3 – 6 March 2024 PART 2 OF 2

Friends, the LORD’s plan, and everything He’s prepared and provided for its implementation have been here alone given. It is the good the world needs, which John speaks of in 1 John 3:17. It is God’s love (agape – charity) and (chayah) life (light – understanding) poured out through us to save the world. It’s the same we’ve heard from the beginning: that we should have this charity one toward another, and in this (sacrifice, bearing His cross), the world will know Christ, the Father alive in His children.

1 John 3
1 Behold [see, now that the corruption is removed], what manner of love [agape – giving us these gifts] the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should [by His correction] be called the sons of God: therefore, the world knows us not, because it knew him not [as He’s worked and spoken among us, unknown, shepherding us to this time of perfection by His correction]
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear [again to our sight], we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself [of corruption], even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And you know that he was manifested to [by correction] take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins has not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that commits sin is [corrupted] of the devil; for the devil sins [misleading into death and hell] from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his [good] seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born [again, now] of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves [agapao] not [giving this understanding as received] his brother [who needs it, as does all the world lying dead in corruption].
11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love [agapao – have this charity, which will not fail] one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loves [agapao] not his brother [doesn’t give this word to those in need] abides in death.
15 Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer [leaving them in death without this word]: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love [agape] of God, because he laid down his life for us [to give us the word of God, declaring it’s from His mouth, by which man lives]: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso has this world’s good [this understanding the world needs], and sees his brother have need, and shut up his bowels [keeping this gift inside himself, and not giving as the LORD commands] of compassion from him, how dwells the love [agapo] of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love [agapao] in word [deceived into thinking that by fulfilling the letter of the law, we are fulfill its Spirit], neither in tongue [words without understanding]; but in deed [our sacrifice of ourselves] and in truth [of which the world is void].
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts [mind] before him [thereby revealing His presence in us].
20 For if our heart [not showing His light] condemn us, God is greater than our heart [our minds], and knows all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart [our minds one with His] condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God [knowing Him, without timidity of the flesh, in truth speaking His word].

The unforgivable sin is blaspheming (demonizing and vilifying) this work of the LORD unknown in us speaking to reveal Himself: His identity manifested, by declaration of His presence in us, as He is in me. It is logically so (unforgivable) because those that do so condemn themselves by their rejection and murder of (depriving of life) those they mislead into the same rejection.

1 Timothy 5
24 Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after [now revealed in the experience of these last days].
25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise [as now] cannot be hid.

1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke [joined here with the revealed LORD] count their own masters [despotes – to whom they are bound together] worthy of all honor, that the name [identity] of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our LORD Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strife of words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil surmising,
5 Perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw yourself.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But you, O man of God [I Am, Timothy, the title only appearing here in the New Testament], flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto you are also called, and have professed [homologeo] a good profession [homologia] before many witnesses.
13 I give you charge in the sight of God, who quickens all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession [homologia];
14 That you keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our LORD Jesus Christ:
15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and LORD of lords;
16 Who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded [thinking their wealth makes them superior], nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy;
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate [this good word of God];
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay [as I have] hold on eternal life.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust [this dispensation the Father has given me], avoiding profane and vain babblings [which have become the language of this generation], and oppositions of science falsely so called [antithesis gnosis pseudonumos – the arguments falsely named knowledge {anti-truth used against this truth of God}]:
21 Which some professing [epaggellos – announce themselves as if they are authors and finishers] have erred concerning the faith. Grace [this gift of salvation, from which these men have erred] be with you. Amen.

The word, above in verse 21, rendered “erred” is astocheo, a negative (opposite) of stoicheo (as in stoicheion, rendered elements, rudiments, and principles, meaning “something orderly in arrangement, i.e. (by implication) a serial (basal, fundamental, initial) constituent (literally), proposition (figuratively).”

It (astocheo) only appears two other times, both in Paul’s letters to Timothy, further describing the error of the wicked he speaks of above. The LORD, in these passages, speaks to us (here and now) of the errors of the corrupt church (the institution as a whole, without light, one body united in Babylon, their confusion that resulted from following the corruptors into death and hell).

In the first of these, 1 Timothy 1:6, the LORD’s commandment is to charge men that they teach no other doctrine nor heed fables (the creations of men’s imaginations).

1 Timothy 1
5 Now the end of the commandment [to obey and do] is charity [agape – giving as received, which is Christian love {Christ’s love in us to be given}] out of a pure heart [giving this word as received, without again adding corruption, by which we see God – Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.], and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned [anupokritos – without dissimulation, as in Romans 12:9 Let love {agape} be without dissimulation {anupokritos}. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.]:
6 From which some having swerved [astocheo] have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

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

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

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

Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit [the contrite, dakka’, crushing the spirit that’s in the world blinding it into ignorance of the Father’s presence]: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn [knowing the condition of this corrupt and fallen world]: for they shall be comforted [led into all truth].
5 Blessed are the meek [not using their power to destroy but to save]: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness [this correct interpretation]: for they shall be filled [perfected, by full understanding].
7 Blessed are the merciful [showing the Father’s mercy in His conversation through them]: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure [uncorrupted] in heart [in mind]: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers [teaching the LORD’s way into sustainable peace and security: the way to sustainable civilization that flows from Him through them]: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake [because you obey My commands].
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For truly I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness [correct, right, thinking] of the false teacher and false prophets in church and state, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 24
33 So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near [eggus – at hand], even at the doors.
34 Truly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 [The old and corrupt] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away [shall remain after the flood].
36 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father [alive in me] only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered [through the door mentioned in verse 33, seeing it is time to enter] into the ark [this place prepared and provided for our salvation, wherein the lies of the world are kept out: worked out as planned],
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Romans 10
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what says it? The word is nigh you [eggus – at hand], even in your mouth [from where He speaks], and in your heart [your like mind where He lives]: that is, the word of faith [believing he is alive in us and is the One speaking], which we preach [teaching others the way into life];
9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus [is alive in you, speaking this same word from His one mind], and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
10 For with the heart [the foundational mind, the good conscience] man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same LORD over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher [without you obeying and preaching this same word, following my example as I follow the LORD alive in me speaking]?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent [as I have been sent and now, in His name, send you]? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, LORD, who has believed our report [because He is only revealed to those who do believe it’s Him speaking]?
17 So then faith comes by hearing [His voice giving us understanding, which is the LORD proving Himself alive in us], and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes truly, their sound [this word] went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world [ending the old corrupt, beginning the new].
19 But I say, Did not Israel know [all God’s people who should know Him but fail to recognize His voice or His presence manifested]? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation [those who haven’t known me, but now hear My voice and obey my commands] I will anger you.
20 But Isaiah is very bold, and says, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21 But to Israel he says, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people [speaking against me, as in the temptation in the wilderness].

Hereafter, again, is the plan laid out in the uses of the word chayah (the quickening of the dead into life) in Psalms 119, all speaking of it coming by this word of God.

Psalms 119
17 Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live [chayah], and keep your word.
18 Open you my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.
19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not your commandments from me.

24 Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.
25 My soul cleaves unto the dust [the ruin of the earth, from where I Am created]: quicken [chayah] you me according to your word.

37 Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken [chayah] you me in your way.
38 Establish your word unto your servant, who is devoted to your fear.
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for your judgments are good.
40 Behold, I have longed after your precepts: quicken [chayah] me in your righteousness.

49 Remember the word unto your servant, upon which you have caused me to hope.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for your word has quickened [chayah] me.
51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from your law.

77 Let your tender mercies come unto me, that I may live [chayah]: for your law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in your precepts.

87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not your precepts.
88 Quicken [chayah] me after your lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of your mouth.
89 Forever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven.
90 Your faithfulness is unto all generations: you have established the earth, and it abides.
91 They continue this day according to your ordinances: for all are your servants.
92 Unless your law had been my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget your precepts: for with them you have quickened [chayah] me.

107 I am afflicted very much: quicken [chayah] me, O LORD, according unto your word.
108 Accept, I beseech you, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me your judgments.

115 Depart from me, you evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
116 Uphold me according unto your word, that I may live [chayah]: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

144 The righteousness of your testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live [chayah].

149 Hear my voice according unto your lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken [chayah] me according to your judgment.

154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken [chayah] me according to your word.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not your statutes.
156 Great are your tender mercies, O LORD: quicken [chayah] me according to your judgments.
157 Many are my persecutors and my enemies; yet do I not decline from your testimonies.
158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not your word.
159 Consider how I love your precepts: quicken [chayah] me, O LORD, according to your lovingkindness.

175 Let my soul live [chayah], and it shall praise you; and let your judgments help me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant; for I do not forget your commandments.

Psalms 74
1 O God, why have you cast us off forever? why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Remember your congregation [‘edah], which you have purchased of old; the rod of your inheritance, which you have redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein you have dwelt.
3 Lift up your feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy has done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Your enemies roar in the midst of your congregations [mow’ed – Your people gathered at this appointed time]; they set up their ensigns for signs [their fables, false interpretation, lying signs and wonders, the working of Satan].
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees [destroying the upright and all truth].
6 But now they break down the carved work [even their own creations in your sanctuary] thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 They have cast fire into your sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of your name [identity] to the ground.
8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues [mow’ed – Your gathered people in this appointed time] of God in the land [‘erets – on the earth].
9 We see not our signs [because all are blinded by the false teaching and false prophesies of the gods of this corrupt world]: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knows how long.
10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme your name [identity] forever?
11 Why withdraw you your hand, even your right hand? pluck it out of your bosom.
12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

Psalms 1
1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful [luwts – false interpreters, mocking the LORD’s appearing].
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of [living] water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind [the LORD’s Spirit moving] drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation [‘edah] of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

29 February – 1 March 2024

Uphold me according unto your word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Friends, the LORD (Jehovah) has always existed and has always been here with man. He revealed Himself to man long before the Creation story and His written word through Moses.

The following is a synopsis of His early revelation of himself, as He’s shown it to me. In understanding it, never forget He is who He says He is, Almighty and in control of everything, while only altering the natural course as and when necessary to ensure the continuation of His children here with Him.

His original written narration of human history begins in the stars, explained therein by Him in the constellations’ names, given by Him, after the Genesis creation.

Remember the precious post, Jeremiah 33, telling us now is when God’s people again pass under the hand of the one who tells (manah) them these things, and then (now) we’ll see, understand, the same things written in Psalms 147.

Jeremiah 33 [From the previous post, today’s additions in double brackets]
12 Thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war]; Again in this place, which is desolate [as the earth that became without form, and void] without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down [by these still waters where there is rest].
13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin [this last generation, which, in this new creation, become the right hand of God], and in the places about [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah [My new crop of Godly leaders], shall the flocks pass [[‘abar – from death into life]] again under the hands [this work] of him that tells [manah – assessed and prepared as needed, by the Authority vested in me by My Father, doing His work for] them, says the LORD.
14 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel [all My people at large] and to the house of Judah [My chosen leaders].
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto [fruit] David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land [‘erets – the earth].
16 In those days shall Judah [the elect remnant] be saved, and [New Heavenly] Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness [this is a reference to Melchisedec, the king of righteousness, here, God’s children, in who His {Jehovah’s tsedeq} Righteousness dwells].
17 For thus says the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings [offering this word as fire from their mouths], and to kindle meat offerings [this deep understanding that produces strength and courage], and to do [this necessary] sacrifice continually.

Psalms 147
1 Praise you the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 The LORD does build up [New Heavenly] Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel [those scattered to the four winds, into His ONE BODY].
3 He heals the broken in heart [mind], and binds up their wounds [thereof].
4 He tells [manah] the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our LORD, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The LORD lifts up the meek [to inherit the earth]: he casts the wicked down to the ground [into the hell they choose].
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covers the heaven with clouds [where His understanding, after it left the earth, is reserved in separated element], who prepares rain [He causes the element to congeal, sending His word] for the earth, who makes grass to grow [new life on the earth on this third day of His new creation] upon the mountains [His governments in church and state].
9 He gives to the beast [without His Spirit, His mind, His thoughts] his food, and to the young ravens [those covered in darkness, who fly in the places where understanding should be found] which cry.
10 He delights not in the strength of the horse [who appear to be strong but are beasts without His Spirit]: he takes not pleasure in the legs [ways] of a man [which they think is their strength].
11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the LORD, O [New Heavenly] Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion [from where He reigns].
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates [to keep evil out]; he has blessed your children within you.
14 He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends forth his commandment upon earth: his word run very swiftly.
16 He gives snow [His word that was revered, frozen, in heaven] like wool [covering His sheep]: he scatters the hoarfrost like ashes [He disperses His understanding from His written word, releasing it in the trial by fire].
17 He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold [when understanding His word is kept back from the wicked]?
18 He sends out his word, and melts them [releasing their meaning, and melting away the corrupt elements of the world]: he causes his wind [His Almighty Spirit] to blow [moving upon the darkened deep understanding], and the waters flow.
19 He shows his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel [My people who receive MY promised end].
20 He has not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they [still] have not known them. Praise you the LORD.

Friends, as with Gideon, in the following truth, which the LORD will “uphold,” many will be offended and leave, lest the people say, “Because we are many, we have overthrown the enemies by our own strength.”

The Genesis creation speaks of the end of that age, when Egypt, given a limited understanding of God and Jehovah (who was unknown) was called Ra (the great light in heaven, the creator of all things), whose children were the Pharaohs (kings). That age became completely corrupted, as has the next (now ending), and destroyed itself after its leadership, as Babel, like now as Babylon trying to rocket into the heavens, in like manner became insanely delusional. Most of the early parts of Genesis speak of Egypt in multiple allegories.

The good news (the Gospel, the good spell of God) is, the understanding gained as that age ended, was seeded in those God chose to carry it forward, genetically hidden in our flesh minds. See Psalms 119:11 below, which says, “Your word have I hid in my heart [mind], that I might not sin against you.”

The word above rendered “hid” is said to be tsaphan, meaning “to hide (by covering over); by implication, to hoard or reserve; figuratively to deny; specifically (favorably) to protect, (unfavorably) to lurk.”

It (tsaphan) only appears once in Psalms 119, and its first and second uses (of thirty-two total), its only uses by Moses, come in Exodus 2:2 & 3, first speaking of when Moses’ mother “hid” him for three months; and then telling of when he could no longer be “hidden,” she put him in the ark (tebah), and sealed (pitched it) so none of the waters (corrupt words) of Egypt could enter.

As we’ve seen in previous posts, the passage in Exodus is the only other (two) times the word tebah is used outside telling of Noah’s “ark.” In exploring the deeper meaning in the word, we understand (because the LORD led us) it speaks of the preparation the LORD built before the eye of all, and none believed what it was until the flood came and took them all away.

This is the preparation hidden by the LORD in our minds, as described in Psalms 119:11. In this verse, in the letters added to the word (tsaphan + ty), the LORD alludes to the word tsaphiyth, meaning watchtower, which we understand speaks of seeing what is coming far off in the distance (the foreknowledge of God alone).

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shined in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

The title verse is Psalms 119:116, a Psalm that speaks of our life, the quicken programmed, engineered, into His written word, coinciding with truth seeded in our minds, producing thought that brings us, as and when necessary, to it (life), as Jehovah therein self-manifests His presence at His will (obediently) done in us.

The Psalm (119), the longest chapter in the Bible, has 176 verses, indexed into twenty-two groups of eight verses each, every verse in each group beginning with the corresponding sequential twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

The numbers 22 and 8 (double confusion, against which comes the double blessing upon Ephraim, producing the new creation, of heaven, earth, and man) refer us to only one place, Isaiah 61:7.

Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the LORD God is upon me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek [who shall inherit the earth]; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort [lead into all truth] all that mourn [and repent];
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might [in them] be glorified.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 But you shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God [from whom His word flows]: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you boast yourselves.
7 For your shame you shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion [inheritance]: therefore in their land [‘erets – the earth they inherit] they shall possess the double: everlasting joy [realizing the LORD with us, in us] shall be unto them.
8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD has blessed [Ephraim – meaning both double ruin and double blessing, an appellative of God’s people in this last generation].
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the LORD God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Psalms 119 speaks of the quickening of God’s people by His word, His law, His testimonies, which He prepared and protected from men’s inevitable corruption.

Psalms 119

48 My hands also will I lift up unto your commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in your statutes.

53 Horror has taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake your law.
54 Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
55 I have remembered your name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept your law.
56 This I had, because I kept your precepts.

KAPH

82 My eyes fail for your word, saying, When will you comfort [lead me into Your truth, seeing it as You see] me?
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes.
84 How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after your law.
86 All your commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help you me.
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not your precepts.
88 Quicken me after your lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of your mouth.
LAMED
89 Forever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven.
90 Your faithfulness is unto all generations: you have established the earth, and it abideth.

124 Deal with your servant according unto your mercy, and teach me your statutes.
125 I am your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.
126 It is time for you, LORD, to work: for they have made void your law.

These last verses speak of the culmination of the quickening, the open mouths of God’s people speaking His word, according to (in agreement with) this word.

Job 14
1 Man that is born of a woman [dead flesh without the Spirit of the LORD in him giving him life] is of few days and full of trouble.
2 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down: he flees also as a shadow, and continues not.
3 And do you open your eyes upon such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one [man].
5 Seeing his days are determined [charats – as in Daniel 9:26 & 27, speaking of when man ends his war against God, which war brings their desolation, when they are cut off (karath} from Messiah their sanctuary, “and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end {qets} of the war desolations are determined {charats},” and “for the overspreading of abominations {the things men put in God’s place and call by His name} he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation {kalah}, and that determined {charats} shall be poured upon the desolate.”], the number of his months are with you, you have appointed his bounds [choq – decreed end] that he cannot pass [‘abar – from death into life without You];
6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down [karath – cut off], that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9 Yet through the scent of water [perceiving the word of God is with them] it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10 But man dies, and [his flesh] wastes away: yea, man gives up the ghost, and where is he [all are ignorant that they go to hell]?
11 As the waters fail from the sea [when this word of God leaves humanity], and the flood decays and dries up:
12 So man lieth down, and rise not: till the [the old and corrupt] heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep [until corruption is removed].
13 O that you would hide [tsaphan] me in the grave [here in hell, sheol, where He has], that you would keep me secret, until your wrath be past, that you would appoint me a set time [choq – the decreed moment], and remember me [zakar – make me remember]!
14 If a man die, shall he live again? [make me remember that if a man dies, he shall live again, when] all the days of my appointed time [tsaba’ – when you gather me into your army, to the battle against evil] will I wait, till my change come [when this mortal puts on immortality, when corruption is removed, and I thereby find myself alive].
15 [Then] You shall call, and I will answer you [opening my mouth as You’ve commanded]: you will have a desire to the work of your hands [this new creation].
16 For now you number my steps: do you not watch over my sin?
17 My transgression [into corruption] is sealed up in a bag, and you sew up my iniquity.
18 And surely the mountains falling [your governments into apostasy] comes to naught, and the Rock is removed out of his place [into which men come].
19 The waters wear the stones: you wash away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and you destroy the hope of man [the worthless hope in men who’ve put themselves in God’s place].
20 You prevail forever against him, and he passes: you change his countenance, and send him away [into death and hell].
21 His sons come to honor, and he knows it not [that they have been born as dead flesh in hell]; and they are brought low, but he perceives it not of them.
22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his [ignorant] soul within him shall mourn.

The word tsaphan relates to understanding things hidden (by corruption, in man’s ignorance), and thereby preserved as treasures in the LORD’s armory (storehouse), which, when revealed, must be deployed as received, because in them alone is life and Salvation.

Friends, not to again digress, but in context, many of the “holier than thou” group (evil figs) are judging this work (of the LORD they’ve never known) as evil. Their judgment is projection (projecting on another what they themselves are guilty of. They do this as they judge themselves by their outward appearance, as they do those the LORD has purified inside, knowing the minds of His beloved.) it is this poor and evil judgment that dominates this earth covered in these same men’s ignorance of sound doctrine they reject.

Jeremiah 24
1 The LORD showed me, and, behold, two baskets [duwday – referring to the “mandrakes” of Song of Solomon 7:13] of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon [the lies of false prophets that rule the world and carried all into confusion now turned mass delusion and insanity] had carried away captive Jeconiah [who Jehovah will there establish] the son of Jehoiakim [who Jehovah raises up from death and hell] king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon [this time when confusion rules the world, and none are certain of anything, while claiming their evil degenerate opinions are truth].
2 One basket [duwd] had very good figs [hearing the LORD’s voice and obeying His commands], even like the figs that are first ripe [the good fruit in this new creation]: and the other basket [duwd] had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
3 Then said the LORD unto me, What see you, Jeremiah [Jehovah rising, self-manifesting, to raise His people]? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
4 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans [where we are ruled by those who use their evil words as spells, to manipulate and control those they hold here in death and hell] for their good [to reserve and preserve us until this resurrection to life with Him].
6 For I will set my eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land [‘erets – this new earth]: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
7 And I will give them a heart [new mind] to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart [mind].
8 And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus says the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah [the fallen and disobedient who claim they’re the righteousness of Jehovah] the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth], and them that dwell in the land of Egypt [remaining with the oppressors, refusing to repent of their evil ways, of which they claim they are innocent]:
9 And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.
10 And I will send the sword [this word of God they reject], the famine [taking them further into their delusions by remaining without this word], and the pestilence [the dis-ease and plagues that follow], among them, till they be consumed [tamam] from off the land [‘erets – the earth] that I gave unto them and to their fathers.

