2 – 4 August 2025

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

The ten verses that follow the above (Matthew 5:1 & 2) are known as the beatitudes: nine states of mind by which those possessing (possessed by) and acting upon them are “Blessed.” Following them is a call to act upon them, the LORD saying the possessed (by what is the Father’s character) are the salt and light of the world, a shining city on a hill that should not be hidden.

Matthew 5
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit [without worldly power or position]: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn [for the earth become without form and void, when all understanding is darkened]: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek [not destroying as do the destroyers of the earth]: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart [mind cleared of corruption]: for they shall see God [see Titus 2:13 & 14 below].
9 Blessed are the peacemakers [teaching and preaching His ways of sustainable peace and security through mutual respect for the life, liberty, and property of all, through equal justice]: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake [as is so obvious in this time in history, like never before]: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt [God’s people] have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 You are the light [understanding and life] of the world. A [conspicuous] city that is set on a hill [Zion] cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle [as I have enlightened you], and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light [this word, this understanding, this life] unto all that are in the house [all who are invited into the family of God, made His children by His correction].
16 Let your light so shine [as the sun rising, shining from east to west, this word the Father has given us to be given] before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For truly I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments [the blessings above], and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do [obey and repeat this word] and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees [the religious who are now realized to be the darkened sun], you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 You have heard that it was said of them of old time, You shall not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause [which is cultural prejudice now apparent against all that is good and normal] shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, You fool [saying he is a fool unworthy of receiving this word of the LORD], shall be in danger of hell fire.

The Greek word rendered “blessed,” nine times above, is makarios, meaning “a prolonged form of the poetical makar (meaning the same); supremely blest; by extension, fortunate, well off:– blessed, happy(X -ier).”

The deeper meaning in makarios is found in the Hebrew word makar, meaning “to sell, literally (as merchandise, a daughter in marriage, into slavery), or figuratively (to surrender):–X at all, sell (away, -er, self).”

This latter word is that used in telling of Joseph (Genesis 37:28), from the pit (hell) “sold” into slavery, and upon whom (his seed, in this ‘achariyth: these last days of darkness) comes the blessings spoken of in Genesis 49:22 – 26.

All these mentioned words, from the opened mouth (stoma) of the LORD, His teaching (through us, in us), lead us to the larger picture found in their comprehensive consideration (diverse manners, here and now congealed).

The word stoma, rendered “mouth” in the title verse, means “probably strengthened from a presumed derivative of the base of 5114; the mouth (as if a gash in the face); by implication, language (and its relations); figuratively, an opening (in the earth); specially, the front or edge (of a weapon).”

It (stoma) is said to be from the once-used (in Hebrews 4:12) word (5114) tomoteros, meaning to decisively cut: from the words temno, meaning to cut with a single stroke, and teros (tereo), meaning “to guard (from loss or injury, properly, by keeping the eye upon)”.

Hebrews 3
7 Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost says, Today if you will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence [that the LORD is with us, in us] steadfast unto the [expected] end;
15 While it is said, Today if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts [minds], as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard [His voice], did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses [entered the Promised Land, now the new earth].
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief [not believing that the LORD is always with us, and under His command, we are invincible].

Hebrews 4
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed [that this preaching is the word from the mouth of the LORD] do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works [provided in the first creation, in His word] were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limits a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts [open your minds to what is here heard, and obey His voice].
8 For if Jesus [Joshua] had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remains, therefore, a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper [tomoteros – decisively cutting error away from truth, to protect it] than any two-edged sword [machaira – from mache, meaning a battel or controversy], piercing even to the [rightly] dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner [kritikos – only used here, meaning “decisive (“critical”), i.e. discriminative”] of the thoughts and intents of the heart [mind].
13 Neither is there any creature [any of God’s creation] that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom [I Am] we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens [this place of full understanding], Jesus the [perpetual] Son of God, let us hold fast our profession [that the LORD is with us, in us speaking and working].
15 For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities [lack of strength: lack of understanding]; but was in all points tempted [to doubt the LORD is with us, in us] like as we are, yet without sin [without error].
16 Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace [into His presence, where His voice is heard], that we may [in the conversation at His mercy seat] obtain mercy, and find grace [this gift of these treasures] to help in time of need.

The voice of the LORD, heard from His mouth (stome), is His sharp sword. The word stoma is twice rendered “edge,” in Luke 21:24 and Hebrews 11:34, in describing the sword (machaira) as words from men’s mouths.

It is also the sword (from rhomphaia – rhome phaino – strength shining) from the LORD’s mouth (stoma), by which He wars against those destroying the people.

