\
But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
The LORD begins today in the above riddle, recorded in Zechariah 14:7, in which He is describing His coming, in a manner only known to Him, as light into darkness, when all are ignorant of Him even while He is present in the flesh, in plain sight, speaking His word and working among us, in us.
The key above, rendered “known,” is the many times used word, rendered into many variations, yada’. Its Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definition is (with its translated forms): “a primitive root; to know (properly, to ascertain by seeing); used in a great variety of senses, figuratively, literally, euphemistically and inferentially (including observation, care, recognition; and causatively, instruction, designation, punishment, etc.) (as follow):–acknowledge, acquaintance(-ted with), advise, answer, appoint, assuredly, be aware, (un-)awares, can(-not), certainly, comprehend, consider, X could they, cunning, declare, be diligent, (can, cause to) discern, discover, endued with, familiar friend, famous, feel, can have, be (ig-)norant, instruct, kinsfolk, kinsman, (cause to let, make) know, (come to give, have, take) knowledge, have (knowledge), (be, make, make to be, make self) known, + be learned, + lie by man, mark, perceive, privy to, X prognosticator, regard, have respect, skilful, show, can (man of) skill, be sure, of a surety, teach, (can) tell, understand, have (understanding), X will be, wist, wit, wot.”
The word (yada’) appears nine times total in Zechariah, telling of when the gowy (nations, all people who haven’t known Him) do know, realizing He sent His word to be spoken as received by Zechariah (meaning when Jehovah remembers, as in previous post, in Genesis 9:15 & 16, speaking of this bow in the cloud).
Zechariah 2
1 I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Then said I, Whither go you? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem [to assess the condition of the LORD’s people at large], to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man [the first face of the unfolding presence of the LORD], saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
5 For I, says the LORD, will be [with them, in them] unto her a wall of fire round about , and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north [the places where darkness, ignorance, rules], says the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds [the four faces] of the heaven [the full circuit, in this wheel within a wheel, of this understanding sent and received], says the LORD.
7 Deliver yourself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon [under confusion’s rule].
8 For thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war]; After the glory has he sent me unto the nations [gowy – those who haven’t known Me or My manner] which spoiled you: for he that touches you touches the apple of his eye [His pupils who become His corrected children].
9 For, behold, I will shake my hand upon them [this work by which the wicked are shaken from among My people], and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and you shall know [yada’] that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
10 Sing and rejoice [repeat this word as received, wherein My presence is realized], O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of [with and in] you, says the LORD.
11 And many nations [gowy – those who haven’t know Me] shall be joined to [lavah – united in ONE BODY with] the LORD in that day [in this light come], and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of [with and in] you, and you shall know [yada’] that the LORD of hosts has sent me [as His man of war] unto you.
12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah [the elect remnant first] his portion in the holy land [‘adamah – this first generation of My new creation], and shall choose Jerusalem [His chosen people at large] again.
13 Be silent [stop speaking your own worthless words], O all flesh, before [paniym – in the presence of] the LORD: for he [in dead flesh] is raised up [to life] out of his holy habitation [with and in His people made holy].
Zechariah 3
1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest [the priesthood] standing before [paniym – as the LORD’s presence manifested in] the angel [in the message] of the LORD [here to free the possessed priesthood], and Satan [the possessor] standing at his right hand to resist [satan] him.
2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke you, O Satan; even the LORD that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: is not this [My people at large] a brand plucked [natsal – “caught up”] out of the fire?
3 Now Joshua [the dead body of Christ, the priesthood as the elect remnant first risen] was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before [paniym – the LORD’s presence] the angel.
4 And he answered and spoke unto those that stood before [paniym – in the presence of] him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you [‘abar – the Passover from death into life], and I will clothe you with change of raiment [that will truly protect you from the corrupt elements, the rudiments of the world, by which all are held in death and hell].
