28 – 30 October 2025
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
The word, above in 2 Timothy 2:18, rendered “resurrection” is anastasis, meaning “a standing up again, i.e. (literally) a resurrection from death (individual, genitive case or by implication, (its author)), or (figuratively) a (moral) recovery (of spiritual truth).”
This “standing again” is what occurs in these last days (of darkness: ignorance), when the sealed book (the word of God without its intended meaning known) is again open, which ends (what we know as) Abriam’s (Abraham’s) deep sleep.
Friends, one of the hardest to accept truths is that all have died once already, were born in this time as the dead here in hell (sh’owl, sheol), from where we are all, with the LORD’s rising, raised again.
Daniel 12
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust [ruin] of the earth shall awaken, some to everlasting life [in heaven – full understanding], and some to shame and everlasting contempt [choosing to remain in their ignorance: the darkness of hell].
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament [giving this exposition as received, which God called heaven]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
This deep sleep, where God’s people have rested in peace, is the “thousand years,” the time when Christianity ruled the world, that ended when God’s people lost their power, ending the old heaven and earth, in this “day” of the LORD, this judgement at His throne, when the new heaven and earth have come.
The word eleven times rendered “thousand” is the Greek word chilioi, with the given meaning as “plural of an unknown affinity; a thousand.” Its affinity is to the once used words chliaros, from chlio, meaning “to warm,” like helios, meaning sun, and hileos, meaning “cheerful (as attractive), i.e. propitious; adverbially (by Hebraism) God be gracious!, i.e. (in averting some calamity) far be it:–be it far, merciful.”
One of the two times hileos appears is in Hebrews 8:12, a passage quoting Jeremiah 31:31 – 34, where it is the Hebrew word chalach, rendered “forgive.” These passages speak of the “day” when the LORD writes His new covenant in our minds, which comes after (‘achar) the “days” when (Jeremiah 31:30) says “every one shall die for his own iniquity.”
The following, ending with Isaiah 29, is from the post of 21 December 2020, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Hebrews 8
1 Now of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the LORD pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, says he, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you in the mount.
6 But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better [[kreitton – new]] covenant, which was established upon better [[kreitton]] promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he says, Behold, the days [[have now]] come, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took [epilambanomai] them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, says the LORD.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after [[in the Hebrews, ‘achar, as in ‘achariyth, these last days, this after life come]] those days, says the LORD; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts [[as the foundation of their minds]]: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful [[hileos]] to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he says, A new covenant, he has made the first old. Now that which decays and waxes old is ready to vanish away.
The New Covenant is when strength returns; when the LORD rescues Ariel, the strength; when He comes up like a lion from [[against]] the swelling of Jordan.
Jeremiah 49
19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion [[the second face of the unfolding presence of the LORD]] from the swelling of Jordan [[the words of proud men, which carried all in the decent into death and hell]] against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him [[the proud]] run away from her [[the people of God at large]]: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint [[paqad – make Chief Overseer]] over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me [[paniym – as My presence manifested]]?
20 Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom [[the enemies mixed among us]]; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman [[the places where wisdom should be found and isn’t]]: Surely the least of the flock [[I Am]] shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21 The earth is moved [[ra’ash – shaken]] at the noise [[qowl – this voice of the LORD]] of their fall, at the cry the noise [[qowl – voice]] thereof was heard in the Red sea [[as the water overthrew those pursuing to destroy God’s people]]
22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle [[the fourth and final face of the LORD’s unfolding presence]], and spread his wings over Bozrah [His flock]: and at that day shall the heart [[the foundational minds]] of the mighty men of Edom [[the enemies mixed among us at war with us]] be as the heart [[mind]] of a woman in her pangs [[not knowing she is bringing forth the new birth of God’s people]].
Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David 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 [lion and strength – captive in the hand of the enemies].
3 And I 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 [[the ruin of the earth]], and your voice shall be, as of one that has a familiar spirit [[of the known dead]], out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust [[from where the LORD will again create living man]].
5 Moreover the multitude of your strangers 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 of [[paqad – the Chief Overseer, in who is manifested]] the LORD of hosts [[a man of war]] with thunder [[His voice from the cloud]], and with earthquake, and great noise [[qowl – voice]], with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire [[from His mouth]].
