My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.

The LORD begins today above in Proverbs 3:11 & 12, a very well-known passage quoted in Hebrews 12:5 & 6. Verse 7 of this Proverb, saying “Be not wise in your own [evil] eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil;” is quoted in Romans 11:25 & 12:16, all speaking of the beginning of correction, verse 8 then saying “It shall be health to your navel, and marrow [bring new life: blood] to your [dead and scattered] bones.”

The word rendered “naval” is the twice-used Hebrew word shor, meaning “the umbilical cord,” which infers a connection to a teacher (a mother), through which sustenance (wisdom and understanding) should flow. It (shor) needing “health” implies what is flowing isn’t bringing it. It (health) is from the once used Hebrew word riph’uwth, meaning a cure, from the words rapha’, meaning “to mend (by stitching [disconnecting and reconnecting to another source]), i.e. (figuratively) to cure,” and the once used word ‘uwth, meaning “to hasten, i.e. succor [rescue]:–speak in season.”

Isaiah 50
1 Thus says the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have you sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother [teachers] put away.
2 Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinks, because there is no water [none of this word of God], and die for thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4 The LORD God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season [‘uwth] to him that is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as the learned.
5 The LORD God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back [to corruption].
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 For the LORD God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 He is near that justifies me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is my adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Behold, the LORD God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10 Who is among you that fears the LORD, that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks in darkness, and has no light? let him trust in the name [the manifested identity] of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
11 Behold, all you that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light [your corrupted understanding] of your fires, and in the sparks that you have kindled. This shall you have of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.

Proverbs 3
1 My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to you.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the table of your heart:
4 So shall you find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to your navel [shor], and marrow to your bones.
9 Honor the LORD with your substance, and with the first-fruits of all your increase:
10 So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.
13 Happy [blessed] is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retains her.
19 The LORD by wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding has he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 So shall they be life unto your soul, and grace to your neck.
23 Then shall you walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble.
24 When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes.
26 For the LORD shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being taken.
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
28 Say not unto your neighbor, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it by you.
29 Devise not evil against your neighbor, seeing he dwells securely by you.
30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done you no harm.
31 Envy you not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32 For the forward [twisted or perverted truth] is abomination to the LORD: but his secret [truth He protects and reserves, to be revealed against abominations men {twisting and perverting truth} put in His place] is with the righteous.
33 The curse [this word] of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he [by this same word] blesses the habitation of the just.
34 Surely he scorns the scorners: but he gives grace unto the lowly.
35 The wise shall inherit [His] glory: but shame [not reaching the end they seek by their false proclamations: evil decrees] shall be the promotion of fools.

The following, ending with Psalms 45, is from the post of 14 April 2022, with today’s additions in double brackets. The passages include Ezekiel 16, where the only other use of the word shor appears in verse 4. In this verse, the LORD speaks of finding us while we were still in a state of nature, our minds still possessed by ignorance, which was draining our life rather than flowing into us health.

Ezekiel 21
8 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the LORD; Say, A sword [this word of God from His mouth], a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemn the rod of my son [[My OND BODY]], as every tree [the scepter to rule, now as dead wood, barren in the hand of those sitting in God’s place].
11 And he has given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon your thigh.
13 Because it is a trial [bachan – an investigation], and what if the sword [word of God] contemn [has contempt for] even the rod [the scepter in the hand of the current crop of [[corrupt]] leaders [[who refuse to receive this word as the word from the mouth of God]]? it shall be no more, says the LORD God.
14 You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite your hands together. and let the sword be doubled the third time [[long suffering, sending this word, not wanting any to perish, but hoping that all will come to repentance and salvation]], the sword of the slain [[who reject this truth, instead choosing lying vanities, they refuse the LORD’s grace and mercy]]: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which enters into their privy chambers [the lies and falsehood under which they think they are hidden – Isaiah 28:17 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.].
15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates [[of hell, the devouring mouths of men]], that their heart [[minds]] may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright [[with this understanding]], it is wrapped up for the slaughter.
16 Go you one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever your face is set.
17 I will also smite my hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.
18 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
19 Also, you son of man, appoint you two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon [[the confusion of the wicked now turned mass delusion and insanity: the inability to distinguish between their delusion and reality]] may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose [bara’ – with My word create] you a place, choose [bara’ – with MY word I will create] it at the head of the way to the city.
20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites [the great men whose words have scatter My people from Me], and to Judah in Jerusalem [[the dead body of Christ, sleeping in “Limbo,” including those who will become My new crop of godly leaders and My people at large, who do receive Me and My word, who will rise together with us: the elect remnant who remain alive here in hell]] the defensed.
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use [[false]] divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images [[men’s vain creation]], he looked in the liver [[the deepest, heaviest, things intentionally deceiving minds of men and manipulating them onto doing their evil deeds]].
22 At his right hand [[Satan]] was the divination for Jerusalem [[attempting to deceive God’s people at large], to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates. [[the entry here preached, into the kingdom of the LORD], to cast a mount, and to build a fort.
23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths [[to not submit to correction, but rather to remain in hell]]: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken [[by their own words]].
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God; Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that you are come to remembrance, you shall be taken with the hand [[this work of the LORD, revealing your corrupt works]].
25 And you, profane wicked prince of Israel [[the leaders possessed by Satan, whose words against the LORD are profanity]], whose day [[this time of light]] is come, when iniquity shall have an end [[qets]],
26 Thus says the LORD God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose [[birth]] right it is; and I will give it him [[Shiloh, Joseph’s seed, from whom this peace flows]].
28 And you, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the LORD God concerning the Ammonites [[the sayers, those speaking deceptions meant to cause Satanic ignorance and confusion]], and concerning their reproach; even say you, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering [[showing this light]]:
29 Whiles they see vanity unto you, whiles they divine a lie unto you, to bring you upon the necks [[where their words are formed]] of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end [[qets]].
30 Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge you in the place where you were created, in the land of your nativity [[see Ezekiel 16:3 below]].
31 And I will pour out my indignation [[za’am]] upon you [[which ends in your destruction, as in Isaiah 10:25, saying “For yet a very little while, and the indignation {za’am} shall cease {kalah – have a full end}, and my anger in their destruction.”]], I will blow [[puwach – utter my voice and kindle a fire]] against you in the fire of my wrath, and deliver you into the hand of brutish men, and skillful to destroy.
32 You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood [[see Ezekiel 16:6 below, telling us this is where the LORD has found us]] shall be in the midst of the land [[‘erets – the earth]]; you shall be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.

The word rendered “defensed,” in verse 20 above, is batsar, meaning “to clip off; specifically (as denominative from 1210) to gather grapes; also to be isolated (i.e. inaccessible by height or fortification).” It is used only one other time by Ezekiel, in Ezekiel 36:35 rendered “become fenced.” It [[the verse]] is speaking of [[Limbo, where the souls of the unbaptized dead wait for this baptism]] the opposite of the other of the two ways, the first scattered from the LORD, and the other fenced (protected) with Him.

Ezekiel 36
16 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.
18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:
19 And I scattered them [[like dead bones]] among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
20 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they [[speaking Satan’s words of death]] profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
21 But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus says the LORD God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the heathen, whither you went.
23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen [[who haven’t known me]] shall know that I am the LORD, says the LORD God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart [[foundational mind]] also will I give you, and a new [[holy]] spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And you shall dwell in the land [[‘ertes – the earth]] that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
29 I will also save you from all your uncleanness: and I will call for the corn [[dagan – meaning increase]], and will increase it, and lay no famine [[for hearing this word of God]] upon you.
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you shall receive no more reproach [[words]] of famine among the heathen [[who haven’t known Me]].
31 Then shall you remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32 Not for your sakes do I this, says the LORD God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded [buwsh – not reaching the end the false prophets and false teachers said you/they would] for your own ways, O house of Israel.
33 Thus says the LORD God; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be built.
34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden [[the place of your nativity]]; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced [batsar [[Limbo, from where I have by this baptism raised you to life again]]], and are inhabited.
36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.
37 Thus says the LORD God; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

The above: the one flock in the garden of Eden, is then described, in Ezekiel 37, speaking of the LORD’s Spirit in me breathing life into His people, who He says become one tree of life in my hand (by His work through me).

We know from earlier chapters this body is God’s people from all eternity, awakened from hell and brought into Eden.

Ezekiel 31
14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth [hell], in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
15 Thus says the LORD God; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters [of life] were stayed: and I caused Lebanon [purity in high places] to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon [the pure in high places], all that drink water [from the king the LORD raises for US from the among the dead in hell], shall be comforted [leading us into all truth by His Spirit unknown working] in the nether parts of the earth [hell].
17 They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
18 To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shall you be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth [dead in hell]: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised [in the flesh] with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh [the great house of oppressing kings] and all his multitude, says the LORD God.

Ezekiel 32
24 There is Elam [all those from throughout eternity] and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised [in the flesh] into the nether parts of the earth [dead in hell], which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.
26 There is Meshech [drawn into open sight], Tubal [where the LORD has brought the wicked], and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised [in the flesh], slain by the sword [the word of God that proceeds from His mouth – I Am], though they caused their terror [by lies and misleading] in the land of the living.
27 And they [the wicked] shall not lie with the mighty [God’s sleeping army] that are fallen of the uncircumcised [sleeping in the flesh], which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones [scattered and dry without this word of God], though they [the wicked] were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
28 Yea, you shall be broken [by this word of God, precept and line] in the midst of the uncircumcised [in the flesh], and shall lie with them that are slain with the sword [the word from the mouth of God].
29 There is Edom [the enemies mixed among us, who say they are our countrymen and brothers], her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
30 There be the princes of the north [hidden under their falsehood and lies, their covenant with death and agreement with hell], all of them, and all the Zidonians [who hunt souls], which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed [buwsh – confounded] of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.
31 Pharaoh shall [the king line shall awaken and] see them, and shall be comforted over [the king, the paraclete, shall lead God’s people into all truth and life from the dead] all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword [this word from God mouth – according to scripture], says the LORD God.
32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword [[this word of God from my mouth, which is refused]] even Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the LORD God.

The word rendered “terror” above, the Hebrew word chittiyth, only appears in Ezekiel 32, once in chapter 26, also rendered terror, and twice in Ezekiel 16, rendered Hittite. This proper name is said to be of the mother who birthed us in the land of our nativity (Eden). The land where this occurs is there [[in Ezekiel 16:3]] said to be Canaan (the Promised Land), and the father is said to be an Amorite (a sayer “in the sense of publicity, i.e. prominence [drawn into open sight],” meaning those who exalt their words against God’s).

This is speaking of the abominations, the ruin (without form and void) into which God sent light, understanding that is the life of the world (the new heaven and earth, heavenly Jerusalem, wherein dwells righteousness, into which we are chastised and scourged).

Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses [Hebrews 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report {the Father testifying of them in His testimony, the shmuw’ah, that they believe Him, and did His will on earth} through faith, received not the promise: 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.], let us lay aside every weight [the burdens of men’s words], and the sin [missing the mark {of righteousness through faith}] which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy [the crowning that comes when God is seen in him] that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not you the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
6 For whom the LORD loves [agapao – shows charity] he chastens [corrects through the testimony He gives, through those He first gave His treasures], and scourges every son whom he receives.
7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not?
8 But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.

Above we’re told of the scourge that comes upon all, and of those who reject correction (chastising) who will not enter the kingdom. The writer (the LORD) likens this refusal to Esau (a symbol of enemies mixed among us, as illegitimate brothers) selling his birthright; the cause also spoken of as not seeking peace [[Shiloh]] with all men, without which no man will see God (enter His kingdom).

Hebrews 12
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded [to do God’s will, seek peace with all men], And if so much as a beast touch the mountain [those without His correction, who attempt to come into His presence], it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [the kingdom of God, full understanding in His presence]:
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 [the leaven, which, by the unfaithful, has been fully worked into the lump, corrupting it all], that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Ezekiel 16
1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3 And say, Thus says the LORD God unto Jerusalem; Your birth and your nativity is of the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother a Hittite [chittiyth [[terror]]].
4 And as for your nativity, in the day you were born your navel [[shor]] was not cut, neither were you washed in water to supple you; you were not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these unto you, to have compassion upon you; but you were cast out in the open field, to the loathing of your person, in the day that you were born.
6 And when I passed by you, and saw you polluted in your own blood, I said unto you when you were in your blood, Live; yea, I said unto you when you were in your blood, Live. [I cut the cord that held you in “terror,” washed {corrected} you from the words of your fathers {the sayers}, and fenced {swaddled} you with my protection in Eden.]

Ezekiel 26
16 Then all the princes [the corrupt leaders] of the sea [of all humanity] shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at you.
17 And they shall take up a lamentation for you, and say to you, How are you destroyed, that were inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, that were strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror [chittiyth] to be on all [the dead] that haunt it!
18 Now shall the isles [the dry places without this word of God] tremble in the day of your fall; yea, the isles [[the dry places that are without this word of the LORD]] that are in the sea shall be troubled at your departure.
19 For thus says the LORD God; When I shall make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep [understanding hidden only in your ignorance] upon you, and great waters [of life] shall cover you;
20 When I shall bring you down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set you in the low parts of the earth, in places [hell] desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I shall set [My] glory in the land of the living;
21 I will make you a terror, and you shall be no more: though you be sought for, yet shall you never be found again, says the LORD God.

Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of [scattered] bones,
2 And caused me to pass by [[‘abar – from death into life among]] them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these [scattered] bones live? And I answered, O LORD God, you know.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these [scattered] bones, and say unto them, O you dry bones, hear the word of the LORD [and come together and live].
5 Thus says the LORD God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath [My Spirit] to enter into you, and you shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath [My Spirit] in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise [qowl – My voice from the son of man], and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them [alive in the flesh but without the Spirit of God in them].
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind [of God Almighty, for who nothing is too hard], prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the LORD God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain [as His Spirit has breathed His word upon you], that they may live.
10 So I prophesied [spoke His word] as he commanded me, and the breath [His Spirit] came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall you know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, says the LORD.
15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, you son of man, take you one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one [BODY] in your hand.
18 And when the children of your people shall speak unto you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick [‘ets – one tree of life in the garden of Eden], and they shall be one in my hand.
20 And the sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.
21 And say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen [from among those who don’t know Me], whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land [this land [[‘adamah – the first gereneration of My new creation]]]:
22 And I will make them one nation [ONE BODY of Christ] in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children forever: and my servant David shall be their prince forever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace [[shalowm – as in Genesis 15:15, where Abraham is, as the LORD covenanted with him]] with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

Psalms 45
1 My heart [[mind]] is inditing [overflowing with] a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 You are fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into your lips: therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Gird your sword upon your thigh, O most mighty, with your glory and your majesty.
4 And in your majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall teach you terrible things.
5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under you.
6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: the scepter of your kingdom is a right scepter.
7 You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8 All your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made you glad.
9 Kings’ daughters were among your honorable women: upon your right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear; forget also your own people, and your father’s house;
11 So shall the king greatly desire your beauty: for he is your LORD; and worship you him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat your favor.
13 The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto you.
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
16 Instead of your fathers shall be your children, whom you mayest make princes in all the earth.
17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise you forever and ever.

18 – 21 September 2025

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

The LORD begins today in Joel 2:32 above, where he tells us Zion and Jerusalem are His people, the elect remnant He calls, who have called on His name. The word rendered “delivered” is the Hebrew word pleytah, meaning deliverance; concretely, an escaped portion:–deliverance, (that is) escape(-d), remnant.” 

The word rendered “remnant” is sariyd, meaning “a survivor:–X alive, left, remain(- ing), remnant, rest.”

1 Thessalonians 4
1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you [parakaleo – leading you into all truth] by the LORD Jesus [alive in us, speaking and working], that as you have received [paralambano – referring to its only other use in this Book, in chapter 2, verse 13, when they “received {paralambano} the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe.” Verse 19 then tells of the joy realized, as Paul makes it plain, asking “Are not even you in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ at his coming?”] of us how you ought to walk [as those who’ve received Him at His coming] and to please God, so you would abound more and more.
2 For you know what commandments we gave you by the LORD Jesus.
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification [washing away the corrupt], that you should abstain from fornication [interaction with men who put themselves in God’s place, as idol speaking their own words, which corrupt all that hear and follow them]:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel [in which the LORD dwells] in sanctification and honor;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence [coveting things that are forbidden, presuming and teaching things that aren’t true], even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 That no man go beyond [with false teaching] and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the LORD is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 For God has not [through us, in us] called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despises [those calling all into sanctification], despises not man, but God [in us, working and speaking yet unknown to those who haven’t received Him], who has also given unto us his holy Spirit [His presence in us unknown, until He chooses to reveal Himself in crowning us: His corrected children].
9 But as touching brotherly love [giving this word as received] you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 And indeed you do it toward all the brethren [in Christ] which are in all Macedonia [all the house of dead flesh: the churched where the sleeping dead are]: but we beseech you, brethren, that you increase more and more;
11 And that you study [philotimeomai – labor, work] to be quiet [hesuchazo – to stop your own words and works], and to do your own business [prasso – to practice, habitually repeat the received {paralambano} word], and to work with your own [idios – separated from the corruption of others] hands, [to become sanctified] as we commanded you;
12 That you may walk honestly [without defrauding] toward them that are without [not joined with us and the LORD, as in verses 16 & 17 below], and that you may have lack of nothing [having received Him and His gift].
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep [dead in Christ, His dead body], that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe [this is our hope] that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring [ago – lead, as the first begotten] with him. [2 Timothy 2:5 And if a man also strives for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strives lawfully. 6 The husbandman that labors must be first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say; and the LORD give you understanding in all things.]
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the LORD [alive in us], that we which are alive and remain [as in the words pleytah and sariyd above, the elect remnant that has escaped the corruption, and remains alive] unto the coming [as in 1 Thessalonians 2:19, quoted above, when the dead receive His word as His and Him] of the LORD shall not prevent [the ONE BODY will not rise before their awakening] them which are asleep [in death].
16 For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven [the place of full understanding] with a shout [of the LORD, calling all to gather into His ONE living Body], with the voice of the archangel [speaking this message as received], and with the trump of God [sounding the assembly]: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up [harpazo – pulled {as in Jude 1:23} from the fires, from the furnace: hell] together with them in the clouds [where understanding is found when it’s removed from the earth], to meet the LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with the LORD.
18 Wherefore comfort [parakaleo – lead into all truth] one another with these words.

As we know, the seven times used word aer, rendered “air” in verse 17 above, is fully described in its other uses. 

In Ephesians 2:2, Paul speaks to those already quickened to life from their former state (in death), where they were possessed by the prince of the power of the air (aer), the spirit at work in the children of disobedience. This prince is the one spoken of in Revelation 9:2, who is fallen from heaven (leaving his first estate and now speaks his own words), who has the key to the bottomless pit (the endless fall away from God and His truth), a furnace from where comes the smoke that darkens the sun (removes understanding from the church) and the air (aer), clouding the clarity.

In Revelation 16:17, this smoke is cleared (saying “It is done,” signifying it is the end of ignorance) by the seventh angel pouring out his vial (vessel, body) into the air (aer), which we’re told is a great voice (like that of the archangel in 1 Thessalonians 4:16) from the temple of heaven. It is in this clear “air,” in this exposition (firmament), which God calls heaven (Genesis 1:8), we join (meet) the LORD (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

We know from two other uses of the word aer, 1 Corinthians 9:26 and 14:9, that it is into this “air” words are spoken.

1 Corinthians 9
24 Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain.
25 And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beats [not as one who fights against God’s word in] the air [aer]:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection [under God]: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

1 Corinthians 14
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues [this word of God which you do not understand], what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine [received from the LORD, His word from His mouth by which man lives]?
7 And even things without life-giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare [with this understanding] himself to the battle [now at hand]?
9 So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for you shall speak into the air [aer – where there are already many voices speaking their ignorant opinions, which is the smoke from the bottomless pit].
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaks a barbarian [barbaros – one who speaks a foreign language], and he that speaks shall be a barbarian [barbaros] unto me.
12 Even so you, forasmuch as you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that you may excel [perisseou – be superabundant] to the edifying [oikodome – build up, by education] of the church.

Ephesians 2
1 And you has he quickened [from death into life], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air [aer], the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh [speaking things that aren’t true], fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace [these treasures freely given] you are saved;)
6 And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in [the ONE BODY of] Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are you saved through faith [that these treasures are His word in which He manifests Himself with us and in us]; and that not of yourselves [not a product of our work]: it is the gift [and work] of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood [the necessary sacrifice to deliver the word] of Christ [declaring it is the LORD with us, in us].

The first use of the word aer comes in Acts 22:23, as those disputing Paul’s teaching cry out against him and throw “dust” in the air (aer). The word rendered “dust” is the five times used word koniortos, which has affinity to the words koinos (to make profane, defile, unclean, unholy) and ouranos (air, heaven, sky).

Acts 22
22 And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
23 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust [koniortos – their defiled understanding] into the air [aer – the place wherein words are heard, moving air creating sound],
24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.

The word (koniortos) appears four other times, all speaking of the “dust” that cleaves to people (the corruption of understanding over time), which is shaken off as a witness against their rejection of the undefiled (uncorrupted) word delivered to them as received.

Luke 10
1 After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face [to manifest His presence in His word they give as received] into every city and place, whither he himself would come [be manifested in those who receive it as the word of the LORD, as it is].
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray you therefore the LORD of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 And into whatsoever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house [the word “peace,” speaking of the LORD’s word that He has given {left with} us, is from eirene, with affinity to the words rheo, meaning to pour forth, to speak, and {with affinity to phaino, meaning to lighten or shine upon, and phos also meaning to shine, or manifest} phemi, meaning “to show or make known one’s thoughts, i.e. speak or say:–affirm, say”].
6 And if the son of peace [the predestined, those who receive this correction and thereby become the children of God] be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again [this refers to the dust, the corrupt understanding that keeps men from receiving this truth, it shall not cleave, join, to your pure thoughts].
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick [asthenes – those without strength, without understanding] that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust [koniortos – the defiled understanding] of your city, which cleaves [kallao] on us, we do wipe off [as a witness] against you: notwithstanding be you sure of this, that [in this pure word of God we speak as received] the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom [the world as Sodom now in flames and ruin], than for that city.
13 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 had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15 And you, Capernaum [to whom the Comforter has come], which are exalted to heaven [saying you know all things], shall be thrust down to hell.
16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despises you despises me; and he that despises me despise him that sent me.
17 And the seventy returned again with joy [realizing His presence was with them, in them], saying, LORD, even the devils [the misleaders who put themselves in the LORD place, who defile His word] are subject unto us through your name [Your identity with us, in us].
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven [He saw the devils removed from the places where understanding should be found].
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents [those whose words are poison] and scorpions [whose tail, what follows their words, rots men inside], and over all the power of the enemy [mixed among us]: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank you, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, that you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in your sight.
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see:
24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.

The eirene (peace) as described above, is (by defintion) embodied in the name Jerusalem, which we well-know is from the words yara’ (yarah) and shalam, respectively meaning, “a primitive root; properly, to flow as water (i.e. to rain); transitively, to lay or throw (especially an arrow, i.e. to shoot); figuratively, to point out (as if by aiming the finger), to teach;” and “to be safe (in mind, body or estate); figuratively, to be (causatively, make) completed; by implication, to be friendly; by extension, to reciprocate (in various applications).”

Friends, it’s a simple plan: the LORD gives His word first to one person, who then shares it with a small elect group that recognizes it as His voice, and they in turn share it with the multitude – ergo, the world is saved.

When Luke 10 begins and verse 1 says “the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them,” it is referring to the first verse of the previous chapter. There we’re told of His first sending the twelve (the few laborers first sent to the harvest), who He gives the same instructions as above, verse 5 saying “And whosoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust [koniortos – their corrupt thinking that keeps them in darkness] from your feet for a testimony against them.” 

In the fuller context, the next time the LORD, in Luke, uses the word eirene is in Luke 11:21, and after that in Luke 12:51.

