For thus says the LORD: “After seventy years are accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.”
12 – 15 July 2026
For thus says the LORD: “After seventy years are accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.”
To recap what we know, the above verse, Jeremiah 29:10, is speaking of the seventy years of desolation in Babylon referenced in Daniel 9:2, where it is called the desolation of Jerusalem (this same teaching that flows from the LORD). The time is then, in verse 24, called “seventy weeks” that are determined upon the holy city, which ends in the anointing of the Most Holy, who has, out of desolation, again made the city (God’s chosen people) holy.
Daniel says he learned about this time by “books,” from the Hebrew word cepher (the “evidence” spoken of in Jeremiah 32), of which he specifically mentions Jeremiah and the verse above. As we know, this is the pattern of what Ezekiel many times calls the wheel within a wheel, in which is life by understanding what is contained therein below the surface, by the LORD’s Spirit manifested thereby with us and in us.
Daniel’s reference tells us that, from Jeremiah 29, he understands the cause of the desolation, from which (in Daniel 9) he is repenting and crying out to the LORD for deliverance.
Daniel 9
1 In the first year of Darius [the LORD] the son of Ahasuerus [who chooses to remain silent and poor: unknown and without worldly power], of the seed of the Medes [those who remain in the middle, with the LORD in the valley between the mountains, in Azal], which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans [the LORD is the king who judges all those whose words mislead, deceive, and manipulate all people away from right order and He is from where it again flows]; [Zachariah, in Zachariah 14:5, uses the name Azal, meaning “reserved,” from ‘etsel, meaning “from 680 [‘atsel – meaning “to join; used only as a denominative from 681 {‘etsel}; to separate; hence, to select, refuse {evil}, contract {join by words}”] (in the sense of joining); a side; (as a preposition) near},” speaking of how far the valley of it extends. With Divine Intention {engineering} these words {Azal, ‘atsel, and ‘etsel} refer us to many uses {of ‘etsel} in Ezekiel 1 & 10, where it always describes the location of the wheel within a wheel, by which we are separated from corruption and returned to join with the LORD there in the conversation. Also see it used in Ezekiel 43:6 & 8.]
2 In the first [‘echad – unity] year of his reign [over the deceivers] I Daniel [by joining with the LORD] understood by books [cepher] the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came [as a wheel within a wheel] to Jeremiah the prophet [giving him understanding], that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem [this teaching that flowed from the LORD, the peace the LORD left with us, which was corrupted by those who created abominations they put in His place, in the place of the holy, and called by His name].
3 And I set my[self] face [paniym] unto [seeking the presence of] the LORD [‘Adonay – David’s LORD, the King of Kings] God [as did Jeremiah], to seek by prayer and supplications [in this conversation], with fasting [abstaining from corruption], and sackcloth [confessing and mourning our condition], and ashes [our ruin in this desolation]: [Jeremiah 50:24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were {are} not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have strived against the LORD {Jahovah}. 25 The LORD {Jehovah} has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the LORD {‘Adonay} GOD {Jehovih} of hosts {a man of war} in the land of the Chaldeans.]
4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O LORD, the great and dreadful God, keeping [shamar – guarding and protecting from corruption] the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep [shamar – those who, against corruption, guard and protect] his commandments;
5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from [mowtsa’] your precepts and from your judgments:
6 Neither have we hearkened unto your servants the prophets [whose words have been corrupted by those left with it and charged to protect and defend it], which [gave Your word as received] spoke in your name [identity] to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land [‘erets – the earth].
7 O LORD, righteousness [here and now] belongs unto you [alone], but unto us confusion [bosheth – shame that comes from idol worship] of faces [paniym – not knowing your presence when You manifested Yourself to us in this same conversation], as at this day; to the men of Judah [the apostate leaders of God’s people], and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem [and all the people at large, into who Judah should have flowed this teaching, and instead they teach their own creations, abomination with which they replaced the holy and undefiled], and unto all Israel [those who should reign on the earth as Your family], that are near [who haven’t separated themselves from You], and that are far off [now when the earth is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked and rebellious men in power, and all, except a very elect remnant, remains without You], through all the countries whither you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.
8 O LORD, to us belongs confusion [bosheth] of face [paniym], to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 To the LORD our God belong mercies and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against him;
10 Neither have we obeyed [shama’ – heard as His voice] the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set [nathan – gave] before [paniym – to manifest His presence to] us by his servants the prophets.