Jeremiah 14
13 Then said I, Ah, LORD God! behold, the prophets say unto them, You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place [remaining in their sins, their old ways they corrupted].
14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of naught, and the deceit of their heart.
15 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land [‘erets – the earth]; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed [tamam].

Jeremiah 16
17 For my eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid [cathar] from my face [presence], neither is their iniquity hid [tsaphan] from my eyes.
18 And first [as I have] I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double [sending this double blessing upon the good figs]; because they [the evil figs] have defiled my land [‘erets – My earth], they [the evil figs] have filled my inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable things [they put in My place and call by My name].
19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction [tsarah – this tribulation], the Gentiles shall come unto you from the ends [the end of the old and the beginning of the new] of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?
21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name [identity] is The LORD.

Proverbs 27
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproaches me.
12 A prudent man foresees the evil, and hides [cathar] himself; but the simple pass on [remaining with the wicked], and are punished.
13 Take his garment [of evil] that is surety for a stranger [in which evil they, those who don’t know Me, trust], and take a pledge of him for a strange woman [the false rock, the unfaithful church, taking money from the simple].
14 He that [to extort the simple] blesses his friend [telling them they are good people, while they are in agreement with evil] with a loud voice, rising early in the morning [even after this light, understanding, has come], it shall be counted a curse to him.
15 A continual dripping [of wicked word] in a very rainy day [against this word, now when the LORD has sent it to give understanding to the simple minds] and a contentious woman [unfaithful church] are alike.
16 Whosoever hides [tsaphan] her [this truth] hides [tsaphan] the wind [the work, moving, of the LORD’s Spirit], and the ointment [shemem – anointing] of his right hand [by His work], which bewrayeth itself [and in holding these back, they betray their own souls].
17 Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance [paniym – his true presence, making souls aware of themselves in new garments] of his friend [as I do to those who are my Father’s friends, and thereby mine].
18 Whoso keeps [natsar – guards and protects, as an overseer: watchman] the fig tree [God’s people] shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waits on [shamar – keeps, guards, observes] his master [‘adown – king] shall be honored.
19 As in water [in this word of God] face [paniym – our inner presence] answers to face [paniym – to our current presence], so the heart [mind] of man [’adam] to man [‘adam].
20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied [even now when seeing these things plainly].

1 Corinthians 15
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit [bring the dead to life, making them aware of themselves].
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second [the new creation of] man is the LORD from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

Colossians 1
10 That you might walk worthy of the LORD unto all pleasing [doing His will, willingly obey His command to give this word, His word, as received], being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power [to change men’s minds and thereby quicken them into life], unto all patience and longsuffering [God in us not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance: the preparation to receive Him] with joyfulness [knowing we are laborers joined with the LORD alive in us];
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet [appropriately prepared] to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light [this Divine understanding]:
13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness [the ignorance of this totally corrupt and perishing world], and has translated us [methe – removed us from the old world] into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood [this necessary sacrifice, in us, the flesh He has prepared for Himself, to speaks His word as commanded], even the forgiveness of sins [the errors of ignorance]:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God [is the manifestation of Father in the son], the firstborn [brought from obscurity and declared in the world] of every creature [ktisis – meaning “original formation (properly, the act; by implication, the thing, literally or figuratively):–building, creation, creature, ordinance.”]: [John 1:10 He {God the Father, unknown as the Holy Spirit, to be revealed in the Son in this new creation} was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as {by their faith} received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name {His identity veiled in the flesh}: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of {the will of} God {by the His light, His understanding given in this manner, which quickens men’s minds into the same life}. 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 {these treasures from heaven} and truth.]
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled [apokatallasso – speaking of the translation described in verse 13 above: here saying, apo: “taking away” the old; kata, by “bringing down” their power to deceive; allasso, and by doing so, “changed” us – allasso is the same change Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 15, saying “51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep {with dead minds}, but we shall all be changed {allasso}, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye {as stars of God rising with His light in our eyes}, at the last trump {now calling all to Gather to Join Him}: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed {allasso}. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is {by the opened mouths of His children} swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is your sting? O grave {hell}, where is your victory?”]

Song of Solomon 7
11 Come, my beloved [dowd – descriptive, appellative, of David and Timothy], let us go forth into the field [where His armory, storehouse, is – in the earth where the Father has planted us]; let us lodge in the villages [kaphar, from an identical word telling us this is the place where He covered us, preserves and kept us until this reconciliation and resurrection].
12 Let us get up [awaken to this truth] early to the [LORD’s] vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give you my loves [dowd – this understanding through the vine to which we are attached].
13 The mandrakes [duwday – this “basked” of fruit] give a smell [the LORD presence perceived in the fruit therein], and at our gates [entering His kingdom] are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up [tsaphan – have hidden these things, reserved] for you, O my beloved [dowd].

Song of Solomon 8
1 O that you were as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother [wisdom taught, of the ancient things reserved for this time of war]! when I should find you without, I would kiss you; yea, I should not be despised [by you, if you had the same upbringing as I].
2 I would lead you, and bring you into my mother’s [wisdom’s] house, who would instruct me: I would cause you to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
3 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up [‘uwr – opening the eyes], nor awake [‘uwr] my love, until he please [for your own sake].
5 Who is this that comes up [‘alah – rises] from the wilderness [where we unlearn the corrupt ways that brought us there], leaning upon [trusting] her beloved [dowd]? I raised you up [‘uwr – opened your eyes and awakened you from death] under the apple tree [tappuwach – by words fitly spoken, see the same word in Proverbs 25:11, saying, “A word fitly spoken is like apples {tappuwach} of gold in pictures {thoughts} of silver.”]: there your mother brought you forth [into life]: there she brought you forth that bare you.
6 Set me as a seal [chowtham] upon your heart [My signature pressed into your mind, by My authority alone], as a seal [chowtham] upon your arm [doing My work]: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave [sheol – hell]: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which has a most vehement flame.
7 Many waters [worthless word of men] cannot quench love, neither can the floods [of men’s words] drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love [of God which he alone gives as a gift to those of a pure mind], it [man’s bribe] would utterly be contemned.

Psalms 10
1 Why [mah – how] stand you afar off [rachowq – in this appointed time when the world is ruled by evil decree], O LORD? why hide you yourself in times of trouble [tsarah – this tribulation]?
2 The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor [those without worldly power]: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5 His ways are [to the wicked] always grievous; your [the LORD’s] judgments are far above [in the clouds] out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffs at them [sending His Spirit from His mouth].
6 He [the wicked] has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily [tsaphan] set against the poor.
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
10 He crouches, and [deceptively] humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides [cathar] his face [paniym – His presence]; he will never see it.
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.
13 Wherefore does the wicked contemn [scorn and mock] God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it.
14 You have seen it; for you behold mischief and spite, to requite it with your hand: the poor [without worldly power] commits himself unto you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till you find none.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land [‘erets – His new earth].
17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the [new] earth [‘erets] may no more oppress.

25 – 27 February 2025 PART 1 OF 2

In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

Friends, in the above, Jeremiah 33:15, the LORD speaks of what we, you and I, are experiencing, as the LORD Jesus foretold in Matthew 24, saying, when we see it, those understanding His parable, will “know it (the time) is at the door,” (our entry into His kingdom, under One king, the spiritual seed of David).

Matthew 24
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn [as in Jeremiah 33, speaking of when we realize and repent of our sins against Him, which blinded us and caused us to reject Him when He appeared in the darkness of this time], and they shall [again] see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven [with this full understanding, from where it is reserved for this time of war and coronation] with power [to change men’s minds, giving them again their sight] and great glory [revealing the Father in his flesh].
31 And he shall send his angels [all the messenger here enlightened and called to bring this same word into the darkness] with a great sound of a trumpet [calling all to gather to the LORD on this third day, as in Genesis 1:12 & 13, when the earth brought forth new life, yielding fruit, which in the title is David; and Exodus 19:9 – 11, saying “9 And the LORD said unto Moses {the one drawn from the waters, as in Genesis 1:7, separating the waters below from the waters above, in this exposition, firmament, which God named “Heaven,” on the second day}, Lo, I come unto you in a thick cloud {where understand is held in its separated element}, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever. And Moses told {as I have} the words of the people unto the LORD. 10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify {separate them from the thing, their sins against Me, that have defiled their minds} them today {the first day – as My Spirit moved upon the darkened deep and created Light upon the earth} and tomorrow {the second day}, and let them wash their clothes {putting on purity, as the cleansed garments of the priesthood}, 11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai {the thorny place, among their misleaders holding them in the belly of the earth, to destroy their corruption in this trial by fire}.], and they shall gather together his elect [the people He chooses] from the four winds [where they are scattered], from one end of heaven to the other [ending the old understanding and bringing the new].
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree [remember Ezekiel 37:22, from the previous post, the passage saying of David, “20 And the sticks whereon you write {{as I have here written, as commanded}} shall be in your hand before their eyes. 21 And say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land {as promised}: 22 And I will make them ONE nation {fig tree} in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and ONE king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. 23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. 24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have ONE shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.]; When His Branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves [beginning the healing of the nations – as in Revelation 22:2], you know that summer is nigh: [you should know the fruit is near, at the door that must be opened so the one here called David {I Am this Beloved of God}, enters].
33 So likewise you, when you shall see all these things [now seen], know that it [this fruit] is near, even at the doors.
34 Truly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 [The old] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but [when they are taken away,] my words shall not pass away [My word will remain in the new world: heaven and earth].
36 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only, [Who is the man that says he knows more that the LORD, who says, “Today is the day of Salvation?”]
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be [as it is this day].
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark [resting in this preparation of the LORD, which is sent for the Salvation of all who receive it as His],
39 And [in their ignorance, refusing the word sent] knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one [choosing darkness] shall be taken, and the other left [those receiving Him will remain in the new world].
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill [teachers working among the wheat]; the one [choosing darkness] shall be taken, and the other left [reaming in the new heaven and earth].
42 Watch [gregoreuo – keep awake; don’t be put to sleep by these men’s taught ignorance] therefore: for [resulting from their teaching] you know not what hour your LORD does come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house [the doorkeepers of the church] had known in what watch the thief would come [and it is now obvious they haven’t known anything but their own blinding corruption], he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up [scattering My people to the four winds, from where I Am gathering them].
44 Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not [as all who should have remained awake say today isn’t the day] the Son of man comes.
45 Who then is a faithful [ready to open the door] and wise servant, whom his LORD has made ruler [I Am] over his household, to give them meat [this deep understanding] in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his LORD when he comes shall find so doing.
47 Truly I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My LORD delays his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken [whose minds are stupefied];
50 The LORD of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

This last verse leads us back to the (twice mentioned) leaves spoken of in verse 31, from the six times used Greek word phullon, meaning “a sprout, i.e. leaf:–leaf.” 
The word appears one other time in Matthew, in Matthew 21:19, and three times in Mark, in Mark 13:28, foretelling the same sign, and then twice in Mark 11:13. 

In Matthew 21 and Mark 11, we’re told of the LORD Jesus hungering for this fruit and coming finding nothing but leaves, meaning He, as now, was rejected by the corrupt powers, the builders, the wicked to whom these healing leaves were sent. Based on the parable below, even the wicked should understand, after killing the son, who is knocking at the door.

Matthew 21
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this [that declares this is The Day of The LORD]?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the perpetual son He has declared] the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves [claiming they know the signs of the end; saying, “Now isn’t the time and 11 May 2024 isn’t the day”],
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer [from Isaiah 56:7]; but you have made it a den of thieves [from Jeremiah 7:11].
14 And the blind [unable to see the time and season] and the lame [who wandered away into apostasy: standing away from the LORD] came to him in the temple; and he healed them [giving them eyes to see as He sees and bringing them back onto His right course].
15 And when the chief priests and scribes [the leaders who led the people into blindness and apostasy] saw the wonderful [eye opening] things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna [“save now”] to the son of David [repeating the words of Psalms 118:25]; they were sore displeased,
16 And said unto him, Hear you what these say? And Jesus says unto them, Yea; have you never read [in Psalms 8:2], Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have perfected praise?
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered [looking to hear this word of God, His understanding, is in His people].
19 And when he saw a fig tree [this corrupt nation, people who haven’t known the LORD, because they are blind and lame] in the way [in the way of His people opening to Him], he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves [phullon] only [and the doorkeepers, keeping this word out, rejecting the son of David], and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward forever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig tree [the old and corrupt nation] withered away [as it now has, and is good for nothing but to be burned in the fire]!
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Truly I say unto you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say unto this mountain [this old and now totally corrupt government – the institutions, not as it was Constituted under God], Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea [back into the hands of We the People at large]; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
23 And when he was come into the temple, the [the now totally corrupt order] chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority?”
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The baptism of John [this preparation, the call to repentance and correction, the sign of the end reached, the healing of the blind and lame], whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did you not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard [do the work to which I call you, opening your mouths with this understanding].
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he [after this baptism] repented, and went.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus says unto them, Truly I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots [the Republicans and the unfaithful who’ve repented and do as I’ve commanded, who’ve received My God-given authority as their king] go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and you, when you had seen it, repented not afterward, that you might believe him [by which you also would be justified, but you reject the corner stone the Father laid].
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40 When the LORD therefore of the vineyard comes, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus says unto them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the LORD’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees [the corrupt powers: the spiritually wicked seated in high places] had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

Revelation 3
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans [upon whom this judgment has come] write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the [old and new] creation of God;
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
16 So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue you out of my mouth.
17 Because you say, I am rich [see James 5 below], and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel you to buy of me gold [these treasures] tried in the fire, that you mayest be rich; and white raiment, that you mayest be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye-salve, that you may see [as I see].
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and correct: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear [this voice as] my voice [as it is], and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcomes [this old and corrupt world] will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.

James 5
1 Go to now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches [the things of the old world you think are valuable] are corrupted, and your garments [which you think protect you from the corrupt elements of the world] are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust [wasting away] of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. You have heaped treasure together for the last days [the ‘achariyth].
4 Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which [wages] is of you kept back by fraud [called taxes and tithes], cry: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the LORD of sabaoth [who is a man of war, against such thieves].
5 You have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; you have nourished your hearts, [prospered, fattened yourselves] as in a day of slaughter.
6 You have condemned and killed the just; and he does not resist you.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the LORD. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receive the early [bringing the leaves from the Branch] and latter rain [that brings the fruit from the Branch].
8 Be you also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the LORD draws nigh.
9 Grudge not one against another [for all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God], brethren, lest you be condemned: behold, the [just and merciful] judge stands before the door.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the LORD, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the LORD; that the LORD is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not [saying you know things, when they are your presumptions and opinions: delusion of your own minds], neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest you fall into condemnation.
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with [this] oil in the name of the LORD:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the LORD shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess your faults one to another [now when all are told by their false teachers that they have no faults and need not repent of anything], and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
17 Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain [which will come when His people obey and declare Him present, come to save the world in need], and the earth brought forth her fruit.
19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20 Let him know, that he which converts the sinner [the blind and lame] from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Friends, the only people not seeing the world is in need of a new (restored) foundation, which none of the wise of this world teach or preach, are those getting what they desire out of the old world (people obeying their words and thereby continue the endless fall into depravity). These men who put themselves in God’s place, have their own ideas and ways, the same old ways that led us here: complaining without correction, having no solution, no fortitude to proclaim the ancient truth of God’s law, which includes the physical laws of nature, and His spiritual law, both, together, the way of sustainable civilization: reciprocal, mutual, security in life, liberty, and property. If they speak not according to, in agreement with, this word, it’s because there is no understanding, light which is life, in them.

These men think they should, and will, remain in power, in control of the message, the same one they lukewarmly allowed (while in the endless fall). Because they complained about it, they think they are owed the right (entitled) to rule the minds of men. That isn’t going to happen ever again. The sorrowful part is they will continue, unrepentant, proud of their ways, until little remains. Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure [this sound doctrine, which is the voice of the LORD heard] unto the end, the same shall be saved.

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

Romans 10
8 But what says it [the word of God; speaking of how Christ comes from heaven above and rises here on earth from the dead to save us]? The [LORD, the] word [made flesh] is near you, even in your mouth [when you speak as He commands], and in your heart [alive, risen in your mind]: that is, the word of faith [that He is present in us speaking], which we preach;
9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
10 For with the heart man [by faith] believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made [that He is alive in us] unto salvation.
11 For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him [that He is alive with us, and then in us] shall not be ashamed [reaching the expected end in His presence].
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same LORD over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For “whosoever shall call upon the name [identity] of the LORD [alive in the flesh] shall be saved.” [Quoted from Joel 2:32, after verse 27 tells us this is when “you shall know that I Am in the midst of Israel {My people who receive this promise}, and that I Am the LORD your God, and none else: and My people shall never be ashamed {realizing they have reached this expected, promised, end}.]
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard [if none obey and open their mouths]? and how shall they hear without a preacher [through whom He speaks and works]? 
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent [as He has through this preaching sent you who have heard Him speaking]? as it is written, “How beautiful [happening in its time] are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” [The verse, Isaiah 52:7, continues, speaking of when your mouths are opened and you enter His kingdom, “that publishes {shama’ – obeys and speaks what is heard} salvation; that says unto Zion, Your God {in the king of His choosing} reigns!”]
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel [this God-spell, the captivity to which we return, under His reign]. For Isaiah says, LORD, who has believed our report? [The verse, Isaiah 53:1, continues, making the statement that, to those who’ve received this report {from the word shmuw’ah – literally meaning heard Jehovah speaking}, to them the “arm {work in the flesh} of the LORD is revealed.”]
17 So then faith comes by hearing [Him speaking], and hearing [opening the ears unto obedience] by the word of God.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes truly, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. [The verse, Psalms 19:4, continues, saying “In them has He set a tabernacle {the dwelling place} for the sun {of this understanding, light, upon all His people who receive Him}”]
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people [to whom I have revealed Myself in this work], and by a foolish nation [who haven’t known me] I will anger you. [Quoted from Deuteronomy 32:21, after, in the verse before, the LORD tell of hiding {in their learned ignorance} His presence from those who think they know Him].
20 But Esaias is very bold, and says, I was found of them that sought me not [but where seeking Me in the lies of false teaching and false prophesies, creations of men who put themselves in My place]; I was made manifest [present] unto them that asked not after me [but were instead praying to idols they call by My name].
21 But to Israel [the people to which these oracles were left] he says, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people [endlessly arguing their oppositions to this truth, the passage, Isaiah 65:1 & 2 here quoted, continues in the following verse telling of those ignorant that they worshipping idols, and are saying to the LORD, come not NEAR to us {stand away – continuing their apostasy}, because they are holier than Him}].

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 [See] 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 [corrupt] thoughts [they’ve been taught];
3 A people that provoke me to anger continually to my face [paniym – My manifested presence]; that sacrifice in gardens [overgrown with thorns and biers], and burn incense upon altars of brick [defiled creations];
4 Which remain among the graves [among the dead], and lodge in the monuments [natsar – dead things I’ve “preserved” in these coffins], which eat [unclean] swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels [in My place];
5 Which say, “Stand by yourself, come not near to me; for I am holier than you.” These are a smoke in my nose [to fanned away by the work of My hand], a fire that burns all the day [when this light of this new day has come].
6 Behold [see], it is written before me [paniym – it is My presence in this word; in the word made flesh, full of grace and truth]: I will not keep [and have not kept] silence, but will recompense [in this word from My mouth], even recompense into their bosom [My word into their midst as I have],
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together [uncovering the degeneration, the endless fall away from Me and My truth], says the LORD, which have burned incense [your strange fire] upon the mountains [all the high places ruling the earth], and blasphemed me [vilifying My word and work] upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work [of corruption] 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 for my servants’ sakes [sending them this new living word that changes their minds], that I may not destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a seed [the elect remnant I have thereby planted in the new heaven and earth] out of Jacob, and out of Judah [these new leaders] an inheritor of my mountains [government as God planned it, to secure the God-given rights of men; bringing truth and justice to the earth again]: and my elect shall inherit it, and my servants [teaching and preaching My ways of sustainable civilization] shall dwell there.
10 And Sharon [those who plainly see and receive this self-evident truth] shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor [that was before in endless strife] a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought [and found] me.
11 But you [who think you know Me and say you speak for Me, while teaching the ways of death] are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain [My Government], that prepare a table for that troop [the army now warring against Me], and that furnish the drink offering unto that number [Who hate me without cause].
12 Therefore will I number [manah] 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 my eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
13 Therefore thus says the LORD God, Behold, my servants [who received Me and entered My kingdom] 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 [not reaching the evil end you seek]:
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 [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 [New Heavenly] Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

Jeremiah 33
12 Thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war]; Again in this place, which is desolate [as the earth that became without form, and void] without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down [by these still waters where there is rest].
13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin [this last generation, which, in this new creation, become the right hand of God], and in the places about [New Heavenly] Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah [My new crop of Godly leaders], shall the flocks pass again under the hands [this work] of him that tells [manah – assessed and prepared as needed, by the Authority vested in me by My Father, doing His work for] them, says the LORD.
14 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel [all My people at large] and to the house of Judah [My chosen leaders].
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto [fruit] David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land [‘erets – the earth].
16 In those days shall Judah [the elect remnant] be saved, and [New Heavenly] Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness [this is a reference to Melchisedec, the king of righteousness, here, God’s children, in who His {Jehovah’s tsedeq} Righteousness dwells].
17 For thus says the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings [offering this word as fire from their mouths], and to kindle meat offerings [this deep understanding that produces strength and courage], and to do [this necessary] sacrifice continually.

