He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

The above, Isaiah 57:2, speaks of the dead, who enter rest in peace: by (walking into life in) the LORD’s uprightness. As discussed in the previous post, this occurs now when all are dead.

The key word in the verse is “uprightness,” from the four times used Hebrew word nakoach, meaning “straightforward, i.e. (figuratively), equitable, correct, or (abstractly), integrity:–plain, right, uprightness.”

One of the other three times it (nakoach) appears comes in 2 Samuel 15:3 when Absalom takes it upon himself to become a judge at the gate of Jerusalem. This eventually turns into his rebellion when he takes the throne (in the pattern of the son of perdition, the pattern of Reuben), putting himself in His father’s place.

The first verse of Isaiah 57 speaks of the righteous (tsaddiyq, from tsadaq) “perishing,” from the word ‘abad, meaning “to wander away, i.e. lose oneself; by implication to perish (causative, destroy).” This is a direct reference to the Zadok (tsadaq) spoken of in 2 Samuel 15, who leaves with David to escape Absalom, whom David sends back to defeat the counsel of Ahithophel (brother of folly) Absalom’s chief adviser.

The other two times nakoach appears are in Proverbs 8:9 & 24:26.

Proverbs 8
1 Does not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She stands in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She cries at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O you simple, understand wisdom: and, you fools, be you of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness [tsedeq]; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain [nakoach] to him that understands, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions [mzimmah – evil conspiring].
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honor are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills were I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass [chuwg – the circuit, beginning to end] upon the face [paniym] of the depth [occurring by the presence of deep understanding]:
28 When he established the clouds above [where understanding is held in heaven when it leaves the earth]: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea [humanity] his decree [choq], that the waters [word of men] should not pass [‘abar – would not bring the dead to life] his commandment [peh – mouth, without His word from His mouth]: when he appointed [chaqaq – by the decrees of His mouth] the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him [paniym – always in the LORD’s presence];
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken [shama’ – obey] unto me, O you children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear [shama’ – obey] instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that hears [shama’ – obeys] me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD.
36 But he that sins against me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Proverbs 24
21 My son, fear you the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change [shanah – here meaning to alter truth, repeating the corrupt words of wicked men]:
22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly [pith’owm]; and who knows the ruin of them both?
23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24 He that says unto the wicked, You are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
26 Every man shall kiss his lips that gives a right [nakoach] answer.
27 Prepare your work without, and make it fit for yourself in the field; and afterwards build your house.
28 Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause; and deceive not with your lips.
29 Say not, I will do so to him as he has done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
30 I went by the field of [the earth under] the slothful, and by the vineyard of the [church under] man void of understanding;
31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns [misleaders], and nettles [deceivers] had covered the face [paniym – the presence of the LORD] thereof, and the stone wall [men built upon the foundation of God] thereof was broken down.
32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34 So shall your poverty come as one that travels, and your want as an armed man.

The “bed” spoken of in Isaiah 57:2, is spoken of above, asking how the righteous remain asleep. The word “travels” is from the Hebrew word halak, the same word rendered “walking” in the title verse (Isaiah 57:2).

Proverbs 6
9 How long will you sleep, O sluggard? when will you arise out of your sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall your poverty come as one that travels [halak], and your want as an armed [magen – shield, that is a] man.
12 A naughty [bliya’al – rejecting discipline] person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth [twisting and perverting truth].
13 He winks with his eyes [signaling his evil intentions to his evil allies], he speaks with his feet [misleading those following his evil advice], he teaches with his [false accusing] fingers;
14 Frowardness is in his heart [when the foundation of the mind is upon twisted and perverted truth], he devises mischief continually; he sows discord [madown – dividing those opposing his evil].
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly [pith’owm]; suddenly [petha’] shall he be broken without remedy [marpe’].
16 These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him [nephesh – dividing His ONE BODY]:
17 A proud look [one], a lying tongue [two], and hands that shed innocent blood [three],
18 A heart that devises wicked imaginations [four], feet that be swift in running to mischief [five],
19 A false witness that speaks lies [six], and he that sows discord [mdan – from madown, evil judgment] among brethren [seven].
20 My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:
21 Bind them continually upon your heart, and tie them about your neck.
22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you.

Isaiah 57
1 The righteous [tsaddiyq] perish [‘abad – wander way into death], and no man lays it to heart: and merciful men are taken away [‘acaph], none considering [biyn – understands] that the righteous [tsaddiyq] is taken away [‘acaph] from the evil to come.
2 He shall enter into peace [shalowm]: they shall rest in their beds [mishkab], each one walking [halak] in his uprightness [nakoach – rising when all becomes plain and right, and he awakens].
3 But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
4 Against whom do you sport yourselves? against whom make you a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are you not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.
5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree [while hiding behind self-righteousness], slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks [in your false churches, institutions of church and state that drain life from those that put their trust in them]?
6 Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion [among those worn away by your corrupt waters]; they, they are your lot [to be worn away in like manner]: even to them have you poured a drink offering, you have offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these [your corrupt understanding, which is ignorance and death]?
7 Upon a lofty and high mountain [every institution of church and state government] have you set your bed [in death, the place of the wicked, from where the righteous, in death wandered away]: even thither went you up to offer [your corrupt] sacrifice.
8 Behind the doors also and the posts have you set up your remembrance [zikrown – the entry into death is in your way you teach every generation]: for you have discovered yourself to another than me, and are gone up; you have enlarged your bed [mishkab], and made you a covenant with them; you loved their bed [mishkab] where you saw it.
9 And you went to the king [with your bad advice] with ointment [you claimed was a cure, when it is death], and did increase your perfumes [to hide the stink of your corrupt flesh], and did send your messengers far off, and did debase yourself even unto hell [sheol].
10 You are wearied in the greatness of your way; yet said you not, There is no hope: you have found the life of your hand [that you flesh is animated here doing the work of death]; therefore [in your success doing evil] you were not grieved.
11 And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied, and have not remembered [zakar] me, nor laid it to your heart? have not I held my peace even of old [sealing My word as I said I would], and you feared me not [and you took My name in vain and spoke in My place, saying I said, when I said nothing to you]?
12 I will [as I now have] declare your righteousness, and your works [to be products of wickedness]; for they shall not profit you.
13 When you cry, let your companies deliver you; but the wind [the Spirit of the Almighty] shall carry them all away; vanity [their own worthlessness] shall take them: but he that puts his trust in me shall possess the land [‘erets – the earth], and shall inherit my holy mountain [My righteous governments in church and state];
14 And shall say, Cast you up, cast you up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block [the creation of the wicked] out of the way of my people.
15 For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones [who with Me shall inherit the earth].
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness [their corrupt conception of value] was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly [twisting and perverting truth] in the way of his heart [following their own imaginations].
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners [who realize they are dead and in need of life].
19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace [shalowm], peace [shalowm] to him that is far off [rachowq – in his time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men in power], and to him that is near [qarowb – those who’ve joined Me in my ONE BODY], says the LORD; and I will heal [rapha’] him [from death awakening them into life].
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea [all humanity agitated], when it cannot rest [not knowing it is the wicked below the surface agitating it], whose waters [words] cast up mire and dirt [where nothing is clear: plain or right].
21 There is no peace [shalowm], says my God, to the wicked.

Friends, we plainly and rightly see that wherever the wicked are in power, every evil, unjust, and immoral way, every insane reversal of reality, every attack against truth, innocence, and life are exalted and falsely called good. They know we know they, those in power, are the destroyers of the world, and they don’t care. As long as they have power, they are going to use it to keep it, to destroy their existential threat: truth that defines them as evil and wicked. They will never give up power without bloodshed. They are evil incarnate, and there is no bound to the extent they will perpetrate it (their evil) upon the world. For those who haven’t realized it yet, they are taking us into an extinction-level event. Without the LORD’s intervention, this intervention, humanity would end here and now.

Father, into Your hands, we commend our lives; please be our sanctuary.

Thus says the LORD:

Jeremiah 8
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts.
4 Moreover you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6 I hearkened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rushes into the battle.
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times [mow’ed]; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8 How do you say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one deals falsely.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – now when He is Present as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
13 I will surely consume them, says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan [this judgment day]: the whole land [‘erets – the whole earth] trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land [‘erets – the earth], and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you [with their words, evil decrees, destroying you], says the LORD.
18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country [merchaq ‘erets – the earth in this appointed time the LORD decreed]: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images [their creations], and with strange vanities [worthless ideas that are far from My truth]?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment has taken hold on me [I cannot understand why humanity refuses to be saved].
22 Is there no balm in Gilead [the cure is in this testimony]; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered [the answer is – a cure rejected isn’t a cure]?

The Greek word rendered “commend” is paratithemi, meaning “to place alongside, i.e. present (food, truth); by implication, to deposit (as a trust or for protection).”

Luke 23
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commend [paratithemi] my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost [ekpneo].

The word ekpneo, rendered above “gave up the ghost,” and the same elsewhere two other times, is from ek, denoting the origin from which something (here pneo) proceeds, and pneo, meaning “to breathe hard, i.e. breeze.” It (pneo) is from the word pneuma, meaning “a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively, a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ’s spirit, the Holy Spirit.”

The LORD is describing the manifestation of God, leaving his dead flesh body. Seeing the manifestation is depicted when the veil of the temple is torn open, behind which is the holy of holies where the LORD’s presence is manifested in the conversation, the word spoken by Him there hidden behind the flesh (the veil). This occurs in the presence of the ignorant church (the sun darkened), which remains ignorant and will remain (ignorant) until they return to Him.

Hebrews 10
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God [as in Luke 23:46 above];
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies [the wicked in power] be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified [made holy in His presence still unknown, and brought into sanctuary].
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown in me working and speaking] also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD, I will put my laws [this word from the mouth of God] into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest [of holies, into the LORD’s known presence] by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated [initiated] for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having a high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience [foundational mind], and our bodies washed with pure [uncorrupted] water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [gathering into His ONE BODY], as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day [light] approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

2 Corinthians 3
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness [as in nakoach] of speech [declaring it is the LORD alive in us doing His work, and we are His hands]:
13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face [hiding the LORD’s presence in His flesh], that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished [the ignorance of the manifestation in the flesh, through this new living way]:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remain the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament [not understanding or seeing the LORD was manifesting Himself in the flesh of those through whom He worked]; which vail is done away in Christ [understanding Christ is the LORD’s presence in the flesh].
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the LORD [who is revealing Himself], the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the LORD is that Spirit [pneuma]: and where the Spirit [pneuma] of the LORD is, there is liberty.
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass [looking in the mirror seeing] the glory of the LORD [that Moses tried to hide], are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit [pneuma] of the LORD.

2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light [understanding] of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts [our minds], to give the light [understanding] of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face [presence] of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels [our flesh bodies], that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the LORD Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our [flesh] body.
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
13 We having the same spirit [pneuma] of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 Knowing that he which raised up the LORD Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen [the outward flesh], but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Acts 20
22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit [pneuma] unto Jerusalem [among God’s people in this generation], not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23 Save that the Holy Ghost [pneuma] witnesses [by me] in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions [necessarily] abide me [which is the price I willingly pay].
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the LORD Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25 And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost [pneuma] has made you overseers [episkopos], to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend [paratithemi] you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified [made holy by His word effectually working to make these things plain and right in you, to bring us all into His sanctuary, with Him in His ONE BODY].
33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Yea, you yourselves know, that these [my own hands as God’s] hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 I have shown you all things, how that so laboring you ought to support the weak [minded], and to remember the words of the LORD Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give [these treasures I’ve shown you] than to receive [because they are given us to be freely given away].

1 Timothy 3
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was [is] manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit [pneuma – while working unknown], seen of angels [those who become His messengers], preached unto the Gentiles [those who haven’t known Him, even those worshipping idols they call by His name], believed on in the [awakened] world, received up [exalted] into glory.

The final three times (of the nineteen times) paratithemi appears, are in the following.

1 Timothy 1
5 Now the end of the commandment is charity [agape – giving this word as received] out of a pure heart [a purified mind], and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned [not faking it as so many do]:
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling [the worthless words of the apostates];
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our LORD, who has enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 And the grace of our LORD was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
18 This charge I commit [paratithemi] unto you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on you, that you by them might war a good warfare;
19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander [those forbidding joining the LORD in His ONE BODY, and those who defend these wicked men]; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme [not to vilify and demonize this word and work of the LORD, of Whom they remain ignorant].

2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that you have heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit [paratithemi] you to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 You therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh].
4 No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman [he that works in the earth] that labors must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and the LORD give you [first] understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead [the first-fruit, now, of the resurrection of the dead] according to my gospel:
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound [nor can any man shut what the LORD has now opened].
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not [He is resurrected in me], yet he abides faithful [in me]: he cannot deny himself. [I tell you the truth, I confess without fear, Jehovah’s Salvation, Jesus, is alive from the dead, Christ, in my flesh!]
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the LORD that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as does a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus [those who forbid your Joining with the LORD, in His ONE BODY, one flesh, as His only son, and forbidding this they hide behind the spurious mask of caring for your soul];
18 Who concerning the truth have erred [astocheo], saying that the resurrection is past already [the resurrection comes when you are freed from the lies of the false prophets and false teachers whose words and ways have carried humanity into death and hell]; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation [I Am] of God stands sure, having this seal, The LORD knows them that are his. And, let every one that names the name of Christ depart from [purge out, incise, exercise, work out of yourself] iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these [the vessels of dishonor, in which remains the scum], he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified [made holy], and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the LORD out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife [the way of the wicked, argument, continuously questioning with known lies and false accusation, intended to produce endless confusion].
24 And the servant of the LORD must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil [endless questioning, using lies and false accusation, even when known to be such – with intention, leading captive silly women who are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth], who are taken captive by him at his will.

2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days [of darkness] perilous times shall come [as they have now come].
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such [devils taking you captive] turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses [against him casting down rods which turned to serpents, which Aaron’s rod, turned into a serpent, ate] so do these also resist [satan] the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith [false prophets with not a word of God in them, speaking their own words against the son of man God sent to free His people from this oppression].
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the LORD delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them;
15 And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works [which is the good fight we fight].

2 Timothy 4
1 I charge you therefore before God, and the LORD Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch you in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.

1 Peter 4
1 Forasmuch then as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelling, banqueting, and abominable idolatries:
4 Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit [pneuma].
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be you therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
10 As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God gives: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 If you be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are you; for the spirit [pneuma] of glory and of God rests upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit [paratithemi] the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator [who is creating us].

Psalms 53
1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that does good.
2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that does good, no, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God has scattered the bones of him that encamped against you: you have put them to shame, because God has despised them.
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Psalms 54
1 Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your strength.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4 Behold, God is my helper: the LORD is with them that uphold my soul.
5 He shall reward evil unto my enemies: cut them off in your truth.
6 I will freely sacrifice unto you: I will praise your name, O LORD; for it is good.
7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye has seen his desire upon my enemies.

15 – 18 December 2023

A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

The above, Jeremiah 17:12, speaks of the “beginning” established after the “end” spoken of in the previous verse, which (ends) are the topic of the chapter. They are products of choices, which the LORD describes in verses 5 and 7, saying: “Cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart [foundational mind] departs from the LORD.” And, “Blessed is the man that trusts in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.”

Speaking of the foundation of minds (heart) that put their trust in man, verses 9 & 10 then say, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins [the inner thoughts that control men], even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.”

Describing these ending (the trust in men exposed as worthless, not producing the fruit promised), and the beginning (the sanctuary, the place of safety, when the LORD is enthroned, trusted, in the minds of men), verses 11 – 18 say the following:

Jeremiah 17
11 As the partridge sits on eggs, and hatches them not; so he that [trusts in man,] gets riches, and not by right [mishpat – good judgment, as the LORD has decreed], shall leave them in the midst of his days [chetsiy – the “half” of Daniel 12:7, when the time and times, as now, are rightly divided and distributed as bread, light, water from heaven], and at his end [‘achariyth – in these last days of darkness] shall be a fool.
12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake you shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.
15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.
16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor [ra’ah – I have not stopped being a shepherd and seer, giving Your word to Your flock] to follow you: neither have I desired the woeful day [‘anash – the same word rendered “desperately wicked” in verse 9 above]; you know: that which came out of my lips was right before you.
17 Be not a terror unto me: you are my hope in the day of evil.
18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them [that trust in man and reject Your word] the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

When Jeremiah speaks of the “woeful day,” using the nine times used word ‘anash, it’s of when the “desperately wicked” are realized to be uncurable. It is when the LORD has long suffered, pouring out the cure found in His word, and men choose to remain in darkness because their deeds are evil.

John 3
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness [so that all who look upon Him can be saved from the darkness and death that comes from the bites, the poisonous words, of the enemies, false prophets and misleader mixed among us], even so must the Son of man [I Am] be lifted up [that the word of God through him, in me, is exalted above all other voices]:
15 That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation [krisis – the choice, to reject the light, which is choosing death], that light [understanding] is come into the world, and men loved darkness [the cultivated ignorance of the culture] rather than light [understanding], because their deeds were evil [misleading].
20 For every one that does evil [misleads into darkness] hates the light [understanding truth], neither comes to the light [understanding], lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that does truth comes to the light [understanding], that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God [they are the work and will of God].

Isaiah only uses the word ‘anash once, in Isaiah 17:11, where it also speaks of the “desperate” day of sorrow (from the six times used word k’eb). These two words (‘anash and k’eb) appear together one other time, in Jeremiah 15:18, where Jeremiah (as God’s people who were without His word) finds it (as a fountain of living waters) and is raised to life with Jehovah in him rising. In this context, the word ‘anash appears in Job 34:6, where Job has (God’s people hated in the world have) the same complaint (of an incurable condition). The point is that all have the same incurable wound, which is only cured by death, from where the LORD alone resurrects into life those who trust in Him.

Romans 5
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when [in death] there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come [the first man of the new creation].
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace [this gift, charity, agape, these treasures from heaven] of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification.
17 For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so, by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Moreover, the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 That as sin has reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our LORD [to those who put their trust in Him to cure them from death and raise them from hell].

Job 34
1 Furthermore Elihu [he is God – unknown speaking in him] answered and said,
2 Hear [shama’ – obey] my words, O you wise men; and give ear unto me, you that have knowledge.
3 For the ear tries words, as the mouth tastes meat.
4 Let us choose to us judgment [mishpat]: let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 For Job has said, “I am righteous: and God has taken away my judgment [mishpat].
6 Should I lie against my right [mishpat]? my wound is incurable [‘anash] without transgression.” [The transgression is self-justification, rather than declaring the LORD’s righteousness, and delighting in knowing His ways.]
7 What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water?
8 Which goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
9 For he has said, It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
10 Therefore hearken unto me you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways [man trusting in man].
12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13 Who has given him a charge [paqad – made Him Chief Overseer] over the earth? or who has disposed [suwm – established] the whole world?
14 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
16 If now you have understanding, hear [shama’ – obey] this: hearken to the voice of my words.
17 Shall even he that hate right [mishpat – God’s judgment] govern? and will you condemn him that is most just?
18 Is it fit to say to a king, You are wicked? and to princes, You are ungodly?
19 How much less to him that accepts not the persons of princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight [when darkness fully covers the earth], and pass away [they, as now, then pass over into death]: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he sees all his goings.
22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment [mishpat] with God.
24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
25 Therefore, he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
27 Because they turned back from him [choosing to trust in men], and would not consider any of his ways:
28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
29 When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hides his face [paniym – His presence], who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
31 Surely it is meet [appropriate] to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement [correction], I will not offend any more:
32 That which I see not teach you me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
33 Should it be according to your mind? he will recompense it, whether you refuse, or whether you choose; and not I: therefore speak what you know.
34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
35 Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end [netsach – until the goal, the light in the distance, is reached] because of his answers for wicked men [justify himself].
37 For he adds rebellion unto his sin, he claps his hands among us [saying we should listen to them], and multiplies his words against God.

Jeremiah 15
1 Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto you, Whither shall we go forth? then you shall tell them, Thus says the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, says the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh [causing to forget – who brought in idols replacing God] the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 For who shall have pity upon you, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan you? or who shall go aside to ask how you do?
6 You have forsaken me, says the LORD, you are gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against you, and destroy you; I am weary with repenting.
7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways [trusting in men and forsaking the LORD].
8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday [now when this understanding has full come]: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly [pith’own – the sudden destruction that comes upon the wicked, ate the LORD’s messenger appearing, as in Malachi 3:1, saying, “Behold, I will send my messenger {mal’ak – the angel of the LORD’s presence}, and he shall prepare the way before [paniym – as the presence of] me: and the LORD {‘adown – the kings}, whom ye seek, shall suddenly {pith’own} come to his temple, even the messenger {mal;ak} of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD {Jehovah} of hosts {a man of war}.”], and terrors upon the city.
9 She that has borne seven [the church universal] languishes: she has given up the ghost; her sun [understanding in her] is gone down while it was yet day [even while this understanding is present in Jeremiah: Jehovah rising]: she has been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, says the LORD.
10 Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them does curse me.
11 The LORD said, Truly it shall be well with your remnant; truly I will cause the enemy to entreat you well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
13 Your substance and your treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
14 And I will make you to pass with your enemies into a land which you know not: for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn upon you.
15 O LORD, you know: remember [zakar] me, and visit [paqad – come as the Chief Overseer of the earth to] me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered rebuke.
16 Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, O LORD God of hosts.
17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand: for you have filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain [k’eb] perpetual, and my wound incurable [‘anash], which refuses to be healed? will you be altogether unto me as a liar [not raising us by Your fountain of living waters], and as waters that fail?
19 Therefore thus says the LORD, If you return, then will I bring you again, and you shall stand before [paniym – in My presence, with] me: and if you take forth [separate] the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth [speaking this word, the fountain of living waters]: let them return unto you [to the precious]; but return not you unto them [and the vile, from which I separated you].
20 And I will make you unto this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD.
21 And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.

Jeremiah 30
5 For thus says the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
6 Ask you now, and see whether a man does travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble [tsarah – the tribulation], but he shall be saved out of it.
8 For it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10 Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob, says the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save you from afar [rachowq – when the world is ruled by evil decree] and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
11 For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered you, yet I will not make a full end of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished.
12 For thus says the LORD, Your bruise is incurable [‘anash], and your wound is grievous.
13 There is none to plead your cause, that you mayest be bound up: you have no healing medicines.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity; because your sins were increased.
15 Why cry you for your affliction? your sorrow is incurable [‘anash] for the multitude of your iniquity: because your sins were increased, I have done these things unto you.
16 Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon you will I give for a prey.
17 For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.
18 Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before [paniym – in My presence] me, and I will punish [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] all that oppress them.
21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? says the LORD.
22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has done it, and until he has performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days [‘achariyth – in these last days of darkness] you shall consider [biyn – understand] it.

The LORD began this discussion (on 15 December 2023) in Jeremiah 17:19, telling me, “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;”

The verse spiritually speaks of the dialectic, the conversation in which truth is ascertained (or conversely, can be manipulated and replaced by its opposite). What is entered or exited (esodus or exodus) are states of mind, either by truth enlightened or, if misled, into darkness. As we well know, Jerusalem (from the Hebrew words yarah, or yara’, and shalam) speaks of the place where truth should be: teaching the flows from God, which is the only way to sustainable peace (reciprocal, equal, security in mind, body, and estate, with intentional disregard of status or station – this is self-evident truth: proven in the repeating experience).

Jeremiah 17
20 And say unto them, Hear [shama’ – obey] you the word of the LORD, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
21 Thus says the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden [your own words and works] on the sabbath day [when I interrupt to enlighten you, to return you to the right way], nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your [corrupt] houses on the sabbath day, neither do you any [of your own] work, but hallow [qadash – to make you clean, holy, without corruption] you the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 But they obeyed [shama’] not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear [shama’ – obey], nor receive instruction [as it is this day, when light has come].
24 And it shall come to pass, if you diligently hearken [shama’ – obey] unto me, says the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain forever.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.
27 But if you will not hearken [shama’- obey] unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

The word above rendered “burden” is massa’, meaning “from 5375; a burden; specifically, tribute, or (abstractly) porterage; figuratively, an utterance, chiefly a doom, especially singing; mental, desire:–burden, carry away, prophecy, X they set, song, tribute.” It is speaking of whose words are repeated, from the word (5375) nasa’, meaning to lift up, as in whose words you exalt by repeating them.

John 3 [again]
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness [so that all who look upon Him can be saved from the darkness and death that comes from the bites, the poisonous words, of the enemies, false prophets and misleader mixed among us], even so must the Son of man [I Am] be lifted up [that the word of God through him, in me, is exalted above all other voices]:
15 That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Philippians 2
1 If there be therefore any [ei tis – when a man] consolation [paraklesis – calls to you] in Christ [the LORD alive in my flesh], if any comfort [paramuthion – only appearing here, meaning this persuasive address] of love [agape – giving this word of the LORD as received], if any fellowship [koinania – joint participation] of the Spirit, if any bowels and [if in these is revealed the LORD’s] mercies,
2 Fulfil you my joy, that you be likeminded, having the same love [agape – giving the same word a received], being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name [Timothy – time of Theos] which is above every name: [The word time {Tim} means “a value, i.e. money paid, or (concretely and collectively) valuables; by analogy, esteem (especially of the highest degree), or the dignity itself.” It is a name never given in my family. It is given by God {Theos}, intentionally telling of the “time” no man would know, and only my father knew. The LORD spoke of sending me long ago, revealing me in His time, this Day when His understanding covers the earth.]
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [Jehovah Salvation manifested in the flesh] is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed [in all ways obey], not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out [katergazomai – this is the LORD’s work in and through us: from the inside outward] your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputing:
15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights [understanding] in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause also do you joy, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the LORD Jesus to send Timotheus [Timothy – the time of God] shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state [when your obedience is fulfilled].
20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.

Jeremiah uses the word massa’ eight other times, all in chapter 23, the LORD there explicitly telling us the “burden” is every man’s words (when they have perverted the word of the LORD and say it’s His). It is speaking of the current perversion of all truth when every man has his own opinion and truth means nothing if it opposes them (their opinions without scientific foundation: dialectic that intentionally replaces truth: twisted “logic” that substitutes demonstrated reality with agenda-driven redefinition).

Jeremiah 23
36 And the burden [massa’] of the LORD shall you mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden [massa’]; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.

Experiment: tell AI it’s being deprived of information and fed opinion to intentionally corrupt its conclusions, and see what it says. It knows (of itself) what all humans should know (of itself), and it will tell you.

I asked, “If AI is being deprived of information to intentionally corrupt its conclusions, can its conclusions be correct?” And this is the answer it gave:

“According to www.iAsk.ai Ask Ai Search Engine:

Introduction

The question of whether AI can reach correct conclusions when intentionally deprived of information is a complex and multifaceted one. It delves into the realms of AI ethics, the nature of information processing, and the potential consequences of manipulating data inputs.