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be [[as those who realize the things they think they know are creations of their own sleeping minds]], that fight against mount Zion.
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; 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, and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers has he covered [[kacah – hidden the truth from]].
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for [[the learned know]] it is sealed:
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 [[therefore they wrestle with the word to their own perdition]].
13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth [[saying they know Me]], and with their lips do [[they say they]] honor me, but have removed their heart [[minds]] far [[rachaq – in this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked]] from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the [[corrupt]] precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [[eye-opening]] work [[unsealing this book]] among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: 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 counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon [[the place where purity should be seen on high]] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest [[of upright men]]?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the [[unsealed]] book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness [[ignorance]].
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the [[realization of the present]] 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 [[that doesn’t agree with their corrupt opinions]] an offender for a word, and lay a snare [[to catch them in words that don’t agree with their delusions]] for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught [[their worthless words]].
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 But when he sees his children, [[by]] the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name [[declare holy My identity]], 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 the LORD]] shall learn doctrine.
The above-mentioned “standing again” is spoken of throughout the Old and New Testaments. The following, ending with Psalms 98, is from the post of 28 April 2025, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Psalms 80
A Psalm of Asaph [to the gatherers]
1 Give ear, O Shepherd [ra’ah – who must see as the LORD sees] of Israel, you that lead Joseph [God’s people in these last days] like a flock; you that dwells between the cherubims [in this conversation with the LORD, at His mercy seat], shine forth [giving this understanding He has given us and declare His presence manifested therein].
2 Before [paniym – manifest His presence to] Ephraim [God’s people in the first generation of His new creation] and Benjamin [who become His right hand] and Manasseh [who forgot God and must now remember] stir up your strength [this understanding that brings the unity of His ONE BODY], and come and save us.
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause your face [paniym – Your presence] to shine [giving us understanding]; and we shall be saved.
4 O LORD God of hosts [a man of war], how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
5 You feed them with the bread of tears [sorrow caused by ignorance, not seeing God], and give them tears to drink in great measure.
6 You make us a strife unto our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts [a man of war], and cause your face [paniym – Your presence] to shine [giving understanding]; and we shall be saved.
8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen [[from among us]], and planted it.
9 You prepared [panah – turned us back] room before it [paniym – to your presence], and did cause it to take deep root [upon this foundation], and it filled the land [male’ ‘erets – it completed the new earth].
10 The hills [governments of church and state] were covered with the shadow of it [protected from the corrupt understanding of the old], and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars [upright men].
11 She sent out her boughs [to flow life through them] unto the sea [to all humanity at large who receive it], and her branches unto the river [through which this word flows into the sea].
12 Why have you then broken down her hedges [her protection], so that all they which pass by [‘abar – are trying to pass from death into life] the way do pluck [gather away] her [good fruit]?
13 The boar [[the unclean and forbidden to be eaten]] out of the wood [[among the upright]] does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it.
14 Return, we beseech you, O God of hosts [a man of war]: look down from heaven, and behold [ra’ah – give us Your sight, wipe away our tears], and visit [paqad – appear in our eyes as the Chief Overseer of the earth to] this vine;
15 And the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and the branch [I Am] that you made strong for yourself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of your countenance [paniym – Your presence manifested].
17 Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand [[ben yamiyn – Benjamin]], upon the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
18 So will not we go back from you: quicken us [from death into life], and we will call upon your name.
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts [a man of war], cause your face [paniym – Your presence manifested] to shine [giving us understanding]; and we shall be saved.
2 Corinthians 9
1 For as touching the ministering to the saints [in the original text this says – Touching {peri} truly for the ministering to the saints: hagios], it is superfluous [perissos – touching the living, because of this superabundance of this dispensation the LORD has committed into my hand] for me to write to you:
2 For I know the forwardness of your mind [prothumia – the readiness of your mind; you are those for whom it is intended, God having prepared a better [[[kreitton]] end for us], for which I boast [kauchaomai] of [the LORD’s work in] you to them of Macedonia [the houses of dead flesh, those led there by false preachers and teachers], that Achaia was [those who realized they are in the tribulation, were] ready [paraskeuazo – fully furnished for good works] a year ago; and your zeal [zelos – heat, the fire kindled in you by the LORD’s work] has provoked [erethizo – stimulated, awakened to contend for the faith] very many.
