Jeremiah 31:7-14 – Doubly fruitful so Jesus can walk in your flesh after his rebirth

[7] Thus says Yahweh:

Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,

and raise shouts for the chief of the nations;

proclaim, give praise, and say,

“Save, Yahweh, your people,

the remnant of Israel.”

[8] See, I am going to bring them from the land of the north,

and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth,

among them the blind and the lame, those with child and

those in labor, together;

a great company, they shall return here.

[9] With weeping they shall come,

and with consolations I will lead them back,

I will let them walk by brooks of water,

in a straight path in which they shall not stumble;

for I have become a father to Israel,

and Ephraim is my firstborn.

[10] Hear the word of Yahweh, O nations,

and declare it in the coastlands far away;

say, “He who scattered Israel will gather him,

and will keep him as a shepherd a flock.”

[11] For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob,

and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him.

[12] They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion,

and they shall be radiant over the goodness of Yahweh

over the grain, the wine, and the oil,

and over the young of the flock and the herd;

their life shall become like a watered garden,

and they shall never languish again.

[13] Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance,

and the young men and the old shall be merry.

I will turn their mourning into joy,

I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.

[14] I will give the priests their fill of fatness,

and my people shall be satisfied with my bounty,

says Yahweh.

This is the Old Testament selection to be read aloud on the second Sunday after Christmas, Year C, according to the lectionary for the Episcopal Church. This will preceded a singing of Psalm 84, where David sang: “Happy are they who dwell in your house! they will always be praising you.” This pair will be followed by a reading from Paul’s letter to the Christians of Ephesus, where he wrote: “I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers.” All will accompany a Gospel reading from one of three made possible for this day, coming from “Matthew 2 or Luke 2. That read can then include these statements:

“When Herod died, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of for those who were seeking the child’s life are dead.”

“[Jesus] said to [his parents], “Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?’”

“When [the Magi] had heard the king [tell them the prophets said the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem], they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was.”

Not too long ago, in the twenty-fifth Sunday after Pentecost, verses seven through nine from this selection were read aloud. The focus of that ends with Jeremiah saying, “Ephraim is my firstborn.” I have written about those three verses and posted commentaries on my website (one from 2018 and one in 2021), which can be opened by searching this site by name and number of the reading. Please feel invited to read those and then return to this interpretation.

The whole of Jeremiah’s thirty-first chapter is forty verses. These eight verses constitute twenty percent of the whole. These eight are only read on this Sunday (all three years); but other verses of the whole (not all) will be read on various other dates in the lectionary calendar. Because these eight are read every year on the second Sunday after Christmas, there should be found significance to the rebirth of Jesus within one’s soul. This is then a message for all to know about that purpose of resurrection of Jesus’ soul in one’s soul.

In these eight verses there are five places where Jeremiah specifically named “Yahweh.” In the whole (forty verses), Jeremiah named “Yahweh” specifically thirty-five times (three times in verse thirty-eight alone). In all of the five places in the reading shown above, you will note that I have changed the NRSV (and others do exactly the same) translation of “Yahweh” as “the Lord,” back to “Yahweh.” I have placed His name in bold type. A “lord” is a lesser ruler. A capitalized “Lord” can be a demonic possessor. In Christianity, after one has married one’s soul to Yahweh and given birth to His Son (the point of ‘after Christmas’), it is the soul of Jesus who becomes “the Lord” of one’s flesh, while the original “lord” (one’s soul) steps aside and submits to that Spiritual possession. Because most readers of Christian literature (the Holy Bible) are not souls married to Yahweh and not reborn as Jesus (each soul-body’s individual “Lord”), it is best to stick to the basics and not go confusing the ignorant masses, who have erroneously been taught, “Do nothing and Jesus will save you, because he died on a cross.” Jesus did not die for any soul refusing to marry Yahweh, refusing to utter His name.

Looking at the BibleHub Interlinear translations, which follow the order of words written in Hebrew by Jeremiah, it is quite obvious many liberties have been taken through paraphrasing what Jeremiah was divinely inspired to write. The beauty of Scripture is it always smells like a rose, even when the death of a translation service has been heaped all over it. The truth still makes crap be known to be divine. For this reason, I will not interpret each verse as translated above. I will offer a translation that matches the order of the words written, according to viable translations of the Hebrew into English. That will be what I then interpret.

In the hit and miss custom established by the Episcopal Church, the above selected verses are only known by the ‘intro,’ which says: “Jeremiah 31:7-14.” They then lazily drop the ‘numbering ball’ and leave it up to all listeners to figure out where verse number transition take place. Because I am not a lazy Christian, I have taken the time to figure out where the verses begin; and, I have inserted the appropriate verse numbers in bold type, placed within brackets. That makes it easy for the checkers to see where my comments are directed and check my translations.

7. that here says Yahweh — give a ringing cry for supplanter [Jacob] with gladness , and cry shrilly with the head of the people ; be heard to praise and speak , save Yahweh the people , the remainder who retains Yahweh as His elohim [Israel] .

8. Behold! will enter them of the flesh [land, earth] unknown [north] , and gather them from extremes of flesh [earth, land] them blind and lame , pregnant those bringing forth unitedly ; an assembly shall return hither .

9. weeping they will come , and with supplications of favor I will lead them I will have them walk into the torrents of water , in a way right , not they will stumble because I come to pass to those who retain Yahweh as His elohim [Israel] the Father , and doubly fruitful [Ephraim] my firstborn he .

10. hear word Yahweh people , and be conspicuous in regions distant ; and speak , he who winnows those who retain Yahweh as His elohim [Israel] will gather together him , and preserve him as a pastor his flock .

11. for has ransomed Yahweh the supplanter [Jacob] ; and redeemed him from the hand of the one stronger than he .

12. therefore they will come and give a ringing cry in the heights of a dry place [Zion] and flowing the goodness Yahweh above grain and above new wine and above fresh oil , and upon sons flock and herd , and will become their souls like a garden well-watered , and not shall they be joined to be faint again .

13. then shall rejoice virgin in the dance , and the young men and the old together ; for I will overturn their mourning into exultation and will console them , and make them glad rather than sorry .

14. and I will saturate the soul of the priest with blessing ; and my people in my goodness will be satisfied say Yahweh . ס

In the translations that I have just supplied, you will note that the name meanings for “Jacob,” “Israel,” “Ephraim” and “Zion” have been replaced by the name meanings. Additionally, in two places where the word translating ordinarily as “land, earth” [“erets”] is found, I have translated that as “flesh.” In that regard, one needs to realize that Yahweh does not care about saving any “land” or “earth,” only that which is animated by souls. Therefore, where the word commonly translated as “nation” is written, I have translated it as “people.” Without the “people,” there are no “nations.”

When these eight verses are known to be hand-selected to be read on the second Sunday of Christmas, the theme of childbirth must be realized. In verse eight there are words that translate as, “pregnant those bringing forth unitedly.” The use of the Hebrew “harah” [transliterated as “hā·rāh”] means “Pregnant,” but has been translated these ways in other Old Testament texts: “child (5), conceive (2), pregnant (3), pregnant woman (1), pregnant women (1), woman with child (1), women (1), women who were with child (1), women with child (1).” [NASB Translations] The use of “unitedly” [from “yaḥ·dāw,” from “yachad,” meaning “unitedness”] then leads to verse nine concluding with the words that say, “and doubly fruitful [Ephraim] my firstborn he.” The “doubly fruitful” aspect of the name Ephraim says this “unitedness” will produce “two in one,” where one will be the ”firstborn” of Yahweh, which is “he” known as Adam. The soul of Adam reborn into the soul of another becomes “Jesus,” a name meaning “Yahweh Saves.”

When verse thirteen begins by saying, “then shall rejoice virgin in the dance,” this means a soul that has never married Yahweh and received His Spirit is a “virgin,” having never been divinely penetrated. The “rejoicing” and “dancing” comes from such penetration, which is the presence of Yahweh’s Spirit and the pregnancy of His Son to be born anew in one’s flesh. When that segment leads to Jeremiah adding: “and the young men and the old together,” here the word “yaḥ·dāw” is repeated, with the “unitedness” translated as “together.” The “virgin” soul has become “young” in its time saved, because it has “united” with the “old” soul that is Adam-Jesus. All souls are of masculine essence at this time, when freed from the negativity-femininity of the limits of a body of flesh [“earth”]. This means they are “men,” who will become “sons flock and herd.” (From verse twelve)

The “saturation” of the “soul” [from “wə·riw·wê·ṯî ne·p̄eš,” rooted in “ravah” and “nephesh”] is then a statement of the overwhelming presence of Yahweh’s Spirit, with His Son resurrected within one’s soul. This leaves no room for self-awareness or self-ego to take control of one’s being. All is willingly submitted to Yahweh, welcoming His presence through love. It is this birth of Yahweh’s Son, making one also His Son, with Him becoming the Father (as well as the Husband), so as Jesus reborn one becomes “a priest.” That designation means the remainder of one’s life in the flesh will be spent ministering the Word, so others will also be led to marry their souls to Yahweh and become Jesus reborn.

The only questionable part of these eight verses is the word “north” [“ṣā·p̄ō·wn,” from “tsaphon”]. When this word is connected to “the land” [“erets”], also following that translated into English as “Israel,” this makes one think Jeremiah was writing a warning to the Northern Kingdom, which was already overrun by the Assyrians, with the Israelites scattered to the four corners of the known world. The truth comes when the word “north” is seen as a directional word that means “upright.” Brown-Driver-Briggs writes of the Hebrew word “tsaphon” – “hidden, dark.” Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance list “northern side, dark, gloomy” as proper translations, adding: “tsaphon {tsaw-fone’}; from tsaphan; properly, hidden, i.e. Dark; used only of the north as a quarter (gloomy and unknown) — north(-ern, side, -ward, wind).” This means verse eight saying: “Behold! will enter them of the flesh [land, earth] unknown [north]” is a statement of the invisibility of the ”return of Jesus,” as he will not return in the flesh he ascended in – to save the world – he will return as the “unknown” soul resurrected within one’s own soul, all within the flesh of that soul.

As a reading chosen with purpose, to be read aloud on the second Sunday after Christmas, the purpose here is to see the need to become two souls merged within one body of flesh. That being the only point of Christmas, the primary soul will then be Yahweh’s “firstborn” Son, who we Christians call “Jesus.” We must be “saturated” with the Spirit, as a Christ of Yahweh’s Anointment, so our “virgin” souls can become His “priests” in ministry, as the “sons” who will “gather” the “flock and herd” to Him. This means Christmas is when we are reborn as Jesus; and, that becomes the beginning of the rest of one’s life, where “life” means “eternal,” thus extending well beyond the remainder of one’s life on “earth” (in the “flesh”).

Jeremiah 1:4-10 – Do not say, “I am only a boy”

4] The word of Yahweh came to me saying,

[5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

and before you were born I consecrated you;

I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

[6] Then I said, “Ah, adonay Yahweh! Truly I do not know how to speak, for I am only a boy.”

[7] But Yahweh said to me,

“Do not say, ‘I am only a boy’;

for you shall go to all to whom I send you,

and you shall speak whatever I command you,

[8] Do not be afraid of them,

for I am with you to deliver you,

says Yahweh.”

[9] Then Yahweh put out his hand and touched my mouth; and Yahweh said to me,

“Now I have put my words in your mouth.

[10] See, today I appoint you over nations and over kingdoms,

to pluck up and to pull down,

to destroy and to overthrow,

to build and to plant.”

——————–

This is the Old Testament reading selection set aside for the fourth Sunday after the Epiphany, Year C, according to the lectionary for the Episcopal Church. It will precede a singing from Psalm 71, which says, “In you, Yahweh, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed.” To follow that will be a reading from Paul’s first letter to the true Christians of Corinth, where he wrote: “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways.” All will accompany the Gospel reading from Luke, where the apostle wrote: “And [Jesus] said, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in the prophet’s hometown. But the truth is, there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a severe famine over all the land; yet Elijah was sent to none of them except to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon. There were also many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”

In the above presentation, one can see how I have added the verse numbers, placing them within brackets, in bold type. I have also changed six mistranslations of “Lord” to the truth written, which is “Yahweh” (this also placed in bold type). In verse six has been translated “the Lord God,” when the reality written is “adonay Yahweh.” If clean translations were to be made, based on the standard practice of changing “Yahweh” to “Lord, the translation would be “Lord Lord” [more accurately, “lords Lord”]. Because that is the NRSV now changing “Yahweh” from “Lord” to now “God,” that too is wrong; so, I have restored the truth that was written by Jeremiah.

