20 – 23 August 2025
I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand: for you have filled me with indignation.
The above, Jeremiah 15:17, is Jeremiah speaking of those mocking him because he is speaking in the LORD’s name, and declaring His presence therein. The word rendered “alone” in badad, meaning “separate; adverb, separately:–alone, desolate, only, solitary.” This portion of the passage says he is the only one among the desolate in whom the LORD is manifesting His presence (paniym – “because”) in His work (“hand”).
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.
“The assembly of mockers” is from the words cowd and sachaq, respectively meaning “a session, i.e. company of persons (in close deliberation); by implication, intimacy, consultation, a secret,” and “to laugh (in pleasure or detraction); by implication, to play.”
The word rendered “indignation,” as the LORD’s in Jeremiah (a name, identity, meaning, Jehovah rising to save His people, by rising in them raising them from death into life) is za’am, meaning “strictly froth at the mouth, i.e. (figuratively) fury (especially of God’s displeasure with sin).”
We know this word (za’am) from its use (twice) in Isaiah 10; verse 5 telling of the communists among us (as the LORD’s rod (correction), the staff (their counsel) in their hand (work) His “indignation”) filling the void left when God’s people left Him (His counsel); verse 10 then telling us the LORD’s “indignation” ceases (kalah – as in its two uses in Daniel 12:7) in their destruction.
The LORD begins His revelation of these present-day events (the great catastrophe foretold in His words) in Daniel’s words, when he “alone” found himself as the one man through whom the LORD spoke and worked.
Daniel 10
5 Then I lifted up my eyes [was raise into seeing as the LORD sees], and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen [bad – #906, clothed alone], whose loins were girded [prepared with these treasures of heaven] with fine gold of Uphaz [referring us to Jeremiah 10:9 and its only other use speaking of the idols men created and put in this holy place]:
6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face [paniym – His presence] as the appearance of lightning [understanding], and his eyes as lamps of fire [by His sight showing the way through the darkness], and his arms and his feet [His work and way, by which He leads us] like in color [rightly dividing the light] to polished brass [revealing His identity], and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude [repeating His word as received].
7 And I Daniel alone [bad – #905] saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision [by the LORD sight given]; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 Therefore I was left alone [bad – #905], and saw this great vision, and [of now when] there remained no strength [understanding] in me [those sitting in the place of God’s judgment]: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength [as in Daniel 12:7, the time into which the LORD manifests His presence in the destruction of the wicked].
9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face [paniym – in His presence], and my face [paniym – His presence] toward the ground [‘erets – against the old and corrupt earth].
10 And, behold, a hand touched me [the affect, the work, that begins the rising], which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
11 And he said unto me, O Daniel [judgment of God], a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto you, and stand upright [be resurrected into life with Me]: for unto you am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day [of the LORD’s new creation] that you did set your heart to understand, and to chasten [subordinate you ideas to the LORD’s] yourself before [paniym – realizing the presence of] your God, your words were heard, and I Am come for your words [to again put the LORD’s words in your mouth].
Daniel 12
1 And at that time [of the promised end reached] shall Michael [who is made in God’s likeness] stand up [‘amad – resurrected in these last days], the great prince which stand for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – the tribulation], such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the [now opened] book.
2 And many of them that sleep [this is Abram deep sleep – Genesis 15:12] in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [give understanding] as the brightness of the firmament [the exposition that divides the words of men from the words of God, which God called Heaven]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets]: many shall run to and fro [diligently seeking this knowledge], and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold [I saw], there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river [during the time when the book is sealed and opened].
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen [bad – #906, a lone voice], which was upon the waters of the river [of time carrying this word of God forward], How long shall it be to the end [qets] of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen [bad – #906, a lone voice] which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that lives for ever that it shall be for a time [mow’ed – an appointed time when the book was closed], times [mow’ed – now when it is opened and we congregate into the LORD’s ONE LIVING BODY], and an half [chetsiy – when this word is split open again and rightly divided]; and when he shall have accomplished [kalah] to scatter the power [by corrupting the true word of God, and it isn’t in them effectually working to bring them to life] of the holy people, all these things shall be finished [kalah].
