Because it enters not into his heart, but into the belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?
In the above, Mark 7:19, the LORD describes what defiles a man and what doesn’t. As we know, the “heart” represents the foundational mind, upon which all words and works are based, by which it (the deep mind: id-entity) is revealed.
In this passage, the LORD then, in verse 20, says, “And he said, That which comes out of the man [words and works], that defiles the man.” The word rendered “defiled” is the fifteen times used Greek word koinoo, from the word koinos, meaning “common, i.e. (literally) shared by all or several, or (ceremonially) profane:–common, defiled, unclean, unholy.”
It (koinos: defiled) is speaking of when inaccuracies prevail in thoughts that have become common: accepted, spoken of, and acted upon by all, when truth has become a foreign language.
Mark 7
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries [moicheia – leaving the LORD to follow devils who put themselves in His place], fornications [porneia, from porne, from the words porrho, meaning “from 5253 [pro]: forward, i.e. at a distance,” and the once used particle ne, meaning “to attest to;” the word therefore seen to be speaking of those who attest to things that are far from the LORD and His truth], murders [those who, by these means, maliciously take away the life from man], [See Mark 7:6 below.]
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness [aselegeia – incontinence: unable to control what comes out of their mouth], an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile [koinoo] the man.
Mark 7
6 He answered and said unto them, Well has Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honor me with their lips, but their heart [mind] is far [porrho apecho – far away] from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups [washing the outside and leaving the mind defiled]: and many other such like things you do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well you [here and now] reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, Whoso curses father or mother, let him die the death:
11 But you say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban [from Hebrew word qorban, referring us to its use in Nehemiah 13:31, speaking of this as a way become foreign: defiled], that is to say, a gift [from them and not from the LORD’s commandment], by whatsoever you might be profited by me; he shall be free [under no further obligation, to honor them]. [Nehemiah 13:29 Remember them, O my God, because they have [by taking foreign wives and adopting their strange ways] defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites. 30 Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business; 31 And for the wood [brought to fuel the fire, the necessary sacrifice] offering [qorban], at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.]
12 And you suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which you have delivered: and many such like things do you.
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile [koinoo] him: but the things which comes out of him, those are they that defile [koinoo] the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear [the voice of the LORD in this report].
In the post of 21 September 2025, we discussed the words koinos and ouranos (meaning sky, air, heaven) as compounded in the word koniortos, a five times used word, rendered “dust.” The following, ending with Luke 11, is from that post, with today’s additions in double brackets.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name [[excepting, receiving, accepting from the “outside” into our mind the identity]] of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
The LORD begins today in Joel 2:32 above, where he tells us Zion and Jerusalem are His people, the elect remnant He calls, who have called on His name. The word rendered “delivered” is the Hebrew word pleytah, meaning “deliverance; concretely, an escaped portion:–deliverance, (that is) escape(-d), remnant.”
The word rendered “remnant” is sariyd, meaning “a survivor:–X alive, left, remain(- ing), remnant, rest.”
1 Thessalonians 4
1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you [parakaleo – leading you into all truth] by the LORD Jesus [alive in us, speaking and working], that as you have received [paralambano – referring to its only other use in this Book, in chapter 2, verse 13, when they “received {paralambano} the word of God which you heard of us, you received it [[excepted, accepted from the outside, from the word ektos, meaning exterior, from where it must be received into the mind, as the end come]] not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe.” Verse 19 then tells of the joy realized, as Paul makes it plain, asking “Are not even you in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?”] of us how you ought to walk [as those who’ve received Him at His coming] and to please God, so you would abound more and more.
2 For you know what commandments we gave you by the LORD Jesus.
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification [washing away the corrupt], that you should abstain from fornication [interaction with men who put themselves in God’s place, as idol speaking their own words, which corrupt all that hear and follow them]:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel [in which the LORD dwells] in sanctification and honor;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence [coveting things that are forbidden, presuming and teaching things that aren’t true], even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 That no man go beyond [with false teaching] and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the LORD is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 For God has not [through us, in us] called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despises [those calling all into sanctification], despises not man, but God [in us, working and speaking yet unknown to those who haven’t received [[excepted – accepted from the outside]] Him], who has also given unto us his holy Spirit [His presence in us unknown, until He chooses to reveal Himself in crowning us: His corrected children].
