22 – 29 June 2026
That all flesh may know that I, the LORD, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return anymore.
As we know, the “sword” is the word of God, drawn against those who refuse it, the same word that rescues and saves those who receive it. Following the above, Ezekiel 21:5, the LORD speaking of the sword’s coming, then tells the son of man to sigh with bitterness (expressing pain and grief) before the eyes of the people (‘ayin – as a fountain flowing these life-giving waters to them).
The LORD tells him that when the people ask why he is sighing, he is to say: “For the tidings [shmuw’ah – the LORD’s voice heard, the ‘report’ in which His arm {work} is revealed to all who receive it as His voice]; because it comes. And every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water. Behold, it comes, and shall be brought to pass, says the LORD GOD.”
In context, the above is what we saw in the previous post from 1 Corinthians 13, which speaks of when all things known in part (prophecies, tongues, and knowledge) have failed. What remains is faith, hope, and charity, and the greatest of these is charity (agape), giving this word of God as received from Him.
1 Corinthians 13
8 Charity [agape] never fails: but whether there be [partial] prophecies [to which men presumptuously add their own opinions calling them truth], they shall fail; whether there be tongues [the word of God spoken without understanding], they shall cease; whether there be [falsely so-called] knowledge, it shall vanish away [these are among the elements, stoicheion, that melt away with the old and corrupt heaven and earth].
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect [teleios – the completion, reassembling the elements that were before in parts] is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face [like the cherubim above the mercy seat, engaged in this conversation with the LORD who is present therein]: now I know in part; but then shall I know [Him] even as also I am known [by Him].
13 And now [that partial prophecies, tongues, and knowledge have failed] abides faith [that the LORD is present with us, in us], hope [in this expected end now come, when we see Him], charity [agape – giving this word as received from Him], these three; but the greatest of these is charity [agape].
1 Corinthians 14
20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be you children, but in understanding be men [teleios – be complete, which creates man].
2 Peter 3
10 But the day of the LORD will [unknown to those who are ignorant of Him and His manner] come as a thief in the night [the darkness of men ignorance, which now covers all the earth]; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise [this voice of His archangel, I Am], and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas of worldly men] shall melt with fervent heat [from the fires their ideas and ways have caused], the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation [giving His word as received] and godliness [manifesting His presence with us, in us],
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day [this time of light, understanding] of God, wherein the heavens [the places where understanding should be found and isn’t] being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas of worldly men] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise [of this end], look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells [His] righteousness.
1 Corinthians 4
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the LORD come [and reveals them in His time], who both will bring to light [understanding] the hidden things of darkness [men’s ignorance], and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts [minds]: and then shall every man have praise of God.
After the LORD (paraphrasing) tells Ezekiel to tell the people that everything except faith, hope, and charity will fail, he then, speaking of charity as the greatest, describes it as a sharpened and glittering sword, against which nothing will prevail, not even the rod (rule) of His son (the ignorance of the dead body of Christ).
Ezekiel 21
8 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 Son of man, prophesy [speak My word a given], and say, Thus says the LORD; Say, A sword [this word they refuse], a sword [this word refused] is sharpened [chadad – is made a fierce defense, the word as iron sharpening iron], and also furbished [marat – made bare before the eyes of all the world]:
10 It is sharpened [chadad – made sharp as a fierce defense] to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished [made bare] that it may glitter [shine this light of the LORD upon all]: should we then make mirth [no, but rather shouldn’t all “sigh” as the son of man has sighed, as commanded]? it contemns the rod [shebet – the scepter to rule] of my son [the dead body of Christ], as every tree [from which should flow this same word, but doesn’t, therefore the ax head, the iron, is laid to it].
11 And he has given it to be furbished [marat – made bare: revealed], that it may be handled: this sword [this word refused] is sharpened [chadad – by the iron laid to it, made a fierce defense]; and it is furbished [marat – made bare], to give it into the hand [against the work] of the slayer [who as Cain, slayed his brother, because his works were evil and his brother’s were good].
12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel [the failed leaders of God’s people]: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon your thigh.
13 Because it is a trial [by fire], and what if the sword [this word of God these men refuse] contemn even the rod [shebet – the scepter to rule, which has become barren]? it shall be no more [n’um – no longer uttered, falsely claiming, it is an oracle of God], says the LORD God.
14 You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite your hands together. and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men [the powers that be, who’ve led the world into death and hell, and hold it there by their always open mouths] that are slain, which enters into their privy chambers [chadar – the lies and falsehoods under which they think they are hidden, saying who sees us, against which come the chadad, this fierce defense].
15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates [their open mouths], that their heart [minds, evil thoughts] may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright [this condition is made clearly understood], it is wrapped up for the slaughter.
16 Go you one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever your face is set [paniym ya’ad – in this appointed time of My presence manifested, in this trial: judgment].
