For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Friends, the LORD above, in Jeremiah 29:11, tells of the “expected end” that comes after Judah’s (the leaders of God’s people) seventy years in desolation. It (theirs and our desolation) will end when this word is received as the LORD’s and proclaimed as such to His people, calling all to repentance (en masse) and unification under Him (as one nation under God).
Jeremiah 29
8 For thus says the LORD of hosts [I Am a man of war], the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams [the thoughts of your sleeping minds] which you cause to be dreamed.
9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, says the LORD.
10 For thus says the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon [ruled by the confusion that results from believing the lies of the false prophets and false teachers in your midst] I will visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth appear to] you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place [of understanding, by an awakened mind].
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12 Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And you shall [diligently] seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart [mind].
14 And I will be found of you, says the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations [from the rule of those who haven’t known Me or My way], and from all the places whither I have driven you, says the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
15 Because you have said, The LORD has raised us up [from death into life] prophets [speaking His word as received] in Babylon [this state of confusion now turned mass insanity];
16 Know that thus says the LORD of the king [Trump] that sits upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwell in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
17 Thus says the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword [this word they have refused to hear as His], the famine [without this word], and the pestilence [the dis-ease that results from refusing it], and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
Friends, neither Trump nor the Government is going to (is able to) save us or this nation. It, they, are going to fail, because of the systemic corruption of the institutions (church and state). The intellectual elites therein are arguing (to gain supremacy) about whether the church needs a revival or an awakening, when it should be acting out (in deed working out) repentance and reformation, its leaders returning to their first estate: speaking this word of God as received from Him.
The words rendered “expected end” are tiqvah’ achariyth, speaking of this end of the line (qav), this after life now come. The latter word we know well, the other (tiqvah) means “from 6960 [qavah – meaning “to bind together (perhaps by twisting), i.e. collect; (figuratively) to expect”; literally, a cord (as an attachment (compare 6961 [qaveh – meaning “a (measuring) cord (as if for binding [by rightly assessing])])); figuratively, expectancy:–expectation ((-ted)), hope, live, thing that I long for.”
Jeremiah only uses the word tiqvah elsewhere in Jeremiah 31:17 (before speaking of the new covenant, which is His promise that He would write this word into our minds, as a new foundation, and all would thereby know Him), and in Lamentations 3:29.
Jeremiah 31
10 Hear [shama’ – and obey] the word of the LORD, O you nations [gowy – all who haven’t known Me, and thereby became Lo-Ammi: not My people], and declare it in the isles afar off [merchaq – this time when the LORD’s decrees are realized; referring us to the word’s use in Jeremiah 8:19, saying “Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country {merchaq}: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?], and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a [good] shepherd [and stone, who is Shiloh] does his flock.
11 For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him [the corrupt powers in church and state] that was stronger than he [His people].
12 Therefore they shall come and sing [repeating this word] in the height of Zion, and shall flow together [into His ONE BODY] to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden [upon whom comes these treasures]; and they [after correction and repentance] shall not sorrow any more at all.
13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort [nacham] them [leading them into all truth], and make them rejoice [realizing My presence with them, in them] from their sorrow.
14 And I will satiate the soul of the [cleansed] priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness [this milk and honey, by which they have learned to refuse evil and choose good], says the LORD.
15 Thus says the LORD; A voice [My word heard from the teachers I have raised] was heard in Ramah, lamentation [referring us to Lamentation 3:29 below, speaking of not lamenting those who not yet awakened and corrected, but rather waiting on the LORD’s timing, when He will, as promised awaken them], and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted [refuse to be corrected, refusing to be led into all truth] for her children, because they were not [not yet brought to life].
16 Thus says the LORD; Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears: for your work [teaching and leading] shall be rewarded, says the LORD; and they shall come again from the land [’erets – the old earth] of the enemy [mixed among us].
17 And there is hope [tiqvah – expectation] in your end [’achariyth – this end now come], says the LORD, that your children shall come again to their own border [gbuwl – the beginning of this promised land: this new earth].
18 I have surely heard Ephraim [Joseph’s seed, taught by his mother Rachel] bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised [corrected; as in Hebrews 12:6, into becoming His children] me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke [unaccustomed to being joined with the LORD in His family: His ONE BODY]: turn you me [back to Yourself by your correction], and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented [leaving behind childish things, and becoming man: the first generation of Your new creation]; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, says the LORD.