9 But as touching brotherly love [giving this word as received] you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 And indeed you do it toward all the brethren [in Christ] which are in all Macedonia [all the house of dead flesh: the churched where the sleeping dead are]: but we beseech you, brethren, that you increase more and more;
11 And that you study [philotimeomai – labor, work] to be quiet [hesuchazo – to stop your own words and works], and to do your own business [prasso – to practice, habitually repeat the received {paralambano} word], and to work with your own [idios – separated from the corruption of others] hands, [to become sanctified] as we commanded you;
12 That you may walk honestly [without defrauding] toward them that are without [not joined with us and the LORD, as in verses 16 & 17 below], and that you may have lack of nothing [having received [[excepted – accepted from the outside]] Him and His gift].
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep [dead in Christ, His dead body], that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe [this is our hope] that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring [ago – lead, as the first begotten] with him. [2 Timothy 2:5 And if a man also strives for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strives lawfully. 6 The husbandman that labors must be first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say; and the LORD give you understanding in all things.]
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the LORD [alive in us], that we which are alive and remain [as in the words pleytah and sariyd above, the elect remnant that has escaped the corruption, and remains alive] unto the coming [as in 1 Thessalonians 2:19, quoted above, when the dead receive His word as His and Him] of the LORD shall not prevent [the ONE BODY will not rise before their awakening] them which are asleep [in death].
16 For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven [the place of full understanding] with a shout [of the LORD, calling all to gather into His ONE living Body], with the voice of the archangel [speaking this message as received], and with the trump of God [sounding the assembly]: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up [harpazo – pulled {as in Jude 1:23} from the fires, from the furnace: hell] together with them in the clouds [where understanding is found when it’s removed from the earth], to meet the LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with the LORD.
18 Wherefore comfort [parakaleo – lead into all truth] one another with these words.
As we know, the seven times used word aer, rendered “air” in verse 17 above, is fully described in its other uses.
In Ephesians 2:2, Paul speaks to those already quickened to life from their former state (in death), where they were possessed by the prince of the power of the air (aer), the spirit at work in the children of disobedience. This prince is the one spoken of in Revelation 9:2, who is fallen from heaven (leaving his first estate and is now speaking his own words), who has the key to the bottomless pit (the endless fall away from God and His truth), a furnace from where comes the smoke that darkens the sun (removes understanding from the church) and the air (aer), clouding the clarity.
In Revelation 16:17, this smoke is cleared (saying “It is done,” signifying it is the end of ignorance) by the seventh angel pouring out his vial (vessel, body) into the air (aer), which we’re told is a great voice (like that of the archangel in 1 Thessalonians 4:16) from the temple of heaven. It is in this clear “air,” in this exposition (firmament), which God calls heaven (Genesis 1:8), we join (meet) the LORD (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
We know from the two other uses of the word aer, 1 Corinthians 9:26 and 14:9, that it is into this “air” that words are spoken.
1 Corinthians 9
24 Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives [[excepts, accepts]] the prize? So run, that you may obtain.
25 And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beats [not as one who fights against God’s word in] the air [aer]:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection [under God]: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
1 Corinthians 14
[[5 I would that ye all spake with tongues [words not understood] but rather that ye prophesied [speak declaring “thus says the LORD”]: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except [ektos – from what is received from the “outside, from the LORD with us] he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.[oikodome – build up, by education]]]
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues [this word of God which you do not understand], what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine [received [[excepted – from the outside received]] from the LORD, His word from His mouth by which man lives]?
7 And even things without life-giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare [with this understanding] himself to the battle [now at hand]?
9 So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for you shall speak into the air [aer – where there are already many voices speaking their ignorant opinions, which is the smoke from the bottomless pit].
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices [[vain opinions]] in the world, and none of them is without signification.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaks a barbarian [barbaros – one who speaks a foreign language], and he that speaks [[errors]] shall be a barbarian [barbaros] unto me.
