And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God has visited his people.

And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God has visited his people.

The above tells of people’s response when the LORD raised an unnamed man from the dead. The passage says the LORD said to him, “Young man, I say unto you, Arises,” the man “that was dead sat up, and began to speak.”

Before the LORD speaks, He touched the “bier,” from the once used Hebrew word Soros, meaning “probably akin to the base of 4987; a funereal receptacle (urn, coffin), i.e. (by analogy) a bier:–bier.” The word (name) is telling what holds the dead, which is further characterized in the twice-used Greek word soreuo (4987), meaning “from another form of 4673 [soros]; to pile up (literally or figuratively):–heap, load.”

The word (soreuo) first appears in Romans 12:20; the LORD there speaking through Paul, commands us to do good to our evil enemies and thereby “heap” coals of fire upon their heads. It (soreuo) is then used in 2 Timothy 3:6, there saying silly women “laden” with sins are led away captive (by false teachers) and are ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. We’re told (in verse 5) this sort (their teachers) have “a form of godliness, but [are] denying the power thereof.” Paul says (the LORD in him speaking) from such turn away, because these are those who creep into houses and lead these silly women away (into ignorance).

Romans 12
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in ONE BODY, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being many, are ONE BODY in [by the ONE MIND of] Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teaches, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without dissimulation [without acting or speaking good intentions while intending evil – having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof {to bring good}]. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned [touching with good] one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the LORD;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation [thlipsis]; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same [ONE] mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the LORD.”
20 Therefore if your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing you shall heap [soreuo] coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall [have] come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good [as it is evident and undeniable this day],
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden [soreuo] with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres [the priests holding God’s people in oppression] withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the LORD delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them;
15 And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God [one of two times in the New Testament the title “man of God” is used, both of Timothy: Tim {time} of God] may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

The Greek words used above, in verse 5, speaking of those who have a form of “godliness” but are “denying” the “power” of God, are respectively, eusebeia, arneomai, and dunamis.

1 Timothy 3
14 These things write I unto you, hoping to come unto you shortly:
15 But if I tarry long, that you may know how you ought to behave yourselves in the house of God, which is the church [ONE BODY] of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness [eusebeia]: God was manifest in [His presence in] the flesh, justified in the Spirit [while unknown in the flesh], seen of angels [seen of those who become messengers sent to the heirs of salvation and eternal life], preached [by Him through His word in them] unto the Gentiles [unto those who don’t know Him], believed on in the world [in this generation], received up [exalted, lifted as the son of man is lifted] into glory [the glory revealed in our flesh is Jehovah’s glory known in us].

The power (dunamis) is to raise the dead, by the Good word of God manifesting His presence in our flesh, which is the mystery of eusebeia (godliness), which these men arneomai (deny), meaning they refuse to believe Christ is risen in us, and speaking through us to raise the dead.

2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying [arneomai] the LORD that bought [agorazo] them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom, the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not.

1 Corinthians 6
19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown to the dead world] which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?
20 For you are bought [agorazo] with a price [time – Tim in whom God dwells, Tim {time} the man of God]: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

14 And God has both raised [egeiro] up the LORD, and will also raise [exegeiro – through His rising raise] up us by his own power [dunamis].

The manner of His coming (appearing to the conscious) is what occurs in the title (Luke 7:16) passage: one raised (“Arising”) from the dead, and by it the people knowing the one doing it “is risen” from the dead, even though they don’t know who it is that has risen: who is the LORD yet unknown veiled in flesh. (1 Corinthians 15: 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.)

Luke 7
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain [Beauty, from the twelve times used Hebrew word na’ah, telling of the houses of God taken captive by the destroyers]; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city were with her.
13 And when the LORD saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier [soros]: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto you, Arise [egeiro].
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up [egeiro] among us; and, That God has visited his people.
17 And this rumor of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
18 And the disciples of John showed him of all these things.
19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Are you he that should come? or look we for another?
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist has sent us unto you, saying, Are you he that should come? or look we for another?
21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things you have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised [egeiro], to the poor the gospel is preached [the power that raises those who believe].
23 And blessed [by the Father with life] is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

1 Corinthians 7
22 For he that is called in the LORD, being a servant, is the LORD’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.
23 You are bought [agorazo] with a price [time – Tim of God: Timothy]; be not you the servants of men.
24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