21 Set you up waymarks, make you high heaps: set your heart toward the highway [to your return to Me], even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin [refusing all the men who’ve led you away from the LORD God] of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
22 How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman [all God’s people at large, as in Genesis 37:7, Joseph’s dream, when he sees himself rising first and then all God’s people becoming obedient to him as their king, for which telling of it they hated him] shall compass [cabab – showing differential respect to] a man.
23 Thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war], the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless you, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
24 And there shall dwell in Judah [this place the LORD has given to the elect remnant] itself, and in all the cities thereof together, and they that go forth with flocks.
25 For I have [with these treasures] satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
26 Upon this I awaked [from the deep sleep], and beheld [ra’ah – I saw as the LORD sees]; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
Genesis 37
7 For, behold [seeing this time of the harvest as the LORD sees], we were binding [’alam – putting to silence] sheaves [’alummah – what silence] in the field, and, lo, my sheaf [’alummah] arose [my silence was ended before all the others’], and also stood upright [I Am resurrected by the presence of the LORD with me, in me]; and, behold, your sheaves [’alummah] stood round about [cabab – to hear this voice above all other voices, showing differential respect to this man], and made obeisance to my sheaf [’alummah].
8 And his brethren said to him, will you indeed reign over us? or shall you indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to you to the earth?
11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed [shamar – protected and guarded; hedged with thorns] the saying.
As we know (see the post of 20 October 2025), this (obeisance) is later fulfilled, when, due to the famine (now, for hearing this word of God), Joseph’s brothers come before him (unrecognized, as a king) to ask for the nourishment they lack, which they received.
As we saw, in the above-mentioned post, the question of who are the sheaves (the silent, not speaking this word of God, and the silenced, of their own word so this word can rise above all other voices) is answered in the uses of the word ‘alam (bound, silence), several of which passages appear here below.
1 Corinthians 15
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every [made alive] man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
24 Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign [by this voice of the LORD heard], till he has put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted [received as the LORD God], which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son [I Am] also himself [be realized to be flesh man in whom the Father dwells] be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead [into His death], if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead [into His death]?
Romans 6
3 Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried [seed sown into the earth] with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father [taken below the surface of these waters, realizing we are dead flesh without His word, in which is His Spirit, light, and life], even so we also should [receiving this ingrafted word] walk in newness of life [ending our silence].
Isaiah 53
6 All we like sheep have gone astray [into apostacy]; we have turned every one to his own way [forgetting the only way is the LORD’s]; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep [rachel – one of four times the word is used – her child whose birthright is the throne, traveling, journeying, through the generations] before her shearers is dumb [’alam], so he opened not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment [as was Joseph, Rachel’s child]: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living [sent here into death and hell]: for the transgression of my people was he stricken [with them].
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise [daka’] him; he has put him to grief: when you [God’s people] shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear [cabal] their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he has poured out his soul unto [as a willing servant sent here into] death: and he was numbered with the transgressors [as I now am]; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Psalms 31
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14 But I trusted in you, O LORD: I said, You are my God.
15 My times are in your hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16 Make your face [paniym – presence] to shine [Your understanding] upon your servant: save me for your mercies’ sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon you: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave [sh’owl – sheol, hell].
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence [’alam]; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for them that fear you; which you have wrought for them that trust in you before the sons of men!
20 You shall hide them in the secret of your presence [paniym] from the pride of man: you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD: for he has shown me his marvelous kindness in a strong city.
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes: nevertheless you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried unto you.
23 O love the LORD, all you his saints: for the LORD preserves the faithful, and plentifully rewards the proud doer.
24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart [giving understanding to your mind], all you that hope in the LORD.
Psalms 39
1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
2 I was dumb [’alam] with silence [duwmiYAH – unable to speak the words of Jehovah], I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spoke I with my tongue,
4 LORD, make me to know my end [qets], and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.
Ezekiel 3
25 But you, O son of man, behold, they shall [before they rise from the dead] put bands upon you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:
26 And I will make your tongue cleave [dabaq – remain one flesh with the LORD alone] to the roof of your mouth [chek – as sweetness in your mouth alone], that you shall be [to them] dumb [’alam – thought to not be speaking of or in the name of the LORD], and shall not be [received] to them [as] a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.