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my LORD [‘adown], what shall be the end [‘achariyth – the last days] of these things?
As often discusses, this chapter gives the formula (time and times – both from mow’ed, meaning the appointed time and congregation) and numbers of days that add up to the time of Abram’s deep sleep, beginning then and ending now: when the LORD Himself reveals them as He opens the book and we find ourselves written therein.
Daniel 12
9 And he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified [barar – purged of the corruption that holds them in death’s sleep], and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily [necessary] sacrifice [declaring “thus says the LORD”] shall be taken away, and the abomination [men’s word’s and ways, as idols put in God’s place] that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days [the time, and one of the times].
12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [the other of the times – adding the time 1290 + (to the times 1290 + 1335) = the number of years since Abram’s {Abraham’s} deep sleep began and it was here revealed – see Genesis 15:12].
13 But go you your way till the end [qets – the full end, now when we are awakened] be: for you shall rest, and stand [‘amad – from the sleep in death be resurrected] in your lot at the end [qets – the full end] of the days [here spoken of].
This brings us to (the understanding of) this time of the great catastrophe, now when the communists have power over the world, and the world is oblivious of it. For those who don’t know it, the central banks, the Federal Reserve at their head, are communist creations, as are their ideological apparatchiks, like Obama and his appointees, including Jerome Powell.
Those in these banking positions, and the institutions designed by their ilk to seize communist control of economies, lacking checks or balances, operate with total autonomy toward their communist ends (the destruction of capitalism, liberty, and private property).
Marx’s Communist Manifesto espoused the Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of central banks, controlling national currency, and with an exclusive (isolated and inaccessibly fortified) monopoly. The Fed was created by the 1913 Federal Reserve Act and was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson (a communist). It quickly became the key factor (reducing the money supply through high interest rates) causing, exacerbating (by not lowering rates as the economy slowed or after it crashed), and continuing (by keeping rates high for years) the Great Depression of 1929. The Fed is (Powell and his board, politburo, are) trying to take us there again, intentionally, knowing the way from its own past.
These people, Powell specifically, cannot and should not ever be trusted to act or speak in good faith. Their underlying intentions are deception, ungodly manipulation, and destruction.
The Greek word katastrophe (catastrophe) only appears twice, rendered “subverting” in 2 Timothy 2:14, and as “overthrow” in 2 Peter 2:6. Its meaning is given as, “from 2690; an overturn (“catastrophe”), i.e. demolition; figuratively, apostasy.” It is from the twice used word katastrepho, meaning “to turn upside down, i.e. upset,” and is rendered “overthrew” in Matthew 21:12 and Mark 11:15.
In the previous post, we saw the word strepho, meaning to turn or reverse, as the origin of strebloo, the word used to tell of those who “wrestle” with the word of God to their own destruction (apoleia).
The following, ending with Hebrews 2, is from the previous post.
Isaiah 28
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell [sheol – the habitation of the dead] are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore, thus says the LORD God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation [for the new earth]: he that believes shall not make haste [chuwsh – when I hasten the end of the wicked]. [Isaiah 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one {tsa’iyr} a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten {chuwsh} it in his time {when the LORD is revealed by His everlasting light manifested in the flesh}.]
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail [this word frozen in heaven until now] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place [the lies of the wicked].
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell [sheol] shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge [of correction] shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down [as dung upon the dunghill] by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation [because of the filthy conversation of the wicked] only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – to hear this word as the voice of Jehovah, His arm revealed, and obey].
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].
The word rendered “unstable” is the twice-used word asteriktos, meaning “unfixed, i.e. (figuratively) vacillating,” as in not solid (elements as vapor).
The word rendered “wrestle” is the once-used word strebloo, meaning “to wrench, i.e. (specially), to torture (by the rack), but only figuratively, to pervert.” It (strebloo) is from the strepho, meaning to turn or reverse, as in turning the truth of God into a lie.
