13 – 15 July 2025
Joseph of Arimathaea, an honorable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
The LORD begins today, above in Mark 15:43, speaking of the preparation of the dead body of Christ (here and now, dead in hell) by which (providence) we are resurrected. Before commenting further on the above, the LORD takes us back to the following post, from 22 October 2022 (which includes portions of the post from 26 February 2020), which ends with Psalms 26 (with additions in double brackets).
And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
The LORD begins today in John 19:37 above, speaking of the dead body of Christ, the following verses telling of where it’s (metaphysically alluding to the physical) been held, leading us to the means of its resurrection (the Father pouring out His grace).
John 19
38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight.
40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, wherein was never man yet laid.
42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulcher was nigh at hand.
The above names and places, when spiritually discerned (understanding received from God the Father), speak of ideas we’ve previously discussed. (The LORD continually adding greater depth is His glory unfolding before His people, leading us to the epiphany, the moment He is realized, and the hoped-for is again seen.)
As we know, the resurrection is of the king line and the kingdom of heaven, in/through the seed of Joseph, when the ONE BODY springs forth to life after the LORD has poured out His correction: the love of the truth. We have seen this bringing forth children is what Rachel, in Jeremiah 31:15, in Ramah (another name of Arimathaea – meaning mountain of the gift: of God’s grace) is heard lamenting. After this pouring out of the gift, the child brought forth is Ephraim (the fruit of Joseph, the bough by the well – the peace of God’s people: corrected into it through Shiloh, the shepherd and stone).
The name Nicodemus (who came to Jesus by night – in ignorance asking for understanding, as a child only knowing childish things) means “victorious among his people.” The Thayer’s Greek Lexicon says it means “conqueror.” He (in the passage above) is preparing the dead body (the church), binding with it the odors of life, held therein when the body becomes ignorant, disappears from the earth, and is reserved in the cloud (from where the LORD is revealed in the resurrection of the ONE BODY),
Romans 8
21 Because the creature [the body without the spirit] itself also shall be delivered [eleutheroo – used only seven times: initially in John 8:32 & 36, the LORD saying “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you ‘free,'” and “If the Son, therefore, shall make you ‘free,’ you shall be free indeed”] from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty [eleutheria] of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails [to bring forth this truth] in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits of the Spirit [this initial baptism into the LORD’s death], even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption [to become the children of God through His correcting us away from corruption], to wit, the redemption of our body [purchasing us out of sin: hamartia: missing the mark, straying from the course to the prize that now appears].
24 For we are saved by hope [of reaching the prize: the redemption of the body]: but hope that is seen is not hope [no longer hope, but the manifestation]: for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not [yet], then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities [our lack of strength, our inability to give the understanding only God gives through His work, in His time when He makes all things beautiful]: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit [working in us and through us] itself [the LORD Himself yet unknown] makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered [explained without the LORD revealing them].
27 And he that searches the hearts [the foundations of the mind] knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God [which is the redemption of His ONE BODY].
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God [keeping His word and commandments without corruption and perversion], to them who are the called according to his purpose [prothesis – this exposition: the showbread, the children born in Bethlehem: into the family {beth} of showbread {lechem}, according to the scriptures].
29 For whom he did foreknow [proginosko], he also did predestinate [proorizo] to be conformed [summorphos – together transformed] to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn [prototokos – the first to be produced {tikto or teko} from seed in the new earth – another keyword, see below] among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate [proorizo – before ordained {to understand – proginosko} to reach the mark, the horizo {horizon}], them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified [dikaioo – rendered just and innocent]: and whom he justified, them he also glorified [showing it, the thesis, is His glory in us working].
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for [huper – His glory manifested over us, in the conversation above the mercy seat] 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 [these treasures sent from heaven]?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect [Judah, His elect remnant, the new crop of leaders He’s raised first]? It is God that justifies [dikaioo – renders us just and innocent].
