Proclaim you this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

10 – 11 November 2025

Proclaim you this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

The above, Joel 3:9 & 10, speaks of the war in which we now find ourselves, risen from our sleep in death, good raised to combat evil. As we know, the “gentiles” are all the dead, all who don’t know the LORD, some awakened to life, and all others remain dead. The battle takes place in the valley of Jehoshaphat, meaning between the mountains (outside opposing government factions) among the lowly, the weak, those without power, in this judgment (shaphat) of Jehovah.

The Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definition of shaphat is: “to judge, i.e. pronounce sentence (for or against); by implication, to vindicate or punish; by extension, to govern; passively, to litigate (literally or figuratively).”

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.

This valley, in Joel 3:14, is also called “decision,” from the Hebrew word charuwts, an eighteen times used word, meaning “properly, incised or (active) incisive; hence (as noun masculine or feminine) a trench (as dug), gold (as mined), a threshing-sledge (having sharp teeth); (figuratively) determination; also eager.”

Daniel only uses the word charuwts once, in Daniel 9:25, where it’s uniquely (dubiously) rendered “wall.”

Daniel 9
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end [chatham] of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up [chatham – make an end of] the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore [shuwb – return] and to build [banah – by teaching wisdom and knowledge] Jerusalem [the dead body of Christ] unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street [the way into resurrection] shall be built [banah] again [shuwb], and the wall [charuwts – a mental state of making right decisions], even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off [not be seen by any], but not for himself: and the people of the prince [of darkness] that shall come shall destroy [shachath – corrupt, as in Genesis 6:11, 12, & 13] the city and the sanctuary; and the end [qets] thereof shall be with a flood [sheteph], and unto the end [qets] of the war desolations are determined [charats].
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation [kalah – the full end], and that determined [charats] shall be poured [as these waters, this latter rain] upon the desolate.

Genesis 6
3 And the LORD said, My Spirit [My presence unknown speaking to those ignorant of My way] shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants [nphiyl – only used here and twice in Numbers 13:33 telling of how the spies saw the people of the promised land as “giants,” meaning “a feller {of the righteous}, i.e. a bully or tyrant”] in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of [ungodly] men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually [as it is this day].
6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt [chashath] before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt [chashath]; for all flesh had corrupted [chashath] his [the LORD’s good and right] way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy [chashath – by turning their own corruption into delusion and insanity] them with the earth.

The following, ending with Hebrews 2, is from the post of 30 October 2025, which was repeated from the post of 25 February 2025, with the latter day’s additions in double brackets, and today’s in double curly brackets.

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 {{the period of vacillating between two opinions}}], 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 became ignorant of these truly valuable treasures}}, and {{think you}} have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you mayest be rich; and white raiment, that you mayest be clothed {{with this understanding that truly protects us from the corrupt elements of the world}}, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye-salve, that you mayest see [[as I see]].
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear [[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 {{that this is the unfold presence of the LORD manifested}} of the words which were spoken before {{written and sent forward as a wheel within a wheel}} 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 {{the scoffers who refuse to receive this ingrafted word}} 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 people who are ignorant of His presence] years, and a thousand [chilioi – this time of the lukewarm and unaware sleeping {dead} body of Christ {{vacillating between two opinions: see Joshua 24:15 below}}] years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness {{not knowing He is always here with us, only known when He is realized in us}}; 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 {{and see Him}}.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night {{unknwon in the time of darkness: men’s ignorance}}; 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 {{the blinding}} 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 {{then seeing}} 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 lions 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 {{this voice here and now}} of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead {{when will you awaken sluggards}} 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 {{in your search for Him}} that you may be found of him in peace, without spot {{unstained by the world}}, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD {{with us working, in His word that works in us to produce the mind of Christ in us}} 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 {{ebullient, unstable – like Reuben, who is the pattern of the son of perdition; see Genesis 49:4}}]] 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 {{the four faces of the unfolding presence of the LORD}}, and the elders {{the prophets and apostles of the LORD}}: 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 {{rejecting interaction with misleading men}}. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes. These were redeemed {agorazo} from among men {{led away from them into this understanding}} being the firstfruits {raise from the dead by the LORD’s here teaching and leading us} unto God and to the Lamb {{the LORD alive in me, longsuffering, not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance}}.]]