The word rendered “unlearned” is amathes, meaning “from 1 (as a negative particle) and 3129 [matheo – meaning to learn, and thereby understand]; ignorant.”
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 (separated elements) 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 [hupotasso] the world to come, whereof we speak.
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 [that] 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.
The two uses of katastrepho (bringing down those who’ve perverted the word of God, and turned His truth into a lie) tell of when the LORD “overthrew” the tables of the “money changers.”
The Thayer’s Greek Lexicon says the meaning of kollubister is “a money-changer, banker.” The word is from kollao and the Hebrew word batsar (see Jeremiah 49:9 below), the first meaning “to glue, i.e. (passively or reflexively) to stick (figuratively),” or join with, and the other means “to clip off; specifically (as denominative from 1210) to gather grapes; also to be isolated (i.e. inaccessible by height or fortification).”
The word (kollubister) refers to those who charge endless interest, leaving the debtor stuck with excessive rates. It, in our time, speaks of what the Fed is manipulating while shielded from any oversight or checks, and of what is legally allowed but is morally and ethically a crime against all who submit to it.
The modern system of commercial banking is this: loan money with a long amortization (payments determined by the term: years), with the initial years being mostly interest paid. These loans typically have a “balloon,” meaning the balance becomes due after only a few years, requiring it to be refinanced, re-amortized, with all the same fees, expenses, and term as the first time.
Jeremiah 49
8 Flee you, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan [double judgment – of perverted church and state institution]; for I will bring the calamity of Esau [the enemies mixed among us, who claim they are our friends and neighbors: brethren] upon him, the time that I will visit [paqad – appear as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to] him.
9 If grape-gatherers [batsar] come to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough [the bankers never have enough].
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places [see Obadiah verse 6 below], and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbors, and he is not.
11 Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.
12 For thus says the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and are you he that shall altogether go unpunished? you shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink of it.
13 For I have sworn by myself, says the LORD, that Bozrah [the one flock] shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
14 I have heard a rumor [shmuw’ah – this report] from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather you together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
15 For, lo, I will make you small among the heathen, and despised among men.
16 Your terribleness has deceived you, and the pride of your heart, O you that dwell in the clefts of the rock, that holds the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from thence, says the LORD.
17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goes by it shall be astonished [surprised by their own ignorance], and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion [the second face of the unfolding presence of the LORD] from the swelling of Jordan [again the proud speaking the word that have carried all into death and hell] against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him [the proud] run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint [paqad – make chief overseer] over her? for who is like me [like Michael is]? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me [paniym – as My presence manifested]?
20 Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman [where wisdom should be and isn’t]: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out [I am]: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21 The earth is moved at the noise [qowl – this voice] of their fall, at the cry the noise [qowl – this voice] thereof was heard in the Red sea [bringing these waters upon the enemies pursuing God’s people].
22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle [the final face of the unfolding presence of the LORD, when His voice is exalted above all others], and spread his wings [these words as what lifts Him] over Bozrah [the entire flock]: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom [Esau] be as the heart of a woman in her pangs [the words of the wicked bringing forth the LORD’s flock to combat them with His word].
Obadiah
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up [ba’ah]!
7 All the men of your confederacy [those you’re joined with] have brought you even to the border: the men that were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you; they that eat your bread have laid a wound under you: there is none understanding in him.
8 Shall I not in that day, says the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 And your mighty men, O Teman [the place of the so-called wise of the world], shall be dismayed [be ignorant], to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
21 And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.
When katastrophe appears in 2 Peter 2:6, it is in speaking of the “overthrow” of Sodom and Gomorrah, “making them an example unto those that after live ungodly.”
As previously discussed, Peter, in 2 Peter 2, speaks of these cities’ overthrow and Lot being the only man delivered from their destruction. He says his (Lot’s) deliverance is from the “filthy conversation” of the wicked who vexed him daily.
