20 – 21 June 2025
For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the LORD make upon the earth.
In the above, Romans 9:6, the LORD, in Paul, speaks of the “perfection” He’s prepared (reserved) for us: this first generation of His new creation of heaven and earth. His “work” is through His rising in the elect remnant He has “predestined” for this purpose, who first have hope and faith in His promise not yet seen completed, but heard from the mouth of the LORD they know.
Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of [by faith in] things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear [but by faith in God’s promise, things not yet seen].
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaks [to us of his faith].
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God [heard his voice, believed His promise, the covenant between them, by which faith he saw Him, as we know from Jude, “saying, Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. 16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speak great swelling words {of pride in their errors}, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage {believing falsehoods because these men have put themselves in the LORD’s place}. 17 But, beloved, remember you the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our LORD Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts {to have their false opinions elevated above the LORD’s Truth}.]
6 But without faith [that He is speaking and working among us, in us] it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Friends, I tell you the Truth, we are the elect remnant, God’s faithful people throughout time, who, along with Enoch, He has predestined, translated (here to rise from among the dead and put on our immortality) in this moment, to (in us) finish His work on the earth.
Hebrews 11
39 And these all [who’ve believed and did My work after hearing My voice], having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect [teleioo – in this completion].
The word “translated,” used twice in Hebrews 11:5 above, is metatithemi, derived from the words meta and tithemi, which refer to the place where the dead body of Christ is laid, waiting for this moment of resurrection. This is why, as in the dead body of Christ not found in the tomb, we’re told, in Genesis 5:24, “And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.”
Friends, it’s essential for all to remember that I do not know these things of myself, the LORD, as I diligently seek, leads and reveals them to me. I know them only after He reveals them, and, therefore, I know I am nothing of myself; the only glory is His, and for me, it is joy, the realization He is with me, in me speaking and working, leading us into all Truth.
Therefore, “Thus says the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm [strength: understanding], and whose heart [mind] departs from the LORD.” And “Blessed is the man that trusts in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.” Jeremiah 17:5 & 7
1 John 3
7 [My] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that commits sin [teaches, follows, and acts upon unright things] is of the devil [possessed by misleaders possessed by Satan]; for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the [misleading] works [deceivableness of unrighteousness] of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his [good] seed [sown] remain in him [to again sprout to life after the LORD’s watering]: and he cannot [remain in] sin, because he is born [again] of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves [agapao] not his brother [not giving this word of God as received: His good leading out of evil’s darkness into the light].
11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death.
15 Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
The character of Cain, as a murderer of his brother, is the same spirit apparent in the world today: not obeying the LORD’s command to give His word (good) as received, and refusing, denying your brother the life contained therein.
Genesis 5
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
10 And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother’s blood cries unto me from the ground.
11 And now are you cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand;
The name Abel is from the Hebrew word hebel, meaning “from 1891; emptiness or vanity; figuratively, something transitory and unsatisfactory.” It’s from the word (1891) habal, meaning “to be vain in act, word, or expectation; specifically to lead astray.” It speaks of the fallen nature of man, even destroying those preaching righteousness, which refers us to Psalms 44:22, saying “Yea, for your sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.”
This Psalm (in the context of Romans 8:36, where it’s quoted) speaks of the LORD seeking this out; the result (the death of all) of the fatal attacks (on righteousness) by the wicked one, Satan through those he possesses, speaking and working “with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10
2 Corinthians 5
14 For the love of Christ constrains us [joins us together, to follow the dead into death, that the LORD through us will here raise them to life with His rising with us, in us, rescuing all in all]; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh [wherein the LORD is risen], yet now henceforth [in that form {morphe}] know we him no more.
17 Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The following, ending with Isaiah 25, is from the post of 17 May 2024:
Yea, for your sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
The LORD begins today in a mystery, a strategic secret, above in Psalms 44:22, revealed now in this time of war against the darkness that covers all understanding. It is in it we find the “victory,” when we, with His awakening in us, are quickened from death into life by our confession of His presence in His word we speak as His (identity in His) ONE living BODY.
Paul, the LORD alive in him speaking and working, quotes the above [[mentioned]] verse in Romans 8:36, speaking to those of us predestined for this moment of awakening, follows it in verse 37, saying, “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”
The word rendered “more than conquerors” is the once-used Greek word hupernikao, meaning “to vanquish beyond, i.e.gain a decisive victory.”