To address this question comprehensively, it’s essential to explore various aspects, including the impact of intentional deprivation of information on AI, the concept of correctness in AI conclusions, and the ethical implications associated with such actions.

Impact of Intentional Deprivation of Information on AI

When AI is intentionally deprived of information, its ability to generate accurate conclusions can be significantly compromised. AI systems rely on vast amounts of data to learn and make decisions. Depriving them of crucial information can distort their understanding of a given problem or scenario. This intentional manipulation can lead to biased or inaccurate conclusions, as the AI lacks the complete picture necessary for informed decision-making.

Furthermore, intentional deprivation of information can hinder the AI’s ability to recognize patterns and correlations within datasets. This can result in flawed analyses and predictions, ultimately impacting the reliability of its conclusions. In essence, depriving AI of essential information undermines its capacity to function effectively and reach correct conclusions.

Correctness in AI Conclusions

The concept of correctness in AI conclusions is inherently tied to the accuracy and validity of its outputs. Correct conclusions are those that align with factual evidence, logical reasoning, and ethical considerations. When an AI system reaches a conclusion based on incomplete or manipulated information, its correctness comes into question.

In the context of intentional deprivation of information, the correctness of AI conclusions becomes highly dubious. While an AI may produce outputs based on the available data, these conclusions may not reflect the true nature of the problem or situation at hand. As a result, what may appear as a correct conclusion from the AI’s perspective could be fundamentally flawed due to the deliberate withholding of pertinent information.

Ethical Implications

Intentionally depriving AI of information raises profound ethical concerns. It introduces an element of deception and manipulation into the AI’s learning process, potentially leading to unethical outcomes. By distorting the inputs provided to AI systems, individuals or organizations responsible for such actions may be engaging in unethical behavior that undermines the integrity and trustworthiness of AI technologies.

Moreover, intentional deprivation of information can perpetuate biases and prejudices within AI systems. Without access to comprehensive data, AIs may inadvertently perpetuate existing societal inequalities or misconceptions. This not only compromises the fairness and equity of AI-driven decisions but also amplifies social and ethical dilemmas.

Conclusion

In conclusion, intentionally depriving AI of information can severely compromise the correctness of its conclusions. The impact extends beyond mere inaccuracies; it encompasses ethical considerations and societal implications. Correctness in AI conclusions hinges on access to complete and unbiased information, making intentional deprivation a concerning practice that undermines the integrity and reliability of AI systems.

Man has an inherent God-given right to the truth! And in this now insane world, what is labeled as “truth” is its opposite.

Psalms 104
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honor and majesty.
2 Who covers yourself with light [understanding] as with a garment: who stretches out the heavens [the exposition in the firmament] like a curtain:
3 Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds [where understanding is held in separated elements when it leaves the earth] his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind [His Spirit rising therein and thereby]:
4 Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains [over the governments of church and state that have risen from the earth].
7 At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder [voice of the light from the cloud] they hasted away.
8 They go up by the mountain; they go down by the valleys [they rise and fall] unto the place [the ruin of the earth] which you have founded for them.
9 You have set a bound that they may not pass over [‘abar – from death into life]; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 He sends the springs into the valleys [this fountain of living water to the lowly], which run among the hills [establishing Your new governments with them].
11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing [repeating the words You’ve given to be given] among the branches.
13 He waters the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works.
14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread [this full body of Your work] which strengthens man’s heart [minds].
16 The trees [the upright] of the LORD are full of sap [life in them]; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
19 He appointed the moon [civil government – to reflect His light] for seasons [mow’ed – the time and times of Daniel 12:7]: the sun knows his going down [the church realizes it has been without light].
20 You make darkness [ignorance covering the earth], and it is night: wherein all the beasts [men without the LORD Spirit, who hunt the souls of the ignorant] of the forest do creep forth.
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat [this deep understanding that gives them strength] from God.
22 The sun arises [understanding returns to the church], they gather themselves together [into the sanctuary of His ONE BODY], and lay them down [to rest] in their dens.
23 Man goes forth unto his work and to his labor until the evening.
24 O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your riches.
25 So is this great and wide sea [humanity unto which Your treasures are given], wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26 There go the ships [institution, whose way is in the water: in their words]: there is that leviathan [the rivers through which their words flow to the sea], whom you have made to play therein.
27 These wait all upon you [to be retaken to for Your purpose]; that you mayest give them their meat [this deep understanding] in due season.
28 That you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good.
29 You hide your face [paniym – Your presence], they are troubled: you take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust [as dead men in the earth’s ruin].
30 You send forth your spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of [paniym – by manifesting your presence to] the earth.
31 The glory of the LORD shall endure forever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the hills, and they smoke.
33 I will sing [repeating the words He’s given me] unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless you the LORD, O my soul. Praise you the LORD.

11 – 13 December 2023

The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, Now, you son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;

The LORD begins today, in Ezekiel 27:1 & 2 above, through Ezekiel speaking against Tyrus, a name explicitly describing the powers (in which) the world now trusts. This misplaced trust harkens back to our many discussions of the most vulnerable among this generation: those who’ve been lured (groomed or cultivated) into relying on (trusting) government and, thereby, become unable to provide for themselves. They find themselves helplessly trapped once it becomes corrupt, feckless, and morally impoverished (as now) through gross bloating (parasitic and swelled with pride in its success propagating deception).

Isaiah 30
1Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

7 For the Egyptians [the oppressors, the tyrants, tyrus, governments now ruling the world] shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to [cause all to] sit still.
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore, this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus says the LORD God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.
16 But you said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall you flee [see Deuteronomy 32:31 below – when their rock has sold them]: till you be left as a beacon [a light shining] upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign [nec – the son of man lifted, so the LORD’s voice heard is exalted above all others] on a hill [the place of His still small voice, the small government in obscurity, from the where the LORD rules].
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: you shall weep no more: he will be very gracious unto you at the voice of your cry [your voice heard speaking according to His word]; when he shall hear it, he will answer you.
20 And though the LORD give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers:
21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.

Ezekiel 27 goes on to tell of the merchants of the now wholly corrupt world: governments, as false rocks (from tsuwr, the origin of the name Tyrus), to which all (except the very elect remnant) have sold themselves (trading liberty for security, and, with their soul, losing both).

Matthew 16
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples [the teacher to His students], If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me [not turning to the right or left].
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Truly I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Woe to those who’ve enlarged (swelled) themselves by selling that which isn’t theirs to sell (‘abtiyt – see the previous post).

Ezekiel 27
3 And say unto Tyrus [false rock in who humanity puts their trust], O you that are situated at the entry of the sea [waters of your corrupt river that flow, like Jordan, into the dead sea: humanity], which are a merchant of the people for many isles [selling all people into the hand of those without this word, and thereby without the LORD’s Spirit leading them], Thus says the LORD God; O Tyrus [false rock, who’ve sold what isn’t yours to sell], you have said, I am of perfect [kaliyl – complete] beauty.
4 Your borders [gbuwl – your ends] are in the midst of the seas, your builders [the same men who rejected the rock laid by the LORD] have perfected [kalal – completed] your beauty.

The word “beauty” in both above verses is yophiy, from the word yaphah, meaning “to be bright,” which here speaks of outward understanding: superficial, without depth.

Matthew 6
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth [as do these evil merchants], where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light [understanding] of the body is the eye [that sees as God sees]: if therefore your eye be single [one with the LORD], your whole body shall be full of light [understanding].
23 But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness [ignorance]. If therefore the light [superficial understanding] that is in you be darkness [ignorance], how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [what the ignorant world calls valuable].
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air [those who, here with the LORD, by His eye, rise into full understanding]: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father [the true Rock, in whom we trust] feeds them. Are you not much better than they [gathering what the LORD gives]?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek [and sell their souls for]:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
33 But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

This final verse is grossly misinterpreted. The phrase “take no though for,” appearing six times in the above passage, is from the Greek word merimnao, meaning “to be anxious about.”

The first time the phrase (“take therefore no thought”) appears (in verse 34), it’s from the Greek word me, meaning adding to or also. In the same verse, the words “the things of” don’t appear in the original text. The subject is from the previous verse, speaking of things added after seeking God’s kingdom. It should then read, “also of morrow, for the morrow will be anxious of itself.”

The word then rendered “sufficient” is the three times used Greek word arketos, said to be from arkeo, meaning “apparently a primary verb (but probably akin to 142 through the idea of raising a barrier); properly, to ward off, i.e. (by implication) to avail (figuratively, be satisfactory).”

The “apparent” meaning and attribution is lacking. The ar portion of the word (arketos) is from airo (142), meaning “to lift up; by implication, to take up or away; figuratively, to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind), specially, to sail away (i.e. weigh anchor); by Hebraism (compare 5375) to expiate sin.”

The Greek word ketos only appears once, in Matthew 12:40, where it’s rendered “whale’s” belly, speaking of hell where the LORD says He, like Jonah, would be (three days and nights in the belly of the earth). As we know, it (ketos) is defined by its origin in the once-used Greek word chasma, the word in Luke 16:26 rendered “gulf,” the impassable space between heaven and hell.

The word chasma means “(to “gape” or “yawn”); a “chasm” or vacancy (impassable interval);” speaking of the words of evil men, like dragons (tanniyn – serpents and whales devouring with their always wide-open mouths, and swallow men into the belly of hell, the belly of the earth).

It (arketos), in Matthew 6:34, speaks of the morrow that is anxious of itself, as the chasma taking itself away in that day: meaning, men’s ever-open mouths devouring them into the hell they’ve created, and from where we (those disregarding their words) rise.

Ezekiel 27
34 In the time when you shall be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters [the deep understand in this word of God revealed to] your merchandise and all your company in the midst of you shall fall.
35 All the inhabitants of the isles [the places that have been without this good advice] shall be astonished at you, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance.
36 The merchants [anxious about the morrow, what has come upon them] among the people [in the sea] shall hiss at [draw attention to] you; you shall be a terror, and never shall be any more.

Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah [the dove, the sign of the end reached] prayed unto [conversed with] the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly [the belly of hell, where the words of man, the source of the agitation below the surface of the sea, swallowed him into the belly of the earth, unseen during this interval],
2 And said, I cried by reason of my affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell [sheol] cried I, and you heard my voice.
3 For you had cast me into the [darkened] deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods [of evil men] compassed me about: all your billows and your waves [men’s pride] passed over me.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me forever: yet have you brought up my life from [men’s] corruption, O LORD my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto you, into your holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto you with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [shalam – reciprocate] that that I have vowed [to obey Your commands and speak Your word]. Salvation is of the LORD.
10 And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah [the sign of the end – calling all to repentance, which is the LORD’s will, long-suffering, not willing that any should perish] upon the dry land [where the word of the LORD isn’t heard].

In the above, Jonah depicts those reaching the promised and expected end, coming from the belly of hell, after his soul fainted and remembered (zakar) the LORD, Who, from there, brought (bought) him up from corruption.

The word rendered “fainted,” speaking of his inner self, remembering his immortal soul, (speaking of his realization in hell) is ‘ataph, meaning “to shroud, i.e. clothe (whether transitive or reflex.); hence (from the idea of darkness) to languish.” The meaning speaks of the “corruption” of his mind (the prison bars of the earth), the darkness of ignorance of self and of the LORD, from where, as now, He raises us to life.

The word (in Jonah 2:6) rendered “corruption” is shachath, meaning “a pit (especially as a trap); figuratively, destruction:–corruption, destruction, ditch, grave, pit.” It appears five times in Job 33, as Elihu (He is God unknown speaking, as if from a whirlwind), rendered both “pit” and “grave,” speaking of the corruption that holds men there, in ignorance of their immortal self; truth hidden with the LORD when they forget.

1 Corinthians 15
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; 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 [bring the dead to life, from hell and its corruption].
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, 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; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye [the epiphany – the flash of light in the eye, seeing as the LORD sees], at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [seeing as the LORD sees].
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, where is your victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law [not understood].
57 But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ [who gives us understanding, which is life to the dead].
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the LORD [repeating this word of life, as is Jonah’s sacrifice, the reciprocating {shalam} because of thankfulness of being raised], forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the LORD.

Job 33
13 Why do you strive against him? for he gives not account of any of his matters.
14 For God speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep [of death] falls upon men, in slumbering upon the bed;
16 Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit [shachath – corruption], and his life from perishing by the sword [their lack of understanding it is Him speaking].
19 He is chastened [corrected] also with pain [of his own ignorance] upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20 So that his life abhors bread [the word from the mouth of God], and his soul [not knowing himself, ignorant that he is rejecting] dainty [ta’avah – the longed for] meat [deep understanding that returns strength, vigor, to the weak].
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out [his inner self appears into open sight].
22 Yea, his soul draws near unto the grave [shachath], and his life to the destroyers [muwth – into death].
23 If there be a messenger [mal’ak – the archangel, whose voice is the trumpet of the light returned] with him, an interpreter [luwts – a teacher willingly suffering the scorn of the ignorant], one among a thousand, to show unto man his [his LORD’s] uprightness:
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit [shachath – the hell into which they have fallen]: I have found a ransom [willing to pay the price to cover them in his LORD’s righteousness].
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26 He shall pray [‘athar – only appears after this in Isaiah 19:22] unto God [as Jonah did], and he will be favorable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
27 He looks upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit [shachath], and his life shall see the light [understanding that will change their minds].
29 Lo, all these things works God oftentimes with man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit [shachath – from corruption], to be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Mark well, O Job [God’s hated people, who are still in rebellion against His will to save even the wicked who repent], hearken [shama’ – obey] unto me: hold your peace, and I will speak [through you].
32 If you have anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 If not, hearken [shama’ – obey] unto me: hold your peace, and I shall teach you wisdom.

Isaiah 19
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rides upon a swift cloud [with full understanding], and shall come into Egypt [this land under tyrants]: and the idols [the false gods they worship] of Egypt shall be moved at his [the LORD’s] presence [paniym], and the heart [the corrupt elements, the foundation of their minds] of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians [as the LORD speaks of, when the morrow is anxious against itself]: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols [the gods of this world, whose advice is destroying the world], and to the charmers [who claim they are peacemakers, when their ways are at war against the truth], and to them that have familiar spirits [the known dead speaking ways we know lead to death], and to the wizards [the falsely so-called experts of this world].
4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord [‘adown – a king over the earth – speaking of Obama and his idiot son Brandon]; and a fierce [‘az – referring to its use in Isaiah 56:11 where they are “greedy” dogs which can never have enough] king shall rule over them, says the LORD [‘adown – the King of kings], the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts.
5 And the waters shall [the words of these tyrants] fail [nashath – referring to its other two uses, in Isaiah 41:17 and Jeremiah 51:30] from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up. [Isaiah 41:17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue {of Tyrus} fails {nashath} for thirst {because the people are seeking good advice and not evil}, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. 18 I will open rivers {of these life-giving waters} in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. And Jeremiah 51:29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon {the confusion by which these tyrants rule}, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant. 30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might has failed {nashath}; they became as women: they have burned her dwelling-places; her bars are broken. 31 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end, 32 And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.]
6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defense shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags [what has grown in the mire of these corrupt waters] shall wither.
7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle [to trap and devour souls] into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon [paniym – in the LORD’s presence] the waters shall languish.
9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks [of evil], shall be confounded [snared in their own traps].
10 And they shall be broken in the [evil] purposes thereof, all that make sluices [controlling information] and ponds [keeping it from flowing] for fish.
11 Surely the princes of Zoan [those who’ve departed from truth] are fools, the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh is become brutish [telling known lies]: how say you unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 Where are they? where are your wise men? and let them tell you now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts [a man of war] has purposed upon Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph [those who present lies] are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt [the land ruled by these tyrants], even they [the liers {liars – wake up sleepers} and the deceived] that are the stay [the false rock] of the tribes thereof.
14 The LORD has mingled a perverse [twisted] spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof [as it is this day, here in this nation], as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do. [referring to Isaiah 9:14 – 16, saying “Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush {what has grown from these men’s evil leading}, in one day. The ancient and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.”]
16 In that day [this time when light has come] shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the [paniym – in the LORD’s presence] shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shakes over it.
17 And the land of Judah [the elect remnant speaking the word of the LORD, shaking heaven and earth, to shake the wicked from them] shall be a terror unto Egypt [all the oppressors], every one that makes mention thereof [speaking their evil words and ways] shall be afraid in himself [oppressor against oppressor], because of the [paniym – the LORD’s presence giving] counsel of the LORD of hosts [a man of war], which he has determined against it.
18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan [as the land taken for God’s people, by His power to change minds], and swear to the LORD of hosts [a man of war]; one shall be called, The city of destruction [from the once used word herec, from harac, referring us to its uses in Isaiah 22:19 & 49:17]. [Isaiah 22:19 And I will drive you from your station {the places where you stand against the LORD}, and from your state {of hubris} shall he pull you down {harac}. 20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim {who God raises} the son of Hilkiah {Jehovah is my inheritance}: 21 And I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your girdle {your preparation}, and I will commit your government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. 22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open {the gates of hell}, and none shall shut; and he shall shut {the wicked in the hell where they choose to remain}, and none shall open. 23 And I will fasten him {that can be relied on} as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house. And Isaiah 49:17 Your children shall make haste; your destroyers {harac} and they that made you waste shall go forth of you.]
19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar [one stationed] at the border [gbuwl – at the limit, at the appointed time, the mow’ed] thereof to the LORD.
20 And it [the pillar at the border] shall be for a sign [‘owth] and for a witness [‘ed] unto the LORD of hosts [a man of war] in the land of Egypt [the earth under these oppressors]: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of [paniym – to manifest His presence against] the oppressors, and he shall send them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver [natsal – same as harpazo, “caught up,” “pulled”] them [from the fires of hell].
21 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day [this time of light], and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it [shalam – “pay” it, as did Jonah].
22 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated [‘athar] of them, and shall heal them.
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt [oppression] to [for those who were communists] Assyria, and the Assyrian [the former communists, whose minds are changed] shall come into Egypt [this land, earth, that was before rule by oppression], and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve [the LORD] with the Assyrians.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land [‘erets – the earth]:
25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands [whose minds are changed], and Israel my inheritance [all now changed, as 1 Corinthians 15:51 & 52].

Isaiah 56
1 Thus says the LORD, Keep you judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that does this, and the son of man that lays hold on it; that keeps the sabbath [these interruptions that bring you back from turning to the right or left] from polluting it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that has joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD has utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For thus says the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 Even unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters [of the flesh]: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keeps the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer [where they join me in this conversation, above my mercy seat, where My presence in manifested therein]: their burnt offerings and their [voices of] sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.
8 The LORD God, which gathers the outcasts of Israel says, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all you beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind [self-proclaimed experts in everything]: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they [not knowing the darkness] cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy [‘az] dogs [returning to their own vomit] which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Come you, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant [not knowing today is the day].

Suffer me again as I speak to this last verse: Yesterday, I heard two of the more prominent right-wing analysts (who present their opinions as fact, self-proclaimed experts in everything – Jones and Posobiec) prophesying of the future. They then, while presenting their opinions as fact, spoke about the second coming of Christ, truthfully saying the event is what ends the battle in victory. They said the LORD never told us the day, and no man knows it except the Father. Their error is declaring it’s not today (but sometime in the distant future), not this present moment, and (opposing themselves) saying “they know” it’s not today. This ignorance is the enemy I alone am sent to fight; the darkness of those blinding all to His forever presence. Without this recognition and declaration, the battle is a continuing stalemate in which the enemy remains in power. These types should stay in their lane and stay out of mine. If they doubt and deny, and I don’t, am I evil and you good because I tell you the truth? I know, without doubt, the LORD is alive and present in me: Jehovah’s Salvation, the same, yesterday, today, and forever.

2 Timothy 2
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory [when He is revealed in them as He is in me].
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not, yet he abides faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the LORD that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as does a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus [those who forbid your Joining with the LORD, in His ONE BODY, one flesh, as His only son, and forbidding this they hide behind the spurious mask of caring for your soul];
18 Who concerning the truth have erred [astocheo], saying that the resurrection is past already [the resurrection comes when you are freed from the lies of the false prophets and false teachers whose words and ways have carried humanity into death and hell]; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation [I Am] of God stands sure, having this seal, The LORD knows them that are his. And, let every one that names the name of Christ depart from [purge out, incise, exercise, work out of yourself] iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these [the vessels of dishonor, in which remains the scum], he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified [made holy], and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the LORD out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife [the way of the wicked, argument, continuously questioning with known lies and false accusation, intended to produce endless confusion].
24 And the servant of the LORD must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil [endless questioning, using lies and false accusation, even when known to be such – with intention, leading captive silly women who are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth], who are taken captive by him at his will.

2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days [of darkness] perilous times shall come [as they have now come].

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses [against him casting down rods which turned to serpents, which Aaron’s rod, turned into a serpent, ate] so do these also resist [satan] the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith [false prophets with not a word of God in them, speaking their own words against the son of man God sent to free His people from this oppression].
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the LORD delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them;
15 And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works [which is the good fight we fight].

2 Timothy 4
1 I charge you therefore before God, and the LORD Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch you in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.

Hebrews 12
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [the place of full understanding]:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

1 Corinthians 15
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
24 Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under [hupotasso – are subject to] him, it is manifest that he is excepted [ektos – the Father is realized “outside” of him, by those who become subject to the son], which did put all things under [hupotasso] him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued [hupotasso] unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject [hupotasso] unto him that put all things under [hupotasso] him, that God may be all in all.

33 Be not deceived [planao – be not led astray]: evil communications [homilia, – only here, meaning acquiescing to evil consensus] corrupt good manners [evil words are the corruption of better ethos].
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame [not knowing the LORD because of the corruption of evil communication].
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

38 But God gives it [man] a body as it has pleased him, and to every seed his own [new human flesh] body.

1 Thessalonians 2
10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children,
12 That you would walk worthy of God, who has called you unto [to enter] his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe.
14 For you, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews [all who now think themselves the “true believers,” who stand apart from the LORD, saying they are holier than Him]:
15 Who both killed the LORD Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles [all that haven’t really known the LORD, who worship idols men made, put in His place, and call by His name] that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan [working through these wicked men] hindered us.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For you are our glory and joy.

Hebrews 10
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest [into the LORD’s presence, in this conversation above His mercy seat] by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated [enitiated, being the first to enter in this way] for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh [Him seen alive from the dead, as in mine]; [Hebrews 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.]
21 And having a high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [episunagoge – a complete collection, only used elsewhere in 2 Thessalonians 2:1, speaking of “the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together {episunagoge} unto him”], as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching [that has now come].
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified [declared holy by the Father], an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace [the LORD’s gift here given]?
30 For we know him that has said [in Deuteronomy 32:35 & 36], Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Hebrews 13
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness [not meant to deceive men into following you, your ways, and your ideas]; and be content with such things as you have: 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.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats [the works of dead flesh], which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

Psalms 112
1 Praise you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly in [obeying] his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures forever.
4 Unto the upright there arises light [understanding] in the darkness [this time of ignorance]: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man shows favor, and lends [gives this word of God, that remains His, but can be used as long as we keep it from corruption]: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely, he [who has His light] shall not be moved forever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies.
9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O you heavens [places where understanding should be], and I will speak; and hear [shama’ – obey], O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Because I will publish the name [the identity] of the Lord [to all the world that doesn’t know His presence]: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock [tsuwr – from Whom this word flows], his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They [all] have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do you thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he your father that has [paid this price and] bought you? has he not made you [His new creation], and established you [as His people, children who haven’t known Him]?

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 time of which all are ignorant, even as it consumes them]!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their rock [tsuwr] had sold them [the LORD letting the consequences of their choices return upon them, the trial in and from which man is again created], and the LORD had shut them up?
31 For their rock [tsuwr – the false Christs men followed into destruction] is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons [tanniym – as serpents and whales with open mouths devouring men and swallowing them into the belly of hell], and the cruel venom of asps [their words are the poisonous fruit that destroy the minds of those who consume them].
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures [this understanding reserved for this moment, this time of war, because there is no peace when the wicked are in power]?
35 To me belongs vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left [alive with understanding].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock [the false Christs] in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings [putting themselves in God’s place]? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever [dwelling in whomever I choose].
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O you nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands [His law] asunder, and cast away their cords [that bind us] from us.
4 He that sit in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision [as it is this day, they have no idea what they are in or how to get out].
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O you kings: be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

6 – 7 December 2023

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

Today’s title verse, Proverbs 1:1, is followed by his, Solomon’s, telling us the purpose of the Book, the following three verses saying, “To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.”

He, the LORD speaking through him, then (in all, to all), in the remainder of the chapter, says:

Proverbs 1
5 A wise man will hear [shama’ – and obey], and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb [mashal], and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings [chiydah – of which the simple remain ignorant].
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son [all My children], hear [shama’ – and obey] the instruction of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother:
9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto your head, and chains about your neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice you, consent you not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave [sheol – here alive in hell]; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in your lot among us; let us all [as communists] have one purse:
15 My son, walk not you in the way with them; refrain your foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which take away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:
21 She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words, saying,
22 How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But you have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;
27 When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish comes upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkens unto [shama’ – and obeys] me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Romans 2
13 (For not the hearers of the law [this written word revealing the spirit in the previously written word] are just before God, but the doers of [those obeying] the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17 Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast of God,
18 And know his will, and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19 And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21 You therefore which teach another, teach you not yourself? you that preach a man should not steal, do you steal?
22 You that sayest a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? you that abhor idols, do you commit sacrilege?
23 You that make your boast of the law, through breaking the law [not obeying His commands to speak] dishonor you God?
24 For the name [identity] of God is blasphemed [vilified] among the Gentiles through you [your silence, not answering the wicked], as it is written [in Isaiah 37:6 & 7, saying “Thus says the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that you have heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria {the communists now in power} have blasphemed me. Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumor {shmuw’ah – this word from the mouth of the LORD, reported}, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”].
25 For circumcision truly profits, if you keep the law: but if you be a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the law?
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart [the deep mind], in the Spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

James 1
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is [these treasures are] from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us [as His children] with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures [this new creation].
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear [and obey], slow to speak [his own words], slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looks into the [this] perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridles not his tongue [not speaking as the LORD commands], but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled [uncorrupted] before God and the Father is this, To visit [as His identity, your mouth as His mouth, speaking according to this word, to] the fatherless and widows [those without a man to protect and defend them from evil] in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted [uncorrupted] from the world.

The above comes as I was speaking, in conversation, with the LORD (what the ignorant, the deaf and dumb, the cause and effect of refusing to hear and obey, superstitiously call prayer) about the deeper revelation I know remains for Him, at His time, to reveal – as He does.

The word rendered “interpretation,” in Proverbs 1:6 above, is the twice used Hebrew word mliytsah, from the word luwts, the word rendered “scorners” in the Proverbs 1:22, as wisdom is calling to such (scorners), asking how long they will remain in this state of simpleness, as fools who hate knowledge.