3 Yet have I sent the brethren [to those still sleeping among us], lest our boasting [kauchema – of the LORD’s work] of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, you may be ready [paraskeuazo]:
4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia [of the houses of dead flesh, who remain asleep] come with me, and find you unprepared [aparasheuastos – unready for this work of God awakening them through you], we (that we say not, you [because I may be among the dead who will come to life by the obedience of those the LORD prepares and brings with Him]) should be ashamed [not reaching the end promised] in this same confident [hupostasis – [[literally, under standing]] faith in the inner person, the substance of things hoped for] boasting [kauchesis – rejoicing in the LORD].
5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort [parakaleo – call along side, as the Comforter in me, the LORD yet unknown working and speaking to] the brethren, that they would go before [proerchomai – before through utterance] unto you, and make up beforehand [prokatartizo – only appearing here, meaning to be prepared in advance] your bounty [eulogia – by the LORD’s good words], whereof you had notice before [prokataggello – by which He is announced in advance], that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty [eulogia – the LORD’s good words], and not as of covetousness [pleonexia – not of “feigned words {to} make merchandise of you.”].
6 But this I say, He which sows [this word of God] sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully [eulogia] shall reap also bountifully [eulogia].
7 Every man according as he purpose in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver [who joyfully gives His word as received].
8 And God is able to make all grace [all the benefits of blessing others with His gift] abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9 (As it is written, He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor: his righteousness remains forever. [Quoted from Psalms 112:9, which speaks of this as how the desire of the wicked shall perish. Psalms 112:10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.]
10 Now he that ministers seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
11 Being enriched in every [good] thing to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God.
12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the want of the saints [hagios], but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
13 Whiles by the experiment [dokime – the proof in the experience] of this ministration they glorify God for your professed [homologia – His same good words] subjection [hupotage – [[under His leading]] your subjection, obedience] unto [delivering] the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution [of the gift He has freely given us, to be given as received] unto them, and unto all men;
14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace [this gift] of God [[which is Christ]] in you.
15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
The word “unspeakable,” is from the once-used word anekdiegetos (written in the original text as anekdiegeto), is (dubiously) said to mean “from 1 (as a negative particle) and a presumed derivative of 1555; not expounded in full, i.e. indescribable:–unspeakable.” It’s more accurately from the words an ek diegeiro, respectively meaning, who, through, “to wake fully; i.e. arouse (literally or figuratively):–arise, awake, raise, stir up.”
The verse speaks of thanking Him for His “gift” with which He awakened us to Himself.
The word “gift” is from the eleven times used word dorea.
John 4
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If you knew the gift [dorea] of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living [life-giving] water [words].
Acts 2
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized [[brough below the surface of these waters]] every one of you in the name [identity] of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift [dorea] of the Holy [hagios] Ghost [[the Father among us, in His corrected children, Christ unknown speaking and working His will]].
Romans 5
15 But [the one to come [[Christ in you]] is] not as the [one through whom the] offense [came], so also is [a man, Adam, through whom comes] the free gift [charisma – grace given]. For if through the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace [charis] of God, and the gift [dorea] by grace [charis], which is by one man, Jesus [[Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in]] Christ, has abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift [dorema – only appearing elsewhere in James 1:17]: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift [charis] is of many offenses unto justification.
17 For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace [charis] and of the gift [dorea] of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
James 1
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift [dosis] and every perfect [[teleios – completing]] gift [dorema] is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights [understanding], with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us [again] with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his [[new]] creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear [Him], slow to speak [your opinions contradicting His truth], slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath [[with dead works]] of man work not the righteousness of [[faith in]] God.