27 But when I speak [dabar – speaking of the LORD’s voice realized as His mind is revealed] with you; I will open your mouth [first], and you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD God [’Adonay Jehovih – the King of kings and the LORD of lords]; He that hears [shama’ – hears this report, the shmuw’ah, as the voice of Jehovah], let him hear [shama’ – hear and obey]; and he that forbears [chadal – refusing to believe the report is the LORD’s voice of warning], let him forbear [chadal – refusing to hear Him, and not obey]: for they are a rebellious house.
Ezekiel 24
24 Thus Ezekiel [who God strengthens] is unto you a sign: according to all that he has done shall you do [giving this word and declaring it is the LORD speaking and working to correct His people]: and when this comes, you shall know that I am the LORD God.
25 Also, you son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength [their understanding], the joy [their realization of My presence] of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
26 That he that escapes in that day shall come unto you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
27 In that day shall your mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and you shall speak, and be no more dumb [’alam]: and you shall be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel 33
22 Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening [during this time of darkness], afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning [when this understanding has come]; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb [’alam].
Lamentation 3
22 It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed [in the belly of hell], because his compassions [racham – meaning bowels or womb, from where we are born, or like Jonah, vomited from, into this dry land] fail not.
23 They are new every morning [and the only vexation is to understand the report, that it is the voice of the LORD heard]: great is your faithfulness.
24 The LORD is my portion [cheleq – inheritance, to Whom we are joined in new life], says my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him [in the full circuit of this wheel within a wheel], to the soul that [diligently] seeks him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly [stopping his own words] wait for the salvation of the LORD [in this expected end].
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth [the childish things which must now be put away].
28 He sits [separated unto the LORD] alone and keeps silence [so he may hear His voice above all others], because he has borne it upon him.
29 He puts his mouth in the dust [he understands the words of man are the cause of the ruin of the earth, from where man is again created]; if so be there may be hope [tiqvah – this expectation, this life after death reached].
30 He gives his cheek to him that smites him [for daring to speak in the LORD’s name the word received from Him]: he is filled full with reproach [because he, I, believe the things heard from Him].
31 For the LORD will not cast off [his sleeping people] forever:
32 But though he cause grief [yagah – by the words of ignorant men, to expose them by this light given against their reviling], yet will he have compassion [racham – bring the new birth] according to the multitude of his mercies.
33 For he does not afflict willingly nor grieve [yagah – as in Job 19:2] the children of men.
34 To crush under his feet all the prisoners [held captive in Satan’s work through those he possesses] of the earth.
35 To turn aside the right [mishpat – judgment, the LORD’s way] of a man before the face [paniym – manifesting the presence] of the Most High,
36 To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approves [ra’ah] not [not seeing as He sees].
37 Who is he that says, and it comes to pass, when the LORD [’Adonay] commands it not?
38 Out of the mouth [this voice] of the Most High proceeds not evil and good?
39 Wherefore does a living man complain [about His correction], a man for the punishment of his sins?
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
41 Let us lift up our heart [minds] with our hands [and work] unto God in the heavens.
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: you have not pardoned [calach – referring us to Jeremiah 5:1, where the reason is given, why he has not yet pardoned those choosing darkness].
43 You have covered with anger, and persecuted us: you have slain, you have not pitied.
44 You have covered yourself with a cloud [the understanding removed from the earth], that our prayer [of ignorance] should not pass through.
45 You have made us [those teaching and leading God’s people] as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
47 Fear and a snare is come upon us [all the earth], desolation and destruction.
48 My eye run down with rivers of [this life-giving] water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 My eye trickles down, and ceases not, without any intermission.
50 Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
51 My eye affects my heart [mind] because of all the daughters of my city.
52 My enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon [of hell], and cast a stone upon me [covering the mouth].
54 Waters [the words of men] flowed over my head; then I said, I am cut off [from the LORD].
55 I called upon your name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon [like Jonah did from the whale’s belly, the belly of hell].
