He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
The above, Psalms 72:14, a Psalm which ended the previous post, tell us plainly that our redemption is from deceit and the violence it’s done, which drained life (blood) from those it affects.
The word rendered “redeem” is many time used word ga’al; here speaking of the act, and many other times as the person. Its meaning is “to redeem (according to the Oriental law of kinship), i.e. to be the next of kin (and as such to buy back a relative’s property, marry his widow, etc.).”
As we well know, our kinsman redeemer is the LORD Himself, acting in the flesh He chooses, rescuing His family.
Psalms 72
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 [‘azar].
13 He [as the Only helper] shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem [ga’al] their soul from [the possession of] deceit [tok] and violence [chamac]: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he [redeemed from deceit] 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: Zion in whom He dwells]; 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 [His presence manifested in His word heard, in which His arm, work, is revealed]; Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
The word ‘azar (“helper”) is that used in the name Eliazar (Lazarus), speaking of the priesthood, through whom should come the word of God (‘El) as His blessing. This is the means, these messengers of God, by which we are rescued and resurrected.
The word tok, the “deceit” from which we are released, comes through the men sitting in these seats of power. It is a representation of that which caused the death of Lazarus (the priesthood), whom the LORD here and now is purifying and raising from the dead, out of the tomb (the churches where the dead are housed).
The word (tok) only appears two other times, in Psalms 10:7 rendered “fraud,” and Psalms 55:11, also rendered “deceit.”
Psalms 10
1 Why stand you [present] afar off [rachowq – in this time ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power], O LORD? why hide you yourself in times of trouble [tsarah – in this tribulation]?
2 The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor [those without worldly power]: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked boast of his heart’s desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance [his manner by which he is known], will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5 His ways are always grievous; your judgments are far above [leaving the earth and now reserved in the cloud] out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffs [speaks violence] at them.
6 He has said in his heart [mind], I shall not be moved [away from corruption into seeing as the God sees]: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud [tok]: under his tongue is mischief and vanity [worthlessness].
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places [mictar] does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set [tsaphan – secretly] against the poor [those without worldly power].
9 He lieth in wait secretly [mictar] as a lion in his den [as one speaking in the LORD’s name, in the churches of the dead]: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10 He crouches [as a lion readied to pounce upon his prey], and [hiding his pride] humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones [those whose strength is the common deceit they’ve learned and teach].
11 He has said in his heart [mind], God has forgotten [shakach]: he hides [cathar] his face [paniym – His presence]; he will never see it [the wickedness of the dead priesthood].
12 Arise [quwm], O LORD; O God, lift up [nasa’ – exalt the work of] your hand: forget [shakach] not the [truly] humble.
13 Wherefore does the wicked contemn [na’ats – scorn and mock, reject with contempt] God? he has said in his heart [his dead mind], You will not require [darash – inquire, seek it out, to bring it into the light for all to see] it.
14 You have seen it; for you behold mischief and spite, to requite [nathan – give us understanding of] it with your hand [by your works and words]: the poor commits himself unto you; you are the helper [‘azar] of the fatherless.
15 Break you the arm [the strength, deceit, which are their works and words] of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till you find none [left hidden].
16 The LORD is King forever and ever: the heathen [gowy – those who refuse to know the LORD] are perished [‘abad – wander away, lose themselves] out of his land [‘erets – the new earth the LORD is creating].
17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble [seeking You and Your presence manifested in Your words and ways]: you will [with understanding] prepare their heart [minds, for this resurrection], you will cause your ear to hear [them speaking your understanding as received]:
18 To [for our help] judge the fatherless and the oppressed [dak – only used three other times, Psalms 9:9 & 74:21, and Proverbs 26:28], that the man of the earth [‘erets] may no more oppress [‘arats].
Psalms 9
A Psalm of David
1 I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart [mind]; I will show forth all your marvelous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name [I will repeat this word as received from You, which manifests Your identity with us, in us], O you Most High.
3 When my enemies are turned back [achowr – this after now come], they shall fall and perish at your presence [paniym].
4 For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
5 You have rebuked the heathen [gowy – those who refuse to know You], you have destroyed [‘abad – caused to lose themselves, their right mind] the wicked, you have put out [machah – erased from the book of life] their name forever and ever.
6 O you enemy, [your] destructions are come to a perpetual end [tamam – completed their full course]: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial [zeker – their remembrance of God] is perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall endure forever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed [dak], a refuge in times of trouble [tsarah – this tribulation].
10 And they that know your name [identity] will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwells in Zion [in His ONE BODY, with One mind, where He dwells and reigns]: declare among the people his doings [in this word and work].
12 When he makes inquisition [darash – brings into the light] for blood [those draining the life of all people], he remembers [zakar] them: he forgets [shakach] not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death [deceit from the open mouths of the wicked]:
14 That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of [this entry preached, giving the LORD’s word as received, declaring it is His and Him with us, in us] the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation [manifested in the flesh You have chosen].
