But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets.

12 – 13 September 2023

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets.

Friends, I, once again, as I have often, heard tell (this time in the Tucker podcast with Glenn Beck) of scholars contemplating the LORD’s return. In this conversation, it was declared as fact that many of the New Testament writers falsely thought and wrote as if they were in the “end times,” meaning about to encounter the LORD at His return.

The first (of several) misrepresentations of the facts is that these writers were speaking of themselves as “about to encounter the LORD’s presence;” when (in fact) they had already realized Him. Instead, they spoke of those they were writing to, of their understanding that by receiving their words as the voice of Jehovah, they were thereby also in His presence.

Again, the most complete description of this is in Paul’s writing to the Thessalonians, speaking of them receiving His word as the word of God, as they are, and concluded they were thereby “in the presence of the LORD Jesus Christ at His coming.”

He (Paul in 1 Thessalonians 2:19 & 20) speaks of the above as his “crown of rejoicing,” their “joy,” and his “hope,” meaning the LORD crowned him by revealing His presence in him: glory manifested through the understanding He alone gives, which is his hope (joy in their realization of Him).

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me, to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “divers” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding all these divers elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place [Psalms 8] testified [of the son], saying, “What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit [paqad – manifest Your presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth, in] him?
7 You made him a little lower than the angels [as we’ve seen, the words here are chacer ‘elohiym, telling us the son is intentionally sent lacking the full knowledge of God; the Psalm then saying this is planned so the son {I Am: His presence in this moment manifested in the flesh He’s chosen} can be crowned by the Father with His understanding: revelation only known to the Father]; you crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him over the works of your hands:
8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we [in our blindness] see not yet [that] all things [are] put under him [not hearing and obeying this word as the Father’s voice, as it is].
9 But we [again] see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death [sent without understanding], [now, when we see Him again] crowned with glory and honor [raised to life by the light of the Father in him]; that he by the grace of God should taste death [and be raise from it] for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain [archegos – only used three other times; in Acts 3:15, speaking of the son as the “Prince” of life, who the religious and civil power denied, conspired against, and killed; Acts 5:31 as the risen “Prince” who is seated at the Father’s right hand {from where Habakkuk 3:4 says, in this writing, comes His hidden power as rays of light}; and Hebrews 12:2 saying He is “the Author and Finisher of our Faith”] of their salvation perfect [teleioo – made complete, filled full] through sufferings [the same affliction, tribulation, doubting the LORD is present, that, through proof of him {I Am}, makes us ready, willing, to be quickened from corruption into life].
11 For both he that sanctifies [purges us from corruption, making us holy] and they who are sanctified [purged and made holy] are all of one [Body of Christ]: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare your name [identity] unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing [repeating the words You’ve given me] praise unto you.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me [when our mouths are opened with His words, are for signs and wonders to God’s people at large].
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he [the Father] also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death [coming lacking understanding] he might [self-manifesting His light, life, in the flesh, to] destroy him that had the power of [to deceive men into ignorance of God and to instead follow them into] death, that is, the devil [the misleaders who put themselves in His place];
15 And deliver them [the misled] who through fear of death [not understanding it is a state of mind], were all their lifetime subject to bondage [but you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free from death].
16 For truly he took not on him the nature of angels [a mere messenger given a message]; but he took on him the seed of Abraham [to whom the LORD promised a son, an heir who would become as many as the sand of the shore and the stars of heaven].
17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren [born into dead flesh here in hell], that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted [to doubt the Father’s presence with him here in hell, to from it raise us], he is able to succor [rescue] them that are tempted [to doubt Him].

