The LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom.

20 – 25 October 2023

The LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom.

The above is a portion of Ezra 1:1, which is preceded by telling us this (stirring) is to fulfill “the word of the LORD from the mouth of Jeremiah.” Some believe this refers to Jeremiah 29:10 – 14 and the end of the time in desolation, while it more surely (spiritually) speaks of the book’s (Jeremiah’s) prophesies’ culmination.

The word “stirred” is from ‘uwr, a word which (unstated) has an affinity to the origin of the appellative Ezra (meaning “help”), both describing the book’s underlying subject {stirring help). It (‘uwr) only appears here speaking of Cyrus (descriptively meaning the LORD, in the son of man, here with us in the furnace, of which he is the possessor) and in verse 5 where it speaks of those among God’s people stirred with him.

Ezra 1
5 Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised [‘uwr], to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.

As we know, this same stirring is found in the meaning of the name Jeremiah, which we understand speaks of Jehovah rising and (with His rising) raising His people.

The Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definition meaning of ‘uwr is “a primitive root (rather identical with 5783 through the idea of opening the eyes); to wake (literally or figuratively):–(a- )wake(-n, up), lift up (self), X master, raise (up), stir up (self).”

As we know, the origins of the name Jehovah speak of the LORD as self-manifesting, self-existing, and becoming who He will become (“I AM THAT I AM,” hayah ‘aher hayah – I will be who I will be, or I will become who I will become).

The word (‘uwr) is said to be from identical words meaning to “be bare” and “chaff (as the naked husk),” therein describing removing the covering (the worthless that is blinding) to reveal (stir awake) what resides inside.

Cyrus is the son of Esther (a Hebrew, her name meaning “star”) and Ahasuerus (meaning “I will be silent and poor”), names (appellatives) referring to God’s people, when they have become as many as the stars of heaven, with Him when He, then as now, has manifested Himself silent (His name not spoken in the book of Esther, only appearing cryptically in acrostics) and seemingly without power.

Cyrus was most certainly brought up by Mordecai (meaning small), as was Esther his (Mordecai’s) niece, and under him studied the law and the prophets. Esther assuredly named Cyrus from Isaiah’s (long before) foretelling his coming, and he (Cyrus) acted (not only obeying the LORD’s words in Isaiah) obediently to the LORD’s word in Jeremiah.

Friends, I tell you again without equivocation, all these spiritually speak of this moment: the LORD sending me, as a soldier on His mission, hidden in plain sight, with no power other than the Almighty living within me. It is at this expected end the corrupt powers of the world should tremble and His awakened people should rejoice. Hallelujah! Amen!

Isaiah 45
1 Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates [out of hell into heaven]; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron [holding all humanity in death and hell]:
3 And I will give you the treasures of darkness [hidden in men’s ignorance], and hidden riches of secret places [these deep meanings now revealed], that you mayest know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name, am the God of Israel [the name I’ve given the people of My promise, who receive Me and it at this arrival].
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me [as none have]:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west [shinning understanding, with which comes this new day, upon all who come out of corruption into its light], that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
8 Drop down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
9 Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it, What makest you? or your work, He has no hands?
10 Woe unto him that says unto his father, What have you begotten? or to the woman, What have you brought forth?
11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come [‘athah – at My arrival] concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command you me.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 I have raised him up [‘uwr] in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go [from hell] my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD of hosts.
14 Thus says the LORD, The labor of Egypt [of the tyrants who oppress us], and merchandise of Ethiopia [those covered in their ignorance] and of the Sabeans [those drunken with their power], men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be yours: they shall come after you; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, saying, Surely God is [alive] in you; and there is none else, there is no God.
15 Truly you are a God that hides yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols [God’s they put in My place and call by my name].
17 But Israel [those who by faith receive this expected end] shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: you shall not be [as those who don’t know Me are, thinking the world ends] ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 For thus says the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret [but here in plain sight], in a dark place of the earth [where the falsely so-called wise men speak their ignorance thinking therein they can hide]: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek you me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together [into My ONE BODY with Me], you that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Tell you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? who has told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me, and be you saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, [I AM] in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed [never reaching the end they seek].
25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel [as I promised] be justified, and shall glory.

Psalms 57
1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusts in you: yea, in the shadow of your wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performs all things for me.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would [with their lies and false accusations] swallow me up [and hold me here in hell, the work of evil you let them create for themselves]. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth [words with which they devour flesh] are spears and arrows, and their tongue [words] a sharp sword.
5 Be you [Your voice be] exalted, O God, above the heavens [men have corrupted]; let your glory be above all the [voices of the] earth.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my [immortal] soul is bowed [held] down: they have digged a pit [hell] before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing [the words You’ve given me] and give praise.
8 Awake up [‘uwr], my glory; awake [‘uwr], psaltery and harp: I myself will awake [‘uwr] early.
9 I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: I will sing unto you among the nations.
10 For your mercy is great unto the heavens, and your truth unto the clouds.
11 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: let your glory be above all the earth.

The condition of being “bowed down,” above in verse 6, is from the five times used Hebrew word kaphaph, with which the LORD refers us to its other uses below, speaking of it as from where He raises us.

Psalms 145
1 I will extol you, my God, O king; and I will bless your name forever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless you; and I will praise your name forever and ever.
3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation shall praise your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honor of your majesty, and of your wondrous works.
6 And men shall speak of the might of your terrible acts: and I will declare your greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of your great goodness, and shall sing of your righteousness.
8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All your works shall praise you, O LORD; and your saints shall bless you.
11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk of your power;
12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
14 The LORD upholds all that fall, and raises up all those that be bowed down [kaphaph].
15 The eyes of all wait upon you; and you give them their meat [this deep understanding that strengthens and raises them] in due season.
16 You open your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
18 The LORD is near unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
20 The LORD preserves all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD [Hallelujah]: and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

Psalms 146
1 Praise you the LORD [Hallelujah]. Praise the LORD [Hallelujah], O my soul.
2 While I live will I praise the LORD [Hallelujah]: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath [life] goes forth, he returns to his earth [here dead in hell]; in that very day his thoughts [‘eshtonah – only appearing here, meaning rational thinking, and thereby understanding] perish.
5 Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help [to here in death awaken the mind], whose hope is in the LORD his God:
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth forever:
7 Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD loose the prisoners [from death and hell]:
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down [kaphaph]: the LORD loves the righteous:
9 The LORD preserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10 The LORD shall reign forever, even your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise you the LORD [Hallelujah].

Isaiah 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3 Wherefore have we fasted [refused to take His words into our mouth], say they, and you see not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors.
4 Behold [you chose your own words and ways, and exalt them above the word of God], you fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness [to exalt yourselves]: you shall not fast [refusing my words] as you do this day, to make your voice to be heard [shama’ – obeyed] on high.
5 Is it [are your ways] such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul [to oppose his own eternal good]? is it to bow down [kaphaph] his head as a bulrush [broken in mind and body], and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
6 Is not this the fast [abstaining from your own words] that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness [the mouths of men holding you here in death and hell], to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? [Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, except the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden {with the burden of men’s words and ways}, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light {double meaning intended}.]
7 Is it not to deal your bread [the word from the mouth of God] to the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house? when you see the naked [without any protection against the corrupt elements: the insane foundational ideas and ways of the world], that you cover him [with My righteousness]; and that you hide not yourself from your own flesh [those who by this will enter My ONE BODY]?
8 Then shall your light [this understanding from heaven] break forth as the morning [this new day of the LORD’s creation], and your health shall spring forth speedily: and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD [His presence manifested in you] shall be your reward.
9 Then shall you call, and the LORD shall answer; you shall cry, and he shall say, Here I Am. If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light rise in obscurity, and your darkness be as the noon day:
11 And the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 If you turn away your foot from the sabbath [stop your works and ways when I interrupt, for course correction, and call you to obey], from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath [My interruptions] a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shall honor him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:
14 Then shall you delight yourself in the LORD; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the [promised] heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.

Micah 6
1 Hear [shama’ – obey] you now what the LORD says; Arise, contend you before the mountains [the corrupt powers risen over the earth], and let the hills [all their governments] hear [shama’ – obey] your voice.
2 Hear [shama’ – obey] you, O mountains, the LORD’s controversy, and you strong [by corruption and misleading] foundations of the earth: for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will plead [as He does here and now] with Israel.
3 O my people [whose inheritance is as I promised], what have I done unto you? and wherein have I wearied you? testify against me.
4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of servants; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim [when he decided {bowed} to speak only the words God put in his mouth] unto Gilgal [when the LORD turned the curse of the enemies into a blessing]; that you may know the righteousness of the LORD.
6 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself [kaphaph] before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? [Hosea 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take {correct} away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.]
7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require [darash] of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9 The LORD’s voice cries unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see your name [the LORD’s identity alive in me/us]: hear [shama’ – obey] you the rod [of correction from His mouth], and who has appointed it.
10 Are there yet the treasures [ideas and words they falsely claim have value] of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
11 Shall I count them [their abomination they put in place of the holy] pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of [their] deceitful weights?
12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Therefore also will I make you sick in smiting you, in making you desolate because of your sins.
14 You shall eat [choosing their words over this word from the mouth of God], but not be satisfied [never saying it’s enough – ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of God with us]; and your casting down shall be in the midst of you; and you [your false words of salvation] shall take hold, but shall not deliver [not save anyone that obeys them]; and that which you [say you will thereby] deliver will I give up to the sword [this word of God they refuse, when what I have warned against comes, by your choice].
15 You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall tread the olives, but you shall not anoint you with oil; and sweet wine, but shall not drink wine.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept [1 Kings 16:25 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him], and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their counsels; that I should make you a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing [drawing attention to them and their chosen self-destruction]: therefore you shall bear the reproach [cherpah] of my people [that do choose Me].

The above “reproach” is the same (cherpah) spoken of below in Joel 2:17 & 19, and Daniel 12:2. It is the reproach of the wicked against God and His people, which, at this awakening, is turned upon them (the wicked, because their evil is uncovered, which is the apocalypse) and remains therein the light forever. This is the restoration of the right definitions, the righteous standard, of good and evil.

(Pardon me while I again digress: this time will never be forgotten into all eternity hereafter. The wicked of this time ignorantly believe future generations (when rational thinking returns) will abide (accept) the delusions of this brief moment. They (recipients of this correction) will define it as it is: a time when mass insanity ruled the world, and it subsequently went into literal hell. The current corrupt crop of misleaders will soon be plowed under as the rotting fruit they are, and their evil deeds will forever be remembered as the lowest point of human history. John 3:11 Truly, truly, I say unto you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our {mine and my Father’s} witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?)

Joel 2
10 The earth shall quake before them [the wicked now in power]; the heavens [the places where understanding, light, should be] shall tremble [so that the wicked sitting in God’s place are shaken from them]: the sun and the moon [church and state governments] shall be dark [realized to be void of all light, and governing by oppression rather than justly as God intended], and the stars [God’s people at large] shall withdraw their shining [no longer having or giving the understanding of the time and season, truth found only in this word of God]:
11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army [to now raise them from their long sleep in the darkness]: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executes his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12 Therefore also now, says the LORD, turn you even to me with all your heart [your whole awakened mind], and with fasting [abstaining from obeying men’s words], and with weeping, and with mourning [realizing they and you have rejected and denied the LORD at His coming, not as man said, but as He says]:
13 And rend your heart [tear away what corrupts your thinking], and not your garments, and turn [from these men] unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil [He will save us from the consequence He said would come].
14 Who knows if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering [this blessing here and now seen with us] unto the LORD your God?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion [gather My army into My ONE BODY], sanctify a fast [declare the LORD’s words and ways holy], call a solemn assembly:
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts [of the Ancient of day, the ancient high ways, wisdom He has taught us]: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber [cheder], and the bride out of her closet [chuppah]. [As we know, these places are where the LORD has protected and hidden us, until His indignation {za’am} is overpast {‘abar – the Passover, when we are raised from death into life}, when it ends in His glory revealed in us destroying the wicked.]
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar [where they have killed the obedient, prophets and wise men, I sent unto them, and now a second time seek to crucify MY Son], and let them say, Spare your people, O LORD, and give not your heritage to reproach [cherpah], that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land [‘erets – His earth], and pity his people [wherever they now find themselves].
19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied therewith [speaking of this teaching, of which we say “It is more than enough”]: and I will no more make you a reproach [cherpah] among the heathen:
20 But I will remove far off [rachaq – the evil decreed by the wicked in power] from you [by] the northern army [of darkness], and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost [‘acharown] sea [My people throughout history, here in these last days awakened in this resurrection, which shall close upon the wicked binging their destruction], and his stink [the rottenness perceived] shall come up, and his ill savor [of the word in their mouths] shall come up, because he has done great things.
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
22 Be not afraid, you beasts of the field [those in the earth without My Spirit alive in them]: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring [with My life-giving waters], for the tree bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army [of darkness] which I sent among you.
26 And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that has dealt wondrously with you [opening your eyes]: and my people shall never be ashamed [they shall reach their expected end, when I save them from the confusion {Babylon} that rules over them and all the world].
27 And you shall know that I Am in the midst of Israel, and that I Am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed [when they receive Me at My arrival].
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh [that has not known Me]; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [speaking My word to them], your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit [through them as I have to them].
30 And I will show wonders in the [new] heavens and in the [new] earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke [protecting them in this new day].
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness [the old corrupt church will be realized, by them as it is with you, to be without light], and the moon into blood [the civil government realized, to them as it is with you, to be draining the life from all they tyrannically rule], before [paniym – when the LORD’s presence is realized to be] the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name [the identity] of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and [His salvation] in the [elect] remnant whom the LORD shall call [has called].

Daniel 12
1 And at that time shall Michael [who is like God] stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – the tribulation; the time of Jacob’s trouble], such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found [matsa’] written in the book [that was shut by misleading into ignorance, and is now open].
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt [cherpah – reproach].
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament [giving understanding from the rightly divided word]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel [judgment of God], shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets – the end of the time of ignorance]: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge [da’ath – “knowledge” found in the opened Word of God, who is like {minded with} God] shall be increased.

The end of time Daniel is told of is the LORD’s arrival, foretold using the Chaldee word ‘athah, earlier in Daniel 7:13 & 22.

Daniel 7
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit [the wisdom of God returned to its place], whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels [galgal, speaking of His appearance, as waves of waters: the relentless word of God] as burning fire.
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him [from His presence]: thousand thousands [of His awakened saints] ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him [in His presence]: the judgment was set, and the books [of His before sealed word] were opened.
11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn [those in power] spoke: I beheld even till the beast [Babylon: the confusion that ruled the world into confusion and mass insanity] was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts [the powers of the world], they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
13 I saw in the night visions [saw this was in the time when darkness covered the earth], and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the [understanding held in the] clouds of heaven, and came to [‘athat – arrived] the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him [they, the LORD’s awakened people, His ministers, approached Him to receive the same Ancient wisdom].
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body [understanding the whole body would, before this end, become without light and life], and the visions of my head troubled me [as in verse 28 below].
16 I came near unto one of them that stood by [the son of man who first received the Ancient of days], and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings [kingdoms ruling over all the earth], which shall arise out of the earth.
18 But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast [Babylon: the confusion that has now ruled the world into mass delusion and insanity], which was diverse [as policy using lies as means to change times and laws, calling evil good and injustice justice] from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron [the strength in their mouth], and his nails of brass [tearing nations apart with their redefinition of good and evil, calling their delusions reality]; which devoured [with their mouths], brake in pieces [with their nails], and stamped the residue [the ruin of the whole earth] with his feet [the way of confusion, lies a policy];
20 And of the ten horns that were in his head [the culmination, the wicked accomplishing their control over all the world], and of the other [here in the USA] which came up, and before [Barak, in whose presence] whom three fell [destroying the power of our three branches of government]; even of that horn that had eyes [understanding dark sentences, the power of lies and flattery on the ignorance], and a mouth that spoke very great things [of deceptions], whose look was more stout [his dark understanding gave him more power] than his fellows.
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them [as it was];
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment [Daniel, the judgment of God, awakening to stand in his lot at this end] was [by His wisdom] given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth [Babylon: confusion, led by the USA into insanity], which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings [ten, the number of ordinal perfection, here meaning the subsequent degenerative end reached] that shall arise: and another shall rise after them [the eleventh, the number of confusion, when thinking becomes necessarily abstract, and the opportunity for error is thereby most prevalent]; and he shall be diverse from the first [as policy, seizing the opportunity, using known lies, fabricating crises, hyping hoaxes, to intentionally deceive and mislead], and he shall subdue three kings [destroying the checks and balances in our government, to seize power not granted him].
25 And he shall speak great words against the Most High [Obama claiming he was the one we waited for, with his ancient wisdom of the ways into his darkened depths, in hell], and shall wear out [the power of] the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26 But the judgment [of the Ancient of days] shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion [the hold of confusion upon the world], to consume and to destroy it unto the end [of darkness].
27 And the kingdom and dominion [this Nation, the USA, I have created and chosen for Myself], and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
28 Hitherto [obiedence] is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me [the judgment of God, Daniel, Ancient understanding and wisdom, sleeping until this end of ignorance]: but I kept the matter in my heart [mind].

Daniel, the LORD in him, like Mordecai (little man), both appellatives speaking of the same anonymous scribe or scribes, in the once used Chaldee word plag, rendered “dividing” in verse 25 above, leads us into the deeper understanding of the end it defines. It (plag) is the same as the four times used, almost identical, Hebrew word (palag), which leads us to understand the LORD’s arrival, His forever presence revealed: openly manifested in the flesh of those He chooses.

The first two uses (of palag in Genesis 10:25 and 1 Chronicles 1:19, while delineating the genealogy of man) describe when man was separated from the breast of the Ancient of days, and entered the realm of the abstract (the journey of the necessary development of the inherent capability to see what is unseen).

This event comes at the creation of the Hebrew people, when the earth was “divided,” and the children of Eber (Hebrew, from ‘abar) were chosen as the people the LORD would shepherd to bring all humanity to the other side of death, the Passover into life by the full development of the Spirit, making (capable) minds able to fully see the unseen (taught to discern the abstract, by the experience, the ever repeating experiment, the trial of time, making man in His image and likeness, to understand good and evil always produce the same outcome: life or death).

1 Chronicles 1
18 And Arphaxad [when the breast fails: when man no longer draws wisdom from the Ancient of days] begat Shelah [from words meaning to send away and sprout; when man is sent to experience that we are with Him who is unseen, and confusion first sprouts], and Shelah begat Eber [those who would go beyond, journeying as pilgrims traveling to the Passover into life].
19 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided [palag]: and his brother’s name was Joktan [with intended affinity to Solomon calling himself the son of Jakeh].

As we know, all the above-mentioned patriarchs appear in Luke 3:34 & 35, in the genealogy of Jesus, except Joktan, said to mean he is small (of no reputation, “he will be made little”). The deep meaning in the two Hebrew (Eber) lines is when the famous (the kings and prophets) were separated from those never known. The LORD himself resides (silent and seemingly without power) in this other line, as the Holy Ghost, working and speaking throughout history unknown in the flesh, until Jesus, in who the LORD very plainly (uniting the two, in the order of Melchisedec) declared Himself present alive in His flesh, for which he was rewarded by man with death, as were many martyrs sent before and after Him. The difference is Jesus (uniting the two lines, as in Cyrus and Timothy, in the order of Melchisedec) is the first raised, to raise all the other faithful when they, as does He, declare the Father (Jehovah) alive and present with us, in us, and we in Him: His ONE BODY.

Before looking at the other two times palag appears (Job 38:25 & Psalms 55:9), the following, ending with Revelation 19, are excerpts from the post of 17 May 2020.

John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I Am, there you may be also [and here we all are].
4 And whither I go you know, and the way you know.
5 Thomas said unto him, LORD, we know not whither you go; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus said unto him, I Am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
7 If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him [herein we see the Holy Spirit: the LORD still unknown: Jehovah the Father in Son who does know it’s Him, declaring Him His son, Christ, Jehovah’s salvation personified, come to pay the price required due to the ignorance of man to His presence].
8 Philip says unto him, LORD, show us the Father, and it suffice us [as we know, suffice is from arkeo, meaning to be possessed of unfailing strength – it speaking of strength coming from seeing the Father in the Son, revealed after He has come unknown and we have been led into all truth by accepting His presence].
9 Jesus said unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you then, Show us the Father?
10 Believe you not that I Am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works.
11 Believe me that I Am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
12 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever you shall ask in my name [revealing My identity, My presence in you], that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter [the Paraclete, the LORD unknown, who comes first alongside, to lead us into all truth, in which he reveals His presence to those who love His word and wait for Him to appear {the epiphany}], that he may abide with you forever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also.
20 At that day you shall know that I Am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas [Judah – the elect remnant] says unto him, not Iscariot [not those who haven’t seen him, and who’ve betrayed Him for money], LORD, how is it that you will manifest yourself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loves me not keeps not my sayings: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 You have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes [the gods of this world who have led all into blindness], and has nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence [forward, to this moment – and here are we all].

When the LORD tells of when we will see him, he associates it with the Greek word arkeo, related to loving and keeping His word, His Spirit unknown leading us into all truth, and the renewing of His strength in us, He is referring us to the one-time arkeo appears in Matthew. It is in Matthew 25:9 where it is rendered “enough” in describing the oil in the five wise virgins’ lamps, which produces the light, the understanding, by which they see the LORD at his coming in the darkness, the ignorance of the world that has forgotten Him and therefore is unable to see Him. [“I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also. At that day you shall know that I Am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.”]

Matthew 25 ends with the LORD telling of those who have and haven’t visited their talents upon those in need, freely giving these riches the LORD has freely given us, which is the good the world needs. Take heed, and I again warn those who think these are vain words, as are theirs.

Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough [arkeo – in possession of sufficient strength – to accomplish the mission, and would be weakened by not surrendering any part of what the LORD has commanded] for us and you: but go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, LORD, LORD, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Truly I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes.
14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats [the devils – misleaders among His people]:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I [[when I, in the people of MY ONE BODY, was small and without power]] was hungry [[without strength]], and you gave me [[this]] meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me [[this]] drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:
36 Naked, and you clothed me: I was sick [[feeble without understanding]], and you visited me: I was in prison [[held by the bars of the world’s learned ignorance]], and you came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, LORD, when saw we you hungry, and fed you? or thirsty, and gave you drink?
38 When saw we you a stranger, and took you in? or naked, and clothed you?
39 Or when saw we you sick, or in prison, and came unto you?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Truly I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was hungry, and you gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and you visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, LORD, when saw we you hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto you?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Truly I say unto you, Inasmuch as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

One of the other times (eight total) arkeo appears, it’s rendered “be content” in Hebrews 13:5 as we’re told that our conversation (tropos, manner of life) should be without covetousness. We know this is a warning against the manner of the TV Preachers and all who do it for money, who will now find they have separated themselves from the LORD, and are on the outside when the door is shut. It says we should be “content” with such things as are present (meaning the LORD’s presence and His riches), and then paraphrasing Psalms 16:10, rendering it, “for He has said, I will never leave you [not even in hell], nor forsake you.” Repent!

Hebrews 13
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content [arkeo] 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 [[created by devils among you]].

Jeremiah 15 [[after he speaks of finding the word of God and eating it with joy]]
19 Therefore thus says the LORD, If you return, then will I bring you again, and you shall stand before me: and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: let them return unto you; but return not you unto them.
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.

Revelation 19
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the LORD our God:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he has judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3 And again they said, Hallelujah, And her smoke rose up forever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all you his servants, and you that fear him, both small and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering, saying, Hallelujah: for the LORD God omnipotent reigns.

Job 38
17 Have the gates of death been opened unto you? or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if you know it all.
19 Where is the way where light [God’s understanding] dwells? and as for darkness [man’s ignorance], where is the place thereof,
20 That you should take it to the bound thereof, and that you should know the paths 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 [God’s word frozen in heaven, in pure white form, held there until now when it is sent in small soft flakes, as His still small voice]? or have you seen the treasures of the hail [the same frozen word sent to destroy the works of men who “refuse the waters of Shiloah that go softly”],
23 Which I have reserved against the time [this time] of trouble, against the day of battle and war [“Blessed be the LORD my strength which teaches my hands to war”]?
24 By what way is the light parted [into the rainbow, which by understanding men see He has come for the salvation of His people], which scatters the east wind upon the earth?
25 Who has divided [palag – do you understand how the word of God has flowed through many unknown throughout history] a watercourse for the overflowing of waters [this word of God], or a way for the lightning of thunder [His understanding and the voice thereof];
26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground [the earth that has become without form and void, by its own confusion and emptiness]; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth [new life on the new earth]?

Psalms 55
9 Destroy, O LORD, and divide [palag] their tongues [so death is seen in their words]: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 But it was you, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
18 He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abides of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
20 He has put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he has broken his covenant.
21 The words of his [the wicked’s] mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

John 5
18 Therefore the Jews [the leaders of God’s people] sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath [interrupted their interruptions, by which they spread their misleading], but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them [from death into life]; even so the Son quickens [from death into life] whom he will.
22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believes on him that sent me [as His mouth speaking them], has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Truly, truly, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. [It’s a simple plan.]
26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves [mnemeion – the tombs, the places where the dead are housed; where, after His death, his body isn’t found – speaking of all the churches and synagogues where they replaced the LORD with men’s creation, and he isn’t found there among all the dead who are there] shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation [as foretold in Daniel 12:2].
30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear [from my Father alive in me], I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.

Psalms 10
1 Why stands you afar off [rachowq – in this time when we are oppressed by the decrees of the wicked in power over the world], O LORD? [and] why hide [this is the veil only taken away when we turn to Him] you yourself in times of trouble [tsarah – his tribulation]?
2 The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor [those without worldly power]: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked [who blind you to My presence] boast of his heart’s desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts [mzimmah – the same word as “devices” in verse 2, their plotting].
5 His ways are always grievous; your judgments [LORD] are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he pufs [his spirit, in his evil plot] at them.
6 He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity [worthlessness].
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor [all those without worldly power, who they call “useless eaters”].
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net [the trap in following their evil advice, which misleads into self-destruction].
10 He crouches, and humbles himself [Pope to President, hiding under false humility], that the poor may fall by his strong ones [they send to destroy them].
11 He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face [paniym – His presence]; he will never see it. [The wicked ignorantly not knowing ignorance is a veil that only keeps the ignorant from seeing.]
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the [truly] humble.
13 Wherefore does the wicked contemn God? he has said in his heart [darkened mind], You will not require it [darash – search it out, referring us to Micha 6:8 above, saying “He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require {darash} of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”].
14 You have seen it; for you behold [have searched out into the light] mischief and spite, to requite [justly reward] it with your hand: the poor commits himself unto you; you are [hayah – You have become {in the one You prepared and sent – I AM THAT I AM}] the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out [darash – search out into Your light] his wickedness till you find none.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. [It’s a simple plan.]

