THE ROCKS -THE STONES -AND MIRROR IMAGES

Heres a study Ive been working on for just about 3 months. It gave me a lot of pleasure, and a new outlook on different words. Fathers word is so complete, it amazes one each time a study is completed. I hope you enjoy this, and you find it a blessing!
The tools used for this study are: Strongs Exhaustive Concordance, Greenes Interlinear, and Biblesoft.
Asking for wisdom and understanding in the Name of Yashuah, AMEN.

STONE:
OT:68 STRONGS
eben (eh-ben); from the root of OT:1129 through the meaning to build; a stone:
KJV-+ carbuncle, + mason, + plummet, [chalk-, hail-, head-, sling-] stone (-ny), (divers) weight (-s).

OT:1129
banah (baw-naw); a primitive root; to build (literally and figuratively):
KJV-(begin to) build (-er), obtain children, make, repair, set (up), X surely
KJV-(mill-, stumbling-) stone.

We will come back to the OT in a little while, but now..
Lets look at the New Testament word for stone.

NT:5586
psephos (psay-fos); from the same as NT:5584; a pebble (as worn smooth by handling), i.e. (by implication of use as a counter or ballot) a verdict (of acquittal) or ticket (of admission); a vote:
KJV-stone, voice.


(The last syllable of this word is Phos, like phosphorous,: be luminous: shine: That goes back to Satans name in the O.T. Lucifer, which means bright shining star: This is documented in Isaiah.

Isa 14:12
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!


NT:5584
pselaphao (psay-laf-ah-o); from the base of NT:5567 (compare NT:5586); to manipulate, i.e. verify by contact; figuratively, to search for:
KJV-feel after, handle, touch.

NT:5567
psallo (psal-lo); probably strengthened from psao (to rub or touch the surface; compare NT:5597); to twitch or twang, i.e. to play on a stringed instrument (celebrate the divine worship with music and accompanying odes):
KJV-make melody, sing (psalms)..

NT 5597
psocho (pso-kho); prolongation from the same base as NT:5567; to triturate, i.e. (by analogy) to rub out (kernels from husks with the fingers or hand):
KJV-rub.


I would like to begin this study in Revelation 15.


Rev. 15:1-5
1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:


This is what the Strongs definition is of the word tabernacle.

NT:4633
skene (skay-nay); apparently akin to NT:4632 and NT:4639; a tent or cloth hut (literally or figuratively):
KJV-habitation, tabernacle.

NT:4632
skeuos (skyoo-os); of uncertain affinity; a vessel, implement, equipment or apparatus (literally or figuratively [specifically, a wife as contributing to the usefulness of the husband]):


6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

We will be coming back to this verse in just a little while.

7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth forever and ever.


We see from this chapter that this is happening in HEAVEN, and that these have gotten the victory over these 4 things mentioned 1) the Beast, 2) the Image, 3) the Mark, and 4) the Name. A second witness to this is Revelation 20.

Rev 20:4
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.


This chapter is a little bit different, as two things are added. Remember what the number "TWO" means in biblical numerics. It means "WITNESS". These had the witness of Jesus, and the Word of God.

St. John 1:1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God.

Rev 19:11-13
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with vesture dipped in blood: and HIS NAME IS CALLED THE WORD OF GOD.


Youve heard it said many times, JESUS IS THE LIVING WORD . Christ told us this when He said, I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA. St. John 10:30 "I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE".
Okay: now that this is documented, lets get back to Revelation 15, to take a closer look at a few things that are relevant in verse 6. and there came out from the temple the seven angels that had the seven plagues, arrayed with (precious) stone, pure (and) bright, and girt about their breasts with golden girdles.
ASV Okay. This is the American Standard Version. However, Bullinger notes this in the side column of the Companion Bible. Bullingers note reads inlinen. The texts reads. with precious stone pure and bright. Precious stone? What precious stone? It certainly cannot be the one for enumerating over a long period of time: that is how you discern who the Kenites are. What is this precious stone that the seven angels had?
Lets go to Revelation Chapter Two.

Rev 2:17
17
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

Okaywe have to go to the Old Testament to find out what this means. THE BOOK OF ISAIAH.

Isa 62:3-5
3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
If youve ever seen a crown, it is inlaid with precious stones.
4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.


