Jeremiah 2:4-13 – The Spiritual divorce decree

Leave a comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Psalm 81:1, 10-16 – Beware denying a marriage made in heaven

Leave a comment

1 Sing with joy lelohim our strength *

and raise a loud shout to lelohe of Jacob.

—–

10 I am Yahweh eloheka, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and said, *

“Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.”

11 And yet my people did not hear my voice, *

and Israel would not obey me.

12 So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their hearts, *

to follow their own devices.

13 Oh, that my people would listen to me! *

that Israel would walk in my ways!

14 I should soon subdue their enemies *

and turn my hand against their foes.

15 Those who hate Yahweh would cringe before him, *

and their punishment would last forever.

16 But Israel would I feed with the finest wheat *

and satisfy him with honey from the rock.

——————–

This is a Psalm of Asaph, which means a song of the gatherer. David was the gatherer of souls, who taught them the way to truly be “Israel” was to each marry their own souls to Yahweh and each receive His Son’s soul – the Yahweh elohim that is the soul of Adam (a.k.a. Jesus). This understanding would be taught by David, as there could be no king of a nation of people that would physically lead everyone to salvation through swinging a sword and defeating their enemies in war. Each soul had to be possessed by Yahweh, as His wife-soul; and, each soul had to be joined with the Son’s soul, the “elohim” of which David taught in verse one. The “strength” of “Israel” was “our elohim” within our souls – each possessed by the Son’s soul, who acted as the Lord of each. The use of the name “Jacob,” which means “Supplanter,” says to sing loudly about the “elohim” that “Supplants” each individual soul as the lord of its flesh, becoming the Lord that leads each to victory.

As a companion psalm to the Track 1 Old Testament reading selection from Jeremiah 2, which sings loudly as a divorce decree, verse one in Psalm 81 should be seen as singing the praises of divine union with Yahweh. In return from that most holy marriage, the birth of Yahweh’s Son (the true and only purpose for marriage) – the resurrection of the soul of Adam-Jesus in each and every true Israelite – David was divinely inspired by his personal “elohim” to sing of what all souls like him knew to praise. With verse one being the celebration of that Holy Matrimony, we skip forward to verse ten and hear David singing of what was known to have gone wrong in the pasts of the people, which was not pure divorce but a rejection of marriage, refusing to surrender individual souls to Yahweh, choosing instead to serve self.

Verse ten begins with the Hebrew word “’ā·nō·ḵî,” followed by a vertical bar of pause (“׀”). Because the word “anoki” is the first-person common singular pronoun meaning “I,” this must be read as Yahweh speaking as the owner and possessor of all who claim Him as their Lord and identify as “Israel.” The meaning of “I” can be read as “I AM,” which is what Yahweh told Moses He should be named for all His children in Egypt to know. Following the vertical bar of pause, David sang (divinely inspired to speak for Yahweh), “Yahweh eloheka ,” which says Yahweh is “your elohim,” meaning the Yahweh elohim of Genesis 2 (Adam) is now one with each soul divinely wed to Him. It was this divine inner presence that led the children of Israel out of Egypt (a name meaning “Married To Tragedy”). Moses was likewise filled with Yahweh’s elohim; but nobody crossed the parted sea or survived any of the trial of the wilderness without also being personally and individually “Yahweh your elohim.” Moses not being named says those infants with His Son’s soul were fed spiritual food by Yahweh and His Son’s soul within, not by any other human being (a soul trapped in a body of flesh, prone to sin and die). This says the only thing that keeps a soul from sinning and dying is knowing Yahweh as “I,” because one’s soul has become the resurrection of “Yahweh elohim,” individually as “yours.”

In verse eleven, David names “Israel,” which can be read as the nation of twelve tribes, each descended from a son of Jacob, but the truth to that name is “Who Retains el” of Yahweh. Jacob became “Israel” – an individual soul, not a nation, nor his children – because he wrestled with his demons possessing his soul and forced them away from him, so his soul could serve Yahweh and be forgiven for all his past sins. Jacob was giving the name “Israel” as the name of Yahweh, to whom Jacob’s soul married and the defeated demon spirit told Jacob (led by Yahweh his Creator) told Jacob, “You are now Israel.” In the rest of Genesis, Jacob is still referred to as Jacob, not “Israel.” “Israel” is a spiritual name attached to a soul married to Yahweh, taking on His name in submission and sacrifice.

