Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east: And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
The LORD begins today in Ezekiel 43:1 & 2, a passage widely accepted as describing His coming, which, as with most scripture dealing with the topic, many false prophets and false teachers have distorted into fantasy and delusion. As we know, their distortions are blatant violations of God’s commandment that the book, all scripture’s deep meaning, is sealed until the “end” (a la, Isaiah 29:10 & 11, Daniel 12:9 & 10, and the sealed East Gate of Jerusalem itself, all through which the LORD enters as the light of a new day coming). Logically, these men must either believe the end came long ago or God’s command was merely vain words. In fact, as in all their falsely so-called understanding, they are, by their own words, proven to be disobedient shysters and charlatans.
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 [that doesn’t agree with their deceptions], and lay a snare for him that reproves in the [east] gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed [padah] Abraham [out of His deep sleep], 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.
The following, ending with Job 38, is from the post of 15 September 2025, with today’s additions in double brackets.
But go you your way till the end be: for you shall rest, and stand in your lot at the end of the days.
In the above, the final verse of Daniel (12:13), the word twice rendered “end” is qets, meaning “an extremity; adverbially (with prepositional prefix) after.” As the LORD has revealed, we know this “end” of days is the days spoken of earlier in the chapter, the time and times (both from mow’ed, meaning the appointed time, of our congregation: into ONE BODY) mentioned earlier in verse 7, and the numbers of days mentioned in verses 11 and 12.
As we’ve often discussed, these numbers (the time 1290 days, added to the times, 1290 days + 1335 days) give us the number of years since Isaac’s birth (the child of the promise) and the year the LORD first (here) revealed this (formula). As we also know, this time is that which Abram (Abraham) saw when the LORD first (recorded in Genesis 15) made His covenant with him, as the time of his “deep sleep.” The awakening from this (deep sleep) is the subject of Daniel 12 (as we know, because the LORD, as foretold, has now again opened the sealed book and thereby revealed it to us, in this time “after” all that must occur has occurred).
Zechariah 14
1 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you.
2 For I will gather all nations against [the dead carcass, the dead body of Christ, who with His rising in them becomes New Heavenly] Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people [the elect remnant in whom He is already risen] shall not be cut off [karath – the same spoken of in Daniel 9:26, speaking of the LORD remaining with His elect remnant, those here realizing His presence with us, in us, saying “And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off {karath}, but not for himself {not from the elect remnant}: and the people {the carcass remaining dead} of the prince {the devils in power, in God’s place in church and state} that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end {qets} thereof shall be with a flood {sheteph – a key word, see its other uses, speaking of the evil conversation of the wicked in power}, and unto the end {qets} of the war desolations {of those warring against us with their evil words, their flatteries, their deceptions masked in their claimed good intentions} are determined {charats – decreed, as spoken of in Isaiah 28:2 & 10:22 & 23}] from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
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’s 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 [[by the judgment of God]], 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?
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].
Daniel (9:26) tells of this end (qets) coming “with a flood,” from the six times used word sheteph, meaning “from 7857 [shataph]; a deluge (literally or figuratively):–flood, outrageous, overflowing.”
Isaiah 28
16 Therefore, thus says the LORD God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone [from where these life-giving waters flow], a tried stone [that can be trusted], a precious corner [pinnah] stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste [they shall not be ashamed, but shall reach this promised end].
17 Judgment [this right assessment of condition] also will I lay to the line [qav], and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail [against the current crop of corrupt leaders] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow [shataph] the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing [shataph] scourge [showt] shall pass through [‘abar – bringing you from death into life], then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over [‘abar – bringing to life those who receive it as the LORD’s voice, His work revealed], by day and by night [giving understanding to those held in darkness]: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – the voice of the LORD heard].
Again, we know the shmuw’ah (Jehovah’s voice heard) is the same “report,” spoken of in Isaiah 53:1, which says that to those who hear it as His, it is the arm (work) of the LORD revealed.