Paul’s beginning verse 37 with “nay” would appear, at first glance, to contradict Psalms 44:22, which he just cited and affirmed with a “Yea.” A deeper examination of the original text tells us otherwise.
In Psalms 44, the verse is followed with verse 23 saying, “Awake, why sleep you, O LORD? arise, cast us not off forever.”
As background, the Psalm is titled, For the Sons of Korah, Maschil. Korah is a son of Levi who rebelled against Moses and for it was, with his fellow rebels, eventually swallowed by the earth. The word maschil means instruction. These meanings tell us the Psalm is a written instruction to those now in rebellion, refusing to follow and obey the LORD’s instructions through His chosen. It (the Psalm) ends with the epilogue, “To the Chief Musician [natsach – Chief Overseer] upon Shoshannim,” meaning it’s sent to those [first to the first begotten] leading God’s people in repeating the Songs He’s given: and their ONE voice is the last trumpet sounding.
The awakening, spoken of in verse 23, is God’s people opening their mouths and coming to life, as Korah, who, instead of choosing destruction, is changed at this last trump, as the corrupt put on uncorrupted truth and they (put on) their immortality.
We know (among other things, by deeper examination) that Paul’s wording (in Romans 8:37) is a paraphrase of Psalms 44:23 and speaks of the same victory over death. Paul, knowing the word “forever” in the original text is netsach (meaning the goal), also knows it’s the word rendered “victory” in Isaiah 25:8.
When quoting this Isaiah passage in 1 Corinthians 15:54, he (Paul) uses the four-time-used word nikos, always rendered “victory,” and always speaks of the victory over death and the grave (hell, in the earth’s belly) and by whom it comes.
Going deeper, the word nikos appears three times in 1 Corinthians 15 (verses 54, 55 & 57) and once in Matthew 12:20, as the LORD quotes Isaiah 42:3, where the word (rendered “victory” in Matthew) is the Hebrew word ’emeth and is rendered “truth.”
The point: hear and obey the word of the LORD, put off corruption and put on immortality, or remain in the belly of the earth ending in ruin. Victory and truth are synonymous, both (the goal led to by the Chief Overseer), which, when they come, end death by the LORD’s long-suffering to raise us from it into life.
Romans 8
27 And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints [knowing they are also in need of this change] according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called [kletos] according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow [know before, the faithful throughout history], he also did predestinate [proorizo – to limit in advance, at this [[before determined]] horizon] to be conformed to the image [eikon] of his Son, that he might be [as the first light on the horizon] the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate [proorizo], them he also called [kaleo]: and whom he called [kaleo], them he also justified [dikaioo – freed from corruption]: and whom he justified [freed from corruption], them he also glorified [manifesting His presence in them].
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect [eklektos – His chosen]? It is God that justifies [frees us from corruption and thereby death].
34 Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen [egeiro] again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession [entugchano] for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of [agape – freely giving us all things through] Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, [Psalms 44:22 saying, “Yea,” to verse 21 saying “Shall not God search this out? for he knows the secrets of the heart.”] For your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors [hupernikao] through him that loved [agapao – freely gave His treasures to] us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love [agape – this grace given by Divine charity] of God, which is in Christ Jesus our LORD.
1 Thessalonians 3
8 For now we live, if you stand fast [steko] in the LORD.
Psalms 43
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For you are the God of my strength: why do you cast me off [as in Psalms 44 below]? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 O send out your light [understanding] and your truth [’emeth – which brings us to the victory]: let them [[Your Truth]] lead me; let them bring me unto your holy hill, and to your tabernacles.
4 Then will I go unto the altar of God [offering the sacrifice in which He delights], unto God [realized] my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise you, O God my God.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health [yshuw’ah – Jesus] of my countenance [paniym – Your presence manifested in the flesh], and my God.
To the Chief Musician [Natsach – the Chief Overseer who, with these songs, leads into truth and victory]
Psalms 44
Words of Instruction, to be Sung to the Rebels and by them upon Returning
1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the times of old.
2 How you did drive out the heathen with your hand, and planted them; how you did afflict the people, and cast them out.
3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but your right hand, and your arm, and the light [understanding] of your countenance [paniym – Your presence], because you had a favor unto them.
4 You are my King, O God: command deliverances [yshuw’ah – Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh] for Jacob.
5 Through you will we push down our enemies: through your name [Your Identity] will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7 But you have saved us from our enemies, and have put them to shame that hated us.
8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise your name [Your identity] forever. Selah.