In the verse eleven, Yahweh said through David, “my people would not heed my voice,” where the “voice” of Yahweh is His Son’s soul becoming the Lord over the soul-flesh of each of His wife-souls, so the fleshy brain is led to divine thoughts spoken by the soul of Adam-Jesus within – one with one’s host soul. By not hearing the “Yahweh elohim” within, “none of the people not hearing an inner Yahweh elohim were not married to Him. Those were the children of parents (like Jacob was Israel to ten of his sons who were not – selling Joseph after trying unsuccessfully to kill him). Each soul born into human flesh must be taught to sacrifice self and marry their souls to Yahweh, so Adam-Jesus can become Lord over their flesh and keep them from waywardness. But, the natural way of humanity is to learn to reject Yahweh, find sin, and then feel the guilt of sin from the teachings of their parents. This is nature’s way, because one must know sin to truly know Yahweh as “I Am” the way – as Jacob came to know Yahweh.

Verse twelve then sings of Yahweh allowing souls to reject marriage to them. He lets them go the way of their own counsel, which invariably leads to a life of sin, following the urges of the flesh. Their “own counsel” becomes demon spirits that possess their souls and lead their brains to follow urges, which are addictions to the worldly realm. Verse thirteen then concludes that this waywardness will take one further away from Yahweh. Here, David again was led to write the proper name “Israel,” which is taking on a false name, as that of a nation of people who believe they are special in the world, because God chose them over all other souls breathed into human forms. That is a lie and taught by false shepherds. The truth of “Israel” is sung by David as “in my ways that should walk.” The lesson of the history of people by that name was waywardness and self-indulgence, which always led to misery and oppression by their enemies (who saw them as just like them, only spewing off at the mouth about being chosen by God to steal land). Not walking righteously made stronger enemies form against them.

Verse fourteen then sings of that history, where the enemies of the people rose up and oppressed those squatting on their lands, while not truly being “Israel.” By living a lie – using the name of Yahweh in vain – Yahweh did not protect those liars from the attacks of their enemies. Rather than Yahweh giving the enemies great powers, the lack of Yahweh’s protection – over people who were ordinarily weak of body, while strong of brain – meant the illusion of an enemy with great powers (like the giant Goliath, who was just a large ordinary soul in human flesh).

In verse fifteen, David sang of “the haters of Yahweh would pretend submission to him,” which is the lie of thinking being born to some descendant of Jacob, who had horrific histories before they submitted their souls to Yahweh, when they knew their guilt of sin when they stood before Joseph, as a great leader of Egypt. To track physical lineage to a sinner makes one be the descendant of a sinner. That praise promotes one’s own acts of sin. All the while those sinners are claiming to be children of Yahweh, when His only Son must be resurrected within each and every soul that can truthfully make that claim. To lie and use the name of Yahweh in vain means those souls will know a “fate” of Judgment that will endure forever. That is the divorce decree of which Yahweh spoke through Jeremiah.

In verse sixteen, David was inspired to sing: “and he would have fed them with the finest wheat ; and from the rock , with honey I would have satisfied you .” This needs to be seen as the proposal of marriage that Yahweh offers all souls. First He promises to “feed” your soul with spiritual food – the “bread” of heaven, manna. This is done by being cleansed by His Spirit – made a Messiah or a Christ – so His Son’s soul can be joined with His wife’s soul and become its Lord. The voice of Yahweh then flows through the Yahweh elohim within. That is where the understanding of Scripture is, so the Law is written on the walls of one’s heart (soul). The soul of Adam-Jesus then becomes the “rock,” from which flows the never ceasing flow of spiritual water. This is the promise of eternal life and is spiritual nourishment that never needs replenishing. The “honey” is the love of Yahweh, which is His Son. The “satisfaction” of all marriages comes in the marriage tent – the tabernacle where a marriage is consecrated and His Son’s seed is sown in the wife-soul’s virgin womb. The Promised Land is a soul in its flesh being given Salvation and eternal life with Yahweh.

Sirach 10:12-18 – The pride of self-esteem is a deadly sin leading to abominations

Leave a comment

[12] The beginning of human pride is to forsake the Lord;

the heart has withdrawn from its Maker.

[13] For the beginning of pride is sin,

and the one who clings to it pours out abominations.

Therefore the Lord brings upon them unheard-of calamities,

and destroys them completely.

[14] The Lord overthrows the thrones of rulers,

and enthrones the lowly in their place.

[15] The Lord plucks up the roots of the nations,

and plants the humble in their place.

[16] The Lord lays waste the lands of the nations,

and destroys them to the foundations of the earth.

[17] He removes some of them and destroys them,

and erases the memory of them from the earth.

[18] Pride was not created for human beings,

or violent anger for those born of women.