11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed [‘abar – rejected Your call to keep this Passover and the feast of unleavened bread, by which we come out of death and hell into life] your law [towrah – Your word that has flowed from the Rock], even by departing, that they might not obey [shama’] your voice [not heard as Yours]; therefore the curse is poured [flows] upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
12 And he has [here and now] confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven has not been done as has been done upon Jerusalem [to purge out their corruption, and reconcile us again to the LORD].
13 As it is written in the law [towrah – this word that flows] of Moses [a Rock that can be trusted], all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before [paniym – the presence of] the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand your truth.
14 Therefore has the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it [our iniquities as a snare] upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he does: for we obeyed not [shama’ – refused to hear it as] his voice.
15 And now, O LORD our God, that have brought your people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have gotten you renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 O LORD, according to all your righteousness, I beseech you, let your anger and your fury be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of your servant, and his supplications, and cause your face [paniym – Your presence] to shine [to send understanding and life] upon your sanctuary [the place where holiness should be] that is [by men’s abomination with which they replaced the holy, causing it to become] desolate, for the LORD’s sake.
18 O my God, incline your ear, and hear; open your eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by your name: for we do not present our supplications before you [paniym – in Your manifested presence] for our righteousness, but for your great mercies.
19 O LORD, hear; O LORD, forgive; O LORD, hearken and do; defer not, for your own sake, O my God: for your city and your people are called by your [family] name.
20 And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before [paniym – in the presence of] the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel [the warrior of God, who is the LORD of hosts, a man of war], whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning [the man, the first face of the unfolding presence of the LORD, in the wheel within a wheel], being caused to fly swiftly [as an eagle, the fourth and final face of the LORD’s unfolding presence manifested], touched me about the time of the evening oblation [minchah – the meat offering, the deep understanding that ends when the darkness comes].
22 And he informed [biyn – gave understanding to] me, and talked [dabar] with me [with word He received from the LORD], and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give you skill and understanding.
23 At the beginning of your supplications the commandment came forth [to rebuild Jerusalem], and I am come to show you [how it is built]; for you are greatly beloved: therefore understand [biyn] the matter [dabar], and consider [biyn] the vision [mar’eh – the appearance of Ezekiel 43:3, where the word appears four times, speaking of the unfolding presence of the LORD, which ends seeing Him after hearing Him].
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish [kala’ – stay: stop] the transgression, and to make an end [chatham] of sins, and to make reconciliation [kaphar] for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up [chatham – to unseal, ending, staying, stopping the wondering about] the vision and prophecy, and to anoint [mashach] the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem [the beginning of the manifestation of the LORD presence with us] unto the Messiah the Prince [the anointing of the most Holy as its end] shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street [the way into the city] shall be built again, and the wall [our protection, line and precept upon line and precept], even in troublous [tsowq] times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off [karath – by the covenant made], but not for [not from] himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined [charats].
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week [during which trust was tranferred to the insitution and away from Christ]: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the [necessary] sacrifice [declaring the LORD present with us, in us] and the oblation [mincheh – this deep understanding that comes from Him alone] to cease, and for the overspreading of [men’s] abominations [shiqquwts – that men created and put in the place of the holy] he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation [kalah – the full end, the finish: completion], and that determined [charats] shall be poured [as water from a Rock] upon the desolate.
The keyword in the title verse, dubiously rendered “after,” is peh, a word often used and most often rendered “mouth” or describing the cutting “edge” of a sword. Before looking at Jeremiah 29, where the cause is completely explained, we are directed to look at the once used word (in Deuteronomy 32:26, rendered “I would scatter them into corners”) it (peh) is said to be from, which is pe’ah, meaning “to puff, i.e. blow away:–scatter into corners.”
Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O you heavens [places where this understanding should be found], and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain [these words from the cloud in heaven], my speech shall distil as the dew [from the mouth of God, without corruption and now appearing on the earth beginning this new day], as the small rain upon the tender herb [new life springing from the earth], and as the showers upon the grass [causing the living to grown and cover it]:
3 Because I will [here] publish the name of the LORD: ascribe you greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock [from whom this word flows], his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do you thus requite [calling Him evil because you think you are good] the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he your father that has bought you? has he not made you, and established you?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds [gbuwlah] of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. [This verse refers to the “limit,” the uncrossable border now reached, as described in Ezekiel 48:28, and after in the Minor Prophets, using the word gbuwl.]
9 For the LORD’s portion [He inherits this generation in which He will dwell] is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye [the pupil, by His teaching, seeing as He sees].
11 As an eagle [the fourth face of the LORD’s unfolding presence manifested, which Ezekiel saw in the wheel within a wheel] stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, taketh them, bears them on her wings [carrying them until they fly as He does, in the heavens, with the strength of His full understanding received]:
12 So the LORD alone [here and now with me] did lead [nachah] him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and you did drink the pure blood of the grape [be which we learn to choose good and refuse the evil].