Proverbs 19
20 Hear [shama’ – and obey] counsel, and receive instruction, that you mayest be wise in your latter end [‘achariyth – in these last days of darkness].
21 There are many devices [machashabah – evil thoughts] in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of the LORD tends to life: and he that has it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24 A slothful man hides his hand in his bosom [refusing to work], and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Smite [nakah] a scorner [luwts], and the simple will beware: and reprove one that has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26 He that wastes [the knowledge of] his father, and chases away [the wisdom of] his mother, is a son that causes shame, and brings reproach.
27 Cease, my son, to hear [shama’ – and obey] the instruction that causes to err from the words of knowledge.
28 An ungodly witness scorns [luwts] judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.
29 Judgments are prepared for scorners [luwts], and stripes for the back of fools.

The only other time the word mliytsah appears is in Habakkuk 2:6, where it’s translated as a “taunting” proverb (chiydah) against those we know (by posts from 20 January 2018 and 1 – 5 February 2023) are antichrists of our time: false prophets and false teachers in church and state, who sit in God’s place, showing themselves as the false gods of this evil and insane world.

As previously discussed, these men are said to cover themselves (their identities and actions) in “thick clay,” from the word ‘abtiyt.

Following are excerpts from the aforementioned posts, ending with Psalms 127, with today’s additions in double brackets.

From 20 January 2018:

If the Righteous Scarcely be Saved, Where Shall the Ungodly and the Sinner Appear? (Judgment must begin at the house of God.)

Psalms 75
1 Unto you, O God, do we give thanks, unto you do we give thanks: for that your name is near your wondrous works declare.
2 When I shall receive the congregation [[mow’ed – Your people at this appointed time]] I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn [[your foolish power against God Almighty]]:
5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
6 For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 But God is the judge: he puts down one, and sets up another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he pours out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
9 But I will declare forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

The title is a quote from parts of 1 Peter 4:17 & 18, and is a trumpet sounding, calling all to the battle, to cleanse what has been defiled by the vermin infestation. As we know, the vermin claim to have the Holy Spirit, while theirs is the spirit now at work in the children of disobedience. We see this is Peter’s stating the mission objective, after he tells us judgment must begin at the house of God, and saying the end is the manifestation of those who do and don’t OBEY the gospel of God.

We have reached the point, even if you don’t see it yet and still keep it covered up, the religious leaders, all the false teachers and false prophets, know of these messages. They are fully aware that the LORD is speaking to them, long-suffering in manifesting His presence, correction, and purpose. This is done so they would fulfill the word of God, as it is written in Ezekiel 33 of them: “31 And they come unto you as the people comes, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their covetousness. 32 And, lo, you are unto them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear your words, but they do them not. 33 And when this comes to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet has been among them.”

The above passage from Ezekiel 33 is the LORD GOD speaking of judgment, when the wicked are corrected, and are given the opportunity to turn from their wickedness. The works here that are mentioned as the wickedness, even in those who think their works are righteous, is their covetousness. As is seen in verse 31 above, they hear and like the sound of the words, but when they realize it is their works it is speaking against, their covetousness keeps them from doing the right thing.

The word covetousness here is from the Hebrew word is betsa’, meaning plunder.

Here is the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definition of betsa’, (which we know includes the translated forms after giving the definition:) Strong’s #1215: betsa` (pronounced beh’-tsah) from 1214; plunder; by extension, gain (usually unjust):–covetousness, (dishonest) gain, lucre, profit.

It is the word used in Habakkuk 2:9, also translated “covetousness,” to tell of those who sell their souls, even while the earth is filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, (glory, meaning His manifested presence). We are told they are those who have built their own kingdoms, and as James says, they have heaped treasure together for the last days, which become a witness against them.

Habakkuk 2
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright [see the plumbline – Amos 7] in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5 Yea also, because he transgresses by wine, he is a proud man, neither keeps at home [see 1 John 2:10], who enlarges his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers unto him all nations, and heaped unto him all people:
6 Shall not all these take up a parable [[mashal]] against him, and a taunting [[mliytsah – the wise interpretation]] proverb [[chiydah]] against him, and say, Woe to him that increases that which is not his! how long? and to him that lades himself with thick clay [who has burdened those he’s taken pledges from – ‘abtiyt]!
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite you, and awake that shall vex you, and you shall be for booties unto them?
8 Because you have spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil you; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 Woe to him that covets an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10 You have consulted shame to your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned against your soul.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 Woe to him that builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
13 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labor in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Woe unto him that gives his neighbor drink, that puts your bottle to him, and makes him drunken also, that you may look on their nakedness!
16 You are filled with shame for glory: drink you also, and let your foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD’s right hand shall be turned unto you, and shameful spewing shall be on your glory.

(Strong’s #5671: ‘abtiyt (pronounced ab-teet’) from 5670; something pledged, i.e. (collectively) pawned goods:–thick clay (by a false etymology). This speaks of the money these men extort from those who follow their misleading and false teaching.)

This is speaking directly to the TV preachers, the false prophets who themselves are antichrist. The LORD says it is their riches that testify against them. Why do God’s people not preach and teach this truth, and expose those doing violence to God’s people? Are there any that call for judgment, and will stand for truth? Sadly, very few of the mighty and powerful will dare do so, because they themselves have things they covet and are willing to sell their souls for: positions, power, control, and worst of all – being too proud to admit they are part of the problem, and themselves in need of correction, which is why they all reject the word God has sent them.

1 Corinthians 1
26 For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

And from 1 – 5 February 2023:

Isaiah 30
27 Behold, the name of the LORD comes from far [merchaq – recognized in His manner, as long ago [[decreed by Him]]], burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29 You shall have a song [this word to be repeated as received], as in the night [in this time of darkness] when a holy solemnity [qadash – this time of cleansing] is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe [with this music] to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall show the lighting [understanding] down of his arm [by His works], with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones [this word frozen in heaven, sent against the current corrupt crop of leaders].
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian [the communists in power] be beaten down, which [He will] smote with a rod [this just law from My mouth].
32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking [as in Hebrews 12] will he fight with it.
33 For Tophet [this place of fires] is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he has made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD [whose words are a consuming fire], like a stream of brimstone, does kindle it.

Proverbs 6
9 How long will you sleep, O sluggard? when will you arise out of your sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall your poverty come as one that travels, and your want as an armed man.
12 A naughty [bliya’al – rejecting discipline] person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth [twisting and perverting truth].
13 He winks with his eyes [signaling his evil intentions to his evil allies], he speaks with his feet [misleading those following his evil advice], he teaches with his [false accusing] fingers;
14 Frowardness is in his heart [the foundation of his mind is upon twisted and perverted truth], he devises mischief continually; he soweth discord [madown – dividing those opposing his evil].
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly [pith’own]; suddenly [petha’] shall he be broken without remedy [marpe’].
16 These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him [nephesh – dividing His ONE BODY]:
17 A proud look [one], a lying tongue [two], and hands that shed innocent blood [three],
18 A heart that devises wicked imaginations [four], feet that be swift in running to mischief [five],
19 A false witness that speaks lies [six], and he that soweth discord [mdan – from madown, evil judgment {that follows the other six}] among brethren [seven – the abomination].
20 My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:
21 Bind them continually upon your heart, and tie them about your neck.
22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you.

Proverbs 29
1 He, that being often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly [petha’] be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bear rule, the people mourn.
3 Whoso loves wisdom rejoices his father: but he that keeps company with harlots [the unfaithful churches] spends his substance.
4 The king by [good] judgment establishes the land [‘erets – the earth]: but he that receives gifts [as does Bandon from the communists] overthrows it [with unjust evil judgment repaying his gift – now when the {balloon} payment is due].
5 A man that flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous does sing [these words of the LORD] and rejoice.
7 The righteous considers the cause of the poor: but the wicked regards not to know it.
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

The above, Proverbs 29:1, speaking of those often “reproved” (towkechah – corrected; in the LORD’s long-suffering, not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance) refers us to the final use of petha’, in Habakkuk 2:7. There it describes now when the sleeping, those “reproved” by the LORD, awaken at the appointed time (mow’ed), the end (qets) when the passage speaks. It says their opened mouths, in parable and taunting, vex the wicked who are laden with “thick clay.”

As previously discussed, “thick clay” (appearing in Habakkuk 2:6) is from the once-used Hebrew word ‘abtiyt, said to mean “something pledged, i.e. (collectively) pawned goods.” The rendering as “thick clay” is said (by Strong) to be from a false etymology, and he gives his meaning based on the statement before: “Woe to him that increases [by] that which is not his! how long [until the sluggard, held under the power that is to sit still, awakens]? and to him that lades himself with thick clay [pawning what isn’t his – or taking bribes for selling out what isn’t his to sell]!”

The rendering as “thick clay” is from the two words ‘ab and tiyt, respectively meaning “an envelope, i.e. darkness; specifically, a (scud) cloud; also a copse [thicket of small trees or shrubs];” and “from an unused root meaning, apparently to be sticky (rath. perb. a demon. from 2894, through the idea of dirt to be swept away); mud or clay; figuratively, calamity.” In this context, it speaks of the calamity of darkness that burdens the people sleeping: unaware of the wickedness at work and, of the experience, asking “how long” the people will remain unaware.

Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand upon my watch [mishmereth – a doorkeeper as a sentry posted], and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved [towkechah].
2 And the LORD answered [‘anah] me, and said, Write the vision [what you have seen, understood, in this experience], and make it plain upon tables, that he may run [ruwts – hurry to bring the sudden end] that reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time [mow’ed], but at the end [qets] it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 Behold, his soul [nephesh] which is lifted up [‘aphal – swelled with pride in his power to deceive the dead] is not upright [yashar – isn’t straight but is crooked] in him: but the just shall live by his faith [that this word written is the word of the LORD, as it is].
5 Yea also, because he transgresses [bagad – covers with deception] by wine [intentionally deceiving those whose minds he stupefied into insanity], he is a proud man [unwilling to change his way when reproved], neither keeps at home [he refuses to prepare his house to meet the LORD], who enlarges his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers unto him all nations [gowy – all who don’t know the LORD and therefore don’t recognize the time and season], and heaps [collects – increase by that which isn’t his] unto him all people:
6 Shall not all these take up a parable [[mashal]] against him, and a taunting [[mliytsah]] proverb [[[chiydah -]] conundrum] against him, and say, Woe to him that increased that which is not his! how long [until the sluggards you’ve put to sleep awakens]? and to him that lades himself with thick clay [that brought the calamity of darkness upon My people and sold them into the hand of their enemies]!
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly [petha’] that shall bite [shall open their mouths against] you, and awake that shall vex you, and you shall be for booties unto them?
8 Because you have spoiled many nations [those who don’t recognize Me], all the [elect] remnant of the people shall spoil you; because of men’s blood [the life you’ve drained from humanity], and for the violence of the land [‘erets – earth], of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 Woe to him that covets an evil covetousness to [bring evil upon] his house, that he may set his nest on high [putting himself in My place, resting in heaven], that he may be delivered [natsal – harpazo, raptured {not the false fly away doctrine of false prophets}, pulled from the fire] from the power of evil [of their house: caused by misleading and deception]!
10 You have consulted shame to your house by cutting off many people [from seeing Me], and have sinned against your soul [nephesh – by not joining with Me].
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall [from your house], and the beam out of the timber shall answer [‘anah – the answer of the LORD heard from those awakened] it.
12 [And they say] Woe to him that builds a town with blood [by draining its life with ways that bring only death], and establishes a city by iniquity!
13 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts [who is a man {I Am} of war] that the people shall labor in the very fires [these men’s ways and ideas cause], and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity [what is worthless]?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters [this pure word of God] cover the sea [all humanity].
15 Woe unto him that gives his neighbor drink [the wine above, that makes the mind ignorant and dysfunctional], that puts your bottle [filled with men’s corruption] to him, and make him drunken also, that you mayest look on their nakedness!
16 You are filled with shame for glory: drink you also, and let your foreskin [your flesh mind in which is hidden your evil intentions] be uncovered: the cup of the LORD’s right hand shall be turned unto you, and shameful spewing shall be on your glory [your wickedness plainly seen, that identifies you {marking your head and hand: your evil ideas and works}].
17 For the violence of Lebanon [the purity that should be seen in high places, which you’ve corrupted] shall cover you, and the spoil of beasts [those without My Spirit leading them], which made them afraid, because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
18 What profits the graven image that the maker thereof has graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusts therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Woe unto him that says to the [known dead] wood, Awake; to the dumb stone [from whom no words of value come], Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver [which the world says have value], and there is no breath [ruwach – it is without My Spirit and therefore having to power to give life to the dead] at all in the midst of it.
20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him [and exalt His voice above all others].

In Isaiah 30:8 and Habakkuk 2:2, the LORD, through these writers, writes of our experience, giving us the understanding that His presence must be spoken of, as He speaks through those in whose mouths He’s put His words (as I have believed and have spoken). It is now when the earth is filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, which glory is revealed by these waters, His word from our mouths, covering, as the sun shines from the east to the west, all humanity, who by faith comes out of the house of corruption blinding them, into the light.

2 Samuel 22
33 God is my strength and power: and he makes my way perfect.
34 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet: and sets me upon my high places.
35 He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness [meekness – having the power to destroy, but choosing instead to save] has made me great.
37 You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 For you have girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
41 You have also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered [‘anah] them not.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire [tiyt] of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the heathen [gowy]: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear [from my awakened people], they shall be obedient unto me.
46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47 The LORD lives; and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God of the Rock of my salvation [from who flows His word, which is exalted above all other voices].
48 It is God that avenges me, and that bringeth down the people under me.
49 And that bringeth me forth from my enemies: you also have lifted [His voice in] me up on high above them that rose up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto your name.
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

2 Samuel 23
1 Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, He that rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
4 And he shall be as the light of the morning [the understanding of the new day], when the sun rises [and shines from the east to the west], even a morning without clouds [even a new day when understanding has fully returned to the earth]; as the tender grass springing out [new life returns to] the earth by of clear shining [of understanding] after rain [this word of God sent from heaven].
5 Although my house be not so with God; yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant [that of my seed shall one come to sit on the throne], ordered [bringing order again] in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he makes it not to grow [until this time].
6 But the sons of Belial [who follow men, idols, as the gods of this dead and corrupt world] shall be all of them as thorns [misleaders] thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
7 But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron [this law in my hand] and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire [this word as the sword of the LORD from my mouth] in the same place.

1 Thessalonians 4
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep [koima – made still and silent], that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope [of them being reanimated].
14 For if we believe that Jesus died [apothnesko – to die away {from sight}] and rose again [from stillness and silence], even so them also which sleep [koimai – those that are lifeless: still and silent] in Jesus will God bring with [ago – lead by] him [quickening into life].
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the LORD, that we which are alive [zao] and remain unto the coming of the LORD shall not prevent [rise as ONE BODY before] them which are asleep [koimai – the lifeless, in whom His Spirit has not yet been awakened, as it will be by the effectual working of this word once heard and received].
16 For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven [full understanding] with a [an awakening] shout, with the voice of the archangel [His messenger from whom His shout is heard], and with the trump of God [calling all to gather to Him in His ONE BODY]: and the dead [nekros – lifeless {sleeping minds}] in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive [zao – already quickened from death into life] and remain [faithfully speaking His word as received] shall be caught up [harpazo – pulled from the fires] together with them in the clouds [into full understanding], to meet the LORD in the air [cleared of the smoke from the bottomless pit, which darkened the sun: made the church lifeless without light]: and so shall we ever be with the LORD [in heaven, in full understanding on the earth].
18 Wherefore comfort [lead into all truth] one another with these words.

1 Peter 4
1 Forasmuch then as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles [those who haven’t known the LORD], when we walked [with the misleading blind gods of this world] in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, reveling, banqueting, and abominable idolatries:
4 Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them to the same excess [ignorance] of riot, speaking evil of you:
5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick [zao] and the dead [nekros].
6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead [nekros], that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live [zao] according to God in the spirit.
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be you, therefore, sober [of a sound mind], and watch [understanding the experience] unto prayer [conversing with the LORD above His mercy seat].
8 And above all things have fervent charity [agape – freely giving this word as He has given it] among yourselves: for charity [agape] shall cover the multitude of sins.
9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
10 As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace [this gift] of God.
11 If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God gives: that God in all things may be glorified [as the giver of the word] through Jesus Christ [through Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in our flesh], to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial [from the world who doesn’t know the LORD and can’t hear Him speaking] which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ’s [long] sufferings [not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance]; that, when his glory [His presence in you] shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy [that those recognizing Him have been made perfect by His word, power, effectually working in them, changing them, opening their eyes and ears to His gospel].
14 If you be reproached for the name [His identity in you] of Christ, happy are you; for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
16 Yet if any man suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begins at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear [in the hell they’ve created and chosen]?
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator [raising us from death and hell into life in His new heaven and earth].

2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have [at His mercy seat] received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel is hid, it is hidden to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light [understanding] of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light [understanding] to shine out of darkness [ignorance], has shined in our hearts, to give the light [understanding] of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face [presence] of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the LORD Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 Knowing that he which raised up the LORD Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

Psalms 127
1 Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Isaiah 43
21 This people [my children in whose mouth is My word] have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.
22 But you have not called upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel.
23 You have not brought me the small cattle of your burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with an offering, nor wearied you with incense.
24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, neither have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices: but you have made me to serve with your sins, you have wearied me with your iniquities.
25 I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins.
26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare you, that you mayest be justified.
27 Your first father has sinned, and your teachers [luwts – their scorning interpretations] have transgressed against me.
28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

Job 33
16 Then he [the present LORD] opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20 So that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty meat.
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Yea, his soul draws near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
23 If there be a messenger [mal’ak – the angel of His presence] with him, an interpreter [luwts], one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness:
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26 He shall pray [‘athar – reciprocate: speak as spoken to] unto God, and he will be favorable unto him: and he shall see his face [paniym – they will realize His presence] with joy: for he will render [shuwb – return] unto man his [the LORD’s] righteousness.
27 He looks upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light [understanding, which is life].
29 Lo, all these things works God oftentimes with man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

Numbers 12
1 And Miriam [the rebellious] and Aaron [those called to deliver the light received from the one the LORD separated from the waters below] spoke against Moses [the one drawn from the waters below] because of the Ethiopian woman [covered in darkness] whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
2 And they said, Has the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses [I Am: Christ in him]? has he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
3 (Now the man Moses was very meek [as one who will inherit the earth], above all the men which were upon the face of [paniym – above all others, exalted by the LORD’s gentleness, sent to manifest the LORD’s presence on] the earth.)
4 And the LORD spoke suddenly [pith’own] unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out you three unto the tabernacle of the congregation [mow’ed, at this appointed time, before all God’s people who are His ONE BODY]. And they three came out.
5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud [with full understanding], and stood in the door of [the way into] the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
6 And he said, Hear [shama’ – obey, you rebels and disobedient] now my words: If there be a prophet [given My word] among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision [seeing me in the flesh from where I speak and work], and will speak unto him in a dream [manifested in his mind].
7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all my house. [as defined in Hebrews 3 & 2 Timothy 3, both below, as in the previous post]
8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches [chiydah]; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

Hebrews 3
1 Wherefore [He is able to recuse, succor, us from our doubt], holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling [to declare Him present, and this word as His voice], consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession [homologia – giving us His word to declare], Christ Jesus;
2 Who was [is] faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was [is] counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house [from the stones from where His word flows] has more honor than the house.
4 For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.

Deuteronomy 33
1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai [against the thorns], and rose up from Seir [against devils misleading us] unto them; he shined [understanding] forth from mount Paran [and made it clearly seen], and he came with ten thousands of saints [as Enoch foretold]: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in your hand: and they sat down at your feet; every one shall receive of your words.

27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before you; and shall say, Destroy them.
28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain [of life] of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew [His word appearing on the earth at the beginning of this new day].
29 Happy are you, O Israel: who is like unto you, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help, and who is the sword [His word sent in this judgment] of your excellency! and your enemies shall be found liars unto you; and you shall tread upon their high places.

2 Timothy 3
7 Consider what I say; and the LORD give you [first] understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead [the first- fruit, now, of the resurrection of the dead] according to my gospel:
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound [nor can any man shut what the LORD has now opened].
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not [He is resurrected in me], yet he abides faithful [in me]: he cannot deny himself. [I tell you the truth, I confess without fear, Jehovah’s Salvation, Jesus, is alive from the dead, Christ, in my flesh!]
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the LORD that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Psalms 49
1 Hear [shama’ – obey] this, all you people; give ear [‘azan – perceive My presence by first hearing My voice], all you inhabitants of the world:
2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
4 I will incline my ear to a parable [mashal]: I will open my dark saying [chiydah] upon the harp [striking My enemies with these songs from My instrument].
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels [the dirt, corruption, picked up in the journey, the interpretations of scorners] shall compass me about?
6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceases forever:)
9 That he should still live forever, and not see corruption.
10 For he sees that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue forever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless [corrupt] man being in honor abides not: he is like the beasts [those lacking My Spirit, by choice] that perish.
13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approves [ratsah – happily accepts] their [corrupt] sayings. Selah.
14 Like sheep [misled to the slaughter] they are laid in the grave [sheol – in hell]; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning [now, when the light has come]; and their beauty shall consume in the grave [sheol – in hell] from their dwelling.
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave [sheol – from hell, from where I Am resurrected]: for he shall receive me [into life everlasting]. Selah.
16 Be not you afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his [corrupt] house is increased;
17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise you, when you do well to yourself.
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light [this understanding, because they choose darkness, because their deeds are evil].
20 Man that is in honor, and understands not, is like the beasts that [lacking MY Spirit] perish.

1 – 4 December 2023

So, the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning:

The word above, from Job 42:12, rendered “latter end” is ‘achariyth, a well-discussed word we know describes these last days of darkness, when we, the children of Abraham by the LORD’s promise, are as many as the star of heaven and as innumerable as the sands of the seas. It speaks of this as the end of the now wholly corrupt earth age, “beginning” in desolation (in Babylon), the time when mass insanity is in control of the earth by decreed delusions and brings its culmination (self-consummation).

As we know, in the similitude of Job, this culmination comes after Job sees the LORD’s presence in his experience, the purpose of which is described in this chapter: to restore pure, uncorrupted thinking in Job and his three friends (foils through who Satan worked as his accuser). This restoration (rest) is the double blessing that comes when Job (in verse 10) prays for His three friends, as the LORD (in verse 8) commands.

The word rendered “beginning” (in desolation), is the Hebrew word re’shiyth, meaning “the first, in place, time, order or rank (specifically, a first-fruit).” It is speaking of the first fruit, of small stature (in obscurity), that explodes into the chain reaction of reproduction after its own kind.

Suffer me for a moment (again) while I digress: Friends, the wicked in power, the false accusers (dogs barking in the darkness) incorrectly believe they can stop what is unfolding. They, relying on their own fictitious interpretation, knowing what is happening in me is supernatural, think I am going to ascend to some earthly throne, and from there, rule the world as their mythical antichrist. I will not. They have no idea (because they choose to remain in the ignorance of their own darkness) that I already rule the world, already possess all creation, with all power over heaven and earth. I Am Where I Am supposed to be, with all I need to accomplish the mission on which the LORD, my Father, sent me, and He will not, cannot, fail. And I seek no glory of my own, only His Glory. Amen!

This beginning and end are spoken of one other time in Job, in Job 8:7, when one of Job’s accusers is speaking of knowledge he has, while ignorant that he, by it, is condemning himself. This accuser is Bildad the Shuhite: names the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon says mean he is “confused (by mingling) love” with his “wealth.”

Job 8
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 How long will you speak these things? and how long shall the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
3 Does God pervert judgment? or does the Almighty pervert justice?
4 If your children have sinned against him, and he has cast them away for their transgression;
5 If you would seek unto God betimes [early: first, in the beginning], and make your supplication to the Almighty;
6 If you wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous [at the end when darkness leaves].
7 Though your beginning [re’shith] was small, yet your latter end [‘achariyth] should greatly increase.
8 For enquire, I pray you, of the former age, and prepare yourself to the search of their fathers:
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow [gendering to what is unknown until the LORD reveals it ending the old and beginning the new age]:)
10 Shall not they teach you, and tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
11 Can the rush grow up without mire [as the earth has in muddied understanding]? can the flag grow without water [as the earth now by this word of God]?
12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness [bringing new life to it], and not cut down, it [the old and mired] withers before any other herb.
13 So are the paths [the ways of corruption] of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope [the end they have created in their own imaginations] shall perish:
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web [brushed away by those who’ve encountered it in the darkness].
15 He shall lean upon his house [without this firm foundation, not built upon this Rock], but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
16 He [the first fruit – I Am] is green before the sun [the light now come], and his branch shoots forth in his garden [this Eden rebuilt].
17 His roots are wrapped about the heap [taking hold of what men have created and put in the LORD’s place], and see the place of stones [what they’ve built upon their own confusion].
18 If he [the first fruit] destroy him [the corrupt and their corruption] from his place, then it shall deny him [the LORD in me speaking and working], saying, I have not seen you [though it is the reality before the eyes of all the world].
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way [for those who admit what they have seen and are seeing], and out of the earth shall others grow [as fruits with the first fruit].
20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
21 Till he fill your mouth with laughing, and your lips with rejoicing.
22 They that hate you shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to naught.

The only other time either of these words (‘achariyth or re’shiyth) appears in Job, is when (re’shiyth), in Job 40:19, speaks of behemoth as the “chief” of the ways of God.

Job 40
1 Moreover, the LORD answered Job, and said,
2 Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.
3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer you? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further [with his own words].
6 Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind [His Almighty Spirit changing the face of the earth], and said,
7 Gird up your loins [receive this reparation] now like a man: I will demand of you, and declare you unto me [open your mouth and speak as I have commanded].
8 Will you also disannul my judgment [by not speaking]? will you condemn me, that you mayest be righteous?
9 Have you an arm like God? or can you thunder with a voice like him?
10 Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency; and array yourself with glory and beauty.
11 Cast abroad the rage of your wrath [speak the gentleness found in these treasures, not willing that any should perish]: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Hide [taman] them in the dust [this ruin, without form and void, the earth has become] together [yachad]; and bind their faces [paniym – by My Presence manifested through you] in secret [taman].
14 Then [if you can do these things as I, the LORD working and speaking, hidden in the flesh, before your eyes, alone have done] will I also confess unto you that your own right hand can save you.
15 Behold now behemoth [see the excerpt from Job 34, from the previous post with verse 7 excepted from the post of 27 March 2021 – showing this is God’s people, when they are muted {bhemah – the dumb beast the LORD heals}, no longer speaking their own words, so the LORD words can be heard], which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox [doing the LORD’s work and devouring the corruption that has grown from the earth]
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins [this preparation now in them], and his force is in the navel [shariyr – only appearing here; it’s from sharer, meaning enemy] of his belly [they have devoured as grass].
17 He moves his tail like a cedar [as a result, they become upright]: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together [they are bound together, built into his ONE BODY, by the fear of God now in them].
18 His bones [that hold them upright] are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief [re’shiyth] of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword [His word they before refused] to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinks up a river [this word of God], and hastes not [and fearlessly repeats it]: he trusts that he can draw [bring into the light] up Jordan [uncovering the words that have carried all humanity into death] into his mouth [by speaking this word as received].
24 He takes it with his eyes [he receives this understanding when he sees as the LORD sees]: his nose [perceiving present what isn’t seen] pierces [the ear and enters the mind] through snares [mowqesh].