9 But [in our rebellion and rejection of Your leadership] you have cast off, and put us to shame; and go not forth with our armies.
10 You make us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
11 You have given us like sheep appointed for meat; and have scattered us among the heathen.
12 You sell your people for naught, and do not increase your wealth by their price.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14 You make us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,
16 For the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
17 All this is come upon us; yet have we [in our confusion we thought we have] not forgotten you, neither have we dealt falsely in your covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from your way;
19 Though you have sore broken us in the place of dragons [tanniyn – by men among us as serpents and whales, devoured us with their wide open mouths and swallowing us into this belly of hell], and covered us with [concealed from us] the shadow of [darkness – ignorance of our own condition, which is] death.
20 If we have forgotten the name of [the identity, His manner in which He reveals Himself as] our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god [which men created and put in His place];
21 Shall not God search [chaqar – penetrate this darkness] this out [as He has]? for he knows the secrets of the heart [mind].
22 Yea, for your sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Awake, why sleep you, O LORD? Arise [in us], cast us not off forever [netsach – from Your victory and truth].
24 Wherefore hide you your face [paniym – Your presence, which is only hidden in the ignorance caused by the dragons among you], and forget our affliction and our oppression [which He hasn’t forgotten, but they, the rebels, continually turn to their oppressors thinking these destroyers will save them from themselves]?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust [the ruin of the earth led by serpents and whales]: our belly [beten – the belly of hell, of Jonah 2:2] cleaves [dabaq – meaning “to impinge, i.e. cling or adhere; figuratively, to catch by pursuit”] unto [hell on] the earth.
26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for your mercies’ sake.
What part of this isn’t clear yet? What part hasn’t the LORD fully explained? When is it enough?
Ezekiel 33
17 Yet the children of your people say, The way of the LORD is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 Yet you say, The way of the LORD is not equal. O you house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year [the perfection, completion, of the LORD’s government in this new heaven and earth] of our captivity, in the tenth month [ordinal perfection, when all things have been put in their right order], in the fifth day [of His grace and mercy] of the month, that one that had escaped [paliyt, it is referring back to verse 5 of this chapter, where the word malat, meaning to escape, rendered “deliver,” speaks of those who received the warning and acting upon it, escaped what is warned of] out of [corrupt] Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city [of those turned from righteousness, and the wicked who haven’t turned from their wickedness] is smitten [by its own ignorance and insanity].
22 Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening [as darkness was coming], afore he that was escaped [paliyt] came [with this warning]; and had opened my mouth [to speak the LORD’s word], until he came to me in the morning [when this understanding of this new day was come]; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
23 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land [‘adamah – the ruin of this last generation] of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land [‘erets – the earth]: but we are many; the land [‘erets – the earth] is given us for inheritance.
25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land?
26 You stand upon your sword, you work abomination, and you defile every one his neighbor’s wife: and shall you possess the land [‘erets – the earth]?
27 Say you thus unto them, Thus says the LORD God; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
28 For I will lay the land [‘erets – the earth] most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through [‘abar – from death into life].
29 Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.
30 Also, you son of man, the children of your people still are talking against you by the walls [of things that aren’t true] and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from the LORD.
31 And they come unto you as the people comes, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their covetousness [betsa’ – dishonesty].
32 And, lo, you are unto them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear your words, but they do them not.
33 And when this comes to pass, (lo, it will come [as it now has],) then shall they know that a prophet has been among them.
Isaiah 25
1 O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things; your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 For you have made of a [corrupt] city a heap; of a defensed city a ruin: a palace of strangers [in power] to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Therefore shall the strong people [strengthened with Your understanding] glorify you, the city of the terrible [‘ariyts] nations [who haven’t known the present LORD] shall fear you.
4 For you have been a strength to the poor [those without worldly power], a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast [ruwach – the evil spirit] of the terrible ones [‘ariyts] is as a storm against the wall [the houses in Matthew 7:24 thru 27].
5 You shall bring down [kana’ – vanquish, cause to bend their knee] the noise of strangers [who I never knew, as in Matthew 7:22 & 23], as the heat in a dry place [as fire from My mouth against these places that are without My word]; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud [the same fire against the vail covering this understanding]: the branch [zamiyr – only appearing here, meaning pruned, as in their words are cut off] of the terrible ones [‘ariyts] shall be brought low [‘anah – meaning when My people see and obey My commands, meaning “to eye or (generally) to heed, i.e. pay attention; by implication, to respond; by extens. to begin to speak; specifically to sing, shout, testify, announce “].