5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments [these are the garments put on by the purified priest]. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
6 And the angel of the LORD protested [reiterated] unto Joshua [the priesthood, the ONE BODY of Christ], saying,
7 Thus says the LORD of hosts; If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my charge, then you shall also judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you places to walk among these that stand by. [1 Peter 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe {the LORD is with us speaking and working} he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient {who refuse to obey His voice}, the stone which the builders {of their own corrupt houses which, in vain, they call by the LORD’s name} disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner {turning His people back to Himself}, 8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word {here heard}, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed {drawn out, exposes as resisting His work, into His marvelous light}. 9 But you are a chosen generation {the first of His new creation}, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of {these men’s} darkness into his marvelous light; 10 Which in time past were not a people {Lo-ammi}, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy {through this grace given}, but now have obtained mercy {eleeo – the “compassions” of Jude 1:22, which is one of the two ways we are told to pull {harpazo – “caught up”} people from the fire of hell}. 11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims {in this totally corrupt world: time}, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the {immortal} soul; 12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles {speaking this same word, manifesting the LORD to those who haven’t know Him}: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works {with which we are here furnish}, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation {episkope – this day when the LORD has come as the Chief overseer of the earth}.]
8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest [those who have come into the LORD’s presence manifested in this conversation at His mercy seat], you, and your fellows that sit before [paniym – in My presence manifested in] you: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch [through whom flow this sustenance, which produce the fruit in those joined with Him].
9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes [the Chruch seeing as the LORD sees]: behold, I will engrave the graving [write this writing] thereof, says the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day [when this word is exalted above all other voices].
10 In that day [when I open your mouths], says the LORD of hosts [as man of war, able to bring all things under His rule], shall you call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree [into this BODY made ONE in my hand: the LORD working through us, in us].
The next three times the word yada’ appears are in Zechariah 4, as the LORD speaks of Zerubbabel, a name meaning he is born by coming out of confusion (into the light). He is mentioned in the king line of Jesus and represents the restoration of civil government, which, with Joshua (in the line of Joseph), gives us the meaning of the “royal priesthood” spoken of by Peter in 1 Peter 2:9 above.
Zechariah 4
1 And the angel [the message of the LORD, in His word, the wheel within a wheel, sent through time to us] that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is [the first] wakened out of his sleep.
2 And said unto me, What sees you? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my LORD?
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Know [yada’] you not what these be? And I said, No, my LORD.
6 Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit [speaking and working unknown though this word], says the LORD of hosts [a man of war].
7 Who are you, O great mountain [the now totally corrupt nation: church and state government institution]? before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain [be brought down]: and he shall bring forth the headstone [the One and Only LORD, the living God Almighty] thereof with shouting [as an archangel speaking from heaven, this firmament, this exposition], crying, Grace, grace unto it [in the LORD voice heard: given as received].
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also [on the other side of the river, NOW] finish it; and you shall know [yada’] that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you [as His man of war].
10 For who has despised the day of small things [the powerless and foolish things, as seen by this corrupt and ignorant world]? for they shall rejoice [realizing the LORD’s presence], and shall see the plummet [assessing the true condition] in the hand [work] of Zerubbabel with those seven [the Church united with the king, in ONE BODY]; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro [increasing knowledge and understanding, from shuwts, meaning to push forth, like a mariner upon these waters] through the whole earth [‘erets].
The word rendered “small things,” is qatan. Above is its final use. It first appears in Genesis 1:9, rendered “lesser,” speaking of the moon (civil government) as compared to the sun (the Church) and their intended relationship: the lesser merely reflecting the light of the sun (the understanding of the Church). As we understand, most of what the now grotesquely bloated U.S. governments do (usurped by false interpretation and exaggeration of “promoting the general welfare,” and implementing in policies that produce the antithesis) should be administerd by (are the responsibility of) the churches (based on individual responsibility, working together therein). As we know, these two institutions (church and state), now corrupted, without light, instead of promoting such, drain life from those they should be serving.
Zechariah 4
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees [Joshua and Zerubbabel, through whom the LORD flows the oil {anointing} that feeds the light] upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest [yada’] you not what these be? And I said, No, my LORD.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth [‘erets].
The next use of yada’ comes in Zechariah 6:15, speaking of this time, then far off, when God’s people are again built as His temple, their cleansed minds He’s made His holy place, when His people know He has sent me (us), and hear His voice and obey Him.