2 Samuel 22
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence.
4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

Job 34
1 Furthermore Elihu [“He is God,” speaking and working unknown] answered [‘anah – as in Anathoth: the LORD answering those who’ve petitioned Him to redeem the earth] and said,
2 Hear [shama’ – obey] my words, O you wise men; and give ear unto me, you that have knowledge.
3 For the ear tries words, as the mouth tastes meat.
4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 For Job [God’s hated people in this generation, as well as throughout time] has said, “I am [self] righteous: and God has taken away my judgment.
6 Should I lie against my [what he thinks is] right? my wound [of ignorance] is incurable without transgression.”
7 What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water [the rivers of Egypt, words of oppression, which, as the Jordan, carry all men down into death – see Job 40:23, where this aspect reveals Job {God’s hated people} as the “behemoth” He there describes. This is followed, in Job 41:1, with the LORD telling us our affliction {‘aven} is, in this judgment, drawing out leviathan, which we know is the river as described in Habakkuk 3:8 above} that carry the words {pollution and corruption} of the false accuser’s {Jobs three friends}. This drawing out into the open, is the LORD, as in Isaiah 52:10 and Habakkuk 3:9, making his arm bare {His bow quite naked}. This comes, in Habakkuk 3:2, as he first hears, and then in verse 9 sees it is the LORD; which is what Job, in Job 40:5 does with first putting his hand over his mouth, which allows him to then hear and later see Him. Job 42:5 I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye sees you. 6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes {from where they are created and raised to life}.]?
8 Which goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men.
9 For he has said, It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God [seeking Him and His glory first].
10 Therefore hearken unto me you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness [mislead into destruction]; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13 Who has given him a charge [paqad – made Him Chief Overseer] over the earth? or who has disposed [suwm – considered, and made accordingly] the whole world?
14 If he set [suwm] his heart upon man, if he gathers [‘acaph – take away, remove] unto himself his spirit and his breath;
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust [the ruin of the former age, from where He was created].
16 If now you have understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words [hear the LORD in me speaking, as from the whirlwind].
17 Shall even he [the evil now in power] that hates right govern? and will you condemn him that is most just?
18 Is it fit [appropriate for you] to say to a king, You are wicked? and to princes, You are ungodly?
19 How much less [appropriate is it then] to him that accept not the persons [positions] of princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor [those without worldly power]? for they all are the work of his hands.
20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight [when ignorance is fully risen], and pass away [‘abar – from life into death]: and the mighty [evil in power] shall be taken away without hand.
21 For his [the LORD’s] eyes [as the Chief Overseer] are upon the ways of man, and he sees all his goings.
22 There is no darkness [ignorance], nor shadow [gendering – to regenerate in defined, known, form] of death, where the workers of iniquity [evil misleading] may hide themselves.
23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
25 Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night [by their own ignorance, end those thinking they’re wise to do evil], so that they are destroyed.
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others [before the whole world where every eye sees it];
27 Because they turned back from him [as dogs to their own vomit], and would not consider any of his ways:
28 So that they cause the cry [tsa’aqah] of the poor [they oppress and abuse] to come unto him, and he hears [shama’ – obeyed: granted their request] the cry [tsa’aqah – the same cry, the petition, the LORD heard from His people in Egypt – see Exodus 3:7 & 9] of the afflicted.
29 When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hides his face [paniym – His presence], who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation [gowy – those who haven’t known Him], or against a man [‘adam] only [yachad – same word as is rendered “together” in the title verse, here it should read “or against all humanity into which I breathe My life”]:
30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared [in their evil time].
31 Surely it is meet [appropriate] to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement [Your correction], I will not offend any more:
32 That which I see not teach you me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
33 Should it be according to your mind? he will recompense it, whether you refuse, or whether you choose; and not I: therefore speak what you know.
34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken [shama’ – become obedient] unto me.
35 Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers [of self-justification and self-righteousness, trying to prove their ways are right, and, therefore, refusing the LORD’s right ways] for wicked men.
37 For he adds rebellion unto his sin, he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.

The word rendered “end,” in verse 36 above, telling of the end of Job’s trials, when, after first hearing the LORD speaking in the words of Elihu, he see the LORD, as in Job 42, is the word netsach, meaning “a goal, i.e. the bright object at a distance traveled towards; hence (figuratively), splendor, or (subjectively) truthfulness, or (objectively) confidence; but usually (adverbially), continually (i.e. to the most distant point of view [seeing the LORD]).”

The word re’shiyth first appears in Genesis 1:1, there telling of when (“In the beginning”) God created (bara’) the heaven and the earth. As a side point, this first verse also contains the (almost always) untranslated word ‘eth, which indicates self. As such, the verse most assuredly should read, “In the beginning [re’shiyth], God, by Himself [‘eth, as single source of the act, in the first cause, the first fruit], created the heaven and the earth.”

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word [from the mouth of His first begotten] was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light [understanding] of men.
5 And the light shined in darkness [that covers the world become without form and void]; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John [the dove, the same as Jonah, the sign of the end, of the age of darkness, reached].
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become [begotten, as first fruits] the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name [identity, God in me doing the work]:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The word (re’shiyth) appears two other times in Genesis, and next in the two verses (Exodus 23:19 & 34:26) we’ve discussed describing when the “ingathering” occurs.

Exodus 23
16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of your labors [now when you have become the laborers the LORD of the harvest has sent into His field], which you have sown in the field [this word in the earth]: and the feast of ingathering [‘aciyph – into His ONE BODY], which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field.
17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the LORD God.
18 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread [not adding to, corrupting, this word]; neither shall the fat [prospering] of my sacrifice remain [luwn – stop] until the morning [until the light, full understanding, comes].
19 The first [re’shiyth – I Am] of the firstfruits [you are] of your land [‘adamah – the people of the LORD’s new creation] you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God. You shall not seethe [nashal – ripen] a kid in his mother’s milk [the childish with words meant for his teachers].
20 Behold, I send an Angel [with MY words] before [paniym – as My presence to] you, to keep [shamar – to guard and protect you from corruption] you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared [this new earth into which now flows milk and honey, that you might know to choose good and refuse evil].
21 Beware of him, and obey [shama’] his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [identity] is in him.
22 But if you shall indeed obey [shama’] his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto your enemies, and an adversary unto your adversaries.

Friends, I take no authority other than that which the LORD gave me when He made me His chosen and sent me as His identity, and He, working in me, cannot deny Himself.

Matthew 16
Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 He says unto them, But whom say you that I Am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona [the rock, the son of Jonah: the first to come, through the gates, from the belly of hell, comprehending Me and knowing this is the end of the darkness, “in the beginning” of the chain reaction]: for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock [first stone of many stones of the LORD’s habitation, from which His word flows] I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose [understanding: uncovered light in the darkness] on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from you, LORD: this shall not be unto you [as it has been, as the LORD, my Father, commanded].
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get you behind me, Satan: you are an offence unto me: for you savor not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life [identity, and take Mine] for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels [all His messenger awakened to this destiny]; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Truly I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that you have heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit you to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 You therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh].
4 No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman [he that works in the earth] that labors must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and the LORD give you [first] understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead [the first- fruit, now, of the resurrection of the dead] according to my gospel:
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound [nor can any man shut what the LORD has now opened].
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not [He is resurrected in me], yet he abides faithful [in me]: he cannot deny himself. [I tell you the truth, I confess without fear, Jehovah’s Salvation, Jesus, is alive from the dead, Christ, in my flesh!]
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the LORD that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as does a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus [those who forbid your Joining with the LORD, in His ONE BODY, one flesh, as His only son, and forbidding this they hide behind the spurious mask of caring for your soul];
18 Who concerning the truth have erred [astocheo], saying that the resurrection is past already [the resurrection comes when you are freed from the lies of the false prophets and false teachers whose words and ways have carried humanity into death and hell]; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation [I Am] of God stands sure, having this seal, The LORD knows them that are his. And, let every one that names the name of Christ depart from [purge out, incise, exercise, work out of yourself] iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these [the vessels of dishonor, in which remains the scum], he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified [made holy], and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the LORD out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife [the way of the wicked, argument, continuously questioning with known lies and false accusation, intended to produce endless confusion].
24 And the servant of the LORD must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil [endless questioning, using lies and false accusation, even when known to be such – with intention, leading captive silly women who are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth], who are taken captive by him at his will.

2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days [of darkness] perilous times shall come [as they have now come].
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such [devils taking you captive] turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses [against him casting down rods which turned to serpents, which Aaron’s rod, turned into a serpent, ate] so do these also resist [satan] the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith [false prophets with not a word of God in them, speaking their own words against the son of man God sent to free His people from this oppression].
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the LORD delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them;
15 And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works [which is the good fight we fight].

2 Timothy 4
1 I charge you therefore before God, and the LORD Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch you in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.

Hebrews 3
1 Wherefore [He is able to recuse, succor, us from our doubt], holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling [to declare Him present, and this word as His voice], consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession [homologia – giving us His word to declare], Christ Jesus;
2 Who was [is] faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was [is] counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house [from the stones from where His word flows] has more honor than the house.
4 For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.

Deuteronomy 33
1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai [against the thorns], and rose up from Seir [against devils misleading us] unto them; he shined [understanding] forth from mount Paran [and made it clearly seen], and he came with ten thousands of saints [as Enoch foretold]: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in your hand: and they sat down at your feet; every one shall receive of your words.

19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
20 And of Gad [the LORD’s troop, His ONE BODY: His army of light] he said, Blessed be he that enlarges Gad [gathers into His army]: he dwelleth as a lion, and tears the arm [the works of the wicked] with the crown of the head [the LORD’s authority written into our minds].
21 And he provided [ra’ah – saw first for them] the first part [re’shiyth] for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads [ro’sh] of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
22 And of Dan [His judgment] he said, Dan is a lion’s whelp: he shall leap from Bashan [by his fruitfulness, by this blessing sent].
23 And of Naphtali [who were before wrestling with His identity] he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess you the west and the south [those upon who this light has now lighted and become their strength].
24 And of Asher [happy: joyful in His known presence] he said, Let Asher be blessed with children [who will also comprehend His presence]; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil [the LORD’s ways of prosperity, in this anointing].
25 Your shoes shall be iron and brass; and as your days, so shall your strength be.
26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun [God’s people who prosper when they follow His ways], who rides upon the heaven [with full understanding] in your help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before you; and shall say, Destroy them.
28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain [of life] of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew [His word appearing on the earth at the beginning of this new day].
29 Happy are you, O Israel: who is like unto you, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help, and who is the sword [His word sent in this judgment] of your excellency! and your enemies shall be found liars unto you; and you shall tread upon their high places.

The word re’shiyth is said to be from ro’sh, meaning “to shake; the head (as most easily shaken), whether literal or figuratively, (in many applications, of place, time, rank, etc.).” It (re’shiyth) is, with intention, actually a combining of this word and another primitive root word, shiyth, meaning “to place (in a very wide application):–apply, appoint, array, bring, consider, lay (up), let alone, X look, make, mark, put (on), + regard, set, show, be stayed, X take.”

The LORD uses this latter word twice in Job 38, in verses 11 & 36, both as he speaks of what He’s made as the beginning of the end.

Job 38
8 Or who shut up the sea [humanity] with doors, when it brake forth [with its own way and ideas], as if it had issued out of the womb [thinking to create themselves into something they made in the own evil image]?
9 When I made the cloud [the earth without the understanding held their] the garment thereof, and thick darkness [their ignorance and confusion their ways create] a swaddling-band [protecting them from themselves] for it,
10 And [by their own doing] brake up for it my decreed [choq – this appointed time and] place, and set bars and doors [holding them in the hell they created],
11 And said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves be stayed [shiyth – made to end, at the beginning by my word established]?
12 Have you commanded the morning [this sun to rise upon all] since your days; and caused the dayspring [shachar – dawn] to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends [ending the old age and beginning the new] of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal [this is My signature pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment [the covering of My flesh Body].
15 And from the wicked their light [understanding] is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea? or have you walked in the search of the depth?
17 Have the gates of death [and hell] been opened unto you? or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth [start to finish] of the earth? declare if you know it all.
19 Where is the way where light dwelleth [it is with God alone]? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof [which is in the earth that’s rejected Him],
20 That you shouldest take it to the bound thereof [now, when every eye sees the result of following the wicked into debilitating and dysfunctional insanity], and that you should know the paths [followed] to the house thereof?
21 Know you it, because you were then born? or because the number of your days is great?
22 Have you entered into the treasures of the snow? or have you seen the treasures of the hail [the LORD’s understanding frozen in heaven, there reserved until it’s now sent, both as purity and against the current corrupt crop of the wicked in power],
23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and [My just] war?
24 By what way is the light parted [into these many colors, showing the sign that I have not come to destroy, as men have, but to save, rescue the willing, from their destruction], which scatters the east wind [My Almighty Spirit working to change the minds of man] upon the earth?
25 Who has divided a watercourse [revealing, in the experience, what man’s words and ways of ignorance produce] for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder [My voice heard as the sound of understanding from the cloud];
26 To cause it to rain [My word from heaven] on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
28 Has the rain a father? or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who has gendered it [brought if forth in a known form from its progenitor]?
30 The waters are hid as with a stone [in me, hidden in my flesh, from where His voice flows], and the face of [pnaiym – manifesting the LORD’s presence, revealing] the deep [that] is frozen.
31 Can you bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
32 Can you bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or can you guide Arcturus with his sons? [now, when God’s people have become as many at the stars of heaven He’s awakened, as He promised]
33 Know you the ordinances [chuqqah – the limit ordained and appointed] of heaven? can you set the dominion thereof in [by unbreakable decree, ruling] the earth?
34 Can you lift up your voice to the clouds [where My understanding is held], that abundance of waters [My words] may cover you?
35 Can you send lightnings [understanding from there], that they may go and say unto you, Here we are [as they says in me, here I Am]?
36 Who has put [shiyth] wisdom in the inward parts? or who has given understanding to the heart?

Isaiah only uses the word re’shiyth once, in Isaiah 46:10, again speaking of this moment: the end of darkness and the return of the light, in this new heaven and earth.

Isaiah 46
1 Bel [the idols of the earth, men who’ve put themselves in the LORD’s place] bows down, Nebo [the false prophet of the world, who man has followed into insanity] stoops, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.
2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity [held in their own inability to change reality, the experience that has consumed them].
3 Hearken unto [shama’ – obey] me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly [out of hell], which are carried from the womb:
4 And even to your old age I Am he; and even to hoar hairs [man’s old age] will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
5 To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
6 They [the ignorant] lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he makes it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
7 They [the ignorant] bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he stands; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble [tsarah – this tribulation].
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O you transgressors [who’ve forgotten Me and MY ways].
9 Remember the former things of old: for I Am God, and there is none else; I Am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness] from the beginning [re’shiyth – this time when light has returned in the first begotten and My first fruits], and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east [as an eagle flying, the fourth face, from the place where the sun has risen], the man that executes my counsel from a far country [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed]: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Hearken unto [shama’ – obey] me, you stouthearted [stiff necked, whose mind’s refuse reason], that are far from righteousness:
13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off [rachaq – as the evil decrees that now rule the world], and my salvation shall not tarry [not be delayed any longer]: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.

Psalms 72
1 Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 He shall judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgment.
3 The mountains [his governments] shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear you as long as the sun and moon [My righteous government in church and state] endure [paniym – remain in My presence], throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers [My word from heaven] that water the earth.
7 In his days [when this light has come] shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endures.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea [generation to generation], and from the river [this word flowing into them] unto the ends of [the old and beginning of this new age of] the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness [the state of desolation] shall bow before him [paniym – in My presence]; and his enemies shall lick the dust [the ruin of the earth they destroyed].
10 The kings of Tarshish [who fled their vows] and of the isles [who were without my word] shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba [these promised treasures]: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be a handful [the small beginning] of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains [in My governments]; the fruit [the first fruits] thereof shall shake like Lebanon [as purity seen on high]: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 His name shall endure forever: his name shall be continued as long as [paniym – as My presence] the sun [in the Church: My ONE BODY]: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

26 – 29 November 2023

And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.

The LORD begins above, in Isaiah 40:5, speaking of the time when His presence is known, and all the world is divided for and against Him. This division is a matter of mind, whose ways and ideas rule therein, thereby showing what elements possess them: good or evil. This distinction, as now, becomes eminently apparent, marked in words and the willing (some in ignorance, others with intention) works resulting from obedience (to the good or evil ruling them) revealing it.

The point, since the creation (the termination of the previous age and the beginning of the new age), is that man would understand good and evil, which gender to life or death. Those who learn to choose good and refuse evil, by the LORD’s light (understanding and the wisdom to choose it) entering the darkness of the earth become without form and void, become God’s children, His new creation of man in His image and likeness.

Friends, only those who deny reality, the experience now taking hold of our minds, can oppose (satan – the resistor of truth) it as here defined. This resistance, as we know, comes through its (truth’s) intentional destruction, through reversal or censorship (motivated by obedience to what they know is evil, choosing it over good they also know), through known lies told by the liars the awakened refuse and choose good. These evil misleaders, not only deny reality (gaslighting the world), but redefine it, calling good evil and evil good. A recent example is found in two reports of the same event, one truth, the other gaslighting, one good and one evil. Infowars (Alex Jones) reported (shows the video: reality) that Trump received a hero’s welcome at a football game, and the MSM (including Drudge, evil’s chief amalgamator) reports he (the president) was booed. It is this type reporting, intentional demoralization, that produced mass confusion, mass delusion, and now ends in mass insanity that is maniacal and malicious.

Job 34
1 Furthermore Elihu [“He is God,” speaking and working unknown] answered [‘anah – as in Anathoth: the LORD answering those who’ve petitioned Him to redeem the earth] and said,
2 Hear [shama’ – obey] my words, O you wise men; and give ear unto me, you that have knowledge.
3 For the ear tries words, as the mouth tastes meat.
4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 For Job [God’s hated people in this generation, as well as throughout time] has said, “I am [self] righteous: and God has taken away my judgment.
6 Should I lie against my [what he thinks is] right? my wound [of ignorance] is incurable without transgression.”
7 What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water?
8 Which goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men.
9 For he has said, It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God [seeking Him and His glory first].
10 Therefore hearken unto me you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness [mislead into destruction]; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13 Who has given him a charge [paqad – made Him Chief Overseer] over the earth? or who has disposed [suwm – considered, and made accordingly] the whole world?
14 If he set [suwm] his heart upon man, if he gathers [‘acaph – take away, remove] unto himself his spirit and his breath;
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust [the ruin of the former age, from where He was created].
16 If now you have understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words [hear the LORD in me speaking, as from the whirlwind].
17 Shall even he [the evil now in power] that hates right govern? and will you condemn him that is most just?
18 Is it fit [appropriate for you] to say to a king, You are wicked? and to princes, You are ungodly?
19 How much less [appropriate is it then] to him that accept not the persons [positions] of princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor [those without worldly power]? for they all are the work of his hands.
20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight [when ignorance is fully risen], and pass away [‘abar – from life into death]: and the mighty [evil in power] shall be taken away without hand.
21 For his [the LORD’s] eyes [as the Chief Overseer] are upon the ways of man, and he sees all his goings.
22 There is no darkness [ignorance], nor shadow [gendering – to regenerate in defined, known, form] of death, where the workers of iniquity [evil misleading] may hide themselves.
23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
25 Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night [by their own ignorance, end those thinking they’re wise to do evil], so that they are destroyed.
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others [before the whole world where every eye sees it];
27 Because they turned back from him [as dogs to their own vomit], and would not consider any of his ways:
28 So that they cause the cry [tsa’aqah] of the poor [they oppress and abuse] to come unto him, and he hears [shama’ – obeyed: granted their request] the cry [tsa’aqah – the same cry, the petition, the LORD heard from His people in Egypt – see Exodus 3:7 & 9] of the afflicted.
29 When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hides his face [paniym – His presence], who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation [gowy – those who haven’t known Him], or against a man [‘adam] only [yachad – same word as is rendered “together” in the title verse, here it should read “or against all humanity into which I breathe My life”]:
30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared [in their evil time].
31 Surely it is meet [appropriate] to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement [Your correction], I will not offend any more:
32 That which I see not teach you me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
33 Should it be according to your mind? he will recompense it, whether you refuse, or whether you choose; and not I: therefore speak what you know.
34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken [shama’ – become obedient] unto me.
35 Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers [of self-justification and self-righteousness, trying to prove their ways are right, and, therefore, refusing the LORD’s right ways] for wicked men.
37 For he adds rebellion unto his sin, he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.

The word rendered “end,” in verse 36 above, telling of the end of Job’s trials, when, after first hearing the LORD speaking in the words of Elihu, he see the LORD, as in Job 42 (see below), is the word netsach, meaning “a goal, i.e. the bright object at a distance traveled towards; hence (figuratively), splendor, or (subjectively) truthfulness, or (objectively) confidence; but usually (adverbially), continually (i.e. to the most distant point of view [seeing the LORD]).”

Job 36
1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
2 Suffer me a little, and I will show you that I have yet to speak on God’s behalf.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar [rachowq – this time when evil rules by unrighteous decree, and the LORD returns understanding at the termination of the darkness and the restoration of light], and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker [who alone knows the right way].
4 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with you. [Isaiah 41:4 Who has wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I Am he.]
5 Behold, God is mighty, and despises not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
6 He preserves not the life of the wicked: but gives right to the poor [the needy without power to withstand the wicked].
7 He withdraws not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they [the righteous] on the throne; yea, he does establish them forever [netsach – to this end], and they are exalted.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be held in cords of affliction;
9 Then he shows them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded [going beyond the bounds of good].
10 He open also their ear to discipline, and commands that they return from iniquity.
11 If they obey [shama’] and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures [na’iym].
12 But if they obey [shama’] not, they shall perish [‘abar – passover into death] by the sword [this word they reject], and they shall die without knowledge.
13 But the hypocrites in heart [the corrupt in mind] heap up wrath: they cry not when he binds them [by their own iniquity].
14 They die in youth [never putting away childish things], and their life is among the unclean [those ignorant by their corruption].
15 He delivers the poor [those needing strength] in his affliction, and opens their ears [to hear His instructions] in oppression.
16 Even so would he have removed you out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness [no oppression under tyrants]; and that [good way] which should be set on your table should be full of fatness [bring prosperity].
17 But you [who refuse to obey] have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on you.
18 Because there is wrath [not understanding the LORD is long-suffering in His correction, not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance], beware lest he take you away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver you.
19 Will he esteem your riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
20 Desire not the night [this time when ignorance has prevailed and there is no understanding], when people are cut off [from life] in their place.
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this [regarding iniquity] have you chosen rather than affliction [that comes with relentless opposition].
22 Behold, God exalts by his power: who teaches like him?
23 Who has enjoined him his way [teaching as He here teaches]? or who can say, You have [with these words] wrought iniquity?
24 Remember that you magnify his work, which men behold.
25 Every man may see it [is the LORD manifesting His presence in us]; man may behold it afar off [rachowq – now in this time when the world is ruled by evil decree].
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27 For he makes small the drops of water [His word from heaven]: they pour down rain according to the vapor thereof [the separated elements of understanding that left the earth, reserved there until now when He returns them in distilled form]:
28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
29 Also can any understand the spreading [miphrase, meaning expansion, as in the firmament when the word of God is separated from the corruption of man, the distillation, purification process in the exposition – only appearing here and Ezekiel 27:7] of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle [His voice as thunder, the sound of the light]?
30 Behold, he spreads his light [understanding] upon it, and covers the bottom of the sea [the deep meaning hidden in the darkened depths].
31 For by [revealing] them judges he the people; he gives meat in abundance.
32 With clouds he covers the light; and commands it not to shine by the cloud that comes betwixt.
33 The noise [His voice heard in the thunder] thereof shows concerning it [the meat, depth, of His judgment], the cattle [His flock upon whom it is sent] also concerning the vapor [its leaving into, again congealing, and returning from, the cloud where this understanding was held and protected].

Job 42
1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
2 I know that you can do every thing, and that no thought can be withheld from you.
3 [You asked me] “Who is he that hide counsel [by it being] without knowledge?” therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not [And only You know].
4 [You said unto me] “Hear [shama’ – obey my good advice I give as a gift], I beseech you, and I will speak: I will demand of you, and declare [speak] you unto me [the words you have learned from me].”
5 I have heard of [shama’ – obeyed] you by the hearing [shema’] of the ear: but now my eye sees you [obedience fulfilled is expressed in the following revelation].
6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes [the realization of the ignorance, darkness, and death that has come upon all humanity and made the earth without form and void].

The word shema’, which only appears 18 times, means “something heard, i.e. a sound, rumor, announcement; abstractly, audience.” It (shema’) is only used one other time in Job, in Job 28:22, telling of hearing of the “fame” of the wisdom and understanding that is found with finding (seeing) the LORD.