2 Peter 2
6 And turning the cities of Sodom [in flame] and Gomorrah [in ruin] into ashes condemned them with an overthrow [katastrophe], making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly [asebeo – only appearing here and in Jude 1: “saying, Behold, the LORD cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly {asebeo} committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”];
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation [anastrophe – the evil behavior of those acting out a corrupt foundation] of the wicked [which marks them in head and hand: in ideas and works, as evil]:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The LORD knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations [from doubting He is present], and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government [God’s dominion]. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities [doxa – the LORD’s glory revealed].
As we know, the wicked he speaks of are the false teachers among us who’ve produced and now defend the corrupt foundation, who he describes as the sons of perdition (who turned the truth of God into a lie and are destined to perish) in the fires created by following their ideas and works (false teaching and false prophesying intended to delude further the minds of the now insane).
2 Peter 1
18 And this voice which came from heaven [when we received full understanding] we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star [phosphoros] arise in your hearts [changing the foundations of your mind]:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy [propheteia – things spoken before, later seen as the Father’s glory in {the crown on the head of} those through whom He spoke and in those through whom He reveals the mysteries held therein] of the scripture is of any private [of men’s] interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost [the LORD in them, unknown to the world and working all things toward this moment of awakening by His righteous interpretation, for which the mysteries are reserved].
2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily [secretly, from their own imaginations, create lies] shall bring in damnable [apoleia – that cause them and those who follow their ways to perish] heresies, even denying the LORD that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction [apoleia – perdition].
2 And many shall follow their pernicious [apoleia – the ways that lead to their own destruction] ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of [as it is this day].
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned [fraudulent] words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation [apoleia – perishing, perdition] slumbers not [because they are awakened “to shame and everlasting contempt”].
The word rendered “overthrow,” in the “example” destined to befall the ungodly, in Jeremiah 49:18 above, is the six times used word mahpekah, said to be from haphak, meaning to “to turn about or over; by implication, to change, overturn, return, pervert.” Every time the word mahpekah appears, it’s telling of when the LORD “overthrew” Sodom and Gomorrah.
The word (mahpekah) is spiritually, through the context of Peter’s using it (of the word as waters), and its (the word) compounding from mah (what) and pakah, a once-used word meaning “to pour;” rendered “run out” in Ezekiel 47:2.
The following, ending with Ezekiel 37, is from the post of 19 January 2022, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things [[batsar – gathering this fruit together and freely giving it, without interest, and all I ask is that you return it, to Me in My people, as received]], which you know not.
The LORD continues from the above, Jeremiah 33:3, in verse 6, saying, “Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.”
He is speaking of His people when all their leaders are dead (in spirit) at the hands of the Chaldeans: those who’ve used their words to manipulate and control the world into destroying itself (draining its life and killing its spirit by feckless leadership).
The American Heritage Dictionary says feckless means; 1) Careless and irresponsible; 2) Feeble or ineffective; 3) Spiritless; weak; worthless.
The “cure” He speaks of is His revealing an abundance of peace and truth. These are the great and mighty things He’s shown those who’ve called unto Him.
The word “cure” is from the Hebrew word marpe’, meaning “curative, i.e. literally (concretely) a medicine, or (abstractly) a cure; figuratively (concretely) deliverance, or (abstractly) placidity.”
This cure is the same we saw spoken of in the previous post, in Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelation 22:2.
Ezekiel 47
1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward [from darkness], and led me about the way without [[chuwts – street, as in Revelation 22:2 below]] unto the utter [[chuwts – to street]] gate by the way that looks eastward [toward the light rising]; and, behold, there ran out [[pakah – are poured out]] waters on the right side.
3 And when the man that had the line [assessing the condition of this generation] in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters [this word of God]; the waters were to the ankles.
4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over [[‘abar – because of corruption, no man could any longer by them cross from death into life]]: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in [[sachuw – only used here, said to mean a pond {fouled waters}; more accurately from schuwq and sachaq {as in Jeremiah 15:17, “mockers” in the title verse}, meaning they are words mocking this truth]], a river that could not be passed over [[‘abar – no one can pass from death into life, because the word of God is defiled by those swimming in them, making sport of them]].
