.
5 Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and your faithfulness reaches unto the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep: O LORD, you preserve man and beast.
7 How excellent is your lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of your wings.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
9 For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light.
10 O continue your lovingkindness unto them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

The opening verse above tells of the thoughts and actions of the wicked, showing there is no fear of God in their understanding. This is itself the definition of blindness and foolishness, from which these men have been warned away, have not heeded, and are therefore now in grave danger of reaping the self-inflicted consequences.

The standard operating procedure of the wicked is to first create a lie (as they have), to facilitate a false accusation (as they have), to give plausible validity to an investigation (as it has). The investigation is continued until a violation of a law is found or forced, as we have seen and will see as long as the witch hunt is allowed to continue. The wicked, the unaccountable, and lawless deep state, pervert and apply justice unequally, and with prejudice, ignoring or acquitting the guilty while meticulously scrutinizing anyone they deem a threat to their lies, power, or positions.

These are merely tactics, now grotesquely exaggerated as they frantically try to defeat the will of the people who have seen, awakened, and risen up in opposition, which manifested itself in the election of President Trump (who is appropriately named as he has and continues to trump every card they play). The finalization of their planned destruction included the election of Hillary Clinton, which was inevitable right up until the sudden, unexpected loss. The attacks against the President are an extension of the underlying objective: destroying those who have awakened against the transformation of our nation.

As we know, for the wicked to have succeeded, the seeds had to be planted long ago, before Obama, who with intention, infested the government with communists, socialists, and globalists who he knew would ruthlessly disregard the law. Their mission, to be the final destroyers of the American and Christian culture, which has been the plan of the like-minded for generations before him. Our culture is the underlying enemy these people are attacking and against which they have long conspired.

At the beginning of the last century, the communists set out to demoralize the U.S. by infiltrating all our institutions: education, religion, and government, and by this alter the thinking and spirit of the population.

They filled the minds of our society with meaningless and inaccurate propaganda meant to vilify America and Christianity while elevating lesser and more primitive values. The greater intention was to confuse the mind by destroying normalcy and reality through redefinition and reverse labeling, which has now produced vast numbers of people foolish enough to believe and act upon whatever lies they are told.

Friends, I am sorry to say, this is as true in the modern church as it is in the pop culture.

The men who now sit in the seats of power, who oppose the awakening, will not change what they teach, nor will they allow any ideas to be heard that contradict and expose their corrupted thinking, teaching, and reporting.

This is when, where, and why God manifests His presence and power. He comes as the same great surprise to those who don’t believe He exists or who think they control Him. Friends, watch, and you will see, all will see, but the unbelieving will deny it is a supernatural act of the Almighty. The LORD tells us where to look, and of the sign of His presence, which comes after the tribulation caused by the darkening of these institutions and God’s people. He is the enlightener, who appears to end the darkness.

Matthew 24
27 For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun [church] be darkened, and the moon [civil government] shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven [God’s people falling away from His rightly divided word and losing their light], and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear [the light] the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Truly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

10 October 2018

Friends, the reality is we live in a time where we are drastically divided. The greater unseen reality is that this is God’s plan, for which we should give thanks. Let me explain.

These are the waters divided, the great sea that is humanity, divided by the ideas they’ve chosen to believe. They’ve been forced apart by the wind, the spirits of men, and the ideas controlling their words and acts. At this point, almost all men are without faith, meaning they don’t truly, with full assurance, believe God is with us, working out a plan to deliver us as He reveals Himself.

Here (again) is a portion of a post, from 17 March 2017, which describes those who have separated the world, and those of us who have passed through their midst, titled: Woe Unto Them Who Say to Dead Wood, Awake; to the Dumb Stone, Arise, it Shall Teach! (Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no life at all in the midst of it.)

“A few days back, I mentioned that these men have forgotten (abandoned) the covenant, but that the LORD has not forgotten it. God is not a man that He would lie (needs to out of fear – as man does), and if this judgment and righteousness did not come, the promise of His coming would be a lie. We have often discussed Amos 3, asking the question, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” We know most people mistakenly only see this as a statement telling of agreement in thought and miss the deeper meaning. The deep understanding is in its asking, “Can two meet in this judgment unless they have agreed on the time and the place?” We plainly see this as the subject in the surrounding verse, and it leads to the proclamation of it in Amos 4:12, “Therefore thus will I do unto you, O Israel: and because I will do this unto you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.”

When the LORD says, “because I will do this unto you,” He is telling of all the things that come upon us being done to bring these men back from corruption. He shows us the pattern here as we saw it in prior posts, as also spoken of by him in Matthew 11, when He speaks of the things that will come upon these same types of corrupted leaders, misleading His people.

This (misleading) is what is spoken of in Amos 5:2 when the LORD describes the virgin of His people that has fallen, never to rise again, and there is none among her able to raise her up. He then speaks of the small remnant that returns, and this life coming as a result of His calling them out and away from the places where the idols are set, saying, “Seek you Me, and you shall live.”

It is telling of there being no power in these abominable creations to raise up this beloved virgin of God’s people, and to be raised, she must be freed from the prison of darkness under these false angels of light.

Then in verse 7, the LORD again speaks directly to the men of their crimes and of their hating the one standing rebuking them in the entryway to the holy city (heavenly Jerusalem).

Amos 5
7 You who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
8 Seek him that makes the seven stars and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night: that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
9 That strengthens the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
10 They hate him that rebukes in the gate, and they abhor him that speaks uprightly.
11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and you take from him burdens of wheat: you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink wine of them.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
13 Therefore, the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph [those seeing abstractly the end the LORD has promised and trusting in HIM to bring it into reality].

These men have and will do as they have always done, seek to use twisted earthly reasoning and rationalization to explain away what they can’t accept because of its indictment. Their seats are corrupted, and there is no life-giving power in them – in fact, they have drained away all life. (Speaking of course of church and national establishment leadership: Pope, the thieving televangelicals, all the many thousands of the now liberal denominations, old or new, the Schumer/Pelosi democrats, McCain/Ryan republicans, the Obama vermin infesting our institutions, all fake news media, and the godless elites in entertainment and business.) (Yes, I intentionally left out Trump, the Freedom Caucus, and talk radio, as they are part of the outside remnant – the virgin, known as those who rebuke these others at the gate, and are hated by the other troop.)

Amos 3
1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish [discipline and correct] you for all your iniquities.
3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he has taken nothing?
5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD has not done it?
7 Surely the LORD God will do nothing, but he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets.
8 The lion has roared, who will not fear? the LORD God has spoken, who can but prophesy?

29 November 2018

Then said Jesus unto them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.

We preach Christ and Him crucified, at which all men stumble. Friends, the gospel we preach is Christ in us and rejected, because He comes to save the lost who ignorantly don’t know they are in need of saving and correction.

The truth we should see manifested before our eyes is Christ and rejection to varying degrees. The culture, the world, accepts antichrist, preaching the easy antigospel, which everyone accepts and extols. Those who have good in their hearts (as the foundation of their reason), and willingly sacrifice to give it, are demonized and raised up for constant ridicule. They are the light in the darkness, stars in the night, and the world, the popular culture, the wicked sitting in the seats of power, hate the light, because their deeds are evil.

The best examples of antichrist, those who preach and act to please the relativistic culture, and by this betrayal are accepted and exalted by the world they blind and lead into destruction, are Obama, Francis, and all the “prosperity” and “feel-good” so-called “evangelical” preachers. The world receives them because they have received (become) the world. Now, when Trump is rejected, hated without any cause other than he rejects the prejudices made popular by the culture and the relativistic world, I see Christ in him, holding him up. How many among you have willingly made the sacrifice he has? Now, if this makes me your enemy, so be it. I am not looking for the approval or commendation of man, but of God who has sent me to preach this Salvation, and (willingly, knowingly) be rejected and crucified for it.

2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I [Timothy, son of David] myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7 Do you look on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the LORD has given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

5 November 2019

After the below attached information was posted here, on my Message page, boosted at the Message, and received about 10,000 likes and shares, facebook deleted them all, saying they violated their “bullying” policy. They and all the MSM are colluding and conspiring with the democrat party in the COUP to overthrow the president and overturn the will of those who elected Him.

Please share this information. If they delete it, post it in the comments section of other posts. I don’t think this will stay up long.

WHISTLEBLOWER is Democrat and CIA Operative Eric CIAramella (ramah, meaning delusion or betrayer – his seems to be a code name). Here is the meaning of his full name: Eric, everlasting ruler, as in the permanent government, the “Deep State,” and CIA (ramah) Assassin, or one who beguiles or deceives.

Here is the definition of ramah from the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary: #7411: ramah (pronounced raw-maw’) a primitive root; to hurl; specifically, to shoot; figuratively, to delude or betray (as if causing to fall):–beguile, betray, (bow-)man, carry, deceive, throw.

Here are Eric CIAramella’s credentials:
He worked with another DNC Operative, Alexandra Chalupa, in creating the Trump-Russia collusion HOAX.
He was fired in 2017 from his NSC posting at the White House, for leaking, and was returned to the CIA where he currently works.
He is a registered Democrat who served in the Obama Administration. There he worked directly for VP Joe Biden, James Clapper (Director of National Intelligence from 2007 to 2017), and John Brennan (Director of the CIA from 2013 to 2017).

This man’s name (Eric CIAramella) is either made up or Divine engineering, which we see is a constant mark of God’s work, names engineered to reflect the character and work of the one it is assigned to. Just as is the name Trump, no matter what card they play against him, even cards that normally beat others, the Trump card always wins.

Friends, these things are merely evidence of what we know, by faith, to be true: we are all acting out a script, written, produced, and directed by the LORD God Almighty Himself. I have read through to the end, and you won’t believe (haven’t believed) what is coming until you see it.

2 Corinthians 1
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to naught:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.
10 But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God.

Friends, as we know, the mask shows who has and hasn’t bowed to the lie (the hype that is the COVID HOAX), which is the mass delusion that now covers the world. I am telling you, as I have told you in the past, Obama (antichrist) is leading and commanding those in Democrat controlled areas to force masks, lock down (deny liberty to) their people, and close their businesses. Here in North Carolina, to prohibit people from buying or selling without a mask, they’ve made not complying with their mask mandate a class 2 misdemeanor, punishable by up to 60 days in jail and or a $1000 fine. It’s a continuation, the known progression, of the tyranny that began eight months ago with “15 days to slow the spread.” It isn’t going to end until they have finished the U.S. off (us, the middle class, and our Christian culture).

The cure is mass noncompliance, civil disobedience, not bowing to the dictates of these Democrat Communist Party Governors who are controlled by those who want to destroy our lives and livelihoods.

4 December 2020

The LORD began today in 1 Chronicles 6, in the revelation contained in the many names there written, in Levi’s sons there listed. In verse 1, the “root” of bitterness that causes many to be defiled, mentioned in Hebrew 12:15 above, is described in Levi’s son Merari.

1 Chronicles 6
1 The sons of Levi [joined to]; Gershon [a refugee, exile], Kohath [to ally oneself; allied], and Merari [bitter].

What follows is the offspring of each of these sons, beginning with Kohath, whose description ends when, “Jehozadak [the righteousness {good and sound advice} of Jehovah] went into captivity, when the LORD [Jehovah] carried away Judah and Jerusalem [God’s people and their leaders] by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the lies of the false prophets {the voices, in church and state, the world is listening to and following} that led God’s people into confusion, now turned mass delusion, and on to total desolation].”

2 Thessalonians 2
5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now you know what withholds [katecho – holds down {lockdown}] that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets [katecho – who lock you down] will let [will lock you down], until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked [Obama, and his true bitter clingers, who refuse to let go of the lies and deception, the violence, they have perpetrated on God’s people and the world] be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness [understanding] of his coming:

2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good [sociopaths and psychotics all],
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded [conceited and thinking there is no power above them], lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness [sitting in His seats], but denying the power thereof [which is far above theirs]: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning [knowing so much that isn’t true], and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres [cast down their rods, their words that became as venom from the mouths of snakes, killing and destroying those who followed their advice] withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith [as the leader of the world {Biden} claims to be Christian, without any proof as he {anti-Christ like} instead kills the unborn and robs God’s people of their wealth with which He has blessed them – having the mental acuity of a young child, degenerate and corrupt, acting as Obama’s puppet].
9 But they shall proceed no further [because the Father has raised a serpent of His own calling, and sent me for this purpose – the lowly to destroy the power {deception} of the mighty]: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the LORD delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them;
15 And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perish [‘abad], and no man lays it to heart: and merciful men are taken away [‘acaph], none considering that the righteous is taken away [‘acaph] from the evil to come.
2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
3 But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
4 Against whom do you sport yourselves? against whom make you a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are you not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.
5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the cliffs of the rocks?
6 Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion; they, they are your lot: even to them have you poured a drink offering, you have offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
7 Upon a lofty and high mountain have you set your bed: even thither went you up to offer sacrifice.
8 Behind the doors also and the posts have you set up your remembrance: for you have discovered yourself to another than me, and are gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them; you loved their bed where you saw it.
9 And you went to the king [Obama – the antichrist, who’s destroyed the world] with ointment, and didst increase your perfumes, and didst send your messengers far off, and didst debase yourself even unto hell.
10 You are wearied in the greatness of your way; yet said you not, There is no hope: you have found the life of your hand; therefore you were not grieved.
11 And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and you fear me not?
12 I will declare your righteousness, and your works; for they shall not profit you.
13 When you cry, let your companies deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that puts his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;

And today:

1 Thessalonians 3
8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the LORD.

Psalms 43
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For you are the God of my strength: why do you cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 O send out your light [understanding] and your truth [’emeth – which brings us to the victory]: let them [Your Truth] lead me; let them bring me unto your holy hill, and to your tabernacles.
4 Then will I go unto the altar of God [offering the sacrifice in which He delights], unto God [realized, which is] my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise you, O God my God.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health [yshuw’ah – Jesus] of my countenance [paniym – Your presence manifested in the flesh], and my God.
To the Chief Musician [Natsach – the Chief Overseer who, with these songs, leads into truth and victory]

Hear you the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.

18 – 21 July 2025

Hear you the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.

The above, from Jeremiah 19:3, is the LORD, in and through Jeremiah, speaking to the leaders of His people and those they’ve led into death and hell. He, in earlier verses, calls these men the sons of Hinnom, which is an appellative describing hell and its inhabitants. The conversation is at the entryway of the east gate, symbolizing the threshold between heaven and hell, manifested in whose words men listen to and follow.

Jeremiah 19
1 Thus says the LORD, Go and get a potter’s earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;
2 And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell you,
3 And say…

The earthen bottle is the ancient people in whom the LORD’s word is carried and from where it should be poured out (“proclaimed”), like a song repeated as received. Later, in verse 10, Jeremiah is told to break it in the sight of the men (ancients) who went with him, showing that they no longer hold the LORD’s word, and thereby (the earth broken without its proclamation), the kings and the people have died and gone into hell.

The word in the title rendered “tingle” is the four times used Hebrew word tsalal, meaning “(identical with 6749 through the idea of vibration); to tinkle, i.e. rattle together (as the ears in reddening with shame, or the teeth in chattering with fear).”

It (tsalal – Strong’s # 6750) is the effect of hearing the voice of the LORD, which is more deeply understood in its other uses and that of two identical words, one used twice (6751) and the other (6749) once.

The first use of tsalal (6750) comes in 1 Samuel 3:11, as Samuel finally realizes the voice he hears is the LORD, and he thereby “knows” him. Once he does, the LORD tells him that those who hear (shama’ – and obey) His voice, their ears shall tingle.

The word’s meaning is with affinity to the tsala’, a word used four times, speaking of being lame, and therefore wandering from the right path, in context, carried there by the word heard and obeyed.

