7 – 10 July 2025
Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and anoint the shield.
The word “prepare,” in Isaiah 21:5 above, is the seventy-six times used Hebrew word ‘arak, meaning “to set in a row, i.e. arrange, put in order.” It refers us to the words of the LORD, through David, in Psalms 23:5, where it is a table “prepared” by the present LORD, against our enemies in the valley of the shadow of death (when this light is being blocked from reaching the lowly).
The words rendered watch and watchtower are tsaphah and tsaphiyth; the first, from which the other is derived, means, “to lean forward, i.e. to peer into the distance; by implication, to observe, await.” The other adds the suffix “iyth,” which is a derivative of the words ‘uwth, a four times used word meaning, “properly, to come, i.e. (implied) to assent:–consent,” and ‘owth, meaning “probably from 225 [‘uwth] (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.:–mark, miracle, (en)sign, token.”
As we’ve seen, these words (their bases) have an affinity to the root word tsaphan, meaning “to hide (by covering over); by implication, to hoard or reserve; figuratively to deny; specifically (favorably) to protect, (unfavorably) to lurk.”
In these meanings, we understand the preparation is revealing hidden things (reserved for this time) to those watching (diligently seeking, peering into the distance), reaching this promised moment of their uncovering. The time is that written of as the ‘achariyth, the “last days” of darkness; from ‘achar, meaning the hind part; “after” (in various senses), and ‘uwth, by assent (acquiescence, agreement with the mind of the LORD), when it comes.
In the title passage, this revelation is what the princes have eaten (the LORD’s flesh), by which they rise (quwm – rise from death into life) and “anoint” the “shield” of the earth (the LORD), from the Hebrew words mashach (anoint) megan (shield).
This anointing is the final step in Daniel’s foretelling this moment, in Daniel 9:24 saying “Seventy weeks [the years spent in desolation caused by the abominations men created, put in the LORD’s place, and called by His name] are determined [chathak, only used here, meaning decreed {by the LORD}] upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish [kala’] the transgression [pesha’ – the rebellion {against Him}], and to make an end [chatham – make apparent the end] of sins [chatta’ah – the offence and its consequence], and to make reconciliation [kaphar – cover: uncover and correct] for iniquity [’avon – perversions of truth: evil], and to bring in everlasting righteousness [tsedeq], and to seal up [chatham – make apparent the end of] the vision and prophecy [seeing as the LORD sees, and speaking as He speaks], and to [by this crown: tsphiyrah: the declaration that is the morning] anoint [mashach] the Most Holy [qodesh].
The word chatham first appears in Leviticus 15:3, where it speaks of “stopping” the uncleanness that issues from man. There, the word “issue” is zowb (the same as zuwb), meaning “to flow freely (as water), i.e. (specifically) to have a (sexual) flux; figuratively, to waste away; also to overflow.” Other than in the context mentioned, the word (zuwb) is used to tell of the earth (promised to us) when it “flows” milk and honey, a phrase, we know from various uses, describes what we consume and by which we learn to refuse evil and choose good (refuse the devil and choose God, refuse misleaders and choose the Truth).
The word (zuwb) is also used several times telling of this word of God flowing from a Rock (as opposed to the words of uncleanness flowing from the false rocks, in whom men have ignorantly put their trust, and by which the world has been led into death and hell).
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 – this after effect now come]!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their rock had sold them [makar – made them surrender], and the LORD had shut them up [cagar – let them surrender]?
31 For [they must see] their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies [as false rocks] themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom [flames], and of the fields of Gomorrah [ruin]: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison [words] of dragons [tanniyn – men as serpents and whales, devouring their prey with wide open mouths], and the cruel venom [words] of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store [kamac – stored away] with me, and sealed up [chatham – made apparent, uncovered] among my treasures?