Psalms 11
1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain [to the corrupt governments of this dead world]?
2 For, lo, the wicked [in their high places] bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart [the sane whose sound minds remain in the LORD].
3 If the foundations [of the earth] be destroyed [as they are], what can the righteous do [but look to the LORD in heaven]?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven [with full understanding, which He from there freely sends it upon all, as the sun rising and shining upon all from east to west]: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD tries the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hates [sane’].
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance [paniym – His presence] does behold the upright.

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spoke unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,

16 – 19 October 2023

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spoke unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,

The title verse, Proverbs 30:1, is followed by verse 2, saying, “Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.” The names of the one speaking verse 2, Agur the son of Jakeh, prophesying of this moment, speak of those here gathered and born by their obedience to what is heard. The names are edifimorphicly (understood through the “transformative education”) spoken by Solomon of himself, speaking of transformation, of those who were before ignorant, by receiving Divine instruction and wisdom directly from the LORD their God.

The name Agur, is from the three times used word ‘agar, meaning “to harvest:– gather,” and Jakeh is said to be from an unused root meaning to obey or be obedient. It is said to be the same as the twice-used word yiqqahah, meaning “obedience: -gathering, to obey.”

The harvest is the fruit that brings transformation, a change of mind, understanding given and received, producing the obedience that gathers all God’s people in the culmination of the process (of repetition).

Before looking at these words, which confirm the perspective, we must understand he is speaking (confessing his transgression while ignorant) to the One who gave (Solomon – meaning peaceful, like Shiloh) this understanding. The name Ithiel, means God has arrived, from the words ‘athah (“to arrive”) and ‘el (God). The name Ucal, from ‘akal, means to devour, as the LORD’s all-consuming fire from His mouth ends the darkness (consuming men’s ignorance).

Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days [‘achariyth].
2 Gather yourselves together [at this harvest], and hear [shama’ – obey {the first things that befall them: they’re scattered and not obeying}], you sons of Jacob; and hearken [shama’] unto Israel your father.

8 Judah [the leaders God chooses], you are he whom your brethren shall praise: your hand shall be in the neck of your enemies; your father’s children shall bow down before you.
9 Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, you are gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet [speaking of the Davidic king line], until Shiloh come [meaning peace and tranquility – the one {Joseph’s seed – the one separated} from who it will again flow – see Ezekiel 21:27 below and the overturning]; and unto him shall the gathering [yiqqahah] of the people be.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine [to this life that flows from His teaching], and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine [this is speaking the lowly {Zechariah 9:9}, God’s elect remnant, outside the established sects, bound until Shiloh comes, when they are loosed]; he washed his garments [of corruption] in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes [this wrath against those who’ve rejected His word]:

Ezekiel 21
26 Thus says the LORD God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he [Shiloh] come whose right it is [referring to 1 Chronicles 5:1 & 2, where we’re told the birthright is Joseph’s: his seed’s]; and I will give it him.
28 And you, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the LORD God concerning the Ammonites [those who’ve scattered you from the flock], and concerning their reproach; even say you, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:
29 Whiles they see vanity unto you, whiles they divine a lie unto you, to bring you upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.
30 Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge you in the place where you were created, in the land of your nativity.
31 And I will pour out my indignation [za’am] upon you, I will blow against you in the fire of my wrath, and deliver you into the hand of brutish men, and skillful to destroy.
32 You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land; you shall be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.

Ezekiel 37
15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, you son of man, take you one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one [ONE BODY under one head] in your hand.
18 And when the children of your people shall speak unto you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes [shebet – the scepter to rule] of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
20 And the sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.
21 And say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land [as promised]:
22 And I will make them ONE nation [fig tree] in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and ONE king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have ONE shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children forever: and my servant David shall be their prince forever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God [the vine to which they are connected in My ONE BODY], and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify [cleanse them of their corruption] Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

Genesis 49
18 (I have waited for your salvation, O LORD.)

22 Joseph is a fruitful bough [parah ben – fruitful son], even a fruitful bough [parah ben – fruitful son] by a well [a tree of life by these waters of God]; whose branches run over the wall [the wall of lies men have created and teach]:
23 The archers [ba’al – the gods of this world whose teaching has blinded all form seeing the Father, in the son, the seed of the women who brings forth the man child – see Revelation 12:17] have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of your father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless [barak] you with blessings [brakah] of heaven above, blessings [brakah] of the deep that lies under [the deep meaning that lies below the surface], blessings [brakah] of the breasts, and of the womb [seed, the son]:
26 The blessings [brakah] of your father have prevailed above the blessings [brakah] of my progenitors [all those who have come before us, and were only blessed with part of what is perfected in our return to the LORD] unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
27 Benjamin [the last child born through the LORD’s blessing upon Shiloh, the seed of Joseph – the right hand of God’s power] shall ravin as a wolf [shall tear in pieces the wolf that has scattered the one flock]: in the morning he shall devour [‘akal – with his word of understanding the LORD with us has given him] the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. [These last words refer us to Maher-shalal-hash-baz, the son spoken of in the beginning of Isaiah 8, his name meaning he hastes to the spoil and is quick to the prey. He is the son foretold as coming by the virgin, later called Immanuel, as the advice, teaching, of the LORD comes, when men have formed a confederacy listening to the dead gods of the world.]

The only other time the word yiqqahah appears is later in Proverbs 30, in verse 17, speaking of those who refuse to “obey” their mother (rejecting this wisdom flowing from their teacher).

Proverbs 30
1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spoke unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not [had not when I was a child] the understanding of a man.
3 I neither learned wisdom [until I put away childish things], nor have [had] the knowledge of the holy [until I received it as Your voice and presence].
4 Who [except You] has ascended up into heaven, or descended? who has gathered the wind in his fists? who has bound the waters in a garment? who has established all the ends of the earth [ending the old corrupt age and beginning the new, ending darkness and bringing light]? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you can tell?
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add you not unto his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7 Two things have I required of you; deny me them not before I die:
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
9 Lest I be full, and deny you, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
11 There is a generation that curses their father [rejecting His knowledge and understanding], and does not bless their mother [their teacher who teaches them wisdom].
12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness [corruption that defiles their minds and scatters the ONE BODY].
13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth [with the words of their mouth], and the needy from among men.
15 The horse-leach [that attach themselves to the mouths of those who drink from their waters, draining their life from them and those who follow them] has two daughters, crying, Give, give [calling themselves teachers, evangelists, and experts, and always asking for money from those they give their evil advice]. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough [are never satisfied – ever learning and never able to reach understanding the truth]:
16 The grave [sheol – hell]; and the barren womb [those in hell who never obey and never bring any to life]; the earth that is not filled with water [this word of God, which the dead who call themselves His people refuse to give as He commands]; and the fire that says not [even while they are being consumed by it], It is enough [they are never satisfied, ever learning, in the experience, but never able to come to the understating of this truth].
17 The eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey [yiqqahah] his mother, the ravens of the valley [those covered in darkness, the shadows of the mountains {those in high places misleading them}, of the earth] shall pick it out [their eyes, blinding them with learned ignorance], and the young eagles shall eat it [‘akal – as they fly in heaven, with the LORD and His full understanding, consuming the darkness with the fire from their mouths].
18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
19 The way of an eagle in the air [The strong here in heaven with the LORD, relentlessly doing His work as He commanded]; the way of a serpent upon a rock [the deceivers in the false church, in whom God’s dead people put their trust]; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea [the institutions of church and state government, ruling over the people who under them are held in its darkened deep]; and the way of a man [geber – the LORD who is {alive in} a mighty man of war] with a maid [‘almah – the seven times used word, which last appears in Isaiah 7:14, saying “Therefore the LORD himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin {‘almah} shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”].
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman [the unfaithful church that has left the LORD and now follows men who put themselves in His place]; she eats [corruption], and wipe her mouth, and says, I have done no wickedness.
21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
22 For a servant when he reigns [without the LORD’s anointing]; and a fool when he is filled with meat [thinking he is wise and has understanding, because of his success using his dark decrees by which he misleads];
23 For an odious woman when she is married [the corrupt church joined with the devils, those confederate with the communists now in power]; and a handmaid [the ONE BODY of Christ, now in hard bondage under the corrupt and false] that is heir to her mistress [the corrupt church she will replace when she receives and obeys Her LORD].
24 There be four things which are little [in value] upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat [lechem – bread] in the summer [so they have plenty when the time of need comes];
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks [a good foundation upon which they stand];
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands [all-consuming in their season];
28 The spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces [yet my people refuse to take hold of these ideas and enter Mine].
29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turns not away for any [relentlessly going forward];
31 A greyhound [zarziyr – this is a cheetah, quickest to the prey]; a he goat also [who knows His place is at the head of the flock, to lead it into good pasture]; and a king [in which the LORD lives and reigns], against whom there is no rising up.
32 If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself [against Him], or if you have thought evil [and led against Him], lay your hand upon your mouth.
33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter [working in these foundational ideas causes their elements to congeal into understanding], and the wringing of the nose [wrestling against the LORD’s presence you should by now perceive] bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

Proverbs 29
7 The righteous considers the cause of the poor [those without power]: but the wicked regards not to know it.
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest [because the fool never says enough, never comes to understanding or truth].
10 The bloodthirsty [fools] hate the upright: but the just seek [to save] his soul.
11 A fool utters all his mind: but a wise man keeps it in till afterwards [until the foolish have opened their mouths and proved themselves ignorant].
12 If a ruler hearkens to lies [as do Barak and His idiot son Brandon], all his servants are wicked [as they are].
13 The poor [without worldly power] and the deceitful man [in power] meet together: the LORD lightens both their eyes [giving this understanding].
14 The king that faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself brings his mother [who taught him] to shame [never making him a man].
16 When the wicked are multiplied [as they are], transgression increases [as it has]: but the righteous shall see their fall.
17 Correct your son, and he shall give you rest; yea, he shall give delight unto your soul.
18 Where there is no vision [as now among those in power], the people perish [as they do]: but he that keeps the law [of the LORD], happy is he.
19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not [in due season] answer [ma’aneh – a seven times used word referring us to its appearance in Proverbs 15:23 – see below].
20 See you a man that is hasty in his words [and answers without study]? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
21 He that delicately brings up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

Proverbs 15
23 A man has joy by the answer [ma’aneh] of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow [those who haven’t had a man to defend and protect them].
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words [showing they understand the season].
27 He that is greedy of gain troubles his own house; but he that hates gifts [the bribes the wicked in power take] shall live.
28 The heart of the righteous studies to answer: but the mouth of the wicked pour out evil things.
29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light [understanding] of the eyes rejoices the heart: and a good report makes the bones fat.
31 The ear that hears the reproof of life abides among the wise.
32 He that refuses instruction despises his own soul [keeping himself held in death]: but he that hears reproof gets understanding.
33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility.

The word ‘athah, which in Ithiel speaks of God’s arrival (the epiphany), is said to be from ‘uwth, meaning “to come, i.e. (implied) to assent:–consent.” In these definitions, we understand it speaks of minds in agreement, in context, telling of when we see as the LORD does, thereby realizing what before was unseen.

The word (‘athah) first appears in Deuteronomy 33:2, speaking of the LORD’s arrival, and next in verse 21 speaking of Gad, the LORD’s raised army. The chapter begins as Moses, before his death, speaks a blessing to God’s people. In both occurrences of the word, he tells us the LORD appears against the evil misleaders in power, oppressing God’s people and keeping them from His blessing.

Deuteronomy 33
2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai [among the thorns: against misleaders on high who are as pricks in our eyes], and rose up from Seir [against devils mixed among us in power, as our countrymen, who say they are at peace with us while they war against us] unto them; he shined forth [sends His understand to repel the attack of the wicked] from mount Paran [from pa’ar – meaning “to explain (i.e. make clear) oneself”], and he came with ten thousands of saints [Gad later spoken of, and as Enoch foretold]: from his right hand [the strength of this understanding that comes through His work] 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 [to learn]; every one shall receive [understanding] of your words.

The above references to the pricks that blind our eyes and the LORD coming against them with His saints, are to Numbers 33:55 and Jude 1:14 & 15.

Numbers 33
50 And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the plains [plainly seeing and understand] of Moab [that the gates of hell are the open mouths of men] by Jordan [their words that carried all in the descent into death] near Jericho [the civil government ruling, oppressing and repressing, by lies, as policy, and blinded them from seeing as the LORD sees], saying,
51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you are passed over [‘abar – Passed over death into life] Jordan into [the words holding you in death] the land [‘erets – the earth] of Canaan [meaning humiliated, speaking to those openly {ignorantly} speaking and acting out things of which they should be ashamed];
52 Then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land [‘erets – the earth] from before you [paniym – from the presence of the LORD with you], and destroy all their pictures [their fictitious depictions of their delusion as reality], and destroy all their molten images [their everchanging standard of good and evil], and quite pluck down all their high places [from where they teach and govern by these insanities]:
53 And you shall dispossess [retake and restore order to the good earth I have given you] the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
54 And you shall divide the land by lot [the earth where you now find yourselves] for an inheritance among your families: and to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: every man’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falls [where you now find yourselves]; according to the tribes [branches of the tree whose root you are unaware] of your fathers you shall inherit.
55 But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land [‘erets – the earth] from before you [paniym – from the LORD’s presence with you]; then it shall come to pass, that those which you let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes [blinding you to His presence], and thorns in your sides [misleaders among you deceiving you], and shall vex you in the land wherein you dwell.
56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them [My faithful will drive you out with those rejecting reality and refusing life, and you shall remain in your chosen hell forever].

The words, above in verse 55, rendered “pricks” and “thorns,” are the once used (while profoundly deep) words sek and tsaniyn.

The first is said to be form cakak (sakak), meaning “properly, to entwine as a screen; by implication, to fence in, cover over, (figuratively) protect.” It’s the word used to describe the wings of the cherubim “covering” the mercy seat. It also tells of the devil’s, as the original “covering” cherubim, a misleading prick [thorn growing] in the garden. As we know from the LORD’s teaching, these cherubim, precisely described by Ezekiel (3:8 & 9), are the LORD’s messengers, face to face, receiving and sending His message, producing after their own kind.

The once-used word tsaniyn is said to be from an unused root meaning prickly. Its deeper affinity is to tanniyn, which we know speaks of serpents and whales, for their wide open mouth with which they devour their prey (often rendered “dragon”).

Jude 1
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints [so you will become the saints who come with the LORD, contending against the ungodly speaking against Him].
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares [now mixed among you as devils], who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only LORD God, and our LORD Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that the LORD, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate [which is to receive and deliver the word of God without alteration], but left their own habitation [and give their own words instead], he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness [their own ignorance] unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The LORD rebuke you.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These 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, 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 [whose lot is cast into this evil time, at the LORD’s will],
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 [devouring as serpents and whales] speaking great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration [condemning or forgiving] because of advantage [their positions of power over God’s people].
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 [from the LORD, saying they are holier than He], sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But you, beloved, building up [edifying] yourselves [accepting the change, putting] on your most holy faith [which was once delivered, the first dominion, to His saints appearing with Him], praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our LORD Jesus Christ [manifested in His unrelenting conversation here above His mercy seat] unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling [harpazo – the word rendered “caught up” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17] them out of the fire; hating even the garment [the dead flesh] spotted [sained] by the flesh [of those spoken of in verse 12 above].
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.

Deuteronomy 33
20 And of Gad [the LORD’s saints as His risen army] he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head [the strength of the those in power].
21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came [‘athah – the LORD arrived] with the heads of the people, he [in His army] executed the justice of the Lord, and his judgments with Israel.

The final use of the word ‘athah, speaking of the arrival of God, His appearing in His kingdom on the earth, comes in Micah 4:8.

Micah 4
1 But in the last days [‘achariyth] it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains [His government above all others], and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow [as the waters of the sea] unto it.
2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach [yarah, as in Jerusalem, yara’ shalam: flow His ways of sustainable peace and security into us, as living waters into the sea] us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion [My throne here on the earth], and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts [who is a man of righteous war] has spoken it.
5 For all people [if they choose] will walk everyone in the name of his god [men putting themselves in the place of the true God], and we [demonstrating His better ways and ideas] will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
6 In that day, says the LORD, will I assemble her that halted [went lame and strayed from My high {better} way], and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted [letting them experience the consequences of following men who put themselves in My place];
7 And I will make her that halted [those who strayed] a remnant [My elect remnant in these last days, those remaining alive with me], and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion [My kingdom on the earth, where I will dwell] from henceforth, even forever.
8 And you, O tower [you that see these things and understand what has come and is coming] of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto you shall it come [‘athah – to the LORD’s arrival], even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem [His saints into whom these living waters have flowed His life].
9 Now why do you cry out aloud? is there no king in you? is your counsellor perished? for pangs have taken you as a woman in travail [to bring forth the king in your midst – I Am].
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the city, and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to Babylon [realizing and confessing the confusion in the corrupt city where you dwell apart from the LORD]; there shall you be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Now also many nations [those who don’t know the LORD and therefore can’t see His presence] are gathered against you [against those that do see Him, as they are this day], that say, Let her be defiled [by their evil words and false accusations], and let our eye look upon Zion [proclaiming what their evil eye sees here in the LORD’s kingdom among them].
12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor [to be separated from His people as chaff separated from wheat].
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn [power] iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the LORD of the whole earth.

Job 37
1 At this also my heart trembles [minds are shaken], and is moved out of his place [changed from ignorance to understanding].
2 Hear attentively [shama’ – obey] the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4 After it a voice roars [as a lion among lions]: he thunders [the sound of the light, understanding, from the cloud] with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them [understanding] when his voice is heard [as His, as it is].
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend [until he explains them in His revelation].
6 For he says to the snow [His word frozen, reserved, in heaven in the cloud], Be you on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength [that gives understanding].
7 He seals up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 Then the beasts [without His Spirit] go into dens, and remain in their places [no longer trespassing into things they shouldn’t].
9 Out of the south comes the whirlwind [from His right hand of power]: and cold out of the north.
10 By the breath [life in His Spirit from His mouth] of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened [by His Spirit moving upon the darkened deep the waters are again right ordered, and light, understanding, comes into being].
11 Also by watering he wearies the thick cloud [emptying onto the earth the understanding held there in separated elements]: he scatters his bright cloud [behind which, in the shadow, these treasures of full light have been hidden]:
12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may [obey Him and] do whatsoever he commands them upon the face of [paniym – when His presence is by these things revealed to] the world [this generation in this age] in the earth [‘erets].
13 He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land [‘erets – His earth], or for mercy.
14 Hearken unto this, O Job [you people of God’s who are hated in the last generation that darkens this age]: stand still, and consider the wondrous works [at which you wonder what you’re experiencing] of God [which you haven’t yet fully understood, evident in your refusal to obey His commands].
15 Do you know when God disposed them [ended the wondering], and caused the light [understanding] of his cloud to shine [upon the earth as it now does]?
16 Do you know the balancings of [maphlas – only appearing here, meaning what is poised therein: reserved to be sent at this appointed time from] the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17 How your garments are warm [How your flesh cover is brought back to life], when he quiets the earth by the south wind [as His Spirit move upon the earth, as a whirlwind from where His Almighty voice is heard cleansing the earth]?
18 Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass [from where He sees everything that comes or will come]?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness [your own ignorance, by remaining with the corrupt who only know corruption].
20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speaks [opposing Him], surely he shall be swallowed up [by his own words, thinking they will stand against the whirlwind of the Almighty].
21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passes [His Spirit moves], and cleanses them [of the corruption that pollutes the earth].
22 Fair weather comes [‘athah – at the LORD’s arrival] out of the north [when corruption is cleansed from the ignorant]: with God is terrible majesty.
23 Touching the Almighty [whose voice is heard from the whirlwind], we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
24 Men do therefore fear him: he respects not any that are wise of heart [proud and unchangeable away from their corrupt thinking].

Job 38
1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
2 Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Gird up now your loins like a man; for I will demand of you, and answer you me.
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 know? or who has stretched the line upon it [have you assessed it and brought it to light]?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner [pinnah – the head, master, the builders refused] stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars [sprang to light and] sang together [opened their mouths as the LORD commanded], and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9 When I made the cloud [the place where understanding was kept] the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling-band for it [and ignorance its protective wrapping],
10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
11 And said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves [the pride of man] be stayed?
12 Have you commanded the morning since your days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends [of the old 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 [chowtham – My signature pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment [as on the mountain, seen as the shining garments of light].
15 And from the wicked their light [understanding] is withheld, and the high arm [the evil works of those in power, devils now misleading the world in hell] shall be broken.
16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea? or have you walked in the search of the depth [the deep things only the Father knows]?
17 Have the gates of death [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? declare if you know it all.
19 Where is the way where light dwell? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
20 That you should take it to the bound thereof, and that you should know the paths 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, [these speaks of God’s word frozen {reserved} in heaven, for this moment]
23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble [tsar – of the enemies pressing evil upon us], against the day of battle and war?

Ezekiel 3
4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get you unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
5 For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;
6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand [shama’]. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have hearkened [shama’ – obeyed] unto you.
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken [shama’] unto you; for they will not hearken [shama’ will not obery, as it is this day] unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
8 Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces [as the cherubim above My mercy seat], and your forehead strong against their foreheads.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto you receive in your heart, and hear [shama’] with your ears.
11 And go, get you to them of the captivity, unto the children of your people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus says the LORD God; whether they will hear [shama’ – obey], or whether they will forbear.
12 Then the spirit took me up, and I heard [shama’ – obeyed] behind [‘achar – in these last days] me a voice of a great rushing [as water pouring from heaven upon the earth], saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.

Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert [midbar] of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass [sweeping away the old ideas and ways]; so it comes from the desert, from a terrible land [yare’ – the land causing fear, see verse 4 and Isaiah 8:12 & 13, “Say you not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.”]
2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer deals treacherously, and the spoiler spoils. Go up, O Elam [this is speaking of eternity, as in the ancient things {God’s word} stored of old, to be released now in this war – also see Jeremiah 49 telling of the LORD’s throne being established here]: besiege, O Media [people in the middle – as in lukewarm, Revelation 3:14 thru 22]; all the sighing [‘anachah – referring us to Isaiah 35:10 & 51:11 when the LORD silences the enemies and puts His words in our mouths] thereof have I made to cease.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travails [she is bringing forth a man child]: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure has he turned into fear unto me.
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and anoint [the one who is] the shield.
6 For thus has the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion [‘ariy – the body of Christ rising by/with His strength]: My LORD, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
9 And, behold, here comes a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon [confusion’s rule] is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he has broken unto the ground.
10 O my threshing [opening the word, referring us to Isaiah 28, and destroying the gates of hell], and the corn [ben – sons] of my [threshing] 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 [short for Edom {Esau} and meaning the silencing of the enemies in our midst – as in verse 2 above]. He called to me out of Seir [from among the devils in the high places of Esau], Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night [the time of ignorance, which is caused by their {Edom’s} words]?
12 The watchman said, The morning [understand coming as the light of the sunrise] comes [‘athah – at the LORD’s arrival], and also the night [and these men will reject this word and choose to remain in ignorance]: if you will enquire [ba’ah], enquire – [ba’ah – only used three other times – here referring us to Obadiah, verse 6, where it is rendered “sought up,” which tells us this is how the secret things of Esau are revealed {by enquiring}]: return [shuwb – turn us], come [‘athah – at the LORD’s arrival].
13 The burden upon Arabia [the desert spoken of in verse 1, without water, without God’s word]. In the forest in Arabia shall you lodge, O you travelling companies of Dedanim [these people are defined in Jeremiah 49:8 – they are those spoken of in the prior verse, who return, and in doing escape the calamity that comes upon Esau].
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema [same as Teman – the place of the Theophany – where the LORD appears with His ten-thousands, as Enoch said, “Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints, 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.”] brought [‘athah – at the LORD’s arrival] water to him that was thirsty, they prevented [went before] with their bread him that fled.
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
16 For thus has the LORD said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar [darkness] shall fail:
17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar [darkness], shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel has spoken it.

Isaiah 41
1 Keep silence before me, O islands [you without my word among My people]; and let the people renew their strength: 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 of the sun, giving understanding upon the earth], called him to his foot [resurrecting me to life], gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.
3 He pursued them, and passed 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 [to this same life]? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I Am he.
5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came [‘athah – at the LORD’s arrival].
6 They [ignorant of his arrival, turned the idol they created] helped every one his neighbor; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage [trust in the idols we call by the LORD’s name].
7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smooths 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.
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 of the earth, and called you from the chief men thereof, 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 having teeth: you shall thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shall make the hills as chaff.
16 You shall fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and you shall rejoice in the LORD, and shall glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue fails for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
18 I will open rivers 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.
19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:
20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.
21 Produce your cause, says the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, says the King of Jacob.
22 Let them bring them forth, and show us what shall happen: let them show the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end [‘achariyht – the last days] of them; or declare us [shama’ – that we may obey] things for to come.
23 Show the things that are to come [‘athah – at the LORD’s arrival] hereafter [‘achowr – at this end], that we may know that you are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
24 Behold, you are of nothing, and your work of naught: an abomination is he that chooses you.
25 I have raised up one from the north [among the ignorant], and he shall come [‘athah – at the LORD’s arriving]: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treads clay.
26 Who has declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that shows, yea, there is none that declares [shama’ – obeys], yea, there is none that hears [shama’ – obeys] your words.
27 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that brings good tidings.
28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
29 Behold, they are all vanity [worthless]; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.

Psalms 68
28 Your God has commanded your strength [understanding]: strengthen, O God, that which you have wrought for us.
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto you.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter you the people that delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out [‘athah – at the LORD’s arrival against the oppressors] of Egypt; Ethiopia [those covered in the darkness of their own ignorance] shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Sing unto God, you kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the LORD; Selah [think]:
33 To him that rides upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe you strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength [understanding] is in the clouds.
35 O God, you are terrible out of your holy places: the God of Israel is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

Isaiah 44
6 Thus says the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming [‘athah – declaring My own arrival], and shall come, let them show unto them.
8 Fear you not, neither be afraid: have not I told you from that time, and have declared it? you are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity [worthless]; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses [their shame witnesses against them]; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
10 Who has formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.