Hebrews 6
1 Therefore leaving the principles [arche] of the doctrine of [logos – the word spoken by] Christ, let us go on unto perfection [teleiotes – completion]; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this will we do, if God permits.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened [given this understanding], and have tasted of the heavenly gift [dorea], and were made partakers of the Holy [hagios] Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and [in it] the powers of the world to come,
6 If they [those in power] shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times [polumeros – only appearing here, meaning “in many portions, i.e. variously as to time and agency (piecemeal)”] and in divers manners [polutropos – also only here, meaning, “in many ways, i.e. variously as to method or form.”] spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Has in these last days spoken [the LORD speaking here and now] unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things [spoken by the many prophets, meant to be perfected as the better [[kreitton]] thing the Father has prepared for us], by whom also he made the worlds [the old, upon whose ruin He created the current age now ending in total corruption, and is in like manner making the New];
3 Who being the brightness [the understanding of His glory: His manifested presence], and the express image [charakter – the exact copy, “character”] of his person [hupostasis – understanding [[in this insurrection {stasis – standing} against the evil powers of the old world]]], and upholding all things by the word [carrying the full load of the light] of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high [until now when He again stands with us, in us]:
4 Being made so much better [[kreitton]] than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained [[kleronomea – has inherited His name, the birthright]] a more excellent name [[[onoma]] identity] than they.
[[5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, “You are my Son, this day have I begotten you?” And again,” I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?”
6 And again, when he bringeth in the first-begotten into the world, he says, And let all the angels {messengers} of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.]]
Hebrews 3
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence [hupostasis – person and substance [[under standing]]] steadfast unto the end;
15 While it is said, Today if you will hear his voice [[the voice of the son and children He has chosen and declared]], harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief [a lack of faith in what they heard, thereby not allowing the word to touch and change them, and they, therefore, without understanding, remaining corrupted, wouldn’t obey].
Hebrews 1
8 But unto the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
10 And, You, LORD, in the beginning have laid the foundation [themelioo] of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:
11 They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed [allasso]: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister [this same word] for them who shall be heirs of salvation [[now, as in the days of Noah]]?
Hebrews 11
[[6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world {just as we are called to condemn, judge with good judgment, this evil generation}, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.]]
39 And these all [[those who by faith saw the unseen, this moment then far off, believed the LORD’s voice, obeyed, and did His will]], having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better [[kreitton]] thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses [sent to minister this word], 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 and finisher 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 [corrects out of corruption], 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, 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?
22 But you [who are the Father’s children by His correction] are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the [New] Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [messengers He sends to minister His message to the heirs of His promised Salvation],
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better [[kreitton]] things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [the throne of God with His full understanding]:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made [by men], that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably [as His ministers] with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Psalms 98
1 O sing unto the LORD a new [chadash] song; for he has done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, has gotten him the victory.
2 The LORD has made known his salvation: his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the heathen [[all the world that hasn’t known Him]].
3 He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel [[His children who receive this promised end]]: all the ends of the [ending the old and beginning the new] earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise unto [[seeing His presence, do His will and give this word as received from]] the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
5 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice [[qowl]] of a psalm.
6 With trumpets and sound [[qowl – voice as]] of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.
7 Let the sea roar [[all humanity, as lions, roaring His word]], and the fulness [[completion]] thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
9 Before [paniym – in the presence of] the LORD; for he comes to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
The idea of seeing “far off” what wasn’t then seen, brings us back to the second use of the word hileos, as Peter is rebuking the LORD, showing himself not to be seeing as the Father sees.
Matthew 16
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day [in this time].
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke Him [epitimao – questioning the value of His death], saying, Be it far [hileos – be it after the chilioi: be it after thousands of years] from you, LORD: this shall not be unto you.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get you behind me, Satan: you are an offence unto me: for you savor not [phroneo – literally: pros neos, new shining {not receiving the ingrafted word}; with the given meaning “from 5424 {phren – meaning understanding}; to exercise the mind, i.e. entertain or have a sentiment or opinion {wherein Satan works in proud men}; by implication, to be (mentally) disposed (more or less earnestly in a certain direction); intensively, to interest oneself in (with concern or obedience)”] the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself [His identity], and take up his cross, and follow me [in My identity, as My ONE flesh BODY].
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it [[Hebrews 11:36 says there is a greater reward in the life after death for those who give all; saying of the “cross,” standing in the good fight, “not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better {kreitton} resurrection {anastasis}”]].
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory [manifested identity] of his Father with his angels [messengers with this same message]; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Truly I say unto you, There be some standing here [now], which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming [erchomai – with necessary utterances, from the cloud] in his kingdom.
The word kreitton, rendered “better,” means “stronger, i.e. (figuratively) better, i.e. nobler.”