35 To me belongs vengeance [in this word revealed] and recompence [a just reward to those who’ve refused it]; 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 [nacham – He has come as the comforter to lead us into all truth, to change our minds by His correction] for his servants, when he sees that their power [yad – to work their own way out] is gone, and there is none shut up [‘atsar – none who retain His knowledge], or left [with the understanding to refuse evil and choose good].
37 And he shall say, Where are their [false] gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which [false teachers and false prophets] 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.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no [false] 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 [yad – from this work].
40 For I lift up my hand [yad – this work] 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 [My people I send with this word] drunk with blood, and my sword [this word from My mouth] shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O you nations [all who haven’t known Me], 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 – this first generation of My new creation], and to his people.
Psalms 78
1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings [chiydah] of old:
3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide [kachad – conceal] them from their children, shewing [caphar – writing them] to the generation to come [‘acharown – now in this ‘achariyth, when the after has come] the praises of the LORD, and his strength [this understanding returned], and his wonderful works [that all wondered at, until He revealed them] that he has done.
5 For he established a testimony [this written word] in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
6 That the generation to come [‘acharown] might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise [quwm – in this resurrection from the death] and declare them [caphar – speak what is written] to their children:
7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious [marah] generation; a generation that set not their heart [minds] aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
9 The children of Ephraim [the last generation of the old and totally corrupt world], being armed, and carrying bows, turned back [were overthrown] in the day of battle.
10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
11 And forgot his works, and his wonders that he had shown them.
12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan [when they departed from their oppressors].
13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through [‘abar – from death into life]; and he made the waters to stand as a heap.
14 In the daytime [this time of understanding] also he led them with a cloud [from where it was held after leaving the earth], and all the night [all those who remained in ignorance] with a light of [His consuming] fire [from His mouth].
15 He clave the rocks [which is Christ] in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths [revealing the understanding held there in its darkness].
16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers [into the sea: the people at large].
17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking [marah] the Most High in the wilderness.
18 And they tempted [doubted the presence of] God in their heart [minds] by asking meat for their lust.
19 Yea, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish [‘arak – prepare] a table in the wilderness?
20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out [zuwb], and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire [from His mouth] was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors [of His treasury] of heaven,
24 And had rained down manna [this word from His mouth by which man lives, of which they are ignorant] upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25 Man did eat angels’ food: he sent [shalach] them meat to the full.
26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
27 He rained flesh [men speaking His word as received] also upon them as dust [sowing in them the ruin of the old world], and feathered fowls [His children by His strength risen into full understanding: into heaven] like as the sand of the sea:
28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat [this deep word] was yet in their mouths,
31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest [the famous and prospering leaders] of them [those refusing to acknowledge and declare His presence with us, in us], and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
The word shalach, in verse 25 above, rendered “sent,” is the origin of the twice used Hebrew name Shiloah (Siloah), meaning, sent; which is the equivalent of the transliterated Greek word Siloam. The name tells of a spring that secretly flowed under Jerusalem, and the Greek word tells of the pool by the same name, and a tower that fell on some gathered there.
Friends, the word marah (meaning bitterness), above rendered “provoking” and “rebellion,” in relation to words, is used in the ten times used Hebrew word mir’iyth, rendered “pasture,” speaking the LORD’s “sent” word, and of it corrupted by man. The more accurate meaning (of mir’iyth) tells of when this bitterness has come, and when, without it, the word (of God) is pure. It is when the LORD, necessarily (when the leaders have proven themselves incorrigible, choosing to remain in their corruption), no longer intervenes, and the calamitous consequences are inevitably experienced, as in when the tower of Siloam fell.
Did the LORD build the tower (like in Babel)? Or did men ignorant of the danger? Did the LORD build a Christian girl’s camp next to a river that could, like most other rivers in Texas, become a deadly raging torrent? Or did ignorant (marah) “Christian men” build it? The problem is these leaders are in rebellion against God, ever provoking Him with their systemic misleading. Their words are the deadly waters (the pastures, their bitter words) and it’s our children and our children’s children, that reap the consequence of their willful ignorance.