Joel 2
26 And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name [identity] of the LORD your God, that has dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed [in My presence, as promised].
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, that I will pour out [as the sun rising and shining upon all, from east to west] my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [speaking My word], your old men shall dream dreams [they shall realize what they before didn’t know], your young men shall see visions [seeing as the LORD sees]:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood [this sacrifice, undertaken by those upon whom My Spirit rests], and fire [in the words from their mouths], and pillars of smoke [the LORD’s protection and strength therein revealed in this new day].
31 The sun [the old and corrupt church institutions] shall be turned into darkness [realized to be the place of the dead, wherein is mass ignorance], and the moon into blood [civil governments seen as draining life from those they oppress], before the great and terrible day [11 May 2024] of the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in [New Heavenly] Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Deuteronomy 30
7 And the LORD your God will put all these curses upon your enemies, and on them that hate you, which persecuted you.
8 And you shall return and obey [shama’] the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command you this day.
9 And the LORD your God will make you plenteous in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers:
10 If you shall hearken unto [shama’ – obey] the voice of the LORD your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if you turn unto the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul.
11 For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not hidden from you, neither is it far off [rachowq – not as the evil decrees by which the wicked now rule the world].
12 It is not in heaven, that you shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear [shama’ – Hear Him speaking, and obey] it, and do it?
14 But the word is very near unto you, in your mouth, and in your heart [minds], that you mayest do it.
15 See, I have set before you this day life and good [which is in your open mouths], and death and evil [without His word, continuing to speak your own creations];
16 In that I command you this day to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that you mayest live and multiply: and the LORD your God shall bless you in the land [‘erets – the earth] whither you go to possess it.
17 But if your heart turn away, so that you will not hear [shama’ – not hear it as His word, as it is, and, therefore, not obey], but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods [men putting themselves in His place, saying their ways are salvation], and serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day, that you shall surely perish, and that you shall not prolong your days upon the land [‘adamah – among created humanity, in the new earth given life from the dead], whither you passover [‘abar – pass from death into new life] Jordan [overcoming the words of men, which have carried all humanity in its decent into death and hell] to go to possess it [the new creation].
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day [in the light of this understanding] against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live:
20 That you mayest love the LORD your God, and that you mayest obey [shama’] his voice [hear it here as Him, from His mouth], and that you mayest cleave [join yourself inseparably] unto him: for he is your life, and the length of your days: that you mayest dwell in the land [‘adamah] which the LORD swore [promised] unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Isaiah 52
2
3 For thus says the LORD, You have sold yourselves for naught; and you shall be redeemed without money.
4 For thus says the LORD God, My people went down aforetime into Egypt [where they were ruled by oppressors, and learned the ways of oppression] to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them [as do the communists now, hating us] without cause.
5 Now therefore, what have I here, says the LORD, that my people is taken away for naught? they that rule over them make them to howl, says the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name [My identity, a man of war and peace]: therefore they shall know in that day that I Am he that does speak: behold, it is I.
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings [these] good tidings, that publishes [shama’ – hears His voice and obediently speaks the same words of] peace; that brings good tidings of good, that publishes [shama’ – hears His voice and obediently speaks with the same voice of] salvation; that says unto Zion, Your God reigns!
8 Your watchmen [who’ve seen this by the eyes of the LORD] shall lift up the voice [exalting His word above all other voices]; with the voice together shall they sing [repeating this same words with me]: for they shall see eye to eye [seeing as the LORD sees], when the LORD shall bring again Zion [His kingdom on the earth, reigning in the minds of man].
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem [the ruin upon which the New and Heavenly is built]: for the LORD has comforted [led into all truth] his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The LORD has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new] shall see the salvation of our God.
11 Depart you, depart you, go you out from thence [leave the old and corrupt behind], touch no unclean thing; go you out of the midst of her; be you clean, that bear the [holy] vessels of the LORD.
12 For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your reward.
13 Behold, my servant [doing My work, speaking My words] shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled [My voice in him above all others], and be very high.
14 As many were astonished at you; his visage [outward appearance] was so marred [mishchath – disfigured by men’s corruption] more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15 So shall he sprinkle [the blood and water of this necessary sacrifice upon] many nations [those who don’t know the LORD, because His visage is so marred by the corruption of men]; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them [taught by their corrupt teachers] shall they see [by the LORD revealing it by His sight]; and that which they had not heard [shama’ – this word they haven’t heard as the voice of the LORD, and therefore haven’t obeyed] shall they consider [biyn – understand].

John 5
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father works hitherto [to bring us to this point], and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews [all the religious who think they are the chosen of God] sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath [interrupting their wickedness spewed from their cesspools], but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do [interrupting your work, evil misleading, as necessary]: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these [as He has], that you may marvel.
21 For as the Father [by His correction] raises up the dead, and quickens them [thereby raising them from death into life]; even so the Son [by the same interruption and correction] quickens whom he will.
22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me [believing they, my words, are His voice heard], has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed [over, quickened] from death unto life.
25 Truly, truly, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead [here in the flesh] shall hear the voice of the Son of God [as the voice of the Father]: and they that hear [it as His and therefore obey] shall live.
26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given [by His word] to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And has given him Authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming [and now is here], in the which all that are in the graves [here in hell] shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear [the Father’s voice and obey], I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but [I obediently do] the will of the Father which has sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.

37 And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he has sent, him you believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And you will not come to me, that you might have life.
41 I receive not honor from men.
42 But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father’s name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
44 How can you believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that comes from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust.
46 For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?

When the LORD speaks of these men not believing Moses’ words, and therefore not believing His, it is referring to them not knowing (being ignorant of) the meaning therein, where He is, I Am, the head of the ONE BODY, is spoken of many times as the Rock, Christ, the prophet like unto Moses, from where all the word of the Godhead flows.

The word Godhead appears three times, only in the New Testament, from three different words: Acts 17:29, Romans 1:20, and Colossians 2:9. The words, respectively, are, theios, used only three times; theiotes, used this one time; and used once, theotes, all speaking of the Divine power manifested in One God who is the Father (the known presence), the Son (the Father in the flesh, also known as Christ), and the Holy Spirit (the Father unknown working and speaking, in and near {with} us).

Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O you heavens, and I will speak; and hear [shama’ – hearing His voice, obey], O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb [bringing life again from the earth on this third day], 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 is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do you thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he your Father that has bought you? has he not made you, and established you?

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

Deuteronomy 32
11 As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, taketh them, bears them on her wings:
12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey [strength – good words] out of the Rock, and oil [shining understanding] out of the flinty Rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan [fruitfulness], and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and you did drink the pure blood of the grape [the pure life in this nourishment].
15 But Jeshurun [God’s people in prosperity under Him] waxed fat, and kicked: you are waxen fat, you are grown thick, you are covered with fatness [the result of prospering, and not working out corruption when it progressively forms in the body: God’s people]; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations [they put in God’s place] provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils [misleader among them leading into evil], not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat you you are unmindful, and have forgotten God that formed you.
19 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 And he said, I will hide [cathar – cover with their own ignorance] my face [paniym – presence] from them, I will see what their end [‘achariyth – what their last days] shall be: for they are a very froward generation [that has twisted and perverted truth into confusion, delusion, and is ending in mass insanity in church and state], children in whom is no faith [refusing to believe He is always with them and sees all this for them, as He must, because they are blind, and insane, without any living brain activity]

Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth [prisoner] in [their] unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has shown it unto them [revealing their ignorance in His correction].
20 For the invisible things [before here hidden] of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made [the things that now appear from their hidden places, good and evil], even his eternal power and Godhead [theiotes – who reveals them, one God and Father of us all, working and speaking, known to the righteous, and unknowable to the wicked who reject Him, even after seeing His power]; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations [the delusions of their own minds, thinking their corrupt opinions had any affect or effect on Him or those who know Him], and their foolish heart was darkened [making them ignorant and blind to their own ignorance].
22 Professing themselves to be wise [thinking their foolish delusions are wisdom], they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness [their own corruption, which they now insanely can’t distinguish from reality, which is consuming them] through the lusts [desiring delusions and rejecting reality from which they cannot escape] of their own hearts [childish minds], to dishonor their own bodies between themselves [destroying themselves and none of them dares admit it’s happening]:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature [the creation, dead flesh and inanimate matter] more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

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 [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness]!
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 [closing their mouths by opening His against them]?
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 [men as whales and serpents, with their wide open mouths swallowing men into the belly of hell], and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures [reserved for Me alone to reveal in this time of war]?
35 To me belongs vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand [now arrived], 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 [as it now is], and there is none shut up, or left [with understanding].
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock [false Christs] 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 [this word of God], and my hand [this work] take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

Colossians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus [I Am] [y]our brother,
2 To the saints and faithful [who do believe this report] brethren in Christ which are at Colosse [from the same root as the eye “salve” of Revelation 3:18; here referring to those joined with the LORD by their {and the Laodiceans’} cured blindness] grace be unto you [that have receive these treasure], and peace, from [One] God our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ.
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 Since we heard of your faith [believing] in Christ Jesus, and of the love [agape – Your Christian charity, giving this word of God, declaring Him alive, and reporting that you have seen Him] which you have to all the saints,
5 For the hope [of entering His kingdom, standing in His presence] which is laid up for you in heaven [in this understanding received], whereof you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and brings forth fruit, as it does also in you, since the day you heard of it, and knew [this is] the grace of God in truth:
7 As you also learned of Epaphras [all those the LORD has loved, this now awakening generation of God’s people] our dear fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
8 Who also declared unto us your love [agape – giving this word to all the world, as received] in the Spirit.
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That you might walk worthy of the LORD unto all pleasing [doing His will, willingly obey His command to give this word, His word, as received], being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power [to change men’s minds and thereby quicken them into life], unto all patience and longsuffering [God in us not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance: the preparation to receive Him] with joyfulness [knowing we are laborers joined with the LORD alive in us];
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet [appropriately prepared] to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light [this Divine understanding]:
13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness [the ignorance of this totally corrupt and perishing world], and has translated us [methe – removed us from the old world] into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood [this necessary sacrifice, in us, the flesh He has prepared for Himself, to speaks His word as commanded], even the forgiveness of sins [the errors of ignorance]:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God [is the manifestation of Father in the son], the firstborn [brought from obscurity and declared in the world] of every creature [ktisis – meaning “original formation (properly, the act; by implication, the thing, literally or figuratively):–building, creation, creature, ordinance.”]: [John 1: 10 He {God the Father, unknown as the Holy Spirit, to be revealed in the Son in this new creation} was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as {by their faith} received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name {His identity veiled in the flesh}: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of {the will of} God {by the His light, His understanding given in this manner, which quickens men’s mind into the same life}. 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 {these treasures from heaven} and truth.]
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled [apokatallasso – speaking of the translation described in verse 13 above: here saying, apo: “taking away” the old; kata, by “bringing down” their power to deceive; allasso, and by doing so, “changed” us – allasso is the same change Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 15, saying “51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep {with dead minds}, but we shall all be changed {allasso}, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye {as stars of God rising with His light in our eyes}, at the last trump {now calling all to Gather to Join Him}: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed {allasso}. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is {by the opened mouths of His children} swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is your sting? O grave {hell}, where is your victory?]
22 In the body of his flesh through death [and here in hell with us, rising from it, to rescue us from its power], to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23 If you continue in the faith grounded [themelioo – meaning “to lay a basis for, i.e. (literally) erect, or (figuratively) consolidate” and settled [hedraiso – immovable], and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel [God’s power in this word, to change minds and raise men from death into life], which you have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul [I Timothy] am made a minister;
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his [ONE] body’s sake, which is the church:
25 Whereof I Am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God [His word given, to be dispensed as received] which is given to me for you, to fulfil [pleroo – to fill you with] the word of God [which is our perfection];
26 Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles [those who don’t know Him]; which is Christ [God the Father alive] in you, the hope of glory [as He, through His word in His children, reveals Himself]:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working [in, through, me], which [God Himself] works in me mightily.

Colossians 2
1 For I would that you knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them [the lukewarm, ignorant of their need to be saved from death] at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh [have not yet seen the LORD is present in my flesh];
2 That their hearts might be comforted [that their minds would thereby be, by Him, led into all truth], being knit together in love [Joined with God by His word heard as Him speaking directly], and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God [alive in His children who receive Him], the Father, and of Christ;
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the LORD [at His coming to you in His word], so walk you in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith [knowing He is with us, in us], as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain [worthless] deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments [stoicheion – the “elements,” the corrupt foundations] of the world [which Peter tells us melt away in the same fires they’ve caused and end the now old heaven and earth], and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwells all the fulness [pleroma – full filling] of the Godhead [theotes] bodily [somatikos – only appearing here, meaning “physically;” the Thayer’s Greek Lexicon giving the additional meaning “of the exalted spiritual body, visible only to the inhabitants of heaven”].
10 And you are complete [pleroo – filled full] in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision [removing the flesh that covers the head] of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also you are risen with him through the faith of the operation [removing the flesh] of God, who has raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, has he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; [I Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is your sting? O grave {hell}, where is your victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, Immovable, always abounding in the work of the LORD {giving this word as received, manifesting His presence in the corrupt world}, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the LORD.]
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers [in church and state, where the spiritually wicked sit thinking their policy of deception can hide them], he made a show of them openly [that they are the dead leading the world into death], triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come [their spiritual meaning here and now revealed by the living God alive in us]; but the [ONE] body is of Christ.
18 Let no man beguile you [out] of your reward (in a voluntary humility and) [These parentheses are added by me because it’s a dubious translation of the word they are rendered from, thelesis, the same word rendered “would” in verse 1 of this chapter and verse 27 of the previous. The context here is a warning against following fallen angels, speaking their own words as false Christs, beguiling silly women, as the devil did Eve. It is here saying these men “would” have you worship them in God’s place] worshipping of angels [the messengers, who, if God were truly speaking through them, would be speaking according to this word, and wouldn’t allow men to worship them, which is reserved for the Father alone. These men are fallen angels who left their first estate, speaking their own words and not the LORD’s, putting themselves in the Father’s place] intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up [with pride] by his fleshly mind [which they refuse to circumcise],
19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increase with the increase [filling them to the full] of God.
20 Wherefore if you be dead with Christ from the rudiments [stoicheion – the corrupt element] of the world, why, as though living in the world, are you subject to [the corrupt] ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Which things have indeed a show of [worldly] wisdom in will worship [ethelothreskeia – only used here, meaning “voluntary (arbitrary and unwarranted) piety, i.e. sanctimony], and [feigned] humility, and [needlessly] neglecting of the body: not in [that there is] any honor to the satisfying [plesmone – filling up] of the flesh.

Colossians 3
1 If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For you are dead, and your life is hid [krupto – concealed, a secret kept] with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear [phaneroo], then shall you also appear [phaneroo] with him in glory.
5 Mortify [nekroo – deaden] therefore your members [the parts of the body] which are upon the earth [abstaining from these things that deaden the spirit]; fornication [porneia – idolatry, which is intercourse, interaction and joining with those who put themselves in God’s place], uncleanness [impurity, the things these men corrupt and defile with the creations], inordinate affection [pathos – suffering for worthless things, deprivation these men falsely say are necessary], evil [kakos – harmful] concupiscence [epithumia – forbidden things into which these men have trespassed], and covetousness [pleonexia – extortion by fraud], which is idolatry [eidololatreia – worship mammon, worldly wealth]:
6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience [who refuse to hear His voice and obey] :
7 In the which you also walked some time, when you lived in them.
8 But now you also put off all these; anger [orge – your own vengeance], wrath [of man, that doesn’t work toward the repentance], malice [with the desire to injure – do no harm], blasphemy [vilification of the word and work of God], filthy communication [defiled by the ways taught: the degenerate corruption of church and state doctrine] out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where [according to the flesh] there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but [according to, in agreement with] Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you.
14 And above all these things put on charity [agape – giving this word as received], which is the bond of perfectness [that joins us together in His ONE BODY].
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also you are called in ONE BODY; and be you thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the LORD.
17 And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name [identity] of the LORD Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the LORD.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the LORD.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
23 And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the LORD, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the LORD you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the LORD Christ.
25 But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons.

Psalms 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament [this exposition] shows his handywork [the work of His hand, in which His glory is revealed].
2 Day unto day [understanding sent to give understand, giving His light, He] utters speech [through His children], and night unto night [in this time when ignorance covers the earth in darkness, He speaks to the ignorant, to] show knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their [His children’s] voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their [His children’s] words to the end of the [old] world. In them [His words in His children] has he set a tabernacle for the sun [His dwelling place in His people, whose rising with Him is the new day come],
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber [to join with all His people at large], and rejoices as a strong man [the Almighty] to run a race [this course set before us].
6 His going forth is from the end of the [old and corrupt] heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it [ending the old and beginning the new]: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof [all His treasure, hidden as if frozen in a Stone, are revealed by Him in this trial by fire].
7 The law of the LORD is perfect [tamiym – fill us to completion], converting [shuwb – returning to Him] the soul: the testimony [‘eduwth – kept, guarded and preserved in the ark] of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [that we speak this word as received] is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter [in our mouths] also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his [own] errors? Cleanse [by Your correction] me from secret faults.
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins [presuming things that aren’t true]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression [of those who’ve trespassed into things forbidden].
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

16 – 20 February 2024 PART 1 OF 2

If you prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward him; If iniquity be in your hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tabernacles.

The above, Job 11:13 & 14, comes as one of Job’s (God’s hated people, now descended into desolation and physical affliction) friends accuses Him based on a carnal-minded perception of his (Job’s) experience.

This (one of three) accuser’s name is Zohpar, said to mean (by the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary) “departure,” from the word tsaphar, meaning “to skip about, i.e. to return:– depart early.” 

In this definition, we understand the above verses and the falsity (evil) in the doctrine. The accusation speaks of the things that were in Job’s hand, his possessions (mammon, which is temporal), and wickedness in his tent (‘ohel – a covering, a dwelling place taken down and moved as necessary) as the cause of his condition. 

Here the LORD, using this name, speaks to us of these things, revealing the mystery (tsaphan) hidden therein, first of the accusers’ departure from Him, and our then, taking down our tent, departing their “wickedness,” here described using the word ‘evel, meaning moral evil. This pattern speaks of, by departures into false doctrines of men, the scattering of God’s people, which itself requires mass departure (the exodus) from this wickedness (into the wilderness) and the return into the ONE BODY, one right mind taught there (in the wilderness) under God.

The name has an unstated but obvious affinity to the word tsuwr, meaning “from 6696 [tsuwr – cramp, i.e, confine, which hostile intent]; properly, a cliff (or sharp rock, as compressed); generally, a rock or boulder; figuratively, a refuge; also an edge (as precipitous).” 

It is at this precipice, this pending calamity, that the LORD speaks as water flowing from Christ our Rock (tsuwr), saving us through uncovering (apokalupsis) wickedness as the cause, from which we depart (the apocalypse: the falsely so-called end of the world, when, in fact, it is evil revealed, ending its darkness, and, in this rescue, creating a new heaven and earth, wherein dwells righteousness).

The word tsaphar only appears one time, in Judges 7:3, as the LORD begins to weed out the weak (minded) and cowardly; to the end, He assembles an army of three hundred who obey His commands and, in doing, defeats those (the Midianites) causing endless strife and contention among His people. As we know, Jerubbaal (Baal will contend), who is Gideon (feller of the mighty, the warrior of God – as I Am), is the leader the LORD raises to command His army.