Revelation 2
13 I know your works, and where you dwell, even where Satan’s seat [of power] is [in the governments of church and state]: and you holdest fast my name [My identity], and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas [“like the Father”] was my faithful martyr, who [for declaring My presence with him, in him] was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam [hired to curse God’s people, which God turned into a blessing], who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication [to interact with those who put themselves in God’s place].
15 So have you also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes [those destroying the people], which thing I hate.
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against [polemeo – “to be (engaged) in warfare, i.e. to battle”] them with the sword [rhomphaia – My strength shining] of my mouth [stoma].

Revelation 19
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war [polemeo].
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name [identity] written, that no man knew, but he himself [I know exactly who I Am].
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood [protecting me from the corrupt elements of the world]: and his name [identity] is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean [purity by which I have seen God].
15 And out of his mouth [stome] goes a sharp sword [rhomphaia – strength shining], that with it he should smite the nations [all those who haven’t known the LORD]: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name [identity] written, King Of Kings, And LORD Of Lords.

Luke 21
22 For these be the days of vengeance [ekdikesis – meaning “vindication, retribution,” from ek, meaning from where, or through, comes dike, meaning “right (as self-evident), i.e. justice (the principle, a decision, or its execution)”], that all things which are written may be fulfilled. [Referring to Deuteronomy 32:35 & 41, verse 30 there speaking of the LORD, our Rock, selling {makar} us into this moment, from where we are redeemed in His vengeance, vindication as a blessing upon the desolate, by which the new heaven and earth are blessed {makarios}]
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath [this word rejected when it comes as a sword from His mouth] upon this people.
24 And they shall fall [as the stars from heaven: found to be without understanding of the moment] by the edge [stoma – the LORD’s mouth] of the sword [machaira, with affinity to makarios, are referring to the Hebrew word mah charar, meaning what is forged in the fires, like a sword, of the LORD’s anger], and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles [those who don’t know the LORD, at His coming], until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled [pleroo – complete, when none know Him, as it is this day].
25 And there shall be signs [these are the signs, semeion, 2 Thessalonians 2:8, which are the deceptions and delusion that come by the work of Satan, which result in none knowing the LORD, and therefore refusing the love of His truth, this word from His mouth] in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations [of all who haven’t known Him with us, in us], with perplexity; the sea [humanity] and the waves [those risen over it, swelled with pride in what they think the know] roaring [speaking in the LORD’s name against Him];
26 Men’s hearts [minds] failing them for fear [of opposing these proud waves], and for looking after those things which are [unexpected] coming on the earth: for the [corrupt] powers of heaven shall be shaken [by his voice now shaking heaven and earth, to shake the wicked from them]. [Hebrews 12:25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven {this place of full understanding}: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made {by men}, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire.]
27 And then [when the things men have created and put in the LORD’s place are removed] shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud [the place where understanding is in separated elements, from where they are brought together and now sent] with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass [as you now see them], then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh.
29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 When they now shoot forth [as does His word here], you see and know of your own selves that summer [as in the quwts] is now nigh at hand.
31 So likewise you, when you see these things come to pass [the LORD’s words here come and have grown into a great tree], know you that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Truly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled [ginomai – “to cause to be (“gen”-erate), i.e. (reflexively) to become (come into being)”].
33 [The old and corrupt] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words [this word] shall not pass away [parerchomai – referring us to its use in 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night {unknown in the darkness, ignorance that covers the world}; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise {the voice of the LORD heard from His mouth}, and the elements {stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas of man, only knowing a small part of the bigger picture} shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.].
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts [minds] be overcharged with surfeiting [kraipale – only used here, meaning “a headache (as a seizure of pain) from drunkenness”], and drunkenness [methe – meaning an intoxicant, as in minds confused by what they have consumed], and cares of this life, and so that day [this time when light, understanding, has] come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch you therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

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 teacher 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 take 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.

The “snare” spoken of by the LORD, in Luke 21:35 above, is from the five times used Greek word pagis, which speaks of this word of God, with which men who refuse the LORD’s teaching and are therefore unlearned and unstable, wrestle to their own destruction (forever learning things that aren’t true and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth).

The following, ending with the paragraph after Hebrews 2, are excerpts from the post of 18 June 2025, with today’s additions in double brackets.

1 Timothy 6
[[9 But they that will be rich [plouteo – see Revelation 3 below] fall into temptation and a snare [pagis], and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.]]
11 But you, O man of God [I Am, Timothy, the title only appearing here in the New Testament], flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto you are also called, and have professed [homologeo – saying the same things] a good profession [homologia] before many witnesses.
13 I give you charge in the sight of God, who quickens all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession [homologia – the same words, fighting the good fight];
14 That you keep this commandment [entole – the charge I have vowed to keep] without spot [unstained by men’s corruption], unrebukable, until the appearing [epiphaneia – the epiphany, the moment of realization, of the presence] of our LORD Jesus Christ:
15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and LORD of Lords;
16 Who only has immortality [athanasia], dwelling in the light [this understanding] which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded [thinking their wealth makes them superior], nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy;
18 That they do good, that they be rich [plouteo] in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate [this good word of God];
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay [as I have] hold on eternal life.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust [this dispensation the Father has given me], avoiding profane and vain babblings [which have become the language of this generation], and oppositions of science falsely so called [antithesis gnosis pseudonumos – the arguments falsely named knowledge {anti-truth used against this truth of God}]:
21 Which some professing [epaggellos – announce themselves as if they are authors and finishers] have erred concerning the faith. Grace [this gift of salvation, from which these men have erred] be with you. Amen.