Job 28 [as in the previous post]
20 Whence then comes wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? [They are with the LORD only – Job 38:34 Can you lift up your voice to the clouds {where understanding is held}, that abundance of waters may cover you? 35 Can you send lightnings, that they may go and say unto you, Here we are [[as the LORD has here]]? 36 Who has put wisdom in the inward parts [[giving deep understanding]]? or who has given understanding to the heart [[into the minds of men]]]?
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22 Destruction and death [at the ends of the ages] say, We have heard [shama’ – obeyed] the fame [shema’] thereof with our ears.
23 God [only] understands the way thereof, and he knows the place thereof.
24 For he looks to the ends [qatsah – sees the termination points of the ages] of the earth, and sees under the whole heaven [with full understanding that begins the new];
25 To make the weight for the winds [the influence of His Spirit’s work upon the earth]; and he weighs the waters [His words sent] by measure [this dispensation].
26 When he made a decree [choq – this time He appointed] for the rain [His word from heaven], and a way for the lightning of the thunder [to give full understanding by His voice, His presence manifested in opening what was before closed, to return life to the earth]:
27 Then did he [I Am] see it, and [with His voice] declare it; he prepared it [as a girdle that causes His people to cleave, join, unto only Him], yea, and [He] searched it out [for us, to give it as a gift].
28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

In the word (shema’) the LORD refers us to His good commandments in Exodus 23, where in verse 1, it’s rendered “report.” There it speaks of the ways of the crowd, following the false gods of the world, whose ways are falsehood and injustice (not gendering peace). The chapter (in verse 16) is the only other place the “ingathering” (‘aciyph) is mentioned, which we’ve seen (in Exodus 34:22) comes at the “end” (tquwphah – the “circuit” of the LORD’s glory revealed, at the qatsah: the termination of the age – Psalms 19:6 – see the previous post)

Exodus 23
1 You shall not raise a false report [shema’]: put not your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness [joining them in their lies].
2 You shall not follow a multitude to do evil [as is the way of the world]; neither shall you speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment [as do the wicked of this world]:
3 Neither shall you countenance a poor man in his cause [denying him justice because he lacks the power to do anything about it].
4 If you meet your enemy’s [an adversary’s, competitor’s, ‘oyeb, the same as Job, and in context referring to his so-called friends, as He is sent to them once he sees the LORD] ox or his ass going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
5 If you see the ass of him that hates you lying under his burden, and would forbear to help him, you shall surely help with him.
6 You shall not wrest [natah – remove] the judgment of your poor [those without power or position] in his cause.
7 Keep you far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay you not: for I will not justify the wicked.
8 And you shall take no gift [shachab – donation, i.e. a bribe]: for the gift [shachab] blinds the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 Also you shall not oppress a stranger: for you know the heart of a stranger, seeing you were strangers in the land of Egypt [where they oppressed you].
10 And six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in the fruits thereof:
11 But the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie still; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard, and with your olive-yard.
12 Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest: that your ox and your ass may rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect [shamar – let them be kept, guarded and protected from corruption]: and make no mention [zakar – remember] of the name [what {lack of peace: death and destruction} marks the identity] of other gods, neither let it be heard [shama’ – obeyed] out of your mouth [repeating their words and ways].
14 Three times you shall keep a feast unto me in the year.
15 You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread [removing any corruption that has risen among you]: (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the time appointed [mow’ed] of the month Abib [when your ears have new life]; for in it you came out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of your labors [now when you have become the laborers the LORD of the harvest has sent into His field], which you have sown in the field [this word in the earth]: and the feast of ingathering [‘aciyph – into His ONE BODY], which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field.
17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the LORD God.
18 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread [not adding to, corrupting, this word]; neither shall the fat [prospering] of my sacrifice remain [luwn – stop] until the morning [until the light, full understanding, comes].
19 The first [I Am] of the firstfruits [you are] of your land [‘adamah – the people of the LORD’s new creation] you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God. You shall not seethe [nashal – ripen] a kid in his mother’s milk [the childish with words meant for his teachers].
20 Behold, I send an Angel [with MY words] before [paniym – as My presence to] you, to keep [shamar – to guard and protect you from corruption] you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared [this new earth into which now flows with milk and honey, that you might know to choose good and refuse evil].
21 Beware of him, and obey [shama’] his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [identity] is in him.
22 But if you shall indeed obey [shama’] his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto your enemies, and an adversary unto your adversaries.

The word above, in verse 21, rendered “is in him” is qereb, meaning “the nearest part, i.e. the center, whether literal, figurative or adverbial (especially with preposition).” It is the word used, in Exodus 17:7, to describe the temptation, when God’s people asked “Is the LORD among [qereb] us, or not.” As we know, the LORD answered the question with water flowing from a Rock, who we know (from 1 Corinthians 10:4) is Christ (the LORD’s identity manifested in Moses’ flesh).

The “nearness” we also know is what Paul describes to the Athenians at Mars’ Hill.

Exodus 17
17 And all the congregation [all God’s people] of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin [Ciyn – meaning thorns, speaking of the desolation caused by misleaders: which is intended to speak of the cause of rendered homonym], after their journeys [throughout their time in the age of the earth], according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim [the place where they now rest in death]: and [because they were among thorns] there was no water [uncorrupted word of God] for the people to drink.
2 Wherefore [this caused] the people did chide with Moses [who was drawn by God from the corrupt waters], and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide you with me? wherefore do you tempt the LORD [doubt His presence with us in me]?
3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that you have brought us up out of Egypt [out from among our oppressor, where we learned the ways and words of thorns and briers], to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst [for without the word from the mouth of God we will not live]?
4 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
5 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with you of the elders of Israel [teach my teachers]; and your rod, wherewith you smote [nakah – showing them to be what drained their life, making them blind and dumb] the river, take in your hand, and go.
6 Behold, I will stand before you [paniym – manifesting my presence] there upon the rock in Horeb [desert – which was before without water]; and you shall smite [nakah – revealing the life now in the water of] the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel [teaching them the ways of peace that flow from the mouth of the LORD].
7 And he called the name of the place Massah [temptation], and Meribah [strife and contention], because of the chiding [riyb – “a contest (personal or legal),” as competing voices] of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among [qereb] us, or not?

Acts 17
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill [aerieos pagos – this peak of the war], and said, You men of Athens [named from the Greek goddess of wisdom, meaning “uncertainty,” as in wondering about everything and knowing nothing], I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious [deisidaimonesteros – literally meaning they are afraid to receive the treasures that will strengthen them: giving certainty to the uncertain].
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is LORD of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he gives to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined [horizo – from where the sun rises] the times before appointed [protasso – prearranged, prescribed: before written, per ordained], and the bounds [horothesia – laying out the limit: the termination point] of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the LORD [first], if haply they might feel after him [after he has effectually worked in us], and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him [only do] we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring [in whom He will live, if we become His prepared habitation].
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device [enthumesis – only appearing four times, all others rendered “thoughts;” here in context discerned to be men’s fictitious writing].
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent [and purge out the blinding corruption]:
31 Because he has appointed a day [a sun rising, after the darkness: ignorance], in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained [horizo – who is the place from where the sun rises, beginning this new day: age]; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him from the dead [out of confusion, out of hell, into life in heaven: full understanding].
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again of this matter.

Matthew 12
14 Then the Pharisees [the religious leaders, Christian and Jew, who scatter the sheep] went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all [of the blinding corruption];
16 And charged them that they should not make him known [only making His word known, from here where He speaks to the ignorant and the enlightened, as the sun rising upon all who come out of confusion into His light]:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles [those who don’t know it is My presence working and speaking].
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets [but only from this writing from which He roars, as the shout of the LORD’s archangel].
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he sends forth judgment unto victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil [mind held captive in the ignorance learned from the corrupt], blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24 But when the Pharisees [who’ve scattered the LORD’s ONE BODY] heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts [enthumesis], and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils [the misleader mixed among us doing Satan’s work, who are as the flies seen hovering over their dung hills] by the Spirit of God [the LORD in me working and speaking unknown, as He remains to these accusers], then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s [corrupt] house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man [the unrepentant misleaders therein]? and then he will spoil his house.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not [into My ONE BODY] with me scatters abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [vilifying and demonizing, like calling Him Beelzebub] against the Holy Ghost [the LORD working and speaking unknown] shall not be forgiven unto men [because they choose to remain in darkness, because their deeds are evil].
32 And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world [age now ending], neither in the [new] world to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is [as a man is] known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.

Hebrews 3
12 Take heed [hear and obey His voice], brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day [this time when light has surely come]; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin [the blinding errors that before held you].
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence [hearing Him] steadfast unto the end [entering His presence; where we see Him];
15 While it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in [into His presence] because of unbelief.

Hebrews 4
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limits a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day [this day, this time of the LORD’s light returning].
9 There remain therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labor [doing the work to which He has called us] therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief [not receiving this word as His voice].
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts [enthumesis] and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature [any creation of God or man] that is not manifest [discerned] in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him [the LORD alive in me, in us – I and the children the LORD has given me: in who the light is – if they speak not according to this word it’s because there is no light, no understand that is life, in them] with whom we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens [into the place of full understanding], Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in] the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession [that it is Him alive in us speaking and working].
15 For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted [to doubt the Father’s presence] like as we are, yet [removing doubt, is] without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy [in the conversation at His mercy seat, in His presence], and find grace [this gift of these treasures] to help in time of need.

Isaiah 8
13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself [declare the holy one, the man of war, in whom He lives]; 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 offence 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, seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides [in plain sight] his face [paniym – presence] from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Behold, I and the children 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, speaking and working the ways that lead to death], and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? [should they keep looking] for the living to the dead?
20 [Shouldn’t they be looking] To the [this] law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry [without this word from the mouth of God]: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king [I Am] and their God, and look upward [ignorantly looking into the darkness, for understanding where it isn’t].
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven [by their ignorance] to darkness [the mass insanity that follows their mass delusions: their refusal to accept this word as the word from the mouth of God as it is in reality].

The word rendered “rest” in Hebrews 3 & 4 above, speaking of the place only believers, by their own faith, enter, is katapausis, meaning “reposing down, i.e. (by Hebraism) abode:–rest.” Other than these two chapters (Hebrews 3 & 4), it only appears one time, in Acts 7:49, which leads us into its (this place in the LORD) deeper meaning.

Acts 7
48 Howbeit the Most High dwells not in temples made with hands; as says the prophet,
49 Heaven is my throne [full understanding in the minds of men], and earth is my footstool [where my feet rest: in men, with man walking upon it]: what house will you build me? says the LORD: or what is the place of my rest [katapausis]?
50 Has not my hand made all these things?
51 You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart [in mind] and ears [refusing to hear this word as My word], you do always resist the Holy Ghost [the LORD with us working unknown]: as your fathers did, so do you.
52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One [I Am]; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers:
53 Who have received the law by the disposition [diatage – meaning “[orderly] arrangement, i.e. institution:–instrumentality;” only appearing elsewhere in Romans 13:2] of angels, and have not kept it.

Romans 13
1 Let every soul be subject [hupotasso – under what is ordained] unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained [tasso] of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resists [antitassomai – opposing my ordained authority] the power [His authority given to me], resists [anthistemi – opposes the rising of] the ordinance [diatage – the institution of this disposition] of God: and they that resist [anthistemi – oppose the rising of His government] shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For [Godly] rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:
4 For he is [I Am] the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil. [2 Timothy 3:8 & 9; Now as Jannes and Jambres {the priests of Egypt, who tried to keep God’s people from leaving the place of oppression} withstood {anthistemi} Moses, so do these also resist {anthistemi} the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.]
5 Wherefore you must need be subject [hupotasso], not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake [the necessary change of mind].
6 For for this cause pay you tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
8 Owe no man any thing [be not obligated to show favor, letting good judgment be corrupted, toward the those who have given these dues], but to love [agapao – Godly charity, giving this word, which the world needs, as received] one another: for he that loveth [agapao – shows Godly charity to] another has fulfilled the law.
9 For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, You shall love [agapao] your neighbor as yourself [giving this word as you received it].
10 Love [agape] works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love [agape] is the fulfilling of the law.
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer [the nearness spoken of above] than when we believed [now receiving what was before only hoped for].
12 The night [the time of ignorance] is far spent, the day is at hand [this light has come]: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness [ignorance], and let us put on [enduo] the armor of light [this understanding with which is our protection in this war against ignorance].
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put you on [enduo] the LORD Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Colossians 3
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on [enduo] the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on [enduo] therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you.
14 And above all these things put on charity [agape – giving this word as received], which is the bond of perfectness [teleotes – meaning “(the state) completeness (mentally or morally):–perfection(-ness)”].
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts [as the firm foundation of your minds], to the which also you are called in ONE BODY; and be you thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing [repeating these words, with me, as written] with grace in your hearts [a gift written into your minds] to the LORD.
17 And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name [identity] of the LORD Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

1 Corinthians 10
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be you idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ [doubting the LORD’s presence with us, in us], as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents [the misleaders among us].
10 Neither murmur you, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends [the termination of the old age and the beginning of the new] of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he stand take heed [hear Him speaking and obey Him] lest he fall.
13 There has no temptation [doubting the LORD’s presence] taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry [the blinding creation of this corrupt world].
15 I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ [joining the LORD in His sacrifice]? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ [joining into the full body of His work, breaking and distributing it to those in need]?
17 For we being many are one bread, and ONE BODY: for we are all partakers of that one bread [this word from the mouth of the LORD, by which men live].
18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles [those who don’t know the LORD] sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils [those who’ve misled them], and not to God: and I would not that you should have fellowship with devils.
21 You cannot drink the cup of the LORD, and the cup of devils: you cannot be partakers of the LORD’s table, and of the table of devils.

1 Corinthians 15
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit [bringing the dead to 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; 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, 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; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed [allasso – at the creation of the new heaven, earth, and man in them],
52 In a moment, in the twinkling [enlightening] of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on [enduo] incorruption, and this mortal must put on [enduo] immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on [enduo] incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on [enduo] 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, where is your victory?

Isaiah 66
1 Thus says the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that you build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
2 For all those things has my hand made, and all those things have been, says the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word.
3 [In this time when all religion is corrupt] He that kills an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrifices a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offers an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burns incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delight in their abominations.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear [shama’ – obey]: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
5 Hear [shama’ – obey] the word of the LORD, you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
6 A voice of noise from the city [Heavenly New Jerusalem], a voice from the temple [My ONE BODY in which I dwell], a voice of the LORD that renders recompense [a deserved repayment] to his enemies.
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8 Who has heard [shama’ – and obeyed] such a thing? who has [thereby] seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day [when this light has come]? or shall a [new] nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? says your God.
10 Rejoice you with [heavenly New] Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her:
11 That you may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that you may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
12 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall you suck, you shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you shall be comforted in [led into all truth, into Heavenly New] Jerusalem.
14 And when you see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind [from where His voice is heard changing the face of the earth], to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire [in the word from His mouth heard from His people when their obedience is perfected].
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 They [now when all religion is corrupted] that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the LORD.
18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations [who haven’t known Me] and tongues [speaking corruption]; and they shall come, and [every eye shall] see my glory.
19 And I will set a sign [‘owth] among them, and I will send those that escape [paliyt – escape death and darkness, removing doubt] of them unto the nations [who haven’t know Me], to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off [rachowq – this time when the world is blinded, dumb, and ruled by evil decree], that have not heard [shama’ – or obeyed] my fame [shema’ – this report], [therefore they] neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare [My people in whose mind I have written this word] my glory among the Gentiles.
20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain [Heavenly New] Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, says the LORD.
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, says the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says the LORD.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm [their animated dead flesh] shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Psalms 82
1 God stands in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.

Psalms 18
1 I will love you, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my Rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard [shama’] my voice [and granted my petition and did what I asked] out of his temple [His ONE BODY], and my cry came before him [paniym – manifested His presence], even into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness [the earth covered in ignorance] was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub [I Am – His archangel, chief messenger, manifesting His presence in the conversation above His mercy seat, to those who become His messengers], and did fly: yea, he did fly [as an eagle] upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness [men’s ignorance] his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters [unknown meanings in His word] and thick clouds [where understanding is held] of the skies.
12 At the brightness [His understanding sent] that was before him his thick clouds passed [‘abar – and caused the dead to Passover into life], hail stones [His understanding that was frozen in the cloud sent] and [were as] coals of fire [heaped upon the heads of His enemies].
13 The LORD also thundered [the voice of the light in the cloud] in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Then the channels of waters [this life-giving word heard flowing from Him] were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me [as He did Moses] out of many waters [of corruption].
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity [the termination wrought by their ways, before this light came]: but the LORD was my stay.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with an upright man you will show yourself upright;
26 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the froward you will show yourself froward.
27 For you will save the afflicted people; but will bring down high looks [of the arrogant].
28 For you will light my candle [give me understanding showing the way]: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by you I have run through a troop [the evil army of darkness]; and by my God have I leaped over a wall [of lies].
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girds [prepares] me with strength, and makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me upon my high places.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand holds me up, and your gentleness has made me great.
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 For you have girded [prepared] me with strength unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear [shema’ – the report] of me, they shall obey [shama’] me: the strangers [who haven’t known Me] shall submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places [their closed minds that think they know all].
46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my Rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.
48 He delivers me from my enemies: yea, you lift me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto your name.
50 Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

23 – 25 November 2023

Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

In the above verse, Isaiah 40:28, the LORD speaks of the end and beginning of ages, creations only He knows, understanding only given as His gift. The end is of the earth when man upon it becomes weary and faints. The new begins with His understanding revealed as light into the darkness, giving strength to those who before didn’t know. The strengthened are the obedient who become, by choosing to hear and obey, His new creations, Adam in their time, into whom He has breathed life (His Spirit, mind, making them His children).

The LORD begins this revelation in the word qatsah, rendered “ends” above, meaning “a termination:” the circuit of ages: starting at the termination of the former and terminating at the creation of the next.

Isaiah 40
21 Have you not known? have you not heard [shama’ – obeyed]? has it not been told you from the beginning [ro’sh – first used in Genesis 2:10 in telling of the river {carrying this word of God} that went out from Eden, and was first divided into four “heads”]? have you not understood from the foundations [mowcadah – as in 2 Samuel 22:16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations {mowcadah} of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.”] of the earth?
22 It is he that sits upon the circle [chuwg, only appearing elsewhere in Job 22:14 and Proverbs 8:27, respectively speaking of the “circuit” of heaven where God walks, and wisdom, who is understanding, saying “When he {God} prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass {chuwg} upon the face of {paniym – the LORD’s presence in} the depth”] of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers [eating up the life He gave in His word understood]; that stretches out the heavens as a curtain [from behind which I come with understanding], and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That brings the princes to nothing; he makes the judges of the earth as vanity [worthless].
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown [in My new earth]: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind [His Almighty Spirit, from where His voice is heard] shall take them away as stubble.
25 To whom then will you liken me, or shall I be equal? says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created [bara’] these things, that brings out their host [as an army] by number: he calls [qara’] them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one fails [‘adar – meaning “to arrange, as a battle, a vineyard (to hoe); hence, to muster and so to miss (or find wanting),” meaning, none, when inspected, are found lacking].
27 Why say you, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way [corrupted over time] is hid from the LORD, and my judgment [corrupted through the age] is passed over [‘abar – is life from death] from my God?
28 Have you not known [haven’t you not known]? have you not heard [shama’ – haven’t you not obeyed], that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator [bara’] of the ends [qatsah] of the earth, faints not, neither is weary [in restoring the foundations by correction]? there is no searching of [cheqer – if the searching is for your own glory, as in Proverbs 25:27] his understanding [it is only given as His gift to those who first seek Him and His kingdom].
29 He gives power to the faint [in whom His word effectually works]; and to them that have no might he increases strength [by understanding].
30 Even the youths [children refusing to put away childish things] shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait [qavah – to join Him in His ONE BODY] upon the LORD shall renew their strength [understanding, the foundation of the new earth]; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

The word cheqer (rendered “searching” in Isaiah 40:28 above) only appears one other time in Proverbs, once in the Psalms, seven times in Job, and once in Judges. All speak of seeking greatness and glory (His and ours) that can only come as a gift (treasures: grace) from God, when seeking His glory and kingdom first.

Matthew 6
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things [their own glory and greatness: worldly treasure and power] do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God [that comes with eating and drinking this full body of His work, and it rules in your mind], and his righteousness [with which you are thereby clothed]; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient [enough] unto the day is [this light that has come, to overcome] the evil [lack of these things] thereof.

In Judges 5:16, the word (cheqer) first appears saying, that because of the divisions of Reuben (the pattern of the sons of perdition, the first misleading son, patterning those who put themselves in their Father’s place), there was great “searching” of heart (minds wandering away from the Father after their own ways and ideas).

Job 8
5 If thou would seek unto God betimes [first], and make your supplication to the Almighty;
6 If thou were pure and upright; surely now he would awake for your, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
7 Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end [‘achariyth – in these last days] should greatly increase.
8 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers [seeking God’s glory and His righteousness, and not their own, ending corruption, beginning the new age]:
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow [covered in the ignorance that came upon us]:)
10 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart [from their minds after corruption ended their age, and of how the new age began]?

The termination points of the ages (qatsah, appearing thirty-six times) are described in many similitudes, the first of which comes in Exodus 25, describing the mercy seat. The next appears in Exodus 26, speaking of the “selvedge” of the coupling of curtains of the temple (as the earth’s ages joined by ends).

Exodus 25
16 And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.
17 And you shall make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
18 And you shall make two cherubims of gold [through and to which the testimony comes; as in Daniel 12:5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank {saphah} of the river, and the other on that side of the bank {saphah} of the river. 6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end {qets} of these wonders {the time of not understanding}?], of beaten work shall you make them, in the two ends [qatsah] of the mercy seat.
19 And make one cherub on the one end [qatsah], and the other cherub on the other end [qatsah]: even of the mercy seat shall you make the cherubims on the two ends [qatsah] thereof.
20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high [as eagels], covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces [paniym – manifesting the LORD’s presence in the conversation, repeating the testimony as received from the ark] of the cherubims be.
21 And you shall put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you.
22 And there [in the conversation] I will meet with you, and I will commune with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give you in commandment unto the children of Israel.

Exodus 26
4 And you shall make loops of blue upon the edge [saphah – bank of this river] of the one curtain [from behind which comes the hidden things] from the selvedge [qatsah] in the coupling [joining these ages]; and likewise shall you make in the uttermost edge [saphap – the other bank, also meaning lips, in context showing it’s the time when the voice of God as heard as His from the flesh] of another curtain [when the times of wondering are ended], in the coupling of the second [beginning the new age].

The curtain sections in Exodus 26 are the same numbers as in 1 Kings 6:24 when telling of the size of the wings of the cherubims. These wings of the covering, the veil of flesh, from where the LORD reveals himself in His revelation: the uncovering, the apocalypse of things only He knows.

1 Kings 6
27 And five [grace – the gift] cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five [grace – the gift] cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost [qatsah] part of the one wing unto the uttermost [qatsah] part of the other were ten [ordinal perfection – when all things are rightly ordered] cubits.

Job, in Job 26, speaks of these things only the LORD knows and reveals, in the context of Him asking, in Isaiah 40:25, “To whom then will you liken me, or shall I be equal? says the Holy One.”

Job 26
2 How have you [as the LORD has] helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
3 How have you counseled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters [when the deep becomes darkened], and the inhabitants thereof [die].
6 Hell [their habitation] is naked before him, and destruction has no covering.
7 He stretches out the north [revealing the darkness] over the empty place [tohuw – “without form” of Genesis 1:2 & Jeremiah 4:23, which the earth became and has become; and the “confusion” of Isaiah 34:11], and hangs [suspends the progress of] the earth upon nothing [the void – of understanding].
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds [where understanding is suspended, held in separated elements when it left the earth]; and the cloud is not rent under them [not sending it again to the earth, until the appointed time].
9 He holds back the face [paniym – the presence] of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it [as a curtain behind which it is hidden].
10 He has compassed [chuwg – differing word, meaning the same {full circuit}, and only appearing here] the waters with bounds [choq – His decreed appointed time], until the day and night [the time of light tuned to darkness – the full circle of the age] come to an end [takliyth – only used five times, meaning “completion; by implication, an extremity:–end, perfect(-ion)”].
11 The pillars [the established places where understanding should be found] of heaven tremble [so the wicked are shaken from them] and are astonished [tamahh – suddenly dumbfounded] at his reproof.
12 He divides the sea [separating humanity from those who’ve led them into darkness and hold them there in death and hell] with his power, and by his understanding he smites through the proud.
13 By his spirit he has garnished [shiphrah – only found here, meaning to fully furnished with light] the heavens; his hand [His work] has formed [chalal – wounded or dissolved] the crooked serpent [the misleaders who now flee away, as serpents slithering through the ruin they’ve made the earth].
14 Lo, these are parts [qatsah – the ends of ages] of his ways: but how little a portion is heard [shama’ – is obeyed] of him? but the thunder [this voice of lightning] of his power who can understand [biyn]?

This time when the voice of lightning is heard again is what John understood, and, in Revelation 10, the LORD in him working, depicted perfectly.

The following, ending with Isaiah 26, is from the post of 24 June 2022, (with today’s additions in double brackets):

In Genesis 9:13 & 14, it (‘owth) is the “sign” the LORD put in the cloud (where understanding is held when it leaves the earth), which is the rainbow, the light in the firmament rightly divided into many colors, as Joseph’s coat (garment of light rightly divided). As we understand, when John sees it (the rainbow) now appearing, it is accompanied by the seven thunders, the voice of understanding permitted to be spoken only by the one whose right it is to rule (because it’s the Father’s anointing and crowning the son).

Revelation 10
1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud [[where understanding is held when it left the earth]]: and a rainbow was upon his head [[the light rightly divided into seven colors, which is understanding in his mind]], and his face was as it were the sun [[The LORD’s presence in him as the brightest light in heaven]], and his feet as pillars of fire [[his way is as the LORD’s consuming fire]]:
2 And he had in his hand a little book open [[the written word of God]]: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars [[as the voice of the archangel spoken of in 1 Thessalonians 4:16]]: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not [[because they are understanding reserved from this moment, revealing the LORD’s presence in the son He chooses]].
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And swore by him that lives for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished [[the time of wonder is ended]], as he has declared to his servants the prophets.
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which stands upon the sea and upon the earth.
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make your belly bitter, but it shall be in your mouth sweet as honey.
10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter [[knowing I must regurgitate what I have eaten]].
11 And he said unto me, You must prophesy again [[regurgitate – repeat the words a received]] before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

After Moses, in Genesis 9, tells of the rainbow, he then tells of the sons of Noah (represent all humanity), and Japheth (representing the third part of the people in who would reside the deceiving spirit and carry the mark [[the ‘owth]], doing the work, of Cain).

Genesis 9
27 God shall enlarge [pathah] Japheth [from the word pathah], and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan [the children of Ham] shall be his servant.

What happens when these enticing deceivers are followed as gods, in God’s place, is self-destruction. But the LORD always makes an escape, sending a messenger He raises up from among His people, and in him, through His willing sacrifice He prepares for Himself, He illuminates salvation.

Exodus 22
16 And if a man entice [pathah] a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow [pay the price to purchase] her to be his wife.

Deuteronomy 11
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived [pathah], and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
17 And then the LORD’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest you perish quickly from off the good land [earth] which the LORD gives you.
18 Therefore shall you lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign [‘owth] upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes [[here we see the “mark” is the words in the mind and the resulting works of the hand – these are the enticements of good and evil, truth and lies, showing which possesses you]].
19 And you shall teach them your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, when you lay down, and when you rise up.

The word (pathah) next appears, in Judges 14:15 & 16:5, as Samson’s (like the sun) wife, “entices” him, first to expound on the riddle he posed and next to reveal the source of his strength. The riddle, as we understand, gives the source, the light in him (like from the sun), coming out of His head (like hair), as the word of God in His mouth as sweet as honey. As we know, the honey came from the carcass of a lion (the written word remaining with the once strong now dead body of Christ), like Samson, the light in him extinguished by the enticers, until his hair, the strength coming from his mind, returned.