15 The heathen [gowy – those refusing to hear and obey Your good advice] are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell [sh’owl], and all the nations [gowy – those refusing to know the LORD] that forget [shakeach – only used here and Isaiah 65:11] God. [Isaiah 65:11 But you are they that forsake the LORD, that forget {shakeach} my holy mountain {Zion wherein I dwell}, that prepare a table for that {evil} troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. 12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and you shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not hear; but did evil before my eyes, and did choose that {deception and violence} wherein I delighted not.]
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten [shakach]: the expectation [of this promised end] of the poor shall not perish forever.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen [gowy – those who refuse this charity, the love of Your truth] be judged in your sight [paniym – at Your presence].
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations [gowy – those who’ve refused to know You] may know themselves to be but men [and not gods]. Selah.
Psalms 74 is titled as “A Maschil [instruction] of Asaph [from ‘acaph, meaning “to gather for any purpose; hence, to receive, take away, i.e. remove (destroy, leave behind, put up, restore, etc.).]”
Psalms 74
A Maschil of Asaph [Instructions to the Gatherers]
1 O God, why have you cast us off [zanach – removed us far away from understanding] forever [see Isaiah 19:6 and Lamentations 3:31]? why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old; the rod of your inheritance, which you have redeemed [ga’al]; this mount Zion [Your people in whose minds You dwell and reign], wherein you have dwelt.
3 Lift up your feet [‘make known the way] unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy [the devils, as thorns and briers, in the midst of God’s people] has done wickedly [putting men’s creation in His place] in the sanctuary.
4 Your enemies [messengers who left their first estate] roar [claiming they are speaking God’s word] in the midst of your congregations; they set up their [false] ensigns for signs.
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees [cutting down the truly upright].
6 But now they break down the carved work [pittuwach – the law: tablets of stone carved by the hand of the LORD God, to which men have done violence] thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 They have cast fire into your sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of your name [Your identity in Your chosen] to the ground.
8 They said in their hearts [corrupted minds], Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land [‘erets – all the earth].
9 We see not our [lying] signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knows how long [until this darkness: ignorance of the LORD, ends].
10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme your name for ever?
11 Why withdraw [shuwb – return to Yourself] you your hand [leaving Your work and his time unknown], even your right hand [of Your power]? pluck it out of your bosom.
12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth [‘erets].
13 You did divide the sea by your strength: you brake the heads of the dragons [tanniyn – men as serpents and whales, who with wide open mouth devour all who touch {are yoked to} them] in the waters [their evil corruption they mixed with the waters above: Your pure word as given] .
14 You brake the heads [the corrupt minds] of leviathan [the priesthood, messenger who left their first estate, who now speak their own creation, which they put in the place of the holy and pure truth] in pieces, and gave him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness [this time of desolation caused by the abomination these men created, put in the LORD’s place, and call by His name].
15 You did cleave [into pieces] the fountain and the flood [of these men’s corruption]: you dried up mighty rivers [flowing these men’s corruption into the sea: the people at large].
16 The day [this time of Your light come] is yours, the night also is yours [to end as You promised]: you have prepared the light [understanding] and the sun [the Church to receive it and give it again as received].
17 You have set all the borders of [qbuwlah – the shore unto which the LORD has sent us as signs, from the belly of hell] the earth [‘erets]: you have made summer and winter [the seasons to change, when the proud wave of men’s corruption are here at this shore stayed].
18 Remember this, that the enemy has reproached [charaph – vilified and demonized Your work unknown upon the ignorant earth], O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed your name [identity among us unknown].
19 O deliver not the soul of your turtledove [dove, those who know they have reached the promised and expected end] unto the multitude of the wicked: forget [shakach] not the congregation of your poor forever.
20 Have respect unto the covenant [this end promised]: for the dark [ignorant] places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty [chamac – the violence of deception, as in Psalms 72:14 above] .
21 O let not the oppressed [dak] return ashamed [but instead reach this promised and expected end]: let the poor [those without worldly power or position] and needy [knowing they need these necessary utterance from Your mouth] praise your name [repeating this as received, while declaring it is Your presence manifested with us, in us].
22 Arise [with us, in us], O God, [through us] plead your own cause [riyb]: remember how the foolish man reproaches [cherpah – scorns and insults] you daily.
23 Forget [shakach] not the voice [the always open mouths] of your enemies: the tumult of [sha’own – uproar, their deception, speaking against You their creations they falsely claim are Your words] those that rise up against you increases continually.
Isaiah 19
4 And the Egyptians [the oppressed and their oppressors in church and state, in this double strait] will I give over into the hand of a cruel [qasheh] lord [‘adown – king; these words refer to Rehoboam {like Trump}, who when the people asked Him to lessen their burden, took the advice of young men, and made it harsher, which caused the breach between Judah and Israel]; and a fierce king shall rule over them, says the LORD, the LORD of hosts [a man of war].
5 And the waters [above – the word of God] shall fail [in the hand of those pushing their own agendas, like the Trump haters] from the sea [the people at large], and the river [the means by which words flow] shall be wasted and dried up [without this word of God].
