13 – 15 August 2025
I will declare your name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise you.
The word rendered “name” is shem, meaning “a primitive word (perhaps rather from 7760 [suwm or siym – meaning to put] through the idea of definite and conspicuous position; compare 8064); an appellation, as a mark or memorial of individuality; by implication honor, authority, character:–+ base, (in-)fame(-ous), named(-d), renown, report.”
As the LORD has led us to understand, the word (shem) speaks of identity. In the title verse, Psalms 22:22, a Psalm of David, it tells of the resurrected LORD (His identity) realized and “declared.”
As we know, the LORD, from the cross, quoted from the first verse of this Psalm, which the crowd misinterpreted as Him calling to Elijah to come take Him down, when in fact He was invoking the Psalm while declaring, not only the Father’s identity (‘el), but also that by it (the Psalm) He understood what was occurring.
The following, ending with Psalms 19, is from the post of 15 July 2025, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Mark 15
32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calls Elijah.
36 And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar [their bitter words], and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40 There were also women looking on afar off [[here and now]]: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women [[churches]] which came up with him unto [[New Heavenly]] Jerusalem.
42 And now when the even [[now when darkness covers the earth]] was come, because it was the preparation [of their awakening], that is, the day before the sabbath [when the light comes before the interruption is realized, when the LORD, intervening for correction, stops the words and works of men],
43 Joseph of Arimathaea [Ephraim and Manasseh, the children of Joseph, those who’ve forgotten God, their own identity, upon whom this second blessing has come to awaken them in Ramah], an honorable counsellor [not respecting the corruption of men], which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate marveled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulcher [the church institutions, where the dead are held] which was hewn out of a rock [the mouths of men, from where His manifested presence disappeared], and rolled a stone [the words of men, with which they hoped to keep Him] unto the door of the sepulcher [among the dead]. [Why do you seek the living among the dead?]
When verse 34 above quotes Psalms 22:1, it is the LORD referring us to the passage declaring where He was then going and where He is now found. Then and now, the experts, the LORD’s enemies and accusers, misinterpreted who He was calling upon. They fail to realize He was telling of His faith in His Father (not Elijah), taking Him into this time where He is loosed, and now made apparent, alive in me, in us.
When Hebrews 13:23 tells us to “know brother Timothy is [I Am] set at liberty” the Greek word (rendered “set at liberty”) is apoluo (meaning loosed away), the same word used as Pilate declares he has the power “to release” Jesus, and when telling of the custom “to release” (by popular vote) one prisoner.
The quoted Hebrew words, from Psalms 22:1 (“My God, my God, why you forsaken me?”), in the original text are – ‘El ‘el lo’mah’ azab, meaning: God, God, [they know] not what [that you have] loosed [me]. The words that follow in the original text are: rachowq yshuw’ah, meaning: [into this time] far off [when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power, to be a] deliverer [Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh]. His flesh (one who becomes two, and then as many as the sand of the seashore) is the veil torn in two, behind which is revealed Jehovah’s presence.
The words lo’ mah (lama), “know not [[what]],” are referring to what Luke describes hearing the LORD say from the cross: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”
The word sabachthani, is more thoroughly explained as ‘azab chatham, the sentence thereby saying: they know not that (lo’ mah) I Am loosed (‘azab) because it is sealed until the time of the end (chatham, with intentional affinity to chathan: bridegroom).
Here is the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definition of chatham: to close up; especially to seal:–make an end, mark, seal (up), stop.
And the definition of ‘azab is: to loosen, i.e., relinquish, permit, etc.
Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the LORD God is upon me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek [who shall inherit the earth]; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort [lead into all truth] all that mourn [and repent];
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might [in them] be glorified.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 But you shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God [from whom His word flows]: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you boast yourselves.
7 For your shame you shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion [inheritance]: therefore in their land [‘erets – the earth they inherit] they shall possess the double: everlasting joy [realizing the LORD with us, in us] shall be unto them.
8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD has blessed [Ephraim – meaning both double ruin and double blessing, an appellative of God’s people in this last generation].
