5 – 7 April 2025
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:
The LORD begins above in Joel 2:28, the first portion of which (before the first comma) is from the words hayah ‘achar, meaning become after. As we know, hayah is the word rendered “I Am” in Exodus 3:14 when the LORD tells Moses who he shall say sent him.
Genesis 3
11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 And he said, Certainly I will be [hayah] with you; and this shall be a token unto you, that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain.
13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I Am [hayah] That [‘asher – because] I Am [hayah]: and he said, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, I Am [hayah] has sent me unto you.
15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God [with and in the living in every generation] of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
It (hayah) is also the word rendered “will be” in Exodus 4:12 and 15 and “shall be” in verse 16, speaking of how He manifests Himself present.
Exodus 4
12 Now therefore go, and I will be [hayah] with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say.
13 And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray you, by the hand of him whom you will send.
14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron [the light bringer] the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet you: and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
15 And you shall speak unto him, and put words [I have taught you] in his mouth: and I will be [hayah] with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach [yarah – as in the name Jerusalem] you what you shall do.
16 And he shall be [hayah] your spokesman [giving this light he’s received from Me through you] unto the people: and he shall be [hayah], even he shall be [hayah] to you instead of a mouth, and you shall be to him instead of God.
17 And you shall take this rod in your hand, wherewith you shall do signs.
The words “instead of” in verse 16 above don’t appear in the original text, making it read “even he shall be [hayah] to you as your mouth, and you shall be to him as God [manifested in the LORD’s word you give him].”
As we know, ‘achar is the origin of the word ‘achariyth, meaning “the last or end, hence, the future; also posterity:–(last, latter) end (time), hinder (utter) -most, length, posterity, remnant, residue, reward.”
The meaning of ‘achar is “the hind part; generally used as an adverb or conjunction, after (in various senses).” The iyth portion of the word {‘achariyth) is from ‘athah, meaning “arrive:–(be-, things to) come (upon), bring.” This latter word (‘athah) is the origin of the Ithiel (‘Iythiy’el), a three times used name meaning, “God has arrived.”
Proverbs 30
1 The words of Agur [‘agar – a three times used word speaking of the wise who “gather” food while the sluggard doesn’t] the son of Jakeh [who obeys and is therefore blameless], even the prophecy: the man spoke unto Ithiel [God has arrived], even unto Ithiel [God has arrived] and Ucal [‘akal – and we eat what is gather from Him],
2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not [had not when I was a child] the understanding of a man.
3 I neither learned wisdom [until I put away childish things], nor have [had] the knowledge of the holy [until I received it as Your voice and presence].
4 Who [except You] has ascended up into heaven, or descended? who has gathered the wind in his fists? who has bound the waters in a garment? who has established all the ends of the earth [ending the old corrupt age and beginning the new, ending darkness and bringing light]? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you can tell?
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add you not unto his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7 Two things have I required of you; deny me them not before I die:
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
9 Lest I be full, and deny you, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
11 There is a generation [now upon the earth] that curses their father [rejecting His knowledge and understanding], and does not bless their mother [their teacher who teaches them wisdom].
12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness [corruption that defiles their minds and scatters the ONE BODY].
13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour [‘akal] the poor from off the earth [with the words of their mouth], and the needy from among men.
15 The horse-leach [that attach themselves to the mouths of those who drink from their waters, draining their life from them and those who follow them] has two daughters, crying, Give, give [calling themselves teachers, evangelists, and experts, and always asking for money from those they give their evil advice]. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough [are never satisfied – ever learning and never able to reach understanding the truth]:
16 The grave [sheol – hell]; and the barren womb [those in hell who never obey and never bring any to life]; the earth that is not filled with water [this word of God, which the dead who call themselves His people refuse to give as He commands]; and the fire that says not [even while they are being consumed by it], It is enough [they are never satisfied, ever learning, in the experience, but never able to come to the understating of this truth].
17 The eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey [yiqqahah] his mother, the ravens of the valley [those covered in darkness, the shadows of the mountains {those in high places misleading them}, of the earth] shall pick it out [their eyes, blinding them with learned ignorance], and the young eagles [the fourth face of the unfolding presence of God] shall eat it [‘akal – as they fly in heaven, with the LORD and His full understanding, consuming the darkness with the fire from their mouths].