56 You have heard my voice: hide not your ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57 You drew near in the day that I called upon you: you said, Fear not.
58 O LORD, you have pleaded the causes of my soul; you have redeemed my life.
59 O LORD, you have seen my wrong: judge you my cause.
60 You have seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
61 You have heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations [creations of their minds] against me;
62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day [this time when light has again come to the earth].
63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their music.
64 Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
65 Give them sorrow of heart [reveal their vain minds], your curse unto them.
66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens [this place of full understanding] of the LORD.
Jeremiah 5
1 Run you to and fro [seeking] through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if you can find a man, if there be any that executes judgment, that seeks the Truth; and I will pardon [calach] it.
2 And though they say, The LORD lives; surely they swear falsely [taking My name in vain as they pray to their idols they put in My place].
3 O LORD, are not your eyes upon the Truth? you have stricken them, but they have not grieved; you have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor [without worldly power, refusing My treasures, lacking understanding]; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
5 I will get me unto the great men [who should know My ways], and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds [nathaq – forgotten that I freed them from the same wickedness that now again possessed them].
6 Wherefore a lion [falsely saying they are speaking for the LORD] out of the forest [falsely so called upright men] shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings [enemies among them scattering them away from My flock] shall spoil them, a leopard [those who cannot change their ways] shall watch over their cities: every one that goes out [away from Me] thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7 How shall I pardon [calach] you for this [rejecting correction]? your children have forsaken me, and sworn by them [men they follow, in whom they put their trust, and are, thereby, self-cursed] that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full [with My word, this feast], they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses [whose ways are the way into death and hell].
8 They were as fed horses in the morning [fed when this light has come]: every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife [to entice others into their same old corruption].
9 Shall I not visit [paqad – manifest My presence as Chief Shepherd and Overseer] for these things? says the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation [My people who refuse to know Me] as this?
10 Go you up upon her walls [as a standard, the nec upon which the son of man must be lifted, on the wall of Babylon], and destroy; but make not a full end [kalah]: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’s.
11 For the house of Israel [Christians] and the house of Judah [Jews] have dealt very treacherously against me, says the LORD.
12 They have belied [kachash – been untrue, denied, and refused to submit to] the LORD, and said, It is not He; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine [both speaking of this word they reject]:
13 And the prophets shall become wind [false doctrines that carry them away], and the word [of the LORD] is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
14 Wherefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, Because you speak this word [of corruption against Me], behold [when you see], I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them [corrupt men who choose to remain in their corruption, whose thoughts and works against the Truth are the evil that marks them].
Friends, the misleaders are those, knowing or not, who claim they are lights, but whose understanding is deep darkness and the shadow (blocking the light) of death.
2 Corinthians 11
13 For such are false apostles [saying they are followers of Christ], deceitful workers, transforming [metaschematizo] themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed [metaschematizo] into an angel of light.
15 Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed [metaschematizo] as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their [evil, misleading, slandering good] works.
Proverbs 23
1 When you sit to eat with a ruler [the tyrants who now gaslight and demoralize the world], consider diligently what is before you [understand it is deception meant to impoverish and enslave you]:
2 And put a knife to your throat [stopping you from swallowing their ways of death], if you be a man given to appetite.
3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
4 Labor not to be rich: cease from your own wisdom [seek the treasures of heaven, and the wisdom that is Ancient of Days – the law of nature and nature’s God].
5 Will you set your eyes upon that which is not [good]? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away [when full understanding has come] as an eagle toward heaven.
6 Eat you not the bread of him that has an evil eye [conspiring wicked things], neither desire you his dainty meats [of deception]:
7 For as he thinks [evil things] in his heart [mind], so is he: Eat and drink, says he to you; but his heart is not with you [in his mind he seeks to trap and enslave you in hell].
8 The morsel which you have eaten shall you vomit up [consuming wickedness you shall repeat it], and lose your sweet words [replacing truth with their deceptions]. [These verses, speak of the “crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim” in power, who are spoken of in the beginning verses of Isaiah 28]
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Remove not the old landmark [the standard marking the boundary between good and evil]; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless [because there is no man to protect them from the thieves and robbers]:
11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with you.
12 Apply your heart unto instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.
13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if you beat him with the rod, he shall not die.