6 And in this mountain [the LORD’s perfected government] shall the LORD of hosts [I Am, a man of war] make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined [which are here and now freely given in word form].
7 And he will destroy in this mountain [His perfected government] the face [revealing His presence] of the covering [lowt] cast over [luwt] all people, and the vail [covering His presence and his sword, this word from My mouth] that is spread over all nations [all those who haven’t know My presence].
8 He will swallow up death in victory [netsach]; and the LORD God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has spoken it.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 For in this mountain [His here perfected government – which is nothing like all the wise men, all the false prophets and false teachers, all the loudest and most heard voice, said and told, tell, people to look for and forever wait, which will never come, because they are fabrication of deluded minds] shall the hand [this work] of the LORD rest, and Moab [the mouth of men which are the gates of hell] shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swims spreads forth his hands to swim [rightly dividing these waters on this day of My new creation, in the firmament, this exposition, which I call the new heaven]: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12 And the fortress of the high fort of your walls [their house they built on sand] shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
As we’ve seen in previous posts, the seven times used word metatithemi speaks of the change away from trusting the LORD to misplacing it in man. All the other five uses describe the fall (change – allasso) away (from which all must now be changed back). The only thing that stands in the way are men who tell us at every step away that all is well, who have forever resisted His correction, who now, after the degeneration, hold down (katecho – let) His people in death and hell, and will hold them down until taken out of the way (mesos – taken from our midst, because they are enemies of the cross of Christ mixed among us).
Galatians 1
1 [Timothy] Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who [in me, in us] raised him from the dead;)
2 And all the brethren which are [risen] with me, unto the churches of Galatia [unto whom this wheel within a wheel has come, understanding to give understanding in this unfolding manifestation of the present LORD revealed]:
3 Grace [His gift, which is salvation to all that receive it] be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our LORD Jesus Christ,
4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
5 To whom [the Father] be glory forever and ever. Amen.
6 I marvel that you are so soon removed [metatithemi] from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel [unto which all have been changed]:
7 Which [being the creation of fallen man] is not another; but there be some that trouble [removing the peace found in the True] you [holding you down here in tribulation], and would pervert the gospel [this present Truth] of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed [Anathema].
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed [Anathama].
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 7
11 If therefore perfection [teleiosis – the process of completion] were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed [metatithemi – away from the LORD, instead teaching their own creations], there is made of necessity a change [metathesis – a transfer into the hand of another] also of the law.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our LORD sprang out of Judah [the pattern foretelling now the elect remnant]; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there arises another priest [here speaking of Timothy foretelling the pattern {in the wheel} of now],
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17 For he testifies, You are a priest [of the Most High God] for ever after the order of Melchisedec [the High Priest who is the King of Righteousness and Peace].
The word rendered “evident,” in Hebrews 7:14 above, is the three times used Greek word prodelos, from the words pro and delos, respectively meaning, “fore”, i.e. in front of, prior (figuratively, superior) to; and clear. It (prodelos) speaks of things made clear (in God’s promises recorded in His word) before they are manifested into reality: by the “faith [that] is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of thing not [yet] seen.”
1 Timothy 5
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear [and be thereby pulled from the fire – Jude 1:23].
21 I charge you before God, and the LORD Jesus Christ, and the elect angels [the elect remnant, the first awakened from death with me], that you observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep yourself pure [in mind, by which only do we see God – Matthew 5:8].
23 Drink no longer water, but use a little [word the LORD turned to] wine for your stomach’s [stomachos – only used here, from stoma, meaning mouth, saying it’s for the sake of those swallow into the belly of hell] sake and your often infirmities [their frequent lack of strength: lacking understanding].
24 Some men’s sins are open beforehand [prodelos], going before to judgment; and some men they follow after [carried with them to be made clear, understood here and now in this judgment].
25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand [prodelos]; and they that are otherwise [carried here and] cannot be hid.
The last time the word metatithemi appears, in Jude 1:4, it clearly describes those whom Enoch saw the LORD and His Saints (hagios – His holy ones) come to condemn.
Jude 1
4 For there are certain men crept in [to our midst] unawares, who were before of old ordained [prographo – before written of] to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning [metatithemi] the grace [this gift] of our God into lasciviousness [their excrement uncontrollably spewing from their vile bodies], and denying the only LORD God, and our LORD Jesus Christ.