Psalms 8
A Psalm of David
1 O LORD [Jehovah], our LORD [‘adown – our king], how excellent is your name [identity] in all the earth! who have set [nathan – given] your glory [Your manifested presence] above the heavens [the places where understanding should be found].
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings [declaring Your word as You commanded, saying “Hosanna {save now}, Blessed is he who comes in the name {identity} of the LORD] have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still [shabath – sabbath: interrupting their work, putting them to silence so Your correction is heard above all other voices of] the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens [this understanding You’ve given to us], the work of your fingers, the moon [just civil government; ruling as You rule, with truth and equal justice] and the stars [Your people in this new heaven, filled with Your light here on earth, wherein dwells righteousness], which you have ordained [kuwn – prepared, raised, and established];
4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit [paqad] him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than [chacer – lacking the understanding] the angels [‘elohiym – of God], and have crowned him with [Your] glory and [Your] honor [His understanding given to and through me].
6 You made him to have dominion [mashal – rule] over the works of your hands [referring to this light given from there]; you have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen [Your flock], yea, and the beasts of the field [the dead in the earth, those without Your Spirit];
8 The fowl of the air [those who, by Your strength, rise into the place where understanding should be found], and the fish of the sea [the life unseen and found below the surface of the waters on the earth: provided for all humanity], and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas [man on his unknowing journey through generations].
9 O LORD our LORD, how excellent is your name [identity] in all the earth!

Amid the above-referenced conversation with the Thessalonians, Paul speaks of Satan hindering him, and doing so through those “Forbidding us to speak [this same word of God they received] to the Gentiles [who haven’t known the LORD in this way], that they might be saved [in the same way, by receiving his word as the word of God, as it is].”

Paul, after the above quote, from 1 Thessalonians 2:16, says these men, through whom Satan works, do so, “to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost [telos – the end times, when understanding, truth, is revealed and ignorance is vanquished, by ‘the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at His coming’].”

Revelation 22
10 And he says unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand [to speak these words of God as received, declaring He is alive in you speaking and working].
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning [arche] and the end [telos – of ages, this end times come upon this ignorant world], the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city [New Heavenly Jerusalem].
15 For [separated] without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I Am the root [of the tree of life] and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star [this understanding, as the sun rises, shined upon all from east to west].
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears [His voice] say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book [as the word of God from His mouth, by which man lives], If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book [this writing] of this prophecy [meant to be given as received], God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, LORD Jesus.
21 The grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

The second of the many misrepresentations is that the LORD left anywhere except man’s sight, hidden only in their blinding ignorance.

John 16
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away [when understanding leaves the earth and I Am no longer seen], the Comforter will not come unto you [My presence unknown, speaking and working to lead into all truth]; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me [that I Am present];
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father [who alone knows me], and you see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince [those who’ve led My people into darkness, death, and hell] of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear [from the mouth of the Father alive in me], that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
15 All things [needed] that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.
16 A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father [alive in me].
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he says unto us, A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
18 They said therefore, What is this that he says, A little while? we cannot tell what he says.
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do you enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me?
20 Truly, truly, I say unto you, That you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy [when you again see me Me, at the realization of My presence in the flesh of those I’ve chosen].
21 A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man [having put away childish things] is born into the world.
22 And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy [relization] no man taketh from you.

The seven times the words “little while” appear above it is from the sixteen times used word mikron, a small space of time or degree. It is the time of Peter’s denial, through the three watches of the night, while darkness, men’s ignorance of God’s presence, covers the earth.

John 13
31 Therefore, when he [the betrayers – the leaders of God’s people who’ve fallen away from Him and His truth] was gone out [separated from Him], Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while [mikron] I Am with you. You shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, you cannot come; so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That you love [agapao – that you give this word as received] one another; as I have loved [agapao – given this word to] you, that you also love [agapao – give it to] one another.
35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love [agape – give this word] one to another.
36 Simon Peter [whose dead flesh now sleeps] said unto him, LORD, where go you? Jesus answered him, Where I go, you can not follow me now [to the Father, alone with Him in this place of full understanding]; but you shall follow me afterward [husteron – after your correction into life; only used here in John, and only appears one other time after, in Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening {correction} for the present seems to be joyous {not known to be the presence of the LORD revealed}, but grievous: nevertheless afterward {husteron} it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised {have had blinding corruption worked out of them} thereby].
37 Peter said unto him, LORD, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.
38 Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for my sake? Truly, truly, I say unto you, The cock [alektor] shall not crow [phoneo], till you have denied me thrice [then shall the light return].