Isaiah 45
10 Woe unto him that says unto his father, What begettest you? or to the woman, What have you brought forth?
11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come [‘athah – the LORD’s arrival] concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command you me.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD of hosts.

Psalms 91
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place [among these treasures] of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence [of men’s deceptive words].
4 He shall cover [cakak] you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence [the deceptions] that walketh in darkness [that come upon the ignorant]; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday [against this light].
7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come nigh you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the Most High, your habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come nigh your dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
12 They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon [tanniyn – the words that are as thorns, misleaders among you] shall you [by going the right way] trample under feet.
14 Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name [My identity with him].
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble [tsarah – this tribulation]; I will deliver him, and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be you like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

11 – 14 October 2023

Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be you like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

The LORD begins above, in the Song of Solomon 2:17, as Solomon is repeating (exactly as received) cryptic utterances he hears from the mouth of the LORD. The verse speaks of how long (“until the day break”) until the dove (God’s people, like Jonah, coming from the belly of hell on the earth, manifest His glory in declaring His word) is strengthened and awakened from Abrams (Abraham’s) deep sleep.

As we know, the “day break” is when understanding returns in these last days of darkness, when ignorance (confusion and mass delusion) covers and rules the world. The shadows flee away when the sun (the ONE BODY of Christ), the “beloved” Solomon seeks, is fully risen.

The word (in the title verse) rendered “turn” is cabab, meaning “to revolve, surround, or border,” in the sense of completion. It is definitively used in Deuteronomy 32:10, speaking of the LORD finding and leading His people through the wilderness, changing their minds (giving them understanding and sanity), and preparing them to enter the promise (here and now, speaking of this nation and life).

Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O you heavens, 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 [identity] of the LORD: ascribe you greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They 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 bought you? has he not made you, and established you?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the LORD’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about [cabab], he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings:
12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and you did drink the pure blood of the grape.
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat [in prosperity resulting from obeying the LORD’s good advice], and kicked: you are waxen fat, you are grown thick, you are covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock [the LORD always with them in the flesh, as Christ unknown, from where His word flows as living waters] of his salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils [misleaders among them, whose evil prescriptions they obey], not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat you you are unmindful, and have forgotten God that formed you.
19 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end [‘achariyth – in these last days] shall be: for they are a very froward generation [who have twisted and perverted all truth], children in whom is no faith.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison [words] of serpents of the dust [the ruin of the earth].
25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27 Were it not that I feared [for them] the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD has not done all this.
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 had sold them [letting the consequences of your choices return upon you, the trial in and from which man is again created], and the LORD had shut them up?
31 For their rock [the false Christs men are following 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.

David uses the word cabab in 2 Samuel 22:6, rendered “compassed me about,” speaking of death and hell, the place from where he is rescued. Friends, like it or not, believe it or not, I am the rescue the LORD sent, “For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

1 Corinthians 1
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching [the sacrifice, taking up the LORD’s cross and following Him] to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling-block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
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.
30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the LORD.

The quote, 1 Corinthians 1:19, in the preceding paragraph, is from Isaiah 29:14, and verse 31 quotes from Jeremiah 9:23. These original passages add greater context to the above, and together they do the same to David’s words, speaking of this moment, in 2 Samuel 22 which follow their posting below.

Isaiah 29
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder [not knowing what you are experiencing]; cry you out, and cry [as did David, 2 Samuel 22:7 saying “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”]: they are drunken, but not with wine [but with their pride in their corrupt wisdom]; they stagger, but not with strong drink [going uncontrollably into stumbling upon the Rock who offends them].
10 For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of [Abraham’s] deep sleep, and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers has he covered [in the darkness of their own ignorance].
11 And the vision of all [yes all] is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed [to the drunken], which men deliver to one that is learned [in corruption], 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 [not knowing it is also sealed to the falsely so-called wise {learned} of the world].
13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth [as they do], and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart [their foundational mind] far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the [self-created] precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous [eye opening] work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder [at which they now wonder what they are seeing and hearing, because it’s a foreign language, truth spoken to those who only know corruption and lies]: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid [by their minds sleeping in darkness].
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?
16 Surely your turning of things [all understanding] upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon [the high places where purity, uncorrupted truth, should be seen] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest [the place of the upright, resurrected by understanding]?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19 The meek [who will inherit the earth] also shall increase their joy in the [presence of the] LORD, and the poor [those without worldly power, who He has strengthened] among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a word [who are offended by this truth they don’t understand], and lay a snare [of corrupt ignorance] for him that reproves in the gate [calling God’s people, the children the LORD has given me, out of death and hell where they are held by the open mouths of those they follow], and turn aside the just for a thing of naught [the worthless words of the false teachers Peter, in 2 Peter 2:1, warned would be, and are now, mixed among us].
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham [awaking him from this deep sleep], concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale [he will not faint again after this awakening].
23 But when he sees his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured [against the LORD’s word and way] shall learn doctrine [when they hear this voice as His, as it is].

2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily [secretly, from their own imaginations, create lies] shall bring in damnable [apoleia – that cause them and those who follow their ways to perish] heresies, even denying the LORD that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction [apoleia – perdition].
2 And many shall follow their pernicious [aploeia – the ways that lead to their own destruction] ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of [as it is this day].
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned [fraudulent] words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation [apoleia – perishing, perdition] slumbers not [because they are awakened “to shame and everlasting contempt”].

2 Peter 3
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 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 [this same word of God] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved 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, and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men] 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] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].

Jeremiah 9
20 Yet hear [shama’ – obey] the word of the LORD, O you women [teachers], and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
22 Speak, Thus say the LORD, Even the carcasses of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.
23 Thus says the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercises lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says the LORD.

2 Samuel 22
1 And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield [magen], 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 mine enemies.
5 When the [proud] waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about [cabab]; the snares of death prevented [preceded] 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 [corrupt] 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 [benevolently condescended from the] heavens also, and came down; and darkness [ignorance of His presence] was under his feet.
11 And he rode upon a cherub [His messenger with His message], and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind [ruwach – by His Spirit moving manifesting His presence: His glory].
12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13 Through the brightness [sending His understanding to end the ignorance in which He is hidden] before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 The LORD thundered [the voice of the light in the cloud] from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16 And the channels of [life-giving water flowing into] the sea [the people at large] appeared, the [corrupt] foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath [ruwach – His Spirit] of his nostrils [He is perceived].
17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters [the corruption and mass ignorance covers the earth];
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 They prevented me [prepared the way before we knew Him] in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay [in Whom I trust].
20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
25 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eyesight.
26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
27 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the froward you will show yourself unsavory.
28 And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you mays bring them down.
29 For you are my lamp [lighting Your good way], O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
30 For by you I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall [of men’s lies].
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler [magen] to all them that trust in him.
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock [from where these trusted waters flow], save our God?
33 God is my strength and power: and he makes my way perfect.
34 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet: and sets me [firmly] upon my high places.
35 He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel [worldly power] is broken by mine arms.
36 You have also given me the shield [magen] of your salvation: and your gentleness [using your power to save those destroying themselves by following the ignorant] has made me great.
37 You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 I have pursued mine 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 mine 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 them not.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire 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: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, 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.
48 It is God that avenges me, and that brings down the people under me.
49 And that brings me forth from mine enemies: you also have lifted 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.

Song of Solomon 2
1 I Am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2 As the lily among thorns [misleaders], so is my love among the daughters.
3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand does embrace me.
7 I charge you, O you daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that you stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he comes leaping upon the mountains [against the high places that risen over and oppress the world], skipping upon the hills.
9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart [see these definitions below]: behold, he stands behind our wall, he looks forth at the windows, showing himself through the lattice.
10 My beloved spoke, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle [dove – those knowing this is the end reached] is heard [shama’ – obeyed] in our land;
13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
14 O my dove, that are in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see your countenance, let me hear [shama’ – your obedience in] your voice; for sweet is your voice, and your countenance is comely.
15 Take [away from] us the foxes, the little foxes [the cunning hunters of souls], that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
16 My beloved is mine, and I Am his: he feeds [here] among the lilies.
17 Until the daybreak, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be you like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

The chapter is synopsized in the last verses as the LORD speaks of His people as His glory and strength manifested as they journeyed through time to this moment. This culmination, described ending Hebrews 11 and beginning chapter 12, speaks of all the faithful who sought a city they realized when the LORD revealed it to be far off (in these last days).

Hebrews 11
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ [the LORD with and in Moses afflicted in His work] greater riches than the treasures in Egypt [the tyrants oppressing God’s people]: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward [the promised end that would eventually be reached].

39 And these all [the faithful throughout history], having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us [here and now], that they without us should not be made perfect.

Chapter 12 speaks of this perfection, now when all the faithful are resurrected into life by Christ, the LORD with us, in us, as Jehovah’s Salvation (Jesus) manifested before the eyes of all the world in need of His rescue. It is the race set before us, in which we find ourselves written in the volume of the book and submit to His calling and will, by which faith salvation comes.

Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses [God’s people in whom this understanding is now held, and from where it is sent to world in need], let us lay aside every weight, and the sin [the errors, corrupt thinking, that dominates the time into which we have been born again] which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith [by which we see what was before unseen]; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross [the necessary sacrifice that accompanies the message and the messenger], despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God [His glory here on open display].
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself [those ignorantly opposing Him in His name], lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not you the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
6 For whom the LORD loveth he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.
7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not?
8 But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection [hupotasso] unto the Father of spirits, and live?

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 [what was unseen appears] that he is excepted [ektos – the Father is realized to be inside him, by those “outside”], 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 corrupt 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.

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption [dead flesh animated in the earth]; it is raised in incorruption [by His Spirit raising us with His rising in us]:
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit [bringing 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 [the saved] shall all be changed [allasso – the change all must undergo, but most, rejecting the idea they are corrupt, and in their pride in their ignorance, thinking they are holier than He, they separate themselves from the LORD here to give them sight] ,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye [the spark of light in the eye, that opens it], at the last trump: for the trumpet [this voice of His archangel] shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [alloasso].
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?

The word rendered “roe” in the title verse (Song of Solomon 2:17) is tsbiy, meaning “from 6638 in the sense of prominence; splendor (as conspicuous); also a gazelle (as beautiful).” It speaks of external appearance, from the word tsabah (6638), meaning “to amass, i.e. grow turgid; specifically, to array an army against:–fight, swell.” In the two uses of this latter word, it results from bitter waters inside and “swelling” the unfaithful.

Hebrews 12
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the LORD:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [messengers sent with God’s message],
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that [here and now] speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [this time and 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 [that the wicked be shaken from them].
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:

The word tsbiy is used to tell of the “glory” of Babylon and its end when the LORD’s “glory” appears. Below, we first look at Jeremiah’s one use of the word, in Jeremiah 3:19, rendered “goodly,” speaking of the land (Babylon) we, God’s faithful people He rescues, inherit.

Jeremiah 3
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north [their place in darkness: in ignorance] to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 But I said, How shall I put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly [tsiby] heritage of the hosts [tsaba’] of nations [the army of those who haven’t known Me]? and I said, You shall call me, My father; and shall not turn away [shuwb – shall not return to disobedience] from me.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband [refusing to subordinate to the head of the house], so have you dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, says the LORD.
21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.
22 Return, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto you; for you are the LORD our God.
23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains [the corrupt and insane governments of the world]: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel [the people of His promise, those who receive Him].

Isaiah 13
11 And I will punish [paqad – as the Chief Overseer] the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man [My presence manifested in the flesh] more precious than fine gold; even a man [in whom are My treasures from heaven] than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war, and commander in chief of the army of heaven], and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 And it shall be as the chased [corrected away from their misleaders] roe [‘tsbiy – My glory in My army, the risen ONE BODY of Christ], and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them [these misleaders at the head of the corrupt body, the army of Babylon] shall fall by the sword [this word of God they reject].
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.
19 And Babylon [the confusion that now rules the world], the glory [tsbiy] of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency [their deceptions, the delusions they teach so none who follow them know truth or reality], shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

Isaiah 23
8 Who has taken this counsel against Tyre [the false rock, the false Christs, in whom people put their trust], the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?
9 The LORD of hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory [tsbiy], and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

Isaiah 24
14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
15 Wherefore glorify you the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory [tsbiy] to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon you, O inhabitants of the earth

Isaiah 4
1 And in that day seven women [the ONE BODY of Christ] shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel [still wanting to keep their own words and ways, their own righteousness]: only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach.
2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be [hayah – become] beautiful [tsbiy] and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left [not taken away by the flood of men’s lies] in Zion, and he that remains in [new heavenly] Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4 When the LORD shall have washed away the filth [corruption] of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defense.

The final three times Isaiah uses the word tsbiy are in Isaiah 28, as the LORD in Isaiah speaks to the “drunkards of Ephraim,” which we know refers to those leading Joseph’s seed, all God’s people of the promise, in this generation. They are the same He, in Jeremiah, speaks of in Jeremiah 31, as those corrected and returned to their right mind, by the New Covenant, when He, here and now, writes this law into the minds of His people, and all know Him.

Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride [the incorrigible in power], to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious [tsbiy] beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
2 Behold, the LORD has a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
4 And the glorious [tsbiy] beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looks upon it sees, while it is yet in his hand he eats it up.
5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory [tsbiy], and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate [opening the gates of hell].
7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they [the hasty] are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine [shmuw’ah]? them that are weaned from the milk [receiving the foundational element of truth, have advanced in understanding, into perfection], and drawn [now draw] from the breasts [of the Ancient of Days – as we know, the word here rendered “drawn” is ‘attiyq, only appearing elsewhere in 1 Chronicles 4:22, where it speaks of the “ancient” things, the work of those that dwelt with the king].
10 For [as here] precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue [the truth: a foreign language to those who only know corruption] will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they [refused and] would not hear.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste [shall not be taken away with the flood of men’s lying words, the shame that comes upon those who refuse this rest and refreshing].
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and [the] righteousness [of God] to the plummet [against which your righteousness shall be judged]: and the hail [the word frozen in heaven, reserved there for this moment] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters [His word from heaven] shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell [sheol] shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge [showt] shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you [in its snare]: for morning by morning shall it pass over [‘abar – bringing the Passover from death into life for those who receive it as His word], by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – only to understand it is the voice of Jehovah manifesting His presence to those who receive Him].

Jeremiah 31
17 And there is hope in your end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness], says the LORD, that your children shall come again to their own border.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, says the LORD.
21 Set you up waymarks, make you high heaps: set your heart toward the highway, even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
22 How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass [full circle, from a child to] a man.
23 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless you, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.

31 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they break, although I was a husband unto them, says the LORD:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, says the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

The name Bether only appears once, in the title verse, and is from the three times used word bether, which tells us it is the time of Abram’s (Abraham’s) deep sleep. It describes the “pieces,” beginning to end, of the LORD’s people sacrificing throughout history, His faithful in and through whom He spoke and worked to bring humanity to this time of its resurrection (rescue) from death’s hold.

Genesis 15
5 And he brought him forth abroad [chuwts – meaning to sever, speaking of the two sides, pieces, of the sacrifice], and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if you be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall your seed be [as it is this day on the other side].
6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought you out of Ur [the fire] of the Chaldees [those who use their words to manipulate and control people into doing their evil they call good], to give you this land to inherit it.
8 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9 And he said unto him, Take me a heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece [bether] one against another: but the birds divided he not.
11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that your seed shall be a stranger in a land [‘erets – in the earth] that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years [the time of the LORD restoring order to the earth];
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 And you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites [those who exalt their words above God’s] is not yet full.
17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun [understanding] went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp [the LORD always with us, guiding us to this time] that passed between those pieces.
18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto your seed have I given this land [‘erets – the earth], from the river of Egypt [the words of tyrants that oppress the world into now total darkness] unto the great river, the river Euphrates [the fruitful words of the LORD that now flow to all as the sunrise]:

John 6
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea [the sleep of God’s people], they said unto him, Rabbi [Teacher], when came you here?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say unto you, You seek me, not because you saw [understood] the miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves [the complete exposition], and were filled.
27 Labor not for the meat [deep understanding] which perishes [in the hands of men], but for that meat which endures unto [this revelation into] everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for [in] him has God the Father sealed [it].
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign show you then, that we may see, and believe you? what do you work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread [this word of God] from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which comes down from heaven, and gives life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, LORD, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That you also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father’s will which has sent me, that of all which he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day [this ‘achariyth].
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he says, I came down from heaven?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes unto me.

Isaiah 54
13 And all your children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of your children.
14 In righteousness shall you be established: you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near you.
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against you shall fall for your sake.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17 No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, says the LORD.

Psalms 81
1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed [kece’ – this is the LORD’s return to His house; only used one other time], on our solemn feast day.
4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
7 You called in trouble [tsarah – this tribulation], and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder [My voice from heaven, giving understanding]: I proved you at the waters of Meribah [strife]. Selah.
8 Hear [shama’ -obey], O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Israel, if you will hearken [shama’] unto me;
9 There shall no strange god be in you; neither shall you worship any strange god.
10 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 But my people would not hearken [shama’] to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened [shama’] unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
14 I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15 The haters of the LORD would have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured forever.
16 He would have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied you.

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

7 – 10 October 2023

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

The word, above in Isaiah 53:11, rendered “travail” is ‘amal, meaning “toil, i.e. wearing effort; hence, worry, whether of body or mind.” In Isaiah’s other two uses of it, in context, we understand it is speaking of the work, giving knowledge, that is resisted and opposed by the ignorance and prejudice that are the status quo. It speaks of our time, this generation in a time ruled by unrighteous decree: intentional demoralization that perverts law to punishes the innocent (law abiding) while absolving the lawless (the knowledge of the day that calls good evil and evil good).

Isaiah 10
1 Woe unto them that decree [chaqaq] unrighteous decrees [chaqaq], and that write [kathab] grievousness [‘amal] which they have prescribed [kathab];
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! [When there is no man {able} to protect and defend against these corrupt powers.]
3 And what will you do in the day of visitation [pquddah – when the LORD makes His presence known as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to rescue those without power], and in the desolation which shall come from far [merchaq – in this appointed time the LORD decreed]? to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory [which is your shame]?
4 Without me they [those that refuse this good prescription] shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 O Assyrian [communists in power], the rod [injustice] of my anger, and the staff [misleading] in their hand is my indignation [za’am].
6 I will send him [as the consequence of their neglect and vacating My good] against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

The word rendered “hypocritical,” speaking of this nation and time, is chaneph, also only appearing twice elsewhere in Isaiah, meaning “soiled (i.e. with sin), impious.” It is understood in the sense of previous discussions of the dirt picked up in the journey, which (corruption) needs to be washed from the feet of the travelers.

Isaiah 9
13 For the people turn not unto him that smite them [with the rod and staff of the communists], neither do they seek the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war].
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
15 The ancient and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail.
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them [without My knowledge] are destroyed.
17 Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for everyone is an hypocrite [chaneph – soiled by the corruption they have been misled into] and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burns as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns [deceivers and misleaders that have overgrown My garden I left in the hand of those charged with protecting and defending it against corruption], and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest [where these misleader congregate], and they shall mount [be remove from their positions of trust] up like the lifting up of smoke.
19 Through the wrath [the warned consequence of rejecting this word] of the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war, the champion of the good fight] is the land [‘erets – the earth is] darkened [become totally ignorant], and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

Isaiah 33
2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for you: be you their arm [might – strength] every morning, our salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh] also in the time of trouble [tsarah – this time of tribulation].
3 At the noise [qowl – the voice] of the tumult [hamown – Your multitude] the people fled; at the lifting up of yourself the nations [gowy – those who haven’t known You] were scattered.
4 And your spoil [you recovered from those who spoiled us] shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar [until nothing remains in their hands]: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he [in His multitude] run upon them.
5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 And [His] wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability [‘emuwn – meaning “literally firmness; figuratively security; morally fidelity”] of your times, and strength of salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh]: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors [mal’ak – the messengers: leviathan {the priesthood} of Isaiah 27:1, from who should be heard the highways, who will make peace with Me] of peace shall weep bitterly.
8 The highways [the ancient wisdom and knowledge] lie waste, the wayfaring man ceases: he has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he regards no man.
9 The earth mourns [its own desolation] and languishes [‘amal – waxes feeble]: Lebanon [where purity should be seen om high] is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon [what is in plain sight] is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel [what was a fruitful garden] shakes off their fruits.
10 Now will I rise, says the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 You shall conceive chaff, you shall bring forth stubble: your breath [the evil spirit in you that produces worthlessness], as fire, shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns [misleaders] cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Hear [shama’ – obey this good leading], you that are far off [rachowq. – you who find yourselves in this time when the world is ruled by evil decree, deadly prescriptions of perverse law meant to demoralize, confuse, and control those obeying them], what I have done; and, you that are near, acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has surprised [‘achaz] the hypocrites [chaneph – those whose minds are blinded by corruption]. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 He that walketh righteously, and speaks uprightly; he that despises the gain of oppressions, that shakes his hands from holding of bribes, that stops his ears from hearing of blood [the words of evil men meant to drain the life of those following their evil prescription], and shuts his eyes from seeing evil [as the way];
16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
17 Your eyes [being purified of corruption] shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off [merchaq – this appointed time the LORD decreed].

The word ‘achaz, above in verse 14, rendered “surprise,” means “to seize (often with the accessory idea of holding in possession).” It is the word first used in Genesis 22:13 to tell of the ram “caught” in the thicket by its horns. When the passage says Abraham beheld the ram “behind” him, the word is ‘achar, the origin of the ‘achariyth, both words used speaking these “last days:” the “after” life.

The word rendered ram is ‘ayil, meaning “strength; hence, anything strong; specifically a chief (politically); also a ram (from his strength); a pilaster (as a strong support); an oak or other strong tree.”

Genesis 22
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind [‘achar – in these last days] him a ram [‘ayil – the might men of Moab, the Medes and Persians] caught [‘achaz – surprised] in a thicket [cbak] by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

The following, ending with Colossians 3, is from the post of 24 May 2023, with today’s additions in double brackets.

Genesis 32
22 And he [Jacob] rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two women servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over [‘abar] the ford [ma’abar – this Passover] Jabbok [the emptiness].
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a Man [the LORD – unknown as His people wrestle with His word and work] with him until the breaking of the day [until the light appears: until they understood].
25 And when he saw that he prevailed [this is referring to when Rachel and Leah wrestled with each other and Rachel prevailed in the birth of Naphtali through her maid Bilhah {trouble}, the same women Reuben (Leah’s son) went up to and took His father’s place, for which Rachel’s child {Joseph} was given his birthright] not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh [these words speak of his power to procreate] was out of joint [yaqa’ – hanged on a tree: dislocated in the crucifixion of Christ], as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks [and understanding is coming]. And he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me [this is the blessing Jacob spoke of Joseph that would be upon Ephraim {Genesis 48:13 thru 20}, of which Jacob defined further {in Genesis 49:22 thru 26} as he told his children what shall befall them in these last days {‘achariyth} – the last child there spoken of is Benjamin {the son that is at God’s right hand, born in due time after the Passover}, saying he “shall raven [tear in pieces] as a wolf: in the morning {when understanding has come and He is born again} he shall devour the prey, and at night {in this time when darkness covers the earth} he shall divide the spoil.”] .
27 And he said unto him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince have you power with God and with men, and have prevailed [to Passover Jabbok].
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray you, your name [this man with a name that no man knows, the son only the Father knows and those to whom He will reveal him, is the same John speaks of in Revelation 19, whose name is written on his vesture and thigh]. And he said, Wherefore is it that you do ask after my name? And he blessed him there [saying He will bless the seed of Joseph with this deep understanding when he is thereby crowned with The LORD’s glory] .
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel [the face, paniym, presence of ‘el: God]: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 And as he passed over Penuel [by the presence of God with us] the sun [understanding of this new day] rose upon him, and he halted [tsala’ – only used three other times describing whom it speaks of, meaning they wander off course] upon his thigh [when their power was lost through the internal bickering that separated the family].
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank [these words refer to Gad {giyd – sinew} that forgot {the LORD} – neshah {shrank} from nashah, describing the troop that is {in forgetfulness} overcome but shall overcome at the last {‘aqeb}, after Dan has bitten at the horse heels {aqeb}, and the rider has fallen backward {‘achowr}], which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.

Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
2 And he put the handmaids [the bondwomen] and their children foremost [ri’shown – the former house], and Leah and her children after [‘acharown – in these last days, the sleeping dead], and Rachel and Joseph hindermost [‘acharown – the living].
3 And he passed over before [paniym – God’s presence with] them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 And Esau [brethren who before were our enemies, are now by the same grace of God changed] ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with you? And he said, The children which God has graciously given your servant [I and the children the LORD has given, are for signs of the end reached].
6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after [‘achar] came Joseph near and Rachel [journeying to Raeford, where she has ford the brook], and they bowed themselves.

This pattern sent for our realization: the change in Esau, is like the change in Saul, when it is said he will become a different man (called Benjamin), those born again after our passing over Jabbok.

In 1 Samuel 9 & 10, this pattern is seen when Samuel (hearing God – Shmuw’el) speaks what He heard, to Saul, who, when he hears (it is God’s voice) and speaks, is with Samuel called a Prophet.

1 Samuel 9
9 (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer [ra’ah]: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer [ra’ah].)

Saul goes to Samuel because he is said to be looking for his father’s asses that were lost. It is his father (Kish – from the once-used, in Isaiah 29:21, word qowsh, meaning to set a trap) who, for this purpose (setting the trap, to find the asses, in a time when all sight is gone, and in the darkness people can’t even find their own asses) sent him on this search.

Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel [the Lion of God – the strength {understanding} of God, here taken and controlled by the wicked], to Ariel, the city where David [the lion of Judah] dwelt! add you year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel [it will again be My strength].
3 And I [as a man of war] will camp against you round about, and will lay siege against you with a mount, and I will raise forts against you.
4 And you shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust [as the voice of the serpent from the ruin of the earth], and your voice shall be, as of one that has a familiar spirit [of the known dead speaking words of death], out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Moreover the multitude of your strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6 You shall be visited [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the Earth] of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition [matsowd – her munitions are the net with which they catch those who are without the root, foundation, of righteousness], and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakens, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion [when they awaken and realize their own mind’s delusions deceived them and they have been emptied of all understanding].
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder [not knowing what you are experiencing]; cry you out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep [with no signs of life], and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers [ra’ah – those who see as God sees] has he covered [kacah].
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book [cepher] that is sealed [chatham], which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed [chatham]:
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 [the foundations of their mind – their stiocheion is corrupt] 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 [eye opening] work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder [pele’ – at which all have wondered]: 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 [wicked] counsel [‘etsah] from the LORD, and their works are in the dark [their own ignorance of reality and truth they can’t understand because it is as a foreign language], and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down [the overthrow] shall be esteemed as the potter’s [yatsar] clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed [yatser] say of him that framed [yatsar] it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon [purity seen in high places] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words [this word] of the book [cepher], and the eyes of the blind shall see [again] out of obscurity, and out of darkness [by coming out of ignorance].
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed [padah] Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale [but they will reach the end promised].
23 But when he sees his children [who have been born again out of death and hell], the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name [declare My identity Holy], and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

Hosea 13
14 I will ransom [padah] them from the power of the grave [sh’owl, Sheol]; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be your plagues; O grave [Sheol – hell], I will be your destruction: repentance shall be hid from my eyes [nocham cathar ‘ayin – this comfort, restoring things and matter concealed shall come as this fountain of living waters].

In Genesis 22:4 we are told of Abraham, on the third (resurrection) day, seeing (ra’ah) the place “far off,” using the word rachowq, meaning “remote, literally or figuratively, of place or time; specifically, precious.” The statement comes while describing the LORD as Jehovah-jireh (Jehovah sees – everything) to Abraham, after he sees as the LORD does and obeys His voice.

Genesis 22
15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, says the LORD, for because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son:
17 That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate [of hell] of his enemies;
18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed my voice.
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba [the well of seven oaths – the promises flowing from the Father].

The word rendered “possess” in verse 17 above is yarash, meaning “to occupy (by driving out previous tenants, and possessing in their place); by implication, to seize, to rob, to inherit; also to expel, to impoverish, to ruin.” It’s used to describe the seducers who possess and control the goodman’s house and of our (I and the children God has given me) inheriting it with the land (America) and earth.

Hebrews 11
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, OBEYED; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that [by our obedience] they without us should not be made perfect [all of us together, resurrected in ONE BODY in the Father’s presence].

1 Samuel 9
26 And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul [the one desired] to the top of the house [away from the trouble within], saying, Up, that I may send you away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad [chuwts – outside the corrupt houses].
27 And as they were going down [into the depths of hell] to the end [of the earth] of the city [named Sheol], Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant [your children] pass on [‘abar – Passover] before [into the presence of God with] us, (and he passed on [‘abar – passed over Jabbok first]), but [there] stand you still a while [yowm – in this appointed day], that I may show you [shama’ – to obey] the word of God.

1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD has anointed you to be captain [nagiyd – commander of His army] over his inheritance?
2 When you are departed from me to [that] day, then you shall find two men [Judah and Ephraim] by Rachel’s [journeyer’s – the pilgrims spoken of in Hebrews 11:13, who are seeking this city where we’ve arrived] sepulcher [place of burial] in the border of [the limit, where is born again] Benjamin at Zelzah [tseltsach – when the darkness is clearly understood]; and they will say unto you, The asses which you went to seek are found [when you, the lost, are again able to find your own asses in the darkness]: and, lo, your father has left the care of the asses [[Israel and Judah]], and sorrows for you, saying, What shall I do for my son [make him {the prodigal} a feast]?
3 Then shall you go on forward from thence, and you shall come to the plain of Tabor [you shall clearly see the mountain of God], and there shall meet you three men going up [rising] to God to Bethel [into the house, Family, of God], [for the feast celebrating the men found] one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
4 And they will salute you, and give you two loaves of bread [giving this word of God they have received]; which you shall receive of their hands.
5 After that you shall come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines [the stronghold of the invading army]: and it shall come to pass, when you are come thither to the city [whose builder and maker is God], that you shall meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place [the mountain (hill) of God] with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before [paniym – playing the songs the LORD has given] them; and they shall prophesy [repeating His word as received]:
6 And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you shall prophesy with them [all repeating this word as received], and shall be turned into another [‘acher] man [becoming a new creation, ONE BODY in the LORD’s presence].
7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto you, that you do [‘asha – make, manifest God with you] as occasion serve you; for God is with you.

Acts 13
6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos [now when the waters are boiling hot], they found a certain sorcerer [a self-described so-called wise man], a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus [son of Jesus]:
7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius [wondering] Paulus [about this little man Paul], a prudent man; who called for Barnabas [son of rest] and Saul [desired], and desired to hear the word of God.
8 But Elymas [wizard – a self-proclaimed “expert”] the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9 Then Saul [from whom he desired to hear the word of God], (who also [after his change] is called Paul [a little man, in obscurity, by whose wisdom the city is delivered]) filled with the Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown in him speaking and working], set his eyes on him.
10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, you child of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the LORD?
11 And now, behold, the hand of the LORD is upon you, and you [false prophets and antichrists] shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and [his word appeared as] a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the LORD.

38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man declares it unto you.

Acts 17
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 the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the LORD, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
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.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent:
31 Because he has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again of this matter.

Psalms 40
A Psalm of David
1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is that man that makes the LORD his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; my ears have you opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8 I delight to do your will, O my God: yea, your law is within my heart.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, you know.
10 I have not hid your righteousness within my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation: I have not concealed your lovingkindness and your truth from the great congregation.
11 Withhold not you your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let your lovingkindness and your truth continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart fails me.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
16 Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
17 But I am poor and needy; yet the LORD thinketh upon me: you are my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

Friends, men will and do mock us for confessing the LORD’s presence with us and through us working and speaking. But, as we know, the shame shall be theirs when He appears.

Colossians 3
1 If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.

The three words, ‘achaz, ‘achar, and ‘ayil, appear in Exodus 15 where they speak of the mighty upon which the surprise comes, when they find themselves as the rams caught in the thicket.

Exodus 15
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider has he thrown into the sea.
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host has he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Your right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: your right hand, O LORD, has dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of your excellency you have overthrown them that rose up against you: you sent forth your wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart [the mind] of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 You did blow with your wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto you, O LORD, among the gods? who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 You in your mercy have led forth the people which you have redeemed: you have guided them in your strength unto your holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear [shama’], and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold [‘achaz] on the inhabitants of Palestina [the Palestine, the Philistines, the army of invaders].
15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men [‘ayil – the ram] of Moab [those whose mouths are the gates holding the world in death and hell], trembling shall take hold [‘achaz] upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm they shall be as still as a stone; till your people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which you have purchased.
17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which you have made for you to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which your hands have established.
18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing you to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider has he thrown into the sea.
22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur [the “wall” of lies]; and they went three days [waiting for the resurrection] in the wilderness, and found no water [no word of God].
23 And when they came to Marah [bitterness], they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter [mar]: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him [yara’ – taught him of] a tree [of life], which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet [mathaq – a five times used word that speaks of counsel, here referring to the LORD’s refused until this time when the tree of life is cast into the sea, to the people at large who, in bitterness, wait for this moment]: there he made for them a statute [choq] and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
26 And said, If you will diligently hearken [shama’ – obey] to the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in his sight, and will give ear [‘azan – pay close attention] to his commandments, and keep all his statutes [choq], I will put none of these diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that heals [rapha’] you.
27 And they came to Elim [‘ayil – the place of the ram, overcoming those whose mouth, their evil counsel opposing and resisting the LORD’s anointed, are the gate of hell that must be Exodused], where were twelve wells of water [governmental perfection], and threescore and ten palm trees [the resurrection that comes with ending the causes of the desolation, ending the abominations put in God’s place, the evil counsel that replaces His good]: and they encamped there by the waters.

In the title verse, Isaiah 53:11, the “travail” with which the LORD is satisfied (says it’s enough), the “grievousness” prescribed by the wicked, the ‘amal, is the “sorrow” of Psalms 55:10.

Proverbs 5
1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow [subordinate] your ear [what you have before heard] to my understanding:
2 That you mayest regard discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge.
3 For the lips of a strange woman [the words heard from the unfaithful] drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 But her end [‘achariyth – in these last days] is bitter [mar] as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6 Lest you shouldest ponder the path of life, her [the unfaithful who’ve left the LORD and gone into darkness] ways are moveable, that you can not know them.
7 Hear [shama’ – obey] me now therefore, O you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

Psalms 55
1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not yourself from my supplication.
2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove [and knew the signs of the end]! for then would I fly away [in full understanding: in heaven], and be at rest.
7 Lo, then would I [did blindly] wander far off [rachaq – into this time when the earth is ruled by evil decree], and remain in the wilderness [desolation]. Selah.
8 I would hasten my escape [exodus] from the windy storm and tempest.
9 Destroy, O LORD, and divide their tongues [which are the gates of hell]: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof [the lies in which the trust]: mischief also and sorrow [‘amal] are in the midst of it.
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 But it was you, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance.
14 We took sweet [mathaq] counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
18 He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abides of old. Selah. Because they have no changes [chaliyphah], therefore they fear not God.
20 He has put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he has broken his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
22 Cast your burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain you: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 But you, O God, shall bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in you.

Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? will you be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?

3 – 6 October 2023

Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? will you be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?

The above, Jeremiah 15:18, is Jeremiah speaking to the LORD. The verse comes just after Jeremiah mentions finding the LORD’s word, which he joyfully ate. The verse is filled with cryptic allusions to its meaning, which we find, by the LORD’s leading, when we explore the distinct words therein appearing.

The “pain” that is said to be perpetual is from the six times us word k’eb. The word saying it’s “incurable” is ‘anash, a word discussed in the previous post (describing the mind of man as “desperately wicked” and later speaking of the “woeful” day, from Jeremiah 17:9 & 16, respectively).

Jeremiah 17
5 Thus says the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD.
6 For he shall be like the heath [a tree stripped of protection against the elements] in the desert, and shall not see when good comes; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land [where nothing grows from the earth] and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man that trusts in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked [‘anash – the “woeful” day spoken of in verse 16 below]: who can know it?
10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
11 As the partridge sits on eggs, and hatches them not; so he that gets riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end 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 [impatiently, presumptuously, going before you led me] to follow you: neither have I desired the woeful [‘anash – desperately wicked] day; you know: that which came out of my lips was right before you [nokach – only here in Jeremiah, meaning not against].
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 the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

Jeremiah’s words, in verse 16 above, saying he hasn’t spoken against the LORD, seem contradicted in the title verse when he asks the LORD if He is a liar whose words fail. The meaning is clarified when we, in the context it’s a pain that “refuses to be healed [rapha’],” examine the twice used word rendered “liar,” ‘akzab, meaning “from 3576 [kazab]; falsehood; by implication treachery:–liar, lie.”

The only other time ‘akzab appears is in Micah 1:14, where, in the translated names, we understand it is speaking of what held (holds) all the kings (of God’s People) in blind darkness. In this context, we realize Jeremiah is asking if he is held incurably in the same blind darkness, by refusing the cure (the living waters, the word he found): which (cure) is the LORD’s command to speak the word (he found).

Jeremiah is sent (with the word found) to the people he is to raise to life, by the LORD rising in him, then in them, by His word. They (the leaders drunken with power) refuse the cure sent, which is them failing the grace of God, as spoken of in Hebrew 12:15, which tells us it is them rejecting its correction and thereby (choosing to remain in darkness) remain illegitimate children.

Friends, I tell very boldly and plainly, salvation comes only to those who confess the LORD is present, and then speaking this, His word from their mouth, He manifests Himself to the world in need.

It’s a simple message, good tidings, here published. It is this command, the right way, the righteousness of God manifested by faith, to which God’s people, those who become His children, submit. This (subordinating your will to His in this manner) is what Paul, the LORD alive in him working and speaking, is saying in Romans 10:3. The word there rendered “submitted” is said to be hupotasso, from the two words, hupo (meaning under or to place beneath) and tasso (meaning to arrange in an orderly manner).

Per the previous post, in the original text (of Romans 10:3), the word appears as hupetagesan, which is the Greek word age (to be led and to lead) inserted into (joined in the midst of) the word tasso. The word (hupetagesan) speaks of the LORD’s Spirit working unknown among those led by Him into all truth, and, in context, they (going about to prove themselves right) fail to receive the cure and don’t return from death and hell.

Hebrews 12
8 But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards [nothos – only appearing here, meaning “a spurious or illegitimate son”], and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection [hupotasso] unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they truly for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he [the Father of spirits who brought us to life from the dead] for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness [the purity by which only do we see Him who is unseen].
11 Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness [His right way] unto them which are exercised [from whom corruption is worked out] thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet [on the course the LORD has set before us], lest that which is lame [prone to stray] be turned out of the [right] way; but let it rather be healed [cured by the One able to cure the incurable].
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the LORD:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of [by refusing to hear and obey] the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright [this promised new life].
17 For you know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
18 For you are not [as those who refuse this word of God have] come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest [the storm caused by remaining in ignorance of God’s righteousness],
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated [paraiteomai – refused] that the word [of God giving understanding] should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast [refusing and therefore with the LORD’s Spirit] touch the mountain [of God], it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you [who’ve received Him and His correction] are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [messengers receiving and delivering His message, publishing His good tidings],
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect [come to life in His presence],
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling [His sacrificing to deliver this message, as the sunrise upon all], that speak better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [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 [that the wicked and their corruption are shaken from them and they, heaven and earth, are born again].
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 [of God, heaven on the earth] which cannot be moved, let us have [not refusing] grace [this free gift of His treasures], whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Romans 10
1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is [all His chosen family at large, those who receive this promised end], that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of [in darkness not knowing] God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness [trying to prove their corrupt ways are the right way], have not submitted themselves [hupotasso] unto the righteousness [the right way] of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believes.
5 For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law [without understanding], That the man which does those things [with understanding] shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speak on this wise, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above [to give us understanding]:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead [to give us again understanding].)
8 But what says it? The word is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart [mind]: that is, the word of faith [that word, understanding, received is the LORD’s], which we preach;
9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus [Jehovah’s salvation manifested in the flesh He chooses], and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him [He has chosen to dwell in] from the dead, you shall be saved.
10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. [I confess Jesus Christ is One God alive in my flesh!]
11 For the scripture says [in Isaiah 28:16], Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed [shall reach this expected end, our hope realized].
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same LORD over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For [Joel 2:32 says] whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written [in Isaiah 52:7], How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah [53:1] says, LORD, who has believed our report [in Hebrew “report” is from the many times discussed word shmuw’ah {shama’ Yah}, meaning heard and obeyed what is reported as the word of Jehovah, as it is, His sound “doctrine” He is teaching, as in Isaiah 28:9, asking “Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine {shmuw’ah – His report}?”]?
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by [receiving report, the preaching, as] the word of God.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes truly, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends [ending the old and beginning the new] of the world.
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20 But Isaiah [in Isaiah 65:1 & 2] is very bold, and says, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21 But to Israel he says, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying [antilego – opposing His rightly ordered discourse] people [of who Isaiah 65:5 says they haven’t found Him because they, those choosing to remain among the dead, are saying they are holier than Him; of whom He says they are like smoke in His nose, meaning to be fanned away by His hand].

Isaiah 28
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine [shmuw’ah]? them that are weaned from the milk [receiving the foundational element of truth, have advanced in understanding, into perfection], and drawn [now draw] from the breasts [of the Ancient of Days – as we know, the word here rendered “drawn” is ‘attiyq, only appearing elsewhere in 1 Chronicles 4:22, where it speaks of the “ancient” things, the work of those that dwelt with the king].
10 For [as here] precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue [the truth: a foreign language to those who only know corruption] will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they [refused and] would not hear.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste [shall not be taken away with the flood of men’s lying words, the shame that comes upon those who refuse this rest and refreshing].
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and [the] righteousness [of God] to the plummet [against which your righteousness shall be judged]: and the hail [the word frozen in heaven, reserved there for this moment] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters [His word from heaven] shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell [sheol] shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge [showt] shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you [in its snare]: for morning by morning shall it pass over [‘abar – the bringing the Passover from death into life for those who receive it as His word], by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – only to understand it is the voice of Jehovah manifesting His presence to those who receive Him].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a man [sleeping in death] can stretch himself on it: and the covering [of lies and falsehood] narrower than that he can wrap [hide] himself in it.
21 For the LORD [Jehovah] shall rise up as in mount Perazim [2 Samuel 5:20 – as water from His throne, breaking forth upon His and David’s enemies], he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon [Joshua 10:10 & 11 – His word reserved {frozen} in heaven, sent as great hailstones upon the wicked: the current corrupt crop sitting in power], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange [known to no one except Him] act.
22 Now therefore be you not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD GOD [‘Adonay Jehovih – KING of kings and LORD of lords], of hosts [a man of war and Commander, Chief, of the armies of heaven] a consumption [kalah – a full end, as in Daniel 9:27], even determined [charats – decreed, as in Joshua 10:21 saying “And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua {Jesus} at Makkedah {as one flock under one shepherd} in peace: none moved {charats} his tongue against any of the children of Israel.” And 2 Samiel 5:24, the LORD saying to David, “And let it be, when you hear {shama’ – obey} the sound {qowl – the voice} of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees {baka’, from which come bkowr – telling us this is the voice of the “firstborn”}, that then you shall bestir yourself: for then shall the LORD go out before {paniym – His presence will be manifested with, in} you, to smite the host of the Philistines {the enemy army now mixed among you}.”] upon the whole earth.
23 Give you ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

Joel 2
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly [call the ONE BODY, His army, to muster to Him]:
16 Gather the people, sanctify [declare holy and pure] the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts [of the Ancient of Days]: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet [chuppah – the veil that protects her; only appearing elsewhere in Psalms 19:5, where it the chamber out of which also comes the bridegroom; and Isaiah 4:5 where it is His glory as our defense].
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar [where they killed the prophets and wise men the LORD sent to rebuke them for their straying from His path], and let them say, Spare your people, O LORD, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18 Then will the LORD be jealous [qana’ – zealous] for his land [‘ertes – His earth], and pity his people.
19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied therewith [this feast, from which you will receive My strength and rise]: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20 But I will remove far off [rachaq – the evil men have decreed against you] from you the northern army [by the army of darkness], and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea [force them into the light of the sunrising upon His people at large], and his hinder part toward the utmost sea [his end shall come in this generation in these last days], and his stink shall come up [their rottenness shall be perceived by all], and his ill savor [the corruption of the words in their mouth] shall come up, because he has done great things [gadal – been successful in destroying all by their policy of deception].
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things [gadal – shall have the final success in restoring what they destroyed].
22 Be not afraid, you beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring [with new life], for the tree [of life] bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine [My people connected to MY root] do yield their strength [understanding, which is light and life].
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month [of His new creation].
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust [men who’ve destroy the earth] has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you [to awaken you to the consequences of your neglect].
26 And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that has dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed [because they will realized this is the promised, and therefore expected, end].
27 And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel [the people of the promise, who are corrected and become My sons and daughters], and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward [after the remnant is awakened, through them], that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Isaiah 4
1 And in that day seven women [the ONE BODY of Christ, the church universal] shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach.
2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remains in Jerusalem [those that aren’t taken away by the flood of men’s lies], shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4 When the LORD shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory [upon those in who the LORD manifests His presence] shall be a defense [chappah].
6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.

Micah 1
2 Hear, all you people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the LORD God be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.
3 For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place [His chamber], and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria [Democrats, confederate with foreign communists]? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem [Republicans, the remnant of the republic]?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
7 And all the graven images [the idols they created, put in My place, and call by My name] thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire [by the crumbs your masters feed you after they stole them, taxed it away, from your neighbors] of a harlot, and they shall return to the hire of a harlot.
8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked [My arm is uncovered before the eyes of the world]: I will make a wailing like the dragons [tannah – like serpents and whales, devouring with {the words from} their wide open mouths], and mourning as the owls [those who hunt their prey {souls} in the darkness].
9 For her wound is incurable [‘anash – because they refuse the cure, hearing this word as the word from the mouth of the LORD, and, therefore, will not speak it as commanded]; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate [between heaven and hell] of my people, even to Jerusalem [the remnant of My people].
10 Declare you it not at Gath [among My army], weep you not at all [show you no remorse for refusing to declare it]: in the house of Aphrah [wallowing in the ashes of the earth’s ruin] roll yourself in the dust [‘aphar – thinking you can therein hide].
11 Pass you away [‘abar – Passover from death into life by declaring My word], you inhabitant of Saphir [only appearing here, from the word shaphar, only appearing in Psalms 16:6, rendered “goodly,” saying “The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.”], having your shame naked [not reaching death you sought]: the inhabitant of Zaanan [my wandering flock] came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel [the remorse, now, in the house of tsel, your shadow, your soul unaware here in death’s sleep]; he [the risen LORD] shall receive [laqash – take, receive, you] of you his standing [’emdah – said to mean domicile: a dwelling place, only appearing here, from the word ‘amad, meaning to stand, and Yah, Jehovah; it is speaking the LORD, our heritage, rising in us to here raise us to stand in life] .
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth [only appearing here, meaning they are held in the bitterness of their own words] waited carefully for good: but evil came down from [their own bitterness came against] the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem [between heaven and hell].
13 O you inhabitant of Lachish [who, in your pride think yourself invincible], bind the chariot to the swift beast [the falsehood and lies that carry those without My Spirit]: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in you [in the word of the LORD found].
14 Therefore shall you give presents [shilluwach – the crumbs you’ve stolen] to Moreshethgath [the bitter army you thereby possess {yaresh}]: the houses of Achzib [the same as ‘akzab] shall be a lie [‘akzab] to the kings of Israel [causing them to be held in darkness].
15 Yet will I bring an heir [yaresh – who will seize these possessions from you} unto you, O inhabitant of Mareshah [who now have dominion]: he [the LORD in me} shall come unto Adullam [as justice for God’s people] the glory of Israel [the LORD presence revealed in the family of His promise].

Psalms 16
1 Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.
2 O my soul [the immortal person in my flesh], you have said unto the LORD [Jehovah], “You are my LORD [said to be ‘Adonay {King of king}, out of ignorance changed from Jehovah in the most ancient texts]: my goodness [you are the goodness in me] extends not to you [is not something you need];
3 But to the saints [in need] that are in the earth, and to the excellent [‘addiyr – those in whom Your might appears], in whom is all my delight [my joy when they realized You are present in us].”
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names [their evil words that identify them] into my lips.
5 The LORD [alive in me] is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup [the life I drink]: you maintain my lot [this destiny you decreed for those who have faith in You].
6 The lines [from past to this present moment] are fallen unto me in pleasant [na’iym – the same word used in verse 11, appearing thirteen times total, and referring us to its appearance in Job 36:11, see below] places; yea, I have a goodly [shaphar] heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night season [this time when ignorance covers the earth in darkness].
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is [present] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope [knowing the inner man is immortal].
10 For you will not leave my [immortal] soul in hell [sheol]; neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption [that darkens the minds of the ignorant who choose death, and never awaken into life because their deeds are evil].
11 You will show me the path of life: in your presence [paniym] is fulness of joy [the realization of this reality]; at your right hand [from where comes you might] there are pleasures [na’iym] for evermore.

Job 36
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, 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 corrupot 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 open 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 of His judgment], the cattle [His flock upon whom it is sent] also concerning the vapor [its leaving into and returning from the cloud where this understanding was held and protected].

As we know, the ending verses of Psalms 16 are quoted by the LORD speaking through Peter and Paul, respectively, in context, as He now also speaks, in Acts 2:25 – 28 & 13:35.

Acts 2
22 You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25 For David speaks [in Psalms 16] concerning him, I foresaw the LORD [alive, present with me] always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Therefore did my heart [my understanding mind] rejoice, and my tongue was glad [this refers to what David says in 2 Samuel 23, saying: 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 understand that brings the new day}, when the sun rises, even a morning without clouds {as new beginning when full understand has from there returned to cover the earth}; as the tender grass springing} new life where before there was none} out of the earth by clear shining after rain.]; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope [that with Him I live forever]:
27 Because you will not leave my soul in hell [but from there in death will you resurrect me], neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life; you shall make me full of joy with your countenance [presence].
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus has God raised up, whereof we all are [this day] witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand [the power that effectually works to bring dead flesh to life] of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear [in the flesh of those He raises to life with His rising in them].
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he says himself, The LORD [Jehovah] said unto my LORD [‘adown – David’s king, which we know refers to Joseph, through whose seed Shiloh comes in this ‘achariyth, the last days of which Jacob told His children – Genesis 49], Sit you on my right hand,
35 Until I make your foes your footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made the same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both LORD and Christ.
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart [these thing pierced their ears and entered into their minds], and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name [the identity of the One working and speaking among you] of Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh] for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift [these treasures of His understanding which will raise you to life as they effectually work in your mind] of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off [in these last days when the world is ruled by evil decree, as it now is], even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

The word “untoward” is the four times used Greek word skilios, meaning “warped, i.e. winding; figuratively, perverse.” It speaks of winding like a river’s bends, in the sense of not seeing what is around the next, referring to the effect on the minds (of the froward) twisting and perverting the truth. It (the LORD in it) speaks of this moment, this evil generation, while referring us to the word’s other uses: Luke 3:5, Philippians 2:15, and 1 Peter 2:18.

Before examining these passages, suffer me for a moment while I must digress: yesterday, I heard someone publicly, a caller on the most prominent daily broadcast, call for God’s people to pray for God’s wrath and the death of the wicked. The paradox is the ignorance of the self-righteous (the misleading of the misled), thinking they will escape it if it were to come. The end of the wicked is by their own hand, their own works returned upon them; not by the hand of God, Whose work is to save the wicked from themselves and free them from the devil, his working through misleaders who’ve taken and hold men captive in the darkness of their own minds.

Ezekiel 33
11 Say unto them, As I live, says the LORD God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
12 Therefore, you son of man, say unto the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sins.
13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he has committed, he shall die for it.
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 None of his sins that he has committed shall be mentioned unto him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17 Yet the children of your people say, The way of the LORD is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 Yet you say, The way of the LORD is not equal. O you house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
22 Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning [this morning – today is the day to open your mouths as He commands]; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
23 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land?