This needs to be recognized as the first chapter of Jeremiah, when Jeremiah is introduced as a prophet. In this reading selection today, we find it beginning in verse four, where the translation above says, “The word of Yahweh came to me saying”. This should be known to follow verse two, which says, “[Jeremiah is the name of one] to whom the word of Yahweh came.” In that, the Hebrew word “dabar” means “speech, word,” and is used in both verses, two and four. It means Jeremiah was a soul married to Yahweh, so under the control of His Spirit Yahweh then spoke through His prophet Jeremiah. There, the name “Jeremiah” means “Yah[weh] Loosens” or “Yah[weh] Throws.” That which was “Loosened” or “Thrown” is then the “Word” of Yahweh.

Yahweh is then said to speak through Jeremiah, saying “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” This is believed to be Yahweh speaking of His Son Jesus prophetically, while that name was unknown to Jeremiah. While that can be deemed true, the greater meaning says that Jeremiah was like John the Baptist, where both souls had been sinners, but then married to Yahweh’s Spirit. That meant both births [in Jeremiah and John] were the resurrections of the soul of Yahweh’s Son: Adam, also known as Jesus [“Yah[weh] Will Save” or “Yah[weh] Saves”].

Because Adam-Jesus was formed from clay or dust and given a divine “elohim” as his soul, the ‘womb’ of Adam-Jesus would be Eden. There, the only ‘mother’ he had was the Earth [the clay or dust]. No human mother gave birth to Adam-Jesus, as would Jeremiah’s mother [unnamed] and Elizabeth [who gave birth to John [the baptizer] provide “wombs” for reborn Saints. Thus, Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah as a purposeful reincarnation of a saved soul – one saved quite some time before [past lives long] – known by Yahweh to be the soul of Jeremiah [new name of his flesh], along with the soul of His Son Adam [a.k.a. Jesus].

When Yahweh said, “before you were born I consecrated you,” this says Jeremiah was a Saint when born. That means his soul had previously been cleansed of sins, in a past life. When the remainder of verse five says, “I appointed you a prophet to the nations,” a better translation has Yahweh say: “an ability to speak to the people is why I gave you.” In this, the Hebrew transliteration “nə·ṯat·tî·ḵā” has been translated by the NRSV as “I consecrated you,” with BibleHub saying, “I ordained you.” Whichever is used, the root word is “nathan,” which says Jeremiah is a “gift” to the souls in the flesh that are lost sheep. It means the “appointment” is “given by Yahweh,” thereby making that be a divine “ordination” into the most holy of ministries.

When Yahweh then led Jeremiah to write, “wā·’ō·mar ’ă·hāh ’ă·ḏō·nāy Yah-weh,” literally translating as, “and I said alas lords Yahweh”. This becomes the definition of “adonay” [the plural form of the Hebrew word “adon”]. Because a “lord” is the ruler of one or more, with each soul breathed into a body of flesh being that body of flesh’s “lord,” “lords” are now relative to being an ordained prophet [a “gifted speaker”], with the “people” [from “lag·gō·w·yim,” from “goy”] being to whom one “speaks with authority.” When this definition of “adonay” is connected to “Yahweh,” then the “adonay” of “Yahweh” are the Saints sent by Yahweh to lead other lost soul to Him. They are His “lords,” where “adonay” now brings up the imagery of a “shepherd.”

When we then read Jeremiah exclaiming to Yahweh, “Truly I do not know how to speak, for I am only a boy,” it is unlikely that Jeremiah would speak in such a way to such an amazing presence as Yahweh. That written does not say “truly,” but “behold!” [from “hin·nêh”]. That is a statement of sight, not speech. That is then followed by words that literally say, “not to know speech,” where this is Yahweh saying (in essence), “Do not worry about not knowing what to say, because I will speak for you.” When the following words say, “that a youth I am,” this is Yahweh saying His presence in a boy makes the boy the voice of Yahweh, as a “adonay Yahweh.”

Verse seven then confirms this, where the essence written says the “exception” [“but”] is that Yahweh speaks through Jeremiah. When the boy Jeremiah speaks, it is Yahweh speaking, not the boy. Everything Jeremiah does is based on Yahweh’s lead; so, Jeremiah will go where Yahweh sends him and Jeremiah will speak what Yahweh has him speak.

Where the NRSV shows verse eight saying, “Do not be afraid of them,” the reality written says, “not to fear their faces.” In that, the transliterated “mip·pə·nê·hem” pulls from the plural “panim,” meaning “faces.” Every time the word “panim” comes up in Scripture, it must be read as a reference to the First Commandment, where the truth of that written says, “You shall wear no other face than My face before Me.” [Being yourself before Yahweh is acting like a “god,” and no other “gods” can show their “face” before His face.] That is the first law of marriage, which say, “My face only, so if you agree to these terms, then you will only wear My face.”

The element of “fear” is another rule, where a soul will only “fear” losing Yahweh, and nothing else. To “fear” other “faces” means to be “afraid” of wearing any “face” other than Yahweh’s as yours. Doing so would keep one from knowing the divine union that marries one’s soul to Yahweh’s Spirit. Thus, where Jeremiah will be sent is where Jews fear everything but Yahweh, because all of their “faces” are their own … not Yahweh’s.

While it is visually touching to see the hand of God softly … like a cloud? … touching the lips of Jeremiah, that is not the reality of that written. The literal translation says, “and sent forth Yahweh his hand”. That means Jeremiah is the “hand of Yahweh.” Yahweh is not to be limited to human traits, even though it is easier for human to conceptualize Yahweh in human forms. Apostles, Prophets and Saints are all the “hands” of Yahweh. Thus, when it next says, “and touched on my mouth,” this says Jeremiah was indeed “touched” spiritually, with the “gift” of Yahweh being to use his “mouth” as a voice for the One God. Thus, with that known, Jeremiah said he heard the voice of Yahweh tell him, “I have put my words in your mouth.”

In verse ten, the NRSV translation shows Jeremiah writing, “See, today I appoint you over nations and over kingdoms.” The same suggestion was made in verse five projecting “prophet to the nations.” Try to go speak to a building, a countryside, or a statue and see how well that works, as far as getting some soulless entity to respond. The words “hag·gō·w·yim” and “ham·mam·lā·ḵō·wṯ” must be understood to be the “people” and the “sovereignties” or “rulers,” where without their life [souls in bodies of flesh] “nations” and “kingdoms” are empty and void. Thus, Yahweh sent Jeremiah to “speak” divinely to souls in human flesh that were lost.

This aspect of Jeremiah going to speak to souls is then that which must be “plucked up and pulled down, destroyed and to overthrown.” Those are the faces of fear that do not know Yahweh in divine marriage. They have their own self-absorbed beliefs, which must be taken away from them first, before they can come to Yahweh and become His wives. When that happens, then they will be prepared “to build and to plant” the soul of Jesus into their souls. When Jesus springs forth, he will have all souls in bodies of flesh wear only the face of Yahweh: him.

As a reading assigned for the fourth Sunday after the Epiphany, the symbolism has to be the childlike state that Jeremiah knew. During the after Epiphany time, the gift of Yahweh’s Son is still new, as a Christmas gift that is still in good working order and fun to play with. We take delight like children … like the boy Jeremiah. The adult focus of ministry has not fully set in yet. One is still elated over having been given a gift. It is the gift of eternal life and the presence of Jesus, so we can go tell the world how to become Yahweh’s wife and repeat the gifts of Christmas. While there are many hurdles still ahead to bound over, none of that is bothersome in the glow of newness. We have no fear of the faces the world wears. The after the Epiphany period is when one is sent forth full of faith, full speed ahead … “go with throttle up.”

Jeremiah 17:5-10 – According to the fruit of their doings

[5] Thus says Yahweh:

Cursed are those who trust in mere mortals

and make mere flesh their strength,

whose hearts turn away from Yahweh.

[6] They shall be like a shrub in the desert,

and shall not see when relief comes.

They shall live in the parched places of the wilderness,

in an uninhabited salt land. [ס]

[7] Blessed are those who trust in Yahweh,

whose trust is Yahweh.

[8] They shall be like a tree planted by water,

sending out its roots by the stream.

It shall not fear when heat comes,

and its leaves shall stay green;

in the year of drought it is not anxious,

and it does not cease to bear fruit.

[9] The heart is devious above all else;

it is perverse–

who can understand it?

[10] I Yahweh test the mind

and search the heart,

to give to all according to their ways,

according to the fruit of their doings. [ס]

——————–

This is the Old Testament selection to be read aloud on the sixth Sunday after the Epiphany, Year C, according to the lectionary for the Episcopal Church. It will precede a singing of Psalm 1, where David wrote: “Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor lingered in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seats of the scornful!” That pair will be followed by a reading from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthian Christians, where he wrote: “We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ–whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.” All will accompany the Gospel reading from Luke, where Jesus told the crowd that which is called “the Beatitudes,” one of which is this: “Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man.”

There seems to be no reasoning behind the Episcopal Church’s decisions to either number verses or remove the numbers. This song of Jeremiah is one where they have been removed. While this prevents them from changing the numbers to suit their needs [not advisable in divine texts], it becomes confusing to those interpreting the original language [in this case Hebrew] into English for the purpose of study and reflection. For that reason, I have added the numbers in bold type, surrounded by brackets, so no one will think the Episcopal Church did that. I will then refer to the verses by number in my following observations.

In these six verses, five times Jeremiah wrote the name “Yahweh” and five time the NRSV [et al English translation services] has mutated that proper name to a generic “the Lord.” One can only assume that the great fear that keeps Christian owners of Holy Bibles from uttering the proper name of the God they profess to worship is this is the name only allowed to Jewish folk. This is what would be found in the Holy scrolls of the Torah, Psalms, and Prophets. That reasoning must be from demonic possession, because Yahweh did not create clubs of humans to cheer for Him. Yahweh chose souls in human flesh to submit their souls to Him in marriage, so those souls would each and all take on the name of Yahweh, which can be seen as “Israel.” One does not take on the name of “That place in the Mid-East” when one worships “the Lord” one’s soul is afraid to say aloud in a Christian church service.

As a little touch of detail, at the end of verses six and ten are found the mark known as a “semekh.” That is the fifteenth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, but it is used as a mark that denotes completion of a “setumah,” which is: “A closed parashah (a section of a book in the Hebrew text of the Tanakh), set apart by a space in the middle of the line of text, with the previous portion ending before the space, and the next portion starting after it.” [Wiktionary] I have added them to show a need for pause, to reflect on that presented as separate.

The NRSV gives the first thirteen verses of Jeremiah 17 the title “Judah’s Sin and Punishment.” My Hebrew reference – BibleHub Interlinear – gives them the title “The Sin and Punishment of Judah.” The first two-plus verses set up this song by stating, “The sin of Judah is written with an iron pen; with a diamond point it is engraved on the tablet of their hearts, and on the horns of their altars, while their children remember their altars and their sacred poles, beside every green tree, and on the high hills, on the mountains in the open country.” This needs to be seen as turning the attention of the after the Epiphany time period to the alternative to a soul having married Yahweh, given birth to His Son Jesus, and entered ministry as one Anointed by Yahweh. Those who do not make this life change are sinners; and, sinners will always pay the price for their rejection of Yahweh in their souls.

Verse three [not read aloud] completes this thought, where Jeremiah spoke as Yahweh, telling all those who had faith they could do no wrong, as the beloved chosen children of Israel, the one’s Moses freed from bondage in Egypt, “Your wealth and all your treasures I will give for spoil as the price of your sin throughout all your territory.” He then condemned them as having any rights to claim favor from Yahweh, by writing, “By your own act you shall lose the heritage that I gave you, and I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever.” That “forever fire” is eternal damnation of their souls. Only Yahweh is a forever gift of favor. Wealth in the material realm only lasts until death separates a soul from its dead matter.

In these six verses there is no mention of Judah. That name only appears once in the entire chapter of Jeremiah’s book. The name Jerusalem appears three times, all well beyond the scope of the verses read today. When “Judah” is seen to mean “Praised” or “Let Him Be Praised” [meaning Yahweh] and “Jerusalem” is seen to mean “Teaching Peace” or “In Awe Of Peace,” then everything written in this chapter applies to all people, at all times, as the punishment for sins [those rejecting Yahweh and His Covenant] applies to all people, not just the Jews of Judah. This is why this reading is read during the after the Epiphany time period.