Colossians 1
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That you might walk worthy of the LORD unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might [dunamis], according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light [strengthened by His power, giving us wisdom, understanding, and the knowledge of God which raise us into His ONE BODY by giving us His ONE MIND]:
13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness [ignorance], and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption [have been bought] through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23 If you continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Timothy am made a minister;
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings [the blood and cross of the LORD in me] for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his [ONE] body’s sake, which is the church:
25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation [oikonomia, “economy,” His word deposited in me to be dispensed as willed] of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God;
26 Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles [among those who don’t know Him]; which is Christ in you, the hope of [His] glory [revealed through us]:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily [dunamis].

Ephesians 1
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation [oikonomia] of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest [the deposit] of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the LORD Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 That the God of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power [dunamis] to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might [dunamis], and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
22 And has put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Ephesians 3
2 If you have heard of the dispensation [oikonomia – the deposit] of the grace of God which is given me [to be distributed] to you-ward:
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles [who don’t know God] should be fellow-heirs, and of the same [ONE] body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working [when His word is received as the word God, as it is] of his power [dunamis].
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our LORD:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore I desire that you faint not at my tribulations [thlipsis] for you, which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might [dunamis] by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power [dunamis] that works in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Friends, the LORD comes to restore us when He sees that our power is gone, as it is written in Deuteronomy 32:36.

Deuteronomy 32
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongs vengeance and recompense [see Romans 12:19 above]; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings [the false priests {gods} of Daniel 14:14 thru 22 – false priests whose footsteps in the ashes {of the world} show they are men {consuming the offering made to their idol put in God’s place} and not gods]? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O you nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

The word rendered “redemption,” above in Colossians 1:14 and Ephesians 1:7 & 14, of the purchased possessions (in context – Christ’s servants {slaves} in 1 Corinthians 7:22 above), according to His grace, is from the ten (ordinal perfection) times used Greek word apolutrosis. Its meaning is “from a compound of 575 and 3083; (the act) ransom in full, i.e. (figuratively) riddance, or (specially) Christian salvation:–deliverance, redemption.”

The word (3083) it’s compounded from is the twice used word lutron, meaning “from 3089; something to loosen with, i.e. a redemption price (figuratively, atonement):–ransom.” The word it’s from is luo (3089), meaning “to lossen.” It (apolutrosis) is, by this understanding, seen to be the same as the word apoluo, the word rendered “set at liberty” when describing Timothy in Hebrews 13:23, the last of the seventy times it appears.

The following, ending with Ezekiel 28, is the ending portion of the post from 29 June 2018, with addition for clarity:

Hebrews 9
1 Then truly the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the sanctuary.
3 And after the second veil [seeing beyond the second flesh], the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all [into the manifestation of the presence of God];
4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna [the word from the mouth of God, by which man live – Deuteronomy 8:3], and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5 And over it the cherubims of glory [depicting the message spoken face to face] shadowing the mercy-seat [the conversation in which His glory and presence are manifested to those who receive it as the word from His mouth]; of which we cannot now speak particularly [because they are the seven thunders reserved for this moment and this purpose].
6 Now when these things were thus ordained [thoroughly prepared], the priests went always into the first tabernacle [as the pattern of the flesh of Jesus Christ the LORD who died for us], accomplishing the service of God.
7 But into the second [I Am] went the high priest [now in the order of Melchisedec] alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest [as it is now], while as the first tabernacle (His first body) was yet standing:
9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience [perfecting the conscience];
10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation [spoken of by James, recorded in Acts 15:13 thru 21].
11 But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building [but of His New ONE BODY, of which I Am the firstfruits];
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [lutrosis] for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ [now poured out, “By a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;” Hebrews 10:20], who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 And for this cause he is the mediator [mesites – internunciator] of the new testament [established in the LORD Jesus Christ], that by means of death, for the redemption [apolutrosis] of the transgressions that were under the first testament [not seeing the presence of God], they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance [which is joined as ONE with God].
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator [and I remain dead until your resurrection from the dead and we are joined in ONE BODY with Him, in the air, the clarity only He gives].
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator lives.
18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God has enjoined [entellomai – gave commandment and charge] unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these [see and understand this in what is said in Hebrews 12:24 – 29, of the voice being heard from heaven – when you’ve come to the mediator who is speaking and shaking heaven and earth, which the LORD charges you not to refuse His word spoken from heaven].
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true [which is the presence of God]; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entered into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world has he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time [here and now] without sin unto salvation.