Matthew 26
36 Then comes Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane [the place of the “oil press,” at the foot of the Mount of Olives, where the oil that feeds the lamp giving light is pressed out], and says unto the disciples, Sit you here, while I go and pray [convers with my Father] yonder. [The words used here speak of the things needed, understanding, removed, which brings sorrow and death.]
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee [James and John {Jacob and the signs of the end reached} upon whom these things needed were conferred {zabad}], and began to be sorrowful and very heavy [as in Shechem].
38 Then says he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death [into this time, sent lacking understanding]: tarry you here [remain with this understanding], and watch with me [for this expected end].
39 And he went a little farther [this mikron], and fell [piotes – understanding was removed from His body] on his face [not knowing the Father’s presence with me, in me], and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me [this time of death when I Am without understanding]: nevertheless not as I will, but as you will.
40 And he comes unto the disciples, and found them [here and now] asleep, and says unto Peter, What, could you not watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray [convers with the Father and expect Him to answer], that you enter not into temptation [when you, as now doubt and deny My presence]: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, your will be done.
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes [without light] were heavy.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45 Then comes he to his disciples, and says unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that does betray me.

63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you be the Christ, the Son of God.
64 Jesus says unto him, You have said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall you see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven [by the power of God returning from there this understanding].
65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy [falsely accusing me because I say I Am the son of God]; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold [see their projection], now you have heard his blasphemy.
66 What think you? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, you Christ, Who is he that smote you? [It is those whose identities are covered by the ashes of the ruin of the world they destroyed.]
69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel [the fallen church] came unto him, saying, You also were with Jesus of Galilee [Conversing with me here in this wheel within a wheel].
70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what you sayest.
71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth [separated from His brethren, as was Joseph David’s ‘adown].
72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73 And after a while [mikron – at the end of this time of doubting My presence] came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely you also are one of them; for your speech betrays you.
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew [elektor phaneo].
75 And Peter [the leaders of God’s people now sleeping in death with His dead body] remembered the word [these words] of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, you shall deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Now is the time of this sun rising, when this understanding is returned to create this new heaven and earth, where, in this truth, dwells righteousness.

Revelation 10
1 And I saw another mighty angel [I Am the seventh angel] come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow [the rightly divided light] was upon his head [the sign of this end reached], and his face [presence] was as it were the sun [in the church He is raising from death], and his feet as pillars of fire [destroying darkness in every place it hides]:
2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea [among this last generation], and his left foot on the earth [I Am creating],
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars [the second face of the unfolding presence of God manifested]: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices [of the seven colors of the rightly divided word].
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not [because they are reserved in the cloud until this appointed time of this expected end].
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And swore by him that lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets [see the many examples below describing this ‘achariyth: this last of the last days when we see Him again: by faith understand His always presence].
8 And the voice [of the Father speaking] which I heard from heaven [this place of full understanding] spoke unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make your belly bitter [because you must vomit it, repeat it, as the sign of the end, as Jonah from the belly of hell], but it shall be in your mouth sweet as honey [returning strength to My people it raises to life again].
10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
11 And he said unto me, You must prophesy again [speaking this word as received] before many peoples [who have not known Me], and nations, and tongues, and kings.