Luke 11
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit [His presence they haven’t known] to them that ask him?
14 And he was casting out a devil [misleaders possessed by Satan the resister of God], and it was dumb [leaving their first estate, refusing to speak His word]. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered.
15 But some of them said, He casts out devils through Beelzebub [Baal zbuwb – the latter word only used twice; in Ecclesiastes 10:1 where it’s the dead “fly” in the ointment that makes it stink; and Isaiah 7:18 where it’s {now} the communists among us with the “fly” in the words that flow from them] the chief of the devils.
16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation [referring to Luke 12:51]; and a house divided against a house falleth.
18 If Satan [all who are resisting this word of God] also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore, [the children who willingly receive the LORD’s teaching and leading] shall they be your judges.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. [The reference to the “finger” leads to Luke 16:24 when the rich man in hell asks Abraham to send Lazarus to dip his finger in water to cool the fire in his mouth, which {mouth} we know is the great uncrossable gulf {chasma} between heaven and hell, life and death. The rich man {after the LORD denies his request} then asks Abraham to send Lazarus {the priesthood that comes from death into life} to his living relatives to warn them {that they are already dead, even while in the flesh}. Abraham tells him, “If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.”]
21 When a strong man armed keeps his palace [from the corruption of men], his goods [foundation principles, upon which His palace is built] are in peace [eirene – flowing understanding]:
22 But when a [the communists among us] stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor [the shield, the recognition of the LORD’s presence and protection] wherein he trusted, and divides his spoils [skulon – only used here, said to mean “something stripped (as a hide);” scattering his people].
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathers not with me scatters.
24 When the unclean spirit [the product of following devils] is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places [without this word of God], seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return unto my house [the church] whence I came out.
25 And when he comes, he finds it swept [of the dust] and garnished [removing what defiled it].
26 Then goes he, and taketh to him seven other [unclean] spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there [in his mind]: and the last state of that man is worse than the first [thinking he is saved, he becomes intransigent].
27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare you, and the paps which you have sucked [which taught you these things].
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [by the Father] are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet [calling all to repent, hear the word of God, and keep it].
30 For as Jonah was a sign unto the Ninevites [the perpetual children of God, who are predestined to hear the word of God, repent, and come to life], so shall also the Son of man be to this generation [those that will now choose good and refuse evil].
31 The queen of the south [the ONE BODY of Christ] shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold [after hearing she sees], a greater than Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
33 No man, when he has lighted a candle, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
34 The light [understanding and life] of the body is the eye [seeing as the LORD sees]: therefore when your eye is single, your whole body also is full of light; but when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness [ignorance and death].
35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in you be not darkness.
36 If your whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle does give you light.

All the following is from the post of 9 February 2022, with today’s additions in double brackets.

Not everyone that says unto me, LORD, LORD, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.

The LORD begins today with a warning to the unrepentant, to who He says, “Many will say to me in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.”

These men are the false prophets and misleaders who aren’t doing the will of God but their own works, which they think earned them entry into His kingdom. 

1 John 4 
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them [the many antichrists resisting the word and work of God]: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world hears them.
6 We are of God: he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let us love [agapao] one another: for love [agape] is of God; and every one that loves [agapao] is born of God, and knows God.
8 He that loveth [agapao] not knows not God; for God is love [agape].
9 In this was manifested the love [agape] of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Friends, these men, the incorrigibles, are manifested by not hearing and doing the will of God, which is to “love” as He loves. As we understand, His “love” is charity, freely giving His word, which is the light and life of the world. 

The fact that they do not hear this word as the word of God, which it is, or hearing it, refuse to do His will on earth as it is in heaven, proves they are not His children. Hebrews 12:8 says these men are “bastards” and not sons, because, without faith (not believing His testimony), the correction of God does not affect them, and they remain strangers in corruption and death.

Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses [Hebrews 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report {the Father testifying of them in His testimony, the shmuw’ah, that they believe Him, and did His will on earth} through faith, received not the promise: 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.], let us lay aside every weight [the burdens of men’s words], and the sin [missing the mark {of righteousness through faith}] which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy [the crowning that comes when God is seen in him] that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not you the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
6 For whom the LORD loves [agapao – shows charity] he chastens [corrects through the testimony He gives, through those He first gave His treasures], and scourges every son whom he receives.
7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not?
8 But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.

The word rendered “bastards” is the once used word “nothos” meaning “of uncertain affinity; a spurious or illegitimate son:–bastard.” 

Above we’re told of the scourge that comes upon all, and those who reject correction (chastising) will not enter the kingdom: of which the chapter later speaks. The writer (the LORD) likens this refusal to Esau (a symbol of enemies mixed among us, as illegitimate brothers) selling his birthright; the cause also spoken of as not seeking peace with all men, without which no man will see God (enter His kingdom).

Hebrews 12
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded [to do God’s will, seek peace with all men], And if so much as a beast touch the mountain [those without His correction, who attempt to come into His presence], it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [the kingdom of God, full understanding in His presence]:
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 [the leaven, which by the unfaithful, has been fully worked into the lump, corrupt it all], that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

When the above speaks of things made, removed by the LORD’s voice shaking them, it is speaking of what is written in Isaiah 28:8, saying “For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.” These are the tables (shulchan) in the temple, upon which was the showbread (which here is made with the leaven of the unfaithful, whose words are as vomit).

Psalms 69
21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let their table [shulchan] become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom you have smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom you have wounded.
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into your righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

Isaiah 28 
1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat [shemem – which is the LORD’s anointing when they are brought down] valleys of them that are overcome with wine [and are thereby unaware of its coming]!
2 Behold, the LORD has a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing [see verse 21 below], shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat [shemem – when their mocking proclaims the King, when they are brought down by their own ignorance] valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looks upon it sees, while it is yet in his hand he eats it up.
5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem [tsphiyrah – a crown] of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine [shmuw’ah – the report, teaching, the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26 below]? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts [who now draw from the Ancient of days].
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 [[this word of God His people no longer understand, truth which is to them a foreign language]] will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear [[because it contradicts the lie their false teachers and false preachers have fed them]].
13 But the [[true]] word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge [[this word all have refused]] shall pass through [[correcting all and bringing those who receive it from death into life]], it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus says the LORD GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – the sound doctrine, teaching, the rumor of Ezekiel 7:26 below].
20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim [2 Samuel 5:20 – as water from His throne, breaking forth upon His enemies], he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon [Joshua 10:10 & 11 – His word reserved {frozen} in heaven, sent as great hailstones upon the wicked [[false teacher and falsae preachers]]], that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22 Now therefore be you not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the LORD GOD of hosts a consumption [kalah – a full end, as in Daniel 9:27], even determined upon the whole earth.
23 Give you ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

Ezekiel 7 
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Also, you son of man, thus says the LORD GOD unto the land of Israel [[‘adamah – this generation that becomes the first of His new creation]]; An end [[qets – of the old]], the end [[qets]] is come upon the four corners of the land [[‘erets – the earth]].
3 Now is the end [[qets]] come upon you, and I will send my anger upon you, and will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense upon you all your abominations [[men’s creations put in the place of the holy]].
4 And my eye [[seeing all this evil]] shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations [[men’s creations]] shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am the LORD.
5 Thus says the LORD GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
6 An end [qets] is come, the end [qets] is come: it watches [quwts – awakens] for you; behold, it is come.
7 The morning [tsphiyrah – the crown, the crowning of the LORD’s chosen, the man of God, as was David] is come unto you, O you that dwells in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
8 Now will I shortly [[in this word]] pour out my fury upon you, and accomplish my anger upon you: and I will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense you for all your abominations.
9 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense you according to your ways and your abominations that are in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the LORD that smites.
10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning [tsphiyrah – the crowning] is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time is come, the day draws [naga’ – when the LORD joins with His people, in ONE BODY] near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return [[to the old and corrupt churches that led them here, not to the same old preaching and teaching of men’s creation]]; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14 They have blown the trumpet [[now calling all to gather to their dead churches]], even to make all ready; but none goes to the battle [[to which the LORD is calling us]]: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 The sword is without [[this word they reject, outside the dead churches]], and the pestilence and the famine within [[the dis-ease in these churches, that results without this word of God]]: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

25 Destruction [[qphadah – only used here, meaning the “shrinking,” from many into ONE, by cutting off the many evil opinions]] comes; and they shall seek peace [[in their same old corrupt words and ways]], and there shall be none.
26 Mischief [[hovah – only used three times, as in Jehovah, it speaks of His {Yahh – to whom it appertains} bringing these men’s words upon them, judging them by them]] shall come upon mischief [[hovah]], and rumor [shmuw’ah – teaching sound doctrine, and reporting truth] shall be upon rumor [shmuw’ah – teaching and reporting that isn’t believed, and the man of God reporting is still unknown – because of the lies and misleading of those who’ve blinded the world by drunkenness]; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. [[Isaiah 47:11 Therefore shall evil come upon you; thou shalt not know from whence it rises: and mischief {hovah} shall fall upon you; you shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which thou shalt not know.]]
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

The word used four times in Hebrews 12, telling of the Father’s chastising, is the six times used Greek word paideia, meaning “to train up a child, i.e. educate, or (by implication), discipline (by punishment):–chasten(-ise), instruct, learn, teach.”

It is the word used in 2 Timothy 3:16 to tell us it is “instruction” in righteousness that comes through scripture. It there says it (this instruction) is what makes the man of God perfect, and furnished unto every good work. This perfection is that spoken of in Hebrews 11:39 & 40, that comes to all God’s people, when the promise is received, and we enter the kingdom of heaven in God’s presence.

2 Timothy 3
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. [1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh [[a man]], justified in the Spirit [[while speaking unknown, roaring as a lion]], seen of angels [[those who receive Him and become His messengers delivering His message as received]], preached unto the Gentiles [[as a ox working in the earth, carrying this word to all who haven’t know the LORD]], believed on in the world, received up into glory [[rising as an eagle into heaven, His place of full understanding]].]
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 [paideia] in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

The word paideia is from the word paideuo, which also appears (three times) in Hebrews 12, referring us to 2 Timothy 2:25. There it speaks of “instructing” those who oppose themselves (Jonah 2:8 “They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy”), who are held in the snare of the devil (by his table), as Jonah was in the belly of hell (Jonah 2:2).

2 Timothy 2
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife [they are intended to continue an endless argument].
24 And the servant of the LORD must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing [paideuo] 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, who are taken captive by him at his will.

The above describes those God calls, who’ve diligently sought His knowledge, Godly men He’s rewarded with the treasures in His word, who then freely give His word as given. These men wrote of this as preaching “an entrance” into His kingdom, which comes with the realization that it is the LORD speaking.

This takes us back to the word nothos, and its twice-used derivative, nothros, meaning “sluggish, i.e., (literally) lazy, or (figuratively) stupid:–dull, slothful.”

Hebrews 5
4 And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he that said unto him, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.
6 As he says also in another place, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing you are dull [nothros] of hearing [because you haven’t been called, ordained, and rewarded].
12 For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles [stoicheion – elements] of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk [the first principles], and not of strong meat [the deeper understanding that only comes from the Father directly].
13 For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil [good and evil leading, which come in the meats, the deeper understanding freely given by God {which is good} or created and sold by men {which is evil}].

The “the word of righteousness” is the “scepter of righteousness” the Father puts in the hand of the son He declares. He chooses Him as the king through whom, as He did David (2 Samuel 23:2), He speaks, who then sends His ministers as spirits, angels, messengers, to those who become “heirs of salvation.” 

Deuteronomy 18
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you [Moses], and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command [tsavah – charge] him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded [tsavah – charge] him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21 And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD [Jehovah: Yahh-hayah] has not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow [hayah] not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously: you shall not be afraid of him.

“As we’ve seen, the name Jehovah means self-Existent and Eternal. Its shortened form, Jah (Yahh), is from the once used word ya’ah, meaning to be suitable, and rendered “appertain.” The other part of the longer form is from the words havah and hayah, respectively meaning “to breathe: to be (in the sense of existence),” and “to exist, i.e. to be or become, to come to pass.” His name tells of His existence in all time, in the flesh (breathing), self-manifesting at His will, making His presence known when He comes to help, rescue, and save His people.”

Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in diverse manners [in many seeming unconnected parts] spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things [to bring these parts in one message of Salvation], by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness [understanding] of his glory, and the express image of his person [manifested in me], and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 Being made so much better than the angels [also a king, teacher, priest, man of war, and much more], as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he brings in the first-begotten into the world, he says, And let all the angels [messengers] of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels [mal’ak – His messengers in whom He manifests His presence] spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
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 remains; 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 said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits [as in verse 7 above, messengers in who He manifests His presence], 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 [those sent with messages they may not have fully understood] 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;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

Hebrews 6 
1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection [the meat of the Father leading us into understanding and freeing us from the snare of the devil]; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this will we do, if God permit.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost [the LORD unknown, until He is known in the flesh],
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that comes oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God [His knowledge and understanding, freely given, as promised to Joseph’s seed Shiloh, who is in the order of Melchisedec: the king of righteousness and king of Salem {peace – tranquility}]:
8 But that which bears thorns and briers [misleaders] is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which you have shown toward his name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence [seeking first the kingdom of God] to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12 That you be not slothful [nothros – bastards through neglect, by following the thorns and briers that have grown therein], but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 For men truly swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enter into that within the veil [into the kingdom of God, full understanding in His presence];
20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.

Friends, receive His gift, receive Him, become His children and enter His kingdom.

The words nothos and nothros have an affinity to the word netho, meaning to “spin,” used twice and rendered “spin” in both occurrences in the same analogy.

Luke 12
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin [netho] not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 If then God so clothes the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, neither be you of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that you have need of these things.
31 But rather seek you the kingdom of God; and [then will you have a king and through him] all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell that you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 And you yourselves like unto men that wait for their LORD, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the LORD when he comes shall find watching: truly I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Be you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, LORD, speak you this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 And the LORD said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his LORD shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his LORD when he comes shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My LORD delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 The LORD of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 And that servant, which knew his LORD’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Suppose you that I am come to give peace [[eirene]] on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division [[by scourging, which must come before peace, to separate the wheat from the chaff, those who serve God from those who hate Him {because His truth contradicts their lies}, because their deeds are evil]]:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 And he said also to the people, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
55 And when you see the south wind blow, you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
56 You hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it [[but by ignorance of the LORD]] that you do not discern this time?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge you not what is right?

2 Samuel 23
1 Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, He that rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
4 And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.
5 Although my house be not so with God; yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.
6 But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
7 But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.

Psalms 45
1 My heart is inditing [overflowing with] a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 You are fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into your lips: therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Gird your sword upon your thigh, O most mighty, with your glory and your majesty.
4 And in your majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall teach you terrible things.
5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under you.
6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: the scepter of your kingdom is a right scepter.
7 You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8 All your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made you glad.
9 Kings’ daughters were among your honorable women: upon your right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear; forget also your own people, and your father’s house;
11 So shall the king greatly desire your beauty: for he is your LORD; and worship you him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat your favor.
13 The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto you.
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
16 Instead of your fathers shall be your children, whom you mayest make princes in all the earth.
17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise you forever and ever.

9 – 15 September 2025

But go you your way till the end be: for you shall rest, and stand in your lot at the end of the days.

In the above, the final verse of Daniel (12:13), the word twice rendered “end” is qets, meaning “an extremity; adverbially (with prepositional prefix) after.” As the LORD has revealed, we know this “end” of days is the days spoken of earlier in the chapter, the time and times (both from mow’ed, meaning the appointed time, of our congregation: into ONE BODY) mentioned earlier in verse 7, and the numbers of days mentioned in verses 11 and 12.

As we’ve often discussed, these numbers (the time 1290 days, added to the times, 1290 days + 1335 days) give us the number of years since Isaac’s birth (the child of the promise) and the year the LORD first (here) revealed this (formula). As we also know, this time is that which Abram (Abraham) saw when the LORD first (recorded in Genesis 15) made His covenant with him, as the time of his “deep sleep.” The awakening from this (deep sleep) is the subject of Daniel 12 (as we know, because the LORD, as foretold, has now again opened the sealed book and thereby revealed it to us, in this time “after” all that must occur has occurred).

Zechariah 14
1 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you.
2 For I will gather all nations against [the dead carcass, the dead body of Christ, who with His rising in them becomes New Heavenly] Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people [the elect remnant in whom He is already risen] shall not be cut off [karath – the same spoken of in Daniel 9:26, speaking of the LORD remaining with His elect remnant, those here realizing His presence with us, in us, saying “And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off {karath}, but not for himself {not from the elect remnant}: and the people {the carcass remaining dead} of the prince {the devils in power, in God’s place in church and state} that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end {qets} thereof shall be with a flood {sheteph – a key word, see its other uses, speaking of the evil conversation of the wicked in power}, and unto the end {qets} of the war desolations {of those warring against us with their evil words, their flatteries, their deceptions masked in their claimed good intentions} are determined {charats – decreed, as spoken of in Isaiah 28:2 & 10:22 & 23}] from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

Daniel 12
1 And at that time [of the promised end reached] shall Michael [who is made in God’s likeness] stand up [‘amad – resurrected in these last days], the great prince which stand for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – the tribulation], such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the [now opened] book.
2 And many of them that sleep [this is Abram’s deep sleep – Genesis 15:12] in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [give understanding] as the brightness of the firmament [the exposition that divides the words of men from the words of God, which God called Heaven]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets]: many shall run to and fro [diligently seeking this knowledge], and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold [I saw], there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river [during the time when the book is sealed and opened].
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen [bad – #906, a lone voice], which was upon the waters of the river [of time carrying this word of God forward], How long shall it be to the end [qets] of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen [bad – #906, a lone voice] which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that lives for ever that it shall be for a time [mow’ed – an appointed time when the book was closed], times [mow’ed – now when it is opened and we congregate into the LORD’s ONE LIVING BODY], and an half [chetsiy – when this word is split open again and rightly divided]; and when he shall have accomplished [kalah] to scatter the power [by corrupting the true word of God, and it isn’t in them effectually working to bring them to life] of the holy people, all these things shall be finished [kalah].
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my LORD [‘adown], what shall be the end [‘achariyth – the last days] of these things?
9 And he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified [barar – purged of the corruption that holds them in death’s sleep], and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily [necessary] sacrifice [declaring “thus says the LORD”] shall be taken away, and the abomination [men’s word’s and ways, as idols put in God’s place] that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days [the time, and one of the times].
12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [the other of the times – adding the time 1290 + (to the times 1290 + 1335) = the number of years since Abram’s {Abraham’s} deep sleep began, and it was here revealed – see Genesis 15:12].
13 But go you your way till the end [qets – the full end, now when we are awakened] be: for you shall rest, and stand [‘amad – from the sleep in death be resurrected] in your lot at the end [qets – the full end] of the days [here spoken of].

Daniel (9:26) tells of this end (qets) coming “with a flood,” from the six times used word sheteph, meaning “from 7857 [shataph]; a deluge (literally or figuratively):–flood, outrageous, overflowing.”

Isaiah 28
16 Therefore, thus says the LORD God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone [from where these life-giving waters flow], a tried stone [that can be trusted], a precious corner [pinnah] stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste [they shall not be ashamed, but shall reach this promised end].
17 Judgment [this right assessment of condition] also will I lay to the line [qav], and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail [against the current crop of corrupt leaders] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow [shataph] the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing [shataph] scourge [showt] shall pass through [‘abar – bringing you from death into life], 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 [‘abar – bringing to life those who receive it as the LORD’s voice, His work revealed], by day and by night [giving understanding to those held in darkness]: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – the voice of the LORD heard].

Again, we know the shmuw’ah (Jehovah’s voice heard) is the same “report,” spoken of in Isaiah 53:1, which says that to those who hear it as His, it is the arm (work) of the LORD revealed.

Hebrews 12
9 Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they truly for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit [sumphero – to drive together, the same meaning as prokope, see 1 Timothy 4:15 and Philippians 1:15 & 25 in recent posts, speaking of when every eye shall see it], that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Earlier in Isaiah 28, in verse 15, we know this “scourge” comes against the drunken powers (in church and state), those (whose covenant is with death, who are in agreement with hell) whose pride keeps them from being corrected, who are saying “when the overflowing [shataph] scourge shall pass through (‘abar – bringing the dead to life), it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.” The LORD’s answer is in the verses following and posted above.

Job 38
3 Gird up now your loins [prepare yourself to become] like a man; for I will demand of you, and answer you me.
4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth [this word of God, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was {IS} God.” John 1:1]? declare, if you have understanding.
5 Who has laid the measures [memad, from mad, meaning the word made to fit Him, as His “garment” and “armor”] thereof, if you know? or who has stretched the line [qav] upon it [who has expounded this word, as the firmament, which is heaven, line upon line]? [Isaiah 28:12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line {qav} upon line {qav}, line {qav} upon line {qav}; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. 14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing {shataph} scourge {showt} shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:]
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened [tala’ – set upon stone, a Rock from where this word flows]? or who laid the corner [pinnah] stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars [I and the children LORD has given me, risen as lights in heaven] sang together [repeating His word as received], and all the sons of God shouted [declaring His presence] for joy [at the realization of Him with us, in us]?
8 Or who shut up the sea [humanity] with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9 When I made the cloud [wherein this understanding was reserved for this moment] the garment thereof, and thick darkness [ignorance] a swaddling-band for it [to protect it from its own flailing],
10 And brake up [shabar] for it [for humanity] my decreed [choq] place, and set bars and doors,
11 And said [to the words of the wicked], Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves [risen among the sea] be stayed?
12 Have you [after the proud waves of men are stopped] commanded the morning [understanding to come] since your days [by your light]; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new], that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal [My signature, name, identity, pressed into the earth]; and they stand as a garment.
15 And from the wicked their light is withheld, and the high arm [zroma’] shall be broken [shabar].
16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea? or have you walked in the search of the depth?
17 Have the gates of death been opened unto you [that you can as I do: disannul man’s covenant with it, and break his accord with hell]? or have you seen the doors of [men’s worthless opinions that are] the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth [its beginning and end] of the earth [ages]? declare if you know it all.
19 Where [but with God alone] is the way where light [this understanding] dwells? and as for darkness [ignorance], where [but with the wise of this corrupt world] is the place thereof,
20 That you should take it to the bound thereof [this end when the condition of the earth testifies of these men’s fecklessness], and that you shouldest know the paths to the house thereof [their ways of confusion that brought all here into mass delusion]?
21 Knowest you it, because you were then born [by coming out of confusion]? or because the number of your days [the everlasting light in you] is great [do you understand that these are the days of the deep sleep, from which I have awakened in this new day]?
22 Have you entered into the treasures of the snow [these treasures of heaven, reserved in the cloud to be sent at the moment]? or have you seen the treasures of the hail [this same word sent against the current crop of corrupt leaders],
23 Which I have reserved [in the cloud] against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
24 By what way is the light parted [rightly divided into the bow in the cloud], which scatters the east wind upon the earth [My moving unknown, shining this understanding upon all, from east to west, at My will]?
25 Who has [rightly] divided a watercourse [t’alah – raised up what men have disused] for the overflowing [sheteph] of waters, or a way for the lightning [this understanding from the cloud] of thunder [qowl – which is My voice];
26 To cause it to rain [this word from heaven, from this place of full understanding] on the earth, where no [living] man [‘iysh – no male] is; on the wilderness [this time and place where all are without understanding], wherein there is no [living] man [‘adam – where none, until this word comes, are created by the Spirit in the word];
27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground [without this water, this word from heaven]; and to cause the bud of the tender herb [new life on this third day of My new creation] to spring forth?

Daniel uses the word sheteph, in Daniel 11:22, speaking of the same “overflowing” end, with the flood, the scourge that passes through: the ongoing war between the north and south, Israel and Judah, in which both are destroyed (like the US, one nation first breached into two and then scattered), by their own leaders. This chapter (11) is continued in Daniel 12, which tells us this is the tribulation, in which Michael stands, followed by the dead awakening.

Daniel 11
21 And in his estate [ken – the place of the upright, the holy place, where holiness is replace with the detestable] shall stand up a vile person [this is Obama, the head of the snake, the chief conspirator, the deep state puppet master – the king of the north, Israel], to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably [by an election], and obtain the kingdom by flatteries [chalaqlaqqah – cheleq leqash, seductive doctrine, subtle deception, lies as policy].
22 And with the arms [zrowa’] of a flood [sheteph] shall they be overflown [shataph – the holy people] from before him [paniym – from the LORD’s presence, as He speaks and works unknown among them], and shall be broken [shabar]; yea, also the prince of the covenant [this is the Messiah cut off, from the people, but not from himself].
23 And after the league [chabar] made with him [the king of the north] he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong [through deception] with a small [m’at – few] people [gowy – the mouth of the deep state, those teaching and broadcasting this league, who haven’t known the LORD].

We must pause here and look at the “league” mentioned above, from the word chabar, meaning “to join (literally or figuratively); specifically (by means of spells) to fascinate.” It only appears one other time in Daniel, in Daniel 11:6, describing it as the seduction of God’s people (when all but the very elect remnant are separated from Him).

Daniel 11
6 And in the end [qets] of years they shall join themselves together [chabar]; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement [mayshar – declaring him upright: calling his evil good]: but she shall not retain the power of the arm [zrowa’]; neither shall he stand, nor his arm [zrowa’]: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened [gave understanding to] her in these times.