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom [chathan] decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the LORD God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Psalms 22
1 My God, my God, why have [lo’ mah] you forsaken me [‘azab]? why are you so far [rachowq] from helping me [yshuw’ah], and from the words of my roaring [preaching Your word as commanded, as the second face of the LORD’s unfolding presence]?
2 O my God, I cry [[qara’]] in the day time, but you hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 But you are holy, O you that inhabit the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in you: they trusted, and you did deliver them.
5 They cried unto you, and were delivered: they trusted in you, and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon you from the womb: you are my God from my mother’s belly.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; and you have brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs [endlessly barking in the darkness: this time when total ignorance of God covers the earth] have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 But be not you far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste you to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion’s mouth [those preaching corruption in Your name]: for you have heard me from the horns of the unicorns [the One and Only true power, Your Almighty presence].
22 I will declare your name [Your identity alive, resurrected, in me] unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise you.
23 You that fear the LORD, praise him; all you the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you the seed of Israel.
24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid [cathar – see Psalms 19:6 & 12 below] his face [paniym – presence] from him [from me]; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows [obeying Him as I vowed I would, preaching the word He’s given me, declaring it is Him alive with me, in me] before them that fear him.
26 The meek [who will inherit the earth] shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that [diligently] seek him: your heart shall live forever.
27 All the ends of the world [ending the old and beginning the new] shall remember [zakar] and turn [shuwb – return] unto the LORD [Jehovah]: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before You [paniym – in Your presence].
28 For the kingdom is the LORD’s: and he is the governor among the nations [all the world that hasn’t known Him].
29 All they that be fat [who prosper under the LORD’s governance] upon the earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust [descend, choose to remain, in the hell, the ruin they’ve created] shall bow before him [paniym – in His presence]: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the LORD for a generation [the first of His new creation].
31 They shall come [from death into life], and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born [into His new creation], that he has done this.
Isaiah 62
1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace [chashah – I will not be silent], and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest [shaqat – repose, sleep], until the righteousness thereof go forth [by the voice of my awakening] as brightness [understanding], and the salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh] thereof as a lamp [[as in Genesis 15:17, during Abram’s deep sleep {verse 12} in the furnace]] that burns [as a flame from My mouth showing the way to those in darkness: ignorance].
2 And the Gentiles [those who haven’t known the present LORD] shall see your righteousness, and all kings your [the LORD’s] glory [as His presence manifested in our flesh]: and you shall be called by a new name [His identity before unknown in us], which the mouth of the LORD shall name [His name, His identity, when we join with Him as ONE flesh BODY].
3 You [His ONE BODY joined with Him in His work, His war to exalt His voice above all others] shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD [crowning us by His work revealing His identity, His glorious presence, with us, in us], and a royal diadem in the hand [the work] of your God.
4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken [Hebrews 13, speaking of His revealing what has always been, “for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. 6 So that we may boldly say, The LORD is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.]; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah [“My delight is in her,” speaking of God’s people historically, using this name that only appears once elsewhere, of the mother of {raising up – teaching} Manasseh {meaning he forgot the LORD God [[not only the name of Joseph’s son, but also of Hezekiah’s son]]}, the king who brought in idols and put them in God’s place; here become repentant and remembering God], and your land Beulah [ba’al – meaning joined with the LORD who is the head, has dominion over, the BODY]: for the LORD delights in you, and your land [‘erets – the earth] shall be married [ba’al – under Him, having joined with the head].
5 For as a young man marries [ba’al] a virgin, so shall your sons marry [ba’al] you [in the LORD’s OND flesh BODY]: and as the bridegroom [chathan – speaking of the revealed one; here and above are the only two times the word appears in Isaiah] rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
6 I have set [paqad – overseers seeing as I see] watchmen [shamar] upon your walls [as your protection, seeing what is coming and warning against it, which the enemies have and do violently oppose and resist {as the identity of Satan is manifested in them, in their words and works against humanity: against life, liberty, and property}], O [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [My people as My shining city on a hill that can never be hidden], which shall never hold their peace [chashah – never keep silent [[with affinity to chashab – making the thoughts known]]] day nor night: you that make mention [zakar – remember, me and all those joined in this bond] of the LORD [this is the part the current watchmen fail to realize is necessary, to mention it is the LORD alive in us, present with us, speaking and working the Salvation of His people who receive Him], keep not silence [dmiy – mention the present LORD; “if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light {understanding} in them.”],
7 And give him no rest [dmiy], till he establishes [kuwn], and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth [‘erets].