Judges 7
1 Then Jerubbaal [the LORD will join the battle against Baal: war against those, enemies foreign and domestic, who’ve caused endless strife and contention among His people], who is Gideon [the feller of the groves of these mighty men], and all the people that were with him, rose up early [shakam – inclined themselves to carry this burden], and pitched [chanah – their tent] beside [against] the well of Harod [the words causing the fear and trembling of the cowardly]: so that the host of the Midianites [the army of those speaking evil] were on the north side [tsaphown – the place of darkness, wherein the mysteries are held: reserved for this time of war] of them, by the hill of Moreh [the teaching that exalts itself above God’s], in the valley [against the lowly].
2 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, My own hand has saved me.
3 Now, therefore, go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early [tsaphar] from mount Gilead [this mountain where the LORD’s word is heard]. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand [who are doubly confused: by listening to the voices of church and state: men from the altar of Baal among them]; 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 the foundation of understanding].
6 And the number of them that lapped [laqaq], 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 and work in the battle], were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees [bowed to the confusion they’ve learned elsewhere] to drink water [this word of God].
7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped [laqaq] 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 [tseydah – this word God has provided] in their hand, and their trumpets [to call all to the battle]: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent [‘ohel], and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian [stife – who are the cause the 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 [Gideon – the warrior who is the feller of the mighty], Arise, get you down unto the host [the army of Midian]; for I have delivered it into your hand.
10 But if you fear to go down, go you with Phurah [only appearing here, meaning foliage, from pa’ar – meaning “to gleam, i.e. (causatively) embellish; figuratively, to boast; also to explain (i.e. make clear) oneself; denominative from 6288, to shake a tree,” those in whom God is glorified] your servant down to the host:
11 And you shall hear [shama’ – shall obey after you hear] what they say; and afterward shall your hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah [foliage – those who’ve sprouted to life: the elect remnant, whose mouths are opened to make all things clearly seen as they boast of the LORD with us] his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host [as locust coming against the foliage]. [Isaiah 44:23 Sing {repeat His words}, O you heavens; for the LORD has done it: shout {as a trumpet of God}, you lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, you mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself {pa’ar} in Israel.]
12 And the Midianites [those causing endless strife among God’s people] and the Amalekites [the enemies of God’s people, who’ve warred against them in every generation] and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers [as a swarm of locust] for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side [dry land upon which God’s word has come, showing this is the time and season of the end] 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 of barley bread [this word of God] tumbled [came down from heaven] into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent [‘ohel – what covers them in this time of desolation wandering in the wilderness], and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent [‘ohel] lay along [the corrupt, who haven’t known the LORD, as trees felled].
14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon [the warrior of God and feller of the mighty] the son of Joash [given by Jehovah], a man of Israel: for into his hand has God delivered Midian, and all the host.
15 And it was so, when Gideon heard [shama’ – obeyed after] the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel [the elect remnant, the three hundred], and said, Arise; for the LORD has delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
16 And he divided [as Jacob divided his family] the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers [where there is no water as a flood], and lamps within the pitchers [My word as fire, replacing the flood, to end the old and corrupt world].
17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall you do.
18 When I blow with a trumpet [the LORD’s voice exalted], I and all that are with me, then blow you the trumpets [exalting this sword of the LORD] also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword [this word as fire from our mouths, against the fires of the wicked] of the LORD, and of Gideon.
19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers [showing they are worthless, no longer carrying the word of God] that were in their hands.
20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. [Jeremiah 50:44 Behold, he {the LORD, I Am} shall come up like a lion from {roaring as a trumpet sounding against them} the swelling of Jordan {against the words that carried all in the descent into death} unto the habitation of the strong {in power}: but I will make them {the wicked} suddenly run away from her {My people they have oppressed}: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? {All these are references to Michael, who is like God and stands for God’s people in this time of Jacob’s trouble, and Shiloh, who comes as the shepherd and stone of God’s people – the king of peace, and king of righteousness, in the order of Melchizedek.}]
22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah [house of trees – powers that are causing strife, who Gideon has cut down] in Zererath [the oppressors], and to the border of Abelmeholah [the field of rejoicing], unto Tabbath [celebration].
23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali [those who were before wrestling with God and His word, now knowing it is Him], and out of Asher [now rejoicing and celebrating, knowing Him], and out of all Manasseh [now that they remember the God they had forgotten], and pursued after the Midianites [those who, through their lie, intentionally cause strife].
24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim [all God’s people in these last days], saying, come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah [the people who ford, cross over into life in the promised end] and Jordan [over the rivers, words of the wicked, that carry all into death]. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan.
25 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb [raven – covered in darkness] and Zeeb [wolf – who scattered God’s people]; and they slew Oreb upon the rock [tsuwr – the place from where their words of strife flow] Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan [overcoming these men’s misleading words, passing over death into life].

The above, the end of the foreign enemies, comes after we’re told in the previous chapter of the falling away from the LORD, to Baal. The chapter speaks of Gideon’s destruction of the altar of Baal and felling the groves: bringing down the mighty, cutting them off, which Gideon sees as a fleece upon which dew (waters, words, that appears when elements congeal) is and then isn’t.

Judges 6
1 And the children of Israel [the people of God] did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.
3 And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they [as a warm of locust] came up against them;
4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till you come unto Gaza [until strength returns], and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
5 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.
6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.
7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,
8 That the LORD sent a prophet [a messenger, as the angel of His presence] unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land;
10 And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites [those exalting their words above God’s], in whose land you dwell: but you have not obeyed [shama’] my voice.
11 And there came an angel of the LORD [the messenger of His presence], and sat under an oak [the strength of the upright] which was in Ophrah [in the dust of the current ruin], that pertained unto Joash [the flame given by Jehovah] the Abiezrite [from where comes the Father’s help]: and his son Gideon [the feller of the mighty] threshed wheat [separating the worthless from these treasures of God, discerning good and evil, choosing the good and refusing evil] by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. [Job 38: 15 And from the wicked their light {understanding} is withheld, and the high arm {of the mighty in power} shall be broken.]
12 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor.
13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my LORD, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD has forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this [remembering Me, seeing Me in My Almighty power revealed] your might, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent you?
15 And he said unto him, Oh my LORD, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh [forgotten the LORD], and I Am the least in my father’s house.
16 And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with you, and you shall smite the Midianites as one [‘echad – united as ONE] man.
17 And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in your sight [found these treasures by Your sight, seeing as You see], then show me a sign that you talk with me.
18 Depart not hence, I pray you, until I come unto you, and bring forth my present [bring this offering, Your treasures out of darkness], and set it before [paniym – in Your manifested presence] you. And he [the LORD’s messenger] said, I will tarry until you come again.
19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes [without corruption] of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak [these things offered are what strengthens the upright], and presented it.
20 And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock [cela’ – the LORD’s strong ones] and pour out the broth. And he did so.
21 Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock [tsuwr – the ONE BODY of Christ], and consumed the flesh [bringing forth the Spirit veiled therein] and the unleavened cakes [that fell upon the tent of the Midianites, as the sword from the mouth of the LORD]. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight [became Gideon’s way, by the eye of the LORD revealed, seeing as He sees].
22 And when Gideon perceived [ra’ah – was shepherded into seeing] that he was an angel [the messenger in who is manifested the presence] of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O LORD God! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face [paniym – seeing Jehovah’s presence in the messenger] to face [paniym – to manifest His presence in Gideon and those with him, by seeing as He sees].
23 And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto you; fear not: you shall not die [as is though would happen to any who see Him].
24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovah-shalom [Jehovah’s peace and security found in His presence revealed]: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah [in the dust of the earth’s ruin, from where man is again created] of the Abiezrites [from where again has come the Father’s strength, His help].
25 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take your father’s young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal [the creations men put in God’s place and call by His name] that your father has, and cut down [karath] the grove [felling the mighty, the corrupt powers] that is by it:
26 And build an altar unto the LORD your God upon the top [highest esteem – time, I Am] of this rock [the ONE BODY of Christ], in the ordered place [ma’arakah – as the commander of His assembled army], and take the second bullock [the second crop harvested], and offer a burnt sacrifice [saved as it were by fire] with the wood of the grove which you shall cut down [karath].
27 Then Gideon took ten [the number of ordinal perfection] men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father’s household, and the [disordered, self-willed] men of the city, that he could not do it by day [not in a way they understood], that he did it by night [this consecration, inauguration, of which the old orders are ignorant].
28 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal [idols, abominations men created and put in the LORD’s place] was cast down [nathats – overthrown], and the grove [men as a crop of corrupt leaders, thought to be the upright of the world they’ve defiles by their abomination they put in God’s place call by His name] was cut down [karath] that was by it, and the second bullock [the new crop willing to obey, do the LORD’s work, and at His command open their mouth’s in battle] was offered upon the altar that was built.
29 And they said one to another, Who has done this thing? And when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon [the warrior of God and feller of the mighty] the son of Joash [given by Jehovah] has done this thing.
30 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out your son, that he may die: because he has cast down [nathats – overthrown] the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down [karath] the grove that was by it.
31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will you plead for Baal? will you save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning [when this understanding comes]: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one has cast down his altar.
32 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he has thrown down [nathats – overthrown] his altar.
33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel [against this new crop the LORD has sown into the earth].
34 But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet [calling His army to assemble in the LORD’s presence]; and Abiezer [they were helped by the Father, becoming His children by obeying His correction] was gathered [za’aq – proclaiming the LORD’s presence in His warrior] after him.
35 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh [to all those who’ve forgotten the LORD is a man of war]; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers [mal’ak – angels, those sent with this word] unto Asher [those who will rejoice in hearing it declaring the LORD’s presence and announcing this is the time of His people’s rescue], and unto Zebulun [when this word of God is exalted above the words of all others], and unto Naphtali [by those who before wrestled with this word, and were unable to comprehend it is His presence manifested]; and they came up to meet them.
36 And Gideon said unto God, If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said,
37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor [goren – only appearing this once in Judges, it the threshing-floor, where, after the harvest, wheat is separated from the chaff]; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said.
38 And it was so: for he rose up early [first from the dead] on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
39 And Gideon said unto God, Let not your anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray you, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
40 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground [‘erets – earth].

The word above, only used here (seven times), renders “fleece,” is gazzah, from the word gazaz, meaning “to cut off; specifically to shear a flock or shave the hair; figuratively to destroy an enemy.”

These words speak of the LORD’s presence manifested in the dew, the waters, His word now against those who are to be cut off, sheared from His flock from which their words are rung out. Then, after this threshing, separating the wheat from the chaff, those who’ve become His children (ben) by His correction, the word no longer seen is these men, and instead is, through us, sent upon all the earth.

Isaiah 21
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and anoint [the one who is] the shield.
6 For thus has the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him [open his mouth and] declare what he sees.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels [as an army going to battle]; and he hearkened diligently [obeying this voice of the LORD] with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion [‘ariy – the body of Christ rising by/with His strength]: My LORD, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime [when Your understand is with me], and I am set in my ward whole nights [while darkness covers the earth]:
9 And, behold, here comes a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen [from the battle into which the LORD sent them]. And he answered and said, Babylon [confusion’s rule] is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he has broken [as a feller fells trees] unto the ground.
10 O my threshing [opening the word, referring us to Isaiah 28, and destroying the gates of hell], and the corn [ben – sons] of my [threshing] floor: that which I have heard [and obeyed] of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

The above threshing is the baptism of repentance sent to all the earth to right its course and, from its darkest moment, bring upon it life again.

Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite [the Comforter, who is also God the ensnarer].
2 God is jealous, and the LORD revenges; the LORD revenges, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves wrath for his enemies.
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers: Bashan languishes, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knows them that trust in him.
8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end [kalah] of the place thereof, and darkness [their own ignorance] shall pursue his enemies.
9 What do you imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end [kalah]: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10 For while they be folded together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 There is one come out of you, that imagines evil [ra’] against the LORD, a wicked counselor [ya’ats].
12 Thus says the LORD; Though they be quiet [shalam – though they think their power is secure], and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down [gazaz], when he shall pass through [‘abar – passing over to bring us from death into life]. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 For now will I break his yoke [of the wicked joined among you] from off you, and will burst your bonds in sunder.
14 And the LORD has given a commandment concerning you, that no more of your name be sown: out of the house of your gods will I cut off [karath] the graven image and the molten image: I will make your grave; for you are vile.
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace! O Judah, keep your solemn feasts, perform your vows [neder]: for the wicked shall no more pass through you [‘abar – no longer bring the living into death]; he is utterly cut off [karath].

1 Corinthians 15
51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed [allasso].
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?

The LORD says, in Hoses 13:14 (from where this last verse is quoted), He will not repent from this work of uncovering this mystery (cathar – thing and matters concealed), which is victory over and destruction of death and hell. The word there rendered “repentance” is the once-used word nocham, “from 5162; ruefulness, i.e. desistance:–repentance.” The word it’s from is nacham (Nahum) meaning comfort, as in the Holy Spirit (the Paraclete, the Comforter), the LORD working unknown to lead us into all truth.

Hosea 13
6 According to their pasture [of corruption they consumed], so were they [their minds] filled; they were filled, and their heart was [the corrupt ideas and words of men were] exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
9 O Israel, you have destroyed yourself; but in me is your help.
10 I will be your king: where is any other that may save you in all your cities? and your judges of whom you saidst, Give me a king and princes?
11 I gave you a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim [God’s people in this generation] is bound up [tsarar – is the enemies {misleaders} he is bound to]; his sin is hid [tsaphan – his offense is hiding these treasures].
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman [to bring forth the king and these treasures] shall [has] come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave [sh’owl, Sheol]; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be your plagues; O grave [Sheol – hell], I will be your destruction: repentance shall be hid from my eyes [nocham cathar ‘ayin – this comfort, restoring things and matter concealed shall come as this fountain of living waters].

Why is it that God’s people refuse this correction, not believing they need to be changed: purged away from the corruption taught to them all? Are they better (holier) than the LORD himself? 

Matthew 3
10 And now also the axe [as in the hand of Gideon] is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11 I indeed baptize you with water [this dew] unto repentance. but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire [from His mouth: our mouths]:
12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his [threshing] floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire [from His mouth].
13 Then comes Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh] from Galilee [from His inner circle] to Jordan [against the waters that carried all the world in its descent into death and hell] unto John [the dove, the sign of the end reached], to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of you [with the Holy Ghost and fire, Your words that must be repeated], and come you to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized [clearing My ONE BODY of the corruption: the waters of Jordan, chaff taught by chaff], went up straightway [rising to life in us] out of the water [of Jordan, into which all have gone and out which all must rise]: and, lo [after the cleansing of corruption], the heavens were opened [full understanding was given] unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove [realizing, seeing, this is the sign of the end, like Jonah, coming from the belly of the earth, the belly of hell: sheol], and lighting upon him:
17 And lo a voice [of the Father] from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Isaiah 28
5 In that day shall the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts [manifested in His man of war] be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem [tsphiyrah – a crowning as the mourning] of beauty, unto the residue [sh’ar – the elect remnant spoken of in Isaiah 10] 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.
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 – hearing the voice of Jehovah – the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26]? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts [who now draw from the Ancient of days].
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 – noah, the rest at the end reached]; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear [shama’ – obey].
13 But the word of the LORD [Jehovah] 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 [Jehovah], you scornful men [mockers and blasphemers vilifying this word and work of God: in and through the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost the world doesn’t know], that [without justice] rule this people which is in [New Heavenly] Jerusalem.
15 Because you have [ignorantly] said, We have made [karath – are cut off by] a covenant with death [maveth], and with hell [sheol – the habitation of the dead] 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 [‘Adonay Jehovih – KING of kings and LORD of lords], 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 [maveth] 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 – the sound doctrine, teaching, and the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26, which is the voice of Jehovah heard].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a [sleeping] man can stretch himself on it: and the covering [the lies and falsehoods under which they hide is] narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 For the LORD [Jehovah] shall rise up as in mount Perazim [2 Samuel 5:20 – as water from His throne, breaking forth upon His and David’s enemies], he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon [Joshua 10:10 & 11 – His word reserved {frozen} in heaven, sent as great hailstones upon the wicked: the current corrupt crop sitting in power], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange [known to no one except Him] act.
22 Now therefore be you not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD GOD [‘Adonay Jehovih – KING of kings and LORD of lords] of hosts [a man of war and Commander, Chief, of the armies of heaven] a consumption [kalah – a full end, as in Daniel 9:27], even determined [charats – decreed, as in Joshua 10:21 saying “And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua {Jesus} at Makkedah {as one flock under one shepherd} in peace: none moved {charats} his tongue against any of the children of Israel.” And 2 Samiel 5:24, the LORD there saying to David, “And let it be, when you hear {shama’ – obey} the sound {qowl – the voice} of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees {baka’, from which comes bkowr – telling us this is the voice of the “firstborn”}, that then you shall bestir {charats} yourself: for then shall the LORD go out before {paniym – His presence will be manifested with, in} you, to smite the host of the Philistines {the enemy army now mixed among you}.”] upon the whole earth.
23 Give you ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

And, obliviously condemning themselves in their displayed ignorance and lacking the humility to listen, the accusers answer:

Job 11
2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
3 Should your lies make men hold their peace? and when you mock [those blatantly ignorant of God’s work, in His word], shall no man [by their false interpretations, of which they are unmindful] make you ashamed?
4 For you have said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in your eyes.
5 But oh that God would speak [as He does, unknown as the Holy Ghost, to the ignorant], and open his lips against you [as He has without your knowledge];
6 And that he would show you the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
7 Can you by searching find out God? can you [by diligent search] find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8 It [finding Him] is as high as heaven; what can you do? deeper than hell; what can you know?
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 If he cut off [chalaph – Passover to change: to open the eyes of the those blinded by their own corrupted thoughts], and shut up [all understanding, reserving it for Himself to reveal to whom He wills], or gather together [gahal – assembles all to hear Him speak], then who can hinder him?
11 For he knows vain [the worthless words of] men: he sees [ra’ah – He comes as a shepherd and stone against] wickedness also; will he [the wicked] not then consider [biyn – understand] it [is Him]?
12 For vain men would be [think themselves] wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt [in the wilderness of their own ignorance wandering without knowledge that comes only from God].
13 If you prepare your heart [by removing the corruption blinding your minds], and stretch out your hands toward him [readying yourself to do His work];
14 If iniquity be in your hand [be found in your work], put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tabernacles [the true tabernacle is your mind where the LORD works to dwell – therefore leave the corruption behinds, so you see and join the LORD to save the ignorant who remain blind].
15 For then shall you lift up your face without spot; yea, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
16 Because you shall forget your misery, and remember it as waters that pass away [‘abar – your own words passed over, overcome, bringing you from death into light: understanding which is life]:
17 And your age [this generation] shall be clearer than the noonday [freed from corruption when this understanding, the light of the LORD, is fully risen in you]: you shall shine forth, you shall be as the morning [the beginning of this new day, new world age].
18 And you shall be secure, because there is hope; yea, you shall dig about you, and you shall take your rest in safety.
19 Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto you.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost [rejecting His Spirit, they are left in the darkness and hell of their own minds’ choosing].

The word “age,” above in verse 17, is the five times used Hebrew word cheled, “from an unused root apparently meaning to glide swiftly; life (as a fleeting portion of time); hence, the world (as transient):–age, short time, world.” All four of its other uses come in the Psalms.

Psalms 17
1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that go not out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from your presence; let your eyes behold the things that are equal [and just].
3 You have proved [bachan – in this trial in the fires] my heart; you have visited [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth] me in the night [this time when it’s covered in total ignorance of You]; you have tried me, and shall find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress [only speaking those things You’ve put in my mouth].
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 [showing Your power to change men’s minds] them which put their trust in you from those that rise up [with words and violence] against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat [prospering by abusing the seats of power]: with their mouth they speak proudly [against all that is good and right].
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth [all their thoughts are to bring this world, this generation, down, misleading it into deeper hell and destruction];
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 [deliverance] is [the work of] your sword [this word from Your mouth]:
14 From men which are your hand [through rising in them, You work Your Salvation], O LORD, from men of the world [cheled – this corrupt and ending age], which have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure [tsaphan – which they refuse]: they are full of children [ben – but out of them, from MY threshing, is born a new generation], and [the wicked] leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold your face [presence] in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness.

16 – 20 February 2024 PART 2 OF 2

Isaiah 41
15 Behold, I will make you a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth [mouths doing My work, separating the flesh]: you shall thresh the mountains [seats of power, removing the chaff and gathering the wheat], and beat them small, and shall make the hills [every misleader] as chaff.
16 You shall fan them, and the wind [My Spirit speaking and working through you] shall carry them away, and the whirlwind [from where the voice of the Almighty is heard] 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 [this word of God], and there is none, and their tongue fails for thirst [and because they are without it their words fail to change their condition], I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
18 I will open rivers in high places [and My word will be sent through My people who hear and obey My commands], and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
19 I will plant [My good seed, a new crow of leaders] in the wilderness [men as] the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert [my upright among those who haven’t heard My word, as] the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:
20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.
21 Produce your cause, says the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, says the King of Jacob.
22 Let them bring them forth, and show us what shall happen: let them show the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end [‘achariyth – these last days of darkness] of them; or declare us things for to come.
23 Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
24 Behold, you are of nothing, and your work of naught: an abomination is he that chooses you.
25 I have raised up one from the north [out of ignorance], and he [I Am] shall come: from the rising of the sun [this understanding shining upon the earth through My ONE BODY] shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon mortar [men holding Babylon together, by the confusion, lies as policy, ruling the world] and as the potter treads clay.
26 Who has declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that shows, yea, there is none that declares, yea, there is none that hears your words.
27 The first [that does declare it is the present LORD that does this] shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them [see these things and understand the time they declare]: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counselor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.

