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

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.