Daniel 11
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers [as communists redistributing the wealth they seized by excessive taxation]; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices [broadcast their evil spells] against the strong holds, even for a time.
25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand [for humanity, but for themselves]: for they shall forecast devices [broadcast their evil seductions, as spells] against him.
26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat [that depend on him for their pork: a portion of the taxes] shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow [shataph – by the flood broadcast]: and many shall fall down slain.
27 And both of these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief [mera’ – only appearing here, from mah ra’a’, saying, this is that scattering, as in shabar above, breaking the people into warring factions], and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper [tsalach – their lying words shall not profit: not drive the people forward but instead backward]: for yet the end [qets] shall be at the time appointed [mow’ed].

The word chalaqlaqqah, said to mean “something very smooth; i.e. a treacherous spot; figuratively, blandishment,” appears three other times, in Daniel 11:34 rendered “flatteries,” and rendered “slippery” in Psalms 35:6 and Jeremiah 23:12.

Daniel 11
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength [all understanding], and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination [shiqquwts] that maketh desolate.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries [chalaqqah – only used here, speaking of knowingly false promises – deception as policy, the Obama doctrine]: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall cleave [lavah – to mix themselves among us to corrupt truth] to them with flatteries [chalaqlaqqah – with seducing spells].
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white [purity by which man sees the LORD], even to the time of the end [qets]: because it is yet for a time appointed [mow’ed].
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation [za’am] be accomplished [kalah – comes to a full end in the destruction of the wicked]: for that that is determined [charats] shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honor the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

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 [magen and tsinnah, the armor of the house of the forest, which we look to – see Isaiah 22:8], and stand up for my help.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am your salvation.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery [chalaqlaqqah]: 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.
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto you, which delivers the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoils him?

Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD.
2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, says the LORD.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, says the LORD.
5 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The LORD Our Righteousness.
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD lives, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 But, The LORD lives, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
9 My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourns; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, says the LORD.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery [chalaqlaqqah] ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, says the LORD.

The word charats, meaning “to point sharply, i.e. (literally) to wound; figuratively, to be alert, to decide,” speaks of the end of days that the LORD decreed, which no man knows.

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

Isaiah 10
16 Therefore shall the LORD, the LORD of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers [misleaders and deceivers that have overgrown the neglected garden] in one day;
18 And shall consume [kalah – make a full end of] the glory of his forest [among the falsely so-called upright], and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer [those looked to for guidance] faints.
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped [the wickedness] of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon [trust] him that smote them; but shall stay upon [put their trust in] the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption [killayown – only appearing here and in Deuteronomy 28:65 where it is “failing” eyes] decreed [charats] shall overflow [shataph – washing away what caused eyes to fail] with righteousness.
23 For the LORD God of hosts shall make a consumption [kalah – a full end], even determined [charats], in the midst of all the land [‘erets – the earth].
24 Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, O my people that dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian [the communists]: he shall smite you with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation [za’am] shall cease [kalah – have a full end], and my anger in their destruction.
26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge [showt] for him according to the slaughter of Midian [those who cause endless strife among God’s people, against which Ephriam, and later others of God’s people, were called to come against] at the rock of Oreb [whose kings trust in ignorance and darkness they’ve caused]: and as his rod was upon the sea [right dividing it], so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt [and these waters, as fire from my mouth, shall consume them, as decreed – after the anointing {mashach – “until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate”} which is the final step before we rise as ONE BODY].
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden [the enemies in power, communist oppressors, mixed among us] shall be taken away from off your shoulder, and his yoke [joining God’s people with them] from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing [shemem].

The “anointing” mentioned above in verse 26 is referenced from its use in Daniel 9:24, which also talks about it occurring after the blinding corruption comes to a full end.

The following, ending with Malachi 3, is from the post of 2 August 2023:

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

The words sheba’ (“seven,” appearing once) and shabuwa’ (“weeks,” appearing five times, and once as “week”) from sheba’, meaning “a primitive cardinal number; seven (as the sacred full one); also (adverbially) seven times; by implication, a week; by extension, an indefinite number,” are the keys to the passage.

The numbers, seventy times seven, only appear once together in the New Testament. It comes in Matthew 18:22 as the LORD is asked how many times we should forgive those who offend us. The offense is the asebeia, now reaching seventy times seven, and after that [[the completion]], “there remains no more sacrifice for sins.”

Hebrews 10
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 underfoot 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.

As we know, what Daniel knew about the seventy sevens, he “understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.”

The word “years” is shaneh, from the shanah, meaning “to fold, i.e. duplicate (literally or figuratively); by implication, to transmute (transitive or intransitive).”

Jeremiah 2
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets [who have now changed My words these seventy times seven times, and transformed {metatithemi} it from an eusebeia [[good news: godliness]] into an asebeia [[the wickedness of the ungodly, against which Enoch saw the LORD and His saints coming]]. [[Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven {this place of full understanding} against all ungodliness {asebeias} and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in {their} unrighteousness;]]
27 Saying to a stock [the dead idols you put in My place], You are my father; and to a [lifeless] stone, You have brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble [ra’ – evil] they will say, Arise, and save us.
28 But where are your gods that you have made you? let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble [ra’ – evil]: for according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah.
29 Wherefore will you plead with me? you all have transgressed against me, says the LORD.
30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion [[saying you are speaking the LORD’s word, when I never said it]].
31 O generation, see you the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness [ignorance]? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto you?
32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
33 Why trimmest you your way to seek love? therefore have you also taught the wicked ones your ways.
34 Also in your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
35 Yet you say, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with you, because you sayest, I have not sinned.
36 Why gad you [to go away from Me] about so much to change [shanah] your way? you also shall be ashamed of Egypt [this land of tyrants and oppression], as you were ashamed of Assyria [the communists, thieves and robbers, now infesting all institutions, making them incurably corrupt].
37 Yea, you shall go forth from him, and your hands upon your head: for the LORD has rejected your confidences [all these things in which you trust], and you shall not prosper in them.

We’re told (in the passages below) of things that will not “change” (as does the temporal), which are the unseen and the eternal things (dabar – words and matters spoken from the mouth) of God.

Psalms 89
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of your throne: mercy and truth shall go before your face [paniym – in Your presence]
15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound [the voice of the LORD]: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light [understanding] of your countenance [paniym – of Your presence].
16 In your name [identity] shall they rejoice all the day: and in your righteousness shall they be exalted [as they exalt Your words above all others].
17 For you are the glory [manifested presence] of their strength [which is their understanding]: and in your favor our horn [power and reign] shall be exalted [above all others].
18 For the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19 Then you spoke 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 [I Am his promised seed] my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him [as in Daniel 9:24 above]:
21 With whom my hand [work] 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, and plague them that hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn [power and reign] be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also in the sea [his work among the people at large], and his right hand in the rivers [this work sending God’s word into the sea].
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 [upon the earth].
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to return them to the right course] their transgression with the rod [the unbreakable law on nature and nature’s God], and their iniquity with stripes [of men].
33 Nevertheless, my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter [shanah] 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, and his throne as the sun [the rising understanding of this new day] before me.
37 It shall be established forever as the moon [civil government wherein are justice and good judgment, as I intended], and as a faithful witness in heaven [with full understanding]. Selah.

Malachi 3
1 Behold, I will send my messenger [mal’ak- My angel, who is a man of war as well as a man of God], and he shall prepare the way before me [paniym – in Him My presence is manifested]: and the LORD [‘adown – the king], whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger [mal’ak] of the covenant [of My promises], whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD [Jehovah] of hosts [who is 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, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
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 their words to cast evil spells], and against the adulterers [those who’ve left Me to follow other men], and against false swearers [the now known liars and false accusers], and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages [through confiscatory taxation], the widow, and the fatherless [oppressing those without any man to protect and defend them], and that turn aside the stranger from his right [leading into evil those who don’t know Me or my ways], and fear not me [My inescapable law that inevitably brings their destruction by their own evil, of which I have often warned], says the LORD of hosts [who is a man of war, the Commander in Chief of the army of heaven].
6 For I am the LORD, I change [shanah] not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.
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 have robbed me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse: for you have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10 Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse, 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 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; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often 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 [identity].
17 And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels [My people who are My crown and joy]; 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 [understanding to choose the good and refuse the evil], between him that serves God [speaking truth] and him [speaking their own evil ways and ideas, their asebeia] that serves him not.

Isaiah uses the word mashach twice; first in the LORD calling His people to do it to the shield (magen), who is the LORD’s presence manifested in the flesh, and then of it as His Spirit upon the one He sends to preach these good tidings.

The first use of the word magen comes in Genesis 15:1, a chapter we know first records the LORD’s covenant with Abram (Abraham), wherein He also describes the deep sleep that would befall his progeny, beginning with Isaac and ending now.

As we know, when this covenant is restated in Genesis 22, the LORD adds that it is when His people, the children who receive Him and the promised end, will possess the gates of their enemies (their mouths as the gates of hell). It is this aspect of the covenant, this unavoidable end, that the wicked, knowingly or unknowingly, are fighting against (as in Daniel 11:28, 30, and 32).

Genesis 15
1 After [‘achar – the after now come] these things [the rescue of Lot, the blessing of Melchizedek, and the rejection of the things of Sodom: choosing good and refusing evil] the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am your shield [magen], and your exceeding great reward [sakar – meaning “payment of contract; concretely, salary, fare, maintenance; by implication, compensation, benefit:–hire, price, reward(-ed), wages, worth”].
2 And Abram said, LORD God, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus [a priesthood that is drunken, not speaking God’s word, and refusing to do His work: refusing to teach God’s people to refuse evil and choose good]?
3 And Abram said, Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come forth out of your own bowels [me’ah – the generation that will come out of the belly of hell, out of the furnace mention later in verse 17, where the LORD, as a Lamp, is always with us showing the way, until our coming out, like in Jonah 2] shall be your heir.
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven [this full understanding], and tell the stars, if you be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall your seed be.
6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah [the dove, whose voices are the sign of the end reached] prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly [dagah me’ah – the source of the agitation of humanity, the evil intention, below the surface of men’s words, to gain and keep power],
2 And said, I cried by reason of my affliction [tsarah – this tribulation] unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell [sheol] cried I, and you heard my voice.
3 For you had cast me into the deep [this full circuit into understanding], in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all your billows and your waves passed over me [‘abar – to bring me from death into life again].
4 Then I said, I am cast out of your sight [no longer seeing as you see]; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains [to the lowest degeneration of the earth ruled by tyrants in power over church and state]; the earth with her bars was about me forever: yet have you brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto you, into your holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto you with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that [to open my mouth when You call] that I have vowed [the mission on which we are sent]. Salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus] is of the LORD [Jehovah manifesting His salvation in our flesh].
10 And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land [where this word of the LORD isn’t yet heard].

Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert of the sea [humanity without this word of God]. As whirlwinds [from where the LORD’s voice is heard] in the south pass [sweeping away the old ideas and ways]; so it comes from the desert, from a terrible land [yare’ – the land causing fear, see verse 4 and Isaiah 8:12 & 13, “Say you not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.”]
2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer deals treacherously, and the spoiler spoils. Go up, O Elam [eternity, as in the ancient things {God’s word} stored of old, to be released now in this war – Jeremiah 49:38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, says the LORD.]: besiege, O Media [people in the middle – as in lukewarm, Revelation 3:14 thru 22]; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease [when the LORD silences the enemies and puts His words in our mouths].
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travails [to bring forth a man child]: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure has he turned into fear unto me.
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and anoint [mashach] the shield [magen].
6 For thus has the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.
7 And [in this war] he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A Lion [the second face of the unfolding presence of]: My LORD [roaring His word], I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
9 And, behold, here comes a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon [confusion’s rule] is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he has broken [shabar] unto the ground [‘erets – the earth].
10 O my threshing [opening the word, referring us to Isaiah 28, and destroying the gates of hell: the word from the mouths of the wicked], and the corn [ben – sons] of my [threshing] floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, [as I vowed] have I declared unto you.
11 The burden of Dumah [short for Edom {Esau} and meaning the silencing of the enemies in our midst – as in verse 2 above]. He called to me out of Seir [the high places of Esau: the devils in power], Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night [the time of ignorance, which is caused by the words of the enemies mixed among us, who claim they are at peace with us while they war against us]?
12 The watchman said, The morning [understand coming as the light of the sunrise] comes, and also the night [and these men will reject this word and choose to remain in ignorance]: if you will enquire [ba’ah], enquire [ba’ah – only used three other times – here referring us to Obadiah, verse 6, where it is rendered “sought up,” which tells us this is how the secret things of Esau are revealed {by enquiring}]: return [shuwb – turn us], come.
13 The burden upon Arabia [the desert spoken of in verse 1, without water, without God’s word]. In the forest in Arabia shall you lodge, O you travelling companies of Dedanim [these people are defined in Jeremiah 49:8 – they are those spoken of in the prior verse, who return, and in doing so escape the calamity that comes upon Esau].
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema [same as Teman – the place where the LORD appears with His ten-thousands, as Enoch said, “Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”] brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented [went before] with their bread him that fled.
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
16 For thus has the LORD said unto me, Within a year [that has now passed], according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar [darkness] shall fail:
17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar [darkness], shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel has spoken it.

Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the LORD God is upon me; because the LORD has anointed [mashach] 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 [nacham – 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 [chathan] decks 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 11
1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD tries the righteous: but the wicked and him that loves violence his soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loves righteousness; his countenance [presence] does behold the upright.

11 September 2025

The Charlie Kirk murder is an act of terrorism, a professional hit by the deep state, against someone they hated and feared. It is meant to instill fear in those who say the things he said and teach the things he taught.

John 3
11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love [agapao, Christian charity, saying and teaching these things to] 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 not his brother abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this world’s good [these things the world needs to hear], and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed [laying down our lives to give this good the world so badly needs] and in truth.

28 August – 1 September 2025

Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

The LORD begins today, above in Isaiah 1:18, referring to His correction in this conversation and its effect on the willing who obey Him.

The word “reason” is yakach, meaning “to be right (i.e. correct); reciprocal, to argue; causatively, to decide, justify or convict.”

As we know, the “snow” speaks of the words of God reserved (frozen) in heaven; reassembled elements (stoicheion) sent from the LORD, in this time of war, from the cloud as this conversation, against the darkness (ignorance of the ever-present LORD) that covers the earth.

Job 38
22 Have you entered into the treasures [this understanding] of the snow [sheleg]? or have you seen the treasures of the hail [sent against the current crop of corrupt leaders],
23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

The word rendered “trouble” is tsar, which we know (as in tsarah) is used to describe the time of battle and war: the tribulation in these last days (Deuteronomy 4:30), when the LORD’s voice is heard as fire from His mouth.

Deuteronomy 4
24 For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, even a jealous [qanna’ – only used six times, always speaking of] God.
25 When you shall beget children, and children’s children, and you shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image [the idols men created and put in God’s place], or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD your God, to provoke him to anger:
26 I call [the condition of] heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over [‘abar – from death into life] Jordan [overcoming the words of men that carried all in the “descent” into death and hell] to possess it; you shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed [the warning of where we’ve come to and will again go if we forget it].
27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and you shall be left few in number among the heathen [only a few now truly know the LORD, and all others are ignorant of Him], whither the LORD shall lead you.
28 And there you shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29 But if from thence [there and then] you shall [diligently work to] seek the LORD your God, you shall find him, if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. [Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.]
30 When you are in tribulation [tsar], and all these things are come upon you, even in the latter days [‘achariyth – this after life now come to those who find Him], if you turn to the LORD your God, and shall be obedient unto his voice;
31 (For the LORD your God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore unto them.
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?
33 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
34 Or has God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, [now] according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
35 Unto you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.
36 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and upon earth he showed you his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire.

Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh of the one He chooses to speak, and manifest His presence, through] the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy [the realization of His presence] that was set before him endured the cross [the necessary sacrifice to declare Him with us, in us speaking and working], despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured [long-suffered in the Father’s name] such contradiction of sinners [the arguments of the ignorant] against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not you the chastening [this correction, in this conversation] of the LORD, nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
6 For whom the LORD loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.

As we know, this “scourge” is that spoken of in Isaiah 28:18, that (here and now) comes to rescue those whose covenant is with death and their agreement with hell.

Isaiah 28
16 Therefore, thus says the LORD God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone [from where these life-giving waters flow], a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste [they shall not be ashamed, but shall reach this promised end].
17 Judgment [this right assessment of condition] also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail [against the current crop of corrupt leaders] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow [shataph] the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing [shataph] scourge [showt] shall pass through [‘abar – bringing you from death into life], 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 [‘abar – bringing to life those who receive it as the LORD’s voice, His work revealed], by day and by night [giving understanding to those held in darkness]: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – the voice of the LORD heard].

Again, we know the shmuw’ah (Jehovah’s voice heard) is the same “report,” spoken of in Isaiah 53:1, which says that to those who hear it as His, it is the arm (work) of the LORD revealed.

Hebrews 12
9 Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they truly for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit [sumphero – to drive together, the same meaning as prokope, see 1 Timothy 4:15 and Philippians 1:15 & 25 below], that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Hebrews 12
22 But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the [New] heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels [the LORD’s messengers, all speaking this same message as received], [Isaiah 8:18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel {His people who receive Him and this promised end} from the LORD of hosts, which dwells in mount Zion. 19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards {the wise of this dark world} that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? {and no longer look} for the living to the dead? 20 {They will look} To the law and to the {this} testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because {they are in agreement with hell, and } there is no light {understanding} in them.]
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven [this place of full understanding]:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven [to shake the wicked from them].
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made [by men, the corruption they’ve added], that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace [this gift], whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

The (four times used) word gumnazo, rendered “exercise” in Hebrews 12:11 above, speaking of corruption “worked out” of man, is the necessary work all must do to reach the perfection (like-mindedness) that pleases the LORD. It is used earlier in Hebrews 5:14, speaking of the High Priest through whom the LORD works, first purifying himself, and then helping to bring the same purity to others.

The latter chapter begins, speaking of Christ (Jehovah manifesting His presence in the flesh of those He has called and anointed by His declaration) as our High Priest, working, transmitting this conversation, and declaring Him with us, in us (His sons, created by His correction). It ends telling of this work (effectually to us, in us) in those who reach its completeness (teleios), by habitually (hexis) working out (corruption), resulting in their being able to discern (by deliberation, by judicial estimation – diakrisis) good and evil (thereby choosing good and refusing evil).

Hebrews 5
1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained [kathistemi – literally speaking being brough down to be raised up: stand – become as little children knowing nothing and willing to receive this ingrafted word] for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts [this word as received] and [the necessary] sacrifices for sins [to deliver this word of God to those who haven’t known Him]:
2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity [weakness, without strength, this deep understanding that can only be received].
3 And by reason hereof he ought [opheilema], as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins [hamartia – missing the mark, error, and therefore straying off the course to the promised end].
4 And no man takes this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron [who was made a light bringer].
5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he [Jehovah alive declaring Himself] that said [in Psalms 2:7] unto him, “You are my Son, today have I begotten you.”
6 As he says also in another place [in Psalms 110:4], “You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.”
7 Who in the days of [when light was in the earth in] his flesh, when he [realizing He was dead without the Father’s like mind] had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard [by the Father] in that [apo – was brough down; subordinated His mind to the Father’s] he feared [eulabeia – eu lambano: and was seized by good];
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience [as all men must, if they will enter this priesthood] by the things which he suffered [the necessary scourging];
9 And being made perfect [teleioo – completed, became like-minded, and well pleased the Father], he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing you are [remaining with childish thoughts] dull of hearing [but to those who receive Him, by His correction, they are heard from Him here and now].
12 For when for the time you ought [opheilema – as in verse 3 above, to “have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way”] to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles [stoicheion – these elements of understanding] of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe [only knowing childish things of an undeveloped mind].
14 But strong meat [this deep understanding] belongs to them that are of full age [teleios – completed], even those who by reason of use [hexis – by habit] have their senses [aistheterion – only used here, meaning “faculty of the mind for perceiving, understanding, judging”] exercised [gamnazo – working out corruption from the mind] to discern [diakrisis] both good and evil.

As we know, and in the context of hearing Him now, Hebrews is written initially as a letter of introduction (as a pattern) of Timothy, a high priest (Bishop), a gentile, to the Hebrews (from ‘eber, from ‘abar – pilgrims, those who’ve reached this other side of death). They (Hebrews) were reluctant to receive him, because His father was a Greek, and they felt this disqualified him. To further describe the pattern, Paul speaks of Christ coming as such: a High Priest outside of the tribe of Levi, in the pattern of Melchizedek, the first High Priest of God (long before Levi was born). The passage further tells of the priesthood changed into Christ in us, and our following Jesus as the forerunner, appearing in and as the LORD’s presence, at His mercy seat, in the conversation with Him.

Friends, I must once again emphasize that the word of God must be received as the LORD speaking, as it is to us today, right now, in this world, in this word, manifesting His presence with us, in us, in Spirit and Truth.

John 4
23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship [proskuneo – said be literally like a dog {kuon} before {pros} Him: actually means, bringing down self, become the forefront, the outward appearance {pro} of His dwelling place {skenos}] the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship [proskuneo] him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship [proskuneo] him must worship [proskuneo] him in spirit and in truth.

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

Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our report [shmuw’ah – who has heard these words as the voice of the LORD, as it is]? and to whom [but those who’ve heard it as such] is the arm of the LORD revealed? [1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe. & 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?]
2 For he shall grow up before him [paniym – into His presence manifested before the eyes of the world] as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground [‘erets – the earth without this word of God]: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from [paniym – hiding His presence meant to be revealed in us, and will be when awakened by] him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not [remember the meaning of the name Timothy, the name of the highest esteemed of God].
4 Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised [daka’] for our iniquities: the chastisement [correction] of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray [into apostacy]; we have turned every one to his own way [forgetting the only way is the LORD’s]; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep [rachel, like Rachel – her child whose birthright is the throne, traveling, journeying, through the generations] before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment [as was Joseph, Rachel’s child]: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living [sent here into death and hell]: for the transgression of my people was he stricken [with them].
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise [daka’] him; he has put him to grief: when you [God’s people] shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he has poured out his soul unto [as a willing servant sent here into] death: and he was numbered with the transgressors [as I now Am]; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Hebrews 12
12 Wherefore [being exercised] lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet [back onto the right way, the LORD’s highway], lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Follow [the path to] peace with all men, and holiness [purity – when all corruption is worked out], without which no man shall see the LORD:
15 Looking [for Him] diligently [habitually] lest any man fail [by refusing this correction] of the grace [this free gift] of God; lest any root of bitterness [pikria – only used three other times, the others speaking of those thinking salvation can be bought with money, and thereby their corrupt communication curses any who believe thier teaching] springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane [bebelos] person, as Esau [the enemies mixed among us, claiming they are at peace with us while warring against us], who for one morsel of meat [for the love of money] sold his birthright.
17 For you know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

The five times used word bebelos (profane) meaning “from the base of 939 [basis – meaning to stand, and baino {walk}, as in lambano {seized}], and belos (a threshold); accessible (as by crossing the door-way), i.e. (by implication, of Jewish notions) heathenish, wicked,” speaking of those seized by evil. All four other uses are in Paul’s warning and charging Timothy to avoid these trespasses, not crossing this threshold into wickedness (missing the prize, selling the birthright, not reaching resurrection).

In all except one of these other four uses (of bebelos), the word astocheo appears, meaning these trespasses are not even separated elements of understanding, but are instead complete fabrications from men’s imaginations.