12 Even so you, forasmuch as you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that you may excel [perisseou – be superabundant] to the edifying [oikodome – build up, by education] of the church.
Ephesians 2
1 And you has he quickened [from death into life], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air [aer], the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience [[who refuse to obey His voice, even denying the One who bought them out of sin]]:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh [speaking things that aren’t true], fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace [these treasures freely given] you are saved;)
6 And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in [the ONE BODY of] Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages [the new heaven and earth He is creating] to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are you saved through faith [that these treasures are His word in which He manifests Himself with us and in us]; and that not of yourselves [not a product of our work]: it is the gift [and work] of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood [the necessary sacrifice to deliver the word] of Christ [declaring it is the LORD with us, in us].
The first use of the word aer comes in Acts 22:23, as those disputing Paul’s teaching cry out against him and throw “dust” in the air (aer). The word rendered “dust” is the five times used word koniortos, which has affinity to the words koinos (to make profane, defile, unclean, unholy) and ouranos (air, heaven, sky).
Acts 22
22 And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
23 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust [koniortos – their defiled understanding] into the air [aer – the place wherein words are heard, moving air creating sound],
24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
The word (koniortos) appears four other times, all speaking of the “dust” that cleaves to people (the corruption of understanding over time), which is shaken off as a witness against their rejection of the undefiled (uncorrupted) word delivered to them as received.
Luke 10
1 After these things, the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face [to manifest His presence in His word they give as received] into every city and place, whither he himself would come [be manifested in those who receive [[except – accept from the outside into their minds]] it as the word of the LORD, as it is].
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray you therefore the LORD of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 And into whatsoever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house [the word “peace,” speaking of the LORD’s word that He has given {left with} us, is from eirene, with affinity to the words rheo, meaning to pour forth, to speak, and {with affinity to phaino, meaning to lighten or shine upon, and phos also meaning to shine, or manifest} phemi, meaning “to show or make known one’s thoughts, i.e. speak or say:–affirm, say”].
6 And if the son of peace [the predestined, those who receive this correction and thereby become the children of God] be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again [this refers to the dust, the corrupt understanding that keeps men from receiving this truth, it shall not cleave, join, to your pure thoughts].
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick [asthenes – those without strength, without understanding] that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust [koniortos – the defiled understanding] of your city, which cleaves [kallao] on us, we do wipe off [as a witness] against you: notwithstanding be you sure of this, that [in this pure word of God we speak as received] the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom [the world as Sodom now in flames and ruin], than for that city.
13 Woe unto you, Chorazin [in the smoking furnace]! woe unto you, Bethsaida [the house of the fish – the houses that are the whale’s belly]! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15 And you, Capernaum [to whom the Comforter has come], which are exalted to heaven [saying you know all things], shall be thrust down to hell.
16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despises you despises me; and he that despises me despise him that sent me.
17 And the seventy returned again with joy [realizing His presence was with them, in them], saying, LORD, even the devils [the misleaders who put themselves in the LORD’s place, who defile His word] are subject unto us through your name [Your identity with us, in us].
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven [He saw the devils removed from the places where understanding should be found].
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents [those whose words are poison] and scorpions [whose tail, what follows their words, rots men inside], and over all the power of the enemy [mixed among us]: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, that you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in your sight.
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see:
24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.
The eirene (peace) as described above, is (by defintion) embodied in the name Jerusalem, which we well-know is from the words yara’ (yarah) and shalam, respectively meaning, “a primitive root; properly, to flow as water (i.e. to rain); transitively, to lay or throw (especially an arrow, i.e. to shoot); figuratively, to point out (as if by aiming the finger), to teach;” and “to be safe (in mind, body or estate); figuratively, to be (causatively, make) completed; by implication, to be friendly; by extension, to reciprocate (in various applications).”
Friends, it’s a simple plan: the LORD gives His word first to one person, who then shares it with a small elect group that recognizes it as His voice, and they in turn share it with the multitude – ergo, the world is saved.
