Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.

8 – 11 June 2023

Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.

Psalms 72
1 Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness unto the king’s son [Your called and chosen].
2 He shall judge your people with [Your] righteousness, and your poor with [Your] judgment.
3 The mountains [His governing] shall bring peace to the people and the little hills [all their leaders], by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear you as long as the sun and moon endure [while the church and state govern by Your judgment and righteousness], throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass [as the word of God from heaven upon those who were diminished by corrupt leadership]: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon [just civil government] endures.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea [generation to generation into which this word from heaven flows], and from the river [through which this word flows] unto the ends [ending the old and corrupt and beginning the new] of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness [the desolate place] shall bow before him [pamiym – in His presence]; and his enemies shall lick the dust [the ashes of the earth they ruined].
10 The kings of Tarshish [who’ve fled from the oaths they’ve sworn in My name] and of the isles [the dry places that have been without this word of God] shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba [that have sworn oaths to Me] and Seba [who drank these waters] shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba [these treasures promised to those who keep their oaths]: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains [there planted by the LORD]; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon [purity seen on high shall shake the wicked from there]: and they of the city shall flourish like grass [on the third day of the new creation] of the earth.
17 His name [identity] shall endure forever: his name [identity] shall be continued as long as the sun [as long as His light, understanding, remains in the Church]: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him [the son of David, in whom the LORD manifests His presence, in the] blessed [with His judgment and righteousness].
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous [pala’ – distinguished by success bringing light] things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name [presence] forever [‘owlam – for all eternity]: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

The word above rendered “ended” is kalah, meaning to end by completion, the same word used twice in Daniel 12, after he uses it in chapter 11 while speaking of when the indignation (za’am) is ended.

(Again, pardon my digressing for a moment: and speak of the tribulation, the pressing upon us by tyrants holding reins of power in this nation and over the world, until these same evil men (in church and state) are removed (taken out of the way). Remember, they are without mercy; no laws will restrain them, they refuse reason, and they will never surrender. There is no limit to the evil they will perpetrate to keep power. They hold nothing sacred. These are the same people who kill millions of children without blinking an eye, and now, with the same disdain, openly lead those left alive into insanity as they celebrate (take “pride” in their success in) the mutilation of their minds and bodies. Let their callous disregard for innocence be a warning of the greater evil they will, as necessary, unleash.)

Matthew 24
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such 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, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; 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 [with the sun rising of this new day], and shineth even unto the west [here sent upon all who come out of the corrupt houses of the dead]; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be [manifesting the LORD presence].
28 For wheresoever the [scattered] carcass is [the dead body of Christ], there will the eagles be [those flying in the heavens, bringing full understanding as received] gathered together [sunago – “to lead together, i.e. collect or convene; specially, to entertain (hospitably)”].

Revelation 14
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb [the sacrifice, the body the LORD has prepared for Himself – I Am] stood on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred forty and four thousand [the perfect number], having his Father’s name [identity] written in their foreheads [as the foundation of their consciousness, their awakened minds].
2 And I heard a voice from heaven [of full understanding of the time and season], as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder [the voice of the light in the cloud]: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps [playing the songs that are thereby given]:
3 And they sung [repeated the words as received] as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women [the unfaithful church]; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile [no deceit or fraud, as is the fault of all others not speaking this word, in whom there is no light – see Isaiah 8:20, speaking of “I and the children the LORD has given me,” saying of all, “if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them”]: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
6 And I saw another angel [messenger] fly in the midst of heaven [as eagles flying, giving full understanding as received – the eagle is the last of the four faces Ezekiel and John see {Ezekiel 1:10 & 10:14, and Revelation 4:7 & 12:14} of the “living creature {chay – life}” in the unfolding vision, by His word and work, of God’s presence], having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon [the confusion that has ruled the world into delusion and now mass insanity] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine [that deadened their minds and sent them into hell] of the wrath of her fornication [her interaction with Lucifer, through his sons of perdition].
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast [Babylon] and his image [there confusion and insanity they force all to worship], and receive his mark in his forehead [words written as the foundation of their minds], or in his hand [doing their work, spreading their confusion],
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God [this word against their evil], which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation [za’am in Hebrew]; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels [the messengers of God, His elect remnant singing His songs, manifesting His presence], and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name [manifesting the identity of Lucifer, as the destroyers destroying lives and livelihoods].
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in our flesh, to save the world].

Daniel 8
19 And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last end [‘achariyth – the last days] of the indignation [za’am]: for at the time appointed [mow’ed] the end [qets] shall be.

23 And in the latter time [‘achariyth – these last days] of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences [the words that darken minds], shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power [but the power of Lucifer, to deceive while claiming to be a light bringer, but the understanding is of the way into darkness]: and he shall destroy wonderfully [pala’ – distinguished by success accomplishing darkness], and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people [of God].
25 And through his policy [success by the ways he understands] also he shall cause craft [mirmah – fraud] to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace [claiming it while warring against us, destroying us, our nation, and our culture] shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince [sar – whom we are told of in Daniel 12:1 using the appellative “Michael,” meaning he is like God – opposed to those who are like Lucifer] of princes [through whom the light is returning]; but he [the children of Lucifer] shall be broken without hand [by the light that ends his success – the end of the days of darkness].
26 And the vision of the evening [the coming darkness] and the morning [when the light returns] which was told is true: wherefore shut you up the vision; for [understanding] it shall be for many days. [But yet, many men throughout the many centuries {many days}, false teachers and false prophets, in their pride, have claimed they understand it.]
27 And I Daniel fainted [the judgment of God became feeble in the hand of those without vigor, who didn’t protect and defend His word from corruption], and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

Daniel 11
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person [again speaking of the children of Lucifer], to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries [chalaqlaqqah – smooth words that hide treachery].
22 And with the arms [force] of a flood [of treacherous words] shall they be overflown from before him [paniym – separated from the presence of the LORD], and shall be broken; yea, also the prince [nagiyd – commander in chief] of the covenant [of the Constitution].
23 And after the league [made between both sides – republicans and democrats] made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people [the deep state].

32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries [chalaqqah – words of treachery]: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall cleave [lavah – remain among them] to them with flatteries [chalaqlaqqah – smooth words that hide their treachery].
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall [by this treachery], to try them, and to purge [of the deception that caused their fall], and to make them white, even to the time of the end [qets]: because it is yet for a time appointed [mow’ed].
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous [pala’ – distinguished by their success bringing darkness] things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation [za’am] be accomplished [kalah – ended in completion]: for that which is determined [charats – decreed] shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

The word “desire” (chemdah) of women (the church), which the evil in power doesn’t regard, is the LORD referring us to Jeremiah 12, and the “pleasant portion” (chemdah chelqah – desired smoothness), the truth (knowledge) of God that has, in the hands of men who haven’t regarded it, become a desolation.

Isaiah 30
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth [chelqah] things [saying the LORD says, when He hasn’t said anything to you, except what He has here said], prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore, this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly [pith’owm] at an instant [petha’].
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus says the LORD God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.
16 But you said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall you flee: till you be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign [nec – as the son of man lifted, the LORD’s word exalted above all others] on a hill.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

Jeremiah 12
5 If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the swelling of Jordan [in this time when pride has swelled into evil they call good: when the treacherous words of evil men in power have carried all into death and hell: here where those who rule the world, and those ruled by them, can’t distinguish between reality and their own delusions: which is insanity]?
6 For even your brethren, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; yea, they have called a multitude after you: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto you.
7 I have forsaken my house, I have left my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 My heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it cries out against me: therefore have I hated it.
9 My heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come you, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
10 Many pastors [ra’ah – shepherds who say they are seers] have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion [chelqah] under foot, they have made my pleasant [chemdah] portion [chelqah] a desolate wilderness.
11 They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourns unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man lays it to heart.
12 The spoilers are come upon all high places [sitting in all the seats of power] through the wilderness [in this time of desolation]: for the sword [this word from the mouth] of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land [‘erets – ending the old earth] even to the other end of the land [‘erets – beginning the new earth]: no flesh shall have peace.
13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns [their own misleading]: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
14 Thus says the LORD against all my evil neighbors [enemies mixed among My people, at war with them by treachery], that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit [this nation, in this world that belongs to Me]; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land [‘adamah – their graves], and pluck out the house of Judah from among them [the elect remnant first from among the dead].
15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them [the elect remnant] out I will return [risen with My resurrected ONE BODY and all the world will see Me again], and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land [‘erets – the new Earth I create].
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name [My identity], The LORD lives; as they taught my people to swear by Baal [the idols they created, put in My place, and called by My name]; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
17 But if they will not obey [shama’], I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation [those who refuse to know Me, and instead choose to remain in the dark with their evil], says the LORD.

John 10
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long do you make us to doubt? If you be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
26 But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them [harpazo – rapture them away with words of treachery] out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck [harpazo – rapture them away with words of treachery] them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews [the current crop of corrupt leaders of God’s people] took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 And went away again beyond Jordan [Passed over the words that carried all the world in the descent into death and hell] into the place where John at first baptized [calling all the world to repentance at the LORD’s mercy seat]; and there he abode.
41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
42 And many believed on him there.

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

Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be unto the pastors [ra’ah – shepherds who say they are seers] that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD.
2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the pastors [ra’ah – the blind shepherds] that feed my people; You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited [paqad – not been the overseer of] them: behold, I will visit [paqad – when I come as the Chief Overseer I will punish] 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 [ra’ah – seers: overseers] 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 [new life sprouting from his root], and a King [melek] shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The LORD Our Righteousness [Jehovah-tsedeq, in His king Melchizedek – melek tsedeq].
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 [‘erets – this time of darkness covering the earth], and from all countries [‘erets – earth] whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land [‘adamah – the ground from where the LORD created Adam – again, from the grave, death in the ruin, ashes, of the old earth].
9 My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; [because of their lies] all my bones [of the dead body of Christ] shake; I am [to them] like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness [that I Am speaking to open their ignorant eyes and ears].
10 For the land is full of adulterers [who have left the LORD to follow treacherous men]; for because of [false] swearing the land mourn; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force [gbuwrah – their valor] is not [for] 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 [chalaqlaqqah – treacherous] ways in the darkness [their own ignorance]: they shall be driven on, and fall therein [their own treacherous ways]: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation [pquddah], says the LORD.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria [who worship idols they put in my place and call by My name]; they prophesied in Baal [the creations of their corrupt minds], and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing: they commit adultery [leaving the LORD to follow those they put in His place], 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 [who end in the flame], and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah [remaining in the ruin of the old earth].
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.
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 [wortheless]: 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 walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. [Even as we reach the precipice of human extinction.]
18 For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD, and has perceived and heard [shama’ – and obeyed] his word? who has marked [qashab – let pierce the ear and sink deep into the mind] his word, and heard [shama’ – obeyed] it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind [the Almighty Spirit] 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 have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days [‘achariyth – these last days] you shall consider it perfectly [biynah – with perfect understanding].
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 my words, then they would have turned 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 – this decreed appointed time]?
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.
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 [the creations of their own minds];
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name [identity] by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name [identity] for Baal [their creations they call by My name].
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 to the wheat [their worthless words shall blow away with the wind and My word will remain forever]? says the LORD.
29 Is not my word like a fire? says the LORD; and like a hammer that breaks the [false] rock in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that steal my words [this word from My mouth] 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 My words]; 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? you shall then say unto them, What burden? 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 of the LORD [and then speak lies in My name], I will even punish 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 of the LORD shall you mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts 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 of the LORD; therefore thus says the LORD; Because you say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, You shall not say, The burden of the LORD [speaking lies in My name, and giving this word from My mouth no value];
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:
40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

Daniel 9
7 O LORD, righteousness belongs unto you, but unto us confusion of faces [paniym – not understanding Your presence manifested], as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off [rachowq – this decreed appointed time], through all the countries whither you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.
8 O LORD, to us belongs confusion of face [paniym – not knowing this is Your Presence manifested], to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
9 To the LORD [‘Adonay – the King of kings] our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
10 Neither have we obeyed [shama’] the voice of the LORD [Jehovah] our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed your law, even by departing, that they might not obey [shama’] your voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
12 And he has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us [into] a great evil: for under the whole heaven has not been done as has been done upon Jerusalem [Your people].
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before [paniym – in the presence of] the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand your truth.
14 Therefore has the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he does: for we obeyed [shama’] not his voice.
15 And now, O LORD [‘Adonay – O King of kings] our God, that have brought your people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have gotten you renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 O LORD [‘Adonay], according to all your righteousness, I beseech you, let your anger and your fury be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of your servant, and his supplications, and cause your face [paniym – Your know presence] to shine upon your sanctuary that is desolate, for the LORD’s sake.
18 O my God, incline your ear, and hear; open your eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by your name [where your presence and identity is manifested]: for we do not present our supplications before you [paniym – in Your presence] for our righteousnesses, but for your great mercies.
19 O LORD, hear; O LORD, forgive; O LORD, hearken and do; defer not, for your own sake, O my God: for your city and your people are called by your name.

Hebrews 10
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days [these last days], says the LORD, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest [of holies – into the presence of the LORD, where His presence is manifested in the conversation, face to face at His mercy seat] by the blood [this necessary sacrifice, speaking in His name: His Identity manifested] of Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh of the ONE BODY He prepared for Himself],
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated [now inaugurated] for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh [in which He is revealed];
21 And having a high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith [that it is Him], having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience [that blinds], and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession [homologia – same words] of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love [agape – charity, giving these gifts as received] and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [episunagoge – a completed collection – perfected in His ONE BODY, the end in completion], as the manner of some is [who remain scattered]; but exhorting one another [to join Him]: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching [this is the day of the LORD seen again by the world].
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions;
33 Partly, whilst you were made a gazing-stock [held up for public mocking] both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used [as I willingly have].
34 For you had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your [worldly] goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away, therefore, your confidence [that Father will do as He promised], which has great recompense of reward.
36 For you have need of patience, that, after you have done [obeyed] the will of God, you might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back [hupostole – timidly submitting again to the apostasy] unto perdition [apoleia]; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Daniel 12
1 And at that time shall Michael [who is like God] stand up [‘amad – stand against those who are like Lucifer], the great prince [sar] which stands [‘amad] for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – 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 book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust [‘aphar – the ashes of the ruin] of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting [‘owlam] life, and some to shame and everlasting [‘owlam] contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [give understanding] as the brightness of the firmament [which God called heaven: the exposition wherein the word of God above is separated from words of devils below]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars [lights in the darkness] forever [‘owlam] 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 [diligently seeking God], and knowledge [of God] shall be increased.

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that lives [chay] forever [‘owlam] that it shall be for a time [mow’ed], times [mow’ed], and a half [rightly dividing the time, that it is the appointed time]; and when he shall have accomplished [kalak – the end in completion] to scatter the power of the holy people [as in Deuteronomy 32:36], all these things shall be finished [kalah – end in completion].
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my LORD, what shall be the end [‘achariyth – these last days, the end of days] of these things?

12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [the end of days – we know from many previous studies, here it speaks of the time of Abram’s “deep sleep” in the darkness when the sun went down and he saw a smoking furnace and a burning lamp Passover {showing the way to ‘abar}. It is the time which began with Isaac’s birth {the son of the promise} and ended in these last days, in the fourth generation {the fourth evil kingdom of darkness upon the earth} – see Genesis 15:12 & 17].
13 But go you your way till the end be [qets]: for you shall rest [nuwach – the judgment of God quieted], and stand [‘amad] in your lot [gowral – predestine place] at the end [qets] of the days [yowm].

Psalms 35
1 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am your salvation.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel [mal’ak – messsenger] of the LORD chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery [chalaqlaqqah – ignorant that their fall comes by their own treacherous words]: and let the angel [mal’ak] of the LORD persecute them.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he has hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto you, which delivers the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoils him?
11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourns for his mother.
15 But in my adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects [those that stricken us] gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 LORD, how long will you look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18 I will give you thanks in the great congregation: I will praise you among much people.
19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.
22 This you have seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me.
23 Stir up yourself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my LORD.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to your righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at my hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall speak of your righteousness and of your praise all the day long.

And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

5 – 7 June 2023

And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

The word “indignation” is the Hebrew word za’am, meaning opposed by zealous denunciation. In the title verse, Daniel 8:19, it’s the LORD’s (za’am) against the evil kings described by Gabriel (the warrior or God) who gives Daniel this understanding. The enigma comes in the final verses when Daniel (the judgment of God) is told to shut up the vision, which is (in verse 26) described as “of the evening and the morning,” meaning of the coming darkness and when light returns.

The “shutting” comes with the darkness of these kings controlling the world, the last of which, in verse 23, is said to understand “dark sentences,” meaning the words that bring it. As we know from previous studies, this last king of darkness is the child of Lucifer: Saul Alinsky, whose children (the Clintons, Obama, with his useful idiot son Brandon, and all their evil ilk) use his words (bible), Rules for Radicals (written by Alinsky and dedicated to Lucifer), diminishing and destroying, as did Lucifer, to win his/their own kingdom (hell, a reality they reverse and call utopia). 

Daniel 8
23 And in the latter time [‘achariyth – these last days] of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power [but the power of Lucifer, to deceive while claiming to be a light bringer, but the understanding is of the way into darkness]: and he shall destroy wonderfully [pala’ – distinguished by success accomplishing darkness], and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people [of God].
25 And through his policy [success by the ways he understands] also he shall cause craft [mirmah – fraud] to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace [claiming it while warring against us, destroying us, our nation, and our culture] shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince [sar – whom we are told in Daniel 12:1 using the appellative “Michael,” meaning he is like God – opposed to those who are like Lucifer] of princes [through whom the light is returning]; but he [the children of Lucifer] shall be broken without hand [by the light that ends his success – the end of the days of darkness].
26 And the vision of the evening [the coming darkness] and the morning [when the light returns] which was told is true: wherefore shut you up the vision; for [understanding] it shall be for many days. [But yet, many men throughout the many centuries {many days}, false teachers and false prophets, in the pride have claimed they understand it.]
27 And I Daniel fainted [the judgment of God became feeble in the hand of those without vigor, who didn’t protect and defend His word from corruption], and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

Before this, Daniel is told this vision is of our time, now when the LORD gives us the understanding: the strength to overcome the wicked one.

Daniel 8
15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 And I heard [shama’ – obeyed] a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai [Elam – the One voice that begins and ends the ages of eternity], which called, and said, Gabriel [God’s man of war], make this man to understand the vision.
17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end [qets] shall be the vision.
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face [paniym – present] toward the ground [‘erets – in a deep sleep present on the earth]: but he [with His words] touched me, and set me [‘amad – made me to stand] upright.
19 And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last end [‘achariyth – the last days] of the indignation [za’am]: for at the time appointed [mow’ed] the end [qets] shall be.

Daniel 12
1 And at that time shall Michael [who is like God] stand up [‘amad – stand against those who are like Lucifer], the great prince [sar] which stands [‘amad] for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – 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 book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust [‘aphar – the ashes of the ruin] of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting [‘owlam] life, and some to shame and everlasting [‘owlam] contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [give understanding] as the brightness of the firmament [which God called heaven: the exposition wherein the word of God above is separated from words of devils below]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars [lights in the darkness] forever [‘owlam] 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 [diligently seeking God], and knowledge [of God] shall be increased.

12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [the end of days – we know from many previous studies, here it speaks of the time of Abram’s “deep sleep” in the darkness when the sun went down and he saw a smoking furnace and a burning lamp Passover {showing the way to ‘abar}. It is the time which began with Isaac’s birth {the son of the promise} and ended in these last days, in the fourth generation {the fourth evil kingdom of darkness upon the earth} – see Genesis 15:12 & 17].
13 But go you your way till the end be [qets]: for you shall rest [nuwach – the judgment of God quieted], and stand [‘amad] in your lot [gowral – predestine place] at the end [qets] of the days [yowm].

The word gowral, meaning “to be rough (as stone); properly, a pebble, i.e. a lot (small stones being used for that purpose); figuratively, a portion or destiny (as if determined by lot),” speaks what seem to ignorant men to be chance, while it is, in fact, the LORD’s providence (prepositioning assets and altering courses).