6 And they shall turn the rivers far away [zanach – removing all understanding, destroying all truthful discourse], and the brooks [that should be] of defense shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
11 Surely the princes of Zoan [those departed from truth and sanity] are fools, the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh [the evil family, the wicked in power] is become brutish: how say you [the insane] unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 Where are they? where are your wise men? and let them tell you now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts has purposed upon Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan [the departed far away from the LORD] are become fools, the princes of Noph [the prominent, the biggest mouths] are deceived [nasha’ – beguiled by devils slithering among us]; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay [relied upon for information] of the tribes thereof.
14 The LORD has mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.
16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shakes over it.
Isaiah 9
13 For the people turn not unto him [the cruel one] that smites them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts [a man of war].
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off [karath – end as promised] from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
15 The ancient [zeqen – the elders] and honorable [nasa’ – those lifted up over God’s people], he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail.
16 For the leaders of [thorns and briers: misleaders oppressing, who have overgrown the neglected garden] this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
17 Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one [taught by these misleaders, which brings {have brought} death upon all that do] is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burns as the fire [of hell]: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
The word Maschil is from the words mah (what) and sakal, meaning “to be (causatively, make or act) circumspect and hence, intelligent:–consider, expert, instruct, prosper, (deal) prudent(-ly), (give) skill(-ful), have good success, teach, (have, make to) understand(-ing), wisdom, (be, behave self, consider, make) wise(- ly), guide wittingly.”
The first time sakal appears is in Genesis 3:6, speaking of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which is said to have fruit desired “to make one wise.” The underlying point is that they (Adam and Eve) already knew good, the advice (counsel) of God, from the good fruit, and once it is disobeyed, by following the advice of devils (misleaders) slithering among us, they then know evil (and good, making mixed waters, which are only separated in the firmament), which (evil) ends in death of the spiritual man God just, by a good conscience (co-perspective), created in agreement with His One Mind.
Gensis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtle [with his contradictions of the word received from the LORD] than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, has God said, You shall not eat [‘akal – with affinity to sakal {the wise who understand}, meaning to receive knowledge and understanding, truth, from the tree of life, and deception, coming by a strange interpretation rather than the full understanding given by the LORD] of every tree of the garden [this is the original sin, the first cause of all evil: misleading by partial truth]?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat [‘akal – receive knowledge] of the [good] fruit of the trees of the garden [in whose midst dwells the LORD]:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of [tavek – appearing twice before this; first in Genesis 1:6 telling us it is the place, in the waters, of the firmament: rightly dividing the water above from the waters below, which the LORD called heaven; and the second in Genesis 2:9 telling us it is the place of the {good} tree of life in] the garden, God has said, You shall not eat [‘akal – not receive understanding or knowledge of good or evil] of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
4 And the serpent [contradicting the LORD] said unto the woman [the helper], You shall not surely die:
5 For God does know that in the day you eat [‘akal – receive the corrupt understanding given by the deceivers] thereof, then your eyes shall be opened [paqach – referring to its two uses in Job, with affinity to paqad, speaking of overseeing, seeing as the LORD sees, or in the position of such but without His sight, which they corrupted with their evil creations], and you shall be as [the false] gods, knowing [intermixing both] good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise [sakal], she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat [its produced evil fruit].
7 And the eyes of them both were opened [paqach], and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together [to hide what was done in secret: the corruption of good fruit], and made themselves aprons [to hide what was producing offspring: the evil manifested in the next generation, and those after].
8 And they heard [shama’] the voice [qowl] of the LORD God walking [halak] in the garden in the cool of [ruwach – His Spirit moving, speaking and working] the day [shinning light, as a lamp in the midst of the darkness and now deep sleep of those afflicted by evil]: and Adam and his wife hid [chaba’ – draw back, away] themselves from the presence [paniym – the sixth use of the word, before this rendered “face” of the darkened deep, upon which the LORD’s Spirit moved; and after, in Genesis 1:20, saying “And God said, Let the {rightly divided waters} waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly {by this understanding received} above the earth in the open {paniym – the LORD’s presence manifested in the} firmament {this exposition, right dividing the waters above from the waters below} of heaven.”] of the LORD God amongst [tavek] the trees [men] of the garden.
9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where are you?
10 And he said, I heard your voice [qowl] in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid [chada’] myself.
11 And he said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten [‘akal] of the [evil advice of the] tree, whereof I commanded you that you should not eat [‘akal]?
12 And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me [as a helper], she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that you have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled [nasha’ – meaning “to lead astray, i.e. (mentally) to delude, or (morally) to seduce] me, and I did eat [‘akal].
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life:
15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.
Psalms 119
166 LORD, I have hoped for your salvation, and done your commandments.
167 My soul has kept your testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
168 I have kept your precepts and your testimonies: for all my ways are before you.
169 Let my cry [rinnah] come [bring] near before you [paniym – manifest Your presence], O LORD: give me understanding according to your word.