The following, ending with Isaiah 8, is from the post of 5 July 2023, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Isaiah 7
13 And he said, Hear you now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also?
14 Therefore the LORD himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel [God with us].
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that you abhor shall be forsaken [neglected and abandoned] of both her kings [[the government, institutions, of church and state]].
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a [one] man shall nourish [chayah – shall be given life by] a young cow, and two sheep [the LORD’s word, through His flock, sent forth by the living creatures sacrificing, then and now, to do His work – Ezekiel’s wheel within a wheel seen from Isaiah’s view];
22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk [foundational principles] that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey [so they know to refuse evil and choose good] shall every one eat that is left [yathar] in the land [‘erets – the earth].
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings [abundance], it shall even be [overgrown due to the forsaking of the kings] for briers [deceivers] and thorns [misleaders].
24 With arrows [Ephraim – the LORD’s quiver filled with His corrected children] and with bows [Judah – God’s elect remnant [[from qesheth; here taught to use this bow in the cloud, as seen in the previous post]]] shall men come thither [against them]; because all the land [‘erets – the earth] shall become [rule by] briers [deceivers] and thorns [misleader].
Here is the full Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definition of yathar: “to jut over or exceed; by implication, to excel; (intransitively) to remain or be left; causatively, to leave, cause to abound, preserve:–excel, leave (a remnant), left behind, too much, make plenteous, preserve, (be, let) remain(-der, -ing, – nant), reserve, residue, rest.” [[The word yathar is used in Genesis 49:4, in the pattern of unstable Reuben, the son of perdition in these last days, who will not “excel.”]]
Again, it is referring to Joseph (Ephraim), as described by Jacob when he, in Genesis 49, tells his children what shall befall them in these last days (‘achariyth). The passage speaks of Joseph (continuing and remaining) in the context of his name, as a fruitful bough, whose branches run over (jut over) the wall of lies built by the deceivers and misleaders now in power over the world.
Galatians 4
16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17 They [the deceivers and misleaders] zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would [now] exclude you, that you might affect them [with the understanding and life you’ve now received].
18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, you barren that bears not; break forth and cry, you that travail not: for the desolate has many more children than she which has a husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what says the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Micah 5
1 Now gather yourself in troops [gadad], O daughter of troops [gduwd]: he has laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, though you be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travails has brought forth [the man child]: then the [[elect]] remnant [[Judah – the new leaders the LORD is here raising]] of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel [[all God’s people at large]].
4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength [[understanding]] of the LORD, in the majesty of the name [[His identity manifested and declared]] of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends [the end of the old and the beginning of the new] of the earth.
5 And this man [Shiloh] shall be the peace, when the Assyrian [the communists] shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces [as they now do], then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men [[new leaders in church and state]].
Genesis 49
10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet [speaking of the Davidic king line], until Shiloh come [meaning peace and tranquility – the one {Joseph’s seed – the one separated} from who it will again flow – see Ezekiel 21:27 and the overturning]; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine [this speaking of the lowly {Zechariah 9:9}, God’s elect remnant, outside the established sects, bound until Shiloh comes, when they are loosed]; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine [[a changed mind]], and his teeth white with milk [[these foundational principles; stoichion]].
22 Joseph [[David’s ‘adown, LORD]] is a fruitful bough [[the Branch, from whom comes the fruit and seed]], even a fruitful bough by a well [a tree of life by these waters of God]; whose branches run over the wall [the wall of lies men have created and teach]:
23 The archers [ba’al – the gods of this world whose teaching has blinded all from seeing the Father, in the son, the seed of the women who brings forth the man child – see Revelation 12:17] have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow [[qasheth]] abode in strength [[understanding in the cloud]], and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands [this work] of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is [[come]] the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of your father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies under [the deep meaning that lies below the surface], blessings of the breasts, and of the womb [seed, the son]:
26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors [all those who have come before us, and were only blessed with part of what is perfected in our return to the LORD] unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they [[these blessings]] shall be on the head [[in the minds]] of Joseph [[his seed]], and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
The “ruler” mentioned above in Micah 5:2, the “governor” of Matthew 2:6 where the verse is quoted, is the Hebrew word mashal, meaning “to rule:–(have, make to have) dominion, governor, X indeed, reign, (bear, cause to, have) rule(-ing, -r), have power.” It (mashal) appears once in Zechariah, in Zechariah 6:13, rendered “rule” in telling of when Joshua (Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh), the son of Josedech (Jehovah’s righteousness), is crowned.