Genesis 32
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there [with words] wrestled a man [I Am] with him [unknown] until the breaking of the day [until understanding comes].
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s [those still wrestling with Him and His word unknown] thigh [his works that carry him astray] was out of joint [he was alienated], as he wrestled with him.
26 And he [the LORD unknown] said, Let me go [shalach – loose Me – as in the Greek word apoluo], for the day breaks. And he [Jacob] said, I will not let you go [shalach – meaning “to send away, for, or out”], except you bless me [barak – the blessing that Jacob, in Genesis 49:25 & 28, tell his children, speaking of these last days {‘achariyth}, will come upon and through Joseph’s seed].
27 And he said unto him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob [supplanter].
28 And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel [sarah ‘el]: for as a prince have you power [sarah – to prevail, have power] with God and with men, and have prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray you, your name [Your identity]. And he said, Wherefore is it that you do ask after my name? And he blessed [barak – now come upon the seed that receive it] him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel [paniym ‘el – the presence of God]: for I have seen God face to face [paniym paniym – His identity with us, in us], and my life is preserved [natsal – the same as the Greek word harpazo, when we are, now, “caught up” into heaven, with the LORD in full understanding whereby He “pulls” us from the fires, as a brand “plucked” from them].
31 And as he passed over [‘abar – from death into life, from mortality into immortality] Penuel [paniym ‘el – in the presence of God] the sun rose [the Chrurch – rising from death into life with the LORD’s rising with us, in us] upon him, and he halted [tsala’ – realized he had strayed] upon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.

The other three times the word tsala’ appears are in Micah 4:6 & 7, and Zephaniah 3:19.

Micah 4
6 In that day, says the LORD, will I assemble her that halted [tsala’ – went lame and strayed], and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
7 And I will make her that halted [tsala’] a remnant [the elect], and her that was cast far off [into this nation, here and now] a strong nation [here making strong those who haven’t known Me]: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even forever.
8 And you, O tower [migdal – see Psalms 48 below] of the flock [He is building], the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto you shall it come, even the first dominion [of the LORD’s new creation]; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of [New Heavenly] Jerusalem.
9 Now why do you cry out aloud? is there no king in you? is your counsellor perished? for [birth] pangs have taken you as a woman in travail [to bring forth this ONE BODY of Christ as the first Generation of His new creation].
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the [the old and corrupt] city, and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to Babylon [the confusion brought by ignorant men that ruled the world into mass insanity]; there shall you be delivered [natsal – plucked from confusion’s fires]; there the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Now also many nations [of those who haven’t known Me] are gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the [threshing] floor [where good and evil are separated].
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn [qeren – the power coming from the hand of the LORD with us, in us] iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the LORD of the whole earth.

Psalms 48
1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by [‘abar – from death into life] together.
5 They saw it, and so they marveled [wondered what they were experiencing]; they were troubled [by their own ignorance], and hastened away.
6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 You break the ships of Tarshish [carrying God’s people as they flee from their vows] with an east wind [Your Spirit moving upon the waters, stirring the darkened deep].
8 As we have heard [shama’], so have we [now] seen in the city of the LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war], in the city of our God: God will establish [kuwn] it forever. Selah.
9 We have thought of your lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of your temple [Your people].
10 According to your name [Your identity in manifested with us, in us], O God, so is your praise unto the ends of the earth [ending the old and corrupt and beginning the new, wherein dwells righteousness]: your right hand [from where Your work comes – see Habakkuk 3:4 below] is full of righteousness.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your judgments.
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers [His ONE BODY] thereof.
13 Mark you well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that you may tell it to the generation following.
14 For this God is our God forever and ever: he will be our guide even unto [life from] death.

Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
3 Her princes within her are roaring lions [speaking their own words while they refuse His]; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow [in the darkness, their ignorance, not looking into the deepest parts of the things they consume].
4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
5 The just LORD is [present] in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning does he bring his judgment to light, he fails not; but the unjust know no shame.
6 I have cut off the nations: their towers [pinnah – by their turning away from the LORD, they] are desolate; I made their streets [their ways] waste, that none passes by [‘abar – none passed from death into life]: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no [living] man, that there is none inhabitant [in the places they’ve corrupted].
7 I said, Surely you will fear me, you will receive [My] instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished [paqad – as the Chief Overseer came to] them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
8 Therefore wait you upon me, says the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations [all those who haven’t known Me], that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them my indignation [za’am – which end in the destruction of the wicked], even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9 For then will I turn to the people a pure [uncorrupted] language [by which I Am seen], that they may all call upon the name [identity] of the LORD, to serve him with one consent [Yoked together by ONE Mind].
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia [the words that covered God’s people in darkness] my suppliants [who have cried to Me for help], even the daughter of my dispersed [My scattered Body], shall bring my offering [the knowledge of God, which I desire].
11 In that day shall you not be ashamed for all your doings, wherein you have transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of you them that rejoice in your pride, and you shall no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
12 I will also leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout [open your mouths I have filled with My word], O Israel; be glad and rejoice [realizing My presence] with all the heart [mind], O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 The LORD has taken away your judgments, he has cast out your enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of you: you shall not see evil any more.
16 In that day it shall be said to [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, Fear you not: and to Zion, Let not your hands [work] be slack.
17 The LORD your God in the midst of you is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over you with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over you with singing.
18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of you, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict you: and I will save her that halted [tsala’ – was lame and went astray], and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land [kol ‘erets – the whole earth] where they have been put to shame.
20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you [into My ONE BODY]: for I will make you a name [My identity] and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, says the LORD.

The final time the word tsalal (6750) appears is in Habakkuk 3:16.

The following, ending with Psalms 18, is the complete post from 28 February 2018, with today’s additions in double brackets.

You [LORD] went forth for the Salvation of Your People, even for Salvation with Your Anointed; You Wounded the head out of the house of the wicked, by Discovering the Foundation unto the neck.

The title is found in Habakkuk 3:13, amid a description of the LORD appearing (self-generating at will) to Judge the earth. Habakkuk begins his report by answering the question asked several times in the prior post, saying he has heard the LORD. He then acknowledges he understands this is the LORD reviving His work, making known His will (plan), which is His wrath.

Habakkuk also asks for the mercy He knows the LORD always shows to those who hear and conform to His will. The mercy of the LORD is to pull man from the fires he has created, and the consequence of His wrath is logically seen as those refusing to hear, by choice, reject the hand that has come to pull them out.

The verses continue to speak of the hand of the one the LORD has anointed, and it tells of the power of the LORD hidden therein. It shows the brightness of his coming, and the horns coming from it are the power. The Hebrew word translated “horn” is qeren, meaning rays of light; and it is a horn that holds the anointing oil.

The name Habakkuk means to clasp, as in to hold or embrace. The name is speaking of this same hand of God, the hand pulling (harpazo – Jude 1:23 & 1 Thessalonians 4:17) us from the fires is same hand from where are sent these rays of light. (Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.)

The name rendered Shigionoth, appearing in Habakkuk 3:1, is from the Hebrew word shgiyah, from the word shagah; words telling of those who have strayed and misled others, and are thereby the source of erring. These are those to whom the hand of God comes, to show His mercy to those choosing to hear and repent. I am sent for the salvation of the world; not to condemn but to correct, and to those that receive it, it is the power to become the children of God. (Only those reading prior posts will understand the full scope of what is here said.)

Habakkuk 3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
2 O LORD, I have heard your speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
3 God came from Teman [[the work of His right hand]], and the Holy One from mount Paran [[giving clarity]]. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
4 And his brightness [[understanding]] was as the light; he had horns [[qeren – as rays of light]] coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5 Before him [[paniym – at His presence]] went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations [[gowy – those who haven’t known Him]]; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan [[darkness]] in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian [[hiding those causing endless “strife” among God’s people]] did tremble.
8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers [[the means by which words are carried to the sea: humanity at large]]? was your anger against the rivers? was your wrath against the sea [[humanity at large]], that you did ride upon your horses and your chariots of [[strength that carries Him into the battle]] of salvation?
9 Your bow [[Judah, the elect remnant]] was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even your word. Selah. You did cleave the earth with rivers [[Your words here flowing from a Rock: Christ in me]].
10 The mountains [[governments of church and state]] saw you, and they trembled [[chuwl – meaning “to twist or whirl (in a circular or spiral manner), i.e. (specifically) to dance, to writhe in pain (especially of parturition) or fear; figuratively, to wait, to pervert]]: the [[these]] overflowing of the water passed by [[‘abar – bringing the dead to life]]: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high [[exalting His work]].
11 The sun [[the corrupt church institution: government]] and moon [[corrupt civil government]] stood still in their habitation [[stopped their corrupting works in their institution]]: at the light of your arrows [[Ephraim, the first generation of His people in this new creation]] they went, and at the shining of your glittering spear [[giving this light: understanding]].
12 You did march through the land [[‘erets – the earth]] in indignation [[za’am – which ends with the destruction of the wicked]], you did thresh the heathen in anger.
13 You went forth for the salvation of your people, even for salvation with your anointed; you wounded the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the [[corrupt]] foundation unto the neck [[where words are formed]]. Selah.
14 You did strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind [[from where the voices of power are heard]] to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
15 You did walk through the sea with your horses [[among your people with strength]], through the heap of great waters [[these words]].
16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at [[tsalal – realizing how far all people have strayed]] the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he comes up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the [[ONE]] fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Yet I will rejoice [[realizing the LORD is present with us, in us]] in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The LORD God is my strength [[His understanding received]], and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon my high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

In this same context is the word qeren used in 1 Samuel 16:1 & 13 to tell of the “horn” filled with oil and carried by Samuel to anoint the one – of the LORD’s choosing. The name Samuel is from the words shama’, meaning to hear intelligently (as those in error heard Habakkuk and were pulled from the fire to the LORD), and ‘el, meaning God. It is telling Samuel as one who hears God, and acts as commanded.

1 Samuel 16
1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill your horn [[qeren]] with oil, and go, I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite [from the house of bread]: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take a heifer with you, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.
3 And call Jesse [[with affinity to the word yarash]] to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do: and you shall anoint unto me him whom I name unto you.
4 And Samuel did that which the LORD spoke, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest you peaceably?
5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD’s anointed is before him.
7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither has the LORD chosen this.
9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither has the LORD chosen this.
10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD has not chosen these.
11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all your children? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and, behold, he keeps the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah [[Arimathaea]].
14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
15 And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles you.
16 Let our LORD now command your servants, which are before you, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on a harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well.
17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite [the house of bread], that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.
19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David your son, which is with the sheep.
20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.
21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armor-bearer.
22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray you, stand before me; for he has found favor in my sight.
23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took a harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

This horn and the anointing, and what it entitles those to who God chooses, are found in the first, and only time the word qeren appears in Genesis. It is the word used in Genesis 22:13 to tell of the “horns” by which the ram the LORD provided is caught in the thicket. This is the ram that died so the sons of Abraham could live, here as if crowned with thorns, the crown of the king the LORD chooses.

Genesis 22
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns [[qeren]]: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh [[Jehovah sees, the latter word said to be from ra’ah {7200} meaning to see – its more logically from yarash, meaning “to occupy (by driving out previous tenants, and possessing in their place); by implication, to seize, to rob, to inherit; also to expel, to impoverish, to ruin”]] as it is said to this day, In the mount [[the new government]] of the LORD it shall be seen [[ra’ah]].
15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, says the LORD, for because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son:
17 That in blessing [[barak]] I will bless you [[barak]], and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand [[chowl, meaning “sand (as round or whirling particles);” from chuwl, rendered “trembling” in Habakkuk 3:10 above.”]] which is upon the sea shore [[the “lips” of God’s people at large, the same word, saphah, rendered lips in Habakkuk 3:16 above]]; and your seed shall possess [[yarash – as in Jehovah yarash]] the gate [[the mouths]] of his enemies;
18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed [[barak]]; because you have obeyed [[shama’]] my voice.

Friends, we stand on the shoulders of the true giants who have come before us, the martyrs and witnesses who have heard the LORD and saw the promise far off, yet acted, knowing they would be perfected with our completing what the LORD had begun in them. Now is the time, today is the day!

Philippians 1
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my grace.
8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
10 That you may approve things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12 But I would you should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
14 And many of the brethren in the LORD, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretense, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
27 Only let your conversation be as it becomes the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30 Having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Philippians 2
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil you my joy, that you be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputing:
15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause also do you joy, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the LORD Jesus to send Timotheus [[I Am]] shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.
23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24 But I trust in the LORD that I also myself shall come shortly.
25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus [a wandering star, now recovered], my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that you had heard that he had been sick.
27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Receive him therefore in the LORD with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the LORD. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my LORD: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence [[in this conversation]] also we look for the Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Psalms 18
1 I will love you, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn [[qeren]] of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him [[paniym – into His presence]], even into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled [[ra’ash – the shaking that brings the dead bones together, and causes men to consider carefully the words they speak]]; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly [[as an eagle, the final face of the LORD unfolding presence manifested]] upon the wings of the wind [[the words heard from His Spirit moving]].
11 He made darkness [[men’s ignorance]] his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters [[words not fully understood]] and thick clouds [[where understanding is held when it left the earth, from where it is sent]] of the skies.
12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed [[‘abar – his understanding sent to bring the dead to life]], hail stones and coals of fire.
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire [[sent against the current crop of corrupt leaders]].
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows [[Ephraim with His word]], and scattered them; and he shot out lightning [[understanding from the cloud]], and discomfited them.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the [[corrupt]] foundations of the world were discovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many [[corrupt]] waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with an upright man you will show yourself upright;
26 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the froward you will show yourself froward.
27 For you will save the afflicted people; but will bring down high looks.
28 For you will light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by you I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me upon my high places.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has made me great.
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 For you have girded me with strength unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.
48 He delivered me from my enemies: yea, you lifted me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto your name.
50 Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

Friends, I tell you again, not many leaders of God’s people are saved. They are those who make merchandise of God’s people, buying and selling souls to fill their bellies, whose god is their belly.

Nehemiah 13
1 On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite [who’ve scattered God’s people into separated {disjointed} tribes] and the Moabite [those whose mouths are the gates holding God’s people in death and hell] should not come into the congregation of God forever;
2 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water [this word of God], but hired Balaam [not of God’s people] against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing [braka – also used five times, in Genesis 49:25, 26 & 28, speaking of it coming upon Joseph’s seed in these last days].
3 Now it came to pass, when they had heard [shama’ – and obeyed] the law, that they separated from Israel all the [enemies] mixed multitude.

17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the sabbath day [the LORD’s interruption to correct back onto the right way]?
18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet you bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark [tsalal {6751} – by following the words of ignorant men mixed among us] before [paniym] the sabbath [the presence of the LORD manifest in His interruption, in the conversation above His mercy seat, through which comes His correction], I commanded that the gates [the mouths of ignorant men] should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath [the LORD’s correction]: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden [the ignorant words of men] be brought in on the sabbath day.
20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge you about the wall? if you do so again, I will lay hands [this wrath of God] on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.
22 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves [of the corruption], and that they should come and keep the gates [guard and protect against the words of ignorance entering], to sanctify [declare holy] the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of your mercy [in the conversation above your mercy seat].

