Behold, he put no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinks iniquity like water?
In the above, Job 15:15 & 16, the LORD begins a more comprehensive expansion (firmament) of our understanding of Job’s suffering through the false accusations of His three so-called friends: through whom Satan works against Job (God’s hated people).
As we know, these (falsely so-called) friends are the leviathan (rendered “mourning” in Job 3:8, speaking of the groanings the known dead: familiar spirits) being raised up, after the LORD allows it to a degree, as Satan’s presence manifested in (Levi, the priesthood) their false accusation based on their corrupted (partial, contextually inaccurate) interpretation of God’s word.
As we know, Job (God’s hated people, in this time in like pattern), whose sin is his also partial understanding of the LORD, then blames Him, justifying his own righteousness, not knowing, and therefore not speaking of, His true manner: teaching us, through a narrated experience, to choose good (God, Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh He chooses) and refuse evil (the devils, those possessed by and working for Satan).
The point of both the above events is to reveal (draw into the light) these short comings (sins: missing the mark aimed at), and, upon their realization and repentance, correct both (as many as receive Him, and choose His way) back into “good” standing. In Job, in a pattern, his correction comes from the One named Elihu, meaning He is God (working and speaking unknown in the flesh) who corrects (further enlightens) Job, by which he first realizes he is hearing the LORD, and then, in the completion of his understanding, he see Him and stops his own words.
The body of the book is the pattern of the great paradox, God’s now hated people, in a state of darkness (ignorance of the LORD presence) created by those (mis-leaders, missing the mark) they have followed into it (spiritual death, in the flesh, alive in hell), where they are hidden (in their own ignorance) until this season of resurrection. The paradox is continuing to look to the same people who’ve led them into it, to lead them out by the same incomplete and incorrect interpretations.
These men, who claim they are our friends and brethren while they attack and blame us for the condition they themselves have brough upon us all, are those the LORD speaks of, in Job 38:2, and later as “proud waves” that are here stopped. There He makes Himself openly known to Job, speaking from the whirlwind (the wheel within a wheel, after manifesting His presence in the four faces seen in the manner of Elihu), telling him (Job) to stop listening to those “that darkened counsel by words without knowledge.”
The title verses are spoken by Eliphaz the Temanite, speaking of a sub-group within the priesthood, the name defining their identity as those whose god is gold (wealth), who sit as wise men, the experts who should know the LORD and only know the tattered remains (like the girdle Jeremiah hid and later recovered from its burying place near the Euphrates) of the word left to them with the charge (they abandoned) to protect and defend it against such corruption. He (Eliphaz) is responding to what Job said in the previous chapter (14).
In Job 40:15 the LORD speaks of Behemoth, a once used word, describing all God’s people as one body (including Job and his three friends), still sleeping in silence (not speaking God’s word), from the word bhemah, which is a dumb (speechless) beast (without the LORD’s Spirit). It (Behemoth) is transliterated (in the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary) as bhemowth, a compounding of bhem, from bohuw, and ‘owth.
As we know, the first, bohuw, means “a vacuity, i.e. (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin,” and is the only used twice, rendered “void,” and once, rendered “emptiness,” all speaking of what the earth became (hayah) under these men in this condition. The word ‘owth, means, “a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.:–mark, miracle, (en-)sign, token.”
Job 21
13 They [the wicked who are prospering by doing evil] spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave [sh’owl – hell unaware].
14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of your ways [into life and heaven].
15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him [following His commands]? and what profit [in worldly wealth] should we have, if we pray unto him [asking Him for it]?
16 Lo, their good is not in their hand [work]: the counsel of the wicked is far from me [rachaq – in this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power].
26 They shall lie down alike in the dust [the ruin of the earth], and the worms [that animate their dead bodies] shall cover them.
27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which you wrongfully imagine against me.
28 For you say, Where is the house of the prince [those the LORD will raise to the throne] and where are the dwelling places [remaining in hell] of the wicked?
29 Have you not asked them that go by the [‘abar – the LORD’s] way [out of death into life]? and do you not know their tokens [’owth – the outward signs, their manner, revealing their identity],
30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath [this time of light which the wicked refuse].
31 Who shall declare his way to his face [paniym – the LORD’s presence manifested against them]? and who shall repay him what he has done [bringing their own evil ways upon them]?
32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave [the belly of the earth], and shall remain in the tomb [among the dead, as animated flesh].
Job 14
4 [Job asking] Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one [man].