170 Let my supplication [tchinnah] come before you [paniym – manifest Your presence in Your word heard from me]: deliver me according to [as I agree with] your word [‘imrah]. [Deuteronomy 32:2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech {‘imrah} shall distil as the dew {shall appear on the earth at the beginning of this new day}, as the small rain upon the tender herb {life that comes to the earth again, on this third day of Your new creation}, and as the showers upon the grass: 3 Because I will publish the name {identity} of the LORD: ascribe you greatness unto our God.]
171 My lips shall utter praise [necessary good things], when you have taught me your statutes [line upon line, precept upon precept].
172 My tongue shall speak of your word: for all your commandments are righteousness.
173 Let your hand [Your work in me] help [‘azar] me; for I have chosen your precepts.
174 I have longed for your salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus; Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in my flesh], O LORD; and your law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise you; and let your judgments [mishpat] help [‘azar] me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost [‘abad – wandered away like a] sheep; seek your servant; for I do not forget [shakach] your commandments.
Psalms 55
Maschil [instruction], [giving wisdom and knowledge in] A Psalm of David
1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide [‘alam – vail, keep secret] not yourself from my supplication [tchinnah – making yourself known in Your words heard, with us, from within us].
2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity [‘aven – the mischief in verse 10 below] upon me, and in wrath [because I refuse their words] they hate [satam] me.
4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors [‘eymah – the “horror” in the great darkness, in Genesis 15:12, which was foretold to come during his deep sleep] of death are fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror [pallatsuwth – a four times used word referring us to its appearance in Isaiah 21:4 and Ezekiel 7:18] has overwhelmed me.
[Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds {cuwphah – with which the LORD comes} in the south pass through {chalaph – shall change those upon whom it comes}; so it comes from the desert {this time of desolation}, from a terrible {frightened} land.
2 A grievous vision {seeing as the LORD sees} is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer deals treacherously, and the spoiler spoils. Go up, O Elam {awaken, God’s faithful people throughout all eternity, from your deep sleep}: besiege {tsuwr – as stones from whom this word flows, in this war}, O Media {those in the middle of it}; all the sighing {‘anachah} hereof have I {by revealing My presence} made to cease. {Isaiah 35:10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return {shuwb – to their right mind}, and come to Zion with songs {rinnah – repeating this word as received} and everlasting joy {realizing My presence} upon their heads {dwelling in their minds}: they shall obtain joy {this realization} and gladness, and sorrow and sighing {‘anachah} shall flee away.}
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travails {in birth to bring forth her child}: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it. {Isaiah 9: 5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and {this people be} fuel of fire. 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.}
4 My heart panted {ta’ah – my mind staggers as a drunken man}, fearfulness {pallatsuwth} affrighted me: the night {this time of ignorance} of my pleasure {chsheq – the things desired} has he turned into fear unto me.
5 Prepare the table {that has become a snare upon all the earth}, watch {tsaphah – for these things to be revealed} in the watchtower {tsaphiyth – revelation that has now come}, eat, drink {these good things from the LORD}: arise, you princes {leader of God people}, and anoint {mashach} the shield {magen – referring to Genesis 15:1 as the LORD tells Abram {Abraham} He is his “shield” and his exceeding great reward}. {Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined {chathak – decreed} upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish {kala’} the transgression, and to make an end {chatham} of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up {chatham – make an end of the wondering about} the vision and prophecy, and to anoint {mashach} the Most Holy.}
6 For thus has the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman {tsaphah – by who this revelation will come}, let him declare what he sees {as the LORD sees}.
7 And he saw {rushing into the battle} a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels {many men coming with this wheel within a wheel}; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion {the second face seen in the wheel within a wheel, men boldly speaking the LORD’s word while declaring it Him present}: My LORD {‘adown – David’s LORD}, I stand continually upon the watchtower {mitspeh – from tsaphah, waiting for the LORD to reveal these necessary things} in the daytime {the time when light has again come to the earth}, and I am set in my ward {mishmereth – on watch the} whole nights {while ignorance covered the earth}:
9 And, behold, here comes a chariot of men {with wheels within wheels, giving this understanding as received}, with a couple of horsemen {as faces in the wheel}. And he answered and said, Babylon {the confusion that ruled the world into insanity} is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images {men’s creations} of her gods {the men who put them and themselves in the LORD’s place} he has broken unto the ground.
10 O my threshing {in this harvest}, and the corn {ben – the children the LORD has given me} of my floor {who speak my word as received, showing there is light in them}: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts {a man of war}, the God of Israel, {Him} have I declared unto you.]
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove [the voices of those who understand this is the expected end reached]! for then would I [by the strength of this understanding] fly away [rise with the LORD into full understanding: heaven], and be at rest.
7 Lo, then [while at rest] would I wander [nadad – understanding would depart] far off [rachaq – in this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power], and remain in the wilderness [desolate]. Selah.