14 You shall beat him with the rod [this law from the mouth of God], and shall deliver his soul from hell.
15 My son, if your heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when your lips speak right things.
17 Let not your heart envy sinners [who speak words meant to deceive]: but be you in the fear of the LORD [obeying His warning to not listen to the wicked] all the day long.
18 For surely there is an end [’achariyth – these last days of the wicked who will not continue]; and your expectation [tiqvah – what you have hoped for] shall not be cut off [karath – shall not be as the covenant with death the wicked have made].
19 Hear you, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart [learn to choose] in the [good] way.
20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness [the sleep of ignorance] shall clothe a man with rags.
22 Hearken [shama’ – obey] unto your father [the truth, knowledge, and understanding of God] that begat you, and despise not your mother when she is old [wisdom that is Ancient of Days – the law of nature and nature’s God].
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begets a wise child shall have joy of [when He sees His mind manifested in] him.
25 Your father and your mother shall be glad, and she that bare you shall rejoice.
26 My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.
27 For a whore [the unfaithful who follow the drunken crown] is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increases the transgressors among men.
29 Who has woe? who has sorrow? who has contentions? who has babbling? who has wounds without cause? who has redness of eyes?
30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine [words meant to change minds for good but are corrupted by the poisonous additions of men who trespassed into things forbidden].
31 Look not you upon the wine when it is red, when it gives his color in the cup, when it moves itself aright.
32 At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder.
33 Your eyes shall behold strange [unfaithful] women [teachers], and your heart shall [by a mind corrupt by her] utter perverse things.
34 Yea, you shall be as he that lies down [to sleep] in the midst of the sea [with all humanity], or as he that lies [sleeps] upon the top of a mast [a precarious place from where the sleeping most certainly fall to their death].
35 They [these self-made afflictions] have stricken me, shall you say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake [and realize you were asleep]? I will seek it yet again [not understanding what you have experienced, being plainly shown but returning to listen to the same known liars who stupefied your mind].
All the following is from the post of 26 September 2022, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Therefore, thus says the LORD, If you return, then will I bring you again, and you shall stand before me: and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: let them return unto you; but return not you unto them.
The word rendered three times “return,” in Jeremiah 15:19 above, is the often discussed Hebrew word shuwb, meaning “to turn back (hence, away) transitively or intransitively, literally or figuratively (not necessarily with the idea of return to the starting point); generally to retreat; often adverbial, again.”
The return, sometimes to the start, others to the place of departure, is when the “precious” things weren’t mixed with the “vile,” and the time when the voice speaking them (precious things, pure, un-corrupted, treasures from heaven: full understanding) was (is “again”) received as the mouth of the LORD.
When the LORD says not to return to “them,” He is speaking of those who remain by choice with vile things: the creations (additions) of man, the waters below, still corrupting the precious. When He (the LORD’s describing His work) tells Jeremiah, “then will I bring you again,” it is also from the word shuwb. This work is the same work He repeats when telling Jeremiah not to return to the corrupt, but they must return to Him (risen in Jeremiah, who is raised, “standing,” with Him speaking His word).
The word rendered “before me,” is the many times used Hebrew word paniym, meaning face, and describes the presence of the LORD (face to face, as the cherubims of the mercy seat, in conversation in which His presence is manifested).
Earlier in the chapter (in Jeremiah 15:16) Jeremiah speaks of when he found the written word of God (his father found it and he ate it), which were (the treasures therein) neglected, abandoned, and lost, during the reign of Manasseh (meaning they forgot God, became estranged from Him, alienated, and became like the gowy).
This (removing – far away from the mind of God) occurred when the idol Baal (men as the gods of the world) was brought in and put in God’s place, and the creations of men, vile things, were mixed with (polluted) the precious, and the voice became the nonsensical voice of misleading men and not God’s.
The manner Jeremiah describes, as we’ve many times here discussed, is the same described by Ezekiel and John (in Revelation 5 & 10), when they ate the word and to them the book was unsealed (by the LORD’s presence manifested to them, then in them, when they loved and kept, guarded and protected, the word from the influence of vile men).