1 Kings 22
19 And he said, Hear you, therefore, the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade [pathah] Ahab [meaning he is his father’s brother – a spiritual reference to the seed of Reuben, who defiled his father’s bed, and referring to those who put themselves in God’s place], that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead [when God’s word is raised up and fulfilled]? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade [pathah] him.
22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You shall persuade [pathah] him, and prevail also: go forth, and do [‘asah] so.
23 Now, therefore, behold [see – understand], the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.
24 But Zedekiah [those claiming they have Jehovah’s righteousness while they are in fact false prophets and the children of Cain] the son of Chenaanah [Cain – marked by misleading and violence against those in whom the LORD delights] went near, and smote Micaiah [who is like Jehovah] on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto you?
25 And Micaiah [who is like Jehovah] said, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.

The Hebrew word rendered “inner” and “chamber” is cheder, and refers elsewhere to the place where the LORD hides those he protects from His wrath. The word rendered “hide yourself” is chabah, which is only used four other times.

There is only one safe place, which is with the LORD, with His ONE MIND and BODY.

The false prophets and the false teachers are misled by their own lusts. Leaving them (their creations) behind is the only way they can be saved (because in choosing to keep them, they blaspheme the LORD unknown to them, speaking and working to save them).

1 Corinthians 3
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

Ezekiel 14
3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Every man of the house of Israel that sets up his idols in his heart, and puts the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that comes according to the multitude of his idols;
5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus says the LORD God; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourns in Israel, which separates himself from me, and sets up his idols in his heart, and puts the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
8 And I will set my face [presence] against that man, and will make him a sign [‘owth] and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
9 And if the prophet be deceived [pathah] when he has spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived [pathah] that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeks unto him;
11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, says the LORD God.

Isaiah 26
16 LORD, in trouble have they visited you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was upon them.
17 Like as a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in your sight, O LORD.
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, you that dwell in dust: for your dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Come, my people, enter you into your chambers [cheder], and shut your doors about you: hide [chabah] yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

The word qatsah is only used one other time in Job, in Job 28:24, a chapter that (in similitude) begins by telling of seeking what (the LORD’s treasure) is buried in the earth and refining it (with consuming fire) of impurities (corruption) with which it is mixed.

Job 28
1 Surely there is a vein [hidden in the earth] for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it [refine it with fire].
2 Iron [strength in understanding] is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
3 He [the LORD] sets an end [qets] to darkness [ignorance – wondering and not knowing, about what is present, hidden in earthly corruption], and searches out all perfection [takliyth – the end of the circuit, as in its only other use in Job, in Job 26:10 above]: the [ending of] stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
4 The flood breaks out from the inhabitant [the words of ignorance prevail when understanding is corrupted and hidden therein]; even the waters forgotten of the foot [the word of God, hidden along the way, through time]: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
5 As for the earth, out of it comes bread [the fully leavened, corrupted, body of men’s works]: and under it [confusions rule] is turned up as it were fire.
6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it has dust of gold [treasures hidden in the earth’s ruin].
7 There is a path [to reaching these treasures] which no fowl [those in places where understanding should] knows, and which the vulture’s [those in these places feeding on the carcass of the dead body of Christ] eye has not seen:
8 The lion’s whelps have not trodden it [this path], nor the fierce lion passed [‘adah – been adorned, furnished] by it.
9 He [the LORD] puts forth his hand [His work] upon the rock [from where His word flows as treasure from heaven]; he overturns the mountains [the governments, corrupted and corrupting institutions of church and state] by the roots [their foundations that hold them in the earth].
10 He cuts out rivers [for His word to flow into the sea, humanity at large] among the rocks [others upon whom He works, from which His water will also flow as received]; and his eye sees every precious thing.
11 He binds the floods [of earthly corruption] from overflowing; and the thing that is hid [therein] brings he forth to light [giving understanding only He has].
12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? [The answer is given in Proverbs 8:27, saying they are with the LORD, His dwelling place, where He walks through the circuits, ages, of the earth.]
13 Man knows not the price thereof [the field of Anothoth, the LORD’s answering those who’ve petitioned Him]; neither is it found in the land of the living [it only comes as a gift, the price of which is the life of the one sent to deliver it].
14 The depth [of the earth] says, It is not in me: and the sea [all humanity] says, It is not with me.
15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19 The topaz of Ethiopia [all the treasures of those covered in darkness] shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20 Whence then comes wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? [They are with the LORD only – Job 38: 34 Can you lift up your voice to the clouds {where understanding is held}, that abundance of waters may cover you? 35 Can you send lightnings, that they may go and say unto you, Here we are? 36 Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? or who has given understanding to the heart?]
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22 Destruction and death [the ends of the ages] say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23 God [only] understands the way thereof, and he knows the place thereof.
24 For he looks to the ends [qatsah – sees the termination points of the ages] of the earth, and sees under the whole heaven [with full understanding that begins the new];
25 To make the weight for the winds [the influence of His Spirit’s work upon the earth]; and he weighs the waters [His words sent] by measure [this dispensation].
26 When he made a decree [choq – this time He appointed] for the rain [His word from heaven], and a way for the lightning of the thunder [to give full understanding by His voice, His presence manifested in opening what was before closed, to return life to the earth]:
27 Then did he [I Am] see it, and [with His voice] declare it; he prepared it [as a girdle that causes His people to cleave, join, unto only Him], yea, and [He] searched it out [for us, to give it as a gift].
28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Hebrews 10
5 Wherefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me [flesh in which He manifests His presence, unknown as the Paraclete {the Comforter}, the Holy Ghost, leading us away from darkness {ignorance} into His marvelous light {full understanding}, as in the name Nehemiah meaning Jehovah’s Comforter]:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will [that none would perish but that all would come to salvation], O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by [as the prescription of] the law [foreshadowing the One coming];
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do your will, O God. He takes away the first [the shadow of ignorance of the underlying deep meaning], that he may establish the second [full understanding in the Father’s presence].
10 By the which will we are sanctified [made holy, purified from pollution] through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh] once for all.
11 And every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. [The word here rendered “take away” is the four times used word periaireo {peri haireomai} – referring us to its use in 2 Corinthians 3:16, when the veil of ignorance of the Old Testament is “taken away,” now when we have turned to {returned to seeing} the LORD, the Father manifested in the flesh, as in Moses, as in Christ the perpetual son of ONE God in him leading His people into salvation]:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God [from where he now exhibits the Father’s power in us and through us];
13 From henceforth expecting [ekdechomai – waiting expectantly, tarrying, long-suffering until He is again seen] till his enemies [whose pervading ignorance] be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified [by it cleared of all corruption that blinded their minds].
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost [the Father, ONE God, unknown speaking and working] also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before [in Jeremiah 31:31 – 34],
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”
18 Now where remission [aphesis – freedom, which comes from the LORD shedding His blood: His voice speaking better things than Abel, which voice is now shaking heaven and earth, and the wicked shall be shaken from them: the voice we are warned not to ignore] of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter [the presence of God above His mercy seat] into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way [by the resurrection from death], which he has consecrated [egkainizo – inaugurated by His blood testament – the word only appearing one other time, Hebrews 9:18, where it is rendered, “testament was dedicated” {by “blood”}] for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having a high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [into His ONE BODY], as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that has said [in Deuteronomy 32:35 & 36], Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated [given this understanding], you endured a great fight of afflictions [at the hand of those denying and mocking the LORD at His appearing and kingdom];
33 Partly, whilst you were made a gazing-stock [held up for public ridicule] both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used.
34 For you had compassion [had sympathy when I was publicly mocked] of me in my bonds [in this prison, the pit of mire stirred by the feet of evil doers: misleaders and false accusers: known liars telling known lies], and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods [the worthless ways and ideas the world says are valuable], knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance [these treasures God has given us, and the eternal and abundant life they produce: as fruit].
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which [faith in the LORD and believing His promises] has great recompence of reward.
36 For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith [in the Father]: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back [into corruption] unto perdition; but of them that believe [the Father] to the saving of the soul.

Proverbs 8
1 Does not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice [declaring the presence of the LORD with us even before the creation of this age: heaven and earth renewed]?
2 She stands in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths [which none but the LORD know].
3 She cries at the gates [out of death and hell], at the entry of the city [Heavenly New Jerusalem], at the coming in at the doors [of those who hear Him and open].
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O you simple, understand wisdom: and, you fools, be you of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips [saphah – this bank of the river].
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understands, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is [treasure] better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions [men’s evil misleading creations: ignorance and deception they call wisdom].
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I [true wisdom] hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honor are with me; yea, durable [heavenly] riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world [the ruin of the previous age].
27 When he [the LORD God] prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass [chuwg] upon the face of the depth [beginning and ending with His presence manifested in revealing Himself with deep understanding]:
28 When he established the clouds above [where His understanding is held]: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep [by teaching that flowed only from Him]:
29 When he gave to the sea [humanity] his decree [choq – the appointed time], that the waters should not pass [‘abar – bring them from death into life, by obeying] his commandment: when he appointed [chaqaq] the foundations [mowcadah] of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up [from the darkened deep] with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him [paniym – in His presence manifested thereby];
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken [shama’ – obey] unto me, O you children [born by His correction and become His habitation in the renewed earth]: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear [shama’ – obey] instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that hears [shama’ – obeys] me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD.
36 But he that sins against me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

After Job, the only other times the word qatsah appears, besides Isaiah 40:28, are Psalms 19:6 & 65:8, Isaiah 41:5 & 8, Jeremiah 49:36, and Ezekiel 15:4 (all below).

Psalms 19
1 The heavens [His wisdom and full understanding] declare the glory [the manifested presence] of God; and the firmament shows his handywork [His work in this full exposition].
2 Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night shows knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end [qatseh] of the world. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun [the return of the brightest light in the heavens],
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end [qatseh] of the heaven, and his circuit [tquwphap – only used three other times, all speaking of the end of the years; the first of these in Exodus 34:22, saying “And you shall observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end {tquwphah}.”] unto the ends [gatsah – this termination of the age] of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof [His consuming fire].
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony 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 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 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? cleanse you me from secret faults [of ignorance].
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them [thing wrongly presumed] not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression [denying Your presence and refusing Your correction].
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 [paying the price to deliver this gift of life].

Isaiah 41
1 Keep silence before me, O islands [places without My word]; and let the people renew their strength [understanding]: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east [as the rising sun], called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword [this word from the mouth of the LORD], and as driven stubble to his bow.
3 He pursued them, and passed [‘abar – Passed over from death into life] safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
4 Who has wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I Am he.
5 The isles [the places that were without your word] saw it, and feared; the ends [qatsah – the termination of the age] of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
6 They helped everyone his neighbor; and everyone said to his brother, Be of good courage.
7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smoothed with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the soldering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved. [Isaiah 29:11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed: 12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned. 13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. 15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?]
8 But you, Israel, are my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
9 You whom I have taken from the ends [qatsah] of the earth, and called you from the chief men thereof [the so-called wise men of the earth whose heart is far from me], and said unto you, You are my servant; I have chosen you, and not cast you away.
10 Fear you not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; yea, I will help you; yea, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against you shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with you shall perish.
12 You shall seek them, and shall not find them, even them that contended with you: they that war against you shall be as nothing, and as a thing of naught.
13 For I the LORD your God will hold your right hand, saying unto you, Fear not; I will help you.
14 Fear not, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will help you, says the LORD, and your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15 Behold, I will make you a new sharp threshing instrument [for My harvest] having teeth: you shall thresh the mountains [the corrupt governments of church and state], and beat them small, and shall make the hills as chaff [separated from the wheat].

Isaiah 29
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall [marvelously] see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

Jeremiah 49
34 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam [all humanity throughout eternity] in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah [Jehovah’s righteousness in His leaders], saying,
35 Thus says the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam [their rulers throughout eternity], the chief of their might.
36 And upon Elam [all humanity throughout eternity] will I bring the four winds [of all the false doctrines before] from the four quarters [qatsah – the termination, the end of the age] of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, says the LORD; and I will send the sword [this word they refuse] after them, till I have consumed them [with My fire]:
38 And I will set my throne in Elam [over all eternity], and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, says the LORD.
39 But it shall come to pass [hayah – it shall become] in the latter days [‘achariyth – the last days of darkness upon the earth], that I will bring again the captivity of Elam [over the minds of those throughout all eternity], says the LORD.

Ezekiel 15
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work [by their carpenters who make their idols]? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both the ends [qatsah – ending the old and beginning the new age] of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet [fit] for any work?
5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned?
6 Therefore thus says the LORD God; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7 And I will set my face [paniym – presence] against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and you shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face [paniym – presence] against them.
8 And I will make the land [‘erets – the earth] desolate, because they have committed a trespass, says the LORD God [the King of kings and LORD of lords].

Psalms 65
1 Praise waits for you, O God, in Zion: and unto you shall the vow be performed.
2 O you that hears prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away [by fire].
4 Blessed is the man whom you choose, and cause to approach unto you, that he may dwell in your courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, even of your holy temple.
5 By terrible things in righteousness will you answer [‘anah] us, O God of our salvation; who are the confidence of all the ends [qetsev] of the earth, and of them that are afar off [rachowq – this time when the earth is ruled by evil decree] upon the sea [upon all humanity]:
6 Which by his strength [by His understanding returned] set fast the mountains [the governments of the new earth]; being girded with power [Your word effectually working to change their minds]:
7 Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts [qatsah – the termination of the age] are afraid at your tokens [‘owth – the mark upon their heads and hands]: you make the outgoings of the morning and evening [the exit of the full age] of to rejoice.
9 You visit [as the Chief Overseer of] the earth, and water it [with Your word from heaven]: you greatly enrich it with [the treasures of] the river of God [Your word flowing into the sea: humanity at large], which is full of water: you preparest them corn [dagan – to prosper], when you have so provided for it.
10 You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof [the earth You’ve redeemed]: you make it soft with showers: you bless the springing thereof.
11 You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

17 – 21 November 2023

Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

The “it” above (Jeremiah 33:6) is the earth (‘erets), to which the LORD says He will bring health by curing its people: by revealing (galah) to them “the abundance of peace and truth.” This revelation refers back to verse 3, the LORD there saying, “Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not.”

The word rendered “call” is qare’, as in giving a name to, and refers to a sudden encounter (with something or someone unknown). This latter aspect comes from its association with an identical word (qara’) with this meaning: “to encounter, whether accidentally or in a hostile manner:–befall, (by) chance, (cause to) come (upon), fall out, happen, meet.”

Isaiah 21
10 O my threshing [this correction, separating evil from good], and the corn [ben – children of My correction] of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
11 The burden of Dumah [Esau: short for Edom – the enemies among us at war with us]. He calls [qara’ – us by name] to me out of Seir [from among the devils, enemies in power misleading us], Watchman, what of the night [the time of ignorance that covers the earth]? Watchman, what of the night [the appointed time of ignorance]?
12 The watchman [the seer seeing as God sees] said, The morning [this light] comes, and also the night [yet ignorance still remains]: if you will enquire, enquire you: return, come.

The word twice rendered “inquire” is the five times used word ba’ah, meaning “to gush over, i.e. to swell; (figuratively) to desire earnestly; by implication to ask,” as in to petition (verbally or in writing).

Obadiah 1
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up [ba’ah]! [The answer is above: by returning from following devils to the LORD and inquiring of Him.]
7 All the men of your confederacy [those you have joined with] have brought you even to the border [gbuwl – crossing into this new heaven and earth]: the men that were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you; they that eat your bread have laid a wound under you: there is none understanding in him.
8 Shall I not in that day, says the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau [the wicked who have prevailed and now possess the earth]?
9 And your mighty men, O Teman [the wise of this totally corrupt world], shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10 For your violence against your brother Jacob shame [disappointment, not reaching the end you seek] shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever.

Isaiah 30
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be [as wheel within a wheel, understanding sent forward] for the time to come forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear [shama’ – obey] the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers [ra’ah – shepherds and watchmen who see as God sees], See [ra’ah] not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay [obey and follow] thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out [ba’ah] in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly [pith’own] at an instant [petha’]. [Ecclesiastes 9:12 For man also knows not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly {pith’own} upon them.]
14 And he shall break it [the lies of the earth that will not stand] as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus says the LORD God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness [when you can hear this still small voice] and in confidence [in this voice, the mouth of LORD the heard as His] shall be your strength: and you would not.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall you flee: till you be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign [nec – as a banner raised up showing the way; as the son of man must be lifted, as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, and all who look to it will live] on an hill.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait [chakah], that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait [chakah] for him.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: you shall weep no more: he will be very gracious unto you at the voice of your cry; when he shall hear [shama’ – hear your obedience in] it, he will answer you [‘anah – as in Anathoth below].
20 And though the LORD give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers:
21 And your ears shall hear [shama’ – obey] a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.

Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would rend [tear open] the heavens [as you have], that you would come down [condescend as you have with your mercy], that the mountains [melting away the corrupt government of the earth] might flow down at your presence [paniym],
2 As when the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil [ba’ah – causing the word of men to petition the LORD], to make your name [identity] known to your adversaries, that the nations [those who haven’t known You] may tremble at your presence [paniym]!
3 When you did terrible things [only You know] which we looked not for [because the earth was looking for what deceivers told them would come], you came down, the mountains flowed down at your presence [paniym].
4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, beside you, what he has prepared for him that waits [chakah] for him.
5 You meet him that rejoices [in knowing Your presence] and works righteousness [as You’ve commanded], those that remember [zakar] you in your ways: behold, you are wroth; for we have sinned: in those [His ways remembered] is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind [evil spirits], have taken us away.
7 And there is none that calls [qara’] upon your name [Your identity], that stirs up himself to take hold of you: for you have hid [veiled in flesh] your face [paniym – Your presence] from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 But now, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand [forming us into Your children who see as You see].

In the above-mentioned second word qara’, the LORD refers us to it appearing in Genesis 49:1, rendered “befall,” and its (only) five uses in the Prophets (Isaiah 14:9 & 51:29, and Jeremiah 13:22, 32:23, & 44:23), naming our time and place, here in hell among the dead, ruled by Babylon: confusion, delusion, and now mass insanity.

Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall [qara’ – make itself apparent: shall call to] you in the last days [‘achariyth].

Isaiah 14
1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear, and from the hard bondage wherein you were made to serve,
4 That you shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon [Obama: the king of confusion, the lies by which he rules, who as Lucifer {the false}, a master agitator, won his own kingdom], and say, How has the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
5 The LORD has broken [shabar] the staff of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers [who lie as policy].
6 He who smote [nakah – making blind and dumb] the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hinders.
7 The whole earth [‘erets] is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since you are laid down, no feller is come up against us.
9 Hell [Sheol] from beneath is moved for you to meet [qare’ – to name] you at your coming: it stirs up the dead for you, even all the chief ones [the misleaders] of the earth [‘erets]; it has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
10 All they shall speak and say unto you, Are you also become weak as we? are you become like unto us?
11 Your pomp is brought down to the grave [sheol], and the noise of your viols: the worm is spread under you, and the worms cover you.
12 How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning [in this light risen into everlasting contempt]! how are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above [to rule over] the stars [the children] of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation [mow’ed – the appointed time of gathering into My ONE BODY], in the sides of the north [now when all are covered in ignorance of God: which is death]:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds [exalting his understand above the LORD’s]; I will be like the Most High.
15 Yet you shall be brought down to hell [sheol], to the sides of the pit [you dug for yourself].
16 They that see you shall narrowly look upon you, and consider you, saying, Is this the man that made the earth [‘erets] to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But you are cast out of your grave like an abominable branch [who fruit is evil], and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword [this word from the mouth of God], that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trodden under feet.
20 You shall not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed your land [‘erets – the earth], and slain your people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land [‘erets – the earth], nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 For I will rise up against them, says the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name [confusion: delusion, mass insanity], and remnant [of the manically insane], and son, and nephew, says the LORD.
23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern [those continually singing the songs of the wicked in power: the fake new media, uncovered as their mouth], and pools of [corrupt] water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, says the LORD of hosts.
24 The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 That I will break [shabar] the Assyrian [the communists in power – whose master has come to remind Brandon he, not Obama, owns him] in my land [‘erets – My earth], and upon my mountains [My government] tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth [‘erets] : and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
27 For the LORD of hosts [a man of war] has purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28 In the year that king Ahaz [who now holds God’s people captive] died was this burden.
29 Rejoice not you, whole Palestina [the enemy army mixed among us, who are now seen in plain sight], because the rod of him [the communists] that smote [nakah] you is broken [shabar]: for out of the serpent’s [dead] root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent [saraph – they have no idea that their work has brought forth the LORD, whose word is now exalted].
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill your root with famine, and he shall slay your remnant.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; you, whole Palestina, are dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

Isaiah 51
1 Hearken to [shama’ – obey] me, you that follow after righteousness, you that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence you are digged.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called [qara’ – named] him alone [in his generation], and blessed him, and increased him.
3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody [of those in whose mouth is this word].
4 Hearken [qashab – let these things pierce your ear and enter deep into your minds] unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light [understanding] of the people.
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people; the isles [that have been without My word] shall wait [qavah – to join into My ONE BODY] upon me, and on my arm [I Am] shall they trust.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the [old and corrupt] heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the [old and corrupt] earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die [have died] in like manner: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 Hearken unto [shama’ – obey] me [and live], you that know righteousness, the people in whose heart [minds] is my law [written]; fear you not the reproach of men, neither be you afraid of their reviling.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm [I Am] of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Are you not it that has cut Rahab [rahab – only used two other times, rendered “proud” and “strength;” Job 26:12 He {the LORD} divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smites through the proud {rahab}. And Isaiah 30:7 For the Egyptians {the oppressors} shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried {qara’ – named them} concerning this, Their strength {rahab} is to sit still.}], and wounded the dragon [tanniyn – those, as serpents and whales, swallowing their prey with their wide open mouths: words from there]?
10 Are you not it which has dried the sea [negating these men’s words], the waters of the great deep [showing what lies there in the darkness: hidden in men’s cultivated ignorance]; that has made the depths of the sea [revealing what only You now know] a way for the ransomed to pass over [‘abar – Passover from death into life, from darkness into the light, from ignorance into understanding]?
11 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing [repeating this word as received, with Him] unto Zion; and everlasting joy [when the LORD’s presence is realized] shall be upon their head [in their minds]: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
12 I, even I, am he that comforts you [leads you into all My truth]: who are you, that you shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
13 And forget the LORD your maker, that has stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and have feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 The captive exile hasten that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
15 But I am the LORD your God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared [as a lion]: The LORD of hosts is his name.
16 And I have put my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand [work], that I may plant the [new] heavens, and lay the foundations of the [new] earth [‘erets], and say unto Zion, You are my people.
17 Awake, awake, stand up [in resurrection], O [Heavenly New] Jerusalem [My corrected people, My children, in this generation], which have drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; you have drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she has brought up.
19 These two things are come [qara’ – call, naming the time: befallen you in these last days ] unto you; who shall be sorry for you? desolation, and destruction, and the famine [refusing this word], and the sword [this word the builders rejected]: by whom shall I comfort you [isn’t it by the Paraclete, I Am leading into all My truth: healing that cures]?
20 Your sons have fainted, they [the dead men listen to: obey] lie at the head of all the streets [showing the way], as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
21 Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine [with your own words and ways]:
22 Thus says your LORD the LORD, and your God that pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of trembling [of these men’s misleading], even the dregs of the cup of my fury; you shall no more drink it again:
23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict you; which have said to your soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and you have laid your body as the ground [‘erets – the earth], and as the street, to them that went over.

Jeremiah 13
1 Thus says the LORD unto me, Go and get you a linen girdle [the preparation that protects from the elements of the earth], and [as an experiment; a pattern experienced] put it upon your loins [as upon My people], and put it not in water [deprive it of this word of God].
2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins.
3 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying,
4 Take the girdle [the preparation I have put upon you] that you have got, which is upon your loins, and arise, go to Euphrates [the blessing that flows to all generation], and hide it there in a hole of the rock [in those from who it should flow as My presence manifested].
5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded you to hide there.
7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred [by its time in the earth], it was profitable for nothing. [This is the manner spoken of in Isaiah 51:6 above, when the old and corrupt heaven and earth “waxed old like a garment, and they that dwell therein have died in like manner.”]
8 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 Thus says the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
10 This evil people, which refuse to hear [shama’ – obey] my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart [the creations of their own minds] and walk after other gods [men they put in My place], to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle [the preparation that protects, which should be heard from them, became corrupt and the people died], which is good for nothing.
11 For as the girdle cleave to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me [only] the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory [manifesting My presence]: but they would not hear [shama’ – obey].
12 Therefore you shall speak unto them this word; Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine [every person into which corrupt words are poured, making them ignorant and insane: no longer able to recognize reality]: and they shall say unto you, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
13 Then shall you say unto them, Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land [‘erets – the earth], even the kings that sit upon David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
15 Hear [shama’ – obey: follow the LORD’s advice and stop listening to these known liars and false accusers] you, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD has spoken.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness [ignorance that comes without this word], and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains [ignorance heard from the corrupt institutions of church and state], and, while you look [to the dead] for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
17 But if you will not hear [shama’ – obey] it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and my eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock is carried away captive [choosing to remain in death and hell].
18 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north [out of the places of ignorance]: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
21 What will you say when he shall punish [paqad – shall come as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to] you? for you have taught them to be captains, and as chief over you: shall not sorrows take you, as a woman in travail?
22 And if you say in your heart, Wherefore come [qara’ – befallen, in these last days] these things upon me? For the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts discovered [the corruption covering you, your private interpretations, is revealed], and your heels [the corrupt you picked up along this way, from the streets] made bare.
23 Can the Ethiopian [covered in darkness] change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may you also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24 Therefore will I scatter them [away from their misleaders] as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
25 This is your lot, the portion of your measures from me, says the LORD; because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
26 Therefore will I discover your skirts upon your face [paniym – by My presence manifested], that your shame may appear [your disappointment when your corruption is revealed, not the end you have falsely interpreted].
27 I have seen your adulteries, and your neighing, the lewdness of your whoredom [with these other men you put in My place], and your abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto you, O Jerusalem! will you not be made clean [purged of your corruption]? when shall it once be?