8 I would hasten my [chuwsh – there be quickened] escape from the windy storm [ca’ah – a once used word meaning a rushing: quickening] and tempest [ca’ar – the place, a wheel within a wheel, from where the LORD’s voice is heard; see Job 38:1 & 40:6].
9 [From Your whirlwind, Your wheel within a wheel] Destroy, O LORD, and [rightly] divide their tongues [showing their words to be deceit]: for I have seen violence [chamac – as in Psalms 72:14 & 74:20 above] and strife [riyb – pleading their own causes against the LORD pleading ours which is His; as in Psalms 74:22 above] in the [evil] city.
10 Day and night [ignorant of the light and the darkness] they go about it upon the walls thereof [their lies upon lies, deceit they use to plead their own causes]: mischief [‘aven] also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit [tok] and guile depart not from her streets.
12 For it was not an enemy that reproached [charaph – blaspheme] me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 But it was you [the big mouths on the far {extreme} right], a man my equal, my guide [‘alluwph], and my acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
15 Let death seize upon [nasha’ – lead astray] them, and let them [for sowing discord among friends, and against us siding with enemies] go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17 Evening [when ignorance of the LORD covers the earth], and morning [when this understanding first come], and at noon [when it is fully risen], will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
18 He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abides of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
20 He has put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he has broken his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
22 Cast your burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain you: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 But you, O God, shall bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in you.
Proverbs 26
1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not seemly [nav’eh – suitable] for a fool.
2 As the bird [believing they have risen with understanding] by wandering [away from the LORD], as the swallow by flying, so the curse [the reward earned by fools who think they are wise] causeless shall not come.
3 A whip for the horse [making him run the course of the rider], a bridle [controlling the mouth] for the ass, and a rod [of correction] for the fool’s back.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly [which you do if you accept his false premise], lest you also be [a fool] like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly [not accepting his false premise], lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 He that sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off the feet [and the message is undermined], and drinks [brings upon his cause] damage [chamac – violence].
7 The legs of the lame are not equal [and he therefore strays from his course]: so is a parable in the mouth of fools [misinterpreted].
8 As he that binds a stone in a sling, so is he that gives honor to a fool [hinders his own cause when pointing out his foolishness].
9 As a thorn [damaging the work] goes up into the hand of a drunkard [unknown], so is a parable [unknowable] in the mouths of fools.
10 The great God that formed all things both rewards the fool [with his own foolishness], and rewards transgressors [with his own transgression].
11 As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly [even after it is proven to be foolishness].
12 See you a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him [who is incorrigibly blinded by his pride].
13 The slothful man says [looking for any reason not to obey the LORD’s commands], There is a lion [men speaking against the LORD in His name] in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 As the door turns upon his hinges [going nowhere], so does the slothful upon his bed [remaining in a deep sleep, from which he is called to awaken].
15 The slothful hides his hand in his bosom [refusing to work]; it grieves him to bring it again to his mouth [to eat and speak as he is commanded].
16 The sluggard [never diligently seeking, because they ignorantly believe they already know all] is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason [why he should seek and see].
17 He that passes by, and meddles with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18 As a mad man who casts firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 So is the man that deceives his neighbor, and says, Am not I in sport [saying it was jesting]?
20 Where no wood is, there the fire goes out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases.
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 He that hates dissembles with his lips, and lays up deceit within him;
25 When he speaks fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations [tow’ebah] in his heart [mind].
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shown before the whole congregation.
27 Whoso digs a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolls a stone, it will return upon him.
28 A lying tongue hates those that are afflicted [dak] by it; and a flattering mouth [telling people they are right even when they are obviously wrong] works ruin.
The following is the LORD, in Jeremiah risen, unknown, lamenting the stiff-neck of His people He is long-suffering to raise with Him.
Lamentations 3
3 I Am the man [the first face of the unfolding presence of the LORD] that has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath [His word refused].
2 He has led me, and brought me into darkness [this time of ignorance], but not into light.
3 Surely against me is he turned; he turns his hand [work] against me all the day [to bring me out of darkness].
4 My flesh and my skin has he made old; he has broken my bones.
5 He has built against me, and [with corrupt men He] compassed me with gall and travail.
6 He has set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old [housed here in hell].
7 He has hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he has made my chain heavy.
8 Also when I cry and shout, [while I remained in darkness] he shuts out my prayer.
9 He has enclosed my ways with hewn stones [men whose minds are the creations of men], he has made my paths [among the] crooked.
10 He was unto me as a bear lying in wait [to tear in pieces the corrupt thoughts that remain in my mind], and as a lion [the LORD’s voice heard roaring] in secret places.
11 He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he has made me desolate.
12 He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13 He has caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
14 I was a derision to all my people; and their song [was against the LORD’s voice] all the day.
15 He [by men] has filled me with bitterness; he has made me drunken with wormwood.
16 He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones [many ignorant opinions], he has covered me with ashes [the ruin of the earth, from where I and all are created].