——————–

The Sirach reading selection is not part of the standard Old Testament. It is also called the “Wisdom of Ben Sira,” or “Ecclesiasticus.” It was originally written in Hebrew, but I have not found a website that produces that text, along with English translation possibilities. In the above English translation by the NASB, it can be assumed that “God” was written as “elohim” and “Yahweh” has been translated as “the Lord.” While the NASB translation shows only “the Lord,’ other translations (Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition) show the same Hebrew word translated as “God.” Since this is a Wisdom, in the same vein as Solomon’s works, the concepts of both “the Lord” and “God,” when seen as written “elohim” (or other words not “Yahweh”), then the Wisdom is divine inspiration about lesser spirits possessing a soul in less than divine marriage. Regardless of these possibilities, the flow of the text above paints an ugly picture of souls in the flesh who do not have a Yahweh elohim (Adam-Jesus) leading them to hear the voice of Yahweh leading them.

The theme of these verses is clearly “human pride.” It is stated in verses twelve, thirteen and eighteen. It should be recalled that “pride” is one of the seven deadly sins (a RCC list), where the truth of “deadly” is “mortal,” where all bodies of flesh die, leaving souls that were sold for the “pride” of worldly position to return (via reincarnation) to a death state after Judgment … eternally. When the definition of “pride” is seen as: “An excessively high opinion of oneself; conceit,” where “self-esteem, egotism, and vanity” are all synonymous with the definition of “pride,” the element of self-esteem says one rejects union with Yahweh, because one sees “self” (a “soul”) as a god. As such, “pride” has a soul kneel down before the altar of marriage to the flesh, with Satan officiating that possession and one of his demon spirits coming to lord over that soul-flesh to ensure self-esteem is high. The problem with that is self-esteem is measured in things that remain in the material realm after the soul leaves its mortal flesh for Judgment. At that point, as self-esteem becomes the curse of eternal damnation.

When verse twelve says “the beginning of self pride is to forsake Yahweh,” it is then “the soul” (the heart of a soul-flesh entity) that has “withdrawn from its maker.” The maker of a soul (the breath of eternal life placed temporarily in a body of dead dirt, clay, and dust) is Yahweh and only Yahweh. Mankind (its god science-medicine-biology) cannot make a soul. It can only make machines that run on power sources, which always die and need to be replenished or replaced. Mankind can only make images of itself, which means it lives down to the axiom: The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.

In verse thirteen, the defining of “pride” is called “abominations.” To take hold of self-pride means to sin. To sin means to break the Law, which is the Covenant of marriage a soul must make in submission to Yahweh. Agreement to those Laws means Yahweh’s Son must join with one’s soul and become the Lord over its flesh. This is the only way to ensure no further sins will take place by that soul-flesh. To begin “self-pride” means to open the flood gates of sin, which leads to worse and worse breakages of Law, all being deemed “abominations.” The punishment for such crimes is “unheard of calamities,” where the “destruction” is spiritual. A soul can live out its days in prideful flesh; but when those fleeting days are done, the eternal soul will be “destroyed” by eternal condemnation.

In verse fourteen, the overthrow of rulers says the self-esteem of position, where wealth and influence allow a body of flesh to stand upon the souls of others, demanding they pay homage to him or her, will only last so long. The lowly gravedigger will be the last one to walk upon their position, tamping down the loose dirt that symbolizes the end of their reigns.

Verse fifteen says those who claim rule over powerful nations – such as today the United States of America is believed to be a ‘superpower’ – to hear politicians (i.e.: Joe ‘Liar, Liar’ Biden) say, “the soul of our nation is threatened,” there is no land or place in the world that lives. All earth is dead; thus, no nation is capable of having a ‘soul.’ Only individuals, where many millions of individual souls live in one area considered a ‘nation,’ make up the many ‘souls of a nation.’ Those places called nations that have liars leading the people’s souls to ruin will be “plucked out,” meaning left leaderless from foreign attacks. Any lost “souls” allowing themselves to be led by liars will suffer the punishments of being held guilty of ignorance. When their leaders are destroyed, then the lowly humble will be put in their place, which means next in line to be held responsible for the sins of their forefathers.

All so called superpowers will be destroyed by their own means of destruction. All nations led by liars, atheists, and insane human beings with high self-esteem (due to holding the ignorant under their rule) will be destroyed. Their lands will be found lifeless, as all lost souls will be destroyed for allowing liars to lead them to ruin and destruction. The lands will be so toxic that nobody will be able to enter those places and continue to live. The absence of life in those destroyed lands will mean no one will grow up a patriot who bows down before liars and submits his or her soul to demons spirits that destroy souls.

Verse eighteen then returns to the theme of pride. It says “pride was not created for human beings,” which means that born to die has nothing to write home about as favorable. Being human means being a soul trapped in the prison that leads a soul to sin and turn away from Yahweh (the source Father) and turn to pride. Only those having earned eternal life, through marriage of their souls to Yahweh, fully in submission to His Will, can ever experience the true goodness of pride. It is a servant’s feeling from being promised eternal love and affection.