1 Samuel 3
10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for your servant hears [shama’ – and obeys Your voice as Your presence with me speaking].
11 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that hears [shama’ – obeys] it [as My voice] shall tingle [tsalal {6750}, realizing the word of all others are darkness].
12 In that day I will perform against Eli [the old and corrupt priesthood] all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end [kalah].
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows; because his sons made themselves vile [cursed God], and he restrained them not. [1 Samiel 2:12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.]
14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering [which the sons of Eli robbed from the LORD and consumed raw] forever.
15 And Samuel [who heard the voice of the LORD] lay until the morning [until he understood it and rose up], and opened the doors of the house of the LORD [to let His light enter]. And Samuel feared to show Eli [the priests] the vision [of God whom he saw].
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
17 And he said, What is the thing that the LORD has said unto you? I pray you hide it not from me: God do so to you, and more also, if you hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto you.
18 And Samuel told him every whit [every thought, as I Am telling the current crop of corrupt and blind priests], and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seems him good.
19 And Samuel [those who with me hear the voice of the LORD speaking, knowing it is His presence manifested with us, in us] grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
20 And all Israel from Dan [the time when this judgment sprang forth] even to Beersheba [the well of sevenfold oaths – when all the LORD’s promises are manifested into fulfillment] knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh [as foretold in Genesis 49:10, in these last days]: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel [to those who hear and obey His voice] in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days [‘achariyth].
2 Gather yourselves together [at this harvest], and hear [shama’ – obey {the first things that befall them: they’re scattered and not obeying}], you sons of Jacob; and hearken [shama’] unto Israel your father.

8 Judah [the leaders God chooses], you are he whom your brethren shall praise: your hand shall be in the neck of your enemies [stopping the words formed there]; your father’s children shall bow down before you.
9 Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, you are gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion [the second face of the unfolding presence of God, roaring His word], and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet [speaking of the Davidic king line], until Shiloh come [meaning peace and tranquility – the one {Joseph’s seed – the one separated} from who it will again flow – see Ezekiel 21:27 and the overturning]; and unto him shall the gathering [yiqqahah] of the people be.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine [to this life that flows from His teaching], and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine [this is speaking of the lowly {Zechariah 9:9}, God’s elect remnant, outside the established sects, bound until Shiloh comes, when they are loosed]; he washed his garments [of corruption] in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes [this wrath against those who’ve rejected His word]:

18 (I have waited for [qavah – expected] your salvation [yshuw’ah – Joshua, Jesus, the child of Joseph], O LORD.)

22 Joseph is a fruitful bough [parah ben – fruitful son], even a fruitful bough [parah ben – fruitful son] by a well [a tree of life by these waters of God]; whose branches run over the wall [the wall of lies men have created and teach]:
23 The archers [ba’al – the gods, lords of this world, whose teaching has blinded all from seeing the Father, in the son, the seed of the woman who brings forth the man child – see Revelation 12:17] have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of your father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless [barak] you with blessings [brakah] of heaven above, blessings [brakah] of the deep that lies under [the deep meaning that lies below the surface], blessings [brakah] of the breasts, and of the womb [seed, the son]:
26 The blessings [brakah] of your father have prevailed above the blessings [brakah] of my progenitors [all those who have come before us, and were only blessed with part of what is perfected in our return to the LORD] unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they [these blessings] shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate [naziyr – as in Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph] from his brethren.

Exodus 15
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 [is His identity].
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 [tsalal {6749}, by their words they condemn themselves to the darkened deep] as lead in the mighty waters [this word of God with which they wrestle to their own destruction].
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 [from where comes Your power], the earth swallowed them.
13 You in your mercy [checed – lovingkindness] have led forth the people which you have redeemed: you have guided them in your strength unto your holy habitation.

Ezekiel 31
3 Behold, the Assyrian [the communists, as a serpent in My garden] was a cedar in Lebanon [upright, and purity seen on high] with fair branches, and with a shadowing [tsalal {6751}] shroud [blocking the light of heaven], and of a high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
4 The waters [enticing words] made him great, the deep [his understanding of the ways of darkness] set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
5 Therefore his height was exalted [over all the governments of church and state] above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
6 All the fowls of heaven [those risen into places where understanding should be found] made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow [darkness] dwelt all great nations.
7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters [flowing into all humanity at large].
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him [and all listened and obeyed his words, and exalted them above God].
10 Therefore thus says the LORD God; Because you have [in pride] lifted up yourself in height, and he has shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height [in pride];
11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one [‘ayil – the ram of Genesis 22:13, caught in the thicket, the gathering of thorns and briers, misleaders and deceivers] of the heathen [gowy – who haven’t known Me]; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.

Psalms 32
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 When I kept silent, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5 I acknowledge my sin unto you, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto you in a time when you mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near unto him.
7 You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with my eye.
9 Be you not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto you.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous: and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.

Joseph of Arimathaea, an honorable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

13 – 15 July 2025


Joseph of Arimathaea, an honorable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

The LORD begins today, above in Mark 15:43, speaking of the preparation of the dead body of Christ (here and now, dead in hell) by which (providence) we are resurrected. Before commenting further on the above, the LORD takes us back to the following post, from 22 October 2022 (which includes portions of the post from 26 February 2020), which ends with Psalms 26 (with additions in double brackets).

And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

The LORD begins today in John 19:37 above, speaking of the dead body of Christ, the following verses telling of where it’s (metaphysically alluding to the physical) been held, leading us to the means of its resurrection (the Father pouring out His grace).

John 19
38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight.
40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, wherein was never man yet laid.
42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulcher was nigh at hand.

The above names and places, when spiritually discerned (understanding received from God the Father), speak of ideas we’ve previously discussed. (The LORD continually adding greater depth is His glory unfolding before His people, leading us to the epiphany, the moment He is realized, and the hoped-for is again seen.)

As we know, the resurrection is of the king line and the kingdom of heaven, in/through the seed of Joseph, when the ONE BODY springs forth to life after the LORD has poured out His correction: the love of the truth. We have seen this bringing forth children is what Rachel, in Jeremiah 31:15, in Ramah (another name of Arimathaea – meaning mountain of the gift: of God’s grace) is heard lamenting. After this pouring out of the gift, the child brought forth is Ephraim (the fruit of Joseph, the bough by the well – the peace of God’s people: corrected into it through Shiloh, the shepherd and stone).

The name Nicodemus (who came to Jesus by night – in ignorance asking for understanding, as a child only knowing childish things) means “victorious among his people.” The Thayer’s Greek Lexicon says it means “conqueror.” He (in the passage above) is preparing the dead body (the church), binding with it the odors of life, held therein when the body becomes ignorant, disappears from the earth, and is reserved in the cloud (from where the LORD is revealed in the resurrection of the ONE BODY),

Romans 8
21 Because the creature [the body without the spirit] itself also shall be delivered [eleutheroo – used only seven times: initially in John 8:32 & 36, the LORD saying “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you ‘free,'” and “If the Son, therefore, shall make you ‘free,’ you shall be free indeed”] from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty [eleutheria] of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails [to bring forth this truth] in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits of the Spirit [this initial baptism into the LORD’s death], even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption [to become the children of God through His correcting us away from corruption], to wit, the redemption of our body [purchasing us out of sin: hamartia: missing the mark, straying from the course to the prize that now appears].
24 For we are saved by hope [of reaching the prize: the redemption of the body]: but hope that is seen is not hope [no longer hope, but the manifestation]: for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not [yet], then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities [our lack of strength, our inability to give the understanding only God gives through His work, in His time when He makes all things beautiful]: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit [working in us and through us] itself [the LORD Himself yet unknown] makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered [explained without the LORD revealing them].
27 And he that searches the hearts [the foundations of the mind] knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God [which is the redemption of His ONE BODY].
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God [keeping His word and commandments without corruption and perversion], to them who are the called according to his purpose [prothesis – this exposition: the showbread, the children born in Bethlehem: into the family {beth} of showbread {lechem}, according to the scriptures].
29 For whom he did foreknow [proginosko], he also did predestinate [proorizo] to be conformed [summorphos – together transformed] to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn [prototokos – the first to be produced {tikto or teko} from seed in the new earth – another keyword, see below] among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate [proorizo – before ordained {to understand – proginosko} to reach the mark, the horizo {horizon}], them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified [dikaioo – rendered just and innocent]: and whom he justified, them he also glorified [showing it, the thesis, is His glory in us working].
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for [huper – His glory manifested over us, in the conversation above the mercy seat] us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things [these treasures sent from heaven]?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect [Judah, His elect remnant, the new crop of leaders He’s raised first]? It is God that justifies [dikaioo – renders us just and innocent].
34 Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God [the power of God to resurrect the dead], who also makes intercession [entugchano – in the conversation] for [huper – over or above] us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love [agape – freely giving the treasures God the Father has given me] of Christ? shall [the now present] tribulation [thlipsis], or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors [hupernikos, “to vanquish beyond, i.e. gain a decisive victory,” get the victory through the conversation over us] through him that loved us [agapao – gave, in this conversation, the treasures from heaven, as received from the Father in me working].
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature [creation], shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our LORD.

The word rendered “sepulcher,” in John 19:41 & 42 above, is the Greek word mnemeion, meaning “a remembrance, i.e. cenotaph (place of interment).” It is not only the word used to speak of the place the dead body of Christ was laid, but also of Lazarus (the priesthood), from where he is raised, and the place of the Legions of unclean spirits. John uses it, in John 5:28, quoting the LORD saying those there, in these “graves,” will hear His voice (the voice of the Father manifesting Himself in the flesh) and come out from among them (the unclean dead therein).

John 5
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater [good] 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 [timao – Tim] the Son, even as they honor [timao – Tim] the Father. He that honors [timao – Tim] not the Son honors [timao – Tim] not the Father which has sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that heareth 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 [in this resurrection].
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 [exousia] 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 [mnemeion – to life by remembrance] shall hear his voice [the Father speaking through me, manifesting His presence in the flesh],
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 [the Father’s voice speaking to me], I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.

The word rendered “pierced,” in the title verse, is the twice used Greek word ekkenteo, said to mean “to transfix,” from the preposition ek, meaning through which it comes, and kentron, a five times used word meaning, “from kenteo (to prick); a point (“center”), i.e. a sting (figuratively, poison) or goad (figuratively, divine impulse).”

It (kentron), in Revelation 9:10, is the word John uses to describe the “stings” of the tails of the scorpions that come from the smoke of the bottomless pit (the endless fall away from God) that darkened the air. We understand the “tail” tells of the consequences that follow the strike of the scorpion, the venom that rots the inside (the minds of men who are struck). It is from this place the LORD calls us, with the shout of the archangel, the trumpet of His voice, into understanding in the cloud, and the air He’s cleared of the smoke.

It (kentron) also appears in 1 Corinthians 15:55 & 56, there telling us it’s the “sting” of death, the power it has over us, the venom that has corrupted the minds of men who no longer remember they are immortal. It is over this “sting,” and thereby over death, our victory comes.

1 Corinthians 15
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown [as seed] in corruption [in the earth]; it is raised in incorruption [awakened by full understanding: heaven]:
43 It is sown in dishonor [atimia – without knowing Tim]; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul [upon and by whom death came]; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit [bringing dead souls to life by remembrance].
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the LORD from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy [corruption], we shall also bear the image of the heavenly [incorruption, with clear understanding].
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood [the corruption of man] cannot inherit the kingdom of God [the incorruption in heaven: full understanding with the mind of Christ]; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed [allasso],
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [allasso].
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is your sting [kentron – the venom of men’s corruption of all truth, wickedness that is now silenced, none any longer listening to their misleading]? O grave, where is your victory?
56 The sting [kentron] of death is sin [hamartia – missing the mark, straying from the course to the prize]; and the strength of sin is the law [the written word which men have corrupted].
57 But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh, clarifying His word by removing men’s corruption].
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the LORD, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the LORD.

Hebrews 1
10 And, You, LORD, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:
11 They [the earth and heavens corrupted by the venom of men] shall perish; but you remain [incorruptible]; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed [allasso – when corruption is silenced by the presence of the incorruptible]: but you are the same [teaching the unchangeable foundations], and your years [of Your manifestation of Yourself] shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool [which is the work of the Father]?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister [the word from the mouth of God] for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

The only other time the word ekkenteo appears is in Revelation 1:7, telling of the men who’ve “pierced” the LORD (with their sting, the venom of their corrupt words and work) looking upon (again seeing) Him.

Revelation 1
3 Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear [the voice of the LORD in] the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 John [the dove, who understood the time and times] to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 And from Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh, as the perpetual son, Joshua the son of Nun], who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten [prototokos] of the dead, and the prince [waiting for the throne, until the Father makes His enemies his footstool] of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And has made us kings and priests [If the Father says we are all kings and priests, how say you I Am not a king and priest?] unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion [kratos – strength and power in His works in me] forever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he comes with clouds [with understanding]; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced [ekkenteo – corrupted understanding by which we see] him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail [this is the mourning spoken of in Zechariah 12] because of him. Even so [[be it]], Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the LORD, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

The title verse, and Revelation 1:7, have their origin in Zechariah 12:11, speaking of this moment of the LORD manifesting His presence through the understanding He has given us, before the eyes of the world.

Zechariah 12
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, says the LORD, which stretched forth the heavens [this full understanding], and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man [putting life] within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem [God’s people at large, now under attack by all the corrupt world powers] a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [the elect remnant] and against Jerusalem [all God’s people at large].
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, says the LORD, I will smite every horse [all the powers of the earth] with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon [when the LORD reveals His arm against the high places that mislead the world, who are ignorant of Him and His coming] in the valley of Megiddon [from the lowly who known, because the Father has shown us, this appointed time of Armageddon against the high places – har Megiddon: this “mountain” of transfiguration where we planned the “rendezvous”].

The word rendered “astonishment,” in verse 4 above, is timmahown, meaning consternation: dismay, alarm, or agitation, which cause confusion and hopeless panic. It appears one other time, in Deuteronomy 28:28, there giving deeper context to its use above.

Deuteronomy 28
28 The LORD shall smite you with madness [mass delusion: insanity], and blindness, and astonishment [timmahown] of heart [[mind]]:
29 And you shall grope at noonday, as the blind grope in darkness [in ignorance of their surroundings], and you shall not prosper in your [own] ways: and you shall be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man [only the LORD revealing Himself] shall save you [none of the powers of the corrupt earth, who’ve led it into blindness to the LORD, can save you].

The following is from the post of 26 February 2020, just when the mass delusion and panic began their final push to destroy the earth:

When Luke tells of Simeon “waiting” he used the Greek word prosdechomai, meaning to receive for one’s self. In the previous post, we saw this meaning in the Hebrew words ra’ah ‘eth, translated “consider” in Ecclesiastes 7:13, “Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he has made crooked?” The word ra’ah means to see, and the word ‘eth is never translated because it is said to be inexpressible in the English language. It is describing things that must be intelligently (with knowledge) experienced to be understood, such as the work of God which reveals Him.

Luke uses the word prosdechomai in describing the things that must be experienced to be understood. The first is the redemption of Jerusalem, the second is the appearance of the LORD, the third is why the LORD receives sinners, and the last is the kingdom of God.

Luke 2
36 And there was one Anna [grace], a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel [the face {presence} of God], of the tribe of Aser [blessing {gift}]: she was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;
37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fasting and prayers night and day.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the LORD, and spoke of him to all them that looked [prosdechomai] for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the LORD, they returned into Galilee [the LORD’s inner circle], to their own city Nazareth [from the Hebrew word nazar, meaning to hold aloof or to separate {from what defiles} – selah].
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

Luke 12
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell that you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 And you yourselves like unto men that wait [prosdechomai] for their LORD, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the LORD when he comes shall find watching: truly I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the good-man of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Be you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, LORD, speak you this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 And the LORD said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his LORD shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat [[this deep understanding]] in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his LORD when he comes shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.