All following is from the post of 2 August 2023:
Daniel 9
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end [chatham] of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up [chatham – make an end of] the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end [qets] thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end [qets] of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation [kalah – the full end], and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The words sheba’ (“seven,” appearing once) and shabuwa’ (“weeks,” appearing five times, and once as “week”) from sheba’, meaning “a primitive cardinal number; seven (as the sacred full one); also (adverbially) seven times; by implication, a week; by extension, an indefinite number,” are the keys to the passage.
The numbers, seventy times seven, only appear once together in the New Testament. It comes in Matthew 18:22 as the LORD is asked how many times we should forgive those who offend us. The offense is the asebeia, now reaching seventy times seven, and after that [[the completion]], “there remains no more sacrifice for sins.”
Hebrews 10
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 underfoot 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.
As we know, what Daniel knew about the seventy sevens, he “understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.”
The word “years” is shaneh, from the shanah, meaning “to fold, i.e. duplicate (literally or figuratively); by implication, to transmute (transitive or intransitive).”
Jeremiah 2
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets [who have now changed My words these seventy times seven times, and transformed {metatithemi} it from an eusebeia [[good news: godliness]] into an asebeia [[the wickedness of the ungodly, against which Enoch saw the LORD and His saints coming]]. [[Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven {this place of full understanding} against all ungodliness {asebeias} and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in {their} unrighteousness;]]
27 Saying to a stock [the dead idols you put in My place], You are my father; and to a [lifeless] stone, You have brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble [ra’ – evil] they will say, Arise, and save us.
28 But where are your gods that you have made you? let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble [ra’ – evil]: for according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah.
29 Wherefore will you plead with me? you all have transgressed against me, says the LORD.
30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion [[saying you are speaking the LORD’s word, when I never said it]].
31 O generation, see you the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness [ignorance]? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto you?
32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
33 Why trimmest you your way to seek love? therefore have you also taught the wicked ones your ways.
34 Also in your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
35 Yet you say, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with you, because you sayest, I have not sinned.
36 Why gad you [to go away from Me] about so much to change [shanah] your way? you also shall be ashamed of Egypt [this land of tyrants and oppression], as you were ashamed of Assyria [the communists, thieves and robbers, now infesting all institutions, making them incurably corrupt].
37 Yea, you shall go forth from him, and your hands upon your head: for the LORD has rejected your confidences [all these things in which you trust], and you shall not prosper in them.
We’re told (in the passages below) of things that will not “change” (as does the temporal), which are the unseen and the eternal things (dabar – words and matters spoken from the mouth) of God.
Psalms 89
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of your throne: mercy and truth shall go before your face [paniym – in Your presence]
15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound [the voice of the LORD]: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light [understanding] of your countenance [paniym – of Your presence].
16 In your name [identity] shall they rejoice all the day: and in your righteousness shall they be exalted [as they exalt Your words above all others].
17 For you are the glory [manifested presence] of their strength [which is their understanding]: and in your favor our horn [power and reign] shall be exalted [above all others].
18 For the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19 Then you spoke in vision to your holy one, and said, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 I have found David [I Am his promised seed] my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him [as in Daniel 9:24 above]:
21 With whom my hand [work] shall be established: my arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn [power and reign] be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also in the sea [his work among the people at large], and his right hand in the rivers [this work sending God’s word into the sea].
26 He shall cry unto me, You are my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven [upon the earth].
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to return them to the right course] their transgression with the rod [the unbreakable law on nature and nature’s God], and their iniquity with stripes [of men].
33 Nevertheless, my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter [shanah] the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun [the rising understanding of this new day] before me.
37 It shall be established forever as the moon [civil government wherein are justice and good judgment, as I intended], and as a faithful witness in heaven [with full understanding]. Selah.
Malachi 3
1 Behold, I will send my messenger [mal’ak- My angel, who is a man of war as well as a man of God], and he shall prepare the way before me [paniym – in Him My presence is manifested]: and the LORD [‘adown – the king], whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger [mal’ak] of the covenant [of My promises], whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts [who is a man of war].
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers [using their words to cast evil spells], and against the adulterers [those who’ve left Me to follow other men], and against false swearers [the now known liars and false accusers], and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages [through confiscatory taxation], the widow, and the fatherless [oppressing those without any man to protect and defend them], and that turn aside the stranger from his right [leading into evil those who don’t know Me or my ways], and fear not me [My inescapable law that inevitably brings their destruction by their own evil, of which I have often warned], says the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war, the Commander in Chief of the army of heaven].