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat [God’s people prospered by refusing evil and choosing good], and kicked: you are waxen fat, you are grown thick, you are covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of [from where this butter and honey flows] his salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils [misleaders among God’s people, possessed by Satan, doing his work resisting and opposing this word of God], not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat you you are unmindful, and have forgotten God that formed you.
19 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 And he said, I will hide my face [paniym – My presence] from them, I will see what their end [‘achariyth – these last days] shall be: for they are a very froward generation [in whom all truth is twisted and perverted – “every table is filled with vomit and there is no place clean”], children in whom is no faith [none believe God is with us, as He is always].
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities [their worthless thoughts]: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation [here and now speaking to those who haven’t known Me, long-suffering, to reveal, unhide My presence in the flesh I’ve chosen].
22 For a fire is kindled in my anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell [wherein all now find themselves, a reality that exists even if it is, because all are dead, denied], and shall consume the [old and corrupt] earth with her increase, and set on fire [by] the foundations [the corrupt element] of the mountains [of all governments and powers].
23 I will heap [their own] mischiefs upon them; I will spend my [flaming] arrows upon them [this word heard from My mouth, from My people who’ve become My children by correction].
24 They shall be burnt with hunger [by not receiving this word and warning], and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts [the word of death from those without My Spirit] upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust [those slithering in the ruin of the earth they’ve destroyed].
25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26 I said, I would scatter them into corners [pe’ah – putting their trust is the same false rock from whose mouths flowed destruction, the same mouths that are the cause of the seventy years in desolation], I would make the remembrance of them [those who’ve refused this word from My mouth, to who it has become the edge of the sword by which they are slain] to cease from among men:
27 Were it not that I [for them] feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely [as destroyers and not builders], and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD has not done all this.
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end [‘achariyth – these last days]!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31 For their rock [the antichrists in whose words they trust] is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons [tanniyn – whose mouths are as serpents and whales, wide open devouring prey, humanity, into the belly of the earth, the belly of hell], and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me [reserved in the cloud for My use in this time of My just war here at Armageddon], and sealed up among my treasures [in heaven, My throne in the cloud, where full understanding is found]?
35 To me belongs vengeance and recompense [not as is the wrath of man’s destruction, but in righteousness, building a new heaven and earth, and saving those who receive it]; their [the wicked in power] foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left [with understanding, proving they are dead].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock [the many antichrists] in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver [natsal] out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O you nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land [‘adamah – the first generation of the new heaven and earth I Am creating], and to his people.
44 And Moses [Timothy] came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea [who is called Jesus] the [perpetual] son of Nun.
45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land [‘adamah – this first generation], whither you go over [‘abar – when you pass from death into life] Jordan [overcoming the river that flowed words of the dead into the sea, to all humanity, carrying all into death, in the dead sea] to possess it [making it flow these living waters that bring life to the earth again].
Jeremiah 29
1 Now these are the words [dabar] of the letter [cepher – among the books Daniel references] that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem [flowing this understanding] unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets [Daniel is one of these people], and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar [the lies of the false prophets and false teachers, which are the, hereafter described, cause of desolation of God’s people] had carried away captive from Jerusalem [the teaching that flowed from the Rock] to Babylon [the confusion that ruled the world these last seventy years, now turned into mass insanity where known delusions are said to be truth and reality];
2 (After that Jeconiah [Coniah – who Jehovah will establish] the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed [yatsa’ – the origin of mowtsa’] from Jerusalem; [this understanding, lost by following false teachers and false prophets])
3 By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan [which God has created and hidden in the Rock], and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah [which God has accomplished, perfected, completed – to be found as the inheritance from Jehovah], (whom Zedekiah [Jehovah’s righteousness – truth] king of Judah sent [this completed understanding] unto [the captivity, the hiding place in] Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king [the false prophets and false teachers] of Babylon) [the letters, cepher of verse 1] saying,
4 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;
5 Build you houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
6 Take you wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that you may be increased there, and not diminished.
7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall you have peace [not the false peace promised by the false prophets – which they say comes by bowing when they broadcast their creations].
8 For thus says the LORD of hosts, 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 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 [peh – by the edge of the sword, by rejecting this word from the LORD’s mouth, instead following the mouths of deceivers, you have been] seventy years be [now] accomplished [male’ – be fulfilled, completed] at Babylon I will visit [paqad – have visited you as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to] you, and perform [quwm – raised up from among the dead] my good word toward you [exposing the deception and misleading], in causing you to return to this place [New Heavenly Jerusalem, in MY presence and truth].