34 Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God [the power of God to resurrect the dead], who also makes intercession [entugchano – in the conversation] for [huper – over or above] us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love [agape – freely giving the treasures God the Father has given me] of Christ? shall [the now present] tribulation [thlipsis], or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, 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 [hupernikos, “to vanquish beyond, i.e. gain a decisive victory,” get the victory through the conversation over us] through him that loved us [agapao – gave, in this conversation, the treasures from heaven, as received from the Father in me working].
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 [creation], shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our LORD.
The word rendered “sepulcher,” in John 19:41 & 42 above, is the Greek word mnemeion, meaning “a remembrance, i.e. cenotaph (place of interment).” It is not only the word used to speak of the place the dead body of Christ was laid, but also of Lazarus (the priesthood), from where he is raised, and the place of the Legions of unclean spirits. John uses it, in John 5:28, quoting the LORD saying those there, in these “graves,” will hear His voice (the voice of the Father manifesting Himself in the flesh) and come out from among them (the unclean dead therein).
John 5
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater [good] works than these, that you may marvel.
21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them; even so the Son quickens whom he will.
22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honor [timao – Tim] the Son, even as they honor [timao – Tim] the Father. He that honors [timao – Tim] not the Son honors [timao – Tim] not the Father which has sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life [in this resurrection].
25 Truly, truly, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And has given him authority [exousia] to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves [mnemeion – to life by remembrance] shall hear his voice [the Father speaking through me, manifesting His presence in the flesh],
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear [the Father’s voice speaking to me], I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.
The word rendered “pierced,” in the title verse, is the twice used Greek word ekkenteo, said to mean “to transfix,” from the preposition ek, meaning through which it comes, and kentron, a five times used word meaning, “from kenteo (to prick); a point (“center”), i.e. a sting (figuratively, poison) or goad (figuratively, divine impulse).”
It (kentron), in Revelation 9:10, is the word John uses to describe the “stings” of the tails of the scorpions that come from the smoke of the bottomless pit (the endless fall away from God) that darkened the air. We understand the “tail” tells of the consequences that follow the strike of the scorpion, the venom that rots the inside (the minds of men who are struck). It is from this place the LORD calls us, with the shout of the archangel, the trumpet of His voice, into understanding in the cloud, and the air He’s cleared of the smoke.
It (kentron) also appears in 1 Corinthians 15:55 & 56, there telling us it’s the “sting” of death, the power it has over us, the venom that has corrupted the minds of men who no longer remember they are immortal. It is over this “sting,” and thereby over death, our victory comes.
1 Corinthians 15
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown [as seed] in corruption [in the earth]; it is raised in incorruption [awakened by full understanding: heaven]:
43 It is sown in dishonor [atimia – without knowing Tim]; 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 [upon and by whom death came]; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit [bringing dead souls to life by remembrance].
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; 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 heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy [corruption], we shall also bear the image of the heavenly [incorruption, with clear understanding].
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood [the corruption of man] cannot inherit the kingdom of God [the incorruption in heaven: full understanding with the mind of Christ]; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed [allasso],
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [allasso].
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 [kentron – the venom of men’s corruption of all truth, wickedness that is now silenced, none any longer listening to their misleading]? O grave, where is your victory?
56 The sting [kentron] of death is sin [hamartia – missing the mark, straying from the course to the prize]; and the strength of sin is the law [the written word which men have corrupted].
57 But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh, clarifying His word by removing men’s corruption].
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the LORD, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the LORD.
Hebrews 1
10 And, You, LORD, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:
11 They [the earth and heavens corrupted by the venom of men] shall perish; but you remain [incorruptible]; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed [allasso – when corruption is silenced by the presence of the incorruptible]: but you are the same [teaching the unchangeable foundations], and your years [of Your manifestation of Yourself] shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool [which is the work of the Father]?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister [the word from the mouth of God] for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
The only other time the word ekkenteo appears is in Revelation 1:7, telling of the men who’ve “pierced” the LORD (with their sting, the venom of their corrupt words and work) looking upon (again seeing) Him.