8 The LORD has sworn [shaba’ – completed] by his right hand [His power coming from there as rays of light], and by the arm of his strength [this work giving His understanding], Surely I will no more give your corn to be meat [this nourishment of this deep meaning] for your enemies [who, with intention, corrupt it]; and the sons of the stranger [whom I haven’t known or spoken to] shall not drink your wine [this word I sent to change men’s mind, returning them to reality and sanity, the joy of realizing My presence], for the which you have labored [faithfully and diligently seeking this understanding]:
9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD [for His life-giving gift]; and they that have brought it [the elements of understanding] together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10 Go through, go through the gates [out of hell and into the kingdom of heaven, where all things are understood, in the LORD’s ONE BODY]; prepare you the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones [the misleaders whose words cause the people to stumble]; lift up [ruwm – raise, exalt above all others] a standard [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted, as Moses lifted the fiery serpent in the wilderness, as the LORD commanded] for the people.
11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed unto the end of the [old and corrupt] world [‘erets – earth], Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold [see as the LORD sees], your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him [paniym – declares His presence].
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Psalms 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament [this exposition] shows his handywork [the work of His hand, in which His glory is revealed].
2 Day unto day [understanding sent to give understand, giving His light, He] utters speech [through His children], and night unto night [in this time when ignorance covers the earth in darkness, He speaks to the ignorant, to] show knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their [His children’s] voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their [His children’s] words to the end of the [old] world. In them [His words in His children] has he set a tabernacle for the sun [His dwelling place in His people, whose rising with Him is the new day come],
5 Which is as a bridegroom [chathan – the only time the word appears in the Psalms, speaking of the covered One revealed] coming out of his chamber [us; to join with all His people at large], and rejoices as a strong man [the Almighty] to run a race [this course set before us].
6 His going forth is from the end of the [old and corrupt] heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it [ending the old and beginning the new]: and there is nothing hid [cathar – meaning “to hide (by covering)”] from the heat thereof [all His treasure, hidden as if frozen in a Stone, are revealed by Him in this trial by fire].
7 The law of the LORD is perfect [tamiym – filling us to completion], converting [shuwb – returning to Him] the soul: the testimony [‘eduwth – kept, guarded and preserved in the ark] of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [that we speak this word as received] is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter [in our mouths] also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his [own] errors [shgiy’ah – straying away from the LORD]? Cleanse [by Your correction] me from secret faults [cathar – with affinity to catham, chatham, and chathan – hiding what should be made known, uncovering the One covered by straying away from Him].
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins [presuming things that aren’t true]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression [of those who’ve trespassed into things forbidden].
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
In the post of 4 August 2025, we discussed the origin of LORD, in Revelation 3:14, being called (identified as) “the Amen.” We saw it in the Hebrew word ‘amen, usually rendered “Amen,” and we focused on its anomalous renderings in Isaiah 65:16.
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 say, I am rich [plouteo], and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel you to buy of me gold 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.
The one other time the word ‘amen (meaning “from 539; sure; abstract, faithfulness; adverb, truly”) is rendered something different (than Amen and truth) is in Jeremiah 11:5, where it’s “so be it.”
Jeremiah 11
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD saying,
2 Hear [shama’] you the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 And say you unto them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeys [shama’] not the words of this covenant,
4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land [‘erets – the earth] of Egypt [in this double strait, oppressed by the institutions of church and state], from the iron furnace, saying, Obey [shama’] my voice [qowl], and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall you be my people, and I will be your God:
5 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land [‘erets – this new earth] flowing with milk and honey [by which men learn to refuse evil and choose good], as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it [‘amen – truth], O LORD.
