Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
The LORD begins today, above, in Joel 1:3, a chapter in which He uses multiple similitudes in describing the current desolation, caused by the intentional chaos sown into all the world, destroying all order. The perpetrators, Obama and his insurgent army of demons: globalists, communists, and anarchists, after, by confusion, destroying all (intellectual) resistance, are now implementing their end game: total collapse of the civilized world.
Friends, hear the truth: the LORD isn’t going to let it end any way these vermin hope. He is going on offense. So here we go with Him. It is this apocalypse the title verse speaks of.
Let the earth open her mouth and swallow these men and their evil into the hell they’ve created. I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war. Therefore, a state of declared war now exists between the LORD God Almighty and the evil that possesses the world gone to hell.
The following, ending with Revelation 6, is from the post of 19 April 2025, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Revelation 19
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven [repeating these words as received], saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the LORD our God [present with us, in us]:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he has judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up forever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts [the faces of the wheel within the wheel, completing the unfolding presence of the LORD God with us, in us] fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all you his servants, and you that fear him, both small and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings [the sound of light from the cloud], saying, Alleluia: for the LORD God omnipotent reigns [and confusion no longer does].
7 Let us be glad and rejoice [realizing His presence], and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he says unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he says unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at [emprosthen] his feet [of the flesh in which the LORD is with us, in us] to worship him. And he said unto me [as I Am saying to you], See you do it not: I am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren that have the testimony of Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in His word through our flesh]: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name [Timothy – identity, the flesh in which He reveals Himself] written, [the Holy Ghost, the Paraclete] that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen [washed from corruption by this word], white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron [sharpening iron]: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And LORD Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun [in the church]; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast [Babylon], and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark [in their minds and their works] of the beast [of confusion], and them that worshipped his image [the deceptions created by the insane in power]. These both were cast alive into a lake [limne] of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword [[this word they refuse]] proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls [[as eagles flying in heaven, raised there by the strength of the LORD’s full understanding received]] were filled with their flesh.
Those cast alive into the hell of their own making, created from their unrepentant evil minds, are still at work, but their time is short.
Revelation 6
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun [the church institution] became black as sackcloth of hair [distressed by the things grown from their heads], and the moon became as blood [civil government draining the life from all they oppress];
13 And the stars of heaven fell [from the place of understanding] unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs [unripe, ever learning and never able to come to the truth, because the whole is leavened: corrupted], when she is shaken of a mighty wind [amemos – of the false doctrines, which are shaken to be removed].
14 And the [corrupt] heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain [all seats of power] and island [dry places without this word of God] were [re]moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the [shaken] mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face [the LORD’s presence] of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand [when this voice is shaking heaven and earth]?
The following, ending with Psalms 120, is from the post of 14 January 2025 and, with that day’s additions, is mostly from the post of 11 March 2019. All of today’s additions are in double brackets.
Isaiah 54
13 And all your children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of your children.
14 In righteousness shall you be established: you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near you.
15 Behold, they [the wicked] shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against you shall fall for your sake.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17 No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn [when your mouths are opened]. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, says the LORD.
All the following [[ending with Psalms 120]] are excerpts from the post of 11 March 2019.
I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
The above is from Psalms 84:10, a Psalm that describes the anointed entering the presence of the LORD, and the blessing found there, in the mission of bringing others to the same doorway.
Psalms 84
1 How amiable are your tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2 My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 (Yea, the sparrow has found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,) even your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will be still praising you. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca [low places of weeping] make it a well [a place from where can be drawn these living waters]; the rain [word of God from heaven] also fills the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appears before God.
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, O God our shield [who protects us from the lies and accusation of the wicked], and look upon the face of [paniym – Your presence manifested in] your anointed.
10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield [who gives us light, understanding, which protects us from the enemies]: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 O LORD of hosts [[who is a man of war]], blessed is the man that trusts in you.
The “courts” spoken of in verses 2 & 10 above are the Hebrew word chatser, and speak of where the glory and grace of the LORD is revealed as He appears there for Judgment.
It is the court spoken of in Ezekiel 43:5, where the glory of the LORD appears at the east gate, as the sun rises and shines His unique, the only valid, understanding. His light is what carries us into His courts, as we understand the vision seen by the river Chebar, which we know speak of the events of the past revealing the events of our time, flowing from eternity, and seen as a wheel within a wheel. We know, because we have seen, it is speaking of our time and this very moment.