This reading selection from Jeremiah is only scheduled to be read on the sixth Sunday after the Epiphany, Year C, with one other possibility being Proper 1, Year C. The problem with that is the sixth Sunday after the Epiphany only occurs when Easter is later in the year [allowing for more than five Sundays after the Epiphany], but there is only a Proper 1 set of readings, when Easter comes early in the year, reducing the period after the Epiphany to less than six. So, the plan is an either or, not a both. So, addressing the punishment of sins is an issue rarely put forth, through this reading from Jeremiah.

Verse five states the proper name “Yahweh” twice. Jeremiah begins by saying, “Thus says Yahweh,” which only a true prophet of Yahweh can state truthfully. Simply by seeing that presence within Jeremiah can the assumption be made that Jeremiah was not a sinner, because Yahweh spoke through him. To then follow up that statement of divine possession by saying, “cursed the man who trusts in mankind [“ha-adam”], this says “a man cursed” is not possessed by Yahweh. Instead, those souls have put their faith in themselves or others like them. For Jeremiah then speak as Yahweh, saying “flesh is the strength [that mankind counts on, which] puts Yahweh out of their heart,” the aspect of “heart” [“lib·bōw,” from “leb”] is the love that marries a soul [“leb” means “inner self”] to Yahweh. It is thus divine marriage to Yahweh’s Spirit that possesses the non-sinners, allowing Yahweh to speak through them. The “curse” placed on “man” is the same self-inflicted “curse” that Cain took, when he rejected Yahweh and killed his brother Abel.

Verse six then has Jeremiah speaking still as Yahweh, when he compares the souls of those who place their faith in the abilities of the flesh to bring them great rewards [rejecting the promise of salvation from marriage to Yahweh]. That is said to be like a shrub that grows from the soil [earth, ergo the dust and clay of “flesh”], which is dependent on rainfall to grow [another natural element of the earth – water]. This dependence on self or other selves will always lead to a “wilderness” environment, where the lack of inner emotions [the dew of heaven] will “parch” one’s soul, making life on earth become a “desert” condition. The use of “salt” [from “mə·lê·ḥāh”] means the “land” [more metaphor for “flesh”] will be “barren” and the lack of “inhabitants” [from “ṯê·šêḇ”] means the material realm is the only place one can “dwell.” There will be no giving birth to the Son of Yahweh; thus, there will be no promise of eternal salvation, when a soul can count of “dwelling” in heaven after the death of the flesh [an inevitable occurrence].

Verse six ends with the semekh, so one can see that Yahweh’s comments through Jeremiah are completed at that point. This mark then denotes that the voice of Jeremiah has returned to the text, still with the understanding that Yahweh leads his words at all times. The mark lets the reader know that Yahweh’s direct quote is ended.

Verse seven is then a short statement, but it too states the proper name “Yahweh” twice. In the NRSV translation, which says [“Yahweh” corrections made], “Blessed are those who trust in Yahweh, whose trust is Yahweh,” the word translated as “blessed” is “bā·rūḵ,” from “barak.” While the translation as “blessed” is certainly true, the deeper meaning says “kneeling are those .” The act of “kneeling” is found at altars, in rites where two are joined in holy matrimony. The word translated as “those” is actually “hag·ge·ḇer,” which was written in verse five, stating “the man” [used prior as “the man cursed”]. Here, instead of being curse for rejecting Yahweh in marriage, “the man kneels” in a sign of submission to Yahweh, which means that soul has become the possession of Yahweh, as His spiritual wife. The element of “trust” can then be seen as the true “faith” that comes from a personal experience of Yahweh – one knows His power and glory. Through absolute submission of self, “Yahweh is” [from “wə·hā·yāh Yah-weh”] in the man’s soul, becoming the “hope” that is the promise of salvation.

In verse eight, Jeremiah then says the soul in a body of flesh that marries Yahweh and receives His Spirit will be like a “tree” [not a shrub] that is planted near a plentiful source of “water” [“mayim”], such as a “river” or “stream” [“yū·ḇal”]. This addition of the “water” element then symbolizes the inner emotions that relates to the love bond of marriage. The “flesh” that is a “tree” is given the ability to grow tall, due to the inner flow of living “waters,” which symbolizes the inner presence of Jesus’ soul. Whereas the “shrub” was “barren,” the tree is able to take the heat and drought and produce “leaves” and “fruit,” which becomes that which helps others to survive. The “tree” can then be seen as the “vine” that produces “good fruit.”

The NRSV turns verse nine into a question, which is not posed by Jeremiah. Verse nine is a statement, which is relative to the “fruit” produced by the “tree,” nourished by the flows of “water.” The literal translation of this verse is this: “tracked by footprints the heart above all and desperately sick it ; who can know it .” While the Hebrew word “” can translate as a question asking “who?” the fact that Jeremiah did not make this be stated as a question says “who” is Yahweh, as the one knowing one’s “heart” – meaning one’s soul. By reading “‘ā·qōḇ” as being relative to the “footprints” one leaves in one’s history, it is then the path taken by the sinners of the world – those who reject marriage to Yahweh – that invariably leads one from the “sickness” [from “wə·’ā·nuš,” form of “anash”] that is the near death lack of “water” and spiritual food. It is the pains of their souls, from having been driven by the soul’s own poor life choices to a state of despair, that they seek the “fruit” of Yahweh’s wives – His ministers – who feed those confessing their sins, realizing that Yahweh is “who knows” what is best for a soul.

In verse ten, Jeremiah turns the pen over to Yahweh, who again speak through the prophet, beginning verse ten by saying, “I Yahweh.” In this, the Hebrew word “ani” is a statement that says “I,” which is the first-person singular pronoun that states “self.” While it can be read as Yahweh speaking of Himself, the deeper value of this word’s usage says all whose personal self-identification is “Yahweh,” and their “I” has been willingly and lovingly placed in His “trust, so Jeremiah becomes an example of one whose “I” is “Yahweh,” making it possible for Yahweh to speak through Jeremiah.

Following the end of verse nine, where the seeming question was asked [as a statement of truth], “who can know it,” where “it” is one’s “heart” or “inner self,” the answer now becomes all who submit to Yahweh in marriage, so their souls can allow Yahweh to speak through them, saying, “I Yahweh.” Yahweh then said through Jeremiah that this presence as divine possession comes from a “search of hearts,” or Yahweh knowing what secrets are hidden within one’s soul. Not only is a soul “tested” for sincerity, as expressed in sincere confession, but Yahweh also wants the “mind,” where the influences of worldly desires linger, purged. It is the “mind” [from “kə·lā·yō·wṯ,” meaning “kidney,” implying “heart, inward parts, and mind”] that demonic spirits begin ‘live-in relationships’ that sway souls to follow the desires of the flesh. Yahweh knows what demon spirits try to hide deep within the convolutions of ‘big brains.’ A soul cannot fully submit to Yahweh, when it retains love of self, in any form, fashion, or shape.

This must be purged in confession, because without a soul coming to terms with why it is in great despair in the first place, the seeds of sinful thoughts will again take root and grow. Thus, Yahweh said He knew “the ways” and “the doings,” which is “the fruit” of the “shrubs” of the earth. While some berries might well feed the evil birds [dark angels] that enjoy the taste of a soul’s production of sins, those berries can be poisonous and useless to others of mankind. As the saying goes, “A tiger cannot change its stripes,” the same can be said of human souls in marriages [possessions] with demonic spirits [unclean spirits]. Those souls must absolutely divorce themselves from those unfruitful relationship; and, such a legal proceeding can only come with the help of Yahweh. This is how Jesus was able to cast out demons who possessed human souls.

Because this was Yahweh again directly speaking through Jeremiah, this verse ends with a semekh. Yahweh will speak at other times in this chapter, but those are not part of today’s reading selection.

As a reading for the sixth Sunday after the Epiphany, the point is to see even more the reason why one has been allowed to marry a soul to Yahweh. It is to give birth to His Son and enter ministry. One is expected to produce the good fruits of spiritual food, which will draw the true seekers to one. This is the ministry of a Christ, where Jesus speaks through one, just as Yahweh spoke through Jeremiah. The truth must be heard, so a lost soul can be found and come to the altar of marriage with Yahweh.

Jeremiah 23:23-29 – Lying prophets just dreaming they are gods

[23] haelohe nearby, says Yahweh, and not elohe far off? [24] Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them? says Yahweh. Do I not fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh. [25] I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, “I have dreamed, I have dreamed!” [26] How long? Will the hearts of the prophets ever turn back– those who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart? [27] They plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, just as their ancestors forgot my name for Baal. [28] Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let the one who has my word speak my word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat? says Yahweh. [29] Is not my word like fire, says the Yahweh, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?

——————–

These seven verses are taken from the middle of Jeremiah’s chapter twenty-three. According to my main study source – BibleHub Interlinear – the first eight verses are headed “David’s Righteous Branch,” with verses nine through thirty-two headed “Lying Prophets.” These verse come under that heading; but, there are fifteen verse leading up to these seven, with three more following them. One verse that I would like to add to this commentary is verse seventeen.

The Hebrew written is this: “’ō·mə·rîm ’ā·mō·wr lim·na·’ă·ṣay , dib·ber Yah·weh , šā·lō·wm yih·yeh lā·ḵem ; wə·ḵōl hō·lêḵ biš·ri·rūṯ lib·bōw ’ā·mə·rū , lō-ṯā·ḇō·w ‘ă·lê·ḵem rā·‘āh .” This literally translates into English saying, “them saying say to those with contempt for me , has said Yahweh , peace you will have to you all ; and all walking according to the stubbornness of his own mind them saying , not will come upon you evil .

In this, it should be noted that in Jeremiah 23 there are many times that Jeremiah wrote, “says Yahweh,” either as “nə·’um-Yah·weh” or “ā·mar Yah·weh.” This means Yahweh spoke through His prophet Jeremiah; but in this verse, where Jeremiah wrote “dib·ber Yah·weh,” he is referencing that said by ‘lying prophets and lying priests,” who (like the truthful Jeremiah) were expected to tell the people what Yahweh said. Here, Yahweh exposes those liars as “those (priests and prophets) saying (their divinely led inspirations) say to those (the people they lead) with contempt for me.” This means the liars do not believe in Yahweh, such that their seeing Yahweh as a worthless entity means they speak for Him, not believing He truly exists – because He never speaks to them, when they have told the people they are priests and prophets. Thus, the liars announce their lies as, “has said Yahweh.”

The lie that Yahweh here points out through Jeremiah is that which says the false priests and false prophets begins with the promise that says, “peace you will have to you all.” In that, “peace” (“shalom”) means “completeness, soundness, and welfare,” as the true meaning to “peace.” The meaning of “completeness” refers to the souls of those who are married to Yahweh and have become His Son reborn, so the “completeness and soundness” that comes to the souls is a return to be one with Yahweh – from whom they came. Birth into the worldly realm makes one incomplete or not whole, until those soul find the path that leads them to marry Yahweh and divinely unite with Him again. The lying priests and lying prophets do not understand that written in Scripture; so, they make things up to suit their needs.

The lesson the liars then preach is this: “No evil will come to you.” This is based solely on those of Judah, especially the leaders in Jerusalem, think they were born to eternal life, because their forefathers were true Israelites – those “Who Retained an inner Yahweh elohim.” This promise said all the people could do no wrong. The liars spoke that promise, with “all walking according to the stubbornness of his own mind.” That says their apparent sins could be excused as the right of God’s children to do as they please, as long as they confessed belief in God. Therein lies the lie that permeates all times, including in today’s branches of Christianity, where false priests take their lead from lying educators and lying organizational leaders, who all are “walking according to the stubbornness of their own minds.” To be led by a Big (lying) Brain and not a soul married to Yahweh, with Jesus as one’s Lord means there are a whole lot of people running around saying, “If Jesus were alive today, I am sure he would agree with my forgiveness of every sin under the sun, especially those I personally practice.”

There are nine use of the Hebrew letter samekh (“ס”), which appears singularly at the end of a run of verses. The seven verses selected for reading above begin after a “ס” and end with a “ס.” The final verses – thirty through forty – end with a samekh, meaning there are eight used to divide the first twenty-nine verses. A samekh is written at the end of a series of verses to denote the end of an important set of verses. These seven above are then the climax set of five sets of verses, with one verse (15) a subset, denoted by it ending with the letter peh (“פ”). Verse fifteen has Yahweh telling those like Jeremiah (true prophets and priests who stand because Yahweh raises them to speak for Him), the liars using His name will be “fed wormwood and made to drink the water of gall.” They are identified as “the prophets of Jerusalem” who “send forth profaneness (or pollution) into all the land.” The use of “פ” says shut up and do not say a word, as silence to ponder the meaning of “wormwood” and “water of gall” means they will be denied all spiritual food and everlasting waters.

