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

Leave a comment

[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.”

Psalm 82 – Being a guiding light to keep souls off the rocks

1 elohim takes his stand in the council of heaven congregation el; *

he gives judgment in the midst of elohim:

2 “How long will you judge unjustly, *

and show favor to the wicked? selah

3 Save the weak and the orphan; *

defend the humble and needy;

4 Rescue the weak and the poor; *

deliver them from the power of the wicked.

5 They do not know, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; *

all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 Now I say to you, ‘You are elohim, *

and all of you children sons of elyown;

7 Nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, *

and fall like any prince.'”

8 Arise, elohim, and rule the earth, *

for you shall take all nations for your own.

——————–

Not stated in this reading is the information stated first in verse one that says this is a “psalm of Asaph,” where the Hebrew word “asaph” means “gatherer.” In total, David wrote twelve psalms that were identified as “psalms of the gatherer.” Last Sunday, when Psalm 50 was sung, that is one of the twelve identified as a “psalm of the gatherer.” On this Sunday, the Track 1 accompanying Psalm 80 is another of those twelve. Now, as the companion psalm to the Track 2 Old Testament selection from Jeremiah 23, we read of another “psalm of the gatherer.” In the ordinary season after Pentecost, when souls should have become married to Yahweh’s Spirit, resurrecting the soul of His Son within each of their souls, the purpose now must be seen as ministry, where other lost souls are gathered, so they too can be saved by that divine union and commitment to Yahweh, as His Son reborn.

In verse one, the NRSV has translated “ba·‘ă·ḏaṯ-’êl” as saying, “council of heaven.” That misses the point of this being a “psalm of the gathered,” such that “council of heaven” conjures up visions of a bunch of high hat popes gathering in some Mediterranean Sea resort, in order to plan their trip to heaven. The literal translation says “in the congregation of el,” where the singular “el” is a statement of a collective of souls married to Yahweh, having received His Spirit, along with the resurrection of His “elohim” Son, so that “gathered” is a “congregation” of souls all devoted totally to one “god,” whose name is Yahweh.

Before David wrote of the “congregation of Yahweh elohim,” he began by singing, “elohim,” which is actually connected to the introduction that fully says, “a psalm of the gatherer elohim.” This says David was possessed by Yahweh, as His wife-soul, which had joined with the soul of Adam-Jesus, becoming his Lord. It was then through the presence of David’s Yahweh elohim soul that David acted as the minister who “gathered” the souls of the people who followed David. Just as Jesus told his disciples, “Follow me,” so too did David (as Jesus reborn) tell his disciples the same thing. The instruction was not to do what I command as king, but to marry your souls to Yahweh, in the same way that I have. Thus, the “gatherer elohim” had led the people to truly be a “congregation of el” – each a single soul married to Yahweh and reborn as His Son – which is the only way a nation of people can become sacred and set apart by Yahweh.

The ending words of verse one then says, “among elohim he judges.” This says that the “congregation of el,” where every one of the people could truly become named “Israel” – he and she “Who Retains el” as Yahweh’s wife-soul – had Yahweh “among” them, through His Son’s soul elohim, which became the Lord of each and every one, so Yahweh and Jesus “judged” their lives so they lived righteously.

This state of being is not a guarantee to last forever, simply because flesh can only live for so long, before it dies and releases a soul to the reward of eternal life. It is then up to those “gathered in congregations of el” to raise children – each who is given a soul of its own to rule its flesh – so those children’s souls also make the same decision as their parents, to marry Yahweh, receive His Spirit and be souls resurrected with the soul of Adam-Jesus to Lord them to righteousness. That caveat is then why verse two sings, “until when you will judge unjustly , and your faces to the wicked , show partiality .” This says the “congregation of el” will only be possessed by the divine “elohim” of Yahweh (His Son) after a divine union and commitment of total subjection to Yahweh. The souls of the children will invariably be led to be possessed by lesser “elohim,” who are not a “congregation of el.” Instead, those souls will “judge unjustly” towards Yahweh, choosing to marry their souls to Satan’s demons of sin. The Hebrew word “ū·p̄ə·nê” has been translated above (NRSV) as “show favorably,” when the word is rooted in “panim,” meaning “faces.” Those souls judging unjustly will show “faces” worn that serve lesser gods. Those lesser gods worship sinful things of the world, not spiritual commitments for eternal life.

When those children then rise to positions of power, after their Yahweh elohim possessed parents die in the flesh, then those corrupted souls will rule over the people as “gatherers” of those who allow sins, showing “partiality” to worldly ways. David ended this verse by singing, “selah,” which means “exalted” or “to lift up.” This says Yahweh has deemed this way as natural; and, that means one must know sins before one can truly subject to Yahweh from repentance and be saved from one’s unjust judgments and partiality to wickedness.

In verse three, it is easy to hear David sing, “defend the poor and the fatherless” or (NRSV) “save the weak and the orphaned,” but the words written actually mean “govern the needy and the fatherless.” When one has just heard a verse singing about wickedness and bad judgment, the aspect of “govern” has nothing to do with physical laws forcing one’s will on others. The “wicked” do that. This means “govern” is a statement of spiritual guidance to those soul that are spiritually “weak” and “poor.” Those souls are “fatherless” or “orphaned” from Yahweh – the Spiritual Father of His Sons reborn – and “needy” in the sense of being lost soul without eternal salvation gained. This is then a verse singing about the objective of ministry, born into souls who have the Son of Yahweh as their Lord. Thus, the ending words of this verse say, “to the afflicted and those in need do righteousness.” This means to be shining examples of those who had sinned and had then been saved, who were led to righteousness by a divine inner Lord.

Verse four sings of the responsibility of those saved souls, as David wrote: “they will escape the poor and needy ; from the hand of the wicked they will be delivered .” Here, their ministry and leading by examples, teaching the truth of Scripture, those who will have become spiritually “poor and needy” will have sought the truth and heard it from a minister in the name of Adam-Jesus, the Sons of Yahweh reborn. By receiving the truth and seeing the truth for themselves, those lost souls will be returned to the fold and become true Israelites – souls “Who Retain the el of Yahweh.”

In verse five, David sings of the inability for any lost soul to save itself from eternal condemnation. The literal translation sings, “not do they know,” with a vertical bar (“׀”) placed as a signal to stop and contemplate the brains ability to think of ways to save a self-soul. With that contemplation made, the rest of the verse sings, “not do they understand , in darkness they walk about ; they are shaken , all the foundations of the earth .” In this, the “foundations of the earth” should be read as metaphor for “all the leaders of the flesh,” who are the souls breathed out from Yahweh into every living creature. Those who rise to the top tier in civilization, as kings and queens, high priests and priests, who lead the masses, “they do not know” anything of value that will save a soul.

For as much as they have figured out how to cheat and steal from those who allow them power and influence, they cannot save their own souls, much less the souls of anyone else. They read Scripture, but “they do not understand” the truth it contains. This is because their Big Brains “walk about in the darkness” that is rejection of divine marriage to Yahweh, so His Son can come and lead them to true knowledge and a life of righteousness from that. This “darkness” is how they sense “they do not know” how to save their own souls, “nor do they understand” how to approach Yahweh with repentance. All of the “foundations” of a physical world cannot lead a brain to understanding the truth. Only true ministers reborn as Adam-Jesus can bring that divine knowledge forth.

In verse six, David sang about this source of divine knowledge, which he knew firsthand from the experience of having had Yahweh’s Spirit poured out upon his soul. David was inspired to write his psalms by this Spirit of truth within him. It spoke to him, singing “I speak elohim you many ; and sons of elyown all of you .” In this, David wrote “elohim,” which refers to the Yahweh elohim that is the soul of Yahweh’s handmade Son – Adam (a.k.a. Jesus – “Yah Saves”). The Hebrew word “elyown” is typically read as “Most High,” as a reference to Yahweh, as “God.” The reality (the truth) of “elyown” is the “highest” a soul in the flesh can achieve is to become merged (the resurrection within one’s soul) with the Son of Yahweh – receive the Spirit of a Yahweh elohim. The plural number of “elohim” (plural of “el”) then means Yahweh made His Son’s soul (the elohim of Adam-Jesus) to multiply and merge with the souls of many wife-souls that marry Yahweh and receive His Spirit (as did David). Those man then become the multiplicity of one Son of Yahweh, as the “sons of elyown.” All are “sons” because the spiritual realm is the masculinity of Yahweh – the Father – and His Son. Thus, males and females will have the “foundations of their flesh shaken,” realizing both sons and daughters of physical fathers and mothers all have souls born only of Yahweh. All the “children” of Yahweh as His sons reborn in their eternal souls.

Verse seven then sings the truth of the reason it is souls, not flesh, that is saved. David was inspired to sing, “surely like Adam you will die ; and like one of the princes you will fall .” This says that the “most high” – the “elyown” handmade by Yahweh, as His Yahweh elohim made to become the “highest” of two souls merged together in one body of flesh – a true Ephraim, being Doubly Fruitful – the physical fall of Adam (and Eve) from Eden was to become the same as those who possessed souls Yahweh’s Son would save. Adam (and Jesus like him) had to die in the flesh, even though both were born (or made by the hand of Yahweh) as eternal heroes – THE Saint soul. Thus, every soul who repents and sincerely does the work of Yahweh, rejecting the influences of the worldly domain, they will receive the Spirit upon their souls and their flesh will be reborn as the “prince” of Yahweh – His “elyown” resurrected in the flesh of a wife-soul. Even those “princes” must face death of their flesh, as did Adam and Jesus. Still, the presence of that “elyown” as e “elohim” within a human being, that soul-body will serve the remainder of his or her life as a Saint, taking the message of Yahweh’s truth out into the world, so lost seeker souls can be found.