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 {{in divers manners, to give parts of the message delivered to them, which parts are perfected here now with us, in us}}] 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 {{here and now}} 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 {{who are vacillating between two opinions: whether to serve the corruption of men or the LORD}}], 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?

Joshua 24
12 And I sent the hornet [tsir’ah – only used tree times; from tsar Jehovah, meaning the LORD’s opponent] before you [paniym – manifesting His presence], which drove them out from before [paniym – manifesting My presence with] you, even [driving out from among you] the two kings of the Amorites [the “sayers:” those in church and state, the false gods of the world, who are exalting their evil words above the LORD’s]; but [by My Spirit working unknown] not with your sword, nor with your bow.
13 And I have given you a land [‘erets – this earth, here and now] for which you did not labor [but it is a gift given by its creator, owner, and captain], and cities which you built not, and you dwell in them; of the vineyards and olive-yards which you planted not do you eat.
14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity [tamiym – referring to its only other use in Joshua, in Joshua 10:13] and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve you the LORD.
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods [of death] which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites [whose words are death], in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
16 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
17 For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
18 And the LORD drove out from before [paniym – by His presence manifest to] us all the people, even the Amorites [those exalting their words above His] which dwelt in the land [‘erets – the earth]: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God.
19 And Joshua said unto the people, You cannot serve the LORD [by your words only]: for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive [nasa’ – honor or exalt] your transgressions nor your sins.
20 If you forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt [ra’a’ – allow the consequences of your ways], and consume you, after that he has done you good.
21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will [in deed] serve the LORD.
22 And Joshua said unto the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.
23 Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.
24 And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey [shama’].

Joshua 10
8 And the LORD said unto Joshua [Jesus – the perpetual son of man, the son of nun: in perpetuity], Fear them not: for I have [here and now] delivered them into your hand; there shall not a man of them stand before you.
9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly [pith’own – like a thief in the night, unknown upon the ignorant; see its uses below; with intentional affinity to pithrown, meaning interpretation, here speaking of it as what bring their sudden destruction: perdition], and went up [‘alah – is risen] from Gilgal [in this wheel within a wheel] all night [while the ignorant wrestle with this word into their own perdition].
10 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel [His people who, by fathith, receive this expected end], and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon [from among His people, the shinning city on a hill], and chased them along the way that goes up to Bethhoron [the houses, of church and state, where there is no living man], and smote them to Azekah [and tilled it as earth for His new planting], and unto Makkedah [and they will grow into the places of His good shepherds].
11 And it came to pass, as they [the sayers] fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron [to hide themselves therein], that the LORD cast down great stones [hail – the word from the cloud, sent against the current crop of corrupt leaders, in this time of war, as foretold in Isaiah 28:21 & Job 38:22 & 23, the latter saying “Have you entered into the treasures of the snow? or have you seen the treasures of the hail, Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?”] from heaven upon them unto Azekah [until they were tilled, readied from the new planting], and they died [they realized they are the dead who are in need of resurrection]: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
12 Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites [the sayers who’ve exalted their words above His] before [paniym – manifesting His presence to] the children of Israel [those who receive Him and His promised end], and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun [church], stand you still [damam – be silenced] upon Gibeon [that I may shine this light upon my city on a hill]; and you, Moon [civil governments that tyrannically rule over my people], in the valley of Ajalon [humble yourselves in the presence of the MOST HIGH].
13 And the sun stood still [damam – the church was silenced: returned to her first estate: speaking only the word received from the LORD], and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst [chetsiy – the same word used in Daniel 12:17, speaking of this appointed time when this word of God is opened again] of heaven [from where comes the word of God], and hasted not to go down [not to depart from] about a whole [tamiym – meaning “entire (literally, figuratively or morally); also (as noun) integrity, truth” of this] day [and continues giving this understanding as received, even into the darkness].
14 And there was no day [time of understanding] like that before it or after it [paniym ‘achar – like His presence manifested in these last days of darkness], that the LORD hearkened unto [shama’ – obeyed] the voice of a man: for [in me, a man of war] the LORD fought for Israel [those who receive this expected end].

Friends, this revelation, the depth the LORD chooses to reveal at this time, here and now, is as marvelous to me as I expect it is (should be) to you, and I am greatly humbled by it, as all should be.