17 And you have removed my soul far off [zanach] from peace: I forgot [it is what creates] prosperity.
18 And I said, My strength [understanding] and my hope [in this promised end in His presence] is perished [‘abad – wandered away] from the LORD:
19 Remembering my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall [that replaced His word].
20 My soul [my inner man sleeping inside this flesh] has them [the understanding we once received] still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope [in this promised, covenanted, end].
22 It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning [when His light rises again beginning a new day]: great is your faithfulness.
24 The LORD is my portion [cheleq – our reward, inheritance, who smooths our words as water smooths a stone over time], says my soul [awakened into awareness]; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation [tshuw’ah] of the LORD.
27 It is good for a man that he bear the [LORD’s light] yoke in his youth.
28 He sits alone [not joining with or following others] and keeps silence [as the LORD speaks and teaches], because he has borne it [the yoke] upon him.
29 He puts his mouth in the dust [showing it to have been speaking thing that are the ruin of the earth]; if so be there may be hope [of His new creation when His presence is realized].
30 He [as he long-suffers our rejection] gives his cheek to him that smites him: he is filled full with reproach [cherpah – scorn and insult].
31 For the LORD will not cast off [zanach] forever:
32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
33 For he does not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
34 To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth.
35 To turn aside the right [mishpat – the judgment] of a man before the face [paniym – the presence] of the Most High,
36 To subvert a man in his cause [riyb], the LORD approves not.
37 Who is he that says, and it comes to pass, when the LORD commanded it not?
38 Out of the mouth of the Most High proceeds not evil and good?
39 Wherefore does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of [correction that quickens to life: leading away {agape} from] his sins?
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD [and His way].
41 Let us lift up our heart [minds] with our hands [works] unto God in the heavens [the place where understanding is found].
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: you have not pardoned [by neglecting correction: good tending of the garden].
43 You have covered with anger, and persecuted us: you have slain, you have not pitied.
44 You have covered yourself with a cloud [of the understanding you have reserved for Yourself, to be revealed by You in Your time], that our prayer [of corrupt understanding, institutionally taught ignorance] should not pass through [‘abar – could not bring us out of death into life].
45 You have made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
47 Fear and a snare is come upon us [all the earth], desolation and destruction.
48 My eye [seeing as the LORD sees] runs down with rivers of water for [to cure] the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 My eye trickles down [this understanding], and ceases not, without any intermission.
50 Till the LORD look down, and behold from [ra’ah – see] heaven [here on the earth, when we are risen into full understanding].
51 My eye [seeing as the LORD sees] affects my heart [changing minds] because of all the [sleeping minds of the] daughters of my city.
52 My enemies chased me sore [tsuwd – to ensnare in their pit], like a bird [like an eagle, the final face of the LORD’s manifested presence], without cause.
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone [their corrupt words of death in which the darkened world trusts] upon me.
54 Waters flowed over my head; then I said, I am cut off.
55 I called upon your name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon. [Jonah 2:2 And said, I cried by reason of my affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and you heard my voice.]
56 You have heard my voice: hide not your ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57 You drew near in the day that I called upon you: you said, Fear not.
58 O LORD, you have pleaded [riyb] the causes [riyb] of my soul; you have redeemed my life [from death]. [Jeremiah 51:36 Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, I will plead {riyb} your cause {riyb}, and take vengeance for you; and {end their words that are a snare} I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.]
59 O LORD, you have seen my wrong [‘avvathat – only used here, meaning oppression]: judge [shaphat] you my cause [mishpat – with Your righteous judgment].
60 You have seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations [machashabah – contrivances, creations] against me.
61 You have heard their reproach [cherpah – scorn and insults], O LORD, and all their imaginations [machashabah – contrivances, creations] against me;
62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device [higgayown – songs they repeat, plotting] against me all the day.
63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their music.
64 Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
65 Give them sorrow of heart [minds], your curse unto them.
66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from [their hiding place] under [in the waters below, separated from] the heavens [the full understanding] of the LORD.
Ezekiel 7
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Also, you son of man, thus says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih – the King of kings and LORD of lords] unto the land [‘adamah – this generation I Am creating] of Israel; An end [qets], the end [qets] is come upon the four corners of the land [‘erets – the earth where My people are scattered].
3 Now is the end [qets] come upon you, and I will send my anger upon you, and will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense upon you all your abominations [tow’edah].
4 And my eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations [tow’ebah] shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I Am the LORD.
5 Thus says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih]; An evil [ra’], an only evil [ra’], behold, is come.
6 An end [qets] is come, the end [qets] is come: it watches [quwts – it awakens, in the morning] for you; behold, it is come.
7 The morning [tsphiyrah – the diadem of Isaiah 28:5, the crown upon the head of the LORD of the army of heaven] is come unto you, O you that dwell in the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth]: the time is come, the day of trouble is near [qarowb], and not the sounding again [hed – only used here, meaning the evil decrees] of the mountains [from the corrupt governments of church and state].
8 Now will I shortly [qarowb] pour out my fury upon you, and accomplish [kalah – as used twice in Daniel 12:7; to finish] my anger upon you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations [tow’ebah].