John 3
11 Truly, truly, I say unto you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen [have understood by the light, and become the light – Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid]; and you receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man has ascended up to heaven [into full understanding], but he that came down [received it] from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven [here with full understand I received].
14 And as Moses lifted up [exalted the voice of] the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up [as the city on the hills, His understanding in us]:
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 that causes men to perish], that light [understanding] is come into the world, and men loved darkness [ignorance] rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Luke 3
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah [40:3 – 5] the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the LORD, make his paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked [skilios] shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits [of your open mouths] worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones [who cry out while you remain silent] to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the [corrupt] trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Philippians 3
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 which is above every name:
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 is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh 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 [skilios] and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights [as the LORD’s 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 laboured 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 Timothy [D’Annunzio – the one sent to announce the LORD’s presence] shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state [when your obedience is perfected].
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.

1 Peter 2
15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward [skilios].
19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory is it, if, when you be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently [for Christ’s sake], this is acceptable with God.
21 For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile [deception] found in his mouth:
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judges righteously:
24 Who his own self bares our sins in his own body on the [corrupt] tree [dead wood, now cut down], that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.
25 For you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop [episkopos – Timothy, the one sent as the Chief Overseer] of your souls.

Acts 13
32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33 God has fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you.
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of [correction not destruction promised to the seed of] David.
35 Wherefore he says also in another psalm, You shall not suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 But he, whom God raised again [by correction from death into life], saw no corruption.
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man declares it unto you.

Jeremiah 18
15 O LORD, you know: remember me, and visit 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 [I Am Your manifested identity], 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 [your] indignation [za’am].
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable [‘anash], which refuses [your people reject the cure] to be healed [rapha’]? will you be altogether unto me as a liar [‘ akzab – the blindness the befell the kings before me], and as waters [of Your grace] that fail?
19 Therefore thus says the LORD, If you return [to Me], then will I bring you again, and you shall stand before me: and if you take forth [rightly divide] the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth [as David]: let them [the people] return [from blindness] unto you; but return not you unto them [to their corruption].
20 And I will make you unto this people a fenced brazen wall [as a serpent in whom My voice is exalted]: and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I Am with you [‘Im manuwn’ el – declaring you My son] 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.

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 [I Am], saying,
3 Let us break their bands [the law of nature] asunder, and cast away their cords [the law of God] from us.
4 He that sits in the heavens [the place of His strength: full understanding: Omnipotence] shall laugh [sachaq – at the foolishness they decree and call wisdom]: the LORD shall have them in derision [la’ag – mock them because of their ignorance of which they are willfully ignorant].
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king [I Am] upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare [announce] the decree [choq]: “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 [the law of nature and nature’s God]; you shall dash them [the old and fully corrupt] 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.

Psalms 19
1 The heavens [giving full understanding] declare the glory of God; and the firmament [the exposition, dividing the water {words} below from the waters {word of God} above] shows his handywork [the work of His hand].
2 Day unto day [the beginning of one age and the beginning of the next] utters speech, and night unto night [into the ignorance sending light] 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 [when the light of the new comes],
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber [chuppah], and rejoiceth as a strong man [see Luke 11:21 above] to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end [qatseh – beginning of understanding] of the heaven, and his circuit [here tquwphah – a full revolution of the sun, the earth going from light into darkness and again into light] unto the ends [qatsah – the cutting off the old {darkness}, beginning the new day] of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
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 [giving understanding to] 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.
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
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.

Then touched he their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it unto you.” And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

30 September – 2 October 2023

Then touched he their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it unto you.” And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

The Greek word above rendered “straightly charged” is said to be the five times used word embrimaomai, (dubiously) meaning “from 1722 and brimaomai (to snort with anger); to have indignation on, i.e. (transitively) to blame, (intransitively) to sigh with chagrin, (specially) to sternly enjoin:–straitly charge, groan, murmur against.”

When the LORD leads us into spiritually discerning its meaning, He begins with the word’s five uses in the original text. As we know from studying these texts, there is no set spelling used, meaning words appear in various forms, and scholars did their best to determine the actual words and their meanings. In the hands of these same “experts,” was clouded much of the original meaning.

In this case the words appear as follows: Matthew 9:30, enebrimesato; Mark 1:43 & 14:4, embrimesamenon & enebrimonto; and John 11:33 & 38, enebrimesato & embrimomenon.

The word (combining Greek and Hebrew) is speaking of the “passage” from death to life occurring (en ‘ebar mesos) as He comes alive in those whose eyes are opened by their faith in Him, and they see Him (again). This is what they are told to tell no man, and why they immediately declare Him, which manifests His presence to those who must have faith, and will thereby, as they have, see the One present unseen.

Matthew 9
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, You son of David, have mercy on us [and speak with us above your mercy seat].
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus says unto them, Believe you that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, LORD.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them [the LORD now alive in them bringing them to life by opening their eyes], saying, See that no man know it [the LORD now unknown in them as the Holy Ghost working and speaking unknown to reveal Himself].
31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil [unable to speak this word of God, because it is foreign to those possessed by the ignorance of those misleading them].
33 And when the devil [the misleaders they follow] was cast out, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said, He casts out devils through the prince of the devils.
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then said he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few;
38 Pray you therefore the LORD of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.

Jeremiah 5
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
22 Fear you not me? says the LORD: will you not tremble at my presence [paniym], which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea [the limit of humanity] by a perpetual [‘owlam] decree [choq], that it cannot pass it [‘abar – Passover from death to life]: and though the waves thereof toss themselves [the pride of men who have risen up to agitate all the world], yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it [‘abar – from death to life without fearing My presence and obeying My good leading]?
23 But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that gives rain, both the former and the latter [His word and understanding held in heaven], in his season: he reserves [shamar – guarded and protected it there] unto us the appointed [chuqqah] weeks [shabuwa’] of the harvest. [shabuwa’ is used nineteen time, the number of judgment; only once in the prophets, here in Jeremiah, and eight times in Daniel: six in Daniel 9:24 thru 27, and twice, in Daniel 10:2 & 3]
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good things from you.
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait [with their deceptions], as he that set snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore, they are become great, and waxen rich.
28 They are waxen fat, they shine [as if their deceptions are understanding]: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29 Shall I not visit [paqad – come as I have, as the Chief Overseer of the earth] for these things? says the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 A wonderful [shammah – consternation, and inability to understand the unexpected happening] and horrible thing is committed [hayah – has become] in the land [‘erets – the earth];
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means [of deception, the cause of the consternation]; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof [‘achariyth – in these last days that have thereby unexpectedly come]?

The word rendered “horrible,” in verse 30 above, is the four times used word sha’aruwrah, meaning “feminine from 8176 [sha’ar, “to split or open, i.e. (literally, but only as denominative from 8179 {sha’ar, “an opening; i.e. a door or gate}) to act as gate-keeper (see 7778): (figuratively) to estimate:–think”] in the sense of 8175 [sa’er, “to storm, by implication, to shiver; i.e. to fear”]; something fearful:–horrible thing.”

It (sha’aruwrah) appears elsewhere in Jeremiah 18:13 & 24:14, and in Hosea 6:10, all as above speaking of the gate between heaven and hell. It is the minds of men, which, into hell, is only entered by following the deception of misleaders, and can only be exited, entering heaven, by following the LORD’s good leading.

As above, the LORD very sternly warned many times to beware of these false prophets who’ve come and misled all except the very elect.

Matthew 24
21 For then shall be great tribulation [as it is this day], such [mass delusion and insanity] as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs [calling you to follow them and saying they will save you; when many have and they haven’t saved them], and false prophets [telling you they know the time isn’t now, and then deceive all into continuing in death and hell where they’ve held them], and shall show great signs and wonders [they say are reasons you should keep following them]; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning [understanding] comes out of the east [as the sunrise of this new day], and shineth even unto the west [from heaven upon all]; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcass [of the dead body of Christ] is, there will the eagles be gathered together [those who fly in this heaven with the LORD, lifted there by the strength of His understanding].
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened [the church now understood to have no light in it, but are ignorant of the LORD’s presence], and the moon [civil government] shall not give her light [because they rule the ignorant by continued ignorance], and the stars shall fall from heaven [God’s people fallen into hell, where they sleep in the darkness], and the [corrupt] powers of the heavens shall be shaken [so the wicked are from there shaken]:
30 And then shall appear the sign [this light] of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds [where understanding was reserved when it left the earth] of heaven with power and great glory [revealing the presence of God with us].
31 And he shall send his angels [messenger unto whom He first revealed Himself] with a great sound of a trumpet [calling all to come to the light: the message in their mouths], and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise you, when you shall see all these things [the new life springing from the earth], know that it is near, even at the doors [the exit out of hell into heaven, full understanding, with Him].
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 [The old and corrupt] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knows no man [as it is this day, none know He is here now, and has been with us long-suffering until Christ is formed in us], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken [away by the flood of the wicked], and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken [by the flood from the mouths of the wicked, the gate holding them in death and hell], and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your LORD does come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house [those left in charge of protecting and guarding against corruption this understanding] had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you [because of the consternation] think not the Son of man comes.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his LORD has made ruler over his household, to give them [this] meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his LORD when he comes shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My LORD delays his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The LORD of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Jeremiah 18
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear my words.
3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? says the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in mine hand, O house of Israel.
7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought [chashab] to do unto them.
9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah [the leaders of My people], and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem [My People at large], saying, Thus says the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise [chashab] a device [machashabah – what chashab?] against you: return you now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after [‘achar – to the end of] our own devices [machashabah], and we will every one do the imagination [shriyruwth – the marred vessels in the hand of the potters of the earth] of his evil heart.
13 Therefore thus says the LORD; Ask you now among the heathen, who has heard such things: the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing [sha’aruwrah].
14 Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon [the LORD’s purity now seen on high] which comes from the rock of the field [Christ manifested on the Earth, as the living waters, that were frozen, now freely flow from me]? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place [zuwr – as a strange language to those who only know corruption] be forsaken?
15 Because my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity [their worthless creations], and they have caused them to stumble [against the Rock that offends them] in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up [calah – not exalted by the LORD];
16 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing [drawing attention to their own ignorance]; every one that passes [‘abar – thinks they will by this corruption rise from death] thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head [wondering why they remain ignorant, ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth].
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind [My Spirit moving upon these water, of which they are ignorant] before the enemy; I will show them the back [not know I have come until I have passed by], and not the face [paniym – not knowing My presence], in the day of their calamity.
18 Then said they, Come and let us devise devices [chashab machashabah] against Jeremiah [the LORD rising to raise His people]; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue [word of deception, to hold the people down in death and hell], and let us not give heed [qashab – to pierce the ear and enter the mind] to any of his words.
19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before you to speak good for them, and to turn away your wrath from them.
21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine [the result of not accepting this word as the word from the mouth of God], and pour out their blood by the force of the sword [the word they refuse]; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you shall bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
23 Yet, LORD, you know all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your sight, but let them be overthrown before you; deal thus with them in the time of your anger.

Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD.
2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited [paqad – manifested My presence, been the Chief Overseer for the good of] them: behold, I will visit [paqad – manifest Myself as the Chief Overseer of the earth] upon you the evil of your doings, says the LORD.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, says the LORD.
5 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah [the elect remnant first] shall be saved, and Israel [God’s people at large] shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The LORD Our Righteousness.
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD lives, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 But, The LORD lives, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country [the darkness that covers the earth], and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land [‘adamah – the land that I have given to the people I have created again].
9 Mine heart [the minds of My people] within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
10 For the land [‘erets – the earth] is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourns; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, says the LORD.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness [their ignorance by which they suddenly fall]: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation [pquddah – now when I Am risen into sight as the Chief Overseer of the earth], says the LORD.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria [who put idols in My place and call them by My name]; they prophesied in Baal [the idols of the confused world], and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing [sha’aruwrah]: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none does return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land [‘erets – the earth].
16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Hearken [shama’ – obey] not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain [habal – to stray into worthlessness]: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD has said, You shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walks after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18 For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD, and has perceived and heard his word? who has marked [qashab] his word, and heard [shama’ – obeyed] it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has executed, and till he has performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days [‘achariyth] you shall consider [biyn – understand] it perfectly.
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear [shama’ – obey] my words, then they should have turned [shuwb – returned] them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23 Am I a God at hand, says the LORD, and not a God afar off [rachowq – now when the world has ended by evil decrees]?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? says the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? says the LORD.
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed [created evil decrees while sleeping in darkness].
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
28 The prophet that has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff [the lies of evil dreamers] to the wheat [the good seed speaking this word of God]? says the LORD.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? says the LORD; and like a hammer that break the rock [the false Christs] in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbor.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He says.
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, says the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness [giving no value to this word]; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says the LORD.
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of the LORD [massa’ – the song He says we should sing]? you shall then say unto them, What burden [mah massa’]? I will even forsake you, says the LORD.
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden [massa’] of the LORD [speaking their own words that are the burden while saying My word is a burden], I will even punish [paqad – come as the Chief Overseer against] that man and his house.
35 Thus shall you say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What has the LORD answered? and, What has the LORD spoken?
36 And the burden [massa’] of the LORD shall you mention no more: for every man’s [own] word shall be his burden [massa’]; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
37 Thus shall you say to the prophet, What has the LORD answered you? and, What has the LORD spoken?
38 But since you say, The burden [massa’] of the LORD [saying this word is a burden]; therefore thus says the LORD; Because you say this word, The burden [massa’] of the LORD [and speak your own word], and I have sent unto you, saying, You shall not say, The burden [massa’] of the LORD [never again speaking in My name];
39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence [paniym]:
40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

The only other place the word massa’ appears in Jeremiah is four times in Jeremiah 17. The word’s meaning is “from 5375 [nasa’ – to lift]; 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.”

Matthew 11
23 And you, Capernaum [the place where these words of the Comforter have come], which are exalted unto heaven [lifting your words above the LORD’s, saying you have understanding and He doesn’t], shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden [with the evil words of men in positions of power], and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I Am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light [double meaning intended].

Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah [the leaders of My people] is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
2 While their children remember their [creations] altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills [places of power].
3 O my mountain in the field [My high places in the earth], I will give your substance and all your treasures [your creations you think have value] to the spoil, and your high places [from where you mislead] for sin, throughout all your borders.
4 And you, even yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you know not [because you’re blinded by your own ignorance]: for you have kindled a fire in mine anger, which [as hell] shall burn forever.
5 Thus says the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD.
6 For he shall be like the heath [a tree stripped of protection against the elements] in the desert, and shall not see when good comes; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land [where nothing grows from the earth] and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man that trusts in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked [‘anash – the “woeful” day spoken of in verse 16 below]: who can know it?
10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
11 As the partridge sits on eggs, and hatches them not; so he that gets riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end 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 [impatiently, presumptuously, going before you led me] to follow you: neither have I desired the woeful [‘anash – desperately wicked] day; you know: that which came out of my lips was right before you [nokach – only here in Jeremiah, meaning not against].
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 the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19 Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate [into and out of hell and heaven] 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;
20 And say unto them, Hear [shama’] you the word of the LORD, you kings of Judah [who rule My people], and all Judah [those following these men], and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem [all God’s people at large], that enter in [to hell and heaven] by these gates:
21 Thus says the LORD; Take heed [shamar – guard and protect] to yourselves, and bear no burden [massa’ – you own words] on the sabbath day [when I interrupt you with My presence, stopping your words, for correction back onto the good course], nor bring it in [into heaven] by the gates of Jerusalem;
22 Neither carry forth a burden [masasa] out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do you any work, but hallow 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, nor receive instruction [correction].
24 And it shall come to pass, if you diligently hearken [shama’ – obey] unto me, says the LORD, to bring in no burden [massa’] 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 [as My right hand], and from the plain [seeing all these things], 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’] unto me to hallow the sabbath day [when I interrupt you for correction], and not to bear a burden [massa’ – your words], 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 ‘anash, above, in verses 9 & 16, rendered “desperately wicked” and “woeful,” only appears seven other times, and means “to be frail, feeble, or (figuratively) melancholy:–desperate(-ly wicked), incurable, sick, woeful.” In its other seven uses, it is five times rendered “incurable,” once as “very sick,” and once as “desperate.”

Isaiah 17
7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not been mindful of the rock of your strength, therefore shall you plant pleasant plants, and shall set it with strange slips [engraft strangers with foreign ways]:
11 In the day shall you make your plant to grow, and in the morning shall you make your seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate [‘anash] sorrow.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise [voices] of the seas; and to the rushing of nations [of those who don’t know the LORD is present], that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters [against the LORD]!
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off [merchaq – from this decreed appointed time of the LORD], and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains [the worthlessness in high places] before [paniym] the wind [the presence of the LORD’s Spirit working and speaking unknown], and like a rolling thing before [paniym – in the presence of] the whirlwind.
14 And behold at evening-tide [when the flood of darkness comes] trouble; and before the morning [when the light comes] he [the darkness] is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.

Proverbs 23
6 Eat you not the bread of him that has an evil eye, neither desire you his dainty meats:
7 For as he thinks [sha’ar {8176}, only used here] in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to you; but his heart is not with you.
8 The morsel which you have eaten shall you vomit up, and lose you your sweet words.
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

Hosea 6
1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he has torn, and he will heal [rapha’] us; he has smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up [in this resurrection], and we shall live in [by] his sight.
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning [this coming of His light upon the earth]; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain [His word and understanding from heaven where He reserved it] unto the earth.
4 O Ephraim [My people in this generation], what shall I do unto you? O Judah [you leaders of My people], what shall I do unto you? for your goodness is as a morning cloud [that disappears when the light comes], and as the early dew it goes away [when the light comes].
5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and your judgments are as the light [My understanding] that go forth.
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 Gilead [the high places where this testimony is sent] is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
10 I have seen a horrible thing [sha’aruwrah] in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim [all God’s people in this generation], Israel is defiled.
11 Also, O Judah [the now awakened elect remnant], he has set a harvest for you, when I returned the captivity [captivating the minds] of my people.

Jeremiah 31
17 And there is hope in your end [‘achariyth – these last days], says the LORD, that your children shall come again to their own border.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised [corrected] me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth [acting as a child, until childish things were put away].
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, says the LORD.
21 Set you up waymarks, make you high heaps: set your heart toward the highway, even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
22 How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
23 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless you, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.

Psalms 63
1 O God, you are my God; early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.
3 Because your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
4 Thus will I bless you while I live: I will lift up my hands in your name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips:
6 When I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the night watches.
7 Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

27 – 28 September 2023

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

The above is Psalms 68:1, which is followed by a description of the LORD manifesting His presence as He confirms His word, freely sending it upon all, like rain from the clouds of heaven. It tells of when men realize this event and exalt His word by singing it as received, as a free gift, continuing the process. The process is through the flesh of those who receive it as His words, answer His call, and, chosen by Him, are glorified, further revealing in them His presence.

Friends, the people who oppose this are those in power who will never see Him because of the corruption that clouds their minds and those of any remaining under their evil spell. Proverbially, these are the spells that chain men in hell, the bars and gates that hold them there. These men are in all the pulpits, telling their stories after giving you crumbs from the word of God, and for it, they ask all to subsidize their continued misleading.

Thus says the LORD:
Proverbs 7
24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O you children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not your heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
26 For she has cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2 Also, that the [sleeping] soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hastens [away from the LORD’s long-suffering correction] with his feet sins.
3 The foolishness of man perverts his way: and his heart [his corrupt foundational mind] frets [za’aph – is enraged] against the LORD.
4 Wealth [worldly prospering] makes many friends; but the poor [without any worldly power] is separated from his neighbor.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape.
6 Many will intreat [chalah – many ask for relief of their problems] the favor [paniym – in the presence] of the prince: and every man [who asks] is a friend to him that gives [worldly] gifts [why then is it not so with God people who the LORD gives these heavenly treasures that are the cure for their deep ailments].
7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him [because he has no worldly gift to give them]: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursues them with words [these treasures], yet they are wanting to him [unsatisfied with this free offering of God].
8 He that [receiving him] gets wisdom loves his own soul [which this gift awakens into life]: he that keeps [shamar – that guards and protects from corruption] understanding shall find good.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish.
10 Delight is not seemly [suitable] for a fool; much less for a servant [‘ebed – who is as Cannan, who should be a servant but instead have now become tyrants – see its use in Genesis 9:25 thru 27] to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man defers his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew upon the grass [as the word of God appearing on earth beginning this new day].
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping [when words never end the argument].
14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15 Slothfulness [not working, not diligently seeking the LORD and His will] casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger [without His word from heaven].
16 He that keeps [shamar] the commandment keeps [shamar] his own soul; but he that despises his [the LORD’s good] ways shall die.
17 He that has pity upon the poor lends [himself] unto the LORD [joining with Him in His giving]; and that which he has given will he [the LORD] pay him again.
18 Chasten your son while there is hope, and let not your soul spare [him from correction] for his crying.
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if you deliver him, yet you must do it again.
20 Hear [shama’ – obey] counsel [‘etsah], and receive instruction, that you mayest be wise in your latter end [‘achariyth – in these last days].
21 There are many devices [machashabah – contrivances, the machines of Satan’s siege against good counsel] in a man’s heart [men’s minds possessed by him]; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22 The desire of a man is his kindness [the LORD’s mercy to those who don’t forsake it for worthless lies]: 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 [with these treasures of heaven]; he shall not be visited [paqad] with evil [when the LORD comes as the Chief Overseer of the earth against the wicked].
24 A slothful man hides his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again [to eat this bread of life and freely give it as received].
25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26 He that wastes his father [who instructs and corrects him into a good way], and chase away his mother [who teaches him good wisdom and the knowledge of God], is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
27 Cease, my son, to hear [shama’ – obey] the instruction that causes to err from the words of knowledge.
28 An ungodly witness [not telling what is truly seen] scorns [the LORD’s] judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devours [only eats and speaks words of] iniquity.
29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

Psalms 68
1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him [paniym – at His presence].
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melts before [paniym – in the presence of] the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence [paniym] of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before [paniym – in the presence of] God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rides upon the heavens by his name Jah [Yahh – spiritually from the once used word ya’ah, rendered “appertain” in Jeremiah 10:7, speaking of there being none like Him among all the wise men of the earth], and rejoice before him [paniym – in His presence].
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 God set the solitary in families: he bringeth out [of death and hell] those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 O God, when you went forth before [paniym – present among] your people, when you did march through the wilderness [among the desolate]; Selah:
8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence [paniym] of God: even Sinai [the sleep that came from altering the word of God, a time when thorns, misleaders, over grew the world left in the care of men who were supposed to guard and protect it against corrupt] itself was moved at the presence [paniym] of God, the God of Israel.
9 You, O God, did send a plentiful [ndabah – in one who is a willing offering] rain [Your word from heaven], whereby you did confirm [kuwn – to resurrect] your inheritance, when it was weary [la’ah, a nineteen time used word referring us to it uses in Isaiah 47:13, Jeremiah 9:5, and Ezekiel 24:12 – all below speaking of the things that wearied God’s people and caused their desolation].
10 Your congregation has dwelt therein [the rain You sent]: you, O God, have prepared [kuwn – resurrected] of your goodness for the poor [who are without worldly power].
11 The LORD gave the [this] word: great was the company of those that published it [basar – announcing these good tidings, this goodness He has given to the poor].
12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home [waited on the LORD] divided the spoil.
13 Though you have lien among the pots, yet shall you be as the wings of a dove [flying in heaven with His strength of His understanding, which is a sign of the end reached] covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold [the treasures that lifted you into heaven].
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan [fruitfulness].
16 Why leap you, you high hills? this is the hill which God desires to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it forever.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the LORD is among them, as in Sinai [as fire against the misleaders who altered My word and caused your sleep in death], in the holy place [above My mercy seat].
18 You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
19 Blessed be the LORD, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the LORD belong the issues from death.
21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goes on still in his trespasses.
22 The LORD said, I will bring again from Bashan [fruitfulness], I will bring my people again from the depths [mtsowlah] of the sea [these are the deep Jonah also called the belly of hell]:
23 That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same.
24 They have seen your goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary [qodesh – this is the most holy place, in the LORD’s manifested presence].
25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Bless you God in the congregations, even the LORD, from the fountain of Israel.
27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Your God has commanded your strength: strengthen, O God, that which you have wrought for us.
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto you.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter you the people that delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Sing unto God, you kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the LORD; Selah:
33 To him that rides upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe you strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 O God, you are terrible out of your holy places: the God of Israel is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

Isaiah 47
1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon [of confusion], sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans [who use your words to manipulate and control My people into following your evil]: for you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal [qemach]: uncover your locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over [‘abar] the rivers [uncover your word of falsehood and lies, and in doing Passover from death into life].
3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet you as a man.
4 As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts [a man of war] is his name [identity], the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sit you silent [Shunammite], and get you into darkness [ignorance], O daughter of the Chaldeans [enchanters and sorcerers, using your words to manipulate and control the ignorant]: for you shall no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and given them into your hand: you did show them no mercy; upon the ancient have you very heavily laid your yoke.
7 And you said, I shall be a lady forever: so that you did not lay these things to your heart, neither did remember the latter end [‘achariyth – these last days of your darkness] of it.
8 Therefore hear now this, you that are given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in your heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9 But these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon you in their perfection for the multitude of your sorceries, and for the great abundance of your enchantments.
10 For you have trusted in your wickedness: you have said, None see me. Your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you; and you have said in your heart, I am, and none else beside me.
11 Therefore shall evil come upon you; you shall not know from whence it rises: and mischief shall fall upon you; you shall not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know.
12 Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, wherein you have labored from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you mayest prevail.
13 You are wearied [la’ah] in the multitude of your counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, [all the falsely so-called wise men and experts of this corrupt and insane world] stand up, and save you from these things that shall come upon you.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
15 Thus shall they be unto you with whom you have labored, even your merchants, from your youth: they shall wander [deceive] every one to his quarter; none shall save you.

Jeremiah 9
1 Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, says the LORD.
4 Take you heed every one of his neighbor, and trust you not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will walk with slanders.
5 And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary [la’ag] themselves to commit iniquity.
6 Your habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, says the LORD.
7 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in heart he lays his wait [to make him his prey].
9 Shall I not visit [paqad – manifest my presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth, against] them for these things? says the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Ezekiel 24 begins with the LORD telling Ezekiel (the son of man) to name the day, even of this same day. The day is “the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day.” The number nine speaks of final judgment, and the number ten describes ordinal perfection (completion), here spiritually denoting the judgment and completion of church and state governments (sun and moon).