Before going further, we must examine the place to which we “return” “again:” the precious things, which are “taken forth,” and to others separated from additions (rightly dividing the waters above from the waters below, as bread broken and expanded upon, in the firmament, the exposition, called heaven, the place of full understanding).
The word rendered “take forth” is the Hebrew word yatsa’, the word last used by Jeremiah, in Jeremiah 52:31 (discussed from 2 Kings 25 in the previous post), telling of when Jehoiachin (the king Jehovah establishes) is “brought forth” from prison (of which the LORD now expressly speaks).
Jeremiah 52
31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach [evil man, leader of the rebellion against God] king of Babylon [of confusion] in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison.
32 And spoke kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
33 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.
34 And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
The words in verse 31 above rendered “prison” are bayith kele’, meaning house (family) and prison. In verse 33, the word “prison” is from kele’ only. The change from “prison” garments is a change in the kingship, from the throne over God’s people to over Babylon (the confusion that since then has guided the world). Since this time, recorded in the ending of Jeremiah, no God-Authorized (anointed – crowned, or coronated) king has been enthroned (waiting for Christ, who is at the Father’s right hand, until His enemies, by this revelation and presence, are made His footstool).
The word telling of when the next God-coronated king would come, as we’ve many times discussed, is the three-times used Hebrew word tsphiyrah, “a crown (as encircling the head); also a turn of affairs (i.e. mishap):–diadem, morning.” With Divine intention, it (tsphiyrah) is said to be from the word tsaphiyr, meaning “a he-goat [leader] (as prancing) [before, in the presence of, the herd];” from the word tsaphar, meaning “to skip about, i.e. return.”
As we’ve also seen, the word (tsphiyrah) has an affinity to the word tsaphan, in context meaning: to hide, cover over, reserve, and protect; and tsaphiyn, meaning, “a treasure (as hidden).”
It, tsphiyrah, first appears in Isaiah 28:5, rendered “diadem,” telling of this day, when the king is crowned with God’s glory, and is a tsphiyrah of “beauty,” unto the residue of His people.
The following, below this paragraph, ending with Psalms 9, is from the post of 4 August 2022. (Writing these same things, repeatedly, precept upon precept, line upon line, is “as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing [see Isaiah 28:21 below, which brings the rest], shall cast down [nuwach – bring rest] to the earth with the hand [[the LORD’s work]].)
Psalms 17
1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from your presence [[paniym]]; let your eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 You have proved my heart; you have visited [[paqad – as the Chief Shepher and Overseer of the earth]] me in the night [[in this time when ignorance covers the earth]]; you have tried me, and shall find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in your paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon you, for you will hear me, O God: incline your ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Show your marvelous [eye opening] lovingkindness, O you that saves by your right hand [the power in your work] them which put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye [’iyshown – by strengthening my eye [[as Your corrected pupil]]], hide me under the shadow of your wings [as you fly in the heavens, by the strength of your full understanding],
9 From [paniym – by manifesting Your presence with us, in us, against]] the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouths they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint [[paniym – manifesting Your presence against]] him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is your sword:
14 From men which are your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure [saba’]: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold your face [paniym – presence] in righteousness: I shall be satisfied [saba’], when I awake [quwts – the word rendered “watches” in Ezekiel 7:6, telling of the end [qets] come, awakening to the morning {tsphiyrah – of the crowning}], with your likeness.
The LORD’s “likeness” (tmuwnah – from miyn, meaning species) is what men awaken to, out of ignorance created by images of God created by misleaders among them (which God commanded, in the second commandment, they not do – Exodus 20:4 thru 6 – because He will visit when they do), abominations they put in God’s place, as spoken of in Ezekiel 7:9. The morning (from the three times used word tsphiyrah), the sun rise of the new day, which crowns the LORD, is described in Isaiah 28. There the crown is removed from the drunkards of Ephraim and the LORD himself is the crown (tsphiyrah – diadem) upon His people (in their minds).
The word tmuwnah deconstructs into – tm-uwn-ah: Tim-the light: strength-of Yahh, and in context, explains the final verse of Psalms 17 above.