5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with you, you have appointed [the time spoken of in verse 14 below] his bounds [the shore] that he [as proud waves] cannot pass;
6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish [ratsah – meaning “to be pleased with; specifically, to satisfy a debt,” speaking of the necessary sacrifice completed], as a hireling [working in the earth], his day [when this understanding returns].
7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will [from its root in a dry ground] sprout again, and that the tender branch [as in Isaiah 53:2, what is witnessed; the LORD’s arm reveled to those who’ve believed this report is His voice heard] thereof will not cease.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9 Yet through the scent [the perception] of water [the LORD‘s word from heaven] it will bud [as did Aaron’s rod, showing the LORD chose him], and bring forth boughs like a plant. [Numbers 17:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring {shuwb – return} Aaron’s rod again before {paniym – revealing My presence manifested in} the testimony {this conversation with you alone}, to be kept {charging it be guarded against corruption} for a token {‘owth} against the rebels; and you shall quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.}
10 But [continuing to murmur against the LORD and His chosen] man dies, and wastes away: yea, man gives up the ghost, and where is he?
11 As the waters [the word of God understood] fail from the sea, and the flood [of his scourging correction] decays and dries up:
12 So man lieth down [in death’s sleep], and rises not: till the heavens be no more {when all understanding has been removed from the earth], they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13 O that you would [in this ways] hide [tsaphan – as in Job 21:16] me in the grave, that you would keep me secret, until your wrath be past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me! [Job 21:16 God lays up {tsaphan – hides} his {the wicked’s} iniquity for his children: he rewards him {with their hidden iniquity}, and he shall know it {when it is revealed in their children’s destruction}.]
14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change [into new flesh, in which my sleeping soul] come[s].
15 You shall call, and I will answer you [speaking YOUR word as You have commanded]: you will have a desire to the work of your hands [done in me and through me] and I will answer you.
16 For now you [LORD] number [assess] my steps [into self-destruction]: do you not watch over my [progressive decline into greater] sin?
17 My transgression [the iniquity mentioned above] is sealed up [as a closed book] in a bag, and you sew up [to hide] my iniquity [from the children it afflicts].
18 And surely [as a result] the mountains [the corrupt governments institutions of church and state] falling comes to nought, and the rock [from whom the words of corruption flow, in which the people ignorantly trust] is removed out of his place.
19 The [LORD’s life-giving] waters wear [shachaq – beat into dust and ruin] the stones: you wash away the things [the wicked in power claiming they will, with the same old corrupted ideas, rebuild what they destroyed] which grow out of the dust of the earth; and you destroy the hope of man [who say they will, without the LORD, rebuild].
20 You prevail [taqaph – a three-time used word, which, in Job15:24, comes by the darkness, trouble, and affliction, as a king prepared for battle] forever against him, and he passes [halak – goes his way]: you change [shanah – transmute, duplicate] his countenance [paniym – his presence in his sons], and send him away [into ignorance of himself].
21 His sons come to honor [kabad – carry the burden of his hardened mind], and he knows it not; and they are [by it] brought low [tsa’ar – these are the “little ones” spoken of in Zechariah 13:7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, says the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn my hand upon the little ones.], but he perceives [biyn – understood] it not of them.
22 But his flesh upon him [because of the iniquity the father hid in his son] shall have pain, and his soul within him shall [for reasons unknown] mourn.
Job 15
1 Then answered Eliphaz [his god is gold: wealth] the Temanite [in the place of wise men], and said [projecting, as the false accusers now falsely accuse this word of God],
2 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind [and devour the work of God with open mouth]?
3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4 Yea, you cast off [the] fear [of God], and restrain prayer [siychah – contemplation of] before [paniym – the presence of] God.
5 For your mouth utters your iniquity [evil misleading], and you choose [to follow] the tongue of the crafty [‘aruwm – the “subtlety” of the serpent in Genesis 3:1].
6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I: yea, your own lips testify against you.
7 Are you the first man that was born? or were you made before the hills?
8 Have you heard the secret of God? and do you restrain wisdom to yourself?
9 What know you, that we know not? what understand you, which is not in us?
15 Behold, he [the LORD] puts no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens [the places where understanding should be found and isn’t] are not clean in his sight.
16 How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinks iniquity like water?
17 I will show you, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20 The wicked man travails with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21 A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22 He believes not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
23 He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knows that the day of darkness is ready [already] at his hand.
24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail [taqaph] against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25 For he stretches out his hand against God [as does Satan in the accusers], and strengthens himself against the Almighty.