Jeremiah 23
16 Thus says the LORD of hosts [a man of war, I Am], Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain [worthless]: 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.
18 For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD, and has perceived [it is Him] and heard his word? who has marked his word, and heard it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has executed, and till he has performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days [‘achariyth] you shall consider [biyn – understand] it perfectly [biynah – this is the understanding given by Jehovah, which comes to and through men of His choosing].
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran [saying they have biynah]: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied [in My name].
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should 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 – not a God of these men’s evil decrees]?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? says the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? says the LORD.
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name [My identity] by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal [the idols men like them created and called 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? says the LORD.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? says the LORD; and like a hammer that breaks the [false] rock [in whose words men trust] in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbor [and instead feed them their creations, misleading them with their evil].
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He [the LORD] says [when I haven’t said anything to them other than what I here to all say, as the sun rises upon all, shining from east to west, upon all who come out of these tents of evil and receive my correction, this light, and come into My ONE BODY, My One House, wherein I dwell].
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, says the LORD, and do tell them [their own words, saying God says when He hasn’t], and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness [giving no value to this true word of God]; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all [as they haven’t], says the LORD.

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 [the false accusers] that persecute me: [false Christs that] 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 of the LORD chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel 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.

Isaiah 11
1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding [biynah – understand that is only given by the LORD Himself], the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding [ruwach – he is made a quickening Spirit] in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes [but by the eyes of the LORD], neither reprove after the hearing of his ears [not abiding men’s word, but hearing and speaking as the Father leads me]:
4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath [Spirit] of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

And the upright, awakening say:

Psalms 39
1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spoke I with my tongue,
4 LORD, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.
5 Behold, you have made my days as a handbreadth; and my age [cheled] as nothing before you [In Your presence]: truly every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
6 Surely every man walks in a vain show: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heaps up riches, and knows not who shall gather them.
7 And now, LORD, what wait I for? my hope is in you.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because you did it.
10 Remove your stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of your hand [as against a false rock].
11 When you with rebukes correct man for iniquity, you make his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry [which He will when He hears it is with this understanding]; hold not your peace at my tears: for I am a stranger [who hasn’t known He is] with you, and a sojourner [traveling to this expected end], as all my fathers were.
13 O spare me, that I may recover strength [which is understanding], before I go hence, and be no more.

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 of Christ [His identity manifested in you by His word, this same word, made flesh], happy are you; for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part [in you] he is glorified.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer [as many among you are], or as a thief [as many among you are], or as an evildoer [as many among you are], or as a busybody in other men’s matters [as many among you are].
16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian [for Christ’s indemnity revealed in you by this understanding, His One Mind, His voice speaking it], let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator [in this new heaven and earth age, wherein dwells His righteousness].

Friends, the enemies cannot create anything good. They are destroyers and destruction is their only creation. Come out from among them that you be not caught up in their self-destruction.

Psalms 49 
1 Hear [shama’ – and obey] this, all you people; give ear, all you inhabitants of the world [cheled – this now ending age of darkness]:
2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding [tabuwn – considering Your intelligence, heard in Your argument].
4 I will incline my ear to a parable [this thing you reveal to us from Your word]: I will open my dark saying upon the harp [striking these notes into a pleasant song worth repeating].
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels [the corruption picked up in man’s journey through time] shall compass me about?
6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceases forever:)
9 That he should still live forever, and not see corruption.
10 For he [man] sees that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue forever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honor abides not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This their [man’s] way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings [their words, ideas they degenerately corrupt until this end is reached, when all are dead and none know it]. Selah.
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave [sheol – hell, of which the dead are ignorant]; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning [when this light comes and awakens them]; and their beauty [the wicked’s who refuse the light and choose darkness, because their deeds are evil and their pride keeps them from repentance] shall consume in the grave [in hell] from their dwelling.
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power [deceptions, and delusions] of the grave [sheol – hell]: for he shall receive me [when I receive Him]. Selah.
16 Be not you afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18 Though while he lived [in the flesh] he blessed his soul: and men will praise you, when you do well to yourself.
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light [this understanding].
20 Man that is in honor, and understands [biyn] not, is like the beasts [without the LORD’s Spirit] that perish.

Then the LORD made known these things to His friends:

Daniel 2
18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel [the judgment of God personified] and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon [now in this time when man’s confusion and the resulting delusion, evil decrees, rule the world].
19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision [seeing by the eyes of the LORD]. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
21 And he changes the times [ages] and the seasons: he removes kings, and sets up kings: he gives wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding [the only time the Chaldee version of the word biynah appears]:
22 He reveals the deep and secret things: he knows what is in the darkness, and the light [understanding] dwelleth with him [alone].
23 I thank you, and praise you, O you God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have made known unto me now what we desired of you: for you have now made known unto us the king’s matter.

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

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 [by men] 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.

Psalms 89
1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever: with my mouth will I make known your faithfulness to all generations.
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: your faithfulness shall you establish in the very heavens.
3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4 Your seed will I establish forever, and build up your throne to all generations. Selah.
5 And the heavens shall praise your wonders, O LORD: your faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6 For who in the heaven [where understanding is found] can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto you? or to your faithfulness round about you?
9 You rule the raging of the sea: when the [proud] waves thereof arise, you stillest them.
10 You have broken Rahab [the spirit of the arrogant] in pieces, as one that is slain; you have scattered your enemies with your strong arm.
11 The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours: as for the world and the fulness thereof, you have founded them.
12 The north and the south you have created them: Tabor [those You’ve raised] and Hermon [Your sanctuary, in Your presence] shall rejoice in your name [identity].
13 You have a mighty arm: strong is your hand, and high is your right hand.
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of your throne: mercy and truth shall go before your face.
15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance [understanding Your presence].
16 In your name shall they rejoice all the day: and in your righteousness shall they be exalted.
17 For you are the glory of their strength: and in your favor our horn [governing as He governs] shall be exalted.
18 For the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel [the people that enter His promised kingdom, receiving Him] is our king.
19 Then you spokes in vision to your holy one, and said, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him [Thank You Father]:
21 With whom my hand shall be established: my arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 And I will beat down his foes before his face [His presence in me], and plague them that hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn [government] be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers [this word flowing into the sea: all people at large].
26 He shall cry unto me, You are my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake my law [as they have], and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit [come as the Chief Overseer in My chosen, as I have against] their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him [His children who return to Him by receiving His correction], nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure forever [I Am this proven], and his throne as the sun [this light sent upon all] before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon [restoring order to civil government], and as a faithful witness in heaven [giving My understanding as received]. Selah.
38 But you have cast off and abhorred, you have been wroth with your anointed [for the sake of Your children now in the fires].
39 You have made void the covenant of your servant: you have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40 You have broken down all his hedges; you have brought his strong holds to ruin.
41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbors.
42 You have set up the right hand of his adversaries; you have made all his enemies to rejoice.
43 You have also turned the edge of his sword, and have not made him to stand in the battle.
44 You have made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
45 The days of his youth have you shortened: you have covered him with shame. Selah.
46 How long, LORD? will you hide yourself forever? shall your wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember how short [cheled – this age] my time is: wherefore have you made all men in vain?
48 What man is he that lives, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave [sheol]? Selah.
49 LORD, where are your former loving-kindnesses, which you swore unto David in your truth?
50 Remember, LORD, the reproach of your servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
51 Wherewith your enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of your anointed.
52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

1 Timothy 6
15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and LORD of lords;
16 Who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.

Isaiah 29
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work [opening their eyes to see as I see] and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding [biynah – those saying they have an understanding of God] of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding [biyn]?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon [purity seen on high] shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest [a new crop of upright men]?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity [‘ophel – the things obscured], and out of darkness.
19 The meek [who shall inherit the earth] also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed [kalah], and all that watch for iniquity are cut off [karath]:
21 That make a man an offender for a word [claiming they are offended by this word of God], and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught [their worthless words].
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding [biynah], and they that murmured [against Me] shall learn doctrine.

Psalms 104
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honor and majesty.
2 Who covers yourself with light as with a garment: who stretches out the heavens like a curtain:
3 Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4 Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7 At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder they hasted away.
8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which you have founded for them.
9 You have set a bound [for the wicked] that they may not pass over [‘abar – from death into life]; that they turn not again to cover the earth [in darkness].
10 He sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
11 They give drink [Your word] to every beast of the field [those in the earth without Your Spirit]: the wild asses [wandering in the wilderness] quench their thirst.
12 By them shall the fowls [who by the strength of Your understanding rise] of the heaven have their habitation, which sing [repeating this word as received] among the branches [to those who will by it become fruitful].
13 He waters the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works.
14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face [presence] to shine, and bread which strengthen man’s heart.
16 The trees [men sown] of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
19 He appointed the moon [civil government] for seasons [of darkness and light]: the sun knows his going down [when understanding leaves the earth].
20 You make darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts [those lacking Your Spirit] of the forest [the corrupt crop] do creep forth.
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat [this deep understanding that returns their strength] from God.
22 The sun [light, understanding] arises, they gather themselves together [into His ONE BODY], and lay them [the wicked who hunt souls in the darkness] down in their dens [their holes, taken in their own pits, in the earth].
23 Man goes forth unto his work and to his labor until the evening [working to make the earth bring forth fruit, as long as understanding is present].
24 O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth [by Your work] is full of your riches.
25 So is this great and wide sea [of human existence], wherein are things [wickedness in the darkness] creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26 There go the ships [institution created by men, that ride upon the sea of humanity]: there is that leviathan [the word that flows from these institution of church and state], whom you have made to play therein.
27 These wait all upon you [to be restored into righteousness, or be destroyed by their own evil ways]; that you mayest give them their meat [this understanding] in due season [now when the age of darkness has run its full course and will by the law of nature be changed].
28 That you give them they gather: you open your hand [giving these treasures], they are filled with good.
29 You hide your face [paniym – Your presence], they are troubled: you take away their breath [Your Spirit from them], they die, and return to their dust [the ruin of the earth under those without His Spirit leading them].
30 You send forth your spirit, they are created [new again from the dust]: and you renew the face of the earth.
31 The glory of the LORD shall endure forever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles [to shake the wicked from it]: he touches the hills, and they smoke [witnessing to the fires therein].
33 I will sing [repeating His word as received] unto the LORD as long as I live [showing we are no longer dead]: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being [‘owd – in every iteration of my flesh, wherein my immortal self continues].
34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless you the LORD, O my soul. Praise you the LORD.

13 – 14 February 2024

Having confidence in your obedience I wrote unto you, knowing that you will also do more than I say.

Friends, in the above, Philemon 1:21, the LORD speaks to us today, of the work set before us, now, when His word is received as Him speaking, here present, with us, in us.

The chapter begins, verse 1 saying, “Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon [my friends] our dearly beloved, and fellow-laborer,” addressing us, “I and the children the LORD has given me.”

The original text, without the word “our,” describes Timothy philadelphia, the brother of God’s love, with you His friends: all His “dearly beloved,” from the word agapetos, those to whom His word is given: His unfailing charity now received as His word.

It is in this context He continues:

Philemon
2 And to our beloved Apphia [fruitful: the fruit of His word effectually working], and Archippus [Arch horse – His white horse, His purified people upon, in, which He rides into battle] our fellow-soldier, and to the church [His ONE and ONLY BODY] in your house:
3 Grace to you [this gift of God’s treasures you’ve received], and peace, from God our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ.
4 I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers [conversations with the Father],
5 Hearing [from Him] of your love [agape – giving this word as received] and faith [receiving it as His], which you have toward the LORD Jesus [whom you’ve thereby received], and [giving it as His word] toward all saints;
6 That the communication of your faith may become effectual [working in those who receive it as His word, as you have] by the acknowledging of every good thing [given to you by the LORD] which is in you in Christ Jesus.
7 For we have great joy [now when you’ve realized the LORD in us speaking and working] and consolation in [paraklesis epi – as the Paraclete in us, giving] your love [agape – giving His word], because the bowels of [the LORD’s mercy toward] the saints are refreshed [rests upon them] by you, brother [through Timothy].
8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin [epitasso – rightly order] you that which is convenient [aneko – boldly telling where you have arrived, this expected end],
9 Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech [parakaleo – as the LORD speak to] you, being such a one as Paul the aged, and [telling you that you are] now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
10 I beseech you for my son Onesimus [I, Timothy, Am, as you are, the ONE through whom the word from the LORD is profitable], whom I have begotten in my bonds: [Philippians 2: 22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.]
11 Which in time past was to you unprofitable, but now [when received as His] profitable to you and to me:
12 Whom I [the LORD] have sent again: you therefore receive him, that is, my own bowels:
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in your stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel [by which he has awakened you]:
14 But without your mind [willingly become obedient] would I do nothing; that your benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season [remaining separated until this end, your perfection], that you shouldest receive him [the LORD alive in me] forever;
16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto you, [Timothy, and the children the LORD has given me] both in the flesh, and in the LORD?
17 If you count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
18 If he has wronged you, or owe you ought, put that on my account;
19 I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to you how you owe unto me even my own self besides.
20 Yea, brother [upon whom the LORD’s love has come], let me have joy [realizing the LORD and acting upon His word as commanded] of you in the LORD: refresh my bowels [awaken the inner man of the brethren, by His word] in the LORD.
21 Having confidence in your obedience I wrote unto you, knowing that you will also do more than I say.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging [the dwelling place of the LORD, His ONE BODY]: for I trust that through your prayers [this conversation with the LORD] I shall be given unto you.
23 There salute you Epaphras [all those the LORD has loved, this now awakening generation of God’s people], my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
24 Marcus [those set of the defense of the gospel], Aristarchus [who will rule as God intends, with truth and justice: just and equal], Demas [and thereby govern all people], Lucas [giving His light: His understanding], my fellow-laborers [doing the LORD’s work].
25 The grace [these gifts of God] of our LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit [now risen immortal]. Amen.

When the the LORD speaks of us (His ONE BODY) as Onesimos (from the once used word oninemi, in verse 20 above rendered “have joy,” meaning, “a prolonged form of an apparently primary verb (onomai, to slur); for which another prolonged form (onao) is used as an alternate in some tenses (unless indeed it be identical with the base of 3686 [“name” – marked idenity] through the idea of notoriety); to gratify, i.e. (middle voice) to derive pleasure or advantage from:–have joy”) He is referring us to its one other appearance, in Colossians 4:9.

The chapter, Colossians 4, begins speaking to “masters,” from the word kurios, meaning “from kuros (supremacy); supreme in authority, i.e. (as noun) controller; by implication, Master (as a respectful title):– God, LORD, master, Sir.” It is there speaking of teaching, giving what is just and equal to those who’ve waited for it from the LORD alone.

Friends, it’s a hard thing to accept that all the voices you are following, even those claiming they are on your side, if they aren’t speaking according to this word, declaring the LORD’s presence in these last days of darkness, are enemies of the cross, trampling under foot the LORD’s sacrifice in the flesh: declaring His just and equal judgments.

Philippians 3
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule [same order, bound to Him willingly], let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an ensample [if they speak not according to this word there is no understanding in them: not knowing the LORD or the time].
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence [in this conversation from where we receive His grace] also we look for the Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Isaiah 43
15 Truly you are a God that hides yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols [creating their own ways and ideas, to which they say men should bow and repeat].
17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: you shall not be ashamed nor confounded WORLD WITHOUT END.
18 For thus says the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret [but here in plain sight boldly declared], in a dark place of the earth [not in agreement, not covenanting, with the ignorant: those in death and hell]: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek you me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you that are escaped of the nations [escaping those who don’t know me or the time]: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god [they created and put in my place] that cannot save.
21 Tell you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? who has told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me [the one the LORD raised up like the serpent in the wilderness], and be you saved, all the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new]: 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 against him shall be ashamed.
25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

1 Timothy 6
11 But you, O man of God, flee these things [the love of money, speaking and teaching for it, professing things just and equal that are the opposite, to please the itching ears of the blind and lost who under you are ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth] and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto you are also called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13 I give you charge in the sight of God, who quickens all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14 That you keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our LORD Jesus Christ:
15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and LORD of lords;
16 Who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded [exalting their words above the LORD’s], nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy;
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate [this word from the mouth of the LORD, as received];
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings [of men ignorant of the LORD and not knowing the time], and oppositions of science falsely so called [false knowledge, men’s opinions without a good foundation, that aren’t knowledge]:
21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

1 Corinthians 3
1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat [that only benefits the spiritually grown, who have put away childish things]: for hitherto you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are you able [because you are listening to the opinions of men, waiting for them to declare the LORD and the time, when He has always intended for His to be the only voice declaring Himself present in this time].
3 For you are yet carnal [not able to hear the Father here speaking and working His will]: for whereas there is among you [of the flesh, carnal, mind] envying, and [of the flesh, carnal, mind] strife, and [of the flesh, carnal, mind] divisions, are you not carnal, and walk as men?
4 For while one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not carnal [not understanding it is Christ alive those speaking this same word with one mind]?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed [the LORD is alive in us speaking, known by our one mind], even as the LORD gave to every man?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God [in us] gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planted any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase.
8 Now he that plants and he that waters are one [speaking the same things given and taught by the LORD in us]: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are laborers together with God: you are God’s husbandry, you are God’s building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master-builder [until Christ is formed in you and you declare these same words], I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in our flesh revealing Himself].
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day [of the LORD, ending the darkness] shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire [this word from the mouth of the LORD].
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God [corrupting the minds of men, blinding them to His presence and the time], him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy [uncorrupted by men], which temple you are [when you are holy as He is holy].
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written [in Job 5:13], He takes the wise in their own craftiness [in their own opinions without foundation they show themselves ignorant of this reality before the eyes of the world].
20 And again, The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain [worthless, because they are opinions based on their corrupt foundation, taught by the ignorant] .
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas [all those through which Christ speaks with one voice], or the world [speaking ignorance], or life [from the LORD’s voice], or death [by men’s voice], or [both these] things present, or things to come [when every knee will bow]; all are yours [to give you understanding, making you able to, with good judgment, discern good and evil];
23 And you are Christ’s [who has thereby come to life in you, bringing you to life with Him]; and Christ is God’s [His ONE BODY, the flesh in which He dwells].

Job 5
3 I have seen the foolish [deniers of God and this time] taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 His [the fools who have said there is no God] children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest [the fruit of the ways they’ve cultivated] the hungry eat up, and taketh it even out of the thorns [away from those misleading them], and the robber swallows up their substance.
6 Although [this] affliction come not forth of the dust [from the ruin of the earth], neither does trouble spring [grow by itself] out of the ground; [they, affliction and trouble, are the tribulation that comes when fools are in power, beginning demagogues they end as tyrants;]
7 Yet man is born unto trouble [already sown in the earth], as the sparks fly upward [they are by the fire of God raised out of it].
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
9 Which does great things and unsearchable; marvelous [eye opening] things without number:
10 Who gives rain [His word] upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields [to bring a new crop]:
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn [admitting what fools before them wrought] may be exalted to safety.
12 He disappoints the devices of the crafty [fools thinking themselves wise], so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13 He take the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward [who twist and pervert truth] is carried headlong [into destruction].
14 They meet with darkness [their ignorance, which is falsely called knowledge, is exposed] in the day time [now when light has come], and grope [to find their way] in the noonday [when understanding is fully risen] as in the night.
15 But he saves the poor [those without worldly power] from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not you the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he makes sore, and binds up: he wounds, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver you in six troubles: yea, in seven [in this time of our perfecting] there shall no evil touch you.
20 In famine [when the world is without His word, when men keep it back from those they are destroying by omission, He, as now, speaks] he shall redeem you from death: and in war [I alone fight] from the power of the sword [the words of proud men].