6 Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim [qara’] all these words in the cities of Judah [among the leaders of My people], and in the streets of Jerusalem [to all my people at large], saying, Hear [shama’] you the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land [‘erets – the earth] of Egypt [double strait], even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey [shama’] my voice [qowl].
8 Yet they obeyed [shama’] not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart [mind – relying on their own erroneous opinions]: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not.
9 And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy [qesher – the “confederacy” {of the ignorant} of Isaiah 8:12, listening to wizards that peep and mutter, instead of listening to the LORD: Immanuel: God with us, in us] is found among the men of Judah [the totally corrupt leader of God’s people, bound together by their own corrupt thinking], and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem [God’s people taught and misled by these misleaders]. [the only time the word qesher appears after this is in Ezekiel 22:25, saying “there is a conspiracy {qesher} of her {false} prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion {saying they are speaking My words} ravening {scattering} the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things {these gifts from My treasury}; they have made her many widows {without a living man to the lead, protect, and defend them} in the midst thereof.”]
10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers [first fathers – like those before the flood, like before the LORD rescued Abram], which refused to hear [shama’] my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers [Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob].
11 Therefore thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape [without obeying My voice]; and though they shall cry unto me [to the idol they put in My place and call by My name], I will not hearken [shama’] unto them.
12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods [men sitting in My place] unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble [ra’ – evil they choose].
13 For according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to that shameful thing [bosheth – trusting in your oppressors; see its use in Isaiah 30], even altars to burn incense unto Baal [the lords of this evil world]. [Isaiah 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: 2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh {the evil powers}, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! 3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame {bosheth}, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.]
14 Therefore [You who hear and obey the LORD’s voice] pray not you for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble [ra’ – evil they choose].
15 What has my beloved [those remain in their deep sleep] to do in my house, seeing she has wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed [‘abar] from you [from life gone into death’s sleep]? when you do evil, then you rejoice.
16 The LORD called your name [shem – identity], A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise [qowl – voice] of a great tumult [hamullah – only appearing one other time, in Ezekiel 1:24] he has kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. [Ezekiel 1:24 And when they {the cherubim} went, I heard the noise {qowl – voice, in this conversation above the mercy seat, wherein the LORD’s presence is manifested} of their wings {kanaph}, like the noise {qowl – voice} of great waters {this word from the mouth of the LORD}, as the voice {qowl} of the Almighty, the voice {qowl} of speech {hamullah}, as the noise {voice} of an host {the LORD’s army}: when they {the army} stood, they let down their wings {kanaph – the words of the cherubim were heard as the LORD’s word, as they are}.]
17 For the LORD of hosts [whose identity is as a man of war, at the head of His army] that planted you [here in the earth], has pronounced evil against you, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
18 And the LORD has given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then you showed me their doings.
19 But I was like a lamb or an ox [working in the earth, as the third face of the LORD unfold presence manifested] that is brought to the slaughter [the necessary sacrifice]; and I knew not that they had devised [chashab – thoughts, plotted] devices [machashabah – what plot against the LORD] against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree [I Am, the tree of life] with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land [‘erets – the earth] of the living, that his name [shem – identity] may be no more remembered.
20 But, O LORD of hosts, that judges righteously, that tries the reins and the heart [thoughts of men’s minds], let me see your vengeance on them: for unto you have I revealed my cause.
21 Therefore thus says the LORD of the men of Anathoth [whose answer has come to the LORD, which is that they will not hear and obey], that seek your life, saying, Prophesy not in the name [shem – in the identity] of the LORD, that you die not by our hand:
22 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish [paqad – manifest My presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to] them: the young men shall die by the sword [this word for My mouth, which they refuse]; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine [without this word of God]:
23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring [the] evil [they’ve chosen] upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation [pquddah – My appearing as the Chief Overseer of the earth].
Jeremiah 50
24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have strived [garah – waged war] against the LORD.
25 The LORD has opened [pathach – as when one like the son of man touched Daniel’s mouth and it was “opened” – Daniel 10:16] his armory [‘owtsar], and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation [za’am]: for this is the work of the LORD God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans [against those who’ve used their words to manipulate humanity into hell].