So, there will be many that will condemn me for the LORD’s drawing our attention to the similarity between events written of long ago and their obvious appearance in the catastrophes of these last days, none of which did I create or manipulate. So be it. Psalms 69:9 For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.
John 2
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves [signs of the end, the false prophets, eschatologists selling their creations while saying the LORD said, taking His name in vain], Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of your house has eaten me up.
Romans 15
1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and [“so be it”] not to please ourselves.
2 Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification [building up by correction and education].
3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached you fell on me. [“So be it.”]
4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort [led into all truth by the LORD among us unknown] of the scriptures might have hope.
5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6 That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God [bearing men’s reproach, for his name’s {identity’s} sake], even the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ.
The following (with some inclusions), ending in Malich 3, is from the post of 4 August 2024:
The LORD, in Isaiah 8, after telling of His people rejecting these “waters of Shiloah that go softly,” prescribes the solution, which is to seek the LORD who is God with us. The twice-used name Shiloah, meaning sent, refers to the word of God that secretly (‘at – “softly,” see Job 15:11 where it’s rendered “secret”) flows from the LORD’s messenger, who brings revelation (secrets) manifesting His presence with us: Immanuel.
Isaiah 8
7 Now, therefore, behold, the LORD brings [brought] up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria [the communist attack, with word of death, leading our nation and people into self-destruction], and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8 And he shall pass through Judah [the current crop of corrupt leaders in church and state]; he shall overflow and go over [‘abar – take them from life into death], he shall reach even to the neck [the place where their words are formed]; and the stretching out of his wings [kanaph – the words they speak, by which they rise into prominence] shall fill the breadth of your land [‘erets – the earth], O Immanuel [‘Immanuw ‘el].
9 Associate yourselves, O you people, and you shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you of far [merchaq – the appointed time the LORD decreed] countries [‘ertes – the earth]: gird [prepare] yourselves [with these men’s evil words and bad advice], and you shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together [men with men], and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand [quwm – shall not bring any from death into life]: for [against your words] God [‘el] is with us [‘immanuw – this is the necessary declaration].
11 For the LORD spoke [these words] thus to me with a strong hand [working His Almighty work], and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 Say you not, A confederacy [with corruption, the delusion that any of the current governments are going to save us], to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony [this word of Shiloh], seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Behold, I [the son of David, the son of Joseph] and the children [upon whom these sure mercies of David have come] whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwells in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits [the known dead – the misleading word of the communists in church and state, that are known to be the death of men and nations], and unto wizards [the falsely so-called experts of our time] that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? [Why are they still looking] for the living to the dead?
20 [When they should be looking] To the law and to the testimony [this word of Shiloh – referring to Genesis 49:10]: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light [understanding] in them.
21 And they shall pass through it [this experience, of which they remain ignorant], hardly bestead and hungry [refusing this word of God]: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry [without this word of God], they shall fret themselves, and curse their king [the son of David, the son of Joseph] and their God, and look upward.
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble [tsarah – tribulation, ruled by enemies] and darkness [ignorance], dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness [into the insanity now obvious].
Malachi 3
1 Behold [see], I will send my messenger [mal’ak – My angel], and he shall prepare the way before me [panah derek paniym – I have been sent to “prepare the way of the LORD’s presence manifested to the world”]: and the LORD [‘adown – the king, who is in the line of Joseph and David], whom you seek, shall suddenly [pith’own] come to his temple, even the messenger [mal’ak – My archangel, who comes as the Chief Overseer of the earth] of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD of hosts.
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand [‘amad – in resurrection] when he appears [as My presence]? 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.
The above alluded to the need to purify the word “sent,” (Shiloah, Siloam) pooled and corrupted into becoming the mir’iyth, the corrupt (bitter, rebellious, provocative) pasture fed to the LORD’s flock. In it, in this context, the effect of ignorance that has come by this means, the LORD speaks in Luke 13.