[[Matthew 2:6 And you Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.]]
Zechariah 6
8 Then cried he upon me, and spoke unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country [[the darkness, ignorance, where all these ideas are hidden]] have quieted my spirit [[by not speaking this true word of God]] in the north country.
9 And the word of the LORD came unto me [[alone]], saying,
10 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai [worldly], of Tobijah [to whom Jehovah is good {not a misleader}], and of Jedaiah [who Jehovah has known], which are come from Babylon [out of confusion], and come you the same day, and go into the house of Josiah [who Jehovah heals] the son of Zephaniah [by Jehovah’s hidden treasures {this word}];
11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua [Jehovah’s Salvation personified] the son of Josedech [who is Jehovah’s righteousness], the high priest;
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name [[identity]] is The Branch [[Zerubbabel, the seed]]; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple [[the house, the LORD’s dwelling place, of Zechariah 4:9]] of the LORD:
13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule [mashal] upon his throne; and he shall be a priest [[Joshua, as in 3:8, these two as ONE BODY]] upon his throne: and the counsel of peace [[Shiloh]] shall be between them both [the one who is both king and priest].
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem [strength], and to Tobijah [to whom Jehovah is good {not a misleader}], and to Jedaiah [who Jehovah has known], and to Hen [favor and grace] the son of Zephaniah [by Jehovah’s hidden treasures {this word that was carried away into Shinar}], for a memorial [zikrown, meaning “a memento (or memorable thing, day or writing)” – the things of the storehouse remembered and “restored”] in the temple of the LORD [[the minds of His people]].
15 And they that are far off [rachowq – in this time ruled by evil decree] shall come [to their right mind] and build in the temple of the LORD, and you shall know [[yada’]] that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you [[as a man of His just war]]. And this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
The word zikrown refers us to what is written in Malachi 3:16, where it is rendered “remembrance.”
Malachi 3
8 Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse: for you have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10 Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse [these treasure into the churches called by My name, unto those sleeping in ignorance caused by my spirit there quieted, after the treasure, these words were carried away into Shinar, the place of the [[deep]] sleep], that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing [[upon the seed of Joseph]], that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, says the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a delightsome land, says the LORD of hosts.
13 Your words have been stout against me, says the LORD. Yet you say, What have we spoken so much against you?
14 You have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before [[paniym – in the presence of]] the LORD of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work [‘asah] wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God [[doubt His presence]] are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard [[shama’ – and obeyed]] it, and a book of remembrance [zikrown – reminding of the things forgotten] was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up [‘asah – do My work upon] my jewels [My people who are My crown – as opposed to the piercing, the crown of thorns placed there by the misleaders – Zechariah 9:16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign {a sign in heaven, upon the one they pierced} upon his land.]; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.
18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.
In Revelation 12:15, as above, the LORD speaks of my coming, as the man child born and caught up [[harpazo – the first pulled from the fires of hell]] to the throne where I now sit. You are those then spoken of as the woman nourished (with butter and honey) in the wilderness, which brought the understanding you’ve received, and by it learned to refuse evil and choose good: the strength to bring forth the same child: the mind of Christ now formed in you. This is the rising of the ONE BODY of Christ.
The LORD has given us revelation, revealing these mysteries in His great treasures. Christ-like charity (agape – love) freely gives as He has given, as tithes into His sleeping churches. Giving just one-tenth of what He has given opens (has opened) the windows in heaven.
Isaiah 8
13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides his face [presence] from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwells in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits [the voices of the known dead, speaking the ways of death], and unto wizards [the “experts” of this corrupt world] that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? [Should they be looking] for the living to the dead?
20 [Or should they be looking] To the law and to the testimony [these treasures?]: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light [understanding] in them.
The blessings, spoken of in Malachi 3 above, are these treasures remembered, delivered by those who serve the LORD, His messenger, His angels who’ve regained their first estate, no longer speaking their own word, but His as received.