Revelation 1
3 Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear [the voice of the LORD in] the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 John [the dove, who understood the time and times] to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 And from Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh, as the perpetual son, Joshua the son of Nun], who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten [prototokos] of the dead, and the prince [waiting for the throne, until the Father makes His enemies his footstool] of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And has made us kings and priests [If the Father says we are all kings and priests, how say you I Am not a king and priest?] unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion [kratos – strength and power in His works in me] forever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he comes with clouds [with understanding]; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced [ekkenteo – corrupted understanding by which we see] him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail [this is the mourning spoken of in Zechariah 12] because of him. Even so [[be it]], Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the LORD, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
The title verse, and Revelation 1:7, have their origin in Zechariah 12:11, speaking of this moment of the LORD manifesting His presence through the understanding He has given us, before the eyes of the world.
Zechariah 12
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, says the LORD, which stretched forth the heavens [this full understanding], and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man [putting life] within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem [God’s people at large, now under attack by all the corrupt world powers] a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [the elect remnant] and against Jerusalem [all God’s people at large].
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, says the LORD, I will smite every horse [all the powers of the earth] with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon [when the LORD reveals His arm against the high places that mislead the world, who are ignorant of Him and His coming] in the valley of Megiddon [from the lowly who known, because the Father has shown us, this appointed time of Armageddon against the high places – har Megiddon: this “mountain” of transfiguration where we planned the “rendezvous”].
The word rendered “astonishment,” in verse 4 above, is timmahown, meaning consternation: dismay, alarm, or agitation, which cause confusion and hopeless panic. It appears one other time, in Deuteronomy 28:28, there giving deeper context to its use above.
Deuteronomy 28
28 The LORD shall smite you with madness [mass delusion: insanity], and blindness, and astonishment [timmahown] of heart [[mind]]:
29 And you shall grope at noonday, as the blind grope in darkness [in ignorance of their surroundings], and you shall not prosper in your [own] ways: and you shall be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man [only the LORD revealing Himself] shall save you [none of the powers of the corrupt earth, who’ve led it into blindness to the LORD, can save you].
The following is from the post of 26 February 2020, just when the mass delusion and panic began their final push to destroy the earth:
When Luke tells of Simeon “waiting” he used the Greek word prosdechomai, meaning to receive for one’s self. In the previous post, we saw this meaning in the Hebrew words ra’ah ‘eth, translated “consider” in Ecclesiastes 7:13, “Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he has made crooked?” The word ra’ah means to see, and the word ‘eth is never translated because it is said to be inexpressible in the English language. It is describing things that must be intelligently (with knowledge) experienced to be understood, such as the work of God which reveals Him.
Luke uses the word prosdechomai in describing the things that must be experienced to be understood. The first is the redemption of Jerusalem, the second is the appearance of the LORD, the third is why the LORD receives sinners, and the last is the kingdom of God.
Luke 2
36 And there was one Anna [grace], a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel [the face {presence} of God], of the tribe of Aser [blessing {gift}]: she was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;
37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fasting and prayers night and day.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the LORD, and spoke of him to all them that looked [prosdechomai] for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the LORD, they returned into Galilee [the LORD’s inner circle], to their own city Nazareth [from the Hebrew word nazar, meaning to hold aloof or to separate {from what defiles} – selah].
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Luke 12
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell that you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 And you yourselves like unto men that wait [prosdechomai] for their LORD, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the LORD when he comes shall find watching: truly I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the good-man of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Be you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, LORD, speak you this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 And the LORD said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his LORD shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat [[this deep understanding]] in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his LORD when he comes shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
Luke 15
1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receives [prosdechomai – wait for, long-suffers, for the repentance of] sinners, and eats with them.
3 And he spoke this parable unto them, saying,
4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
The final use of prosdechomai is in telling where the LORD’s dead body laid, with Joseph of Arimathaea (separated from his people by the sin, erroneous teaching and misleading of those who refuse to be correct away from error). Arimathaea is telling where He is now found by His brothers, in His grace in receiving us even while we are still blinded to Him by our sins. Arimathaea is the Hebrew words har, mountain, and mattan, meaning gift (Mattanyah – the gift of Jehovah – the last king who will be the first, who the grace, gift, blessing, of God brings to life).
Luke 23
49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee [the LORD’s inner circle], stood afar off, beholding these things.