Israel, reduced by idol worship, ended under Hosea in the ninth year of his reign, 2 Kings 17:6 telling us, “In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria: took Samaria [the capitol], and carried Israel away into Assyria.” This event, in our time (again spiritually), speaks of the Democrat Party, their leaders with the people at large, falling to the communists and now tyrannically ruling by evil force (they, beginning demagogues, ending tyrants, overturned the liberty of our republic {Federalist #1}).

In Ezekiel 24, the day to be named is the same day mentioned in 2 Kings 25:1 (also spoken of in Jeremiah 39:1), which begins the end of Judah (now spiritually the Republicans, the corrupt crop leading the remnant of the republic). Ezekiel describes these events after the final two verses of chapter 23 say, “48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. 49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols: and you shall know that I am the LORD God.”

The following, ending with 1 Corinthians 10, is the initial portion of the post of 9 July 2021, with today’s additions in double brackets:

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.

The above is the LORD describing the process of sanctification, which ends with our exalting Him, as He describes Himself above, as a man of war, the Commander and Chief (“of hosts”) of the army of heaven, which He musters, sanctifies, and commands.

This process is precisely described in Isaiah, in successive uses of the Hebrew word qadash, rendered above “sanctify,” meaning “to be (causatively, make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonially or morally).”

We understand, from 2 Timothy 2:21, this is a process of purging us of the “scum” spoken of in Ezekiel 24:13, by the LORD’s good judgment, so we become “meet” for the Master’s (The LORD of Hosts’) use, prepared for every good work.

2 Timothy 2
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 you from Joining with the LORD, in one body, one flesh, as His only son, and forbidding this they hid behind the spurious mask of caring for your soul];
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, 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 perilous times shall 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 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 has 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.

Ezekiel 24
9 Therefore thus says the LORD God; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
12 She has wearied [[la’ah]] herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
13 In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged you, and you were not purged, you shall not be purged from your filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest [nuwach] upon you.
14 I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways, and according to your doings, shall they judge you, says the LORD God.
15 Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
16 Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet neither shall you mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of your head upon you, and put on your shoes upon your feet [prepare to go out of their, the dead’s, house], and cover not your lips [‘atah sapham], and eat not the bread of [dead] men.
18 So I spoke unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 And the people said unto me, Will you not tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?
20 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left shall fall by the sword [this word of God to the rebels].
22 And you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your lips [‘atah sapham – you shall not keep my word from being heard, my mouth will be uncovered], nor eat the bread of men [the misleading words of men shall not be taken into your minds].
23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet [you shall leave the houses of the dead]: you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away [maqaq – as in Zechariah 14:12 speaking of the plague, “Their [works of the] flesh shall consume away [maqaq] while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes [the thing they say they understand] shall consume away [maqaq] in their holes [chowr], and their tongue [their defiled words with which they deceive and mislead the world] shall consume away [maqaq] in their mouth.] for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he has done shall you do: and when this comes, you shall know that I am the LORD God.
25 Also, you son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
26 That he that escapes in that day shall come unto you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
27 In that day shall your mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and you shall speak [this word of understanding], and be no more dumb: and you shall be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

In demonstrating the process, the LORD, in the first of eight uses of qadash in Isaiah, begins in Isaiah 5:16, speaking of the captivity of His people, as mentioned above in 2 Timothy.

Isaiah 5
… they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honorable men are famished [without the word from the mouth of God], and their multitude dried up with thirst [for the waters, the word of God, from heaven].
14 Therefore hell has enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoices, shall descend into it [hell].
15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
16 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted [as the son of man must be lifted up, as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness] in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified [qadash – declared Holy, in His Holy One through who He manifests His presence] in righteousness.
17 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity [of worthlessness], and sin as it were with a cart rope:
19 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness [ignorance] for light [understanding], and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle [mix their lies and false accusation into] strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore [in this judgment] as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

In the above, the LORD tells of how He is exalted, when His judgment and righteousness come as consuming fire against those who’ve despised the word of the one He’s called Holy. In the following use, in Isaiah 8:13, the title verse, He calls His people to declare Him Holy (righteous, and His word pure). He describes the wicked misleaders as wizards that peep and mutter, speaking the familiar words of the known dead, seeking to ill-advise and mislead His people into deeper darkness and anguish.

These men and those who follow them are the confederacy of the ignorant, the legions of Satan arrayed against the Holy One described as the foundation stone. This stone, as seen in the previous post, is as in Joshua 24:26 & 27, which says, “26 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD. 27 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it has heard all the words of the LORD which he spoke unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest you deny your God.”

The tree and the stone are referring us to Genesis 49, as Jacob tells his sons what shall befall them in these last days [[‘avhariyth]], and speaks of Joseph as a bough (branch) of a tree by the well, that goes over the wall. From the LORD’s blessing him, with the blessings of the deep and of heaven, the strength (understanding) of Almighty God, comes the Shepherd and Stone (all the same word, ‘eben), the king who prevails and is crowned.

Genesis 49
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well [a tree of life by these waters of God]; whose branches run over the wall [the wall of lies men have created and teach]:
23 The archers [ba’al – the gods of this world whose teaching has blinded all form seeing the Father, in the son, the seed of the women who brings forth the man child – see Revelation 12:5] have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of your father, who shall help [‘azar] you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless [barak] you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies under [the deep meaning that lies below the surface], blessings of the breasts, and of the womb [seed, the son]:
26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors [harah – all those who have come before us, and were only blessed with part of what is perfected in our return to the LORD] unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head [see Zechariah 9:16 above] of him that was separate from his brethren.

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 [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh (Immanuel), Commanding His people with good leadership].
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 [let us not doubt or deny Jehovah’s presence manifested in the flesh], as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
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 of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
13 There has no temptation 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 [and in doing escape those denying and doubting Christ, and misleading into darkness].
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? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17 For we being many are one bread, and ONE BODY: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

Jeremiah 10
1 Hear you the word which the LORD speaks unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus says the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen [gowy – those who don’t know me], and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven [this full understanding]; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for [to make idols they put in my place and call by my name] one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne [carried], because they cannot go [walk]. Be not afraid of them [because they are nothing]; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in Might.
7 Who would not fear you, O King of nations? for to you does it appertain [ya’ah – to reveal Your presence by removing the scum]: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations [gowy – who don’t know You, because they are corrupted and ignorant], and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto you [with full understanding].
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities [worthlessness].
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men [makers of idols they call by My name].
10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11 Thus shall you say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12 He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13 When he uttereth his voice [as the seven thunders revealing what was reserved from this purpose], there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – now when the LORD has come as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
17 Gather up your wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
18 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not [there are none left with understanding]: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22 Behold, the noise [qowl – the voice] of the bruit [shmuw’ah – those who have heard the voice of Jehovah] is come, and a great commotion out of the north country [among the ignorant], to make the cities of Judah [the misleaders, who by the abominations they put in my, caused it to become] desolate, and a den of dragons [of those who devour with their ever open mouths].
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself [they are ignorant of their own ignorance]: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps [in a good way].
24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on your name: for they have [like dragons, with their mouths] eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation [which they filled with abominations] desolate.

Revelation [Apokalupsis – the disclosure of the LORD’s presence] 15
1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass [God’s people at large, calmed by the LORD’s presence realized] mingled with fire [this word from His mouth]: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast [Babylon: the confusion and insanity that rules the world], and over his image [the creations of men], and over his mark [confused minds], and over the number of his name [the mask behind which they hide], stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, [repeating the words they’ve been given, full understanding from heaven as the former and latter rain] saying, Great and marvelous are your works, LORD God Almighty; just and true are your ways, you King of saints.
4 Who shall not fear you, O LORD, and glorify your name [quoted above in Jeremiah 10:6 & 7]? for you only are holy: for all nations shall come and worship before you; for your judgments are made manifest.
5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony [this word of God] in heaven was opened:
6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.
8 And the temple was filled with smoke [to rid it of the vermin infesting it] from the glory of God [His presence revealed by His word], and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

Psalms 113
1 Praise you the LORD. Praise, O you servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name is to be praised.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwells on high,
6 Who humbles himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9 He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise you the LORD.

Psalms 114
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea [the remainder of humanity at large] saw it, and fled: Jordan [the words of wicked men, which carried all in the descent into death] was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; and you little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence [paniym] of the LORD [whose presence did these things], at the presence [paniym] of the God of Jacob;
8 Which turned the rock [the LORD alive in Me] into a standing water, the flint [His words from my mouth, which kindle the fire of His Spirit alive in man] into a fountain of [living] waters.

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?

25 – 26 September 2023

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?

The LORD begins today in the above, Ezekiel 14:3, speaking to the elders of His people who have come and sit before the son of man, to enquire of the LORD. The subject of this inquisition is the LORD’s presence, which is hidden from them by the stumbling-blocks of their iniquity.

The Hebrew words rendered “before their face” are nokach paniym, meaning against [His] presence. The word rendered “inquire” is darash, meaning “to tread or frequent; usually to follow (for pursuit or search); by implication, to seek or ask; specifically to worship [which is seeking Him]).”

This latter word (darash), appearing twice in the title verse (also rendered “at all”), is referring us to its use, twice, in Isaiah 8:19, saying, “And when they shall say unto you, Seek [darash] unto them that have familiar spirits [of the known dead speaking the ways of death and hell], and unto wizards [the falsely so-called “experts”] that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek [darash] unto their God? [instead of looking] for the living to the dead?”

The word (in the title verse) rendered stumbling-block, is the fourteen times used word mikshowl, spiritually meaning it is the snare (net) of hell (mikmor sheol). It, in context, also appears in Isaiah 8, in verse 14, saying “And he [the LORD with us] shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence [mikshowl] to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.”

This verse (Isaiah 8:14), speaking of those who stumble and are offended by the LORD’s presence, and thereby caught in the snare of hell, is preceded by the below portion, speaking of those they are listening to and obeying, who put themselves in the LORD’s place.

Isaiah 8
5 The LORD spoke also unto me again, saying,
6 Forasmuch as this people refuse the waters of Shiloah [the word that flows from God and is the foundation of true peace and security] that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin [the communists in power over church and state – those “firm” in their rejection of the LORD’s presence] and Remaliah’s son [the leaders of God people, joined with the communists against all His people at large];
7 Now therefore, behold, the LORD bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria [the communists in power], and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels [the flood that, when obeyed, carried all into death and hell], and go over all his banks:
8 And he shall pass through Judah [against all God’s leaders, and they shall all become as drunken men, “For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.”]; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of your land [as a flood], O Immanuel [‘immanuw ‘el – into which tribulation the LORD has now manifested His presence as God with us].
9 Associate yourselves, O you people, and you shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you of far countries [merchaq ‘erets – this decreed time of the LORD upon the earth]: gird [prepare yourselves for the battle against His appearing] yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves [prepare your weapons of deception, false accusation, and misleading], and you shall be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us [‘immanuw ‘el – remember, from the post of 12 August 2023, the untranslated part of this word: the once used word manuwn, telling God is with us in the perpetual son, as it appears in Proverbs 29:21, saying “He that delicately brings up his servant from a child shall have him become his son {manuwn} at the length {‘achariyth – in these last days.”}].
11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 Say you not, A confederacy [with the wicked and ignorant], to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear you their fear [of the fires of lies and false accusation they bring upon all who refuse to bow to their wickedness and ignorance], nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify [declare Him alone holy, and separate yourselves from the wicked for the work set before us by] the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war] himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

The following, ending with 1 Thessalonians 5, is from the post of 10 – 12 August 2023:

Therefore, the LORD himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Isaiah 7:15
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

The name Immanuel, in the title verse, Isaiah 7:14, is said to only appear elsewhere in Isaiah 8:8. In the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary, it’s said to be from ‘Immanuw’el, purportedly a compounding of the words (#5973) ‘im, meaning “with (i.e., in conjunction with);” and (#410) ‘el, meaning “strength; as adjective, mighty; especially the Almighty (but used also of any deity):–God.”

When we examine the original text we find a gross misrepresentation in the translation. We find the word ‘Immanuw’el isn’t there, neither is it found anywhere in the original text. What we do find are two words, the first ‘immanuw, in both appearances, said to be the full name (#6005) ‘Immanuw’el; the second word is ‘el, God.

The word ‘immanuw, when appearing here and in other places other than here, isn’t assigned a number (and, therefore, neither is it given a definition) by Strong. In these different places, when used speaking of God or the LORD God, it is rendered “with us.”

We know from Matthew 1:23, where Isaiah is quoted, the translation is correct, “being interpreted ‘God with us.'” When this interpretation appears (as “God is with us”) in Isaiah 8:10 it’s from the exact words (‘immanuw ‘el) earlier rendered Immanuel.

The untranslated part, manuw, is from two words, ma, meaning “what,” and nuw, from nuwn meaning, “to resprout, i.e., propagate by shoots; figuratively, to be perpetual:– be continued.” The Hebrew word manuwn only appears one time, in Proverbs 29:21, when describing how (what?) the “resprouting,” the manifestation in the flesh, occurs.

Before looking at this concept (in Proverbs 29), in the context of Isaiah 7:15, we must remember the word nuwn is the name Nun, which describes Joshua (Jesus) as the son in perpetuity (of Nun). Proverbs 29 begins with a contrast against verse 21, verses 1 & 2 saying, “He, that being often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bear rule, the people mourn.”

Proverbs, the word, literally describes things to be considered and understood “before action.” The word “authority,” above in Proverbs 29:2, speaking of the consent of the governed, the consensus of the majority, is “rabah,” meaning “to increase (in whatever respect).”

The LORD uses it here to refer us to Genesis 1:28, where He gave us dominion over the earth and all that is therein, in the day He created us.

Genesis 1
26 And God said, Let us make man [[‘Adam]] in our image [[tselem]], after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
27 So God created man [[‘Adam]] in his own image [[tselem]], in the image [[tselem]] of God created he him; male [[zakar]] and female [[nqebah]] created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply [rabah], and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creeps upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

When the LORD speaks of making us in His “likeness,” it’s the twenty-five times used word dmuwth, meaning “resemblance; concretely, model, shape; adverbially, like:–fashion, like (-ness, as), manner, similitude.” This is the objective the LORD Himself long-suffers to complete, as He has throughout history, perpetually (manuwn) manifesting His presence, in His chosen flesh He first prepares (with “butter and honey”), to bring many children to this same glory.

The last appearance of dmuwth is in Daniel 10:16, when Daniel sees the sons God has made to Himself, to open the mouths of His people in this time of (Daniel rising) the judgment of God.

Daniel 10
14 Now I am come to make you understand what shall befall your people in the latter days [‘achariyth]: for yet the vision is for many days.
15 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
16 And, behold, one like the similitude [dmuwth – made in the likeness of God] of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said unto him that stood before me, O my LORD, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
17 For how can the servant of this my LORD talk with this my LORD? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength [understanding of my own] in me, neither is there breath [life] left in me.
18 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
19 And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto you, be strong, yea, be strong [receive this understand]. And when he had spoken [this word from the mouth of God, which is light and life] unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my LORD speak; for you have strengthened me.
20 Then said he, Know you wherefore I come unto you? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia [parac – the same as the word used in the hand writing on the wall, to tell of “dividing” and ending of the kingdom of Babylon: confusion]: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia [yayin – from who shall effervesce wickedness and flood the world with ignorance now turned insanity] shall come.
21 But I will show you that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holds with me in these things, but Michael [who is like God, made in His image and likeness] your prince.

Proverbs 29:21 says, “He that delicately brings up his servant from a child shall have him become his son [manuwn] at the length [‘achariyth – in these last days].”

1 Corinthians 13
8 Charity [freely giving this word of God as received from Him] never fails: but whether there be prophecies [men’s interpretations], they shall fail; whether there be tongues [ignorantly speaking the written word of God], they shall cease; whether there be knowledge [men’s understanding], it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly [ignorantly]; but then face to face [realizing the LORD’s presence in His children speaking His children into life]: now I know in part; but then shall I know [I Am His child] even as also I am known [by Him to be His child].
13 And now abides faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity [freely giving this understanding].

Daniel 12
1 And at that time shall Michael [who is made in God’s likeness] stand up [‘amad – resurrected in these last days], the great prince which stand for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – the tribulation], such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the [now opened] book.
2 And many of them that sleep [this is Abram deep sleep – Genesis 15:12] in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [give understanding] as the brightness of the firmament [the exposition that divides the words of men from the words of God]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets]: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my LORD [‘adown], what shall be the end [‘achariyth – the last days] of these things?

As often discusses, this chapter gives the formula (time and times – both from mow’ed, meaning the appointed time) and numbers of days that add up to the time of Abram’s deep sleep, beginning then and ending now: when the LORD Himself reveals them as He opens the book and we find ourselves written therein.

Daniel 12
9 And he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified [of the corruption that hold them in death’s sleep], and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination [men’s word’s and ways, as idols put in God’s place] that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days [the time, and one of the times].
12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [the other of the times – adding the time 1290 + (to the times 1290 + 1335) = the number of years since Abram’s {Abraham’s} deep sleep began].
13 But go you your way till the end [qets – the full end, now when we are awakened] be: for you shall rest, and stand [‘amad – from the sleep in death resurrected] in your lot at the end [qets – the full end] of the days [here spoken of].

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [as in Daniel 12] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [here alive in Me first], and was confirmed [alive] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost [these treasures given by Him as He spoke and worked unknown, to lead into all truth], according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels [His messengers] has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit him [as the Chief Overseer of the earth]?
7 You made him a little lower than the angels [as we know, these words in the original Hebrew text say he is, we are, sent, made, lacking the understanding of God, which is sleep and death]; you [LORD] crowned him [us] with [Your] glory and honor [giving us Your understanding which is Your presence manifested in us], and did set him over the works of your hands [dominion over all creation]:
8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet [not understanding that] all things [are already] put under him.
9 But we see Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh], who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, [from where He has now risen and is] crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain [commander] of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11 For both he that sanctifies [make us holy] and they who are sanctified [made holy] are all of one [BODY]: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren [children of God],
12 Saying, I will declare your name [identity] unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto you.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me [are for signs and wonders to His people].
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil [through those he possesses, who misled into ignorance, sleep, and death];
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For truly he took not on him the nature of angels [as simply a messenger]; but he took on him the seed of Abraham [the seed of promise, from where the king comes].
17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted [to doubt God is with us, alive in those who rise as His children by correction away from corrupt thinking], he is able to succor [rescue] them that are tempted.

The first time the word ‘immanuw appears speaking of God manifesting Himself into human flesh, as the Overseer of God’s plan to make man in His likeness, is in Genesis 31:50. In this passage, we’re told there’s no man to witness to what God’s sleeping people would soon, in their deep sleep, forget.

The words in verse 50 saying this are translated as “no man is with us; see, God is witness,” from the Hebrew words, ‘aiyn ‘ish ‘immanu ra’ah ‘elohiym ‘ed beyn, meaning “there is no man with us perpetually seeing as God and judging between us by rightly dividing (light from darkness).” The passage is the source of the LORD’s words, in Luke 19:40, saying, “I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.”

The word beyn, meaning “a distinction; but used only as a prep, between (repeated before each noun, often with other particles); also as a conjunction, either…or,” first appears nine times in Genesis 1. It first tells of the light (understanding) divided from the darkness (ignorance), next of the water below (the words of men) divided from the waters above (the words of God), in the firmament (this exposition), which God then named Heaven. The final four times come in verses 14 and 18.

Genesis 1
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide [beyn] the day from [beyn] the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights [sun and moon, church and state governments as God intended them to have His understanding]; the greater light to rule the day [those who understand self-governance], and the lesser light to rule the night [the ignorant who reject His understanding]: he made the stars also [His people shining in the darkness].
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light [understanding] upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide [beyn] the light from [beyn] the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 31
44 Now therefore come you, let us make a covenant, I and you; and let it be for a witness [‘ed] between [beyn] me and you.
45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap [gal]: and they did eat there upon the heap [gal].
47 And Laban [said to mean white, as in Lebanon, where purity should be seen on high, and instead his judgment is corrupted into injustice in his governance] called it Jegarsahadutha [exhausting to record]: but Jacob called it Galeed [gal ‘ed].
48 And Laban said, This heap [gal] is a witness [‘ed] between [beyn] me and you this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed [gal ‘ed – the heap is water from these stones, now in this appointed time: mow’ed];
49 And Mizpah [the watchtower, where things far off are seen]; for he said, The LORD watch [tsaphah – meaning “to peer into the distance; by implication, to observe, await”] between [beyn] me and you, when we are absent [cathar – to hide (by covering)] one from another [rea’ – from our neighbors].
50 If you shall afflict my daughters, or if you shall take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us [‘immanuw]; see [ra’ah – seeing as], God is witness [‘ed] betwixt [beyn] me and you.
51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap [gal], and behold this pillar, which I have cast [yarah – meaning water flows from it, as teaching from the mouth of God, as in the name Jerusalem; yarah shalam, teaching His ways of sustainable peace and security between neighbors] between [beyn] me and you:
52 This heap [gal] be witness [‘ed], and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you shall not pass over [‘abar – now when we Passover from death into life] this heap [gal – from where these waters flow] and this pillar unto me [Laban – those still sleeping], for harm.
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor [meaning he is asleep – Abraham’s brother, from whom Laban in descended], the God of their father, judge betwixt [beyn] us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread [and be awakened]: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night [luwn – they stayed permanently] in the mount [har – speaking of har-meggiddon, Armageddon, this appointed time, the rendezvous with the LORD who is here risen again {‘immanuw}, now to defeat death and hell].

1 Thessalonians 4
9 But as touching brotherly love you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 And indeed you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia [the houses of dead flesh, where men sleep]: but we beseech you, brethren, that you increase more and more;
11 And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 That you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that you may have lack of nothing.
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the LORD, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the LORD shall not prevent [not rise as His ONE BODY without] them which are asleep.
16 For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven with a shout [His voice as a trumpet calling all to gather to Him], with the voice of the archangel [the one who isn’t simply a messenger, but in him is the LORD’s presence manifested as God with us], and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up [harpazo, natsal, as a brand plucked from the fires of hell] together [in ONE BODY] with them in the clouds [full understanding], to meet the LORD in the air [He’s cleared of the smoke that came 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 of the LORD so comes as a thief in the night [unknown to those sleeping].
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety [which is now the false premise of all tyranny]; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness [not ignorant of this time or the presence of tyrants and antichrists], that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 You are all the children of light [understanding], and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Ezekiel 14
1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
3 Son of man, these men have set up [above My word] their idols [their own creations] in their heart [minds], and put the stumbling-block [mikshowl – the snare of hell] of their iniquity [evil misleading] before their face [nokach paniym – against My presence]: should I be enquired [darash] of at all [narach] by them [those who put themselves in My place and tell men to seek them instead of seeking Me]?
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 [his own creations] in his heart, and [thereby] puts the stumbling-block [mishowl – the snare of hell] of his iniquity [‘avon – evil misleading] before his face [nokach paniym – against My presence], and comes to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that comes according to the multitude of his idols [carrying them from confusion into delusion and now ending in insanity];
5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart [their now insane minds], because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus says the LORD God; Repent [shuwb], and turn [shuwb] yourselves from [this is an untranslated word, matsel, meaning the {what?} shadow of] your idols; and turn away [shuwb – return to] your faces [paniym – My presence] from [matsel – from the shadow of which you are ignorant, blocking this light with] all your abominations [you’ve put in place of the holy].
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 [mikshowl – the snare of hell] of his iniquity [‘avon – evil misleading] before his face [nokach paniym – against My presence], and comes to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself [as I here do, of which, because of your abomination that are the stumbling-block, you are ignorant]:
8 And I will set my face [paniym – presence] against that man, and will make him a sign 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 when he has spoken a thing, I the LORD have [by letting his confusion turn into his delusions] deceived 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 [‘avon – the consequences of his evil misleading] of their iniquity: the punishment [‘avon] of the prophet shall be even as the punishment [‘avon] of him that seeks [darash] 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.
12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
13 Son of man, when the land sins against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out my hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof [the ways and ideas that guide them], and will send famine [from hearing My word from these places] upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
14 Though these three men [are here alive in the resurrection], Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but [only] their own souls by their righteousness, says the LORD God.
15 If I cause noisome [ra’ – evil] beasts [chay – living flesh: men without My Spirit] to pass through [‘abar – cause their flesh to become animated] the land [‘erets – upon the earth], and they spoil it, so that it be desolate [as it is], that no man may pass through [‘abar – Passes over from death into life by My Spirit] because of the beasts:
16 Though these three men were in it, as I live, says the LORD God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered [natsal, equivalent of the Greek word harpazo, “caught up,” “pulled” from the fires of hell], but the land [‘erets – earth] shall be desolate.
17 Or if I bring a sword [this word of God rejected] upon that land [‘erets – the earth], and say, Sword [this word from the mouth of the LORD], go through [‘abar – bring those who receive it as My word from death into life] the land [‘erets – on the earth]; so that I cut off [make a My new covenant, when all shall know Me] man and beast from it [hell]:
18 Though these three men were in it, as I live [chay – I Am alive in the flesh], says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih – the King of kings and LORD of lords], they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered [natsal – pluck] themselves [from the fires of hell].
19 Or if I send a pestilence [dis-ease, the agitation that is due hell] into that land [‘erets – the earth], and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live [chay – am alive in the flesh], says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih], they shall deliver [natsal] neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver [natsal] their own souls by their righteousness [a mind cleansed from the stumbling-blocks of iniquity].
21 For thus says the LORD God; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and you shall see [the LORD again in] their [high] way and their doings: and you shall be comforted [nacham – led into all truth, which is My new covenant] concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
23 And they shall comfort [nacham] you [end your confusion and lead you into all truth], when you see [and know Me again in] their ways and their doings: and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, says the LORD God.

1 Corinthians 3
8 Now he that planted [us in the earth] and he that waters [bringing us to life out of it] are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
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’s Salvation alive in our flesh].
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day [this light that has now 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 [with corrupt teaching and evil misleading] 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 seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool [in the LORD’s presence], that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written [in Job 5:13], He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again [in Psalms 94:11], The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
23 And you are Christ’s [the LORD alive in us]; and Christ [the LORD alive in us] is God’s.