In Proverbs 16:33, it (gowral – the lot) is used to tell us it is seemingly randomly cast into the lap of the unaware, then saying, “but the whole disposing thereof [mishpat – the judgment] thereof is of the LORD [Jehovah].” The chapter begins by telling us it is speaking of the LORD’s “preparation” of men’s minds, laying a foundation that produces the “answer” of the tongue. The words “preparation” and “answer” are from words prefixed with ma, which we understand both ask and answer the question of “what is” the remainder of the word it’s fixed to. 

Strong’s #4633: ma’arak [only used this once]: from 6186; an arrangement, i.e. (figuratively) mental disposition:–preparation.

Strong’s #4617: ma’aneh [only used eight times]: from 6030; a reply (favorable or contradictory):–answer, X himself.

Strong’s #6186: `arak: a primitive root; to set in a row, i.e. arrange, put in order (in a very wide variety of applications):–put (set) (the battle, self) in array, compare, direct, equal, esteem, estimate, expert (in war), furnish, handle, join (battle), ordain, (lay, put, reckon up, set) (in) order, prepare, tax, value. 

Strong’s #6030: `anah: a primitive root; properly, to eye or (generally) to heed, i.e. pay attention; by implication, to respond; by extens. to begin to speak; specifically to sing, shout, testify, announce:–give account, afflict (by mistake for 6031), (cause to, give) answer, bring low (by mistake for 6031), cry, hear, Leannoth, lift up, say, X scholar, (give a) shout, sing (together by course), speak, testify, utter, (bear) witness.

Proverbs 16
1 The preparations of the heart in man [putting the minds of men in order, and bringing them to join the battle, at Armageddon – the appointed rendezvous], and the answer of the tongue [prepared to speak the word of God as received, declaring it] is from the LORD.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weighs the spirits.
3 Commit your works unto the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.
4 The LORD has made all things for himself [ma’aneh – so the answer given is His]: yea, even [to answer] the wicked for the day of evil.
5 Every one that is proud [refusing to be rightly ordered by the LORD] in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand [in that battle against Him], he shall not be unpunished.
6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
7 When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9 A man’s heart devises his way: but [no matter what man plans] the LORD directs his steps [according to His plan and purpose].
10 A divine sentence [from the LORD] is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresses not in judgment [mishpat].
11 A just weight and balance [righteous judgments] are the LORD’s: all the weights of the bag are his [good] work.
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness [as do the evil powers of our time]: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips [prepared by the LORD] are the delight of kings; and they love him that speak right.
14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15 In the light [understanding] of the king’s countenance [presence] is life; and his favor is as a cloud [giving the LORD’s understanding from heaven] of the latter rain [His word sent from there].
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17 The highway [the way to rising from the dead] of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keeps his way preserves his soul.
18 Pride goes before destruction and a haughty [gobahh – thinking they dig pits to trap Yahh] spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that handles a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusts in the LORD, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increase learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that has it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth and adds learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that labors [for wickedness] labors for himself; for his mouth craves it of him.
27 An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire [of hell].
28 A froward man [who twists and perverts truth] soweth strife: and a whisperer [falsely accusing] separates chief friends.
29 A violent man entices his neighbor, and leads him into the way that is not good.
30 He shuts his eyes [to reality] to devise froward things [that are twisted perversions of truth]: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33 The lot [gowral] is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof [mishpat – judgment] is of the LORD.

Jeremiah 48
25 The horn [the power] of Moab [whose mouth are the gates holding God’s people in hell] is cut off, and his arm [his work] is broken, says the LORD.
26 Make you him drunken [with his power, and thereby void of right reason]: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit [the words they spew], and he also shall be in derision [laughed at for their obvious ignorance, of which they are blindly unaware].
27 For was not Israel a derision unto you? was he found among thieves? for since you spoke of him [laid your trap for him, so you could rob his treasury], you skips for joy [as a thief with what he got away with].
28 O you that dwell in Moab, leave the cities [that are desolate, as hell in which they hold you], and dwell in the rock [with Christ from where these freeing waters flow], and be like the dove [that Knows this is the end time and this is the promised destination reached] that makes her nest in the sides of the hole’s mouth [of the Rock, from where flows the word from the mouth of God].
29 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness [gobahh – thinking his words, as a pit dug {hell}, can trap and hold Yahh as they have His people], and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart [blindly not knowing He’s come into hell by choice and will leave, with those He’s ransomed, at his will].
30 I know his wrath, says the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it [My preparation and plan].

Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

When the LORD asks the question of Peter, there called Simon Peter, who answers that He is Christ, revealed to him by the Father, He (the LORD) says upon this Rock (by confessing Him, joining the LORD in His ONE BODY of Christ) he will build His church (the ONE BODY) and the gates of hell shall not prevail in the battle against it. The LORD then calls him Simon BarJonah, the latter name meaning he is the first to come from the whale’s belly, which Jonah called (in Jonah 2:2) the belly of hell: Sheol, the habitation of the dead. 

As we know, when the LORD describes the “whale’s” belly, He used the once-used Greek word ketos, which is from the once (by Him) used word chasma, which is the great “gulf” (the wide open mouths of men who devour and swallow people into the belly of hell) between heaven and hell, which He says no man can cross. This last statement (that no man can cross), is what He is speaking of when He tells Peter, “flesh and blood has not revealed it {that he is the son of the Father in him} unto you, but my Father which is in heaven.” 

The deeper meaning here is in the name Simon, from the Hebrew name Simeon (Shim’own), from the word shama’, which we know means “to hear intelligently (often with implication of attention, obedience, etc.; causatively, to tell, etc.)”

As we also know, shama’ is the root of the shmuw’ah, the word used to tell of hearing the word spoken from the flesh as the word from the mouth of Jehovah. Most notably, Isaiah uses the word, in Isaiah 53:1, telling us it’s to those who hear Him, His “report,” the arm of Jehovah is revealed. 

Isaiah, earlier in Isaiah 28, says in verse 19, “From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – to hear and obey the voice as the voice of Jehovah the Father].” 

The voice is the one teaching “doctrine,” from the same word shmuw’ah, precept upon precept, line upon line, which he says is the rest and refreshing, but they would not hear (shama’ – obey).

FYI: the Hebrew word rendered “heaven” is shamayim. It’s first used in Genesis 1:1, telling us God created it with the earth before the earth became without form and void, and darkness covered the deep understanding that was present. Its second use is in Genesis 1:8, where God names the firmament (the result of the process) “heaven,” after therein separating the waters above from the waters below, thereby telling us the present word of God was mixed with men’s words causing the deep to be darkened and the earth to become without form and void.

The word shamayim is an intentional combining of the words shama’ (heard and obeyed) and mayim (water): the word of God heard from Him and obeyed by repeating it as received in its pure form. This is described as when the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters and said let there be light, and understanding was given to One first (on the first day), and then, on the second day came the exposition (separating the waters in the firmament) by the One, which (right dividing it in the conversation) God named heaven (the word of God heard and delivered as His, giving His full understanding to as many as received Him). This, on the third day, caused life to again come from the earth.

Isaiah 28
14 Wherefore hear [shama’ – obey] 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 [Sheol] 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 [the Rock of salvation]: he that believes shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters 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 shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah].

Matthew 16
13 When Jesus came into the coasts [limit, the end of the time] of Caesarea Philippi [those severed from the love {of God} that bears their burdens], he asked his disciples [students], saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 He says unto them, But whom say you that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this Rock [the Father in you revealing the son] I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven [and all understanding will be opened to you]: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day [in the season when life returns to the Earth].
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from you, LORD: this shall not be unto you.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get you behind me, Satan: you are an offense unto me [because to resist to work of the Father that must be done]: for you savor not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me [that My identity will be manifested in you].
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father [revealed in me] with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Truly I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Matthew 11
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, 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.

The word gobahh (from gabahh), speaks of the one to whom it pertains (ya’ah – Yahh), as if held in a place, and man thinking he can take and hold God by taking those in whom His presence, by obedience and diligent search, is manifested. It’s from the words gab (and gob – only used of the lion’s “den” in Daniel 6) and Yahh. 

Some of the perceptions O God as Spirit are described in the uses of these words. Hidden in the written word, we understand His presence in temporal man is real, openly manifested at strategic points as necessary to give authority to the voices of those through which He speaks and works. Other men, inspired by their evil minds swelled with pride, lust, and lawless self-will, infringe upon others’ lives, liberty, and property, oppressing and afflicting many. It is against these men, the enemies of God throughout history, when their darkness has spread, victimizing the innocent and right thinking, taking them captive under the shadow of death they cast, the LORD has sent saviors. These are willing men He prepares to become obedient to undertake what can’t be comprehended through human intellect: in some cases, (seemingly to the human mind) suicide missions, all for the greater good of His ONE BODY; and in others, to exalt them into just leadership among those thereby rescued.

The idea, the failsafe of His purpose, is Him, while beginning in one (seemly alone on an island), though His message, entering to dwell in the minds of many. This has occurred in various forms (people) throughout history, “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 they without us should not be made perfect.” Hebrews 11

Friends, we are all here now, some awake and alive again, while most remain asleep to His/their identity. It is our responsibility, our duty, and our mission, to awaken them. You are those the LORD has called and chosen, as he did through Gideon, awakening us first, rightly ordering our minds to see as He sees, to speak His word, and act on His behalf – to save the world.

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.

The above talks about the faith by which we overcome the world. It begins with first believing, having faith, that it is the LORD speaking of things not yet seen, to move us forward by obedience, knowing He is with us and sees what is ahead.

Hebrews 11
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 [journeying to this destination] on the earth.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country [taris – the Father-land, our native country, the heavens from where we’ve come].
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had the opportunity to have returned.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.

Job 33
13 Why do you strive against him? for he gives not account of any of his matters.
14 For God speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumbering upon the bed;
16 Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keep back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 He is chastened [corrected] also with pain upon his bed [while he sleeps], and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20 So that his life abhors bread [this word that will relieve his pain], and his soul dainty meat [this deep understanding that will strengthen him].
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Yea, his soul draws near unto the grave [shachath – the same as is rendered “pit” in this chapter], and his life to [chay – rendered “the living creature” in Ezekiel 1, speaking of the life in the word, the written word sent forward in time as a wheel within a wheel, the circle, circuit, of understand received and sent to give the same understanding by which we overcome] the destroyers.
23 If there be a messenger [mal’ak – an angel] with him, a interpreter [luwts – only used one other time in Job, rendered “scorn” in 16:20, thereby telling us the accusations of his three so-called friends are their own interpretation: truth polluted by their additions: traditions], one among a thousand, to show unto man his [the LORD’s] uprightness:
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favorable unto him: and he shall see his face [the LORD’s presence with him, manifested in His messenger He sends as His, Jehovah’s, Salvation {Jesus} in the flesh] with joy: for he will render unto man His righteousness.
27 He looks upon men, and if any [repents and] say, I have sinned, and perverted that [truth] which was right, and it profited me not;
28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit [the grave], and his life shall see the light [understanding].
29 Lo, all these things works God oftentimes with man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light [understanding] of the living.

Hear the word of the LORD to you scorners: empty vessels that claim you speak for God against me:

Job 13
4 But you are forgers of lies, you are all physicians of no value.
5 O that you would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will you speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
8 Will you accept his person [paniym – His presence in me]? will you contend for God?
9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocks [hathal – deceives] another, do you so mock [hathal – deceive] him?
10 He will surely reprove you, if you do secretly accept persons [paniym – the presence of others].
11 Shall not his excellency [s’eth – rising] make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes [‘epher – the ruin of the earth], your bodies [gab] to bodies [gab] of clay [vessels created to hold what ruined the earth].
13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand [by choosing to speak His word and do His work]?
15 Though he slay me [even if it means I loose this flesh life], yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain my own ways [arguing His righteousness] before him.
16 He also shall be my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
20 Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from you.
21 Withdraw your hand far from me: and let not your dread make me afraid.
22 Then call you, and I will answer [‘anah]: or let me speak, and answer [‘anah] you me.
23 How many are my iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin. [why do you say I should stay away from you? because you are holier than I Am?]
24 Wherefore hide you your face [paniym – from the LORD’s presence in me], and hold me for your enemy?

The “dread” spoken of in verse 21 above, from the word ‘eymah, takes us back to its first four uses: Genesis 15:12, where its the “horror” of great darkness Abram saw in his deep sleep, Exodus 15:16 & 23:27 where its the “fear” that comes upon the enemies among us, and Deuteronomy 32:25 where it’s the “terror” that comes upon God’s people from the enemies that are among them as their judges.

Genesis 15
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror [‘eymah] 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 that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
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 [now when the evil kingdom comes] they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites [those who exalt their words above the LORD’s] is not yet full.
17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down [when the light left and darkness covered the earth], and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp [the LORD in the flesh among us always, showing the way in the darkness, to this destination] that passed [‘abar – the Passover] between those pieces [the flesh cut in two – the old flesh then and the resurrected flesh now in the culmination].

Friends, understand the full message in the LORD’s covenant with Abraham: 

Genesis 22
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes [by his obedience his eyes were lifted to see as the LORD sees], and looked [ra’ah – saw as the LORD sees], and behold behind him [‘achar – after, in these last days] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns [the final king caught by his own power to deceive: the enemies in these last days]: 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 Jehovah-Jireh [said to, by dubious interpretation, mean Jehovah sees – the Jireh is actually yarah, telling of means by which He gives us sight: pointing out, as in teaching that flows from Him as water from a Rock]: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen [ra’ah – when we see as he sees]. [The LORD didn’t bring us here, into this Earth, to die, but to, through the obedience of one, make us as many as the sands of the sea shore and the stars of heaven in the resurrection now underway.]
15 And the angel [mal’ak – messenger] 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 [your ONE BODY]:
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 [in these last days, at the expected end] shall possess [yarash – seize and occupy] the gate of his enemies;
18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed [shama’] my voice.

Exodus 15
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh’s [the great house of evil kings] 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 [came together as understanding in our minds] in the heart of the sea [in the minds of the people at large].
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 [by Your Almighty Spirit], 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, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina [the invading army now in control of all the seats of power in the institutions they’ve corrupted].
15 Then the dukes of Edom [the elites of the enemies mixed among us] shall be amazed [bahal – tremble inside: fear and panic because they know what is coming]; the mighty men of Moab [whose mouths are the gates holding the world in hell], trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan [the wicked now possessing the land by possessing the minds of the sleeping dead] shall melt away [from the heat of the fires they’ve caused].
16 Fear [‘eymah] and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm they shall be as still [damam – dumb, paralyzed by fear] as a stone; till your people pass over [‘abar – Passover], O LORD, till the people pass over [‘abar – Passover], which you have purchased [qanah – resurrected].
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 forever and ever.

Exodus 23
20 Behold, I send an Angel [mal’ak – My messenger] before you [paniym – as My presence manifested], to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [identity] is in him.
22 But if you shall indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto your enemies, and an adversary unto your adversaries.
23 For my Angel [mal’ak – My messenger who is a man of war] shall go before you, and bring you in unto the Amorites [those who exalt their words above Mine], and the Hittites [who’ve cause fear and confusion among you], and the Perizzites [those who’ve scattered My ONE BODY], and the Canaanites [those possessing the earth], the Hivites [possessing her cities], and the Jebusites [those who’ve taken My people captive: the corrupt crop of leaders against whom My wrath has come]: and I will cut them off.
24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but you shall utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images [these things they’ve created and force you to worship].
25 And you shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless your bread, and your water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in your land [‘erets – the New Earth I create]: the number of your days I will fulfill.
27 I will send my fear [‘eymah] before you [paniym – of My presence with you, in you], and will destroy all the people to whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs unto you [as they flee in fear of My known presence].

Deuteronomy 32
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them [the rebels that revolt against Me]; I will spend my arrows upon them.
24 They shall be burnt with hunger [without this word of God], and devoured [melting away] with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them [the tearing words of men among them without My Spirit] upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25 The sword without, and terror [‘eymah] 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 [guwr – for them because they remained in] the wrath [ka’ac – the provocations] of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely [in ways My people, without My sight, are unaware], 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]!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31 For their rock [those they listen to and obey] is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges [punishing them which corrupt judgment].
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 [words] of dragons [tanniyn – like serpents and whales devouring with wide open mouths and swallowing the world into the belly of hell], and the cruel venom [words] of asps.
34 Is not [the recompense for] this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongs vengeance and recompense; 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 seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left [with strength: understanding].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which [are men that] did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings [while they lied, saying it is for God and His work]? 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.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and my hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make my 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 revenge upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O you nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

Psalms 121
1 I will lift up my eyes unto the hills [where the LORD is now seen as He sees], from whence comes my help.
2 My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper: the LORD is your shade upon your right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Psalms 32
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile [deception].
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: my moisture [what I thought I knew] is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5 I acknowledge my sin unto you, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this shall everyone that is godly pray unto you in a time when you may be found: surely in the floods of great waters [the words of corrupt men] they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with my eye.
9 Be you not as the horse, or as the mule [men without the LORD’s spirit], which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they [like the floods] come near unto you.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous: and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.

Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

1 – 4 June 2023

Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

The word above, in Isaiah 51:4, rendered “harken,” is the qashab, meaning to prick up the ear, which we understand means to let what is said pierce the ear and sink deep into the mind. In the chapter, the word shama’ also appears three times, twice rendered “harken” and once “hear,” meaning “to hear intelligently (often with implication of attention, obedience, etc.; causatively, to tell, etc..”  

It (qashab) is telling of understanding (light) God’s law and judgment, which must enter the ear and sink deep into the mind of His people. The Hebrew word, rendered “nation,” He uses here is lom, meaning “to gather; a community,” speaking of His ONE BODY.

He says when they are gathered as One, the law that proceeds (yatsa’) from Him, is His judgment (mishpat) that (when sunk in) calms (raga’ – “rest”) them with the light (understanding).

Isaiah 51
1 Hearken to [shama’ – obey] me, you that follow after righteousness, you that seek the LORD: look unto the rock [tsuwr – the word that flows from Christ] whence you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence you are digged.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
3 For the LORD shall comfort [nacham – lead into all truth] Zion: he will comfort [nacham – lead into all truth] all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody [their songs repeating this word as it flowed from the Rock].
4 Hearken [qashab] unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation [lom]: for a law shall proceed [yatsa’] from me, and I will make my judgment [mishpat] to rest [raga’] for a light of the people.
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on my arm shall they trust.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens [compare the old {darkened: fully corrupt} to the new {light}], and look upon the earth beneath [and see it in darkness because of the corruption]: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner [and all, with minds darkened, are spiritually dead and on the verge of extinction]: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 Hearken unto [shama’ – obey] me, you that know righteousness, the people in whose heart [foundational mind] is my law; fear you not the reproach of men, neither be you afraid of their reviling.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Are you not it [arm] that has cut [chatsab – the same word rendered “hewn” in verse 1 – It speaks of a written description] Rahab [rahab – only used elsewhere in Job 26:12 where it tells of the LORD “dividing” {raga’ – calming} the sea, as he with understanding smites the “proud” {rahab}; and in Isaiah 30:7 where it is the “strength” {rahab} of our oppressors {Egypt} and the oppressed to sit still {idle: not doing as the LORD commands – the following verse saying, “Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever”}, and wounded the dragon [tanniym – serpents and whales who devour and swallow their prey with wide-open mouths – men whose mouths are the great gulf {chasma – the gate through which, without the LORD, no man can cross} between heaven and hell]?
10 Are you not it which has dried the sea, the waters of the great deep [wherein these things are hidden treasures]; that has made the depths of the sea [the revelation of things hidden] a way for the ransomed to pass over [‘abar – Passover]?
11 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return [to this understanding, by seeing Him], and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain [nasag – reach {this destination}] gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
12 I, even I, am he that comforts [leads in this good way, into all truth] you: who are you, that you should be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
13 And forget the LORD your maker, that has stretched forth the heavens [spreading them before you in this exposition: firmament], and laid the foundations of the earth; and have feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor? [Their strength is to sit idle while others dig their pits, and let whatever happens to happen, and then use deception to describe it, to create fear and deprivation, to control you into doing what they command, and you blindly obey them and their evil, while you refuse to obey good.]
14 The captive exile hastens that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread [this word of God] should fail [by not obeying it].
15 But I am the LORD your God, that divided [raga’ – calmed] the sea, whose [proud] waves roared: The LORD of hosts [a man of war, sent to rescue the captive exiles] is his name [His identity manifested].
16 And I have put my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the [new] heavens, and lay the foundations of the [new] earth, and says unto Zion, You are my people [My army, My flock, My ONE BODY].
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O [New] Jerusalem, which have drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; you have drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons [no, not one telling them the LORD has come to rescue them – instead, rejecting His words, they exalt theirs above His] whom she has brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand [tolead her in the right way] of all the sons that she has brought up.
19 These two things are come unto you; who shall be sorry for you? desolation, and destruction, and [these have come by] the famine [for hearing this word of God], and the sword [the same word against those who reject it]: by whom shall I comfort [lead into all truth] you? [There is only One good shepherd the LORD has chosen, called, and sent in His name, I Am!]
20 Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
21 Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22 Thus says your LORD [‘adown – the king sent in the name of] the LORD [Jehovah], and your God [with, in, him] that pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; you shall no more drink it again:
23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict you; which have said to your soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and you have laid your body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over [into their promised utopia which we now see is hell].