Luke 15
1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receives [prosdechomai – wait for, long-suffers, for the repentance of] sinners, and eats with them.
3 And he spoke this parable unto them, saying,
4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

The final use of prosdechomai is in telling where the LORD’s dead body laid, with Joseph of Arimathaea (separated from his people by the sin, erroneous teaching and misleading of those who refuse to be correct away from error). Arimathaea is telling where He is now found by His brothers, in His grace in receiving us even while we are still blinded to Him by our sins. Arimathaea is the Hebrew words har, mountain, and mattan, meaning gift (Mattanyah – the gift of Jehovah – the last king who will be the first, who the grace, gift, blessing, of God brings to life).

Luke 23
49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee [the LORD’s inner circle], stood afar off, beholding these things.
50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:
51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited [prosdechomai] for the kingdom of God.
52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
54 And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on.
55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.
56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.

When we are told of “waiting” to understand, by experiencing these things for ourselves, they are referring to Genesis 49:19 above, which parenthetically says, “I have waited for your salvation, O LORD.” It’s speaking of the moment God’s people realize His presence and turn away from their idols to Him. Isaiah refers to this moment in Isaiah 49:23, a chapter also (in verse 8) telling of the acceptable time, when the LORD has heard us and answered.

Isaiah 49
8 Thus says the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you: and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
9 That you may say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
12 Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim [thorns – from corrupt leadership].
13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD has comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.
14 But Zion said, The LORD has forsaken me, and my LORD has forgotten me.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget you.
16 Behold, I have graven you upon the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
17 Your children shall make haste; your destroyers and they that made you waste shall go forth of you.
18 Lift up your eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live, says the LORD, you shall surely clothe you with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on you, as a bride does.
19 For your waste and your desolate places, and the land of your destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed you up shall be far away.
20 The children which you shall have, after you have lost the other, shall say again in your ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
21 Then shall you say in your heart, Who has begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?
22 Thus says the LORD God, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
23 And kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
25 But thus says the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contends with you, and I will save your children.
26 And I will feed them that oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am your Savior and your Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

Isaiah 50
1 Thus says the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have you sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother [teachers] put away.
2 Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinks, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4 The LORD God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as the learned.
5 The LORD God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 For the LORD God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 He is near that justifies me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is my adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Behold, the LORD God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10 Who is among you that fears the LORD, that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks in darkness, and has no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
11 Behold, all you that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light [your own erroneous understanding] of your fires, and in the sparks that you have kindled. This shall you have of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.

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

The word “craved” in the title verse is aiteo, meaning “of uncertain derivation; to ask (in genitive case):–ask, beg, call for, crave, desire, require.”

It (aiteo) is referring us to its two earlier uses in Mark, in Mark 15:6 & 8, rendered “desire” when speaking of the Jews (the intellectually corrupted, morbidly pragmatic, Machiavellian, leader class of God’s people) who (in part of the greatest betrayal in history) “desired” Barabbas (“son of his father or master,” who we’re told is a robber, who committed murder during an insurrection) be released instead of Jesus.

Mark 15
32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calls Elijah.
36 And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar [their bitter words], and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation [of their awakening], that is, the day before the sabbath [when the light comes before the interruption is realized, when the LORD, intervening for correction, stops the words and works of men],
43 Joseph of Arimathaea [Ephraim and Manasseh, the children of Joseph, those who’ve forgotten God, their own identity, upon whom this second blessing has come to awaken them in Ramah], an honorable counsellor [not respecting the corruption of men], which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate marveled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulcher [the church institutions, where the dead are held] which was hewn out of a rock [the mouths of men, from where His manifested presence disappeared], and rolled a stone [the words of men, with which they hoped to keep Him] unto the door of the sepulcher [among the dead]. [Why do you seek the living among the dead?]

When verse 34 above quotes Psalms 22:1, it is the LORD referring us to the passage declaring where He was then going and where He is now found. Then and now, the experts, the LORD’s enemies and accusers, misinterpreted who He was calling upon. They fail to realize He was telling of His faith in His Father (not Elijah) taking Him into this time where He is loosed, and now made apparent, alive in me, in us.

When Hebrews 13:23 tells us to “know brother Timothy is [I Am] set at liberty” the Greek word (rendered “set at liberty”) is apoluo (meaning loosed away), the same word used as Pilate declares he has the power “to release” Jesus, and when telling of the custom “to release” (by popular vote) one prisoner.

The quoted Hebrew words, from Psalms 22:1 (“My God, my God, why you forsaken me?”), in the original text are – ‘El ‘El lo’mah ‘azab, meaning: God, God, [they know] not what [that you have] loosed [me]. The words that follow in the original text are: rachowq yshuw’ah, meaning: [into this time] far off [when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power, to be a] deliverer [Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh]. His flesh (one who becomes two, and then as many as the sand of the seashore) is the vail torn in two, behind which is revealed Jehovah’s presence.

The words lo’ mah (lama), “know not,” are referring to what Luke describes hearing the LORD say from the cross: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”

The word sabachthani, is more thoroughly explained as ‘azab chatham, the sentence thereby saying: they know not that (lo’ mah) I Am loosed (‘azab) because it is sealed until the time of the end (chatham, with intentional affinity to chathan: bridgroom).

Here is the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definition of chatham: to close up; especially to seal:–make an end, mark, seal (up), stop.

And the definition of ‘azab is: to loosen, i.e., relinquish, permit, etc.”

Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the LORD God is upon me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek [who shall inherit the earth]; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort [lead into all truth] all that mourn [and repent];
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might [in them] be glorified.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 But you shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God [from whom His word flows]: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you boast yourselves.
7 For your shame you shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion [inheritance]: therefore in their land [‘erets – the earth they inherit] they shall possess the double: everlasting joy [realizing the LORD with us, in us] shall be unto them.
8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD has blessed [Ephraim – meaning both double ruin and double blessing, an appellative of God’s people in this last generation].
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom [chathan] decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the LORD God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Psalms 22
1 My God, my God, why have [lo’ mah] you forsaken me [‘azab]? why are you so far [rachowq] from helping me [yshuw’ah], and from the words of my roaring [preaching Your word as commanded, as the second face of the LORD’s unfolding presence]?
2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but you hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 But you are holy, O you that inhabit the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in you: they trusted, and you did deliver them.
5 They cried unto you, and were delivered: they trusted in you, and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon you from the womb: you are my God from my mother’s belly.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; and you have brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs [endlessly barking in the darkness: this time when total ignorance of God covers the earth] have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 But be not you far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste you to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion’s mouth [those preaching corruption in Your name]: for you have heard me from the horns of the unicorns [the One and Only true power, Your Almighty presence].
22 I will declare your name [Your identity alive, resurrected, in me] unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise you.
23 You that fear the LORD, praise him; all you the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you the seed of Israel.
24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid [cathar – see Psalms 19:6 & 12 below] his face [paniym – presence] from him [from me]; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows [obeying Him as I vowed I would, preaching the word He’s given me, declaring it is Him alive with me, in me] before them that fear him.
26 The meek [who will inherit the earth] shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that [diligently] seek him: your heart shall live forever.
27 All the ends of the world [ending the old and beginning the new] shall remember [zakar] and turn [shuwb – return] unto the LORD [Jehovah]: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before You [paniym – in Your presence].
28 For the kingdom is the LORD’s: and he is the governor among the nations [all the world that hasn’t known Him].
29 All they that be fat [who prosper under the LORD’s governance] upon the earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust [descend, choose to remain, in the hell, the ruin they’ve created] shall bow before him [paniym – in His presence]: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the LORD for a generation [the first of His new creation].
31 They shall come [from death into life], and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born [into His new creation], that he has done this.

Isaiah 62
1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace [chashah – I will not be silent], and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest [shaqat – repose, sleep], until the righteousness thereof go forth [by the voice of my awakening] as brightness [understanding], and the salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh] thereof as a lamp that burn [as a flame from My mouth showing the way to those in darkness: ignorance].
2 And the Gentiles [those who haven’t known the present LORD] shall see your righteousness, and all kings your [the LORD’s] glory [as His presence manifested in our flesh]: and you shall be called by a new name [His identity before unknown in us], which the mouth of the LORD shall name [His name, His identity, when we join with Him as ONE flesh BODY].
3 You [His ONE BODY joined with Him in His work, His war to exalt His voice above all others] shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD [crowning us by His work revealing His identity, His glorious presence, with us, in us], and a royal diadem in the hand [the work] of your God.
4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken [Hebrews 13, speaking of His revealing what has always been, “for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. 6 So that we may boldly say, The LORD is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.]; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah [“My delight is in her,” speaking of God’s people historically using this name that only appears once elsewhere, of the mother of {raising up – teaching} Manasseh {meaning he forgot the LORD God}, the king who brought in idols and put them in God’s place; here become repentant and remembering God], and your land Beulah [ba’al – meaning joined with the LORD who is the head, has dominion over, the BODY]: for the LORD delights in you, and your land [‘erets – the earth] shall be married [ba’al – under having joined with the head].
5 For as a young man marries [ba’al] a virgin, so shall your sons marry [ba’al] you [in the LORD’s OND flesh BODY]: and as the bridegroom [chathan – speaking of the revealed one; here and above are the only two times the word appears in Isaiah] rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
6 I have set [paqad – overseers seeing as I see] watchmen [shamar] upon your walls [as your protection, seeing what is coming and warning against it, which the enemies have and do violently oppose and resist {as the identity of Satan is manifested in them, in their words and works against humanity: against life, liberty, and property}], O [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [My people as My shining city on a hill that can never be hidden], which shall never hold their peace [chashah – never keep silent] day nor night: you that make mention [zakar – remember, me and all those joined in this bond] of the LORD [this is the part the current watchmen fail to realize is necessary, to mention it is the LORD alive in us, present with us, speaking and working the Salvation of His people who receive Him], keep not silence [dmiy – mention the present LORD; “if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light {understanding} in them.”],
7 And give him no rest [dmiy], till he establishs [kuwn], and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth [‘erets].
8 The LORD has sworn [shaba’ – completed] by his right hand [His power coming from there as rays of light], and by the arm of his strength [this work giving His understanding], Surely I will no more give your corn to be meat [this nourishment of this deep meaning] for your enemies [who, with intention, corrupt it]; and the sons of the stranger [whom I haven’t known or spoken to] shall not drink your wine [this word I sent to change men’s mind, returning them to reality and sanity, the joy of realizing My presence], for the which you have labored [faithfully and diligently seeking this understanding]:
9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD [for His life-giving gift]; and they that have brought it [the elements of understanding] together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10 Go through, go through the gates [out of hell and into the kingdom of heaven, where all things are understood, in the LORD’s ONE BODY]; prepare you the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones [the misleaders whose words cause the people to stumble]; lift up [ruwm – raise, exalt above all others] a standard [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted, as Moses lifted the fiery serpent in the wilderness, as the LORD commanded] for the people.
11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed unto the end of the [old and corrupt] world [‘erets – earth], Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold [see as the LORD sees], your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him [paniym – declares His presence].
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

Psalms 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament [this exposition] shows his handywork [the work of His hand, in which His glory is revealed].
2 Day unto day [understanding sent to give understand, giving His light, He] utters speech [through His children], and night unto night [in this time when ignorance covers the earth in darkness, He speaks to the ignorant, to] show knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their [His children’s] voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their [His children’s] words to the end of the [old] world. In them [His words in His children] has he set a tabernacle for the sun [His dwelling place in His people, whose rising with Him is the new day come],
5 Which is as a bridegroom [chathan – the only time the word appears in the Psalms, speaking of the covered One revealed] coming out of his chamber [us; to join with all His people at large], and rejoices as a strong man [the Almighty] to run a race [this course set before us].
6 His going forth is from the end of the [old and corrupt] heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it [ending the old and beginning the new]: and there is nothing hid [cathar – meaning “to hide (by covering)”] from the heat thereof [all His treasure, hidden as if frozen in a Stone, are revealed by Him in this trial by fire].
7 The law of the LORD is perfect [tamiym – filling us to completion], converting [shuwb – returning to Him] the soul: the testimony [‘eduwth – kept, guarded and preserved in the ark] of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [that we speak this word as received] is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter [in our mouths] also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his [own] errors [shgiy’ah – straying away from the LORD]? Cleanse [by Your correction] me from secret faults [cathar – with affinity to catham, chatham, and chathan – hiding what should be made known, uncovering the One covered by straying away from Him].
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins [presuming things that aren’t true]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression [of those who’ve trespassed into things forbidden].
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and anoint the shield.

7 – 10 July 2025

Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and anoint the shield.

The word “prepare,” in Isaiah 21:5 above, is the seventy-six times used Hebrew word ‘arak, meaning “to set in a row, i.e. arrange, put in order.” It refers us to the words of the LORD, through David, in Psalms 23:5, where it is a table “prepared” by the present LORD, against our enemies in the valley of the shadow of death (when this light is being blocked from reaching the lowly).

The words rendered watch and watchtower are tsaphah and tsaphiyth; the first, from which the other is derived, means, “to lean forward, i.e. to peer into the distance; by implication, to observe, await.” The other adds the suffix “iyth,” which is a derivative of the words ‘uwth, a four times used word meaning, “properly, to come, i.e. (implied) to assent:–consent,” and ‘owth, meaning “probably from 225 [‘uwth] (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.:–mark, miracle, (en)sign, token.”

As we’ve seen, these words (their bases) have an affinity to the root word tsaphan, meaning “to hide (by covering over); by implication, to hoard or reserve; figuratively to deny; specifically (favorably) to protect, (unfavorably) to lurk.”

In these meanings, we understand the preparation is revealing hidden things (reserved for this time) to those watching (diligently seeking, peering into the distance), reaching this promised moment of their uncovering. The time is that written of as the ‘achariyth, the “last days” of darkness; from ‘achar, meaning the hind part; “after” (in various senses), and ‘uwth, by assent (acquiescence, agreement with the mind of the LORD), when it comes.

In the title passage, this revelation is what the princes have eaten (the LORD’s flesh), by which they rise (quwm – rise from death into life) and “anoint” the “shield” of the earth (the LORD), from the Hebrew words mashach (anoint) megan (shield).

This anointing is the final step in Daniel’s foretelling this moment, in Daniel 9:24 saying “Seventy weeks [the years spent in desolation caused by the abominations men created, put in the LORD’s place, and called by His name] are determined [chathak, only used here, meaning decreed {by the LORD}] upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish [kala’] the transgression [pesha’ – the rebellion {against Him}], and to make an end [chatham – make apparent the end] of sins [chatta’ah – the offence and its consequence], and to make reconciliation [kaphar – cover: uncover and correct] for iniquity [’avon – perversions of truth: evil], and to bring in everlasting righteousness [tsedeq], and to seal up [chatham – make apparent the end of] the vision and prophecy [seeing as the LORD sees, and speaking as He speaks], and to [by this crown: tsphiyrah: the declaration that is the morning] anoint [mashach] the Most Holy [qodesh].

The word chatham first appears in Leviticus 15:3, where it speaks of “stopping” the uncleanness that issues from man. There, the word “issue” is zowb (the same as zuwb), meaning “to flow freely (as water), i.e. (specifically) to have a (sexual) flux; figuratively, to waste away; also to overflow.” Other than in the context mentioned, the word (zuwb) is used to tell of the earth (promised to us) when it “flows” milk and honey, a phrase, we know from various uses, describes what we consume and by which we learn to refuse evil and choose good (refuse the devil and choose God, refuse misleaders and choose the Truth).

The word (zuwb) is also used several times telling of this word of God flowing from a Rock (as opposed to the words of uncleanness flowing from the false rocks, in whom men have ignorantly put their trust, and by which the world has been led into death and hell).