The flesh is meaningless in that promise. When the reference is to “those born of women” it is totally human, with only the breath of life animating flesh that is born to die. True pride can only be experienced by souls having married Yahweh and been cleansed of sins by His Spirit, making that soul become a virgin womb, in which Yahweh will penetrate with His holy seed. That seed is the soul of His only Son (Adam-Jesus); so, when that divine soul is born by a wife-soul made pure by the Spirit, that becomes the only “born of women” of significance. Then, “a woman” is every soul trapped in human flesh, who has become a bridesmaid of Yahweh. It is not a physical “woman” but the femininity of a soul that receives the Spirit of Yahweh and gives rebirth to His Son in their flesh.

Proverbs 25:6-7 – Stay within your means

Leave a comment

Do not put yourself forward in the king’s presence

or stand in the place of the great;

for it is better to be told, “Come up here,”

than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.

——————–

These two verses are simple enough to understand. They can be summed up as the proverb that says, “Stay within your means.” Still, this simple translation is incomplete, as the last portion of verse seven is omitted. A literal translation into English shows this is written:

6 “not do exalt yourself (or honor yourself) in the presence of the king ; and in the place of the great , not do stand .”

7 “for agreeable he to say to you , ascend hither than for you to be abased of the face inclined ; who has seen your eyes .”

Remembering that the Proverbs were a collection of Solomon’s wisdom, gifted to him by Yahweh, which came upon Solomon as a possessing goddess of the worldly realm (Solomon’s spiritual wife and his lord), his reference to “king” literally means Solomon wrote this proverb for non-royals to learn and remember. It says Solomon – who was the epitome of a ‘king like other nations,’ and nothing like his father David – spoke poorly of all pretenders to the throne (his enemies) that sought to take advantage of Solomon’s youth (at first) and his waywardness (later in life). These two verses can then be heard as a threat to all who would attempt to usurp his position as King of Israel (which would happen after his death).

The truth of this wisdom expressed by the mind and pen of Solomon is his consort – Goddess Wisdom – was a creation of Yahweh, as an “elohim” assigned to assist mankind in its quest to find Yahweh and return to Him through submission to Him as King (a Holy Husband for all wife-souls). The spirit (or elohim) Wisdom then whispered the proverbs to Solomon as a double-edged sword that cut both materially (Solomon’s world) and spiritually (Yahweh’s expectations). Thus, while Solomon’s mind wrote “king” and saw that meaning clearly a reference to himself (his wayward soul), Wisdom used a generic word that equally referred to Yahweh. Thus, the spiritual message of these two verses instructs those who stand high upon altars, slaughtering animals and burning them to Yahweh, were “exalting themselves (their souls) in the presence of Yahweh,” such that the people saw them standing high – closer to God – in a position that honored them as high priests, who were Yahweh’s servants.

This was the great lie projected upon the people, in the same way that Solomon taught the lie to bow down before human figures of wealth and power, rather than David teaching the people to be true reflections of “Israel” – “Who Retain the el of Yahweh,” the Son resurrected within each of their souls. Those true Israelites could “stand in the place of the great,” because “the great” (Yahweh’s Spirit and the soul of His Son) was what raised them to an equal status of the King, as His Son reborn – a Prince of Peace.

In verse seven the mistranslated Hebrew construct is “lip̄·nê,” which the NASB translates as “the presence.” The construct is rooted in the Hebrew word “panim,” which is the plural form for “paneh,” meaning “faces.” This says the following Hebrew construct, “nā·ḏîḇ,” meaning “noble,” implying “prince,” is a statement of divine possession not seen and not projected in the text of this verse. All Old Testament uses of words that imply “faces” must be read as a spiritual restatement of the First Commandment, which truly says, “Thou shall wear the faces of no other gods (elohim) before My face.” This means the lesson of this proverb says, “If you do not wear the face of Yahweh, as His Son resurrected within your soul-flesh, so his face projects through your physical face, as the Lord over your soul-flesh for Yahweh, then you cannot invite yourself (your soul) to stand high and proclaim, “I am close to God!” Anyone doing that is committing heresy, by breaking the First Commandment as they mislead others to follow their lead as equals on earth to the King in heaven.

Where the literal translation states “for agreeable he to say to you , ascend hither,” the agreement is the Covenant, which state the spirituality of divine marriage vows. Yahweh sent those vows down with Moses, as a proposal of marriage that would unite each “agreeable” individual soul with His Spirit. After that Holy Matrimony, the consummation of that union would immediately bring about the resurrection of Yahweh’s Son’s soul (one with a host soul), who would become the Lord of that soul-flesh and project the face of Yahweh through the physical face of one saved and awarded eternal life. This is then Yahweh inviting souls to “ascend hither,” into the Spiritual realm.