50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:
51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited [prosdechomai] for the kingdom of God.
52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
54 And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on.
55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.
56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.
When we are told of “waiting” to understand, by experiencing these things for ourselves, they are referring to Genesis 49:19 above, which parenthetically says, “I have waited for your salvation, O LORD.” It’s speaking of the moment God’s people realize His presence and turn away from their idols to Him. Isaiah refers to this moment in Isaiah 49:23, a chapter also (in verse 8) telling of the acceptable time, when the LORD has heard us and answered.
Isaiah 49
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 in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
12 Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim [thorns – from corrupt leadership].
13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD has comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.
14 But Zion said, The LORD has forsaken me, and my LORD has forgotten me.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget you.
16 Behold, I have graven you upon the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
17 Your children shall make haste; your destroyers and they that made you waste shall go forth of you.
18 Lift up your eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live, says the LORD, you shall surely clothe you with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on you, as a bride does.
19 For your waste and your desolate places, and the land of your destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed you up shall be far away.
20 The children which you shall have, after you have lost the other, shall say again in your ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
21 Then shall you say in your heart, Who has begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?
22 Thus says the LORD God, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
23 And kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
25 But thus says the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contends with you, and I will save your children.
26 And I will feed them that oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am your Savior and your Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
Isaiah 50
1 Thus says the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have you sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother [teachers] put away.
2 Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinks, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4 The LORD God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as the learned.
5 The LORD God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 For the LORD God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 He is near that justifies me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is my adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Behold, the LORD God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10 Who is among you that fears the LORD, that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks in darkness, and has no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
11 Behold, all you that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light [your own erroneous understanding] of your fires, and in the sparks that you have kindled. This shall you have of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
Psalms 26
1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 For your lovingkindness is before my eyes: and I have walked in your truth.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass your altar, O LORD:
7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all your wondrous works.
8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of your house, and the place where your honor dwells.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
The word “craved” in the title verse is aiteo, meaning “of uncertain derivation; to ask (in genitive case):–ask, beg, call for, crave, desire, require.”
It (aiteo) is referring us to its two earlier uses in Mark, in Mark 15:6 & 8, rendered “desire” when speaking of the Jews (the intellectually corrupted, morbidly pragmatic, Machiavellian, leader class of God’s people) who (in part of the greatest betrayal in history) “desired” Barabbas (“son of his father or master,” who we’re told is a robber, who committed murder during an insurrection) be released instead of Jesus.
Mark 15
32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calls Elijah.
36 And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar [their bitter words], and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation [of their awakening], that is, the day before the sabbath [when the light comes before the interruption is realized, when the LORD, intervening for correction, stops the words and works of men],
43 Joseph of Arimathaea [Ephraim and Manasseh, the children of Joseph, those who’ve forgotten God, their own identity, upon whom this second blessing has come to awaken them in Ramah], an honorable counsellor [not respecting the corruption of men], which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate marveled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulcher [the church institutions, where the dead are held] which was hewn out of a rock [the mouths of men, from where His manifested presence disappeared], and rolled a stone [the words of men, with which they hoped to keep Him] unto the door of the sepulcher [among the dead]. [Why do you seek the living among the dead?]
When verse 34 above quotes Psalms 22:1, it is the LORD referring us to the passage declaring where He was then going and where He is now found. Then and now, the experts, the LORD’s enemies and accusers, misinterpreted who He was calling upon. They fail to realize He was telling of His faith in His Father (not Elijah) taking Him into this time where He is loosed, and now made apparent, alive in me, in us.
When Hebrews 13:23 tells us to “know brother Timothy is [I Am] set at liberty” the Greek word (rendered “set at liberty”) is apoluo (meaning loosed away), the same word used as Pilate declares he has the power “to release” Jesus, and when telling of the custom “to release” (by popular vote) one prisoner.