17 I will also smite my hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.
The word rendered “wrapped up” is the once used word ma’ot, from mah and ‘atah, asking and answering “what” and ‘atah, meaning “to wrap, i.e. cover, veil, cloth, or roll.” We know from the only two uses of ‘atah by Ezekiel (Ezekiel 24:17 & 22), it is referring to closing the mouth, or not. Above (in ma’ot) it is the slaughter, ending the worthless and misleading words of the powerful, when all understand that is what they are.
Ezekiel 24
15 Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
16 Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet neither shall you mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead [all God’s people at large, who will awaken], bind the tire [p’er – meaning to embellish; from pa’ar, meaning “to gleam, i.e. (causatively) embellish; figuratively, to boast; also to explain (i.e. make clear) oneself;” make known the thoughts] of your head upon you, and put on your shoes upon your feet [be prepared to move in the way the LORD is leading], and cover [‘atah] not your lips [open your mouths and speak this word as received], and eat not the [corrupt] bread [words] of men.
18 So I spoke unto the people in the morning [sending this light as the new day]: and at even [without this understanding left in them] my wife [Samaria and Jerusalem, the LORD’s adulterous people, who left Him to follow strangers and worship the abominations they created and put in His place] died; and I did in the morning [when I received this understanding, I did] as I was commanded.
19 And the people said unto me, Will you not tell us what these things are to us [but the LORD therein showing all the way], that you do so?
20 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21 Speak unto the house of Israel [all God’s people], Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left [naked and bare, unprotected against the elements: the corrupt ideas and ways of this evil generation] shall fall by the sword.
22 And you shall do [as you have seen the son of man do] as I have done: you shall not cover [‘atah] your lips [but you, like the son of man, shall speak this word of the LORD as received], nor eat the bread [leavened with the corruption] of men.
23 And your tires [p’er – you thought made known, clearly understood] shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet [as the preparation of the way we must go]: you shall not mourn nor weep [the crying and mourning of verse 17 above]; but you shall pine away [maqaq – as in Zechariah 14:12, telling of the melting away of the corrupt works, words, and vision of the wicked] for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
24 Thus Ezekiel [the son of man, strengthened by God] is unto you a sign: according to all that he has done shall you do: 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 [corrupt understanding], the joy of their glory [false worship, in which they falsely claim they experience God], the desire of their eyes [the things they think they have seen, which are creations of their imaginations], and that whereupon they set their [foundational] minds, their sons and their daughters,
26 That he that escapes [the corruption] 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: and you shall be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
The word ya’ad, above in Ezekiel 21:16, rendered “is set,” means “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).” It (ya’ad) refers us to its use in Amos 3:3, speaking of this appointed time.
Amos 3
1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel [God’s people who will rule and reign over the earth, with truth and justice as He rules in us and through us], against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt [out of oppression], saying,
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth [‘adamah – this last generation of the old and corrupt earth]: therefore I will punish [paqad – come as the Chief Overseer of the earth] you for all your iniquities.
3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed [ya’ad – this appointed time at Armageddon: the mountain of this rendezvous: this new government under God, sent at the agreed time]?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest [this word of the LORD, heard roaring from the second face, manifesting His presence against the self-described upright of our time], when he has no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken [lakad – caught up] nothing?
5 Can a bird [those in the heavens: places where understanding should be found and isn’t] fall in a snare [of the LORD’s appearing and kingdom] upon the earth, where no gin is [where no trap has been set] for him [the fouls of the air]? shall one take up [lakad – caught up] a snare from the earth [‘adamah – this last generation of the old and corrupt earth], and have taken [lakad – caught up] nothing at all?
6 Shall a trumpet [the shout of the LORD’s arch angel] be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD has not done it [brought the evil into the light, by the sound of His voice roaring like a trumpet]?
7 Surely the LORD God will do nothing [evil], but he reveals his secret [the mystery of this event the false prophets twisted into an off the planet rapture, which is instead a snare of their own ignorance in which they now find themselves caught up, as if by a thief coming unknow in the night: ignorance that covers all the earth] unto his servants the [authorized] prophets.
8 The lion [the LORD Himself unknown in the darkness, bringing the snare upon all the earth] has roared, who will not fear? the LORD God has spoken, who can but prophesy [repeat His word alone, as received, but instead all are roaring their own words, claiming they know something of value, and the way forward]?
9 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod [powerful – who are ravaging God’s people: draining their life and calling it the way to salvation], and in the palaces in the land of Egypt [those oppressing God’s people in the double strait, in tyranny of church and state institution, feeding themselves while all others, those without worldly power, get the crumbs that fall from their tables], and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria [the governments of church and state now worshipping idols put in the LORD’s place], and behold the great tumults [mhuwmah – meaning “from 1949; confusion or uproar;” literally saying, this is that uproar from the LORD] in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof [this confusion].
10 For they [being ignorant of good and evil] know not to do right, says the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their [worthless] palaces.