Colossians 4
1 Masters, give unto your servants [doulos – willing subjects bound to us and the LORD, who from Him receive] that which is just and equal; knowing that you also have a Master [KURIOS] in heaven [reigning Supreme with full understanding: marked by His good judgment and equal justice].
2 Continue in prayer [conversing with the LORD, who is King of kings and KURIOS of kurios], and watch [waiting for His good judgment] in the same [things just and equal] with thanksgiving;
3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance [revealing Himself as He speaks His judgment through us], to speak the mystery of Christ [the LORD alive in us], for which I am also in bonds [His willing subject]:
4 That I may make it manifest [His presence], as I ought to speak [as I am bound].
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without [who are exiting confusion, awakening from death’s sleep], redeeming the time [rescuing them from this time when darkness covers the world].
6 Let your speech be always with grace [this gift of God, through which His mercy and salvation comes], seasoned with salt [realized as the taste of good when spoken], that you may know how you ought to answer every man [with the same words you have been given].
7 All my state [as bound to Christ who is alive in me] shall Tychicus [the one who brings this, meeting the LORD, to pass] declare unto you, who is [Timothy] a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellow-servant in the LORD:
8 Whom I [the LORD] have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort [parakaleo – as the Paraclete, lead you into all truth] your hearts [bringing light into your minds];
9 With Onesimus [of the ONE BODY], a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here [now].
10 Aristarchus [all those the LORD has loved, this now awakening generation of God’s people] my fellow-prisoner salute you, and Marcus [those set of the defense of the gospel], sister’s son to Barnabas [the prophesied son], (touching whom you received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
11 And [is] Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh], which is called Justus [His just and equal judgment], who are of the circumcision [whose minds aren’t carnal]. These only are my fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort [led into all truth] unto me.
12 Epaphras [all those the LORD has loved, this now awakening generation of God’s people], who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13 For I bear him record, that he has a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea [among the lukewarm who are without zeal], and them in Hierapolis [who are the holy city, New Heavenly Jerusalem, in who God dwells].
14 Luke [bringing this light], the beloved physician [to bring you health], and Demas [by which you will govern as does the LORD, just and equal], greet you.
15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea [the lukewarm], and Nymphas [as the LORD, to join them into His ONE BODY], and the [ONE] church which is in his house.
16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
17 And say to Archippus [the pure, the white horse upon which the LORD rides into battle], Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the LORD, that you fulfil it.
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.

Below, ending with Psalms 14, are excerpts from the post of 6 – 8 January 2024.

Hebrews 10
5 Wherefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body [through which You will speak] 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; [2 Peter 1: 16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased {HEAR Him}.]
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do your will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second [taking away the sacrifice in which He has no pleasure, because it is superficial, only covering sin, never changing the mind to take it away, and in its place inaugurating the sacrifice that pleases Him, long-suffering to change minds, taking away the corruption by His word, His power, that effectually does the work].
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 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 [from where His power is ministered];
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies [haters] be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified [made holy, cleared of men’s corruption].
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 [making it the foundation of their thought process], 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 [the presence of the Father] by the blood [willing sacrifice] of Jesus [manifesting Jehovah’s Salvation],
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated [inaugurated] for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having a high priest [administrating this dispensation, as His chief overseer] over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled [with the blood of His sacrifice] 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 [speaking His word, in which is the power that effectually works to change the minds of men]:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together [episunagoge – only appearing here and in 2 Thessalonians 2:1 where it’s our “gathering together” to the LORD Jesus Christ, that only comes after the falling way, the word meaning the complete collection, into His ONE BODY], as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day [this light, understanding] 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 [held up for public mocking by those who hate us without cause] 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 goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better [kreitton] and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence [waiting for things fully expected], which has great recompence of reward.
36 For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God [speaking as commanded], 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 [hupostello – fearing, hold back this word], my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back [hupostole] unto perdition [apoleia]; but of them that believe [that this word is the word from the mouth of God] to the saving of the soul.

When Paul, the LORD through (in) him speaking, in 2 Thessalonians 2, tells of the falling away (the apostasy that comes before the LORD appears to gather His people into His ONE BODY) of the wicked, in whom the spirit of Satan works his power to deceive, with lying signs and wonders, are all who now lead God’s people in church and state. Now, as they were already working in Paul’s time, they are those who sit before God’s people, in His place, as if they are Him, to oppose the love of His truth, which is against them, their false teaching, and their positions as lords over God’s people.

As we know, they are the same wicked people, spoken of earlier in 1 Thessalonians 2, as Satan not allowing this word of God to be spoken to those who haven’t heard it as the word of God, as it is. These are the same wicked and unreasonable men spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 3, who aren’t giving this word free course, saying, from them we should pray to be delivered.

1 Thessalonians 2
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children,
12 That you would walk worthy of God [renouncing “the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light {understanding} of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2 Corinthians 4], who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us [exactly as here and now], you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works [as the power changing your minds] also in you that believe.
14 For you, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judah are in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the LORD Jesus [as the false teachers and devils among us have, through their blinding corruption], and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak [this word of God, as received] to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath [the LORD’s vengeance in the same word, as is spoken of in Hebrews 10:30, quoting Deuteronomy 32::35 & 36] is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see [the LORD’s presence manifest in] your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan [the spirit in them working] hindered us.
19 For what is our hope [we wait for and fully expect], or joy [the LORD’s presence realized in you], or crown of rejoicing [when He is realized working and speaking in us]? Are not even you [who’ve received this word of God as His word, as it is] in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For you are our glory [when His presence is in you manifested] and joy [realized by you and those who through you hear and obey Him].

2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together [apeksunogoge – at His complete collection of His people into His ONE BODY] 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 [the time of light, understanding, returned] of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day [full understanding returns] shall not come, except there come a falling away [apostasia – standing away from God and His truth, with those who’ve led there by putting themselves in His place, who now resist and oppose Him] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [the many in the pattern of Reuben, who put himself in his father’s place and lost his birthright];
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 [in His place], 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 down, keeping God’s people from rising] that he might be revealed in his time [all the men putting themselves in God’s place, from then until now, who resist and oppose this true word of God, because it opposes them and their confusion by which they rule].
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets [katecho – hold God people down] will let, until he be taken out of the way [mesos – from among us].
8 And then [when this word of God has free course and is exalted above the corrupt words of men] shall that Wicked be revealed [apokaloupto – the apocalypse], whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of his mouth [these words He is speaking, as a sword of righteousness], and shall destroy with the brightness [full understanding given] of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of [the apostasia – falling away from God and truth, led by the spirit of resistance] Satan with all power [to darken the minds of men] and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that [following them] perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause [choosing to remain in apostacy, followling those siting in God’s place] God shall send them strong delusion [insanity now destroying the old and corrupt world], 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 of the Spirit [cleansing you in these pure waters] and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel [believing He is with us, in us speaking and working], to the obtaining of the glory [the manifested presence] of our LORD Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions [paradosis – transmitted, give as received] 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 [paraklesis – the Paraclete, who is with us always, leading us into all truth] and good hope [of the expected end] through grace [the gift of these treasures],
17 Comfort your hearts [parakaleo – receive the message, this conversation with the LORD, into your minds], and stablish you [by this present truth] in every good word and work.

2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the LORD may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you [received as the word of God, and not of man]:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable [men who can’t be reasoned with] and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But the LORD is faithful, who shall stablish you [in this present truth], and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in the LORD touching you [His word effectually working in you], that you both do and will do [and not just hear] the things which we command you.
5 And the LORD direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly, and not after the tradition [paradosis – transmitted, given] which he received of us.

Hebrews 1
10 And, You, LORD, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:
11 They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels [the messengers He’s sent] said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him [from His flesh He prepared for Himself – His ONE BODY in which He dwells];
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts [these treasures revealed] of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

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 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 treasure 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 73
1 Truly God is good to Israel [the children who receive His promise], even to such as are of a clean heart [a mind whose foundation is not corrupted].
2 But as for me [the children who remain in rebellion, ignorantly refusing His dominion], my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands [they are unrestrained] in their death: but their strength [to mislead the world] is firm.
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride [in their success] compasses them about as a chain [with which they ignorantly bind themselves and those who join them]; violence covers them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily [of how they rule the world].
9 They set their mouth against the heavens [against all understanding], and their tongue walks through the earth [corrupting all discourse].
10 Therefore his people return hither [here to this pure word of God]: and [unpolluted] waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they [ignorantly] say [of this word], How does God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in [worldly] riches.
13 Truly I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued [by the wicked who prosper], and chastened every morning [by the LORD’s correction of the ungodly].
15 If I say, I will speak thus [with the understanding He has given]; behold, I should offend against the generation of your children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God [dwelling in Him]; then understood I their end [‘achariyth – these last days].
18 Surely you did set them in slippery places: you cast them down into destruction.
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awakes; so, O LORD, when you awaken, you shall despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22 So foolish was I [refusing to speak Your word, which is the sudden end of the wicked], and ignorant: I was as a beast before you.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have holden me by my right hand.
24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside you.
26 My flesh and my heart fails: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from you shall perish: you have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the LORD God, that I may [with an obedient mouth] declare all your works.

Psalms 14
1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.
2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that does good, no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6 You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

8 – 12 February 2024

Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:

The LORD continues today, above in Ezekiel 16:35, speaking to His people who’ve now descended into complete confusion (Babylon’s end in insanity’s rule) by first leaving Him and following men teaching their own creations. They, while prospering under him, progressively descended into hedonism, oppression (as Egypt), and communism (as Assyria), wherein they are without peace and security, stripped naked, helplessly exposed to the corrupt foundational elements (rudiments) of the world, now totally debased (church and state institutions, now teaching that the only evil is those rightly judging good and evil, whom they, the wicked, define as haters all should hate – true hate is misleading people and then leaving them there in the hell and self-destruction into which they led) and maliciously debauched, are at war with any remnant of reality and good judgment.

Ezekiel 16
30 How weak is your heart [mind], says the LORD God, seeing you do all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
31 In that you build your eminent place in the head of every way, and make your high place in every street [teaching and propagating weak minds]; and have not been as a harlot, in that you scorn hire [not selling your souls but freely giving them ways into death];
32 But as a wife that commits adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
33 They give gifts to all whores: but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and hire them, that they may come unto you on every side for your whoredom.
34 And the contrary is in you from other women in your whoredoms, whereas none follow you to commit whoredoms: and in that you give a reward, and no reward is given unto you, therefore you are contrary.
35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear [shama’ – obey] the word of the LORD:
36 Thus says the LORD God; Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness discovered through your whoredoms with your lovers, and with all the idols of your abominations, and by the blood of your children, which you did give unto them [into their fires];
37 Behold, therefore I will gather all your lovers [who’ve put themselves in My place, men in whom you put your trust: leaders and teachers you pay to confuse, delude, and mislead you and your children], with whom you have taken pleasure, and all them that you have loved, with all them [known enemies] that you have hated [ignorantly thinking there is a difference between the two groups]; I will even gather them round about against you, and will discover your nakedness unto them, that they may see all your nakedness [now seeing it, experiencing the desolation they’ve wrought, the destroyers and the destroyed feign blindness, denying it’s been revealed, uncovered, upon those who’ve followed them – “the great paradox” of our time: looking to those who’ve led the world here, to, by the same corrupt elements, lead it out. How weak {rejecting the strength of this understanding} is your mind that you refuse to see and find the way out of the darkness?].
38 And I will judge you, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give you blood in fury and jealousy.
39 And I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your eminent place, and shall break down your high places [as they have, in all the institution they infest, debased {demoralized} every part of truth remaining]: they shall strip you also of your clothes, and shall take your fair jewels, and leave you naked and bare.
40 They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones [from whom evil flows, familiar spirits known to be the dead speaking the ways into death], and thrust you through with their swords [their word with which they kill the minds of men].
41 And they shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women [the unfaithful in church and state]: and I will cause you to cease from playing the harlot [stop following and paying those who mislead you, as doctrine and policy], and you also shall give no hire anymore.
42 So will I make my fury toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43 Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense your way upon your head, says the LORD God: and you shall not commit this lewdness above all your abominations.
44 Behold, every one that uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
45 You are your mother’s daughter, that loathed her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite [terrified: feared men and not God], and your father an Amorite [a sayer, exalting their words above God’s].
46 And your elder sister is Samaria [who put idols, abominations, in God’s place and call them by His name], she and her daughters that dwell at your left hand [are now the leftist controlling church and state: communists and demoralizers]: and your younger sister, that dwelleth at your right hand, is Sodom [the debauched and malicious, with corrupt communication, removing God from their knowledge, seeking to be accepted by men] and her daughters.
47 Yet have you not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, you were corrupted more than they in all your ways. [Friends, these institutions, the unrepentant deceivers, and those who choose these men over God’s rescue, will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. It’s a hard thing to accept this reality: that evil is among us at war, smiling at us and urging peace while they finish their destruction of our nation and culture. See the LORD’s warning in Matthew 11 below.]
48 As I live, says the LORD God, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread [prosperity], and abundance of idleness [not working] was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen [giving this understanding: teaching our better culture, exalting God’s ways above all others] the hand of the poor and needy [who were without power and in need].
50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
51 Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters in all your abominations which you have done.
52 You also, which have judged your sisters, bear your own shame for your sins that you have committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than you: yea, be you confounded also, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of your captives in the midst of them:
54 That you mayest bear your own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that you have done, in that you are a comfort unto them.
55 When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters [My people in their fallen state], shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 Before your wickedness was discovered, as at the time of your reproach of the daughters of Syria [the foreign enemies confederate with the domestic enemies in power among us], and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines [the invading army now brought among us], which despise you round about.
58 You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says the LORD.
59 For thus says the LORD God; I will even deal with you as you have done, which have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish unto you an everlasting covenant.
61 Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder and your younger: and I will give them unto you for daughters, but not by your covenant [you’ve made with death, your agreement with hell].
62 And I will establish my [New] covenant with you [writing My law into your minds]; and you shall know that I am the LORD:
63 That you mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I am pacified toward you for all that you have done, says the LORD God [‘Adonay Jehovih – the King of kings and LORD of lords].

Below, in Matthew 11, the LORD speaks the pattern of John the Baptist, the LORD’s ascension (Elijah), calling all to repentance, as the dove (John, Jonah), the sign of the end reached, who the corrupt powers killed (silencing him). As we know, then as now, they beheaded him because he confronted them for having his (Herod’s) brother’s wife, the sisters (in-law) mentioned above.

Matthew 11
11 Truly I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least [without reputation, without status] in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. [Philippians 2: 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.]
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And if you will receive it, this is Elijah, which was for to come.
15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped unto you [sounding, saying I should bow to the image they’ve created], and you have not danced; we have mourned unto you [saying they repent while keeping the same corruption], and you have not lamented [all, by their opinions, delusions they’ve created, saying I should be doing what they have been taught I should].
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking [not accepting your corrupt ideas and ways], and they say, He has a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 Woe unto you, Chorazin [in the smoking furnace]! woe unto you, Bethsaida [the house of the fish – the houses that are the whale’s belly]! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 And you, Capernaum [to whom the Comforter has come, speaking and working unknown in their ignorance], which [to men whose words] are exalted unto heaven [saying you have your own understanding, your covenant with death, your agreement with hell], shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden [by the words of evil men], 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].

Philippians 2
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name [Timothy – meaning highest esteem of God] which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh of His perpetual son He declares, saying all should “hear him”] every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out [finish] your own salvation with fear and trembling [obeying].
13 For it is God which works [by His word] in you, both to will [to produce your willing obedience] and to do of his good pleasure [giving free course to His word, when it is perfected: received as His].
14 Do all things without murmuring and disputing:
15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God [by His correction], without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights [giving His understanding] in the world; [Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 2 For, behold, the darkness {ignorance} shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.]
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy [when you realize the LORD is alive in me bringing you with me from death into life], and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause also do you joy, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the LORD Jesus to send Timotheus [time {highest esteem} of God] shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.

The Greek word time means “a value, i.e. money paid, or (concretely and collectively) valuables; by analogy, esteem (especially of the highest degree), or the dignity itself:– honor, precious, price, some.”

The word above in Ezekiel 16:39, rendered “jewels,” is kliy, meaning “from 3615 [kalah – to end, finish]; something prepared, i.e. any apparatus (as an implement, utensil, dress, vessel or weapon).”

Daniel 12
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 sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time [mow’ed – the appointed time, when God’s people are scattered], times [mow’ed – the appointed time when the congregation is gathered], and a half [chetsiy – when this word is split open again and rightly divided]; and when he shall have accomplished [kalah] to scatter the power of the holy people [as they are now scattered and thereby have no power], all these things shall be finished [kalah – the end].
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my LORD, what shall be the end [‘achariyth – these last days] of these things?
9 And he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end [qets – full end].
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

In the word kliy, the LORD leads to its use in 1 Chronicles 10, where it speaks of régime change, when the king (Saul), because he sought and followed the advice of familiar spirit, was removed and David came to power.

1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines [the invading army among us] fought against Israel [God’s people]; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and [without the power to resist] fell down slain in mount Gilboa [swelled with pride and become unreasonable].
2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul [who the people desired], and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan [those to whom this word is given], and Abinadab [the brethren], and Malchishua [but their king is wealth], the sons of Saul.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
4 Then said Saul to his armourbearer [kliy], Draw your sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer [kliy] would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword [his own words], and fell upon it.
5 And when his armourbearer [kliy – the vessels in who these weapon of war should be kept] saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword [their own word, adding corruption, not keeping this word] and died.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
7 And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled [their power gone and all are scattered], and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armor [kliy – these treasures], and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.
10 And they put his armor [kliy – these treasure] in the house of their gods [see Danile 1], and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon [the fish, the whale that swallowed Jonah].
11 And when all Jabeshgilead [the dry places where this word hasn’t been heard] heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 They arose [from death’s sleep], all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh [the dry places], and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days [abstaining from the word that led to this destruction, the advice of the known dead].
13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;
14 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

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 [descended into oppression], and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh [evil leading], and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh [those in power who haven’t known me] be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your [debilitating] confusion.

Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim [who the LORD raised into power] king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon [false prophets and false teachers whose creation have ruled the world into confusion now turned mass delusion] to Jerusalem [the LORD’s teaching the ways of sustainable peace and security: reciprocal respect for life, liberty, and property], and besieged it.
2 And [‘Adonay] the LORD gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels [kliy] of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar [deep sleep] to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels [kliy – these treasures, weapons of war] into the treasure [‘owtsar – armory, there stored in ignorance] house of his god [where idols, as Dagon, were put in God’s place and called by His name, swallowing the world into death and hell].

Proverbs 20
12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD has made even both of them.
13 Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.
14 It is naught, it is naught, says the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel [kliy].
16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

Friends and enemies, understand the word kliy speaks as weapons of war, if God’s, tressure with which He fills His vessels He into the battle. This is God’s love (agape – charity) manifested, sent to convert (change – metamorphoo) any that receive them as Him coming to rescue us from the consequences of our acts of ignorance, after which none can say they haven’t heard the gospel.

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

Paul, the LORD in him, speaks of the above (instrument, weapons) descriptively twice in 1 Corinthians (using the word agape, meaning “love, i.e. affection or benevolence; specially (plural) a love-feast”) before using it nine times (all rendered “charity”) in chapter 13. Before seeing these, we must examine its (agape’s) first and second uses (its only uses) in Matthew and Luke, and several others, which together give us a complete understanding that THIS WORD must be received and elevated as the WORD OF GOD (His consuming fire from His mouth), as it is.

Matthew 24
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives [delivering the healing oil from the Most High], the disciples [students] came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world [the old and corrupt age, beginning the new, wherein dwells righteousness]?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ [saying they are anointed with the oil from the Most High]; and shall deceive many.
6 And you shall hear of wars and rumors [akoe – the LORD’s fame, as you have heard this report from His mouth, revealing His arm to those who haven’t believed this is a war] of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom [of darkness] against kingdom [of light]: and there shall be famines [not hearing the word of God], and pestilences [dis-ease resulting from following men who put themselves in God’s place], and earthquakes [shaking the wicked from these seats of power], in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake [as it is this day].
10 And then shall many be offended [by this true word of God], and shall betray one another [as they did the LORD], and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive [mislead into mass insanity] many.
12 And because iniquity [the words of misleaders] shall abound, the love [agape – giving the true word of God] of many shall wax cold [and be without His holy fire].
13 But he that shall endure [keeping His word from corruptors and corruption] unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And [the end comes when] THIS gospel of the kingdom [come] shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end [of the world of darkness] come.

Luke 11
40 You fools, did not he that made that [flesh] which is without make that [mind] which is within also?
41 But rather give alms [your offering of charity to God] of such things as you have [in your mind, so the world will see and judge who has made you]; and, behold, all things are clean unto you [from whom I have removed men’s corruption].
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees [you religious hypocrites, teachers of falsehood, which you most adamantly deny, who’ve scattered my people and hold them as dead men in your tombs]! for you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over [offering] judgment and the love [agape – giving THIS WORD] of God: these ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for you love [agapao – give your own words, to keep] the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, [religious] hypocrites! for you are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them [that your words are death, and hold men in hell: Sheol, the habitation of the dead].