18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
19 The way of an eagle [the fourth face of the unfolding presence of the LORD] in the air [the strong here in heaven with the LORD, relentlessly doing His work as He commanded]; the way of a serpent upon a rock [the deceivers in the false church, in whom God’s dead people put their trust]; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea [the institutions of church and state government, ruling over the people who under them are held in its darkened deep]; and the way of a man [geber – the LORD who is {alive in} a mighty man of war] with a maid [‘almah – the seven times used word, which last appears in Isaiah 7:14, saying “Therefore the LORD himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin {‘almah} shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”].
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman [the unfaithful church that has left the LORD and now follows men who put themselves in His place]; she eats [‘akal – eats corruption], and wipe her mouth, and says, I have done no wickedness.
21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
22 For a servant when he reigns [without the LORD’s anointing]; and a fool when he is filled with meat [thinking he is wise and has understanding, because of his success using his dark decrees by which he misleads];
23 For an odious woman when she is married [the corrupt church joined with the devils, those confederate with the communists now in power]; and a handmaid [the ONE BODY of Christ, now in hard bondage under the corrupt and false] that is heir to her mistress [the corrupt church she will replace when she receives and obeys Her LORD].
24 There be four things which are little [in value] upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat [lechem – bread] in the summer [so they have plenty when the time of need comes];
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks [a good foundation upon which they stand];
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands [all-consuming in their season];
28 The spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces [yet my people refuse to take hold of these ideas and enter Mine].
29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
30 A lion [the second face of the unfolding presence of the LORD] which is strongest among beasts, and turns not away for any [relentlessly going forward];
31 A greyhound [zarziyr – this is a cheetah, quickest to the prey]; a he goat also [who knows His place is at the head of the flock, to lead it into good pasture]; and a king [in which the LORD lives and reigns], against whom there is no rising up.
32 If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself [against Him], or if you have thought evil [and led against Him], lay your hand upon your mouth.
33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter [working in these foundational ideas causes their elements to congeal into understanding], and the wringing of the nose [wrestling against the LORD’s presence you should by now perceive] brings forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
Before the title verse, the word ‘achar appears four times in Joel 2, all speaking of this time, the last days of darkness (now when the world is ruled by the wicked and their insanity), after the destruction when we realize the reality of this moment.
Joel 2
1 Blow you the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land [‘erets – the earth] tremble [ragaz] for the day of the LORD comes, for it is nigh at hand;
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess [‘aphelah – this is the darkness, the deeper delusion they are driven into, spoken of in Isaiah 8:22, when, in the tribulation, the LORD is speaking, and His people are instead listening to wizards peeping and muttering against Him, after they have cursed Him and their king], a day of clouds and of thick darkness [‘araphel – this refers to Isaiah 60:2, verses 1 and 2 saying, “Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness {‘araphel} the people: but the LORD shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.”], as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after [‘achar] it [because the darkness ends here and now], even to the years of many generations.
3 A fire devours [‘akal – eats them] before [paniym – now in the LORD’s presence] them; and behind [‘achar] them a flame burns [these last days of darkness now enlightened by the flames]: the land [‘erets – the earth] is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind [‘achar] them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4 The appearance [mar’eh] of them is as the appearance [mar’eh] of [war] horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5 Like the noise [qowl – their voices] of chariots on the tops of mountains [in power] shall they leap, like the noise [qowl – their voices] of a flame of fire that devours [‘akal – eating those listening to their advice] the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6 Before their face [paniym – in the LORD’s presence] the people [by their ignorance] shall be much pained: all faces [paniym – in His presence] shall gather blackness [ignorance – driven into deeper delusion because they haven’t known the time, haven’t recognized His voice].
7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9 They shall run to and fro [shaqaq – a six times used word referring us to Nahum {the comforter} 2:4] 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 [they shall destroy and devour all by the ignorance they teach and broadcast].
10 The earth [‘erets] shall quake [ragaz] before paniym – in the LORD’s presence speaking to] them; the heavens shall tremble [ra’ash]: the sun [the church, the totally corrupt institution] and the moon [civil government, the institutions] shall be dark [be ignorant], and the stars shall withdraw their shining [God’s people fallen from heaven, shall not have any understanding]:
11 And [then] the LORD shall utter his voice [qowl] before [paniym – manifesting His presence to] his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executes [‘asah] his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12 Therefore also now, says the LORD, turn you even to me with all your heart [your changed minds], and with fasting [no longer listening to the advice of the wicked], and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 And rend your heart [your old and corrupt minds], 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 repents [nacham – comforts, as in the previous post] him of [against] the evil [from which His truth rescues us].