As a psalm of the gatherer, this Psalm 82 ends with this lesson taught to those gathered to become as David was, not as one lost and rejecting marriage to Yahweh. David sings, “arise elohim govern the flesh ; for you will be taken as a possession to all of the people .” Here, the command says to “stand up” through the power of Yahweh’s “elohim” that has been poured out upon one’s soul, for the purpose of not only “governing” that single soul-flesh, but to “govern” all who need divine guidance to see the truth of Scripture for themselves. When the Hebrew word “nachal” (in transliterated construct as “ṯin·ḥal”) is translated as “inherit,” one misses the truth of the word meaning “to get or take as a possession.” This means to “inherit” the kingdom of God, a soul does not need to be born a Jew. Instead, a soul must become “possessed” by Yahweh, as His wife, who then is where His Son’s soul is resurrected. That “arising” within one’s soul becomes the “inheritance” that a Saint take to “the people,” so all seekers can get their share of the “inheritance” Yahweh promised to His “sons.”

Hebrews, Language, Teaching

Hebrews 11:29-12:2 – True faith in Jesus

Leave a comment

[29] By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as if it were dry land, but when the Egyptians attempted to do so they were drowned. [30] By faith the walls of Jericho fell after they had been encircled for seven days. [31] By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace.

[32] And what more should I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets—[33] who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, [34] quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. [35] Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to accept release, in order to obtain a better resurrection. [36] Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. [37] They were stoned to death, they were sawn in two, they were killed by the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, persecuted, tormented—[38] of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.

[39] Yet all these, though they were commended for their faith, did not receive what was promised, [40] since God had provided something better so that they would not, apart from us, be made perfect.

—–

[1] Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, [2] looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

This past Sunday, the Epistle reading was from this same chapter in Paul’s letter written in Hebrew. The focus of his eleventh chapter is “Faith.” My main resource for the Greek and English possibilities in translation is BibleHub Interlinear. That site lists headings for the various verses, denoting where focus changes can be found. Verses one through three are headed “Faith is Being Sure.” Verses four through seven are headed “The Faith of Abel, Enoch, Noah.” Verse eight through nineteen are headed “The Faith of Abraham.” Verses twenty through twenty-two are headed “The Faith of Isaac, Jacob, Joseph.” The verses from twenty-three through thirty (the last two in today’s reading) are headed “The Faith of Moses.” The verses thirty-one through the end of the chapter – verse forty – are headed “The Faith of Many.” Simply from these headings, it must be grasped that “Faith” is only applied (by Paul here) to the Patriarchs, who led to Abraham and then those who can rightfully claim spiritual lineage to him; and, this includes the “Many” that BibleHub Interlinear says verses thirty-one through forty place focus on. The “Many” is not the same as “the masses,” in the same way that “faith” is not the same as belief.

In verses twenty-nine and thirty, Paul used the plural pronoun “they” to denote those of true “faith” that crossed the Red Sea. It was also those of true “faith” that caused the walls of Jericho to collapse. Neither of those events had anything to do with human beings having become super heroes because they had listened to Moses or Joshua give a power-sermon, designed the fill them with so much enthusiasm (based on belief in the storyteller) that they overachieved greatly. The focus says every human being that followed Moses and Joshua were themselves just like Moses and Joshua, as spiritual descendants of Abraham. Their “faith” was due to them having become married spiritually to Yahweh, received His Spirit, and were the resurrections of His Son’s soul as Lord over their souls, so their “faith” was based on the Yahweh elohim within their souls. When Paul said the Egyptians attempted to cross the Red Sea but died, it was because of their lack of “faith” in Yahweh, even though their eyes say wimpy Jacobites crossing safely and believed, “If they can do it, so can we.”

In verse thirty-one, Paul mentions a woman of Jericho who assisted the spies sent by Joshua. When Jericho fell, her house was marked by a red cord around her doorframe, in the same way the Israelites were spare Yahweh’s Passover of death to the firstborn. This says Rahab was marked by Yahweh as a soul that was His. Her “faith” was not based on fearing anyone. It was based on love of Yahweh and questioning the religion of those leading Jericho. She can then be said to be the first of the converts from pagan philosophies to those who were souls descended from the absolute “faith” of Abram-Abraham.

In verse thirty-two, Paul continued quickly, naming in succession “Gideon, Barak, Sampson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets” as all being souls married to Yahweh (as Judges, the one true King of Israel, and those souls sent in their flesh to save the lost under bad leaders). Those names each had sacrificed their souls to do the will of Yahweh (study His Word), receive His Spirit, and give rebirth to His Son, the Lord of each’s soul-flesh. In between those named, Paul left out a vast number of people who lived in the lands entered by Joshua. Joshua brought with him only souls who were just like him in devotion to Yahweh; and, David would be the only king to have the same spiritual effect on the people he led.

Verses thirty-three and thirty-four speak of the victories that were known and credited to certain peoples; but all victories were due to Yahweh. The lesson of the Day of Midian” says Yahweh does not need the strongest, the best trained, or the meanest soldiers, and He certainly does not need many human souls (one was plenty several times) to defeat evil and its supporters. This says Yahweh could destroy evil at will; but the purpose of evil is to test the “faith” of those who serve Yahweh totally. Victory is more important to their eternal reward, than it is to a momentary battle won. Evil can only exist on the material plane. The true victory is to gain entrance into the eternal life realm with Yahweh.

Verse thirty-five is confusing when it is read as saying, “Women received their dead by resurrection.” The reference is not to “women” but to “wives,” as the meaning of “gynaikes” allows. When “wives” is read and understood to be the state of being that a soul born into a body of flesh is spiritually, all souls in the flesh are called upon to becomes the bridesmaids of Yahweh. All who pass the test of commitment will then become Yahweh’s “wives.” It is then those “wives” that Paul said, “they Received” (from a capitalized “Elabon”), which is the Anointment of Yahweh’s Spirit, which made those souls in the flesh (regardless of human gender) all become His “wives from out of of resurrection” (from “ex anastaseōs”), with the Genitive case stating divine possession in “of resurrection.” The possession is divine union between the Spirit and a soul, with “of resurrection” being the rebirth of Yahweh’s Son – Adam-Jesus within the wife-soul. This “resurrection” then allows Jesus to become Lord over their soul-flesh, such that their submission to Yahweh is in essence the “death of their souls” (from “nekrous autōn”). While “women” are included in this transformation, they are not exclusive as the “wives” of Yahweh,

When verse thirty-six begins by saying “others,” this is actually furthering the “resurrection” stated in verse thirty-five. The Greek word “heteroi” is the Nominative Masculine Plural form of “heteros,” meaning “other,” implying in usage “(a) of two: another, a second, (b) other, different, (c) one’s neighbor.” (Strong’s) This says the “resurrection” is then the divine soul of Yahweh’s Son – Adam-Jesus – being “resurrected” within a host soul, becoming one of two souls in the same body of flesh. The divine soul of Yahweh’s Son then becomes the Lord over that soul-flesh, which is the “resurrection” of the soul of Jesus in true Christians. When this is understood, the statements in verse thirty-six about “mockings, scourgings, trials, chains and imprisonment” were the “tortures” coming to the “wives” that were “of two.” This also says “one’s neighbor” that Jesus told his disciples to love like themselves was his soul, which he knew would possess them and become their spiritual Lord.

In verse thirty-seven, after Paul wrote of “stonings,” before he wrote of being “sawn in two,” he wrote in parentheses “epeirasthēsan,” meaning “they were tried,” with “tried” being the “proofing” and “testing” metal is put through, by fire. The root word “peirazó” means “to make proof of, to attempt, test, tempt,” where the implication means “to put to the test.” This word is not translated because Paul placed it within parentheses, which is a signal that says read this word spiritually, not physically. Thus, the “testing” was both applied by angry Jews and Roman to “test” the “faith” of Christians, while those “tests” listed by Paul were the “proof” that their “faith” was not led by a fleshy brain and its thoughts of reason, but by the ‘Ephraim’ that joined with their souls, making each be ‘Doubly Fruitful’ for Yahweh.

In verse thirty-eight, Paul wrote, “of whom not existed worthy this world,” which says those martyrs each died while possessed and protected by the soul of Jesus, the Son of Yahweh. He was the one deemed “not worthy this world,” so Jesus was persecuted to death over and over again, each time in a new body of flesh. Still, the soul of Jesus remains alive and well, found in those void of moisture and “wandering” as seekers. The soul of Jesus climbs the “mountains” and enters “caves,” seeking those whose soul is heading to a “hole in the earth” (a grave), unless they find a Saint in the name of Jesus to lead them to the altar of divine marriage.

When Paul then wrote in verse thirty-nine: “Kai these all , them having been commended on account of of this of faith , not did receive the promise .” This refers back to the beginning of chapter eleven and is the covenant made with Abram that promised his descendants would be as numerous as the countless stars of light. All who are the resurrection of the soul of Jesus are descended from Abram, who was the first of his kind – Saints totally submissive to Yahweh and His Will. When Paul wrote in verse forty that God had something greater planned for all souls descended from Abram, it was eternal life, not a bloodline maintained on the material realm.