1 Peter 3
8 Finally, be you all of one mind [this same understanding], having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing [giving this same blessing, this understanding received from the LORD directly]; knowing that you are thereunto called, that you should inherit a blessing [as Ephraim, the LORD’s people in this last generation that become the first of the new generation, raised to life in this resurrection].
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil [misleading words of generational corruption], and his lips that they speak no guile [words now known to be evil but continually spoken, to avoid the necessary long-suffering that comes with speaking these in the LORD’s name declaring they are His presence manifested with us, in us]:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace [that flows to all in His words], and ensue it.
12 For the eyes of the LORD are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face [presence] of the LORD is against them that do evil.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers [mimetes – only used seven times, all speaking of following the LORD by following those following Christ alive in them] of that which is good?
14 But and if you suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are you: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
15 But sanctify [declaring holy] the LORD God in your hearts [minds]: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope [expect the LORD to manifest His presence in this expected end] that is in you with meekness [not as destroyers but rather as builders] and fear [knowing the LORD is always present]:
16 Having a good conscience [co-perspective; seeing as the LORD sees]; that, whereas they [those ignorant of Him] speak evil of [by their corrupt understanding against] you, as of evildoers, they may [at the LORD’s appearing] be ashamed [not reaching the end they seek, which is the destruction of our good conversation] that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ [the LORD alive in us speaking and working unknown to those ignorant by choice].
17 For it is better [kreitton], if the will of God be so, that you suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
18 For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened [brought to life in what was before animated dead flesh] by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison [here in death and hell];
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism [calling all to repentance, and to enter into His kingdom of heaven: this full understanding that comes to those who continue in His word] does also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience [speaking with the LORD’s co-perspective, seeing as he sees] toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ [here and now]:
22 Who is gone into heaven [this full understanding], and is on the right hand of God [doing His work]; angels [messengers] and authorities [exousia] and powers being made subject [hupotasso – made to subordinate] unto him.
Daniel 12
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 forever that it shall be for a time [mow’ed – an appointed time when the book was sealed], times [mow’ed – now, the appointed time, end of days, 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].
Job 19
22 Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 Oh that my words were now written [as these are]! oh that they were printed in a book [that could be unsealed to enlighten all]!
24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock [the flesh from where this understanding could flow] forever!
25 For I know that my redeemer lives [forever], and that he shall stand at the latter day [‘acharown] upon the earth [‘aphar – the dust, the ruin of the earth at this end, from where man is created]:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body [the flesh of the old body], yet in my [new] flesh shall I [after realizing His voice] see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
28 But you should say, “Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me [Job’s three friends, in whom Satan is speaking and working corruption, away from which the LORD is correcting them]?”
29 Be you afraid of the sword [this word the corrupt reject]: for [corrupt men’s] wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.
The following, ending with Matthew 24, is from the post of 25 February 2025, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Ephesians 6
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand [[in this good fight]] against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness [[the intentionally cultivated ignorance]] of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places [of church and state].
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about [[your minds prepared]] with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts [of lies and false accusation, by which they call evil good and good evil] of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds [halusisi] that therein I may speak boldly [this word of God], as I ought to speak.
The word rendered “ambassador” is presbeuo, which only appears elsewhere in 2 Corinthians 5:20.
2 Corinthians 5
14 For the love [agape – this gift freely given to all] of Christ [this anointing manifesting the LORD present with us, in us] constrains us [sunecho hemas – bonds us together]; because we thus judge, that if one died [became without understanding, which is death] for all, then were all dead [without understanding here in death and hell]:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live [by this light, this understanding received] should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again [by first receiving the LORD’s Spirit here among the dead in hell].
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ [the first anointed] after the flesh [in which He came vailed therein], yet now henceforth know we him no more [as dead flesh but risen to life therein].
17 Therefore, if any man be in Christ [in His ONE BODY by receiving Him from the unknown], he is a new creature [in this first generation of the new heaven and earth He is creating]: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who has reconciled [katallasso [[humbeling us so He could change us]]] us to himself by Jesus Christ [risen to life in the flesh of His ONE BODY], and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation [katallage [[leading other into the same humble state that makes them changable]]];
19 To wit [hos – in this manner], that God was in Christ [alive in the flesh], reconciling [katallasso – from words meaning down and change, speaking of humbling us into the realization of our fallen state, as if in a bottomless pit, into death, to the point we are able to {as little children} receive His mind] the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses [into ignorance] unto them; and has committed [tithemi – as in 2 Timothy 1:11 above [[saying “According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.”]]] unto us the word of reconciliation [katallage – to lead others in this same manner].