11 Therefore thus says the LORD God; An adversary [tsar – the evil army now mixed among, communists come to destroy all that refuses to be ruled by them, who are an existential threat, not only to us, but to all the world, through equality in mass misery, the false utopia we know is hell now blossoming before the eyes of all the world] there shall be even round about the land [‘erets – the earth]; and he shall bring down your strength from you, and your palaces shall be spoiled.
12 Thus says the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of [natsal – the equivalent of the Greek word harpazo, rendered “caught up” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, and, in Jude 1:23 “pulling” from the fires, hating the garment spotted {spilas} by the flesh; the Hebrew word also used in Zechariah 3:22 as the LORD rebukes Satan who is standing among the priesthood resisting (satan) the LORD’s cleansing them of their corruption, saying they are as brand plucked {natsal} from the fire] the mouth [as if speaking the LORD’s word] of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear [the remnant not yet swallowed, who hear Him speaking with their ear, and with their legs go His way]; so shall the children of Israel be taken out [natsal] that dwell in Samaria [among those worshipping idols men created, put in His place, and called by His name] in the corner of a bed [where all have slept in death], and in Damascus in a couch [where the LORD’s people’s work has stopped, and they are silent {dumb} in sorrow].
13 Hear you, and testify in the house of Jacob, says the LORD God, the God of hosts,
14 That in the day that I shall visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit [paqad] the altars of Bethel [houses called by My name, where you put your idols in My place]: and the horns [the power to rule] of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15 And I will smite the winter house [of darkness and ignorance, wherein the fires have always burned] with the summer house [of understanding, which is open so the wind, My Spirit, is always moving through it, upon the waters to bring this light from the darkened depths] and the houses of ivory [shen – those who with their mouths {teeth} have torn My people into pieces] shall perish, and the great [rab – many] houses shall have an end [with Only My ONE BODY remaining], says the LORD.
Zachariah 14
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem [the peace He is teaching]; Their [works of the] flesh shall consume [maqaq] away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes [what they say they’ve seen and understand] shall consume [maqaq] away in their holes, and their tongue [their word against the LORD] shall consume [maqaq] away in their mouth. [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.]
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult [mhuwmah – this is the uproar] from the LORD shall be among them; and they [the elect remnant] shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor [who are ignorant of the snare now upon all the earth], and his hand [doing this work of the LORD] shall rise up [exalting His word] against the hand [the corrupt thoughts and words] of his neighbor.
Friends, the LORD has often warned of the communists in our midst, and of the misleading of the opposition, the loudest voices, those in power, made feckless, worthless, unreliable, proud, and incorrigible by self-commendation, while saying to the LORD, stand by yourself and come not near us, because (in our own opinion) we are holier than you. And into the reality of the void of true opposition, rushes the evil that has always lurked waiting for such a (defenseless) time as this, which all have been groomed to deny Him. And God’s people refuse to be the sign of this time and His presence, instead choosing to deny Him, they refuse to speak as He has commanded.
When will you awaken sluggard? “In that day shall your mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and you shall speak, and be no more dumb: and you [as doves] shall be a sign [of the end reached] unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD [with you, in you].”
Proverbs 6
1 My son, if you be surety for [‘arab – have pledged to be a friend to] your friend [I Am], if you have stricken your hand [made an agreement with] with a stranger [that put your friendship in jeopardy],
2 You are snared with the words of your mouth, you are taken [lakad – caught in the snare] with the words of your mouth.
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver [natsal – like a brand plucked from the fire] yourself, when you are come into the hand of your friend [when you are confronted and must choose between your friend and a stranger]; go, humble yourself [subordinate your agreement with the stranger], and make sure [strengthen your friendship with] your friend.
4 Give not sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids [in matters such as this].
5 Deliver yourself as a roe from the hand of the hunter [the stranger sowing discord among friends], and as a bird from the hand of the fowler [yaquwsh – only used elsewhere as follows: Psalma 91:3 Surely he {the LORD in whom we trust} shall deliver {natsal} you from the snare of the fowler {yaquwsh}, and from the noisome pestilence {deber, meaning word intentional arranged to bring dicsciord. And Jeremiah 5:26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that sets snares {yaquwsh}; they set a trap, they catch {lakad} men. 27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.].
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard [‘atsel – sleeping and unaware]; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 Provides her meat in the summer [as in the summer house], and gathers her food in the harvest [now at hand].
9 How long will you sleep, O sluggard [‘atsel – and be unaware]? when will you arise [awaken] out of your sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands [remaining idle] to sleep:
11 So shall your poverty come as one that travels, and your want as an armed man.
12 A naughty [bliya’al – rejecting discipline] person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth [twisting and perverting truth].
13 He winks with his eyes [signaling evil intentions to his evil allies], he speaks with his feet [misleading those following his evil advice], he teaches with his [falsely accusing] fingers;
14 Frowardness is in his heart [the foundation of his mind is twisted and perverted truth], he devises mischief continually; he sows discord [madown – dividing those opposing his evil].