When Luke 10 begins and verse 1 says “the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them,” it is referring to the first verse of the previous chapter. There we’re told of His first sending the twelve (the few laborers first sent to the harvest), who He gives the same instructions as above, verse 5 saying “And whosoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust [koniortos – their corrupt thinking that keeps them in darkness] from your feet for a testimony against them.”
In the fuller context, the next time the LORD, in Luke, uses the word eirene is in Luke 11:21, and after that in Luke 12:51.
Luke 11
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit [His presence they haven’t known] to them that ask him?
14 And he was casting out a devil [misleaders possessed by Satan, the resister of God], and it was dumb [leaving their first estate, refusing to speak His word]. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered.
15 But some of them said, He casts out devils through Beelzebub [Baal zbuwb – the latter word only used twice; in Ecclesiastes 10:1 where it’s the dead “fly” in the ointment that makes it stink; and Isaiah 7:18 where it’s {now} the communists among us with the “fly” in the words that flow from them] the chief of the devils.
16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation [referring to Luke 12:51]; and a house divided against a house falleth.
18 If Satan [all who are resisting this word of God] also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore, [the children who willingly receive the LORD’s teaching and leading] shall they be your judges.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. [The reference to the “finger” leads to Luke 16:24 when the rich man in hell asks Abraham to send Lazarus to dip his finger in water to cool the fire in his mouth, which {mouth} we know is the great uncrossable gulf {chasma} between heaven and hell, life and death. The rich man {after the LORD denies his request} then asks Abraham to send Lazarus {the priesthood that comes from death into life} to his living relatives to warn them {that they are already dead, even while in the flesh}. Abraham tells him, “If they hear [[except]] not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.”]
21 When a strong man armed keeps his palace [from the corruption of men], his goods [foundation principles, upon which His palace is built] are in peace [eirene – flowing understanding]:
22 But when a [the communists among us] stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor [the shield, the recognition of the LORD’s presence and protection] wherein he trusted, and divides his spoils [skulon – only used here, said to mean “something stripped (as a hide);” scattering his people].
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathers not with me scatters.
24 When the unclean spirit [the product of following devils] is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places [without this word of God], seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return unto my house [the church] whence I came out.
25 And when he comes, he finds it swept [of the dust] and garnished [removing what defiled it].
26 Then goes he, and taketh to him seven other [unclean] spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there [in his mind]: and the last state of that man is worse than the first [thinking he is saved, he becomes intransigent].
27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare you, and the paps which you have sucked [which taught you these things].
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [by the Father] are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet [calling all to repent, hear the word of God, and keep it].
30 For as Jonah was a sign unto the Ninevites [the perpetual children of God, who are predestined to hear the word of God, repent, and come to life], so shall also the Son of man be to this generation [those that will now choose good and refuse evil].
31 The queen of the south [the ONE BODY of Christ] shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold [after hearing she sees], a greater than Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
33 No man, when he has lighted a candle, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
34 The light [understanding and life] of the body is the eye [seeing as the LORD sees]: therefore when your eye is single, your whole body also is full of light; but when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness [ignorance and death].
35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in you be not darkness.
36 If your whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle does give you light.
Friends, the only time the word ne, meaning to attest to, appears is in 1 Corinthians 15:31, telling us receiving, accepting, the word of God, as the LORD present, is the “end” reached. In the passage, Paul tells us He (the LORD) is the “firstfruits,” spoken of above in Nehamiah 13:31, the qorban (the necessary sacrifice), resurrected at this appointed time.
1 Corinthians 1
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written [in Isaiah 29:14], I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by [corrupting] wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of [this] preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews [Judah – the leaders of God’s people, who say they are the “true believers”] require a sign, and the Greeks [the unbelieving world at large] seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ [in our flesh] crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling-block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God [in us], and the wisdom of God [in us speaking and working].
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence [with us, in us].
30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the LORD [that we understand and know Him, quoted from Jeremiah 9:24].
Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel [the Lion of God – the strength {understanding} of God, here taken and controlled by the wicked], to Ariel, the city where David [the lion of Judah] dwelt! add you year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel [it will again be My strength].