Job, in answering His accusers, in Job 26, where he also speaks of rahab (the strength of the rebellious), describes the LORD, His ways (unknown) calming (raga’) the sea, and thereby, He also defeats the wicked. He speaks in questions asking who among men has done the thing the LORD has done, as is reiterated in Isaiah above as he answers saying there are none.

Job 26
2 How have you [false accusers] helped him that is without power? how saves you the arm that has no strength [no understanding]?
3 How have you counseled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters [where the deep is darkened], and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering.
7 He stretches out the north [darkness – ignorance] over the empty [tohuw] place [the earth without form, as in Geneisis 1:2, saying “And the earth was {hayah – became} without form {tohuw}, and void {bohuw]}; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” This is where the LORD found us, His people; Deuteronomy 32:10 saying, “He found him in a desert land, and in the waste [tohuw] howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed {biyn – gave understanding, light, to} him, he kept {natsar – protected} him as the apple {while he was little among men} of his eye {by this endless fountain of living waters, by which man lives}.”], and hangs [talah – suspends {the sentence of death}] the earth upon nothing [bliymah – only appearing here, asking what corruption and ignorance: speaking of humanity’s deep sleep, when he has been ignorant of his own ignorance and idenity].
8 He binds up the waters [reserving His word and understanding there] in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent [opened by any man] under them.
9 He holds back the face [paniym – presence] of his throne, and spread his cloud upon it [reserving it for the appointed time].
10 He has compassed the waters [paniym maiym – the face of the waters: the word present on earth without understanding] with bounds [choq – decreed the appointed time], until the day and night [the end of days] come to an end [takliyth – “end, perfection, consummation, completion, completeness”].
11 The pillars of heaven [that hold up the current understanding that is now shaken] tremble and are astonished [tamahh] at his reproof. [Habakkuk 1:5 Behold you among the heathen {those who don’t know Me}, and regard, and wonder marvelously [tamahh]: for I will work a work in your days which you will not believe, though it be told you.]
12 He divides [raga’ – calms] the sea with his power, and by his [this is speaking of me, tamahh, Tim-Yahh, Timothy] understanding he smites through the proud [rahab].
13 By his [Almighty] spirit he has garnished the [shiphrah – gives brightness to the before darkened] heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent [leviathan – the ever-winding river, carrying the words men have forever changed, that keep men from seeing what is ahead, the foil against which the LORD reveals His presence miraculously].
14 Lo, these are [only] parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard [shama’ – obeyed] of him? but the thunder [His voice of understanding from the cloud: the sound of the light] of his power [gbuwrah – Might, strength] who can understand?

Acts 13
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 [in Habakkuk 1:5];
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.

Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt [to their oppressors], and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh [the house of the wicked who now rule the world], and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of [sitting idle, obeying] Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength [rahab] is to sit still.
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come [‘acharown – for these later days] forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus says the LORD [‘Adonay – the King of king] God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.
16 But you said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall you flee: till you be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted – so his voice is heard above all others] on a hill.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: you shall weep no more: he will be very gracious unto you at the voice of your cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer you.
20 And though the LORD give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers:
21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
22 You shall defile also the covering of your graven images of silver, and the ornament of your molten images of gold: you shall cast them away as a menstruous cloth; you shall say unto it, Get you hence.
23 Then shall he give the rain of your seed, that you shall sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall your cattle feed in large pastures.
24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of [these living] waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 Moreover the light of the moon [understanding of civil Government] shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun [the understanding of the church] shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up [chabash] the breach of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD comes from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
28 And his breath [the life from His mouth], as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations [those whodon’t know Him] with the sieve of vanity [bringing the harvests of their own worthless ways upon them]: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29 You shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept [qadash – when you declare His Holy One, repeating the LORD’s words as received]; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard [from His people], and shall show the lighting [understanding] down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian [communists in church and state] be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass [ma’abar – what Passover, this Passover], which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps [playing these songs with Him, repeating it as received]: and in battles of shaking [so the wicked will be shaken out of the new haven and earth I Am creating] will he fight with it.
33 For Tophet [the place of fires] is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he has made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath [the life from the mouth] of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, does kindle it.

The confusion of Egypt, above in Isaiah 30:3, is from the Hebrew word klimmah, disgrace (dis-grace), from kalam, meaning “to wound.” It’s described later, in Isaiah 45:16, as coming to those who make idols (fabricate words and ways people follow away from God).

Isaiah 45
1 Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus [an appellative speaking the king who is the LORD in the furnace with us], 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 his kingdom]; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight [the polluted pure]: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give you the treasures of darkness [hidden in men’s ignorance], and hidden riches of secret place [these treasures from the LORD’s treasure houses in the clouds], that you mayest know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name [your real identity], am the God of Israel [which I named and called you by].
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 it has been until these last days]:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun [the light of this new day], and from the west [its shining into the darkness that was covering the earth], 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 [the misleaders against whom My righteousness is contrasted]: 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 [her mouth], 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 [worthless vessels created of the earth]. Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it, What make you? or your work, He has no hands?
10 Woe unto him that says unto his father, What begot 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 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 [this exposition, the firmament of] the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 I have raised him [I Am] 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 [I Am who is a man of war].
14 Thus says the LORD, The labor of Egypt [mitsrayim – two {double} straits, which the LORD said {in Matthew 7:13 &14} must be avoided as we navigate the way into His kingdom], and merchandise of Ethiopia [men covered in darkness] and of the Sabeans [drunken with power and thereby become without right reasoning], men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be yours: they shall come after you; in chains [restrained by My law] they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, saying, Surely God is in you; and there is none else, there is no [other] God.
15 Truly you are a God that hides yourslef [as You walk among the ignorant], O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded [kalam], all of them: they shall go to confusion [klimmah] together that are makers of idols.
17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: you shall not be ashamed nor confounded [kalam] world without end.
18 For thus says the LORD that created the heavens [the place where full understand resides]; God himself that formed the [the old that became without form, and void – now made new] earth [wherein dwells righteousness] 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 right here in the open sight of those only blinded by their own corrupted minds], in a dark place [to those so ignorant and proud that they will never see] of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek you me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right [by which the good seed comes to life].
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together [into the LORD’s ONE BODY], you that are escaped of the nations [all those who haven’t known the LORD]: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image [the idols they’ve created, even calling them by My name], 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 [qedem – see Isaiah 51:9 above]? who has told it from that time [the word here is miyn {with affinity to min} which speak of the beginning of the species: king]? 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 [as the fiery serpent was lifted by Moses in the wilderness], 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, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed [zealous for their ignorance] against him shall be ashamed [when this end comes and they find themselves to have wrestled with the word of God into their own perishing].
25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

In the following chapters, we understand, in the word chatsab, the LORD is describing those among us as friends and neighbors, as the institutionalization of hatred toward His truth and therefore hating us without a cause. Throughout history, this corruption has increasingly embedded itself, becoming popular prejudice (popular culture), and culminating in a crescendo of evil against those speaking truth opposing their perverted orthodoxy. This normalization of evil and the demonization of good is the self-evident truth of the death resulting from the fall, natural law that is never, and cannot be, broken. Yet, men continually think (in hubris proclaim and decree) they can cheat and defy it. And all the desolate world, when it is now covered in total darkness, wandering in the wilderness, wonders what is happening while praying for the mountains and hill to cover them.

Luke 23
28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry [when, as now, My word isn’t heard]?
32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary [kranion – “cranium,” when these institutions of church and state took control of the minds of men, and killed truth and good] there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do [because they are ignorant and without sight]. And they parted his raiment [righteousness], and cast lots.
35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
37 And saying, If you be the king of the Jews, save yourslef [again ignorant of the truth, that He was saving Himself and all who receive His sacrifice delivering this message as received, and doing it in the Father’s name: identity manifested in flesh: demonstrating His character].
38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews [the King of Judah, the son of David and son of Joseph, the King of kings].

The word kranion is from keras, meaning, “from a primary kar (the hair of the head [thoughts that grow in mind and are manifested outwardly]); a horn (literally or figuratively):–horn.

The LORD uses this word (keras) once outside of Revelation where it is (nine times) the corrupt powers (horns of church and state) of the world, as one, with one confused mind, ruling the world, called Babylon; and (in Revelation 9:13) once as the four “horns” of the altar, when this voice is heard from the LORD presence sacrificing to deliver this message. 

Revelation 9
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns [keras] of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand [two hundred million – roughly two thirds of the nation’s population – the army of the sleeping dead]: and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them [riding above the army in command], having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions [roaring words that cause fear]; and out of their mouths issued [hell’s] fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed [became dead in their minds, from the confusion that rules there], by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths [as confusion, turned delusion, and now mass insanity among the dead].
19 For their power [over their army they command] is in their mouth [the known lies these known liars tell, and the false accusation with which they falsely accuse any who stand against them], and in their tails [what follows, results from, their lies and false accusations]: for their tails were like unto serpents [devil’s misleading], and had head [kephal – meaning “from the primary kapto (in the sense of seizing); the head (as the part most readily taken hold of)”], and with them they do hurt.
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented [the calls to repent, from the one like Jonah whose come from the belly of death and hell calling all the repent and come out from among the dead, are what causes these men’s deeper descent into the evil they proliferate] not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold [calves they put in God’s place], and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

The other appearance (of keras) is in Luke 1:69, as Zachariah (Jehovah remembers {the sacrifice of those He sent with His blessing}) describes the LORD sending John (meaning dove, as Jonah, the dove) calling all to repentance as he comes from the belly of hell (passing over through the gates, the whale’s and serpent’s mouths, ever open devouring men and swallowing them into the belly of the earth), which {Passover} is described as coming by the “horn” of salvation raised up (out of hell).

Luke 1
35 And the angel [Gabriel – the warrior of God] answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown to the world] shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest [His word that has effectually worked in you] shall overshadow you: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.
36 And, behold, your cousin Elisabeth [in Hebrew Eli-Sheba – the one the LORD calls the queen of the south, who hears the one greater than Solomon, who comes like Jonah, rises with the LORD and condemns this evil generation, telling them they are the dead], she has also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary [the rebel, who now rebels against the corrupt status quo] said, Behold the handmaid of the LORD; be it unto me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;
40 And entered into the house of Zachariah [the LORD remembers], and saluted Elisabeth [the oath of God – which he spoke to Abraham, Genesis 22:17, that we will possess the gates of our enemies: the gates holding God’s people in hell].
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my LORD should come to me?
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 And blessed is she that believed [has faith that this is the LORD speaking His plan: will]: for there [with obeying] shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the LORD.
46 And Mary said, My soul does magnify the LORD,
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
48 For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty has done to me great things; and holy is his name.
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength [given this understanding] with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He has put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.
54 He has helped his servant Israel [the whole family that will rule the world with God], in remembrance of his mercy;
55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham [in Genesis 22:17], and to his seed forever.
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
57 Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
58 And her neighbors and her cousins heard how the LORD had shown great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zachariah, after the name of his father.
60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John [Jonah, the dove, the sign {calling all to repentance} of the end reached – in Hebrew to name Jonah {Yonah}, is from yayin (wine) meaning effervesced and intoxication – saying he escaped as a spirit, from the waters of hell that drunken the minds of this evil generation].
61 And they said unto her, There is none of your kindred that is called by this name.
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marveled all.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings [rhema – matters, topics] were noised abroad [dialaleoa – through preaching] throughout all the hill country of Judaea [the high places of the elect remnant].
66 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts [reserved them in their minds, waiting for the LORD to give them understanding], saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand [power and work] of the LORD was with him.
67 And his father Zachariah was filled with the Holy Ghost [the LORD in him unknown to the world], and prophesied, saying,
68 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel; for he has visited [as Chief Overseer] and redeemed his people,
69 And has raised up an horn [keras] of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70 As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath [sheba] which he swore to our father Abraham,
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him [in His presence], all the days of our life.
76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest: for you shall go before the face of the LORD to prepare his ways;
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring [anatole – the rising light] from on high has visited [come as the Chief Overseer to] us,
79 To give light [understanding] to them that sit in darkness [ignorance] and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace [that flows from His teaching].
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.

Job 19
22 Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh [in which He dwells]?
23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 That they were graven [chatsab] with an iron pen and lead in the rock [in Christ – the LORD manifested in the flesh] forever!
25 For I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand [quwm – rise] at the latter day [‘acharown – these last days] upon the earth [‘aphar – in the ashes, dust, of its ruin]:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this [old] body, yet in my [new] flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
28 But you should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me [the root of matter is to bring you out of corruption and into this new life in My kingdom come on the earth]?
29 Be you afraid of the sword [fear rejecting the great salvation that comes from hearing and obeying this word]: for wrath [the fire from man’s poisonous words] brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a [good] judgment.

Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you are wholly gone up to the housetops [left the brawling women therein]?
2 You that are full of stirs, a tumultuous city, joyous city: your slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle [but by their own words and ways].
3 All your rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in you are bound together, which have fled from far.
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the LORD God of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
6 And Elam [all eternity] bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir [the wall of men’s lies upon lies] uncovered the shield.
7 And it shall come to pass, that your choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
8 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and you did look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.
9 You have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool [the word of God remaining with His people on the earth].
10 And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have you broken down to fortify the wall [of lies and falsehood].
11 You made also a ditch between the two walls for [to hold in My understand sent to restore understanding to] the water of the old pool: but you have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it [the waters: My written word I gave] long ago.
12 And in that day did the LORD God of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth [repentance and remorse for your covenant with death, and agreement with hell, thinking you can hide yourselves under lies and falsehood]:
13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.
14 And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till you die [to all your old and corrupt ways and ideas], says the LORD God of hosts.
15 Thus says the LORD God of hosts, Go, get you unto this treasurer [into whose hands these heavenly gifts were given], even unto Shebna [what has grown in the place where vigor should be, vigilance in protecting and defending the pure word from corruption], which is over the house, and say,
16 What have you here? and whom have you here, that you have hewed [chatsab – that you write your own corrupt interpretations] you out a sepulcher here [making it a place of the dead], as he that hews [chatsab] him out a sepulcher on high, and that graves a habitation for himself in a rock [from where corrupt now flows]?
17 Behold, the LORD will carry you away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover you.
18 He will surely violently turn and toss you like a ball into a large country: there shall you die, and there the chariots of your glory shall be the shame of your LORD’s [the idols you call by My name] house.
19 And I will drive you from your station, and from your state shall he pull you down.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim [whom God has raised] the son of Hilkiah [whose inheritance is Jehovah]:
21 And I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your girdle, and I will commit your government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open [this understanding], and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.
25 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD has spoken it.

Jeremiah 2
5 Thus says the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
7 And I brought you into a plentiful country [America], to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.
8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal [the idols of confusion they created and put in My place], and walked after things that do not profit.
9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, says the LORD, and with your children’s children will I plead.
10 For pass over [‘abar – Passover] the isles of Chittim [the places without My word, now filled with brawling women], and see; and send unto Kedar [those remaining in the darkness], and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
11 Has a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit [putting idol in My place and calling them by My name].
12 Be astonished, O you heavens [the place where understanding should be], at this, and be horribly afraid, be you very desolate, says the LORD.
13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed [chatsab] them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water [no word of God].

Psalms 91
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place 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 [words of] pestilence.
4 He shall cover 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 that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.
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 [whose open mouths are the gates of hell] shall you 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.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

30 – 31 May 2023

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

The Greek word rendered “was come,” above in Luke 9:51, is the three times used word sumpleroo, meaning “to implenish completely, i.e. (of space) to swamp (a boat), or (of time) to accomplish (passive, be complete).” It’s from the preposition sun (“sum”), meaning union or together, and the word pleroo, meaning “to make replete, i.e. (literally) to cram (a net), level up (a hollow), or (figuratively) to furnish (or imbue, diffuse, influence), satisfy, execute (an office), finish (a period or task), verify (or coincide with a prediction).”

Luke, the LORD in him working and speaking (writing), in his other two uses of the word, gives us its intended meaning. It defines this moment (destination) we’ve reached. 

(Friends, suffer my foolishness, for the LORD’s sake, for little longer, while I tell you what I know. We, you and I together, with the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, have reached the greatest event that will ever occur in all human history. It is the resurrection of the LORD Jesus Christ, with us, from death and hell. Again, this is reality, and your opinion doesn’t matter or affect it. You are either with or against us.)

Luke 8
15 But that [this word that has lighted {rests} upon you as a dove: a sign of the end reached] on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel [keeps it within himself], or puts it under a bed [so he can remain asleep in darkness]; but sets it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light [understand as he understands].
17 For nothing is secret [kruptos – these treasures reserved for this moment], that shall not be made manifest [ginomai phaneros – generated by shinning: made publicly apparent]; neither any thing hid [apokruphos – taken away into secrecy], that shall not be known and come abroad [the original text says – made apparent {ginosko; known} when the shinning {phaneros: appearance} comes – the translation here tells of the end of the journey when we’ve all, with the LORD, entered the ship and sailed to the others side: “abroad”].
18 Take heed therefore how you hear: for whosoever has [understanding], to him shall be given [more]; and whosoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have [speaking of the delusion and insanity that has come upon those, the confused, without this understanding].
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 the word of God, and do it [as he has commanded us to join Him in His ONE BODY].
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 flesh: His ONE BODY] fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind [of false doctrines, corrupt stoicheion {first principles}, and their confusion that agitates God’s people at large] on the lake; and they were filled [sumpleroo] with water [the words of proud men who’ve risen over the people], and were in jeopardy [as it is now under the tyranny of wicked and maniacally insane men].
24 And they came to him, and awoke him [and I Am awake], saying, Master, master, we perish [apollumi: Apollyon, the Greek name of the king of the bottomless pit and the devouring army that with him swallowed all humanity into death and hell]. Then he arose [from among the dead], and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water [the corrupt foundational principles and the proud men using them to destroy humanity]: and they ceased, and there was a calm [and the sea became as glass mixed with the fire from the LORD’s mouth].
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith [why, after experiencing these things, do you still not believe and refuse to obey]? And they being afraid, wondered [still not realizing what they are really seeing], saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commands even the winds and water, and they OBEY him.

As we know, the corrupt church’s day of Pentecost just passed. The true (so-called) fiftieth day of the Holy Spirit (the Paraclete), when the LORD manifests His presence by leading those who haven’t known Him into all truth: when He’s seen again as He ascends into heaven, isn’t known. As we also know, the church, in its early corruption, to control those who followed its misleading (as did Jeroboam, to keep God’s people from returning to their king, to Jerusalem where the LORD said He would meet with us, above His mercy seat, in conversation with Him face to face), created interpretations and days that have nothing to do with their true meaning.

The word Pentecost (pentekoste) is in truth from the two words pente, meaning five, the number of God’s grace: His gift, of these treasures, given; and the word hekastos, meaning “as if a superlative of hekas (afar); each or every:–any, both, each (one), every (man, one, woman), particularly.”

Logically, truthfully, the Pentecost speaks of when the LORD manifests His grace to each and every person, with ONLY One intermediary, Jesus Christ, alive in us. And the church, wanting to be lords over God’s people, couldn’t abide that happening.