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly [pith’own]; suddenly [petha’] shall he be broken without remedy [marpe’].
16 These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him [nephesh – dividing His ONE BODY]:
17 A proud look [one], a lying tongue [two], and hands that shed innocent blood [three],
18 A heart that devises wicked imaginations [four], feet that be swift in running to mischief [five],
19 A false witness that speaks lies [six], and he that sows discord [mdan – from madown, evil judgment {that follows the other six}] among brethren [seven – the abomination].
20 My son, keep your father’s commandment [which are knowledge and understanding], and forsake not the law [wisdom] of your mother:
21 Bind them continually upon your heart [mind], and tie them about your neck [where your words are formed].
22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you.
Micah 2
1 Woe to them that devise [chashab] iniquity, and work evil upon their beds [where they sleep in death]! when the morning is light [when this understanding that brings the new day has come], they practice it [communism], because it is in the power of their hand [their works of deception].
2 And they [the communists] covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise [chashab – as in verse 1] an evil [of their own doing], from which [snare] you shall not remove your necks [controlling the word you speak]; neither shall you go haughtily: for this time is evil.
4 In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he has changed the portion [the well-ordered minds] of my people: how has he removed it [minds] from me! turning away he has divided our fields.
5 Therefore you shall have none that shall cast a cord by lot [none shall give a right assessment of the condition fallen away from the LORD] in the congregation [the dead body] of the LORD.
6 Prophesy you not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame [and therefore none shall know the time or the LORD’s presence with us, in us].
7 O you that are named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened [restricted by your ignorance and unbelief]? are these [ignorance and unbelief] his doings? do not my words do good to him that walks uprightly?
8 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy [against Me]: you pull off the robe with the garment [removing the protection against the corrupt elements of the wicked] from them that pass by [‘abar – going through the gate out of death and hell] securely [into safety] as men averse from [shuwb – returning to] war.
9 The women of my people have you cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have you taken away my glory forever.
10 Arise you, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto you of wine and of strong drink; he [a false teacher and deceiver] shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the [elect] remnant of Israel; I will put them together as [My ONE BODY] the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise [huwm – the tumult and uproar] by reason of the multitude of men.
13 The breaker [parats – the LORD who is breaking us out of hell, rescuing us from death] is come up [‘alah – has lifted Himself, exalting His voice, heard from His people, above all other voices] before [paniym – as His presence manifested to] them: they have broken up [parats – been freed], and have passed through [‘abar – from death into life] the gate [out of hell, overcoming the open mouth of the deceivers, false prophets, and false teachers], and are gone out by it: and their [the elect remnant’s] king shall pass [‘abar – rise from death to life] before [paniym – manifesting the LORD’s presence with us, in us, to] them, and the LORD on the head [ruling in the minds] of them [who will subordinate].
Friends, the LORD’s plan, now made quite obvious, is to, by His presence manifested with us, incrementally awaken His people from death, until all know He is alive in those through whom He speaks and works, completing this promised end: unity of the faith and mind in His ONE risen BODY, of which He is the head.
Revelation 6
1 And I saw when the Lamb [the one with the faces of four beasts manifesting the LORD’s presence, in this wheel within a wheel, willingly becoming the sacrifice necessary to speak His word while declaring it is Him present with us, in one as in all who become His children by receiving Him and His correction] opened one of the seals [of the closed book, biblion, Bible, here and now revealing the meaning], and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder [which is the voice of the LORD, the sound the light in the cloud, from where comes these reassemble elements of understanding], one of the four beasts [the Lamb as a man, the first face] saying, Come and see [as the LORD sees].
2 And I saw [as the LORD sees], and behold a white horse [upon which the LORD enters]: and he [the LORD in the man unknown to all, one He has strengthened and purified] that sat on him had a bow [the light rightly separated into colors, as a sign in the cloud]; and a crown was given unto him [this understanding given to Him first, making me the first begotten of many, raised from the dead]: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer [the false prophets and false teachers gathered against Him, antichrist who put themselves in his place as the revealer {opener} of the {sealed} word of God, who call this man the antichrist because He comes against them and their false Christ they preach and teach]. [Ask them and they will delusionally tell you this is the antichrist, who is truly legion, the spirit of Satan possessing them and all like them, one spirit resisting the LORD at His coming, as a thief in the night; the black, the darkened minds of all except the very elect remnant who receive the LORD and His correction].
3 And when he had opened the second seal [of the book], I heard the second beast say [as a lion roaring this word of God], Come and see [as the LORD sees].
4 And there went out another horse that was red [purrhos – pur rhonnumi and rhuomai; meaning delivering strange fire they call strength: understanding; only appearing elsewhere in Revelation 12:3 where it’s the color the dragon, speaking of Babylon: the confusion that now rules over all the world, and the dragon: actually serpents and whales, depicting the wide open mouths of men, with which they consume others]: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace [eirene] from the earth [this is the peace the LORD left with His people, understanding they were instructed to give to others as received from Him], and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
The second seal (of the Biblion) is what the LORD foretells in Matthew 10:34, where the passage speaks of when He is confessed, in which confession is life, which are removed.