30 He shall not depart out of darkness [ignorance]; the flame [of the fires they created] shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth [the evil spirit in his words] shall he go away.
31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity [his worthless thoughts]: for vanity [worthlessness] shall be his recompense.
The following, ending with Psalms 3, is from the post of 7 April of this year (2026), with today’s additions in double brackets.
Habakkuk 3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk [taken by {God’s} hand] the prophet upon Shigionoth [to those who have strayed into error].
2 O LORD, I have heard your speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive [quicken – bring to life] your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known [give us understanding – knowledge]; in wrath remember mercy [and it is so, My wrath is understanding, and those who forsake it reject mercy].
3 God came from Teman [the right hand, power from looking toward the sun rise for light], and the Holy One from mount Paran [the cloud, from where understanding is given {explained, made clear} by the light seen in it – see Numbers 10:11 thru 14 & Job 37:21 & 38:34 thru 38]. Selah [think about it]. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
4 And his brightness was as the light [understanding sent]; he had horns [rays of light] coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5 Before him [[paniym – in His presence]] went the pestilence [[deber – the disordered word of men were revealed]], and burning coals went forth at his feet.
6 He stood, and measured [[rightly assessed the condition of]] the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder [[nathar – set free]] the nations; and the everlasting mountains [[the corrupt governments]] were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow [all the place that have raised themselves up from the earth]: his ways are everlasting.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan [the houses of darkness] in affliction: and the curtains [separation] of the land of Midian [strife] did tremble [agitation as the product].
8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers [the means by which the waters of death flowed]? was your anger against the rivers? was your wrath against the sea [the people who became agitated by what flowed into them], that you did ride upon your horses [God’s people become His goodly horse in the battle – see Zechariah 10:3 for who the anger is against [[the idols who have spoken worthless things, the diviners who have divined lies, and the shepherds who are misleaders: he goats: devils]]] and your chariots of salvation [the product of the LORD’s power raised in His people]?
9 Your bow was made quite naked [see Isaiah 52:10], according to the oaths of the tribes [see Genesis 49:8 thru 12, & 22 thru 26], even your word. Selah [think about it]. You did cleave the earth with rivers [this rightly divided pure word of God, flowing directly from Him].
10 The mountains [the high places of men – see Ephesians 6:12] saw you, and they trembled: the [these] overflowing of the water passed by [‘abar – Passed over raising them from death into life]: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands [exalting His handiwork, the light coming from His hand, where is His power] on high.
11 The sun and moon [church and civil government] stood still in their habitation: at the light [understanding] of your arrows [Ephraim – God’s children in this generation] they went, and at the shining of your glittering spear [this word coming from the hand of God].
12 You did march through the land in indignation, you did thresh the heathen in anger.
13 You went forth for the salvation of your people, even for salvation with your anointed [I am]; you wounded the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck [[realized in the words formed based on their corruption]]. Selah [think about it].
14 You did strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
15 You did walk through the sea with your horses, through the heap of great waters.
16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he comes up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops [the enemy that has come and why there is no life or fruit, and why the herd is scattered].
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon my high places.
Psalms 3
1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But you, O LORD, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for you have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongs unto the LORD: your blessing is upon your people. Selah.

The following is from the post of 4 December 2023, with today’s additions in double brackets.
So, the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning:
The word above, from Job 42:12, rendered “latter end” is ‘achariyth, a well-discussed word we know describes these last days of darkness, when we, the children of Abraham by the LORD’s promise, are as many as the stars of heaven and as innumerable as the sands of the seas. It speaks of this as the end of the now wholly corrupt earth age, “beginning” in desolation (in Babylon), the time when mass insanity is in control of the earth by decreed delusions and brings its culmination (self-consummation).
As we know, in the similitude of Job, this culmination comes after Job sees the LORD’s presence in his experience, the purpose of which is described in this chapter: to restore pure, uncorrupted thinking in Job and his three friends (foils through whom Satan worked as his accuser). This restoration (rest) is the double blessing that comes when Job (in verse 10 [[of Job 42]]) prays for his three friends, as the LORD (in verse 8) commands.
The word rendered “beginning” (in desolation), is the Hebrew word re’shiyth, meaning “the first, in place, time, order or rank (specifically, a first-fruit).” It is speaking of the first fruit, of small stature (in obscurity), that explodes into the chain reaction of reproduction after its own kind.