Acts 2
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come [sumpleroo], they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind [the LORD’s Holy Spirit here manifested in His Paraclete], and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven [diamerizo – to partition thoroughly {separating the holy from the profane}] tongues like as of fire [speaking the truth understood by His teaching], and it sat upon each of them [as a dove descending from heaven and remaining].
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown, in their flesh, Christ manifested as they speak His word], and began to speak with other tongues [giving understanding to thing not understood before], as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews [Judah, the elect remnant there meeting with the LORD, teaching (yara’ – Jeru) the ways of peace {Salem}, as He promised], devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad [ginomai – generated through speaking the same words heard with understanding], the multitude [plethro – the many] came together [sunerchomai – come to the ONE BODY because of these utterances], and were confounded [sugchairo – because of the corruption comingled among them], because that every man heard them speak in his own language [and they understood the truth which they never before heard].
7 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans [part of the LORD’s inner circle, known because they speak as He speaks]?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue [dialectos: dialect – now understanding their words], wherein we were born [in corruption]?

1 Peter 4
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 If you be reproached for the name [identity] of Christ, happy are you; for the spirit of glory and of God rests [has lighted as a dove] upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters [allotriepiskopos – overseeing matters that should be left between God and each man – not as lords over God’s people – forcing your strange ways upon them].
16 Yet if any man suffers as a Christian [the identity of Christ manifested in his flesh], let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begins at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator [of this new creation].

1 Peter 5
1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof [episkopeo], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre [eager to gain what you lust for], but of a ready mind;
3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock.
4 And when the chief Shepherd [Chief Overseer of the Earth] shall appear, you shall receive a crown of [His] glory that fades not away.

Luke 9
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears [piercing your ears and entering your minds]: for the Son of man shall be delivered into [I have been betrayed, judged, and condemned to be silenced by] the hands of men.
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid [parakalupto – covered along-side, near enough to be grasped: received] from them, that they perceived [sensed] it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying [this matter of utterance: His silence ended with our speaking His word, receiving His students in His name: manifesting His identity].
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name [manifesting My identity] receives me: and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me: for he that is least among you all [giving up his identity to manifest mine to those in need My teaching], the same shall be great.
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in your name; and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
51 And it came to pass, when the time was come [sumpleroo] that he should be received up [analepsis – only appearing here, meaning when the scales {lepis} are taken up {ana} from their eyes, and His voice is exalted above all others], he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem [where He meets us, manifesting His presence in the conversation above His mercy seat, as he promised],
52 And sent messengers before his face [speaking His message by which His presence is manifested]: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans [God’s people who worship idols they put in His place and call by His name, devils, misleading men who exalt their words above His], to make ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem [where His voice is teaching the only way to sustainable peace and security on Earth].
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, LORD, will you that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume [analisko – defined it its other two appearances, see below] them, even as Elijah did? [Our mission is to give them this truth, as received, and only those who refuse this love of God, by their choice, are consumed in the fires caused by following the misleading ways of corrupt men]
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, You know not what manner of spirit you are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them [and is long-suffering them, not willing that any should perish]. And they went to another village.
57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, LORD, I will follow you whithersoever you go.
58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes [the wicked] have holes, and birds of the air [who have worldly understanding] have nests; but the Son of man has not where [no house, for all are corrupt] to lay his head [and my mind {word} isn’t welcome there].
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, LORD, suffer me first to go and bury my father [the dead in the houses of the dead].
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go you and preach the kingdom of God [this word from the mouth of God].
61 And another also said, LORD, I will follow you; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my [corrupt] house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow [doing My work], and looking back [to plant the corruption he’s left behind], is fit for the kingdom of God.

In the other uses of the word analisko, meaning “to use up, i.e. destroy,” we understand it is an effect of words against the truth, refusing to surrender to the Divine argument even when it becomes self-evident.

2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming [parousia – being near] of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together [episunagoge – a complete collection; only appearing here and. in Hebrews 10:25 where it says we shouldn’t forsake this as we see the day approaching {near}] unto him,
2 That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand [enistemi, standing in – impend, be present].
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away [apostasia – apostasy, standing away] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [as we know, this is a direct reference to Rueben, who put himself in his father’s, with Bilhah, for which he lost his birthright, which was then given to Joseph and his seed {Ephraim}];
4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped [God the Father’s place only]; so that he as God sits in the temple [the woman, His Church] of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now you know what withholds [katecho – holds God’s people down] that he [those who put themselves in God’s place] might be revealed [apokalupto – the real apocalypse] in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets [katecho – keeps God’s people from rising to meet the LORD in full understanding] will let [will hold them down], until he be taken out of the way [mesos – out of their midst].
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed [apokalupto], whom the LORD shall consume [analisko – with coals of fire that burn in their minds, doing them good, giving them this good word of God] with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy [katargeo – rendering them idle] with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him [the LORD], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders [after devils led all the world into apostasy],
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness [lies from known liars and false accusation from known false accusers] in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause [rejecting good and choosing to remain with their evil] God shall send them strong delusion [energeia – the same word used to tell of the word of God “effectually working” {change and salvation} in the mind of those who receive it as His – here it’s describing the same word working to “use up” {analisko} the minds of the wicked who reject {endlessly wrestle} with it and thereby become insane: as we now see them in full bloom], that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification [separation from corruption into purity] of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.

Galatians 5
7 You did run well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth?
8 This persuasion comes not of him that calls you.
9 A little leaven leavens [corrupts] the whole lump.
10 I have confidence in you through the LORD, that you will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubles you [by following his flesh mind and submitting to the lusts thereof] shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision [separation from this useless flesh], why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offense [skandalon – the trigger as part of the trap: the persecution that draws the troublers deep into the trap of the cross] of the cross ceased.
12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
13 For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty [away from those that trouble you, which cuts them off]; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love [giving the word as received] serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
15 But if you bite and devour one another [not understanding we long-suffer, with the LORD, not willing that any should perish], take heed that you be not consumed [analisko] one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in [the way of] the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh [that wars against the Spirit – doubting He is the LORD with us working and speaking through us].

The word rendered “obtaining,” in 2 Thessalonians 2:14 above, is the five-times used Greek word peripoiesis, meaning “acquisition (the act or the thing); by extension, preservation:–obtain(-ing), peculiar, purchased, possession, saving.” The passage very specifically says what is “obtained” is the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ (Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in our flesh) to those He has chosen and called.

Pardon me while I again digress: It has been brought to my attention that others, self-proclaimed “seers,” are saying they see Biblical patterns unfolding before our eyes. Their claim is that we are at a Red Sea moment when our only hope is God dramatically intervening – such as when parting the waters. These men are not against me, we who believe in His presence with us miraculously working right now, and, therefore, are friends and allies (even if they still sleep). The flaw in these men’s thinking is they say God must do something miraculous, like something in the past, when they fail to understand what happened in the past, continuing with the fables they’ve learned, and remain with them (in this, the Spirit mind battles to awaken their flesh mind). These men also say God must do it like they say (thereby exalting their words and way over His), so no man can take the glory. This is exactly the opposite of God’s plan, which is to reveal His glory in those He has chosen and called, thereby exalting (crowning) them as those He commends and proves: Good Shepherds who lead His people through the valley of the shadow of death, to lie down in green pastures, beside still waters. (Right now all those God’s people are listening to are in a state of panic, telling them to look here and there at all the enemy attacks. God’s people only need to look One place, to the good shepherd, the one voice the LORD has exalted, as a serpent on a pole, and He says, all who look here shall not make haste (run away in a panic), and SHALL BE delivered. The LORD says One thing, Obey His voice, and stop listening to those who will never be satisfied until it’s their way.)

Numbers 14
22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to [shama’ – have not OBEYED] my voice;
23 Surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley [the all the enemies of God throughout history possessing the Promised Earth].) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
26 And the LORD spoke unto Moses [whom He separated from the waters below – no longer following men’s ways and ideas] and unto Aaron [the light bringer – giving the understanding Moses received, as he received from the mouth of God: Moses], saying,
27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, says the LORD, as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
29 Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness [so they don’t remix their corruption into what I have purified]; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
30 Doubtless you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb [Kaleb, of Judah – the elect remnant, who receive this word as a dog {keleb} lapping water from the hand of God] the son of Jephunneh [in him is the presence of God manifested: God’s glory], and Joshua [Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh – of Joseph {Ephraim – see Numbers 13:8 & 16}] the son of Nun [the son in perpetuity].

Judges 7
3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead [leave this mountain of the LORD’s testimony]. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
4 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water [this word of God], and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whomsoever I say unto you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.
5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon [the hewer of men as trees – the LORD’s man of war], Every one that laps [laqaq, with affinity to laqash {leqesh}, meaning to gather the after crop {aftermath}: the second harvest] of the water [this latter rain] with his tongue [speaking as received], as a dog laps [as Caleb believed God and saw as He sees], him shall you set by himself; likewise every one that bows down upon his knees to drink [who cannot stand because they are weak without understanding].
6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth [who with strength stand, without fear, alert with understanding this word of God and ready to Obey His commands in the battle], were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian [stife – who were cause endless agitation of God’s people] was beneath him in the valley.
9 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get you down unto the host; for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 But if you fear to go down, go you with Phurah [from pu’rah, the “branch” as green shoot of new life, from pa’ar, meaning to gleam, elaborate, explain to make clear] your servant down to the host:
11 And you shall hear what they say; and afterward [‘achar – in this latter time] shall your hands be strengthened to go down [from this mountain of the LORD’s testimony] unto the host [against the army of darkness]. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host.
12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers [as a devouring army swallowing all new life, leaving the branch barren] for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake [tsluwl, only used here, from the once used word tsalal, which only appears in Exodus 15:10, saying of the Egyptians who pursued God’s people into the rightly divided waters, “You did blow with your wind {your Almighty Spirit moving upon the face of the deep}, the sea {Your people came together and} covered them: they sank {tsalal} as lead in the mighty waters.] of barley [s’orah – from sa’ar, meaning storm, the fear that eventually made {makes} the enemy flee] bread [lechem – this manna, the word from the mouth of God by which men live, of which they are ignorant of what it is] tumbled into [haphak – changed] the host of Midian [the army of agitators], and came unto a tent [‘ohel – its covering was removed, as in the apocalypse], and smote it that it fell [naphal], and overturned [haphak] it, that the tent [‘ohel] lay along [naphal].
14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon [the LORD’s man of war] the son of Joash [given by Jehovah], a man of Israel: for into his hand has God delivered Midian [the agitators], and all the host [and their army of darkness].
15 And it was so, when Gideon heard [shama’ – OBEYED] the telling of the dream, and the [this] interpretation thereof, that he worshipped [shachah – subordinated his will to the will of God], and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD has delivered into your hand the host of Midian.

Isaiah 10
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption [killayown – the consummation, only appearing elsewhere in Deuteronomy 28:65, where it is “the failing” eyes that come with following devils who put themselves in God’s place] decreed [charats] shall overflow with righteousness. [This speaks of the days of desolation, when the eyes of all those in power, as now, have made the feckless and fearful. It is, now, when there is no hope in these men or the institutions they’ve controlled and corrupted. The “overflowing with righteousness” is the anointing mentioned below in verse 27, when the yoke of these men and their institutions are broken, because they are heavy and worthless burdens.] 
23 For the LORD {“Adonay – the King of kings] God of hosts [a man of war] shall make a consumption [kalah – a full end], even determined [charats], in the midst of all the land [‘erets – the earth].
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, O my people that dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian [communists in power]: he shall smite you with a rod [the vile laws they make to convict the innocent and pardon evil], and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt [as tyrants do].
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger in their destruction.
26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb [the prince of darkness]: and as his rod [the law of nature and nature’s God] was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing [the final step – see Daniel 9:24].

The following three paragraphs are from the post of 22 November 2021:

When the LORD tells of the “scourge” He will stir (against the communists) He uses the word showt, meaning a lash (whip). It’s from the word shuwt, meaning to push forward. He says it will be like “the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb.” This refers to when Gideon [warrior – hewer of the mighty], with a few hundred men, by the sword of the LORD, and the sword of Gideon, stirred confusion and panic in the camp of Midian, causing them to flee. 

Gideon then called God’s people at large to join the battle, and they together chased Midian to the waters of Bethbarash (house of the ford – crossing over) and Jordan (death – the words that carried all there). The rock of Oreb (darkness, or dusky – as in those who caused light, understanding, to leave) is where the princes of Midian (Oreb and Zeeb – the wolves among the sheep) are slaughtered. Midian means strife, and describes those stirring endless arguments and agitation among God’s people. 

Friends, the dictionary definition of communism is a lie. It is truly – a system based on lies, promises of a utopia that comes by giving all power to a few men who’ve appointed themselves our gods. They are (now, today) fascists, Global Socialists, the ilk of the last century (National Socialists), who rise to power as demagogues, demonizing and dehumanizing their enemies, their countrymen, who become their victims. They are those who use known lies and censor all truth because, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” 

The above quote is by Joseph Goebbels, the Propaganda Minister of the National Socialist Party (Nazi Party) of Germany 1933 – 1945

The fiery trial we find ourselves in is to separate the wheat from the chaff, the good leaders from the worthless. As we understand, only a very few now sitting in seats of power are the wheat.

The words used by Isaiah above to describe this time also appear in Isaiah 28.

Isaiah 28
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.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – the sound doctrine, teaching, the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim [2 Samuel 5:20 – as water from His throne, breaking forth upon His 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], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22 Now therefore be you not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD GOD of hosts a consumption [kalah – a full end, as in Daniel 9:27], even determined [charats] upon the whole earth.
23 Give you ear, and hear [shama’ – obey] my voice; hearken, and hear [shama’ – obey] my speech.

Ephesians 1
4 According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one [BODY] all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which [promise] is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession [peripoiesis – obtained by the LORD who bought us], unto the praise of his glory [revealed in us].

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 [unknows in the darkness] in the night [to obtain what is rightfully His, by purchase].
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety [as they now tell us while they war against us and put us, our lives and livelihoods, in jeopardy]; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child [having no idea that, with these evil acts, they bring forth the man child that is to rule all nations with a rod of iron]; and they shall not escape.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness [ignorance], that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 You are all the children of light [understanding], and the children of the day [the light that has come]: 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 an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain [peripoiesis] 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 [build up by educating] one another, even as also you do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them 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.

Hebrews 10
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest [of holies – into the LORD’s presence, before His mercy seat, above which His presence is manifested in the face-to-face conversation] by the blood [sacrificing to give His word as received, in the name: identity] of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh [He chose, called, and prepared for Himself];
21 And having a high priest [in the never-ending order of Melchisedec] over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking [as so many have] the assembling of ourselves together [episunagoge – a complete collection – His ONE BODY], as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions;
33 Partly, whilst you were made a gazing-stock [were publicly mocked] both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used.
34 For you had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your [worldly] goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away, therefore, your confidence, which has great recompense of reward.
36 For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith [that the LORD is present]: but if any man draw back [hupostello – “to withhold under (out of sight), i.e. (reflexively) to cower or shrink, (figuratively) to conceal (reserve),” the light given to him], my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back [hupostole – “shrinkage (timidity), i.e. (by implication) apostasy,” standing away from the LORD revealed] unto perdition [apoleia]; but of them that believe to the saving [peripoiesis] of the soul.

1 Peter 2
3 If so be you have tasted that the LORD is gracious.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar [peripoiesis] people; that you should show forth the praises of him [His glory] who has called you out of darkness [ignorance] into his marvelous [eye opening] light [understanding];
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now [at His mercy seat, by His correction come in this conversation] have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims [who’ve now reached your destination in the LORD’s presence], abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles [who don’t know the LORD]: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation [episkope – when He comes as the Chief Overseer {Bishop} of the Earth].

Psalms 85
1 LORD, you have been favorable unto your land [‘erets – the Earth]: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people, you have covered all their sin. Selah.
3 You have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease.
5 Will you be angry with us forever? will you draw out your anger to all generations?
6 Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
8 I will hear [shama’ – obey] what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory [kabowd] may dwell in our land [‘erets – the earth].
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth shall spring out of the Earth [‘erets]; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land [‘erets – the Earth] shall yield her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

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.

25 – 28 May 2023

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.

In the above, Ecclesiastes 1:11, Solomon is speaking things (words and matters), through diligently searching (shel) to find the LORD’s mind, he understood, which is the (first) state of the “former” (ri’shown) house. He says this understanding will become not remembered (zekrown), and will not be by those who come (shel) “after” (‘archarown), in these last days (by the latter house).

Friends, I again tell you these things you once knew, but, through the neglect and abandonment by those charged with keeping them (tereo), have been forgotten. You are the former and latter house of God’s people, journeyers predestined to arrive here, in the resurrection to life by remembrance (zekrown). This is your, our, identity in the LORD.

Jude 1
1 Jude [Judah], the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James [brethren with Jacob], to them that are sanctified [made and declared holy] by God the Father, and preserved [tereo – guarded, protected, and reserved unto this time] in Jesus Christ, and called:
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
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.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, 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 [the affliction like these last days], afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels [messengers of God] which kept [tereo] not their first estate [which is to deliver the LORD’s message as received from His mouth], but left their own habitation, he has reserved [tereo] in everlasting chains under darkness [in their own ignorance] unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah [in flame and ruin], and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication [interaction with these same misleaders preaching and teaching their own message from their darkened minds], and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire [from the present mouth of God].
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion [the LORD’s order, under His rule], and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael [who is like God, and now stands against these men] the archangel [the Chief messenger], when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses [the law of God these men have destroyed], durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said [as I say to them all], The LORD rebuke you.
10 But these speak evil of those things [the truth of these matters] 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 [who killed his brother because his {Abel’s} works were accepted by God and his weren’t], and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward [that comes with them, by their misleading, cursing God’s people into this hell], and perished in the gainsaying [opposition of God’s will] of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity [they are stains corrupting and confusing the clarity of this word given by God], when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [from where understanding should come] they are without water, carried about of winds [of false doctrine]; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead [in the former house and now in the latter], plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea [pride-filled men among the people at large], foaming out [from their mouths] their own shame; wandering stars [who can’t be trusted to show the way in the darkness], to whom is reserved [tereo] the blackness of darkness [ignorance] forever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints [I and the children the LORD has given me – as signs of the promised and expected end reached],
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 [into delusion and insanity]; and their mouth speaking great swelling [pride filled] words, having men’s persons in admiration [and not admiring the LORD who bought them] because of advantage [the position in seats of power and control].
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 Him, His truth, and thereby from His ONE BODY], sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep [tereo – guard and protect] yourselves in the love of God [His charity, giving us this word He reserved with us, to be reveald at this time in these last days], looking for the mercy of our LORD Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear [telling them they are in danger of perishing if they remain with these men who are choosing to perish], pulling [harpazo] them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh [of these clouds without rain].
24 Now unto him [the Chief Overseer] that is able to keep [phulasso – watches over] 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.

Solomon calls himself the “Preacher” of Ecclesiastes, from the Hebrew qoheleth, from the word qahal, meaning “to convoke:–assemble (selves) (together), gather (selves) (together).” He uses this appellation seven times, all in Ecclesiastes, the last coming in His conclusion, which he begins by telling us to “remember.”