Whenever a chapter of Scripture ends and a new chapter begins, the focus is transitional. The same focus is not repeated, just like a lesson in school is one leading to the next. As such, the focus on “faith” is mentioned briefly by Paul in his second verse that Jesus is the source of all true “faith.” True “faith” is knowing the truth; and, with Jesus’ soul resurrected within the soul of a wife of Yahweh, one’s personal experiences of Jesus is the truth of “faith.” Therefore, Paul began a new chapter writing of the true source of strength within a soul in its flesh, which allows it to surmount all obstacles and challenged. One does not boldly run full-bore into the mess that is the world, brainly knowing one has “faith.” One rides on the back of Jesus as he leads one down the path of righteousness; and, every experience of oneself as Jesus reborn is what becomes “faith” known.

Luke 12:49-56 – Jesus explaining divine division to his disciples

Leave a comment

Jesus said, [49] “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! [50] I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! [51] Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! [52] From now on five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three; [53] they will be divided: father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

[54] He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, `It is going to rain’; and so it happens. [55] And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, `There will be scorching heat’; and it happens. [56] You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?”

——————–

It is important to get the context here, in order to understand who Jesus was talking to, before we read in verse 54 “He also said to the crowds.” Jesus was speaking to his disciple, after Peter asked him (in verse 41) to explain the parable he told to the crowd earlier – the Parable of the Rich Fool (the lesson of the prior Sunday, Proper 14 Year C).

In verse forty-nine, the first word written by Luke is a capitalized “Pyr,” which is a divinely elevated “Fire.” By reducing that to the lower case, the translation presented by the NRSV makes it seem that Jesus is going to strike a match and set something on “fire.” That is not the case. The word “pyr” is explained by HELPS Word-studies in this way: “In Scripture, fire is often used figuratively – like with the “fire of God” which transforms all it touches into light and likeness with itself.” Capitalization makes this most certainly be “fire of God,” as it applies to an assignment by Yahweh, given to His Son Jesus. Thus, the metaphor of “earth” is the ”flesh,” where the “fire of God” is the inner enlightenment of Yahweh’s truth, as found written in Scripture. When Jesus exclaimed, “how I wish it were already kindled,” this says Yahweh sent Jesus because of the lying leaders (false shepherds, hired hands, and souls possessed by lesser gods in leadership positions) were doing nothing to set the Jews on “Fire” with the truth of Yahweh.

When “Fire” is read in this light, verse fifty beginning with “baptism” is then furthering how Yahweh sent Jesus to kindle Spiritual “Fire.” It is through leading souls to desire in their hearts to marry Yahweh. Jesus is then the High Priest who would officiate that divine union of a soul to Yahweh’s Spirit. The Spirit is what pours out upon one’s soul, so the “baptism” Jesus brings is the “Christ” – a word meaning Spiritual “Anointment” [not the last name of Jesus] – and to make lost souls become a Christ requires a wife-soul of Yahweh become also united with the soul of His Son – Jesus.

Here, the NRSV has struggled with the Greek word “synechomai,” which is the first-person singular Present Indicative form of “sunechó,” where one usage [Passive] has it mean “I am afflicted with (sickness).” This has them have Jesus say he is “distressed,” as if he has “stress” waiting for all the Jews to wade in the water of the Jordan (or some other stream) and be dunked by Jesus (such tiring word!). However, the truth is (beyond Jesus was not “stressed” doing the work given him by Yahweh) the word also means in usage: “(a) I press together, close, (b) I press on every side, confine, (c) I hold fast, (d) I urge, impel.” (Strong’s Usage) This says the “baptism” brought by Jesus to ignite a “Fire” of desire for Yahweh, so he can officiate that wedding ceremony (the Christ Anointment), is then he can “press together” his soul with the wife-soul of Yahweh, becoming that soul’s Lord. Jesus will spiritually become one’s neighbor and will hold fast to their desires of the flesh, so they do not sin. Jesus will “impel” them to walk righteously and deny urges to sin.

When verse fifty-one is translated so it says, “Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!” the question should be, “Wait a minute! Why is division necessarily a bad thing; and, why would it be opposite of peace?” The answer is the Greek word “eirēnēn” is translated as the ambiguous “peace,” when in truth it means “properly, wholeness, i.e. when all essential parts are joined together; peace (God’s gift of wholeness).” (HELPS Word-studies) When Jesus would enter the closed room and tell the souls of his disciples, “Peace” (a capitalized version), the meaning then was their souls finally had the “Wholeness” of Jesus’ soul in union with each of their souls. Thus, to “Think” (a capitalized “Dokeite”) says each soul in its body of flesh was already a union of self – brainy flesh controlling a wimpy sinner-soul – which was refusing to deny the Big Brain and sacrifice self to serve Yahweh, out of love and total devotion, such that Yahweh sent Jesus to “divide” that union that led to ruin and replace false loves with true love – Jesus is the love of Yahweh.

In verse fifty-two, one must ask, “What is the significance of five; and, why is five divisible only by three plus two?” As to “five” (“pente”), this is said by HELPS Word-studies: “used in Scripture with added symbolic meaning (“redemption by grace”).” They add in brackets: “[This is derived from the collocations (associations) that “five” has when used in reference to the Tabernacle, Temple, etc.]” It should be seen how the Greek word “pente” is the core word of Pentecost, which is ten times five, or fifty (numbered in days). The fifth day of Creation was when Yahweh’s elohim made the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky, before making man (male and female) on day six. The number “five” is then like the stepping stone to a higher state of being. The number reflects the symbolism of innocence, like that of a child. When the spirituality of the number “five” is seen as one’s absolute submission to the parent influence, this becomes a reflection of the ”house” (from “oikō” – one’s body or tabernacle) that is “within one” (“en heni”), but for the child to grow, it must be “divided” beyond the “one.”

This division comes with maturity. The playtime of the “five” (the green fruit that must ripen) must seek the Trinity Spiritually (“three”), in order to find the promise of eternal salvation. That eternal salvation come when a soul (“one”) is “divided” so another soul is added, making “two” souls connect to the Father, as the Trinity (“three”). This seems so natural but the reality is the soul (“one”) will often join with a lesser spirit or demon (“two”), so that unholy union then fights against submission to the Trinity (“three”). Which ever way a soul (“one”) is “divided,” it will have to go “against” its own soul, either in self-sacrifice to Yahweh or self-sacrifice to a worldly spiritual possession.

When you understand the numbers used in verse fifty-two, then you can see the examples of the “three” and “two” are all related to “father against son,” “mother against daughter,” and “mother-in-law against daughter-in-law” (and vice versa). These are all “divisions” that must occur within the “one” spiritually, as a form of maturity. Certainly, the first is easiest, when read as “Father-Son,” as Yahweh and Jesus; but there is nothing “against” those two together. The Greek word “epi,” which does translate as “against,” also translates as “on, upon,” implying in usage “to, on the basis of, and at.” According to HELPS Word-studies, “The precise nuance of 1909 (epí) is only determined by the context, and by the grammatical case following it – i.e. genitive, dative, or accusative case.” In each to the words following “epi” a Dative case word is written, meaning the transitions of the pairs of relatives is “upon to,” as a transition from “one” to another “one.” Everything is then the maturity of a human, from child to adult and from adult to child.

While it is easy to see the masculinity of “they will be divided father upon to son,” with the two next sets of growth focusing on the feminine, all three sets must be seen as feminine, as a soul trapped in a body of flesh – in the worldly-material realm – is ‘negative-receptive-feminine,’ thus always in a state of change (from birth to death). A soul, being a spirit that is eternal, coming from Yahweh and always returning to His (for Judgment as to where next), is masculine; but this masculinity is only when either removed from the flesh or joined with the masculine soul of Jesus (the Son). The “mother upon [this] to daughter kai daughter upon this to mother” is not about a female human being, but about all human beings, which are all souls trapped within bodies of flesh. The call for “division” is to mature into one who sacrifices self in order to produce a new self in the flesh. Therefore, the addition of “in-law” reflects upon the willingness to sacrifice self to another in marriage. The “mother-in-law” is the “daughter” soul married to Yahweh, who in turn gives ‘birth’ (the resurrection of) His Son. The wife-soul has found out the reason divine marriage is necessary, as it is to become the Son of Yahweh reborn into new flesh – every time in every committed wife-soul.

Before proceeding to verse fifty-four, where Jesus turns back to the crowd to speak, it is important to recall that Jesus did not say this out of the blue. He explained the parable of the Rich Fool, who put off being “divided” and matured, “Thinking” he could do more work that would profit more things, before he would say, “Okay. I am ready to marry Yahweh now.” Yahweh told him how stupid that idea was, because his death and Judgment was happening then. When Peter asked to clarify the meaning, Jesus said all this about sacrificing oneself to Yahweh and being a brand new, walking and talking Jesus – NOW! – rather than piddle-paddle around, wasting valuable time. Jesus was there to ignite the “Fire” of desire for Yahweh, so souls would bow down at the altar of marriage and surrender their souls to His, as His wives, mothers-to-be to Jesus’ soul.

When we then read verse fifty-four, it has Jesus again looking at the crowd, which means the crowd most likely heard what Jesus told his disciples; but it is doubtful that anyone understood anything Jesus was saying, to either group. The disciples were all engaged to be married to Yahweh, and Jesus was the High Priest who would officiate their Spiritual Anointment, with his soul duplicated in eleven of the twelve (plus other followers of his, mostly family). The crowd was not yet so committed; so, Jesus spoke to them about how well they could see the future. The crowd was just as ignorant about what would happen next, so they were foolishly wasting their lives in the flesh by taking care of themselves, doing nothing to sacrifice and become Yahweh’s bridesmaids.