Suffer me for a moment (again) while I digress: Friends, the wicked in power, the false accusers (dogs barking in the darkness) incorrectly believe they can stop what is unfolding. They, relying on their own fictitious interpretation, knowing what is happening in me is supernatural, think I am going to ascend to some earthly throne and, from there, rule the world as their mythical antichrist. I will not. They have no idea (because they choose to remain in the ignorance of their own darkness) that I already rule the world, already possess all creation, with all power over heaven and earth. I Am Where I Am supposed to be, with all I need to accomplish the mission on which the LORD, my Father, sent me, and He will not, cannot, fail. And I seek no glory of my own, only His Glory. Amen!
This beginning and end are spoken of one other time in Job, in Job 8:7, when one of Job’s accusers is speaking of knowledge he has, while ignorant that he, by it, is condemning himself. This accuser is Bildad the Shuhite: names the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon says mean he is “confused (by mingling) love” with his “wealth.”
Job 8
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 How long will you speak these things? and how long shall the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
3 Does God pervert judgment? or does the Almighty pervert justice?
4 If your children have sinned against him, and he has cast them away for their transgression;
5 If you would seek unto God betimes [early: first, in the beginning], and make your supplication to the Almighty;
6 If you wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous [at the end when darkness leaves].
7 Though your beginning [re’shiyth] was small, yet your latter end [‘achariyth] should greatly increase.
8 For enquire, I pray you, of the former age, and prepare yourself to the search of their fathers:
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow [gendering to what is unknown until the LORD reveals it ending the old and beginning the new age]:)
10 Shall not they teach you, and tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
11 Can the rush grow up without mire [as the earth has in muddied understanding]? can the flag grow without water [as the earth does now by this word of God]?
12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness [bringing new life to it], and not cut down, it [the old and mired] withers before any other herb.
13 So are the paths [the ways of corruption] of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope [the end they have created in their own imaginations] shall perish:
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web [brushed away by those who’ve encountered it in the darkness].
15 He shall lean upon his house [without this firm foundation, not built upon this Rock], but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
16 He [the first fruit – I Am] is green before the sun [the light now come], and his branch shoots forth in his garden [this Eden rebuilt].
17 His roots are wrapped about the heap [taking hold of what men have created and put in the LORD’s place], and see the place of stones [what they’ve built upon their own confusion].
18 If he [the first fruit] destroy him [the corrupt and their corruption] from his place, then it shall deny him [the LORD in me speaking and working], saying, I have not seen you [though it is the reality before the eyes of all the world].
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way [for those who admit what they have seen and are seeing], and out of the earth shall others grow [as fruits with the first fruit].
20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
21 Till he fill your mouth with laughing, and your lips with rejoicing.
22 They that hate you shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to naught.
The only other time either of these words (‘achariyth or re’shiyth) appears in Job is when (re’shiyth), in Job 40:19, speaks of behemoth as the “chief” of the ways of God.
Job 40
1 Moreover, the LORD answered Job, and said,
2 Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.
3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer you? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further [with his own words].
6 Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind [His Almighty Spirit changing the face of the earth], and said,
7 Gird up your loins [receive this reparation] now like a man: I will demand of you, and declare you unto me [open your mouth and speak as I have commanded].
8 Will you also disannul my judgment [by not speaking]? will you condemn me, that you mayest be righteous?
9 Have you an arm like God? or can you thunder with a voice like him?
10 Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency; and array yourself with glory and beauty.
11 Cast abroad the rage of your wrath [speak the gentleness found in these treasures, not willing that any should perish]: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Hide [taman] them in the dust [this ruin, without form [[tohuw]] and void [[bohuw]], the earth has become [[hayah]]] together [yachad]; and bind their faces [paniym – by My Presence manifested through you] in secret [taman].
14 Then [if you can do these things as I, the LORD, working and speaking, hidden in the flesh, before your eyes, alone have done] will I also confess unto you that your own right hand can save you.
15 Behold now behemoth [see the excerpt from Job 34, from the previous post where verse 7 is quoted from the post of 27 March 2021 – showing this is God’s people, when they are muted {bhemah – the dumb beast the LORD heals}, no longer speaking their own words, so the LORD words can be heard], which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox [[[the third face of the unfolding presence of the LORD, seen in the wheel within a wheel]] doing the LORD’s work and devouring the corruption that has before grown from the earth]
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins [this preparation now in them], and his force is in the navel [shariyr – only appearing here; from sharer, meaning enemy] of his belly [they have devoured as grass].