John 17
1 These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven [seeing with full understanding, elevating Your word in my mind above all others], and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you:
2 As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in my flesh], whom you have sent.
4 I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was.
6 I have manifested your name [Your identity in me] unto the men which you gave me [to lift up their eyes and minds into heaven] out of the [old and corrupt] world [of darkness]: yours they were, and you gave them me; and they have kept [from corruption] your word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever you have given me are of you.
8 For I have given unto them the words which you gave me; and they have received them [as Your word], and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you did send me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the [old and corrupt] world, but for them which you have given me [into Your kingdom in this new world, wherein dwells righteousness]; for they are Yours.
10 And all mine are Yours, and Yours are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the [old and corrupt] world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me, that they may be one [BODY], as we are.
12 While I was with them in the [the old and corrupt] world, I kept them [from corruption] in your name: those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition [who put themselves in Your place, teaching and preaching their abomination in Your name]; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them your word; and the [old and corrupt] world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that you shouldest take them out of the world, but that you shouldest keep them from the evil [who’ve misled them].
16 They are not of the [old and corrupt] world, even as I am not of the [old and corrupt] world.
17 Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.
18 As you have sent me [to give Your word as received] into the [old and corrupt] world, even so have I also sent them [to give Your word as received, to preach and teach THIS true Gospel of Your kingdom come] into the [old and corrupt] world [it ends].
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. [Hebrews 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one {BODY}: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 Saying, I will declare your name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto you. 13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me. Isaiah 8 continues, saying “are for signs and for wonders in Israel {to the people of the Father’s promise} from the LORD of hosts {a man of war}, which dwells in mount Zion {on His throne in His kingdom}. 19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits {the known dead speaking words of death}, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? {they should stop looking} for the living to the dead? 20 {And look} To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light {understanding} in them.]
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one [BODY]; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the [old and corrupt] world may believe that you have sent me.
22 And the glory [Your presence revealed in Your Word] which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one [BODY], even as we are one [BODY]:
23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect [teleioo – completed, in the end] in one [BODY]; and that the [old and corrupt] world may know that you have sent me, and have loved [agapao – given Your word to] them, as you have loved [agapao – given Your word to] me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am [in this new world, wherein dwells Your righteousness]; that they may behold my glory [Your presence manifested in me], which you have given me: for you loved [agapao – Your word You gave] me before the foundation of the [old and new] world.
25 O righteous Father, the [old and corrupt] world has not known you [here speaking and working veiled in my flesh]: but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them your name [Your identity in me], and will declare it: that the love [agape – final use in the Gospels, Your word You’ve given me] wherewith you have loved [agapao] me may be in them, and I in them.

1 Corinthians 4
8 Now you are full, now you are rich, you have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9 For I think that God has set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the [old and corrupt] world, and to angels [messengers unaware they’ve left their first estate: which is speaking His word as received], and to men.
10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honorable, but we are despised.
11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;
12 And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the [old and corrupt] world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ [false prophets and false teachers who’ve come in His name], yet have you not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus [the Father alive in me, come to save His people from corruption] I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Wherefore I beseech you, be you followers of me.
17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus [who is, I Am, the Paraclete] who is my beloved son, and faithful in the LORD, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church. [John 14:26 But the Comforter {the Paraclete}, which is the Holy Ghost {the LORD working and speaking unknown, veiled in the flesh}, whom the Father will send in my name {Jesus – Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh}, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.]
18 Now some are puffed up [with pride in what they think they know about His coming], as though I would not come to you.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the LORD will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up [with pride], but the power [in this true word of God].
20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21 What will you? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love [agape – this word of God received as His], and in the spirit of meekness [not using His power for destruction, but to build up those who receive it as His word]?

1 Corinthians 8
1 Now as touching things offered unto idols [the creations, abominations, of men who put themselves in the LORD’s place], we know that we all have knowledge [of these creations]. Knowledge puffs up [men with pride in the thing they think they know], but charity [agape – giving the true word of God as received] edifies [builds up, upon the foundation laid by Christ, the son of the LORD’s choosing, in whom He manifests His presence, by water and blood].
2 And if any man think that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
3 But if any man love [agapao – gives as received the word of] God, the same is known of him.
4 As concerning therefore the eating [consuming what the “know-nothings” offer] of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols [the creations of men who make themselves gods and lords], we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 But to us [who know Him] there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things [the Origin of all we know], and we in him [live]; and one LORD Jesus Christ, by whom are all things [given as received from the Origin], and we by him [brought to the light: life].
7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience [mind created] of the idol unto this hour eat [consume] it as a thing offered unto an idol [knowing they are men’s creations and have no power to save anything, which is evident in the world now totally corrupt and without truth: without form, and void, covered in darkness, without comprehension of God with us]; and their conscience being weak is defiled [their weak minds are corrupted].

Friends, receiving this word of God as His word is receiving the LORD, being in His presence at His coming.

1 Thessalonians 2
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted [in the power of the Paraclete] and charged every one of you, as a father does his children,
12 That you would walk worthy of God, who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also [bringing Him to life] in you that believe.

19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For you are our glory and joy.

John 1
1 In the beginning [before the foundation of the world was laid] was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light [understanding] of men.
5 And the light shineth [understanding given by His word] in darkness [ignorance of God]; and the darkness [the ignorant] comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John [the dove, the sign of the end reached].
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light [giving it as received], that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light [not the origin of the understanding], but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the [new] world.
10 He was in the [old and corrupt] world, and the [old and corrupt] world was made by him, and the [old and corrupt] world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become 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 [when you realize the Father veiled as His word in the flesh]: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ [the Father’s salvation manifested in the flesh of those He chooses].
18 No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.

1 Corinthians 13
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity [agape – giving this word of God as received], I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity [agape – giving this word of God as received], I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity [agape – giving this word of God as received], it profits me nothing.
4 Charity [agape – giving this word of God as received] suffers long, and is kind; charity [agape – giving this word of God as received] envies not; charity [agape – giving this word of God as received] vaunts not itself, is not puffed up [with pride in self],
5 Does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not his own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;
6 Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
7 Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Charity [agape – giving this word of God as received] never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues [the word of God spoken without understanding], they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect [first] comes, then that which is in part shall be done away. [Why do you yet doubt these things are occurring before your eyes?].
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly [ignorantly]; but then face to face [realizing His presence with us and in us removing corruption]: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I Am known.
13 And now abides faith, hope, charity [agape – giving this word of God as received], these three; but the greatest of these is charity [agape – giving this word of God as received].

The word kliy only appears one other time in Proverbs and only three times in the Psalms, all below.

Psalms 31
1 In you, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Bow down your ear to me; deliver me speedily: be you my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me.
3 For you are my rock and my fortress; therefore for your name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for you are my strength.
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit [according to Luke 23:46, the LORD Jesus’ last words, before he left his flesh body]: you have redeemed me [by your power brought from death into life], O LORD God of truth.
6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy: for you have considered my trouble; you have known my soul in adversities;
8 And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you have set my feet in a large room.
9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life [in My ONE BODY] is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11 I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a fear to my acquaintance: they that did see me without [in the flesh] fled from me [because of the corruption that blinded them].
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel [kliy – weapon].
13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to [again] take away my life.
14 But I trusted in you, O LORD: I said, You are my God.
15 My times are in your hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16 Make your face [paniym – Your presence] to shine upon [giving Your understanding to] your servant: save me for your mercies’ sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon you: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave [sheol – in the hell they’ve dug].
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up [tsaphan – reserve in your armory] for them that fear you; which you have wrought for them that trust in you before the sons of men!
20 You shall hide them in the secret of your presence [paniym] from the pride of man: you shall keep them secretly [tsaphan] in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD: for he has shown me his marvelous kindness in a strong city.
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes: nevertheless you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried unto you.
23 O love the LORD, all you his saints: for the LORD preserves the faithful, and plentifully rewards the proud doer.
24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart [minds], all you that hope in the LORD.

Proverbs 25
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.
3 The heaven for height [from where it is revealed], and the earth for depth [where it is secret in plain sight], and the heart of kings is unsearchable [only revealed by God in crowning him by His power].
4 Take away the dross from the silver [corruption from my treasures], and there shall come forth a vessel [kliy] for [revealing] the finer.
5 Take away the wicked [who corrupt truth and spew their evil creation] from before the king, and his throne [and crown] shall be established in righteousness.

Psalms 7
1 O LORD my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy:)
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.
6 Arise, O LORD, in your anger, lift up yourself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded.
7 So shall the congregation of the people compass you about: for their sakes therefore return you on high.
8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God tries the hearts and reins.
10 My defense is of God, which saves the upright in heart.
11 God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 He has also prepared for him the instruments [kliy – weapons] of death; he ordained his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Behold, he [the wicked] travailed with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon the crown of his head [qodqod].
17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

Psalms 71
1 In you, O LORD, do I [Timothy] put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline your ear unto me, and save me.
3 Be you my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: you have given commandment to save me; for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For you are my hope, O LORD God: you are my trust from my youth.
6 By you have I been holden up from the womb: you are he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of you.
7 I am as a wonder unto many [who don’t understand they are experiencing Your presence]; but you are my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honor all the day.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
10 For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Saying, God has forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise you more and more.
15 My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
16 I will go in the strength of the LORD God: I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours only.
17 O God, you have taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared your wondrous works.
18 Now also when I am old and grey-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shown your strength unto this generation, and your power to every one that is to come.
19 Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who have done great things: O God, who is like unto you!
20 You, which have shown me great and sore troubles, shall quicken me again, and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 I will also praise you with the psaltery [kliy – with the weapons, words of Your warfare], even your truth, O my God: unto you will I sing with the harp [repeating Your words, striking the enemy as its strings], O you Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto you [with open mouth ending the age of darkness]; and my soul, which you have redeemed [brought to life again].
24 My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

4 – 6 February 2024

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore, also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.

And the LORD continues in the above, from Luke 1:35, as His messenger speaks of the Holy Ghost (Him unknown), foretelling the birth of the ONE BODY of Christ, children of God by His correction, born again from what was before dead flesh.

The “power” mentioned, using the word dunamis, is the word of God, heard from His messengers, effectually working in those receiving it as His, which quickens their minds (from death into life).

2 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God [theos] our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ: [those spoken to here are living in Thessalonica, here meaning in this time of God’s {Thes, like theus in the name Timo-theus} shaking heaven and earth in His victory over death and hell {from the words salos, meaning a vibration or wave, and nike, meaning victory – see the victory, overcoming the world, spoken of below in 1 John 5}]
2 Grace unto you [who hear His voice], and peace, from God our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ.
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith grows exceedingly, and the charity [agape, the love of God manifested in His and our freely giving His word as receive, which this dead world needs] of every one of you all toward each other abounds;
4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations [thlipsis] that you endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense [antapodidomi] tribulation [thlipsis] to them that trouble [thlibo] you; [Hebrews 10:29 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 {antapodidomi – repay good to those doing good and evil upon those doing evil}, 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.]
7 And to you who are troubled [thlibo] rest with us, when the LORD Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels [His messengers speaking His word],
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the LORD, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power [dunamis – giving His work that quickens the dead to life]:
12 That the name [identity] of our LORD Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the LORD Jesus Christ.

1 John 5
1 Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born [gennao] of God [brought from death to life again in Him by the effectual power of His word given]: and every one that loves [agapao – by His word given] him that begat [gennao – born again by the power in His word] loves [agapao – freely gives His word as received to] him also that is begotten [gennao – born again] of him.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born [gennao] of God overcomes [nikao] the world: and this is the victory [nike – the only time the word appears] that overcomes [nikao] the world, even our faith [by which we see Him who is unseen by the world].
5 Who is he that overcomes [nikao] the world, but he that believes that Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation veiled in the flesh, appearing to the sight of the now healed blind] is the Son [begotten] of God?
6 This is he that came by water and blood [the word and His sacrifice in the flesh He prepared for Himself], even Jesus Christ; not by water [the word] only, but by water [the word] and blood [and His sacrifice to deliver it as received, declaring it is the Father alive in Him doing the work and speaking]. And it is the Spirit [the Father unknown alive in His flesh] that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth [the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, is the Father working and speaking, unknown, from the flesh of His children].
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven [giving full understanding], the Father [who is ONE GOD], the Word [which He sends with understanding], and the Holy Ghost [His working and speaking, unknown, to reveal Himself to those diligently seeking Him and keeping His word from corruption]: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit [working and speaking unknown], and the water [His word given], and the blood [His sacrifice in the son, children, through whom He manifests His presence]: and these three agree in one.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God [working from heaven and on the earth] is greater: for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his Son [in whom He manifests His presence].
10 He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself: he that believes not God has made him a liar; because he believes not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name [identity] of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name [identity] of the Son of God.
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16 If any man sees his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life [light that is understanding] for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death [rejection of the LORD unknow working His correction in us]: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. [Romains 6:16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are [marked] to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?]
18 We know that whosoever is born [gennao] of God [by His correction] sins not; but he that is begotten [gennao] of God keeps [guards] himself [from the corrupt devils among us as death’s devourers], and that wicked one touches him not.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole [now wholly corrupt] world lies in wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 Little children [in whom I have begotten Christ], keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

The word used while illuminating the power (dumamis) from the Most High, that will (now does) “overshadow” the church (Mary – the rebellious who refused to obey, who haven’t had a man to lead them), is the five times used Greek word episkiazo, meaning “to cast a shade upon, i.e. (by analogy) to envelop in a haze of brilliancy; figuratively, to invest with preternatural influence.”

Three of the other times the word (episkiazo) appears are in (Matthew 17:5, Mark 9:7, and Luke 9:34) telling of the cloud (where understanding is in its separated elements held) that “overshadowed” the LORD, Peter, James, and John. This event is the LORD’s transfiguration, when Moses and Elijah appeared (the deep meaning in law and the prophets revealed), from which the Father’s voice declares His son, and calls the disciples (students) to hear him.

Matthew 17
1 And after six days [on the sabbath] Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun [His identity is in giving understanding to the church], and his raiment was white as the light [which is the life of the world].
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses [the law] and Elijah [and the prophets] talking [through the written word sent forward as a wheel within a wheel, understanding sent to give understanding, in the conversation at the Father’s mercy seat] with him.
4 Then answered Peter [not yet understanding there is only ONE united House], and said unto Jesus, LORD, it is good for us to be here: if you will, let us make here three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
5 While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed [episkiazo] them: and behold a voice out of the cloud [as thunderstanding, the sound of the light], which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear you him.
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation, that was before veiled in the flesh] only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah [the ascension of Jehovah who is the power of God in the flesh] must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things [as the LORD has, resetting the foundations of the earth, all which were out of course and remain so in the places where ignorance rules].
12 But I say unto you, That Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed [according to their own will, not hearing His voice from the cloud]. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

Malachi 3
1 Behold, I will send my messenger [mal’ak – My archangel], and he shall prepare the way before me [paniym – for my presence to be revealed]: and the LORD, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger [mal’ak] of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD of hosts [a man of war].
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi [the priesthood], and [from corruption] purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

Malachi 4
1 For, behold, the day comes, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that comes shall burn them up, says the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name [my identity] shall the Sun [this understanding that brings the new day and unites the Church in ONE BODY] of righteousness arise with healing [marpe’ – the cure for death] in his wings [the strength with which we rise into heaven]; and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, says the LORD of hosts.
4 Remember you the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb [when I untaught you the ways of oppression] for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Malachi 3
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers [using words as spells to control mind they’ve deluded], and against the adulterers [who’ve left God to follow men who’ve put themselves in His place], and against false swearers [using lies as policy by which they rule], and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages [stealing through taxation, redistribution with which they buy the souls of dead men], the widow, and the fatherless, [both having no man to protect and defend them against the evil powers] and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, the LORD of hosts.
6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed [by My fire].
7 Even from the days of your fathers you are gone away from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says the LORD of hosts. But you said, Wherein shall we return?
8 Will a man rob God? Yet you [den of thieves] have robbed me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings [of your churches and taxes of your civil governments, by which you rob My people].
9 You are cursed with a curse: for you have robbed me, even this whole nation.

Revelation 3
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
16 So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.
17 Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye-salve, that you may see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcomes [nikao] will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame [nikao], and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.

Malachi 3
10 Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse [this place where my treasures are found], that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, says the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a delightsome land, says the LORD of hosts.
13 Your words have been stout against me, says the LORD. Yet you say, What have we spoken so much against you?
14 You have said, It is vain to serve [the living] God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up [in My place]; yea, they that tempt [doubt and deny the presence of] God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often [this word from His mouth] one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name [His manifested indentity].
17 And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.
18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked [good and evil leading, and choose the good and refuse evil], between him that serves God and him that serves him not.

The word, above in Matthew 17:2, rendered “transfigured,” is the four times used word metamorphoo, meaning “to transform (literally or figuratively, “metamorphose”):–change, transfigure, transform.” It’s the word also used by Mark, rendered the same, telling of the same event. Luke, in Luke 9:29, instead uses the words “the fashion of his countenance was altered,” from the Greek words eidos [a view: form seen] prosopon [“the front (as being towards view), i.e. the countenance, aspect, appearance, surface; by implication, presence, person”] heteros [“(an-, the) other or different”]. It (metamorphoo) speaks of transfiguration as a matter of insight, in the mind of the observer, a changing view of what is seen (seeing the unseen and eternal).

In the other two uses of the word metamorphoo, in Romans 12:2 and 2 Corinthians 3:18, we are told how this change of view occurs and that it’s the glory of the Father revealed in the flesh.

Romans 12
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God [doing this work for which He has prepared us], which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to [the pattern of] this [corrupt] world: but be you transformed [metamorphoo] by the renewing of your mind, that [when the LORD’s glory is thereby revealed in you, you] may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace [these gifts] given unto me [for this dispensation], to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly [elevating themselves] than he ought to think [claiming gifts and positions not given by the Father]; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering [not giving until the Father gives it]: or he that teaches, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love [agape – the things you give] be without dissimulation [anupokritos – presuming under your own power: opinions, fabrications, and presumptions originating in those claiming positions not given by the LORD, and in pride becoming unreasonable: unwilling to change]. Abhor that which is evil [which is leading with dissimulation]; cleave [kallao – the origin of the word rendered eye “salve” in Revelation 3:18 above, speaking of what heals blinded eyes, meaning it is what binds you] to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love [philadelphia]; in honor [time] preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the LORD;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written [in Deuteronomy 32:35], Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the LORD.
20 Therefore if your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head. [quoted from Proverbs 25:21 If your enemy be hungry, give him bread {this full body of work, meant to be dispensed to the world in need} to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him {this life giving} water to drink: 22 For you shall heap coals of fire upon his head {burning out the corruption therein}, and the LORD shall reward you.]
21 Be not overcome [nikao] of evil, but overcome [nikao] evil with good.

The word rendered “conformed,” speaking of (not to) the world, is here later described as overcome by evil (overcome evil with good is thereby seen as our transformation, the LORD in us working to destroy the works of devils), is the twice used word sunchematizo, meaning “to fashion alike, i.e. conform to the same pattern (figuratively):–conform to, fashion self according to.” Its only other appearance descriptively comes in 1 Peter 1:14.

1 Peter 1
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification [our separation from corruption into doing His work] of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood [of the sacrifice] of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again [into life with Him] unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are [by His foreknowledge] kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time [understanding this time perfectly before].
6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations [increasing corruption and deception of world tempting you to doubt the LORD’s presence and this Day of the LORD]:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing [back into sight] of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the [expected] end of your faith [Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever], even the salvation of your souls.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it [He] testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us [now in these last days of darkness] they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into [God having provided this better thing for us, that they without us would not be perfected: not fully understood until now].
13 Wherefore gird up the loins [prepare yourselves with these provisions] of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be [is now] brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves [sunchematizo] according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which has called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation [without the corruption of dissimulation: speaking with the LORD at His mercy seat, and then obeying, giving as received, which end is revealing Jesus Christ in us, the same yesterday, today, and forever];
16 Because it is written, Be you holy [without corruption]; for I am holy [without corruption].
17 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here [in the earth] in fear:
18 Forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain [worthless and corrupted] conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who truly [by the foreknowledge of God the Father] was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest [in the flesh] in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned [anupokritos – without dissimulation] love of the brethren [philadelphia], see that you love [agapao – freely give the word as received, boldly declaring it is from the mouth of God] one another with a pure heart [uncorrupted mind] fervently:
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever [only hidden from sight by the blinding corruption taught by the gods of this world, men who put themselves in the Father’s place].
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory [corrupt understanding grown from the earth] of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower thereof [the proud] falls away:
25 But the word of the LORD endures forever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

The following, ending with Philippians 3, begins the Post of 22 December 2022, with today’s additions in double brackets.

19 – 22 December 2022

And [all the diseased masses] besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

The above, Matthew 14:36, is referring to “all” the “diseased” spoken of in the previous verse (35), from the Greek words pas, meaning “all, any, every, the whole,” and enchidna, meaning “to hold (used in very various applications, literally or figuratively, direct or remote; such as possession; ability, continuity, relation, or condition).” The latter word (enchidna) speaks of the “possession” of “all,” by the spirit of error (misleading counsel) in those to whom they’ve attached themselves.

The words “touch” and “touched” are rendered from the Greek word haptomai, meaning “to attach oneself to, i.e. to touch (in many implied relations).” It is from the four times used word hapto, meaning “to fasten to, i.e. (specially) to set on fire:–kindle, light.”

The word rendered “perfectly whole,” the result of attaching one’s mind to the LORD’s, following His good advice, is the eight times used word diasoza, meaning “to save thoroughly, i.e. (by implication or analogy) to cure, preserve, rescue, etc.” It’s from dia, a prefix denoting the channel through which comes the soza, meaning “to save, i.e., deliver or protect.”