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 seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart [minds].
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, and from all the places whither I have driven you, says the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place [into New Heavenly Jerusalem] whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
15 Because you have said, The LORD has raised us up prophets in Babylon [not in old and corrupt Jerusalem];
16 Know that thus says the LORD of the king that sits upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwell in this city [that dwell in old and totally corrupt Jerusalem], and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity [in Babylon and beyond];
17 Thus says the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword [this word of God they refuse to hear as His voice], the famine [without this word], and the pestilence [the dis-ease that comes without His word], and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
18 And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth [beyond Babylon, into delusion and insanity, not recognizing the reality of the time and season], to be a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:
19 Because they have not hearkened to my words, says the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not hear, says the LORD.
20 Hear you therefore the word of the LORD, all you of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
21 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah [who say they are the voice of Jehovah], and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah [who say they are doing the work of God], which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he [their own lies and confusion] shall slay them before your eyes;
22 And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab [all who say they are speaking for the LORD and doing His work while doing their own], whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire [their own lies have caused];
23 Because they have committed villainy in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, says the LORD.
24 Thus shall you also speak to Shemaiah [who Jehovah has heard speaking falsely in His name] the Nehelamite [dreamer of dreams, creations of their sleeping minds, in the time of judgment], saying,
25 Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because you [false prophets and false teachers] have sent letters [cepher – paraphrased in verses 26 – 28] in your name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah [Jehovah has secreted] the son of Maaseiah [for His work] the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
26 The LORD has made you priest in the stead of Jehoiada [who Jehovah knows] the priest, that you should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad [taken captive in the insanity of this time], and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in prison, and in the stocks.
27 Now therefore why have you [Zephaniah] not reproved Jeremiah [Jehovah rising] of Anathoth [with the (LORD’s) answer], which makes himself a prophet to you?
28 For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon [our confusion], saying, This captivity is long: build you houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter [cepher] in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus says the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah has prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
32 Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, I will punish [paqad – manifest My presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth, against] Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, says the LORD; because he has taught rebellion against the LORD.
The word mowtsa’, discussed in detail in the previous post and mentioned above in Daniel 9:5 and Jeremiah 29:2, speaks of the departure from the LORD’s mouth, no longer receiving His word from those He has chosen and prepared, but instead listening to those who exalt their own word above His.
As we saw, the word also speaks of the return (or turning) to Him: receiving the word from their mouth (His chosen and prepared servants) as His, because it is in Spirit and Truth, which is the worship of Him in which He delights.
Pardon me, but I must once again digress. The calamity that has come upon this nation has been well defined and documented. It is the same as in Egypt, but much more intense. Here and now, it is hard bondage under godless communist rule that controls our economy and robs its people of their earnings.
The LORD has warned of this repeatedly, until now, when it is plainly seen before the eyes of all, yet still denied by those whose minds are programmed to reject reality and accept the narrative the lawless espouse. The evil intention that possesses them and their mouths seeks to perpetuate a state of confusion through a big lie. This lie can only be maintained until the people experience the results, which are the opposite of what was promised and championed. Therefore, its underlying true intention can no longer be hidden.
As for the people’s true best interest, the general welfare, which is our God-given right and the very purpose for which just governments are instituted, everything else is intentional diversion and confusion. Freeing the people from this hard bondage in communism should be the top priority of our just government.
Again, speaking of the departure from the LORD, the following passage, ending with Jeremiah 49, is from the post of 23 August 2025, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Daniel 12 [[speaking of the “number of years” Daniel understood, meantioned in Daniel 9:2]]
11 And from the time that the daily [necessary] sacrifice [declaring “thus says the LORD”] shall be taken away, and the abomination [men’s word’s and ways, as idols put in God’s place] that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days [the time, and one of the times].
12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [the other of the times – adding the time 1290 + (to the times 1290 + 1335) = the number of years since Abram’s {Abraham’s} deep sleep began and it was here revealed – see Genesis 15:12].
13 But go you your way till the end [qets – the full end, now when we are awakened] be: for you shall rest, and stand [‘amad – from the sleep in death be resurrected] in your lot at the end [qets – the full end] of the days [here spoken of].
This brings us to the understanding of this time of the great catastrophe, when the communists have power over the world and the world is oblivious to it. For those who don’t know it, the central banks, with the Federal Reserve at their head, are communist creations, as are their ideological apparatchiks, like Obama and his appointees, including Jerome Powell.