1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly [specifically], that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry [as in the name Hymenaeus, from hymeneal, an idol that supposedly forbid marriage unless he was present and blessed it, here forbidding to join with the LORD in His ONE BODY], and commanding to abstain from meats [these deep things that strengthen and join us], which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe [this word is His word] and know the truth.
4 For every creature [creation] of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving [recognizing God has given it for our good]:
5 For it is sanctified [declared good – pure and holy] by the word of God and prayer [conversing with Him to receive understanding].
6 If you put the brethren in remembrance of these things, you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto you have attained.
7 But refuse profane [bebelos] and old wives’ fables, and exercise [gumnazo] yourself [work them out of yourself] rather unto godliness [defined in the mystery, in the law of the house of God, how we should conduct ourselves therein, revealed in 1 Timothy 3:16, alluding to the four faces {a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle} of the unfolding presence of the LORD, saying “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was {is} manifest in the flesh {a man, those who’ve received His word as the word of God, heard as lion roaring}, justified in the Spirit {while unknown working and speaking, like an ox doing this work in the earth}, seen of angels {those made pure, who become His messengers doing His work, delivering His message as received}, preached unto the Gentiles {those who haven’t known the LORD among us}, believed on in the world, received up into glory {exalted into heaven like an eagle flying, which is His presence realized in this way}.”].
8 For bodily exercise [gumnasia] profits little: but godliness is profitable [the profiting of Timothy, spoken of in verse 15 below] unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10 For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach [from those who don’t believe He is speaking], because we trust in the living God [now alive in us: risen in our flesh which was dead without Him], who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe [the LORD is with us and in us].
11 These things command and teach.
12 Let no man despise your youth [when I was also ignorant of His presence – although I unknowingly felt it often]; but be you an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in you, which was given you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery [the elders, who like Paul, prepared and delivered the inspired written word to us].
15 Meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them; that your profiting [prokope – only appearing here and in Philippians 1:12 & 25, meaning, driving forward] may appear to all.
16 Take heed unto yourself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this [this good work] you [as a faithful watchman warning all] shall both save yourself, and them that hear you.

The word prokope is from prokopto, from pro (forward) and kopto, an eight times used word, meaning “to “chop”; specially, to beat the breast in grief.” It’s used telling of lamenting death (of Babylon’s fall), of the branches cut and laid before the LORD at His coming, of the ax laid to the root of the tree that no longer brought forth fruit, and once, in Revelation 1:7, of when every eye sees (as in verse 15 above, speaking of the salvation that shall “appear to all”) the LORD coming in the clouds (in this understanding).

Revelation 1
3 Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 John [the dove, the sign of the end reached] to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits [the Church resurrected] which are before his throne;
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And has made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he comes with clouds [this understanding reserved there in separated elements, to be reassembled, revealed now in this time of war, to end the darkness]; and every eye shall see him [this profiting], and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail [kopto] because of him. Even so, Amen [this is the Truth].
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending [of ages], says the LORD, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos [the place where the word of is no longer heard, when the end is no longer understood, at “my killing”], for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 I was in the Spirit on the LORD’s day [this time when His light has returned], and heard behind me a great voice [of the LORD, from His archangel], as of a trumpet [calling all to gather to this battle with Him],
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What you see, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches (and they will be resurrected).

Philippians 1
2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the LORD Jesus Christ.
3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5 For your fellowship in the Gospel from the first day until now;
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, you all are partakers of my grace.
8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
10 That you may approve things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12 But I would you should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of [prokope – driving forward; scourging, goading, leading humanity into salvation by] the Gospel;
13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
14 And many of the brethren in the LORD, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preaches Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the Gospel.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretense, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance [prokope – driving forward] and joy of faith;
26 That your rejoicing [your realization of the LORD’s presence herein manifested with us, in us] may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
27 Only let your conversation [in which the LORD is manifested above His mercy seat] be as it becomes the Gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the Gospel;
28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30 Having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

All the following is from the post of 29 October 2023, with today’s additions in double brackets.

1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke [[of Christ]] count their own masters [[despotes – meaning “an absolute ruler”]] worthy of all honor, that the name [[identity]] of God and his doctrine [[didaskalia – teaching]] be not blasphemed [[vilified and demonized]].
2 And they that have believing masters [[despotes – see its use in 2 Timothy 2:21 below where it is “meet for the master’s use”]], 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 [[didasko]] and exhort [[parakaleo – call others to obey]].
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 [[out of darkness and death into His marvelous light and life]], 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 [[epiphaneia – the epiphany, when what is present becomes apparent]] 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 [[bebelos]] 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 [[astocheo – with fabrications that are not elements of understanding]] 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 is charity [agape – giving as received, which is Christian love] out of a pure heart [giving this word as received, without again adding corruption], 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 [[kallao]] to that which is good.]:
6 From which some having swerved [astocheo [[crossed the threshold into fabrication of their own imaginations]]] have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane [[bebelos]], for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which [dispensation] was committed to my trust.

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 [[is the first given this understanding]].
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 [[bebelos]] and vain babblings: for they will increase [[prokopto]] 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 [[into their own fabrications]]], 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 [[aphistemi – meaning “to remove, i.e. (actively) instigate to revolt; usually (reflexively) to desist, desert, etc.”]] 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 [[despotes]], and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the LORD out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife [the way of the wicked, argument, continuously questioning with known lies and false accusation, intended to produce endless confusion].
24 And the servant of the LORD must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil [endless questioning, using lies and false accusation, even when known to be such – with intention, leading captive silly women who are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth], who are taken captive by him at his will.

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

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

Hebrews 3
1 Wherefore [He is able to recuse, succor, us from our doubt], holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling [to declare Him present, and this word as His voice], consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession [homologia – giving us His word to declare], Christ Jesus;
2 Who was [is] faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was [is] counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honor than the house.
4 For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5 And Moses truly was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony [speaking the words God gave him] of those things which were to be spoken after;
6 But Christ as a son over his own house [has given us His word to be spoken after our obedience is fulfilled]; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence [that the words are His] and the rejoicing of the hope [of His presence] firm unto the end [when we again see Him after we’ve heard Him].
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost says, Today if you will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts [mind that remain blinded and in disobedience], as in the provocation, in the day of temptation [doubting His presence] in the wilderness [referring to Exodus 17:6 & 7, saying “Behold, I will stand before you there upon the rock in Horeb; and you shall smite the Rock {Christ}, and there shall come water {the word of God} out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. And he called the name of the place Massah {temptation}, and Meribah {strife and contention}, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, “Is the LORD among us, or not?”]:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err [planao – as in the planets, wandering stars, deceives in the darkness that, because of their wandering, can’t be trusted to show the way] in their heart [[minds]]; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart [misled mind] of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

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

1 Corinthians 10
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be you idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt [doubt] Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur you, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come [ending the old and corrupt and beginning the new].
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall.
13 There has no temptation [doubt] taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry [escape those who put themselves in God’s place, the men with which you are joined].
15 I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.
16 The cup of blessing which we [here] bless, is it not the communion [koinonia – meaning “partnership, i.e. (literally) participation, or (social) intercourse, or (pecuniary) benefaction.”] of the blood of Christ? The bread which we [here] break, is it not the communion [koinonia] of the body of Christ?
17 For we being many are [here] one bread, and ONE BODY: for we are all partakers of that one bread [this word from the mouth of the present LORD, by which man lives].

Psalms 46
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble [tsarah – this tribulation].
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains [the governments that have risen over the earth] be carried into the midst of the sea [the people at large];
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams [this word of God that flows into the sea] whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he has made in the earth.
9 He makes wars to cease unto the end of the [old and corrupt] earth; he breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in sunder; he burns the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The LORD of hosts is [a man of war, I Am] with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

25 – 27 August 2025

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 which he received of us.

The word above, in 2 Thessalonians 3:6, rendered “tradition,” is paradosis, meaning “transmission, i.e. (concretely) a precept; specially, the Jewish traditionary law:–ordinance, tradition.” It’s from the words para, meaning near or beside, and the twice-used word dosis, meaning “a giving; by implication, (concretely) a gift:–gift, giving.”

Philippians 4
5 Now you Philippians know also, that in the beginning [arche] of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia [from the houses of dead flesh], no church communicated [koinoneo – to share] with me as concerning giving [dosis – this gift] and receiving [it as the word of God, as it is], but you only. [See Galatians 6:6 below]
16 For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again unto my necessity.
17 Not because I desire a gift [doma]: but I desire fruit [your repeating this word as received] that may abound to your account.
18 But I have [apecho – received in full] all, and abound: I am full [pleroo], having received [dechomai] of Epaphroditus the things which were sent [the previous three words don’t appear in the original text] from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.
19 But my God shall supply [pleroo] all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
20 Now unto God and our Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

The subject above is – communicating the word of God, receiving it as given from Him, and giving it as received, by Jesus Christ, the LORD alive in our previously dead flesh.

The word “receiving,” in verse 5 above, is said to be the once-used word lempsis, derived from lambano, meaning “to receive.” It is written in the original text as lepseos, which is actually from the once-used word lepis, (dubiously) meaning a flake.

The meaning of lepseos is made clear in the one use of lepis in Acts 9:18, when Paul received the Holy Ghost (the LORD alive with him, in him speaking and working, leading him into all truth), through the work of Ananias (meaning “whom Jehovah has graciously given”). When this occurred, he received his sight, and the “scales” (lepis) fell from His eyes.

Friends, all the famous and not-so-famous teachers and preachers, who do so in the LORD’s name, are without His Spirit and therefore preach disjointed pieces (elements) of information (confusion), by which they show themselves (all) as the blind and ignorant.

The word “abound,” in verse 18 above, is perisseuo, meaning “to superabound (in quantity or quality), be in excess, be superfluous; also (transitively) to cause to superabound or excel.” It is meant to (now at this every moment) direct us to the LORD speaking to us from Ephesians 1, where the word is used in verse 8 describing what has abounded here to those of us who’ve received it as Him speaking and working to open our eyes.

Ephesians 1
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he has abounded [perisseuo] toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation [oikonomia – meaning “administration (of a household or estate); specially, a (religious) “economy,” the way His word moves, flows, to and through His people] of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things [the separated elements of understanding] in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

Galatians 6
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, you which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering yourself, lest you also be tempted [ignorant of the LORD’s presence with us, in us the One speaking and working].
2 Bear you one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ [the LORD alive with us, is our flesh].
3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone [monos], and not in another.
5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate [koinoneo] unto him that teaches in all good things.
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

The word oikonomia is from oikonomos, which is from the words oikos (house) nomos (law). In these words, in the context of this discussion, the LORD refers us to Ezekiel 43, which speaks of the LORD’s appears again (when the scales fall from men’s eyes), and His Glory is seen in His house (the temple, the minds of His people), a process of which He then tells the son of man is the “law of the house.”

Ezekiel 43
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east:
2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw [in the wheels, which were understood as events within events, times within a time, now rightly divided in our time] by the river Chebar [far off {now} – in the vision of the unfolding presence of the LORD, as four faces with which He revealed Himself]; and I fell upon my face [paniym – I fell at His presence realized].
4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house [to His family] by the way [derek – this way] of the gate whose prospect [paniym – entering the LORD’s presence] is toward [derek – is the way] the east [toward where this light is first seen].
5 So the spirit [as a doorkeeper] took me up, and brought me into the inner court [chatser]; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house [filled His family].
6 And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house [From His people, His family]; and the man [the first face of the LORD’s unfolding presence, seen in the wheel within a wheel, this understanding sent forward in time, to, in the fullness of time, give understanding to those who receive it as Him speaking {koinoneo – communicating} and working] stood by me. [1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was {is} manifest in the flesh {the first face}, justified in the Spirit {justified while unknown speaking: roaring as lion, the second face; working in the earth, as an ox, the third face}, seen of angels {realized present by those who become His messengers with this same message}, preached unto the Gentiles {declared into those who haven’t know Him}, believed on in the world, received up into glory {His voice exalted above all others, rising into heaven like an eagle, the fourth, final, face seen in the wheel within the wheel}].
7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel [here on the earth] forever, and my holy name [identity], shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcasses of their kings in their high places.
8 In their setting of their threshold [entry ways] by [against] my thresholds [My entry ways], and their [door] post by [against] my [door] posts, and the wall [of their corruption] between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name [identity] by their abominations that they have committed [and put in My place, and called by My name]: wherefore I have consumed them in my anger.
9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcasses [dead flesh without My Spirit] of their kings [leading them], far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever [in the flesh of the kings and priests of My choosing].
10 You son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed [kalam] of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern [assess and understand this wheel within a wheel].
11 And if they be ashamed [kalam] of all that they have done, show them the form of the house [from My people], and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in [the entryway] thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight [as I have], that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
12 This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain [My government] the whole limit [end] thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

The words rendered “the whole limit” are kol gbuwl, respectively meaning “the whole; hence, all, any or every (in the singular only, but often in a plural sense),” and “a cord (as twisted), i.e. (by implication) a boundary; by extension, the territory enclosed.”

“The whole limit” is described when these two words appear together in Deuteronomy 11:24, in a passage wherein the LORD plainly speaks of “the law of the house.”

Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always [kol – in all your ways].
2 And know you this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh [upon the powers that hold you in this double strait, the oppression of corrupt church and state institutions] the king[s] of Egypt, and unto all [kol] his land [‘erets – the earth under these men’s control];
4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots [power they use to rule]; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after [‘achar – as in ‘achariyth, now in this after life come] you, and how the LORD has destroyed them unto this day;
5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until you came into this place [here and now; the final verse of the last chapter saying it is “now {when} the LORD your God has made you as the stars of heaven for multitude.”];
6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben [the pattern of the sons of perdition who put themselves in the LORD’s place]: how the earth [‘erets] opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all [kol] the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all [kol] Israel:
7 But your eyes have seen all [kol] the great acts of the LORD which he did.
8 Therefore shall you keep all [kol] the commandments which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land [‘erets – this new earth I Am creating], whither you go to possess it;
9 And that you may prolong your days in the land [‘adamah – this new generation, the first of My new creation], which the LORD swore unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land [‘erets – the new earth] that flows with milk and honey [whereby My people learn to refuse evil and choose good].
10 For the land [‘erets – the new earth], whither you go in to possess it, is not as the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth] of Egypt, from whence you came out, where you sowed your [own corrupt] seed, and watered it [and mired, corrupted, its clarity] with your foot, as a garden of herbs [overgrow by thorns and briers, misleaders and deceivers]:
11 But the land [‘erets – this new earth], whither you go to possess it, is a land [‘erets] of hills and valleys [new leaders rising from among the lowly], and drinks water of the rain of heaven [these reassemble elements of understanding, sent from His throne in the cloud]:
12 A land [‘erets – a new earth] which the LORD your God cares for: the eyes [‘ayin – this fountain of living waters] of the LORD your God are always upon it, from the beginning [‘re’shiyth – the beginning of his creation, as in the Genesis 1:1, the first words, “In the beginning”] of the year [shaneh – a revolution of time] even unto the end [‘achariyth – the last days of darkness, the end of His creation in perfection] of the year [shaneh].
13 And it shall come to pass, if you shall hearken diligently [shama’ – and obey] unto my commandments which I command you this day [in this time when light again covers the earth], to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all [kol] your heart [mind] and with all [kol] your soul [this is the “law of His house”],
14 That I will give you the rain of your land [‘erets] in his due season, the first rain [this written word] and the latter rain [again giving understanding to it, which brings a good harvest], that you mayest gather in your corn, and your wine, and your oil.
15 And I will send grass in your fields for your cattle, that you mayest eat and be full.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods [men who put themselves in the LORD’s place], and worship them;
17 And then the LORD’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven [and understanding will again thereby leave the earth], that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest you perish quickly from off the good land [‘erets – earth] which the LORD gives you.
18 Therefore shall you lay up these my words in your heart [minds] and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand [in your works], that they may be as frontlets between your eyes [always in the forefront of your minds, so you see as the LORD sees].
19 And you shall teach them your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, when you lay down, and when you rise up.
20 And you shall write them upon the door posts of your house, and upon your gates:
21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land [‘adamah – this new generation, the first of My new creation] which the LORD swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of [this time of light returned, separating this word of God from the words of man, in this exposition, the firmament I call] heaven upon the earth.
22 For if you shall diligently keep all [kol] these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave [dabaq – meaning “to impinge, i.e. cling or adhere; figuratively, to catch by pursuit,” as in the Greek word kollao, meaning glue] unto him;
23 Then will the LORD drive out all [kol] these nations [who refuse to know, and choose to remain in darkness and death, because their deeds are evil] from before you [paniym – by manifesting My presence with you, in you], and you shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
24 Every [kol] place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost [‘acharown – the after come] sea [the last generation that becomes the first] shall your coast [gbuwl] be.
25 There shall no man be able to stand before [paniym – against My presence manifested with you, in] you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all [kol] the land [‘erets – the new earth] that you shall tread upon, as he has said unto you.
26 Behold, I set before [paniym – manifesting My presence to] you this day a blessing and a curse;
27 A blessing, if you obey [shama’ – hearing my voice in] the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
28 And a curse, if you will not obey [shama’ – refuse to hear My voice in] the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.
29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD your God has brought you in unto the land [‘erets – this new earth] whither you go to possess it, that you shall put the blessing upon mount [the government of] Gerizim [from garaz, a once used word referring us to Psalms 31:22], and the curse upon mount [the government of] Ebal [‘iy bal – failed and in ruin].
30 Are they not on the other side Jordan [before the LORD ended the darkness caused by words of men, which carried all the earth into death and hell], by the way where the sun goes down [removing understanding from the church institution], in the land [‘erets – the old earth] of the Canaanites [those who made the souls of men their merchandise], which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal [the war in the ever swirly waters, words that are always agitated into a storm], beside the plains of Moreh [man’s corrupt teaching now plainly understood to be evil]?
31 For you shall pass over [‘abar] Jordan [be quickened from death into life by overcoming the words that have carried all into the dead sea: the death of all humanity] to go in to possess the land [‘erets – this new earth] which the LORD your God gives you, and you shall possess it, and dwell therein.
32 And you shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before [paniym – by manifesting My presence to] you this day [this time when light has returned to the earth].

The word “disorderly,” in the title verse (2 Thessalonians 3:6), is from the word ataktos, from the word tasso reversed by the prefix “a.” Again, we know the word tasso from its use in hupotasso, meaning to subordinate. The word (tasso) means, “to arrange in an orderly manner, i.e. assign or dispose (to a certain position or lot):–addict, appoint, determine, ordain, set.”

The word (ataktos) appears later again in verse 11, where it also describes these (insubordinate) men as “busybodies,” from the once used Greek word periergazomai, from peri, here meaning in place of, or instead of, and ergazomai, meaning “to toil (as a task, occupation, etc.), (by implication) effect, be engaged in or with, etc.:–commit, do, labor for, minister about, trade (by), work.”

Before we proceed, this word (periergazomai) refers to the insipid, false doctrine that claims there is no need to work to achieve salvation, because it is a free gift. I tell you the truth, the means of salvation is freely given to all, but it must be separated from men’s words, by faith believing the LORD leads us as we diligently search for Him. His word purifies us of blinding corruption, into purity of thought, into the knowledge of Him manifested with us, effectually working in us, speaking and working our salvation.

In this context, the other use of the word dosis come in James 1:17.

James 1
12 Blessed is the man that endures temptation [tempted to deny the LORD is with us, in us]: for when he is tried [in fires caused by those who refuse to do this work], he shall receive the crown of life, which the LORD has promised to them that love [agapao – give His word as received from] him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil [misleading], neither tempts he any man:
14 But every man is tempted [to deny Him], when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust has conceived, it bringeth forth sin [hamartia – missing the mark, therefore without a share in prize, by mistake, by erring from God’s truth]: and sin [hamartia], when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err [planao – as in planet, to roam, wander in the darkness, deceivers who cannot be relied upon to navigate in the darkness], my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift [dosis] and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights [understanding and life], with [para – as in paradosis, traditions received from Him] whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures [new creations].
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart [mind], this man’s religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before [para – is with] God and the Father [by which we see Him] is this, To visit [episkeptomai – as the Chief Overseer] the fatherless and widows [those who don’t have a man to protect and defend them] in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted [aspilos – unblemished] from the world.

James 3
1 My brethren, be not many masters [didaskalos – teachers], knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 For in many things we offend [ptaio – meaning “to trip, i.e. (figuratively) to err, sin, fail (of salvation)”] all. If any man offend [patio] not in word, the same is a perfect [teleios – complete] man, and able also to bridle [chalinagogeo – curb, lead the leaders] the whole body [to lead the dead body of Christ, to navigate the way out of darkness into life].
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor lists [wills].
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things [proud words]. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles [corrupts] the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

This last verse speaks of those Paul, in 2 Thessalonians 3:2, says are atopos (“unreasonable”), meaning “out of place,” meaning they are those who refuse to move away from their “out of place” positions. He says they are the wicked he described in the previous chapter, who refuse to let this word of God have free course and be glorified as His, as it is.

2 Thessalonians 2
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the LORD shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness [light] of his coming:
9 Whose coming is [the LORD’s, unknown in the darkness] after [the effect of] the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love [agape – this word given as received] of the truth, that they might [by this word made flesh among us] be saved.
11 And for this cause [to destroy the works of Satan through those possessed by him] God shall send them strong delusion, 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 [of His new creation] chosen you to salvation through sanctification [separating you from corrupt into purity] of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions [paradosis] which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Philippians 3
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things [to which I was in bondage and separated from the LORD’s truth] but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my LORD: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ [the LORD alive in our flesh, through His word effectually working to bring us to this promised end], the righteousness which is of God by faith [in His presence with us, in us]:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death [for speaking this word of the LORD, in His name, His identity];
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained [not that He is already known, resurrected, alive, in me], either were already perfect[ed in His revelation of Himself]: but I follow after [His leading], if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high [ano – filled and lifted by] calling of God in Christ Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation realized, manifested, in the flesh of those perfected].
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 [this understanding] we have already attained [where we now stand], let us walk [stiecheo – meaning “to march in (military) rank (keep step), i.e. (figuratively) to conform to virtue and piety:–walk (orderly),” and not according to the corrupt element, rudiments, stoicheion, of the world, which melt away in the fire they cause] by the same rule [kanon – canon], let us mind [phroneo – exercise our mind, working out corrupt, to reach] the same thing [the mind of Christ, our perfection in the LORD, and He in us].
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and [understanding this good fruit] mark them which walk so as you have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk [in the way of the corrupt elements of the world, misleading the many who follow them], of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ [in us, long suffering to speak this truth in the Father’s name]:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly [the hell into which they swallow and hold all their followers], and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation [in the LORD’s presence] is in heaven; from whence [in this conversation at His mercy seat] 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 [effectual] working [of His word in us] whereby he is able even to subdue [hupotasso – meaning “to subordinate; reflexively, to obey”] all things unto himself.

2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the [this] word of the LORD may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you [received as the word of God, as told before, in 1 Thessalonians 2:13]:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable [atopos, who refuse to change their positions] and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But the LORD is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in the LORD touching you, that you both do and will do 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 walketh disorderly [ataktos], and not after the tradition [paradosis] which he received of us.
7 For yourselves know how you ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
8 Neither did we eat any man’s bread for naught; but wrought [ergazomai] with labor and travail night and day [diligently seeking], that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work [ergazomai – diligently seeking the LORD, building upon what He’s given us], neither should he eat [the LORD’s word – warned not to read or teach the word if you aren’t going to do the work needed to gain the understanding held in its deep: going below the surface, which is the necessary baptism].
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly [ataktos], working [ergazomai] not at all, but are busybodies [periergazomai – with fallacious opinion, rejecting works, trespassing into things they shouldn’t].
12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our LORD Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work [ergazomai – diligently seek], and eat their own bread [rightly dividing, discerning, the will of God].
13 But you, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

The word rendered “apprehend[ed],” in Philippians 3:12 & 13 above, is katalambano, which the Thayer’s Greek Lexicon says means “in a good sense, of Christ by his holy power and influence laying hold of the human mind and will, in order to prompt and govern it.”

John 1
5 And the light shined in darkness; and the darkness comprehended [katalambano] it not.

We see that, in order to be apprehended by the LORD, we must first comprehend Him (His word, which is light and life). This is the change. The word “change” in Philippians 3:21 above is the fives times used word metaschematizo, meaning “to transfigure or disguise; figuratively, to apply (by accommodation):–transfer, transform (self).” It speaks of assuming the identity of the one who has apprehended us, laid hold of our minds, and thereby possesses us.

The word is from meta, to which metron has an affinity as a part (measure, portion) of the whole process (meta, “denoting accompaniment; “amid” (local or causal); modified variously according to the case (genitive association, or accusative succession) with which it is joined; occupying an intermediate position between” what or where something was and where or what it will be), and schema, meaning “a figure (as a mode or circumstance), i.e. (by implication) external condition:–fashion.” (The Cambridge Dictionary definition of a schematic, is: showing the main form and features of something, usually in the form of a drawing, in a way that helps people to understand it: a schematic drawing/outline.)

In this fuller context, the word mataschematizo first appears in 1 Corinthians 4:6, and its other three uses come in 2 Corinthians 11:13, 14, & 15. These two places speak of the processes of changing men’s minds, respectively defining the schemes of good and evil to possess the minds of men.