Ezekiel 43
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east:
2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw [the wheels, which were understood as events within events, times within a time, now rightly divided in our time] by the river Chebar [far off {now} – in the vision of the unfolding presence of the LORD, as four faces with which He revealed Himself]; and I fell upon my face [paniym – I fell at His presence realized].
4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house [to His family] by the way [derek – this way] of the gate whose prospect [paniym – entering the LORD’s presence] is toward [derek – is the way] the east [toward where this light is first seen].
5 So the spirit [as a doorkeeper] took me up, and brought me into the inner court [chatser]; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house [filled His family].
6 And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house [from His people, His family]; and the man [the first face of the LORD’s unfolding presence, seen in the wheel within a wheel] stood by me. [1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was {is} manifest in the flesh {the first face}, justified in the Spirit {justified while unknown speaking and working: roaring as lion, the second face; working in the earth, as an ox, the third face}, seen of angels {realized present by those who become His messengers with this same message}, preached unto the Gentiles {declared into those who haven’t know Him}, believed on in the world, received up into glory {His voice exalted above all others, rising into heaven like an eagle, the fourth, final, face seen in the wheel within the wheel}] .
7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel [here on the earth] forever, and my holy name [identity], shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcasses of their kings in their high places.
8 In their setting of their threshold [entry ways] by [against] my thresholds [My entry ways], and their [door] post by [against] my [door] posts, and the wall [of their corruption] between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name [identity] by their abominations that they have committed [put in My place, and called by My name]: wherefore I have consumed them in my anger.
9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcasses [dead flesh without My Spirit] of their kings [leading them], far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.
10 You son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern [assess and understand this wheel within a wheel].
11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house [from My people], and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in [the entryway] thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight [as I have], that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
12 This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain [My government] the whole limit [end] thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
13 And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and a hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar [this necessary sacrifice, to deliver His message and declare His presence, we offer to the LORD].
14 And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.
15 So the altar shall be four cubits [[the entry ways is the work of the four faces]]; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns [[the LORD reigning through His power revealed in them, through them]].
16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof [[the exponential expansion of this understanding]].
17 And the settle [[‘azarah – this preparation and rescue by the LORD]] shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border [gbuwl – the shore where the proud wave of men are stayed]] about it shall be half [[chetsiy – the word rendered “half” in Daniel 12:7 speaking of the rightly dividing the mow’ed: the appointed times]] a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs [[ma’alah – this resurrection]] shall look toward the east.
18 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus says the LORD God; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon [[all the world]].
26 Seven days [[in this necessary sacrifice]] shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate [[make holy: pure, so they see the LORD again, in]] themselves.
27 And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day [[this new creation]], and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the LORD God.
This purge into holiness and the cleansing of the priesthood are what Zechariah speaks of in Zachariah 3, which we have often discussed as representing the priesthood restored, patterned in Joshua, whose name is Jesus and therefore describes the body of Christ, here and now. We have seen that after the holy garments of the priest are put on, the LORD’s messenger again tells him, “If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my charge, then you shall also judge my house, and shall also keep my courts [chatser], and I will give you places to walk among these that stand by.”
The “place to walk” is from what is said to be a one-time used word mahlek, which is virtually the same as the four-times used word mahalak, which appears as the word “journey” twice in Jonah 3. We know this is after he comes to his senses, from the belly of hell, overcomes the troubles agitating the masses: the winds of false doctrine, and returns to His mission. It is telling of the three days Jonah preached, warning of the impending doom, which in our time is the self-destruction that is coming by following the ignorance of the communists into the false utopia we know is the mass misery of hell. (These preachers of communism should be seen side by side with Venezuela – the only reason they aren’t is that the fake news media is so intent on hating us, as we see and know, they are willing to even destroy the nation to destroy us.)
Jonah 3
1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
2 Arise, go unto Nineveh [the son who will come to life, and become the church, the mother of all living], that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid you.
3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey [mahalak].
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey [mahalak], and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
Zechariah 3
1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before [paniym – in the presence of] the angel [messenger with the message in which He is manifested] of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist [satan – to attack and accuse] him.
2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebukes you, O Satan; even the LORD that has chosen Jerusalem rebukes you: is not this a brand plucked [natsal – the harpazo, which the false prophets twist into the Satanic doctrine of an off the earth rapture] out of the fire?
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy [corrupt] garments, and stood before [paniym [[in the LORD’s presence manifested in His word heard from]]] the angel [[His messenger speaking His message]].