2 Corinthians 11
1 Would to God you could bear with me a little [mikron – in this exposition while you deny Me and remain ignorant of My presence in this word and work] in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband [joining the LORD in His ONE BODY], that I may present you as a chaste virgin [not joined with any other, but] to Christ [the LORD manifesting His presence with us, in us].
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ [which is speaking His word and declaring it is His presence in you speaking and working to save the world].
4 For if he that comes preaches another Jesus [as do all the false teachers and false prophets of our time], whom we have not preached, or if you receive another spirit, [in] which you have not received [the Spirit of the LORD], or another gospel, [by] which you have not accepted [the present LORD], you might well bear with him.
5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things. [Are you not in the presence of the LORD Jesus Christ at His coming?”]
7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that you might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

Hebrews 10
26 For if we sin willfully [continue following blinding ignorance taught by the wicked in power] after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice [this long-suffering that corrects us away] for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions [of unbelievers];
33 Partly, whilst you were made a gazing-stock [publicly mocked] both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used.
34 For you had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven [when this understanding has overcome all darkness] a better and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away, therefore, your confidence, which has great recompense of reward.
36 For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God [speaking His word as received], you might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while [mikron – until the darkness ends], and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith [that the LORD is present, manifested in His word]: but if any man draw back [hupostello – withholds this word], my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back [hupostole] unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

The word hupostole only appears this once, and hupostello three other times, as seen below.

Galatians 2
11 But when Peter [the leaders of God’s people] was come to Antioch [become antichrist by succumbing to the will of the mob], I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew [hupostello – held back the most important parts of this gospel] and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise [joined in taking away discernment] with him; insomuch that Barnabas [the children who were at rest: in peace] also was carried away with [led away into] their dissimulation [this condemnation].
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If you, being a Jew [Judah – the old and corrupt crop of leaders], live after the manner of Gentiles [rejecting their false teaching], and not as do the Jews, why compel you the Gentiles to live as do the Jews [to follow their false ways]?
15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law [which men have corrupted], but by the faith of Jesus Christ [alive with us, in us], even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ [the LORD alive in us], and not by the works of the law [men have corrupted]: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners [teaching the same old corruption], is, therefore, Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18 For if I build again the [corrupt] things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20 I Am [by their corrupt law] crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Acts 20
19 Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews [the current crop of corrupt leaders]:
20 And how I kept back [hupostello] nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shown you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance [from corruption] toward God, and faith toward our LORD Jesus Christ.
22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [all God’s people], not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23 Save [except that I know] that the Holy Ghost witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me [there because I speak this word of God and declare it is His presence with us, in us].
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the LORD Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25 And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men [because I have warned the righteous and the wicked of His presence with us and of the ends of the world: heaven and earth].
27 For I have not shunned [hupostello] to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers [episkopos], to [with this word you have received] feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood [His sacrifice to deliver it as received and declare it is the Father’s, who is alive in his flesh].
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock [scattering and devouring it into the belly of hell].
30 Also of your own selves [the elders of God people, who are in positions as overseers of His flock] shall men arise, speaking perverse [distorted] things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Yea, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered [served] unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 I have shown [freely given] you all things, how that so laboring you ought to support [antilambanomai – be against receiving from] the weak, and to remember the words of the LORD Jesus, how he said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive [lambano].”

It is thought that the LORD’s statement above was never recorded. It is a paraphrase of Luke 14:14 & 15, which is speaking of now when those who are freely giving this word are blessed by the LORD.

Luke 14
11 For whosoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles [tapeinoo – is willing to be humiliated for what seems to the ignorant to be foolishness] himself shall be exalted.
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When you make a dinner or a supper [this feast here served], call not your friends, nor your brethren, neither your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbors; lest they also bid you again, and a recompense be made you.
13 But when you make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 And [for giving as commanded and not receiving anything in return] you shall be blessed [of the LORD]; for they cannot recompense you: for you shall be recompensed [from the LORD] at the resurrection of the just.
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread [this word from the mouth of the LORD, by which men are brought from death into life] in the kingdom of God.