The following, ending with 2 Timothy 3, is from the post of 9 February 2022, with additions in double brackets.

Not everyone that says unto me, LORD, LORD, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.

The LORD begins today with a warning to the unrepentant, to whom He says, “Many will say to me in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.”

These men are the false prophets and misleaders who aren’t doing the will of God but their own works, which they think earned them entry into His kingdom.

1 John 4
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them [the many antichrists resisting the word and work of God]: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world hears them.
6 We are of God: he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let us love [agapao] one another: for love [agape] is of God; and every one that loves [agapao] is born of God, and knows God.
8 He that loveth [agapao] not knows not God; for God is love [agape].
9 In this [[giving this word as received, the LORD’s charity]] was manifested the love [agape] of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might [[by this word from His mouth]] live through him.

Friends, these men, the incorrigibles, are manifested by not hearing and doing the will of God, which is to “love” as He loves. As we understand, His “love” is charity, freely giving His word, which is the light and life of the world.

The fact that they do not hear this word as the word of God, which it is, or hearing it, refuse to do His will on earth as it is in heaven, proves they are not His children. Hebrews 12:8 says these men are “bastards” and not sons, because, without faith (not believing His testimony), the correction of God does not affect them, and they remain strangers in corruption and death.

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 {the Father testifying of them in His testimony, the shmuw’ah, that they believed Him, and did His will on earth} through faith, 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 [the burdens of men’s words], and the sin [missing the mark {of righteousness through faith}] 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 [the crowning that comes when God is seen in him] 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 [agapao – shows charity] he chastens [corrects through the testimony He gives, through those He first gave His treasures], 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.

The word rendered “bastards” is the once used word “nothos” meaning “of uncertain affinity; a spurious or illegitimate son:–bastard.”

Above, we’re told of the scourge that comes upon all, and those who reject correction (chastising) will not enter the kingdom, of which the chapter later speaks. The writer (the LORD) likens this refusal to Esau (a symbol of enemies mixed among us, as illegitimate brothers), selling his birthright; the cause is also spoken of as not seeking peace with all men, without which no man will see God (enter His kingdom).

Hebrews 12
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded [to do God’s will, seek peace with all men], And if so much as a beast touch the mountain [those without His correction, who attempt to come into His presence], it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
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 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 kingdom of God, full understanding in His presence]:
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. [Job 38:12 Have you commanded the morning since thy days; 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 {making it new again}?]
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made [the leaven, which by the unfaithful, has been fully worked into the lump, corrupt it all], 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 with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

When the above speaks of things made, removed by the LORD’s voice shaking them, it is speaking of what is written in Isaiah 28:8, saying “For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.” These are the tables (shulchan) in the temple, upon which was the showbread (which here is made with the leaven of the unfaithful, whose words are as vomit).

Psalms 69
21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let their table [shulchan] become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom you have smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom you have wounded.
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into your righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat [shemem – which is the LORD’s anointing when they are brought down] valleys of them that are overcome with wine [and are thereby unaware of its coming]!
2 Behold, the LORD has a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing [see verse 21 below], shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat [shemem – when their mocking proclaims the King, when they are brought down by their own ignorance] valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looks upon it sees, while it is yet in his hand he eats it up.
5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem [tsphiyrah – a crown [[as the morning of a new day]]] of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate [[driving out the enemies that were mixed among us]].
7 But they [[the enemies mixed among us]] also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness [[spewed from their mouths]], so that there is no place clean.
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine [shmuw’ah – the report, teaching, the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26 below, the LORD’s voice heard as the morning]? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts [[[attiyq]] who now draw from the Ancient of days].
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue [[this word of God His people no longer understand, truth which is to them a foreign language]] will he speak to this people.
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 [[because it contradicts the lie their false teachers and false preachers have fed them]].
13 But the [[true]] word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; 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 scourge [[this word all have refused]] shall pass through [[correcting all and bringing those who receive it from death into life]], it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus says the LORD GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, 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, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – the sound doctrine, teaching, the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26 below].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim [2 Samuel 5:20 – as water from His throne, breaking forth upon His enemies], he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon [Joshua 10:10 & 11 – His word reserved {frozen} in heaven, sent as great hailstones upon the wicked [[false teacher and false preachers]]], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22 Now therefore be you not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD GOD of hosts a consumption [kalah – a full end, as in Daniel 9:27], even determined upon the whole earth.
23 Give you ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