20 Now then we are ambassadors [prebeuo] for Christ, as though [hos – in this manner] God did beseech you by us: we pray [speak to] you in Christ’s stead [huper – His mind over ours], be you reconciled [katallasso – be humbled in this same way, with the same mind] to God.
21 For he has made him to be sin [dead without understanding] for us, who knew no sin; that we might be [changed as I Am changed] made the righteousness of God in him.
Revelation 20
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit [the seemingly endless fall away from God] and a great chain [halusis] in his hand [by the power in this judgment, in this gift given].
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan [the spirit resisting God’s creation and its order, working through men who are leviathan, deceiving, misleading, devouring man, heaven, and earth, swallowing them into death here in hell where the dead are held], and bound [[deo – chained to their own ignorance, darkness]] him a thousand [[chilioi]] years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more [[to no greater extent]], till the thousand [[chilioi]] years should be fulfilled [[completed]]: and after that he must be loosed a little season [[now in this end time, in the delusion turned mass insanity, when the power of God’s people is ended, and none remain with understanding, as in Daniel 12:7]].
4 And [order restored] I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast [those without the LORD’s Spirit, in whom Satan works], neither his image [their creations: disorder and insanity], neither had received his mark [their insane ideas] upon their foreheads [into their minds], or in their hands [the works of the insane, which they, even after exposed and rebuked by the rational, refuse to repent and abandon]; and they [those who refuse this mark: his ideas and works showing they are possessed by Satan] lived [[again in the flesh]] and reigned with Christ a thousand [[chilioi]] years.
5 But the rest [refusing to repent] of the dead lived not again until the thousand [[chilioi]] years were finished [[teleo – when the years of Christ’s reign ended with His people power and understanding ending]]. This is the first resurrection [[anastasis – the first standing again]].
6 Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection [[anastasis – this is the resurrection that hadn’t come until now, 2 Timothy 2:18]]: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand [[chilioi – lukewarm, thinking all these things are far off]] years.
As we’ve often seen, numbers typically have a spiritual contextual meaning, as does the number “thousand,” from the word chilioi, said to be the “plural of uncertain affinity.” It only appears in the above chapter, three times elsewhere in Revelation, and twice in 2 Pere 3:8.
The affinity is in the word chlio, meaning “to warm,” as in the word chiliaros, meaning “from chlio (to warm); tepid:” only appearing in Revelation 3:16.
It (chiliaros, with affinity to the words airo (“to lift up; by implication, to take up or away,”) and arti (a derivative of 142 [airo] (compare 740 [artos – “bread (as raised) or a loaf”]) through the idea of suspension; just now,”) is speaking of the Laodiceans as neither cold (psuchos) or hot, suspended between them, because they are unaware of their condition, and therefore ignorant of the moment.
The thousand years speak of when very few, the elect remnant, are awake, and the vast majority of God’s people are sleeping in this “lukewarm” state.
Revelation 3
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the [new] creation of God;
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
16 So then because you are lukewarm [chiliaros], and neither cold [osuchos] nor hot, [[because you knew not the time of your visitation]] I will spew you out of my mouth.
17 Because [[in your ignorance]] you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you mayest be rich; and white raiment, that you mayest be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eyesalve, that you mayest see [[as I see]].
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear [[this voice as]] my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit [[the LORD unknown, not yet seen]] says unto the churches.