9 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense you according to your ways and your abominations [tow’ebah] that are in the midst of you; and you shall know that I Am the LORD that smites.
10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning [tsphiyrah – the crowning] is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
11 Violence [chamac] is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time is come, the day draws near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14 They [the faithful of the LORD] have blown the trumpet [giving ample warning], even to make all ready; but none goes to the battle: for my wrath [this word they reject] is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 The sword [this word they refuse] is without [the camp], and the pestilence [the disease that comes upon the wicked at My presence manifested] and the famine [God’s people refusing His word] within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 But they that escape [palat] of them shall escape [paliyt], and shall be on the mountains [going into God’s new government] like doves of the valleys [as signs to the lowly of the end reached], all of them mourning [the end of the old and corrupt heaven and earth], every one for his iniquity.
17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror [pallatsuwth] shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold [all the things the old and corrupt world thought were of value] shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it [the things in which they trust] is the stumbling-block [mikshowl – the likeness of hell, following things desired] of their iniquity.
20 As for the beauty of his ornament [the words with which the LORD has clothed, adorned, us], he set it in majesty [ga’own – He exalted it above all worldly value]: but they made the images of their abominations [tow’ebah] and of their detestable [shiqquwts – abominable] things therein: therefore have I set it [My majesty] far from them.
21 And I will give it [images you’ve created] into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
22 My face [paniym – My presence] will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret [tsaphan] place [so none see any value in the treasure]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23 Make a chain [rattowq – only used elsewhere in 1 Kings 6:21, where it a “chain” overlayed {tsaphah} with gold, desired worldly value, that hides the true treasure within {the ‘abar – the way to pass over from death into life} in the oracle {the holy of holies, in the LORD’s presence manifested in the conversation}]: for the land is full of bloody crimes [mishpat – a judgment against truth tellers], and the city is full of violence [chamac – against this word of God].
24 Wherefore I will bring [as I have] the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled [as they are: Isaiah 28:8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.].
25 Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26 Mischief [hovah, from havah] shall come upon mischief [hovah], and rumor [shmuw’ah – this voice of Jehovah heard, in this time of ignorance, and not yet believed] shall be upon rumor [shmuw’ah – His voice teaching, precept upon precept, line upon line] then shall they seek a vision of the [false] prophet[s]; but the law shall perish from the priest[s], and counsel from the ancients [zaqen – all now the robbers who’ve put themselves in My place]. [The word hovah, referring to the effects of the strong delusion the LORD has sent upon the insane, only appears one other time, in Isaiah 47:11, saying “Therefore shall evil come upon you; you shall not know from whence it rises: and mischief {hovah} shall fall upon you; you shall not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know {because you’ve been chained in your own ignorance}.”]
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land [‘erets – the earth] shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts [mishpat – according to their corrupt judgment, by the precedent of their evil shall the evil judge them, and thereby] will I judge [shaphat] them; and they shall know that I Am the LORD
Ezekiel 8 begins with Ezekiel (the son of man) realizing the hand of the LORD was upon Him, giving him His vision: to understand the abominations: imagery created in the darkness. The word “imagery” in Ezekiel 8:12 is the six times used Hebrew word maskiyth, which asks and answers what (ma) skiyth, with affinity to the once used word sek, meaning pricks, and the seven times used word shayith, meaning “a wild growth of weeds or briers:– thorns.”
The verse (Ezekiel 8:12) tells us these (abominations created by the misleaders and deceivers that have overgrown the neglected garden) are the “chambers” where these men (ancients) are seen. The word “chambers” is the Hebrew word cheder, meaning it’s a bedchamber, the innermost thoughts: darkness in which these men sleep.
Ezekiel 8
11 And there stood before them seventy men [all the leaders of God’s people] of the ancients [zaqen] of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah [Jehovah hears {these men and knows they are unrepentant}] the son of Shaphan [who hide these treasures in their darkness], with every man his censer [with strange fire] in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up [speaking their understanding that isn’t].
12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, have you seen what the ancients [zaqen] of the house of Israel do in the dark [the things in which their ignorance is revealed], every man [sleeping in death] in the [bed] chambers of his imagery [their sek and shayith]? for they say, the LORD sees us not; the LORD has forsaken [‘azab – left] the earth.
13 He said also unto me, Turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations that they do.
14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north [tsaphown – the darkness in which these treasures are hidden]; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz [only used here, Strong’s saying it’s of uncertain derivation, while the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon says it means “sprout of life,” as in the “tender plant” of Isaiah 53:2 and the tender branch of Matthew 24:32, that here and now puts forth its leaves – Its affinity is to the word timmahown, said to mean astonishment, and deconstructs into: Tim ma {is that} hamown, as in Isaiah 33:3, saying “At the noise {qowl – voice} of the tumult {hamown} the people fled; at the lifting up of yourself the nations were scattered.”].
15 Then said he unto me, Have you seen this, O son of man? turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations than these.