As we understand from 2 Peter 3:16, those on the wrong side of this fight, who with many (now in most cases knowingly) false opinions, wrestle with this Truth and are the sons of perdition (apoleia).

2 Peter 3
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 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 [unknown in this time of men’s ignorance of God]; in the which the heavens [the corrupt understanding of men] shall pass away with a great noise [this voice of the LORD], 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 [the LORD’s] 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 divers 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?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

In the current moment, when the invading army among us is showing itself not to be citizens but instead our antithesis, the communist agitators (Cultural Marxists: a truth the same conspirators, joined in the same evil spirit, now define as “conspiracy theory,” just as they always define truth as it emerges apparent) shift the world’s focus to world war, just as they shifted it from Ukraine to the invaders. They, the deep state and their (intentionally corrupt or useful idiot) media: enemies foreign and domestic, create one crisis after another, always keeping the focus away from their deeper undermining (remember, it’s all about interest rates and energy prices – manipulating economies, disrupting the “free” flow), all (the deep and the superficial) designed to achieve a single globalist goal, the collapse of the US, and with it the end of traditional western civilization.

Revelation 3
13 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen [from the Hebrew word ‘amen], the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; [Isaiah 65:16 That he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth {‘amen}; and he that swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth {‘amen}; because the former troubles {tsarah – the tribulation} are forgotten, and because they are hid {cathar} from my eyes. 17 For, behold {you shall see it}, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.]
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
16 So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue you out of my mouth [stoma].
17 Because you sayest, I am rich [plouteo], and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire [of my anger], that you may be [truly] rich [plouteo]; and white [pure] raiment [true protection against the corrupt elements of the world, by which we see the LORD], that you mayest be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye-salve, that you mayest see [as I see].
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcomes [nikao] will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame [nikao], and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.

Friends, you must, as I do, believe the LORD is truly with us, ONE God alive in us, with Almighty power, and when we believe and confess Him, He will, as promised, through us, overcome the world. Believing this and acting, having this faith, is your obedience fulfilled.

The LORD has sent me to be not just a king, but a father to His many children, giving power to become such (the children of God) to any who truly believe and act. This is the faith that overcomes the world.

2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I [Timothy, a son of David, a man of God, a man of war, and a minister of God] 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 thinks] he is Christ’s, even so are we [truly] 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.

Romans 13
1 Let every soul be subject [hupotasso – subordinate] unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained [tasso, meaning “to arrange in an orderly manner, i.e. assign or dispose (to a certain position or lot)”] of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resists [antitassomai] the power [God has arranged and instituted], resists [anthistemi – stand against] the ordinance [diatage] of God: and they that resist [anthistemi – stand against] shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the [Almighty] power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword [machaira – this word of God against evil] in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil.
5 Wherefore you must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for [the correction of the] conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay you tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
8 Owe no man any thing [be not influenced when you are given what is due you], but [owe] to love one another [to give as you’ve been given]: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
9 For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
10 Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law [the spirit therein, which is to produce sustainable peace and security, between men and nations].
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of [death’s] sleep: for now is our salvation nearer [egguteron – only used here, from the word eggus, which we saw in previous posts, rendered “at hand”] than when we believed [now receiving what we hoped for, faithfully waiting for this expected end].
12 The night [time of ignorance] is far spent, the day [light, understanding, life] is at hand [eggizo]: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness [ignorance], and let us put on the armor of light [this full understanding that protects us from the works of devils].
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day [this time when light has come]; not in rioting and drunkenness [with stupefied minds], not in chambering and wantonness [not sleeping until the bed is defiled], not in strife and envying.
14 But put you on the LORD Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

John 16
26 At that day you shall ask in my name [in My identity in you, speaking and working]: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. [John 14: 20 At that day you shall know that I Am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.]
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb.
30 Now are we sure that you knowest all things, and need not that any man should ask you: by this we believe that you came forth from God.
31 Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?
32 Behold, the hour comes, yea, is now come, that you shall be scattered [as you have been], every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father [I Am] is with me.
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have [by declaring these things to the blind and unbelieving world] overcome [nikao] the world.