Luke 13
1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans [men who are waiting to be given their sight again, by removing the worldly mire], whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose you that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things [at the hand of civil government]?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except you repent [and come out of the darkness that causes blinding ignorance], you shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen [possessed by antichrists denying the LORD presence, bearing the mark of confusion in their head and hand, thoughts and works], upon whom the tower [from where men should see what is coming] in Siloam [the waters sent] fell [into corruption], and slew them, think you that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except you repent [of the blinding corruption men teach as the take the LORD’s name in vain], you shall all likewise perish [by endlessly wrestling with this same word].
6 He spoke also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree [a nation, God’s people, bearing good fruit] planted in his vineyard [the earth]; and he came and sought fruit [karpos], and found none [because the word sent was corrupted].
7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard [ampelourgos – only used here, to mean a vine worker {as the one who places the support upon which it grows}, it’s more contextually from hama {together} and pelagos {deep waters}, meaning the one who brings together the things hidden in the darkened deep], Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down [ekkopto]; why cumbers [katargeo – not working, remaining idol] it the ground [ge – the earth]?
8 And he [I] answering said unto him, LORD, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig [skapto – only used three times, referring us to its one other use in Luke, in Luke 6:48, there telling of “digging” deep to lay the foundation of the house that stands after the flood, from the river that beat upon it, because it is found upon the Rock] about it, and dung it [ballo kopria – meaning to cast upon its own earthly corruption]:
9 And if it bears fruit [karpos], well: and if not, then after that you shall cut it down [ekkopto].
The word ekkopto, meaning through mourning (bewailing their death), only appears one other time in Luke, in Luke 3:9, a passage preceded by quoting Isaiah 40:3 – 5, which closes saying “and the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.”
Isaiah, after the above quote speaks of all flesh as grass whose goodness is as the flower of the field, which withers and fades away, but the word of God shall stand forever. In Luke, after the quote, John (the dove, the sign of the end reached, the LORD through him) speaks to all flesh, calling them (here and now) a generation of vipers, who are warned to flee from the wrath to come.
Luke 3
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits [karpos] worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones [from whom flows this word of the LORD as received] to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit [karpos] is hewn down [ekkopto], and cast [ballo] into the fire.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
The LORD, beginning in Isaiah 40:8, answers the question “what shall we do” when the goodness of man withers and fades away (when “all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean:” see Isaiah 28:8, verse 9 saying “whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall make to understand doctrine (shmuw’ah – this “report” heard, which is “rumored” to be the voice of Jehovah heard and His arm, work, revealed).
The word rendered “fruit,” karpos, means, “probably from the base of 726; fruit (as plucked), literally or figuratively:–fruit.” The word it’s said to “probably” be from, is [726] harpazo, meaning “from a derivative of 138; to seize (in various applications):–catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).” It (harpazo) is the word rendered “caught up,” which the false teachers and false prophets twist into the false (Christ-denying) doctrine of devils. It (harpazo) is derived from the word haireomai, meaning “to take for oneself, i.e. to prefer:–choose.”
This latter word (haireomai) is only used three times, all congruently speaking of choosing to suffer reproach in the LORD’s name, and of His choosing us for salvation by the same (long-suffering) means.
Isaiah 40
9 O Zion, that brings good tidings, get you up into the high mountain [into the LORD’s presence]; O Jerusalem, that brings good tidings, lift up your voice with strength [exalt His word, His voice, and rise with Him into heaven]; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
10 Behold, the LORD God will come with strong hand [this work giving strength to rise], and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is [treasure] with him, and his work before him.
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd [ra’ah – one who has the vision, of God, to lead]: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
12 Who has measured the waters [this word] in the hollow of his hand, and meted [dispensed] out heaven with the span [in this exposition: the firmament], and comprehended the dust [the ruin] of the earth in a measure, and weighed [judged] the mountains [the fully corrupt and feckless governments of church and state] in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counselor has taught him?