Ecclesiastes 12
1 Remember [zakar] now your Creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when you shall say, I have no pleasure [chephets] in them [the days when all acceptable words are abandoned and forgotten];
2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened [when understanding has left the church, state, and the people at large], nor the clouds return after the rain [when it has returned to heaven from where it was earlier given]:
3 In the day when the keepers [shamar – the obedient] of the house shall tremble [shel – waver in their work], and the strong men shall bow themselves [‘avath – have their understanding perverted], and the grinders [doing the LORD’s work among His people] cease because they are few, and those that look out [ra’ah – who are seers] of the windows [understanding: seeing, what is coming] be darkened [are blinded by ignorance],
4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets [the way into the LORD’s kingdom is shut], when the sound of the grinding [the voice of those doing His work] is low, and he shall rise up at [stand with] the voice of the bird [of those who departed, their first estate], and all the daughters of music [who should be repeating this word of God as received from those leading them in His song] shall be brought low;
5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high [the wicked sitting in seats of power], and fears shall be in the way [incited by those intentionally using it to manipulate and control those over which they have power], and the almond tree shall flourish [the first shoots of new life after a long winter], and the grasshopper shall be a burden [devouring the shoots], and desire [stimulating the LORD’s glory] shall fail: because man goes to his long home [in death – lacking awareness, ignorant, of death and therefore not desiring life], and the mourners [lamenting that of which they are ignorant] go about the streets:
6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed [that bind us to the LORD], or the golden bowl be broken [which the LORD fills with His blessings], or the pitcher [receiving the word given by God] be broken at the fountain [and cannot be given], or the wheel broken at the cistern [and the word can no longer be drawn from the place it is held in the Earth].
7 Then shall the dust [from where man was created] return to the Earth as it was: and the spirit [life in man] shall return unto God who gave it.
8 Vanity [hebel – emptiness] of vanities [hebel – emptiness], says the preacher; all is vanity [hebel – emptiness].
9 And moreover, because the preacher [qoheleth – calling all to assemble into life in the LORD’s ONE BODY] was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good [words to] heed, and [diligently] sought out [acceptable words and matters], and set in order many proverbs [having deep meaning hidden in similes].
10 The preacher [qoheleth] sought to find out acceptable words [chaphets – as in verse 1]: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies [for the edification of the ONE BODY], which are given from one shepherd [ra’ah – a different word than “seer,” but with intention similar].
12 And further, by these [the wise words of one shepherd], my son [the children the LORD has given me], be admonished [zahar – to gleam, be enlightened by caution]: of making [‘asha – manifesting the LORD’s understanding] many books [cepher] there is no end [qets]; and much study [‘ahag – only appearing here, meaning intense mental application] is a weariness [ygi’ah – only here, meaning laboring to grasp] of the flesh [mind without the LORD’s Spirit].
13 Let us hear the conclusion [cowph – the key word here] of the whole matter [dabar – these words]: [shama’ – by obedience] Fear God, and keep [shamar – obey] his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing [made so by forgetfulness and abandonment], whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

The word cowph only appears five times, and its given meaning is “a termination:–conclusion, end, hinder participle.” In it, the LORD refers us to its first appearance in 2 Chronicles 20:16. 

2 Chronicles 20
15 And he said, Hearken you, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat [of Jehovah’s judgment], Thus says the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
16 Tomorrow go you down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz [at this precipice where you have risen with the LORD by/with His full understanding]; and you shall find them at the end [cowph] of the brook [nachal – {Jabbok} the same as in Genesis 32:23], before [paniym] the wilderness of Jeruel [this time of desolation when you are taught {yara’ – as in Jeru-Salem} by God with us].
17 You shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand you still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.
18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.

Joel 2
9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10 The Earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that execute 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, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repent him of the evil.
14 Who knows if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 Gather the people [into MY OND BODY], sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare your people, O LORD, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen [who don’t know the LORD] 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, and pity his people.
19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send [shalach] you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20 But I will remove far off from you 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 [cowph] toward the utmost [‘acharown] sea [this generation in these last days], and his stink [by which all sense that death is in these wicked men] shall come up, and his ill savor [the word they teach shall be understood to bring death] shall come up, because he [the wicked] has done great things [gadal – enlarged wickedness in the Earth].
21 Fear [yare’] not [the wicked], O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things [gadal – He will enlarge righteousness in the destruction of the wicked].
22 Be not afraid, you beasts of the field [doing the LORD’s work in the Earth]: for the pastures [the place the flock feeds] of the wilderness [that were desolate] do spring [forth new life], for the [good] tree bears her fruit, the [good] fig tree and the [good] vine do yield their strength [understanding the time and season of this new creation].
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion [in whose mind the LORD rules], 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 [His word from heaven], the former rain [his written word], and the latter rain [this word that gives understanding] in the first month [ri’shown – beginning the new creation and our passing over the words of death].
24 And [in this great harvest] 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 [the devouring army of darkness, that entered the void when you forgot and abandoned My word] which I sent among you [by the law of nature and natures God].
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.
27 And you shall know that I am in the midst of IsRAEl [the whole Family of God], 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, 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 [the bondwomen who Passover with us] 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 [the old and fully corrupt church institution] shall be turned into darkness [shall be realized to be without any understanding], and the moon [all civil government] into blood [draining life from all the world], before the great [gadowl – as in verses 11 & 25 above, from gadal] and terrible [yare’ – feared and revered] day of the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on [qara’ – out to] the name [the manifested identity and presence] of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said [‘amar – promised he would answer], and in the [elect] remnant whom the LORD shall call [qara’ – answer their calling out].

Micha 5
1 Now gather yourself in troops [gadad], O daughter of troops [guwd – Gad, who will now overcome those who before overcame them]: He [the LORD] has [with judgment] laid siege against us: they [wicked] shall smite the judge [the LORD unknown as He has comes to judge the Earth] of Israel with a rod [shebet – with their power, deceptions and lies, by which they rule] upon the cheek [the jawbone of the ass, with which He, as did Samson {like the Sun}, is smiting the invaders among us].
2 But you, Bethlehem Ephratah [this house of bread, receiving the whole {loaf} of God’s word here rightly divided; which is the second blessing {Ephraim} upon God’s people – the place where RAchEl {Joseph’s mother} is buried after giving birth to Benjamin – Ephratah also the origin of Joseph’s naming Ephraim {same place and people in Hebrew}, who spiritually is the name of God’s people in this first generation in the new creation], though you be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of [these last three words are from the word mamcak {from macak -therein the LORD referring us to malkuw and malkuwth: both from malak: melek}, here {mamcak is} untranslated, speaking of the everlasting King and His kingdom and “yet out of” what it ascends] you shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [mowtsa’ah – Family descent] have been from of old [yowm – days], from everlasting [‘owlam – days everlasting – this can be none other than the perpetual son of God, the son of man {Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh} who comes in the order of Melchisedec].
3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travails has brought forth [her son of man in this generation]: then the [elect] remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
4 And he shall stand {as ONE BODY] and feed [in this good pasture] in the strength [understanding] of the LORD, in the majesty of the name [the manifested identity] of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great [gadal – the LORD goodness enlarged] unto the ends [ending the old and corrupt and beginning the new] of the Earth.
5 And this [son of] man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian [communists] shall come into our land [as they have]: and when he shall tread in our palaces [as they do], then shall we raise against him seven [good] shepherds, and eight principal men [of the new creation].
6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria [the communists] with the sword [this word from the mouth of the LORD], and the land of Nimrod [rebellion] in the entrances thereof [into His everlasting kingdom]: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian [the communist now in power], when he comes into our land, and when he treads within our borders [as they now do: Obama, his husband Michael, their idiot son Brandon, and their evil ilk].
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a {morning – the light that has come as] dew [His word now appearing on the Earth] from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarries not for man [those not expecting it], nor waits for the sons of men [to obey and deliver it as received; He, therefore, alone here sends it as dew appearing].
8 And the [elect] remnant of Jacob shall be [become] among the Gentiles [those not knowing Him when He appears] in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest [those said to be the “upright” among this ignorant generation, who are without the LORD’s Spirit], as a young lion among the [scattered] flocks of sheep: who, if he go through [‘abar – in this Passover], both treads down and tears in pieces [the wicked who reject His correction and its salvation], and none can deliver.
9 Your hand shall be lifted up [Your work shall rise] upon your adversaries [tsar – the enemies causing the tribulation {tsarah}], and all your enemies shall be cut off [karath].

Here following are the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definitions of the words mentioned in verse 2 above:

Strong’s #4469: mamcak: from 4537 [macak]; mixture, i.e. (specifically) wine mixed (with water or spices):–drink-offering, mixed wine.

Strong’s #4437: malkuw: (Aramaic [Chaldee]) corresponding to 4438; dominion (abstractly or concretely):–kingdom, kingly, realm, reign.

Strong’s #4438: malkuwth: or malkuth {mal-kooth’}; or (in plural) malkuyah {mal-koo-yah’}; from 4427; a rule; concretely, a dominion:–empire, kingdom, realm, reign, royal.

Strong’s #4427: malak: a primitive root [the same as melek]; to reign; inceptively, to ascend the throne; causatively, to induct into royalty; hence (by implication) to take counsel.

Proverbs 23
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Remove not the old [‘owlam] landmark [gbuwl – limits, the self-evident truth of eternity]; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless [sowing your corrupt ideas, so it will grow into confusion, delusion, and insanity]:
11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with you.
12 Apply your heart unto [this good] instruction, and your ears to the words of [God’s] knowledge.
13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if you beat him with the rod [this law of nature and nature’s God], he shall not die.
14 You shall beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from hell.
15 My son, if your heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when your lips speak right things.
17 Let not your heart envy sinners: but be you in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
18 For surely there is an end [‘achariyth – end of days]; and your expectation [this end promised and reached] shall not be cut off [karath – with the enemies that are].
19 Hear you, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart in the [right] way.
20 Be not among winebibbers [caba’ – filled with self: wise in their own conceit and pride]; among riotous [zalal – shaken in mind: the prodigal that never returns] eaters of flesh [producing nothing good; no good children]:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton [zala – who is never satisfied] shall come to poverty: and drowsiness [his sleeping mind] shall clothe a man with rags.
22 Hearken unto your father that begat you, and despise not your mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding [taught by your Father and Mother: the LORD and heavenly Jerusalem].
24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begets a wise child shall have joy of him.
25 Your father and your mother shall be glad, and she that bare you shall rejoice.
26 My son, give me your heart [your sound mind], and let your eyes observe [natsar – guard, protect, and obey] my ways.
27 For a whore [whose left the LORD to follow the ways of the wicked] is a deep ditch; and a strange woman [who doesn’t know the LORD] is a narrow pit.
28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey [to catch all in her ditch and pit], and increases the transgressors among men.
29 Who has woe? who has sorrow? who has contentions? who has babbling? who has wounds without cause? who has redness of eyes?
30 They that tarry long [‘achar – procrastinate: putting off doing what needs to be done] at the wine [yayin – what is effervescing before them]; they that go to seek [chaqar – that are never satisfied and tarry examining intimately] mixed wine [mamcak – this drink offering].

The word mamcak only appears one other time, in Isaiah 65:11, as the LORD speaks to those who’ve unknowingly found Him, many of whom are telling Him to stay away from them because they are holier than He. These are those who’ve chosen to tarry long (remain) among the dead and keep the abominations they worship, which have made them desolate.

Isaiah 65
11 But you are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering [mamcak] unto that number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and you shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called [qara’], you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not hear [shama’ – obey]; but did evil before my eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted [chaphets] not.
13 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed:
14 Behold, my servants shall sing [repeate these word as received] for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
15 And you shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the LORD God shall slay you, and call his servants by another name [which is Heavenly Jerusalem]:
16 That he who blesses himself in the Earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that swears in the Earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles [tsarah – tribulations] are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes.
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 But be you glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: for, behold, I create [Heavenly] Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

Daniel 7
27 And the kingdom [malkuw] and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom [malkuw] under the whole heaven [shamayin – obeying what effervesces from the LORD’s presence], shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom [malkuw] is an everlasting [‘alam] kingdom [malkuw], and all dominions shall serve and obey [shma’ – the Aramaic form of shama’] him.

Jeremiah 10
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto you, O LORD; you are great [gadowl], and your name [identity manifested] is great in might.
7 Who would not fear you, O King [melek] of nations? for to you [Yahh] does it appertain [ya’ah]: forasmuch as among all the [falsely so-called] wise men of the nations [among those who don’t know you], and in all their kingdoms [malkuwth], there is none like unto you.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
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.
10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting [‘owlam] king [melek]: 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 utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the Earth; he makes 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 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 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 of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
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 eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

Revelation 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 [what was causing the agitation of God’s people is calmed] mingled with fire [this word from the mouth of the LORD]: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast [those without the Spirit of God: the dead that are the cause], and over his image [the confusion and delusions they worship], and over his mark [insanity], and over the number of his name [Strong’s Hebrews Dictionary number 666, the ashes of the Earth’s desolation, behind which the world’s false prophets hide their faces], stand [God’s people in victory] on the sea of glass, having the harps of God [playing the songs He has given us to be repeated, which brings the victory, our rest in His peace and security].
3 And they sing the song [repeating the former rain] of Moses the servant of God, and the song [with understanding as the latter rain] of the Lamb, 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 [presence manifested]? [We know from Jeremiah 10:7 above, this pertains the Yahh, Jehovah, who is wiser than all the wise men {nations} who don’t know Him, who’ve, by their darkened eyes, made all the kingdoms of the Earth ignorant], for you [LORD] only are holy: for all nations shall come and worship before you; for your judgments are made manifest [declaring Your presence].  
5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened [for all the world to see and hear, as the former and latter rain are sent from there through the song of the Lamb and the saints who sing with him the same song]:
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 [this word the evil and corrupt world rejects] 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, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled [the vermin have fled their seats of power].

The words in Joel 2:23, speaking the word of God from heaven, rendered “former rain” and “latter rain,” are mowreh, only appearing one other place, Psalms 84:6; and malqowsh, meaning eloquence (used eight times: the number of new creation).

Numbers 24:7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his [Jehovah’s] king [melek] shall be [ruwm – shall be raised] higher than Agag [Gog, the king of all the enemies of God throughout history], and his [Jehovah’s and His king’s] kingdom [malkuwth] shall be exalted [nasa’ – above all the kingdoms of the Earth].

Deuteronomy 11
11 But the land, whither you go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of heaven:
12 A land which the LORD your God cares for: the eyes of the LORD your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year [all seasons].
13 And it shall come to pass, if you shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain [yowreh] and the latter rain [malqowsh], that you may gather in your corn, and your wine, and your oil.
15 And I will send grass in your fields for your cattle, that you mayest eat and be full.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods [men’s creations], and worship them [and follow their misleading ways into desolation];
17 And then the LORD’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest you perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD gives you.
18 Therefore shall you lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand [in all your work], that they may be as frontlets between your eyes [in the forefront of your mind, seeing as the LORD sees].
19 And you shall teach them your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, when you lay down, and when you rise up.
20 And you shall write them upon the door posts of your house, and upon your gates:
21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the Earth.
22 For if you shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon [from the desolate place to where purity should be seen on high], from the river [these words], the river Euphrates [these fruitful words that raise Ephraim from the dead], even unto the uttermost [‘archarown – in these last days] sea [the people into whom these rivers flow] shall your coast [gbuwl – the set boundary that only you will Passover] be.
25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that you shall tread upon, as he has said unto you.
26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
27 A blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
28 And a curse, if you will not obey [shama’] the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods [men as idols you put in My place], which you have not known [vermin who crept in among you].

The next appearance of the word malqowsh is in Job 29:23, as he, representing God’s people hated by this evil generation, laments his former state, now lost. As we know, his “trouble” comes as the LORD allows Satan to work through his so-called friends, whom he continues to listen to and argues his own righteousness, and never sees the LORD working to draw these false accusers into the open {and in the fires refine Job). The end of His troubles comes as the LORD, speaking through Elihu, gives him an understanding of his experience, and after realizing he is thereby hearing the LORD’s voice, as from the whirlwind: His Almighty Spirit blowing away all other voices, he, at last, sees Him.

Job 29
21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain [malqowsh].
24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforts the mourners.

Job 30 
1 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.

8 They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the Earth.

14 They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
15 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passes away as a cloud.
16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

Proverbs 16
9 A man’s heart devises his way: but the LORD directs his steps.
10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresses not in judgment.
11 A just weight and balance are the LORD’s: all the weights of the bag are his work.
12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaks right.
14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15 In the light [understanding] of the king’s countenance [presence] is life; and his favor is as a cloud [from where understanding comes] of the latter rain [malqowsh].
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keeps his way preserves his soul.
18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty [gbahh – arrogant, self-exaltated] spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that handles a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increases learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that has it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.

Listening to (and following) the foolish, instead of the LORD, is spiritually described as whoredom, and those committing it as harlots. The next time malqowsh appears, in Jeremiah 3:3, the LORD defines His people by these appellatives, and says because of their unfaithfulness, the latter rain has been withheld (it is unable to come when you’re instead listening to foolishness). In verse 1, He says, “you have played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, says the LORD,” and in verse 2, “you have polluted the land [‘erets – earth] with your whoredoms and with your wickedness.”

Jeremiah 3
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no latter rain [malqowsh]; and you had a whore’s forehead, you refused to be ashamed.
4 Will you not from [at] this time cry unto me, My father, you are the guide [friend] of my youth?
5 Will he reserve his anger forever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done evil things as you could.

Revelation 17
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colors, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon [confusion] The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

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.

Jeremiah 3
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, 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: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.

Revelation 17
12 And the ten horns [all the world’s governments] which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast [Babylon – Confusion that rules the world].
13 These have one mind [of confusion, turned delusion, and now worldwide insanity], and shall give their power and strength unto the beast [Babylon – Confusion that rules the world].
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is LORD of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he says unto me, The waters [the sea] which you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns [all the civil governments of the world] which you saw upon the beast, these shall hate the whore [God’s people, as Job], and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God has put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast [to Babylon – the confusion that rules the world], until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman [God’s unfaithful people] which you saw is that great city [also become ruled by the same worldly confusion: Babylon], which [Babylon: confusion] reigns over the kings [church and state] of the Earth.

Acts 7
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets [in Amos 5:25 thru 27 when judgment runs down from heaven as water], 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 [king, from malak – Obama, and his trans husband, the trans cult to which you offered your children – in their fires they create to normalize their repulsive perversion], and the star of your god Remphan [who led you into death], figures which you made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon [beyond confusion, into delusion, and now mass insanity].

Amos 5
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 [mass ignorance], and not light [understanding].
19 As if a man did flee from a lion [the wicked roaring], and a bear met him; or went into the house [of his idols], and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness [as now when ignorance and insanity rule the world], and not light [without understanding]? even very dark, and no brightness in it [because they reject the light and hide themselves from it]?
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell [be perceived] 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 [you sing to your idols you call by My name]; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.
24 But let 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, 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 [justify] yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus [where the LORD’s work is silenced and His people are drunken and in tears], says the LORD, whose name [identity] is The God of hosts [a man of war].

Jeremiah 5
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, which have placed the sand for the bound [limit] of the sea [all humanity] by a perpetual [‘ owlam] decree [choq – declaring this appointed time], that it cannot pass it [‘abar – Passover]: and though the waves [the pride of men] thereof toss themselves [ga’ash – to violently agitate the sea], yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it [‘abar – Passover]?
23 But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone [halak – walked away from the LORD].
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that gives rain, both the former [yowreh] and the latter [malqowsh], in his season: he reserves unto us [for] the appointed weeks [sevened – for our spiritual perfection] of the harvest.
25 Your iniquities [following wicked men into wickedness] 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, as he that sets snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their [corrupt] houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great [gadal], and waxen rich.
28 They are waxen fat, they shine [as false prophets claiming they have 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 – shall I not come as the Chief Overseer of the Earth, to set these things right] for these things? says the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land [‘erets – the Earth];
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means [deceit]; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof [‘achariyth – in these last days]?

Hosea 6
1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he has torn, and he will heal 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, 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 [the light of this new day]; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [malqowsh] and former rain [yowreh] unto the Earth.
4 O Ephraim [My people at large in this generation], what shall I do unto you [more than I have done]? O Judah [My elect remnant], what shall I do unto you [more than I have done]? for your goodness is as a morning cloud [this understanding of the new day], and as the early dew [when My word has appeared on the Earth] it goes away [halak – that you have walked away from].
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 [understanding] that goes forth [yatsa’ – from Me to lead you into life].
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.

Zechariah 10
1 Ask you of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain [malqowsh]; so the LORD shall make bright clouds [full of understanding], and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field [new life on Earth on this third day of the new creation].
2 For the idols have spoken vanity [worthless thing they falsely claim they’ve seen], and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain [with worthless words]: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd [ra’ah – leading by seeing as the LORD sees].
3 My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats [the devils misleading the flock]: for the LORD of hosts has visited [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the Earth] his flock the house of Judah [His elect remnant], and has made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
4 Out of him came forth the corner [turning His people at large to Him], out of him the nail [in which they can trust], out of him the battle bow [on which he fires Ephraim, the arrows in His quiver], out of him every [good] leader together.
5 And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire [in their own clouded waters] of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the [wicked] riders on horses [who come against Him] shall be confounded.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph [Ephraim], and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.
7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.
8 I will hiss [draw their attention to the LORD] for them, and gather them [into His ONE BODY]; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
9 And I will sow [as good seed] them among the people: and they shall remember [zakar – recognize] me in far countries [merchaq – as the one the LORD, at this appointed time has declared His son, by His decree]; and they shall live with their children, and turn again [to the LORD, Yahh to whom it pertains].