This is why Jesus said they could read the signs of nature and be fairly close as to what nature would bring. When he said, “you can see a cloud coming from the Mediterranean Sea and expect it to rain … kai it rains,” this is missing the deeper meaning of a spiritual dark cloud “rising up” over their souls, like the leaders of Jerusalem were. Luke capitalized the word “Ombros,” which elevates it to a level of Yahweh meaning, where “rain” is much less than the “Violent Storm” that comes from standing under that “cloud” that darkens their souls. Still, just as one can predict the rain coming (when it looks like rain, smells like rain, and feels like rain), one can equally predict the Judgment coming from being blind from the signals coming from the “cloud rising up” from the Temple.

When Jesus then said (in verse fifty-five), “kai when a south wind is blowing , you say because , Heat it will exist , kai it comes into being .” Certainly, this too sounds like one being able to forecast the weather and know when to water the grass and wear cool clothes. However, the deeper truth is a “south wind” is the ‘hot air’ blown through the lips of false shepherds and hired hands. When you feel that foul breath stinking up the Temple and synagogues, then you know “Burning Heat” (from a capitalized “Kausōn”) means those sermons are leading a soul to the depths of Hell. Be assured that end can be expected when death releases a soul for Judgment, if nothing has been done to avoid that “hot air” influencing one’s soul in the flesh. The importance of “it comes into being” means a demon soul “is born” within the soul of a lost lamb, due to the thieves who steal sheep from Yahweh’s sheepfold.

In verse fifty-six, Luke began with the word “hypocrites,” which means the crowd was all Jews, who all believed they were privileged and special, as God’s chosen people. They were the definition of “hypocrites,” because they all said they were Yahweh’s children, when everything they did was contrary to how a “son, daughter, father, mother, or in-laws” that were truly “divided” into the maturity of divine marriage did. When Jesus referred to the “the flesh kai the sky,” this is metaphor for the body and the soul, Discernment of the truth … coming from literature the Jews memorized, but did not understand … can only come when the soul of Jesus has been born into each of them. That time was then, as Jesus stood there physically among them; but they were all still too busy to give up their souls to someone unseen and be reborn as someone who was already born (like Nicodemus unable to understand being born again).

Jeremiah, Language, Teaching

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

Leave a comment

[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.

1 In you, Yahweh, have I taken refuge; *

let me never be ashamed.

2 In your righteousness, deliver me and set me free; *

incline your ear to me and save me.

3 Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe; *

you are my crag and my stronghold.

4 Deliver me, elohay, from the hand of the wicked, *

from the clutches of the evildoer and the oppressor.

5 For you are my hope, adonay Yahweh, *

my confidence since I was young.

6 I have been sustained by you ever since I was born; from my mother’s womb you have been my strength; *

my praise shall be always of you.

——————–

It is clear to see how this Psalm 71 selection is the companion to the Track 1 Old Testament reading from Jeremiah 1, as both sing of being a youth whose soul was known by Yahweh to serve Him prior to birth. What is not so easy to see, due to the translation aborting “Yahweh” into “the Lord,” while making “adonay” be “the Lord,” followed by “Yahweh” translating as “God.” The use of “elohay” – a masculine plural construct of the singular “el” – is translated as “my God,” as if all three words are interchangeable and were written by some ignoramus. The uses of “elohay” and “adonay” are references to the possessing soul of Yahweh’s Son, who then becomes the twin soul that “lords” over one’s flesh.

In verse one, David sings of being “in Yahweh. This is a statement of submission of self, which relates to a divine marriage of David’s soul and the Spirit of Yahweh. David is not external to Yahweh, nor is Yahweh external to David. The two are one, with David’s soul “in Yahweh,” as His to control. This presence is then called “refuge.” Just as Yahweh would tell Jeremiah to have no fear, because He was with him, David sang of this presence “never bring him to shame.” In that, “shame” means sin.

In verse two, David sing that being “in Yahweh” brings his life to a state of “righteousness.” It is that “righteous” lifestyle that “delivers” him or saves his soul from the punishments of having unrepented sins. David “escapes” this Judgment because his “ear” is able to hear the voice of Yahweh. This voice leads David to wake from sleep, take down his harp and record the messages of Yahweh spoken to him spiritually.

Verse three speaks metaphorically about the “strength” the “refuge” within Yahweh is. It is a bond that can never be broken. That “strength” is then called “my elohim” (“elohay”), which is the presence of Yahweh’s Son’s soul within David’s soul. That comes from Yahweh as His gift of salvation (the name “Jesus” means “Yah Saves”); and, it is this possessing soul that is the Lord (his “adonay”) that keeps David from falling prey to the “wicked,” who are spirits and demons that seek to make David become a “cruel and unrighteous man.”

In verse five, David sings of Yahweh’s Son being his lifeline (or “cord”) that connects his soul to the Spirit of Yahweh. This connection is then stated by David as the “adonay Yahweh” that governs his every move in life. That presence took hold of David’s soul in his “youth” and it is his true source of faith, which is personally known and trusted.

In verse six, where David sings like Yahweh sang through Jeremiah, about being a soul known before entering his “mother’s womb,” the same references can be seen saying that the soul of David would likewise become a “mother’s womb,” in the resurrection of the soul of Adam-Jesus. This says the “Mother” must be a virgin, as far as sin is concerned. This implies that all “youths” possessed by Yahweh in divine marriage were so divinely wed before conception [Samuel, David, Jeremiah, John the baptizer and Jesus … minimally]. As such, once David’s soul was cleansed of all sins – made a virgin soul – his soul could become a divine mother where the Son of Yahweh could be reborn.

Isaiah 58:9b-14 – Understanding the Sabbath and taking delight in it

Leave a comment

If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil,

[10] if you offer your food to the hungry

and satisfy the needs of the afflicted,

then your light shall rise in the darkness

and your gloom be like the noonday.

[11] Yahweh will guide you continually,

and satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong;

and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water,

whose waters never fail.

[12] Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;

you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;

you shall be called the repairer of the breach,

the restorer of streets to live in.

[13] If you refrain from trampling the sabbath,

from pursuing your own interests on my holy day;

if you call the sabbath a delight

and the holy day of Yahweh honorable;

if you honor it, not going your own ways,

serving your own interests, or pursuing your own affairs;

[14] then you shall take delight in Yahweh,

and I will make you ride upon the heights of the earth;

I will feed you with the heritage of your ancestor Jacob,

for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken. ס

——————–

In verse nine, which is only the second half of the whole verse that is chosen for reading, the key term missed in translation is “from your midst,” which is the construct translation of “mit·tō·wḵ·ḵā” (from “tavek”). The NRSV translation of “among you” avoids this verse being Yahweh answering the call – pleas for help – from those in pain and suffering, telling them, “if you take away from your midst the yoke,” where the “yoke” denotes spiritual servitude to Yahweh, as his wife-soul. If you reject divine union with the Spirit of Yahweh, then you suffer. You “point fingers” at everyone but yourself as the cause of your woes. Without the “yoke” that is the soul of Yahweh’s Son (Adam-Jesus) controlling one’s actions [led to righteousness] as one’s Lord [an “adonay” of Yahweh], then pain and suffering can always be seen as self-inflicted.

Verse ten does not suggest that feeding the hungry with physical food wins any brownie points. Isaiah wrote, “and you extend to the hungry your soul,” where “the hungry” are seeking spiritual nourishment. This is why they would be crying out in pain, from suffering malnutrition of their souls, not they bellies. This is why Isaiah then was led to write about the “darkness” of despair that comes from being faced away from Yahweh and the “light” that comes when one extends the soul of Adam-Jesus from within one’s soul to within the soul of another. This is the truth of ministry in the name (either of Yahweh or Jesus) of a Messiah (or a Christ).

Verse eleven says Yahweh “will guide you” in this ministry. His presence within one’s soul never ends. All “droughts” of spiritual sustenance will be overflowing with His Spirit. Your body (or “bones”) and “soul” will be joined with His Spirit, which gives one strength and be like a well-cared for “garden.” The Spirit makes one like a “spring” of everlasting “waters,” like Jesus spoke of to the Samaritan woman at a well.

When we read in verse twelve: “Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations,” that mistranslation again takes one’s mind and directs it to the physical, as if Yahweh wanted to replant the vineyard he said he would let go to waste (in last Sunday’s readings). This must be read in spiritual terms, as Yahweh speaking to the saved soul He would send into ministry. They would be washed clean of all past sins – “shall built from among you waste places” – so all that one had destroyed of self will be rebuilt as the Son of Yahweh reborn. These Saints will become the “foundations” upon which true salvation of souls comes [Jesus would fulfill this prophecy]. The “repairer of the breach” refers to the wall shown Amos, where the plumb line showed the wall of Mosaic Law was collapsing because of the neglect of the leaders. To read of “the restorer of streets to live in,” this speaks spiritually of the “return to a path” of righteousness that is the true meaning of being an Israelite. This becomes a way of life, not a religion to memorize and quote, while never living up to anything quoted.

In verse thirteen, twice Isaiah wrote of the “Sabbath” (“miš·šab·bāṯ” and “laš·šab·bāṯ”). The literal translation says, “if you turn away from the sabbath your foot , making your pleasure on day my sacredness and proclaim the sabbath a delight , the sacred Yahweh burdensome , and will bear him not doing your own ways , not finding your own delight nor speaking words .” From this, it becomes important to realize that the first six days of Creation lasted hundreds of millions of years; so, when Yahweh declared the Creation finished and told the “elohim” to cease what they had been doing in Yahweh’s name, the “sabbath” began only a few thousands of years ago. That means (relatively speaking) the Sabbath is every day, forever more. To be so restrictive to think Yahweh meant take one day out of every seven and deem that Yahweh’s “sacred day” is the problem. The Jews attempt to honor the twenty-four hours, but Christians love the god golf and limit the honoring of Yahweh to a couple of hours each week (if that). The “sabbath” is every day; so, to not serve Yahweh in seeing every day as His “delight” for one’s own soul and see the “sabbath” as when one must stop doing one’s own “delights” or “pleasures” on a day deemed the “sabbath” (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, depending on the religions that serve man, not Yahweh) is not good in Yahweh’s ‘eyes.’