17 He moves his tail like a cedar [as a result, they become upright]: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together [they are bound together, built into his ONE BODY, by the fear of God now in them].
18 His bones [that hold them upright] are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief [re’shiyth] of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword [His word they before refused] to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinks up a river [this word of God], and hastes not [and fearlessly repeats it]: he trusts that he can draw [bring into the light] up Jordan [uncovering the words that have carried all humanity into death] into his mouth [by speaking this word as received].
24 He takes it with his eyes [he receives this understanding when he sees as the LORD sees]: his nose [perceiving present what isn’t seen] pierces [the ear and enters the mind] through snares [mowqesh].
[[It’s important to remember, immediately after, above describing the Behemoth, the LORD in the following chapter asks, “Can you draw out {into the light where all now see them} leviathan with a hook? or {cause} his tongue {his mouth} with a cord {drawing out his words, revealing his identity} which you let down {as a snare from heaven}?”]]
2 Samuel 22
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence [[done to Your word]].
4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
Job 34
1 Furthermore Elihu [“He is God,” speaking and working unknown] answered [‘anah – as in Anathoth: the LORD answering those who’ve petitioned Him to redeem the earth] and said,
2 Hear [shama’ – obey] my words, O you wise men; and give ear unto me, you that have knowledge.
3 For the ear tries words, as the mouth tastes meat.
4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 For Job [God’s hated people in this generation, as well as throughout time] has said, “I am [self] righteous: and God has taken away my judgment.
6 Should I lie against my [what he thinks is] right? my wound [of ignorance] is incurable without transgression.”
7 What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water [the rivers of Egypt, words of oppression, which, as the Jordan, carry all men down into death – see Job 40:23, where this aspect reveals Job {God’s hated people} as the “behemoth” He there describes. This is followed, in Job 41:1, with the LORD telling us our affliction {‘aven} is, in this judgment, drawing out leviathan, which we know is the river as described in Habakkuk 3:8} that carry the words {pollution and corruption} of the false accuser’s {Jobs three friends}. This drawing out into the open, is the LORD, as in Isaiah 52:10 and Habakkuk 3:9, making his arm bare {His bow quite naked}. This comes, in Habakkuk 3:2, as he first hears, and then in verse 9 sees it is the LORD; which is what Job, in Job 40:5 does with first putting his hand over his mouth, which allows him to then hear and later see Him. Job 42:5 I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye sees you. 6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes {from where they are created and raised to life}.]?
8 Which goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men.
9 For he has said, It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God [seeking Him and His glory first].
10 Therefore hearken unto me you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness [mislead into destruction]; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13 Who has given him a charge [paqad – made Him Chief Overseer] over the earth? or who has disposed [suwm – considered, and made accordingly] the whole world?
14 If he set [suwm] his heart upon man, if he gathers [‘acaph – take away, remove] unto himself his spirit and his breath;
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust [the ruin of the former age, from where He was created].
16 If now you have understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words [hear the LORD in me speaking, as from the whirlwind].
17 Shall even he [the evil now in power] that hates right govern? and will you condemn him that is most just?
18 Is it fit [appropriate for you] to say to a king, You are wicked? and to princes, You are ungodly?
19 How much less [appropriate is it then] to him that accept not the persons [positions] of princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor [those without worldly power]? for they all are the work of his hands.
20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight [when ignorance is fully risen], and pass away [‘abar – from life into death]: and the mighty [evil in power] shall be taken away without hand.
21 For his [the LORD’s] eyes [as the Chief Overseer] are upon the ways of man, and he sees all his goings.
22 There is no darkness [ignorance], nor shadow [gendering – to regenerate in defined, known, form] of death, where the workers of iniquity [evil misleading] may hide themselves.
23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
25 Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night [by their own ignorance, end those thinking they’re wise to do evil], so that they are destroyed.
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others [before the whole world where every eye sees it];
27 Because they turned back from him [as dogs to their own vomit], and would not consider any of his ways:
28 So that they cause the cry [tsa’aqah] of the poor [they oppress and abuse] to come unto him, and he hears [shama’ – obeyed: granted their request] the cry [tsa’aqah – the same cry, the petition, the LORD heard from His people in Egypt – see Exodus 3:7 & 9] of the afflicted.
29 When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hides his face [paniym – His presence], who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation [gowy – those who haven’t known Him], or against a man [‘adam] only [yachad – same word as is rendered “together” in the title verse, here it should read “or against all humanity into which I breathe My life”]:
30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared [in their evil time].