4 And he answered and spoke unto those that stood before [paniym] him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with change of raiment [[the change, allasso, of 1 Corinthians 15:51 – 54]].
5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments [of the purified priesthood]. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
6 And the angel of the LORD protested [reiterated] unto Joshua, saying,
7 Thus says the LORD of hosts; If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my charge [[to keep my word from corruption and speak it as received]], then you shall also judge my house, and shall also keep my courts [chatser], and I will give you places to walk [mahlek] among these that stand by.
8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you, and your fellows that sit [in My presence] before [paniym] you: for they are men wondered at [[see Isaiah 8:18 – 20]]: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch [through whom this life flows life].
9 For behold the stone that I have laid [manifesting My presence] before [paniym] Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes [seeing as the LORD sees]: behold, I will engrave the craving [write this writing] thereof, says the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land [‘erets – the earth] in one day [[when this understanding covers the earth]].
10 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, shall you call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree [to receive this life flowing from there].
The “valley” of Baca mentioned in Psalms 84 is referring us to Joel, where in Joel 1:5 the word bakah, the origin of the one-time used name Baca, appears as the drunkards are called to awaken to “weeping.” The passage is telling of the communists, who with the intention to destroy our nation and culture, infiltrated our every institution and corrupted them with their poisonous ideas and induced ignorance.
Joel 1
1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel [Jehovah is God] the son of Pethuel [the vision of God – seeing as He sees].
2 Hear this, you old men, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land [‘erets – the earth]. Has this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
3 Tell you your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
4 That which the palmerworm has left has the locust eaten; and that which the locust has left has the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm has left has the caterpiller eaten.
5 Awake, you drunkards, and weep [bakah]; and howl, all you drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth [the ideas that have made you blind, ignorant and confused have been destroyed by the light of God’s vision, understanding].
6 For a nation [communists – calling themselves liberals, progressives, and socialists] is come up upon my land [‘erets – the earth], strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the cheek teeth of a great lion [with their mouths tearing in pieces and devouring all flesh].
7 He has laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he has made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth [who think Christ is dead].
9 The meat offering and the drink offering [truth] is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD’s ministers, mourn.
10 The field is wasted, the land [‘adamah – this generation] mourns; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languishes.
11 Be you ashamed, O you husbandmen; howl, O you vinedressers, [you stewards in who the LORD gave charge, to watch over and keep His truth, as it was given you] for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languishes; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy [the realization of the LORD presence] is withered away from the sons of men.
13 Gird yourselves, and lament, you priests: howl, you ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering [this word of God, His truth] is withheld [by your opposition and rebellion] from the house of your God.
14 Sanctify you a fast [to abstain from corruption, men’s evil misleading], call a solemn assembly [into the LORD’s ONE BODY], gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land [‘erets – the earth] into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,
15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
16 Is not the meat [[this deep understanding held in the sealed book]] cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
18 How do the beasts [all the dead flesh] groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
19 O LORD, to you will I cry: for the fire [of hell] has devoured the [corrupt] pastures of the wilderness, and the flame [of hell’s fires] has burned all the trees [the falsely so-called upright men of this evil generation] of the field.
20 The beasts of the field cry also unto you: for the rivers of [[[now]] corrupt] waters are dried up, and the fire [of hell] has devoured the [[[now]] corrupt] pastures of the wilderness.
Psalms 44
1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the times of old.
2 How you did drive out the heathen with your hand, and planted them; how you did afflict the people, and cast them out.
3 For they got not the land [‘erets – the earth] in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance [paniym – Your Presence], because you had a favor unto them.
4 You are my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 Through you will we push down our enemies: through your name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7 But you have saved us from our enemies, and have put them to shame that hated us.
8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise your name forever. Selah.
9 But you have cast off [when we went into darkness: forgot your presence, and you are separated, are hidden, from us], and put us to shame; and go not forth with our armies.
10 You make us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
11 You have given us like sheep appointed for meat; and have scattered us among the heathen.
12 You sell your people for naught, and do not increase your wealth by their price.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14 You make us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face [disappointing those trying to find you] has covered me,
16 For [we followed] the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
17 All this is come upon us; yet [we still ignorantly say] have we not forgotten you, neither have we dealt falsely in your covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from your way;
19 Though you have sore broken us in the place of dragons [men as serpents and whales devouring us with wide open mouths], and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 If [we are ignorant that] we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21 Shall not God search this out? for he knows the secrets of the heart [corrupted minds].