Those in these banking positions, along with the institutions designed by their ilk to seize communist control of economies, operate with total autonomy, lacking any checks or balances, all toward their communist ends (the destruction of capitalism, liberty, and private property).
Marx’s Communist Manifesto espoused the centralization of credit in the hands of the state by means of a central bank that controls the national currency and holds an exclusive (isolated and inaccessibly fortified) monopoly. The Fed was created by the 1913 Federal Reserve Act, signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson (a communist). It quickly became the key factor in causing, exacerbating, and prolonging the Great Depression of 1929, by reducing the money supply through high interest rates, failing to lower rates as the economy slowed or after the crash, and then keeping rates high for years. The Fed (Powell and his board, the politburo) is trying to take us there again, intentionally, knowing the way from its own past.
These people, Powell specifically, cannot and should not ever be trusted to act or speak in good faith. Their underlying intentions are deception, ungodly manipulation, and destruction.
The Greek word katastrophe (catastrophe) appears only twice in the Bible, rendered as “subverting” in 2 Timothy 2:14 and as “overthrow” in 2 Peter 2:6. Its meaning is given as “from 2690; an overturn (‘catastrophe’), i.e. demolition; figuratively, apostasy.” It comes from the word katastrepho, used twice, meaning “to turn upside down, i.e. upset,” and is rendered “overthrew” in Matthew 21:12 and Mark 11:15.
In the previous post, we saw the word strepho, meaning to turn or reverse, as the origin of strebloo, the word used to describe those who “wrestle” with the word of God to their own destruction (apoleia [[perdition]]).
The following, ending with Hebrews 2, is from the previous post.
Isaiah 28
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell [sheol – the habitation of the dead] 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 [for the new earth]: he that believes shall not make haste [chuwsh – when I hasten the end of the wicked]. [Isaiah 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one {tsa’iyr} a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten {chuwsh} it in his time {when the LORD is revealed by His everlasting light manifested in the flesh}.]
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail [this word frozen in heaven until now] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place [the lies of the wicked].
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell [sheol] shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge [of correction] shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down [as dung upon the dunghill] 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 [because of the filthy conversation of the wicked] only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – to hear this word as the voice of Jehovah, His arm revealed, and obey].
2 Peter 3
3 Knowing this first, that there shall [have] come in the last days scoffers [not believing the LORD is present with us, in us], walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep [into death], all things continue as they were from the beginning of the [old] creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God [this same word of God] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved [for this appointed time of the LORD’s just war against the darkness] unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is [always with us, hidden only in men’s ignorance] longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night [unknown in this time of men’s ignorance of God]; in the which the heavens [the corrupt understanding of men] shall pass away with a great noise [this voice of the LORD], and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men [[including communism]]] shall melt with fervent heat, the [old corrupt] 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 and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless, we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells [the LORD’s] righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot [[aspilos – without that which defiles the whole body]], and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].
[[The word rendered “unstable” (as water) in Genesis 49:4, when Jacob describes Reuben, who serves as the pattern of the “son of perdition,” is the once-used word pachaz. Reuben put himself in his father’s place, just as the sons of perdition do today by putting themselves in the LORD’s place. The word pachaz derives from an identical root used twice, meaning “to bubble up or froth (as boiling water),” and figuratively, “to be unimportant” or “light [worthless].” Zephaniah 3:4 Her prophets are light {pachaz} and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary {the holy things}, they have done violence to the law {towrah – this word from the Rock, the mouth of the LORD}. 5 The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning does he bring his judgment to light {understanding, and the only vexation is to hear the report as His voice}, he fails not; but the unjust know no shame.”]]
The [[Greek]] word rendered “unstable” is the twice-used word asteriktos, meaning “unfixed, i.e. (figuratively) vacillating,” as in not solid (elements as vapor [[from boiling of evaporating water]]).
The word rendered “wrestle” is the once-used word strebloo, meaning “to wrench, i.e. (specially), to torture (by the rack), but only figuratively, to pervert.” It (strebloo) is from the strepho, meaning to turn or reverse, as in turning the truth of God into a lie.
The word rendered “unlearned” is amathes, meaning “from 1 (as a negative particle) and 3129 [matheo – meaning to learn, and thereby understand]; ignorant.”
Hebrews 2
1 Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “diverse” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke (separated elements) through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding, all these divers elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection [hupotasso] the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place [Psalms 8:4 – 6] testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit him [as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to relay the foundations which evil man corrupted and destroyed]?