Hebrews 12
9 Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they truly for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit [sumphero – to drive together, the same meaning as prokope, see 1 Timothy 4:15 and Philippians 1:15 & 25 in recent posts, speaking of when every eye shall see it [[the profiting]]], that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Earlier in Isaiah 28, in verse 15, we know this “scourge” comes against the drunken powers (in church and state), those (whose covenant is with death, who are in agreement with hell) whose pride keeps them from being corrected, who are saying “when the overflowing [shataph] scourge shall pass through (‘abar – bringing the dead to life), it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.” The LORD’s answer is in the verses following and posted above.
Job 38
3 Gird up now your loins [prepare yourself to become] like a man; for I will demand of you, and answer you me.
4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth [this word of God, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was {IS} God.” John 1:1]? declare, if you have understanding.
5 Who has laid the measures [memad, from mad, meaning the word made to fit Him, as His “garment” and “armor”] thereof, if you know? or who has stretched the line [qav] upon it [who has expounded this word, as the firmament, which is heaven, line upon line]? [Isaiah 28:12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line {qav} upon line {qav}, line {qav} upon line {qav}; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. 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 are we at agreement; when the overflowing {shataph} scourge {showt} shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:]
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened [tala’ – set upon stone, a Rock from where this word flows]? or who laid the corner [pinnah] stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars [I and the children the LORD has given me, risen as lights in heaven] sang together [repeating His word as received], and all the sons of God shouted [declaring His presence] for joy [at the realization of Him with us, in us]?
8 Or who shut up the sea [humanity] with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9 When I made the cloud [wherein this understanding was reserved for this moment] the garment thereof, and thick darkness [ignorance] a swaddling-band for it [to protect it from its own flailing],
10 And brake up [shabar] for it [for humanity] my decreed [choq] place, and set bars and doors,
11 And said [to the words of the wicked], Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves [risen among the sea] be stayed?
12 Have you [after the proud waves of men are stopped] commanded the morning [understanding to come] since your days [by your light]; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new], that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal [My signature, name, identity, pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment.
15 And from the wicked their light is withheld, and the high arm [zroma’] shall be broken [shabar].
16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea? or have you walked in the search of the depth?
17 Have the gates of death been opened unto you [that you can as I do: disannul man’s covenant with it, and break his accord with hell]? or have you seen the doors of [men’s worthless opinions that are] the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth [its beginning and end] of the earth [ages]? declare if you know it all.
19 Where [but with God alone] is the way where light [this understanding] dwells? and as for darkness [ignorance], where [but with the wise of this corrupt world] is the place thereof,
20 That you should take it to the bound thereof [this end when the condition of the earth testifies of these men’s fecklessness], and that you shouldest know the paths to the house thereof [their ways of confusion that brought all here into mass delusion]?
21 Knowest you it, because you were then born [by coming out of confusion]? or because the number of your days [the everlasting light in you] is great [do you understand that these are the days of the deep sleep, from which I have awakened in this new day]?
22 Have you entered into the treasures of the snow [these treasures of heaven, reserved in the cloud to be sent at the moment]? or have you seen the treasures of the hail [this same word sent against the current crop of corrupt leaders],
23 Which I have reserved [in the cloud] against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
24 By what way is the light parted [rightly divided into the bow in the cloud], which scatters the east wind upon the earth [My moving unknown, shining this understanding upon all, from east to west, at My will]?
25 Who has [rightly] divided a watercourse [t’alah – raised up what men have disused] for the overflowing [sheteph] of waters, or a way for the lightning [this understanding from the cloud] of thunder [qowl – which is My voice];
26 To cause it to rain [this word from heaven, from this place of full understanding] on the earth, where no [living] man [‘iysh – no male] is; on the wilderness [this time and place where all are without understanding], wherein there is no [living] man [‘adam – where none, until this word comes, are created by the Spirit in the word];
27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground [without this water, this word from heaven]; and to cause the bud of the tender herb [new life on this third day of My new creation] to spring forth?
All the following is from the post of 16 August 2023, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Isaiah 25
1 O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things; your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 For you have made of a city an heap; of a defensed city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify you, the city of the terrible nations shall fear you.