22 Yea, for your sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Awake [in us], why sleep you, O LORD? arise, cast us not off [leave us not in darkness] forever.
24 Wherefore hide you your face [paniym – Your presence], and forget our affliction and our oppression?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust [[the ruin of th earth]]: our belly cleaves unto the earth [‘erets].
26 Arise [in us] for our help, and redeem us for your mercies’ sake.
Psalms 120
1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given unto you? or what shall be done unto you, you false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn [stop in my journey] in Mesech [those the LORD has drawn into open sight], that I dwell in the tents of Kedar [darkness – ignorance and confusion]!
6 My soul has long dwelt with him that hates peace.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
Numbers 21
5 And the people spoke against God, and against Moses [from whom His word flows], Wherefore have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loathed [quwts] this light bread [this word from the mouth of God, the manna they didn’t know].
6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents [men whose words were, are, poison] among the people, and they [with their words] bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against you; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make you a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole [nec]: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole [nec], and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass [lifted as the son of man must be lifted], he lived.
All the following is from the post of 13 January 2024, with today’s additions in double brackets.
Numbers 21
10 And the children of Israel set forward [naca’ – started their journey], and pitched in [chanah – into the declining light] Oboth [carrying the written word of God with them].
11 And they journeyed [naca’] from Oboth, and pitched [chanah] at Ijeabarim [making crooked the way delivered to Abram], in the wilderness [midbar – desolating speech] which is before Moab [of men whose words are the gates of hell], toward the sunrising [toward the time, now, when this light has risen again].
12 From thence they removed [naca’], and pitched [chanah] in the valley [the torrent created by men’s words] of Zared [and they, men and their words, greatly increased].
13 From thence they removed [naca’], and pitched [chanah] on the other side [opposing God and their own beginning] of Arnon [brawling stream – now warring], which is in the wilderness that comes out of the coasts [until the end] of the Amorites [the sayers, those exalting their words above the word of God]: for Arnon [the brawling stream] is the border [gbuwl – the set boundary, the termination point] of Moab [the ever open mouths of men, the gates that hold the world in hell], between [sundering, by rightly identifying] Moab [the gates of hell] and the Amorites [as those exalting their word above the LORD’s].
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars [milchamah – this warfare] of the LORD [Jehovah], What he did in the Red sea [cuwphah – by His voice heard from the whirlwind], and in the brooks of Arnon [this warfare at these brawling waters],
15 And at the stream of the brooks that goes down to the dwelling of Ar [His city he is building, His ONE BODY in which He dwells, which is New Heavenly Jerusalem, our destination reached], and lieth upon [sha’an – the fully expected end, in which we can trust because it is decreed by the LORD] the border [gbuwl – it is the boundary, the termination point] of Moab [of the gates holding all the world in death and hell].
Jeremiah 48
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD.
44 He that flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation [pquddah – now when the LORD appears as the Chief Overseer of the earth], says the LORD.
45 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon [what they have contrived] because of the force [because they were there powerless]: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon [their own contrivances], and a flame from the midst of Sihon [warriors upon whom this whirlwind has come], and shall devour the corner [mouth and ideas] of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous [the rushing] ones [who are warring against the LORD with their words].
46 Woe be unto you, O Moab [the gates of hell that will not prevail against those declaring the LORD is present in our flesh]! the people of Chemosh [the powerful who have subdued God’s people – the false gods of Moab] perish: for your sons are taken captives, and your daughters captives.
47 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days [‘achariyth], says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
The Hebrew word translated as “tumultuous” in verse 45 above is sha’own, the same word below translated “noise” in Isaiah 25:5, a chapter speaking of the destruction of the defenced city, where is the palace of strangers. As we know, verse 8 of Isaiah 25 speaks of the resurrection of God’s people when the LORD swallows up death in victory.
Isaiah 25
1 O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things; your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 For you have made of a city a heap; of a defensed city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify you, the city of the terrible nations shall fear you.
4 For you have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 You shall bring down the noise [sha’own – tumult caused by their word as rushing waters] of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war] make unto all people a feast [of His good words] of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 And he [the LORD] will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering [lowt] cast [lowt] over all people, and the vail [maccekah – most often rendered molten image; here meant to refer us to its definitive use in Isaiah 30:1] that is spread over all nations.