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: for hitherto you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are you able.
3 For you are yet carnal [believing in word, but not in truth that the LORD is present, veiled in the flesh of those He chooses]: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and 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?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed [the LORD is present with us, in us], even as the LORD gave to every man [to believe]?
6 I have planted [laid the foundation], Apollos watered [built upon it]; but God gave the increase [enlarging His Own BODY].
7 So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that wateres; but God that gives the increase.
8 Now he that plants and he that waters are [Christ’s] one [BODY]: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor [diligently seeking the LORD, which is the work He’s given every man].
9 For we are laborers together with God: you are God’s husbandry, you are God’s building [educated by Him in this process].
10 According to the grace [this gift] of God which is given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh of His ONE BODY].
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day [this time of light] shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire [this word from the mouth of the LORD]; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work abide [remains] which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells [is living] in you?
17 If any man [by adding corrupt] defiles the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy [without corruption], which temple you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this [corrupted] world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this [corrupt] world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness [in their own creations, corruption they added].
20 And again, The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain [worthless].
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
23 And you are Christ’s [ONE BODY]; and Christ is God’s [temple].

1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so account of us [that we are possessed by God], as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful [long-suffering “until” the process is complete].
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment [as if I am speaking my own words and not the LORD’s alive in me]: yea, I judge not my own self.
4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified [when He is realized alive in me speaking and working]: but he that judges me [worthy] is the LORD [commending me].
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the LORD comes, who both will bring to light [giving understanding to] the hidden things of darkness [held in men’s ignornance], and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts [revealing wisdom is far from the wise of this world]: and then shall every man [comprehending this] have praise [epainos – be commended] of God.
6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred [metaschematizo – revealing this process, God’s scheme to save the world] to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that you might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up [thinking more highly of yourself than you should] for one against another [forgetting it is the LORD with us, in us speaking His word and doing His work].
7 For who makes you to differ from another [are we not all ONE BODY]? and what have you that you did not receive [from the LORD, not from man]? now if you did receive it [from Him], why do you glory [in men and act carnally], as if you hadst not received it [as a gift from the LORD]?
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 world, and to angels, 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 [long] suffer it:
13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the [now totally 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 [children the LORD has given me, as a father], I warn you.
15 For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have you not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus 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 Timothy, 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.
18 Now some are puffed up [with pride in the things they think they know], 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, but the power [of the LORD alive in me].
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, and in the spirit of meekness?

2 Corinthians 11
12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion [to deceive]; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we [men possessed by a spirit in them speaking and working; the LORD in us and Satan in them].
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming [mataschematizo] themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed [mataschematizo] into an angel of light [a messenger giving falsely so-called understanding, who left his first estate; now speaking his own words and not the words of God as received from Him].
15 Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed [mataschematizo] as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

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

20 – 23 August 2025

I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand: for you have filled me with indignation.

The above, Jeremiah 15:17, is Jeremiah speaking of those mocking him because he is speaking in the LORD’s name, and declaring His presence therein. The word rendered “alone” in badad, meaning “separate; adverb, separately:–alone, desolate, only, solitary.” This portion of the passage says he is the only one among the desolate in whom the LORD is manifesting His presence (paniym – “because”) in His work (“hand”).

John 14
10 Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

“The assembly of mockers” is from the words cowd and sachaq, respectively meaning “a session, i.e. company of persons (in close deliberation); by implication, intimacy, consultation, a secret,” and “to laugh (in pleasure or detraction); by implication, to play.”

The word rendered “indignation,” as the LORD’s in Jeremiah (a name, identity, meaning, Jehovah rising to save His people, by rising in them raising them from death into life) is za’am, meaning “strictly froth at the mouth, i.e. (figuratively) fury (especially of God’s displeasure with sin).” 

We know this word (za’am) from its use (twice) in Isaiah 10; verse 5 telling of the communists among us (as the LORD’s rod (correction), the staff (their counsel) in their hand (work) His “indignation”) filling the void left when God’s people left Him (His counsel); verse 10 then telling us the LORD’s “indignation” ceases (kalah – as in its two uses in Daniel 12:7) in their destruction.

The LORD begins His revelation of these present-day events (the great catastrophe foretold in His words) in Daniel’s words, when he “alone” found himself as the one man through whom the LORD spoke and worked.

Daniel 10
5 Then I lifted up my eyes [was raise into seeing as the LORD sees], and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen [bad – #906, clothed alone], whose loins were girded [prepared with these treasures of heaven] with fine gold of Uphaz [referring us to Jeremiah 10:9 and its only other use speaking of the idols men created and put in this holy place]:
6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face [paniym – His presence] as the appearance of lightning [understanding], and his eyes as lamps of fire [by His sight showing the way through the darkness], and his arms and his feet [His work and way, by which He leads us] like in color [rightly dividing the light] to polished brass [revealing His identity], and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude [repeating His word as received].
7 And I Daniel alone [bad – #905] saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision [by the LORD sight given]; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 Therefore I was left alone [bad – #905], and saw this great vision, and [of now when] there remained no strength [understanding] in me [those sitting in the place of God’s judgment]: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength [as in Daniel 12:7, the time into which the LORD manifests His presence in the destruction of the wicked].
9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face [paniym – in His presence], and my face [paniym – His presence] toward the ground [‘erets – against the old and corrupt earth].
10 And, behold, a hand touched me [the affect, the work, that begins the rising], which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
11 And he said unto me, O Daniel [judgment of God], a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto you, and stand upright [be resurrected into life with Me]: for unto you am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day [of the LORD’s new creation] that you did set your heart to understand, and to chasten [subordinate you ideas to the LORD’s] yourself before [paniym – realizing the presence of] your God, your words were heard, and I Am come for your words [to again put the LORD’s words in your mouth].

Daniel 12 
1 And at that time [of the promised end reached] shall Michael [who is made in God’s likeness] stand up [‘amad – resurrected in these last days], the great prince which stand for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – the tribulation], such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the [now opened] book.
2 And many of them that sleep [this is Abram deep sleep – Genesis 15:12] in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [give understanding] as the brightness of the firmament [the exposition that divides the words of men from the words of God, which God called Heaven]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets]: many shall run to and fro [diligently seeking this knowledge], and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold [I saw], there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river [during the time when the book is sealed and opened].
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen [bad – #906, a lone voice], which was upon the waters of the river [of time carrying this word of God forward], How long shall it be to the end [qets] of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen [bad – #906, a lone voice] which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that lives for ever that it shall be for a time [mow’ed – an appointed time when the book was closed], times [mow’ed – now when it is opened and we congregate into the LORD’s ONE LIVING BODY], and an half [chetsiy – when this word is split open again and rightly divided]; and when he shall have accomplished [kalah] to scatter the power [by corrupting the true word of God, and it isn’t in them effectually working to bring them to life] of the holy people, all these things shall be finished [kalah].
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my LORD [‘adown], what shall be the end [‘achariyth – the last days] of these things?

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

Daniel 12
9 And he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified [barar – purged of the corruption that holds them in death’s sleep], and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily [necessary] sacrifice [declaring “thus says the LORD”] shall be taken away, and the abomination [men’s word’s and ways, as idols put in God’s place] that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days [the time, and one of the times].
12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days [the other of the times – adding the time 1290 + (to the times 1290 + 1335) = the number of years since Abram’s {Abraham’s} deep sleep began and it was here revealed – see Genesis 15:12].
13 But go you your way till the end [qets – the full end, now when we are awakened] be: for you shall rest, and stand [‘amad – from the sleep in death be resurrected] in your lot at the end [qets – the full end] of the days [here spoken of].

This brings us to (the understanding of) this time of the great catastrophe, now when the communists have power over the world, and the world is oblivious of it. For those who don’t know it, the central banks, the Federal Reserve at their head, are communist creations, as are their ideological apparatchiks, like Obama and his appointees, including Jerome Powell. 

Those in these banking positions, and the institutions designed by their ilk to seize communist control of economies, lacking checks or balances, operate with total autonomy toward their communist ends (the destruction of capitalism, liberty, and private property). 

Marx’s Communist Manifesto espoused the Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of central banks, controlling national currency, and with an exclusive (isolated and inaccessibly fortified) monopoly. The Fed was created by the 1913 Federal Reserve Act and was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson (a communist). It quickly became the key factor (reducing the money supply through high interest rates) causing, exacerbating (by not lowering rates as the economy slowed or after it crashed), and continuing (by keeping rates high for years) the Great Depression of 1929. The Fed is (Powell and his board, politburo, are) trying to take us there again, intentionally, knowing the way from its own past. 

These people, Powell specifically, cannot and should not ever be trusted to act or speak in good faith. Their underlying intentions are deception, ungodly manipulation, and destruction.

The Greek word katastrophe (catastrophe) only appears twice, rendered “subverting” in 2 Timothy 2:14, and as “overthrow” in 2 Peter 2:6. Its meaning is given as, “from 2690; an overturn (“catastrophe”), i.e. demolition; figuratively, apostasy.” It is from the twice used word katastrepho, meaning “to turn upside down, i.e. upset,” and is rendered “overthrew” in Matthew 21:12 and Mark 11:15.

In the previous post, we saw the word strepho, meaning to turn or reverse, as the origin of strebloo, the word used to tell of those who “wrestle” with the word of God to their own destruction (apoleia).

The following, ending with Hebrews 2, is from the previous post.

Isaiah 28
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell [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, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation [for the new earth]: he that believes shall not make haste [chuwsh – when I hasten the end of the wicked]. [Isaiah 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one {tsa’iyr} a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten {chuwsh} it in his time {when the LORD is revealed by His everlasting light manifested in the flesh}.]
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail [this word frozen in heaven until now] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place [the lies of the wicked].
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell [sheol] shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge [of correction] shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down [as dung upon the dunghill] 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 [because of the filthy conversation of the wicked] only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – to hear this word as the voice of Jehovah, His arm revealed, and obey].

2 Peter 3 
3 Knowing this first, that there shall [have] come in the last days scoffers [not believing the LORD is present with us, in us], walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep [into death], all things continue as they were from the beginning of the [old] creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God [this same word of God] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved [for this appointed time of the LORD’s just war against the darkness] unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is [always with us, hidden only in men’s ignorance] longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night [unknown in this time of men’s ignorance of God]; in the which the heavens [the corrupt understanding of men] shall pass away with a great noise [this voice of the LORD], and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men] shall melt with fervent heat, the [old corrupt] earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless, we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells [the LORD’s] righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].

The word rendered “unstable” is the twice-used word asteriktos, meaning “unfixed, i.e. (figuratively) vacillating,” as in not solid (elements as vapor). 

The word rendered “wrestle” is the once-used word strebloo, meaning “to wrench, i.e. (specially), to torture (by the rack), but only figuratively, to pervert.” It (strebloo) is from the strepho, meaning to turn or reverse, as in turning the truth of God into a lie. 

The word rendered “unlearned” is amathes, meaning “from 1 (as a negative particle) and 3129 [matheo – meaning to learn, and thereby understand]; ignorant.”

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “diverse” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke (separated elements) through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding, all these divers elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection [hupotasso] the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place [Psalms 8:4 – 6] testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit him [as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to relay the foundations which evil man corrupted and destroyed]?
7 You made him [man] a little lower than the angels [in Hebrew, chacer’ elohiym: sent into flesh lacking the full understanding of God]; you [giving Your understanding] crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him [man, in Christ] over the works of your hands:
8 You have put all things [the world, and the fulness thereof] in subjection [hupotasso] under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection [hupotasso] under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now [because man is yet without Christ, not led by His Spirit, and blind] we see not yet [that] all things [are] put under [hupotasso] him.
9 But we see Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation veiled in the flesh], who was made a little lower than the angels for [sent without understanding] the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor [the Father’s understanding revealed here and now]; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto [the same] glory, to make the captain [archegos – arche ago; the leader of the beginning, only used three other times, “a chief leader:–author, captain, prince”] of their salvation perfect through [long] sufferings [not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance, in which is salvation].
11 For both he that sanctifies [makes pure, removes corruption] 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 [Jehovah’s identity, alive in me] unto my brethren, in the midst of the church [His ONE BODY] will I sing [repeat His words, exalting them above all others] praise unto you.

The two uses of katastrepho (bringing down those who’ve perverted the word of God, and turned His truth into a lie) tell of when the LORD “overthrew” the tables of the “money changers.” 

The Thayer’s Greek Lexicon says the meaning of kollubister is “a money-changer, banker.” The word is from kollao and the Hebrew word batsar (see Jeremiah 49:9 below), the first meaning “to glue, i.e. (passively or reflexively) to stick (figuratively),” or join with, and the other means “to clip off; specifically (as denominative from 1210) to gather grapes; also to be isolated (i.e. inaccessible by height or fortification).”

The word (kollubister) refers to those who charge endless interest, leaving the debtor stuck with excessive rates. It, in our time, speaks of what the Fed is manipulating while shielded from any oversight or checks, and of what is legally allowed but is morally and ethically a crime against all who submit to it.

The modern system of commercial banking is this: loan money with a long amortization (payments determined by the term: years), with the initial years being mostly interest paid. These loans typically have a “balloon,” meaning the balance becomes due after only a few years, requiring it to be refinanced, re-amortized, with all the same fees, expenses, and term as the first time. 

Jeremiah 49
8 Flee you, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan [double judgment – of perverted church and state institution]; for I will bring the calamity of Esau [the enemies mixed among us, who claim they are our friends and neighbors: brethren] upon him, the time that I will visit [paqad – appear as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to] him.
9 If grape-gatherers [batsar] come to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough [the bankers never have enough].
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places [see Obadiah verse 6 below], and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbors, and he is not.
11 Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.
12 For thus says the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and are you he that shall altogether go unpunished? you shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink of it.
13 For I have sworn by myself, says the LORD, that Bozrah [the one flock] shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
14 I have heard a rumor [shmuw’ah – this report] from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather you together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
15 For, lo, I will make you small among the heathen, and despised among men.
16 Your terribleness has deceived you, and the pride of your heart, O you that dwell in the clefts of the rock, that holds the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from thence, says the LORD.
17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goes by it shall be astonished [surprised by their own ignorance], and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion [the second face of the unfolding presence of the LORD] from the swelling of Jordan [again the proud speaking the word that have carried all into death and hell] against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him [the proud] run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint [paqad – make chief overseer] over her? for who is like me [like Michael is]? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me [paniym – as My presence manifested]?
20 Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman [where wisdom should be and isn’t]: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out [I am]: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21 The earth is moved at the noise [qowl – this voice] of their fall, at the cry the noise [qowl – this voice] thereof was heard in the Red sea [bringing these waters upon the enemies pursuing God’s people].
22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle [the final face of the unfolding presence of the LORD, when His voice is exalted above all others], and spread his wings [these words as what lifts Him] over Bozrah [the entire flock]: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom [Esau] be as the heart of a woman in her pangs [the words of the wicked bringing forth the LORD’s flock to combat them with His word].

Obadiah
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up [ba’ah]!
7 All the men of your confederacy [those you’re joined with] have brought you even to the border: the men that were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you; they that eat your bread have laid a wound under you: there is none understanding in him.
8 Shall I not in that day, says the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 And your mighty men, O Teman [the place of the so-called wise of the world], shall be dismayed [be ignorant], to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.

21 And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.

When katastrophe appears in 2 Peter 2:6, it is in speaking of the “overthrow” of Sodom and Gomorrah, “making them an example unto those that after live ungodly.”

As previously discussed, Peter, in 2 Peter 2, speaks of these cities’ overthrow and Lot being the only man delivered from their destruction. He says his (Lot’s) deliverance is from the “filthy conversation” of the wicked who vexed him daily. 

2 Peter 2
6 And turning the cities of Sodom [in flame] and Gomorrah [in ruin] into ashes condemned them with an overthrow [katastrophe], making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly [asebeo – only appearing here and in Jude 1: “saying, Behold, the LORD cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly {asebeo} committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”];
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation [anastrophe – the evil behavior of those acting out a corrupt foundation] of the wicked [which marks them in head and hand: in ideas and works, as evil]:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The LORD knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations [from doubting He is present], and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government [God’s dominion]. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities [doxa – the LORD’s glory revealed].

As we know, the wicked he speaks of are the false teachers among us who’ve produced and now defend the corrupt foundation, who he describes as the sons of perdition (who turned the truth of God into a lie and are destined to perish) in the fires created by following their ideas and works (false teaching and false prophesying intended to delude further the minds of the now insane).

2 Peter 1
18 And this voice which came from heaven [when we received full understanding] we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star [phosphoros] arise in your hearts [changing the foundations of your mind]:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy [propheteia – things spoken before, later seen as the Father’s glory in {the crown on the head of} those through whom He spoke and in those through whom He reveals the mysteries held therein] of the scripture is of any private [of men’s] interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost [the LORD in them, unknown to the world and working all things toward this moment of awakening by His righteous interpretation, for which the mysteries are reserved].

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

The word rendered “overthrow,” in the “example” destined to befall the ungodly, in Jeremiah 49:18 above, is the six times used word mahpekah, said to be from haphak, meaning to “to turn about or over; by implication, to change, overturn, return, pervert.” Every time the word mahpekah appears, it’s telling of when the LORD “overthrew” Sodom and Gomorrah. 

The word (mahpekah) is spiritually, through the context of Peter’s using it (of the word as waters), and its (the word) compounding from mah (what) and pakah, a once-used word meaning “to pour;” rendered “run out” in Ezekiel 47:2.

The following, ending with Ezekiel 37, is from the post of 19 January 2022, with today’s additions in double brackets.

Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things [[batsar – gathering this fruit together and freely giving it, without interest, and all I ask is that you return it, to Me in My people, as received]], which you know not.

The LORD continues from the above, Jeremiah 33:3, in verse 6, saying, “Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.” 

He is speaking of His people when all their leaders are dead (in spirit) at the hands of the Chaldeans: those who’ve used their words to manipulate and control the world into destroying itself (draining its life and killing its spirit by feckless leadership).

The American Heritage Dictionary says feckless means; 1) Careless and irresponsible; 2) Feeble or ineffective; 3) Spiritless; weak; worthless.

The “cure” He speaks of is His revealing an abundance of peace and truth. These are the great and mighty things He’s shown those who’ve called unto Him.

The word “cure” is from the Hebrew word marpe’, meaning “curative, i.e. literally (concretely) a medicine, or (abstractly) a cure; figuratively (concretely) deliverance, or (abstractly) placidity.”

This cure is the same we saw spoken of in the previous post, in Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelation 22:2.

Ezekiel 47
1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward [from darkness], and led me about the way without [[chuwts – street, as in Revelation 22:2 below]] unto the utter [[chuwts – to street]] gate by the way that looks eastward [toward the light rising]; and, behold, there ran out [[pakah – are poured out]] waters on the right side.
3 And when the man that had the line [assessing the condition of this generation] in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters [this word of God]; the waters were to the ankles.
4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over [[‘abar – because of corruption, no man could any longer by them cross from death into life]]: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in [[sachuw – only used here, said to mean a pond {fouled waters}; more accurately from schuwq and sachaq {as in Jeremiah 15:17, “mockers” in the title verse}, meaning they are words mocking this truth]], a river that could not be passed over [[‘abar – no one can pass from death into life, because the word of God is defiled by those swimming in them, making sport of them]].
6 And he said unto me, Son of man, have you seen this [[yes LORD, I have seen them as you see them]]? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink [[saphah – the lips, the word from there]] of the river.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank [[saphah]] of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country [[this place were the light has risen and brough a new day]], and go down into the desert, and go into the sea [the people of the world at large – the nations]: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters [truth shall be restored to discourse and good leadership] shall be healed.
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that lives, which moves, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river comes.
10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim [these are fountains that flow from the sacrifices]; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea [life returned to where before all were dead – Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea {all humanity}; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea {because they were led into it}.], exceeding many.
11 But the miry places [[bitstsah – with affinity to batsar, waters clouded by corruption, by the feet of man]] thereof and the marshes [[gebe – the reservoirs of defiled waters]] thereof shall not be healed [the waters fouled by the wicked]; they shall be given to salt.
12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat [[giving the strength that comes by understanding]], whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed [they shall not fail]: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine [[truwphah – only used here, the remedy {truth}]].

Revelation 22 
1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations [[those who haven’t known the LORD]].
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name [[idenity]] shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the LORD God gives them light [understanding]: and they shall reign forever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the LORD God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things.
9 Then said he unto me [[as I say unto all]], See you do it not: for I am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God [[alone]].
10 And he said unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, LORD Jesus.
21 The grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Jeremiah 33
14 Behold, the days [have] come, says the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
15 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.
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.
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, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Thus says the LORD; If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
23 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Consider you not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD has chosen, he has even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25 Thus says the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

When the LORD, above in Jeremiah 33:15, speaks of the Branch of righteousness, He refers to what He said earlier in chapter 23. There He is speaking against the pastors, priests, and prophets who’ve destroyed and scattered His flock. He tells of now when He sends His one king and good shepherds to gather His flock again into ONE BODY, under the one shepherd spoken of in Ezekiel 34:23 & 37:24.

Jeremiah 23 
1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD.
2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited [[paqad]] them: behold, I will visit [[paqad]] upon you the evil of your doings, says the LORD.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking [[paqad – without a Chief Overseeer]], says the LORD.
5 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The LORD Our Righteousness.

11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, says the LORD.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness [[in their own ignorance]]: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation [[pquddah – the same as paqad]], says the LORD.

16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart [[their own imaginations]], and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17 They [the wicked leading them] say still unto them that despise me, The LORD has said, You shall have peace [when I have told them there is no peace for the wicked or those following them]; 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 and heard his word? who has marked his word, and heard it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind [from where His voice is heard] of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days [[‘achariyth – these last days of darkness; this after life now come]] you shall consider it perfectly.
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear [[shama’ – and obey]] 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 – these last days, now when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power]]?
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 [[identity]] by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal [the gods of this world, men who’ve put themselves in My place].
28 The prophet that has a dream, let him tell a dream [and it shall be as chaff blown away by the My wind]; and he that has my word, let him speak my word faithfully [for it is the wheat that shall remain]. 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 rock [[the false Christs, in whose words men put their trust]] in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that steal my words [this word] every one from his neighbor.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He says [[when He hasn’t said anything to them, and their words mock the truth]].
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, says the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness [what they say they understand [[and saying this word is a worthless burden]]]; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says the LORD.
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? you shall then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, says the LORD. [Matthew 11: 28 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden {with these wicked men’s lies}, 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.]
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish [[paqad – appear as the Chief Overseer of the earth]] that man and his house.
35 Thus shall you say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What has the LORD answered? and, What has the LORD spoken?
36 And the burden of the LORD shall you mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.

Ezekiel 34
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of [[paniym – My presence on]] the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
8 As I live, says the LORD God, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
9 Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
10 Thus says the LORD God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from [[the words from]] their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
11 For thus says the LORD God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is [[present]] among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day [[when understanding has left the earth and all are ignorant of Me]].

16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.

Ezekiel 37
22 And I will make them one nation in the land [[‘erets]] upon the mountains of Israel [[My government on the earth among My people who receive this promised end]]; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land [[‘erets – the earth]] that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children forever: and my servant David shall be their prince forever.
26 Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

Jeremiah 15
11 The LORD said, Truly it shall be well with your remnant; truly I will cause the enemy to entreat you well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction [tsarah – the time of Jacob’s trouble, this great tribulation we are in].
12 Shall iron [men’s words] break the northern iron [this sword of the LORD, which they ignorantly reject] and the steel [nchosheth – it’s the “brass” of Danile 10:6 above, also the “brass” serpent mentioned twice in Numbers 21:9, who is Christ, whose voice is exalted above all others, and it’s the “brasen” wall below in verse 20]?
13 Your substance and your treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders [this end].
14 And I will make you to pass with your enemies into a land which you know not: for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn upon you [to melt away the corrupt elements that made the world blind and ignorant].
15 O LORD, you know: remember me, and visit [paqad – as the Chief Overseer of the earth to] me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered rebuke.
16 Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was unto me the joy [the realization of Your presence therein] and rejoicing of my heart [mind]: for I am called by your name, O LORD God of hosts.
17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers [sachaq], nor rejoiced; I sat alone [badad] because [paniym] of your hand [I realized Your presence was first in me alone manifested in Your work]: for you have filled me with [Your] indignation [za’am].
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, [Your ONE BODY] which refuses to be healed? wilt you be altogether unto me as a liar [not raising us from the dead as promised], and as waters [like men’s words] that fail?
19 Therefore, thus says the LORD, If you return, then will I bring you again, and you shall stand [in the resurrection] before me [paniym – as My presence]: and if you take forth the precious from the vile [rightly dividing the word of God from the words of men, the waters above from the waters below, in the firmament, this expansion, this exposition, which God calls the new heaven, when men have learned to choose good and refuse evil], you shall be as my mouth: let them return unto you; but return not you unto them.
20 And I will make you unto this people a fenced [batsar – a gatherer of good fruit] brasen [nchosheth] wall: and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD.
21 And I will deliver [natsal – as firebrand plucked, harpazo {“caught up”}, from the fires] you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.