Matthew 10
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered [kalupto – the subject here spoken of], that shall not be revealed [apokalupto – the cover taken away, in this revelation that ends the old and corrupt heaven and earth]; and hid [kruptos – kept secret, as He is here with us, in us], that shall not be known [ginosko – knowledge generated, as in creation, producing something from non-existence, parts into completion, elements assembled].
27 What I tell you in darkness [against the world’s ignorance covering and hiding the meaning in the sealed word of God], that speak you in light [freely giving this understanding as received]: and what you hear [and perceive is Him speaking] in the ear, that preach you upon the housetops [to where we have escaped the brawling women, the opinions forever argued by the corrupt churches].
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him [your own misled minds] which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell [where we now find ourselves, soul and body, at His judgment of the world: this promised decision point].
29 Are not two sparrows [strouthion – stroo tio, are not they, body and soul, there in hell, furnished by the price paid] sold [poleo – to the seller] for [by] a farthing [assarion – asson arnion – the Lamb who is very near, who has stabilized us when all else is shaking and falling]? and one of them [the souls of those that have trusted in the LORD and by faith have received Him] shall not fall [as will the house not built on the Rock who is Christ] on the ground [ge – this new earth, where they are not] without [aneu] your Father [who is near, with us, in the Lamb and us].
30 But the very hairs [thrix – all our ideas] of your head [building His minds in us, line upon line, precept upon precept, by which He furnished us] are all numbered [arithmeo – are enumerated by Him].
31 Fear you not therefore, you are of more value than [diaphero – bearing correction that has brought forth] many sparrows [many Lambs who will establish many].
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me [homologeo – speaking this same word declaring it is My presence] before men, him [in his confession, in] him will I confess also [homologeo – speaking according to this word] before [manifesting the presence of] my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I Am come to send peace on earth [that I did once and for all, and men corrupted and turned it into darkness]: I came not to send peace, but [this same word now as] a sword [upon those who reject it].
35 For I Am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household [who refuse this correction].
37 He that loves [phileo – cares about the opinions of] father or mother more [huper – putting them as gods above the LORD] than me is not worthy of [axios – representing, the re-presence of] me [seen again in them]: and he that loves [phileo – cares about the opinions of a] son or daughter more [huper – putting them as gods before the LORD] than me is not worthy of [axios – re-presenting] me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross [declaring My presence in My word], and follow after me [doing as I Am], is not worthy of [axios – representing] me.
39 He that [by diligent search finds the LORD] finds his life [understanding and light] shall lose it [the old and corrupt understanding of heaven, earth, and My manner therein]: and he that loses his [old and corrupt] life for my sake [manifesting, re-presenting My identity in My word repeated] shall find it.
40 He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him [Jehovah] that sent me [with this salvation message].
41 He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet [speaking My word] shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
42 And whosoever shall give to drink [of this life-giving message] unto one of these little ones [eager to learn truthful things] a cup of cold [life-giving] water only in the name of a disciple [here taught], truly I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
Revelation 6
5 And when he had opened the third seal [of the Bible], I heard the third beast [as an ox working in the earth] say, Come and see [as the LORD sees]. And I beheld, and lo a black [melas] horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand [corrupting all judgment and justice, calling good evil and evil good].
6 And I heard a voice [of the Lamb] in the midst of [mesos] the four beasts say [to the unjust and lawless], A measure [choinix – pour out the good seed from the LORD, meet for the Master’s use] of wheat for a penny [denarion – meaning “ten assess,” carrying this ordinal perfection that is therein], and three [the number of completion, this word given by many who’ve received it and the LORD’s presence] measures [choinix] of barley [krithe – with affinity to krites, meaning judgment] for a penny [denarion]; and see you hurt not [adikeo – do no injustice to] the oil and the wine [this anointing sent to change men’s minds].
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal [of the Bible], I heard the voice of the fourth beast [as an eagle risen, his word exalted above all other voices] say, Come and see [as the LORD sees].
8 And I looked [and saw as the LORD sees], and behold a pale [chloros – with affinity to chliaros, meaning lukewarm, referring to the Laodiceans, speaking of the lukewarm church] horse: and his name [identity is] that sat on him was Death [no longer confessing the LORD alive with us, in us], and Hell [was the state of mind of all who] followed with him. And power [to deceive with their old and corrupt words and ways] was given unto them over the fourth [the number denoting creative works, of the material] part of the earth, to kill with sword [by refusing to receive this word of the LORD and His correction], and with hunger [without it], and with death [without it], and with the beasts of the earth [men who are without the LORD’s Spirit, who deny Him and His correction]. [In Revelation 3:14, the LORD tells these people that this is the end {amen} and the “beginning of the creation of God,” which speaks of the ruin of the earth, when there is no man living, which is from where man is again created and given life. He, in Revelation 3:18, tells them, as above, to buy from Him this understanding, which will anoint their eyes so they will see as he sees. This comes after, in verse 17, he tells them of their ignorance of their condition here in death and hell.]
