4 – 7 December 2024
The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
Friends, you who know the present LORD, His will is above (Isaiah 32:4), speaking of the repentance of those once quick to condemn me for declaring His truth, who now understand with us that it is His presence manifested for this purpose.
Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king [truly I Am] shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
2 And a man [I Am, a man of war] shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest [the storms of misleading agitating all humanity]; [and the word of God from Him through me flows] as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great Rock [from where these waters flow, in which men can trust] in a weary land.
3 And the eyes of them that see [as the LORD sees] shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear [shama’ – and obey] shall hearken [qashab – letting His word pierce their ears and enter their minds, hearing His voice shall see His presence].
4 The heart [minds] also of the rash [mahar – speaking of those being quickened to finish the work, meaning “to be liquid or flow easily, i.e. (by implication); to hurry (in a good or a bad sense); often used (with another verb) adverbially, promptly”] shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers [‘illeg – those repeating their own unintelligible words] shall be ready [mahar – are quickened] to speak [this word] plainly.
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal [as they are], nor the churl [kiylay – those withholding this word] said to be bountiful.
6 For the vile person will [be understood to be] speak[ing] villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl [kiylay – those withholding this word] are evil: he devises wicked devices to destroy the poor [those without worldly power] with lying words, even when the needy [the lowly] speak right [giving this word as commanded].
8 But the liberal devises liberal things [freely giving these words as receives, as commanded]; and by liberal things shall he stand [for all humanity].
9 Rise up, you women [wise virgins] that are at ease [sleeping, not doing the LORD’s work as commanded]; hear my voice [here, as it is], you careless daughters; give ear unto my speech [obey, be a doer not just a hearer].
10 Many days and years shall you be troubled, you careless women [not doing the LORD’s work]: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
11 Tremble [be shaken, to shake the wicked from you], you women that are at ease; be troubled, you careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
12 They shall lament for the teats [long for the teaching that raises children], for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers [the misleader and deceivers who’ve now come among you misleading all]; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city [that once knew my presence]:
14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken [without just leadership]; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens [the belly of the earth where beasts lodge, the habitation of the dead without My Spirit] forever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
15 Until the spirit [of the LORD] be poured upon us from on high [to finish the work and cut it short], and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness [this now desolated earth], and righteousness remains in the fruitful field [where My people sow this word].
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace [of all the new earth I Am creating]; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19 When it shall hail [this word frozen, reserved, in heaven, sent in this time of war, against the current crop of corrupt and incorrigible leaders], coming down on the forest [the corrupt the world calls upright]; and the city shall be low in a low place [in hell].
20 Blessed are you that sow [this word, giving it as commanded] beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass [doing the work; and carrying this word].
Can men who have been antichrists be saved? With the LORD, all things are possible.
Do not wrestle with His word, this word, to your own destruction (apoleia – perdition).
2 Peter 3
3 Knowing this first, that there shall [have] come in the last days scoffers [not believing the LORD is present with us, in us], walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep [into death], all things continue as they were from the beginning of the [old] creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God [this same word of God] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved [for this appointed time of the LORD’s just war against the darkness] unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is [always with us, hidden only in men’s ignorance] longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men] shall melt with fervent heat, the [old corrupt] earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].
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 powers 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, the daka’, 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 which 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].
As seen in previous posts, the number (666) of man, speaks of the number assigned to the Hebrew word ‘apher by James Strong in the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary. (Yes, It’s that simple.)
The word only appears twice, both speaking of the “ashes” that cover the faces of the prophet(s), speaking the word they say are the LORD’s. It is speaking of them as antichrist, speaking against Him with their own words they claim are His, until they make haste (mahar) and remove the ashes (the evidence of the ruin of the old and now ended world that was without this word heard).
Psalms 25
8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 The meek [who, showing the LORD’s mercy, choose to correct and not destroy] will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For your name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.