When one can grasp that Yahweh was not telling future readers of these verses of Isaiah that He would be tickled pink if Jews would spend a whole twenty-four hours every seven days holding off on doing their own “pleasures” and whipping themselves into obedience with the Law, instead expecting all to sacrifice their own self-pleasures and self-delights to take sheer delight in Yahweh’s lifestyle (that of a Saint), the verse fourteen makes much more sense. Here, Yahweh says when one’s soul “takes delight in Yahweh,” then one’s soul has divinely wed Yahweh. When He then says, “I will cause you to ride on the earth,” where the metaphor is the white horse Jesus will come within one’s soul, as one’s Lord over the flesh (metaphor of “earth”), this says Yahweh will send His Son’s soul to make you take great “delight” in that presence, because Jesus is the love of Yahweh. It is Jesus who will “feed” one’s soul with spiritual food. The Word of Yahweh will then be placed in one’s “mouth,” as the soul of Adam-Jesus will speak the truth for others to hear. The “heritage of Jacob” – a name meaning “Supplanter” – means Jesus will supplant one’s own soul-flesh, becoming the Lord that will lead one to be named “Israel” and be a minister for Yahweh as His prophet.

——————–

The translation (as usually is the case) is bad here, especially in the first two verses. The implication given by having David say, “Bless Yahweh, O my soul,” twice, is not what David wrote. The literal translation says, “bless my soul to Yahweh,” with the Hebrew word “barak” better translate as “kneels” (rather than “bless”). This makes it clear that David’s “soul kneels to Yahweh,” as his Lord and Master – his Husband in a divine marriage of “soul” to Spirit.

In this regard, it is corrupt for any human being to think he, she, or it can “bless Yahweh” in any way. A soul trapped in a human body of flesh is then the equivalents of a woman (regardless of what sex organs those bodies of flesh have); and, in the olden days past, a woman (and her children) were best seen, not heard. Humans are thus to act the same in respect to Yahweh, as an unmarried woman (a soul trapped in a body of flesh) is bound for nothing. Only when she marries can she be taken care of. Yahweh does not marry flesh, as flesh is always bound to die. Yahweh only marries souls that totally submit to Him; so, the only “blessing” possible is that of Yahweh possessing a soul in divine marriage. David was so divinely married; and, his psalm begins by stating his total submission to Yahweh, as His wife-soul.

When verse one sings, “all within me the name his sacredness,” this places focus on David’s soul being saved by his submission to Yahweh. Yahweh’s Spirit cleansed the soul of David, so it could be the virgin womb in which the soul of Yahweh’s Son (Adam-Jesus) would be resurrected, becoming Lord over David’s flesh. That Lord “within” is the “name” David took on in divine marriage – “Israel.” That name means he “Who Retains the el of Yahweh – the Yahweh elohim that is Adam (a.k.a Jesus). With that soul then the Lord over David’s soul and his flesh, David walked a path of righteousness, as a Saint. That “sacredness” is not to be applied to Yahweh (in the same way Yahweh cannot be “blessed”), but to David, who has taken on the name of Yahweh’s Son, as His Son reborn into flesh.

Verse two adds to the “kneeling one’s soul before Yahweh,” “and not you will forget , all its recompense .” This says that the inner Lord becomes the Christ Mind (call it the Messiah Mind, for David’s Hebrew speaking singers), which is the All-Knowing Mind of Yahweh overcoming the gross limitations of a fleshy brain trying to be able to consciously recall memorizations. The written Word is divinely inspired (just as are all David’s psalms), so it takes divine inspiration to understand that memorized. To “forget” the meaning of Scripture is to read it, memorize it, and then put it out of one’s brainly thoughts, because it is too much to understand alone. This “forgetting” always leads to the failures of human knowledge that cause one to break the Laws and sin. The meaning of “all its recompense” means “forgetting” Yahweh’s Word makes one become a sinner, while being one with Yahweh and having the Word written within one’s soul (a.k.a. Jesus reborn within) makes one “make amends” (the definition of “recompense”) for all past sins [divine Baptism by Yahweh’s Spirit in divine marriage].

To reassure one this is the meaning, verse three then sings, “him forgiving all your inequities , him healing , to all your pains .” The Hebrew word “tachalu” can mean “pain,” but its primary translation into English as “disease.” This means a soul alone in its body of flesh leaves itself open for the ‘infections’ of Satan’s minions, the demon spirits or fallen “elohim” that enter a body and turn that body against its soul. The urges to sin (thus “forget” Scripture and the Law) is then like a ”disease” that kills the body of flesh (like a plague).

The body of flesh is bound to die in some way, at some time. The meaning of “mortal” is “born to die.” Thus, the ”healing” is the casting out of impure and unclean spirits, which can signify the curing of a bodily ailment. However, the true “pain” prevented by such “healings” of Yahweh’s Spirit within one’s soul is the “pain” of Judgment, for having turned away from His offer of divine marriage and becoming His Son reborn into the flesh. This verse then sings of eternal salvation earned by those souls that serve Yahweh totally.

This element of salvation is then sung in verse four. There, the literal translation into English sings: “him redeeming from the pit your living ; him surrounding you with kindness and compassion .” In this, the Hebrew word “chay” means “alive, living,” which means “your living” is salvation, so a soul gains eternal “life.” Without that divine salvation from Judgment that sends sinners to “the pit,” this destination must not be seen as a physical conception of ‘Hell’ or ‘Sheol.’ The “pit” is the realm of the dead; and, because a soul is eternal, being sent to the realm of the dead means reincarnation, born anew into a fleshy body that is bound to die again. To never be “redeemed” from one’s sins of the flesh, a soul is never truly “alive,” as it is always trapped in a body of death.

Following the semi-colon, Yahweh led David to sing of the “surrounding” of one’s soul with Yahweh’s Spirit and His Son’s soul as one’s Lord. The presence of Yahweh’s Son is then the epitome of ‘God’s Love,” as the soul of Adam-Jesus is the true source of all “kindness and compassion” a soul “living” can know. No physical things can define this “love.” It is the ‘wedding gift’ Yahweh gives to His brides, as this marriage made in heaven it bound securely by the love of God – Adam-Jesus. One must be reborn in that name to know this most true love.

Verse five then sings of the benefits that come from the promise of a soul being saved for everlasting life. David was moved to sing, “him satisfying with good ornaments ; it will renew like an eagle your youth .” This says the ‘fountain of youth’ is not some eternal spring in Florida (sorry Ponce de Leon) but the Spirit poured out upon one’s soul forevermore.

It makes one feel the excitement, joy and exuberance of “youth,” as one becomes a minister in the name of Yahweh. The Hebrew word “adi” (constructed as “‘eḏ·yêḵ”) means “ornaments,” but can sometimes be read as “your mouth.” The “satisfactions” that come from one’s ‘mouth’ are then the “ornaments, jewels, decorations” of the “good” and “agreeable” understandings of Scripture, which are delightfully explained so others can have their eyes opened. One sparkles with the truth, which makes one’s mouth like a fine gem. One soars high, “like an eagle,” which is metaphor for ascending to the higher realm of the Spiritual, soaring above the base and ordinary. It speaks the truth as a child reborn of Yahweh, as His Son resurrected into “young” flesh. The soul of the Son of Yahweh is then the fountain that springs forth with everlasting waters of life.

The youthful exercise of ministry in the name of Yahweh is then sung about in verse six. David was inspired to write: “making righteousness Yahweh ; and judgment , to all who are oppressed .” This sings that “righteousness” is impossible without a soul having bowed down in submission to Yahweh in divine union, at the altar of marriage. Only when Yahweh’s Spirit has purified one’s soul of past sins, so one’s soul becomes a virgin womb into which His Son’s soul can resurrect, can one be led Spiritually to live a righteous life. That life remaining in the flesh then serves Yahweh as His Son reborn, led to be walking to meet seekers in need of “judgment.” This tells sinners, “You are walking a path to destruction and must change now.” When those souls sense the divine presence near [“the kingdom of God has come near”], then they will ask questions and be told the truth; so, with the truth in hand, their souls can decide to continue rejecting holy matrimony with the divine or turn back to Yahweh and bow down and serve Him. Those “who are oppressed” can find salvation as their escape from the imprisonment of a body of flesh that urges their souls to sin.

Verse seven then sings, “he will know his manner of Moses ; to the sons Israel , his deeds .” In this, two historic names from David’s history arise, with “Moses” meaning (among other possibilities) “hidden, covered.” The name “Israel” has already been stated: “Who Retains elohim of Yahweh.” Thus, Yahweh led David to sing about a soul filled with Yahweh’s Spirit having “knowledge of the ways hidden,” which is the beauty of divine Scripture. Certainly, Moses was enlightened when he met Yahweh at the burning bush, which allowed Moses to possess a staff that had “hidden” powers of Yahweh in it (as a tool given Moses by the One God). Everyone who followed Moses (in the same way everyone who truly follows Jesus becomes Christian souls) those souls became “sons” of Yahweh (regardless of physical sex organs), as His Son resurrected within each of them (male and female they are made Sons). The children descended of Jacob became descendants of Abram, by becoming points of light in the darkness, as those “Who Retained Yahweh elohim” as their Lord. When the soul of Adam-Jesus led the children chosen by Yahweh into the wilderness, with Moses, it was to grow into ministers who would do the “deeds” of their possessing soul-Spirit.