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal [of the Bible; the number of grace come, after the work of the four faces is completed upon the elect remnant], I saw [having now been given sight, seeing as the LORD sees] under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held [who here and now again find life]:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O LORD, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white [leukos – light, this understanding and life] robes [which is their protection against the corrupt elements of the earth] were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were [and find there live therein], should be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal [of the Bible; the number of man’s creation], and, lo [no longer called to see, because we have sight by the understanding He has given us, which is His mind and eyes], there was a great earthquake [seismos – the uproar and tumult caused by His words and the confession of Him again heard, to shake the wicked from all their seats of power]; and the sun [the church institutions] became black [melas – ignorance of the LORD is seen in the place where He should be known] as sackcloth [grieving of those held captive therein, who now realize their condition, which is a prerequisite of repentance] of hair [trichinos – turning away from the things that have grown from their darkened minds], and the moon [the institutions of civil governments] became as blood [without light, now seen to be draining life from those they govern];
13 And the stars [all God’s people] of heaven fell [realized to have left their fixed positions: this understanding left the places where it should be found] unto the [corruption of the] earth [realized by the LORD working among them unknown shaking the tree], even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs [gown in the winter and cast off by the winds and the new life of spring comes, in the appointed time], when she is shaken [seio – the origin of seismos] of a mighty wind [that is unseen and is only realized in its effects shaking and moving the things it touches].
14 And the heaven [the places where understanding should be found and isn’t, because it] departed as a scroll [biblion – Bible] when it is rolled together [the word of God sealed, unknown in these places, until now when it is reopened proving it was closed]; and every mountain [all places of power] and island [dry places without this word of the LORD] were moved out of their places [of corruption and darkness, the confusion {Babylon} that now rules the world, and produced mass insanity that believes communism ever worked, despite all the evidence of its failing throughout history, as does most temporary gratification gained by illegal practices that victimize the innocent].
15 And [all the manipulators who have demagogued their way to power,] the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks [the places of power, in which men put their trust], Fall on us, and hide us from the face [the presence] of him that sits on the throne [of heaven], and from the wrath of the Lamb [the man who is the necessary sacrifice of the LORD’s choosing]:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
The biblion mentioned above, speaking of when the book’s (Bible’s) deep (below the surface) meaning was sealed, is from the word biblos, which is said to mean, “properly, the inner bark of the papyrus plant, i.e. (by implication) a sheet or scroll of writing.” The (once known and now) hidden affinity is to the words bios, meaning “life, i.e. (literally) the present state of existence; by implication, the means of livelihood:–good, life, living;” and blastano, meaning “from blastos (a sprout); to germinate; by implication, to yield fruit:–bring forth, bud, spring (up).”
In these meanings, we understand the name Bible intentionally describes its identity as what “brings forth life;” which (we also know) is the wheel within the wheel, the written word sent forward to give understanding and life to all who receive it as the LORD’s voice, in His unfolding manifestation of Himself with us, to re-present Himself in us.
Below, Revelation 5 & 10 speak of its (the Bible’s) opening, the first chapter using the word biblion, the other uses bibliaridion, which is biblos compounded with a variation (more obvious in the original language) of the word diarpazo, from dia and harpazo, meaning “to seize asunder [into separated parts], i.e. plunder:– spoil.”
Matthew 12
28 But if I cast out devils [misleaders and deceivers among us doing Satan’s work] by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil [diarpazo] his goods, except he first bind the strong [understanding of] man? and then he will spoil [diarpazo] his house.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost [the LORD working unknown among us to accomplish these two tasks] shall not be forgiven unto men.
All the following is from the post of 15 November 2023, which, with that day’s additions in double brackets, is quoted from the posts of 23 August 2021 and 3 February 2021, with today’s addition in double curvy brackets.
Ezekiel 2
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak unto you.
2 And the spirit [[of the LORD]] entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke unto me.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed [apostatize] against me, even unto this very day.
4 For they are impudent children and stiff-hearted. I do send you unto them; and you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD God.
5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
6 And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [misleaders {{and deceivers}} who’ve overgrown the unattended garden] be with you, and you do dwell among scorpions [whose strike rots men’s minds]: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
7 And you shall speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
8 But you, son of man, hear what I say unto you; Be not you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth [not as the rebellious who reject My presence and refuse to open their mouth with this word], and eat that I give you.