In the seven verses, verse twenty-three begins by repeating use of “elohim,” in the form “elohe.” The word “elohim” alone must be seen as a statement of eternal spirits, gods, angels, and/or demons, as without an identification of Yahweh (as a “Yahweh elohim”) a soul equates to “elohe.” A soul is eternal and the natural lord over its body of flesh, from birth until death, unless possessed by another eternal deity made by Yahweh for the Creation. The literal translation says, “the elohe near at hand I says Yahweh ; and not elohe distant .” This then says the soul of the Son of Yahweh resurrected within a true prophet or true priest is then an extension of the hand of Yahweh in the flesh. Jeremiah was one such example. However, any soul that keeps the Son’s “elohe distant” or “far away” will be either self-important as a soul playing god or a soul possessed by a demon spirit (led by Satan). The implied question from these statements asks, who is speaking in the name of Yahweh? Is it a true prophet or true priest? Or, is it a liar?

Verse twenty-four is then accurately translated above, as it is Yahweh asking the same question Adam and Eve found out the answer to, after they had sinned in Eden. There can be no hiding from Yahweh, as there is no place where his is “secret.” The illusion of secrecy comes when one’s back has turned to Yahweh, so one can no longer see Him or feel His presence watching over one’s soul. The element of Yahweh asking, “do I not fill heaven and earth?” must be understood as metaphor for “soul” [“heaven”] and “flesh [“earth”]. Yahweh sent each and every “soul” (an eternal spirit, thus heavenly) into its body of flesh (prechosen as the “earth” a “soul” would fill); so, would He not know everything that would take place afterwards in the combination of that soul in its flesh?

In verse twenty-five Jeremiah wrote of Yahweh saying, “I have heard , what they have said the prophets who prophesy in my name lies saying , I dreamed I dreamed .” When we find the first-person construct repeated, where “I” says nothing about Yahweh, this says the liars are self-concerned. Whereas Jeremiah wrote so many times – in this chapter alone – “says Yahweh,” to say, “I have dreamed” or “I dreamed,” the “I” says Yahweh had nothing to do with their dreams. They saw figments of their imagination, while playing gods.

In verse twenty-six, Yahweh asked through Jeremiah, “how long will exist in the inner man (or mind, heart, will) of the prophets prophesying lies ?” In the use of “bə·lêḇ,” a construct of “leb,” the ‘heart-mind-inner man-will must be read as intending to ask about “how long will their souls exist?” As “prophets prophesying lies,” the damage done to their souls will be everlasting, with punishment due. Then, Yahweh repeated a construct of “leb,” asking, “and indeed the prophets of the treachery of their own hearts (souls) ?” This says these liars will bring about their own condemnations.

Verse twenty-seven is a very important statement that most assuredly applies to the liars that have permeated the various denominations of Christianity, since the Great Schism. The translation above puts it rather clear, as Yahweh saying through Jeremiah that the liars would: “plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, just as their ancestors forgot my name for Baal.” The literal translation says, “those thinking , to make forget my people my name , by their dreams , that they will count everyone his neighbor ; which they forgot their fathers my name for Ba’al .” This needs an in-depth breakdown analysis.

First, the focus is placed on “thinking,” which is a product of the brain, not the soul led by Yahweh’s Spirit. Big Brain syndrome is a fatal disease to the soul. Then, Yahweh says those Big Brains will plot, “to make forgotten my people my name.” The misconception made by a Big Brain is “my people” are Jews (the remnant name for the captive people of Judah and Jerusalem). Yahweh’s “people” are those souls in human flesh (“people”) who have married Yahweh, receiving His Spirit and joined with the soul of His Son (Adam-Jesus). The “name” is “Yahweh,” not anything lesser (such as “the Lord”). In the same way that the lost Jews of Judah and Jerusalem would cease calling Yahweh by His “name,” allowing for foreign gods that all were demon philosophies under Satan, as generic “baals” (a word meaning “lord”), the liars of today’s churches memorize English translation that replace “Yahweh” with “the Lord” (a.k.a. “the Baal”). To know the ”name” of Yahweh, one has to be a soul married to Him, as His wife-soul, who takes on her Husband’s “name” in divine marriage. A fully devoted wife-soul never forgets the “name” Yahweh.

When Yahweh then say, “by their dreams,” here again is an imagination that comes from the death of mortal sleep. The liars have fanciful imaginations that “think” their bad translations speak the truth to them; so, they can manipulate those bad translations (remembering all the forms of “elohim” and “adonay” are all shown in English translations as an interchangeable “God,” equal to “the Lord”) to fit their hidden agendas. Unfortunately, Yahweh already said, “He can see you plotting and preparing your lies in your hidden secret places, because Yahweh sees all and everything.” Only fools “think” they can get by with lying in Yahweh’s “name,” with their only excuse being, “I do not believe there is a God. Only fools believe in God; so, let me get rich lying to fools who do believe in God and believe I can speak for God and Jesus.”

When Yahweh then say one of their lies will be to define “everyone to be counted as one’s neighbor,” just look at how many lying priests and church organization leaders have turned their buildings into gathering places for political indoctrination. Illegal immigration brings people of mixed faiths together, with priests today claiming all are God’s children. Those are lies, which are based on their wild imaginations. Not once has anyone truly talked with Yahweh and heard His instruct a true prophet to allow those who hate you and want to destroy your religious beliefs into your midst. You love an enemy by allowing that enemy to live afar from you. Absence makes the heart grow fonder; and, fonder means the release of hatred. Bringing oil and water together – two elements that do not mix – will only find conflict and eventual separation. The true meaning of a “neighbor” is one’s soul being joined with the soul of Yahweh’s Son, who is “elohe near at hand, not elohe far away.” The soul of Yahweh’s Son is the only “neighbor” a true prophet is told to always love as oneself.

When the last segment of verse twenty-eight says, “which they forgot their fathers my name for Ba’al,” this element of physical lineage rejects those who mistake the meaning of “my people” as being a bloodline of Jews. Physical “fathers” that long before rejected Yahweh and worshipped Baals (read 1 Kings 18:20-40, which tells of Elijah against the 450 priests of Baal allowed into the Northern Kingdom by Ahab and Jezebel). The destruction of Israel and Judah speaks loudly of the fruit produced by the “fathers” who “forgot” the “name” Yahweh, choosing to worship dead gods (gods of the dead). As far as the Jews of today are concerned, in a 2000 census questionnaire, less than 50% who identified as “Jewish” said they “believed in God.” Those descendants of those physical “fathers” still have “forgotten the name” Yahweh as their God. They prefer the baals of politics, media influence, and the philosophy that thinks money buys everyone as their idols of worship.

Verse twenty-eight is then Yahweh saying through Jeremiah, “the prophet who has a dream let him tell a dream , and who my word he has let him speak my word faithfully ; what is the chaff to the wheat ?” This becomes reminiscent to the girl possessed to tell the truth, as an oracle who could not control her insights that came to her by “elohe.” Because her possessing spirit was not conducive towards leading lost souls to marry Yahweh, Paul cast out that spirit, leading to a legal dispute with the profiteers and businessmen of Macedonia (worshippers of baals). This says there are “prophets” – a word that also translates as “a spokesman, speaker” – that are just as belief-worthy as financial forecasters, who ‘foresee’ certain stocks to be on the rise, in the future. Those are “dreams,” based on Big Brain “thinking,” which may or may not come true, with everyone knowing those “dreams” of the future are like weather forecasting – liable to change.

This places “dreams” under the category of “best laid plans of mice and men.” Buyer beware. On the other hand, a true prophet of Yahweh will speak the truth of Yahweh, as Yahweh instructed him or her to speak it. They do so “faithfully,” having no idea what the future hold. They only know what they are told to say. The comparison is the chaff is useless stuff that protects the truth from being destroyed as it develops. Once fully developed, the “wheat” becomes spiritual food the seeking souls must have to gain everlasting life. All the lies of pretend prophecies must be blow away with the wind.

In the last verse of this reading selection (ending with a samekh), Yahweh asked through Jeremiah, “is not like my word like a fire ?” This means for a true prophet, to hear the “word” of Yahweh causes a burning desire to speak that “word” so others can hear it. The “word” of Yahweh is not for personal gain, designed to be kept under covers. It is “like a fire” in the way it spreads the truth so the truth cannot be ignored. This then led to the follow-up comparison, “like a hammer breaks in pieces the rock”. The “rock” is metaphor for a “stronghold” or “fortress” that is a wall built of stone, designed to keep enemies out. The “hammer” is then the strength that cannot be kept from “breaking to pieces” that which resists the truth. Each verse of Scripture is then a single “hammer” that “breaks apart” the lies that misconstrue the truth of that verse. Yahweh is the source of the truth that a prophet exposes. That exposure comes blow after blow and breaks apart the wall that imprisons the soul of Yahweh’s lost sheep.

This reading must be seen as a Track 2 alternative to the Track 1 Old Testament reading from Isaiah, where Yahweh exposed His “vineyard” had become overrun with wild grape vines. Those bad fruit are the equivalent to the lying prophets and lying priests who forget Yahweh and worship Baals. The lesson in the Isaiah reading was Yahweh will not replant the vineyard. He will let the liars choke the life out of a nation of people, so they would never again be the ‘children of Israel.’ They will have fallen on the ground and become wild grape vines, no longer choice. The result was to let everything turn to thorns and briars, which will become a wasteland void of replenishing waters from Yahweh (living waters). This means the only way to become a true child of Yahweh is to marry one’s soul to His Spirit and become the resurrection within one’s soul of the soul of Yahweh’s Son. All true prophets will be Jesus reborn. All who will be the good fruit of the true vine will be true prophets, called Saints. One soul at a time will be saved in His name, with “Jesus” meaning “Yah Saves.”

Jeremiah 1:4-10 – Another boy filled with the Spirit of Yahweh sent into ministry

[4] The word of Yahweh came to me saying,

[5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

[6] Then I said, “Ah, adonay Yahweh! Truly I do not know how to speak, for I am only a boy.” פ

[7] But Yahweh said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a boy’; for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and you shall speak whatever I command you, [8] Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says Yahweh.

[9] “Then Yahweh put out his hand and touched my mouth; and Yahweh said to me, “Now I have put my words in your mouth. [10] See, today I appoint you over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” פ

——————–

Here again is another story of Yahweh calling a prophet. We saw Him call Amos, Hosea, and Isaiah and now Jeremiah. While Yahweh came to some as visions, He came others as the Word. He came to Jeremiah when he was just a boy; and, this is how he came to David, as well as Samuel. When David went to Saul, as he and Israel trembled because of the threat of Goliath, David told him,

“Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” (1 Kings 17:34-37)

This is not because David was naturally strong and brave. It was because he too has voiced concerns about being so young – “I am only a boy” – but Yahweh told young David the same thing He told Jeremiah above. When Yahweh’s Spirit has been poured out upon one’s soul and that Spirit allows one to hear the voice of Yahweh speaking to one, then one’s soul has true faith that Yahweh is real and can defeat any foe. True faith, from personal experience of Yahweh’s Spirit and the voice of Yahweh within, through the soul of His Son one with one’s soul means no challenge is too big. No fears or concerns will need be expressed.

When Yahweh told Isaiah, in verse five, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations,” this says Jeremiah was like Jesus. He was sent into the world as a soul that had previously earned eternal life. The soul of Jeremiah had married Yahweh while in a prior body of flesh, going by a different name; and, his service to Yahweh – either by some unknown figure in the history of Judah and Israel, or as a famous prophet who served like Samuel, Nathan, or as a Judge – is unknown, but to be intuited. As for the name “Jeremiah,” it means “Yah Throws” or “Yah Loosens,” which can signify the reuse of a saved soul “thrown back into the fire” or “let loose upon the world,” as had been before.

In verse six, the NRSV translates “adonay Yahweh” as “Lord God.” This should make one wonder why they can make “Yahweh” translate as “the Lord,” while translating “elohim” as “God,” while also capitalizing “adonay” in the singular, as “Lord.” Both “elohim” and “adonay” are plural forms of “el” and “adon,” each meaning (in the lower-case) “gods” and “lords.” As I have explained many times before (read what I have written … pick any commentary), “elohim” is an eternal spirit-god-soul-angel, which can be of the world (usually a demon) or of the divine (from Yahweh). The meaning of “Yahweh elohim” is the creation of holy man (Adam) in Eden (along with holy woman, many call ‘Eve’). The prophets – all the central characters that serve Yahweh in all the Holy Bible – are souls born into human flesh, which have been merged with the soul of Adam – thus being divinely possessed by the Son of Yahweh’s soul. While that is the meaning of “elohim,” the meaning of “adonay” says that divine presence (even the demonic possessing “elohim”) becomes the “lords” over soul and body. So, what Jeremiah exclaimed in verse six is his inborn “lords,” sent by “Yahweh,” spoke out as Jeremiah’s soul, admitting his soul alone would not know what to say. The first-person “I” makes Jeremiah be yet aware of his inner “Lord” elohim of Yahweh.