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty [ancient] men [of Judah], with their backs toward the temple [not seeing, facing, the presence] of the LORD, and their faces toward the east [looking to their own understanding for His appearing]; and they worshipped the sun [the corruption of the dead body of Christ] toward the east.
17 Then he said unto me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land [‘erets – the earth] with violence [chamac – wrong, their errors by which they drain life from humanity], and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose [ignorantly thinking they’re pleasing God, and are therefore protected from His judgment].
18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: my eye shall not spare [I will not turn from His vision, nor surrender to the corrupt], neither will I have pity: and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
Deuteronomy 18
9 When you are come into the land [’erets – this new earth] which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations [the creations that those who don’t know the LORD created, put in His place, and call by His name].
10 There shall not be found among you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through [‘abar – teaching them that the way from death into life are in the abominations they put in His place] the fire [of all the following, mentioning people who use their evil words and ways to deceive, manipulate, and control the masses], or that uses [false] divination [they predict thousands of things and when a few come true they call themselves prophets], or an observer of times [seeing self-created delusions, saying the time is other than now], or an enchanter [nachash – using their words as spells concocted to manipulate and control people into doing their evil will – as we see is the strategic policy of the communists and all mass media: all the prominent voices], or a witch [sorcerers using these methods].
11 Or a charmer [using flattery to achieve the same evil ends], or a consulter with familiar spirits [who are the known dead giving advice known to be the way into death and hell], or a wizard [claiming to be experts, while expressing agenda-driven opinions], or a necromancer [any who have intercourse, interaction, with the dead].
12 For all that do these things are an abomination [putting themselves in the LORD’s place, which are detestable] unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you [paniym – by His presence manifested with you, in you].
13 You shall be perfect [complete by receiving His mind] with the LORD your God.
14 For these nations [who refuse to know the LORD], which you shall possess, hearkened [shama’ – heard as their gods, and were obedient] unto observers of times [saying this is the time of material man and not the day, time of light, of the LORD], and unto diviners [falsely telling them they see the way forward]: but as for you, the LORD your God has not suffered you so to do [commanding us to come out from among them and be holy: purged of the corruption of these evil men in power, who possess the weak-minded and ignorant].
15 The LORD your God will raise up unto you a Prophet from the midst of you [outside these corrupt institutions and the misleading men therein], of your brethren [having the same One Father], like unto me [Moses – one who will lead you out of the double strait you are in: the oppression from the institutions of church and state, which are Jacob’s troubles {tsarah}, the tribulation in these last days of darkness]; unto him you shall hearken [shama’ – you will hear and obey his voice as the voice of Jehovah, as it is];
16 According to all that you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb [in this time of desolation and tribulation] in the day [this time of light returned: which is understanding and life] of the assembly [the gathering into His ONE BODY], saying, Let me not hear [and refuse] again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire [against the fires of hell] any more, that I die not.
17 And the LORD said unto me, “They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you [Moses – drawn out of the waters below, the words that produce death and hell], and will put my [pure and uncorrupted] words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them [as received] all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto [shama’ – hear and obey his words as] My words which he shall speak in my name [manifesting My identity], I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume [zuwd] to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name [manifesting the identity] of other gods [whose words they exalt above My words], even that prophet shall die.
21 And if you say in your heart [minds], How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow [hayah] not [is not understood or realized, comes not into being by seeing what was before unseen], nor come to pass, that is the thing [dabar – words about a matter, concerning the ‘abar, the passing over from death into life] which the LORD has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously [zadown – in pride, arrogantly speaking untrue opinions as if they are true, saying I said, or their false gods said]: you shall not be afraid of him.”
Psalms 73
1 Truly God is good to Israel [His people who by faith receive this promised end], even to such as are of a clean [bar – pure] heart [by which man sees, perceives, God, as it is written in Matthew 5:8].
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped [into backsliding].
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked [in power over church and state].
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain; violence covers them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens [all truthful discourse], and their tongue walks through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return here [into the ruin and ashes from where they were created]: and waters of a full cup [this word by which they were created] are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13 Truly I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued [by the wicked], and chastened [by this correction from the Father] every morning.
15 If I say, I will speak thus [as the LORD commands]; behold, I should offend against the generation of your children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God [into His presence]; then understood I their end [‘achariyth – that these are the last days].
18 Surely you did set them in slippery places: you cast them down into destruction [masshuw’ah].
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awakes [and realizes the thoughts in his mind weren’t real]; so, O LORD, when you awake, you shall despise their image [the creations of men’s minds, which aren’t true].
21 Thus my heart [foundational mind] was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins [deepest thoughts taught].
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you [without Your mind: Spirit].
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have holden me by my right hand [leading back to the right way].
24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward [after correction] receive me to glory [as Your child].
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside you.
26 My flesh and my heart [mind] fails: but God is the strength of my heart [understanding mind], and my portion [reward, inheritance] forever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from you [LORD] shall perish: you have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the LORD God, that I may [with opened mouth] declare all your works.