In verse eight, Yahweh inspired David to again sing of the love of God that is His Son – the Yahweh elohim that is Adam (a.k.a. Jesus). David wrote: “compassionate and gracious Yahweh ; long of face and much kindness .” Here, the Hebrew word “arek” (transliterated as “’e·reḵ”) means “long,” implying “patience,” thus “slow.” When that word is connected to the Hebrew “’ap·pa·yim,” a construct of “panim,” meaning “faces,” the better translation says “long of faces” paints a picture of the duration of those who are truly able to be called “Israel,” as possessed by a “Hidden” Spirit and divine soul. Every one of those who follow in doing the “deeds” of Moses (and Jesus, with all the prophets and Saints) will be one in the great line of descendants of Abram. All will be possessed by the “compassionate and gracious” Son of Yahweh – the ‘love of God’ that is Adam-Jesus – wearing the “face” of Yahweh as His Son reborn in the flesh and spreading “much kindness” to seekers of truth. This is the gift of salvation that endures and brings “patience” to those who submit fully to Yahweh in divine marriage.

Hebrews 12:18-29 – The choice to be shaken to Yahweh or not to be shaken to Him

Leave a comment

[18] You have not come to something that can be touched, a blazing fire, and darkness, and gloom, and a tempest, [19] and the sound of a trumpet, and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that not another word be spoken to them. [20] (For they could not endure the order that was given, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned to death.” [21] Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.”) [22] But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, [23] and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, [24] and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

[25] See that you do not refuse the one who is speaking; for if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject the one who warns from heaven! [26] At that time his voice shook the earth; but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven.” [27] This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of what is shaken– that is, created things– so that what cannot be shaken may remain. [28] Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks, by which we offer to God an acceptable worship with reverence and awe; [29] for indeed our God is a consuming fire.

——————–

This is very deep and cannot be fathomed by ears hearing these verse read aloud (especially a poor translation). Understanding the truth is more than a Big Brain can comprehend. There can be no ‘speed readings’ for understanding. The depth of Paul’s words in his epistles is more than an Episcopal twelve-minute sermon could ever begin to explain. Therefore, I am breaking this reading down by the verses, listing the Greek translation of Paul’s original (and lost) Hebrew (the Greek divinely led to accurately project the Hebrew), a viable English translation that explains capitalized words and proper name usage and a synopsis of what each verse says. This is what a bridesmaid to Yahweh will do during one’s ‘engagement period.’ Anything less means the light of truth will never shine through one’s ‘oil lamp face.’ So, when Yahweh comes at an unplanned hour, those who yawned through a hired hand’s oration and always left Paul’s letters to the scholars, do not be surprised when one finds his or her soul left behind. Those souls are the point of this lesson, where those who are not shaken with fear of God will make such mistakes that lead their souls to ruin.

Verse 18: “Ou gar proselēlythate psēlaphōmenō kai kekaumenō pyri , kai gnophō , kai zophō , kai thyellē ,”

Translation: “Not indeed you have come to being touched kai to having been ignited to fire , kai to a thick cloud , kai to gloom , kai to whirlwind ,”

This says those souls saved by divine marriage to Yahweh’s Spirit and the resurrection within each of their souls by the soul of Jesus has been because those souls feared “being set on fire,” by being kept in “darkness” with a “thick cloud” of doubt over their eyes, nor by “gloom” or the dizziness of a “storm” or “whirlwind.” The capitalized “Ou” brings a divine level of meaning to the negative, as what “Not” made souls “feel” the presence of Yahweh within their souls. The willingly “came to” the altar of marriage out of love. Being “touched” is the difference between beliefs and true faith.

Verse 19: “kai salpingos ēchō , kai phōnē rhēmatōn , hēs hoi akousantes parētēsanto , mē prostethēnai autois logon ,”

Translation: “kai of trumpet to sound , kai to a language of commands , which those having comprehended they rejected , not to be placed to their souls divine utterance ,”

This says importantly that a loud and clear voice came to alert those saved souls. Also important to grasp is the “trumpet sound” comes from Scripture, as a Spiritual voice giving “commands” to follow, all coming from the unspoken Word. This was the power of Gideon and the walls of Jericho, where the “sound” is not physical, but divinely Spiritual. No defense can withstand the vibratory power of the truth. Still, those soul unsaved will “reject” the Word and refuse to follow the “commands. Those unsaved soul will “not be placed” in a state of divine marriage, where their souls can hear the Word of Yahweh spoken to them.

Verse 20: “ouk epheron gar to diastellomenon : Kan thērion thigē tou orous , lithobolēthēsetai .”

Translation: “not they could make publicly known indeed this being distinguished : Even if a wild beast might harm them of this mountain , it will be killed by stoning .”

This speaks of those “not” capable of their “souls” understanding “divine utterances.” This says they “not” will be capable of “public orations” that are “distinguished,” such as those made by high priests on special feast days. The capitalized Greek word “Kan” is then divinely elevated to be a statement of possibility, where an “if” scenario is relative to being “Even” with Yahweh in understanding Scripture. They would still be nothing more than “wild beasts,” who would make natural sounds (bellows and howls), which “might” do them “harm,” “if” they are attempting to promote their souls as in possession “of this mountain” that is knowledge of Scripture, equal to Yahweh’s. Those who speak the truth without knowing the intent and meaning of the truth would make them guilty of high crimes, therefore liable to “be killed by stoning,” for having broken a serious Law.

Verse 21: “kai houtō phoberon ēn to phantazomenon Mōusēs eipen , Ekphobos eimi , kai entromos .”

Translation: “kai in this way fearful he existed this making visible Moses said , Greatly terrified I exist , kai trembling with fear .”

In Exodus 20:18-21 is told what happened after Moses came down from the mountain and read the Ten Commandments to the people. Everyone witnessed thundering, lightning flashes, trumpets sounding and smoke coming off the mountain. The people were afraid that Yahweh was going to kill them all. Moses explained that it was a test of the people to fear “the elohim” (“hā·’ĕ·lō·hîm”), which is their inner Lord who speaks for Yahweh to their souls. Verse twenty-one says, Moses entered the thick darkness which there his elohim (“hā·’ĕ·lō·hîm”). Thus, the meaning here repeats that story from Exodus, where Yahweh made his presence be presented in a “way fearful” to those who were His betrothed bridesmaids (in both male and female bodies of flesh). Those who would speak “Even if a wild beast,” as one without fear of Yahweh or his inner elohim, would not know the fear of Yahweh that saves their souls. The importance of “trembling with fear” has nothing to do with Moses, but to all who would never speak the meaning of Scripture without being completely led by Yahweh’s Son to speak the truth, totally afraid to speak for Yahweh otherwise.

Verse 22: “Alla proselēlythate Siōn orei , kai polei Theou zōntos , Ierousalēm epouraniō , kai myraisin angelōn ,”

Translation: “Otherwise you have come to Zion to hill , kai to city of God of living , Jerusalem to spiritual , kai to tens of thousands of angels ,”

The capitalized Greek word “Alla” must be read as divinely elevated in meaning, so it reaches a level of Yahweh. Since the word means “otherwise, on the other hand, but,” implying in usage “except” and “however,” this is stating a divine “exception” to those who “tremble with fear,” while thinking some are godlike and others should fear them. The largest portion of such “have come to Zion,” which is a name that means “Dry Place.” They have found a “mountain” or “hill” that is where they become devoid of emotion for Yahweh. This place is importantly a “city,” which is a large gathering of people [in Roman domination times, not all Jews], with the “city” seen as a reflection “of God,” as if “God possessed the city” as His own place on earth to “live.” This then implies that the Jews in that “city of God” are promised eternal “life,” because they maintain a house for “God.” The name “Jerusalem” means “Teaching Peace,” but this is misunderstood as teaching calm and serenity to those who are pained by a lack of “spiritual” insight being taught. The true meaning of “Peace” is “Wholeness,” where the leaders of the Temple should be “Teaching Wholeness” towards “spiritual” security of souls. As to the “myriads of messengers,” this says many have risen to power in Jerusalem, bringing a message that allows a select group comforts in the material realm, but none of them have been led by an inner “angel” possessing their souls. Those prophets who are the truth of “tens of thousands of angels” in David’s “city” were killed by the apathy the people preferred as their message.

Verse 23: “panēgyrei , kai ekklēsia prōtotokōn apogegrammenōn en ouranois , kai Kritē Theō pantōn , kai pneumasi dikaiōn teteleiōmenōn ,”

Translation: “to the festal assembly , kai to the (religious) congregation of those first-born of those enrolling within spiritually , kai to Judge to God of all , kai to spirits of innocents having been brought to completion ,”

This takes the “spirituality of Jerusalem,” where “tens of thousands messengers” come to spread their words and presents those in two groups. The first are the leaders of the Temple, who pander to the needs of pilgrims three times (and more) each year, during “festival assemblies.” More importantly, the true “angels” coming to Jerusalem are those in “congregation” or “assembly” who are those souls having received the soul of the “first-born” of Yahweh – Adam (a.k.a. Jesus). Those are who “enroll” or are listed by Yahweh as having His Son’s soul “within” each of theirs, where the “heavenly” is no longer external, but inward born. This is importantly identifying the Son as “the Judge” over an individual’s soul-body, as its Lord, who the “Judges” as the extension of Yahweh “within.” This “Judge” is then identified as the possession (Genitive case) “of God.” That makes the “Judge” the Good Shepherd “to all” of Yahweh’s flock. This is a marriage or union of “spirits” – souls-angels-heavenly messengers – where the “innocents” are those whose sins have been forgiven and their souls have become like unblemished lambs. Their souls were incomplete prior to divine marriage and resurrection of the Son’s soul “within,” but with the presence of that Son’s soul their souls have found “wholeness.”