Psalms 84
1 How amiable are your tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2 My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh [of My ONE BODY] cries out for the living God.
3 Yea, the sparrow has found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King [Melek], and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will be still [the sea calmed] praising you. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength [understanding] is in you; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca [weeping] make it a well; the rain [mowreh] also filled the pools.
7 They go from strength [understanding] to strength, every one of them [when they understand] in Zion appears [ra’ah – sees] before [the presence of] God.
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of your anointed.
10 For a day in your courts [of your judgment] is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the LORD God is a sun [the brightest among the stars] and shield: the LORD will give grace [this gift of His treasures] and [by this reveal His] glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.

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.

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.

The LORD, above in Isaiah 58:11, speaks of Himself as the “guide” of those He before says (when, as a prerequisite they) “draw out” their soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul. He further says, in verse 10, “then shall your light rise in obscurity, and your darkness be as the noonday.”

The word “guide” is from the Hebrew word nachah, meaning “to guide; by implication, to transport (into exile, or as colonists).” It is speaking of translating us from the authority of darkness into His (authority of) light: the destination where we’re the many lights through whom He works His work. It’s referring us to its appearance in Deuteronomy 32:12, where the LORD says it’s He alone who led Jacob, when He found him in the earth that was “without form” (tohuw – a “waste,” ruled by confusion), and delivered (transported) him into light (understanding) by instructing him.

Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O you heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distill [purify – rightly divide the waters, word, on the earth] 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 of the LORD: ascribe you greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work [in me] is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They [those who’ve brought ignorance upon the world] have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do you thus requite [repay] the LORD [with corruption for the good He’s done for you], O foolish people and unwise? is not he your father that has bought you? has he not made you, and established you [with good leading]?
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 [tohuw – “without form,” in “confusion”] howling [ylel – only appearing here, and speaking the words of devouring beats who are without God’s Spirit leading them] wilderness; he led [nachah – guided] him about [out of darkness], he instructed [biyn, meaning “to separate mentally” – gave understanding, light, to] 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 [taking them into heaven, into full understanding, until they are strengthened to fly there with Him]:
12 So the LORD alone did lead [nachah] him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth.

The words rendered above “kept him as the apple of His eye” are natsar ‘iyshown ‘ayin. Here following are their definitions from the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary:

Strong’s #5341: natsar; a primitive root; to guard, in a good sense (to protect, maintain, obey, etc.) or a bad one (to conceal, etc.).

Strong’s #380: ‘iyshown; diminutive from 376; the little man of the eye; the pupil or ball; hence, the middle (of night).

Strong’s #5869: `ayin; probably a primitive word; an eye (literally or figuratively); by analogy, a fountain (as the eye of the landscape).

The word ‘ayin is affinitive of the word mayim, meaning water, and speaks of the eye and fountain as the places from where pure waters (tears) come.

The word ‘iyshown is a compounding of the words (376) ‘iysh, meaning man, and hown (from huwn, meaning “to be naught [unseen], i.e. (figuratively) to be (causatively act) light”), meaning “wealth; by implication, enough.” Both words are said to be from ‘own, meaning (successful effort) ability, power, figuratively wealth, and most often rendered “strength.”

Isaiah uses the word ‘own twice, both in Isaiah 40 rendered “might.”

Isaiah 40
21 Have you not known? have you not heard? has it not been told you from the beginning? have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he that sits upon the circle [the circuit, from beginning to end] of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretches out the heavens [His understanding] as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he makes the judges of the earth as vanity [tohuw – “without form,” in “confusion”].
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow [nashaph – only appearing here and in Exodus 15:10, when the sea covered the pursuing enemies who ignorantly entered the LORD’s trap] upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind [His Almighty Spirit] shall take them away as stubble.
25 To whom then will you liken me, or shall I be equal? says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might [‘own], for that he is strong in power; not one fails.
27 Why say you, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hidden from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends [the circle, beginning and end] of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might [‘own] he increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles [and fly in full understanding, in heaven, with the LORD]; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Exodus 15
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 [the elements of deep understanding came together, like rain in the cloud of heaven] in the heart of the sea [in the minds of God’s people {Ephraim} in this generation].
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 [nashaph] 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 [nachah] the people which you have redeemed: you have guided them in your strength unto your holy habitation.

The final two (of the twelve) times the word ‘own appears are in Hosea, both in chapter 12, the first in verse 3, rendered “strength,” and the other in verse 8, rendered “substance.”

Hosea 12
1 Ephraim [God’s people in this generation] feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind: he daily increases lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians [the communists], and oil is carried into Egypt [the oppressors holding them down].
2 The LORD has also a controversy [riyb – the same spoken of in Isaiah 34:8, about who will rule the new world] with Judah [the current crop of corrupt leaders], and will punish [paqad – visit] Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense [shuwb – convert] him.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength [‘own] he had power with God:
4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us;
5 Even the LORD God of hosts [who is a man of war]; the LORD is his memorial [he will remember Him].
6 Therefore turn you to your God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on your God continually.
7 He [Ephraim] is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loves to oppress.
8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance [‘own – strength]: in all my [self-righteous] labors they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
9 And I that am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt will yet make you to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast [this appointed time, when you come out of the houses of corruption].
10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
11 Is there iniquity in Gilead [this mountain of testimony]? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal [the places where their waters are full of confusion and strife]; yea, their altars are as heaps [waves of pride] in the furrows of the fields [referring to Hosea 10:2 thru 4].
12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
14 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him.

Hosea 10
2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

10 It is in my desire that I should chastise [correct] them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows [as two armies, two walls of the waters of the Red sea].
11 And Ephraim is as a heifer that is taught [referring us to Jeremiah 31:18 & 19], and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
13 You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman [they worshipped strange fire] spoiled Betharbel [the house of God’s ambush] in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 So shall Bethel [the house of God] do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning [shachar – the dawning of this new day] shall the [corrupt] king of Israel utterly be cut off.

Jeremiah 31
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself saying; You have chastised [corrected] me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn [shuwb] you me, and I shall be turned [shuwb]; for you are the LORD my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned [shuwb], 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 [the way of heaven], even the way which you went: turn again [shuwb], O virgin of Israel, turn again [shuwb] 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 [shuwb] 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 [quwts], and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
27 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, says the LORD.
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eats the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge [every man shall be responsible for His own sins {words and works} not for those that have come before them].
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 brake, 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.
35 Thus says the LORD, which gives the sun for a light [the church, His ONE BODY to Give His understanding] by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light [His people in His just civil government] by night [to give His light to the ignorant], which divides the sea [into two walls] when the waves [pride] thereof roar [open their mouths with words of ignorance]; The LORD of hosts [who is a man of war] is his name:
36 If those ordinances depart from before me, says the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever.
37 Thus says the LORD; If heaven [the LORD’s endless understanding] above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath [by man], I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says the LORD.

Job 38
1 Then the LORD answered Job [His people who are hated by the corrupt world] 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, 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 [shachar] to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends [the end and the new beginning] of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal [chowtham – God’s signature {identity – name} pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment [as on the mountain, seen as the shining garments of light, as Moses and Elijah].
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 thing 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 speak of God’s word frozen {reserved} in heaven, for this moment]
23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
24 By what way is the light parted [into the rainbow], which scatter the east wind upon the earth?
25 Who has divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder [understanding and its voice – these are speaking of what is written in Revelation 10:1 thru 4, of understanding reserved for this moment];
26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man [referring us to Jeremiah 4:25, when there was no man, after verse 23 says, “I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form {tohuw}, and void {bohuw}; and the heavens, and they had no light.”];
27 To satisfy [saba’] the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
28 Has the rain a father? or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who has gendered it?
30 The waters are hid as with a stone [who is Christ – see 1 Corinthians 10:1 thru 4], and the face of the deep is frozen.
31 Can you bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
32 Can you bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or can you guide [nachah] Arcturus with his sons?
33 Know you the ordinances of heaven? can you set the dominion thereof in the earth [Can you bring to light the order in heaven showing it rules over the earth]?
34 Can you lift up your voice to the clouds [where understanding is held], that abundance of waters may cover you?
35 Can you send lightning, that they may go and say unto you, Here we are?
36 Who [except God] has put wisdom in the inward parts? or who has given understanding to the heart?
37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay [reserve until now] the bottles of heaven,
38 When [without the waters of heaven] the dust grows into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
39 Shall you hunt the prey for the lion [will you seek these things out to return strength to the strong]? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
40 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait [for their LORD, the lion of Judah]?
41 Who provides for the raven [those covered in darkness] his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat [this word of God, meant for men, to return their strength].

Psalms 19
1 The heavens [full understanding] declare the glory of God; and the firmament [called heaven, when the water above are separated from the waters belows] shows his handy-work [the work of His hand].
2 Day unto day [when the light is upon the earth] utters speech [understanding], and night unto night shows knowledge [to the ignorant in darkness].
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 of the [corrupt] world. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end [the beginning] of the heaven [full understanding], and his circuit unto the ends [the end of the corrupt and beginning of the new day] of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting [shuwb] the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his [own] errors? cleanse you me from secret faults [of ignorance].
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression [opposing God working – unknown to the ignorant].
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.

Isaiah 58
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen [to cease from speaking the word of corrupt men]? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal your bread [this full understanding 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, that you cover him; and that you hide not yourself from your own flesh?
8 Then shall your light [understanding] break forth as the morning [of this new day], and your health shall spring forth speedily: and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD [upon 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 [the worthless words of men];
10 And if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light [understanding] rise in obscurity, and your darkness be as the noon day [your ignorance turned to full understanding]:
11 And the LORD shall guide [nachah] 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, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath 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 heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.

Deuteronomy 32
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 [‘azab].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no 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.
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 revenge 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.

Proverbs 20
18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
20 Whoso curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure [‘iyshown – and the strength of that man shall become] darkness.
21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
22 Say not you, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save you [from evil].
23 Divers weights [unequal justice] are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.
24 Man’s goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way [without His Spirit guiding him]?
25 It is a snare to the man who devours that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry [into the damage he has done – as now with regard to all prosperity and achievement under attack, intentional destruction, by those who shift the blame to those that aren’t the cause].
26 A wise king scatters the wicked, and brings the wheel over them.
27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upheld by mercy.
29 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.
30 The blueness of a wound cleanses away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

Psalms 17
1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from your presence; let your eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 You have proved mine heart; you have visited me in the night; you have tried me, and shall find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in your paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon you, for you will hear me, O God: incline your ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Show your marvelous [eye opening] lovingkindness, O you that saves by your right hand [the power in your work] them which put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye [‘iyshown – by strengthening my eye], hide me under the shadow of your wings [as you fly in the heavens, by the strength of your full understanding],
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouths they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is your sword:
14 From men which are your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure [saba’]: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold your face [paniym – presence] in righteousness: I shall be satisfied [saba’], when I awake [quwts – the word rendered “watches” in Ezekiel 7:6, telling of the end (qets) come, awakening to the morning {tsphiyrah} of the crowning}], with your likeness.

The LORD’s “likeness” (tmuwnah – from miyn, meaning species) is what men awaken to, out of ignorance created by images of God created by misleaders among them (which God commanded, in the second commandment, they not do – Exodus 20:4 thru 6 – because He will visit when they do), abominations they put in God’s place, as spoken of in Ezekiel 7:9. The morning (from the three times used word tsphiyrah), the sun rise of the new day, which crowns the LORD, is described in Isaiah 28. There the crown is removed from the drunkards of Ephraim and the LORD himself is the crown (tsphiyrah – diadem) upon His people (in their minds).

The word tmuwnah deconstructs into – tm-uwn-ah: Tim-the light: strength-of Yahh, and in context, explains the final verse of Psalms 17 above.

Exodus 20
4 You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness [tmuwnah] of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting [paqad] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat [shemem – which is the LORD’s anointing when they are brought down] valleys of them that are overcome with wine [and are thereby unaware of it coming]!
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 [see verse 21 below, which brings the rest], shall cast down [nuwach – bring rest] to the earth with the hand.
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat [shemem – when their mocking {blasphemy} proclaims the King, when they are brought down by their own ignorance] 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, and for a diadem [tsphiyrah – a crown] 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 [see Psalms 118:19 & 20 below].
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 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 – the report, teaching, and the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26 below]? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts [who now draw from the Ancient of days: wisdom].
10 For 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 will he speak [truth they don’t understand] to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest [mnuwchah – resting place, in heaven, in the LORD’s presence, in full understanding] wherewith you may cause the weary to rest [nuwach]; and this is the refreshing: yet they 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 [mockers and blasphemers vilifying this word and work of God: the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost who the world doesn’t know – YET], 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.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – the sound doctrine, teaching, and the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26 below].

The above speaking of word of God coming, to bring rest and refreshing, His teaching line upon line, precept upon precept, is describing manna, the word from God’s mouth, by which, when filled (saba’) by it, man’s eyes are opened (he is awakened) and he comes from death to life.

Proverbs 30
15 The horse-leach hath two daughters [sucking the life from those drinking their waters and never saying it is enough until all life is drained], crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied [saba’], yea, four things say not, It is enough [hown]:
16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled [saba’] with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough [hown].

Psalms 118
14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18 The LORD has chastened me sore: but he has not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise you: for you have heard me, and art become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in [opening] our eyes.
24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now [Hosanna], I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

Deuteronomy 8
2 and you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
3 And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.

5 You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens [corrects] his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.
6 Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

10 When you have eaten and are full [saba’], then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.
11 Beware that you forget not the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command you this day:
12 Lest when you have eaten and are full [saba’], and have built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

14 Then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt [from the oppressors], from the house of bondage;
15 Who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the Rock of flint;
16 Who fed you in the wilderness with manna [the word from the mouth of God], which your fathers knew not, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;
17 And you say in your heart, My power and the might of mine hand has gotten me this wealth.
18 But you shall remember the LORD your God: for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto your fathers, as it is this day.
19 And it shall be, if you do at all forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroyed before your face, so shall you perish; because you would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God [correcting His children].

Ezekiel 7
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Also, you son of man, thus says the LORD GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
3 Now is the end come upon you, and I will send mine anger upon you, and will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense upon you all your abominations.
4 And mine eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am the LORD.
5 Thus says the LORD GOD; An evil, an only evil [none like it, as in Daniel 12:1], behold, is come. [Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble {tsarah – tribulation}, but he shall be saved out of it. 8 For it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: 9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.]
6 An end [qets] is come, the end [qets] is come: it watches [quwts – awakens] for you; behold, it is come.
7 The morning [tsphiyrah – the crown, the crowning of the LORD’s chosen, the man of God, as was David] is come unto you, O you that dwells in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
8 Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon you, and accomplish mine anger upon you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations.
9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense you according to your ways and your abominations that are in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the LORD that smites.
10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning [tsphiyrah – the crowning] is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.

25 Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor [shmuw’ah – teaching sound doctrine and reporting truth] shall be upon rumor [shmuw’ah – teaching and reporting, precept and line, that isn’t believed, and the man of God reporting it is still unknown – because of the lies and misleading of those who’ve blinded the world by drunkenness]; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Psalms 9
1 I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvelous [eye opening] works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.
4 For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
5 You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name forever and ever.
6 O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall endure forever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

I Am “a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.”

I Am “a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.”

The word here rendered “set” is the eight times used Greek word tasso, meaning “to arrange in an orderly manner, i.e. assign or dispose (to a certain position or lot):–addict, appoint, determine, ordain, set.”

It’s first used as Matthew documents the LORD’s words, after His resurrection, to those who doubted.

Matthew 28
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed [tasso] them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power [exousia – authority] is given unto me in heaven and in earth [ge].
19 Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost [the mystery of godliness – Jehovah manifested in the flesh of His son(s), who works unknown, teaching into all truth, to reveal the Father in him]:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world [aion – the age]. Amen.

Hebrews 13
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
6 So that we may boldly say, The LORD is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation [when full understanding comes].
8 Jesus Christ [Jehovah manifested in the flesh for our salvation] the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
9 Be not carried about with [the winds of] divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace [this gift of God]; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

The word rendered, “them which have the rule over,” in verse 7 above, is the Greek word hegeomai, meaning “to lead, i.e. command (with official authority); figuratively, to deem, i.e. consider.”

It (hegeomai) is the word Peter uses twice, in 2 Peter 3:9 & 15, when describing the longsuffering work of the LORD, not wanting any to perish, but always holding on to the hope that all would come to repentance.

2 Peter 3
9 The LORD is not slack [braduno – has not tarried] concerning his promise [spoken in Matthew 28:20 and Hebrews 13:5], as some men count [hegeomai] slackness [brandutes – appearing only here speaking of the way men think the LORD is tarrying, not understanding he has not, but is with us unknown working and speaking – until we realize]; 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 foundational elements of corrupt thinking – which blind the world to the ever-present LORD] 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 – blinding corruption] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth 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 [hegeomai] 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 [not seeing the deep before us below the surface], as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia].

Friends, I tell you the truth – just as these ideas are here in plain sight yet unseen, so has the LORD come “unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power [exousia – authority] to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.”

Revelation 18
1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power [exousia – the Highest Authority]; and the earth was lightened [given understanding] with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon [the confusion that now rules the world] the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.”
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she has filled fill to her double.
7 How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the LORD God who judges her.

Revelation 19
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name [identity – given authority] written, that no man knew [understood], but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And LORD Of Lords [I come in the name of the ONE with the Authority to give me His Authority].
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun [I stand in the light of this new day]; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

The word braduno, which Peter uses in 2 Peter 3:9, meaning “to delay:–be slack, tarry,” only appears one other time, as Paul speaks to Timothy about the mystery of godliness. He is describing the manner of God’s house and the “office of deacon,” from the word daikoneo, meaning a waiter, as one who disperses food to many (feeding the LORD’s sheep). He is speaking of the LORD working through (in) us (tarrying) unknown, longsuffering to bring all to repentance, even now in this end time when all have turned from the truth and to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils (misleaders – the unfaithful “she” spoken of in Revelation above).

1 Timothy 3
13 For they that have used the office of a deacon [diakoneo – waiter of tables, delivering the word from God’s mouth, by which men live] well purchase [peripoieomai – only appearing here and in Acts 20:28 where it is the LORD’s blood that purchases us out of sin] to themselves a good degree [bathmos, only here, for bathos meaning profundity, as mysteries; rendered deep or depth], and great boldness [the authority to speak the mysteries of God, the great depth below the surface] in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14 These things write I unto you, hoping to come unto you shortly:
15 But if I tarry [braduno] long [the LORD longsuffering unknown], that you mayest know how you ought to behave yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit [while unknown], seen of angels [understood by those who become His messengers], preached unto the Gentiles [those who don’t know the mystery of God’s manner], believed on in the world, received up into glory.

1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [Here Paul is referring to His word of warning, which Luke records in Acts 20:28 and the surrounding verses.]
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats [those “forbidding” are those Paul speaks of in 2 Timothy 2:17, Hymenaeus and Philetus, who are saying the resurrection {joining with the LORD in ONE BODY} is past, whose names say they are hidding behind the mask of spurious love, and forbid those who follow them from joining with the LORD, leaving {coming out from among them – as in Revelation 18:4 above} their corrupt houses and coming into His ONE BODY], which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6 If you put the brethren in remembrance of these things, you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto you have attained.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself rather unto godliness [as defined in 1 Timothy 3:16 above].
8 For bodily exercise profits little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10 For therefore we both labor and [long] suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe.
11 These things command and teach.
12 Let no man despise your youth; but be you an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift [grace] that is in you, which was given you by prophecy [1 Timothy 1:18, says they went before on him – of me], with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them; that your profiting may appear to all.
16 Take heed unto yourself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this you shall both save yourself, and them that hear you [for which I have been sent].

Acts 20
19 Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews [Judah – the leaders who say they know the LORD, taking His name in vain]:
20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shown you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our LORD Jesus Christ.
22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the LORD Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25 And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased [pereipoieomai] with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace [His gift], which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Yea, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 I have shown you all things, how that so laboring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the LORD Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Romans 11
25 For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as you in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God has concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth [bathos – mysteries] of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are [they cannot be found by men, only God reveals them] his judgments, and his ways [the manner in which He reveals His presence] past finding out!
34 For who has known the mind of the LORD? or who has been his counselor?
35 Or who has first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen.