14 Who knows if [how] he will return [shuwb – turn us from the darkness to His light] and repent [nacham – by His Comforter, leading us into all truth], and leave a blessing behind [‘achar] him; even a meat offering [this deep meaning that strengthens us] and a drink offering [these life-giving waters, in which is light and life] unto the LORD your God? [We know from verse 2 above He will, and this evil shall never rise again to power.]
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 Gather [‘acaph] the people [into My ONE BODY], sanctify [qadash] the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber [cheder], 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 should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land [‘erets – His earth], and pity his people.
19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen [who haven’t known me]:
20 But I will remove far off [rachaq – at this time when the earth is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men in places of power] from you the northern army [of darkness], and will drive him into a land [‘erets – the old and totally corrupt earth] barren and desolate, with his face [pnaiym – by My presence manifested] toward the east sea [My people who are looking toward the light rising], and his hinder part [cowph – this is the end, the termination we’ve seen foretold in 2 Chronicles 20, saying “15 And he said, Hearken you, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat, Thus says the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed {chathath – confused} by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16 Tomorrow go you down {descend into hell} against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz {‘alah ma’aleh tsiyts – their rising to power is as the rising of a flower}; and you shall find {matsa’ – attain} them at the end {cowph – this conclusion} of the brook {these waters: the word of the LORD heard}, before {paniym – manifesting His presence} the wilderness of Jeruel {taught by God, as in Jerusalem, this word which flow from Him, teaching His ways of peace}.] toward the utmost [‘archarown] sea [this last generation], and his stink shall come up [even if we don’t see or hear it, we perceive it is upon us], and his ill savor [the smell of dead] shall come up, because he has done [‘asah] great things.
21 Fear not, O land [‘adamah – first generation of My new creation]; be glad and rejoice [realizing I Am present]: for the LORD will do [‘asah] great things.
22 Be not afraid, you beasts of the field [without My Spirit]: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring [life that gives life], for the tree [of life] bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain [malqowsh – mah laqash, what gathering of the AFTER crop? This gathering] in the first month [of this new creation]. [Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight {paniym – in His presence}. 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter {malqowsh} and former rain unto the earth.]
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that has dealt [‘asah] wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 And you shall know that I Am in the midst of Israel, and that I Am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward [‘achar], that I will pour out [shaphak] my spirit [ruwach – in My words, which are life, light, and understanding] upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour [shphak] out my spirit [ruwach – in My words, which are life, light, and understanding].
30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness [realized to be ignorant and dead without My Spirit], and the moon [civil government] into blood [realized to be draining life from humanity at large], before [paniym – before His presence is realized at] the great and terrible day of [this light, manifesting] the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name [the identity] of the LORD [with us, in us] shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Proverbs 1
10 My son, if sinners entice you, consent you not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily [in deceptions] for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave [sh’owl – sheol, hell]; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in your lot among us; let us all [be communists and] have one purse:
15 My son, walk not you in the way with them; refrain your foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed [shaphak – pour out] blood [in their word and way that drain the life from humanity at large].
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait [and we see their net, therefore, it becomes] for their own blood; they lurk privily [unknown to them in their ignorance] for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which [greedily] take away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:
21 She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words, saying,
22 How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit [ruwach – in My word] unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But you have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;
27 When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind [from where My word is heard]; when distress and anguish comes upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me [to their idols], but I will not answer; they shall seek me early [in your creations], but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
Ecclesiastes 3
10 I have seen the travail, which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set [nathan – given] the world [‘owlam – eternity, everlasting life] in their heart [minds], so that [without which] no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end [cowph – this conclusion].
12 I know that there is no good in them, but [except] for a man to rejoice [knowing the LORD is present with us always], 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 any thing taken from it: and God does it, that men should fear before him [paniym – in His presence].
15 That which has been is now; and that which is to be has already been; and God requires [baqash – searched out] that which is past [radaph – what followed and therefore will follow].
16 And moreover I saw [in the things that have already been and are now] under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17 I said in my heart [mind], God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
18 I said in my heart [mind] concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts [who’ve died without His Spirit and, lacking His mind, have descended into hell].
19 For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man has no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
20 All go unto one place [hell]; all are of the dust [created from the ruin of the earth], and all turn to dust again [as they have].
21 Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward [raised from the ruin into life], and the [evil] spirit of the beast that goes downward into [hell – the belly of] the earth?
22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice [realizing the LORD’s presence with him] in his own works; for that is his portion [inheritance]: for who shall [who but God can] bring him to see what shall be [the result, the conclusion of His work that comes] after [‘achar] him?
Amos 7
1 Thus has the LORD God showed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth [leqesh, the same as laqash – the after crop]; and, lo, it was the latter growth [leqesh – the after crop] after [‘achar] the king’s mowings.