6 For I am the LORD, I change [shanah] not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.
7 Even from the days of your fathers you are gone away from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says the LORD of hosts. But you said, Wherein shall we return?
8 Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse: for you have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10 Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, says the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a delightsome land, says the LORD of hosts.
13 Your words have been stout against me, says the LORD. Yet you say, What have we spoken so much against you?
14 You have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name [identity].
17 And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels [My people who are My crown and joy]; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.
18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked [understanding to choose the good and refuse the evil], between him that serves God [speaking truth] and him [speaking their own evil ways and ideas, their asebeia] that serves him not.
Luke 1
64 And his [those who receive the promises Jehovah has remembered] mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea [[Judah]].
66 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the LORD was with him.
67 And his father Zachariah was filled with the Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown in him working and speaking], and prophesied, saying,
68 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people,
69 And has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70 As he [the LORD God] spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath which he swore to our father Abraham,
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him [in His presence], all the days of our life.
76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest: for you shall go before the face of the LORD to prepare his ways;
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins [the blinding ignorance taught by men who choose evil and refuse this good],
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring [these living waters, the word of God that ends and begins the ages and nations] from on high has visited us [as the Chief Overseer of the earth],
79 To give light [understanding] to them that sit in darkness [ignorance] and in the shadow of death [blocking the light], to guide our feet into the way of peace.
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.
The only time Jeremiah (or any of the “Prophets” other than Daniel) mentions the word shabuwa’ (the weeks) is in Jeremiah 5:24, and the only time any of the kings speak of it is in 2 Chronicles 8:13 as Solomon, the LORD speaking through Him, describes this moment.
2 Chronicles 8
11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh [those whose ways are oppression and tyranny] out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD has come.
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths [the LORD visitation, intervention], and on the new moons [to institute a new civil government], and on the solemn feasts [nourishing us with His abundant blessing], three times in the year [shaneh], even in the feast of unleavened bread [removing the corruption from His word], and in the feast of weeks [shabuwa’], and in the feast of tabernacles [when He calls His people to leave their corrupt houses and meet with Him where He chooses – see Deuteronomy 16:16 where shabuwa’ also appears].
14 And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man [as is Timothy, as I Am] of God commanded.
15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter [dabar – the words they should speak], or concerning the treasures.
16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished [kalah]. So the house [family] of the LORD was perfected [shalem – as New [[Heavenly]] Jerusalem].
Jeremiah 5
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not [that I Am with you]; which have ears, and hear not [My voice speaking to you]:
22 Fear you not me? says the LORD: will you not tremble at my presence [paniym], which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea [humanity] by a perpetual decree [choq], that it cannot pass it [‘abar – cannot Passover from there in death into life without Me, without following My direction]: and though the waves [the pride of men] thereof toss themselves [agitating all humanity they’ve continually led into confusion and now after a long train of abuses {asebeia} into mass insanity], yet can they [the wicked in power] not prevail; though they roar [against Me], yet can they not pass over it [‘abar – from this death in hell into life]?
23 But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that gives rain [His word from heaven], both the former [written] and the latter [now spoken], in his season [at this time]: he reserves [shamar – guarded and protected from corruption] unto us the appointed [chaqqah – the same as choq, meaning the LORD’s decreed] weeks [shabuwa’] of the harvest [qatsiyr – this time when the LORD has come to reap the earth, and separate the wheat from the chaff, those who choose good from those who choose evil].
25 Your iniquities have turned away [your ears and eyes from hearing and seeing] these things, and your sins [that corrupt My word and your understanding this time] have withheld good things from you [and hold you in the hand of evil].
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that sets snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
2 Corinthians 11
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming [metaschematizo] themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed [metaschematizo] into an angel of light.
15 Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed [metaschematizo] as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2 Corinthians 3
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the [new] day [when understanding comes] shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work abides [remains after the fire] which he has built thereupon [the good foundational elements ruling in his mind], he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If any man defiles the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain [worthless].
Philippians 3
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect [having received this understanding, and knowing the time and season], be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an example.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven [with full understanding]; from whence also we look for [the sight to see] the Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change [metaschematizo] our vile body [by removing corruption by His correction], that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue [[hupotasso – bring into subordination]] all things unto himself.
Psalms 11
1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD tries the righteous: but the wicked and him that loves violence his soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loves righteousness; his countenance [presence] does behold the upright.