On top of that, Jeremiah was saying he had not yet had time to memorize the entire Torah. He had most probably been putting in diligent study by that time in his young life; but he was still “just a youth.” His statement was telling Yahweh that he was not yet qualified to be a priest and lead others to the meaning of Scripture. This argument was said by Yahweh to not be a problem (in verse seven). Yahweh told Jeremiah that He would lead Jeremiah Spiritually, which does not require a Big Brain to figure out things.

When verse seven has Yahweh tell Jeremiah (paraphrasing some), “I will send you to where you will go and I will tell you what to say,” this is absolutely missing in today’s Christianity. If it is missing today, it was missing when Yahweh chose Jeremiah to be a prophet of His Word. I have heard a local Baptist minister say he was saved when he was under fifteen years of age. He has said several times in my listening, “I became a Christian then.” The problem with his assumption that a teenager (maybe pre-teen at twelve?) made (this Baptist minister) was to go to a seminary as a student sponsored by the Baptist Church. When he graduated from that learning experience, he was sent o under-developed nations (as far as the populace being a ‘Christian’ minority), by the Baptist Church. My wife (an Episcopal priest while alive) swore a pact with that Church organization, in particular to be obedient to the Bishop of her diocese; and, that is not being led by Yahweh to go where He leads and say what he says to say. Certainly one can calculate that Yahweh led both to go to seminaries and follow the lead of His guides to where they said go; but that is having two masters. Jesus said one cannot serve two masters. Jeremiah served only Yahweh.

In the NRSV translation above, verse eight says, “Do not be afraid of them.” In reality, the Hebrew text has written the word “third-person masculine plural construct, rooted in “panim,” where the word says, “of their faces.” This is a reference to the First Commandment (few fully understand it, due to poor translations), which says, ‘Thou shall not wear any face other than My face before me.” In that verse [Exodus 20:3], the last word written in Hebrew is “panaya,” which again is a construct rooted in “panim.” While it can also mean “before,” the point is the “face” stands out “before” one’s soul in the flesh. The “face” word is spiritual, not physical; so, one is expected to be a soul married to Yahweh and in that divine union be a bride that wears His “face before” one’s self, whenever one is in the presence of Yahweh. As a prophet or Saint, one is always in His presence; so, one’s soul always wears His “face,” as His wife (the meaning of “in the name of”). Thus, Yahweh instructed Jeremiah not to fear the “faces” of evil (self-egos of high title standing and pedigree in the religion of the children of Jacob), because they do not wear the “face’ of Yahweh and are worthless souls.

When Yahweh told Jeremiah, “for I am with you to deliver you,” that says Yahweh planned to send his prophet Jeremiah into the lion’s den to “face” evil leaders without fear. It says the soul of Jeremiah was promised safety; and, his known death (as a mortal body of flesh bound to die) would mean his soul would return again to serve Yahweh in the spiritual realm. This means Yahweh had no plans to go meet with the powerless and the misled and gossip about how the false leaders were taking the nation to ruin. Instead, he would confront the leaders and their priests and speak as Yahweh directly telling them where they were headed.

In the translation of verse nine, the NRSV misses a comma mark after hand, so the true translation says: “and put forth Yahweh his hand , and touched over my mouth .” This says that Jeremiah was “put forth” as the “hand” of Yahweh, another extension of Him in the flesh on the material plane. When Jeremiah was “put forth,” his “mouth” was “touched” from “above,” by Yahweh. The Hebrew preposition “‘al” means “upon, above, over.” (Strong’s) Thus, the “mouth” of Jeremiah was “touched” divinely and spiritually, with no physical hand reaching down from the sky to touch Jeremiah’s lips.

The remainder of verse nine is then Yahweh explaining what the word “al- pî” (“above my mouth”) means. Yahweh said, “behold! I have put my words in your mouth.” There can be no higher “words” than those spoken by Yahweh.

The same preposition “al” is then affixed to two words in verse ten, which state “above the people” and “above the kingdoms.” Yahweh said that His Word being “above the mouth” of Jeremiah made his spoken word as a prophet hold more weight than anything spoken by “the people” or the leaders (kings and priests) of the “kingdoms.” This same “above, over, upon” power that comes from the Word of Yahweh still applies today and at all times. This means when Yahweh puts His Word in the mouth of His prophets and Saints, sending them to the “people” and the “leaders” to tell them, “Yahweh says you are wrong and must repent immediately or face self-inflicted damnation,” the same expectations are found. The “people” and the “leaders” totally reject anyone who looks like Joe Schmo, who speaks the truth never heard spoken before. Jeremiah, like all prophets and Saints, have no fear of these wearing the “faces” of the worldly realm.

The “people” and the “leaders” of such ‘kingdoms as Church denominations (just like the Temple in Jerusalem and the Judeans – to be called Jews after captivity and release) are no different today. They have all sold their souls for a dollar and are to deep in spiritual debt to think about repenting and turning their backs on Satan’s lures. Still, the prophets and Saints are sent by Yahweh to “destroy” and to “cast down” false icons of worship. Yahweh is not found over the Ark of the Covenant anymore – the Covenant was long ago broken. Yahweh does not hang out in the Temple anymore – the curtain separating the Holy of Holies has been torn in half, from top to bottom. Yahweh also does not live in communion boxes where leftover industrial wafers and wine prayed over by hired hands. Yahweh only lives in the individual tabernacles that walk and talk in the name of Yahweh, like Jeremiah. Anything less that a soul married to Yahweh and sent to be His Son resurrected in the flesh will not do. They are the problem, not the solution.

Jeremiah 2:4-13 – The Spiritual divorce decree

[4] Hear the word of Yahweh, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel.

[5] Thus says Yahweh: What wrong did your ancestors find in me that they went far from me, and went after worthless things, and became worthless themselves?

[6] They did not say, “Where is Yahweh who brought us up from the land of Egypt, who led us in the wilderness, in a land of deserts and pits, in a land of drought and deep darkness, in a land that no one passes through, where no one lives?”

[7] I brought you into a plentiful land to eat its fruits and its good things. But when you entered you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.

[8] The priests did not say, “Where is Yahweh?”

Those who handle the law did not know me; the rulers transgressed against me; the prophets prophesied by Baal, and went after things that do not profit.

[9] Therefore once more I accuse you, says Yahweh, and I accuse your children’s children.

[10] Cross to the coasts of Cyprus and look, send to Kedar and examine with care; see if there has ever been such a thing.

[11] Has a nation changed elohim, even though they are no elohim? But my people have changed their glory for something that does not profit.

[12] Be appalled, O heavens, at this, be shocked, be utterly desolate, says Yahweh,

[13] for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water.

——————–

Not read today is verse two, which includes the words that translate to say, “the love of your betrothal, when you followed me into the wilderness”. This spoke of the “youth” of the children of Jacob, who had become true children of “Israel,” due to the love in their hearts and souls that led them to be married spiritually to Yahweh. This is Yahweh singing through His prophet Jeremiah about how that marriage has turned sour, due to the neglect of the children of that most divine union not following the ways of their prior descendants. This reading selection is, therefore, a divorce decree; and, it should be read as such, with all in history (including now) who parade around saying, “I am a child of God,” when they do nothing directed by Yahweh or His Law (the marriage Covenant). There is no marriage, nor any protection by Yahweh’s Spirit.

In verse four there are two proper names: Jacob and Israel. These should be read as the meaning behind the names, where “Jacob” means “Supplanter” and “Israel” means “Who Retains an el” of Yahweh – the soul of the Son. When this meaning is translated, the verse says, “hear word of Yahweh human supplanters ; and all the clans of human who retain the el of Yahweh .” The key word in this sequence is ”hear.” For all “who retain the el” of Yahweh, they will be prophets like Jeremiah (a name that can mean “Elevated Of Yah”) and be in direct communication with the God they profess to serve. If they depend of a select few to tell them what Yahweh wants (none of those being true prophets of Yahweh, but false shepherds and hired hands), then they cannot “hear the voice of Yahweh.” Those who maintain a marriage with Yahweh’s Spirit will know the meaning of the Law by hearing what to do Spiritually; and, they will do what Yahweh tells them (not what someone human says, attempting to “supplant” Yahweh as their lord.

In verse five, the key Hebrew word is “ha·he·ḇel,” which the NRSV has translated above as “worthless things.” The root word “habel” means “breath, vapor,” where the “worthless things” are reflective of “emptiness, futility, idols, uselessness, vanities and/or worthlessness.” This becomes the souls of those who are not divinely wed to Yahweh, in receipt of His Spirit and the resurrection of His Son’s soul within theirs; as a soul alone in a body of flesh becomes an “idol” of Yahweh, when it has connection whatsoever to the divine. Thus, to go “after worthless things idols, and became worthless vanities themselves” is the failures of the past, where Judge after Judge was sent to bring the wayward back onto the path of righteousness. When David became the answer to their prayer for a “king, to be like other nations,” no more Judges would be sent by Yahweh. Instead, He would send messengers (angelic prophets, like Jeremiah) to speak the Word of Yahweh to them. Nothing new would be said; as the Law never changes. Without the Law written on the walls of one’s heart (i.e.: in one’s soul by the presence of the Spirit and the Son), then one is always bound to find the failures of the past as the failures of the present.

In verse six is the proper name “Egypt,” which means “Married To Tragedy.” Seeing this, the verse says (viable translation into English), “Yahweh brought us up out of the flesh married to tragedy.” The “tragedy” all souls born into bodies of “flesh” (or “earth”) is death (being trapped within mortal bodies). To be “brought up out of” this “marriage to tragedy,” Yahweh offered those souls whose “love betrothed” them to Yahweh as His wives (bridesmaids proved worthy) the marriage to eternal life.

When the Hebrew word “eretz” – meaning “land, earth” – is read as metaphor for “flesh” – a soul breathed into a body of dust and clay – then the rest of verse six places focus on the “flesh of deserts, pits, droughts and the shadow of death.” That is the definition of a “marriage to tragedy.” When Jeremiah wrote “wə·lō- yā·šaḇ ’ā·ḏām šām,” the NRSV has translated this as “where no one lives,” the literal reality shows these words to say, “and none dwell Adam where.” The place where “Adam dwelt” was Eden, which is the spiritual realm of immortality, where only souls can live. Thus, the question posed is why would eternal souls trapped in bodies of dryness, sunk in the pit of the earthly realm (a body of flesh), and under the shadow of death ever seek to remain bound to repeat that future “life,” rather than choose to submit to Yahweh, receive his Son Adam’s soul and return to “dwell” eternally in Eden?

Verse seven then states the breaking of the marriage Covenant, which returns souls from the promise of eternal life, to the reality of a soul trapped in bodies in “the shadow of death.” The grounds for spiritual divorce are then said to be, “you defiled the flesh that was possessed by Yahweh in divine marriage. The “inheritance” of a promise for eternal life in Eden was turned into an “abomination.” One chose to serve self-ego rather than Yahweh, even while claiming His most Holy Name in marriage (as the children of Israel), when they spat upon that “possession” and yielded to the influences of the worldly realm and its governor Satan.

Verse eight then says the priests did not know Yahweh. Neither did the rulers over the people. The false prophets worshiped Baal and offered sacrifices of souls to a lesser god (a dead god, stripped of all power by Yahweh). Their false prophecies led the people to sin against Yahweh. This is spiritual adultery, punishable by death. Since all souls are eternal, a death sentence means the soul released from its flesh in death will be sent back into new flesh (a newborn, at some time in the future), to die again … and again … and again. This is the endless cycle of reincarnation, always ending in death.

In verse nine, Yahweh repeated through the true prophet Jeremiah, “I will bring charges.” The “charges” (from “’ā·rîḇ,” meaning “strive, contend”) are the grounds for divorce. When this is repeated as “against you” as also against “your children’s children,” this speaks of a permanent casting out of sinner souls forever. It will be their own souls condemned to death that will come back as their own “children” and then again as the “children’s children.” This is the permanence of the divorce “charges.”