31 Surely it is meet [appropriate] to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement [Your correction], I will not offend any more:
32 That which I see not teach you me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
33 Should it be according to your mind? he will recompense it, whether you refuse, or whether you choose; and not I: therefore speak what you know.
34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken [shama’ – become obedient] unto me.
35 Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers [of self-justification and self-righteousness, trying to prove their ways are right, and, therefore, refusing the LORD’s right ways] for wicked men.
37 For he adds rebellion unto his sin, he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.
The word rendered “end,” in verse 36 above, telling of the end of Job’s trials, when, after first hearing the LORD speaking in the words of Elihu, he see the LORD, as in Job 42, is the word netsach, meaning “a goal [[the mark aimed at]], i.e. the bright object at a distance traveled towards; hence (figuratively), splendor, or (subjectively) truthfulness, or (objectively) confidence; but usually (adverbially), continually (i.e. to the most distant point of view [seeing the LORD]).”
The word re’shiyth first appears in Genesis 1:1; there telling of when (“In the beginning”) God created (bara’) the heaven and the earth. As a side point, this first verse also contains the (almost always) untranslated word ‘eth, which indicates self. As such, the verse most assuredly should read, “In the beginning [re’shiyth], God, by Himself [‘eth, as single source of the act, in the first cause, the first fruit], created the heaven and the earth.”
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word [from the mouth of His first begotten] was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light [understanding] of men.
5 And the light shined in darkness [that covers the world become without form and void]; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John [the dove, the same as Jonah, the sign of the end, of the age of darkness, reached].
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become [begotten, as first fruits] the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name [identity, God in me doing the work]:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
The word (re’shiyth) appears two other times in Genesis, and next in the two verses (Exodus 23:19 & 34:26) we’ve discussed describing when the “ingathering” occurs.
Exodus 23
16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of your labors [now when you have become the laborers the LORD of the harvest has sent into His field], which you have sown in the field [this word in the earth]: and the feast of ingathering [‘aciyph – into His ONE BODY], which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field.
17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the LORD God.
18 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread [not adding to, corrupting, this word]; neither shall the fat [prospering] of my sacrifice remain [luwn – stop] until the morning [until the light, full understanding, comes].
19 The first [re’shiyth – I Am] of the firstfruits [you are] of your land [‘adamah – the people of the LORD’s new creation] you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God. You shall not seethe [nashal – ripen] a kid in his mother’s milk [the childish with words meant for his teachers].
20 Behold, I send an Angel [with MY words] before [paniym – as My presence to] you, to keep [shamar – to guard and protect you from corruption] you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared [this new earth into which now flows milk and honey, that you might know to choose good and refuse evil].
21 Beware of him, and obey [shama’] his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [identity] is in him.
22 But if you shall indeed obey [shama’] his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto your enemies, and an adversary unto your adversaries.
Friends, I take no authority other than that which the LORD gave me when He made me His chosen and sent me as His identity, and He, working in me, cannot deny Himself.
Matthew 16
…Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 He says unto them, But whom say you that I Am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona [the rock, the son of Jonah: the first to come, through the gates, from the belly of hell, comprehending Me and knowing this is the end of the darkness, “in the beginning” of the chain reaction]: for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock [first stone of many stones of the LORD’s habitation, from which His word flows] I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose [understanding: uncovered light in the darkness] on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from you, LORD: this shall not be unto you [as it has been, as the LORD, my Father, commanded].
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get you behind me, Satan: you are an offence unto me: for you savor not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life [identity, and take Mine] for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels [all His messenger awakened to this destiny]; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Truly I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that you have heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit you to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 You therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh].
4 No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman [he that works in the earth] that labors must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and the LORD give you [first] understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead [the first- fruit, now, of the resurrection of the dead] according to my gospel:
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound [nor can any man shut what the LORD has now opened].
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not [He is resurrected in me], yet he abides faithful [in me]: he cannot deny himself. [I tell you the truth, I confess without fear, Jehovah’s Salvation, Jesus, is alive from the dead, Christ, in my flesh!]