To rise with a “debased face” – the face of self-ego or the face of a possessing demon spirit (even Solomon’s spiritual face of earthly Wisdom) – says those faces should be “inclined” towards the ground, where their true master (Satan) has been cast. As such, the truth is “seen in the eyes,” which are said to be the ‘windows to the soul.’ If one’s soul is “abased,” it is “inclined” to death, not everlasting life.

Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16 – Sacrificing self to be in the name of God

Leave a comment

Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured. Let marriage be held in honor by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers. Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” So we can say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?”

Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

In verse one (which is possibly the shortest verse written by Paul), the NASB translation is playing politics by turning “philaelphia” – a word most adults know means “brotherly love” – into “mutual love,” as if all the women in churches of some Christian denomination would leave en masse (taking their wads of donation monies with them) if “brotherly” was not changed to accommodate human beings within penises. According to HELPS Word-studies, “philadelphia” is: “(from 5384 /phílos, “loving friend” and 80 /adelphós, “a brother”) – properly, affection for the brethren (fellow-believers).” Notice how “adelphós” does not mean ‘sister,’ as that word is “adelphé.” Still, the translation as “brotherly love” needs to be seen as having a spiritual meaning, not a physical one.

As I have explained many times in the past, a soul trapped in a body of flesh is feminine in essence. Although the soul is eternal – having been breathed out by Yahweh into a body of ‘earth, dust and clay’ that is dead and will return to that state when the soul leaves it – the flesh (and all of the worldly realm) is feminine in nature. Dead flesh receive the soul to have a semblance of life; so, it is feminine in essence. All human beings are souls trapped in bodies of flesh, thus all are potential bridesmaids to Yahweh, as feminine to His masculine. When a soul divinely marries Yahweh, receives His purifying Baptismal Spirit, so a soul becomes a virgin womb into which Yahweh can plant the seed of His Son (Adam-Jesus), the resurrection of that Son within a host soul (in its flesh) becomes a reproduction of the Son of man (where “man” means “mankind,” which includes male and female bodies of flesh). When each and every saved soul is reborn as the Son of Yahweh (Adam-Jesus once more alive in the flesh), then each and every saved soul is masculine spiritually; and, the relationship they all (males and females alike) share is they are “brothers,” because they are all the Son of Yahweh. Yahweh becomes the Father of each and every saved soul.

Now, when the aspect of “love” (the “philos” element of “philadelphia”) is considered, this is the intent and purpose for Yahweh hand-making His Son. The Son is called “Yahweh elohim” in Genesis 2 (eleven times) and that Son was made to save lost souls (the name “Jesus” means “YAH Saves” or “YAH Will Save”). Yahweh made this Savior as His personal “love” for the souls breathed into bodies of flesh, so they could be returned to be one with Yahweh (when they leave their prison of flesh). This means Adam-Jesus – the Son of Yahweh – who is reborn in lost souls, saving them, makes them all “brothers” because of the “love” of Yahweh. The “love” of Yahweh is then the soul of Adam-Jesus, which can only be known when it is resurrected within one’s soul; as it is not the same as physical (emotional) human ‘love.’ Thus, for Paul to write “This brotherly love let it remain” (or “continue”) is a statement that says the possession of a soul by the Son of Yahweh’s soul means eternal life – forever “remaining.”

The translation of verse two is equally mistaken, where “hospitality to strangers” is another politicization that fits hidden agendas of false priests. Two words include “strangers” in their translation into English meanings. The first is “philoxenias,” which means “love of strangers” (written in the Genitive case, translating wholly as “of this of love of strangers”). The second (a balancing word) is “xenisantes,” which means “to receive as a guest,” while implying in usage “I entertain a stranger.” When the whole of verse two is seen as stating, “of this of love of strangers not you forget ; on account of of this indeed , it is hidden [or to escape notice] certain ones having entertained strangers divine messengers .” That is Paul reminding Saints like him “not to forget they were once strangers who found the love of Yahweh.” They were not chosen to be special pets of Yahweh, but to be sent as ‘divine messengers” – each filled with the “angel” of Yahweh’s Son – “to entertain other strangers.” It is “on account of this” – being eternally saved by “brotherly love” – that they will be reborn as the Son so others can equally be saved souls.

In verse three, Paul was not making some statement that hired hands and false shepherds should enter into the dens of inequity that manmade brick-and-mortar prisons housed the most heinous breakers of law known to mankind and attempt to rescue them by delivering lame orations of misunderstanding of divine texts. Paul wrote while in a dungeon in Rome, but he was not pandering for visitors to come show him some love. Paul’s soul will united with Yahweh’s “love” – the Son Jesus resurrected within his soul – so he was not reminding Saints their mission included prison ministries.