The quoted Hebrew words, from Psalms 22:1 (“My God, my God, why you forsaken me?”), in the original text are – ‘El ‘El lo’mah ‘azab, meaning: God, God, [they know] not what [that you have] loosed [me]. The words that follow in the original text are: rachowq yshuw’ah, meaning: [into this time] far off [when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power, to be a] deliverer [Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh]. His flesh (one who becomes two, and then as many as the sand of the seashore) is the vail torn in two, behind which is revealed Jehovah’s presence.
The words lo’ mah (lama), “know not,” are referring to what Luke describes hearing the LORD say from the cross: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”
The word sabachthani, is more thoroughly explained as ‘azab chatham, the sentence thereby saying: they know not that (lo’ mah) I Am loosed (‘azab) because it is sealed until the time of the end (chatham, with intentional affinity to chathan: bridgroom).
Here is the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definition of chatham: to close up; especially to seal:–make an end, mark, seal (up), stop.
And the definition of ‘azab is: to loosen, i.e., relinquish, permit, etc.”
Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the LORD God is upon me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek [who shall inherit the earth]; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort [lead into all truth] all that mourn [and repent];
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might [in them] be glorified.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 But you shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God [from whom His word flows]: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you boast yourselves.
7 For your shame you shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion [inheritance]: therefore in their land [‘erets – the earth they inherit] they shall possess the double: everlasting joy [realizing the LORD with us, in us] shall be unto them.
8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD has blessed [Ephraim – meaning both double ruin and double blessing, an appellative of God’s people in this last generation].
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom [chathan] decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the LORD God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Psalms 22
1 My God, my God, why have [lo’ mah] you forsaken me [‘azab]? why are you so far [rachowq] from helping me [yshuw’ah], and from the words of my roaring [preaching Your word as commanded, as the second face of the LORD’s unfolding presence]?
2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but you hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 But you are holy, O you that inhabit the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in you: they trusted, and you did deliver them.
5 They cried unto you, and were delivered: they trusted in you, and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon you from the womb: you are my God from my mother’s belly.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; and you have brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs [endlessly barking in the darkness: this time when total ignorance of God covers the earth] have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 But be not you far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste you to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion’s mouth [those preaching corruption in Your name]: for you have heard me from the horns of the unicorns [the One and Only true power, Your Almighty presence].
22 I will declare your name [Your identity alive, resurrected, in me] unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise you.
23 You that fear the LORD, praise him; all you the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you the seed of Israel.
24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid [cathar – see Psalms 19:6 & 12 below] his face [paniym – presence] from him [from me]; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows [obeying Him as I vowed I would, preaching the word He’s given me, declaring it is Him alive with me, in me] before them that fear him.
26 The meek [who will inherit the earth] shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that [diligently] seek him: your heart shall live forever.
27 All the ends of the world [ending the old and beginning the new] shall remember [zakar] and turn [shuwb – return] unto the LORD [Jehovah]: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before You [paniym – in Your presence].
28 For the kingdom is the LORD’s: and he is the governor among the nations [all the world that hasn’t known Him].
29 All they that be fat [who prosper under the LORD’s governance] upon the earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust [descend, choose to remain, in the hell, the ruin they’ve created] shall bow before him [paniym – in His presence]: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the LORD for a generation [the first of His new creation].
31 They shall come [from death into life], and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born [into His new creation], that he has done this.
Isaiah 62
1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace [chashah – I will not be silent], and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest [shaqat – repose, sleep], until the righteousness thereof go forth [by the voice of my awakening] as brightness [understanding], and the salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh] thereof as a lamp that burn [as a flame from My mouth showing the way to those in darkness: ignorance].
2 And the Gentiles [those who haven’t known the present LORD] shall see your righteousness, and all kings your [the LORD’s] glory [as His presence manifested in our flesh]: and you shall be called by a new name [His identity before unknown in us], which the mouth of the LORD shall name [His name, His identity, when we join with Him as ONE flesh BODY].
3 You [His ONE BODY joined with Him in His work, His war to exalt His voice above all others] shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD [crowning us by His work revealing His identity, His glorious presence, with us, in us], and a royal diadem in the hand [the work] of your God.