The word nchosheth is (compounded) from a shortened form of nachah and the word ‘ashath, together speaking of the one man, alone (badad), the LORD uses to lead us by shining this understanding through him. 

From the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary:

Strong’s #5148: nachah (pronounced naw-khaw’): a primitive root; to guide; by implication, to transport (into exile, or as colonists):– bestow, bring, govern, guide, lead (forth), put, straiten.

Strong’s #6245: `ashath (pronounced aw-shath’): a primitive root; probably to be sleek, i.e. glossy; hence (through the idea of polishing) to excogitate (as if forming in the mind):– shine, think.

Deuteronomy 32
4 He is the Rock [Christ, who can be trusted], 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 [the blemish of the wicked] 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 [His new creation], and established you [as His first generation resurrected from the dead]?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the LORD’s portion [inheritance] is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land [‘erets- the earth], and in the waste [tohuw – without form] howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye [as pupils taught to see as he sees].
11 As an eagle [the fourth and final face of the unfolding presence of the LORD] stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings [kanaph – this voice of His exposition], taketh them, bears them on her wings:
12 So the LORD alone [badad] did lead [nachah] him, and there was no strange god with him.

Psalms 5
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto you will I pray.
3 My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto you, and will look up.
4 For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.
5 The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.
6 You shall destroy them that speak leasing [lies]: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.
8 Lead [nachah] me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face [paniym – by manifesting Your presence with me, in me].
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat [where their words of death are held] is an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Destroy you them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy [in the realization of Your presence with us, in us], because you defend them: let them also that love your name [identity] be joyful in you.
12 For you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor wilt you compass [‘atar – crown] him as with a shield [tsinnah – from tsen, meaning thorns].

Psalms 8
A Psalm of David
1 O LORD, our LORD, how excellent is your name [shem – identity] in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens. [Psalms 118:26 Blessed be he that comes in the name {shem -identity} of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, You shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name {onoma – identity} of the LORD.]
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still [shabath – stop the work of] the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars [governments of state and church], which you have ordained [to rule with truth and justice, as You rule, to secure the rights You’ve given man];
4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him [paqad – making Your presence known in us, as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to reset the right foundations of the earth]?
5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels [chacer ‘elohiym – as planned, lacking the full understanding which only God possesses], and have [by giving me, and all who receive it from Him, His understanding] crowned [‘atar] him with glory and honor.
6 You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things [including his enemies] under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea [all the beasts of the earth, including men, all without the LORD’s Spirit], and whatsoever passes through [‘abar – all that Passover into life in this resurrection from death] the paths [‘orach – as pilgrims traveling] of the seas [through the ages and generations].
9 O LORD [Jehovah] our LORD [‘adown – our King], how excellent is your name [identity – seeing Your presence] in all the earth!
To the chief Musician [natsach – Chief Overseer] upon Muth-labben [upon the death of Goliath, cutting off his head with this sword].

18 August 2025

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

The LORD begins today with a brief description of the “clouds,” as He has revealed it.

In the above (Mark 13:26), it’s from the Greek word nephele, which is from the once-used word nephos; the Strong’s Greek Dictionary giving its meaning as “apparently a primary word; a cloud.” (Any time the word “apparently” appears in a definition, it is describing a lack of Spiritual discernment: a lack of God-given understanding/revelation.)

The word’s origin is the same as the name (of the sixth son of Jacob), Naphtali, meaning wrestling, from the word pathal, meaning to twine, i.e, (literally) to struggle or (figuratively) be (morally) torturous:– (show self) forward, show self unsavory, wrestle.”

We first see the name at his (Naphtali’s) birth, recorded in Genesis 30:8, when Rachel (the LORD’s sheep) prevailed against her sister, and Bilhah (troubled), her maid, birthed him.

Genesis 30
8 And Rachel [the LORD’s flock] said, With great [‘elohiym – with God] wrestling [naphtuwl – only used this once] have I wrestled [pathal] with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name [identity] Naphtali.

When considering the cloud, and the wresting therein, we must remember Peter’s words in 2 Peter 3, first speaking of the word of God, of which some men are willingly ignorant, that by it the worlds (ages) are overthrown and created. He then speaks of the stoicheion, the elements, foundational ideas upon which men speak and act, and those (that are corrupt) that melt away in the fires they themselves cause, which destroy the old heaven and earth. He later, speaking of Paul’s writing, says the unlearned and unstable wrestle with them, as they do other scripture, to their own perdition (apoleia).

The point is, we all wrestle with the word of God, as man has since His creation, to the end that we either receive understanding, ending the struggle, or self-destruction. Peter says we are those who reach understanding, the expected end, in the new heaven and earth, wherein dwells the LORD’s righteousness.

Several things about Peter’s words, in which he refers to Genesis 49 and Jacob’s words as he tells his children what shall befall them in these last days (‘achariyth – this after life come). Peter speaks of the unstable who perish, in the pattern of the “sons of perdition,” the pattern of Reuben, who put himself in his father’s place. Jacob says Reuben is “unstable” as water, and shall not remain (in the pattern of the son of perdition). The word there rendered “unstable” is the once used word pachaz, meaning “ebullition,” water boiled into vapor, separated elements, that in a similar process, evaporate from the earth, form clouds where the separated elements (of understanding) are held, until they are reformed and sent to the earth as precipitation (giving understanding through the reassembled elements).

It is this process that unfolds here daily, the LORD reassembling the elements men, over generations, separated into complete ignorance, causing the confusion (Babylon) that now rules the world.

In Genesis 49:21, Jacob has one short sentence telling of Naphtali in this ‘achariyth (this after life come), saying “Naphtali is a hind let loose [shalach – sent forth, as in ‘azab and apoluo]: he gives goodly words [repeating them as received].”

Isaiah 9
4 For you have broken the yoke of his burden [men’s words], and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian [by this sword of the LORD].
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire [that melt away the corrupt elements of the world, the rudiments {stoicheion} by which God’s people are held in bondage].
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name [identity] shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
8 The LORD sent [shalach] a word into Jacob, and it has lighted upon Israel.

Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our report [shmuw’ah – shama’ Jehovah; who has heard these words as the voice of the LORD, as it is]? and to whom [but those who’ve heard it as such] is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him [paniym – into His presence manifested before the eye of the world] as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground [‘erets – the earth without this word of God]: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from [paniym – hiding His presence meant to be revealed in us, and will be when awakened by] him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not [remember the meaning of the name Timothy: the highest esteemed of God].
4 Surely he has borne [cabal] our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised [daka’] for our iniquities: the chastisement [correction] of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray [into apostacy]; we have turned every one to his own way [forgetting the only way is the LORD’s]; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep [rachel – one of four times the word is used – her child whose birthright is the throne, traveling, journeying, through the generations] before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment [as was Joseph, Rachel’s child]: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living [sent here into death and hell]: for the transgression of my people was he stricken [with them].
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise [daka’] him; he has put him to grief: when you [God’s people] shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear [cabal] their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he has poured out his soul unto [as a willing servant sent here into] death: and he was numbered with the transgressors [as I now am]; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Genesis 49
18 (I have waited for [qavah – expected] your salvation [yshuw’ah – Joshua, Jesus, the child of Joseph], O LORD.)

22 Joseph is a fruitful bough [parah ben – fruitful son], even a fruitful bough [parah ben – fruitful son] by a well [a tree of life by these waters of God]; whose branches run over the wall [the wall of lies men have created and teach]:
23 The archers [ba’al – the gods, lords of this world, whose teaching has blinded all from seeing the Father, in the son, the seed of the woman who brings forth the man child – see Revelation 12:17] have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of your father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless [barak] you with blessings [brakah] of heaven above, blessings [brakah] of the deep that lies under [the deep meaning that lies below the surface], blessings [brakah] of the breasts, and of the womb [seed, the son]:
26 The blessings [brakah] of your father have prevailed above the blessings [brakah] of my progenitors [all those who have come before us, and were only blessed with part of what is perfected in our return to the LORD] unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they [these blessings] shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate [naziyr – as in Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph] from his brethren.

When the LORD tells of this moment, when the son of man is (I am, a man) seen in the cloud, he precedes it, saying:

Mark 13
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not [because Christ is in you, unseen: the LORD risen to life in your flesh: the minds of those who receive Him]:
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise [as they have, deceiving and being deceived], and shall show signs and wonders [the working of Satan], to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 But take you heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation [caused by following false Christs and false prophets], the sun shall be darkened [the church shall be seen as lacking this light: this understanding], and the moon [civil governments, now, no matter how good you think they may be, they are draining the life of all they govern] shall not give her light,
25 And the stars [all God’s people] of heaven shall fall [into complete ignorance of God with us, in us: His few elect remnant], and the powers that are in heaven [the place where understanding should be found and isn’t] shall be shaken [to shake the wicked, the misleaders, from the place where holiness, righteousness, should be].
26 And then shall they see [a man – ‘aman, truth] the Son of man coming in the clouds [with this understanding, as the latter rain] with great power and glory [that is the LORD’s alone].

Joel 2
1 Blow you the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain [the LORD’s government]: let all the inhabitants of the land [‘erets – the earth] tremble [ragaz] for the day of the LORD comes, for it is nigh at hand;
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess [‘aphelah – this is the darkness, the deeper delusion they are driven into, spoken of in Isaiah 8:22, when, in the tribulation, the LORD is speaking, and His people are instead listening to wizards peeping and muttering against Him, after they have cursed Him and their king], a day of clouds and of thick darkness [‘araphel – this refers to Isaiah 60:2, verses 1 and 2 saying, “Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness {‘araphel} the people: but the LORD shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.”], as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after [‘achar] it [because the darkness ends here and now], even to the years of many generations.
3 A fire devours [‘akal – eats them] before [paniym – now in the LORD’s presence] them; and behind [‘achar] them a flame burns [these last days of darkness now enlightened by the flames]: the land [‘erets – the earth] is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind [‘achar] them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4 The appearance [mar’eh] of them is as the appearance [mar’eh] of [war] horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5 Like the noise [qowl – their voices] of chariots on the tops of mountains [in power] shall they leap, like the noise [qowl – their voices] of a flame of fire that devours [‘akal – eating those listening to their advice] the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6 Before their face [paniym – in the LORD’s presence] the people [by their ignorance] shall be much pained: all faces [paniym – in His presence] shall gather blackness [ignorance – driven into deeper delusion because they haven’t known the time, haven’t recognized His voice].
7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9 They shall run to and fro [shaqaq – a six times used word referring us to Nahum {the comforter} 2:4] in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief [they shall destroy and devour all by the ignorance they teach and broadcast].
10 The earth [‘erets] shall quake [ragaz] before [paniym – in the LORD’s presence speaking to] them; the heavens shall tremble [ra’ash – that brings the dead bones together]: the sun [the church, the totally corrupt institution] and the moon [civil government, the institutions] shall be dark [be ignorant], and the stars shall withdraw their shining [God’s people fallen from heaven, shall not have any understanding]:
11 And [then] the LORD shall utter his voice [qowl] before [paniym – manifesting His presence to] his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executes [‘asah] his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12 Therefore also now, says the LORD, turn you even to me with all your heart [your changed minds], and with fasting [no longer listening to the advice of the wicked], and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 And rend your heart [your old and corrupt minds], and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents [nacham – comforts, as in previous posts] him of [against] the evil [from which His truth rescues us].
14 Who knows if [how] he will return [shuwb – turn us from the darkness to His light] and repent [nacham – by His Comforter, leading us into all truth], and leave a blessing behind [‘achar] him; even a meat offering [this deep meaning that strengthens us] and a drink offering [these life-giving waters, in which is light and life] unto the LORD your God? [We know from verse 2 above He will, and this evil shall never rise again to power.]
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 Gather [‘acaph] the people [into My ONE BODY], sanctify [qadash] the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom [chathan – the separated and hidden one] go forth of his chamber [cheder], and the bride out of her closet.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare your people, O LORD, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land [‘erets – His earth], and pity his people.
19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen [who haven’t known me]:
20 But I will remove far off [rachaq – at this time when the earth is ruled by the evil decrees of wicked men in places of power] from you the northern army [of darkness], and will drive him into a land [‘erets – the old and totally corrupt earth] barren and desolate, with his face [paniym – by My presence manifested] toward the east sea [My people who are looking toward the light rising], and his hinder part [cowph – this is the end, the termination we’ve seen foretold in 2 Chronicles 20, saying “15 And he said, Hearken you, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat, Thus says the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed {chathath – confused} by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16 Tomorrow go you down {descend into hell} against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz {‘alah ma’aleh tsiyts – their rising to power is as the rising of a flower}; and you shall find {matsa’ – attain} them at the end {cowph – this conclusion} of the brook {these waters: the word of the LORD heard}, before {paniym – manifesting His presence} the wilderness of Jeruel {taught by God, as in Jerusalem, by this word which flow from Him, teaching His ways of peace}.] toward the utmost [‘archarown] sea [this last generation], and his stink shall come up [even if we don’t see or hear it, we perceive it is upon us], and his ill savor [the smell of the dead] shall come up, because he has done [‘asah] great things.
21 Fear not, O land [‘adamah – first generation of My new creation]; be glad and rejoice [realizing I Am present]: for the LORD will do [‘asah] great things.
22 Be not afraid, you beasts of the field [without My Spirit]: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring [life that gives life], for the tree [of life] bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain [malqowsh – mah laqash, what gathering of the AFTER crop? This gathering] in the first month [of this new creation]. [Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight {paniym – in His presence}. 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter {malqowsh} and former rain unto the earth.]
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that has dealt [‘asah] wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 And you shall know that I Am in the midst of Israel, and that I Am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward [‘achar], that I will pour out [shaphak] my spirit [ruwach – in My words, which are life, light, and understanding] upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [speak these word as ccreceived], your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour [shaphak] out my spirit [ruwach – in My words, which are life, light, and understanding].
30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness [the church realized to be ignorant and dead without My Spirit], and the moon [civil government] into blood [realized to be draining life from humanity at large], before [paniym – before His presence is realized at] the great and terrible day of [this light, manifesting] the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name [the identity] of the LORD [with us, in us] shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Proverbs 1
10 My son, if sinners entice you, consent you not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily [in deceptions] for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave [sh’owl – sheol, hell]; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in your lot among us; let us all [be communists and] have one purse:
15 My son, walk not you in the way with them; refrain your foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed [shaphak – pour out] blood [in their word and way that drain the life from humanity at large].
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait [and we see their net, therefore, it becomes] for their own blood; they lurk privily [unknown to them in their ignorance] for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which [greedily] take away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:
21 She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words, saying,
22 How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit [ruwach – in My word] unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But you have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;
27 When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind [from where My word is heard]; when distress and anguish comes upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me [to their idols], but I will not answer; they shall seek me early [in your creations], but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

Ecclesiastes 3
10 I have seen the travail, which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set [nathan – given] the world [‘owlam – eternity, everlasting life] in their heart [minds], so that [without which] no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end [cowph – this conclusion].
12 I know that there is no good in them, but [except] for a man to rejoice [knowing the LORD is present with us always], and to do good in his life.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God.
14 I know that, whatsoever God does, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God does it, that men should fear before him [paniym – in His presence].
15 That which has been is now; and that which is to be has already been; and God requires [baqash – searched out] that which is past [radaph – what followed and therefore will follow].
16 And moreover I saw [in the things that have already been and are now] under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17 I said in my heart [mind], God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
18 I said in my heart [mind] concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts [who’ve died without His Spirit and, lacking His mind, have descended into hell].
19 For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man has no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
20 All go unto one place [hell]; all are of the dust [created from the ruin of the earth], and all turn to dust again [as they have].
21 Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward [raised from the ruin into life], and the [evil] spirit of the beast that goes downward into [hell – the belly of] the earth?
22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice [realizing the LORD’s presence with him] in his own works; for that is his portion [inheritance]: for who shall [who but God can] bring him to see what shall be [the result, the conclusion of His work that comes] after [‘achar] him?

Amos 7
1 Thus has the LORD God showed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth [leqesh, the same as laqash – the after crop]; and, lo, it was the latter growth [leqesh – the after crop] after [‘achar] the king’s mowings.
2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end [kalah] of eating [‘akal] the grass of the land [‘erets – the earth], then I said, O LORD God, forgive, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
3 The LORD repented [nacham – comforted us, leading into all truth] for this: It shall not be, says the LORD.
4 Thus has the LORD God showed unto me: and, behold, the LORD God called to contend by fire, and it devoured [‘akal] the great deep [the corrupted deep understanding], and did eat [‘akal] up a part.
5 Then said I, O LORD God, cease, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
6 The LORD repented [nacham – comforted: corrected and taught] for this: This also shall not be, says the LORD God.
7 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall [made precept upon precept, line upon line: His teaching, our protection] made by a plumbline [a weight that takes the hook and line into the deep, to catch the life below the surface], with a plumbline in his hand.

Colossians 2
1 For I would that you knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face [the LORD’s presence] in the flesh;
2 That their hearts might be comforted [parkaleo – Paraclete], being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of 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, so walk you in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational idea of men, the “elements” Peter, in 2 Peter 3:10 & 12, says melt away] of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And you are complete 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 of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also you are risen with him through the faith of the operation 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 [brought from death into life] 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;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, 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; but the body is of Christ.
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the increase of God.
20 Wherefore if you be dead with Christ from the rudiments [stoicheion] of the world, why, as though living in the world, are you subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and [false] doctrines of men?
23 Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honor to the satisfying of the flesh.

Revelation 3
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans [the people upon which this day of God’s judgment has come] 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 [kollourion], that you may see [as I 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 – victory over the words that carried all into death and hell] 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.

The word face, in Colossians 2:1, is prosopon, which leads us to Acts 3:19 where it is rendered presence. There it’s the LORD’s presence, His glory manifested through Peter and John, which is said to be the refreshing, as they give the true riches of the LORD to the lame beggar (the pattern of the TV preachers – who are always asking for silver and gold), and healed him.

Acts 3
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I you: In the name [identity] of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength [as if the dirt {the corruption of the journey} was washed from their feet. Or, the clay was removed from the iron, the feet that were clay mixed with iron, and only strength remained. Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles [the final, fourth, face Ezekiel saw in the wheel within the wheel, understanding given by the unfolding presence of the LORD revealed by the voice of the man speaking, working, and exalted]; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.]
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful [see Isaiah 51:1 & 52:7] gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, You men of Israel, why marvel you at this? or why look you so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus [the God of the living, showing His risen Son in them and through them]; whom you delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God has raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16 And his name through faith in his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know: yea, the faith which is by him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17 And now, brethren, I wot [know] that through ignorance you did it, as did also your rulers.
18 But those things, which God before had shown by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he has so fulfilled.
19 Repent you therefore, and be converted [revert, return to the true God], that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing [anapsuxis – recover breath, come to life by receiving the His Holy Spirit – referring us to Isaiah 28:12 ] shall come from the presence [prosopon] of the LORD.
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things [squandered away], which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the LORD your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall you hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25 You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in your seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Isaiah 28
5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem [tsphiyrah – the morning come] of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
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 – this voice of Jehovah heard]? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
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 [this truth you don’t understand and have mocked] will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest [mnuwchah – manoah: this rest] wherewith you may cause the weary to rest [nuwach – Noah: those who reach the expected end]; and this is the refreshing [marge’ah – only used here; ma raga’: what quieting of {rest from} the proud waves of the sea: who are agitating humanity]: yet they would not hear.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, 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, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation [for the new earth]: he that believes shall not make haste [chuwsh – when I hasten the end of the wicked]. [Isaiah 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one {tsa’iyr} a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten {chuwsh} it in his time {when the LORD is revealed by His everlasting light manifested in the flesh}.]
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail [this word frozen in heaven until now] shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place [the lies of the wicked].
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell [sheol] shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge [of correction] shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down [as dung upon the dunghill] 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 [because of the filthy conversation of the wicked] only to understand the report [shmuw’ah – to hear this word as the voice of Jehovah, His arm revealed, and obey].

2 Peter 3
3 Knowing this first, that there shall [have] come in the last days scoffers [not believing the LORD is present with us, in us], walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep [into death], all things continue as they were from the beginning of the [old] creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God [this same word of God] the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved [for this appointed time of the LORD’s just war against the darkness] unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition [apoleia] of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is [always with us, hidden only in men’s ignorance] longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night [unknown in this time of men’s ignorance of God]; in the which the heavens [the corrupt understanding of men] shall pass away with a great noise [this voice of the LORD], and the elements [stoicheion – the corrupt foundational ideas and ways of men] shall melt with fervent heat, the [old corrupt] earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [stoicheion] shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless, we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells [the LORD’s] righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrestle, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction [apoleia – perdition].

The word rendered “unstable” is the twice-used word asteriktos, meaning “unfixed, i.e. (figuratively) vacillating,” as in not solid (elements as vapor).

The word rendered “wrestle” is the once-used word strebloo, meaning “to wrench, i.e. (specially), to torture (by the rack), but only figuratively, to pervert.” It (strebloo) is from the strepho, meaning to turn or reverse, as in turning the truth of God into a lie. 

The word rendered “unlearned” is mathes, meaning “from 1 (as a negative particle) and 3129 [matheo – meaning to learn, and thereby understand]; ignorant.”

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [His messengers sent] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3 How [if we refuse to obey] shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD [the Father revealed in the son first, to bring all His children He has given me to the same glory], and was confirmed [repeating the same message the LORD gave them] unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with [Isaiah 8:18, saying “I and the children the LORD has given me, are for”] signs and wonders [to His people at large], and with divers miracles [this alludes to the “diverse” manner spoken of in Hebrews 1:1; of the many different ways and times, by which the Father previously spoke (separated elements) through men, until now when He, in the son He filled full of understanding, all these divers elements, congealed them in him, into this miraculous, eye-opening, gospel], and gifts [these treasures sent] of the Holy Ghost [as He works unknown leading us into all truth], according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection [hupotasso] the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place [Psalms 8:4 – 6] testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit him [as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to relay the foundations which evil man corrupted and destroyed]?
7 You made him [man] a little lower than the angels [in Hebrew, chacer’ elohiym: sent into flesh lacking the full understanding of God]; you [giving Your understanding] crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him [man, in Christ] over the works of your hands:
8 You have put all things [the world, and the fulness thereof] in subjection [hupotasso] under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection [hupotasso] under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now [because man is yet without Christ, not led by His Spirit, and blind] we see not yet all things [are] put under [hupotasso] him.
9 But we see Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation veiled in the flesh], who was made a little lower than the angels for [sent without understanding] the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor [the Father’s understanding revealed here and now]; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto [the same] glory, to make the captain [archegos – arche ago; the leader of the beginning, only used three other times, “a chief leader:–author, captain, prince”] of their salvation perfect through [long] sufferings [not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance, in which is salvation].
11 For both he that sanctifies [makes pure, removes corruption] 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 [Jehovah’s identity, alive in me] unto my brethren, in the midst of the church [His ONE BODY] will I sing [repeat His words, exalting them above all others] praise unto you.

Psalms 104
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honor and majesty.
2 Who covers yourself with light [understanding] as with a garment: who stretches out the heavens like a curtain:
3 Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters [His word]: who makes the clouds [where understanding is kept when it is removed from the earth] his chariot: who walks upon the wings [kanaph] 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 [the sound of understanding] they hastened 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 that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 He sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
13 He waters the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works.
14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15 And wine that [changes minds] makes glad the heart of man, and oil [that fuels the light] to make his face to shine [paniym – His presence giving us light, understanding], and bread [God’s word expanded upon] which strengthens man’s heart [rational mind].
16 The trees [upright] of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon [purity], 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 governments] for seasons: the sun [the church] knows his going down.
20 You make darkness [ignorance], and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
21 The young lions [the second face of the unfolding presence of the LORD God] roar [His word] after their prey, and seek their meat [this deep understanding] from God.
22 The sun [the church] arises, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
23 Man goes forth unto his work and [like an ox] to his labor until the evening.
24 O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your riches [the treasure from His storehouse].
25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26 There go the ships [in the church institution]: there is that leviathan [the priesthood], whom you have made to play therein.
27 These wait all upon you; that you may give them their meat [this deep understanding] in due season.
28 That you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good.
29 You hide your face [paniym – His presence], they are troubled: you take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust [‘aphar – the ashes of the earth’s ruin without Him].
30 You send forth your spirit, they are created [again from the ashes]: and you renew the face of [paniym – by Your presence] 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 [ra’ad]: he touches the hills, and they smoke.
33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless you the LORD, O my soul. Praise you the LORD.