That places a wholly material realm meaning onto these spiritual words. Paul was reminding all true Saints that they had once been souls entrapped in the prison of their own flesh; and, Yahweh had freed them from all the self-imposed “mistreatment” they caused to their soul through past sins. Yahweh freed them through Spiritual marriage and the resurrection of His Son within their lost souls, so they were promised eternal life. A Saint is sent out into ministry (not into prisons – keeping in mind Jesus never visited John while he was imprisoned in Herod’s lockup), where the teaching of the truth of Scripture is the key that unlocks the prisons of the flesh: “and the truth shall set you free.”

In verse four, Paul’s references to “marriage” are not about the physicality of a woman being betrothed to a man. They are all about “a wedding within” (from “gamos en”) that unites “all” (“pasin”) souls that are freed (saved eternally). When Paul wrote of “the marriage bed” being “undefiled” (“koitē amiantos”), this is about the cleansing of all past sins, so a soul in its flesh – reborn as Jesus in the flesh – can live the remainder of its life on earth sin free. The “marriage bed” was recently seen in parable, when Jesus told of a friend coming at midnight asking for bread to feed a visitor. Jesus was the soul awoken by the knock (“and the door will be opened”), who was sleeping with Yahweh’s children in the marriage bed with his soul. This means the mention of “adultery” – a Commandment of the divine marriage vows – says a soul saved will no longer ‘sleep around’ with demon spirits that lead a soul in its flesh to sin.

Verse five then begins with the capitalized Greek word “Aphilargyros,” which is the Nominative Masculine Singular form of “aphilarguros,” meaning “without love of money.” The capitalization elevates this word to a divine level of meaning, where the “love of Yahweh” is a true Spiritual “love,” with “money” being metaphor for the worldly realm and all the material possessions it can offer (on a temporary basis). When Paul then continued to say this Spiritual state of “love” was “this manner of life,” he was saying the “brotherly love” that always “remains” is purely Spiritual, from a soul married to Yahweh’s Spirit and the union of a possessing Lord-soul is nothing that can be seen by human eyes. This inner presence always makes a Saint “being satisfied with the present,” which is always “remaining,” never fleeting.

In the second half of verse five, we get the impression that Paul heard Jesus give a quote, when in reality Paul never physically met Jesus. Since there were no book stores selling copies of the New Testament back then, this quote can only be attributed to the truth being told to Paul’s soul, after his soul married Yahweh and became one with the soul of Jesus. The rest of verse five literally translates into English saying, “his soul indeed it has said : not lest you I will give up , neither not lest you I will desert .” When this is attributed to Paul having first stated that his soul has been sent as a statement of Yahweh’s “love,” which always makes a wife-soul married to His Spirit feel His presence in the “present,” the gift of His Son’s soul is the promise of eternal life, which “will never cease being one with one’s soul and never leave a soul-wife of Yahweh once given.”

From this promise of eternal divine assistance, verse six then speaks of the true faith that comes to a soul imprisoned in flesh, from personal experience of the soul of Jesus having been reborn into one’s soul-flesh. It is an affirmation that begins with the capitalized Greek word “Hōste,” which means “Therefore.” When raised to a divine level of meaning, this word must be understood to properly mean: “(a conjunction, derived from 5613 /hōs, “as” and 5037 /té, “both-and”) – wherefore (with the result that both . . . ), connecting cause to necessary effect which emphasizes the result (the combined, end-accomplishment). The result involved then is the combination of both elements in the correlation, underscoring the inevitable effect of the paired elements.” (HELPS Word-studies) As a divine level of Yahweh means Spirituality has joined with a soul (with the second soul of His Son added), the “both and” makes “Therefore” be a divine statement of Spiritual union. Whereas a soul was once lost before, now it has been found forevermore.

The affirmation comes with the complete “confidence” that knows this presence is leading it away from past sins and onward to an eternal life of oneness with Yahweh, as His Son reborn. Thus, all Saints say: “Lord to my soul helper , [ kai ] not I will fear ; what will it do to my soul mankind ?” Here, the capitalization of “Kyrios” becomes a divinely elevated statement that the possessing soul of Jesus (the Son of Yahweh) – as two souls in one body of flesh – will be welcomed as the “Lord” over both the host soul and its flesh. As to Paul saying, “my soul helper,” this is not the soul of Jesus that is the “helper soul,” but the host soul being the “helper soul” to the “Lord” soul – Jesus. The brackets surround the Greek word “kai” means the importance that should be seen in this “Lord my soul helper” is it is unseen and within one’s physical body of flesh. It is then within one’s soul that safety and protection is strongly felt, leading all such souls to affirm, “I will not fear,” knowing this presence is with my soul. The question then asks, “What can mankind do to me?” where there is no persecution or punishment that will be more than a fleeting physical pain, to then be replaced with eternal bliss. There is no reason to fear suffering as a Saint sent out as a messenger of Yahweh, in the name of Jesus.