12 What man is he that fears the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.
In context:
1 Kings 20
28 And there came a man of God, and spoke unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus says the LORD, Because the Syrians have [limiting the LORD’s presence which they experienced] said, The LORD is God of the hills [against the wicked in power], but he is not God of the valleys [the lowly people at large], therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
29 And they pitched one over against the other [preparing for war] seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day [this time] the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians [those who exalt their words above this word of God] a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek [with affinity to ‘apher, this speaks of the end {‘ephec} of the antichrists whose words {the ashes of the earth’s ruin in which they hide} are exalted above this word of God], into the city; and there a wall [of lies] fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad [the sons, children, of the false gods {false prophets} whose mouths are the gates holding all in death and hell] fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
31 And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are [I Am a] merciful kings: let us, I pray you, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save your life.
32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Your servant Benhadad says, I pray you, let me live. And he [knowing they are the dead] said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
33 Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it [that I, as did Joseph, call them my brothers]: and they said, Your brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go you, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34 And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from your father, I will restore; and you shall make streets [restoring the LORD’s high way, in His word and work] for you in Damascus [where the LORD’s people are silent and in sorrow], as my father made in Samaria [exalting the voices of devils who told the people their idols were the LORD God]. Then said Ahab [no name appears here in the original text], I [the LORD] will send you away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him [that these children of the false prophets will exalt this word they once opposed, and thereby save themselves from perdition], and sent him away [to do this].
35 And a certain man of the sons [children] of the [false] prophets said unto his neighbor in the word of the LORD, Smite me [for My falsely speaking in the LORD’s name], I pray you. And the man refused to smite him.
36 Then said he unto him, Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion [the second face of the LORD’s unfolding presence, a man roaring His word] shall slay you. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me [for false words in the LORD’s name], I pray you. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him. [the words rendered “smite” and “wounded” are nakah and patsa’, which only appear one other time together, in Song of Solomon 5:7, saying “The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote {nakah} me, they wounded {patsa’} me; the keepers of the walls {of lies} took away my veil {the ashes of the earth ruin} from me.]
38 So the [false] prophet[s] departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes {‘apher – 666, the mark of antichrists} upon his face.
39 And as the king passed by [‘abar – passed from death into life], he [the children of the false prophets] cried unto the king [I Am]: and he said, Your servant [the prophets] went out into the midst of the battle [this war now at hand]; and, behold, a man turned aside [that should have smitten them for their false words in the LORD’s name], and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing [and not smite me], then shall your life be for his life [not known because it’s covering in their lies that remain], or else you shall pay a talent of silver [and your life shall be the price of their betrayal].
40 And as your servant was busy here and there [not diligently keeping the LORD’s word pure and uncorrupted], he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall your judgment be; yourself have decided it.
41 And he [the false prophets] hasted [mahar], and took the ashes [‘apher – the ruin, false words, blinding the world] away from his face; and the king [I Am] of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
42 And he said unto him, Thus says the LORD, Because you have let go out of your hand a man [who refused to smite the false prophets for their false words] whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
43 And the king of Israel [I Am] went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria [against the place where these false prophets put their creation in God’s place and tell His people their lies are their gods].
1 Samuel 2
2 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside you: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren has born seven; and she that has many children is waxed feeble.
6 The LORD kills, and makes alive: he brings down to the grave [sheol – hell], and brings up.
7 The LORD makes poor, and makes rich: he brings low, and lifts up.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust [the ruin of the old earth], and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he has set the [new] world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness [in their ignorance]; for by [human] strength shall no man prevail.
10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder [this voice] upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends [‘ephec] of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new, building it upon the ruin, ashes, of the old]; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn [the power to rule] of his anointed.
The LORD, through the word ‘ephec, leads us, as only He can, into a deeper understanding of this moment as it relates to His commandment that we declare His presence in this word He is speaking. It is by this word, His word, He takes vengeance on His enemies; destroying them and the darkness they’ve chosen and wrought.