26 Come against her from the utmost border [qets – this full end], open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
27 Slay all her bullocks [those doing this work of misleading into hell]; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation [pquddah – now, when I Am here as the Chief Overseer of the earth].
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to [open their mouth and] declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
29 Call together the archers [whose bows are steel] against Babylon: all you that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do unto her: for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD.
31 Behold, I am against you, O you most proud, says the LORD God of hosts: for your day is come, the time that I will visit [paqad] you.
32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
33 Thus says the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts [a man of war] is his name [My identity]: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet [raqaz – pour His anger upon] the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 A sword [of David] is upon the Chaldeans, says the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures [‘owtsar]; and they shall be robbed.
38 A drought is upon her waters [this word of God heard not heard in them]; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad [become insane] upon their idols.
39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
41 Behold, a people shall come from the north [shall come out of ignorance], and a great [new] nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts [the end of the old and corrupt, where their proud waves are stayed, beginning the new] of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, everyone put in array, like a man to the battle, [as My awakened army] against you, O daughter of Babylon [that ruled the world into confusion, delusion, and culminated in mass insanity].
43 The king of Babylon has heard the report [shama’ shema’ – understood and obeyed – acted knowing the time is of his end] of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish [tsarah – tribulation he caused] took hold [chazaq] of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail [fearing what they have brought forth].
44 Behold, he [the LORD, I Am] shall come up like a lion from [the second face of the unfolding presence of the LORD, roaring against] the swelling [proud waves] of Jordan [words that carried all in the descent into death] unto the habitation of the strong [in power]: but I will make them [the wicked] suddenly run away from her [My people they have oppressed]: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint [paqad – who I will make Chief Overseer] over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? [All these are references to Michael, who is like God and stands for God’s people in this time of Jacob’s trouble {tsarah}, and Shiloh, who comes as the shepherd and stone of God’s people – the king of peace, and king of righteousness, in the order of Melchizedek]
45 Therefore hear [shama’] you the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes [machashabah], that he has purposed [chashab] against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock [{as in Ahasuerus} “I will be silent and poor {without earthly power}”] shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46 At the noise [qowl – the LORD’s voice] of the taking of Babylon, the earth is moved [ra’ash – the shaking that brings the bead bones together and causes men to rightly discern the words they are hearing], and the cry is heard among the nations.
The word ‘amen is from ‘aman, meaning “to build up or support; to foster as a parent or nurse; figuratively to render (or be) firm or faithful, to trust or believe, to be permanent or quiet; morally to be true or certain; once (Isa. 30:21; interchangeable with 541) to go to the right hand:–hence, assurance, believe, bring up, establish, + [therefore, will not] fail, be faithful (of long continuance, steadfast, sure, surely, trusty, verified), nurse, (-ing father), (put), trust, turn to the right.”
The once-used word, ‘aman (541), mentioned in the above definition (as appearing in Isaiah 30:21), is another anomalous rendering that draws our curious attention to it.
Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt [to their oppressors], and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh [the house of the wicked who now rule the world], and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of [sitting idle, obeying] Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land [‘erets – the earth] of trouble [tsarah – in tribulation] and anguish, from whence come the young and [in the LORD’s name roaring against the] old lion [speaking God’s authentic word], the viper and [with poisonous words against the] fiery flying serpent [ther son of man lifted as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, like in Numbers 21:6 & 8, and John 3:14], they will carry their riches [the thing they thought were valuable] upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people [sitting still, not working as the LORD commands] that shall not profit them.
7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain [hebel – referring us to the other two times Isaiah uses it, in Isaiah 49:4 & 57:13], and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength [rahab – and pride] is to sit still. [Isaiah 49:4 Then I said, I have labored in vain, {following the false leading spoken in the LORD’s name} I have spent my strength for naught, and in vain {habel}: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work {I should be doing is} with my God. Isaiah 57:13 When you cry, let your companies {the false teachers you have followed} deliver {natsal} you; but the wind {of their false doctrines} shall carry them all away; vanity {hebel} shall take them: but he that puts his trust in me {the Rock from where this word flows} shall possess the land {‘erets – the earth}, and shall inherit my holy mountain;]
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come [‘acharown – for these latter days] forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before [paniym – to cease manifesting the LORD’s presence to] us.