4 For you have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 You shall bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering [lowt – only appearing here: the origin of the name Lot] cast [luwt – one of the three times the word is used] over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the LORD God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has spoken it.
The word prokope only appears two other times, in Philippians 1:12 & 25, telling of the “furtherance” of the Gospel and our joy (by uncovering what has blinded the world to the word of God and His presence, thereby manifested.
2 Corinthians 3
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail [cover] untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn [[return]] to the LORD, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the LORD is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty [into which he rescues us].
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the LORD, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.
2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god [[Satan working in those he possesses]] of this world [[now turned into hell, where the sleeping dead are held]] has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face [presence] of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels [this gift of God in our flesh, which is our joy when He from there reveals Himself when He wills], that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the LORD Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 Knowing that he which raised up the LORD Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Philippians 1
2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the LORD Jesus Christ.
3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5 For your fellowship in the Gospel from the first day until now;
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, you all are partakers of my grace.
8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
10 That you may approve things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12 But I would you should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of [prokope – scourging, goading, leading humanity into salvation by] the Gospel;
13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
14 And many of the brethren in the LORD, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the Gospel.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretense, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance [prokope] and joy of faith;
26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
27 Only let your conversation [in which the LORD is manifested above His mercy seat] be as it becomes the Gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the Gospel;
28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30 Having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
Isaiah 11
1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots [sheresh – Matthew 24:32 & 33 and Job 14:7 – 9]:
2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel [‘etsah] and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek [‘anav] of the earth: and he shall smite [nakah – scourge with correction] the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle [preparation] of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle [preparation] of his reins.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea [His word covering all His people at large].
10 And in that day there shall be a root [sheresh] of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted, as Moses lifted the brazen fiery serpent in the wilderness, so all can hear this word of God and be saved from the venomous words of the serpents attacking] the people; to it shall the Gentiles [the gowy – all who don’t know the LORD, because they are blinded to Him be the lies of the gods of this world] seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria [the communists], and from Egypt [their captivity among tyrants], and from Pathros [from the place where they are pitied], and from Cush [from the darkness: ignorance], and from Elam [all eternity], and from Shinar [from where all the vessels of the house of God were carried and there the people sleep], and from Hamath [where they are, by the lies of men, walled from seeing the LORD], and from the islands [the dry place without this word of God] of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign [nec – the son of man lifted up] for the nations [gowy – all who don’t know the LORD], and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together [into His ONE BODY] the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 The envy also of Ephraim [God’s people, as Joseph’s seed, in this generation] shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah [the adversaries of the new crop of Godly leaders He raises] shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah [there leaders], and Judah shall not vex Ephraim [the leaders shall not vex those they lead].
14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines [the immigrants in our midst] toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east [who saw the light of the LORD’s coming and rejected it] together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom [the enemies mixed among us destroying God’s people, His nation, and our better culture] and Moab [the gates, the mouths of evil men, holding the world in hell]; and the children of Ammon [those who have divided and scattered God’s people] shall obey them [the new crop of Godly leaders].
15 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the [evil] tongue of the Egyptian sea [the words of tyrants and oppressors flowing to the people]; and with his mighty wind [His almighty Spirit] shall he shake his hand over the river [the waters flowing to the sea], and shall smite [nakah – scourge with correction] it in the seven streams [the teaching coming from the corrupt church institution], and make men go over dryshod.
16 And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria [the communists]; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
Isaiah 27
1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish [paqad – visit as the Chief Overseer of the earth] leviathan [those to which the people are joined] the piercing serpent [as a misleader among them], even leviathan [Levi – the priesthood] that crooked [bariyach] serpent; and he [the LORD with us] shall slay the dragon [tanniyn – the whale, the open mouths of men that carried all humanity into hell and holds it therein – or the crocodile, death lurking below the surface of these men’s words] that is in the sea [that flows to the people].