In verse ten are the proper names “Cyprus” and “Kedar.” The word “Cyprus” means “Redeemed,” while the word “Kedar” reflects “Arabia,” as descendants of Ishmael. This becomes metaphor for the two types of souls in bodies of flesh. All have sinned, but only those of “Cyprus” have reached the coast of the sea of souls, to be replenished with everlasting waters. The opposite are those rejected as descendants of Abraham, sent into the wilderness to find eternal death in the dryness, pit, and shadow of death that is the worldly realm. This states the option is up to the individual soul. Yahweh invites all souls to submit to Him and serve Him as a wife-soul. However, some will be “redeemed,” but more will try to defile those true descendants of Abraham and be cast out.

In verse eleven Yahweh asked through Jeremiah about the inner “elohim” that possess the “people.” The NRSV has this ask, “Has a nation changed gods, even though they are no gods?” In posing that question that way, the NRSV recognizes the plural number of “elohim” and does not attempt to change it as a capitalized, singular “God.” The truth of the word “elohim” is it is an eternal spirit-soul-angel-demon that is not always the “Yahweh elohim” of Genesis 2 – the soul of Adam (a.k.a. Jesus). Thus, the repetition of “elohim” makes this question ask, “has changed people elohim . and they not gods ?” This asks how a “people” can reject an inner divine soul possession and decide to reject the Yahweh elohim that is the Son’s soul one with their souls, as their Lord, to instead accept a lesser elohim as their lord (a demon spirit possession)? The only way such a rejection could ever take place (sins divine possession last for eternity) is for the souls of the “people” to see themselves as “gods.” They then never submit to a divine union with Yahweh, choosing instead to be “gods” over their bodies of flesh; but that foolishness only leads those souls to be demonically possessed. Therefore, “it does not profit” any such souls.

Verse twelve then states of this loss of profit will be quite a shock, most especially when death and Judgment comes. The Hebrew word “shamayim” translates as “heavens,” but this should be read as metaphor for “spirits” or “souls.” It will then be those “souls astonished” by Judgment for their sins and rejecting marriage to Yahweh. They will find that Judgment to be quite “desolate” and a soul found full of “fears.” This is not the opinion of Jeremiah, but the truth stated by “Yahweh,” in Judgement.

Verse thirteen then sings that the divorced wives of Yahweh have committed two evils.” The first is they have “forsaken the fountain,” which is the everlasting waters that replenish the soul and keep it true to Yahweh as His servant. The ever-living waters” that flow from this “fountain” come from the soul of Jesus – the Son Adam resurrected, without end. The second evil is to have made themselves out to be “cisterns” that retain the “fountain” of eternal youth – the quest that Ponce de Leon sought when he landed a ship in Florida. To pretend to be a container of everlasting waters is the evil of lying. Those “cisterns are broken and cannot hold water” that gives everlasting life. Only the soul of Yahweh’s Son can be that cistern that joins with one’s soul to keep one’s soul from ever having to draw water from a well to stay alive. Eternal life is promised through divine marriage of a soul to Yahweh and being reborn as His Son, whose divine soul becomes one with a host soul, elevating it as its lord.

Jeremiah 18:1-11 – Being a perfect vessel on the potter’s wheel

[1] The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh: [2] “Come, go down to the potter’s house, and there I will let you hear my words.” [3] So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was working at his wheel. [4] The vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as seemed good to him. פ

[5] Then the word of Yahweh came to me: [6] Can I not do with you, O house of Israel, just as this potter has done? says Yahweh. Just like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. ס

[7] At one moment I may declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it, [8] but if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will change my mind about the disaster that I intended to bring on it. ס

[9] And at another moment I may declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will build and plant it, [10] but if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will change my mind about the good that I had intended to do to it. ס

[11] Now, therefore, say to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Thus says Yahweh: Look, I am a potter shaping evil against you and devising a plan against you. Turn now, all of you from your evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.

——————–

When verse one says (literally translated into English), “the word which came to pass to Jeremiah from Yahweh saying,” this cannot be seen as Jeremiah sitting in a chair in his house, when Yahweh all of a sudden showed up at the door and said, “Hey Jere, meet me down at the potter’s house. I want to tell you something there.” This “word that came to pass to Jeremiah from Yahweh” was spiritual, where Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah’s soul; so, when Jeremiah heard the voice of Yahweh “speaking” to his soul, he immediately listened. Because ordinary Tom, Dick, and Harriets cannot hear the voice of Yahweh speak to he or he … ever … this ability of Jeremiah says his soul was married to Yahweh. As a wife-soul, his soul was obediently alert to hear the call of Yahweh and immediately respond as His loving servant.

In verse two, there is a missing element, which is the first word spoken by Yahweh to Jeremiah, which says, “arise” (“qūm”). This, again, is not Yahweh telling Jeremiah to get up out of his seat, but it is a spiritual direction that says, “Let your soul lift away from your flesh, so I can show you metaphor that is in the material world. After that word “arise,” Yahweh then said, “and descend” (“wə·yā·raḏ·tā”) “to house of the potter.” The “house” is a statement of the realm of the world where life is found; and, “of the potter” is better translated as “of the fashioner” or “of the former” (“hay·yō·w·ṣêr,” rooted in “yatsar”). This is then much less about taking the soul of Jeremiah down the road a bit to where some man made vases for the locals to buy and use and much more about Yahweh taking the soul of Jeremiah well back in time, to when Creation was in progress by the elohim created by Yahweh (in Genesis 1) did the work of a “fashioner” or “former.”

In verse three, the English translation above misses an important signal found in the text. Where we read, “and there he was,” the Hebrew text has this text presented: “[ wə·hin·nê·hū] ( wə·hin·nêh-) ( )” . The repeated word – “wə·hin·nê·hū” – speaks spiritually, rather than physically. Thus, when verse three begins by saying, “and when I descended to the realm of the fashioner,” a semi-colon mark separates that by the above text, which repeats: “and there was he and there was he,” where the brackets speak spiritually of the elohim “fashioner” of mankind in Creation AND there was Yahweh overseeing that work.

Genesis 1 includes the same Hebrew word “והנהו” written here, translated as “and there was he.” In Genesis 1:31 (the last verse), that word is written and translated as meaning “and indeed it was,” followed by the Hebrew word “towb,” meaning “good.” Thus, here the translation can be: “and indeed it was and indeed it was he”. Without understanding why Jeremiah would place certain words between brackets and parentheses means translation services throw that out as if unimportant and not worth figuring out. The unstated (as asides) are inferences to the spiritual; so, the soul of Jeremiah was taken to the time of Creation, when saw mankind being “fashioned.”

When verse four begins by stating, “and was gone to ruin the vessel,” when understanding the soul of Jeremiah has been transported to a time when mankind was being “formed” by the hand of the elohim “fashioner,” the aspect of a “ruined vessel” must be seen as when the elohim began hideous experiments with humanity, with the creation of grotesque monsters and giants. As “vessels,” each was designed (by Yahweh) to receive a soul that would animate the “vessel” to life. Because Yahweh’s plan did not allow the elohim the freedom to make horrendous changes in mankind (male and female they made them), the Great Flood would become the event that would be when “again he made it into vessel another , as good it seemed to the fashioner to make .” This was when all the monsters had been destroyed or driven underground, so the mankind stemming from Noah (descendant of Adam – the Son of Yahweh) would be Yahweh’s design that would be “good to make”.

Thus, the first four verses speak of the design of Yahweh, whose instructions were passed on to the “fashioner” or the “former.” This element of the “potter” must be seen as parallel of Genesis 1, where the “fashioner” were the elohim that were created by Yahweh to “form” the material plane. The “former’s house” is then the Earth which spins around the Sun on a flat plane orbit, as a spinning “wheel.” When Yahweh allowed Jeremiah to see the “ruin” of that being “made of flesh” (metaphor for “clay”), it was “reworked” or “again made.” This becomes parallel to the Great Flood that destroyed all that had been “formed,” but went wrong in formation. The Great Flood was followed by Noah and Shem begetting the royal line of souls that would become the spiritual descendants of Abram.

The placement of a “peh” (“פ”) at then end of verse four signals this important section is “open.” This says the four-verse presentation of Creation of mankind, with it becoming “marred” while still in a wet “clay” state ends with that story, while opening the following verses to “close” that perspective. The ending of verses six, eight and ten with a samekh (“ס”) means the open series is then “closed,” with three closures presented, with all relating to the Great Flood’s cleansing of the “ruined,” to be replaced with a new “formation.”

Verse five then repeats verse one, with Jeremiah replacing his name with “to me” (“’ê·lay”). The promise of Yahweh speaking to Jeremiah is then fulfilled, after his soul has seen the power of Yahweh to command changes to His creations. Here, Yahweh poses a question that implies Yahweh’s command of the elohim He created makes Him be the premier “former” of “fashioner,” whose hands hold the spirits that are the elohim, so they can be reshaped and remade when He seen “ruin” in their “formation.” This becomes an unstated question about the power of Yahweh to cast down into the earth the fallen angels who rebelled against Yahweh’s command to serve mankind. When they instead decided to make monsters of animal-man (male and female they were crossbred with the elohim (or “gods”), their “potter’s clay” was redone and they were forbid from ever touching the spinning wheel physically again.

When this deep concept is seen in this text, Yahweh then commanded Jeremiah to go “the house of Israel” and explain to them (again) what that house means. The word “Israel” means those people (not a nation) “Who Retain the el of Yahweh” – His elohim that is the Son. For all souls who do not marry their souls to Yahweh, so their souls can be cleansed of imperfections and made virginal to receive the soul of the Son within their souls, then those rejects will be smashed down onto the wheel, no longer the “ruined” work it had become. With that ‘return to Go’ done, everything the failed “house of Israel” would have become will be finished. This command to Jeremiah to know the power in the hands of Yahweh ends with a closure mark, showing Yahweh can ‘Great Flood’ the wicked calling themselves “Israel” falsely, so the world will be swept clean of their “ruined formation.”

In verse seven, Yahweh said, “the moment I speak , concerning a people and concerning a sovereignty ; to root out and to break down to perish .” This says the manner in which Yahweh “speaks” to “a people” who claim “sovereignty” due to having been “fashioned” by the hand of Yahweh, but are not perfectly made by His design, those words will be heard in the dismantling of all who falsely make such claims in Yahweh’s name as the “immediate” destruction of the “ruined vessel” they truly were.

In verse eight, those who hear that word of Yahweh spoken in the signs that lead to “perishing” as ”a people” and as “a sovereign” gathering in Yahweh’s name, so the “people” change their wicked way and repent, then Yahweh will save them. To see Yahweh saying “I will relent from disaster” as a statement that says, “I will save them from their self-made disaster,” the implication is the “people” themselves cannot keep themselves from heading towards “disaster.” Therefore, only “Yahweh Will Save,” which is a promise that says “I will console their souls from disaster” by sending their soul the soul of My Son to join with their souls. This leads to another mark of “closure,” related to the Creation story told prior. Yahweh created “a people sovereign as the truth of Israel,” all of whom received His Spirit and were each the resurrection of His Son’s soul. That addition to the “clay” of those “vessels” is the only way to avert “disaster.” Thus, Yahweh created His Son on the seventh day – the day made holy – for the sole purpose of saving mankind from “disaster.”

In verse nine, Yahweh spoke of the “moment His word decides to build and plant a people of His sovereignty.” This is then followed by verse ten, where once again there are spiritual statements of unstated physical words (as seen in verse three). The translation above that says, “but if it does evil in my sight” misses the point of Jeremiah writing “wə·‘ā·śāh [hā·rā·‘āh ] (hā·ra‘ ) bə·‘ê·nay,” where the non-bracketed and non-parenthesized translates into English saying, “and if it makes in my eye”. This becomes the inspection of a “vessel” by the “fashioner,” to “see” if any imperfections are showing. The unstated spiritual word repeated implies that “made” is “evil” or “bad.” As an unstated spiritual implication, this says that which is “evil” is demonic spirit possession. Such demons possess a soul in its flesh (or ‘clay”), “making” it commit sins that are known by Yahweh. The acts committed are the signs of “ruin,” but the “evil” is spiritual, thus invisible to the naked “eye.”

When Yahweh then said “if a people formed in the image of Yahweh make it known they are imperfect,” then they will make that “evil” known by “disobeying His voice.” That says everyone of those “people” should be exactly like Jeremiah, such that each awaits the call from Yahweh and immediately responds, “Here I am” when called. When Jeremiah becomes the exception to that rule, then the people have given an unspoken sign that “evil” has possessed their souls. At that time, everything promised as “good” for “a people” will be taken away (“I will relent”). This then is where the third sign of “closure” is placed, referring back to the open series about the Creation plan and the cleaning of the wheel with the Great Flood.