12 Wherefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness [luwz], and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus says the LORD [‘Adonay – the King of kings] God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness [not speaking your own words] and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.
16 But you said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at [paniym – at the presence of the LORD manifested in His voice heard] the rebuke of one; at [paniym – His presence manifested in this same word repeated] the rebuke of five shall you flee: till you be left [yathar – remain] as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted – so His voice is heard above all others] on a hill.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait [be patient until the silence is ended and His word is spoken], that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him [manifested in His voice heard, obeyed, and given as received].
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: you shall weep no more: he will be very gracious unto you at the voice of your cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer you.
20 And though the LORD give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers:
21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when [the word here is kiy, “that” {when you hear it, from ‘a-man}] you turn to the right hand [‘aman – you believe and trust the one speaking], and when you turn to the left.
22 You shall defile also the covering [spoken of in verse 1] of your graven images of silver, and the ornament of your molten images of gold: you shall cast them away as a menstruous cloth; you shall say unto it, Get you hence [Get behind me Satan].
23 Then shall he give the rain of your seed, that you shall sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall your cattle feed in large pastures.
24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which has been winnowed [separating the wheat from the chaff] with the shovel and with the fan.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of [these living] waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers [from where the words of misleaders have been heard] fall.
26 Moreover the light of the moon [understanding of civil Government] shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun [the understanding of the church] shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up [chabash] the breach of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name [identity] of the LORD comes from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue [these words] as a devouring fire:
28 And his breath [the life from His mouth], as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck [releasing the words held there], to sift the nations [those who don’t know Him] with the sieve of vanity [bringing the harvests of their own worthless ways upon them]: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29 You shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept [qadash – when you declare His Holy One, repeating the LORD’s words as received]; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard [from His people], and shall show the lighting [understanding] down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian [communists in church and state] be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass [ma’abar – what Passover, this Passover], which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps [playing these songs with Him, repeating it as received]: and in battles of shaking [tnuwphah – this speaks of the LORD’s sacrifice, as a great “wave rising” among His people: the sea – so the wicked will be shaken out of the new heaven and earth I Am creating] will he fight with it.
33 For Tophet [the place of fires] is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he has made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath [the life from the mouth] of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, does kindle it.
The final time the word ‘aman appears is in Habakkuk 1:5.
Habakkuk [embrace {the one speaking}] 1
2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and you will not hear! even cry out unto you of violence [of those who’ve turned to the left], and you will not save!
3 Why do you show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence [of the left] are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment does never go forth: for the wicked [the left] does compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceeds.
5 Behold you among the heathen [those who refuse to know the LORD with us, in us], and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I [The LORD] will work a work in your days which you will not believe [‘aman], though it be told you.
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans [the left, who use their lying words as spells to manipulate and control the world into going there evil way, to the left], that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth [the broad way that leads to the destruction] of the land [‘erets – the earth], to possess [with their evil spirits] the dwelling-places [holy places of the righteous] that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed [as creations] of themselves [suiting their evil agenda].
As we know, verse 5 above is quoted in Acts 13:41, with (by the LORD’s engineering) the addition of the words “a man.”
Acts 13
32 And we declare [as in the title verse, speaking of the identity of the resurrected LORD] unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33 God has fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh] again; as it is also written in the second psalm, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you.
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure [the word sure, in this context, in Hebrew is ‘aman – see Isaiah 55:3] mercies of David. [Isaiah 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear {shama’ – and obey}, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure {‘aman} mercies of David {the promise to correct and not destroy those who receive it}.]
35 Wherefore he says also in another psalm, You shall not suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man [a man – ‘aman, the truth] is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe [in the Hebrew text the word used is ‘aman], though A MAN declares [as in the title verse] it unto you.