9 And when I looked, behold, a hand [of God] was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll {{mgillah}} of a book {{cepher}} was therein;
10 And he spread it before me {{paras paniym – separated the understanding of My presence into parts}}; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein {{the separated part}} lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Revelation 10
1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face {{presence}} was as it were the sun [rising in a new day], and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 And he had in his hand a little book {{bibliaridion – the spoiled and sealed Bible}} open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roar [as strength returned {{the second face of the LORD’s unfolding presence manifested}}]: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices [the sound of the rightly divided word – the seven colors of the rainbow].
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not [because they are hidden until this time, when we return to the LORD and receive His light].
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And swore by him that lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished [as it is], as he has declared to his servants the prophets.
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book {{bibliaridion}} which is open in the hand {{work}} of the angel which stands upon the sea and upon the earth.
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book {{bibliaridion}}. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make your belly bitter, but it shall be in your mouth sweet as honey [the strength, from the carcass of the lion raised to life that comes from the rightly ordered word].
10 And I took the little book {{bibliaridion}} out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
11 And he said unto me, You must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
We’re told in Revelation 5 of the Lamb who was slain, rising as the Lion of the house of Judah, the king who prevails, in whose hand the book is opened. The chapter begins by describing the “lamentations, and mourning, and woe,” spoken of in Ezekiel 2:10, which is what Ezekiel sees written as he opens the book.
Revelation 5 {{here book is biblion}}
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy {{axios}} to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David [Joseph’s son], has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts {{man, lion, ox, and eagle}}, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes [the power, strength for the work, and the vision of God], which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy {{axios}} to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And have made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth [as the Israel of God].
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy {{axios}} is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever.
14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that lives forever and ever.
When, in Ezekiel 1:3, we’re told he is the son of Buzi, names telling us He (the son of man) is the One God strengthens (Ezekiel), who is the expression of God’s contempt (Buzi), it refers us to Jude, who quotes the Book of Enoch, speaking of the LORD’s coming.
Jude 1
12 These [upon whom the LORD pours His contempt] are spots {{spills}} in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead [upon which comes the second death], plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
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.”
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
17 But, beloved, remember you the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our LORD Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our LORD Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear [telling them they should fear the LORD, because His word is true], pulling [harpazo] them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted {{spilos}} by the flesh [the misleading and manipulative words and ideas of evil men mixed among them].
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
From the post of 3 February 2021, here are words from His hidden treasures, from Enoch.
Enoch 61 {{another book opened – see Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face [presence] the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books [biblion] were opened: and another book [biblion] was opened, which is the book of life [the words “the book of life,” are from one word, zoe; saying in the previously mention books is life]: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books [biblion], according to their works.}}
8 And the LORD of Spirits, set the Chosen One on the Throne of His Glory, and he will judge all the works of the Holy ones in Heaven above [[those sitting in the seats where understanding should be found]], and in the Balance he will [[with righteousness judge]] weigh their deeds.
9 And when he lifts his face [[exalts His presence]], to judge their secret ways, according to the word of the Name [[identity]] of the LORD of Spirits, and their path according to the way of the Righteous Judgement of the LORD Most High, they will all speak with one voice, and bless, and praise, and exalt, and glorify, the Name of the LORD of Spirits.
10 And He will call all the Host of the Heavens, and all the Holy Ones above, and the Host of the LORD, the Cherubim, and the Seraphim, and the Ophannim [those born into the new creation, by the wheel within the wheel], and all the Angels of Power, and all the Angels of the Principalities, and the Chosen One, and the other host, that is upon the dry ground, and over the water, on that day.
11 And they will raise one voice, and will bless, and praise, and glorify, and exalt, in the spirit of faith, and in the spirit of wisdom, and of patience, and in the spirit of mercy, and in the spirit of justice, and of peace, and in the spirit of goodness. And they will all say with one voice: “Blessed is He, and blessed be the Name of the LORD of Spirits, forever and ever.”
12 All Those Who Do Not Sleep, in Heaven above, will bless Him. All His Holy Ones, who are in Heaven, will bless Him, and all the chosen ones, who dwell in the Garden of Life, and every spirit able to bless, and praise and exalt, and hallow Your Holy Name. And all flesh, which to the limit of its power, will praise, and bless, Your Name forever and ever.
13 For great is the mercy of the LORD of Spirits, and He is long-suffering; and all His works, and all His forces, as many as He has made, He has revealed to the righteous, and the chosen, in the Name of the LORD of Spirits.
Enoch 62
1 And thus, The LORD commanded the kings, and the mighty, and the exalted, and those who dwell upon the Earth, and said: “Open your eyes, and raise your horns, if you are able, to acknowledge the Chosen One.”
2 And the LORD of Spirits, sat on His Throne of Glory, and the spirit of righteousness was poured out on him, and the word of his mouth kills all the sinners, and all the lawless, and they are destroyed in front of him.
3 And on that Day, all the kings, and the mighty, and the exalted, and those who possess the Earth, will stand up, and they will see, and recognize, how he sits on the Throne of His Glory. And the righteous are judged, in righteousness, in front of him, and no idle word is spoken in front of him.