6 And he said unto me, Son of man, have you seen this [[yes LORD, I have seen them as you see them]]? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink [[saphah – the lips, the word from there]] of the river.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank [[saphah]] of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country [[this place were the light has risen and brough a new day]], and go down into the desert, and go into the sea [the people of the world at large – the nations]: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters [truth shall be restored to discourse and good leadership] shall be healed.
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that lives, which moves, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river comes.
10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim [these are fountains that flow from the sacrifices]; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea [life returned to where before all were dead – Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea {all humanity}; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea {because they were led into it}.], exceeding many.
11 But the miry places [[bitstsah – with affinity to batsar, waters clouded by corruption, by the feet of man]] thereof and the marshes [[gebe – the reservoirs of defiled waters]] thereof shall not be healed [the waters fouled by the wicked]; they shall be given to salt.
12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat [[giving the strength that comes by understanding]], whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed [they shall not fail]: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine [[truwphah – only used here, the remedy {truth}]].
Revelation 22
1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations [[those who haven’t known the LORD]].
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name [[idenity]] shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the LORD God gives them light [understanding]: and they shall reign forever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the LORD God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things.
9 Then said he unto me [[as I say unto all]], See you do it not: for I am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God [[alone]].
10 And he said unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, LORD Jesus.
21 The grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Jeremiah 33
14 Behold, the days [have] come, says the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.
17 For thus says the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Thus says the LORD; If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
23 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Consider you not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD has chosen, he has even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25 Thus says the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
When the LORD, above in Jeremiah 33:15, speaks of the Branch of righteousness, He refers to what He said earlier in chapter 23. There He is speaking against the pastors, priests, and prophets who’ve destroyed and scattered His flock. He tells of now when He sends His one king and good shepherds to gather His flock again into ONE BODY, under the one shepherd spoken of in Ezekiel 34:23 & 37:24.
Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD.
2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited [[paqad]] them: behold, I will visit [[paqad]] upon you the evil of your doings, says the LORD.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking [[paqad – without a Chief Overseeer]], says the LORD.
5 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The LORD Our Righteousness.
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, says the LORD.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness [[in their own ignorance]]: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation [[pquddah – the same as paqad]], says the LORD.
16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart [[their own imaginations]], and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17 They [the wicked leading them] say still unto them that despise me, The LORD has said, You shall have peace [when I have told them there is no peace for the wicked or those following them]; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18 For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD, and has perceived and heard his word? who has marked his word, and heard it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind [from where His voice is heard] of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days [[‘achariyth – these last days of darkness; this after life now come]] you shall consider it perfectly.
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear [[shama’ – and obey]] my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23 Am I a God at hand, says the LORD, and not a God afar off [[rachowq – these last days, now when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power]]?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? says the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? says the LORD.
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name [[identity]] by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal [the gods of this world, men who’ve put themselves in My place].
28 The prophet that has a dream, let him tell a dream [and it shall be as chaff blown away by the My wind]; and he that has my word, let him speak my word faithfully [for it is the wheat that shall remain]. What is the chaff to the wheat? says the LORD.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? says the LORD; and like a hammer that breaks the rock [[the false Christs, in whose words men put their trust]] in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that steal my words [this word] every one from his neighbor.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He says [[when He hasn’t said anything to them, and their words mock the truth]].
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, says the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness [what they say they understand [[and saying this word is a worthless burden]]]; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says the LORD.
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? you shall then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, says the LORD. [Matthew 11: 28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden {with these wicked men’s lies}, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.]
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish [[paqad – appear as the Chief Overseer of the earth]] that man and his house.
35 Thus shall you say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What has the LORD answered? and, What has the LORD spoken?
36 And the burden of the LORD shall you mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
Ezekiel 34
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of [[paniym – My presence on]] the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
8 As I live, says the LORD God, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
9 Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
10 Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from [[the words from]] their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
11 For thus says the LORD God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is [[present]] among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day [[when understanding has left the earth and all are ignorant of Me]].
16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.
Ezekiel 37
22 And I will make them one nation in the land [[‘erets]] upon the mountains of Israel [[My government on the earth among My people who receive this promised end]]; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land [[‘erets – the earth]] that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children forever: and my servant David shall be their prince forever.