Ezekiel 7
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Also, you son of man, thus says the LORD GOD unto the land of Israel [[‘adamah – this generation that becomes the first of His new creation]]; An end [[qets – of the old]], the end [[qets]] is come upon the four corners of the land [[‘erets – the earth]].
3 Now is the end [[qets]] come upon you, and I will send my anger upon you, and will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense upon you all your abominations [[men’s creations put in the place of the holy]].
4 And my eye [[seeing all this evil]] shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations [[men’s creations]] shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am the LORD.
5 Thus says the LORD GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
6 An end [qets] is come, the end [qets] is come: it watches [quwts – awakens] for you; behold, it is come.
7 The morning [tsphiyrah – the crown, the crowning of the LORD’s chosen, the man of God, as was David] is come unto you, O you that dwells in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
8 Now will I shortly [[in this word]] pour out my fury upon you, and accomplish my anger upon you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations.
9 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense you according to your ways and your abominations that are in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the LORD that smites.
10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning [tsphiyrah – the crowning] is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time is come, the day draws [naga’ – when the LORD joins with His people, in ONE BODY] near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return [[to the old and corrupt churches that led them here, not to the same old preaching and teaching of men’s creation]]; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14 They have blown the trumpet [[now calling all to gather to their dead churches]], even to make all ready; but none goes to the battle [[to which the LORD is calling us]]: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 The sword is without [[this word they reject, outside the dead churches]], and the pestilence and the famine within [[the dis-ease in these churches, that results without this word of God]]: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

25 Destruction [[qphadah – only used here, meaning the “shrinking,” from many into ONE, by cutting off the many evil opinions]] comes; and they shall seek peace [[in their same old corrupt words and ways]], and there shall be none.
26 Mischief [[hovah – only used three times, as in Jehovah, it speaks of His {Yahh – to whom it appertains} bringing these men’s words upon them, judging them by them]] shall come upon mischief [[hovah]], and rumor [shmuw’ah – teaching sound doctrine, and reporting truth] shall be upon rumor [shmuw’ah – teaching and reporting that isn’t believed, and the man of God reporting it is still unknown – because of the lies and misleading of those who’ve blinded the world by drunkenness]; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. [[Isaiah 47:11 Therefore shall evil come upon you; you shall not know from whence it rises: and mischief {hovah} shall fall upon you; you shall not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon you suddenly {pith’own}, which you shall not know.]]
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

The word used four times in Hebrews 12, telling of the Father’s chastising, is the six times used Greek word paideia, meaning “to train up a child, i.e. educate, or (by implication), discipline (by punishment):–chasten(-ise), instruct, learn, teach.”

It is the word used in 2 Timothy 3:16 to tell us it is “instruction” in righteousness that comes through scripture. It there says it (this instruction) is what makes the man of God perfect, and furnished unto every good work. This perfection is that spoken of in Hebrews 11:39 & 40, that comes to all God’s people, when the promise is received, and we enter the kingdom of heaven in God’s presence.

2 Timothy 3
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. [1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh [[a man]], justified in the Spirit [[while speaking unknown, roaring as a lion]], seen of angels [[those who receive Him and become His messengers delivering His message as received]], preached unto the Gentiles [[as an ox working in the earth {{tilling the ground}}, carrying this word to all who haven’t know the LORD]], believed on in the world, received up into glory [[rising as an eagle into heaven, His place of full understanding]].]
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them;
15 And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction [paideia] in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

The name Jasher, from yashar, meaning “entire (literally, figuratively or morally),” most often appearing as some form of the word “right,” is only elsewhere once so rendered. In 2 Samuel 1:18, it is while David speaks of teaching, from the book of Jasher, “the use of the bow.” The word qesheth, rendered “bow,” meaning “of bending: a bow, for shooting (hence, figuratively, strength) or the iris,” is the same word first used in Genesis 9:13, 14, & 16, speaking of the “bow” in the cloud. The bow in the rightly divided (chetsiy) word of God, the light divided into the many colors of the rainbow, in the cloud, from where the former and latter rain come.