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?
Hebrews 11
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
25 Choosing [haireomai] rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
Philippians 1
20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain [here awakening from death in the resurrection].
22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit [karpos] of my labor: yet what I shall choose [haireomai] I wot not.
23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ [here and now in this resurrection]; which is far better:
24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of [realizing the LORD’s presence by] faith;
26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
27 Only let your conversation [speaking the LORD words] be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
28 And in nothing terrified by [the reproach of] your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition [apoleia], but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30 Having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
2 Thessalonians 2
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen [haireomai] you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions 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 and good hope through grace [this gift],
17 Comfort your hearts [minds], and establish you in every good word and work.
Isaiah 49
5 And now, says the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength [my understanding].
6 And he said, It is a light thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light [giver] to the Gentiles [all those who haven’t known Me], that you mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new].
7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nations [those who haven’t known Me] abhor, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose you.
8 Thus says the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you: and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
9 That you may say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are [held] in darkness [ignorance], Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures [mir’iyth – My word I sent, which they made bitter, when I have shown it to them and it is removed] shall be in all high places.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun [the fallen church] smite them: for he that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of [purified] water shall he guide them.
11 And I will make all my mountains [My new governments of church and state] a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
Jeremiah 10
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder [tsaraph] is confounded by the graven image [the idol they’ve created]: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath [life] in them.
15 They are vanity [worthless words], and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – this time when I Am come as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel [My family, the children of My correction] is the rod [shebet – the scepter to rule this new earth] of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts [a man of war] is his name [I Am, His identity].
17 Gather up your wares [pack and move] out of the land [‘erets – the old earth], O inhabitant of the fortress [matsowr – the place of oppression, against which I Am laying siege].
18 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will sling [qala’ – a seven times used word referring us to its use in 1 Samuel 25:29] out the inhabitants of the land [‘erets] at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 Woe is me for my [the carcass of My dead body] hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not [the same words Rachel cries out, in Jeremiah 31:15, speaking of Ephraim: God’s people at large in this last and first generation]: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 For the pastors [ra’ah – shepherds, who should be seeing for the flock as God sees] are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks [mir’iyth – those consuming the waters these men have made bitter] shall be scattered [as they are].
22 Behold, the noise [qowl – the voice] of the bruit [shmuw’ah – the report heard from Jehovah, I Am in this generation of the dead who are raised to life] is come, and a great commotion [ra’ash – the voice “shaking” heaven and earth, which brings the dead bones together and causes men to discern and choose good over evil] out of the north country [revealed from the darkness of men’s ignorance], to make the cities of Judah [the current crop of corrupt leaders] desolate, and a den of dragons [tanniym – men as serpents and whales, with their wide open mouths devouring men and swallowing them into the belly of hell].
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself [but to You it appertains, to guide and direct him into a good way]: it is not in man that walks [astray into his own evil way] to direct his steps.
24 O LORD, correct me [back onto the right path], but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on your name [Your manifested identity: I Am]: for they have eaten up Jacob [and swallowed him into the belly of hell], and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation [this old and totally corrupt earth] desolate.
Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture [mir’iyth]! says the LORD.
2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the pastors [ra’ah – shepherds and seers] that feed my people; You have scattered [puwts – dashed into pieces] my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited [paqad – manifesting My presence to them as the Chief Overseer of the earth, for their good, to unite into My ONE BODY] them: behold [see], [therefore] I will visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth, bring] upon you the evil of your doings, says the LORD.
3 And I will gather [qabats – will collect] the remnant of my flock out of all countries [‘erets – the earth] whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds [My ONE BODY]; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds [ra’ah – pastors and seers seeing as I see] over them which shall feed them [with My words]: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed [chatham – not again be broken apart by men’s confusion and fear], neither shall they be lacking [paqad – will not be without an overseer seeing as I see], says the LORD.