7 You made him [man] a little lower than the angels [in Hebrew, chacer’ elohiym: sent into flesh lacking the full understanding of God]; you [[[by]] giving Your understanding] crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him [man, in Christ] over the works of your hands:
8 You have put all things [the world, and the fulness thereof] in subjection [hupotasso] under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection [hupotasso] under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now [because man is yet without Christ, not led by His Spirit, and blind] we see not yet [that] all things [[[including the elements]] are] put under [hupotasso] him.
9 But we see Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation veiled in the flesh], who was made a little lower than the angels for [sent without understanding] the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor [the Father’s understanding revealed here and now]; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto [the same] glory, to make the captain [archegos – arche ago; the leader of the beginning, only used three other times, “a chief leader:–author, captain, prince”] of their salvation perfect through [long] sufferings [not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance, in which is salvation].
11 For both he that sanctifies [makes pure, removes corruption] and they who are sanctified are all of ONE [BODY]: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare your name [Jehovah’s identity, alive in me] unto my brethren, in the midst of the church [His ONE BODY] will I sing [repeat His words, exalting them above all others] praise unto you.
The two uses of katastrepho (describing the bringing down of those who have perverted the word of God and turned His truth into a lie) refer to the occasion when the LORD “overthrew” the tables of the “money changers.”
According to Thayer’s Greek Lexicon, the word kollubistēs means “a money-changer, banker.” It is derived from kollaō (“to glue, i.e., to stick or join with”) and the Hebrew word batsar (see Jeremiah 49:9 below). The latter means “to clip off,” specifically “to gather grapes,” and by extension “to be isolated” (i.e., inaccessible by height or fortification).
In context, kollubistēs refers to those who charge endless interest, leaving debtors perpetually stuck with excessive rates. In our time, this speaks of the Federal Reserve’s manipulations, conducted while shielded from meaningful oversight or checks. What is legally permitted is, in moral and ethical terms, a crime against all who are subject to it.
The modern system of commercial banking operates as follows: money is loaned with a long amortization schedule (where payments are calculated over many years), such that the initial years consist primarily of interest payments. These loans frequently include a “balloon” payment, meaning the remaining balance becomes due after only a few years. This forces the loan to be refinanced and re-amortized, incurring all the same fees and expenses as the original loan.
Jeremiah 49
8 Flee you, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan [double judgment – of perverted church and state institution]; for I will bring the calamity of Esau [the enemies mixed among us, who claim they are our friends and neighbors: brethren] upon him, the time that I will visit [paqad – appear as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to] him.
9 If grape-gatherers [batsar] come to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough [[[the communists and]] the bankers never have enough].
The word peh (the mouth and the edge of the sword), appears in Jeremiah 12:2, where, during Jeremiah’s complaining to the LORD about the wicked prospering, he speaks of it (the wickedness of those speaking against him and the LORD) as the fruit of their “mouth” (peh). Here he is speaking of God’s people who have departed from Him, who He describes as those speaking His word, while their minds are far from Him.
The word next appears in Jeremiah 15:19, where the LORD, giving us the pattern of cleansing from the old corruption, by eating instead His written word, which returns us to Him, and we thereby become His mouth.
The following, ending with Jeremiah 12, is from the post of 28 January 2022, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Zechariah 10
6 And I will strengthen [gabar – I will prevail in] the house of Judah [[among My elect remnant]], and I will save [be their salvation in] the house of Joseph [[Ephraim; God’s people at large in these last days, to whom, through the elect remnant, comes this second blessing]], and I will bring them again to place them [in Shiloh [[tranquility, “place of rest”]]]; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off [zanach [[as if they had not cast off that which is good]]]: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.
7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man [[of war]], and their heart shall rejoice as through wine [[this water by which their minds are changed and they now realize the LORD’s presence with us, in us]]: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.
8 I will hiss [draw their attention to Me] for them, and gather them [[into My ONE risen BODY]]; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
9 And I will sow [zara’] them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries [[merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed and determined]]; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt [[the double strait they are now in, oppressed by the institutions of church and state]], and gather them out of Assyria [[out of the hand of the communist who now rule them]]; and I will bring them into the land [[‘erets – the earth]] of Gilead [[where this “heap of testimony” is heard]] and Lebanon [[and purity is again seen on high]]; and place [[of wickedness in power]] shall not be found for them.
11 And he shall pass [[‘abar – come from death into life]] through the sea [[among all humanity at large]] with affliction, and shall smite the waves [[evil men among them swelled with pride]] in the sea, and all the deeps [[the corrupted understanding of which the wicked are proud]] of the river [[that flows into the sea]] shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria [the swelling hubris of the communists: Pope and President] shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt [the rule of the oppressors] shall depart away.