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 loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest [emphanizo – meaning “to exhibit (in person) or disclose (by words)”] 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 death upon His body: the church], LORD, how is it that you will manifest [emphanizo – meaning “to exhibit (in person) or disclose (by words)”] 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 – meaning “to guard (from loss or injury, properly, by keeping the eye upon)”] 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 keeps [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 [identity], he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart [minds] be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 You have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe.

1 John 3
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear [phaneroo – become apparent] what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear [phaneroo – become apparent], we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself [by which we see God], even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin [hamartia – refuses to share in this prize] transgresses also the law [nomia – is without this word from the mouth of God, by which man lives]: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And you know that he was manifested [phaneroo – become apparent] to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins has [not been thereby purified and therefore] not seen him, neither known him.
7 [My] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Titus 2
11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to [epiphaino – shined this understanding upon] all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present [new] world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of [epiphaneia] the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise you.

2 Thessalonians 1
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith grows exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other abounds;
4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the LORD Jesus shall be revealed [apokalupsis – this is the true apocalypse] from heaven with his mighty angels [those who carry this message to the world],
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the LORD, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Hebrews 1
6 And again, when he bringeth in the first-begotten into the world, he says, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he says, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he says, Your throne [in Your children], O God, is forever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
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 shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years 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?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

1 John 5
1 Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loves [receives this word from] him that begat loves [giving this word to] him also that is begotten of him.
2 By this we know that we love [and bring forth to life] the children of God, when we love God, and keep [tereo] his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep [tereo – meaning “to guard (from loss or injury, properly, by keeping the eye upon)”] his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous [not a burden].
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcomes [nikao] the world: and this is the victory that overcomes [nikao] the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcomes [nikao] the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is he that came by water and blood [referring to John 19:34, speaking of this word and the necessary sacrifice to declare it], even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit [the LORD unknow in us speaking and working] that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven [with full understanding], the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost [His work unknown, revealing Himself in His word]: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit [the LORD working unknown], and the water [His word revealed], and the blood [the necessary sacrifice in the flesh to do so]: and these three agree in one.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his Son [Himself dwelling in our flesh].
10 He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself: he that believes not God has made him a liar; because he believes not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name [identity] of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing ACCORDING TO HIS WILL he hears us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16 If any man sees his brother sin a sin which is not unto death [not blaspheming the LORD’s work while He is unknow or known with us, in us], he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death [blasphemy – demonizing and vilifying the LORD’s work, calling His good evil]: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God [by His word received] sins not; but he that is begotten of God keeps [tereo – meaning “to guard (from loss or injury, properly, by keeping the eye upon)”] himself, and that wicked one touches him not.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world [effected, possessed, by Satan’s touch] lieth in wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 [My] Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Revelation 21
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea [humanity at large, the whole world lying in wickedness and thereby dead].
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes [quoted from Isaiah 25:8, the passage saying, [7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people [apocalypse means to remove the cover], and the vail that is spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the LORD God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has spoken it. 9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.]; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end [of ages]. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water [this word] of life freely.
7 He that [by believing this] overcomes [nikao] shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death [the dead choosing to remain dead].

Psalms 104
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honor and majesty.
2 Who covers yourself with light [understanding] as with a garment: who stretches out the heavens like a curtain:
3 Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters [His word]: who makes the clouds [where understanding is kept when it is removed from the earth] his chariot: who walks upon the wings [kanaph] of the wind:
4 Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7 At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder [the sound of understanding] they hastened away.
8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which you have founded for them.
9 You have set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 He sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
13 He waters the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works.
14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15 And wine that [changes minds] makes glad the heart of man, and oil [that fuels the light] to make his face to shine [paniym – His presence giving us light, understanding], and bread [God’s word expanded upon] which strengthens man’s heart [rational mind].
16 The trees [upright] of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon [purity], which he has planted;
17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
19 He appointed the moon [civil governments] for seasons: the sun [the church] knows his going down.
20 You make darkness [ignorance], and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
21 The young lions [the second face of the unfolding presence of the LORD God] roar [His word] after their prey, and seek their meat [this deep understanding] from God.
22 The sun [the church] arises, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
23 Man goes forth unto his work and [like an ox] to his labor until the evening.
24 O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your riches [the treasure from His storehouse].
25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26 There go the ships [in the church institution]: there is that leviathan [the priesthood], whom you have made to play therein.
27 These wait all upon you; that you may give them their meat [this deep understanding] in due season.
28 That you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good.
29 You hide your face [paniym – His presence], they are troubled: you take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust [‘aphar – the ashes of the earth’s ruin without Him].
30 You send forth your spirit, they are created [again from the ashes]: and you renew the face of [paniym – by Your presence] the earth.
31 The glory of the LORD shall endure forever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles [ra’ad]: he touches the hills, and they smoke.
33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless you the LORD, O my soul. Praise you the LORD.