2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end [kalah] of eating [‘akal] the grass of the land [‘erets – the earth], then I said, O LORD God, forgive, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
3 The LORD repented [nacham – comforted us, leading into all truth] for this: It shall not be, says the LORD.
4 Thus has the LORD God showed unto me: and, behold, the LORD God called to contend by fire, and it devoured [‘akal] the great deep [the corrupted deep understanding], and did eat [‘akal] up a part.
5 Then said I, O LORD God, cease, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
6 The LORD repented [nacham – comforted: corrected and taught] for this: This also shall not be, says the LORD God.
7 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall [made precept upon precept, line upon line: His teaching, our protection] made by a plumbline [a weight that takes the hook and line into the deep, to catch the life below the surface], with a plumbline in his hand.
The word “mowing,” in verse 1 above, is from the four times used Hebrew word gez, which refers us to its appearance in Psalms 72:6.
Psalms 72
1Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 He shall judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgment.
3 The mountains [the LORD’s government led by him] shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He [David’s son] 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 [David’s son] as long as the sun and moon [church and state governments as the LORD intends them] endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like [this latter] rain upon the mown grass [gez]: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days [the time this light is present] shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the [this light in the] moon endures.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea [the last generation to the first generation], and from the river [that flows these life-giving waters into them] unto the ends of the earth [ending the old and corrupt and beginning the new].
9 They that dwell in the wilderness [this time of desolation] shall bow before [paniym – the LORD’s presence manifested in] him; and his enemies shall lick [lachak – referring to its use in Isaiah 49:23] the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish [the merchants of the world selling their merchandise here] and of the isles [the dry places that have been without this word] shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. [This is alluding to the end of the ongoing tariff war we find ourselves in, as Isaiah 49 speaks of it.]
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 [from the condition spoken of in Amos 8] their soul from deceit and violence [of the deep state, communists, globalists, and their ilk who are oppressing God’s people]: 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: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be a handful [contemplation] of corn [into clarity] in the earth upon the top of the mountains [all governments]; the fruit thereof shall shake [ra’ash – at the LORD’s presence realized] like Lebanon [into purity again seen on high]: and they of the city shall flourish like grass [‘seb – herbs on this third day of His new creation] of the earth.
17 His name shall endure forever: his name shall be continued [nuwn – perpetually] as long [paniym – Jehovah’s perpetual presence in the king’s son] as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name forever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
Isaiah 49
1 Listen [shama’ – Hear the voice of Jehovah and obey], O isles [dry places that refuse this word], unto me; and hearken, you people, from far [rachowq – in this time when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men in power]; The LORD has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name [our identity].
2 And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he hid me;
3 And said unto me, You are my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
4 Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for naught, and in vain [worthless thoughts]: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.
5 And now, says the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not [yet] gathered [into My ONE BODY], yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD [in agreement with Him, seeing as He sees], and my God shall be my strength [my understanding].
6 And he said, It is a light thing that you shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light [understanding] to the Gentiles [all who haven’t know Him], that you mayest be my salvation [yshuw’ah – Joshua: Jesus, the perpetual son manifesting Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh] unto the end of the earth [ending the old corrupt age and beginning the new].
7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose you.
8 Thus says the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of salvation have I helped [‘azar] you: and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to establish the [new] earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages [the ruin made by man, upon which the new will be built];
9 That you mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness [ignorance], Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
12 Behold, these shall come from far [rachowq]: and, lo, these from the north [from ignorance] and from the west [where the sun went down when the day ended]; and these from the land [‘erets – the earth] of Sinim [thorns – from among the misleaders who destroyed the old world].
13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD has comforted [nacham – led into all truth] his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.
14 But Zion said, The LORD has forsaken me, and my LORD has forgotten me.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget you.
16 Behold, I have graven you upon the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
17 Your children shall make haste; your destroyers and they that made you waste shall go forth of you.
18 Lift up your eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live, says the LORD, you shall surely clothe you with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on you, as a bride does.
19 For your waste and your desolate places, and the land [‘erets – the earth] of your destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed you up shall be far away.
20 The children which you shall have, after you have lost the other, shall say again in your ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
21 Then shall you say in your heart, Who has begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?
22 Thus says the LORD God, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted] to the people: and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
23 And kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their face toward the earth [‘erets], and lick up [lachak] the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I Am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
25 But thus says the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contends with you, and I will save your children.