42 And when the Jews [Judah – the corrupt religious leaders who think they are the true believers] were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles [those who haven’t known the LORD, and don’t claim to] besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace [receiving this gift] of God.
44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul [and Timothy], contradicting and blaspheming [the word and work of the LORD unknown].
46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing you put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
47 For so has the LORD commanded us, saying [in Isaiah 49:6], I have set you to be a light of the Gentiles, that you shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new, wherein dwells the LORD’s righteousness].
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified [realizing His presence in] the word of the LORD: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
49 And the word of the LORD was published throughout all the region.
The word ordained, above in verse 48, is from the eight times used word tasso, meaning “to arrange in an orderly manner, i.e. assign or dispose (to a certain position or lot):–addict, appoint, determine, ordain, set.” We know this word from its use in the word hupotasso, meaning “to subordinate; reflexively, to obey:–be under obedience (obedient), put under, subdue unto, (be, make) subject (to, unto), be (put) in subjection (to, under), submit self unto.”
Philippians 3
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an example.
18 (For many walk [their own way], 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 [here] in heaven [here only, where understanding should be and is found]; from whence [in this conversation] also we look for the Savior [who saves us], 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 [of His word in us and then from us] whereby he is able even to subdue [hupotasso – bring into obedience] all things unto himself.
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 [messengers] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience [refusing to obey the message] received a just recompense of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect [ameleo – are apathetic: meaning given as “to be careless of:–make light of, neglect, be negligent, no regard”] so great salvation [this promised end]; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD, and was confirmed [repeated from the mouths of faithful witnesses, His angels] unto us by them that heard him [His voice as the mouth of God];
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts [this understanding that only comes from Him, by which the son is crowned] of the Holy Ghost [the LORD present but unknown], according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection [hupotasso] the world to come, whereof we speak [wherein dwells His righteousness].
6 But one in a certain place [Psalms 8:4 – 6] testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit him [as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to relay the foundations which evil man corrupted and destroyed]?
7 You made him [man] a little lower than the angels [in Hebrew, chacer’ elohiym: sent into flesh lacking the full understanding of God]; you [giving Your understanding] crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him [man, in Christ] over the works of your hands:
8 You have put all things [the world, and the fulness thereof] in subjection [hupotasso] under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection [hupotasso] under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now [because man is yet without Christ, not led by His Spirit, and blind] we see not yet all things [are] put under [hupotasso] him.
9 But we see Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation veiled in the flesh], who was made a little lower than the angels for [sent without understanding] the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor [the Father’s understanding revealed here and now]; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto [the same] glory, to make the captain [archegos – arche ago; the leader of the beginning, only used three other times, “a chief leader:–author, captain, prince”] of their salvation perfect through [long] sufferings [not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance, in which is salvation].
11 For both he that sanctifies [makes pure, removes corruption] and they who are sanctified are all of ONE [BODY]: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare your name [Jehovah’s identity, alive in me] unto my brethren, in the midst of the church [His ONE BODY] will I sing [repeat His words, exalting them above all others] praise unto you.
Psalms 8
A Psalm of David
1 O LORD, our LORD, how excellent is your name [shem] in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens. [Psalms 118:26 Blessed be he that comes in the name [shem] of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the LORD.]
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still [shabath – stop the work of] the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars [governments of state and church], which you have ordained [to rule with truth and justice, as You rule, to secure the rights You’ve given man];
4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him [paqad – making Your presence known in us, as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to reset the right foundations of the earth]?
5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels [chacer ‘elohiym – as planned, lacking the full understanding which only God possesses], and have [by giving me, and all who receive it from Him, His understanding] crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things [including his enemies] under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea [all the beasts of the earth, including men, all without the LORD’s Spirit], and whatsoever passes through [‘abar – all that Passover into life in this resurrection from death] the paths [‘orach – as pilgrims traveling] of the seas [through the ages and generations].
9 O LORD [Jehovah] our LORD [‘adown – our King], how excellent is your name [identity – seeing Your presence] in all the earth!
To the chief Musician [natsach – Chief Overseer] upon Muth-labben [upon the death of Goliath, cutting off his head with this sword]