The “hem” that is touched (joined to) is the five times used word kraspedon, meaning “of uncertain derivation; a margin, i.e. (specially), a fringe or tassel:–border, hem.” It is speaking of a border as a limit, an extremity reached. It is from the words krazo, meaning to cry or call out [asking for], and pedinos, meaning to walk with ease on level ground.

The deep meaning in the border is realized at the LORD’s coming into Jerusalem, when the people acknowledge Him and lay down (leveling by their himation) “garments” on the same ground upon which those (His elect remnant) carrying Him, with ease, walk.

His are the same (righteous) garments parted (by the occupying forces of Rome – Babylon) at the crucifixion, also described by John in Revelation 19:13 & 16, upon which His name (identity pressed into the earth) is written, that (Word of God) only He (LORD of lords and King of kings) knows.

Revelation 19
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 treadeth 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.

Job 38
12 Have you commanded the morning since your days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It [shaking the wicked from it] is turned as clay to the seal [chowtham – His signature, identity pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment [lbuwsh – the “vesture” of Psalms 22:18, foretelling the parting of His “garment” (himation) documented in the Gospels].
15 And from the wicked their light [understanding] is withheld, and the high arm [the power of those swelled with pride in their evil] shall be broken.
16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea [these waters that bring life to the world]? or have you walked in the search of the depth [hidden below its surface, in darkness by chosen ignorance of what is known]?
17 Have the gates of death been opened unto you [by coming from the darkness: the deliberate confusion broadcast from every place of power]? or have you seen the doors [the mouths of the intentionally wicked] of the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth [the now end of the old totally corrupt and the new beginning wherein dwells righteousness] of the earth? declare if you know it all.
19 Where is the way where light [understanding] dwells [with the righteous]? and as for darkness [ignorance as policy], where is the place thereof [with the wicked in power, whose mouths are always, with every word, spewing lies and contradicting reality – and we must realize, there is no good faith discussion in them: everything they speak, literally all their words are deception and evil manipulations]?
20 That you shouldest take it to the bound [gbuwl – the borders: the marked extremity or limit] thereof, and that you shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

The “paths,” the well known ways into and out of the houses of righteousness and wickedness, is the Hebrew word nathiyb, “meaning to tramp; a (beaten) track:–path((-way)), X travel(-ler), way.”

Friends, suffer me for a moment as I again state the obvious (at least to living whose minds show signs of life: critical analysis of data: experienced reality): every word spoken by those in power, from every current institution, is relativistic, justified only by the new standard of the wicked, the reversal of good and evil, their elimination of the necessity for truth in communication. Any message that alters or censors truth is, by definition, deception, and it (fraud) is the intended goal of those now in power, controlling all the completely corrupt institutions. There is no reforming them. There is no hope for us in them. They are the destroyers of the world and humanity, and they take pleasure in doing so. They must be confronted as such: given no authority, confidence, or pretext of truth behind which they can hide. We know, and they know we know. We must continually remind them we know. They are known liars telling known lies, and they don’t care that we know (because no one does anything about it, and most politicians go along with the premise of their fraud: that they are acting in “good faith”). But their ignorance (ignoring the present truth) of our revealing them shouldn’t stop us from uncovering them as they expose themselves without shame to the world. They should be ashamed! (Did you see the statement from the Whitehouse Press Secretary a few days ago? That, no matter what the reports say, the southern border is closed – how dare you believe your lying eyes? At the same time, even the fake news media (though with an agenda to push more here to overwhelm the system into collapse) is reporting the masses flooding over it (the border). Is the Whitehouse lying, or is its mouthpiece media (I think they want to have it both ways, not caring because no one will do anything about it)? No matter – we, the nation, and the world are screwed until they, the wicked in power, are shamed into silence. They and their defenders are a laughingstock! Speaking of laughingstocks – there’s also the J6 HOAX, Zelensky, and the entirety of our Legislative & Executive branches of government.

Jeremiah 6
10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised [only hearing the advice of men, dead flesh, without the LORD’s Spirit], and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men [the ill advisers] together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken [the wicked counselors and those joined with them], the aged with him that is full of days.
12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, says the LORD.
13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest everyone deals falsely.
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace [and the enemies mixed among them are at war with them, even their prophets and priests].
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination [putting their wickedness in place of My holiness]? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them [paqad – come as the Chief Overseer to put the elements back in good order] they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
16 Thus says the LORD, Stand you in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths [nathiyb], where is the good way, and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
17 Also I set watchmen [tsaphah – showing you what was coming and has now come] over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet [calling to you to gather in ONE BODY to the LORD alone, who is our offense and defense in this war]. But they said, We will not hearken.
18 Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people [wicked people who’ve refused to hear My good advice], even the fruit of their [evil] thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

For many years, the LORD has warned of the exponential degeneration that would progress as long as His people continued following those they are. We have often discussed this as “the great paradox” of our time: thinking those you’re following, leaders in church and state, are “good men” who wouldn’t mislead you. The truth is they are ignorant of their own ignorance because it’s what they’ve learned, for which (glorying in their good works) they commend each other, while around us the world burns. They are the destroyers of knowledge and understanding, refusing to hear the voice of Jehovah giving His good (life-giving) advice. “If they speak not according to this word it’s because there is no light, no understanding, in them.”

2 Corinthians 11
12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we [as men in whom a spirit is speaking and working, Christ in us and Satan in them].
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

1 Corinthians 3
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day [this light coming] shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work abides which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [Malachi 3: and the LORD, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple {to His people}, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD of hosts. 2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:]
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If any man [teaches things that] defiles the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world [with its corrupt foundations it’s been taught], let him become a fool, that he may [be able to learn to] be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain [worthless].

Philippians 3
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an example.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ [this sacrifice in the flesh that brings salvation, this life-giving word of God, to the world in need of it]:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious [ONE] body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

2 Corinthians 3
12 Seeing then that we have such hope [of the glory that will continue], we use great plainness of speech [declaring it, God’s glory, is the LORD alive in us speaking the salvation of the world and by fire working out the corrupt]:
13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face [hiding the LORD’s presence in him], that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that [the veil of flesh] which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ [the LORD revealing himself in the flesh He’s prepared for Himself, by working out the corruption thereof].
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn [from following corruption] to the LORD, the vail shall be taken away [and we shall see him as He is]. [1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.]
17 Now the LORD is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty.
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the LORD, are changed [metamorphoo – seeing ourselves when we see His presence in us] into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.

2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry [this dispensation in us], as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things [of corruption] of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God [who sees all].
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the gods of this world have blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image [seen] of God, should shine [understanding] unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light [this understanding] to shine out of darkness [the ignorance of the earth become without form, and void], has shined in our hearts [minds], to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face [presence] of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure [this understanding revealed] in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power [dunamis] may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying [the sacrifice of our flesh] of the LORD Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest [showing His glory] in our body.
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken [speaking His word as commanded, as received]; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 Knowing that he which raised up the LORD Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God [revealed in you].
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

1 John 3
1 Behold [see, now that the corruption is removed], what manner of love [agape – giving us these gifts] the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should [by His correction] be called the sons of God: therefore, the world knows us not, because it knew him not [as He’s worked and spoken among us, unknown, shepherding us to this time of perfection by His correction]
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear [again to our sight], we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself [of corruption], even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And you know that he was manifested to [by correction] take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins has not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that commits sin is [corrupted] of the devil; for the devil sins [misleading into death and hell] from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his [good] seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves [agapao] not [giving the understanding as received] his brother [who needs it, as does all the world lying dead in corruption].
11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love [agapao] one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hates you.
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loves [agapao] not his brother [doesn’t give this word to those in need] abides in death.
15 Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer [leaving them in death without this word]: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love [agape] of God, because he laid down his life for us [to give us the word of God, declaring it is from His mouth, by which man lives]: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso has this world’s good [this understanding the word needs], and sees his brother has need, and shut up his bowels [keeping this gift inside himself, and not giving as the LORD commands] of compassion from him, how dwells the love [agapo] of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love [agapao] in word [deceived into thinking that by fulfilling the letter of the law, we fulfill its Spirit], neither in tongue [words without understanding]; but in deed [our sacrifice of ourselves] and in truth [of which the world is void].
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts [mind] before him [thereby revealing His presence in us].
20 For if our heart [not showing His light] condemn us, God is greater than our heart [our minds], and knows all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart [our minds one with His] condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God [knowing Him, without timidity of the flesh, in truth speaking His word].

Psalms 73
1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength [their trust in corruption] is firm.
5 They [hiding in their positions in the world] are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain; violence [of their falsehoods] covers them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens [this understanding revealed], and their tongue walk through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13 Truly I [those thinking they are upright] have cleansed my heart in vain [as a swept house wherein dwell evil spirits], and washed my hands in innocence [of the murders].
14 For all the day long have I been plagued [by the same spirits], and chastened every morning [by their own corruption blocking the light].
15 If I say, I will speak thus [with the same old corrupt words]; behold, I should offend against the generation of your children [You are correcting].
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me [realizing this was opposing the LORD and resisting His work];
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God [into His presence and received His understanding]; then understood I their end [when understanding has come, and obedience is perfected].
18 Surely you did set them in slippery places: you casted them down into destruction.
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream [deceived by the creation of stupefied minds] when one awakes; so, O LORD, when you awake [in our flesh, raising us, with One Mind, as Your ONE flesh Body], you shall despise their image [their creations: corruption].
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have held me by my right hand.
24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside you.
26 My flesh and my heart [the corruption in mind] fail: but God is the strength of my heart [writing His understanding into our minds], and my portion forever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from you shall perish: you have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the LORD God, that I may declare all your works.

Psalms 1
1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful [luwts – interpreters, mocking the LORD’s appearing].
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of [living] water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind [the LORD’s Spirit moving] drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

30 January – 2 February 2024 PART 1 OF 2

Though they dig into hell, thence shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

The above, Amos 9:2, speaks of those mentioned in the verse before and the closing verses of the previous chapter. It says they worked to find hell (Sheol, the habitation of the dead), and the LORD’s work, against which they war, will take them (away) there in this flood and fire. These (flood and fire) are the words of men saying they have understanding (by their own wisdom, thinking they are climbing into heaven, as in Babble, speaking confusion, scattering the world), which is now revealed to be the way of death, which takes them (down) into the hell they dig, from where they will not escape.

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 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 know 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 bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.]
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.

The words kaphtor and caph above next appear in Zephaniah 2:14, and only the latter is used after, in Zechariah 12:2.

Zephaniah 2
1 Gather yourselves together [into the sanctuary of My ONE BODY], yea, gather together [with My One Mind], O nation not desired [My hated people who haven’t recognized My presence];
2 Before the decree [choq – the decreed appointed time, the decree of Psalms 2:7, the passage saying, 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree {choq}: the LORD has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten {yalad} you. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. 9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. 10 Be wise now therefore, O you kings: be instructed, you judges of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.] bring forth [yalad – referring to Isaiah 66:7 – 9, saying: 5 Hear the word of the LORD, you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. 6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompence to his enemies. 7 Before she travailed, she brought forth {yalad}; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. 8 Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth {chuwl – be shaken} in one day? or shall a nation be born {yalad} at once? for as soon as Zion travailed {chuwl – was shaken}, she brought forth {yalad} her children. 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth {yalad}? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth {yalad}, and shut the womb? says your God.], [bring forth] before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD’s anger come upon you.]
3 Seek you the LORD, all you meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be you shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger.
4 For Gaza [the strong, who aren’t meek, and seek to destroy] shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon [in the trial of this fire] a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod [the powerful, sitting in power] at the noon day [when this light, understanding, is exalted above all other voices], and Ekron [choosing eradication in the fires] shall be rooted up.
5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast [the end of this evil generation, the limit of their darkness], the nation of the Cherethites [the executioners, the depopulationists seeking to kill off 87.5% {7 of every 8 people} of this generation]! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan [the degenerates who think these evil thoughts], the land of the Philistines [who have brought their invading army of strangers among us as their means], I will even destroy you, that there shall be no inhabitant.
6 And the sea coast [the new beginning that follows the end of darkness] shall be dwellings and cottages for [good] shepherds, and folds [gderah] for flocks. [gderah, refers to its use in Nahum 3:17, the passage saying: 17 Your crowned are as the locusts {seeking to devour all life}, and your captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges {gderah – among the fold} in the cold day, but when the sun {this understanding} arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are. 18 Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria {the communists}: your nobles shall dwell in the dust {the ashes of the earth they ruined}: your people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathers them.]
7 And the coast [this new heaven and earth, built upon the ruin of the old] shall be for the [elect] remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon [that remain after the shaking in the trial by fire] shall they lie down in the evening [at the end of the days of darkness]: for the LORD their God shall visit them [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth, and shall return truth and justice to reign in the earth], and turn away their captivity [in death and hell].
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab [the words of men: the gates of hell holding this generation therein], and the reviling of the children of Ammon [those who’ve scattered God’s people], whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border [bringing in their invading army].
9 Therefore as I live, says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab [gates of hell] shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon [revilers] as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles [misleaders, strangers among us a thorns in our sides and pricks in our eyes]], and salt-pits [digging for what will dissolve in these waters], and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the [elect] remnant of my people shall possess them [as the LORD promised Abraham – again, see Genesis 22:17, the passage saying: 7 That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed my voice.].
10 This shall they [the enemies of the LORD] have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts [a man of war].
11 The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen [the places without this word of God, who, therefore, haven’t known Him].
12 You Ethiopians [covered in darkness, ignorance] also, you shall be slain by my sword [this word from My mouth].
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north [the places of darkness, keeping the world ignorant], and destroy Assyria [the communists]; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry [removing their words of darkness] like a wilderness.
14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels [kaphtor – the capital, the heads of the pillars] of it; their voice shall sing in the windows [receiving and repeating these word as they see this is the LORD coming]; desolation shall be in the thresholds [caph – those posted at the gate, as bowls into which the blood of this sacrifice is poured]; for he shall uncover the cedar work [the works of men, evil creations which were before hidden].
15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts [without My Spirit] to lie down in [death and hell]! every one that passes by her [‘abar – rises out of her, from death into life] shall hiss, and wag his hand [in disapproval, drawing attention to her wickedness that was before hidden].

Matthew 12
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

The name Nineveh leads us to the three times used Hebrew word niyn (meaning progeny), from the once-used word nuwn, meaning “to resprout, i.e. propagate by shoots; figuratively, to be perpetual.” As previously discussed, the proper name Nun (Nuwn) is of the father of Oshea (salvation or deliverer), whom Moses called Joshua (Jehovah’s Salvation). Joshua (Jesus – Jehovah’s Salvation personified) is the name (identifier) of the perpetual son in whom Jehovah is manifested saving His people. In this context, in the above verse, the LORD’s people are identified by the name Nineveh, the dwelling place of the perpetual children of God (children of the Most High {‘elyown}), who rise in judgment in this last generation (the last of the old which becomes the first of the new).

The above definition is depicted in Psalms 72 where the word nuwn appears in verse 17.

Psalms 72
1 Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 He shall judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgment.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear you as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endures.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: 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; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 His name shall endure forever: his name shall be continued [nuwn] 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.

Friends, all who’ve kept this word of God, you understand all the intricacies (revealed treasure) in the similitudes used above, and if you do, you are the stars of God (enlightened: filled with His understanding mind), His sons who shout with joy.

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.

The LORD, today, refers us to the two places in the Old Testament where the phrase “consuming fire,” speaking of Him, appear in Deuteronomy (4:24 & 9:3), both coming, as above, in warning to hear and obey His word.

The Greek word use above in the same phrase is the once-used katananlisko, meaning “to consume utterly.” It’s from the three times used word analisko, meaning “to use up, i.e. destroy:– consume,” and kata, meaning “down (in place or time).”

The word (analisko) tells us this isn’t fire, as men think it is, but that which is sent from the LORD’s Spirit, manifesting His presence in words from His mouth.

Luke 9
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered [not yet understanding what they were experiencing] 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 [paradidomi – meaning “to surrender, i.e yield up, entrust, transmit”] into the hands of men [who have corrupted the truth and caused the world to lose sight of Him].
45 But they understood not this saying, and [because of the corruption, the spirit of iniquity that was already at work] it was hid from them [as they wondered at the experience], that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
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 [who wasn’t yet corrupted by the spirit of iniquity], and set him by him,
48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child [who is without men’s corruption] in My name receives me [therefore, be you holy as I Am holy, be you pure as I Am pure of men’s corruption]: and whosoever shall receive me receives him [the Father who is without corruption] that sent me: for he that is least [of no reputation, in this corrupt world as fools for Chris’s sake] among you all, the same shall be great.
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils [misleaders, corrupting and blinding the minds of men] 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 that he should be received up [out of sight, until His word is exalted above his flesh appearance], he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem [where the peace that flows from God alone should be taught],
52 And sent messengers [with this word from the mouth of God] before his face [as I have sent you to manifest the LORD’s presence before He appears to those who will eventually hear it is Him, and receive Him]: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans [where they’ve put idols in God place and call them by His name], to make ready for him.
53 And they [because of the corruption they’ve been taught] did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem [to teach this word that flows directly from the Father, which is the only way to sustainable peace and security].
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] them, even as Elias did [the false prophets {like false teachers among us} of Baal {meaning they call him LORD}]?
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 they went to another village.

Galatians 5
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law [by following the written word and doing the work called for therein, without understanding the spirit therein: what it is meant to achieve: sustainable peace and security: true civilization]; you are fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision [of the flesh; outward appearance without inward change]; but faith which worketh by love.
7 You did run well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the [present] truth?
8 This persuasion comes not of him that calls you.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump. [Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the corrupt of those entrusted with this understanding.]
10 I have confidence in you through the LORD, that you will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubles you [opposing and resisting this word of God] shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision [the true spirit of removing the flesh from the mind, which uncovers the head from whom comes new life: who is Christ], why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
12 I would they were even [the flesh] cut off which trouble you.
13 For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love 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, take heed that you be not consumed [analisko] one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would.
18 But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law.

We know from the final use of the word analisko, in 2 Thessalonians 2:8, this consuming [fire] is when the Wicked (Satan, the spirit of iniquity working in the children of disobedience) are destroyed by the Spirit of the LORD’s mouth, which is this brightness (giving understanding: cognition) of His coming. That is the experience now at hand, after the falling way (apostasy) that caused worldwide confusion, turned delusion, and now mass debilitating insanity. And only those who refuse the love of the LORD’s truth will perish, self-inflicted by their choice.

2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together [apeksunogoge – at His complete collection of His people into His ONE BODY] 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 [the time of light, understanding, returned] of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day [full understanding returns] shall not come, except there come a falling away [apostasia – standing away from God and His truth, with those who’ve led there by putting themselves in His place, who now resist and oppose Him] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [the many in the pattern of Reuben, who put himself in his father’s place and lost his birthright];
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 [in His place], 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 down, keeping God’s people from rising] that he might be revealed in his time [all the men putting themselves in God’s place, from then until now, who resist and oppose this true word of God, because it opposes them and their confusion by which they rule].
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets [katecho – hold God people down] will let, until he be taken out of the way [mesos – from among us].
8 And then [when this word of God has free course and is exalted above the corrupt words of men] shall that Wicked be revealed [apokaloupto – the apocalypse], whom the LORD shall consume [analisko] with the spirit of his mouth [these words He is speaking, as a sword of righteousness], and shall destroy with the brightness [full understanding given] of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of [the apostasia – falling away from God and truth, led by the spirit of resistance] Satan with all power [to darken the minds of men] and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that [following them] perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause [choosing to remain in apostacy, following those siting in God’s place] God shall send them strong delusion [insanity now destroying the old and corrupt world], 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 of the Spirit [cleansing you in these pure waters] and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel [believing He is with us, in us speaking and working], to the obtaining of the glory [the manifested presence] of our LORD Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions [paradosis – transmitted, given as received] 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 [paraklesis – the Paraclete, who is with us always, leading us into all truth] and good hope [of the expected end] through grace [the gift of these treasures],
17 Comfort your hearts [parakaleo – receive the message, this conversation with the LORD, into your minds], and stablish you [by this present truth] in every good word and work.

2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the LORD may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you [received as the word of God, and not of man]:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable [men who can’t be reasoned with] and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But the LORD is faithful, who shall stablish you [in this present truth], and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in the LORD touching you [His word effectually working in you], that you both do and will do [and not just hear] the things which we command you.
5 And the LORD direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly, and not after the tradition [paradosis – transmitted, given] which he received of us.

Hebrews 1
10 And, You, LORD, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:
11 They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels [the messengers He’s sent] said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for [this message to] them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him [from His flesh He prepared for Himself – His ONE BODY in which He dwells];
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts [these treasures revealed] of the Holy Ghost [The LORD speaking and working unknown, veiled in my flesh], according to his own will?