12 And I will strengthen them [gabar – I will prevail against the oppressors] in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name [[[His identity]] Shiloh – in true peace], says the LORD.
Zechariah 11
1 Open your doors, O Lebanon [[where purity should be seen on high]], that the fire may devour your cedars [[the falsely so-called upright men]].
2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O you oaks of Bashan [[whose fruit is a mind departed from the LORD]]; for the forest of the vintage [[batsowr – inaccessibility]] is come down.
3 There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds [[ra’ah – overseers who see for themselves, and not as the LORD sees]; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions [[the second face of the unfolding presence of the LORD]]; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
The word in verse 3 [[and Zechariah 10:11]] above, rendered “pride” is ga’own, the same rendered “swelling” in Jeremiah when speaking of this end of the ending, which the wicked, in hubris, think the LORD hasn’t seen, let alone prepared as a trap in which they are ignorantly snared [[and flailing]].
Jeremiah 12
1 Righteous are you, O LORD, when I plead with you: yet let me talk with you of your judgments: Wherefore does the way [derek] of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
2 You have planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: you are near in their mouth [[peh]], and far from [[rachowq – this time ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men in powers]] their reins. [[Isaiah 10:1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees {by which they rule}, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; 2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they {the communists} may rob the fatherless! 3 And what will you do in the day of visitation {pquddah – now when I have come as the Chief Overseer of he earth}, and in the desolation which shall come from far {merchaq – the appointed time the LORD decreed and determined}? to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory?]]
3 But you, O LORD, know me: you have seen me, and tried my heart toward you: pull them out [use me your servant, the least among the flock, to draw them out – see Jeremiah 49:20 [[the same as Jeremiah 50:44]] below] like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts [[those without the LORD’s Spirit, who claim they are speaking, like a lion, for Him and, like an ox, doing His work]] are consumed, and the birds [[like eagles, claiming the have full understanding]]; because they said, He shall not see our last end [[[‘achariyth – in these last days]] the end of their ending].
5 [And the LORD answered,] If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses [when I’ve made you my goodly horse in the battle]? and if in the land of peace, wherein you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in [the battle, when I [[in your flesh]] come up as lion against] the swelling [ga’own – pride that comes before their fall] of Jordan [[their words that carried all humanity in the “descent” into {the Dead Sea} death and hell]]?
6 For even your brethren [as Esau, are enemies mixed among you, destroying you while calling it peace and safety], and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; yea, they have called a multitude after you [[as did the Egyptians into the Red Sea]]: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto you [because their peace and safety are known lies from known liars].
7 I have forsaken my house, I have left my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies [misleading them into perdition [[from where, in death and hell, they are plucked out into life again, before they perish]]].
8 My heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest [[the so-called upright, ignorantly speaking My word against Me]]; it cries out [[howling]] against me: therefore have I hated it.
9 My heritage is unto me as a speckled bird [[spotted by corrupt understanding]], the birds [[with many opinions they endlessly argue are true]] round about are against her; come you, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
10 Many pastors [[who have left their first estate and now speak their own words, opinions with which they have replaced the holy and true]] have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion [[the inheritance, the written word, I left for My children]] under foot, they have [[by their abomination they put in My place]] made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Jeremiah 50
43 The king of Babylon [the false prophets whose lies, evil decrees, now rule the word] has heard [shama’ – the voice of Jehovah] the report [shema’ – the announcement of the LORD’s presence] of them [from the mouths of those who’ve heard and obeyed this voice of Jehovah], and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail [now knowing they have awakened the LORD’s people]. [Deuteronomy 2:24 Rise you up {quwm – in this resurrection}, take your journey {this course set before us}, and pass over {abar – from death into life} the river Arnon {the brawling waters, words with which the wicked war against the truth}: behold, I have given into your hand Sihon {the warriors} the Amorite {who, in pride, exalt their words above the LORD’s}, king of Heshbon {which is their stronghold}, and his land {‘erets – the old, totally corrupt, and ending earth}: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. 25 This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you upon the nations {all the earth that hasn’t know Me} that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear {shama’} report {shema’} of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you.]
44 Behold, he [the LORD with and in His people] shall come up like a lion [roaring His word] from [against] the swelling of Jordan [the proud whose word have carried all in the descent into death and hell] unto the habitation of the strong [stronghold]: but I will make them [the wicked in power] suddenly run away from her [the LORD’s people unto whom this expected end has come]: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint [paqad] over her [as the Chief Overseer]? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd [ra’ah – the seer seeing as I see] that will stand before me [paniym – manifesting, declaring, My presence with him, in him]?