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the LORD that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as does a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus [those who forbid your Joining with the LORD, in His ONE BODY, one flesh, as His only son, and forbidding this they hide behind the spurious mask of caring for your soul];
18 Who concerning the truth have erred [astocheo [[without foundation]]], saying that the resurrection is past already [the resurrection comes when you are freed from the lies [[possession]] of the false prophets and false teachers whose words and ways have carried humanity into death and hell]; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation [I Am] of God stands sure, having this seal, The LORD knows them that are his. And, let every one that names the name of Christ depart from [purge out, incise, exercise, work out of yourself] iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these [the vessels of dishonor, in which remains the scum], he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified [made holy], and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the LORD out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife [the way of the wicked, argument, continuously questioning with known lies and false accusation, intended to produce endless confusion].
24 And the servant of the LORD must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil [endless questioning, using lies and false accusation, even when known to be such – with intention, leading captive silly women who are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth], who are taken captive by him at his will.
2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days [of darkness] perilous times shall come [as they have now come].
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such [devils taking you captive] turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses [against him casting down rods which turned to serpents, which Aaron’s rod, turned into a serpent, ate] so do these also resist [satan] the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith [false prophets with not a word of God in them, speaking their own words against the son of man God sent to free His people from this oppression].
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the LORD delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them;
15 And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works [which is the good fight we fight].
2 Timothy 4
1 I charge you therefore before God, and the LORD Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch you in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.
Hebrews 3
1 Wherefore [He is able to recuse, succor, us from our doubt], holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling [to declare Him present, and this word as His voice], consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession [homologia – giving us His word to declare], Christ Jesus;
2 Who was [is] faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was [is] counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house [from the stones from where His word flows] has more honor than the house.
4 For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.
Deuteronomy 33
1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai [against the thorns], and rose up from Seir [against devils misleading us] unto them; he shined [understanding] forth from mount Paran [and made it clearly seen], and he came with ten thousands of saints [as Enoch foretold]: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in your hand: and they sat down at your feet; every one shall receive of your words.
19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
20 And of Gad [the LORD’s troop, His ONE BODY: His army of light] he said, Blessed be he that enlarges Gad [gathers into His army]: he dwells as a lion, and tears the arm [the works of the wicked] with the crown of the head [the LORD’s authority written into our minds].
21 And he provided [ra’ah – saw first for them] the first part [re’shiyth] for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads [ro’sh] of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
22 And of Dan [His judgment] he said, Dan is a lion’s whelp: he shall leap from Bashan [by his fruitfulness, by this blessing sent].
23 And of Naphtali [who were before wrestling with His identity] he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess you the west and the south [those upon who this light has now lighted and become their strength].
24 And of Asher [happy: joyful in His known presence] he said, Let Asher be blessed with children [who will also comprehend His presence]; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil [the LORD’s ways of prosperity, in this anointing].
25 Your shoes shall be iron and brass; and as your days, so shall your strength be.
26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun [God’s people who prosper when they follow His ways], who rides upon the heaven [with full understanding] in your help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before you; and shall say, Destroy them.
28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain [of life] of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew [His word appearing on the earth at the beginning of this new day].
29 Happy are you, O Israel: who is like unto you, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help, and who is the sword [His word sent in this judgment] of your excellency! and your enemies shall be found liars unto you; and you shall tread upon their high places.
The word re’shiyth is said to be from ro’sh, meaning “to shake; the head (as most easily shaken), whether literal or figuratively, (in many applications, of place, time, rank, etc.).” It (re’shiyth) is, with intention, actually a combining of this word and another primitive root word, shiyth, meaning “to place (in a very wide application):–apply, appoint, array, bring, consider, lay (up), let alone, X look, make, mark, put (on), + regard, set, show, be stayed, X take.”
The LORD uses this latter word twice in Job 38, in verses 11 & 36, both as he speaks of what He’s made as the beginning of the end.
Job 38
8 Or who shut up the sea [humanity] with doors, when it brake forth [with its own way and ideas], as if it had issued out of the womb [thinking to create themselves into something they made in their own evil image]?
9 When I made the cloud [the earth without the understanding held their] the garment thereof, and thick darkness [their ignorance and confusion their ways create] a swaddling-band [protecting them from themselves] for it,
10 And [by their own doing] brake up for it my decreed [choq – this appointed time and] place, and set bars and doors [holding them in the hell they created],
11 And said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves be stayed [shiyth – made to end, at the beginning by My word established]?
12 Have you commanded the morning [this sun to rise upon all] since your days; and caused the dayspring [shachar – dawn] to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends [ending the old age and beginning the new] of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal [this is My signature [[identity]] pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment [the covering of My flesh Body].
15 And from the wicked their light [understanding] is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea? or have you walked in the search of the depth?