In verse seven, Paul begins with the capitalized Greek word “Mnēmoneuete,” which means “you Remember.” Following a verse of affirmation to the Spirit and to the Son (two-thirds of the Trinity within), the call to “Remember” is those false shepherds and hired hands who told lies, which were revealed when the soul led by Jesus can and exposed the truth of Scripture for the first time – “the word of God.” The comparison of the two – liars and Saints – is seen by “observing carefully this outcome of this of conduct [or “way of life”] and how each “imitates” [or “follows”] “this faith”. One way leads to the promotion and acceptance of sinful ways, where the leaders of the Temple and their aligned synagogue rabbis, promoted monetary profits at the expense of those seeking to hear the truth of “the word of God.” The other – the Saints – tell the truth and demonstrate how that truth motivates them to lead their lives righteously (with the help of Jesus as their Lord within).

Verse eight then begins with the two capitalized words “Iēsous Christos,” which comes off like a proper name, where Jesus is the Christian name and Christ is the surname. That is not the case, as each capitalized word must be read individually and separately as a divinely elevated meaning related to Yahweh, before the two can be joined together. The name “Jesus” means “Yahweh Saves” and the word “Christ” is the same as the Hebrew word “mashiach” (Hebrew has no capital letters), where both words mean “Anointed.” This, elevated to a divine level of meaning is a statement of Yahweh’s “Anointment,” where His Spirit is poured out upon a soul forever (as was David). Thus, the two words state that “Yahweh Saves” soul that have been “Anointed” by His Spirit. That “Christ” state is the Baptism by the Spirit that makes a soul “Saved by Yahweh” cleansed by all past sins. That virgin state of being makes a wife-soul then (like the Virgin Mary) prepared to receive the soul of His Son, which is sent to all souls “Saved by Yahweh.” Thus, “Jesus Christ” is a statement that says to be “Saved by Yahweh” a soul must be “Anointed” by His Spirit and prepared to become His Son’s place of resurrection – “Receive the Spirit.”

Paul then added that the receipt of this saving soul – which can only enter into one made a “Christ” – had come “yesterday” to all the Saints who would read Paul’s letter written in Hebrew, while he was in a Roman prison. Once a soul has been “Saved by Yahweh” and “Anointed” forever by His Spirit, then that salvation will exist “to the ages.”

In the leap forward to verse fifteen, it is most important to see Paul recommending to those souls not yet married to Yahweh to do like him and the other Saints created since Jesus walked the earth: “we should offer up as a sacrifice of praise because of all to this to God.” This is not a suggestion to throw some hotdogs on the grill and have a party celebrating God. Instead, it means “sacrificing” one’s “whole” self – soul and body – to Yahweh in divine marriage. A “sacrifice” means the total destruction of what once trapped an eternal soul within, such that the flesh has been willingly “offered up” to “this of God” to use as His. When Paul then wrote, “the fruit of the lips confessing this name of his soul,” that is the ministry in the name of Jesus that has his possessing soul lead a body of flesh out, to speak the truth to seekers.

Verse sixteen then says this sacrifice of self to allow the Son of Yahweh to again walk the earth in sin free flesh is what pleases God. When we read in the New Testament Gospels where God spoke and said, “in him I am well pleased,” this refers to those who made such sacrifices of self, because Jesus came to them as seekers and shared the truth to their souls. Yahweh “is pleased” with “all” souls who bow down before Him at the altar of divine marriage and sacrifice self. In return they take on the name of Yahweh (Israel) and they give rebirth to His Son, whose name they enter ministry “confessing” to be (in the name of Jesus).

Luke 14:1, 7-14 – A sabbath luncheon and a parable of a wedding feast

Leave a comment

On one occasion when Jesus was going to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal on the sabbath, they were watching him closely.

When he noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, he told them a parable. “When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host; and the host who invited both of you may come and say to you, `Give this person your place,’ and then in disgrace you would start to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, `Friend, move up higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

He said also to the one who had invited him, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

——————–

Verse one is placed in this reading, while skipping over the following five verses. It is important to know that context, as it is directly pertinent to the information stated in verse one. The five omitted verses tell that “one of the rulers of the Pharisees” had invited a “certain man with dropsy” – a visible swelling in some part of the body, due to a build-up of fluids in the body – so “they were watching closely” Jesus, to see what he would do to this “known Jew” (the meaning of “certain one”). Upon seeing this “certain man,” Jesus asked the guests at the luncheon (“the lawyers kai Pharisees”), “Is it permitted by law to this to sabbath to cure or not ?” When they “were silent” and did not respond, Jesus then “healed his soul” (of the “certain one”) kai “set him free” from that demon spirit within that caused him to retain fluids. Jesus then asked the group, “Of Who of you with a son or an ox fall into a pit on the sabbath would not immediately pull him out ?” To that question they all had nothing they could say. It is then from that demonstration (which showed how poor the “ruler of the Pharisees,” the “lawyers kai Pharisees” were in claiming to serve Yahweh, when none did anything of value any day of the week … much less on the sabbath.