Friends, those who have studied here for a while know Hebrews is written to introduce Timothy, the first outsider, into the New priesthood. It was written to the Hebrews who wanted to remain with the Levitical letter of the law instead of understanding the pattern it showed and was intended to achieve. Hebrews 13:23 tells of Timothy being set at “liberty,” from the seventy times used word apoluo (apolelumenon in the text), used the seventieth and last time here. It is the word used in the gospels to tell of Pilate having the power to “set free” the LORD from the sentence of death. Hebrews 13:23 is referring to Timothy as the one set free from the law by death (of the old nature and raised up in the order of Melchisedec), as it is written in the final verses of Hebrews 9 above.

Friends, I say again, Christ is risen in me, by His own power (I Am become who I Am become), according to the scriptures.

Ezekiel 28
25 Thus says the LORD God; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.

Acts 15
6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, you know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Now therefore why tempt you God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
14 Simeon has declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17 That the residue of men might seek after the LORD, and all the Gentiles [those who don’t know Me], upon whom my name is called, says the LORD, who does all these things.
18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them [with vain traditions and old wives’ tales], which from among the Gentiles [who don’t know God] are turned to God:

When the above (verses 16 & 17) appears in Amos 9:11 & 12, those above said to not know God but are called by His name (Christians and Jews), are called the remnant of Edom. As we understand, Edom represents enemies mixed among us, trying to destroy us and our better culture while claiming to be our countrymen and brothers.

As we are experiencing, in this nation void of God’s word the truth is destroyed by false prophets and false teachers among us. They’ve mired and obscured understanding with their endless spewing of the delusional insanity, reversing all meaning, corrupting all discourse, and we (this nation under God) have become the actual tower of Babel now fallen (as Bandon has fallen). This fall is into the darkness (ignorance) and the condemnation (krisis – the choice of it) the LORD speaks of, in which they continue, even after understanding (light) has come. These men destroyed the world, rejecting known (obvious) salvation, and choose to continue in darkness (spewing insanity – the opposite of reality they force on the sane) because their deeds are evil. In this choice, they condemn themselves to hell.

Amos 9
1 I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that flee of them shall not flee away, and he that escape of them shall not be delivered.
2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent [the deadly word of the men they continue to follow], and he shall bite them:
4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and [because they reject this word] I will set mine eyes upon them for evil [they choose to follow], and not for good [this truth they reject].
5 And the LORD God of hosts is he that touches the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
6 It is he that builds his stories in the heaven [by His full understanding], and has founded his troop in the earth [His army who receives Him]; he that calleth for the waters [bringing into the light the words of wicked men] of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.
7 Are you not as children of the Ethiopians [covered in darkness] unto me, O children of Israel? says the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt [haven’t I freed them from the words, the misleading of their oppressors]? and the Philistines [the invading enemy army among us] from Caphtor [whose king sits crowned and ruling over you], and the Syrians [those who exalt themselves and their words above God] from Kir [whose lies upon lies are the wall they and you trust in, separating you from God]?
8 Behold, the eyes of the LORD God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says the LORD.
9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof [reestablishing the king line and gathering all God’s people again into ONE BODY under one king of God’s choosing]; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom [the enemies mixed among us, claiming they are our brothers and countrymen at peace with us, as they are at war destroying our nation and better culture], and of all the heathen [who don’t really know me], which are called by my name, says the LORD that does this.
13 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper [plowing under the current corrupt crop of leaders], and the treader of grapes [of wrath] him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, says the LORD your God.

Psalms 99
1 The LORD reigns; let the people tremble: he sits between the cherubims [where He manifests His presence]; let the earth be moved.
2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.
3 Let them praise your great and terrible name; for it is holy.
4 The king’s strength also loveth judgment; you do establish equity, you execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt you the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
6 Moses [those pulled from the waters below] and Aaron [those who bring this light] among his priests, and Samuel [those who hear this voice as the voice of God, as it is] among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
7 He spoke unto them in the cloudy pillar [from where His understanding is held]: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
8 You answered them, O LORD our God: you are a God that forgave them, though you took vengeance of their inventions.
9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