26 And I will feed them that oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am your Savior and your Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
Amos 8
1 Thus has the LORD God shown unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos [whose words men say are a burden, and, therefore, assign them little value], what see you? And I said, A basket of summer fruit [of the harvest: reaching the result of men’s work, their words by which we know them to be good or evil]. Then said the LORD unto me, The end [qets – of time, at the border, gate, between heaven and hell] is come upon my people of Israel [the people of His promised rescue from their enemies, when we “possess their gates;” See Genesis 22:17]; I will not again pass by them any more [‘abar – this is the final Passover, at the judgment seat, which Is His mercy seat for those who receive Him, His correction by measure, His just balance].
3 And the songs of the temple [the word they repeat, by which they are judged] shall be howling in that day, says the LORD God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them [the known dead speaking the ways into death] forth with silence. [Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers {whose words are poison}, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.]
4 Hear this, O you that [with your evil words] swallow up the needy [you thereby made ignorant], even to make the poor [without power] of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon [this darkness covering the earth] be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath [the LORD’s interruption of men’s work], that we may set forth wheat [returning to your same old corrupt and worthless ways, by which you turn men into merchandise], making the ephah [equal justice] small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances [justice] by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The LORD has sworn by the excellency of Jacob [this refers us to Psalms 47:4, the complete Psalms saying: 1 O clap your hands, all you people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. 2 For the LORD Most High is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. 3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. 4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. 5 God is gone up {is exalted, risen into heaven} with a shout {of His archangel}, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. 7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing you praises with understanding. 8 God reigns over the heathen: God sits upon the throne of his holiness. 9 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.], Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD God, that I will cause the sun [the corrupt church] to go down [into Sheol] at noon [when the LORD, His light risen, is exalted to the highest place over the earth], and I will darken the earth [reveal the ignorance and delusion that now rules it] in the clear day [when all is plainly seen and understood]:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11 Behold, the days come, says the LORD God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD [as it is this day]:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea [generation to generation], and from the north even to the east [searching the places of darkness and where light should come from], they shall run to and fro [searching all the earth] to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it [because they look to the dead for the living, where I Am never found].
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst [My people without this word of the LORD they call a burden, in which they put no value].
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria [the places where they put idols in God’s place and call them by His name], and say, Your god, O Dan [where judgment should be found], lives; and, The manner of Beersheba [the seven wells, where God’s pure word is now totally corrupt] lives; even they [these golden calves] shall fall, and never rise up again.
Amos 9
1 I saw the LORD standing upon the altar [standing in this time of His necessary sacrifice, in the flesh body He has prepared for Himself]: and he said, Smite the lintel [kaphtor – the capital, the heads of the pillars] of the door [caph – those posted at the gate, as bowls into which the blood of this sacrifice is poured], that the posts may shake [ra’ash – this is the shaking of heaven and earth spoken of in Haggai 2:6 & 7, which is quoted in Hebrews 12:26, telling us it is so the created things of men, which shall not remain, are shaken from them]: and cut them in the head [ending the creations of their minds, beginning the new heaven and earth, wherein dwell righteousness], all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword [from My mouth, speaking the Word of God]: 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 my hand take them; though they climb up 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 my 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, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up 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 calls 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 [covered in darkness – ignorance] unto me, O children of Israel? says the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? 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, 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 sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
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 which I have given them, says the LORD your God.
Haggai 2
6 For thus says the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house [My people] with glory, says the LORD of hosts.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts [manifested in His man of war, revealing His treasures reserved in the cloud, sent into battle at this appointed time].
9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, says the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, says the LORD of hosts [a man of just war].
Hebrews 12
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [messengers sent with this message, to the heirs of salvation to be revealed in these last days of darkness],
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 speak better [kreitton] 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 [this place of full understanding, from the right hand of God the Father]:
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 [these treasures we’ve received], whereby we may [obey and] serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Psalms 99
1 The LORD reigns; let the people tremble: he sits between the cherubims [above the mercy seat, manifesting His presence in this conversation]; let the earth be moved [nuwt – quake].
2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high [ruwn – risen by His own power] above all the people.
3 Let them praise your great and terrible name; for it is holy.
4 The king’s strength also loves judgment; you do establish equity, you execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob [upon Your people still wrestling with Your presence, Your word and work, unknown].
5 Exalt you the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron [those drawn from the corrupt waters below and giving this light as received] among his priests, and Samuel [those hearing this word as the voice of the LORD] among them that call upon his name [His manifested identity]; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
7 He spoke unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
8 You answered them, O LORD our God: you are a God that forgave them, though you took vengeance of their inventions [the idols men created, put in My place, and call by My name].
9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