Malachi 3
1 Behold, I will send my messenger [mal’ak- My angel, who is a man of war as well as a man of God], and he shall prepare the way before me [paniym – in Him My presence is manifested]: and the LORD [‘adown – the king], whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger [mal’ak] of the covenant [of My promises], whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts [who is a man of war].
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers [using their words to cast evil spells], and against the adulterers [those who’ve left Me to follow other men], and against false swearers [the now known liars and false accusers], and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages [through confiscatory taxation], the widow, and the fatherless [oppressing those without any man to protect and defend them], and that turn aside the stranger from his right [leading into evil those who don’t know Me or my ways], and fear not me [My inescapable law that inevitably brings their destruction by their own evil, of which I have often warned], says the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war, the Commander in Chief of the army of heaven].
6 For I am the LORD, I change [shanah] not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.
7 Even from the days of your fathers you are gone away from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says the LORD of hosts. But you said, Wherein shall we return?
The return to the LORD, and the condition of those angels that left their first estate, are those spoken of in Malachi 2, verse 7, telling us these messengers, angels, are the priests cleansed (like Joshua in Zechariah 3) from corruption and iniquity.
Malachi 2
1 And now, O you priests, this commandment is for you.
2 If you will not hear [shama’ – and obey], and if you will not lay it to heart [as the foundation of your minds], to give glory unto my name [identity], says the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart.
3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
4 And you shall know [yada’ – the only time the word appears in Malachi] that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before [paniym – my presence] my name [manifesting My identity].
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
7 For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger [mal’ak – angel] of the LORD of hosts.
8 But you are departed out of the way; you have caused many to stumble at the law; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
The next time the word yada’ appears in Zechariah, in Zechariah 7:14, it is while speaking of the 70 years, the time of the desolation caused by the abomination put in the place of the holy, during which the LORD was speaking by the former prophets, rightly interpreted by the LORD’s Spirit in Zechariah, who was declaring it and Him.
Zechariah 7
4 Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years [of desolation], did you at all fast [abstaining from the corrupt words of men] unto me, even to me?
6 And when you did eat [men’s defiled words, as dung covering my presence], and when you did drink [that which corrupted your minds], did not you eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
7 Should you not hear the words which the LORD has cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?
8 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,
9 Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder [refusing to carry My words to My people], and stopped their ears, that they would not hear [shama’ – or obey].
12 Yea, they made their hearts [minds] as an adamant stone, lest they should hear [shama’ – and obey] the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts has sent in his spirit [in this wheel within a wheel] by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear [shama’]; so they cried, and I would not hear [shama’], says the LORD of hosts:
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind [from where My voice is heard] among all the nations [those who haven’t known Me] whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate [during the seventy years] after [‘achar – until these last days now come upon] them, that no man passed through [‘abar – none passed from death into life] nor returned [to the LORD]: for they [before these seventy years, by their abominations] laid the pleasant land [‘erets] desolate.
Zechariah 11 [as it appeared in the post of 11 October 2022, with today’s additions in double brackets.]
1 Open your doors, O Lebanon [high places where purity should be seen], that the fire may devour your cedars.
2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is [the upright are] fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O you oaks of Bashan [that should be fruitful]; for the forest of the vintage [batsowr’ – only appearing here, meaning lofty and thought to be inaccessible] is come down.
3 There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride [ga’own – swelling] of Jordan [whose word carried all in the descent into death] is spoiled.
4 Thus says the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter [haregah];
5 Whose possessors [devils – the evil possessing them] slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them [betray them for a price] say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, says the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor’s hand, and into the hand of his king [into the hand of Satan, death, that they learn not to blaspheme]: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.
7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter [haregah], even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dies, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited [[for the full manifestation from the four faces of the wheel within a wheel]] upon me knew [[yada’]] that it was the word of the LORD.
12 And I said unto them, If you think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver [[the price of the betrayal by Judas, who is Judah, the leaders, shepherds, of God’s people]].
13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was priced at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter [[those forming earthen vessels: shaping the minds of men]] in the house of the LORD [and they realized that for a price they betrayed me].