1 Corinthians 2
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God [not that I learned but only what He gave me, His grace bestowed].
2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to naught:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.
10 But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep [bathos] things of God.
11 For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who has known the mind of the LORD, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

In verse 9 above, speaking of things the princes (powers – those exercising authority) of the world don’t know, the deep of which they are ignorant, and therefore crucified the flesh veiling the LORD of glory, Paul quotes from Isaiah 64:4.

The (many times discussed) word esousia, is the same word that appears in the title (from Luke 7:8) rendered “authority.” In Luke, the verse begins with “For I also am,” as “a certain centurion” is, in recognition of the LORD’s authority, comparing it (exousia) to his. Of this faith in Him, the LORD then says, “I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.”

Luke only uses the word centurion one other time, in Luke 23:47, as he (the LORD in him) describes the crucifixion.

Luke 23
44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

When Luke speaks of “giving up the ghost,” he uses the three times used word ekpneo; ek meaning through this manner, and pneo, a seven times used word meaning, “to breathe hard, i.e. breeze:–blow.”

It (pneo) is the word, rendered “blows” in John 3:8, used to tell of the Spirit moving where He will, and men hearing the voice (of God) but not knowing where it comes from or where it is going.

John 3
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water [the word of God] and of the [understanding that only come by His] Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again.
8 The wind blows [pneo] where it wills, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus [those who overcome the crowd – the stench of ignorance that pervades this evil generation] answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Are you a master [teacher] of Israel, and know not these things?
11 Truly, truly, I say unto you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen [been given sight by the marvelous work of the LORD Himself]; 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 [of the full understanding God has given as a gift]?
13 And no man has ascended up to heaven [into full understanding], but he that [whose understanding] came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven [who has full understanding].
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
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 [by their own ignorance and that of those they follow into perdition], 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 [identity] of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation [krisis – the decision point when men decide their own fate], that light [understanding] is come into the world, and men loved darkness [ignorance] rather than light, because their deeds were evil [the choice that keeps the dead in darkness and death].
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.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried [long-suffered] with them, and baptized [taking them below the surface of the waters, into the deep therein].

Isaiah 64 begins with Isaiah (those that Jehovah saves) asking for what he is seeing and not comprehending. Chapter 65 begins with the LORD telling of being found by a nation not called by His name, meaning not knowing His identity. In this context, He then tells of the dead who remain among the dead, saying to Him, “Stand by yourself, come not near to me, for I am holier than you.”

They don’t recognize Him because they don’t understand only the son reveals the Father, and only the Father the son; by the word of God coming through His work (first) unknown (as the Holy Ghost).

Matthew 11
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things [in a mystery] 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 [for that which never gets you to the Father or the son] and are heavy laden, 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].

Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would rend the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might flow down at your presence,
2 As when the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil, to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
3 When you did terrible things which we looked not for, you came down, the mountains flowed down at your presence.
4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, beside you, what he has prepared for him that waits for him.
5 You meetest him that rejoices and worketh righteousness, those that remember you in your ways: behold, you are wroth; for we have sinned: in those [your ways] is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness is as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 And there is none that calleth upon your name, that stirs up himself to take hold of you: for you have hid your face from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 But now, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity forever: behold, see, we beseech you, we are all your people.
10 Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12 Will you refrain yourself for these things, O LORD? will you hold your peace, and afflict us very sore?

Isaiah 65
1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoke me to anger continually to my face; that sacrifice in gardens, and burns incense upon altars of brick [made by the hands of man];
4 Which remain among the graves [among the dead], and lodge in the monuments [the tombs that house the dead], which eat swine’s flesh [unclean things], and broth of abominable things is in their vessels [which the put in God’s place];
5 Which say, “Stand by yourself, come not near to me; for I am holier than you” [showing their self-righteousness]. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, says the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
8 Thus says the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do [send this blessing] for my servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10 And Sharon [these things brought into plain sight] shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor [where they were in tribulation] a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
11 But you are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop [the enemy army mixed among us, at war to destroy God’s people, our nation, and our better culture, while they claim it’s for our peace and safety], and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and you shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
13 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed:
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
15 And you shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the LORD God shall slay you, and call his servants by another name:
16 That he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles [tribulation] are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 But be you glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

Revelation 21
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Hebrews 12
You have 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.
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:
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.

Psalms 101
1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto you, O LORD, will I sing.
2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when will you come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5 Whoso privily slanders his neighbor, him will I cut off: him that has a high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he [known liars telling known lies] that tells lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

Now will I rise, says the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

Now will I rise, says the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

The above, Isaiah 33:10, is the LORD speaking of now, when none are “left,” when all are confounded, and the land (‘erets – the earth, all truth in it) is “forsaken.” The following, which we’ve discussed in recent posts, are the verses saying this and telling of it as when the LORD comes (has come) to judge the earth.

Jeremiah 9
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out [“into the midst of deceit” – see verse 6 below].

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.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things? says the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

The word rendered “forsaken,” above in verse 19, is the Hebrew word ‘azab, referring us to Deuteronomy 32:36, there saying it’s when the LORD sees it, that none are “left,” when His people’s power is gone, He will come to judge the earth.

Deuteronomy 32
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight [that there is none left], except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31 For their rock 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, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongs vengeance [naqam 5359] 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 [‘azab].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods [who are men who’ve put themselves in God’s place], their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no 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.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance [naqam 5359] 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 [naqam 5358] the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance [naqam 5359] to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

As we’ve seen, this condition, above described as “confounded,” is later, in Isaiah 34:11, described by (the LORD through) Isaiah, as laid out by a line of confusion, upon which are built stone of emptiness. We’re told in verse 8, “it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance [naqam 5359], and the year of recompenses for the controversy [who will rule the earth] of Zion.”

The word here rendered “recompenses” is the three times used Hebrew word shilluwm, meaning “from 7999; a requital, i.e. (secure) retribution, (venal) a fee:–recompense, reward.” The word its from (7999) is shalam (the Salem in Jerusalem: peace that flows through God’s teaching), meaning “to be safe (in mind, body or estate); figuratively, to be (causatively, make) completed; by implication, to be friendly; by extension, to reciprocate (in various applications).”

In context, the other two uses of the shilluwm, Hosea 9:7 and Micah 7:3, define the time and the LORD’s visitation, His judgment: the punishment of those destroying His people, and the reward of the meek who inherit the earth.

Hosea 9
7 The days of visitation have come, the days of recompense [shilluwm] have come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad [cannot distinguish between reality and his delusions], for the multitude of your iniquity, and the great hatred [deception they put in place of the love of God’s truth].
8 The watchman [tsaphah – the overseer – who see what is coming] of Ephraim [of God’s people in this generation] was with my God: but the prophet is [the many false prophets are] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred [lies, abominations they put] in the house of his God.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

The word “left” above (in verse 12) doesn’t appear in the original text, while, in context, it refers to the Hebrew word ‘azab, it more specifically points us to Jeremiah 4:25. There we are told of the condition of the earth, when the LORD looked, and there was “no man.”

Jeremiah 4
…now also will I give sentence against them.
13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
14 O Jerusalem, wash your heart [with these pure waters] from wickedness, that you mayest be saved. How long shall your vain thoughts lodge within you?
15 For a voice declares from Dan [this judgment], and publishes affliction from mount Ephraim [to God’s people in this generation].
16 Make you mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers [the false prophets watching for their chance to destroying you with their misleading] come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she has been rebellious against me [against My good leading], says the LORD.
18 Your way and your doings have procured these things unto you; this is your wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reaches unto your heart [it corrupts your thinking].
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet [the voice of the archangel – the good watchman], the alarm of war [of the wicked against us – which God’s people refuse to acknowledge].
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
21 How long shall I see the standard [nec – the son of man lifted up, as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness], and hear the sound [qowl – voice] of the trumpet [of the archangel and not join him sounding the alarm of war]?
22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish [cakal – foolish] children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens [the place of understanding] were fled.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
27 For thus has the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black [in the place where there should be understanding there is instead ignorance]; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

Jeremiah 5
21 Hear now this, O foolish [cakal] 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, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea [this generation as the end of the corrupt world] by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves [the pride of the dead in power] thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it [this end]?
23 But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
24 Neither say they in their heart [not seeing the reality of this moment], Let us now fear the LORD our God, that gives rain [His word from heaven], both the former and the latter, in his season [this appointed time]: he reserves unto us [this generation] the appointed weeks of the harvest.
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
26 For among my people are found wicked men [in power]: they lay wait, as he that sets 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 [the Aristocracy, that is now attempting to destroy humanity while claiming they are its saviors].

As we understand, the words “confusion” and “emptiness,” in Isaiah 34:11, and “without form, and void,” in Jeremiah 4:23, are both respectively the Hebrew words tohuw and bohuw. These words only appear one other time together, the only other time bohuw is used, in Genesis 1:2, identically translated as “without form, and void,” when darkness (ignorance) covered the face of the deep (understanding). We are told of the rescue beginning when the Spirit of God (the LORD unknown in the darkness) moved upon the surface of the water (revealing what is below in the deep). What is produced is light, understanding (in one, the Only-begotten of God – Christ the first-fruit, and then all those who are His at His coming) un-comprehended in the ignorance (as a thief in the night).

Isaiah 34 tells us how ignorance comes, saying: 12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing. 13 And thorns {misleader – as overgrowing in a time of neglect} shall come up in her palaces {the places of power}, nettles and brambles {deceivers} in the fortresses {in the strongholds where we should be in safety} thereof: and it shall be a habitation of dragons {who devour with their wide open mouths}, and a court for owls {who hunt souls in the darkness}.

The word rendered “nobles” is chor, meaning “white or pure (from the cleansing or shining power of fire.)” This descriptively says they (princes) have this quality and the power to bring those they lead into this state. When it says, they are instead “nothing,” it is the Hebrew word ‘ephec, meaning “cessation, i.e. an end (especially of the earth),” which refers us to its use in Isaiah 41:12, saying “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 [‘ephec].”

Isaiah 41
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 [buwsh – disappointed by not reaching the end they seek] and confounded [and confused when they don’t]: 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 [‘ephec].
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 [for this word of God], 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 [living] water.

Micah 7
1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first-ripe fruit.
2 The good man [the fruit] is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asks, and the judge asks for a reward [shilluwm]; and the great man, he utters his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of your watchmen and your visitation comes; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Trust you not in a friend, put you not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of your mouth from her that lies in your bosom.
6 For the son dishonor the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness [in ignorance], the LORD shall be a light [understanding] unto me.
9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him [looking to those of His, and not looking to the maker thereof], until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light [by His understanding], and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD your God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 In the day that your walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
12 In that day also he shall come even to you from Assyria [from the communists], and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river [of these living waters], and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit [the misleaders she raised to power] of their doings.
14 Feed your people with your rod, the flock of your heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel [this garden – the land that is like Eden]: let them feed in Bashan [among His flock] and Gilead [from this mountain of testimony], as in the days of old.
15 According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt [out from under oppressors] will I show unto him marvelous things [by opening your eyes of understanding].
16 The nations shall see [these marvels] and be confounded [buwsh – disappointed when their words of confusion don’t get them what they seek] at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of you.
18 Who is a God like unto you, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the [elect] remnant of his heritage? he retains not his anger forever, because he delights in mercy.
19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 You will perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which you have sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

The LORD, in verse 3 above, speaking of the shilluwm (the just recompense, not the “reward” they desire) of the wicked, says it is by their own “mischievous” (havvah) desire they are “confounded.” The word havvah is from the six times used word hava’, meaning to breathe (speak), into existence.

In this context, and seeing the contrast, here are several of the appearances of hava’.

Job 37
2 Hear attentively the noise [rogez – relentlessness] of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning [understanding from heaven] unto the ends of the [ending the old and creating the new] earth.
4 After it a voice roars [as a Lion against the pride of Jordan]: he thunder [the voice of the light heard from heaven, the place of full understanding] with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them [He will not hold back understanding] when his voice is heard.
5 God thunders marvelously [opening blind eyes] with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend [until our ignorance is removed].
6 For he says to the snow [His word frozen, reserved unto fire, in heaven], Be [hava’ – come into existence] on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength [this word of God from heaven, which when understood {rain and light} brings life on earth].
7 He seals up the hand [the work] of every man; that all men may know [understand] his work.
8 Then the beasts [without His Spirit] go into dens, and remain in their places.
9 Out of the south comes the whirlwind [His Almighty Spirit against the ignorance of the wicked]: and cold out of the north [the darkness, ignorance, by which His word is frozen – present but not understood].
10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened [ordered into understanding].
11 Also by watering he wearies [tarach – overburdens] the thick cloud [that it can no longer hold back the rain in it]: he scatters [puwts – disperses {His understanding} from] his bright cloud [where the elements {of understanding} are held when they were removed from the earth]:
12 And it is turned round about [they return, as the wheel within a wheel, written understand sent to give understanding] by his counsels: that they may do [accomplish] whatsoever he commands them upon the face of the world [the present generation to whom it is sent] in the earth.
13 He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14 Hearken unto this, O Job [my people who are hated by this evil generation]: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Do you know when God disposed them, and caused the light [understanding] of his cloud [held in heaven] to shine [to come upon all who come out of corruption into the shining light of His new day]?
16 Do you know the balancings [when they reach this tipping point and empty their burden] of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17 How your garments are warm [this covering He send to clothe with His righteousness], when he quiets the earth by the south wind [the right hand of His power, the one looking at, watching, the sun rise]?
18 Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong [from where strength comes], and as a molten looking glass [through which He gives us sight]?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him [all should say Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!]; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness [ignorance].
20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak [his own word and opposes God], surely he shall be swallowed up.
21 And now [ignorant] men see not the bright light [this understand in] which is in the clouds: but the wind passes, and cleanses them [of their own ideas, the creations of men, that blind them].
22 Fair weather comes out of the north [clam then comes by coming out of the places of ignorance]: with God is terrible majesty.
23 Touching the Almighty, 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 [the pride that comes before their fall].

Ecclesiastes 2
19 And who knows whether he [those who come after] shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labor [whereby I am given understanding which I pass forward in the wheel] wherein I have labored, and wherein I have shown myself wise under the sun [when God’s light was upon me]. This is also vanity.
20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair [ya’ash – when I understood all this understanding would in time cease] of all the labor which I took under the sun.
21 For there is a man whose labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that has not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion [this inheritance passed to future generations]. This also is vanity and a great evil [by which it is lost].
22 For what has [hava’ – brought into existence] man of all his labor, and of the vexation [to understand] of his heart his own mind], wherein he has labored under the sun [when God’s light is shining upon him]?
23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night [in his time of ignorance]. This is also vanity [worthless worry].
24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw [I understood], that it was from the hand [work] of God [when He wills and only then is understanding again given].
25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
26 For God gives to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner [those led away by their own lusts] he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before [waiting for the presence of] God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

In this context: Solomon comprehending the LORD gave him his understanding, and knowing when passed on, it would be lost in the hands of evil (misleading) men; a process he then, in Ecclesiastes 11:1, calls casting his bread (full understanding) upon the waters, to be found in many days.

Ecclesiastes 11
1 Cast your bread upon the waters: for you shall find it after many days [when God wills].
2 Give a portion [this inheritance] to seven [the congregation of God’s people], and also to eight [for the new creation]; for you know not what evil [misleading] shall be upon the earth [when the darkness will again cover the deep].
3 If the clouds be full of rain [when understanding is removed from the earth], they empty themselves upon the earth [when God wills it to return]: and if the tree [the upright who are God’s right hand] fall toward the south, or toward the north [into darkness], in the place where the tree falls, there it shall be [hava’ – there shall it come into existence by the words men speak].
4 He that observes [shamar, meaning “to hedge about (as with thorns [misleaders])”] the wind [the Spirt of God] shall not sow; and he that regards [ra’ah – advise himself] the clouds [when understand has left the earth] shall not reap.
5 As you know not what is the way of the Spirit [of God working unknown], nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her [the ONE BODY] that is with [a man] child: even so you know not the works of God who makes all.
6 In the morning [when the light of the new day comes] sow your seed, and in the evening [when darkness is approaching] withhold not your hand: for you know not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
7 Truly the light [understanding] is sweet [strength from the mouth of those God gives it], and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes [of understanding] to behold the sun [the light of this new day come]:
8 But if a man lives many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness [ignorance and how has come]; for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity [worthless].
9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth; and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes: but know you, that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
10 Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil [misleading] from your flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity [are worthless without God’s understanding].

When Solomon above warns the young men, he is speaking to those who will very shortly advise his son Rehoboam to abandon his wisdom, even what is written, and bring the beach to the house of David.

1 Kings 12
6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do you advise that I may answer this people?
7 And they spoke unto him, saying, If you will be a servant unto this people this day, and will serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:
9 And he said unto them, What counsel give you that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which your father did put upon us lighter?
10 And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying, Thus shall you speak unto this people that spoke unto you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but make you it lighter unto us; thus shall you say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins.
11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father has chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.
13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men’s counsel that they gave him;
14 And spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

This is the condition of the day.

Isaiah 16
1 Send you the lamb [I AM] to the ruler of the land from Sela [the false rock of the enemies mixed among us] to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab [those who mouth are the gates holding the world in hell] shall be at the fords [crossing over] of Arnon [brawling words].
3 Take counsel, execute judgment; make your shadow as the night [understand your own ignorance] in the midst of the noonday [now when the sun is fully risen – with healing, the cure, in His wings]; hide the outcasts [those who will then come out of hell into life]; bewray not him that wanders [don’t put to shame all the apostates].
4 Let mine outcasts dwell with you, Moab; be [hava’ – come to life, into existence by making your words] a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceases, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride [by which he refuses to surrender to the Highest power], and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.
7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, everyone shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth [the wall of that is broken down] shall you mourn; surely they are stricken.

1 Corinthians 13
8 Charity [agape – the LORD’s mercy revealed in His relentless giving, long-suffering until we receive full understanding] never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away [with the old heaven and earth].
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect [teleios – complete understanding] 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 [through ignorance]; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abides faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

The word Hallelujah, never appearing in the KJV, is the two Hebrew words halal and Yahh.

From the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary:

Strong’s #1984: halal (pronounced haw-lal’) a primitive root; to be clear (orig. of sound, but usually of color); to shine; hence, to make a show, to boast; and thus to be (clamorously) foolish; to rave; causatively, to celebrate; also to stultify:–(make) boast (self), celebrate, commend, (deal, make), fool(- ish, -ly), glory, give (light), be (make, feign self) mad (against), give in marriage, (sing, be worthy of) praise, rage, renowned, shine.

Strong’s #3050: Yahh (pronounced yaw) contraction for 3068, and meaning the same; Jah, the sacred name:–Jah, the LORD, most vehement.

Strong’s #3068: Yhovah (pronounced yeh-ho-vaw’) from 1961 hayah – “to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic; self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God:–Jehovah, the LORD.

These words tell of the LORD manifesting His presence at His will, in the flesh He chooses, through His word only He completely knows.

1 Timothy 3
14 These things write I unto you, hoping to come unto you shortly:
15 But if I tarry long, that you mayest know how you ought to behave yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Revelation 19
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Hallelujah [halal Yahh]; 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.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he says unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he says unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me [as I say unto you], See you do it not: I am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And LORD Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that [by the strength of this understanding] fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Psalms 56
1 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresses me.
2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O you most High.
3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in you.
4 In God I will praise [halal] his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in your anger cast down the people, O God.
8 You tell my wanderings: put you my tears into your bottle: are they not in your book?
9 When I cry unto you, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10 In God will I praise [halal] his word: in the LORD will I praise [halal] his word.
11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 Your vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto you.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death: will not you deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light [understanding] of the living?

Who [but the LORD Himself] has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Who [but the LORD Himself] has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

The word “power,” above in Colossians 1:13, is the Greek word exousia, which we’ve previously discussed in detail. Its meaning is “from 1832 (in the sense of ability); privilege, i.e. (subjectively) force, capacity, competency, freedom, or (objectively) mastery (concretely, magistrate, superhuman, potentate, token of control), delegated influence.”