8 He will swallow up death [meveth] in victory; and the LORD God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has spoken it.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab [the gates of hell: the open mouths of wicked men] shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swims spreads forth his hands to swim [dividing the waters, to stay above them]: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12 And the fortress of the high fort of your walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
Again, as often discussed, the termination point, ending the war in the LORD’s victory over death and hell, is spoken of by Paul as he quotes from verse 8 above in 1 Corinthians 15:54. He says it comes with the end of corruption when those hidden thereby have put on their immortality, which (corruption) is the vail and the cover cast over all the earth.
1 Corinthians 15
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural [flesh] body; it is [in the uncovering: the apocalypse] raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit [bringing the natural from death into life]. [“…now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: 11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles {those who haven’t known the LORD always among them}” 2 Timothy 1].
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the LORD from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed [allasso – reconciled, when we see our immortality as He sees],
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye [the epiphany, when we see as He sees], at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [allasso – reconciled, seeing as He sees].
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Proverbs 1
22 How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But you have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;
27 When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind [cuwphah – this termination point, as in the Red sea]; when distress [tsarah – tribulation] and anguish come upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me [because I Am hidden in plain sight, veiled in flesh, unknowable to those who choose to remain ignorant]:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD [which is the beginning of wisdom]:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkens [shama’ – obeys] unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Proverbs 10
25 As the whirlwind [cuwphah] passeth [‘abar – passing over, bringing from death to life those who from there hear Jehovah’s voice], so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting [‘owlam] foundation.
26 As vinegar [is destructive] to the teeth, and as smoke [is blinding] to the eyes, so is the sluggard [refusing to work] to them that send him [as the LORD sends us in His name to do His work].
27 The fear of the LORD prolongs days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
29 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
31 The mouth of the just brings forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaks forwardness [twisting and perverting truth].
Hosea 8
1 Set the trumpet to your mouth. He shall come as an eagle [[[the fourth and final face of the unfolding presence of the LORD]] flying in heaven with full understanding] against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 Israel [[those who receive Me and receive this expected end]] shall [open their mouths and] cry unto me, My God, we know you.
3 Israel [[My people who have forgotten Me and My manner]] has cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him [into the Red sea, as they have].
4 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it [them] not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off [[karath]].
5 Your calf, O Samaria [My people turned to idols put in MY place and called by My name], has cast you off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocence [claiming you haven’t done this]?
6 For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind [cuwphah – this voice of the Almighty, as a trumpet calling all to gather to Him, away from idols into His ONE BODY]: it has no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal [because they are going their own ways and speaking their own words]: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up [[into the belly of hell]].
8 Israel is swallowed up [into hell by the ever-open mouths of men]: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9 For they are gone up to Assyria [the communists in power], a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim has hired lovers.
10 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11 Because Ephraim has made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
12 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepts them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] their sins: they shall return to Egypt [a state of oppression under tyrants as they have].
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and built temples; and Judah [the leadership of God’s people] has multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
Elihu (God unknown speaking from the flesh), in Job 37:9, using the word cuwphah, defines the whirlwind as a massive amount of water in the cloud, the word of the Almighty, thundering understanding from where it was held, and by it changing (allasso and katallasso) the earth.
Job 36
24 Remember that you magnify his work [the effect of His word you receive as His, or not], which men behold.
25 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off [rachowq – in this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of tyrants].
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27 For he makes small [seeming to be insignificant, because they are sent through the lowly and powerless] the drops of water: they pour down rain [matar – His word through His martyrs] according to the vapor [‘ed, only appearing here and in Genesis 2:6 where it’s the “mist” that rose from the earth, revealing the LORD’s presence to ‘adamah, the human inhabitants of the earth, before making Adam, the first soul brought to life by this word from the mouth of God] thereof:
28 Which the clouds [where understanding is held when it leaves the earth, held there in its separated elements] do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
29 Also can any understand the spreading of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle [the thunder, His voicing giving understanding, from the light]?
30 Behold, he spreads his light [[understanding]] upon it, and covers the bottom [the darkened deep] of the sea [all humanity in ignorance of Him].
31 For by them [His word through His martyrs] judges he the people; he gives meat [this deep meaning that strengthens] in abundance.
32 With clouds he covers the light [this understanding withheld]; and commands it not to shine by the cloud that comes betwixt [reserving it there for this apocalypse, when it comes in the whirlwind].
33 The noise [rea’, meaning “a crash (of thunder), noise (of war), shout (of joy)”] thereof shows concerning it, the cattle [His flock upon whom it comes] also concerning the vapor [the word here is ’alah; saying it concerns the understanding that left: rose into the cloud in separated elements].