14 Then I cut asunder my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah [the current corrupt leaders] and Israel [and My people at large, to free them from those who misled them into death].
15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto you yet the instruments [kliy – an apparatus] of a foolish shepherd [[who replaced good with their foolish creations]].
16 For, lo [[see the betrayal]], I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit [paqad – who as Eli, didn’t oversee or correct] those that be cut off, neither shall seek [baqash – search out the errors of] the young one [na’ar, only here, meaning tossed by the waves, the swelling pride of the dead], nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that stands still [[not doing the works they should be]]: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces [as do the false prophets and false teachers of our time, feed on the flock].
17 Woe to the idol [‘eliyl – good for nothing, referring us to Eli] shepherd that leave [‘azab – relinquishes {responsibility to correct}, and permits {evil}] the flock! the sword [this word from the mouth of God] shall be upon his arm [against his dead work], and upon his right eye [against the lies of the false prophets, who say they see something, and use these lies to misdirect those who follow them]: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened [realized to be total ignorance].
The following is from the post of 7 March 2023, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Micah 6
1 Hear you now what the LORD says; Arise, contend [[riyb – 7378, different word than in the next verse]] you before the mountains [[the old and corrupt governments]], and let the hills [[the new governments rising to replace the mountains]] hear your voice.
2 Hear you, O mountains, the LORD’s controversy [riyb], and you strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD has a controversy [riyb] with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
3 O my people, what have I done unto you? and wherein have I wearied you? testify against me.
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9 The LORD’s voice cries unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see your name [identity]: hear you the rod [of His voice correcting us], and who has appointed [[ya’ad]] it. [[ya’ad – meaning “to fix upon (by agreement or appointment); by implication, to meet (at a stated time), to summon (to trial), to direct (in a certain quarter or position), to engage (for marriage),” is the word use to tell of where the LORD promised He would “meet” with us. Exodus 25:21 And you shall put the mercy seat above upon the ark {the vessel in which I Am}; and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you. 22 And there I will meet {ya’ad} with you, and I will commune with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim {speaking face to face} which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give you in commandment {which, for our good, we should hear and obey} unto the children of Israel.]]
10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness [[men’s misinterpretation, vain creations misdirecting all into not hearing or obeying Me and not knowing My ways]] in the house [[their corrupt institution]] of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable [[and produced the current desolation]]?
11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
Zechariah 14
1 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you.
2 For I will gather all nations [[all who haven’t known the LORD]] against Jerusalem [[the LORD’s people at large]] to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity [[possessed by devils]], and the residue [[a very small elect remnant]] of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD [[with and in His elect remnant]] go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he [[as a man of war]] fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives [[where the LORD spends His nights, alone communing with the Father in the time when darkness covers the earth]], which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west [half toward the sunrise of the New creation and half toward the sunset, the end of the old and corrupt], and there shall be a very great valley [when the mighty are humbled]; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north [into ignorance, the darkness they choose because their deeds are evil], and half of it toward the south [to God’s right hand, His strength that comes with His understanding].
5 And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal [when you are separated from the high places, by this reserved word of God]: yea, you shall flee [from these misleaders, who are under the LORD’s feet, as His footstool], like as you fled from before the earthquake [when the wicked are shaken from the new heaven and earth] in the days of Uzziah [shaken by Jehovah’s strength, His understanding come] king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with you [See Jude 1 and Enoch’s foretelling this]. [[Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.]]
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light [understanding] shall not be clear [shall not be realized], nor dark [even though it’s no longer hidden in ignorance]:
7 But it shall be one day [when the time is reached {NOW} when God’s people must rise to preach and teach the word He has given us – How is it that you wise men know not the day of the LORD’s presence? Is it because you are not His, and therefore cannot hear His voice?] which shall be known [[yada’]] to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light [when the light has almost completely left, understanding shall come {comprehended not}, as darkness falls complete in the now mass delusion].