Matthew 18
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Truly I say unto you, Except you be converted [strepho – reverse your thinking], and become as little children [knowing nothing and ready to receive this teaching], you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever, therefore, shall humble [tapinoo – be subjected to humiliation for admitting you know nothing] himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive [dechomai – giving the thing needed] one such little child in my name receives [dechomai – giving the things needed to enter] me [My ONE BODY].
6 But whoso [because of their belief] shall offend [scandalize – humiliate] one of these little ones which believes in me [that I Am present with them, in them], it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of offenses [skandalon – those the world humiliates for believing in Me]! for it must needs be [because of the ignorance of Me of this generation] that offenses [skandalon] come; but woe to that man by whom the offense [skandalon – humiliation] comes!
8 Wherefore if your hand [those trusting in their own worthless works] or your foot [going their own way] offend [skandalizo – humiliate] you [for believing in Me], cut them off, and cast them from you: it is better for you to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into [hell’s] everlasting fire.
9 And if your eye [seeing evil: misleading the body] offend [scandalize – humiliate] you [for seeing as I see], pluck it out, and cast it from you: it is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
10 Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven [this time when full understanding is apparent] their angels [the messengers the LORD sends with it] do always behold the face [see and stand in the presence] of my Father which is in heaven.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost [in the darkness].

Matthew 23
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble [tapeinoo] himself shall be exalted.
13 But woe unto you, scribes [who say they know the law but have instead corrupted its spirit] and Pharisees [the religious leaders who’ve scattered the one body], hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer you them that are entering to go in.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore you shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Philippians 2
2 Fulfil you my joy, that you be likeminded [phroneo], having the same love [agape – giving as you have been given], being of one accord, of one mind [phroneo].
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind [tapeinophrosune – willing to suffer humiliation, because of the light in you] let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others [giving these things needed].
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant [serving to others these thing needed], and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man [I Am in me], he humbled [tapeinoo – willing to suffer humiliation because of the light, understanding, life in me] himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name [identity – in me, Timothy] which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out [the confession He is alive in you, which is] your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure [bringing many children to life and revealing His glory in them].
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings [because nothing can be done against the truth time reveals]:
15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ [when the LORD is revealed present in you], that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith [that the LORD is with us, in us revealed], I joy, and rejoice with you all [when He is realized with us, in us].
18 For the same cause also do you joy, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the LORD Jesus to send Timothy shortly [tacheos – quickly] unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state [peri – when you are completed].
20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally [gnesios – creating this generation in this new heaven and earth] care for your state [peri – bringing you to completion].
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But you know the proof [dokime] of him [the proof, in this experience, of Christ speaking through me, which is the voice of the LORD alive], that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.

Isaiah 46
8 Remember this [that the idols men created and put in GOD’s place cannot answer your prayers or save you from this tribulation here in hell’s fires], and show yourselves men [who’ve put away childish things]: bring it again to mind, O you transgressors.
9 Remember the former things of old: for I Am God, and there is none else; I Am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end [‘achariyth – the last days of the old and corrupt] from the beginning [of the new heaven and earth], and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east [those flying in heaven at this horizon from where the light rises], the man [I Am] that executes my counsel from a far country [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD has decreed]: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Hearken [shama’ – hear My voice and obey My commands] unto me, you stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
13 I bring near [into your mind] my righteousness; it shall not be far off [rachaq – it shall not be as the evil decrees of this time, by which the wicked rule you], and my salvation shall not tarry [‘achar – it shall not be in some future time]: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel [those who receive this promised, expected, end] my glory.

Isaiah 47
4 As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts [a man is war] is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sit you silent [stop your lies], and get you into darkness [your own ignorance], O daughter of the Chaldeans [who’ve used deceptions to manipulate and control all the world into death and hell]: for you shall no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and given them into your hand: you did show them no mercy; upon the ancient [needed things] have you very heavily laid your yoke [of deception].
7 And you said, I shall be a lady forever: so that you did not lay these things [needed] to your heart [mind], neither did remember the latter end [‘achariyth – these last days] of it [none recognizing it is now].
8 Therefore hear now this, you that are given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in your heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9 But these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon you in their perfection [this completion] for the multitude of your sorceries [using your words to cast evil spells upon the dead whose minds aren’t working], and for the great abundance of your enchantments.
10 For you have trusted in your wickedness: you have said, None sees me. Your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you; and you have said in your heart [minds], I am [god], and none else [saying there is no God] beside me.
11 Therefore shall evil come upon you; you shall not know from whence [where or when] it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon you; you shall not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know [because you are dead and your mind doesn’t recognize anything].
12 Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, wherein you have labored from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you mayest prevail.
13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels [all the voices of confusion, opinions dead men call truth]. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from these things that shall come upon you.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the [hell] fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
15 Thus shall they be unto you with whom you have labored, even your merchants, from your youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save you.