13 – 15 August 2025

I will declare your name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise you.

The word rendered “name” is shem, meaning “a primitive word (perhaps rather from 7760 [suwm or siym – meaning to put] through the idea of definite and conspicuous position; compare 8064); an appellation, as a mark or memorial of individuality; by implication honor, authority, character:–+ base, (in-)fame(-ous), named(-d), renown, report.”

As the LORD has led us to understand, the word (shem) speaks of identity. In the title verse, Psalms 22:22, a Psalm of David, it tells of the resurrected LORD (His identity) realized and “declared.”

As we know, the LORD, from the cross, quoted from the first verse of this Psalm, which the crowd misinterpreted as Him calling to Elijah to come take Him down, when in fact He was invoking the Psalm while declaring, not only the Father’s identity (‘el), but also that by it (the Psalm) He understood what was occurring.

The following, ending with Psalms 19, is from the post of 15 July 2025, with today’s additions in double brackets.

Mark 15
32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calls Elijah.
36 And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar [their bitter words], and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40 There were also women looking on afar off [[here and now]]: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women [[churches]] which came up with him unto [[New Heavenly]] Jerusalem.
42 And now when the even [[now when darkness covers the earth]] was come, because it was the preparation [of their awakening], that is, the day before the sabbath [when the light comes before the interruption is realized, when the LORD, intervening for correction, stops the words and works of men],
43 Joseph of Arimathaea [Ephraim and Manasseh, the children of Joseph, those who’ve forgotten God, their own identity, upon whom this second blessing has come to awaken them in Ramah], an honorable counsellor [not respecting the corruption of men], which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate marveled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulcher [the church institutions, where the dead are held] which was hewn out of a rock [the mouths of men, from where His manifested presence disappeared], and rolled a stone [the words of men, with which they hoped to keep Him] unto the door of the sepulcher [among the dead]. [Why do you seek the living among the dead?]

When verse 34 above quotes Psalms 22:1, it is the LORD referring us to the passage declaring where He was then going and where He is now found. Then and now, the experts, the LORD’s enemies and accusers, misinterpreted who He was calling upon. They fail to realize He was telling of His faith in His Father (not Elijah), taking Him into this time where He is loosed, and now made apparent, alive in me, in us.

When Hebrews 13:23 tells us to “know brother Timothy is [I Am] set at liberty” the Greek word (rendered “set at liberty”) is apoluo (meaning loosed away), the same word used as Pilate declares he has the power “to release” Jesus, and when telling of the custom “to release” (by popular vote) one prisoner.

The quoted Hebrew words, from Psalms 22:1 (“My God, my God, why you forsaken me?”), in the original text are – ‘El ‘el lo’mah’ azab, meaning: God, God, [they know] not what [that you have] loosed [me]. The words that follow in the original text are: rachowq yshuw’ah, meaning: [into this time] far off [when the world is ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power, to be a] deliverer [Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh]. His flesh (one who becomes two, and then as many as the sand of the seashore) is the veil torn in two, behind which is revealed Jehovah’s presence.

The words lo’ mah (lama), “know not [[what]],” are referring to what Luke describes hearing the LORD say from the cross: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”

The word sabachthani, is more thoroughly explained as ‘azab chatham, the sentence thereby saying: they know not that (lo’ mah) I Am loosed (‘azab) because it is sealed until the time of the end (chatham, with intentional affinity to chathan: bridegroom).

Here is the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary definition of chatham: to close up; especially to seal:–make an end, mark, seal (up), stop.

And the definition of ‘azab is: to loosen, i.e., relinquish, permit, etc.

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 [chathan] decks 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 22
1 My God, my God, why have [lo’ mah] you forsaken me [‘azab]? why are you so far [rachowq] from helping me [yshuw’ah], and from the words of my roaring [preaching Your word as commanded, as the second face of the LORD’s unfolding presence]?
2 O my God, I cry [[qara’]] in the day time, but you hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 But you are holy, O you that inhabit the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in you: they trusted, and you did deliver them.
5 They cried unto you, and were delivered: they trusted in you, and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon you from the womb: you are my God from my mother’s belly.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; and you have brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs [endlessly barking in the darkness: this time when total ignorance of God covers the earth] have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 But be not you far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste you to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion’s mouth [those preaching corruption in Your name]: for you have heard me from the horns of the unicorns [the One and Only true power, Your Almighty presence].
22 I will declare your name [Your identity alive, resurrected, in me] unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise you.
23 You that fear the LORD, praise him; all you the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you the seed of Israel.
24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid [cathar – see Psalms 19:6 & 12 below] his face [paniym – presence] from him [from me]; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows [obeying Him as I vowed I would, preaching the word He’s given me, declaring it is Him alive with me, in me] before them that fear him.
26 The meek [who will inherit the earth] shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that [diligently] seek him: your heart shall live forever.
27 All the ends of the world [ending the old and beginning the new] shall remember [zakar] and turn [shuwb – return] unto the LORD [Jehovah]: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before You [paniym – in Your presence].
28 For the kingdom is the LORD’s: and he is the governor among the nations [all the world that hasn’t known Him].
29 All they that be fat [who prosper under the LORD’s governance] upon the earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust [descend, choose to remain, in the hell, the ruin they’ve created] shall bow before him [paniym – in His presence]: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the LORD for a generation [the first of His new creation].
31 They shall come [from death into life], and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born [into His new creation], that he has done this.

Isaiah 62
1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace [chashah – I will not be silent], and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest [shaqat – repose, sleep], until the righteousness thereof go forth [by the voice of my awakening] as brightness [understanding], and the salvation [yshuw’ah – Jesus, Jehovah’s Salvation in the flesh] thereof as a lamp [[as in Genesis 15:17, during Abram’s deep sleep {verse 12} in the furnace]] that burns [as a flame from My mouth showing the way to those in darkness: ignorance].
2 And the Gentiles [those who haven’t known the present LORD] shall see your righteousness, and all kings your [the LORD’s] glory [as His presence manifested in our flesh]: and you shall be called by a new name [His identity before unknown in us], which the mouth of the LORD shall name [His name, His identity, when we join with Him as ONE flesh BODY].
3 You [His ONE BODY joined with Him in His work, His war to exalt His voice above all others] shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD [crowning us by His work revealing His identity, His glorious presence, with us, in us], and a royal diadem in the hand [the work] of your God.
4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken [Hebrews 13, speaking of His revealing what has always been, “for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. 6 So that we may boldly say, The LORD is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.]; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah [“My delight is in her,” speaking of God’s people historically, using this name that only appears once elsewhere, of the mother of {raising up – teaching} Manasseh {meaning he forgot the LORD God [[not only the name of Joseph’s son, but also of Hezekiah’s son]]}, the king who brought in idols and put them in God’s place; here become repentant and remembering God], and your land Beulah [ba’al – meaning joined with the LORD who is the head, has dominion over, the BODY]: for the LORD delights in you, and your land [‘erets – the earth] shall be married [ba’al – under Him, having joined with the head].
5 For as a young man marries [ba’al] a virgin, so shall your sons marry [ba’al] you [in the LORD’s OND flesh BODY]: and as the bridegroom [chathan – speaking of the revealed one; here and above are the only two times the word appears in Isaiah] rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
6 I have set [paqad – overseers seeing as I see] watchmen [shamar] upon your walls [as your protection, seeing what is coming and warning against it, which the enemies have and do violently oppose and resist {as the identity of Satan is manifested in them, in their words and works against humanity: against life, liberty, and property}], O [New Heavenly] Jerusalem [My people as My shining city on a hill that can never be hidden], which shall never hold their peace [chashah – never keep silent [[with affinity to chashab – making the thoughts known]]] day nor night: you that make mention [zakar – remember, me and all those joined in this bond] of the LORD [this is the part the current watchmen fail to realize is necessary, to mention it is the LORD alive in us, present with us, speaking and working the Salvation of His people who receive Him], keep not silence [dmiy – mention the present LORD; “if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light {understanding} in them.”],
7 And give him no rest [dmiy], till he establishes [kuwn], and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth [‘erets].
8 The LORD has sworn [shaba’ – completed] by his right hand [His power coming from there as rays of light], and by the arm of his strength [this work giving His understanding], Surely I will no more give your corn to be meat [this nourishment of this deep meaning] for your enemies [who, with intention, corrupt it]; and the sons of the stranger [whom I haven’t known or spoken to] shall not drink your wine [this word I sent to change men’s mind, returning them to reality and sanity, the joy of realizing My presence], for the which you have labored [faithfully and diligently seeking this understanding]:
9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD [for His life-giving gift]; and they that have brought it [the elements of understanding] together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10 Go through, go through the gates [out of hell and into the kingdom of heaven, where all things are understood, in the LORD’s ONE BODY]; prepare you the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones [the misleaders whose words cause the people to stumble]; lift up [ruwm – raise, exalt above all others] a standard [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted, as Moses lifted the fiery serpent in the wilderness, as the LORD commanded] for the people.
11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed unto the end of the [old and corrupt] world [‘erets – earth], Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold [see as the LORD sees], your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him [paniym – declares His presence].
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

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 [chathan – the only time the word appears in the Psalms, speaking of the covered One revealed] coming out of his chamber [us; 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 [cathar – meaning “to hide (by covering)”] 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 – filling 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 [shgiy’ah – straying away from the LORD]? Cleanse [by Your correction] me from secret faults [cathar – with affinity to catham, chatham, and chathan – hiding what should be made known, uncovering the One covered by straying away from Him].
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.

In the post of 4 August 2025, we discussed the origin of LORD, in Revelation 3:14, being called (identified as) “the Amen.” We saw it in the Hebrew word ‘amen, usually rendered “Amen,” and we focused on its anomalous renderings in Isaiah 65:16.

Revelation 3
13 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen [from the Hebrew word ‘amen], the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; [Isaiah 65:16 That he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth {‘amen}; and he that swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth {‘amen}; because the former troubles {tsarah – the tribulation} are forgotten, and because they are hid {cathar} from my eyes. 17 For, behold {you shall see it}, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.]
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 [stoma].
17 Because you say, I am rich [plouteo], 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 [of my anger], that you may be [truly] rich [plouteo]; and white [pure] raiment [true protection against the corrupt elements of the world, by which we see the LORD], that you mayest be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye-salve, that you mayest see [as I 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.

The one other time the word ‘amen (meaning “from 539; sure; abstract, faithfulness; adverb, truly”) is rendered something different (than Amen and truth) is in Jeremiah 11:5, where it’s “so be it.”

Jeremiah 11
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD saying,
2 Hear [shama’] you the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 And say you unto them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeys [shama’] not the words of this covenant,
4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land [‘erets – the earth] of Egypt [in this double strait, oppressed by the institutions of church and state], from the iron furnace, saying, Obey [shama’] my voice [qowl], and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall you be my people, and I will be your God:
5 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land [‘erets – this new earth] flowing with milk and honey [by which men learn to refuse evil and choose good], as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it [‘amen – truth], O LORD.
6 Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim [qara’] all these words in the cities of Judah [among the leaders of My people], and in the streets of Jerusalem [to all my people at large], saying, Hear [shama’] you the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land [‘erets – the earth] of Egypt [double strait], even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey [shama’] my voice [qowl].
8 Yet they obeyed [shama’] not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart [mind – relying on their own erroneous opinions]: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not.
9 And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy [qesher – the “confederacy” {of the ignorant} of Isaiah 8:12, listening to wizards that peep and mutter, instead of listening to the LORD: Immanuel: God with us, in us] is found among the men of Judah [the totally corrupt leader of God’s people, bound together by their own corrupt thinking], and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem [God’s people taught and misled by these misleaders]. [the only time the word qesher appears after this is in Ezekiel 22:25, saying “there is a conspiracy {qesher} of her {false} prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion {saying they are speaking My words} ravening {scattering} the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things {these gifts from My treasury}; they have made her many widows {without a living man to the lead, protect, and defend them} in the midst thereof.”]
10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers [first fathers – like those before the flood, like before the LORD rescued Abram], which refused to hear [shama’] my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers [Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob].
11 Therefore thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape [without obeying My voice]; and though they shall cry unto me [to the idol they put in My place and call by My name], I will not hearken [shama’] unto them.
12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods [men sitting in My place] unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble [ra’ – evil they choose].
13 For according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to that shameful thing [bosheth – trusting in your oppressors; see its use in Isaiah 30], even altars to burn incense unto Baal [the lords of this evil world]. [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, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh {the evil powers}, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! 3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame {bosheth}, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.]
14 Therefore [You who hear and obey the LORD’s voice] pray not you for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble [ra’ – evil they choose].
15 What has my beloved [those remain in their deep sleep] to do in my house, seeing she has wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed [‘abar] from you [from life gone into death’s sleep]? when you do evil, then you rejoice.
16 The LORD called your name [shem – identity], A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise [qowl – voice] of a great tumult [hamullah – only appearing one other time, in Ezekiel 1:24] he has kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. [Ezekiel 1:24 And when they {the cherubim} went, I heard the noise {qowl – voice, in this conversation above the mercy seat, wherein the LORD’s presence is manifested} of their wings {kanaph}, like the noise {qowl – voice} of great waters {this word from the mouth of the LORD}, as the voice {qowl} of the Almighty, the voice {qowl} of speech {hamullah}, as the noise {voice} of an host {the LORD’s army}: when they {the army} stood, they let down their wings {kanaph – the words of the cherubim were heard as the LORD’s word, as they are}.]
17 For the LORD of hosts [whose identity is as a man of war, at the head of His army] that planted you [here in the earth], has pronounced evil against you, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
18 And the LORD has given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then you showed me their doings.
19 But I was like a lamb or an ox [working in the earth, as the third face of the LORD unfold presence manifested] that is brought to the slaughter [the necessary sacrifice]; and I knew not that they had devised [chashab – thoughts, plotted] devices [machashabah – what plot against the LORD] against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree [I Am, the tree of life] with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land [‘erets – the earth] of the living, that his name [shem – identity] may be no more remembered.
20 But, O LORD of hosts, that judges righteously, that tries the reins and the heart [thoughts of men’s minds], let me see your vengeance on them: for unto you have I revealed my cause.
21 Therefore thus says the LORD of the men of Anathoth [whose answer has come to the LORD, which is that they will not hear and obey], that seek your life, saying, Prophesy not in the name [shem – in the identity] of the LORD, that you die not by our hand:
22 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish [paqad – manifest My presence as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to] them: the young men shall die by the sword [this word for My mouth, which they refuse]; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine [without this word of God]:
23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring [the] evil [they’ve chosen] upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation [pquddah – My appearing as the Chief Overseer of the earth].

Jeremiah 50
24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have strived [garah – waged war] against the LORD.
25 The LORD has opened [pathach – as when one like the son of man touched Daniel’s mouth and it was “opened” – Daniel 10:16] his armory [‘owtsar], and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation [za’am]: for this is the work of the LORD God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans [against those who’ve used their words to manipulate humanity into hell].
26 Come against her from the utmost border [qets – this full end], open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
27 Slay all her bullocks [those doing this work of misleading into hell]; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation [pquddah – now, when I Am here as the Chief Overseer of the earth].
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to [open their mouth and] declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
29 Call together the archers [whose bows are steel] against Babylon: all you that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do unto her: for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD.
31 Behold, I am against you, O you most proud, says the LORD God of hosts: for your day is come, the time that I will visit [paqad] you.
32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
33 Thus says the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts [a man of war] is his name [My identity]: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet [raqaz – pour His anger upon] the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 A sword [of David] is upon the Chaldeans, says the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures [‘owtsar]; and they shall be robbed.
38 A drought is upon her waters [this word of God heard not heard in them]; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad [become insane] upon their idols.
39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
41 Behold, a people shall come from the north [shall come out of ignorance], and a great [new] nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts [the end of the old and corrupt, where their proud waves are stayed, beginning the new] of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, everyone put in array, like a man to the battle, [as My awakened army] against you, O daughter of Babylon [that ruled the world into confusion, delusion, and culminated in mass insanity].
43 The king of Babylon has heard the report [shama’ shema’ – understood and obeyed – acted knowing the time is of his end] of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish [tsarah – tribulation he caused] took hold [chazaq] of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail [fearing what they have brought forth].
44 Behold, he [the LORD, I Am] shall come up like a lion from [the second face of the unfolding presence of the LORD, roaring against] the swelling [proud waves] of Jordan [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 [paqad – who I will make Chief Overseer] 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 {tsarah}, 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]
45 Therefore hear [shama’] you the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes [machashabah], that he has purposed [chashab] against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock [{as in Ahasuerus} “I will be silent and poor {without earthly power}”] shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46 At the noise [qowl – the LORD’s voice] of the taking of Babylon, the earth is moved [ra’ash – the shaking that brings the bead bones together and causes men to rightly discern the words they are hearing], and the cry is heard among the nations.

The word ‘amen is from ‘aman, meaning “to build up or support; to foster as a parent or nurse; figuratively to render (or be) firm or faithful, to trust or believe, to be permanent or quiet; morally to be true or certain; once (Isa. 30:21; interchangeable with 541) to go to the right hand:–hence, assurance, believe, bring up, establish, + [therefore, will not] fail, be faithful (of long continuance, steadfast, sure, surely, trusty, verified), nurse, (-ing father), (put), trust, turn to the right.”

The once-used word, ‘aman (541), mentioned in the above definition (as appearing in Isaiah 30:21), is another anomalous rendering that draws our curious attention to it.

Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt [to their oppressors], and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh [the house of the wicked who now rule the world], and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of [sitting idle, obeying] Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land [‘erets – the earth] of trouble [tsarah – in tribulation] and anguish, from whence come the young and [in the LORD’s name roaring against the] old lion [speaking God’s authentic word], the viper and [with poisonous words against the] fiery flying serpent [ther son of man lifted as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, like in Numbers 21:6 & 8, and John 3:14], they will carry their riches [the thing they thought were valuable] upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people [sitting still, not working as the LORD commands] that shall not profit them.
7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain [hebel – referring us to the other two times Isaiah uses it, in Isaiah 49:4 & 57:13], and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength [rahab – and pride] is to sit still. [Isaiah 49:4 Then I said, I have labored in vain, {following the false leading spoken in the LORD’s name} I have spent my strength for naught, and in vain {habel}: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work {I should be doing is} with my God. Isaiah 57:13 When you cry, let your companies {the false teachers you have followed} deliver {natsal} you; but the wind {of their false doctrines} shall carry them all away; vanity {hebel} shall take them: but he that puts his trust in me {the Rock from where this word flows} shall possess the land {‘erets – the earth}, and shall inherit my holy mountain;]
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come [‘acharown – for these latter days] forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before [paniym – to cease manifesting the LORD’s presence to] us.
12 Wherefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness [luwz], and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus says the LORD [‘Adonay – the King of kings] God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness [not speaking your own words] and in confidence shall be your strength: and you would not.
16 But you said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at [paniym – at the presence of the LORD manifested in His voice heard] the rebuke of one; at [paniym – His presence manifested in this same word repeated] the rebuke of five shall you flee: till you be left [yathar – remain] as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign [nec – the pole upon which the son of man must be lifted – so His voice is heard above all others] on a hill.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait [be patient until the silence is ended and His word is spoken], that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him [manifested in His voice heard, obeyed, and given as received].
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: you shall weep no more: he will be very gracious unto you at the voice of your cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer you.
20 And though the LORD give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers:
21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when [the word here is kiy, “that” {when you hear it, from ‘a-man}] you turn to the right hand [‘aman – you believe and trust the one speaking], and when you turn to the left.
22 You shall defile also the covering [spoken of in verse 1] of your graven images of silver, and the ornament of your molten images of gold: you shall cast them away as a menstruous cloth; you shall say unto it, Get you hence [Get behind me Satan].
23 Then shall he give the rain of your seed, that you shall sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall your cattle feed in large pastures.
24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which has been winnowed [separating the wheat from the chaff] with the shovel and with the fan.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of [these living] waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers [from where the words of misleaders have been heard] fall.
26 Moreover the light of the moon [understanding of civil Government] shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun [the understanding of the church] shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up [chabash] the breach of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name [identity] of the LORD comes from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue [these words] as a devouring fire:
28 And his breath [the life from His mouth], as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck [releasing the words held there], to sift the nations [those who don’t know Him] with the sieve of vanity [bringing the harvests of their own worthless ways upon them]: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29 You shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept [qadash – when you declare His Holy One, repeating the LORD’s words as received]; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard [from His people], and shall show the lighting [understanding] down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian [communists in church and state] be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass [ma’abar – what Passover, this Passover], which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps [playing these songs with Him, repeating it as received]: and in battles of shaking [tnuwphah – this speaks of the LORD’s sacrifice, as a great “wave rising” among His people: the sea – so the wicked will be shaken out of the new heaven and earth I Am creating] will he fight with it.
33 For Tophet [the place of fires] is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he has made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath [the life from the mouth] of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, does kindle it.

The final time the word ‘aman appears is in Habakkuk 1:5.

Habakkuk [embrace {the one speaking}] 1
2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and you will not hear! even cry out unto you of violence [of those who’ve turned to the left], and you will not save!
3 Why do you show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence [of the left] are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment does never go forth: for the wicked [the left] does compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceeds.
5 Behold you among the heathen [those who refuse to know the LORD with us, in us], and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I [The LORD] will work a work in your days which you will not believe [‘aman], though it be told you.
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans [the left, who use their lying words as spells to manipulate and control the world into going there evil way, to the left], that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth [the broad way that leads to the destruction] of the land [‘erets – the earth], to possess [with their evil spirits] the dwelling-places [holy places of the righteous] that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed [as creations] of themselves [suiting their evil agenda].

As we know, verse 5 above is quoted in Acts 13:41, with (by the LORD’s engineering) the addition of the words “a man.”

Acts 13
32 And we declare [as in the title verse, speaking of the identity of the resurrected LORD] unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33 God has fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh] again; as it is also written in the second psalm, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you.
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure [the word sure, in this context, in Hebrew is ‘aman – see Isaiah 55:3] mercies of David. [Isaiah 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear {shama’ – and obey}, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure {‘aman} mercies of David {the promise to correct and not destroy those who receive it}.]
35 Wherefore he says also in another psalm, You shall not suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man [a man – ‘aman, the truth] is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe [in the Hebrew text the word used is ‘aman], though A MAN declares [as in the title verse] it unto you.
42 And when the Jews [Judah – the corrupt religious leaders who think they are the true believers] were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles [those who haven’t known the LORD, and don’t claim to] besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace [receiving this gift] of God.
44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul [and Timothy], contradicting and blaspheming [the word and work of the LORD unknown].
46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing you put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
47 For so has the LORD commanded us, saying [in Isaiah 49:6], I have set you to be a light of the Gentiles, that you shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth [ending the old and beginning the new, wherein dwells the LORD’s righteousness].
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified [realizing His presence in] the word of the LORD: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
49 And the word of the LORD was published throughout all the region.

The word ordained, above in verse 48, is from the eight times used word tasso, meaning “to arrange in an orderly manner, i.e. assign or dispose (to a certain position or lot):–addict, appoint, determine, ordain, set.” We know this word from its use in the word hupotasso, meaning “to subordinate; reflexively, to obey:–be under obedience (obedient), put under, subdue unto, (be, make) subject (to, unto), be (put) in subjection (to, under), submit self unto.”

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 [their own way], 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 [here] in heaven [here only, where understanding should be and is found]; from whence [in this conversation] also we look for the Savior [who saves us], 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 [of His word in us and then from us] whereby he is able even to subdue [hupotasso – bring into obedience] all things unto himself.