Without knowing the details of these five verses, which make is clear that all the “rulers” of the Temple in Jerusalem and the “Pharisees” who owed their wealth and position to making a profit off knowing nothing of value about the Law (as “lawyers”) says Jesus was then moved to tell a parable about that total incompetence in leadership for the Jews. This means what seems to be Jesus invited to dine where a table would be where seats of position were arranged made him watch the mad scramble to seat close to the head of the table and tell a story about waiting to sit, letting the host seat the guests. That has absolutely nothing to do with the deeper meaning that is in this parable, because everything was set to the environment of the present, but metaphor for being seated at Yahweh’s ‘table’ in the afterlife. Everyone who claimed to know the Law were speechless as to what Law says not to save your son, or even a possession like an ox, if it fell into a pit. While they knew nothing of value about the truth of Scripture, they all positioned themselves as if distinguished guests of Yahweh. Jesus pointed out they were the lowest of all invitees (Jews) and they should admit that lowliness, rather than have Yahweh Judge them as heretics defiling His Holy name.

When verse seven says Jesus then told a “parable,” the Greek word “parabolēn” comes from a root that is properly understood to be: “a teaching aid cast alongside the truth being taught. This casts additional light by using an arresting or familiar analogy, (which is often fictitious or metaphorical, but not necessarily).” (HELPS Word-studies) This means Jesus telling a story about a spiritual gathering, not a physical one, like that Jesus was attending. The spiritual aspect of this “parable” must be remembered to be a “teaching aid cast alongside of the truth being taught.” Jesus was not teaching how to line up at a luncheon and let the one inviting guests seat them one at a time, according to favorability. Jesus was teaching that everyone in that ruler of the Pharisees’ house acted like they were Yahweh’s favored guests in Jerusalem, when not one of them could heal a man with an illness, by being an outlet for Yahweh on earth.

In verse eight, Jesus spoke the equivalent to the Greek word “gamous,” which infers a “wedding feast.” This means the “parable” is not about the rich and powerful gathering to eat lunch on a sabbath, but about the table that is the earth plane being where Yahweh invites His chosen ones to partake of spiritual food (manna from heaven). This then says all those invited (the Jews were the remnant of the chosen ones brought to the Promised Land from Egypt, by Moses) were all bridesmaids awaiting the official union of their souls with the bridegroom – Yahweh’s Spirit. Those who would sit closest to the head of the table would be the Saints, such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Jesus – all the Saints who would officiate the union of wife-souls to Yahweh’s Spirit, with those bridesmaids still awaiting the time for divine marriage considered the least of those invited. This then says the ruler of the Pharisees and his lawyers were more like those bridesmaids whose lamps ran out of oil (the light of truth), at the time when the bridegroom came. They were deemed foolish and never joined with Yahweh as one. They become reflective of the goats that Yahweh and the souls of Jesus would say, “I do not know you,” as they will not be the sheep who sacrificed their worldly positions for the promise of eternal life in the spiritual realm, with Yahweh.

The ruler of the Pharisees and his invited guests (who watched Jesus closely) were those who would show up late at the wedding feast (another parable told by Jesus), not dressed for marriage to Yahweh. They would be kicked out of the wedding feast, in the way that Jesus said the one inviting guests (a proposal of divine marriage) would send out messengers announcing everyone is welcome; but the ones who show up for free food, with no intent of sacrificing their souls in marriage to Yahweh, would not be dressed for such a special occasion. The ruler of the Pharisees and his lawyer friends all had no intentions for marrying Yahweh and sacrificing their worldly gains. Thus, they would be cast out of any promise of eternal life.

As for the “ruler of the Pharisees” (who was just one of many), it makes sense that he would be Nicodemus. The “certain one” who suffered from dropsy would then most likely be Joseph of Arimathea, who when healed had his soul touched by Jesus, making him become wholly supportive of Jesus as the Son of Yahweh. Nicodemus and Joseph would have been secret disciples of Jesus, who were sent out as a pair with the other sixty-nine pairs. Most likely they did not risk being seen defending Jesus in any way, so they did not go tell anyone “the kingdom of God has come near.” The symbolism of a build up of fluids in Joseph means he felt the emotional ebb and flow of Jesus possessed by the Spirit of Yahweh, but he retained that within himself, afraid to let his faith be shown. When Jesus touched Joseph with his soul, freeing Joseph to fully express his love of God and his support of Jesus, not only did his dropsy go away, but he began to serve Yahweh as an extension of Jesus.