3 And I [as a man of war] will camp against you round about, and will lay siege against you with a mount, and I will raise forts against you.
4 And you shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust [as the voice of the serpent from the ruin of the earth], and your voice shall be, as of one that has a familiar spirit [of the known dead speaking words of death], out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Moreover the multitude of your strangers [teaching strange fire] shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6 You shall be visited [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] of the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war] with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight [tsaba’] against Ariel, even all that fight [tsaba’] against her and her munition [matsowd – her munitions are the root, a foundation, of righteousness], and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams [chalam], and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams [chalam], and, behold, he drinks; but he awakens, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight [tsaba’] against mount Zion [when they awaken and realize their own mind’s delusions deceived them and they have been emptied of all understanding].
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder [not knowing what you are experiencing]; cry you out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep [with no signs of life], and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers [ra’ah – those who see as God sees] has he covered [kacah].
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book [cepher] that is sealed [chatham], which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed [chatham]:
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart [the foundations of their mind – their stiocheion, the elements of their understanding, are corrupt and disordered] far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [eye opening] work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder [pele’ – at which all have wondered]: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their [wicked] counsel [‘etsah] from the LORD, and their works are in the dark [their own ignorance of reality and truth they can’t understand because it is as a foreign language], and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down [the overthrow] shall be esteemed as the potter’s [yatsar] clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed [yatser] say of him that framed [yatsar] it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon [purity seen in high places] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words [this word] of the book [cepher], and the eyes of the blind shall see [again] out of obscurity, and out of darkness [by coming out of ignorance].
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed [padah] Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale [but they will reach the end promised].
23 But when he sees his children [who have been born again out of death and hell], the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name [declare My identity Holy], and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured [against me] shall learn doctrine.
Jeremiah 9
11 And I will make [My people] Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons [tanniyn – men as serpents and whales devouring with their wide open mouths]; and I will make the cities of Judah [the current leaders] desolate, without an inhabitant [living].
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it [as I have commanded], [declaring] for what the land [‘ erets – the earth] perishes and is burned up like a wilderness [without this understanding], that none passes through [‘abar – from death into life]?
13 And the LORD says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed [shama’] my voice, neither walked therein;
14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart [minds], and after Baalim [the false gods, and their false teaching, of this world], which their fathers taught them:
15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people [with their words as poison], with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16 I will scatter them also among the heathen [as they are scattered], whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword [this word they refuse] after them, till I have consumed [kalah – the decreed end, the mow’ed described in Daniel 12:7, when the scattering of God’s people leaves them with no power, and all these things are finished] them.
17 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Consider you, and [for these things] call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning [wise] women [who now understand this], that they may come:
18 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters [giving this understanding from our minds, as in verse 1].
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded [without understanding, not knowing the LORD or His ways], because we have forsaken the land [‘erets – not been His presence to the earth], because our dwellings [in Him] have cast us out [we have cast Him aside].
20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O you women [My ONE BODY], and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
21 For death is come up into our windows [upon those who say they see], and is entered into our palaces [the current crop of corrupt leaders], to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
22 Speak, Thus says the LORD, Even the carcasses of men shall fall as dung upon the open field [as has come upon all humanity], and as the handful [only a few living] after the harvestman, and none [among men] shall gather them.
23 Thus says the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth [‘erets], for in these things I delight, says the LORD.
25 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will punish [paqad – visit as the Chief Overseer of the earth] all them which are circumcised [who think they are spiritual] with the uncircumcised [showing them to be without My Spirit];
26 Egypt [as oppressors and tyrants], and Judah [the corrupt leaders of My people], and Edom [the enemies among My people as if their brethren, who seek their destruction], and the children of Ammon [who’ve scatter My people and removed their power], and Moab [by their mouth that are the gates holding them in hell], and all that are in the utmost corners [who’ve turned all but the very elect remnant away from Me in these last days], that dwell in the wilderness [this end time desolation]: for all these nations [who haven’t know me] are uncircumcised [are without My Spirit], and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised [without My Spirit] in the heart [in their minds, even while I Am present with them].