Hebrews 2
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to [obey] the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels [messengers] was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience [refusing to obey the message] received a just recompense of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect [ameleo – are apathetic: meaning given as “to be careless of:–make light of, neglect, be negligent, no regard”] so great salvation [this promised end]; which at the first began to be spoken by the LORD, and was confirmed [repeated from the mouths of faithful witnesses, His angels] unto us by them that heard him [His voice as the mouth of God];
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts [this understanding that only comes from Him, by which the son is crowned] of the Holy Ghost [the LORD present but unknown], according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection [hupotasso] the world to come, whereof we speak [wherein dwells His righteousness].
6 But one in a certain place [Psalms 8:4 – 6] testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit him [as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to relay the foundations which evil man corrupted and destroyed]?
7 You made him [man] a little lower than the angels [in Hebrew, chacer’ elohiym: sent into flesh lacking the full understanding of God]; you [giving Your understanding] crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him [man, in Christ] over the works of your hands:
8 You have put all things [the world, and the fulness thereof] in subjection [hupotasso] under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection [hupotasso] under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now [because man is yet without Christ, not led by His Spirit, and blind] we see not yet all things [are] put under [hupotasso] him.
9 But we see Jesus [Jehovah’s Salvation veiled in the flesh], who was made a little lower than the angels for [sent without understanding] the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor [the Father’s understanding revealed here and now]; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto [the same] glory, to make the captain [archegos – arche ago; the leader of the beginning, only used three other times, “a chief leader:–author, captain, prince”] of their salvation perfect through [long] sufferings [not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance, in which is salvation].
11 For both he that sanctifies [makes pure, removes corruption] 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 [Jehovah’s identity, alive in me] unto my brethren, in the midst of the church [His ONE BODY] will I sing [repeat His words, exalting them above all others] praise unto you.

Psalms 8
A Psalm of David
1 O LORD, our LORD, how excellent is your name [shem] in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens. [Psalms 118:26 Blessed be he that comes in the name [shem] of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the LORD.]
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still [shabath – stop the work of] the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars [governments of state and church], which you have ordained [to rule with truth and justice, as You rule, to secure the rights You’ve given man];
4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him [paqad – making Your presence known in us, as the Chief Overseer of the earth, to reset the right foundations of the earth]?
5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels [chacer ‘elohiym – as planned, lacking the full understanding which only God possesses], and have [by giving me, and all who receive it from Him, His understanding] crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things [including his enemies] under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea [all the beasts of the earth, including men, all without the LORD’s Spirit], and whatsoever passes through [‘abar – all that Passover into life in this resurrection from death] the paths [‘orach – as pilgrims traveling] of the seas [through the ages and generations].
9 O LORD [Jehovah] our LORD [‘adown – our King], how excellent is your name [identity – seeing Your presence] in all the earth!
To the chief Musician [natsach – Chief Overseer] upon Muth-labben [upon the death of Goliath, cutting off his head with this sword]

8 – 11 August 2025

But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

The word, in Psalms 37:39 & 40 above, rendered “trust,” is the thirty-seven times used Hebrew word chacah, meaning “to flee for protection (compare 982); figuratively, to confide in:–have hope, make refuge, (put) trust.”

The idea of fleeing to the LORD for protection is that He speaks of, recorded in all the Gospels except John, telling us that “When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso reads, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains [the place where He sits]:”

The word used in this quote (from Matthew 24:15 & 16), rendered “mountains,” is the same word that appears earlier in the same chapter. There, after telling of the desolation that shall come upon His temple (His people’s minds), that He is atop the mountain we flee to, verse 3 saying, “And as he sat upon the mount [oros] of Olives, the disciples 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 [aion – the age]?”

We know from Zachariah 14:4, this mount of Olives is where the LORD is first seen again standing (in resurrection), in this war, which (rightly) divides the mountain into two (the governments of church and state, the old and corrupt mountains), and we flee to the valley between them. This valley is then said to “reach” unto Azal, the word “reach” is naga’, meaning to touch, or lay hands on. The name Azal is said, by the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon, to mean “reserved,” speaking of the things reserved (frozen) in the cloud, understanding in its separated element, to be sent from there in this time of war.

The name Azal is from the five times used Hebrew word ‘atsal, specifically referring us to its uses in Numbers 11:17 & 25, which describes this moment.

Numbers 11
16 And the LORD said unto Moses [to me], Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel [the new generation of leaders], whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation [mow’ed – in this appointed time], that they may stand [yatsab – referring to its use in Job 38:14] there with you.
17 And I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take of [‘atzal – I will touch them with] the spirit [ruwach] which is upon you [upon me], and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you bear it not yourself alone.
18 And say you unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and you shall eat flesh [My word become flesh in these men]: for you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and you shall eat.
19 You shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
20 But even a whole month [completely changing these governments of church and state], until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that you have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before [paniym – in His presence, to] him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt [fled from those oppressing us]?
21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and you have said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea [all humanity] be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD’s hand waxed short? you shall see now whether my word shall come to pass unto you or not.
24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spoke unto him, and took of [‘atsal – and touched them with] the spirit [ruwach] that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit [ruwach] rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.

In Zachariah 14:5, the LORD says this fleeing (separation from those oppressing us – holding us down; as in the word katecho in 2 Thessalonians 2:6 & 7, rendered withholds and let, who will do so until they are taken out of the way), is as we fled before the earthquake. The word there rendered “earthquake” is the Hebrew word ra’ash, which we know is the voice of the LORD shaking heaven and earth, bringing the dead bones together.

Ezekiel 37
5 Thus says the LORD God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath [ruwach – My Spirit] to enter into you, and you shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath [ruwach] in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise [qowl – this voice heard as the voice of the LORD, as it is], and behold a shaking [ra’ash], and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath [ruwach] in them.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind [ruwach], prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind [ruwach], Thus says the LORD God; Come from the four winds [ruwach], O breath [ruwach], and breathe [naphach] upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath [ruwach] came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house [family] of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus says the LORD God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land [‘adamah – this first generation of My new creation] of Israel.
13 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit [ruwach] in you, and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land [‘adamah]: then shall you know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, says the LORD.

Job 38
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together [repeating this word I put in their mouths], and all the sons of God shouted [realizing My presence with them, in them] for joy?
8 Or who shut up the sea [humanity at large] with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb [born into this generation]?
9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,
10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
11 And said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves [of men’s ignorance, and pride in it] be stayed?
12 Have you commanded the morning since your days; and caused the dayspring [this new day: time of light] to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth [ending the old and corrupt, beginning the new], that the wicked might be shaken [na’ar] out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand [yatsab] as a garment.
15 And from the wicked their light [this understanding] is withheld, and the high arm [their power in their works of ignorance] shall be broken.
16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea [these life-giving waters now sent to all humanity]? or have you walked in the search of the depth [hidden below the surface of My written word]?
17 Have the gates of death [men’s word] been opened unto you? or have you seen the doors [the same mouths] of the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth [this end and its new beginning] of the earth? declare if you know it all.
19 Where is the way where light dwells? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
20 That you should take it to the bound thereof, and that you should know the paths to the house thereof?
21 Know you it, because you were then born? or because the number of your days is great?
22 Have you entered into the treasures of the snow [My word frozen, understanding reserved to be sent at this moment]? or have you seen the treasures of the hail [the same word sent to destroy the ignorance that pervades the current crop of corrupt leaders],
23 Which I have reserved [in the cloud] against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
24 By what way is the light parted [rightly divided into the bow in the cloud], which scatters the east wind upon the earth?
25 Who has [rightly] divided a watercourse [this way, exalting this word of the LORD] for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder [this voice of the LORD giving understanding only He possesses];
26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no [living] man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud [this new life springing forth on this third day] of the tender herb to spring forth?

Jeremiah 10
10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble [ra’ash], and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation [za’am – which ends with the destruction of the wicked].
11 Thus shall you say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12 He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13 When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends [old and new] of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain [His word sent from the cloud], and bringeth forth the wind [ruwach – His Spirit] out of his treasures.
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image [their own creations]: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath [ruwach] in them.
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation [pquddah – at His appearing as the Chief Overseer of the earth] they shall perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel [My people, My family, who receive the expected end] is the rod [that buds] of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name [a man of war is His identity].
17 Gather up your wares [from moving] out of the land [‘erets – the old and corrupt earth], O inhabitant of the fortress.
18 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land [‘erets – the old earth] at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
19 Woe is me for my hurt [sheber – as in Jeremiah 8:21, saying “For the hurt {sheber} of the daughter of my people am I hurt”]! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22 Behold, the noise [qowl – the voice] of the bruit [shmuw’ah – of the LORD heard, the “report” “rumored” to be His arm revealed to those who hear Him] is come, and a great commotion [ra’ash – an earthquake: shaking] out of the north country [against the places of darkness], to make the cities of Judah [the corrupt leaders of God’s people] desolate, and a den of dragons [tanniyn – men as whales and serpents devouring with their wide open mouth].
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not [known] in himself: it is not in man that walks to direct his [own] steps.
24 O LORD, correct me [into the right way], but with judgment; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Pour out your fury upon the heathen that know you not [who refuse to hear Your voice], and upon the families that call not on your name [identity]: for they [as whales and serpent] have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

These latter verses speak of trusting the LORD’s leadership, showing the way that men apparently haven’t known and still refuse. This decision, choosing to follow God or godless man, which is life and death, is that described in Joel 3, in the valley of Jehoshaphat (Jehovah’s judgment), which is also there called the valley of (this) decision.

Psalms 127
1 Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.

Friends, the following, ending with Psalms 127, is from the post of 16 April 2024, which repeated excerpts from earlier posts (with additions that day (16 April 2024) and today in double brackets).

The chapter [[Zeachariah 14]] tells of the LORD appearing on the “mount of Olives,” the only times (Zechariah 14:4 twice) the phrase (har zayith) appears in the Old Testament. It is once there [[in the Old Testament]] referred to, in 2 Samuel 15:30, where it (the phrase), in the original text, is rendered from zayith alone. In this earlier appearance, it tells of David ascending to this place while he waited to be “certified” king.

The word rendered “certify,” in 2 Samuel 15:28, is nagad, meaning “to front, i.e. stand boldly out opposite; by implication (causatively), to manifest; figuratively, to announce (always by word of mouth to one present); specifically, to expose, predict, explain, praise.”

The pattern speaks of the descent, when David, the beloved (Timothy, who is uniquely described as the man of God, and the beloved son), stands there (on the Mount of Olive) face (front) to face (as the cherubim [[their voices heard as their wings {kanaph} raising them, as eagles, into heaven: full understanding]] above the mercy seat manifesting the LORD’s presence in the conversation), boldly against the wicked now in power (as in the full definition of nagad).

As in 2 Samuel 15:30, without the har, Zechariah tells of the mountain, the governments of the earth, church and state, from where this anointing oil should flow, departing, and God’s people finding themselves in the valley left in the place of the mountain’s departure. This event is what Joel (the LORD in him) writes of.

Joel 3
11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all you heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause your mighty ones to come down [from the mountain into the valley], O LORD.
12 Let the heathen [those who haven’t known Me] be wakened, and come up [from their graves where they sleep in death] to the valley of Jehoshaphat [this judgment of Jehovah present]: for there will I sit to judge [[shaphat]] all the heathen [who haven’t know My presence] round about.
13 Put you in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe [in the New Testament we’re told the Mount of Olives is in Bethphage, meaning the house of unripe figs, it is also the place the LORD resides at night {waiting for the fruit to ripen}, after light left, light which was when He was in the temple]: come, get you down [from the mountain]; for the press is full, the fats [this oil] overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun [church government] and the moon [civil governments] shall be darkened [ignorant without this light], and the stars [God’s people, the multitude in the valley] shall withdraw their shining [also not having or not giving this understanding as received].
16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem [this place from where His teaching flows the highway to sustainable peace and security]; and the [totally corrupt] heavens and the earth shall shake [[[ra’ash]] to shake the wicked from them]: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17 So shall you know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with [these living] waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim [where all are scourged by the thorns – corrected away from those misleading them].
19 Egypt [those oppressing the world] shall be a desolation, and Edom [the enemies mixed among us at war with us while they call it peace] shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah [My elect remnant, the new crop of leaders I Am raising from the dead], because they [the enemies among us] have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah [the elect remnant] shall dwell forever, and Jerusalem [My people at large] from [the old and corrupt] generation to [become the new] generation [in this new creation].
21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwells in Zion.

Matthew 17
5 While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud [where understanding is found] overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, 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 [[as in naga’ ‘atsal]] them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes [seeing the unseen, as the LORD sees], they saw no man, save Jesus 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 [as I Am].

Luke 19
37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples [students of His teaching] began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the LORD: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke your disciples.
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side,
44 And shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall [scatter you] not leave in you one stone upon another; because you knew not the time of your visitation.
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but you have made it a den of thieves.
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

Zechariah 14
1 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you.
2 For I will gather all nations against [[the dead carcass, the dead body of Christ, who with His rising in them becomes New Heavenly]] Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people [[the elect remnant in whom He is already risen]] shall not be cut off [[karath – the same spoken of in Daniel 9:25, speaking of the LORD remaining with His elect remnant, those here realizing His presence with us, in us, saying “And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off {karath}, but not for himself {not from the elect remnant}: and the people {the carcass remaining dead} of the prince {the devils in power, in God’s place in church and state} that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood {sheteph – a key word, see its other uses, speaking of the evil conversation of the wicked in power}, and unto the end {qets} of the war desolations {of those warring against us with their evil words, their flatteries, their deceptions masked in their claimed good intentions} are determined {charats – decreed, as spoken of in Isaiah 28:2 & 10:22 & 23}]] from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal [unto sanctification [[by receiving this word reserved in the cloud for the moment]]]: yea, you shall flee, like as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah [the strength of Jehovah] king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints [the former sea] with you [the latter sea].
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light [understanding] shall not be clear, nor dark [these messages are heard but not yet fully understood]:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light [into the darkness of ignorance and confusion the LORD comes with understanding].
8 And it shall be in that day, that [these] living waters shall go out from [Heavenly New] Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem [all the high places, and their fruit, shall be brought down by the peace that flows from His right hand]: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate [the entryway taught by the right hand of the LORD] unto the place of the first gate [the place where the light is first seen], unto the corner gate [and turning to Him {the LORD} they shall enter], and from the tower [where is seen the evidence of the price paid to redeem the earth: the field] of Hananeel [those who God has favored] unto the king’s winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem [the peace He is teaching]; Their [works of the] flesh shall consume [maqaq [[- melt, and vanish; like the stoicheion Peter decribes in 2 Peter 3:10 & 12 ]]] away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes [what they say they’ve seen and understand] shall consume [maqaq] away in their holes, and their tongue [their word against the LORD] shall consume [maqaq] away in their mouth. [Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the LORD comes with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.]
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
14 And Judah [the elect remnant – the saints who have come with the LORD] also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen [those who haven’t known the LORD] round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance [the things they thought were valuable but are actually burdens and plagues]
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague [the defeat of all those who carry {teach and preach} these burdens].
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto [Heavenly New] Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt [the houses of oppression] go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles [who come not out of these houses of oppression – to the harvest].
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt [the oppressors who put heavy burdens on God’s people], and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses [this shall be the shade in the day, that replaces the plague of the burdens upon the horses], Holiness Unto The LORD; and the pots [filled with these living waters that have flowed from Him] in the LORD’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in [Heavenly New] Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto [pure, to be delivered in the form it was received from] the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite [those who {conspicuously} hate their brother, because upon him is the righteousness that pleases the LORD] in the house of the LORD of hosts.

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

The following, ending with 1 Corinthians 3, is an excerpt from the post of 14 August 2023.

The word “decision,” twice used above in Joel 3:14, is the Hebrew word charuwts, meaning “incised or (active) incisive; hence (as noun masculine or feminine) a trench (as dug), gold (as mined), a threshing-sledge (having sharp teeth); (figuratively) determination; also eager.” It’s referring to the harvest mentioned in the title verse [[Joel 3:13]], and the separating effect of the threshing instrument, which brings the choice between light and darkness.

It (charuwts) refers us to Isaiah 41, as the LORD commands the dry places (without His word) to be silent and let His people renew their strength (understanding). He calls His people who have received understanding to come near (into His presence, as in 1 Thessalonians 2:12, 13, 19, & 20), to speak (HIS WORD), and come together with Him in judgment. This (JUDGMENT) is what He, later in verse 15, says is them as His new “sharp” threshing instrument, with which He beats the mountains and hills (the seats of power) small as chaff.

Joshua 24
14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve you the LORD.
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites [those who exalt their words and ways above God’s], in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
16 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
17 For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
18 And the LORD drove out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God.
19 And Joshua [[Jesus – Jehovah’s Salvation manifested in the flesh of His perpetual son]] said unto the people, You cannot serve the LORD: for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
20 If you forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he has done you good.
21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD.
22 And Joshua said unto the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.
23 Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.
24 And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
26 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone [[Christ – the LORD manifested in the flesh, from where His word flows]], and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
27 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a [[trustworthy; as in chacah]] witness unto us; for it has heard all the words of the LORD which he spoke unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest you deny your God.

The eleven times used word showt, above seen to speak of this foretold “scourge,” from where comes the word shotet, first appears, four times, rendered “whips.” These come in Rehoboam’s response when Israel (the ten northern tribes), after he became king, asked him to lighten the burden His father, Solomon, put upon them. His responses, and its recommendation by the young men that grew up with him (all remaining with childish minds), come in 1 Kings 12:11 & 14, and 2 Chronicles 10:11 & 14, all saying “My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips [showt], but I will chastise you with scorpions.”

As we well know, this event is the cause of the breach in the house of Jacob, which was before united under David and remained so under Solomon.

The deep meaning inferred in this passage, is the whip of Solomon, which Rehoboam, his generation, and Israel, saw as a burden, are his (Solomon’s) words, teaching God wisdom from His mouth, by which the people remained united (at peace and secure, among themselves and with their enemies). These speak of the tendency toward degeneration due to prosperity, seeing the LORD’s word as a burden, instead of a light yoke (as it is) not understood by those who haven’t experienced life absent it or wholeheartedly received it. What results is the condition Joshua warns of above, the lack of peace and security that come as witnesses against those who abandoned and forgot this understanding, and in their place were exalted words of men, which are as strikes of scorpions (rotting the mind from the inside).

The next time the word showt appears comes in Job 5:21 speaking of the degeneration as it now is, in its end when none understand and therefore none know the LORD or recognize His work, which is now evident in them as witnesses against themselves. Thus, Paul elsewhere says all are dead and must all be changed.

Job 5
1 Call now, if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the saints will you turn? [None open their mouth, because they are without understanding and therefore dead.]
2 For wrath [this word of God rejected] kills the foolish man, and envy slays the silly one [ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth].
3 I have seen [in the beginning of the degeneration] the foolish taking root: but suddenly [pith’own – in this time of their sudden destruction] I cursed his habitation [the hell their apostacy created].
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate [unable to leave hell or enter heaven], neither is there any to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest [of what took root and grew into full fruit] the hungry [without this word of God] eat up, and take it even out of the thorns [taught to them by misleaders who grew when this understanding was neglected and abandoned], and the robber swallows up their substance [their peace and prosperity into the belly of hell].
6 Although affliction come not forth of the dust [‘aphar – the ruin of the earth {people and nations} comes from the ways of affliction], neither does trouble spring out of the ground [but rather comes from the minds of men without understanding];
7 Yet man is born unto trouble [as a snare], as the sparks fly upward [into the darkness where their light and life is extinguished].
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
9 Which does great things and unsearchable; marvelous things without number:
10 Who gives rain upon the earth [His word from heaven to those in need of it], and sends waters upon the fields [to bring forth the good fruit man needs to survive]:
11 To set up on high those that be low [[as if in a valley]]; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
12 He disappoints the devices [machashabah – the contrivances as weapons of war] of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise [tuwshiyah – the falsely so-called wisdom of the foolish children of the world].
13 He takes the wise in their own craftiness [quoted in 1 Corinthians 3:19]: and the counsel of the froward [degenerates that intentionally twist and pervert truth] is carried headlong [into their destruction by their own creations].
14 They meet with darkness [in blinding ignorance] in the day time [not realizing this light has come], and [fecklessly] grope in the noonday [when all see them] as in the night [as they pretend no one does].
15 But he saves the poor [those without power] from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor has hope, and iniquity stops her [poisonous] mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not you the chastening of the Almighty: [This is reiterated in Psalms 94:12, Proverbs 3:11 & 12, stated in Hebrews 12:5 as something we have forgotten, and contributes to James 1:12.]
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 [when perfection comes] there shall no evil touch you.
20 In famine he shall redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
21 You shall be hid from [and by] the scourge [showt] of the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts [those without the LORD’s Spirit] of the earth.
23 For you shall be in league with the stones [[from whom this word of the LORD flows]] of the field [at which others stumble]: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 And you shall know that your tabernacle shall be in peace; and you shall visit your habitation, and shall not sin.
25 You shall know also that your seed shall be great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 You shall come to your grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn comes in in his season.
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know you it for your good.

1 Corinthians 3
9 For we are laborers together with God: you are God’s husbandry, you are God’s building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ [the LORD alive in our flesh].
12 Now if any man builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day [this light now come] shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If any man defile [teaching degeneration to] the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written [in Job 5:13 above], He takes the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

Psalms 36
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

The following, ending with Matthew 24, is from the post of 1 September 2018, as it appeared in the post of 24 July 2025.

[[From]] 1 September 2018

Today is explicitly speaking of the wickedness of the Democrat party, the deep state, their witch hunt, the lies at their foundation, and the injustice and inequity they pursue through their special counsel.

Psalms 36
1 The transgression of the wicked says within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he has left off to be wise, and to do good.
4 He devises mischief upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he abhors not evil.
5 Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and your faithfulness reaches unto the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep: O LORD, you preserve man and beast.
7 How excellent is your lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust [[chacah]] under the shadow of your wings [[kanaph – Your voice]].
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall make them drink of the river [[this word]] of your pleasures.
9 For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light.
10 O continue your lovingkindness unto them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

The opening verse above tells of the thoughts and actions of the wicked, showing there is no fear of God in their understanding. This is itself the definition of blindness and foolishness, from which these men have been warned away, have not heeded, and are therefore now in grave danger of reaping the self-inflicted consequences.

The standard operating procedure of the wicked is to first create a lie (as they have), to facilitate a false accusation (as they have), to give plausible validity to an investigation (as it has). The investigation is continued until a violation of a law is found or forced, as we have seen and will see as long as the witch hunt is allowed to continue. The wicked, the unaccountable, and lawless deep state, pervert and apply justice unequally, and with prejudice, ignoring or acquitting the guilty while meticulously scrutinizing anyone they deem a threat to their lies, power, or positions.

These are merely tactics, now grotesquely exaggerated as they frantically try to defeat the will of the people who have seen, awakened, and risen up in opposition, which manifested itself in the election of President Trump (who is appropriately named as he has and continues to trump every card they play). The finalization of their planned destruction included the election of Hillary Clinton, which was inevitable right up until the sudden, unexpected loss. The attacks against the President are an extension of the underlying objective: destroying those who have awakened against the transformation of our nation.

As we know, for the wicked to have succeeded, the seeds had to be planted long ago, before Obama, who with intention, infested the government with communists, socialists, and globalists who he knew would ruthlessly disregard the law. Their mission, to be the final destroyers of the American and Christian culture, has been the plan of the like-minded for generations before him. Our culture is the underlying enemy these people are attacking and against which they have long conspired.

At the beginning of the last century, the communists set out to demoralize the U.S. by infiltrating all our institutions: education, religion, and government, and by this alter the thinking and spirit of the population.

They filled the minds of our society with meaningless and inaccurate propaganda meant to vilify America and Christianity while elevating lesser and more primitive values. The greater intention was to confuse the mind by destroying normalcy and reality through redefinition and reverse labeling, which has now produced vast numbers of people foolish enough to believe and act upon whatever lies they are told.

Friends, I am sorry to say, this is as true in the modern church as it is in the pop culture.

The men who now sit in the seats of power, who oppose the awakening, will not change what they teach, nor will they allow any ideas to be heard that contradict and expose their corrupted thinking, teaching, and reporting.

This is when, where, and why God manifests His presence and power. He comes as the same great surprise to those who don’t believe He exists or who think they control Him. Friends, watch, and you will see, all will see, but the unbelieving will deny it is a supernatural act of the Almighty. The LORD tells us where to look, and of the sign of His presence, which comes after the tribulation caused by the darkening of these institutions and God’s people. He is the enlightener, who appears to end the darkness.

Matthew 24
27 For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun [church] be darkened, and the moon [civil government] shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven [God’s people falling away from His rightly divided word and losing their light], and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear [the light] the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Truly I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Psalms 17
A Prayer [tphillah – intersession] of David
1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer [tphillah], that goes not out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from your presence [paniym]; let your eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 You have proved my heart; you have visited me in the night; you have tried me, and shall find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in your paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon you, for you will hear me, O God: incline your ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Show your marvelous [eye-opening] lovingkindness, O you that saves by your right hand them which put their trust [chacah] in you from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye [a pupil seeing as You see], hide me under the shadow of your wings [kanaph – Your voice],
9 From [paniym – manifest Your presence against] the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat [the success of their wickedness]: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint [paniym – manifest Your presence against] him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is your sword:
14 From men which are your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold your face [paniym – Your presence] in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness.