5 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch [I Am], and a King [I Am] shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth [‘erets].
6 In his days Judah [my new crop of Godly leaders I raise from among the ruin of the old] shall be saved, and Israel [My people at large who inherit the promise of a new heaven and earth wherein dwells My righteousness] shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The LORD Our Righteousness.
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD lives, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land [‘erets – the earth] of Egypt [under those tyrants];
8 But, The LORD lives, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country [‘erets – the earth covered in darkness: men’s ignorance], and from all countries [‘erets – the earth] whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land [‘adamah – this new generation I Am creating].
9 My heart [My mind in My people] within me is broken because of the [false] prophets [infesting church and state]; all my bones shake [rachaph – only appears elsewhere in Genesis 1:2, telling of when the LORD unknown “moved” on the face of the waters: the darkened deep; and in Deuteronomy 32:11, of when He, as an eagle, “flutters” over His nest to cause His young to come fly with Him]; I am [the dead body of Christ is] like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness [has come to remove the cause, the corruption of false prophets and false teachers, that pervade the bead body].
10 For the land is full of adulterers [who have left the LORD to follow these false gods of the world]; for because of swearing [‘alah – these men, false gods, loathing this word, and exalting theirs above it] the land [‘erets – the earth] mourns; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, says the LORD.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness [their ignorance of My presence and manner]: they shall be driven on, and fall therein [the pit they’ve dug]: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation [pquddah – this time when the LORD appears as the Chief Overseer of the earth], says the LORD.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria [who worship idols men created, put in God’s place, and who their devils, their evil misleaders, tell them are their gods]; they prophesied in Baal [the creations of men who put themselves in God’s place], and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none does return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom [a place of endless flames], and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah [total ruin].
15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war] concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood [their own poison they teach and preach], and make them drink the water of gall [the same poison by which they judge]: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness [the same poisonous teaching, preaching, and judgment] gone forth into all the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth].
16 Thus says the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war], Hearken [shama’ – obey] not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain [worthless by following their ways]: they speak a vision of their own heart [creations of their own corrupted minds: evil imaginations], and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD has said, You shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walks after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you [the great paradox of our time: looking to those who’ve brought the violence of their evil upon heaven and earth, calling it peace, to warn God’s people against the evil they’ve brought upon them, who are at war with God and His people while calling it peace].
18 For who [none of these misleaders] has stood [‘amad] in the counsel [cowd] of the LORD [by which the living live – 1 Thessalonians 3:8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the LORD.], and has perceived [ra’ah – seen as He sees] and heard [shama’ – and obeyed] his word? who has marked [qashab – let pierce the ear and enter the mind] his word, and heard [shama’ – and obeyed] it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind [from where the voice of the Almighty is heard] of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has executed, and till he has performed the thoughts of his heart [His mind]: in the latter days [‘achariyth – these last days of ignorance of the LORD’s presence] you shall consider [biyn – understand] it perfectly [biynah – by the understanding given by Jehovah, from the whirlwind].
21 I have not sent these [false] prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood [‘amad] in my counsel [cowd], and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should [would] have turned them [to life by standing fast in the LORD] from their evil way [taught by these false prophets and false teacher], and from the evil of their doings [their corrupt judgment by which they judged the old heaven and earth into insanity and ruin].
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man [that calls this word a burden without value] and his house.
35 Thus shall you [My wakened people] say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What has the LORD answered? and, What has the LORD spoken? [And you shall give them this word that is light and life freely given to those held in these men’s darkness here in the old heaven and earth they’ve corrupted and turned into hell.]
36 And the burden of the LORD shall you mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts [tsaba’ – I Am, a man of war] our God.
37 Thus shall you say to the prophet, “What has the LORD answered you?” and, “What has the LORD spoken?” [And if they know Me, they shall speak according to this word, without their corruption]
38 But since you [still] say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus says the LORD; Because you say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, You shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence [paniym]:
40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame [everlasting contempt to which the wicked awaken, as in Daniel 12:2], which shall not be forgotten.