2 Samuel 1
18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon your high places: how are the mighty fallen!

The bow spoken of above is Jonathan’s (meaning Jehovah given), David’s best friend, an expert bowman, who was slain by an Amalekite, the enemies who’ve warred against God and His people throughout history.

Genesis 9
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual [‘owlam – into eternity] generations:
13 I do set my bow [qesheth] in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth [when understanding is removed from the earth], that the bow [qesheth] shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters [the words of men mixed with and corrupting God’s truth] shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow [qesheth] shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This [rightly divided word of God] is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

Joel 3
11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all you heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause your mighty ones to come down [from the mountains into the valley], O LORD.
12 Let the heathen [those who haven’t known Me] be wakened, and come up [from their graves where they sleep in death] to the valley of Jehoshaphat [this judgment of Jehovah present]: for there will I sit to judge [shaphat] all the heathen [who haven’t known My presence] round about.
13 Put you in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe [in the New Testament we’re told the Mount of Olives is in Bethphage, meaning the house of unripe figs, it is also the place the LORD resides at night {waiting for the fruit to ripen}, after light left, light which was when He was in the temple]: come, get you down [from the mountain]; for the press is full, the fats [this oil] overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision [charuwts]: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision [charuwts].
15 The sun [church government] and the moon [civil governments] shall be darkened [ignorant without this light], and the stars [God’s people, the multitude in the valley] shall withdraw their shining [also not having or not giving this understanding as received].
16 The LORD also shall roar [as a lion, the second face of His unfolding presence manifested] out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem [this place from where His teaching flows the highway to sustainable peace and security]; and the [totally corrupt] heavens and the earth shall shake [ra’ash – to shake the wicked from them]: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel [who receive this expected end].
17 So shall you know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with [these living] waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim [where all are scourged by the thorns – corrected away from those misleading them].
19 Egypt [those oppressing the world] shall be a desolation, and Edom [the enemies mixed among us at war with us while they call it peace] shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah [My elect remnant, the new crop of leaders I Am raising from the dead], because they [the enemies among us] have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah [the elect remnant] shall dwell forever, and Jerusalem [My people at large] from [the old and corrupt] generation to [become the new] generation [in this new creation].
21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwells in Zion.

Proverbs 12
22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
23 A prudent man conceals knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
24 The hand of the diligent [charuwts] shall bear rule: but the slothful [rmiyah – deceitful, sluggard] shall be under tribute.
25 Heaviness [d’agah – from the same as dag {da’g} the fish that swallowed Jonah, the underlying cause of the agitation of humanity] in the heart [mind] of man makes it stoop [makes it bow to the wicked]: but a good word makes it glad.
26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked seduces them.
27 The slothful [rmiyah – sluggard, deceitful] man roasts not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent [charuwts] man is precious.
28 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

2 Samuel 22
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 I was also upright [tamiym] before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright [tamiym] man you will show yourself upright [tamam].
27 With the pure you will show yourself pure [barar]; and with the froward [those twisting and perverting truth] you will show yourself unsavory.
28 And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bring them down.
29 For you are my lamp [showing me the way in the darkness], O LORD: and the LORD will lighten [give understanding to] my darkness [things of which I am ignorant].
30 For by you I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall [of lies upon lies].
31 As for God, his way is perfect [tamiym]; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to [magen – the shield covering] all them that trust in him.
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33 God is my strength and power [chayil]: and he makes my way perfect [tamiym].

2 Samuel 23
1 Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, He that rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
4 And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after [the latter] rain.
5 Although my house be not so with God; yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.
6 But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
7 But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.

Psalms 45
1 My heart is inditing [overflowing with] a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 You are fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into your lips: therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Gird your sword upon your thigh, O most mighty, with your glory and your majesty.
4 And in your majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall teach you terrible things.
5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under you.
6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: the scepter of your kingdom is a right scepter.
7 You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8 All your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made you glad.
9 Kings’ daughters were among your honorable women: upon your right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear; forget also your own people, and your father’s house;
11 So shall the king greatly desire your beauty: for he is your LORD; and worship you him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat your favor.
13 The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto you.
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
16 Instead of your fathers shall be your children, whom you may make princes in all the earth.
17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise you forever and ever.