Deuteronomy 32
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end [‘achariyth – this after effect now come]!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their rock had sold them [makar – made them surrender], and the LORD had shut them up [cagar – let them surrender]?
31 For [they must see] their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies [as false rocks] themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom [flames], and of the fields of Gomorrah [ruin]: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison [words] of dragons [tanniyn – men as serpents and whales, devouring their prey with wide open mouths], and the cruel venom [words] of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store [kamac – stored away] with me, and sealed up [chatham – made apparent, uncovered] among my treasures?
35 To me belongs vengeance [in this word revealed] and recompence [a just reward to those who’ve refused it]; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself [nacham – He has come as the comforter to lead us into all truth, to change our minds by His correction] for his servants, when he sees that their power [yad – to work their own way out] is gone, and there is none shut up [‘atsar – none who retain His knowledge], or left [with the understanding to refuse evil and choose good].
37 And he shall say, Where are their [false] gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which [false teachers and false prophets] did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no [false] god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand [yad – from this work].
40 For I lift up my hand [yad – this work] to heaven, and say, I live forever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make my arrows [My people I send with this word] drunk with blood, and my sword [this word from My mouth] shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O you nations [all who haven’t known Me], with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land [‘adamah – this first generation of My new creation], and to his people.

Psalms 78
1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings [chiydah] of old:
3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide [kachad – conceal] them from their children, shewing [caphar – writing them] to the generation to come [‘acharown – now in this ‘achariyth, when the after has come] the praises of the LORD, and his strength [this understanding returned], and his wonderful works [that all wondered at, until He revealed them] that he has done.
5 For he established a testimony [this written word] in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
6 That the generation to come [‘acharown] might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise [quwm – in this resurrection from the death] and declare them [caphar – speak what is written] to their children:
7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious [marah] generation; a generation that set not their heart [minds] aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
9 The children of Ephraim [the last generation of the old and totally corrupt world], being armed, and carrying bows, turned back [were overthrown] in the day of battle.
10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
11 And forgot his works, and his wonders that he had shown them.
12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan [when they departed from their oppressors].
13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through [‘abar – from death into life]; and he made the waters to stand as a heap.
14 In the daytime [this time of understanding] also he led them with a cloud [from where it was held after leaving the earth], and all the night [all those who remained in ignorance] with a light of [His consuming] fire [from His mouth].
15 He clave the rocks [which is Christ] in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths [revealing the understanding held there in its darkness].
16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers [into the sea: the people at large].
17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking [marah] the Most High in the wilderness.
18 And they tempted [doubted the presence of] God in their heart [minds] by asking meat for their lust.
19 Yea, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish [‘arak – prepare] a table in the wilderness?
20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out [zuwb], and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire [from His mouth] was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors [of His treasury] of heaven,
24 And had rained down manna [this word from His mouth by which man lives, of which they are ignorant] upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25 Man did eat angels’ food: he sent [shalach] them meat to the full.
26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
27 He rained flesh [men speaking His word as received] also upon them as dust [sowing in them the ruin of the old world], and feathered fowls [His children by His strength risen into full understanding: into heaven] like as the sand of the sea:
28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat [this deep word] was yet in their mouths,
31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest [the famous and prospering leaders] of them [those refusing to acknowledge and declare His presence with us, in us], and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

The word shalach, in verse 25 above, rendered “sent,” is the origin of the twice used Hebrew name Shiloah (Siloah), meaning, sent; which is the equivalent of the transliterated Greek word Siloam. The name tells of a spring that secretly flowed under Jerusalem, and the Greek word tells of the pool by the same name, and a tower that fell on some gathered there.

Friends, the word marah (meaning bitterness), above rendered “provoking” and “rebellion,” in relation to words, is used in the ten times used Hebrew word mir’iyth, rendered “pasture,” speaking the LORD’s “sent” word, and of it corrupted by man. The more accurate meaning (of mir’iyth) tells of when this bitterness has come, and when, without it, the word (of God) is pure. It is when the LORD, necessarily (when the leaders have proven themselves incorrigible, choosing to remain in their corruption), no longer intervenes, and the calamitous consequences are inevitably experienced, as in when the tower of Siloam fell.

Did the LORD build the tower (like in Babel)? Or did men ignorant of the danger? Did the LORD build a Christian girl’s camp next to a river that could, like most other rivers in Texas, become a deadly raging torrent? Or did ignorant (marah) “Christian men” build it? The problem is these leaders are in rebellion against God, ever provoking Him with their systemic misleading. Their words are the deadly waters (the pastures, their bitter words) and it’s our children and our children’s children, that reap the consequence of their willful ignorance.

So, there will be many that will condemn me for the LORD’s drawing our attention to the similarity between events written of long ago and their obvious appearance in the catastrophes of these last days, none of which did I create or manipulate. So be it. Psalms 69:9 For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.

John 2
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves [signs of the end, the false prophets, eschatologists selling their creations while saying the LORD said, taking His name in vain], Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of your house has eaten me up.

Romans 15
1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and [“so be it”] not to please ourselves.
2 Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification [building up by correction and education].
3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached you fell on me. [“So be it.”]
4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort [led into all truth by the LORD among us unknown] of the scriptures might have hope.
5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6 That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God [bearing men’s reproach, for his name’s {identity’s} sake], even the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ.

The following (with some inclusions), ending in Malich 3, is from the post of 4 August 2024:

The LORD, in Isaiah 8, after telling of His people rejecting these “waters of Shiloah that go softly,” prescribes the solution, which is to seek the LORD who is God with us. The twice-used name Shiloah, meaning sent, refers to the word of God that secretly (‘at – “softly,” see Job 15:11 where it’s rendered “secret”) flows from the LORD’s messenger, who brings revelation (secrets) manifesting His presence with us: Immanuel.

Isaiah 8
7 Now, therefore, behold, the LORD brings [brought] up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria [the communist attack, with word of death, leading our nation and people into self-destruction], and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8 And he shall pass through Judah [the current crop of corrupt leaders in church and state]; he shall overflow and go over [‘abar – take them from life into death], he shall reach even to the neck [the place where their words are formed]; and the stretching out of his wings [kanaph – the words they speak, by which they rise into prominence] shall fill the breadth of your land [‘erets – the earth], O Immanuel [‘Immanuw ‘el].
9 Associate yourselves, O you people, and you shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you of far [merchaq – the appointed time the LORD decreed] countries [‘ertes – the earth]: gird [prepare] yourselves [with these men’s evil words and bad advice], and you shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together [men with men], and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand [quwm – shall not bring any from death into life]: for [against your words] God [‘el] is with us [‘immanuw – this is the necessary declaration].
11 For the LORD spoke [these words] thus to me with a strong hand [working His Almighty work], and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 Say you not, A confederacy [with corruption, the delusion that any of the current governments are going to save us], to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony [this word of Shiloh], seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Behold, I [the son of David, the son of Joseph] and the children [upon whom these sure mercies of David have come] whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwells in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits [the known dead – the misleading word of the communists in church and state, that are known to be the death of men and nations], and unto wizards [the falsely so-called experts of our time] that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? [Why are they still looking] for the living to the dead?
20 [When they should be looking] To the law and to the testimony [this word of Shiloh – referring to Genesis 49:10]: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light [understanding] in them.
21 And they shall pass through it [this experience, of which they remain ignorant], hardly bestead and hungry [refusing this word of God]: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry [without this word of God], they shall fret themselves, and curse their king [the son of David, the son of Joseph] and their God, and look upward.
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble [tsarah – tribulation, ruled by enemies] and darkness [ignorance], dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness [into the insanity now obvious].

Malachi 3
1 Behold [see], I will send my messenger [mal’ak – My angel], and he shall prepare the way before me [panah derek paniym – I have been sent to “prepare the way of the LORD’s presence manifested to the world”]: and the LORD [‘adown – the king, who is in the line of Joseph and David], whom you seek, shall suddenly [pith’own] come to his temple, even the messenger [mal’ak – My archangel, who comes as the Chief Overseer of the earth] of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD of hosts.
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand [‘amad – in resurrection] when he appears [as My presence]? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

The above alluded to the need to purify the word “sent,” (Shiloah, Siloam) pooled and corrupted into becoming the mir’iyth, the corrupt (bitter, rebellious, provocative) pasture fed to the LORD’s flock. In it, in this context, the effect of ignorance that has come by this means, the LORD speaks in Luke 13.

Luke 13
1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans [men who are waiting to be given their sight again, by removing the worldly mire], whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose you that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things [at the hand of civil government]?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except you repent [and come out of the darkness that causes blinding ignorance], you shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen [possessed by antichrists denying the LORD presence, bearing the mark of confusion in their head and hand, thoughts and works], upon whom the tower [from where men should see what is coming] in Siloam [the waters sent] fell [into corruption], and slew them, think you that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except you repent [of the blinding corruption men teach as the take the LORD’s name in vain], you shall all likewise perish [by endlessly wrestling with this same word].
6 He spoke also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree [a nation, God’s people, bearing good fruit] planted in his vineyard [the earth]; and he came and sought fruit [karpos], and found none [because the word sent was corrupted].
7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard [ampelourgos – only used here, to mean a vine worker {as the one who places the support upon which it grows}, it’s more contextually from hama {together} and pelagos {deep waters}, meaning the one who brings together the things hidden in the darkened deep], Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down [ekkopto]; why cumbers [katargeo – not working, remaining idol] it the ground [ge – the earth]?
8 And he [I] answering said unto him, LORD, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig [skapto – only used three times, referring us to its one other use in Luke, in Luke 6:48, there telling of “digging” deep to lay the foundation of the house that stands after the flood, from the river that beat upon it, because it is found upon the Rock] about it, and dung it [ballo kopria – meaning to cast upon its own earthly corruption]:
9 And if it bears fruit [karpos], well: and if not, then after that you shall cut it down [ekkopto].

The word ekkopto, meaning through mourning (bewailing their death), only appears one other time in Luke, in Luke 3:9, a passage preceded by quoting Isaiah 40:3 – 5, which closes saying “and the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.”

Isaiah, after the above quote speaks of all flesh as grass whose goodness is as the flower of the field, which withers and fades away, but the word of God shall stand forever. In Luke, after the quote, John (the dove, the sign of the end reached, the LORD through him) speaks to all flesh, calling them (here and now) a generation of vipers, who are warned to flee from the wrath to come.

Luke 3
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits [karpos] worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones [from whom flows this word of the LORD as received] to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit [karpos] is hewn down [ekkopto], and cast [ballo] into the fire.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

The LORD, beginning in Isaiah 40:8, answers the question “what shall we do” when the goodness of man withers and fades away (when “all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean:” see Isaiah 28:8, verse 9 saying “whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall make to understand doctrine (shmuw’ah – this “report” heard, which is “rumored” to be the voice of Jehovah heard and His arm, work, revealed).

The word rendered “fruit,” karpos, means, “probably from the base of 726; fruit (as plucked), literally or figuratively:–fruit.” The word it’s said to “probably” be from, is [726] harpazo, meaning “from a derivative of 138; to seize (in various applications):–catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).” It (harpazo) is the word rendered “caught up,” which the false teachers and false prophets twist into the false (Christ-denying) doctrine of devils. It (harpazo) is derived from the word haireomai, meaning “to take for oneself, i.e. to prefer:–choose.”

This latter word (haireomai) is only used three times, all congruently speaking of choosing to suffer reproach in the LORD’s name, and of His choosing us for salvation by the same (long-suffering) means.

Isaiah 40
9 O Zion, that brings good tidings, get you up into the high mountain [into the LORD’s presence]; O Jerusalem, that brings good tidings, lift up your voice with strength [exalt His word, His voice, and rise with Him into heaven]; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
10 Behold, the LORD God will come with strong hand [this work giving strength to rise], and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is [treasure] with him, and his work before him.
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd [ra’ah – one who has the vision, of God, to lead]: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
12 Who has measured the waters [this word] in the hollow of his hand, and meted [dispensed] out heaven with the span [in this exposition: the firmament], and comprehended the dust [the ruin] of the earth in a measure, and weighed [judged] the mountains [the fully corrupt and feckless governments of church and state] in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counselor has taught him?
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?

Hebrews 11
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
25 Choosing [haireomai] rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

Philippians 1
20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain [here awakening from death in the resurrection].
22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit [karpos] of my labor: yet what I shall choose [haireomai] I wot not.
23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ [here and now in this resurrection]; which is far better:
24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of [realizing the LORD’s presence by] faith;
26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
27 Only let your conversation [speaking the LORD words] be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
28 And in nothing terrified by [the reproach of] your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition [apoleia], but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30 Having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

2 Thessalonians 2
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen [haireomai] you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our LORD Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which has loved us, and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace [this gift],
17 Comfort your hearts [minds], and establish you in every good word and work.

Isaiah 49
5 And now, says the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength [my understanding].
6 And he said, It is a light thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light [giver] to the Gentiles [all those who haven’t known Me], that you mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new].
7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nations [those who haven’t known Me] abhor, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose you.
8 Thus says the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you: and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
9 That you may say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are [held] in darkness [ignorance], Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures [mir’iyth – My word I sent, which they made bitter, when I have shown it to them and it is removed] shall be in all high places.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun [the fallen church] smite them: for he that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of [purified] water shall he guide them.
11 And I will make all my mountains [My new governments of church and state] a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

Jeremiah 10
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder [tsaraph] is confounded by the graven image [the idol they’ve created]: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath [life] in them.
15 They are vanity [worthless words], and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – this time when I Am come as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel [My family, the children of My correction] is the rod [shebet – the scepter to rule this new earth] of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts [a man of war] is his name [I Am, His identity].
17 Gather up your wares [pack and move] out of the land [‘erets – the old earth], O inhabitant of the fortress [matsowr – the place of oppression, against which I Am laying siege].
18 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will sling [qala’ – a seven times used word referring us to its use in 1 Samuel 25:29] out the inhabitants of the land [‘erets] at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 Woe is me for my [the carcass of My dead body] hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not [the same words Rachel cries out, in Jeremiah 31:15, speaking of Ephraim: God’s people at large in this last and first generation]: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 For the pastors [ra’ah – shepherds, who should be seeing for the flock as God sees] are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks [mir’iyth – those consuming the waters these men have made bitter] shall be scattered [as they are].
22 Behold, the noise [qowl – the voice] of the bruit [shmuw’ah – the report heard from Jehovah, I Am in this generation of the dead who are raised to life] is come, and a great commotion [ra’ash – the voice “shaking” heaven and earth, which brings the dead bones together and causes men to discern and choose good over evil] out of the north country [revealed from the darkness of men’s ignorance], to make the cities of Judah [the current crop of corrupt leaders] desolate, and a den of dragons [tanniym – men as serpents and whales, with their wide open mouths devouring men and swallowing them into the belly of hell].
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself [but to You it appertains, to guide and direct him into a good way]: it is not in man that walks [astray into his own evil way] to direct his steps.
24 O LORD, correct me [back onto the right path], but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on your name [Your manifested identity: I Am]: for they have eaten up Jacob [and swallowed him into the belly of hell], and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation [this old and totally corrupt earth] desolate.

Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture [mir’iyth]! says the LORD.
2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the pastors [ra’ah – shepherds and seers] that feed my people; You have scattered [puwts – dashed into pieces] my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited [paqad – manifesting My presence to them as the Chief Overseer of the earth, for their good, to unite into My ONE BODY] them: behold [see], [therefore] I will visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth, bring] upon you the evil of your doings, says the LORD.
3 And I will gather [qabats – will collect] the remnant of my flock out of all countries [‘erets – the earth] whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds [My ONE BODY]; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds [ra’ah – pastors and seers seeing as I see] over them which shall feed them [with My words]: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed [chatham – not again be broken apart by men’s confusion and fear], neither shall they be lacking [paqad – will not be without an overseer seeing as I see], says the LORD.
5 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch [I Am], and a King [I Am] shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth [‘erets].
6 In his days Judah [my new crop of Godly leaders I raise from among the ruin of the old] shall be saved, and Israel [My people at large who inherit the promise of a new heaven and earth wherein dwells My righteousness] shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The LORD Our Righteousness.
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD lives, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land [‘erets – the earth] of Egypt [under those tyrants];
8 But, The LORD lives, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country [‘erets – the earth covered in darkness: men’s ignorance], and from all countries [‘erets – the earth] whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land [‘adamah – this new generation I Am creating].
9 My heart [My mind in My people] within me is broken because of the [false] prophets [infesting church and state]; all my bones shake [rachaph – only appears elsewhere in Genesis 1:2, telling of when the LORD unknown “moved” on the face of the waters: the darkened deep; and in Deuteronomy 32:11, of when He, as an eagle, “flutters” over His nest to cause His young to come fly with Him]; I am [the dead body of Christ is] like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness [has come to remove the cause, the corruption of false prophets and false teachers, that pervade the bead body].
10 For the land is full of adulterers [who have left the LORD to follow these false gods of the world]; for because of swearing [‘alah – these men, false gods, loathing this word, and exalting theirs above it] the land [‘erets – the earth] mourns; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, says the LORD.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness [their ignorance of My presence and manner]: they shall be driven on, and fall therein [the pit they’ve dug]: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation [pquddah – this time when the LORD appears as the Chief Overseer of the earth], says the LORD.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria [who worship idols men created, put in God’s place, and who their devils, their evil misleaders, tell them are their gods]; they prophesied in Baal [the creations of men who put themselves in God’s place], and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none does return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom [a place of endless flames], and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah [total ruin].
15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war] concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood [their own poison they teach and preach], and make them drink the water of gall [the same poison by which they judge]: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness [the same poisonous teaching, preaching, and judgment] gone forth into all the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth].
16 Thus says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war], Hearken [shama’ – obey] not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain [worthless by following their ways]: they speak a vision of their own heart [creations of their own corrupted minds: evil imaginations], and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD has said, You shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walks after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you [the great paradox of our time: looking to those who’ve brought the violence of their evil upon heaven and earth, calling it peace, to warn God’s people against the evil they’ve brought upon them, who are at war with God and His people while calling it peace].
18 For who [none of these misleaders] has stood [‘amad] in the counsel [cowd] of the LORD [by which the living live – 1 Thessalonians 3:8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the LORD.], and has perceived [ra’ah – seen as He sees] and heard [shama’ – and obeyed] his word? who has marked [qashab – let pierce the ear and enter the mind] his word, and heard [shama’ – and obeyed] it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind [from where the voice of the Almighty is heard] of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has executed, and till he has performed the thoughts of his heart [His mind]: in the latter days [‘achariyth – these last days of ignorance of the LORD’s presence] you shall consider [biyn – understand] it perfectly [biynah – by the understanding given by Jehovah, from the whirlwind].
21 I have not sent these [false] prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood [‘amad] in my counsel [cowd], and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should [would] have turned them [to life by standing fast in the LORD] from their evil way [taught by these false prophets and false teacher], and from the evil of their doings [their corrupt judgment by which they judged the old heaven and earth into insanity and ruin].

34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man [that calls this word a burden without value] and his house.
35 Thus shall you [My wakened people] say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What has the LORD answered? and, What has the LORD spoken? [And you shall give them this word that is light and life freely given to those held in these men’s darkness here in the old heaven and earth they’ve corrupted and turned into hell.]
36 And the burden of the LORD shall you mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war] our God.
37 Thus shall you say to the prophet, “What has the LORD answered you?” and, “What has the LORD spoken?” [And if they know Me, they shall speak according to this word, without their corruption]
38 But since you [still] say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus says the LORD; Because you say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, You shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence [paniym]:
40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame [everlasting contempt to which the wicked awaken, as in Daniel 12:2], which shall not be forgotten.

To the false preachers (devils in disguise) I have personally heard (over the airways) saying God only has a covenant with Judah (the nation that now calls itself Israel) – “the LORD rebukes you” and Satan who possesses you.

The truth here is twofold, first no man alive knows where the ten northern tribes (Israel) are now, other than that after they were taken into captivity (over the Caucasus Mountains, beyond Damascus and Babylon, meaning their work was silence and they were in sorrow in a state ruled by mass confusion) they were scattered into places where they no longer even know themselves (and here and now we find ourselves).

The Old Covenant was to all Israel, including the (now) scattered masses of the ten northern tribes. The “new covenant,” which relaced it, gets its name from Jeremiah 31:31, saying “Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:” verse 33 & 34 then saying, “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, says the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts [minds]; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall ALL know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

The following, ending with 1 Corinthians 15, is from the post of 25 September 2024 (with today’s additions in double brackets).

O Israel, return unto the LORD your God; for you have fallen by your iniquity. Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

The LORD begins today, above in Hosea 14:1 & 2, speaking to His people, awakening to life from death, who were before dumb (unable to speak His word because there was no prophet to lead them out of the darkness) due to their iniquity. It is this leading, now, that takes away the cause and results in opening our mouths, which is the offering He desires: speaking His words, the knowledge of God with us, in us.

The name Hosea is the same as Hoshea, the name to which Moses added Jehovah, calling him Joshua (Jesus). The original name means deliverer (savior); in the latter, he is Joshua, the son of Nun (the son in perpetuity, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh: Christ, the Father’s anointed one).

The above portion of the Book of Hosea is written after the northern nation of Israel had ended, and Hoshea, the final king of Israel, and many of the people of Israel with him, were held captive in Assyria (Asshur; from where they were eventually dispersed beyond Damascus, beyond Babylon, speaking of beyond the Caucasus Mountains).

Ephraim and Samaria are descriptive of God’s people in this last generation, fallen and held in the degenerate ignorance brought about by the endless fall away from God (in the bottomless pit) of the prior generations.

The names above speak of when the work of God’s people is ended, and they sit silent and in tears (Damascus), and there (by the substitution of Babylon for Damascus) we understand they are held by confusion (ignorant of God and their own identity), which became delusion, and now turned to mass insanity. In this state of mental death, they are Ephraim, God’s people in double ruin, and Samaria, where God is replaced by devils teaching foreign ideas (idols, falsely called by God’s name, to which is offered strange fire).

Hosea is speaking of the time when Hosea and Israel go into captivity and are held there, to be awakened by again adding Jehovah to Hosea, in these words given understanding, life, by Him.

Hosea 12
1 Ephraim [God’s people in double ruin in this generation] feeds on wind [of false doctrines], and follows after the east wind: he daily increases lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians [the communists here in power], and oil [that feeds the light, gives understanding, through His anointed] is carried into Egypt [here held under tyrants in oppression].
2 The LORD has also a controversy with Judah [the leaders of His people who have likewise fallen into apostacy], and will punish Jacob [Israel and Judah] according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us;
5 Even the LORD God of hosts [a man of Just war]; the LORD is his memorial [zeker – Jehovah is his memento: how He is remembered, re-cognized, at the moment He is].
6 Therefore turn you to your God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on [qavah – expect] your God continually.
7 He [Esau: Edom, Seir: devils: the enemies among us, in power misleading us into self-destruction] is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loves to oppress.
8 And Ephraim [this generation of God’s people in its {Laodicean} state of double ruin] said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labors they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin. [Revelation 3:17 Because you sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel you to buy of me gold {these treasure of My grace} tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment {this purity by which you see Me present}, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint {with this oil} your eyes with eye-salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous, therefore, and repent.]
9 And I that am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt will yet make you to dwell in tabernacles [‘ohel – in transient flesh], as in the days of the solemn feast.
10 I [here and now present] have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
11 Is there iniquity in Gilead [among those entrusted with these oracles, with this written word from the mouth of God]? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal [where the waters are always agitated by confusion, the endless argument about what My words mean]; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria [into the arms of communists], and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt [the oppression of tyrants then and there], and by a prophet [Moses, who was drawn from the waters, the wicked words and ways, which held their minds captive therein] was he preserved.
14 Ephraim [God’s people in these last days] provoked him [the LORD present, manifested in His prophet, I Am, like Moses, He raised up among His people for the same purpose] to anger most bitterly [as they chided with Moses]: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him.

Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal [the idols men created and put in God’s place, who the devils call by His name], he died.
2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they [the devils] say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early dew that passes away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know no god but me: for there is no savior beside me.
5 I did know you in the wilderness [where I untaught you the ways of oppression and tyranny], in the land of great drought [when you were without My word].
6 According to their pasture [[[mir’iyth – when it was without the bitterness the enemies among us added]] when they prospered by this understanding, under God], so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion [roaring this word against their ignorance; the second face, seen in the wheel within the wheel, of the LORD’s unfolding presence manifesting His identity with us, in us]: as a leopard [crouching unknown] by the way will I observe them [as My prey};
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart [the ignorance in their minds], and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast [men without My Spirit, who they choose to follow into self-destruction] shall tear them.
9 O Israel, you have destroyed yourself; but in me is your help.
10 I will be your king: where is any other that may save you in all your cities? and your judges of whom you said, Give me a king and princes?
11 I gave you a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath. [This speaks not only of Saul but also of the kings Israel chose to follow, which, after a succession of kings who murdered the kings before them, ended in Hosea who is now captive in Syria.]
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid [in his own ignorance].
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him [needing to bring forth the king of God’s choosing, the man child, I Am, and His many children, begotten of God alone]: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave [sh’owl – sheol, hell]; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be your plagues; O grave [sh’owl – sheol, hell], I will be your destruction: repentance shall be hid from my eyes. [I will never change My mind about the destruction of death and hell!]
15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind [the Spirit] of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring [the corrupt understanding and words of men] shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure [the corrupt understanding] of all pleasant vessels.
16 Samaria [the places where My people put idols in My place and call them by My name] shall become desolate; for she has rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword [this word they refuse, because their minds are corrupted by the false teaching of the many false prophets mixed among them]: [because they are ignorant beasts] their infants shall be dashed in pieces [as there are by those aborting them by the many millions], and their women with child shall be ripped up.

1 Corinthians 15
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 You fool, that which you sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 And that which you sowest, you sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 But God gives it a [human] body as it has pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption [here in death and hell]; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit [bringing many children from death into life].
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy [dead and buried therein as seed, as in Jezreel, the child of Hosea, who the LORD has sown into the earth]; the second man is the LORD from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are [New] heavenly [Jerusalem].
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God [only the soul and mind do, risen by joining with the LORD in His ONE BODY]; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed [by this understanding received, putting off all the past corrupt teaching by which this truth was hidden],
52 In a moment [when understanding comes], in the twinkling of an eye [this light flashing on, when this epiphany comes, when we see, understand, and reach this expected end of darkness], at the last trump [this voice of the LORD’s archangel]: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is your sting? O grave [hell], where is your victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law [without understanding the Spirit therein].
57 But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory [over ignorance: death and hell] through our LORD Jesus Christ [Jehovah Salvation manifested in the flesh of His chosen, His many children shining this same light upon all].

Psalms 100
1 Make a joyful noise [declaring His presence] unto the LORD, all you lands [‘erets – realizing His New Covenant is to all the earth].
2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence [paniym] with singing.
3 Know you that the LORD he is God: it is he that has made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture [miy’iyth].
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name [manifested identity].
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to all generations.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.

3 – 4 July 2025

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.

Friends, again, with much sorrow, I tell you that not many self-proclaimed Christian leaders are saved. They, chained to their ignorance (darkness), with great pride and joy in it, spew at each other self-commendations they all seek: men with men commending themselves for their common delusions, and removing God from their knowledge, they work that which is unseemly.

As we know, the above refers to what is written of these men in Romans 1:27, where the word rendered “unseemly” is aschemosune, a twice-used word from schema combined with sun, and reversed by the letter “a.” The word schema speaks of the LORD’s “form;” the word sun of our joining “with” him, and aschemosune of this being reversed: men exalting themselves (men of repute, whose voices are heard from all the high places), men joined with men instead of (communing) with the LORD.

Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness [asebeia – a six time used word that prominently appears elsewhere telling of it as what the LORD, at His coming, comes against] and unrighteousness of men [men’s errors, which they ignorantly, with zeal, defend, trying to prove themselves right while refusing the LORD’s righteousness He is present freely giving – Romans 10:1 – 4], who hold [katecho – the word rendered “withhold” and “let” in 2 Thessalonians 2:6 & 7] the truth [captive – the love of which these men refuse and instead choose self-destruction – as in 2 Thessalonians 2:10] in unrighteousness [in their errors, and will hold it their until they are taken out of the way];
19 Because that which may be known of God [His presence] is manifest in [His wrath, this word they refuse, sent against] them; for God has [here and now] shown it unto them.
20 For the invisible things [unseen by men, hidden only in their ignorance and refusal] of him from the creation of the world are [here and now] clearly seen, being understood by the things that are [here and now] made [apparent, shown to have always been present], even his eternal power [to reveal them at His will] and Godhead [as the head of the body and the savior of the world]; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God [who has made Himself apparent], they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations [having great pride in the errors they teach as they take His name in vain], and their foolish heart [mind] was darkened [and they, by their error, became ignorant of what is present, the apparent LORD of glory].
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image [their creations] made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things [ignorant without His Spirit].
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature [their spiritless creations] more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly [aschemosune – not in the form joined with the LORD], and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet [the appropriate, logical, consequence].
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate [without proof of His presence in their] mind, to do those things which are not convenient [are inappropriate – exalting themselves above the ever-present LORD];
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of [the true] God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

The word “pleasure,” in verse 32 above, is the six-times used word suneudokeo, meaning “to think well of in common, i.e. assent to, feel gratified with:–allow, assent, be pleased, have pleasure.”

Friends, you who know the LORD and understand the mission on which He’s sent me (in His chosen form, lowly and without reputation, against the false so-called wise and powerful of the world), He, here and now, using the word suneudokeo, identifies these men as the false prophets of our time, who, as their fathers (devils, misleaders among us, false prophets before them) showed them, have transformed themselves into angels, messenger, of light, but the light in them is the deepest darkness.

Luke 11
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees [you that scatter My flock]! for you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees [teachers and preachers who now take My name in vain], hypocrites! for you are as graves [holding the dead in death] which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 Then answered one of the lawyers [those who say they know the law, when what they know are their own misinterpretations], and said unto him, Master [teacher], thus saying you reproach us also.
46 And he said, Woe unto you also, you lawyers! for you lade men with burdens [to keep your laws] grievous to be borne, and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe unto you! for you build the sepulchers of the [true] prophets [holding their truth captive among the dead], and your fathers [who’ve taught you men’s creations] killed them.
48 Truly you bear witness [against yourselves] that you allow [suneudokeo – joining them in thinking you are doing good in doing] the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchers [wherein you hold the dead].
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

Jude 1
4 For there are certain men crept in [to our midst] unawares, who were before of old ordained [prographo – before written of] to this condemnation, ungodly [asebes] men, turning [metatithemi] the grace [this gift] of our God into lasciviousness [their excrement uncontrollably spewing from their vile bodies], and denying the only LORD God, and our LORD Jesus Christ.

14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly [asebes] among them of all their ungodly [asebes] deeds which they have ungodly [asebeia – worthless words of ignorance and corruption] committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly [asebeo] sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks great swelling [proud] words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage [because of their positions of power, giving honor to their words of ignorance and corruption].
17 But, beloved, remember you the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our LORD Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly [asebeia] lusts.