The apostrophes in the last verse above aren’t there in the original text, therefor it reads, “And you are Christ [the LORD alive in us making us His ONE BODY]; and Christ [the LORD alive in us] is God.”

Job 5
1 Call now, if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the saints [who sees and judges as God does] will you turn?
2 For wrath kills the foolish man, and envy slays the silly one. [foolish wrath and envy are what cloud the eye and corrupt good judgment.]
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eat up, and taketh it even out of the thorns [from misleaders and deceivers], and the robber [tsammiym – the snare] swallows up [into the belly of hell] their substance [chayil – the strength {understanding} that is the light and life in their flesh].
6 Although affliction [‘aven – worthlessness] comes not forth of the dust [but the ashes of the earth’s ruin come when worthless is exalted], neither does trouble [‘amal] spring out of the ground [‘adamah – from the faithful children of God];
7 Yet man [‘adam] is born unto trouble [‘amal], as the sparks fly upward [rising in darkness where their light disappears].
8 I would seek [darash] unto God, and unto God [in whom we can be confident] would I commit my cause:
9 Which [only] does great things and unsearchable; marvelous [eye opening] things without number:
10 Who gives rain [His word from heaven] upon the earth, and send waters upon the fields [from where life comes]:
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may [by His understanding] be exalted to safety.
12 He disappoints the devices [machashabah – the contrivances, which are their siege machines] the of the crafty [‘aruwm – the “subtlety” of Satan, the serpent of Genesis 3:1], so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise [tuwshiyah – the wisdom by which they think they will achieve what they desire, which is to make man in their evil image and likeness].
13 He takes the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward [those who twist and pervert truth] is carried headlong [into self-destruction].
14 They meet [join together] with darkness [the ignorant] in the day time [now when light is present], and grope in the noonday [when all is clearly seen, when full understanding has come and all the shadows disappear] as in the night [as if they are still hidden in ignorance].
15 But he [the LORD with us] saves the poor [who are without worldly power] from the sword, [which is] from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty [in power].
16 So the poor have hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore, despise not you the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he makes sore, and binds up: he wounds, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver you in six troubles [tsarah – tribulations]: yea, in seven [when the seventh angel sounds and understanding returns to the earth] there shall no evil touch you.
20 In famine [when His word, this word {not the counterfeit}, is no longer heard on the earth] he shall redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword [from the mouths of subtle serpents].
21 You shall be hid from the scourge [showt – that removes the lies and falsehoods under which the wicked think they can hide] of the [righteous] tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction [of the wicked] when it comes.
22 At destruction and famine [ending there words] you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth [the animated flesh without MY Spirit].
23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 And you shall know that your tabernacle shall be in peace; and you shall visit [paqad – by the LORD, who is the Chief Overseer of the earth, and] your habitation, and shall not sin.
25 You shall know also that your seed shall be great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 You shall come to [and from] your grave in a full age [kelach – this completion], like as a shock of corn [grown ears] comes in [‘alah – rise] in his season.
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear [shama’ – obey] it, and know you it for your good.

Psalms 94
1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs; O God, to whom vengeance belongs, show yourself.
2 Lift up yourself, you judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things [‘athaq – arrogant words]? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless [in the womb].
7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Understand, you brutish among the people: and you fools, when will you be wise?
9 He that planted the ear [to now hear], shall he not hear? he that formed the eye [to now see], shall he not see?
10 He that chastises the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teaches man [‘adam] knowledge, shall not he know?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity [worthless].
12 Blessed is the man whom you chastens, O LORD, and teaches him out of your law;
13 That you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence [not speaking Your word as commanded, singing Your songs with You].
18 When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frame mischief by a law?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off

That which has been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

19 – 23 September 2023

That which has been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

The above, Ecclesiastes 6:10, is referring us to God creating (bara’) man (‘adam) in His image (tselem). Genesis 1:27 tells us He created (bara’) them male (zakar – to remember) and female (nqebah, from naqab, to express or pierce), and collectively called (qara’) their name Adam (‘adam).

The LORD’s image, tselem (see the post of 27 October 2019), is His family (generations), in which He lives in this earth age.

Ecclesiastes 6
1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun [light left in the care of man, those joined as keepers who, through generations, guard and protect the oracles received from God: the church], and it is common among men [‘adam]:
2 A man [‘iysh – an individual] to whom God has given riches [as I have here now], wealth, and honor, so that he wants [chacer – lacks] nothing [“For He has made him a little lower {chacer} than the angels {‘elohiym}, and has crowned him with glory and honor.” Psalms 8:5 and Hebrews 2:7 & 9] for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him not power [shalat – only used eight times, here meaning he is not given the authority to keep it in his mouth only] to eat thereof, but a stranger [‘iysh – another man] eats it [takes it into his mouth where it is then corrupted from the original]: this is vanity, and it is an evil [misleading] disease [that ends in death, where we have all now reached].
3 If a man [‘iysh – this stranger] begets a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good [if he removes some of the original understanding and thereby starts a falling away from God’s word as delivered], and also that he has no burial [if his trespass continues without end]; I say, that an untimely birth [nephel – ending error before it takes hold of the next generation] is better than he. [The word nephel only appears two other times: Job 3:16, where Job calls it a hiding place, and Psalms 58:8, speaking of when the wicked, who from the womb go astray, melt away as an untimely birth.]
4 For he comes in with vanity [worthless words that mislead], and departs in darkness [ignorance of his own straying], and his name [his identity as a misleader] shall be covered with darkness [shall be hidden by his own worthless ignorance].
5 Moreover, he has not seen the sun [the original light], nor known any thing: this [ignorance] has more rest [nachath – causes descent that silences the truth] than the other [increasing as it further strays from the original].
6 Yea, though he [his errors] live a thousand years twice told, yet has he seen no good [never knowing the original as received]: do not all [by this degeneration over time] go to one place [death, where all ‘adam has now arrived]?
7 [For now] All the labor of man [‘adam] is for his mouth [to, with words, gathering into the belly of hell], and yet the appetite is not filled [until he devours all].
8 For what has the wise more than the fool [they are both alike ignorant, dead, and in hell they’ve created]? what has the poor [those without power], that knows to walk before the living [from whom understanding comes by the light, the life, in them]?
9 Better is the sight of the eyes [by which we see the LORD present] than the wandering of the desire [those who are never satisfied]: this [wandering] is also vanity [worthless] and vexation of [r’uwth – striving against the] spirit.
10 That which has been is named already, and it is known that it is man [‘adam]: neither may he [he is not able to] contend [diyn – to strive any longer with, plead with worthless words against, the LORD here unknown in the judgment] with him that is mightier [taqqiyph – only appearing here] than he. [Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive {diyn} with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years {the time until the flood that has come would come}.]
11 Seeing there be many things [dabar – words and matters] that increase vanity [worthlessness], what is man [‘adam] the better?
12 For who knows what is good for man [‘adam] in this life, all the days of his vain [worthless] life which he spends as a shadow [tsel – flesh that blocks the light that is the LORD present alive in us]? for who can tell [nagad – stand boldly against] a man [‘adam] what shall be after [‘achar – in this last end] him under the sun [where the original light should be and now isn’t]?

Friends, I tell you again, this flesh is merely a vehicle we inhabit for a time. It dies while we never do, moving through eternity, not from one life to another, one life that never ends. This truth is the reality all humanity has, as it slept, forgotten.

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 [awakening to their immortality those sleeping in their now dead flesh].
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man [‘adam] is of the earth, earthy; the second man [‘adam – the ‘iysh, to whom this light is first given] 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, 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 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 [the written word that can be altered into corruption].
57 But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation that appears un-corruptible in the flesh speaking and working to restore order].
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the LORD, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain [not worthless] in the LORD.

Psalms 58
1 Do you indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do you judge uprightly, O you sons of men [‘adam]?
2 Yea, in heart [your minds darkened by corruption] you work wickedness; you weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Their poison [the words in their mouths] is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stops her ear [refusing to hear and obey this word of the LORD];
5 Which will not hearken to [shama’ – obey] the voice of charmers, charming [chabar – calling them to join Him] never so wisely [but they refuse to hear and obey].
6 Break their teeth [with which they devour], O God, in their mouth [with which they swallow into the belly of hell]: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 As a snail which melts, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth [nephel] of a woman, that they may not see the sun [this light that has come].
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns [the effects of their misleading], he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees [this is] the [LORD’s] vengeance: he shall wash his feet [of the corruption picked up in our journey] in the blood of the wicked.
11 So that a man shall say, Truly there is a reward for the righteous: truly he is a God that judges in the earth.

Friends, we are those to whom the LORD reveals Himself and our nature: His immortal children dwelling with Him in the flesh. A deeper understanding of this is discovered in the origin of the word taqqiyph, in Ecclesiastes 6:10 above, rendered “mightier,” when speaking of man unable to prevail against God. It is the three times used Hebrew word taqaph, meaning “to overpower:–prevail (against).”

It (taqaph) speaks of what prevailed against us, man {‘adam), without the LORD, not understanding or obeying His good leading, and against which (antagonists) He in us prevails. This is the peace (confident security that He is able, and with Him we are also able) that overcomes the world and gets the victory over death.

You that the LORD knows, hear and obey His word, and rise:

Job 14
1 Man [‘adam – a human] that is born of a woman [‘ishshah; ‘iysh seh – an individual among the flock] is of few days and full of trouble [rogez – agitation that rages in his time].
2 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down: he flees also as a shadow [tsel – one that is a product of a time without light], and continues not.
3 And do you open your eyes upon such a one [caught in such a time], and bring me into judgment with you?
4 Who [except you LORD, by your judgment] can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one [man].
5 Seeing his days are determined [charats – the decreed end], the number of his months are with you, you have appointed his bounds [choq – the appointed time decreed] that he cannot pass [‘abar – that without You he cannot Passover from death into life];
6 Turn from him, that he may rest [sleep in the flesh], till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day [the end when the recompense comes].
7 For [as is ‘adam] there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground [‘aphar – the ashes of the earth’s ruin, from where God created the first and second ‘adam];
9 Yet through the scent of water [perceiving the word of God] it will bud [be quickened to life], and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10 But man [geber – the mighty] dies, and wastes away: yea, man [‘adam] gives up the ghost [gava’ – with his last breath his unknown essence leaves his body], and where is he [no man knows]?
11 As the waters fail from the sea [as the word of God loses its original meaning, and its value is lost in the degeneration through successive generations], and the flood [of men’s corruption] decays and dries [it] up:
12 So man lieth down [sleeps in death unaware], and rises not: till the heavens [all understanding] be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13 O that you would hide me [as You have hidden me] in the grave [sheol – in hell among the sleeping dead], that you would keep me secret, until your wrath be past [and my enemies have become my footstool], that you would appoint [as you have appointed] me a set time [choq – this decreed end], and remember me [zakar, the same {identical} word rendered male in the creation of ‘adam, and the “man child” spoken of in Isaiah 66:7, the passage saying “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 [zakar]. 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.”]!
14 If a man [geber] die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change [chaliyphah– it speaks of changing our outer cover of flesh; only used one other time in Job; see Job 10:17 below] come.
15 You shall call [to awaken me], and I [when I am awakened] will answer you: you will have a desire to the work of your hands [making me in Your image and likeness].
16 For now you number my steps [understanding the corruption picked up along the way]: do you not watch over [shamar – you don’t protect and defend] my sin [the corrupt offering]?
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and you sew up my iniquity [you remove {by uncovering} the things we have put together: forged in Your name].
18 And surely the mountains [the high place of the earth] falling [away from good into evil] comes to naught, and the rock [the worthless governments in which the ignorant trust] is removed out of his place.
19 The waters wear the stones [that seem immovable]: [as] you [LORD] wash away the [corrupt] things which grow out of the dust [ruin] of the earth; and you [LORD] destroy the [worthless] hope of man [‘enowsh – those who choose to remain dead flesh, their promised utopia which is now realized to be hell].
20 You prevail [taqaph] forever against him, and he passes: you change [shanah – duplicate] his countenance [paniym], and send him away [into ignorance of his own presence in hell].
21 His sons come to honor, and he knows it not; and they are brought low, but he perceives it not of them [knowing not that he is them in hell].
22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his [unknown] soul within him shall mourn.

Job 10
1 My soul is weary of [paqat – only appearing here, loathes] my life; I will leave my complaint [siyach – contemplation] upon myself; [in death’s sleep] I will speak in the bitterness [mar] of my soul. [Ecclesiastes 7:26 And I find more bitter {mar} than death the woman {‘ishshah – an individual among the flock}, whose heart {corrupted mind} is snares and nets, and her hands {works} as bands {holding men in hell}: whoso please God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her {forever held in death}.]
2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; show me wherefore you contend with me.
3 Is it good unto you that you shouldest oppress, that you shouldest despise the work of your hands [making me in Your image and likeness], and shine upon [giving me understanding by] the counsel of the wicked?
4 Have you eyes of flesh? or sees you as man sees? [as Job does here, not understand “As I live, says the LORD God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?” Ezekiel 33:11, and 2 Peter 3:9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness {thinking He delays His coming, while they are ignorant of presence among them working and speaking}; 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 {unknown} in the night {in the darkness of men’s ignorance, in which they sleep}; in the which the {corrupt} heavens shall pass away with a great noise {His voice heard but un-comprehended}, and the elements {stoicheion – the corrupt ways and ideas of wicked men} shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.]
5 Are your days [of ignorance] as the days of man [‘enowsh – those who choose to remain dead]? are your years as man’s [geber – the mighty of the world who are ignorant of] days,
6 That you enquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
7 You know that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of your hand.
8 Your hands have made me and fashioned me together round about [from the ruin of the previous age]; yet you do destroy me [Job, God’s sleeping people who are hated in by the world, still not understanding these are the refining fires in which all realized the fall and where it has led, and will, once they see again, enshrine into maxim].
9 Remember, I beseech you, that you have made me as the clay; and will you bring me into dust again [again, God’s people in ignorance not knowing they brought themselves into this ruin, from where, when they to it awaken, He will create them anew]?
10 Have you not poured me out as milk [taught me these things that awaken me], and curdled me like cheese [bringing these ideas together into a firm foundation]?
11 You have [again] clothed me with skin and flesh, and have fenced me with bones and sinews.
12 You have granted me life and favor, and your visitation [pquddah – appearing as the Chief Overseer of the earth to restore order] has preserved [shamar – guarded and protected] my spirit.
13 And these things have you hid in your heart [in the Mind of God only]: I know that this is with you.
14 If I sin, then you mark me, and you will not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head [with pride, knowing the work correcting me is Yours]. I am full of confusion; therefore see you my affliction;
16 For it increases. You hunt me as a fierce lion: and again you show yourself marvelous upon me [opening my eyes to see You].
17 You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation upon me; changes [chaliyphah – into my new flesh] and [the necessary] war are against me [to prevail against corruption and quicken into life again those thereby exercised].
18 Wherefore then have you brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave [again].
20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.

Hebrews 12
11 Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the LORD:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau [as the enemies mixed among us], who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For you know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
18 For you are not come [as the enemies have] unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel [whose blood spoke from the earth].
25 See that you refuse not him that speak. 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:
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.

The other two times the word taqaph appears are in Job 15:24 and Ecclesiastes 4:12. In the first of these, it comes in words spoken by Eliphaz the Temanite, names meaning his god is gold (he serves his lust for worldly wealth) and is one of the so-called wise men of the world. He is one of Job’s three (falsely so-called) friends through whom Satan works. Their work is false accusations, with which they openly (before the eyes of a now awakened world) describe and condemn themselves (of which they are ignorant).

Job 15
1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said [as the false accusers now falsely accuse this word of God],
2 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind [and devour the work of God with His open mouth]?
3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4 Yea, you cast off [the] fear [of God], and restrain prayer [siychah – contemplation of] before [paniym – the presence of] God.
5 For your mouth utters your iniquity [evil misleading], and you choose [to follow] the tongue of the crafty [‘aruwm – the “subtlety” of the serpent in Genesis 3:1].
6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I: yea, your own lips testify against you.
7 Are you the first man that was born? or were you made before the hills?
8 Have you heard the secret of God? and do you restrain wisdom to yourself?
9 What know you, that we know not? what understand you, which is not in us?
10 With us are both the gray-headed and very aged men, much elder than your father.
11 Are the consolations of God small with you? is there any secret thing with you?
12 Why does your heart carry you away? and what do your eyes wink at,
13 That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
14 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15 Behold, he [the LORD] puts no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
16 How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinks iniquity like water?
17 I will show you, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20 The wicked man travails with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21 A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22 He believes not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
23 He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knows that the day of darkness is ready [already] at his hand.
24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail [taqaph] against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25 For he stretch out his hand against God [as Satan in these accusers is], and strengthens himself against the Almighty.
26 He run upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses [eminent places] of his bucklers [that are His shield]:
27 Because he [Satan] covers his face [paniym – presence] with his fatness [in these men’s prospering by evil], and makes collops of fat [their abundance] on [covers] his flanks.
28 And he dwells [prosperously] in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabits [where none will remain], which are ready to become heaps.
29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance [his strength, which is deception, beginning subtle and now openly] continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection [minleh – only appearing here, meaning completion; of his goal to destroy humanity by making it in his, Satan’s, image and likeness: the opposition to God’s work: it’s opposite] thereof upon the earth.
30 He shall not depart out of darkness [ignorance]; the flame [of the fires they created] shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth [the evil spirit in his words] shall he go away.
31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity [his worthless thoughts]: for vanity [worthlessness] shall be his recompense.
32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green [shall not bring any life].
33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
34 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepares [to vomit] deceit [from their mouths].

The word minleh (to this point wondered at), above in verse 29, is from an also once used word, nalah, also meaning “to complete:–make an end.” Its one appearance comes in Isaiah 33:1 as the LORD there speaks of the end of this “treachery,” from the word bagad, speaking of Satan’s work, meaning “to cover (with a garment); figuratively, to act covertly; by implication, to pillage.” This latter word refers us back to its only appearance in Job, in Job 6:15, where it’s a third witness (the word as a threefold cord – the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as one) that it’s Satan working through the false accusations of Job’s three friends, who he there also calls his brethren.

Isaiah 33
1 Woe to you that spoil, and you were not spoiled; and deal treacherously [bagad], and they dealt not treacherously [bagad] with you! when you shall cease to spoil, you shall be spoiled; and when you shall make an end [nalah] to deal treacherously [bagad], they shall deal treacherously [bagad] with you.
2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for you: be you their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble [tsarah – this tribulation].
3 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of yourself the nations were scattered.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwells on high: he has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of [deception, falsely claiming we are at] peace shall weep bitterly.
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceases: he has broken the covenant [between God and man], he has despised the cities, he regards no man.
9 The earth mourns and languishes: Lebanon [the place where purity should be seen on high] is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon [where understanding was before in plain sight] is like a wilderness; and Bashan [the fruitfulness] and Carmel [in this land that was before like a well-tended garden] shake off their fruits.
10 Now will I rise, says the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 You shall conceive chaff, you shall bring forth stubble: your breath [the evil spirit in the wicked opposing Me], as fire, shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns [these men whose power is to mislead] cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Hear, you that are far off, what I have done; and, you that are near, acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 He that walketh righteously, and speaks uprightly; he that despises the gain of oppressions, that shakes his hands from holding of bribes [I see you Brandon, and I see all your fellow extortioners], that stops his ears from hearing of blood [the false accusation meant to destroy the innocent who oppose you and your evil ilk], and [all while he] shut his eyes from seeing evil;
16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
17 Your eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
18 Your heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 You shall not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech [speaking this word of God] than you can perceive [because it is the word of God you reject]; of a stammering tongue [a foreign language, truth you don’t speak], that you can not understand.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: your eyes shall see [New Heavenly] Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
21 But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams [through which His teaching flows into the sea: the people at large]; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby [none of the corrupt and corrupting institutions of church and state now in power over the sea].
22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king [from whom these things flow]; he will save us.
23 Your tackling are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail [nec – could not bring forth the son of man, the voice now exalted, spreading the LORD’s Spirit upon all]: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
24 And the inhabitants [abiding in Him] shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

Job 6
13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me? [God’s hated people should understand they have received this help.]
14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shown from his friend [friends]; but he [they] forsake the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully [bagad – treacherously] as a brook [whose corrupt waters have flowed into the sea], and as the stream of brooks [dried up] they pass away;
16 Which are blackish [full of ignorance] by reason of the ice [the word of God frozen, reserved for this moment], and wherein the snow is hid [in the cloud where the elements of understanding were reserved after they left the earth]:
17 What time they wax warm [and the word reserved therein the snow and ice flow as waters from heaven], they [the words that flow from the wicked] vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed [dried up] out of their place.
18 The paths of their [corrupt] way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
19 The troops of Tema [the wise] looked, the companies of Sheba [who’ve taken oaths to serve the LORD] waited for them.
20 They were confounded because they had hoped [in their own creations]; they came thither, and were ashamed [disappointed because the end they promised wasn’t the true end the LORD promised].
21 For now you are nothing; you see my casting down, and are afraid.
22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 How forcible are right words! but what does your arguing reprove?
26 Do you imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
27 Yea, you overwhelm the fatherless, and you dig a pit for your friend.
28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue [speaking the word the LORD has given me]? cannot my taste discern [your] perverse things?

Ecclesiastes 4
1 So I returned [from death], and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter [no man teaching them into all truth, leading them from the dead to join me in life]; and on the side of their oppressors there was power [to deceive and hold men in death]; but they had no comforter.
2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living [who’ve already awakened to everlasting contempt, who know they are here to do the work of Satan and willingly do it] which are yet alive.
3 Yea, better is he than both they, which has not yet been [born again], who has not seen [realized] the evil work that is done under the sun.
4 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
5 The fool [not knowing this time] folds his hands together [not working with me], and [in his ignorance and sloth] eats his own flesh.
6 Better is a handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
8 There is one [alive from the dead doing the LORD’s will] alone, and there is not a second; yea, he has neither child nor brother: yet is there no end [qets] of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither says he, For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he has not another to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevails [taqaph] against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken [the LORD in me unknown, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as ONE].
13 Better is a poor [micken – only used here and three time in Ecclesiastes 9:15 & 16; meaning without worldly power, who in the end is realized to be the true king] and a wise child [yeled] than an old and foolish king [as is feeble Brandon], who will no more be admonished.
14 For out of prison [‘acar – with this yoke] he comes to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom [joined, yoked, with him] becometh poor [ruwsh – destitute of understanding].
15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child [yeled – the wise child who is sent to deliver out of the hand of the wicked] that shall stand up [‘amad – as Michael, who is the image and likeness of God] in his stead [against the wicked and feeble king].
16 There is no end [qets] of [the lives of] all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after [Solomon – in these last days of darkness: ignorance] shall not rejoice [samach – be brightened] in him [in the wise child]. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecclesiastes 9
10 Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave [sheol – in hell where all the dead are housed], whither you go [and now “find” yourselves].
11 I returned [to a right mind], and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance [pega’ – occurrence, in which humanity finds itself] happens to them all [here in hell, in the death warned of in Genesis 2:17].
12 For man [‘adam] 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 falleth suddenly [pith’own – this is the epiphany, the moment of realizing the reality we find ourselves in] upon them.
13 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:
14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
15 Now there was found in it a poor [micken] wise man [‘adam], and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered [zakar] that same poor [micken] man [‘iysh].
16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor [micken] man’s wisdom is despised [among the dead], and his words are not heard [because the language of the dead is lies: deception, confusion, and insanity wherefore the dead are unable to distinguish between their delusions and this reality].
17 The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that rule among fools.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner [whose voice is exalted] destroys much good.

Fiends, the few of you who will read this far, the world doesn’t believe in God and, therefore, can’t comprehend this as reality. They will see these words as those of one using masterfully arranged creations to deceive and manipulate people, as they do with their lies and deceptions. They have no idea I Am not alone and that the Creator of all is truly alive in Me doing the work, present to save His people as promised. There is only one way this ends: with the creation of a new earth built upon the ruin of the old and corrupt.

John 8
25 Then said they unto him, Who are you? And Jesus says unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27 They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father [alive in me].
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
31 Then said Jesus to those [Christians and] Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed;
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 14
10 Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he does the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
12 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever you shall ask in my name [in my identity, manifesting My presence in you], that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you shall ask any thing in my name [in my identity], I will do it.
15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter [the Paraclete, I Am in me], that he may abide with you forever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him [because I Am a poor man: without worldly power]: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me [My identity now manifested in these words and works]: because I live, you shall live also.
20 At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

John 16
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb.
30 Now are we sure that you know all things, and need not that any man should ask you: by this we believe that you came forth from God.
31 Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?
32 Behold, the hour comes, yea, is now come, that you shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

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 of the LORD so comes as a thief [unknown to the ignorant] in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety [not acknowledging the war at hand]; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child [the son of man waiting patiently until Christ is formed, born from the dead, in you]; and they shall not escape.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, 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 a 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.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them [that it is the LORD in us doing the work] which labor among you, and are over you in the LORD, and admonish you;
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

Psalms 147
1 Praise you the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 The LORD does build up [New Heavenly] Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4 He tells the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our LORD, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The LORD lifts up the meek: he casts the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covers the heaven [full understanding] with clouds, who prepares rain [from where He sends His word giving understanding] for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains [giving life to the earth through those He exalts by His word].
9 He gives to the beast [those without His Spirit and life] his food, and to the young ravens [those covered in darkness: ignorance] which cry.
10 He delights not in the strength of the horse [those who say they can carry the burden of the world]: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the LORD, O [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [My people in whom I dwell]; praise your God, O Zion.
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.
14 He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends forth his commandment upon earth: his word runs very swiftly.
16 He gives snow like wool: he scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold [when His word remains reserved with Him at His throne]?
18 He sends out his word, and melts them [sending His word upon all]: he causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow [and His Spirit moves upon them bringing light, understanding, again to the earth].
19 He shows his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20 He has not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise you the LORD.

Psalms 137
1 By the rivers of Babylon [the waters of confusion], there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4 How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a strange land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6 If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom [the enemies mixed among us at war with us] in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it [destroy it to the ground], raze it, even to the foundation thereof.
8 O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewards you as you have served us.
9 Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones [created in your evil image and likeness] against the stones [the Rock of our Salvation].