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 [‘achariyth]!
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; 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 [‘ephec – in this end time, when the old heaven and earth are in ruin, when the earth is without form {tohuw} and void {bohuw}, confused {tohuw} and empty {bohuw}] shut up ‘[‘atsar – and none are gathering God’s people], or left [with understanding].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their [false] rock [from whom worthless words flow] in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection. [As we know, this alludes to an Apocryphal chapter of Daniel which tells of priests who proved their idols were real by placing sacrifices offered to them in a locked room, and when it was unlocked, the sacrifices were consumed {supposedly by their idols}. Daniel spread ashes {‘apher} on the floor of the room, and when it was next unlocked, the priest’s footprints were revealed in the ashes, showing they were the idols, false gods, consuming the sacrifices.]
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 my hand takes hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make my 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 [realizing the present LORD], 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 [‘adamah – the new generation I am creating], and to his people.
As we know, the LORD’s vengeance is that He doesn’t force anyone to be saved and enter His kingdom, but He does make all aware the choice to receive it is life and rejecting it is death.
The word “revenges,” in verse 42 above, is par’ah, which only appears one other time, in Judges 5:2, where it is, along with the word para’, together rendered “avenging.”
Judges 5
2 Praise you the LORD for the avenging [par’ah para] of Israel, when the people willingly [opened their mouths with this word] offered themselves.
3 Hear, O you kings; give ear, O you princes; I, even I, will sing [these words] unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
4 LORD, when you went out of Seir [the powers possessed by Satan], when you marched out of the field of Edom [the enemies mixed among us, at war with us], the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped [this understanding], the clouds also dropped water [as the separated elements were rightly ordered into these words].
5 The mountains [the old and corrupt government of church and state] melted from before [paniym – at the presence of] the LORD, even that Sinai [all the misleaders] from before [paniym – at the presence of] the LORD God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar [this sword of the LORD’s vengeance], the son of Anath [was heard], in the days of Jael [the destroyer of those arrayed against us in this war]; the highways [‘orach] were unoccupied, and the travelers [halak] walked [halak] through byways [‘orach – these words allude to verse 10 below, when there is no rightly ordered words heard, which is purity and judgment spoken from God’s people].
7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah [meaning orderly: systematically, rightly arranged words] arose, that I arose a mother [teacher] in Israel.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel [or is the weapon of war understood to be this word of God]?
9 My heart [mind] is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless you the LORD.
10 Speak [this word wherein the LORD’s presence is manifested], you that ride on white asses [carrying the LORD’s presence to His people], you that sit in judgment, and walk [halak] by the way [derek].
11 They that are delivered from the noise [qowl – the voices] of archers in the places of drawing water [where the word of God should be heard from His people], there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to [join the war at] the gates.
Proverbs 4
10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of your life shall be many.
11 I have taught you in the way [derek] of wisdom; I have led you in right paths.
12 When you go, your steps shall not be straitened; and when you runnest, you shall not stumble.
13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is your life.
14 Enter not into the path [‘orach] of the wicked, and go not in the way [derek] of evil men.
15 Avoid [para’] it, pass not by it [‘abar – pass from death into life by avoiding it], turn from it, and pass away [‘abar – by turning from it pass from death into life].
16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
18 But the path [‘orach] of the just is as the shining light [giving understanding to all], that shines more and more unto the perfect [kuwn] day [this time when all things are rightly ordered and we have complete understanding of this moment and the LORD’s presence].
19 The way of the wicked is as darkness [ignorance of this time and the present LORD]: they know not at what they stumble.
20 My son, attend to my words; incline your ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart [mind].
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23 Keep your heart [mind from corruption] with all diligence; for out of it [uncorrupted mind] are the issues of life.
24 Put away from you a froward mouth [that twists truth], and perverse lips put far from you.
25 Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids look straight before you.
26 Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established [kuwn – with perfect understanding].
27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove your foot from evil.