These men, who join themselves together with one corrupt mind, are those the LORD has always come and spoken against, like through Elijah, like Jeremiah, like all the other true prophets, one voice of the LORD speaking to legions of demons possessed by Satan, false prophet misleading many into self-destruction and separation from the LORD.

Romans 11
2 God has not cast away his people which he foreknew [we are God’s people from throughout history]. Know you not what the scripture says of Elijah? how he makes intercession to God against Israel saying,
3 LORD, they have killed your prophets, and digged down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what says the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal [the creations of false prophets, as the idols of the old and corrupt world].
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace [those the LORD has chosen, who are undefiled by men’s corruption, to whom this gift is first given and by whom it is first received].
6 And if by grace [a gift from God], then is it no more of [men’s] works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of [men’s] works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel [the people unto whom this promise was made] has not obtained that which he seeks for; but the election has obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written [in Isaiah 29:10, see the fuller passage below speaking of when all awaken from this sleep], God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
9 And David says [in Psalms 69:23], Let their table be made a snare, and a trap [which it is, and because of which they are found guilty], and a stumbling-block, and a recompence unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened [ignorant of their own guilt], that they may not see, and bow down their back always [to their enemies who among them made them ignorant].
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles [those who don’t know God and aren’t called His people], for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life [the resurrection] from the dead?

Isaiah 29
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book [cepher] that is sealed [chatham], which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed [chatham]:
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart [the foundations of their mind – their stoicheion, the elements of their understanding, are corrupt and disordered] far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [eye opening] work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder [pele’ – at which all have wondered]: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their [wicked] counsel [‘etsah] from the LORD, and their works are in the dark [their own ignorance of reality and truth they can’t understand because it is as a foreign language], and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down [the overthrow] shall be esteemed as the potter’s [yatsar] clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed [yatser] say of him that framed [yatsar] it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon [purity seen in high places] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words [this word] of the book [cepher], and the eyes of the blind shall see [again] out of obscurity, and out of darkness [by coming out of ignorance].
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed [padah] Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale [but they will reach the end promised].
23 But when he sees his children [who have been born again out of death and hell], the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name [declare My identity Holy], and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured [against me] shall learn doctrine.

Psalms 69
15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Hear me, O LORD; for your lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of your tender mercies.
17 And hide not your face [paniym – Your presence] from your servant; for I am in trouble [tsar – among enemies]: hear me speedily.
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.
19 You have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: my adversaries [tsarar] are all before you.
20 Reproach has broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters [nacham], but I found none.
21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom you have smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom you have wounded.
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into your righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

Jude 1
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that the LORD, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate [which is giving the message as received, who now speak their own creations while taking His name in vain], but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

Romans 11
25 For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles [who don’t know God] be come in.
26 And so all Israel [the LORD’s people, who have a zeal for Him, but without knowledge of Him, which is manifested in His judgment and mercy] shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness [asebeia] from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as you [the elect remnant] in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief [that through you He shall show His mercy in judgment]:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God has concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who has known the mind of the LORD? or who has been his counselor?
35 Or who has first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen.

The one other time the word aschemosune appears, in Revelation 16:15, it is describing it as the “shame” of the (famous) false prophets, seen when the LORD comes, as He has, unknown, without fame (without reputation) in the darkness (men’s ignorance).

Revelation 16
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates [words that were a blessing now turned to confusion and mass insanity]; and the water thereof was dried up [and what was hidden below its surface is revealed, like frogs uncovered], that the way of the kings of the east [the appointed time of light returning] might be prepared.
13 And I saw [what was before hidden below the surface of their words] three unclean spirits like frogs come [as corrupt words] out of the mouth of the dragon [those devouring men with the open mouths], and [as words] out of the mouth of the beast [animated dead flesh without the LORD’s Spirit], and [as words] out of the mouth of the false prophet [revealing their shame].
14 For they are the spirits of devils [misleaders], working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I [have] come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments [the LORD’s righteousness, which protects the mind from the corrupt elements of the world], lest he walk naked, and they see his shame [aschemosune – see that they are not in the form of the LORD].
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon [the place of the rendezvous, this appointed time].
17 And the seventh angel [the final messenger, I Am] poured out his vial into the air [to clear it of the blinding smoke that came from the bottomless pit, the endless falling away – see Revelation 9:1 – 4]; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done [ginomai – it is “generated” apparent].
18 And there were [ginomai – apparent] voices [of understanding heard], and thunders [the sound of light, understanding heard from the cloud], and lightnings [understanding seen from the cloud]; and there was [ginomai – apparent] a great earthquake [shaking the world, to shake the wicked from it], such as was [ginomai – apparent] not since men were [ginomai – appeared] upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided [ginomai – was apparent to be] into three parts [under the complete influence of the dragons, the beasts, and the false prophets], and the cities of the nations fell [in the same manner as did the tower of Babel]: and great Babylon [the confusion caused by the three, who have ruled the world into complete insanity and ruin] came in remembrance before [enopion – to us from the presence of] God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island [dry places that have been without this word of God] fled away, and the mountains [the corrupt governments of church and state] were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail [this word reserved for this time, frozen in the cloud and sent] out of heaven [against the current crop of corrupt leaders] every stone about the weight of a talent [these gifts the LORD has given to us]: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

The word rendered “remembrance” in verse 19 above, the word mnaomai, telling of what understanding comes from the LORD’s manifested presence, only used this once in Revelation, is described in the two uses before: rendered “remember” in Jude 1:17 above, and before in 2 Peter 3:2 rendered “that you may be mindful.” What He brings to remembrance is His word spoken by the true prophets, against the words of mockers now falsely speaking in His name as they blaspheme Him.

2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily [secretly, from their own imaginations, create lies] shall bring in damnable [apoleia – that cause them and those who follow their ways to perish] heresies, even denying the LORD that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction [apoleia – perdition].
2 And many shall follow their pernicious [apoleia – the ways that lead to their own destruction] ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of [as it is this day].
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned [fraudulent] words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation [apoleia – perishing, perdition] slumbers not [because they are awakened “to shame and everlasting contempt”].

2 Peter 3
1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds [dianoia] by way of remembrance:
2 That you may be mindful [mnaomai] of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the LORD and Saviour:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall [have] come in the last days scoffers [not believing the LORD is present with us, in us], walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep [into death], all things continue as they were from the beginning of the [old] creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God [this same word of God] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved [for this appointed time of the LORD’s just war against the darkness] unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly [asebes] men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is [always with us, hidden only in men’s ignorance] longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men] shall melt with fervent heat, the [old corrupt] earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “diverse” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding all these diverse elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?

The two times the word schemo appears are in telling of the form (“fashion” of the world) we should not be found in, and then of the same we should be, as Christ is, found in. The first speaks of leaders (as men, husbands) and those joined (women, a wife) with them, as a similitude of Christ and the church.

1 Corinthians 7
5 Defraud [apostereo – not steadfast, not in agreement] you not one the other, except it be with consent [sumphonos – only used here, meaning to keep harmony] for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting [abstaining from forcing divisions] and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not [to separation] for your incontinency [akrasia – a lack of self-restraint].
6 But I speak this by permission [suggnome – also only appearing here, meaning “pardon, indulgence”], and not of [kata – not putting down any] commandment.
7 For I would that all men were even as I myself [without a church called by my name]. But every man has his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I [joined only with the LORD].

31 And they that use [chraomai – meaning “to furnish what is needed; (give an oracle, “graze” (touch slightly), light upon, etc.), i.e. (by implication) to employ or (by extension) to act towards one in a given manner”] this world [furnished by it], as not abusing it: for the fashion [schemo] of this world passes away [parago – is lead away: by misleaders].
32 But I would have you without carefulness [amerimnao – not sharing the thoughts {memories} of the world {false security in them}]. He that is unmarried [not joined with men teaching such insecurity] cares [merimnao – merizo mnaomai: shares the same thoughts: recollections] for the things that belong to the LORD, how he may please the LORD:
33 But he [the man] that is married [joined with the world] cares for [merimnao – share the thoughts of] the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife [the people they are joined with].
34 There is difference also between [merizo – a right dividing of the thoughts of] a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman [without a church misleader] cares [merimnao] for the things of the LORD, that she [the church] may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married [joined with worldly men] cares [merimnao] for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 And this I speak for your own profit [sumphero]; not that I may [as do worldly men] cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely [euschemon – but for that which “forms good” in you], and that you may attend upon the LORD without distraction.

The “snare” (of worldly men), spoken of above in verse 35, is from the once-used word brochos, which is said to be of uncertain derivation. Its affinity is to the once used word brucho, meaning to rage against (gnash), which (word) refers us to its definitively appearing in Acts 7:54. In this passage it’s the response of worldly men after they received this same dispensation and rejected it, even killing the messenger (Stephen: who is “crowned” with the LORD’s glory).

Acts 7
48 Howbeit the Most High dwells not in temples made with hands [but in the flesh of His choosing]; as says the prophet,
49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will you build me? says the LORD: or what is the place of my rest?
50 Has not my hand made all these things?
51 You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.
52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers:
53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart [minds], and they gnashed [brucho] on him with their teeth.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen, [as he was] calling upon God, and saying, LORD Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down [tithemi – laying down his life for the LORD], and cried with a loud voice, LORD, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

1 John 3
16 Hereby perceive we [His long suffering] the love [agape – to give this gift] of God, because he laid down [tithemi] his life for us: and we ought to lay down [tithemi] our lives for the brethren.

Acts 7:49 & 50 above are quotes from Isaiah 66:1 & 2, where verse 2 continues by telling of the man (in the form described in Philippians 2) He sends to those (described in verse 3) held captive by their false worship (of which they are unanimously ignorant).

Isaiah 66
1 Thus says the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that you build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
2 For all those things have my hand made, and all those things have been, says the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word.
3 [In this time when all religion is corrupt] He that kills an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrifices a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offers an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burns incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delight in their abominations.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear [shama’ – obey]: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
5 Hear [shama’ – obey] the word of the LORD, you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
6 A voice of noise from the city [Heavenly New Jerusalem], a voice from the temple [My ONE BODY in which I dwell], a voice of the LORD that renders recompense [a deserved repayment] to his enemies.
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8 Who has heard [shama’ – and obeyed] such a thing? who has [thereby] seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day [when this light has come]? or shall a [new] nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? says your God.
10 Rejoice you with [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her:
11 That you may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that you may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
12 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall you suck, you shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforts [nacham], so will I comfort [nacham] you; and you shall be comforted in [nacham – led into all truth, into New Heavenly] Jerusalem.
14 And when you see this, your heart shall rejoice [realizing My presence therein], and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind [from where His voice is heard changing the face of the earth], to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire [in the word from His mouth heard from His people when their obedience is perfected].
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 They [now when all religion is corrupted] that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the LORD.
18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations [who haven’t known Me] and tongues [speaking corruption]; and they shall come, and [every eye shall] see my glory.
19 And I will set a sign [‘owth] among them, and I will send those that escape [paliyt – escape death and darkness, removing doubt] of them unto the nations [who haven’t know Me], to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off [rachowq – this time when the world is blinded, dumb, and ruled by evil decree], that have not heard [shama’ – or obeyed] my [the LORD’s] fame [shema’ – this report, rumored to be the voice of His presence], [therefore they] neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare [My people in whose mind I have written this word] my glory among the Gentiles [those who haven’t known Me].
20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, says the LORD.
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me [paniym – in My presence], says the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me [paniym – in My realized presence], says the LORD.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm [their animated dead flesh] shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Isaiah 54
11 O you afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted [nacham – not lead into all truth], behold, I will lay your stones [those from whom My treasures flow] with fair colors [the rightly divided light], and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 And I will make your windows of agates, and your gates of carbuncles, and all your borders of pleasant stones [from whom there treasure flow].
13 And all your children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of your children.
14 In righteousness shall you be established: you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near you.
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against you shall fall for your sake.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17 No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, says the LORD.

Isaiah 55
1 Ho, every one that thirsts, come you to the waters, and he that has no money; come you, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Wherefore do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfies not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
5 Behold, you shall call a nation that you know not, and nations that knew not you shall run unto you because of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.
6 Seek you the LORD while he may be found, call you upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

Isaiah 56
1 Thus says the LORD, Keep you judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that does this, and the son of man that lays hold on it; that keeps the Sabbath from polluting it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that has joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD has utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For thus says the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 Even unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keeps the Sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.
8 The LORD God, which gathers the outcasts of Israel says, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

Philippians 2
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form [morphe] of God, thought it not robbery to be equal [isos, see verse 20 below] with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form [morphe] of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion [schema] as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name [Timothy] which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.

19 But I trust in the LORD Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 For I have no man likeminded [isopsuchos – only used here, meaning equal Spirit and soul], who will naturally [gnesios – only used here, meaning “genuinely, i.e. really”] care [merimnao – shares the same thoughts] for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.

Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the LORD. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe [asphales – will not fail].
2 Beware of dogs [those barking ignorantly in the darkness], beware of evil workers, beware of the concision [those who ignorantly believe they are the true believers, whose glory is their shame].
3 For we are the circumcision [the true believers, knowing He is present with us, in us], which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice [realizing His presence is] in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh [men who reject His Spirit].

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things [I thought I knew] but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my LORD: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the [corruptible] law, but that which is through the faith of Christ [the LORD’s Spirit alive in us], the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable [a servant of no reputation, obedient, and humble, even] unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect [teleioo – complete]: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those [corrupt] things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before [found in His presence],
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling [klesis – our vocation, doing the work] of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect [teleios – in His presence], be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained [phthano – arrived], let us walk by the same rule [kanon], let us mind the same thing [not be otherwise minded, not walking a different way than He].
17 Brethren, be followers together of me and mark them which walk so as you have us [Paul and me] for an example.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction [apoleia – perdition], whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is [with the LORD] in heaven [from where He gives us full understanding]; from whence also we look for the Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious [ONE] body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I Timothy myself [with Paul; by the One LORD alive in us] beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence [prosopon – my outward appearance] am base among you, but being absent [apeimi – when the LORD reveals Himself in me] am bold toward you:
2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present [pareimi] with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of [the enemies’] strong holds [on those they possess];)
5 Casting down imaginations [the creations of men’s ignorant minds], and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ [His One mind];
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7 Do you look on things after the outward appearance [prosopon]? if any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he [claims he] is Christ’s, even so are we [truly] Christ’s.

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

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, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your breach is great like the sea: who can heal you?

26 – 30 June 2025

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, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your breach is great like the sea: who can heal you?

Continuing the conversation, the LORD begins today in the above, Lamentations 2:13, describing how His “comfort” comes as a witness, who, through similitudes, gives a right (righteous) assessment of His people’s condition and its cause. As we well know, the word “comfort” is from the Hebrew word nacham, the equivalent of the five times used Greek word parakletos (Comforter), which the LORD uses to describe Himself when He comes (as a man of war, coming to watch our back as we together go into battle), among us unknown as the Holy Ghost, (in this judgment) condemning the corrupt world and leading us out of it into all Truth (which is His and our comfort).

Before proceeding, the name Jeremiah is a combination of the words ruwm, meaning “to be high actively, to rise or raise,” and the name Jehovah. The word (ruwm) is used to describe men, forgetting the LORD is the only source of His understanding revealed, in pride in their falsely so-called understanding, exalting their words, even above His when He sends it, to the point of denying Him, by which they are antichrist and enemies of the cross (His sacrifice, to deliver His Truth, in the flesh He chooses) of Christ.