To the false preachers (devils in disguise) I have personally heard (over the airways) saying God only has a covenant with Judah (the nation that now calls itself Israel) – “the LORD rebukes you” and Satan who possesses you.
The truth here is twofold, first no man alive knows where the ten northern tribes (Israel) are now, other than that after they were taken into captivity (over the Caucasus Mountains, beyond Damascus and Babylon, meaning their work was silence and they were in sorrow in a state ruled by mass confusion) they were scattered into places where they no longer even know themselves (and here and now we find ourselves).
The Old Covenant was to all Israel, including the (now) scattered masses of the ten northern tribes. The “new covenant,” which relaced it, gets its name from Jeremiah 31:31, saying “Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:” verse 33 & 34 then saying, “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, says the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts [minds]; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall ALL know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
The following, ending with 1 Corinthians 15, is from the post of 25 September 2024 (with today’s additions in double brackets).
O Israel, return unto the LORD your God; for you have fallen by your iniquity. Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
The LORD begins today, above in Hosea 14:1 & 2, speaking to His people, awakening to life from death, who were before dumb (unable to speak His word because there was no prophet to lead them out of the darkness) due to their iniquity. It is this leading, now, that takes away the cause and results in opening our mouths, which is the offering He desires: speaking His words, the knowledge of God with us, in us.
The name Hosea is the same as Hoshea, the name to which Moses added Jehovah, calling him Joshua (Jesus). The original name means deliverer (savior); in the latter, he is Joshua, the son of Nun (the son in perpetuity, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh: Christ, the Father’s anointed one).
The above portion of the Book of Hosea is written after the northern nation of Israel had ended, and Hoshea, the final king of Israel, and many of the people of Israel with him, were held captive in Assyria (Asshur; from where they were eventually dispersed beyond Damascus, beyond Babylon, speaking of beyond the Caucasus Mountains).
Ephraim and Samaria are descriptive of God’s people in this last generation, fallen and held in the degenerate ignorance brought about by the endless fall away from God (in the bottomless pit) of the prior generations.
The names above speak of when the work of God’s people is ended, and they sit silent and in tears (Damascus), and there (by the substitution of Babylon for Damascus) we understand they are held by confusion (ignorant of God and their own identity), which became delusion, and now turned to mass insanity. In this state of mental death, they are Ephraim, God’s people in double ruin, and Samaria, where God is replaced by devils teaching foreign ideas (idols, falsely called by God’s name, to which is offered strange fire).
Hosea is speaking of the time when Hosea and Israel go into captivity and are held there, to be awakened by again adding Jehovah to Hosea, in these words given understanding, life, by Him.
Hosea 12
1 Ephraim [God’s people in double ruin in this generation] feeds on wind [of false doctrines], and follows after the east wind: he daily increases lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians [the communists here in power], and oil [that feeds the light, gives understanding, through His anointed] is carried into Egypt [here held under tyrants in oppression].
2 The LORD has also a controversy with Judah [the leaders of His people who have likewise fallen into apostacy], and will punish Jacob [Israel and Judah] according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us;
5 Even the LORD God of hosts [a man of Just war]; the LORD is his memorial [zeker – Jehovah is his memento: how He is remembered, re-cognized, at the moment He is].
6 Therefore turn you to your God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on [qavah – expect] your God continually.
7 He [Esau: Edom, Seir: devils: the enemies among us, in power misleading us into self-destruction] is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loves to oppress.
8 And Ephraim [this generation of God’s people in its {Laodicean} state of double ruin] said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labors they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin. [Revelation 3:17 Because you sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel you to buy of me gold {these treasure of My grace} tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment {this purity by which you see Me present}, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint {with this oil} your eyes with eye-salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous, therefore, and repent.]