17 Have the gates of death [and hell] been opened unto you? or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth [start to finish] of the earth? declare if you know it all.
19 Where is the way where light dwells [it is with God alone]? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof [which is in the earth that’s rejected Him],
20 That you shouldest take it to the bound thereof [now, when every eye sees the result of following the wicked into debilitating and dysfunctional insanity], and that you should know the paths [followed] to the house thereof?
21 Know you it, because you were then born? or because the number of your days is great?
22 Have you entered into the treasures of the snow? or have you seen the treasures of the hail [the LORD’s understanding frozen in heaven, there reserved until it’s now sent, both as purity and against the current corrupt crop of the wicked in power],
23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and [My just] war?
24 By what way is the light parted [into these many colors, showing the sign that I have not come to destroy, as men have, but to save, rescue the willing, from their destruction], which scatters the east wind [My Almighty Spirit working to change the minds of man] upon the earth?
25 Who has divided a watercourse [revealing, in the experience, what man’s words and ways of ignorance produce] for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder [My voice heard as the sound of understanding from the cloud];
26 To cause it to rain [My word from heaven] on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
28 Has the rain a father? or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who has gendered it [brought if forth in a known form from its progenitor]?
30 The waters are hid as with a stone [in me, hidden in my flesh, from where His voice flows], and the face of [pnaiym – manifesting the LORD’s presence, revealing] the deep [that] is frozen.
31 Can you bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
32 Can you bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or can you guide Arcturus with his sons? [now, when God’s people have become as many at the stars of heaven He’s awakened, as He promised]
33 Know you the ordinances [chuqqah – the limit ordained and appointed] of heaven? can you set the dominion thereof in [by unbreakable decree, ruling] the earth?
34 Can you lift up your voice to the clouds [where My understanding is held], that abundance of waters [My words] may cover you?
35 Can you send lightnings [understanding from there], that they may go and say unto you, Here we are [as He says in me, here I Am]?
36 Who has put [shiyth] wisdom in the inward parts? or who has given understanding to the heart?
Isaiah only uses the word re’shiyth once, in Isaiah 46:10, again speaking of this moment: the end of darkness and the return of the light, in this new heaven and earth.
Isaiah 46
1 Bel [the idols of the earth, men who’ve put themselves in the LORD’s place] bows down, Nebo [the false prophets of the world, who man has followed into insanity] stoops, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.
2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity [held in their own inability to change reality, the experience that has consumed them].
3 Hearken unto [shama’ – obey] me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly [out of hell], which are carried from the womb:
4 And even to your old age I Am he; and even to hoar hairs [man’s old age] will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
5 To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
6 They [the ignorant] lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he [[like Eliphaz]] makes it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
7 They [the ignorant] bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he stands; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble [tsarah – this tribulation].
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O you transgressors [who’ve forgotten Me and MY ways].
9 Remember the former things of old: for I Am God, and there is none else; I Am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness] from the beginning [re’shiyth – this time when light has returned in the first begotten and My first fruits], and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east [as an eagle flying, the fourth face, from the place where the sun has risen], the man that executes my counsel from a far country [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed]: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Hearken unto [shama’ – obey] me, you stouthearted [stiff-necked, whose mind’s refuse reason], that are far from righteousness:
13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off [rachaq – as the evil decrees that now rule the world], and my salvation shall not tarry [not be delayed any longer]: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
Psalms 72
1 Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 He shall judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgment.
3 The mountains [His governments] shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear you as long as the sun and moon [My righteous government in church and state] endure [paniym – remain in the LORD’s presence], throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers [My word from heaven] that water the earth.
7 In his days [when this light has come] shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endures.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea [generation to generation], and from the river [this word flowing into them] unto the ends of [the old and beginning of this new age of] the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness [the state of desolation] shall bow before him [paniym – in the LORD’s presence]; and his enemies shall lick the dust [the ruin of the earth they destroyed].
10 The kings of Tarshish [who fled their vows] and of the isles [who were without My word] shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor [[those without worldly power]] also, and him that has no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba [these promised treasures]: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be a handful [the small beginning] of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains [in My governments]; the fruit [the first fruits] thereof shall shake like Lebanon [as purity seen on high]: and they of the city shall flourish [[on this third day of His new creation]] like grass of the earth.
17 His name shall endure forever: his name shall be continued as long as [paniym – as His presence in] the sun [the Church: My ONE BODY]: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