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem [this word of God from His people]; half of them toward the former sea [the last generation of the old corrupt world], and half of them toward the hinder sea [the new generation in this new heaven and earth, wherein dwells righteousness]: in summer and in winter [to the zealous and the sleeping] shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be ONE LORD, and his name ONE.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon [when the high places of those who think they are the upright fruit, are humbled] south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate [when entering they become the right hand of God] unto the place of the first gate [with Judah the elect remnant], unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses [who God has shown favor, whose positions are their advantage and strength, who receive His grace and mercy in this judgment].
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but [[new heavenly]] Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited [[the LORD dwelling with us, in us]].
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will [[with this word from His mouth]] smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their [works of the] flesh shall consume [maqaq – melt away in the fire they’ve caused] away while they stand upon their feet [are risen in the flesh], and their eyes [what they’ve seen, their corrupt understanding] shall consume [maqaq – shall melt] away in their holes, and their tongue [their word they have exalted above God’s, with which they misled and destroyed the world] shall consume [maqaq – shall melt] away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
14 And Judah [[the elect remnant]] also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen [[the things, ideas, those who haven’t know the LORD, think are valuable]] round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
15 And so shall be the plague [[these ideas, as the strength that carries them in their ways]] of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left [[yathar – remains, and join with the LORD]] of all the nations [[who where before ignorant of Him]] which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles [leaving their houses to dwell in Him [[and Him in them]]].
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families [separated from the misleaders, the dead who’ve been their kings] of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the [ONE] King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain [[these life-giving waters from heaven, from the cloud]].
18 And if the family of Egypt [the separated families who were oppressed by their misleaders] go not up, and come not, that have no rain [no word of God, the light, understanding that only comes from Him, which only brings life again in the earth]; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt [the oppressors], and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses [ringing out from the strong], Holiness Unto The LORD; and the pots in the LORD’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar [filled with the blood of His sacrifice].
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite [those zealous against the living God and His children] in the house of the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war].
Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month [in the perfect time], in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai [[the sacrifice of this festival]], saying,
2 Speak now to Zerubbabel [those born again by coming out of confusion] the son of Shealtiel [for which they asked God], governor of Judah, and to Joshua [the cleansed priesthood, the [[ONE]] body of Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation personified] the son of Josedech [who are Jehovah’s righteousness], the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
3 Who is left among you that saw this house [[family]] in her first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? [[Jude 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that the LORD, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.]]
4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, says the LORD, and work: for I am with you [[in you]], says the LORD of hosts:
5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so my spirit remains among you: fear you not.
6 For thus says the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens [the corrupted understanding covering all the world in darkness], and the earth [this generation], and the sea [all the nations and people], and the dry land [where My word is not heard];
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory [My presence in My People], says the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war].
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts.
9 The glory of this latter house [[estate, family]] shall be greater than of the former, says the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, says the LORD of hosts.
10 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius [[the LORD with us]], came the word of the LORD by Haggai [[by His sacrifice with, in]] the prophet, saying,
11 Thus says the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No [[so let nothing touch that which is holy]].
13 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean [[so let no one touch the things of the dead]].
14 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, says the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
15 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone [[before you learned line upon line, precept upon precept]] in the temple [[from the mind]] of the LORD:
16 Since those days were, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the press-fat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labors of your hands; yet you turned not to me, says the LORD.
18 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid, consider it.
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, has not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
20 And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms [of the wicked], and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, will I take you, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the LORD, and will make you as a signet [chowtham – My signature pressed into the earth]: for I have chosen you, says the LORD of hosts.
Psalms 71
1 In you, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline your ear unto me, and save me.
3 Be you my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: you have given commandment to save me; for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For you are my hope, O LORD God: you are my trust from my youth.
6 By you have I been held up from the womb: you are he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of you.
7 I am as a wonder unto many; but you are my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honor all the day.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
10 For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Saying, God has forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise you more and more.
15 My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
16 I will go in the strength of the LORD God: I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours only.
17 O God, you have taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared your wondrous works.
18 Now also when I am old and grey-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shown your strength unto this generation, and your power to every one that is to come.
19 Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who have done great things: O God, who is like unto you!
20 You, which have shown me great and sore troubles, shall quicken me again, and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 I will also praise you with the psaltery, even your truth, O my God: unto you will I sing with the harp, O you Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto you; and my soul, which you have redeemed.
24 My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