9 And I that am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt will yet make you to dwell in tabernacles [‘ohel – in transient flesh], as in the days of the solemn feast.
10 I [here and now present] have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
11 Is there iniquity in Gilead [among those entrusted with these oracles, with this written word from the mouth of God]? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal [where the waters are always agitated by confusion, the endless argument about what My words mean]; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria [into the arms of communists], and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt [the oppression of tyrants then and there], and by a prophet [Moses, who was drawn from the waters, the wicked words and ways, which held their minds captive therein] was he preserved.
14 Ephraim [God’s people in these last days] provoked him [the LORD present, manifested in His prophet, I Am, like Moses, He raised up among His people for the same purpose] to anger most bitterly [as they chided with Moses]: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him.
Hosea 13
1 When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal [the idols men created and put in God’s place, who the devils call by His name], he died.
2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they [the devils] say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early dew that passes away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know no god but me: for there is no savior beside me.
5 I did know you in the wilderness [where I untaught you the ways of oppression and tyranny], in the land of great drought [when you were without My word].
6 According to their pasture [[[mir’iyth – when it was without the bitterness the enemies among us added]] when they prospered by this understanding, under God], so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion [roaring this word against their ignorance; the second face, seen in the wheel within the wheel, of the LORD’s unfolding presence manifesting His identity with us, in us]: as a leopard [crouching unknown] by the way will I observe them [as My prey};
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart [the ignorance in their minds], and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast [men without My Spirit, who they choose to follow into self-destruction] shall tear them.
9 O Israel, you have destroyed yourself; but in me is your help.
10 I will be your king: where is any other that may save you in all your cities? and your judges of whom you said, Give me a king and princes?
11 I gave you a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath. [This speaks not only of Saul but also of the kings Israel chose to follow, which, after a succession of kings who murdered the kings before them, ended in Hosea who is now captive in Syria.]
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid [in his own ignorance].
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him [needing to bring forth the king of God’s choosing, the man child, I Am, and His many children, begotten of God alone]: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave [sh’owl – sheol, hell]; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be your plagues; O grave [sh’owl – sheol, hell], I will be your destruction: repentance shall be hid from my eyes. [I will never change My mind about the destruction of death and hell!]
15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind [the Spirit] of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring [the corrupt understanding and words of men] shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure [the corrupt understanding] of all pleasant vessels.
16 Samaria [the places where My people put idols in My place and call them by My name] shall become desolate; for she has rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword [this word they refuse, because their minds are corrupted by the false teaching of the many false prophets mixed among them]: [because they are ignorant beasts] their infants shall be dashed in pieces [as there are by those aborting them by the many millions], and their women with child shall be ripped up.
1 Corinthians 15
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 You fool, that which you sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 And that which you sowest, you sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 But God gives it a [human] body as it has pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption [here in death and hell]; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit [bringing many children from death into life].
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy [dead and buried therein as seed, as in Jezreel, the child of Hosea, who the LORD has sown into the earth]; the second man is the LORD from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are [New] heavenly [Jerusalem].
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God [only the soul and mind do, risen by joining with the LORD in His ONE BODY]; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed [by this understanding received, putting off all the past corrupt teaching by which this truth was hidden],
52 In a moment [when understanding comes], in the twinkling of an eye [this light flashing on, when this epiphany comes, when we see, understand, and reach this expected end of darkness], at the last trump [this voice of the LORD’s archangel]: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is your sting? O grave [hell], where is your victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law [without understanding the Spirit therein].
57 But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory [over ignorance: death and hell] through our LORD Jesus Christ [Jehovah Salvation manifested in the flesh of His chosen, His many children shining this same light upon all].
Psalms 100
1 Make a joyful noise [declaring His presence] unto the LORD, all you lands [‘erets – realizing His New Covenant is to all the earth].
2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence [paniym] with singing.
3 Know you that the LORD he is God: it is he that has made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture [miy’iyth].
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name [manifested identity].
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to all generations.