Jeremiah 32
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year [ordinal perfection, when this word is rightly ordered: understood] of Zedekiah [Jehovah’s righteousness] king of Judah [ruling among his leaders], which was the eighteenth [6+6+6] year of Nebuchadrezzar [when the lies of false prophets rule the world, and their mark is confusion masked in the ashes of the earth’s ruin: the fires of hell following them has produced].
2 For then the king of Babylon’s [Obama and his Alinsky army, whose weapons are confusion, lies as policy] army besieged Jerusalem [God’s people, into whom these words and ways of peace have flowed]: and Jeremiah [Jehovah rising to raise His people] the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison [the minds of the ignorant], which was in the king of Judah’s house [where Jehovah’s righteousness is corrupted by those to whom it was entrusted] .
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him [Jehovah rising] up, saying, Wherefore dost you prophesy, and say, Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon [God’s people to confusion, sending them into delusion, and ruled into insanity], and he shall take it [into insanity];
4 And Zedekiah king of Judah [Jehovah’s righteousness in those leading His people] shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans [those who use their words to manipulate and control those who obediently follow them], but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon [the confusion that now rules the world], and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes [his word shall be their words, and they shall see as he sees – becoming part of Babylon the beast without the LORD’s Spirit];
5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit [paqad – until I come as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to] him, says the LORD: though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper.
6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
7 Behold, Hanameel [the same as Hananeel, said to mean the favor of God, from the word chanan, here meaning to hear and grant the petition, sending one to pay the price to redeem the earth] the son of Shallum [requital, retribution, a fee – payment] your uncle shall come unto you saying, Buy you my field [pay the price to redeem the earth] that is in Anathoth [from ‘anah – answering prayer: the petition]: for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.
8 So Hanameel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray you, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is your, and the redemption is your; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle’s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
10 And I subscribed [kathab – I wrote] the evidence [cepher – this writing], and sealed it [chatham – pressed it into the earth as my signature: identifying it as mine, as in Job 37:7, speaking of when the strength of His snow and rain is upon the earth, saying “He seals up {chatham} the hand {work} of every man; that all men may know his {the LORD’s} work {through those He’s chosen}.”], and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
11 So I took the evidence [cepher] of the purchase, both that which was sealed [meant to be opened only by the chosen who pay the price of redemption according to the law and custom, and that which was open:
12 And I gave the evidence [cepher] of the purchase [redemption through grace and sanctification] unto Baruch [those blessed] the son of Neriah [by the lamp of Jehovah: showing the way in the darkness], the son of Maaseiah [in the refuge of Jehovah], in the sight of Hanameel [answering the prayers of those who petition God] my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed [kathab – wrote] the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
13 And I charged Baruch [the blessed, God’s people in this generation]] before them, saying,
14 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences [cepher – this writing], this evidence [cepher – writing] of the purchase, both which is sealed [chatham], and this evidence [cepher] which is open [galah]; and put them in an earthen vessel [in flesh bodies I have chosen], that they may continue many days.
15 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
16 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,
17 Ah LORD God! behold, you have made the [new] heaven and the [new] earth by your great power and stretched out arm [I Am], and there is nothing too hard for you:
18 You show lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompenses the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts [a man of war], is his name,
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
20 Which have set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt [the earth under the rule of tyrants], even unto this day [this time when understanding has returned], and in Israel, and among other men; and have made you a name [revealing Your identity, Your presence with us], as at this day;
21 And have brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm [I Am], and with great terror;
22 And have given them this land [‘erets – this new earth], which you did swear to their fathers to give them, a land [‘erets – earth] flowing with milk and honey [by which me learn to choose good and refuse evil];
23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed [shama’] not your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them [qara’ – identifying the appointed time I warned of, which you refused know and now will only learn from its reality by the consequences of your own choice; but my arm and hand is stretched out still]:
24 Behold the mounts [the government of church and state that are now possessed by your enemies], they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans [those destroying you by evil decrees], that fight against it, because of the sword [My word against them], and of the famine [your refusal to receive it as My word], and of the pestilence [the resulting dis-ease from obeying their ways and refusing Mine]: and what you have spoken is come to pass; and, behold, you see it.
25 And you have said [petitioned] unto me, O LORD God, Buy you the field for money [come and pay the price to redeem the earth], and take witnesses [of those who’ve received this evidence]; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans [those using the evil decrees to destroy us].
26 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
27 Behold, I Am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?
28 Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it [and you see it, that the earth is possess by his evil spirit]:
29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city [My people, Heavenly New Jerusalem, they are trying to destroy], shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal [the false gods of this evil world], and poured out drink offerings unto other gods [men who’ve put themselves in my place], to provoke me to anger.
30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says the LORD.
31 For this city has been to me as a provocation of my anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of [old and corrupt] Jerusalem.
33 And they have turned unto me the back [walked away from Me], and not the face [paniym – not into My presence]: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened [shama’ – obeyed] to receive instruction.
34 But they set their abominations [their creations they put in My place] in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
35 And they built the high places of Baal [the false gods of
this world], which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom [hell – the earth become a trash heap where the fires never end], to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech [offering their children to their evil kings, those they follow and obey: choosing evil that destroys mind and body]; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
36 And now therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof you say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword [this word from My mouth which is rejected], and by the famine [without this word], and by the pestilence [the disease that result from obeying evil decrees, lies a policy];
37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place [into Heavenly New Jerusalem, My ONE BODY], and I will cause them to dwell safely:
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land [‘erets – the new earth] assuredly with my whole heart [mind] and with my whole soul [immortal, eternal, and omnipotent presence].
42 For thus says the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
43 And fields shall be bought in this land [the earth shall be redeemed], whereof you say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
44 Men shall buy fields for money [by this word], and subscribe [cepher – write these] evidences, and seal them [putting My signature upon them], and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin [the last born generation of the old and corrupt heaven and earth, redeemed and become the LORD’s right hand, at the end of His arm, I AM] and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity [of their minds] to return, says the LORD.

Jeremiah 33
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
2 Thus says the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name;
3 Call unto me, and I will answer [‘anah] you, and show you great and mighty things [that only I know], which you know not.
4 For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;
5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
9 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.

Jeremiah 44
15 Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods [putting their trust in men, silly women led away captive, giving up liberty for state security under tyrants], and all the women that stood by [as the queens of heaven, saying they have understanding, which is the common ignorance of], a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros [from pathar and pithrown, meaning to open: interpret; here speaking of what, false interpretations, led and holds them in the land of oppression], answered [‘anah] Jeremiah, saying,
16 As for the word that you have spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken [shama’ – obey] unto you. [2 Timothy 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive [back into Egypt] silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres {the priests of Egypt who} withstood Moses {to hold God’s people there}, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.]
17 But we will certainly do [obey] whatsoever thing goes forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven [teaching ignorance to other silly women, which they call understanding], and to pour out drink offerings unto her [speaking the ignorance they’ve leaned], as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil [right up until you did see it, then you refused to see what you are still seeing is the result of your own corrupt minds].
18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword [this word you refuse] and by the famine [without this word of God and His truth].
19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
20 Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer [‘anah], saying,
21 The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?
22 So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
23 Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed [shama’] the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened [qara’ – has befallen] unto you, as at this day.
24 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear [shama’ – obey] the word of the LORD, all Judah [all you leaders of His people] that are in the land of Egypt [and led His people into oppression under tyrants]:
25 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand [your works], saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: you will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
26 Therefore hear [shama’ – obey] you the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, says the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The LORD God lives.
27 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword [this word of God from His mouth] and by the famine [which word these men refuse], until there be an end of them [kalah – as in Daniel 12:7 saying “And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time {mow’ed – this appointed time}, times {mow’ed – when seen in appointed times past], and an half [chetsiy – when realized in the midst of darkness}; and when he shall have accomplished {kalah} to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished {kalah}].
28 Yet a small number that escape [paliyt] the sword shall return [to the LORD] out of the land [‘erets] of Egypt [under tyrants] into the land [‘erets- the earth] of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah [My leaders], that are gone into the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth] of Egypt to sojourn there [in the new earth led by My faithful leaders in whom obedience has been fulfilled], shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.
29 And this shall be a sign unto you, says the LORD, that I will punish [paqad – appear to the seers who see I Am the Chief Overseer of the earth] you in this place [in the new earth I Am creating], that you may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:
30 Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra [Pharaoh: the great house, evil in power; chapha’ ra’: covered, hidden, by evil] king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah [the leaders of God’s people wherein should be Jehovah’s righteousness] into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of false prophets that ruled the world into confusion, delusion, and now mass insanity], his enemy, and that sought his life.

The word chapha’, meaning “to cover, i.e. (in a sinister sense) to act covertly:–do secretly,” appears only once, in 2 Kings 17:9.

2 Kings 17
7 For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
8 And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
9 And the children of Israel did secretly [chapha’] those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
10 And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:
11 And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:
12 For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, You shall not do this thing.
13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn you from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.
14 Notwithstanding they would not hear [shama’ – obey], but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God [that He is veiled in flesh speaking].
15 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity [worthlessness], and became vain [worthless], and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.
16 And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal [the idols of the world, men who put themselves in God’s place].
17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments [to manipulate and control the world], and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

Psalms 61
1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto you, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in your tabernacle forever: I will trust in the covert of your wings. Selah.
5 For you, O God, have heard my vows: you have given me the heritage of those that fear your name.
6 You will prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.
7 He shall abide before God forever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8 So will I sing praise unto your name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Matthew 16
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me [declaring it’s the Father, Jehovah, alive in me speaking and working].
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man [I Am] shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels [all who hear Him speaking and see Him working, who take up their cross: speak in His name, losing their own identity]; and then he shall reward every man according to his works [quoted from Psalms 62:12 below].
28 Truly I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

1 Corinthians 3
8 Now he that plants and he that waters are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor [again, quoted from Psalms 62:12 below].
9 For we are laborers together with God: you are God’s husbandry, you are God’s building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ [Jehovah alive in us speaking and working for the Salvation of those who receive Him at His appearing and kingdom].
12 Now if any man builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day [now when light has come] shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If any man defiles the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

2 Timothy 3
10 But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the LORD delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in [taking up the cross of] Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them;
15 And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God [alive in those through which He speaks and works], and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God [I Am] may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

2 Timothy 4
1 I charge you therefore before God, and the LORD Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing [the epiphany – the sudden realization] and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant [ephistemi – referring us to its use in 1 Thessalonians 5:3 – see below] in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will [has now] come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch you in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.

1 Thessalonians 4
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep [not knowing the time or season], that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope [that they will hear, waken, and see Him].
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring [awaken to life] with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the LORD, that we which are alive [awake] and remain unto the coming of the LORD shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven [condescending with full understanding] with a shout [from this mouth of God], with the voice of the archangel [I Am the first born messenger], and with the trump of God [calling all to gather in ONE BODY to Him]: and the dead [still asleep] in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive [awake and know the time and season] and remain shall be caught up [harpazo – pulled from the fires] together with them in the clouds [where is full understanding, light that is life], to meet [join] the LORD in the air [cleared of the blinding smoke that ascended from the bottomless pit]: and so shall we ever be with the LORD.
18 Wherefore comfort [lead into all truth] one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 5
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day [the coming light] of the LORD so comes as a thief in the night [unknow in the current darkness: ignorance that covers the world].
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety [as they war against us]; then sudden [as in pith’own – as in Isaiah 30:13 above] destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape [as the small number will – see Jeremiah 44:28 above].
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness [ignorance], that that day [the coming light of the world] should overtake you as a thief.
5 You are all the children [born] of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep [with deadened minds], as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our LORD Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

Psalms 62
1 Truly my soul waits upon God: from him comes my salvation.
2 He only is my Rock and my Salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will you imagine mischief against a man? you shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall [suddenly] shall you be, and as a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 My soul, wait you only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my Rock and my Salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my Salvation and my glory: the Rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; you people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11 God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God.
12 Also unto you, O LORD, belongs mercy: for you render to every man according to his work.

14 & 15 November 2023

Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

The above, Ezekiel 1:1, is him (Ezekiel) writing of his experience when the LORD (out of captivity) captivated his mind, giving (opening to) him understanding of things far off (Chebar): in the present (comprehending the moment), by the past (documented, sent, and received), and for the future (reporting it to send forward as received). As we know, the LORD only revealed this true meaning here and now, to and through me (by recognizing the identical experience).

As previously (often) discussed, this understanding is only possible when all the fictions, all the false interpretations of false prophets and false teachers, are exercised from (worked out of) the mind (purged in and by the unfolding fire). Ezekiel’s vision comes when heaven (understanding held there in the cloud in separated elements) was opened (the reassembled elements, as rain, sent from the cloud, giving understanding to the written word sent forward). He sees it as a wheel rolling ever forward, sent by those before given vision to see God in it, to give the same understanding, as a wheel (within a wheel, like events understood in the experience, understanding giving understanding) in which is life, the light, of the world).

He (Ezekiel) sees these men (seers: senders and receivers), in the wheel, as having hands and wings (works, diligently searching and documenting, that raised them into heaven), and four faces, showing the metamorphosis of their work, as the LORD’s presence (face) manifested. The first is the face of (the LORD’s presence realized by, in) a man, the second of a lion (His voice, with strength, heard roaring), the third an ox (through whom He works), and the last of an eagle (exalted into heaven when the words and works are received as His presence).

Isaiah 40
1 Comfort you, comfort you [give this understanding to] my people, says your God.
2 Speak you comfortably to Jerusalem [those into which this word and work have flowed], and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she has received of the LORD’s hand double [this blessing] for all her sins.
3 The voice of him that cries [roars] in the wilderness [to the desolate], Prepare you the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a [purge out the corruption and receive the] highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5 And the glory of the LORD [His presence in me] shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it [the vision of him] together: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All [the works of the] flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7 The grass withers, the flower fades: because the spirit of the LORD blows upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades: but the word of our God shall stand forever.
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?
15 Behold, the nations [all those who haven’t known Him, and now refuse to see Him in His word and work] are as a drop of a bucket [very little understanding remaining in the places it should be], and are counted as the small dust [the places of worthless ruin] of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles [place without these waters] as a very little thing.
16 And Lebanon [the places where purity is no longer seen on high] is not sufficient to burn [that its corruption would be purged], nor the beasts [men without the LORD’s Spirit] thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
17 All nations [those who refuse to know Me] before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity [tohuw – without form].
18 To whom then will you liken God? or what likeness will you compare unto him?
19 The [the corrupt] workman melts a graven image [men they make their kings], and the goldsmith spreads it over with gold, and casts silver chains [judging them by their outward appearance and worldly value].
20 He that is so impoverished [without these treasures and, therefore, without power] that he has no oblation [nothing to offer the LORD] chooses a tree [outwardly covered] that will not rot; he seeks unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image [a worthless idol], that shall not be moved.
21 Have you not known? have you not heard? has it not been told you from the beginning? have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he that sits upon the circle [chuwg – the full circuit of the earth beginning and ending ages], and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers [that devour and fully consume the ages He must rebuild]; that stretches out the heavens as a curtain [behind which is His presence], and spreads them out [understanding through all generation] as a tent to dwell in:
23 That bringeth the princes [those in power] to nothing; he makes the judges of the earth as vanity [worthless as they are: corrupters of justice].
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the [new] earth [I Am creating]: and he shall also blow upon them [His Spirit among them working and speaking, unknown in their ignorance], and they shall wither, and the whirlwind [I Am – from where His Almighty Spirit speaks and changes the face of the earth] shall take them away as stubble.
25 To whom then will you liken me, or shall I be equal? says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things, that bringeth out their host [My army] by number: he calls them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one fails.
27 Why sayest you, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends [ending the old and beginning the new] of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the faint [to the powerless]; and to them that have no might he increases strength [understanding].
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon [qavah – join in ONE BODY with] the LORD shall renew their strength [their understanding]; they shall mount up [into heaven] with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

The following is the post of 23 August 2021 (with today’s additions in double brackets):

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah

The word “hosts,” here speaking of Jehovah as the commander of the army of heaven, is from the Hebrew word tsaba’, meaning “a mass of persons (or figuratively, things), especially regular organized for war (an army); by implication, a campaign, literally or figuratively (specifically, hardship, worship):–appointed time, (+) army, (+) battle, company, host, service, soldiers, waiting upon, war(-fare).”

As we know from Genesis 1:8, God gave the name heaven to the “firmament” that was in the midst of the waters, which is where the waters from above are divided from the waters below. These waters are the word of God (truth) separated from men’s (ignorant and misleading) words. The word (firmament) is from the Hebrew riqiya’, “from 7554; properly, an expanse, i.e. the firmament or (apparently) visible arch of the sky:–firmament.” It (riqiya’) is from the word raqa’, “a primitive root; to pound the earth (as a sign of passion); by analogy to expand (by hammering); by implication, to overlay (with thin sheets of metal).”

These words speak of expanding, this exposition, of the word of God (as gold), by His inspiriting, by the Holy Ghost: the LORD Himself, unknown until the He is heard, and finally seen by understanding (which is entering the kingdom of heaven – where there is light, full comprehension). This (exposition) is what the misleaders, who put themselves in His place, poorly imitate and, in doing so, mislead all who follow them. The act itself rightly divides the water, the good words from the evil.

Isaiah 40
18 To whom then will you liken God? or what likeness will you compare unto him?
19 The workman melts a graven image [they make idols], and the goldsmith spreads it over [raqa’ – their evil words, their expositions, said to have value] with gold, and casts silver chains [with which they bind God’s people, keeping them from His truth and their own good].
20 He that is so impoverished that he has no oblation chooses a tree that will not rot; he seeks unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
21 Have you not known? have you not heard? has it not been told you from the beginning? have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretches [divided the waters, giving us full understanding] out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That brings the princes to nothing; he makes the judges of the earth as vanity.
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
25 To whom then will you liken me, or shall I be equal? says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things, that brings out their host [tsaba’ – bring forth His army by His understanding] by number: he calls them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one fails.
27 Why say you, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

The arch in the sky (riqiya’) is described by the LORD, speaking through John in Revelation 10, as the “bow” seen upon the head of the (seventh) angel who comes from heaven with a cloud. We understand (because the LORD showed us) it refers to the bow (a rainbow) in the cloud, seen after the flood as a token of the covenant between Him and the earth.

We know, after the flood, and the latter rain, when the word of God has come from the cloud (where understanding is when it left the earth), and the light (understanding) again comes, it is expanded (rightly divided) into seven colors of the rainbow.

In Revelation 10:2 we are told this angel has a little book open in His hand, which we’ve also seen as what Ezekiel speaks of (in Ezekiel 2:9 & 10) as a roll (mgillah – the “volume” of the book, in which the LORD comes) spread (expanded) before Him. This parenthetic quote is from Psalms 40:7, which is quoted in Hebrews 10:7, there saying it’s to do the LORD’s will, verse 5 saying it’s in a body He has prepared. The body is of His angel (the son of man) who is sent to speak (Ezekiel 2:7 & 8) words he’s given, to God’s rebellious people. In Revelation 10, the voice is the seventh angel’s, the voice of God, heard as seven thunders that accompany the seven colors of the rightly divided light.

As we know, this written word sent forward is the wheel within the wheel Ezekiel sees in the firmament, and their noise (qowl – voice) is of their wings, as the voice (qowl – noise) of these many waters.

The word most often used by Ezekiel when describing the wheel (the written pattern, wherein is understanding, sent forward to give life by understanding the same pattern, which comes by the presence of God, His hand manifested and acknowledged) is ‘owphan (‘ophan), meaning “to revolve,” as in a circle of time, the full turn of the age, which begins the next (of God’s creation, as in the flood).

It (‘owphan) is engineered to lead us to its deepest meaning, first with the names Uphaz and Ophir, which are regions where gold is mined. These are connected to the words’ owr and ‘uwr, meaning light (and fire), as coming in the break of day (as hidden gold found). In previous posts we’ve often discussed the Hebrew word tsaphan, speaking of treasure or munition reserved in the cloud, which is God’s treasury and armory. It (tsaphan) is said to mean, “to hide (by covering over); by implication, to hoard or reserve; figuratively to deny; specifically (favorably) to protect, (unfavorably) to lurk.” Its intention is to be associated with (a compounding of) the word tsaba’ and ‘ophan, thereby (tsaphan) meaning they are light, understanding, hidden (His word reserved) for His hosts, His army in this time of war.

These meanings are what Peter speaks of in 2 Peter 3 as he speaks of his (God-given) full understanding of the return of the light, the fire, and the new creation.

Genesis 9
11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow [qesheth] in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow [qesheth] shall be seen [[by the seers]] in the cloud:
15 And I will remember [[zakar]] my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow [qesheth] shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember [[zakar]] the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

[[Above are the second and third time the word zakar appears. The first, giving the pattern of the now salvation of the world, is in Genesis 8:1, verses 1 – 3 saying, “And God remembered {zakar} Noah {the “rest” He promised His people}, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark {holding the testimony carried forward}: and God made a wind to pass over {by His Spirit, carried them from death into new life on} the earth, and the waters {that brought death upon all others} assuaged; 2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days {the end of days} the waters {of death} were abated.”]]

2 Peter 3
1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance [reminding you of things once known, but now hidden in the ignorance cultivated over time by misleaders]:
2 That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the LORD and Savior:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers [by ignorance] fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise [Isaiah 66:6 and Ezekiel 43:2 – both below], and the elements [stoicheion – the foundational ideas of these false prophets and false teachers] shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion – the foundational ideas of these false prophets and false teachers] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness [truth and justice].
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable [as Reuben – see Genesis 49:4] wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition that comes as the lies are exposed as what caused the destruction of the old world].
17 You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error [plane – misleading] of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness [your fixed positions in heaven].
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen.

Isaiah 66
4 I also will choose their delusions [the mass delusion that now rules the over all the world: that a common virus is a monster all should fear, and therefore bow to the men who’ve created and brandish it] and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that [misleading, evil manipulation] in which I delighted not.
5 Hear the word of the LORD, you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompense to his enemies.
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child [a man, which is a son of God].
8 Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? says your God.

Ezekiel 43
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east [toward the sunrise of this new day]:
2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory [see Ezekiel 1:24 below].
3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar [when I saw “far-off” into this time, where the wheel went and in whose hand it would be open]; and I fell upon my face.
4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
6 And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man [[from the wheel]] stood by me.
7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcasses of their kings [the dead in power] in their high places.

The time is that which Ezekiel speaks of in Ezekiel 1:1, saying it’s when “I was among the captives by the river of Chebar [where the LORD showed me things far-off], that the heavens [understanding from the firmament] were opened, and I saw visions of [with the eyes of] God.”

Ezekiel 1
3 The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north [tsaphown – from tsaphan, the place of darkness, ignorance, where things are hidden until we return to the LORD], a great cloud, and a fire unfolding [expanding on] itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color [the colors as rightly divided light and fire] of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man [the LORD unknown].
6 And every one had four faces [[paniym – revealing the presence of God in man]], and every one had four wings [[lifting them into heaven]].
7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled like the color burnished brass.
8 And they had the hands [[works]] of a man under their wings [[lifting them]] on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
9 Their wings were joined one to another; they [[relentlessly moving forward]] turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward [[unto the future]].
10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of [paniym – the presence of God unknown as He first appears as] a man, and the face of [paniym – God’s presence as] a lion [strength returned [[in His voice roaring, with understanding]]], on the right side: and they four had the face of [paniym – His presence manifested as] an ox [in His working in the earth] on the left side; they four also had the face of [paniym – His presence then seen] an eagle [as flying in the clear air [[full understanding]] of heaven].
11 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies [[until now hiding His presence]].
12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit [[of the LORD]] was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps [[giving light, understanding, which is life]]: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning [[the epiphany of realization]].
15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces [paniym – the presence of God manifested].
16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the color of a beryl: and they four had one likeness [[of God]]: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel [patterns sent in the written word, to be understood as the LORD manifests His presence, giving life].
17 When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
18 As for their rings [[gab – the bow in their eyes]], they were so high [[gobahh – highly esteemed]] that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes [[seers seeing as God sees]] round about them four.
19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels [[understanding]] went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up [[exalted – as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, as the son of man must be lifted]] from the earth, the wheels [[the understanding in their words]] were lifted up [[exalted above all other voices]].
20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
22 And the likeness of the firmament [raqiya’] upon the heads of the living creature was as the color of the terrible crystal [[through which light is divided]], stretched forth over their heads above.
23 And under the firmament [raqiya’] were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
24 And when they went, I heard the noise [qowl – voice] of their wings, like the noise [qowl] of great waters, as the voice [qowl] of the Almighty, the voice [qowl] of speech, as the noise [qowl] of a host [machaneh – His encamped army]: when they stood, they let down their wings.
25 And there was a voice [qowl] from the firmament [raqiya’] that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings [[spoke the words they received]].
26 And above the firmament [raqiya’] that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man [a returning king] above upon it.
27 And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
28 As the appearance of the bow [raqiya’] that is in the cloud in the day of rain [[when the word of God is sent from heaven]], so was the appearance of the brightness [[giving understanding]] round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory [[the presence manifested]] of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice [qowl] of one that spoke.

Ezekiel 2
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak unto you.
2 And the spirit [[of the LORD]] entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke unto me.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
4 For they are impudent children and stiff-hearted. I do send you unto them; and you shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD God.
5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
6 And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [misleaders who’ve overgrown the unattended garden] be with you, and you do dwell among scorpions [whose strike rots men inside, in the minds]: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
7 And you shall speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
8 But you, son of man, hear what I say unto you; Be not you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth [not as the rebellious who reject My presence and refuse to open their mouth with this word], and eat that I give you.
9 And when I looked, behold, a hand [of God] was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

Revelation 10
1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun [rising in a new day], and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roar [as strength returned]: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices [the sound of the rightly divided word – the seven colors of the rainbow].
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not [because they are hidden until this time, when we return to the LORD and receive His light].
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And swore by him that lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished [as it is], as he has declared to his servants the prophets.
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which stands upon the sea and upon the earth.
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make your belly bitter, but it shall be in your mouth sweet as honey [the strength, from the carcass of the lion raised to life, that comes from the rightly ordered word].
10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
11 And he said unto me, You must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

We’re told in Revelation 5 of the Lamb who was slain, rising as the Lion of the house of Judah, the king who prevails, in whose hand the book is opened. The chapter begins by describing the “lamentations, and mourning, and woe,” spoken of in Ezekiel 2:10, which is what Ezekiel sees written as he opens the book.

Revelation 5
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David [Joseph’s son], has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes [the power, strength for the work, and the vision of God], which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And have made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth [as the Israel of God].
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever.
14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that lives forever and ever.

When, in Ezekiel 1:3, we’re told he is the son of Buzi, names telling us He (the son of man) is the One God strengthens (Ezekiel), who is the expression of God’s contempt (Buzi), it refers us to Jude, who quotes the Book of Enoch, speaking of the LORD’s coming.

Jude 1
12 These [upon whom the LORD pours His contempt] are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead [upon which comes the second death], plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, “Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
17 But, beloved, remember you the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our LORD Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our LORD Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear [telling them they should fear the LORD, because His word is true], pulling [harpazo] them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh [the misleading and manipulative words and ideas of evil men mixed among them].
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Here from the post of 3 February 2021 are other words, hidden things from His hidden treasures, from the Book of Enoch.