Proverbs 8
1 Does not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She stands in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She cries at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O you simple, understand wisdom: and, you fools, be you of an understanding heart.
6 Hear [shama’ – and obey]; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness [tsedeq]; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain [nakoach – correct] to him that understands, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions [mzimmah – evil conspiring].
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honor are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills were I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass [chuwg – the circuit, beginning to end] upon the face [paniym] of the depth [manifesting His presence by giving this deep understanding]:
28 When he established the clouds above [where understanding is held in heaven when it leaves the earth]: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea [humanity] his decree [choq], that the waters [words of men] should not pass [‘abar – would not bring the dead to life] his commandment [peh – mouth, without His word from His mouth]: when he appointed [chaqaq – by the decrees of His mouth] the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him [paniym – always in the LORD’s presence];
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken [shama’ – obey] unto me, O you children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear [shama’ – obey] instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not [para’ – because doing so is the vengeance of the LORD].
34 Blessed is the man that hears [shama’ – obeys] me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD.
36 But he that sins against me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
Proverbs 1
20 Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:
21 She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words, saying,
22 How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But you have set at naught [para’] all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;
27 When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind [the LORD’s Almighty Spirit, from where His voice is heard changing, shaking, heaven and earth]; when distress and anguish comes upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way [they choose], and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkens [shama’ – hears and is obedient] unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Hebrews 10
5 Wherefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body [through which You will speak] have you prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; [2 Peter 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased {HEAR Him}.]
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do your will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second [taking away the sacrifice in which He has no pleasure, because it is superficial, only covering sin, never changing the mind to take it away, and in its place inaugurating the sacrifice that pleases Him, long-suffering to change minds, taking away the corruption by His word, His power, that effectually does the work].
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God [from where His power is ministered];
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies [haters] be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified [made holy, cleared of men’s corruption].
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD, I will put my laws into their hearts [making it the foundation of their thought process], and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest [the presence of the Father] by the blood [willing sacrifice] of Jesus [manifesting Jehovah’s Salvation],
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated [inaugurated] for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having a high priest [administrating this dispensation, as His chief overseer] over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled [with the blood of His sacrifice] from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works [speaking His word, in which is the power that effectually works to change the minds of men]:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [episunagoge – only appearing here and in 2 Thessalonians 2:1 where it’s our “gather together” to the LORD Jesus Christ, that only comes after the falling way, the word meaning the complete collection, into His ONE BODY], as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day [this light, understanding] approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice 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;
33 Partly, whilst you were made a gazing-stock [held up for public mocking by those who hate us without cause] 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 a better [kreitton] and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence [waiting for things fully expected], which has great recompence of reward.
36 For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God [speaking as commanded], you might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back [hupostello – fearing, hold back this word], my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back [hupostole] unto perdition [apoleia]; but of them that believe [that this word is the word from the mouth of God] to the saving of the soul.
When Paul, the LORD through (in) him speaking, in 2 Thessalonians 2, tells of the falling away (the apostasy that comes before the LORD appears to gather His people into His ONE BODY) of the wicked, in whom the spirit of Satan works his power to deceive with lying signs and wonders, they are those who now lead God’s people in church and state. Now, as they were already working in Paul’s time, they are those who sit before God’s people, in His place, as if they are Him, to oppose the love of His truth, which is against them, their false teaching, and their positions as lords over God’s people.
As we know, they are the same wicked people spoken of earlier in 1 Thessalonians 2, as Satan not allowing this word of God to be spoken to those who haven’t heard it as the word of God, as it is. These are the same wicked and unreasonable men described in 2 Thessalonians 3, who aren’t giving this word free course, saying, from them we should pray to be delivered.
1 Thessalonians 2
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children,
12 That you would walk worthy of God [renouncing “the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light {understanding} of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2 Corinthians 4], who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us [exactly as here and now], you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works [as the power changing your minds] also in you that believe.