45 Therefore hear [shama’ – and obey] you the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock [I Am] shall draw them out [into this light]: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46 At the noise [qowl – this voice of the LORD] of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved [ra’ash – shaken, awakening the dead to life, like dead bone coming together, as in Ezekiel 37:7], and the cry is heard [shama’ – is obeyed] among the nations [who now know the LORD].
Jeremiah 15
15 O LORD, you knowest: remember me, and visit me [paqad – send Your Holy Spirit, as Your Comforter, the Chief Overseer of the earth, to lead me into all truth], and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in your long-suffering: know that for your sake I have suffered rebuke.
16 Your words were found [given by You, here, to me in your appointed time], and I did eat them [as you commanded me]; and your word was unto me the joy [realizing Your presence in Your word] and rejoicing of my heart [when I realized You are alive in My mind, with me, in me]: for I [Timothy, in like manner as in Jeremiah: in whom Jehovah is risen, raised to life with Him] Am called by your name [as I Am, in me, Your identity is manifested], O LORD God of hosts [making me Your man of this just war to restore the right foundations of the earth].
17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers [of the reality of You alive in me speaking and working], nor rejoiced [the mockers not realizing your presence]; I sat alone because of your hand [the work You’re doing in me, through me]: for you have filled me with indignation [against those who say they know and speak for You as they mislead the world here in hell].
18 Why is my [people’s] pain perpetual, and my [people’s] wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? will you be altogether [like those who by their refusal cause this pain and wound] unto me as a liar, and as waters [as men’s words and ways] that fail?
19 Therefore thus says the LORD [to all His people], If you return [shuwb], then will I bring you again [shuwb], and you shall stand before me [paniym – in My presence with you, stand as My presence manifested in you]: and if you take forth the precious from the vile [receiving My word, discerning, choosing, good and refusing evil], you shall be as my mouth [peh – speaking this same word declaring it is My presence manifested]: let them [that hear My voice from you] return [shuwb] unto you; but return [shuwb] not you unto them [while they remain in corruption they’ve learned].
20 And I will make you unto this people a fenced brasen wall [of protection, like the serpent Moses raised in the wilderness]: and they [with their corruption] shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I Am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD.
21 And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem [all who receive this word as My voice] you out of the hand of the terrible [who with their words hold you here in death and hell].
Psalms 107
33 He turns rivers [of these men’s word] into a wilderness, and the water-springs [mowtsa’ – the departure from the LORD, where death flows] into dry ground [without this word of the LORD];
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He turns the wilderness into a standing water [the LORD’s word exalted above all other voices], and dry ground into water-springs [mowtsa’ – the return to the LORD, the Rock flowing His life-giving word].
The only time the word mowtsa’ appears in Jeremiah, in Jeremiah 17:16, it’s telling of the LORD’s words from the mouth of Jeremiah (like water poured from a Rock). He there also speaks of the departure and return to Him, from whom this life-giving water originates.
Jeremiah 17
12 A glorious high throne from the beginning [ri’shown – putting the LORD’s word first] is the place of our sanctuary. [John 1:1 In the beginning was {is} the Word, and the Word was {is} with God, and the Word was {is} God. 2 The same {Word here given} was {is} in the beginning with God.]
13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake you shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.
15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the Word of the LORD? let it come now [from the ROCK].
16 As for me, I have not hastened [‘uwts – to depart] from being a pastor to follow you [‘achar – in these last days]: neither have I desired the woeful day; you knowest: that which came [mowtsa’ – as a water-spring] out of [paniym – from Your presence] my lips was right before you.
17 Be not a terror unto [mchittah – the ruin of] me: you are my hope in the day of evil.
18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19 Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand [as My chosen prince] in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
20 And say unto them, Hear you the word of the LORD, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates [men’s mouths as the gates in and out of heaven and hell]:
21 Thus says the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden [men’s words that are the true burden] on the sabbath day [this interruption in which I, by this Word, change the course of all humanity], nor bring it [men’s words] in by the gates of Jerusalem;
22 Neither carry forth a burden [your opinions] out of your houses on the sabbath day [against this understanding now come], neither do you any [of your own] work, but hallow [qadash – keep clean] you the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
Psalms 121
1 I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help.
2 My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keeps Israel [those predestined to receive Him at His appearing] shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper: the LORD is your shade upon your right hand.
6 The sun [the church institutions] shall not smite you by day [when this understanding has come], nor the moon [civil government institutions] by night [when it is without this word].
7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