1 Corinthians 15
13 But if there be no resurrection [anastasis] of the dead [in the flesh], then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen [away from the truth into death] asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection [anastasis] of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming [parousia].
24 Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all [corrupt] rule and all [corrupt] authority and [corrupt] power.
25 For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted [from the word ektos, meaning outside, from where it is accepted into the mind, His word is received as His and Him], which did put all things under him,
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in [us] all.
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all [see Romans 6 below]? why are they then baptized for the dead [into Christ’s death, from where we are resurrected]?
30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31 I protest by [ne] your rejoicing [realizing the LORD present with me, in me] which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily.
32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus [where I truly lived years ago, and there often fought with packs of wild dogs and rabid animals, even to the point of needing a Rabies vaccine, which almost killed me, from which the LORD raised me], what advantages it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we die.
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners [ethos – speaking of the words men corrupted and turning the truth of God into lies all have excepted – accepted from the outside as true, from which all must be changed by its, corruption’s, removal].
34 Awake [from the dead] to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 You fool, that which you sow is not quickened, except it die:
37 And that which you sow, you sow not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 But God gives it a [human] body as it has pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin [obeying erroneous teaching that blinds the dead and keeps them dumb], that grace may abound [continue to be given]?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? [1 Corinthians 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles {who don’t know the LORD} sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils {daimonion}, and not to God: and I would not that you should have fellowship with devils {daimonion}. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the LORD, and the cup of devils {daimonion}: you cannot be partakers of the LORD’s table, and of the table of devils {daimonion}.]
3 Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk [peripateo] in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together [into the new earth] in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in this new earth] in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man [obeying corruption] is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin [teaching that blinded the world and made all dead].
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he lives, he lives unto God.
11 Likewise reckon you also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our LORD.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof [seeking worldly fortunes, and not first the kingdom of God, His dominion].
13 Neither yield you your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto [doing the will of] God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law [as men have corrupted it], but under grace [this gift freely given].
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law [as some men teach], but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin [teaching that corrupts the mind] unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that you were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of [sound] doctrine which was delivered you [as received].
18 Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as you have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had you then in those things whereof you are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto holiness, and the end [accepted, His gift, His grace and mercy given from the outside {ektos} into our minds] everlasting life.
23 For the wages of [continuing in] sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our LORD.
1 Corinthians 15
42 So also is the resurrection [anastasis] of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural [flesh] body, and there is a spiritual [flesh] body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [the first-fruit of the new creation] was made a quickening spirit [I Am, with His rising from the dead in me, He will bring many back to life].
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man [natural Adam] is of the earth, earthy; the second man [Spiritual Adam] is the LORD from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image [eikon] of the earthy, we shall also bear the image [eikon – likeness that marks us as possessed by Him] of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that [those bearing the mark of the beast, without the LORD’s Spirit, their identity revealed in their words and works, as a mark in their hand and head] flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption [that marks the flesh as without the LORD’s Spirit possessing it] inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep [as dead flesh], but we shall all be changed [allasso – by His understanding as it unfolds, removing all corruption],
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye [enlightening the mind so we see Him as He is, with us, in us], at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound [the voice of His messenger, I Am, His archangel, shouting, calling, kaleo, all to join in His ONE LIVING BODY] and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [into His ONE BODY, in the air cleared of corruption, cleared of the smoke that came from the bottomless pit, into heaven, full understanding with Him, purity by which we see God].
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [flesh] must put on [spiritual] immortality [which is the anastasis: the resurrection].
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
Psalms 11
1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do [but diligently seek the LORD]?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD tries the righteous: but the wicked and him that love violence his soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loves righteousness; his countenance [paniym – presence] does behold the upright.
Psalms 47
1 O clap your hands [to get the world’s attention], all you people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2 For the LORD Most High is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations [who have known Him] under our feet.
4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound [qowl – voice] of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises [repeating this word as received] to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing you praises with [this] understanding.
8 God reigns over the heathen [who haven’t known Him]: God sits upon the throne of his holiness.
9 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted [above all other voices].