Verse eleven is then the command given by Yahweh to Jeremiah, to “speak now to the men of Judah (a name that means “Praiser”) and to the souls dwelling in Jerusalem (a name meaning “Teaching Peace”)” and tell them, “behold Yahweh is fashioning their disaster and devising a plan against them”. If they want to avert their self-made destruction, then they must “return now man from evil ways and make good your ways and your doings”. That says the imperfection seen by the “eye” of Yahweh is telling Him to destroy and start over. The only way to avoid that destruction is to marry their individual souls to Yahweh and give rebirth to His Son in each of their souls. Of course, knowing the end of that story, they rejected the messenger and the message.

The moral of this story applies to everyone, at all times. Disaster is manmade and assured to all mortals. The ways of salvation are the perfect plan set forth by Yahweh, through Moses. The Commandments can only be remembered and lived when the Son of Yahweh’s soul has become one’s inner Lord, controlling the soul and its flesh (“clay”). To reject that design is to be reworked after destruction.

Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28 – Yahweh speaking of Judgment Day

[11] At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem: A hot wind comes from me out of the bare heights in the desert toward my poor people, not to winnow or cleanse—[12] a wind too strong for that. Now it is I who speak in judgment against them.

—–

[22] “For my people are foolish, they do not know me; they are stupid children, they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil, but do not know how to do good.” [23] I looked on the earth, and lo, it was waste and void; and to the heavens, and they had no light. [24] I looked on the mountains, and lo, they were quaking, and all the hills moved to and fro. [25] I looked, and lo, there was no one at all, and all the birds of the air had fled. [26] I looked, and lo, the fruitful land was a desert, and all its cities were laid in ruins before Yahweh, before his fierce anger.

[27] For thus says Yahweh: The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end. [28] Because of this the earth shall mourn, and the heavens above grow black; for I have spoken, I have purposed; I have not relented nor will I turn back.

——————–

In verses eleven and twelve, the Hebrew word “rū·aḥ” (“ruach”) is repeated, which has been translated as “wind.” Such a translation is just if this were not Yahweh speaking to His sinful people. Because Yahweh is the supreme deity that is all Spiritual, then this word must be read on a spiritual level that speaks of the “souls” – “breaths” of life – that will be removed from these “daughter of my people” (from “bat-‘am·mî,” translated above as “my poor people”). This reference to “daughter” says Yahweh’s true people had left children that were bridesmaids-to-be (as a “daughter”), just as were their parents, who settled Canaan and called that land theirs by Yahweh’s desire. The gift of physical land was a wedding gift to the people whose souls were married to Yahweh. This is not the same (but comparable to) the gift of “breath” to the earth that forms a body of flesh. Each “daughter of Yahweh’s people” had been given a body of flesh at birth – first “breath” – when their souls were freely given as gifts by Yahweh into the material realm. To make a claim to physical land their ancestors – true Israelites – had, as wife-souls of Yahweh was a false claim. Thus, with their souls removed from their bodies (like those daughters of Yahweh’s people would be removed from “Jerusalem”), those “breaths” of life would come stand before Yahweh’s throne, where He would “speak judgments against” those souls. These verses were chosen to be read selectively, prior to the remaining verses: 22 to 28.

In verse twenty-two, words stating: “foolish” (“’ĕ·wîl”), “they have known” (“yā·ḏā·‘ū”), “silly” (“sə·ḵā·lîm”), “them discerning” (“nə·ḇō·w·nîm”), “the wise” (“ḥă·ḵā·mîm”), and “not they have known” (“lō yā·ḏā·‘ū”) all reflect upon human intellect. Human intellect – the Big Brain disease – never leads one to sacrifice self to Yahweh in divine spiritual marriage. Instead, it makes them “fools” who act “silly, trying to “discern” the most profitable path to travel, such that human “wisdom” only leads to acts of evil. They have no spiritual insight that allows “them to know” how good works are done.

In verse twenty-three, Yahweh said through Jeremiah, “I beheld the earth , and lo! without form and empty ; into heavens and no light .” While this makes it appear that Yahweh was the Creator of the universe, making Him be All-Knowledge and All-Powerful, the intent of this verse is to state the metaphor of humanity. The “earth” is the flesh” into which Yahweh breathes a soul, The flesh is incapable of setting its “form,” because it is “void” of life without a soul. All “earth-flesh” is dead, meaning all souls breathed into dead matter are imprisoned in a mortal state of existence, all flesh being bound to die. The metaphor of “light” is the awareness of the truth that allows human souls realize Yahweh is the escape from this prison that always ends in death (while a soul is eternal, coming from Yahweh). The “light” is then the soul of Yahweh’s Son being sent into lost souls that turn to Yahweh in divine marriage. The “light” can only come from Yahweh’s “Spirit” (the metaphor for “heaven”) making that resurrection possible. The “fools” of Jerusalem denied this, which is only capable of being known when one’s soul has married Yahweh. The Big Brain disease blocked the Jews from seeing by this “light.”

Verses twenty-three through twenty-six all begin with Yahweh saying, “I beheld.” Verse twenty-five ends with a samekh, which indicates closure of a thought or series of thoughts. Since verse twenty-one also ended with a samekh, a new series of thoughts was begun in verse twenty-two, ending in verse twenty-six. Four of these verses relate to what Yahweh “saw.” Verse twenty-four then speaks of the “mountains” that “trembled” and the “hills” that “moved back and forth.” Since the ”mountains” and “hills” are elements of the “earth,” they become metaphor for the humans who tower over others (the “hills”) as their kings. For as powerful as those rulers of the “earth” are,” Yahweh “beheld” them “trembling” in fear, when released from their “mountainous” bodies of flesh and stood as naked souls before Yahweh throne for Judgment. The “mountains trembled” because they were the rulers that forced the “hill” to move back and forth,” depending on the latest whims coming from the Big Brains possessed by the kings and their court of thinkers. The ”hills” were seen to always follow those whims of rule, none of which led them to commit their soul to Yahweh in marriage.

Verse twenty-five then speaks that Yahweh “beheld” that there was “no Adam” or “no man” that represented His Son in those “mountains” and “hills.” None of them had that “light” given to them “Spiritually.” When the Hebrew construct “‘ō·wp̄” is translated as “birds,” it misses the truth that “oph” means “flying creatures.” When the spirituality of this message is realized, the “flying creatures” reflect the “elohim” of Creation, or the “angels” that Yahweh has commanded to serve mankind. That service is only for souls married to Yahweh; so, a lack of wife-souls in Yahweh’s name, reborn as His Son, means all the “angels of spirituality have fled.”

Verse twenty-six then sings about Yahweh having “beheld!” the “fruitful land” that was the truth of “Israel” had become a “wilderness.” When “fruitful” means becoming a true “fruit” of the Spiritual vine, the ‘wilderness” says there were no souls in flesh reborn as Adam-Jesus, ministering to the needs of lost souls. This “wilderness” is then described as “all the cities having been broken down in the presence of Yahweh.” That translation misses the intent of “broken down” also meaning “pulled down” (“nathats”) and “in the presence of” actually says “their faces” (“mip·pə·nê”). This then says none of the gathering of people in “cities” (places of “excitement”) would find them wearing the “face of Yahweh,” as the First Commandment (the first vow of divine marriage) states. Without that “face” leading their souls, it having been “pulled down” by royal orders of kings, the places intended to be “fruitful” had fallen into a wasteland of wild grapes. This state of negligence caused “the face [of Yahweh] to show anger in His nostrils.” The ”breath” of life will “face” Judgment when separated from their precious “earth.”

Verse twenty-seven then simply says, “Thus says Yahweh: desolate will be all the earth ; and yet a full end I will not make .” Here, again, the word “earth” (“erets”) is metaphor for “flesh.” The “waste” or “desolation” of the “flesh” simply means that the “flesh” is made of death and bound to return to that state, when the “flesh” can no longer support a “breath” of life (a soul). To then find that the death of the “flesh” “will not make a full end” says the soul that was imprisoned in a body of “earth” still lives, as it is eternal, coming from Yahweh. To “not make a full end” means a soul that has erred and followed the flawed logic of a Big Brain will find it release from an “earthly” prison temporary. The result is reincarnation, where the Judgment of a wayward soul is to return into a body of “earth” and try again. Sadly, those souls who once filled the scope of “mountains” will return as a simple “hill” or plain.

Verse twenty-eight then says that Yahweh – the true King – has made a Law that will not be changed. Human kings use Big Brains to make adjustments to Law, to suit their needs. This gets their souls into a “mountain” of debt that must be paid. Yahweh will make no such adjustments to His Covenant for divine marriage. If a soul agrees to the terms and fully and willingly submits to serve Yahweh forever, He will erase their sins by the Baptism of His Spirit; and, then He will send in the soul of His Son to maintain compliance of that agreement, forever and ever.

Jeremiah 8:18-9:1 – Made to be a daughter of Yahweh’s people

[18] My joy is gone, grief is upon me,

my heart is sick.

[19] Hark, the cry of daughter of my poor people

from far and wide in the land:

“Is Yahweh not in Zion?

Is her King not in her?”

(“Why have they provoked me to anger with their images,

with their foreign idols?”)

[20] “The harvest is past, the summer is ended,

and we are not saved.”

[21] For the hurt daughter of my poor people I am hurt,

I mourn, and dismay has taken hold of me.

[22] Is there no balm in Gilead?

Is there no physician there?

Why then has the health daughter of my poor people

not been restored?

—–

[1] O that my head were a spring of water,

and my eyes a fountain of tears,

so that I might weep day and night

for the slain daughter of my poor people!

——————–

In these selected verses taken from Jeremiah 8, Yahweh has spoken to His prophet about the anger He has for the waywardness of people claiming to be His children. That anger will allow Yahweh to let the Judeans to have as much rope as they want to hang themselves. Then, when released from their bodies of flesh they worship as gods, they will face the full wrath of Yahweh in Judgment for their souls. These verses 18 – 22 are Jeremiah’s mourning words for the people he was one of, although Jeremiah did not stray from the voice of Yahweh.

It is important to realize that Jeremiah wrote (in Hebrew) “baṯ-‘am·mî” four times. Each time, the translation read aloud by the Episcopal Church shows “of my poor people.” The Hebrew word “ammi” (construct from “am”) says “my people.” The word “bat” means “daughter,” as the feminine version of “bar” (meaning “son”). The NASB translates all of these verses correctly, as “the daughter of my people.” However, the Episcopal Church – which goes to great lengths to change Greek text that says “brothers” (“adelphoi”) as “brothers and sisters.” They do that to encourage the women widows in the congregations to see how important them bequeathing their estates to the Church when they did. Here, however, they decide to hide the femininity of “daughters” and simply infer that all women as “poor.”

Knowing this element of “daughters,” which is not a statement about physical females, but a statement of the femininity of a soul trapped within a body of flesh, where physical bodies of both genders are called “daughters,” these verses in Jeremiah’s voice (following many verses spoken by Yahweh) are not to be read as if he were assessing his physical torment, based on all Yahweh said. Jeremiah speaks spiritually about his soul trappend within a body of flesh, but one that has been promised eternal life after death, because Jeremiah’s soul was married to Yahweh, had received His Spirit of Anointment, Bpatized pure by that Spirit, and a soul where the soul of Yahweh’s Son Adam-Jesus had resurrected, becoming the Lord over his life.

Seeing that, verse eighteen is poorly conveyed as if Jeremiah were lamenting, “My joy is gone, grief is upon me, my heart is sick.” All of that speaks of poor physical Jeremiah, not about the soul of Jeremiah saying, “I comfort my soul in sorrow , over me my mind faint .” That says the sorrows Yahweh had projected as coming to the wayward Judeans was not Jeremiah’s to experience. His soul was “comforted” through its complete subjection to Yahweh’s Will in divine union. Yahweh had sent Jeremiah His Son’s soul to Lord over his soul-flesh, so “above me” is knowledge that is greater than “my mind” (where “lib·bî” means “my inner man, my will, my mind, and/or my heart”). That speaks of Jeremiah sacrificing his “heart, mind, soul” to Yahweh, totally and completely, out of the deepest love, as stated as the foremost Commandments. The use of “faint” is then a statement that all self-ego Jeremiah might have once possessed has grown “faint,” in its fading into the background (follower mode) of the soul of Adam-Jesus, which had become his Lord.