4 And pain will come upon them, as upon a woman in labor, for whom giving birth is difficult, when her child enters the mouth of the womb, and she has difficulty giving birth [[refusing to speak this word as commanded]].
5 And one half of them, will look at the other, and they will be terrified, and will cast down their faces, and pain will take hold of them, when they see that Son of Man sitting on the Throne of His Glory.
6 And the mighty kings, and all those who possess the Earth, will praise, and bless, and exalt, Him who rules everything that is hidden [[in the LORD’s armory, His treasure house]].
7 For, from the beginning, that Son of Man was hidden, and the Most High kept him in the presence of His power, and revealed him only to the Chosen.
8 And the community, of the Holy and the Chosen, will be sown, and all the Chosen will stand before him, on that day.
9 And all the mighty kings, and the exalted, and those who rule the dry ground, will fall down before him, on their faces, and worship; and they will set their hopes on that Son of Man, and will entreat him, and will petition for mercy from him.
10 But the LORD of Spirits will then so press them, that they will hasten to go out from before him, and their faces will be filled with shame and the darkness will grow deeper on their faces.
11 And the Angels of Punishment will take them, so that they may repay them for the wrong that they did to His children, and to His chosen ones.
12 And they will become a spectacle, to the righteous, and to His chosen ones. They will rejoice over them, for the anger of the LORD of Spirits will rest upon them, and the sword of the LORD of Spirits will be drunk with them.
13 And the righteous, and the chosen, will be saved on that Day, and they will never see the faces of the sinners, and the lawless, from then on.
14 And the LORD of Spirits will remain over them, and with that Son of Man they will dwell, and eat, and lie down, and rise up, forever and ever.
15 And the righteous and chosen will have risen from the earth, and will have ceased to cast down their faces, and will have put on the Garment of Life.
16 And this will be a Garment of Life from the LORD of Spirits; and your garments will not wear out, and your glory will not fail, in front of the LORD of Spirits.
Enoch 63
1 In those days, the mighty kings, who possess the dry ground, will entreat the Angels of His Punishment, to whom they have been handed over, so that they might give them a little respite. And so that they might fall down, and worship, in front of the LORD of Spirits, and confess their sins in front of Him.
2 And they will bless, and praise, the LORD of Spirits, and say: “Blessed be the LORD of Spirits, and the LORD of Kings, the LORD of the Mighty, and the LORD of the Rich, and the LORD of Glory, and the LORD of Wisdom!
3 And everything secret is clear, in front of You, and Your power is for all generations, and Your glory is forever and ever. Deep, and without number, are all Your secrets, and Your righteousness is beyond reckoning.
4 Now, we realize that we ought to praise, and bless, the LORD of Kings, and the one who is King over all Kings.”
5 And they will say: “Would that we might be given a respite, so that we might praise, and thank, and bless Him, and make our confession in front of His Glory.
6 And now, we long for a respite, but do not find it, we are driven off and do not obtain it; and the light [[understanding]] has passed away from before us, and darkness [[ignorance hiding these treasures]] will be our dwelling, forever and ever.
7 For we have not made our confession before Him, and we have not praised the name of the LORD of Kings, and we have not praised the LORD for all His works, but our hopes have been on the scepter of our kingdom [[the confused and insane in power]], and of our [[own]] glory.
8 And, on the day of our affliction and distress, He does not save us, and we find no respite to make our confession, that our LORD is faithful in all His doings, and in all His judgments, and His justice, and that His judgments show no respect for persons.
9 And we pass away from before Him, because all our works, and all our sins, have been counted exactly.”
10 Then they will say to them: “Our souls are satiated with possessions, gained through iniquity, but they do not prevent our going down into the flames of the torment of Sheol [[hell]].”
11 And after this, their faces will be filled with darkness and shame, in front of that Son of Man, and they will be driven away from him. And, the sword will dwell among them, in front of him.
12 And thus says the LORD of Spirits: “This is the Law, and the judgment for the mighty, and the kings, and the exalted, and for those who possess the dry ground [[without this word of God they refuse]], in front of the LORD of Spirits.”
Enoch 64
1 And I saw other figures hidden in that place.
2 I heard the voice of the Angel saying: “These are the [[evil]] Angels who came down from Heaven, onto the Earth [[and put themselves in the LORD’s place]], and revealed what is secret to the sons of men [[making them blind and dumb]], and led astray the sons of men, so that they committed sin.”
Why is Enoch not in the Bible? Hebrews 11:5 says, “By faith Enoch was translated [here] that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him.”
Psalms 18
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a Rock save our God?
32 It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me upon my high places.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has made me great.
36 You have enlarged my steps [tsa’ad – the path to life] under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 For you have girded me with strength unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.
48 He delivers me from my enemies: yea, you lifted me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto your name.
50 Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
Psalms 24
1 The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your face {{His presence revealed with you and in you}}, O Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; even lift them up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts [[a man of just war, Whose mercy endures forever]], he is the King of glory. Selah.