Verse 24: “kai diathēkēs neas mesitē , Iēsou , kai hiamati rhantismou kreitton lalounti para ton Habel .”

Translation: “kai of a covenant of new to mediator , Jesus , kai to blood of purification more excellent to say alongside of this Abel .”

As a continuation of “spirits of innocents having been brought to completion,” Paul importantly stated here that this “wholeness” is due to a divine possession in one’s “spirit” or “soul,” where the Law is written on one’s inner soul (walls of the heart). This “covenant” is that of Yahweh, but it is “mediated” by a “new” or “fresh” spirit-soul. This is then name “Jesus,” which means “Yah Saves.” To see a soul as the ‘life blood’ of a body of flesh, to be joined by a “new” soul that is the Son of Yahweh resurrected within one’s soul, that “new” souls becomes the “blood of purification more excellent” than a soul alone in its flesh, trying to please Yahweh. This “purification” is the “blood” of the Lamb being spilled upon one’s soul, in the same way Yahweh pours out His Spirit in the Baptism of each of His wife-souls. The soul of “Jesus” is then the “blood” that covers the doorframe that is one’s soul-body, marking it to be spared death. The name “Abel” is known to be the son of Adam; but that name means “breath,” which means unseen and “vainly” stated. This is how one’s own soul becomes, “alongside of this Abel,” when the soul of “Jesus” becomes one’s Lord. One’s soul is simply the “breath” of life, killed by the world, but revived by Yahweh sending His Son to save a soul.

Verse 25: “Blepete mē paraitēsēsthe ton lalounta . ei gar ekeinoi ouk exephygon , epi gēs paraitēsamenoi ton chrēmatizonta , poly mallon hēmeis hoi ton ap’ ouranōn apostrephomenoi ,”

Translation: “Perceive not you all could have rejected this speaking . if indeed those others not they fled , upon earth them having rejected this receiving of a name , many more our souls these this away from of spiritual heavens turning away from ,”

Here, Paul’s Hebrew is represented as beginning with a capitalized Greek “Blepete,” which is a divinely elevated projection of a word that means “to look (at),” implying in usage “see, perceive, discern.” On a level of Yahweh, this is greater than physical vision, as a statement of spiritual knowledge “Perceived.” Relative to Paul have presented two classification of people (Jews), this divine insight is “not” without seekers of the truth, who are souls yearning to return to Yahweh and be “whole” again. Thus, there are those souls who do “not reject” Yahweh in divine union and receive this divine soul of Jesus who comes “speaking” the truth. This then presents a conditional scenario, where Paul said “if indeed those others not they fled.” These become the seekers of truth, who need ministers in the name of Jesus to find them an speak the truth to their souls. When we read “upon the earth,” the use of “earth” can be seen as metaphor for “flesh,” as it is made of matter from the world. Those who “reject” marriage to Yahweh’s Spirit become those to whom the ministers must speak loudest, letting them know their words are false. They do not have the “name” of Yahweh, nor His Son to justify their speech. Without these ministers in the name of Jesus seeking those desiring the truth, the false shepherds will turn many more away from Yahweh, leading them to forever become lost.

Verse 26: “hou hē phōnē tēn gēn esaleusen tote ; nyn de epēngeltai , legōn , Eti hapax egō seisō ou monon tēn gēn , alla kai ton ouranon .”

Translation: “of who this voice this earth he disturbed the mind at that time ; the present now he has promised , saying , Even now once for all I will shake not merely the earth , on the other hand kai this spiritual heavens .”

As a continuation on the theme of “many more souls … away from of spiritual heavens turning away from,” Paul’s Hebrew is repeated through the Greek word “ouranon,” which needs to be grasped as Paul referring to souls and Yahweh’s Spirit. Those two are “heavens” that are “spiritual,” not physical. In this same way, “reference to “the earth” should be seen as metaphor for “the flesh.” When that is understood, this verse places focus on the failures of everyone led out of Egypt by Moses not teaching (speaking the truth of Law) to their children, so there was a routinely regular breakage of commitment to Yahweh (on come the Judges to save the day). Those who committed to Yahweh who heard His booming thunder, lightning and smoke on the mountain trembled with fear and bowed down before Yahweh. That was only their “flesh” (“the earth”) hearing the voice of Yahweh. The “promise now” (in Paul’s time and forevermore) of the ‘Promised Land’ is it is not property on “the earth” but a commitment by the “flesh,” which also demands a commitment (sacrifice of self unto Yahweh) of the soul (“the spiritual heavens”). The importance that must be read into that is the soul is primarily the commitment Yahweh seeks. Therefore, He sends His Son’s soul to become the Lord over both “the earth and the spiritual heavens” (the body and soul).

Verse 27: “to de , Eti hapax , dēloi tēn tōn saleuomenōn metathesin , hōs pepoiēmenōn , hina meinē to mē saleuomena .”

Translation: “this now , Still once for all , it makes clear this of this of those being shaken transformation , like as of making , in order that it could have awaited those not being shaken .”

Paul here references his letter written in Hebrew (from a prison in Rome), such that “this” letter “now” says both the physical and the spiritual have been shaken in his body and soul, as well as all true Christians who have married their souls to Yahweh and been reborn spiritually as His Son. When Paul’s Hebrew is again represented by the capitalized Greek word “Eti,” which means “Even now,” while also “Yet, Still” and also “Further, In addition,” the implied capitalization here again raises this word’s meaning to a divine level of intent, where “Still” says Yahweh is consistent in all his divine marriages throughout the ages. So, there is nothing new, other than the awareness that the Son of Yahweh is the soul of the man known as Jesus. This “Addition” is “once for all,” as there is no divorcing Yahweh once divinely wed and His Son becomes one’s Lord. All souls that have been “shaken” by their finding the truth and desiring an eternal commitment between their souls and Yahweh’s Spirit will personally experience faith in Yahweh and faith in Jesus, from that entrance into their souls totally “transforming” them from what they were into what they have become. It is “like as making” a new soul-body, one which had a given name, but knows it is le by Jesus into righteousness. This is the ministry of a Saint, which comes “in order that it could have awaited those (souls) not being shaken” “Yet.”

Verse 28: “Dio basileian asaleuton paralambanontes , echōmen charin , di’ hēs latreuōmen euarestōs tō Theō , meta eulabeias kai deous .”

Translation: “Therefore sovereignty unmoved receiving , we may possess kindness , because of of who we may serve in a well-pleasing way this to God , in company with fear of God kai fear-driven .”

Here, Paul’s Hebrew is represented in Greek by the capitalized “Dio,” which reflects a divinely elevated statement of two directions being expressed: the first is those shaken to marry Yahweh and those not. “Therefore” is then stating the after direction, when looking forward places focus on those souls saved. Those souls have “received” the Spirit, which is the “sovereignty” of Yahweh, with that presence “unmoved” once “received.” This onset of Spirit is a soul’s divine Baptism, which purifies it from all past sins, so “we may possess kindness.” In that, the “possession” is one’s soul being taken in divine union by Yahweh, as His wife-soul. This possession (the Genitive case Greek representation of the Hebrew stating “of who”) is a “cause and effect” of proving one’s desires to receive His Spirit, so “we may serve Him in a well-pleasing way.” This is a reflection of the times Yahweh spoke (not to Jesus, but those surrounding him), “This is my Son in whom I am well pleased.” Yahweh says that to all souls who are where His Son’s soul is resurrected, after having received His Spirit. All souls who have so become Sons of man as Adam-Jesus reborn go forth with two souls joined in one body, “in company with” each together, where the soul of Jesus is one’s Lord. These Saints walk with a “fear of God,” which they preach to others who are seekers. Their message importantly says all souls must be “fear-driven” to seek Yahweh, sincerely expressing repentance, fearing only Yahweh, not their bodies of flesh which are leading them away from salvation.

Verse 29: “kai gar ho Theos hēmōn pyr katanaliskon .”

Translation: “kai indeed this God of our souls eternal fire consuming .”

This importantly sums up the element of salvation, where wholeness is confirmed. All souls born into flesh come from God, because Yahweh is “this God of our souls.” To marry one’s soul in a loving bond of most Holy Matrimony and give rebirth to His Son’s soul in the flesh, says a “soul of God” is once again a “soul possessed by God,” having come full circle. This marriage is not benign, as an arranged marriage (born of a bloodline said to be God’s children), as it can only come from an “eternal fire” being kindled within one’s soul, so love burns for Yahweh. Proving that desire allows one’s soul to be set on “fire” with Yahweh’s love, which is His Son’s soul. The inner presence of Yahweh’s Spirit and the maintenance of that purity by the soul of Jesus resurrected will keep the soul “consuming” spiritual food and forever “burning” with a desire to serve Yahweh as His subject, servant and wife-soul.

Luke 13:10-17 – Understanding the Sabbath and the work that entails

Leave a comment

[10] Now Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. [11] And just then there appeared a woman with a spirit that had crippled her for eighteen years. She was bent over and was quite unable to stand up straight. [12] When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your ailment.” [13] When he laid his hands on her, immediately she stood up straight and began praising God. [14] But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had cured on the sabbath, kept saying to the crowd, “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be cured, and not on the sabbath day.” [15] But the Lord answered him and said, “You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger, and lead it away to give it water? [16] And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be set free from this bondage on the sabbath day?” [17] When he said this, all his opponents were put to shame; and the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things that he was doing.