Exodus 20
4 You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness [tmuwnah] of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting [paqad [[as the Chief Overseer of the earth]]] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
[[Numbers 12:8 With him [Moses] will I speak [my] mouth to in accord with his] mouth, even apparently [mar’eh – in the sight of all], and not in dark speeches [like to other prophets, in a vision or dream]; and the similitude [tmuwnah – the likeness to which we awaken] of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses [now Timothy, who is drawn from the dark waters below into the LORD’s presence, His marvelous light]?]]
[[Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee [Moses], and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken [shama’ – hear My voice and Obey] unto my words which he shall speak in my name [identity present], I will require [darash – to give reason why they have refused to hear and obey the voice of the LORD] it of him.]]
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 it 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, which brings the rest], shall cast down [nuwach – bring rest] 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 {blasphemy} 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] 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 [see Psalms 118:19 & 20 below].
7 But they 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, 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, and the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26 below]? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts [[[attiyq]] who now draw from the Ancient of Days: wisdom].
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 [[speaking truth, a foreign language to those who only know lies and deception, the creations, false images, men created]] and another tongue will he speak [truth they don’t understand] to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest [mnuwchah – resting place, in heaven, in the LORD’s presence, in full understanding] wherewith you may cause the weary to rest [nuwach]; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line 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 [mockers and blasphemers vilifying this word and work of God: the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost who the world doesn’t know – YET], 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 shall pass through, 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, and the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26 below].
[[20 For the bed is shorter than that a [sleeping] man can stretch himself on it [making the sleep uncomfortable for the lukewarm]: and the covering [of lies] narrower than that he can wrap [hide] himself in it.
21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim [as waters breaking forth upon David’s enemies], he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon [when His hail, His word frozen in heaven, is sent to destroy the enemies, the current crop of corrupt leaders], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act [righteousness: judgment and mercy – which to a wicked world are strange].
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: completion], even determined [charats] upon the whole earth.
23 Give you ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech [believe this report, hear it as it is, the Word of God from His mouth].]]
The above speaking of the word of God coming, to bring rest and refreshing, His teaching, precept upon precept, line upon line, is describing manna, the word from God’s mouth, by which, when filled (saba’) by it, man’s eyes are opened (he is awakened) and he comes from death to life.
Proverbs 30
15 The horse-leach has two daughters [sucking the life from those drinking their waters and never saying it is enough until all life is drained], crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied [saba’], yea, four things say not, It is enough [hown]:
16 The grave; and the barren [[’otser – prison]] womb; the earth that is not filled [saba’] with water; and the fire that says not, It is enough [hown].
Psalms 118
14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18 The LORD has chastened me sore: but he has not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise you: for you have heard me, and are become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in [opening] our eyes.
24 This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now [Hosanna], I beseech you, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech you, send now prosperity [[tsalach]].
26 Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
Deuteronomy 8
2 and you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
3 And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.
5 You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens [corrects] his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.
6 Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
10 When you have eaten and are full [saba’], then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.
11 Beware that you forget not the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command you this day:
12 Lest when you have eaten and are full [saba’], and have built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
14 Then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt [from the oppressors], from the house of bondage;
15 Who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the Rock of flint;
16 Who fed you in the wilderness with manna [the word from the mouth of God], which your fathers knew not, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end [[’achariyth]];
17 And you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.
18 But you shall remember the LORD your God: for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto your fathers, as it is this day.
19 And it shall be, if you do at all forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroyed before your face, so shall you perish; because you would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God [correcting His children].
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; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
3 Now is the end 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.
4 And my eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations 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 [none like it, as in Daniel 12:1], behold, is come. [Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble {tsarah – tribulation}, but he shall be saved out of it. 8 For it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: 9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.]
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 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.
25 Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor [shmuw’ah – teaching sound doctrine and reporting truth] shall be upon rumor [shmuw’ah – teaching and reporting, precept and line, 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.
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.
Psalms 9
1 I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvelous [eye-opening] works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
3 When my enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence [paniym].
4 For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
5 You have rebuked the heathen [[gowy – those who haven’t known You]], you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name forever and ever.
6 O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall endure forever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble [[tsarah – tribulation]].
10 And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 The heathen [[gowy]] are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations [[gowy]] that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation [[tiqvah]] of the poor [[those without worldly power or positions]] shall not perish forever.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen [[gowy]] be judged in your sight.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations [[gowy]] may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