It is from the word (1832) exesti, meaning a right, to act in public (on behalf, and because of existence – see the post of 22 May 2022), most often rendered “lawful.” Paul gives it context when, in 2 Corinthians 12:4, speaking of his being caught up (harpazo) into the “third heaven,” meaning now when the unspoken things (not public knowledge – secrets) of God are fully known, “and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful [exesti] for a man to utter.”

In this, he also gives us the full understanding of being “caught up,” when the same word (harpazo) appears, rendered the same (“caught up”), in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Luke above, speaking of our full understanding, says we are delivered from the authority (exousia) of darkness: the ignorance (of the knowledge of God) pervading this generation.

Speaking of deliverance (rhoumai) from darkness, when Paul says we are “translated” from it, he uses the (five times used) Greek word methistemi, meaning, “from 3326 [meta] and 2476 [histemi]; to transfer, i.e. carry away, depose or (figuratively) exchange, seduce:–put out, remove, translate, turn away.” The word’s origins tell us it’s speaking of a succession of associations, from the established power of darkness (ignorance) to the authority of light.

Hebrews 10
5 Wherefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do your will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish [histemi] the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest stands [histemi] daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified [separated – reestablished].
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest [into the LORD’s presence at mercy seat] by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh [seeing the Father in the son speaking];
21 And having a high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [episunagoge, “a complete collection; especially a Christian meeting (for worship)”], as the manner of some [who are established, stand, outside of His ONE BODY] is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth [which takes away our sins], there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

The word methistemi (rendered translation) is used to tell of the LORD removing Saul (who the people chose) and raising up (establishing) David (God’s chosen) to the throne.

Acts 13
22 And when he had removed [methistemi] him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
23 Of this man’s seed has God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Savior, Jesus:
24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.
30 But God raised him from the dead:
31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
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 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, 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.

The word episunagoge only appears one other time, in 2 Thessalonians 2:1, there telling us it is our “gathering together” to the LORD Jesus Christ at His coming.

2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together [episunagoge] unto him,
2 That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive [for many false prophets have come and deceived all except the very elect] you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there comes a falling away [apostasia – standing away from God, “defection from truth (properly, the state) (“apostasy”):–falling away, forsake” when none are “left,” see Deuteronomy 32:36 in the previous post telling us this is when the LORD comes – to judge the earth] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [apoleia – who, as Reuben, put themselves in God’s place];
4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now you know what withholds [katecho – holds you down] that he [they] might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work [these phrases tell us it is more than one – they are the legions of demons sitting as the heads of the scattered body, opposing God with their false teaching and misleading]: only he who now lets [katecho – holds you down] will let [will hold you down], until he be taken out of the way [mesos – removed {as was Saul} from among you].
8 And then shall that Wicked [the men in who the spirit of Satan works] be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming [giving understanding]:
9 Even him [I Am], whose coming is after [the apostacy] the working of Satan [the resister] with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion [the insanity that now rules the world and is destroying humanity], that they should believe a lie [from known liars telling known lies – now seeking to finish off the destruction of humanity with the lie of a “climate crisis” {even when they (CNN) were caught admitting the conspiracy}]
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness [who know they are lying and continue with the lie].
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification [separation from the wicked, and establishing you in the truth] of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our LORD Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which has loved us, and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and establish [sterizo] you in every good word and work.

When the LORD says he comes “in the volume of the book” to do the will of the Father, he is speaking of coming and His presence manifested, as it is in me, by His word. That is the authority He’s given, as in me, to judge the guilty world.

Romans 3
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulcher [their words hold them and those who follow them, in death]; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Now we know that what things soever the law says, it says to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation [hilasterion – only here and in Hebrews 9:5 where it is rendered “mercy seat” – meaning the LORD is the ark of the covenant come to the do the will of the Father, manifest His presence in the sacrifice to deliver His word without wavering] through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance [mercy] of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith [that it is the Father manifested in the flesh of the son, first unknown and now in glory revealed].
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by [their] faith, and uncircumcision through [our] faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law [and restore its order].

Psalms 40
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; mine 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 knows.
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: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine 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.

2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother [who is a man of war], unto the church of God which is at Corinth [meaning satiated – given full understanding], with all the saints which are in all Achaia [meaning trouble – tribulation]:
2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the LORD Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort [paraklesis – calling near, into all truth, to rescue us];
4 Who comforts [parakleo – calls us near, into all truth, to rescue] us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort [parakleo – call near, into all truth, to rescue by us] them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted [paraklesis – calling near, into all truth, to rescue us] of God.
5 For as the [long] sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation [paraklesis – calling near, into all truth, to rescue] also abounds by Christ.
6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation [paraklesis – calling near, into all truth, to rescue] and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted [parakleo – called near, into all truth, and rescued], it is for your consolation [parakleo – calling you near, into all truth, to be rescued] and salvation.
7 And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation [paraklesis – calling others near, into all truth, to be rescued].
8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves [because of the guilty sentence], that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead:
10 Who delivered [rhoumai] us from so great a death, and does deliver [rhoumai]: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [rhoumai] us;
11 You also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
13 For we write none other things unto you, that what you read or acknowledge; and I trust you shall acknowledge even to the end;
14 As also you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as you also are ours in the day of the LORD Jesus.

Romans 11
1 I say then, Has God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin [as Saul {a king} over God’s people, until Timothy comes in the end times].
2 God has not cast away his people which he foreknew [we are God’s people from throughout history]. Know you not what the scripture says of Elijah? how he makes intercession to God against Israel saying,
3 LORD, they have killed your prophets, and digged down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what says the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal [the idols of the old and corrupt world].
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel has not obtained that which he seeks for; but the election has obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
9 And David says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap [which it is, and because of which they are found guilty], and a stumbling-block, and a recompence unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened [ignorant of their own guilt], that they may not see, and bow down their back always [to their enemies who among them made the ignorant].
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles [those who don’t know God and aren’t celled His people], for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life [the resurrection] from the dead?
16 For if the first-fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them partake of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if you boast, you bear not the root, but the root you.
19 You will say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not you.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise you also shall be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if you wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness [darkened eyes unable to see the Father in the son] in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written [Isaiah 27:9 and 59:20 & 21], There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer [rhomai], and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins [the errors that blind them].
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as you [the elect remnant – the first fruit] in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God has concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon ALL.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who has known the mind of the LORD? or who has been his counselor?
35 Or who has first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen.

Isaiah 27
8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, you will debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
9 By this, therefore, shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones [as the cretaceous {chalk} period – nothing remaining but dead bones] that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up [quwm – shall not be established].

Isaiah 59
1 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins [the errors that blind you] have hid his face [presence] from you, that he will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perverseness.
4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleads for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eats of their eggs dies, and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goes therein shall not know peace.
9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither does justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
13 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
15 Yea, truth fails; and he that departs from evil makes himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
17 For he [the LORD in His man of war] put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD [who is a man of war] from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
20 And the Redeemer [ga’al – the rhomai] shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, says the LORD.
21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, says the LORD; My spirit that is upon you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed’s seed, says the LORD, from henceforth and forever.

Psalms 69
1 Save me, O God; for the waters [below, in which is death] are come in unto my soul.
2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
5 O God, you know my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from you.
6 Let not them that wait on you, O LORD God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek you be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
7 Because for your sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face.
8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
9 For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.
10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
13 But as for me, my prayer is unto you, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation.
14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Hear me, O LORD; for your lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of your tender mercies.
17 And hide not your face from your servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
18 Draw near [to comfort, to lead us into all truth] unto my soul, and redeem [ga’al – rhomai] it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19 You have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: mine adversaries are all before you.
20 Reproach has broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom you have smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom you have wounded.
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into your righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let your salvation, O God, set me up on high [on Your throne].
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that has horns and hoofs.
32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33 For the LORD hears the poor, and despises not his prisoners.
34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moves therein.
35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Psalms 21
1 The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
3 For you prevented [went before] him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked life of you, and you gave it him, even length of days forever and ever.
5 His glory is great in your salvation: honor and majesty have you laid upon him.
6 For you have made him most blessed forever: you have made him exceeding glad with your countenance.
7 For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.
8 Your hand shall find out all your enemies: your right hand shall find out those that hate you.
9 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against you: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12 Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready your arrows upon your strings against the face of them.
13 Be you exalted, LORD, in your own strength: so will we sing and praise your power.

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.

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.

In the verse (23) before the above (Jeremiah 9:24) the LORD concludes an indictment of His people, calling all to mourn, verse 21 saying, “For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces.” For those without understanding, the quote speaks of not seeing what’s coming (through the window, meaning a lack of foresight necessary for good leadership), and, therefore, those (the dead-minded) leading lead to death.

The title verse is quoted in 1 Corinthians 1:31, amid Paul’s abrading the wise of this deluded and insane world, whose falsely so-called wisdom is intentional ignorance, foolishness they use to manipulate and control those following them. In Jeremiah 9 (which Paul is referencing) we are called to consider these things, that the world has become confounded. The LORD says those leading should call His people to repentance and mourning; instead, they are rejoicing in their self-righteousness, as is their way.

Jeremiah 9
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perishes and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
13 And the LORD says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
17 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Consider you, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:
18 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out [“into the midst of deceit” – see verse 6 below].
20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O you women, and let your ear receive the word of his [the LORD’s] mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and everyone 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 says 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.

The confounding and forsaking of the land (the earth) is spoken of earlier, verses 3 thru 9 describing the condition caused by not knowing the LORD, and therefore rejecting His “lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth.” He says it is for this He has visited to avenge His soul on a nation such as this.

Jeremiah 9
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 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.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things? says the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

The word above rendered “avenged” is naqam (5358), a word used in Deuteronomy 32:43 as the LORD says “he will avenge [naqam 5358] the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance [naqam 5359] to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

The word rendered “forsaken,” above in verse 19, is the Hebrew word ‘azab, referring us to Deuteronomy 32:36, there saying it’s when the LORD sees it, that none are “left,” when His people’s power is gone, He will come to judge the earth.

Deuteronomy 32
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight [that there is none left], except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31 For their rock 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, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongs vengeance [naqam 5359] 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 [‘azab].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods [who are men who’ve put themselves in God’s place], their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no 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.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance [naqam 5359] 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 [naqam 5358] the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance [naqam 5359] to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

The powers of the earth have no power but that given (allowed) by God for His purpose. They can do nothing against Him because all they know is deception: lies: darkness that can do nothing against the truth except spew more darkness.

2 Peter 2
12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: a heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: [by] the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice [who] forbad the madness [insanity] of the [the false] prophet.
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness [ignorance] is reserved forever.
18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again [spewing out the darkness in them]; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

2 Peter 3
1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the LORD and Savior:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night [unknown to the ignorant]; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise [the voice of God as thunders], and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas of wicked men] shall melt with fervent heat [from the word of God released from heaven, unto fire], 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 dwelleth 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].
17 You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall [away into fables created from men’s imaginations] from your own steadfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen.

The word “steadfastness” is from the once used Greek word sterigmos, from the thirteen times used word sterizo, meaning “to set fast, i.e. (literally) to turn resolutely in a certain direction, or (figuratively) to confirm:–fix, (e-)stablish, steadfastly set, strengthen.” Peter uses the word (sterizo) once in 1 Peter and once in 2 Peter, both describing the LORD establishing us, in which He says we should stand fast.

1 Peter 5
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish [sterizo], strengthen, settle you.
11 To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
12 By Silvanus [branch of heaven], a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein you stand.

In 2 Peter 1, it (the word sterizo) is used as Peter is telling of the promises, the knowledge of God and our LORD Jesus Christ, through which is multiplied His grace and peace. The word “multiplied” is the twelve times used Greek word plethuno, meaning to increase, and referring us to the LORD using it in its first appearance, in Matthew 24:12, there speaking of the many false prophets and their teaching that now “abounds.” He says, because of this (false teaching) the love (agape – giving this word as received: the love of the truth) of many waxed cold. It (sterizo) is the antithesis of this chilling (psucho – waxing cold) Peter describes: the reversal by teaching what he, in 2 Peter 1:11, tells us is the entrance (eisodos) “into the everlasting kingdom of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.”

Matthew 24
10 And then [in these things the sorrows shall begin] shall many be offended [skandalizo, meaning “to entrap {in false doctrines}, i.e. trip up (figuratively, stumble (transitively) or entice to sin, apostasy or displeasure)]”, and shall betray [paradidomi, meaning “to surrender, i.e yield up, intrust, transmit,” speaks of surrendering the entrusted holy place, and there placing the false doctrines men call their gods] one another, and shall hate [reversing the love of the truth] one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure [not surrendering what is holy] unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached [as it has here and now] in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When you, therefore, shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso reads, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee [the exodos, the leaving the misleaders] into the mountains [from the low to the high place, to the transfiguration where the LORD is revealed outside the corrupt church]:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything [leave all their false doctrine behind] out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes [the filthy rags spotted by dead flesh, the false doctrines of false prophets and false teachers].

As we know, when Daniel speaks of the “abomination,” the cause of the desolation when put in the place of the holy, the Hebrew word is shiqquwts, meaning “disgusting, i.e. filthy; especially idolatrous or (concretely) an idol:– abominable filth (idol, -ation), detestable (thing).”

Daniel is speaking of what he learned by reading Jeremiah (a process we know is the wheel within the wheel, understanding sent forward in the written word, to give the understanding by which we overcome the wicked). He is specifically referring to the use of the word (shiqquwts) in Jeremiah 7:30.

Jeremiah 7
30 For the children of Judah [Judaea – the place of the current crop of corrupt leaders, who are misleaders and wholly corrupt by the leaven of their false doctrines] have done evil in my sight, says the LORD: they have set their abominations [shiqquwts] in the house which is called by my name, to pollute [corrupt] it.
31 And they have built the high places of Tophet [in the fires of hell], which is in the valley [the low place] of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom [who offer their children in the fires they’ve created], but the valley of slaughter [therefore flee to the mountains, and take nothing from these corrupt houses when you leave]: for they shall bury in Tophet [in the hell fires], till there be no place.
33 And the carcasses [the dead in the flesh] of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.
34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate [by the abominations these false teachers and false prophets have put in My place].

The LORD tells Jeremiah, earlier in verse 2, to “Stand [fast] in the gate of the LORD’s house [the entrance into His kingdom], and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.”

To the misleaders in this evil generation, “who oppose and exalt themselves above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that they as God sit in the temple of God, showing themselves as if they are God,” hear this word:

Jeremiah 7
3 Thus says the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war], the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Trust you not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.
5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor;
6 If you oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, forever and ever.
8 Behold, you trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9 Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom you know not;
10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, says the LORD.
12 But go you now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 And now, because you have done all these works, says the LORD, and I spoke unto you, rising up early and speaking, but you heard not; and I called you, but you answered not;
14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein you trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

When the LORD says “go now” to Shiloh, and of His rising up early speaking, it’s a reference to removing the house of Eli and replacing it with Samuel (shmuw’el – hearing God). Samuel heard the voice of God, first thinking it was Eli, and then realized it was the word of God’s mouth telling Him of the end of the house of Eli.

The deep meaning in the above leads us back to the one named Shelah, the son of Judah he promised to Tamar and never fulfilled. The name is from the fourteen times used word sh’elah (shelah), meaning “a petition; by implication, a loan:–loan, petition, request.” It is the petition for a son deferred, and again given, established (again) in Shiloh, to those who hear the voice of God’s mouth.

The name Eli (the high priest in Shiloh when the ark {the presence, glory, of God – openly manifested} was there), is from the word ‘alah, meaning to ascend, refers us to Amos 1:2 and 9:3, when those who’ve climbed to the top of Carmel wither.

The word “wither,” in Amos 1:2, is the Hebrew word yabesh, meaning “to be ashamed, confused or disappointed; also (as failing) to dry up (as water) or wither (as herbage).” In the first six appearances of this word (yabesh) it is the waters “dried up,” first (Genesis 8:7 & 14) of the flood, of the Red sea (Joshua 2:10 & 4:23), and of the Jordan (Joshua 4:23 & 5:1).

As we understand, these waters are the words of men (the ideas and ways of the ignorant that carry to and hold in death) as a flood that covered and destroyed the old world, an event also represented in the tower of Babel, when humanity advanced and though it could reach heaven by wickedness.

Genesis 6
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Genesis 7
18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark [wherein the seed of life is preserved] went upon the face of the waters.

Genesis 8
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried [yabesh – the words that destroy men and nation withered away in the experience].
15 And God spoke unto Noah [rest], saying,
16 Go forth of the ark [wherein you were protected from the waters of death below, and now enter rest], you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17 Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh,

The oppression that then rises is through Ham (Noah’s son) from the word chamam, meaning to become hot. This word’s (name’s) meaning is found when the word first appears in Exodus 16:21 telling of when the sun “waxed hot,” the manna melted (macac).

As we know, the word manna is from Hebrew word man, meaning “a whatness (so to speak), i.e. manna (so called from the question about it [not knowing it is the bread of life, the word from the mouth of God, the loaves the LORD Jesus rightly divided and fed many, showing in the fishes it was the life unknown below the surface of the waters].” Its fuller description is found in Deuteronomy 8:1 thru 3, saying “1 All the commandments which I command you this day shall you observe to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers. 2 And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not. 3 And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna [man – the word from His mouth], which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread [lechem] only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.”

Ham (the manna withered in him) then brought forth a son, Cush (darkness), who had a son, Nimrod (rebellion), who was a hunter (of souls). The beginning of His kingdom was Babel (confusion – see Genesis 10:10), and out of that land went forth Asshur (communism – See Genesis 10:11).

Matthew 24
33 So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Truly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. [Does any other know this is the time and the season, ending the old and creating the new heaven and earth?]
37 But as the days of Noah were [when He entered the ark, and those with him rested in peace, in Shiloh], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

The name Shiloh is from the Hebrew word shalah, meaning (from the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon) “to be at rest, prosper, be quiet, be at ease.” It is referring us to the petition for a man child (that was deferred in Shelah) fulfilled in Shiloh, entering the rest therein when the ark (the man child who hears God speaking) returns with the bread of heaven.

Friends, Ecclesiastes 3
10 I have seen the travail [to bring forth a man child], which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised [‘anah – humbled] in it. [Ecclesiastes 1:13 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 {humbled} therewith {to understand there are many things only God knows, when they’ve withered from the mind of men, which only He can and does set in order again, by the man He ordains}. 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun {when the word from the mouth of God withers from the minds of men}; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. 15 That which is {made} crooked {by men} cannot be made straight {by man}: and that which is wanting {needing correction} cannot be numbered.]
11 He has made everything beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God.
14 I know that, whatsoever God does, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it: and God does it, that men should fear before him.
15 That which has been is now; and that which is to be has already been; and God requires that which is past [the foundations of the world to be restored, into rest and order].
16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17 I said in mine heart [because these places are corrupt], God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

The first petition (shelah – for a man child) is cited in 1 Samuel 1:17, and fulfilled, in verse 27, with the birth of Samuel, who hears God speaking. As mentioned above, this comes in Shiloh, and is the preparation for the end of the house of Eli. The reason for its end is Eli let the light (the lamp of God – 1 Samuel 3:3) go out in the temple, meaning by this the word of God, understanding, withered from the minds of men. This is reflected in his (Eli’s) sons, Hophni and Phinehas [constant strife and mouths as serpents misleading].

1 Samuel 3
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.

1 Samuel 4
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.

15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
16 And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people, and your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.

22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken [from Shiloh].

Amos 9
1 I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered.
2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up [‘alah] to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:
4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
5 And the LORD God of hosts is he that touches the land, and it shall melt [muwg – see verse 13 below], and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up [‘alah] wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
6 It is he that builds his stories in the heaven, and has founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.
7 Are you not as children of the Ethiopians [Cush – darkness] unto me, O children of Israel? says the LORD. Have not I brought up [‘alah] Israel out of the land of Egypt [out from the oppressors]? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
8 Behold, the eyes of the LORD God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says the LORD.
9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom [the enemies mixed among us, destroying us, our nation, and our culture, all while saying it’s peace and for our safety], and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, says the LORD that does this.
13 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt [muwg].
14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land [of America] which I have given them, says the LORD your God.

Psalms 76
1 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?
8 You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.
11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