It (ruwm) is also used to tell of the futility of these men’s words and work against Him, their fecklessness in delivering any out of the troubles of which they are the cause, and His relentlessly rising as His voice and work are exalted above all worldly corruption.

This cause requiring comfort is described by the LORD, through Jeremiah (Jehovah rising, and with His rising, raising His people) in Lamentations preceding the title verse, and after it, speaking of these men in the only use of ruwm in Jeremiah or Lamentations.

Jeremiah 31
10 Hear the word of the LORD, O you nations, and declare it [nagad – “stand boldly in opposition] in the isles [the dry places in the end, when the word of the LORD isn’t heard] afar off [merchaq – the time the LORD decreed], and say, He that [foretold and allowed to be] scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.
11 For the LORD has redeemed Jacob [His people wrestling with Him and His word unknown, who He allowed to prevail, giving them up to their own counsel], and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing [repeating His word He put in the mouths] in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13 Then shall the virgin [those who’ve kept themselves from being defiled by man] rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy [when this light has come and they realize My presence with them, in them], and will comfort them [nacham – My Spirit with them unknown leading them into all Truth], and make them rejoice [entering into My presence] from their sorrow.
14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says the LORD.
15 Thus says the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah [the city on the hill – from where the light will shine], lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel [Rachel – the teachers of God’s people, who are yet barren] weeping for her children [who] refused to be comforted [nacham – they refuse this teaching of the LORD among them as the Paraclete {parakletos} unknown] for her children, because they were not [yet born again].
16 Thus says the LORD; Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears: for your [long suffering] work shall be rewarded, says the LORD; and they shall come again from the land [‘erets – the earth] of the enemy [‘oyeb – controlled by their adversaries who hate them].
17 And there is hope in your end [‘achariyth – in these last days of darkness], says the LORD, that your children shall come again to their own border [gbuwl – this end of the line].
18 I have surely heard Ephraim [those who become that firstborn in this new creation] bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised [corrected] me [with this teaching], and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke [the LORD’s light burden, joined with Him in His work]: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented [nacham – comforted by receiving His truth, His correction]; and after that I was instructed [by this continued teaching], I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth [the childish things now put away].
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 [at My mercy seat, in this judgment] have mercy upon him, says the LORD.
21 Set you up waymarks [tsiyuwn – a three times use word telling of the “title,” “man of God” as marking his grave, the place from where he is {I Am} raised – see 2 Kings 23:17], make you high heaps [tamruwr – only used here, in the original text written as tamruwriym, from tam ruwm reym – meaning to complete the rising {exaltation} of the raised]: set your heart [minds] 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 – explained in verse 39, saying “And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb {this right assessment, the comfort that heals their wounds}, and shall compass about {cabab} to Goath {when the shepherds hear this word from the flock}.] a man.
23 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless you, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.

The assessment is that heard in Lamentations 1 & 2, chapter 1, using the word nacham five times, before its only other use in Lamentations, in chapter 2.

Lamentations 1
1 How does the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!
2 She weeps sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she has none to comfort [nacham] her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies [‘oyeb].
3 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwells among the heathen [who haven’t known the LORD], she finds no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits [the narrowing of the high-way under tyrants].
4 The ways of Zion do mourn [‘abel], because none come [here] to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
5 Her adversaries [tsar – the straits, the obstacles that must avoided to enter the kingdom of heaven – these are the cause of the tribulation: tsarah] are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy [tsar].
6 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength [understanding that only comes from the LORD] before the pursuer.
7 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things [machmud] that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy [tsar], and none did help her: the adversaries [tsar] saw her, and did mock at her Sabbaths [when the LORD interrupted to correct them].
8 Jerusalem has grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness [her lack of protection from the corrupt element {rudiments} of the world]: yea, she sighs, and turns backward.
9 Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembers not her last end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness]; therefore she came down [descended into hell unaware] wonderfully: she had no comforter [nacham – no man to lead her into all Truth]. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy [‘oyeb] has magnified [by twisting and perverting Truth, exalted] himself.
10 The adversary [tsar] has spread out his hand [his works, with all deceivableness of unrighteousness] upon all her pleasant things: for she has seen that the heathen [who haven’t known the LORD] entered into her sanctuary, whom you [LORD] did command that they should not enter into your congregation.
11 All her people sigh, they seek bread [Your rightly divided word]; they [God’s people] have given [into the hand of enemy and adversary] their pleasant things [machmud] for meat to relieve [shuwb – which return] the soul [from death]: see [this], O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile [in the eyes of Your people].
12 Is it [this salvation] nothing to you, all you that pass by [‘abar – who should be passing from death into life]? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow [knowing you are choosing death], which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD has afflicted [with the loss of children] me in the day of his fierce anger.
13 From above has he sent fire into my bones [the dead body of Christ], and it [the enemy: death] prevails against them: he has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back: he has made me desolate and faint all the day.
14 The yoke of my [body’s] transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck [The LORD’s words stopped there and kept from reaching the mouth]: he has made my [body’s – flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone] strength [understanding] to fall, the LORD has delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
15 The LORD has trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he has called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the LORD has trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, [all my body] as in a winepress.
16 For these things I weep; my eye, my eye run down with water, because the comforter [nacham – the LORD in me working and speaking unknown] that should relieve my [body’s] soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy [‘oyeb] prevailed.
17 Zion [the LORD’s body, coming to His throne] spreads forth her hands, and there is none to comfort [nacham] her: the LORD has commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries [tsar] should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them [unclean and separated].
18 The LORD is righteous; for I have [my dead body] rebelled against his commandment: hear [shama’ – obey], I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men [without the LORD’s Spirit: the Comforter] are gone into captivity.
19 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and my elders gave up the ghost [and without the LORD’s Spirit are dead] in the city, while they sought their meat [the machmud they gave way] to relieve their souls.
20 Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; my heart [mind] is turned [away] within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword [this word refused] bereaves, at home [in My house, My family] there is as death.
21 They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort [nacham] me: all my enemies [‘oyeb] have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have done it: you will bring the day that you have called, and they shall be like unto me.
22 Let all their wickedness come before you; and do unto them, as you have done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart [mind] is faint.

Lamentation 2 [[from the previous post, with additions in double brackets]]
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 [[as in Loruhamah]]: 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 [[shuwb ‘achowr – returned as in time of old, drawing back the line of His bow]] right hand [His power and work] from before [paniym – of His presence against] the enemy [[‘oyeb – the haters]], and he burned against Jacob [[those endlessly wrestling with Him and His word unknown]] like a flaming fire, which devours round about.
4 He has bent his bow like an enemy [[‘oyeb]]: he stood with his right hand as an adversary [[tsar]], and slew all that were pleasant to the eye [[whited sepulchers, wherein are held the unwitting dead]] in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
5 The LORD was as an enemy [[‘oyeb]]: 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 [[mow’ed – at this appointed time]]: the LORD has caused the [[this]] solemn feasts and Sabbaths [[this time appointed, of My interrupting the words and works of men, for their correction]] to be forgotten in Zion, and has despised in the indignation [za’am [[-which ends in the destruction of the wicked]]] 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 [[‘oyeb]] 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 [[are those who don’t know the present LORD among them]]: 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 [[refusing to speak My words to My people]]: [[because they refuse this word]] 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 [[the things I see for them]] do fail with tears, my bowels [[wherein are My people I have swallowed]] are troubled, my liver [[My deepest thought]] is poured upon the earth, for [[because of]] the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings [[those brought up in corruption]] swoon in the streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers [[their teachers]], 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 [[nephesh – their breath, life]] was poured out into their mothers’ bosom [[cheyq]].
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 [[nacham]] 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 [[‘abar – pass from this death into life]] clap their hands at you [[to get your attention]]; they hiss and wag their head [[they draw attention to you and are in disbelief that you choose to remain in this condition]] 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 [[their word that have torn you to pieces]]: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it [[their end]].
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 [[as foretold in Loruhamah]]: and he has caused your enemy to rejoice over you, he has set up the horn [the power] of your adversaries.
18 Their heart [[minds, in their affliction]] cried unto the LORD, O wall of [[protection 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 [[the consequences of their teaching]], and children of a span long [[tippuch – grow in understanding if nursed by such corruption]]? shall the [[LORD’s]] priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the LORD?
21 The young and the old lie [[dead]] on the ground [[‘erets – in all the earth]] in the street [[by going their own ways]]: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword [this word they refuse]; you have slain [[shown]] them [[to be the dead]] in the day [[by this light coming]] of your anger [[‘aph – Your presence manifested]]; you have killed [[let all die, as warned at the fall]], 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.

The word cheyq, in verse 12 above, rendered mothers’ “bosom,” means “from an unused root, apparently meaning to inclose; the bosom (literally or figuratively):–bosom, bottom, lap, midst, within.” It, logically, has an affinity to the chek, meaning “probably from 2596 in the sense of tasting; properly, the palate or inside of the mouth; hence, the mouth itself (as the organ of speech, taste and kissing):–(roof of the) mouth, taste.” The word it (chek) is “probably” from, is the five times used word chanak (2596), meaning “to narrow (compare 2614); figuratively, to initiate or discipline:–dedicate, train up.” In these definitions we see cheyq is referring to a co-perspective, conscience, like mind with the LORD by His teaching: mercy found in His correction.

Proverbs 22
5 Thorns and snares [the piercing traps of misleaders] are in the way of the forward [who twist and pervert truth]: he that does keep his soul [shamar nephesh – who guards his life from the misleading of the froward] shall be far from them [their traps].
6 Train up [chanak] a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

This “dedication” is spoken of in Deuteronomy 20:5, and more deeply in Genesis 14:14, where the once used word chaniyk (from chanak) appears. Both the former and latter tell us it’s the preparation of a Godly life and the war that accompanies it when necessary.

Deuteronomy 20
4 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
5 And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that has built a new house, and has not dedicated [chanak] it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate [chanak] it.

Genesis 14
10 And the vale of Siddim [among the dead] was full of slime-pits [chemar]; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah [in flames and ruin] fled, and fell there [into death]; and they that remained fled to the mountain [to Abraham, the LORD’s protection].
11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals [all their sources of strength: all their understanding], and went their [own] way.
12 And they took Lot [luwt – the covering, ignorance of the LORD’s presence, over all the world, all except the very few elect], Abram’s brother’s son [who are held in death’s sleep], who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained [chaniyk] servants, born [again] in his own house [mortals who thereby putting off corruption, put on their immortality], three hundred and eighteen [numbers representing completion, ordinal perfection, which brings the victory over those bearing the mark, confusion, of the beast: Babylon], and pursued them unto Dan [this judgment day].

The word chemar, above in verse 10, rendered “slime-pits,” only appears two other times, in Genesis 11:3, telling of the “slime” that was used as mortar when building the tower of Babel (which is why, when softened by the sun rising, it easily and inevitably fell, as {above} did Sodom and Gomorrah); and in Exodus 2:3 where it’s the “slime” that kept the waters of Egypt’s river out of the ark in which Moses was placed to save him (from the death those waters brough upon all the other children of God’s people).

In these passages, we understand the “slime” is what keeps understanding, given in words of life or death, from entering the minds of man.

In Exodus 2:3, the difference is the chemar is mixed with “pitch,” understanding the rivers of Egypt (double strait, oppression, tyranny in church and state) were turned to death. The word here rendered “pitch” is the three times used word zepheth, meaning “unused root (meaning to liquify); asphalt (from its tendency to soften in the sun).”

The latter word (zepheth, with affinity to tsaphan: speaking of what is hidden therein, under the cover) refers us to its only other two uses, in Isaiah 34:9, speaking of when these rivers (of death) are understood (to be blood: darkness draining the life from those into whom they flow). As we know, this chapter, after the above, in verse 11, is one of the three times the words tohuw and bohuw appear together, and the only three times the latter word appears. The other two times, Genesis 1:2 and Jeremiah 4:23, they are rendered “without form, on void,” all three speaking of the condition the earth became (hayah), when (also) darkness covered the face (presence) of the deep understand, which only returns when this light comes: the LORD (the Holy Spirit) unknown among us moving upon the face of the waters: revealing the deep understanding held (reserved for His use in this time of war) below the surface.

Isaiah 34
1 Come near, you nations, to hear [shama’ – obey]; and hearken, you people: let the earth hear [shama’ – obey], and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
2 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies [fighting against Him with their words of ignorance]: he has utterly destroyed them, he has delivered them to the slaughter [they are all dead flesh].
3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcasses [dead flesh perceived], and the mountains [the institution of government, church and state, they have corrupted] shall be melted with their blood.
4 And all the host [this army] of heaven [the corrupt places where understanding be] shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together [galal] as a scroll [their ignorance shall be silenced, like a stone rolled to cover their wells]: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree [and men shall no longer be fed their confusion].
5 For my sword [this word from the mouth of the LORD] shall be bathed in heaven [places where understanding should be found and isn’t]: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea [Esau, the enemies mixed among us], and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah [among His flock], and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
7 And the unicorns [the one power, speaking of Babylon] shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8 For it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.
9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch [zepheth], and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch [zepheth – burning fires of darkness].
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up forever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl [who hunt in the darkness] also and the raven [those covered in darkness] shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion [tohuw – without form], and the stones of emptiness [bohuw – and void – as in Genesis 1:2 and Jeremiah 4:23].
12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
13 And thorns [misleaders, overgrown the garden because of the neglect of those in whose charge it was lefts] shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles [deceivers] in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be a habitation of dragons [those who poison and devour with their ever-open mouths speaking men’s corruption], and a court for owls [those who hunt {souls} in the darkness].

The only time, other than in Lamentations 2:12 above, Jeremiah used the word cheyq, is in Jeremiah 32:18, a verse which begins with him quoting from Exodus 20:6, speaking of the LORD’s “mercy,” from the word checed, the word in Jeremiah 32:18, rendered “lovingkindness.”

Jeremiah 32
14 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel [my flesh], that they may continue [long-suffer to deliver them] many days.
15 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
16 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,
17 Ah LORD God! behold, you have made the heaven and the earth by your great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for you:
18 You show lovingkindness [checed – the promised “sure mercies of David,” which is Fatherly correction and not the destruction of those who choose to love Him] unto thousands, and recompenses [mercy, to coprrect] the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom [cheyq – bringing them into a co-perspective with My mind] of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts [a man of war], is his name [is My identity],
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for your eyes are open [paqach] upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
20 Which have set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt [those now held in this double strait], even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and have made you a name, as at this day;
21 And have brought forth your people Israel [those who receive this promise, by faith that I Am present doing this] out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;
22 And have given them this land [‘erets – this new earth I Am creating], which you did swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey [by which men learn to refuse evil and choose good];
23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil [they’ve chosen] to come upon them:
24 Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans [using their evil advice, words as spells, causing men to do their evil work], that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence [all speaking of effects of refusing this word]: and what [the evil] you have spoken is come to pass; and, behold, you see it.
25 And you have said unto me, O LORD God, Buy you the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Exodus 20
4 You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness [creations of your own minds] of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And showing mercy [checed – lovingkindness] unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Exodus 15
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 [is His identity].
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 [checed – lovingkindness] have led forth the people which you have redeemed: you have guided them in your strength unto your holy habitation.

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

John 15
12 This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you [giving you this word as received].
13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his LORD does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
18 If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the [corrupt] world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his LORD. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake [my identity manifested in you], because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hates me hates my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter [parakletos – the Paraclete] is come, whom I will send [as My Spirit unknown] unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And you [when you realize My presence] also shall bear witness [of my identity present in you], because you have been with me from the beginning.

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

Matthew 11
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal [apokalupto – apocalypse: take away the cover: remove the corruption hiding] him.

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

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

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