26 Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Jeremiah 15
11 The LORD said, Truly it shall be well with your remnant; truly I will cause the enemy to entreat you well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction [tsarah – the time of Jacob’s trouble, this great tribulation we are in].
12 Shall iron [men’s words] break the northern iron [this sword of the LORD, which they ignorantly reject] and the steel [nchosheth – it’s the “brass” of Danile 10:6 above, also the “brass” serpent mentioned twice in Numbers 21:9, who is Christ, whose voice is exalted above all others, and it’s the “brasen” wall below in verse 20]?
13 Your substance and your treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders [this end].
14 And I will make you to pass with your enemies into a land which you know not: for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn upon you [to melt away the corrupt elements that made the world blind and ignorant].
15 O LORD, you know: remember me, and visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth to] me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered rebuke.
16 Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was unto me the joy [the realization of Your presence therein] and rejoicing of my heart [mind]: for I am called by your name, O LORD God of hosts.
17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers [sachaq], nor rejoiced; I sat alone [badad] because [paniym] of your hand [I realized Your presence was first in me alone manifested in Your work]: for you have filled me with [Your] indignation [za’am].
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, [Your ONE BODY] which refuses to be healed? wilt you be altogether unto me as a liar [not raising us from the dead as promised], and as waters [like men’s words] that fail?
19 Therefore, thus says the LORD, If you return, then will I bring you again, and you shall stand [in the resurrection] before me [paniym – as My presence]: and if you take forth the precious from the vile [rightly dividing the word of God from the words of men, the waters above from the waters below, in the firmament, this expansion, this exposition, which God calls the new heaven, when men have learned to choose good and refuse evil], you shall be as my mouth: let them return unto you; but return not you unto them.
20 And I will make you unto this people a fenced [batsar – a gatherer of good fruit] brasen [nchosheth] wall: and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD.
21 And I will deliver [natsal – as firebrand plucked, harpazo {“caught up”}, from the fires] you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
The word nchosheth is (compounded) from a shortened form of nachah and the word ‘ashath, together speaking of the one man, alone (badad), the LORD uses to lead us by shining this understanding through him.
From the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary:
Strong’s #5148: nachah (pronounced naw-khaw’): a primitive root; to guide; by implication, to transport (into exile, or as colonists):– bestow, bring, govern, guide, lead (forth), put, straiten.
Strong’s #6245: `ashath (pronounced aw-shath’): a primitive root; probably to be sleek, i.e. glossy; hence (through the idea of polishing) to excogitate (as if forming in the mind):– shine, think.
Deuteronomy 32
4 He is the Rock [Christ, who can be trusted], his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot [the blemish of the wicked] is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do you thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he your father that has bought you? has he not made you [His new creation], and established you [as His first generation resurrected from the dead]?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the LORD’s portion [inheritance] is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land [‘erets- the earth], and in the waste [tohuw – without form] howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye [as pupils taught to see as he sees].
11 As an eagle [the fourth and final face of the unfolding presence of the LORD] stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings [kanaph – this voice of His exposition], taketh them, bears them on her wings:
12 So the LORD alone [badad] did lead [nachah] him, and there was no strange god with him.
Psalms 5
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto you will I pray.
3 My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto you, and will look up.
4 For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.
5 The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.
6 You shall destroy them that speak leasing [lies]: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.
8 Lead [nachah] me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face [paniym – by manifesting Your presence with me, in me].
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat [where their words of death are held] is an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Destroy you them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy [in the realization of Your presence with us, in us], because you defend them: let them also that love your name [identity] be joyful in you.
12 For you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor wilt you compass [‘atar – crown] him as with a shield [tsinnah – from tsen, meaning thorns].
Psalms 8
A Psalm of David
1 O LORD, our LORD, how excellent is your name [shem – identity] in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens. [Psalms 118:26 Blessed be he that comes in the name {shem -identity} of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, You shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name {onoma – identity} 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 [‘atar] 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].