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

15 – 18 September 2023

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

The LORD began today in the following passage of Ecclesiastes.

Ecclesiastes 1
3 What profit has a man of all his labor which he taketh under the sun?
4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes: but the earth abides forever.
5 The sun also arises [giving light to the earth], and the sun goes down, and [understanding] hastes to his place [with the LORD] where he arose.
6 The wind goes toward the south [His Spirit moves upon those looking for the light to return], and turns about unto the north [and man being impatient looks to the place of darkness for it]; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to his circuits [when the end of this darkness and agitation meets the beginning and the true light comes].
7 All the rivers [the words of God and man] run into the sea [humanity at large]; yet the sea is not full [male’ – used once later, in Ecclesiastes 11:5, telling of the child unborn, saying “As you know not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so you know not the works of God who makes all.” It is here speaking of not establishing the difference in the value of God’s word over man’s – and therefore the birth doesn’t come]; [because this distinction isn’t made,] unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither [light to light and darkness to darkness] they return again.
[Ecclesiastes 11: 6 In the morning {when the light is present} sow your seed, and in the evening {you see the coming darkness} withhold not your hand {continue in this work of sowing}: for you know not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike {producing} good. 7 Truly the light {understanding} is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun {the light when it comes}: 8 But if a man lives {by seeing the light} many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness {the ways of ignorance that bring the shadow of death upon the earth}; for they shall be many. All that comes {when those born by the light forget the ways of darkness} is vanity {worthless}. 9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth; and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth {acting childish and regarding childish thing}, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes: but {if you fail to put these things away and, therefore, never grow into men} know you, that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.]
8 All things are full of labor; man cannot utter it [but God brings it to light, so they understand what they are experiencing]: the eye [of incorrigible children] is not satisfied with seeing [His presence in it], nor the ear filled with hearing [the voice of God].
9 The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it has been already of old time, which was before us. [These are the circuits of the ages before us, the beginnings and ends of light and darkness. They are the law of the natural man, until he is born again a spiritual man learned to put away childish things.]
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail has God given to the sons of man to be exercised [work out the propensity for evil] therewith.
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with my own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience [by which I learned] of wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I gave my heart to know [understand] wisdom, and to know [to understand] madness [the insanity of man] and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit [because the work is endless and some men, the insane rejecting reality, will never learn, even when experiencing its effects, instead choosing the darkness, because their deeds are evil].
18 For in much wisdom is much grief [knowing that men choose to destroy themselves rather than change their minds]: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.

The title speaks of the time when evil men and nations, because of enmity, cross the line of self-destruction into the destruction of all good around them. These are the times we (those who understand: who now see it in the experience, after hearing it from the mouth of God) live in.

There are those who are offended by my saying I hate (evil and those by it willingly possessed) with a perfect hatred and count these enemies of God, the enemies of all good, as my enemies. These same (offended) men, joined in the confederacy of ignorance (in Babylon), are not offended at all by evil, but yet are (offended) by God and the good He is, through us, working and speaking.

The words rendered “perfect hatred,” in Psalms 139:22, are takliyth sin’ah, the first used five times and the other seventeen times. The word there rendered “hate” is sane’; here referring us to God’s (falsely so-called) hate manifest through us, hating those who hate God. (True hate is having the good the world needs and refusing to give it to those in need – the opposite of charity: agape. Evil is replacing good with deception and manipulation to mislead the needy into following you into self-destruction.)

The word sane’ is said to be a primitive root; without derivation given. Its deep affinity is to two, almost identical, words; the three times used shana’, meaning to alter, and the word shena’ (shanah), meaning sleep. These words speak of those who (putting themselves in God’s place, the sons of perdition who replace good with evil) altered the meaning of God’s word (now all truth) as delivered and thereby cause the long deep sleep of God’s people.

Psalms 139
14 I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.
15 My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are your thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you.
19 Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, you bloody men.
20 For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them [do not I appear to them as one asleep and that alters You], O LORD, that hate you [that altered You and therefore sleep]? and am not I grieved with [quwt – a six times used word meaning cut off, from] those that rise up [from their sleep] against you?
22 I hate them [I oppose those who have altered You and remain asleep] them with perfect [takliyth] hatred [sin’ah]: I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalms 95
1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today if you will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years [a symbolic time of wandering in the wilderness] long was I grieved with [quwt – cut off from – see Daniel 9:26 below] this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 Unto whom I swore in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Daniel 9
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off [from sight, from the eye], but not for [from] himself: and the people of the prince [the wicked in power in this time of blindness] that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood [see Psalms 90:5 below; this is what puts humanity to sleep], and unto the end [qets] of the war desolations are determined [charats].
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation [kalah], and that determined [charats] shall be poured upon the desolate.

Psalms 90
1 LORD, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3 You turn man to destruction; and sayest, Return, you children of men.
4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 You carry them away as with a flood [of men’s words that alter all understanding]; they are as a sleep [shanah]: in the morning [when light comes] they are like grass which grows up.
6 In the morning it flourish, and grows up; in the evening [when light departs] it is cut down, and wither.
7 For we are consumed by your anger, and by your wrath are we troubled.
8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your countenance [understanding that comes by Your presence].
9 For all our days are passed away in your wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
10 The days of our years [shaneh – the time of our sleep that comes from altering the LORD] are threescore years and ten [the time of our foretold desolation, in Babylon and beyond Damascus {where the works is stopped and we are in silence and sorrow}]; and if by reason of strength [our relying on our own understanding and not receiving Your correction] they be fourscore years, yet is their strength [in their understanding, which is worthless, they] labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly [flee] away.
11 Who knows the power of your anger? even according to your fear, so is your wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent you concerning your servants.
14 O satisfy us early with your mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein you have afflicted us [and in the experience, we understood and were corrected], and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Let your work appear unto your servants, and your glory unto their children.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish you the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish you it.

Acts 7
30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him [while he was wandering] in the wilderness of mount Sina [in Hebrew Ciynay – said to be of an uncertain derivation, while spiritually referring to sin’ah] an angel of the LORD in a flame of fire in a bush.
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him,
32 Saying, I Am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
33 Then said the LORD to him, Put off your shoes from your feet: for the place [in the LORD’s manifested presence] where you stand is holy ground.
34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt [as here and now; oppressed by tyrants], and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you into Egypt [as the LORD has sent me].
35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel [the manifestation of the LORD’s presence in His word] which appeared to him in the bush [which burned but never burnt up].
36 He brought them out, after that he had shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years [while the people at large wandered and wondered at what they had and were experiencing].
37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the LORD your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me [who I Am]; him shall you hear [obey – akouo, see Luke 8 below].
38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spoke to him in the mount Sina [sin’ah – while you remained in your deep sleep of ignorance that result from those who changed to LORD into something unrecognizable], and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles [His life-giving word that awakens us to life] to give unto us [in need]:
39 To whom our fathers would not obey [as almost all have now], but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt [the bondage of sin’ah],
40 Saying unto Aaron [the self-professed light givers among you], Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
41 And they made a calf in those days [which they put in the LORD’s place and called their gods], and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands [as men now do, commending themselves among themselves, for their consensus of ignorance and deception].
42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship [serve] the host of heaven [those in places where understanding should be, but is replaced with agenda-driven opinion and evil consensus]; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O you house of Israel, have you offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
43 Yea, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch [your evil king, who you serve by offering your children in his fires, now destroying them (your children) mind and body], and the star of your god Remphan [those who stand in the LORD’s place], figures which you made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon [quoted from Amos 5:27 where it is “beyond Damascus,” thereby telling us beyond Babylon, confusion, the work of the LORD through His people is ended and they sit silent in sorrow {demascus, in Amos 5, were we are told “Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness {a time of ignorance}, and not light {without understanding}? even very dark, and no brightness {no light coming through His people speaking His word} in it?”].
44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen [spiritually speaking of this word, meant to be given, to those in need, as received].
45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus [Joshua – Jehovah’s Salvation manifest in the flesh of His perpetual son {of Nun}] into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
46 Who found favor before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
48 Howbeit the Most High dwells not in temples made with hands [but rather He dwells in the flesh of His children]; as says the prophet,
49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will you build me? says the LORD: or what is the place of my rest?
50 Has not my hand made all these things?
51 You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears [flesh covering what you should hear and see], you do always resist the Holy Ghost [the LORD, who you don’t know, speaking and working among you in the flesh of those who obey and keep His word]: 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; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers:
53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels [the messengers God sends], and have not kept it.

Luke 8
17 For nothing is secret [kruptos – cryptic, concealed], that shall not be made manifest [phaneros – shinning: appearing {as the light of the candle}]; neither any thing hid [apokruphos – taken away by covering the shinning], that shall not be known and come [erchomai – ereo chraomai: through uttering things needed] abroad [eis phaneros – among you shinning].
18 Take heed [blepo – regard, obey] therefore how you hear [akouo – see verses 21 & 25 below]: for whosoever has, to him shall be given; and whosoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
20 And it was told him by certain which said, Your mother and your brethren stand without, desiring to see you.
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear [akouo] the word of God, and do it.
22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he [His understanding given to them was altered, and His ONE BODY] fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master [Teacher], master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commands even the winds and water, and they obey [hupakouo – are under, subordinate to, what is heard from] him.
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes [“the reward at the end”], which is over against [on the other side of] Galilee [for the inner circle, who here crossed from death into life in the new heaven on earth].

Amos 5
1 Hear you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
3 For thus says the LORD God; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave a hundred, and that which went forth by a hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
4 For thus says the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek you me, and you shall live:
5 But seek not Bethel [the house of God, where idols sit in His place preaching and teaching their own words and ways], nor enter into Gilgal [where the waters are always agitated and boiling], and pass not to Beersheba [the seven wells: the churches where the word of God is corrupted]: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to naught.
6 Seek the LORD, and you shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph [Ephraim, God’s people in this generation], and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
7 You who turn [changed] judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
8 Seek him that makes the seven stars and Orion [kciyl – giving light again to the foolish], and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night [by revealing the ignorance of all humanity]: that calls for the waters of the sea [this word to be sent to them all, for they are all in need], and pour them out upon the face of [all humanity now present on] the earth: The LORD is his name:
9 That strengthens the spoiled [with His wisdom and understanding] against the strong [the tyrants in power], so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress [the strongholds of the wicked: deceptions that induce confusion and ignorance, which have now turned into the mass insanity of those hearing and obeying them].
10 They hate him that rebukes in the gate [between heaven and hell], and they abhor him that speaks uprightly.
11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor [those without power], and you take from him burdens of wheat: you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink wine of them.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe [I see you Brandon], and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time [not speaking your own words and ways, the corrupt elements {stoicheion} of the world they made without form and void, which melt way in the fires these same corrupt words and ways have caused]; for it is an evil time.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken [when your mouths are opened speaking His word the world needs].
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
16 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, says thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman [the keepers of the earth, those who’ve diligently sought the LORD] to mourning, and such as are skillful of lamentation to wailing.
17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through you, says the LORD.
18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness [a time when all are ignorant of Him], and not light.
19 As if a man did flee from a lion [those devouring them], and a bear met him [to others that devour them]; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall [trusted in the protection therein promised], and a serpent bit him [the venomous words there misled them into death].
20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22 Though you offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Take you away from me the noise of your songs [your corrupt words you repeat with those misleading you]; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.
24 But let [this] judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25 Have you offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years [now wandering without understanding], O house of Israel?
26 But you have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts [the commander of the army of light].

The word husbandmen, above in Amos, from the seven times used word ‘ikkar, meaning “to dig,” is very specifically used to refer us to its uses in Jeremiah 14:4.

Jeremiah 14
1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth [batstoreth – speaking of not trusting this word as the LORD’s – only used elsewhere in Jeremiah 17:8, the passage saying “7 Blessed is the man that trusts in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought {batstsoreth}, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.”].
2 Judah [the corrupt crop of misleaders] mourns, and the gates [their corrupt preaching and teaching the ways out of hell into heaven] thereof languish; they are black unto the ground [‘erets – their words and way have brought ignorance of God’s upon the earth]; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up [the cries for help have been heard by the LORD in heaven].
3 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters [their words and ways]: they came to the [slime] pits, and found no water [instead they found mire]; they returned with their vessels empty; they were [are] ashamed and confounded [they are confused and not able to reach the end they promised], and covered their heads [they choose to remain ignorant].
4 Because the ground is chapt [because they refuse to accept this latter rain, this word as the word sent from heaven], for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen [‘ikkar] were ashamed, they covered their heads.
5 Yea, the hind also calved in the field [the children they produce], and forsook it [like these misleaders, they refuse this word of the LORD], because there was no grass [nothing in them that produced life on the earth].
6 And the wild asses [unaccustomed to carrying this word of God] did stand in the high places [preaching, teaching, misleading], they snuffed up the wind like dragons [they continued devouring with their open mouths]; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass [no life in them].
7 O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do you it for your name’s sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against you.
8 O the hope of Israel, the savior thereof in time of trouble [tsarah – this time of tribulation that is upon us, of which all are ignorant because of the corrupt preaching and teaching that has filled their minds with fiction], [the following are questions just answered] why should you be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring [‘achar – here in the last days unknown] man that turns aside to tarry for a night?
9 Why shouldest you be as a man astonished, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet you, O LORD, are in the midst of us [of which all are unaware], and we are called by your name; leave us not.
10 Thus says the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander [into apostasy, standing among the dead, away from Me because they say they are holier than I Am], they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD does not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit [paqad – come as He has, as the Chief Overseer of the earth] their sins [to reset the good foundations of the earth].
11 Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people [who refuse to know Me] for their good [because they choose to remain in darkness, because the deeds are evil].
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword [the word from My mouth that should be for their health and cure], and by the famine [refusing this word], and by the pestilence [the dis-ease their rejection produces].
13 Then said I, Ah, LORD God! behold, the prophets say unto them, You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of naught, and the deceit of their heart [creation from their own evil minds].
15 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.

The only other time the Greek word Sina [said to mean thorny – the place of misleaders, those that overgrew the earth left in man’s care] is mentioned is in Galatians 4:24 & 25, there speaking of those who return to the same false teaching and preaching that produced the tribulation. Remember, this (Sina) speaks of a time of sleep in the ignorance produced by the same corrupt preaching and teaching (elements) that changed God into a false image.

Romans 1
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has shown it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed [allasso – the change that must be reversed, the mystery spoken of in 1 Corinthians 15:51 & 52, that comes “at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed {allasso}.” Verse 54 saying it is “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.”] the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature [their creations] more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Galatians 4
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child [refusing to put away childish things], differs nothing from a servant, though he be LORD of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements [stoicheion – the same element Peter tells us, in 2 Peter 3, melt away, and of which he asks the question, “what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation {repeating this word as received} and godliness {manifesting the presence of God in your flesh, to those in need”] of the world: [1 Timothy 3: 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was {is} manifest in the {word become} flesh, justified in the Spirit {while unknown}, seen of angels {those who become His messengers}, preached unto the Gentiles {those who don’t yet know Him}, believed on in the world, received up into glory {realized to be His presence}.]
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore you are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8 Howbeit then, when you knew not God [as He worked among you as the Holy Ghost leading you into all truth], you did service unto [served] them which by nature are no gods.
9 But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements [stoicheion], whereunto you desire again to be in bondage?
10 You observe [you see very plainly these] days, and months, and times, and years.
11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain.
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I Am; for I Am as you are: you have not injured me at all.
13 You know how through infirmity [weakness showing the power in me is the LORD] of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
14 And my temptation which was in my flesh you despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel [the messenger] of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15 Where is then the [now corrupt] blessedness you spoke of [justification by faith without the purification, holiness, by the law]? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, you [thinking I was unable to see this] would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth [that your changing this meaning, making it an idol, keeps you from the perfection that comes with obeying the mouth of the LORD speaking, giving you understanding and showing you the high way]?
17 They [the corruptors] zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you [for your mind changed from their corruption], that you might affect them [by the LORD speaking this understanding through you].
18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change [allasso] my voice; for I stand in doubt of you [seeing you now doubt Christ is in me teaching you until He is formed in you].
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman [eleutheros].
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman [eleutheros] was by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai [among thorns – misleaders and deceivers], which genders to bondage, which is Agar [flight – who say you will fly away].
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is [which is also spiritually called Sodom and Egypt: in the flames of oppression], and is in bondage [taught by misleaders and deceivers] with her children.
26 But Jerusalem [who are taught by the LORD] which is above is free [eleutheros – by knowing the truth], which is the mother [the Church Universal] of us all.
27 For it is written [in Isaiah 54:1], Rejoice, you barren that bears [tikto] not; break forth and cry, you that travail not: for the desolate has many more children than she which has a husband [the Father who has travailed {referring to Isaiah 53:11} for you, to bring forth the man child who is to rule all nations with a rod of iron].
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh [God’s still sleeping people, remaining in ignorance] persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what says the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman [eleutheros].
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free [eleutheros – who the son has made free by giving God’s gift of truth].

Galatians 5
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty [eleutheria] wherewith Christ has made us free [elutheroo], and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage [without the liberty that comes with hearing and obeying the voice of the Father, and fulfilling the law].

13 For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty [eleutheria]; only use not liberty [eleutheria] for an occasion to the flesh, but by love [agape – give these treasures as given] serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; You shall love [agapao – give this word as given] your neighbor as yourself.
15 But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you be not consumed one of another [as in the camp where the serpents were, against which the son of man is lifted as Moses lifted the fiery brazen serpent in the wilderness – see Numbers 21:8 and John 3:14 & 15].
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would.
18 But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law.

The “change” is described in the (five) uses of the takliyth and the once used [same meaning] word tiklah, both from the word kalah, which we well know means the full end. In these uses it’s spiritually speaking of the complete restoration of what (the knowledge and understanding of God) men altered (eating from the forbidden tree, reversing good and evil) and thereby brought upon all humanity the long deep sleep (the death warned of in Genesis 2:17) we now experience as confusion and mass insanity (here in hell) under the corrupt elements now ruling the world.

Psalms 119
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not your precepts.
88 Quicken [from death into life] me after your lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of your mouth.
89 Forever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven.
90 Your faithfulness is unto all generations: you have established the earth, and it abides.
91 They continue this day according to your ordinances: for all are your servants.
92 Unless your law had been my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget your precepts: for with them you have quickened me.
94 I am yours, save me: for I have sought your precepts.
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider your testimonies.
96 I have seen an end [qets] of all perfection [tiklah]: but your commandment is exceeding broad.
97 O how love I your law! it is my meditation all the day.
98 You through your commandments have made me wiser than my enemies: for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for your testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep your precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep your word.
102 I have not departed from your judgments: for you have taught me.
103 How sweet are your words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through your precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate [sane’] every false way [understanding them to be what change understanding into darkness and cause the sleep therein].
105 Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path [giving me understanding of the way You lead me out of hell].
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep your righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me [out of death into life], O LORD, according unto your word.
108 Accept, I beseech you, the freewill offerings of my mouth [as I publish and speak the words You have given me], O LORD, and teach me your judgments.
109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget your law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from your precepts.
111 Your testimonies have I taken as a heritage forever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform your statutes always, even unto the end.
113 I hate [sane’] vain thoughts: but your law do I love.
114 You are my hiding place and my shield: I hope in your word.
115 Depart from me, you evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

Nehemiah 3
9 And next to him repaired Ezer [these treasures restored] the son of Jeshua [Yeshuwa’ – Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh of His perpetual son], the ruler of Mizpah [the watchtower, who is the Chief Overseer of the earth], another piece over against the going up to the armory [who is raised with these weapons] at the turning of the wall [changing, returning our protection].
20 After him Baruch [those by this blessed] the son of Zabbai [restoring “purity” to God’s word] earnestly repaired the other piece [of our protection], from the turning of the wall unto the door [brought the entry] of the house of Eliashib [God restored] the high priest.
21 After him repaired Meremoth [elevated – raised into heaven by] the son of Urijah [the flame, light, of Jehovah] the son of Koz [thorns – against the misleaders among us] another piece, from the door of [the entry into] the house of Eliashib [God restores] even to the end [takliyth – the full end in perfection] of the house of Eliashib [God has restored].
22 And after him repaired the priests [by giving this understanding], [to] the men of the plain [those to whom the LORD plainly reveals His presence].

Job 26
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds [the elements of understanding therein suspended]; and the cloud is not rent under them [they remain reserved there until the LORD, in His time, sends them].
9 He holds back [achaz’ – covers] the face [paniym – the presence] of his throne, and spreads [parshez – only appears here, meaning His throne is the place where He holds the separated elements] his cloud upon it.
10 He has compassed [choq chuwg – decrees the full circle: where the end meets the beginning again] the waters with bounds [in His word], until the day [light] and night [dakness] come to an end [takliyth – the completion: in perfection].
11 The pillars of heaven tremble [so corruption is from there removed] and are astonished [tamahh – wonder marvelously] at his reproof [correction].
12 He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smites through the proud.
13 By his spirit he has garnished the heavens [filling it again with His light]; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him [men still refusing to declare His presence manifested in His way, which they, seeing them, still wonder and are dumbfounded]? but the thunder [the voice of the light] of his power who can understand?

Job 28
1 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone [there are treasures hidden in the earth, supernaturally engineered into this word of God, that must be dug up, diligently searched for, and when found refined to remove impurities: the corruption from being present in the earth where they were hidden].
3 He sets an end [qets] to darkness, and [diligently] searches out all perfection [takliyth]: the stones of darkness [ignorance wherein these treasures are held], and the shadow of death [ignorance of them casts].
4 The flood breaks out from the inhabitant [of darkness]; [corrupting] even the waters [the present word of God] forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they [with understanding] are gone away from men.
5 As for the earth, out of it comes bread [the ways and ideas made by men]: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires [treasures hidden in these stones]: and it has dust of [‘aphar – in the ashes of the earth’s ruin is hidden] gold.
7 There is a path which no fowl knows, and which the vulture’s eye has not seen:
8 The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
9 He [the LORD who only knows this path] puts forth his hand upon the rock [making these treasures flow]; he overturns the mountains [the corrupt high place of the earth] by the roots.
10 He cuts out rivers among the rocks [from where these waters flow]; and his eye sees every precious thing [the treasures therein hidden].
11 He binds the floods [of men’s corrupt words and ways] from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light [understanding].
12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
13 Man knows not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14 The depth says, It is not in me: and the sea 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 shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20 Whence then comes wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept closed from the fowls of the air.
22 Destruction and death [where the LORD sends wisdom and understanding] say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23 [Only] God understands the way thereof, and he knows the place thereof.
24 For he looks to the ends of the earth [the full circle, when the end meets the beginning again], and sees under the whole heaven [full understanding];
25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weighs the waters by measure.
26 When he made a decree [choq – as in Job 26:10 above] for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder [understanding and its voice]:
27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

The other use of the word takliyth, in Job, comes in Job 11:7, as one of Job’s friends, while falsely accusing Job, ignorantly tells of his own (so-called) understanding, in which he is ignorantly condemning himself.

John 16
8 And when he [the Paraclete] is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me [that I Am speaking through him];
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more [until you see me again, the Father alive in me];
11 Of judgment, because the prince [those who misled into ignorance of My presence] of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear [from Me], that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine [treasures], and shall show it unto you.
15 All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.
16 A little while, and you shall [because of the misleading of the powers, princes, of this world] not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father.

32 Behold, the hour comes, yea, is now come, that you shall be scattered, every man to his own [ways and ideas, opinions with which you replace knowledge], and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me [I Am not cut off from myself].
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the [powers of the] world.

Job 11
1 Then answered Zophar [departing, representing those who’ve changed the knowledge of God, while ignorantly thinking they have perfect understanding] the Naamathite [meaning their agreement, with others lost in error, makes them outwardly appear pleasant], and said,
2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
3 Should your lies [the false accusation against this word from the mouth of God] make men hold their peace? and when you mock [la’ag – laugh at our worthless ignorance], shall no man make you ashamed [by our {ignorant} answers disappoint you, so you are unable to reach your expected end, when our darkness is overcome by light]?
4 For you have said, My doctrine [leqach – received instruction] is pure, and I am clean in your eyes.
5 But oh that God would speak [as He has against them by their own words, of which these false accusers are ignorant], and open his lips against you [as He has with your own mouths, drawing you into open light, showing Satan, the false accuser, is the spirit possessing you as you do his work];
6 And that he would show you the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
7 Can you by searching find out God? can you find out the Almighty unto perfection [takliyth] [which only He reveals to those He calls and chooses]?
8 It is as high as heaven; what can you do? deeper than hell; what can you know?
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together [understanding to Himself only], then who can hinder him [shuwb – who can return it without His revelation]?
11 For he knows vain men [their thoughts are worthless]: he sees wickedness also [of which they themselves are ignorant]; will he not then consider [biyn – understand] it?
12 For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt [ignorantly wandering in the wildness].
13 If you prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward him;
14 If iniquity be in your hand [as it is in the work of the false accusers], put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tabernacles.
15 For then shall you lift up your face [nasa’ paniym – then shall you understand you are in the LORD’s presence] without spot; yea, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
16 Because you shall forget your misery, and remember it as waters that pass away [‘abar – words away from which you Passover from death into life]:
17 And your age [cheled – new age of this world] shall be clearer than the noonday [when understanding has fully come]: you shall shine forth [giving this word as received], you shall be as the morning [the new day come].
18 And you shall be secure, because there is hope [in this expected end]; yea, you shall dig about you, and you shall take your rest in safety.
19 Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto you.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.

Psalms 49
1 Hear [shama’ – obey] this, all you people; give ear [‘azan – comprehend], all you inhabitants of the world [cheled]:
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 [in which the LORD’s deep meaning is held and revealed by Him only]: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels [the corruption picked up in our journey] shall compass me about [because the LORD will, has, washed it away]?
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 ceaseth 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 man being in honor abides not: he is [without the LORD’s spirit] like the beasts that perish.
13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approves their sayings [continuing in their error, corruption they, without the LORD’s correction, can never return from]. Selah.
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave [sheol- hell]; death [maveth] shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning [when this light has fully come]; and their beauty [their outward pleasantness] shall consume in the grave [sheol – in the hell they’ve created] from their dwelling.
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave [sheol – from hell]: for he shall receive me. Selah.
16 Be not you afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his 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 [understanding].
20 Man that is in honor, and understands not, is like the beasts [without the LORD’s spirit] that perish [devoured by their own devouring mouths].