——————–

There are two important points that must be grasped from this reading. First, when we read “Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath,” this does not mean that Jesus was the invited guest speaker in “one of the synagogues.” While Luke is the divine remembrances of Mother Mary and less restricted to a chronological order than the other three Gospels [she recalled experiences of Jesus that divinely came back to her memory, when loosely following the chronology of Jesus’ ministry], by this time in the life of Jesus he had been delegated to attendee, not asked to read any Scripture, nor explain anything. Jesus had created his own ‘synagogue’ [the ‘church’ of Jesus on the hillside by the sea, held on Sundays, after a Sabbath], where large gatherings came to hear Jesus explain the truth of the Word, which was not to be heard in any synagogue. So, “Jesus teaching in” actually says Jesus’ presence in any synagogue was to “teach” souls seeking salvation; and, the “woman with a spirit that had crippled her for eighteen years” was one such soul found, which Mother Mary recalled.

The second point of focus that must be grasped has to deal with the truth of the Sabbath. While this remembrance of Jesus’ mother recalled a time when she personally witnessed Jesus being attacked for healing on a Saturday – the seventh day of a week – and it is only told in Luke’s Gospel, there are other accounts of Jesus healing on a Sabbath, where the Pharisees and leaders of the Temple took great offense to this ‘work,’ which none of them could do on any of the other six days of a week. This means Jesus defines that Sabbath, which is not a definition accepted today, in the same way it was rejected when Jesus kicked up the dust of the earth as a living man in Judea and Galilee (et al).

In verse ten, the Greek of Luke states: “Ēn de didaskōn en mia tōn synagōgōn en tois sabbasin,” which literally translates to say, “He existed now teaching within one of this of assemblies within to these sabbaths.” When one takes a deep breath and lets one’s eyes relax to see the multiplicity of what this says (it can be read like the NRSV translates above, but …), it can equally say that Yahweh was now teaching within,” where the capitalization of “Ēn” (third-person singular Imperfect Indicative Active form of “eimi,” meaning “I am, exist”) raises this to a Yahweh level of meaning. Because Jesus said, “I speak for the Father because the Father is in me,” This says “Yahweh now was teaching.” The Greek word “en” means “within,” which becomes a statement that should be read as spiritual or soul-related, such that Yahweh does not stand on a podium and orate from a scroll. When this is seen, the “one” is less about the individuality of a building determined to be a “synagogue,” so it becomes “one” who is of the “gathered assembly” of souls in human flesh. Since Yahweh was teaching to souls within, one with a soul that gathered on a sabbath becomes the private “teaching” Jesus became the minister of his Father’s “teaching.”

When the verse ends by repeating “en,” and attaching that spirituality to “these sabbaths” (plural number), this becomes a statement that the “teaching” of “one of the assembled peoples” (plural number) was relative to the souls of all gathered being because “these” took the time to meet in one specific place one day a week. The day they always gathered was the “sabbaths.” This is important to grasp when the second focus of this lesson has leaders complaining about doing healing work on one of “these sabbaths.” It says the souls of Jews were greatly depleted of spiritual nourishment, because they only came to be fed (like the beasts they possessed on their farms) one day a week. The beasts need daily food to stay healthy; but the Jews ate, drank and were merry six days, while forcing themselves to fasting or ‘leftover cold cuts’ on Saturday. Beasts do not have brains that can conceive one day from any other. They only know, “Feed me daily;” and, that is important to see to understand this lesson.

In verse eleven, where we are told of a “woman” in the “gathered assembly” (the meaning of “sunagógé”), the Greek word written is in the lower case, as “gynē.” This is important to grasp when Jesus called out to her, where Luke capitalized the Greek word in verse twelve, as “Gynai.” This lower case word translates equally as “a woman,” with implication in usage being “wife, my lady.” The capitalization then is an indication of divine elevation in meaning, placing this word on the level of Yahweh. This means Jesus used one word, which (in Aramaic as well) has the same multiplicity of meaning, where Jewish ears heard (as Christian eyes read) “Woman,” when the reality is it says, “Wife.” At that instant, she was not simply a devotee to Yahweh, her time serving him as a “cripple,” where that demon “spirit” made he life miserable, but she never gave up her love and desire for Yahweh, that Jesus married her soul to Yahweh’s Spirit, calling her a divine “Wife.”

Here, it is vital to read the Greek of Luke that says in verse twelve, “idōn autēn , ho Iēsous prosephōnēsen kai eipen autē,” which literally can translate as saying: “having attended to now her soul , this Jesus he summoned kai he commanded to her soul”. Keeping in mind that the name “Jesus” means “YAH Saves” and Jesus spoke only what his Father told him to speak, it was the Son of Yahweh knowing the soul of this “woman” and all that she had withstood, without once blaming Yahweh for her misery. Thus, Yahweh summoned His Son “Jesus” to pronounce the marriage of that soul, which importantly exclaimed, “[you are My] Wife.” This then made the demon spirit that tormented her body of flesh for eighteen years immediately go away, leading the soul of the “Wife” to immediately begin “honoring” Yahweh with praise.

Now, the aspect of the leader of the “gathered assembly” saw Jesus “lay hands to her,” which was seen as some chiropractic spine snap manipulation by “hands,” which (then as it still is today) is an act of work that demands payment for services rendered. In reality, verse thirteen states this in Greek: “kai epethēken autē tas cheiras ,” which can literally say, “importantly he gave in addition to her soul these hands”. The symbolism of “hands” is less about Jesus touching the woman physically, and more about Jesus presenting the marriage gift of “the instruments a person uses to accomplish their purpose (intention, plan).” (HELPS Word-studies figurative intent of “xeír,” the root for “cheiras”) The “addition” given was his soul – the Son of Yahweh [Adam-Jesus], which is a flexibility Yahweh has, as He created His Son as a Yahweh elohim to save many souls at once. With the soul of Jesus added to the soul of the “Wife”-soul of Yahweh, after Yahweh had made her soul a Christ through His divine Anointment of His Spirit, “those hands were placed upon her soul,” to forever reward her devotion and self-sacrifice as worthy of eternal life.

To then sum up the rest of this lesson, where the leader of the gathered assembly begins to accuse Jesus of doing work on the Sabbath, the point made by Jesus is made in verse fifteen, where Luke wrote in Greek, “Apekrithē de autō ho Kyrios kai epien , Hypokritai !” This translates literally in English to say, “He answered now to his soul this Lord kai he said , Hypocrites !” Here, the capitalized third-person singular Aorist Indicative form of “apokrinomai” is Yahweh speaking through the Son’s mouth. Yahweh spoke to the “leader of the gathered assembly,” who had spoken to Jesus as a representative of all the leaders of the Temple in Jerusalem, who decreed working on the Sabbath was heretical. For Yahweh’s voice to come out clearly to that one leader, calling him the front man for all like him – “Hypocrites” – that says the work done on the Sabbath by a priest of Yahweh should and must be HEALING the poor of spirit. To call Jesus out as bad, for doing what he should have routinely done (but never once did … any day of the week) says he had just bad-mouthed Yahweh … his Spiritual boss … who sent a messenger-spirit-angel into that specific “gathering of an assembly” not only to do the true work of Yahweh but also to slap the false pretense out of the face of a hired hand – false shepherd.

It is vital to see that the same ignorance goes on today in all forms of “gathered assemblies” that are souls seeking redemption for their demon-caused sins and salvation taught to them by their leaders. For “Six” days [a capitalized “Hex,” which is a divine elevation of the day man was created (males and females) and given dominion over all the other beasts of the sixth day. The capitalization of “Six” says mankind is nothing more than an animal with a Bigger Brain; and, that Big Brain allows it to be the manager of domesticated beasts. Therefore, when the normal Jews are seeking the same care that a domesticated livestock demands – seven days a week – the leaders of the gathered assemblies do no work Sunday through Friday; and, when the Sabbath rolls around, they do more nothing, because they think (a Big Brain failure) they cannot work on the Sabbath.

When this reading is understood by seeing the seventh day of Creation was when Yahweh demanded a day of rest be recognized, it is total ignorance to the fact that the first six days of creation had nothing to do with twenty-four hour periods of time in a seven-day week. The first six days to hundreds of billions of years to complete (as Carl Sagan would say: Beeeel-yuns). The seventh day (thus the Sabbath) has been every day since that pronouncement by Yahweh. Every day is the Sabbath. All souls are expected to serve Yahweh as His “Wife”-souls twenty-four-seven. It is a lifestyle, not a two hours one day a week where one feels forced to comply with ritual.

When Jesus said of the “woman,” should be seen as “a daughter of Abram,” that means her soul is one of those points of light in the darkness that is the lineage of Saints – those souls who serve Yahweh and do what He says do, no matter what aches and pains the body suffers. That “woman” is a reflection of every human being on earth, because all souls trapped in a body of flesh (where demons love to come in and lead souls away from Yahweh) are of feminine essence. All souls in the flesh are called to be “Wives” of Yahweh. To reach that blissful day of wedding (this woman had to suffer eighteen years), one keeps the oil of truth lighting one’s self-lamp; so, one is able to be enlightened to Yahweh’s presence and patience of devotion (a wifely duty) is proved. We are all called today to do the same as that “woman” did, until the time when Jesus comes spiritually (in the body of someone looking nothing like his color book pictures) to officiate that divine union, where “hands are placed upon one’s soul,” making them become reborn as Jesus, the Son of Yahweh.