Job 37
1 At this also my heart trembles [by this understanding minds are shaken], and is moved out of his place [changed from ignorance to understanding].
2 Hear attentively [shama’ – obey] the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth [understand that ends the corrupt and brings the new to life].
4 After it a voice roars [as a lion among lions]: he thunders [the sound of the light, understanding, from the cloud] with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them [understanding] when his voice is heard [shama’ – obeyed, as His, as it is].
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend [until He uncovers them by His revelation].
6 For he says to the snow [His word frozen, reserved, in heaven in the cloud], Be you on the earth; likewise to the small [matar] rain [the many martyrs through which the LORD’s word has come in the many diverse manners], and to the great [matar] rain [now through the son, in whom all these many diverse conversations are congealed into one comprehensive message, which is the cuwphah: the end by Jehovah uncovered] of his strength [that gives understanding].
7 He seals up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 Then the beasts [without His Spirit] go into dens, and remain in their places [no longer trespassing into things they shouldn’t].
9 Out of the south comes the whirlwind [cuwphah – from His right hand of power; His work revealing His presence throughout eternity]: and cold out of the north.
10 By the breath [life in His Spirit from His mouth] of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened [by His Spirit moving upon the darkened deep the waters are again rightly ordered, and light, understanding, comes into being].
11 Also by watering he wearies the thick cloud [emptying onto the earth the understanding held there in separated elements]: he scatters his bright cloud [sending these treasures of full light, hidden, covered therein]:
12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may [obey Him and] do whatsoever he commands them upon the face of [paniym – when His presence is by these things revealed to] the world [this generation in this age] in the earth [‘erets].
13 He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land [‘erets – His earth], or for mercy.
14 Hearken unto this, O Job [you people of God who are hated in this darkened generation]: stand still, and consider [biyn – understand] the wondrous works [at which you wonder what you’re experiencing] of God [which you haven’t yet fully understood, evident in your refusal to obey His commands].
15 Do you know when God disposed them [ended the wondering], and caused the light [understanding] of his cloud to shine [upon the earth as it now does]?
16 Do you know the balancings of [maphlas – only appearing here, meaning what is poised therein: reserved to be sent at this appointed time from] the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17 How your garments are warm [How you’re brought back to life], when he quiets the earth by the south wind [as His Spirit moves upon the earth, as a whirlwind from where His Almighty voice is heard cleansing it]?
18 Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass [from where He sees everything that comes or will come]?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness [your own ignorance, by remaining with the corrupt who only know corruption].
20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speaks [opposing Him], surely he shall be swallowed up [by his own words, thinking they will stand against the whirlwind of the Almighty].
21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passes [‘abar – His Spirit moves, bringing them from death into life], and cleanses them [of the corruption that pollutes the earth].
22 Fair [calm] weather comes [‘athah – at the LORD’s arrival] out of the north [when corruption is cleansed from the ignorant]: with God is terrible majesty.
23 Touching the Almighty [whose voice is heard from the whirlwind], we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
24 Men do therefore fear him: he respects not any that are wise of heart [proud and unchangeable away from their corrupt thinking].
Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert [midbar] of the sea [place from where the whirlwind comes: beginning from the heat from a dry place where there is little water and then increasing over the sea]. As whirlwinds [cuwphah] in the south pass [sweeping away the old ideas and ways]; so it comes from the desert, from a terrible land [yare’ – the land causing fear, see verse 4 and Isaiah 8:12 & 13, “Say you not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.”]
2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer deals treacherously, and the spoiler spoils. Go up, O Elam [this is speaking of eternity, as in the ancient things {God’s word} stored of old, to be released now in this war – also see Jeremiah 49 telling of the LORD’s throne being established here]: besiege, O Media [people in the middle – as in lukewarm, Revelation 3:14 thru 22]; all the sighing [‘anachah – referring us to Isaiah 35:10 & 51:11 when the LORD silences the enemies and puts His words in our mouths] thereof have I made to cease.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travails [she is bringing forth a man child]: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure has he turned into fear unto me.
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and anoint [the one who is] the shield.
6 For thus has the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion [‘ariy – the body of Christ rising by/with His strength [[as the second face in the unfolding presence of the LORD roaring His word]]]: My LORD, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
9 And, behold, here comes a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon [confusion’s rule] is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he has broken unto the ground.