4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken [Hebrews 13, speaking of His revealing what has always been, “for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. 6 So that we may boldly say, The LORD is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.]; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah [“My delight is in her,” speaking of God’s people historically using this name that only appears once elsewhere, of the mother of {raising up – teaching} Manasseh {meaning he forgot the LORD God}, the king who brought in idols and put them in God’s place; here become repentant and remembering God], and your land Beulah [ba’al – meaning joined with the LORD who is the head, has dominion over, the BODY]: for the LORD delights in you, and your land [‘erets – the earth] shall be married [ba’al – under having joined with the head].
5 For as a young man marries [ba’al] a virgin, so shall your sons marry [ba’al] you [in the LORD’s OND flesh BODY]: and as the bridegroom [chathan – speaking of the revealed one; here and above are the only two times the word appears in Isaiah] rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
6 I have set [paqad – overseers seeing as I see] watchmen [shamar] upon your walls [as your protection, seeing what is coming and warning against it, which the enemies have and do violently oppose and resist {as the identity of Satan is manifested in them, in their words and works against humanity: against life, liberty, and property}], O [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [My people as My shining city on a hill that can never be hidden], which shall never hold their peace [chashah – never keep silent] day nor night: you that make mention [zakar – remember, me and all those joined in this bond] of the LORD [this is the part the current watchmen fail to realize is necessary, to mention it is the LORD alive in us, present with us, speaking and working the Salvation of His people who receive Him], keep not silence [dmiy – mention the present LORD; “if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light {understanding} in them.”],
7 And give him no rest [dmiy], till he establishs [kuwn], and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth [‘erets].
8 The LORD has sworn [shaba’ – completed] by his right hand [His power coming from there as rays of light], and by the arm of his strength [this work giving His understanding], Surely I will no more give your corn to be meat [this nourishment of this deep meaning] for your enemies [who, with intention, corrupt it]; and the sons of the stranger [whom I haven’t known or spoken to] shall not drink your wine [this word I sent to change men’s mind, returning them to reality and sanity, the joy of realizing My presence], for the which you have labored [faithfully and diligently seeking this understanding]:
9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD [for His life-giving gift]; and they that have brought it [the elements of understanding] together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10 Go through, go through the gates [out of hell and into the kingdom of heaven, where all things are understood, in the LORD’s ONE BODY]; prepare you the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones [the misleaders whose words cause the people to stumble]; lift up [ruwm – raise, exalt above all others] a standard [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted, as Moses lifted the fiery serpent in the wilderness, as the LORD commanded] for the people.
11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed unto the end of the [old and corrupt] world [‘erets – earth], Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold [see as the LORD sees], your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him [paniym – declares His presence].
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Psalms 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament [this exposition] shows his handywork [the work of His hand, in which His glory is revealed].
2 Day unto day [understanding sent to give understand, giving His light, He] utters speech [through His children], and night unto night [in this time when ignorance covers the earth in darkness, He speaks to the ignorant, to] show knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their [His children’s] voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their [His children’s] words to the end of the [old] world. In them [His words in His children] has he set a tabernacle for the sun [His dwelling place in His people, whose rising with Him is the new day come],
5 Which is as a bridegroom [chathan – the only time the word appears in the Psalms, speaking of the covered One revealed] coming out of his chamber [us; to join with all His people at large], and rejoices as a strong man [the Almighty] to run a race [this course set before us].
6 His going forth is from the end of the [old and corrupt] heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it [ending the old and beginning the new]: and there is nothing hid [cathar – meaning “to hide (by covering)”] from the heat thereof [all His treasure, hidden as if frozen in a Stone, are revealed by Him in this trial by fire].
7 The law of the LORD is perfect [tamiym – filling us to completion], converting [shuwb – returning to Him] the soul: the testimony [‘eduwth – kept, guarded and preserved in the ark] of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [that we speak this word as received] is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter [in our mouths] also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his [own] errors [shgiy’ah – straying away from the LORD]? Cleanse [by Your correction] me from secret faults [cathar – with affinity to catham, chatham, and chathan – hiding what should be made known, uncovering the One covered by straying away from Him].
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins [presuming things that aren’t true]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression [of those who’ve trespassed into things forbidden].
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