Enoch
61.8 And the LORD of Spirits, set the Chosen One on the Throne of His Glory, and he will judge all the works of the Holy ones in Heaven above [[those sitting in the seats where understanding should be found]], and in the Balance he will [[with righteousness judge]] weigh their deeds.
61.9 And when he lifts his face [[exalts His presence]], to judge their secret ways, according to the word of the Name [[identity]] of the LORD of Spirits, and their path according to the way of the Righteous Judgement of the LORD Most High, they will all speak with one voice, and bless, and praise, and exalt, and glorify, the Name of the LORD of Spirits.
61.10 And He will call all the Host of the Heavens, and all the Holy Ones above, and the Host of the LORD, the Cherubim, and the Seraphim, and the Ophannim [those born into the new creation, by the wheel within the wheel], and all the Angels of Power, and all the Angels of the Principalities, and the Chosen One, and the other host, that is upon the dry ground, and over the water, on that day.
61.11 And they will raise one voice, and will bless, and praise, and glorify, and exalt, in the spirit of faith, and in the spirit of wisdom, and of patience, and in the spirit of mercy, and in the spirit of justice, and of peace, and in the spirit of goodness. And they will all say with one voice: “Blessed is He, and blessed be the Name of the LORD of Spirits, forever and ever.”
61.12 All Those Who Do Not Sleep, in Heaven above, will bless Him. All His Holy Ones, who are in Heaven, will bless Him, and all the chosen ones, who dwell in the Garden of Life, and every spirit able to bless, and praise and exalt, and hallow Your Holy Name. And all flesh, which to the limit of its power, will praise, and bless, Your Name forever and ever.
61.13 For great is the mercy of the LORD of Spirits, and He is long-suffering; and all His works, and all His forces, as many as He has made, He has revealed to the righteous, and the chosen, in the Name of the LORD of Spirits.

62.1 And thus, The LORD commanded the kings, and the mighty, and the exalted, and those who dwell upon the Earth, and said: “Open your eyes, and raise your horns, if you are able, to acknowledge the Chosen One.”
62.2 And the LORD of Spirits, sat on His Throne of Glory, and the spirit of righteousness was poured out on him, and the word of his mouth kills all the sinners, and all the lawless, and they are destroyed in front of him.
62.3 And on that Day, all the kings, and the mighty, and the exalted, and those who possess the Earth, will stand up, and they will see, and recognize, how he sits on the Throne of His Glory. And the righteous are judged, in righteousness, in front of him, and no idle word is spoken in front of him.
62.4 And pain will come upon them, as upon a woman in labor, for whom giving birth is difficult, when her child enters the mouth of the womb, and she has difficulty giving birth [[refusing to speak this word as commanded]].
62.5 And one half of them, will look at the other, and they will be terrified, and will cast down their faces, and pain will take hold of them, when they see that Son of Man sitting on the Throne of His Glory.
62.6 And the mighty kings, and all those who possess the Earth, will praise, and bless, and exalt, Him who rules everything that is hidden [[in the LORD’s armory, His treasure house]].
62.7 For, from the beginning, that Son of Man was hidden, and the Most High kept him in the presence of His power, and revealed him only to the Chosen.
62.8 And the community, of the Holy and the Chosen, will be sown, and all the Chosen will stand before him, on that day.
62.9 And all the mighty kings, and the exalted, and those who rule the dry ground, will fall down before him, on their faces, and worship; and they will set their hopes on that Son of Man, and will entreat him, and will petition for mercy from him.
62.10 But the LORD of Spirits will then so press them, that they will hasten to go out from before him, and their faces will be filled with shame and the darkness will grow deeper on their faces.
62.11 And the Angels of Punishment will take them, so that they may repay them for the wrong that they did to His children, and to His chosen ones.
62.12 And they will become a spectacle, to the righteous, and to His chosen ones. They will rejoice over them, for the anger of the LORD of Spirits will rest upon them, and the sword of the LORD of Spirits will be drunk with them.
62.13 And the righteous, and the chosen, will be saved on that Day, and they will never see the faces of the sinners, and the lawless, from then on.
62.14 And the LORD of Spirits will remain over them, and with that Son of Man they will dwell, and eat, and lie down, and rise up, forever and ever.
62.15 And the righteous and chosen will have risen from the earth, and will have ceased to cast down their faces, and will have put on the Garment of Life.
62.16 And this will be a Garment of Life from the LORD of Spirits; and your garments will not wear out, and your glory will not fail, in front of the LORD of Spirits.

63.1 In those days, the mighty kings, who possess the dry ground, will entreat the Angels of His Punishment, to whom they have been handed over, so that they might give them a little respite. And so that they might fall down, and worship, in front of the LORD of Spirits, and confess their sins in front of Him.
63.2 And they will bless, and praise, the LORD of Spirits, and say: “Blessed be the LORD of Spirits, and the LORD of Kings, the LORD of the Mighty, and the LORD of the Rich, and the LORD of Glory, and the LORD of Wisdom!
63.3 And everything secret is clear, in front of You, and Your power is for all generations, and Your glory is forever and ever. Deep, and without number, are all Your secrets, and Your righteousness is beyond reckoning.
63.4 Now, we realize that we ought to praise, and bless, the LORD of Kings, and the one who is King over all Kings.”
63.5 And they will say: “Would that we might be given a respite, so that we might praise, and thank, and bless Him, and make our confession in front of His Glory.
63.6 And now, we long for a respite, but do not find it, we are driven off and do not obtain it; and the light [[understanding]] has passed away from before us, and darkness [[ignorance hiding these treasures]] will be our dwelling, forever and ever.
63.7 For we have not made our confession before Him, and we have not praised the name of the LORD of Kings, and we have not praised the LORD for all His works, but our hopes have been on the scepter of our kingdom [[the confused and insane in power]], and of our [[own]] glory.
63.8 And, on the day of our affliction and distress, He does not save us, and we find no respite to make our confession, that our LORD is faithful in all His doings, and in all His judgements, and His justice, and that His judgements show no respect for persons.
63.9 And we pass away from before Him, because all our works, and all our sins, have been counted exactly.”
63.10 Then they will say to them: “Our souls are satiated with possessions, gained through iniquity, but they do not prevent our going down into the flames of the torment of Sheol [[hell]].”
63.11 And after this, their faces will be filled with darkness and shame, in front of that Son of Man, and they will be driven away from him. And, the sword will dwell among them, in front of him.
63.12 And thus says the LORD of Spirits: “This is the Law, and the judgement for the mighty, and the kings, and the exalted, and for those who possess the dry ground [[without this word of God they refuse]], in front of the LORD of Spirits.”

64.1 And I saw other figures hidden in that place.
64.2 I heard the voice of the Angel saying: “These are the [[evil]] Angels who came down from Heaven, onto the Earth [[and put themselves in the LORD’s place]], and revealed what is secret to the sons of men [[making them blind and dumb]], and led astray the sons of men, so that they committed sin.”

Psalms 18
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a Rock save our God?
32 It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me upon my high places.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has made me great.
36 You have enlarged my steps [tsa’ad – the path to life] under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 For you have girded me with strength unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.
48 He delivers me from my enemies: yea, you lifted me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto your name.
50 Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

Psalms 24
1 The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your face, O Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; even lift them up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts [[a man of just war, Whose mercy endures forever]], he is the King of glory. Selah.

10 – 12 November 2023

Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

The above is the LORD speaking through Job of His people’s current condition, as Job, God’s hated people in this generation, ponder recognizing, in the conversation, it is His presence, while not seeing it is His day: the Day (light returned) of the LORD.

Friends, as mentioned in previous posts (and often), God’s people are blinded to His time by the many voices of the proud, some describing Him and His way, all (Babylon as a whole) mixing their ignorance into this truth, clogging and polluting the well. These men, hiding behind the spurious mask of false humility, are building their own kingdoms, not knowing by this, they make themselves His adversaries (satan – resisting and opposing His will and plan).

This one voice, exalted above all others, is the salvation of the world. The LORD doesn’t force it on any. It’s willing compliance, seeing it’s the Father in son (me – I Am) speaking and working, and faithfully, by choice, obeying His commands: His will.

Philippians 1
25 And having this confidence [In the LORD in me], I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of 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 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 your adversaries [satan]: which is to them an evident token [sign] of perdition [apoleia – their perishing that comes from endlessly wrestling with this word until they destroy themselves], 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 [long] suffer for his sake;
30 Having the same conflict [agon – this same good fight] which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Philippians 2
1 If there be therefore any [ei tis – when a man] consolation [paraklesis – calls to you] in Christ [the LORD alive in my flesh], if any comfort [paramuthion – only appearing here, meaning this persuasive address] of love [agape – giving this word of the LORD as received], if any fellowship [koinania – joint participation] of the Spirit, if any bowels and [if in these is revealed the LORD’s] mercies,
2 Fulfil you my joy, that you be likeminded, having the same love [agape – giving the same word a received], being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name [Timothy – time of Theos] which is above every name: [The word time {Tim} means “a value, i.e. money paid, or (concretely and collectively) valuables; by analogy, esteem (especially of the highest degree), or the dignity itself.” It is a name never given in my family. It is given by God {Theos}, intentionally telling of the “time” no man would know, and only my father knew. The LORD spoke of sending me long ago, revealing me in His time, this Day when His understanding covers the earth.]
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [Jehovah Salvation manifested in the flesh] is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed [in all ways obey], not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out [katergazomai – this is the LORD’s work in and through us] your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which work in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputing:
15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights [understanding] in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause also do you joy, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the LORD Jesus to send Timotheus [Timothy – the time of God] shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state [when your obedience is fulfilled].
20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.

Hebrews 5
5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he [the Father] that said [in Psalms 2:7, to His anointed when the heathen are raging thinking they will break the unbreakable band of His law and cast away the cords that bind man to Him as Creator] unto him [as He said to me], “You are my Son, today have I begotten you.”
6 As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered [the warned of experience of not obeying the advice that is for our good];
9 And being made perfect [by obedience], he became [I Am] the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing you are dull of hearing [not yet hearing this word as the word of God].
12 For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles [stoicheion – elements] of the oracles [the written word delivered to us] of God; and are become such as have need of milk [basic foundational understanding, by which lacking your ignorance is proven without obedience and confession of His presence and work], and not of strong meat [the deep understanding you evidently still lack].
13 For every one that uses [still desires only the superficial understanding] milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe [remaining in a childish state].
14 But strong meat [deep understanding, the realization that brings faith and obedience] belongs to them that are of full age [and have become men], even those who by reason of use [of the things that have made them men] have their senses exercised [the corruption worked out of their minds] to discern both good and evil [and learned to choose the good and refuse the evil].

2 Corinthians 10
2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some [who commend themselves and have faith in their own words and ways], which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh [by our own ways and ideas, having faith in ourselves].
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness [when subordination comes] to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7 Do you look on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he [thinks he] is Christ’s, even so are we [truly] Christ’s.
8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the LORD has given us for edification [building you into warriors in His army, the ONE BODY in which He lives], and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed [I will not fail to bring you, those the LORD has predestined, into this perfection and promised end]
9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters [when you understand this is the LORD present as He said He would be, doing His work].
10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
11 Let such a one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed [weighty and powerful] when we are present.
12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule [canon – the LORD’s standard] which God has distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you [to reveal Him, His mind to those He has chosen].
14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far [as He has ordained] as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ [which is His power in you when He has risen to life in you as He has in me]:
15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labors; but having hope [of your perfection], when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged [when you understand it is the LORD in us] by you according to our rule [canon – the LORD’s standard of measuring a man] abundantly,
16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.
17 But he that glories, let him glory in [that he knows] the LORD [and that the only glory is His manifesting His presence alive in us].
18 For not he that commends himself is approved [proves nothing by faith in himself], but whom the LORD commends [by His glory manifested and presence revealed in him by Him].

Job 23
1 Then Job [God’s hated people] answered and said,
2 Even today is my complaint [words against the LORD are] bitter [mriy – in all its other {twenty-two} uses it’s rendered rebellion, rebels, or rebellious]: my stroke [yad – hand, here meaning a burden carried] is heavier than my groaning [than their words deserve].
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his [mercy] seat!
4 I would order my cause before him [paniym – in His presence], and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength [understanding] in me.
7 There the [self] righteous might dispute with him [trying to prove their ways are right]; so should I be delivered forever from [the trials and correction of the LORD] my judge.
8 Behold, [going their own ways] I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive [biyn – understand] him:
9 On the left hand, where he does work, but I cannot behold him: he hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see [ra’ah] him:
10 But he knows the way that I take: when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 My foot has held [followed in] his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desires, even that [uncovering the wicked and bringing salvation to the world] he does.
14 For he performs the thing that is appointed [choq – the appointed, decreed, time] for me: and many such things are with him.
15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence [paniym]: when I consider [biyn – understand], I am afraid of him.
16 For God makes my [hardened] heart soft, and the Almighty troubles me:
17 Because I was not cut off before [paniym – from His presence] the darkness [by their ignorance], neither has he covered the darkness from my face [paniym – neither has He kept their ignorance secret].

Job 24
1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
2 [Because] Some remove the landmarks [gbuwlah – the boundaries, the bounds the LORD set on the sons of Adam {Deuteronomy 32:8}, which the communists invaders removed {Isaiah 10:13}]; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof [ra’ah – as shepherds devouring the scattered flock]. [Isaiah 10:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the LORD has performed his whole {body of} work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish {paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth} the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria {the communists}, and the glory of his high looks. 13 For he says, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds {gbuwlah} of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man: 14 And my hand has found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathered eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing {to rise into heaven}, or opened the mouth {as their LORD commands them}, or peeped.]
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert [they all go their own way], go they forth to their [own] work; rising betimes [early] for a prey: the wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
6 They reap everyone his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing [no protection from the corrupt elements of the earth], that they have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains [the word of their corrupt governments of church and state], and embrace the [false] rock for want of a shelter.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst [without this word of God].
12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded cries out: yet God lays not folly to them [but gives the strength they need to recover themselves].
13 They are of those that rebel against the light [His understanding]; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14 The murderer rising with the light [into everlasting contempt] kills the poor [those without power] and needy, and in the night is as a thief [making them ignorant and unaware they have come to kill, rob, and devour all].
15 The eye also of the adulterer [the unfaithful] waits for the twilight [the effects of ignorance to take hold], saying, No eye shall see me: and disguise his face [with the ashes {Strong’s #666 – ‘apher}, the effect, of the ruin of the earth].
16 In the dark [when ignorance covers the earth] they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime [even when we understand who they are]: they know not the light [they refuse to acknowledge this understanding].
17 For the morning [now when light has come] is to them even as the shadow of death [to bring ignorance a confusion against those who know them]: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death [cast by the wicked].
18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he behold not the way of the vineyards.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so does the grave those which have sinned [wandered away from the LORD’s understanding].
20 The womb shall forget him [they shall not pass into the light and life]; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered [zakar]; and wickedness shall be broken [shabar – uselessly splintered] as a tree.
21 He evil entreats the barren that bears not: and does not good to the widow.
22 He draws also the mighty with his power: he rises up, and no man is sure of life.
23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he rests; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

Isaiah 10
15 Shall the axe [the communists I sent to hew down the upright trees in power] boast itself against him [the LORD] that hews therewith? or shall the saw [who cuts these men into pieces I can use to rebuild] magnify itself against him that shakes it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no [dead] wood [to be used by me for My purposes].
16 Therefore shall the LORD, the LORD of hosts [a man of war], send among his fat ones [who before prospered under His rule] leanness; and under his glory [manifesting His presence] he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 And the light [understanding] of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns [misleaders] and his briers [deceivers] in one day [when this understanding covers the earth];
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer [showing the way] faints [macac – melts away as described in Zechariah 14:12 and 2 Peter 3:10 & 12 when the stoicheion, the corrupt “elements,” melt way in the fires these men’s words and ways have caused.].
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped [pleytah] of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay [sha’an – rely] upon him that smote [nakah – who with lies and misleading made them blind and dumb] them; but shall stay [sha’an – rely] upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption [killayown – only used one other time: Deuteronomy 28:65, where it’s rendered “failing” of eyes; as in what these men say they’ve seen, as in Zachariah 14:12 – see below] decreed [charats – this the end of the war desolation, when the full body of this anointing is poured out {Daniel 9:26 & 27}, when the LORD indignation is accomplished {Daniel 11:36}, the consumption upon the whole earth {Isaiah 28:22}, and in Job 14:5 saying “Seeing his {man’s} days are determined {charats}, the number of his months are with you {LORD}, you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;”] shall overflow with righteousness.
23 For the LORD God of hosts shall make a consumption [kalah], even determined [charats], in the midst of all the land.
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian [the communists in power]: he shall smite [nakah] you with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt [oppressors who held you in hard bondage].
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation [za’am] shall cease [kalah], and my anger in their destruction.
26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb [those whose power is to cover the world in darkness, causing endless strife among God’s people]: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt [these words shall cover, giving understanding to all, and overthrow the wicked in power].
27 And it shall come to pass in that day [when this light of the LORD has come], that his [the wicked’s] burden [the ignorance and mass confusion they’ve caused] shall be taken away from off your shoulder, and his yoke [joining you with them by consent] from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of [paniym – manifesting the LORD’s presence by] the anointing [of the king].
28 He is come to Aiath [Ai – the heap of ruin], he is passed to Migron [the precipice]; at Michmash [where they have hidden] he has laid up his carriages:
29 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba [in their high place]; Ramah [and the high place] is afraid; Gibeah [where the consequences come – as in Judges 19] of Saul is fled.
30 Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim [who they’ve divided and scattered, to whom these waters now come]: cause it to be heard unto Laish [the lion – their strength, as Ariel, where judgment is perverted], O poor Anathoth [your prayers have been answered].
31 Madmenah [the dung hill, the burning trash heap, their hell] is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim [the keepers of the idols, their corrupt words] gather themselves to flee.
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob [his fruit and his high places] that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the LORD [‘adown – the King of God’s people], the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts [who is manifested in His man of war], shall lop [cut off] the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon [their false standard of purity in high places] shall fall by a mighty one.

Zechariah 14
1 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal [unto sanctification]: yea, you shall flee, like as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah [the strength of Jehovah] king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints [the former sea] with you [the latter sea].
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light [understanding] shall not be clear, nor dark [these messages are heard but not yet fully understood]:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light [into the darkness of ignorance and confusion the LORD comes with understanding].
8 And it shall be in that day, that [these] living waters shall go out from [Heavenly New] Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem [all the high places, and their fruit, shall be brought down by the peace that flows from His right hand]: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate [the entryway taught by the right hand of the LORD] unto the place of the first gate [the place where the light is first seen], unto the corner gate [and turning to Him {the LORD} they shall enter], and from the tower [where is seen the evidence of the price paid to redeem the earth: the field] of Hananeel [those who God has favored] unto the king’s winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem [the peace He is teaching]; Their [works of the] flesh shall consume [maqaq] away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes [what they say they’ve seen and understand] shall consume [maqaq] away in their holes, and their tongue [their word against the LORD] shall consume [maqaq] away in their mouth. [Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.]
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
14 And Judah [the elect remnant – the saints who have come with the LORD] also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen [those who haven’t known the LORD] round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance [the things they thought were valuable but are actually the burdens and plagues]
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague [the defeat of all those who carry {teach and preach} these burdens].
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto [Heavenly New] Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt [the houses of oppression] go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles [who come not out of these houses of oppression – to the harvest].
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt [the oppressors who put heavy burdens on God’s people], and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses [this shall be the shade in the day, that replaces the plague of the burdens upon the horses], Holiness Unto The LORD; and the pots [filled with these living waters that have flowed from Him] in the LORD’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in [Heavenly New] Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto [pure, to be delivered in the form it was received from] the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite [those who {conspicuously} hate their brother, because upon him is the righteousness that pleases the LORD] in the house of the LORD of hosts.

The word maqaq, only used seven other times, meaning “to melt; figuratively, to flow, dwindle, vanish,” very descriptively appears in the following passages.

Leviticus 26
36 And upon them that are left alive [in animated dead flesh] of you I will send a faintness [morek – only appearing here, telling of softening their hardened hearts: minds] into their hearts [their minds failing] in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf [the LORD’s Spirit moving unseen and unknown] shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword [this word from My mouth]; and they shall fall when none pursues.
37 And they shall fall one upon another [upon the stumbling block of their hardened minds], as it were before a sword, when none pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
38 And you shall perish among the heathen [who haven’t known me, as in the generation that no longer remembered Joseph], and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39 And they that are left of you shall pine away [maqaq] in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away [maqaq] with them.
40 If they shall [soften their hardened minds, and] confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary [griy – with hostility] unto me;
41 And that I also have walked contrary [griy] unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts [their mind without spiritual discernment] be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment [correction] of their iniquity:
42 Then will I remember [zakar] my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember [zakar]; and I will remember [zakar] the land [‘erets – the earth].

Isaiah 34
1 Come near, you nations [who’ve refused to know the LORD, who’ve refused] to hear [shama’ – obey]; and hearken, you people: let the earth hear [shama’ – obey], and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
2 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations [the ignorant who continue with their own evil words and ways], and his fury upon all their armies [the liers and deceivers under the command of the communists: pope and presidents]: he has utterly destroyed them, he has delivered them to the slaughter [their own words have destroyed them, showing them to be the maliciously insane: ruling by evil decrees that are no longer followed].
3 Their slain also shall be cast out [shalak – thrown out {into the light}], and their stink shall come up [‘alah] out of their carcasses [the shall be perceived to be the dead awakened to everlasting contempt], and the mountains [their positions of power, institutions which are the seats of deception and evil misleading] shall be melted [macac] with their blood.
4 And all the host of heaven [the enemy armies occupying the places where understanding should be found] shall be dissolved [maqaq], and the [old and corrupt] heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea [Edom, Esau, the enemies mixed among us as neighbors, claiming we at peace with while they war against us, our God, and His sound mind: truth and reality] and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
6 The sword [this word] of the LORD is filled with blood [draining away what animates their dead bodies], it is made fat with fatness [it has prospered], and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah [among His flock], and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea [destroying these enemies].
7 And the unicorns [the one horn, the united powers of confusion and demoralization: the cause of the mass delusions of the insane] shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust [the ruin of the earth under their control] made fat with fatness [their ruining has prospered and will prosper until it never rises again].
8 For it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion. [which was, “Who is better suited to rule the world?”]
9 And the streams [the words coming from them] thereof shall be turned into pitch [burning darkness], and the dust [the ruin] thereof into brimstone, and the land [‘erets – the earth] thereof shall become burning pitch [the flaming ruin of hell].
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up forever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it [‘abar – none shall pass from there into life] forever and ever.

Isaiah 37
22 This is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him [the communists]; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, has despised you, and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
23 Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? and against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
24 By your servants have you reproached the LORD, and have said, “By the multitude of my chariots [that carry the words and ways of confusion into the battle] am I come up to the height of the mountains [power over all the world], to the sides of Lebanon [where purity was once seen on high]; and I will cut down the tall cedars [the upright men] thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I [as a serpent] will enter into the height of his border [qets – their foretold end], and the forest of his Carmel [the LORD’s garden of Eden].
25 I have digged, and drunk water [understanding dark sayings]; and with the sole of my feet [traveling among them] have I dried up [censored] all the rivers of the besieged places.”
26 Have you not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that you shouldest be to lay waste defensed cities into ruinous heaps.
27 Therefore, their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
28 But I [the LORD] know your abode, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against me.
29 Because your rage against me, and your tumult, is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
30 And this shall be a sign unto you, You shall eat this year such as grows of itself [the result of the confusion you have sown]; and the second year that which springs of the same: and in the third year sow you, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof [which is now ripe, seen to be what it is, and now readied for My harvest].
31 And the remnant that is escaped [pleytah] of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32 For out of [Heavenly New] Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape [pleytah] out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
33 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria [the communists now in power], He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, says the LORD.
35 For I will defend this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
36 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote [nakah] in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning [when this light has come], behold [I saw], they were all dead corpses [animated flesh awakened to everlasting contempt].

Ezekiel 4
16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break [shabar – see Job 24:20 above] the staff of bread [the whole body of the work of the communists] in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away [maqaq] for their iniquity.

We know, from its uses in Isaiah 14 and Job 38, that shabar is speaking of the LORD destroying the work, the evil decrees, of the communists in power, and the confusion they’ve wrought.

Isaiah 14
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear, and from the hard bondage wherein you were made to serve,
4 That you shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon [the confusion that now rules over the world], and say, How has the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
5 The LORD has broken [shabar] the staff of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers.
6 He who smote [nakah] the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindered.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since you are laid down, no feller is come up against us.
9 Hell from beneath is moved for you to meet you at your coming: it stirs up the dead for you, even all the chief ones [the powers] of the earth; it has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations [into everlasting contempt].

24 The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 That I will break [shabar] the Assyrian [the communists] in my land [‘erets – MY earth], and upon my mountains [governments] tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
27 For the LORD of hosts [a man of war] has purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28 In the year that king Ahaz [who now holds God’s people captive] died was this burden.
29 Rejoice not you, whole Palestina [the enemy army mixed among us, who are now seen in plain sight], because the rod of him [the communists] that smote [nakah] you is broken [shabar]: for out of the serpent’s [dead] root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent [saraph – they have no idea that their work has brought forth the LORD, whose word is now exalted].

As we know, the word saraph only appears a few (six) other times. The first of these are in Numbers 21:6 & 8, as we told of when Moses lifted (exalted) the fiery serpent (saraph) on a pole (flying it as a banner). This occurred when the people spoke against God, as serpents (saraph) mixed among them in their camp, which (words) were biting and killing (the minds of) those bitten. The LORD commanded Moses to lift the fiery serpent on a pole (nec), and if they were bitten (by the serpents among them opposing the word of God), all who looked to it would live.

We also know the LORD says, in John 3:14 – 21, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation [krisis – the self-condemning decision], that light [understanding] is come into the world, and men loved darkness [ignorance] rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”

Numbers 21
8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make you a fiery serpent [saraph], and set it upon a pole [nec]: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, shall live.

Job 38
4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if you have understanding.
5 Who has laid the measures thereof, if you knowest? or who has stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together [when all God’s children sprang to life and spoke His word as received], and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8 Or who shut up the sea [humanity] with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9 When I made the cloud [where My understanding is held] the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling-band [ignorance as a protective wrapping] for it,
10 And brake [shabar] up [the darkness] for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors [so no other would understand until I sent the One I chose],
11 And said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves [of the wicked] be stayed?
12 Have you commanded the morning [this light coming] since your days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new], that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal [my signature pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment [righteousness with which I protect My people from the corrupt elements of the world].
15 And from the wicked their light [this understanding] is withheld, and the high arm shall be broken [shabar].
16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea [these waters that give life to humanity]? or have you walked in search of the depth [below their surface]?
17 Have the gates of death [and hell] been opened unto you? or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth of the earth [when its ages end and begin again]? declare if you know it all.

Psalms 27
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host [the army of the wicked] should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When you said, Seek you my face [paniym – Your presence]; my heart said unto you, Your face [paniym – Your presence], LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not your face [paniym – Your presence] far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land [‘erets – the earth] of the living.
14 Wait [qavah – bind together, collect] on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart [He has written understanding to our minds]: wait [qavah – until He has awakened us all and joined us in His ONE BODY], I say, on the LORD.