2 In that day sing [repeat these words] you unto her, A vineyard of red wine [to change their minds].
3 I the LORD do keep it [the earth]; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers [deceivers] and thorns [misleaders] against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5 Or let him take hold of my strength [this understanding], that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Has he smitten [nakah – scourged] him, as he smote those that smote [nakah – scourged] him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
8 In measure, when it shoots forth, you will debate with it: he stays his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. [see Romans 11:27]
10 Yet the defensed city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf [men as idols put in God’s place] feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off [the fruit] from the channel of the river [leviathan] unto the stream of Egypt [the waters of the tyrant now controlling the world], and you shall be gathered one by one, O you children of Israel.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria [the communists among us, in power], and the outcasts in the land of Egypt [under the hand of oppression – under a Pharaoh who doesn’t know Joseph], and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
Exodus 15
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh’s [the great house of evil kings] chariots and his host has he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Your right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: your right hand, O LORD, has dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of your excellency you have overthrown them that rose up against you: you sent forth your wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed [came together as understanding in our minds] in the heart of the sea [in the minds of the people at large].
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 You did blow with your wind [by Your Almighty Spirit], the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto you, O LORD, among the gods? who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 You, in your mercies, have led forth the people which you have redeemed: you have guided them in your strength unto your holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina [the invading army now in control of all the seats of power in the institutions they’ve corrupted].
15 Then the dukes of Edom [the elites of the enemies mixed among us] shall be amazed [bahal – tremble inside: fear and panic because they know what is coming]; the mighty men of Moab [whose mouths are the gates holding the world in hell], trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan [the wicked now possessing the land by possessing the minds of the sleeping dead] shall melt away [from the heat of the fires they’ve caused].
16 Fear [‘eymah] and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm they shall be as still [damam – dumb, paralyzed by fear] as a stone; till your people pass over [‘abar – Passover from death into life], O LORD, till the people pass over [‘abar – Passover], which you have purchased [qanah – resurrected, Your possessions you’ve redeemed].
17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which you have made for you to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which your hands have established.
18 The LORD shall reign forever and ever.
We understand, from 1 Timothy 4:15 this prokope (the scourge that shoots forth correction), that “appears” is the shining (phaneros) of the LORD’s presence as light that now covers the world that was before in darkness. This is what men see, after hearing the Gospel (the scourge that corrects God’s children).
Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses [Hebrews 11: 39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith {the substance of things not seen until perfection}, received not the promise: 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.], let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author [here writing through me] and finisher [perfector] of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not you the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
6 For whom the LORD loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.
7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not?
8 But if you be without chastisement [if you are not corrected], whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live [be made perfect]?
The word phaneros (meaning “shining, i.e., apparent”) is first used in Matthew 6:4, 6, & 18, all speaking of the “open” reward of the LORD to those who seek him in “secret,” from the word kruptos, meaning “concealed, i.e. private:–hid(-den), inward(-ly), secret.” The three places where this “secret” searching comes, are first in alms (charitable giving), likened to not letting “the right hand know what the left hand does [not seeking power over those you’ve given to],” next in the closet, from the word tameion, meaning in the store house alone (where only the Father sees, and seeing your pure heart reveals), and lastly to those who, when they fast, don’t appear (phaino) to make a show of doing so.
This understanding takes us to the next two times phaneros appears, saying the same thing in Matthew 12:16 and Mark 3:12, as the LORD speaks of not making him “known.” Its next two uses come in Mark 4:22 & 6:14, saying the same things, translated “abroad.”
Mark 4
22 For there is nothing hid [kruptos], which shall not be manifested [phaneroo]; neither was any thing kept secret [apokruphos – treasures kept covered], but that it should come abroad [phaneros – shine upon all].
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.
24 And he said unto them, Take heed what you hear: with what measure you mete [give what is heard], it shall be measured [given] to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25 For he that has [received this gift], to him shall be given [greater treasure]: and he that has not, from him shall be taken even that [little understanding] which he has.