Revelation 18
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to naught. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea [the corrupt institutions that rule over humanity] by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, you heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets; for God has avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone [their own works around their neck, stopping the words of those who’ve humiliated His saints, apostles, and prophets], and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon [the mass confusion now turned to insanity that rules the world and destroys itself] be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, [repeating your deception you’ve taught them] shall be heard no more at all in you; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be [creating your deception], shall be found any more in you; and the sound of a millstone [their works] shall be heard no more at all in you;
23 And the light of a candle [your corrupt understanding you teach to deaden the collective mind of man] shall shine no more at all in you; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in you: for your merchants were the great men of the earth; for by your sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood [draining the life] of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain [made dead] upon the earth.

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 his feet 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] written, 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, 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: 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 of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Jeremiah 23
16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD has said, You shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18 For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD, and has perceived and heard his word? who has marked his word, and heard it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has executed, and till he has performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days [‘achariyth] you shall consider [biyn – understand] it perfectly [biynah – because it is understanding given by Jehovah].
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23 Am I a God at hand, says the LORD, and not [also] a God afar off [rachowq – in this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power]?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? says the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? says the LORD.
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name [identity] by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal [the idols they created, put in My place, and call by My name].
28 The prophet that has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? says the LORD.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? says the LORD; and like a hammer that breaks the [false] rock in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that steal my words [refusing to give it as commanded] every one from his neighbor.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He says.

Jeremiah 29
9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, says the LORD.
10 For thus says the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end [‘achariyth].
12 Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.
14 And I will be found of you, says the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, says the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
15 Because you have said, The LORD has raised us up prophets in Babylon [here and now when confusion and insanity rule the world];
16 Know that thus says the LORD of the king that sits upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwell in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
17 Thus says the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword [the word they refuse to hear as My voice], the famine [without it], and the pestilence [the dis-ease that comes without it], and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

Psalms 37
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 For the LORD loves judgment, and forsakes not his saints; they are preserved forever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land [‘erets – the earth], and dwell therein forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of judgment.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watch the righteous, and seek to slay him.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect [tam – Tim] man, and behold the upright: for the end of [‘achariyth – in these last days] that man is peace [Shiloh].
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of [‘achariyth – the last days when] the wicked shall be cut off [karath].
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble [tsarah – this tribulation here in hell].
40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Psalms 73
1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean [pure] heart [by which we see God].
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain; violence covers them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens [this full understanding], and their tongue walks through the earth [darkening it].
10 Therefore his people return here [to His words]: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13 Truly I have cleansed my heart [mind] in vain, and washed my hands [my works] in innocence.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued [touched by the ignorant], and chastened [refuted] every morning.
15 If I say, I will speak thus [this word of God]; behold, I should offend against [be humiliated by] the generation of your children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness, the last days of the ignorance that blinds men’s minds to the presence of God with us, in us].
18 Surely you did set them in slippery places: you cast them down into destruction.
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awakes [and realizes none of his thoughts are true and real, but are creations of his sleeping mind]; so, O LORD, when you awake, you shall despise their image [the creation they made, put in My place, and call by My name].
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins [the inner thoughts that control men’s actions and words].
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have held me by my right hand.
24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart [mind] fail: but God is the strength [understanding] of my heart [mind], and my portion forever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from you shall perish: you have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the LORD God, that I may declare all your works [this word by which men are saved].