2 Peter 3
1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds [dianoia] by way of remembrance:
2 That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the LORD and Savior:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall [has] come in the last days scoffers [not believing the LORD is present with us, in us], walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep [into death], all things continue as they were from the beginning of the [old] creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God [this same word of God] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved [for this appointed time of the LORD’s just war against the darkness] unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand [chilioi – when the vast majority of God’s are ignorant of His presence] years, and a thousand [chilioi – this time of the lukewarm and unaware sleeping {dead} body of Christ] years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is [always with us, hidden only in men’s ignorance] longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise [His voice here heard], and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men] shall melt with fervent heat, the [old corrupt] earth also and the [[dead]] works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness [[as in 1 Timothy 3:16 and in the context of the four faces Ezekiel saw in the wheel within a wheel, the verse saying “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was {is} manifest in the flesh {a man, those who’ve received His word as the word of God, heard as lion roaring}, justified in the Spirit {while unknown working and speaking, like an ox doing this work in the earth}, seen of angels {those made pure, who become His messengers doing His work, delivering His message as received}, preached unto the Gentiles {those who haven’t known the LORD among them}, believed on in the world, received up into glory {exalted into heaven like an eagle flying, which is His presence realized in this way}.”]],
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God [[when His light again covers the earth]], wherein the [[old]] heavens [[where understanding should be found]] being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness. [[1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up {harpazo, pulled from the fires} together with them in the clouds {full understanding}, to meet the LORD in the {cleared} air: and so shall we ever be with the LORD.]]
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood [[dusnoetos, written in the original text as dusnoeta {dus noeo tanun}, which adds the idea that it’s “for now” hard to be understood]], which they that are unlearned [[amathes – only used here]] and unstable [[easily shaken: easily beguiled]] wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].
[[The “unlearned” are now all but the very elect remnant, the 144,000 not defiled by the now totally corrupt and dead body of Christ. All others are dead without understanding this word of the LORD, which is His presence with us, in us, the living, of which the dead are ignorant. Revelation 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song {these word they repeat} before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn {matheo} that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed {agorazo, said to mean purchase; it’s deeper meaning is from ago, meaning they are led; and the Hebrew word raz, meaning mystery or secret: meaning they learned these thing that were before sealed while all were dead} from the earth. 4 These are they which were not defiled with women {the dead church}; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes. These were redeemed {agorazo} from among men, being the firstfruits {raise from the dead by the LORD’s here teaching and leading us} unto God and to the Lamb.]]
Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him [[which hear Him speaking and understood His presence, who are thereby His living Body, through whose open mouths the world will be saved]];
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His lukewarm people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “diverse” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding all these diverse elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?
Acts 3
14 But you denied [My presence in] the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer [men who took away this understanding and life] to be granted unto you;
15 And killed the Prince [archegos – “Author” and “Captain”] of life, whom God has raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16 And his name [identity] through faith in his name [identity] has made this man [I Am] strong, whom you see and know: yea, the faith which is by him has given him this perfect soundness [holokleria – only used here, meaning “integrity, i.e. physical wholeness”] in the presence of you all.
17 And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance [of His identity: presence] you did it, as did also your rulers.
18 But those things, which God before had shown by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he has so fulfilled.
19 Repent you therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing [anapsuxis] shall come from the presence [prosopon] of the LORD.
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution [apokatastasis – only used here, speaking of taking away the fallen state] of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22 For Moses truly said [in Deuteronomy 18:18 & 19] unto the fathers, “A prophet shall the LORD your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall you hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.”
24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25 You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in your seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
Revelation 20
7 And when the thousand [chilioi] years [the years of God’s people at large sleeping in a lukewarm state] are expired [teleo – is complete, ended], Satan shall be loosed out of his prison [let them, those possessed by Satan, keep talking],
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog [as we know, these names refer to many children of Agag, the king of the Amalekites, who the LORD commanded Saul to destroy, an order he disobeyed, for which he lost his throne – the names speak of all the enemies of God, who’ve warred against Him throughout history, raised in the flesh to be judged], to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven [from His mouth], and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face [prosopon – presence] the [old] earth and the [old] heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books [that were before closed] were opened: and another book was [[here and now]] opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea [humanity at large] gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
This takes us back to the one use of the word psucho, which comes as the LORD, in Matthew 24:12, speaks of this end time (now).
Matthew 24
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love [agape – giving this word as commanded] of many shall wax cold [psucho].
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations [all those who are ignorant of My presence]; and then shall the end [telos] come.
Psalms 43
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For you are the God of my strength: why do you cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 O send out your light and your truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto your holy hill, and to your tabernacles.
4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise you, O God my God.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance [paniym – your presence realized with us, in us], and my God.