14 For you, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judah are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the LORD Jesus [as the false teachers and devil among us have, through their blinding corruption], and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak [this word of God, as received] to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath [the LORD’s vengeance in the same word, as is spoken of in Hebrews 10:30, quoting Deuteronomy 32:35 & 36] is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see [the LORD’s presence manifest in] your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan [the spirit in them working] hindered us.
19 For what is our hope [we wait for and fully expect], or joy [the LORD’s presence realized in you], or crown of rejoicing [when He is realized working and speaking in us]? Are not even you [who’ve received this word of God as His word, as it is] in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For you are our glory [when His presence is in you manifested] and joy [realized by you and those who through you hear and obey Him].
2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together [apeksunogoge – at His complete collection of His people into His ONE BODY] unto him,
2 That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day [the time of light, understanding, returned] of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day [full understanding returns] shall not come, except there come a falling away [apostasia – standing away from God and His truth, with those who’ve led there by putting themselves in His place, who now resist and oppose Him] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [the many in the pattern of Reuben, who put himself in his father’s place and lost his birthright];
4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God [in His place], showing himself that he is God.
5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now you know what withholds [katecho – holds down, keeping God’s people from rising] that he might be revealed in his time [all the men putting themselves in God’s place, from then until now, who resist and oppose this true word of God, because it opposes them and their confusion by which they rule].
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets [katecho – hold God’s people down] will let, until he be taken out of the way [mesos – from among us].
8 And then [when this word of God has free course and is exalted above the corrupt words of men] shall that Wicked be revealed [apokaloupto – the apocalypse], whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of his mouth [these words He is speaking, as a sword of righteousness], and shall destroy with the brightness [full understanding given] of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of [the apostasia – falling away from God and truth led by the spirit of resistance] Satan with all power [to darken the minds of men] and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that [following them] perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause [choosing to remain in apostasy, fooling those sitting in God’s place] God shall send them strong delusion [insanity now destroying the old and corrupt world], that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit [cleansing you in these pure waters] and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel [believing He is with us, in us speaking and working], to the obtaining of the glory [the manifested presence] of our LORD Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions [paradosis – transmitted, give as received] which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our LORD Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which has loved us, and has given us everlasting consolation [paraklesis – the Paraclete, who is with us always, leading us into all truth] and good hope [of the expected end] through grace [the gift of these treasures],
17 Comfort your hearts [parakaleo – receive the message, this conversation with the LORD, into your minds], and establish you [by this present truth] in every good word and work.
2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the LORD may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you [received as the word of God, and not of man]:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable [men who can’t be reasoned with] and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But the LORD is faithful, who shall establish you [in this present truth], and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in the LORD touching you [His word effectually working in you], that you both do and will do [and not just hear] the things which we command you.
5 And the LORD direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly, and not after the tradition [paradosis – transmitted, given] which he received of us.
Hebrews 1
10 And, You, LORD, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:
11 They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels [the messengers He’s sent] said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrews 2
1 Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him [from His flesh He prepared for Himself – His ONE BODY in which He dwells];
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts [these treasures revealed] of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
Hebrews 12
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [messengers sent with this message, to the heirs of salvation to be revealed in these last days of darkness],
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speak better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [this place of full understanding, from the right hand of God the Father]:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace [these treasure we’ve received], whereby we may [obey and] serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Psalms 98
1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he has done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, have gotten him the victory.
2 The LORD has made known his salvation: his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the heathen.
3 He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends [‘ephec] of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise [declaring His presence realized] unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice [in His presence realized], and sing praise.
5 Sing [these words] unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice [qowl] of a psalm.
6 With trumpets and sound [qowl – voice] of cornet make a joyful noise before [paniym – declaring the realized presence of] the LORD, the King.
7 Let the sea roar [Let all humanity declare His word], and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands [Let these words and the words of man come together]: let the hills be joyful [let the governments He is creating declare His presence] together
9 Before [paniym – manifesting the presence of] the LORD; for he comes to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