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed [must give this gift he has been given] into the ground [and it was hidden in the earth – ge];
27 And should sleep [in ignorance], and rise night and day [from ignorance into understanding], and the seed should spring and grow up, he know not how [knowing not it is by the LORD working unknown, His Spirit moving in secret as He wills, with water and light].
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he put in the sickle, because the harvest is [now] come.
30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
32 But when it is sown, it grows up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
33 And with many such parables spoke he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
34 But without a parable spoke he not unto them: and when they were alone [in the secret places], he expounded [in this exposition] all things to his disciples [His students that receive Him].
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he says unto them, Let us pass over [death] unto the other side [into life].
The phaneros tells of the “sign of the son of man coming,” which is described in the gospels as “lightning” that “shines” upon all (openly, known, abroad) after He comes in secret, working unknown, as a thief in the night of man’s ignorance.
Matthew 24
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ [a Christian]; and shall deceive many [several of the greatest examples of this in our time are the Pope, Obama, and Mike Pence].
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
27 For as the lightning [astrape] comes out of the east, and shines [phaino] even unto the west [abroad upon all]; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcass [of the dead body of Christ] is, there will the eagles [risen into heaven by the strength of the LORD’s understanding shined upon them] be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened [realized to be without understanding], and the moon [civil government] shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven [God people fallen away from understanding], and the powers of the heavens [the understanding that is therein] shall be shaken [so the corruption of the wicked is shaken from it]:
30 And then [answering the question asked in verse 3] shall appear [phaino – shine] the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet [the voice of His archangel], and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise you, when you shall [now] see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Truly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 [The old corrupt] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only [the Father in me is the only one who knows now is the time].
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came [see Psalms 93:3
below], and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
1 Corinthians 3
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest [phaneros – known openly]: for the day [the time of understanding] shall declare it, because it shall be revealed [apokalupto – in the apocalypse, removing the cover] by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
1 Corinthians 11
19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved [by God] may be made manifest [phaneros – shine] among you.
1 Corinthians 14
24 But if all prophesy [speaking this same word from the mouth of God], and there come in one that believes not [that God is with us in you], or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
25 And thus are the secrets [kruptos] of his heart made manifest [phaneros]; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
Philippians 1
12 But I would you should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of [prokope – scourging, goading, leading humanity into salvation by] the Gospel;
13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest [phaneros – shined] in all the palace, and in all other places;
14 And many of the brethren in the LORD, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
1 John 3
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear [phaneroo – shine as] what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear [phaneroo – shine forth through us], we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself [by which we can see Him], even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law [anomia – is lawless]: for sin is the transgression of the law [anomia – is lawlessness].
5 And you know that he was manifested [phaneroo] to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins [is defiled by corruption] has not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He [the lawless] that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested [phaneroo], that he might destroy the [misleading] works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest [phaneros – shine forth], and the children of the devil [who’ve deceived the world]: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves [agapao – gives] not [is without godly charity toward] his brother.
Psalms 93
1 The LORD reigns, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he has girded [prepared] himself: the world also is established, that it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne is established of old: you are from everlasting.
3 The floods have lifted up [nasa’], O LORD, the floods have lifted up [nasa’] their voice [qowl]; the floods lift up [nasa’] their waves [of pride].
4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise [qowl – voices] of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea [the wicked sitting in the seats of power, who in their arrogance, have exalted their words against the word of God and His anointed].
5 Your testimonies are very sure: holiness becomes [the three-times used word also rendered “beautiful” in Isaiah 52:7, describing the feet of the one lifted up on the mountain, publishing peace and bringing these good tidings to] your house, O LORD, forever.
Psalms 27
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide [tsaphan] me in his pavilion [in the ignorance of men]: in the secret [cether – under the cover] of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock [who is God with me].
6 And now shall my head be lifted up [exalted] above my enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy [by which He is manifested in my flesh]; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When you said, Seek you my face [paniym – presence]; my heart said unto you, Your face [paniym – Your presence], LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not your face [paniym – Your presence] far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart [[minds]]: wait, I say, on the LORD.