10 O my threshing [opening the word, referring us to Isaiah 28 [[when the LORD brings to pass the things no one except Him knows]], and destroying the gates of hell], and the corn [ben – sons] of my [threshing] floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I [[in His strength]] declared unto you.
11 The burden of Dumah [Edom {Esau} and meaning the silencing of the enemies in our midst – as in verse 2 above]. He called to me out of Seir [from among the devils in the high places of Esau], Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night [the time of ignorance, which is caused by their {Edom’s} words]?
12 The watchman said, The morning [understand coming as the light of the sunrise] comes [‘athah – at the LORD’s arrival], and also the night [and these men will reject this word and choose to remain in ignorance]: if you will enquire [ba’ah], enquire – [ba’ah – only used three other times – here referring us to Obadiah, verse 6, where it is rendered “sought up,” which tells us this is how the secret things of Esau are revealed {by enquiring}]: return [shuwb – turn us], come [‘athah – at the LORD’s arrival].
13 The burden upon Arabia [the desert spoken of in verse 1, without water, without God’s word]. In the forest in Arabia shall you lodge, O you travelling companies of Dedanim [these people are defined in Jeremiah 49:8 – they are those spoken of in the prior verse, who return, and in doing so, escape the calamity that comes upon Esau].
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema [same as Teman – the place of the Theophany – where the LORD appears with His ten-thousands, as Enoch said, “Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints {as a whirlwind}, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”] brought [‘athah – at the LORD’s arrival] water to him that was thirsty, they prevented [went before] with their bread him that fled.
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
16 For thus has the LORD said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar [darkness] shall fail:
17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar [darkness], shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel has spoken it.
Matthew 12
34 O generation of vipers [whose mouths are filled with poison], how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart [this good word from the mouth of God] brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees [the religious worshipping idols they call by My name, who have no idea who I Am] answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from you.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah [who after coming from the belly of hell, calls all to repent, change, away from the corruption keeping them in the hell he escaped]:
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s [ketos, from chasma: the great “gulf” between heaven and hell, which cannot be crossed without repenting from the words that self-condemn them into it, their open mouths the gates holding them in its] belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth [held there unseen, by the ignorance created by these same evil men in power].
41 The men of Nineveh [[the LORD’s children in perpetuity]] shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall [obey and open their mouths with this good conversation] condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
42 The queen of the south [those who now see Him who they before only heard of] shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold [as she saw], a greater than Solomon is here. [1 Kings 10:6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom. 7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: your wisdom and prosperity exceeds the fame which I heard. 8 Happy are your men, happy are these your servants, which stand continually before you, and that hear {shama’ – and obey} your wisdom. 9 Blessed be the LORD your God, which delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel forever, therefore made he you king, to do judgment and justice.]
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man [when he has repented of the corrupt that held him], he walketh through dry places [without this word of God], seeking rest, and finds none.
44 Then he says, I will return into my house [the corrupt churches] from whence I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished [also cleansed, by His forgiveness, of corruption, but also without this word of the LORD they refuse].
45 Then goes he [as dogs returning to their own vomit, and sows it to those who were washed from their wallowing in the mire they again stir – their word that condemn them to remain in hell], and takes with himself seven other spirits [the misleading of devils mixed among them] more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first [because he ignorantly believes he is saved, while he is taken deeper into the bottomless pit of hell]. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brethren stand without, desiring to speak with you.
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 For whosoever shall DO [not just hear] the will of my Father which is in heaven [speaking from the place of full understanding, shaking heaven and earth], the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite [the Comforter, who is also God the ensnarer].
2 God is jealous, and the LORD revenges; the LORD revenges, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves wrath for his enemies.
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD has his way in the whirlwind [cuwphah – the end that comes with His uncovering] and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers: Bashan languishes, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knows them that trust in him.
Psalms 17
1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that go not out of feigned [deceiving] lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from your presence; let your eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 You have proved my heart; you have visited [paqad – as the Chief Overseer] me in the night [this time when ignorance covers the earth]; you have tried me, and shall find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in your paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon you, for you will hear me, O God: incline your ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Show your marvelous lovingkindness, O you that saves by your right hand them which put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye [you’ve instructed into seeing as you see], hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9 From [paniym – manifest your presence against] the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouths they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint [paniym – by your presence against] him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is your sword:
14 From men which are your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold [chazah – perceive] your face [paniym – Your presence] in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness.