When that is seen as a strong statement by Jeremiah that his soul was a wife-soul of Yahweh, verse nineteen than presents the first of four uses of “daughter of my people,” where marriage is stated in “Yahweh in Jeremiah’s dry place” (the meaning of “Zion”), whereas the other wayward Jews were unable to find Yahweh bringing ever living waters of eternal life into their souls. Their souls had become dry, like a woman’s womb can only produce young for so many years. When Jeremiah asked, “If her king is not in her,” this is a statement about the penetration of marriage, on the bed of consummation. For any descendant of the people Moses led to the promised land to be called Israel, not to have Yahweh’s Son spring from each “daughter’s “ womb – a soul Baptized by the Spirit and made virginally pure – meant those wayward “daughters” had turned to “images and foreign idols,” which was akin to an adulterous affair by a bride-to-be.

In verse twenty, when Jeremiah says “the harvest is past, summer is over and we not are saved,” this speaks of the limited season of planting and growing, where this refers to “daughters” bringing forth new bodies of flesh (male and female) that will received souls (breaths of life) from Yahweh. Those new “daughters” are to be taught to prepare for divine union with Yahweh, so the “harvest” will be when one’s soul-flesh has died figuratively, so a new soul – that of Yahweh’s Son – can keep the expansion of eternal life, as truly “Yahweh’s people.”

In verse twenty-one, twice the Hebrew word “sheber” (constructed as “še·ḇer” and “hā·šə·bā·rə·tî”) has been translated as a form of “hurt.” The word means “a breaking, fracture, crushing, breach, crash.” This makes “darkness” (from “qā·ḏar·tî”) come from the “breaking” be the Covenant, which are the vows of divine marriage to Yahweh. Without the presence of Yahweh surrounding one’s soul-flesh (from His Spirit of purification) and the soul of His Son resurrected within a “daughter’s” soul, becoming it guiding light, then “horror” (from “šam·māh”) fills one’s whole being and the “waste” of a soul means it has been taken hold of by Satan and his demon spirits.

In verse twenty-two (the last of chapter eight), the name of the place “Gilead” must be known as meaning “perpetual fountain.” To say to this “no balm” and “no healer” in the void of one’s soul-flesh, then the “perpetual fountain” is the ever living waters of eternal salvation. The flesh can only develop sores and sicknesses; but those will all vanish when Judgment comes after the weak body dies away. A saved soul is cured of all ailments of the flesh, forever. There can be “no recovery” from sins and their markings upon the flesh and soul, because the only salve that can remedy the path of the wayward Judeans would for each to become a true “daughter of Yahweh’s people” and submit one’s soul to His service – willingly and lovingly – so the “health” of the soul is more important than the restrictions a body of flesh places on a soul.

It must be realized that verse one, coming from a new chapter (9) is not a natural continuation of that stated in a prior chapter. Because Jeremiah expresses his wish that the everlasting waters (Spiritual, not physical) within his soul could fill his “head” and flow from his “eyes like a fountain of tears,” which the wayward could drink freely from. In this, his “weeping day and night” says the light of truth would be exposed by living waters and the darkness of selfishness would be enlightened. Those “slain” are the souls in bodies of flesh that sacrifice their soul-flesh unto Yahweh, so they can be reborn in the name of His Son. If they die of evil deeds – self-sacrificing as “slaying” their own response to the urges of their flesh – and marry their souls to Yahweh, then they return to the truth of the status that is “a daughter of Yahweh’s people,” the same as Jeremiah and all Yahweh’s prophets.

Jeremiah 32:1-3a, 6-15 – A prophecy to buy worthless land on the promise it can be valuable some day

[1] The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of King Zedekiah of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. [2] At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and [3] the prophet Jeremiah was confined in the court of the guard that was in the palace of the king of Judah, where King Zedekiah of Judah had confined him.

—–

[6] Jeremiah said, The word of Yahweh came to me: [7] Hanamel son of your uncle Shallum is going to come to you and say, “Buy my field that is at Anathoth, for the right of redemption by purchase is yours.” [8] Then my cousin Hanamel came to me in the court of the guard, in accordance with the word of Yahweh, and said to me, “Buy my field that is at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession and redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.” Then I knew that this was the word of Yahweh.

[9] And I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and weighed out the money to him, seventeen shekels of silver. [10] I signed the deed, sealed it, got witnesses, and weighed the money on scales. [11] Then I took the sealed deed of purchase, containing the terms and conditions, and the open copy; [12] and I gave the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the presence of my cousin Hanamel, in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, and in the presence of all the Judeans who were sitting in the court of the guard. [13] In their presence I charged Baruch, saying, [14] Thus says Yahweh of hosts, elohe of Israel: Take these deeds, both this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware jar, in order that they may last for a long time. ס

For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the elohe of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land. פ

——————–

This is actually a rather simple story of prophecy, which prophesizes reincarnation, along with the continuation of prophets and priests who will be made available to the seekers of salvation, whose souls have (for the most greatest part) been abject failures to return and be one with Yahweh, forevermore ceasing their sinful ways. The metaphor of burying the deed in the ground is that of death, with the Covenant between a soul and Yahweh equally rising in future lives, so the two can be joined again “bought in this land equates to “so again dwellings of flesh and spiritual blood within flesh be possessed by in divine marriage by the elohim of those Who Retain Yahweh as their Husband.”

What is missed in the simple reading of these words, to reach that conclusion, is the depth and beauty of the words read simply as names – of people and places. There are fourteen such separate ‘names,” which are divinely written as a way of presenting the spiritual amid the historical, some of which may or may not be repeated anywhere else in the Old Testament. Those fourteen ‘names’ are:

1. Zedekiah – Yah Is Righteousness

2. Judah – Praised, Let Him Be Praised

3. Nebuchadnezzar – Protect Your Servant

4. Babylon – Gate Of God; Anointed, Saturated

5. Jerusalem – Teaching Peace

6. Jeremiah – Yah Throws, Yah Loosens; Elevated Of Yah

7. Hanamel – Grace of God

8. Shallum – Perfect, Agreeable

9. Anathoth – Answers, Afflictions

10. Benjamin – Son Of The Right Hand, Son Of The South

11. Baruch – Blessed

12. Neriah – Yahweh Is A Lamp, Lamp Of The Lord

13. Mahseiah – A Hiding Place Is Yah

14. Israel – Who Retains God

In the set-up that makes it historically be told when Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah, relative to when King Zedekiah had reigned over Judah for ten years, while Nebuchadnezzar had reigned eighteen years and his army was besieging Jerusalem, while Jeremiah had been placed under ‘house arrest,’ the story also says this:

“[1] The word that came to him elevated of Yahweh from Yahweh in the tenth year of king saying Yahweh is righteousness letting him be praised, which was the eighteenth year of he who protects your servant.

[2] At that time the army of the king of the anointed was besieging the teaching of peace;

[3] and the prophet elevated of Yahweh was confined in the court of the guard in the palace of the king praised, where king saying Yahweh is righteousness of the praised had confined him.”

In this translation, where the names have been replaced with the meaning of the words used as names, the antiquity dissolves and the same set-up can be seen as applicable to all times, in all places. The numbers ten and eighteen can boil down numerologically to one (10 = 1+0 =>1) and nine (18 = 1+8 => 9), which reflect selfishness (one) and conclusive change (nine). The title “king” is then either one who wears the crown of self or those whose souls have submitted to a higher power that Lords over their souls, as king. A place of “confinement” is more accurately translated as “imprisonment,” which should be seen as a soul being placed into a body of flesh, from which it can only escape from through submission to Yahweh, so death becomes a rite of passage into eternal life.

This then mean the leap forward from the set-up, to the story Jeremiah told of hearing the word of Yahweh speaking to him, this is then the story of his cousin (of an uncle) prophesied to come to him requesting that he buy land he possessed in a town in the region allotted to the Tribe of Benjamin. Because of Jerusalem being under siege, this land would have been in enemy hands and basically worthless. The metaphor here is a sinner (the “cousin” of an “uncle,” thus one related by blood to the land of Judah) coming to a priest of Yahweh offering his possession in the flesh to Yahweh, as payment for his sins committed. Because this “cousin” was sent by Yahweh and Jeremiah knew of it before it happened, this says Jeremiah confirmed the physical appearance and offer was not to be rejected (knowing the details of how worthless land in enemy hands would be at that time), but accepted. Jeremiah then accepted his “cousin’s” soul as surrendering to Yahweh in marriage, so there would be value well into the future, through eternal salvation.

The verses that tell of the prophecy and it being physically presented can then be read as this:

“[6] The one elevated of Yahweh said, The word of Yahweh came to me:

[7] grace of God born of your uncle perfect is going to come to you and say, “Buy my field that is at afflictions, for the right of redemption by purchase is yours.”

[8] Then my cousin grace of God came to me in the court of the guard, in accordance with the word of Yahweh, and said to me, “Buy my field that is at afflictions in the land of son of the right hand, for the right of possession and redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.” Then I knew that this was the word of Yahweh.”

Here, words such as “field” and “land” must be understood as being of the physical realm, thus of the “flesh.” The “court” of the “guard” is the flesh of a soul submitted unto Yahweh in divine marriage, becoming a priest in the name of the Son – Adam-Jesus. This is one “elevated of Yahweh,” so he or she can be the officiant in the salvation of seekers that also submit their souls to Yahweh. A “field that is at afflictions” is then a sinner who feels strongly the guilt of past deeds, who knows he or she must sincerely repent, in order to be saved. To “buy my field that is at afflictions” means to offer one’s soul up to Yahweh in divine union, so Yahweh’s Spirit will pay the ‘asking price’ – Baptism by the Spirit, eliminating all past debts owed for sins. This means the purpose of a prophet-priest of Yahweh is to receive those seeking divine union and prepare those willing to self-sacrifice for salvation for a most holy matrimony.

When we see how a prophet-priest of Yahweh is led by the inner voice of his elohim (Adam-Jesus) to know when Yahweh has led a sincere repentant soul to the altar of self-sacrifice, then the next set of verses can be read as forever saying this:

“[9] And I redeemed the flesh at afflictions from my relative (in Christ) through the grace of God, and weighed out the debt owed to him, eight (symbolic of power owed to authority) handful of sincere value.

[10] I signed the deed, sealed it, got witnesses, and weighed the debt as balanced.

[11] Then I took the sealed Covenant of commitment, containing the terms and conditions for salvation, and the scroll of Scripture;

[12] and I gave the repayment of debts owed to the blessed new son as a lamp of Yahweh the son existing in the hiding place of Yahweh’s new wife-soul, in the presence of my relative (in Christ) as the grace of God, in the presence of the angelic witnesses who signed the repayment of debts owed Yahweh, and in the presence of all those who praise Yahweh who were sitting in the temple of flesh saved still guarded on earth.

[13] In their presence I charged the newly blessed (meaning a Saint), saying,

[14] Thus says Yahweh of hosts, elohe of all who retain the elohim of Yahweh as their soul’s Lord: Take these promise of everlasting life, both this written on the walls of his or her heart by the hand of Yahweh erasing all past debts owed Him and this book of Scripture, and put them in an earthenware jar, in order that they may last for a long time. ס”

This then can be seen as always applying to the duality of the word of Yahweh that is heard by a soul, versus the written word of Scripture in scrolls and books, which demands the inner presence of Yahweh, His Spirit and His Son resurrected to understand the immensity of the truth the written word contains. It should be seen how deep the above translation becomes, when the whole of Scripture is allowed to unfold before one’s mind’s eye (led by the inner Lord of a Christ), so this goes well beyond the timing of Jeremiah in a waning Judah.

This then leads to the final verse, which says the following:

“[15] For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the elohe of all who retain the elohim of Yahweh as his or her inner Lord: dwellings and flesh and holy blood from the vine of Yahweh’s Son on earth shall again be bought in this physical world that imprisons reincarnated souls. פ”

This is important that “elohe” is a masculine plural form of “el,” as a shortened version of “elohim.” The word does not mean “God” (in the singular), and it only means “gods” (in the plural) when in a lower-case spelling. The word reflects ALL spirits, angels, souls and eternal entities created by Yahweh, with this including those demons spirits that have been cast into the earth, where evil is only allowed to exist. Yahweh placed it as the guards of imprisoned souls, to test if a soul will submit to Yahweh in divine marriage, in order to gain freedom to eternal life in the spiritual realm. The only way for this to happen is for a soul in its flesh to become like Jeremiah (and all the prophets, priests, and saints) and become possessed by “the elohe of Yahweh.” The alternative is to become married to the demons spirits of the world (evil elohim) and build up debt that will be impossible to repay when the fields where one sowed his or her sins is about to be possessed by Satan. The promise is reincarnation will not come without some prophets-priests-saints of Yahweh to become the “lamp of Yahweh” to lead a lost soul to the light.