This crown of glory is also mentioned later in this study. Christ says that EVERYONE who overcomes will be given a white stone, and no man knows it except he that receives it. This stone also has a word written across it. ACQUITTED. All students of Fathers Word whose spiritual eyes are open know exactly what this means. It is from the word JUSTIFIED, and even goes back to the first earth age.
And who are those seven angels? Are they the 7 PILLARS of Proverbs Chapter 9? Lets take back this word PILLAR to the Hebrew, the original language.

OT: 5982
`ammuwd (am-mood'); or `ammud (am-mood'); from OT: 5975; a column (as standing); also a stand, i.e. platform:
KJV-X apiece, pillar.

OT: 5975
`amad (aw-mad'); a primitive root; to stand, in various relations (literal and figurative, intransitive and transitive):
KJV-abide (behind), appoint, arise, cease, confirm, continue, dwell, be employed, endure, establish, leave, make, ordain, be [over], place, (be) present (self), raise up, remain, repair, + serve, set (forth, over, -tle, up), (make to, make to be at a, with-) stand (by, fast, firm, still, up), (be at a) stay (up), tarry.


TO STAND FAST AND FIRM. TO ENDURE..TO ORDAINSOUNDS LIKE THE ELECTION TO ME. Are these seven angels the seven pillars? Remember the precious stone, pure and bright from Revelation 15. Lets look some more into this word stone, and see what we can find in the Old Testament.

Gen 28:11-18
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.


Here we see the very first anointing recorded in the bible. Lets go to Exodus.

Ex 24:12
12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.


Our Father uses many stones, many rocks and many mirrors. It is up to each Individual to properly discern between the good and the evil. This comes by Studying Fathers Word.

Exodus 25:1-5
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
Tithes and offerings should be given with joy and love, or it is not counted.
3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats hair,
5 And rams skins dyed red, and badgers skins, and shittim wood,


Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,

Ex 25:7
7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.


The ephods are located on the shoulders, much like the epaulets of many uniforms, such as those belonging to police officers or members of the armed services. Father is stating that along with the oil, the stones are very important, and the stones also go into the breastplate of the Levitical priests, The Sons of Zadok. Does this mean that the elect have to be out of the tribe of Levi, out of the sons of Aaron? No, it does not. This is purely SPIRITUAL. NOT PERTAINING TO THE FLESH.

Ex 28:9-11
9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10 Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.


This seal is still used today, such as the seal of the President of the United States, and the royal seal Of the monarchy in Britain. Mankind is either sealed with Gods seal, or has the mark of the Beast. No riding fences in this earth age. One or the other. We will mention this engraving and sealing later on in this study. Lets jump down a little.

Ex 28:15
15 And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.


BREASTPLATE OF JUDGEMENTTHIS IS WHAT PAUL WAS TALKING ABOUT IN THE BOOK OF 1ST CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 6:2-3.

ICor 6:2-3
2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

Deut 4:13
13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

Josh 24:27
27 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.


We have here another stone as a witness. We will a look at the stone David used in giving Goliath the DEADLY WOUND, but first, do you recall the book of Ecclesiastes, which states that there is nothing new under the sun? Remember also that there is another DEADLY WOUND mentioned in the 13th chapter of the Book of Revelation, and our Father told us about the very first deadly wound in the Book of Genesis. Lets go there first.

Gen 3:14-15
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.


Before we go to David and Goliath, lets check out Psalms 110
THIS ALSO MENTIONS A DEADLY WOUND.

Psa 110 1-7
1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.


WE WILL COME BACK TO THIS PSALM AGAIN.
Take a look at David in the 1st Book of Samuel.

1 Sam 17:49
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.


Goliath literally bit the dust. Pun intended. (Genesis 3:14)
David picked up 5 smooth stones5 in biblical numerics means grace. Goliath also had 4 brothers: 4 in biblical numerics means of the Earth, which lead to believe that this covered the four corners of the earth at that time. The inhabited earth as men knew it back then. The second influx of the Nephilim were not of small number.
There is another mention of a deadly wound in the Book of Genesis. Cain gave it to Abel. More on that later. Lets go to the 1st Book of Kings and find out what was in the Ark.

1 Kings 8:9
9 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.


Remember, the rod of Aaron and the omer of manna were in the holy of holies, NOT in the Ark of the Covenant.(See Exo 16:33 and Numbers 17:10) Only the stones with the 10 commandments, written with the finger of God were in the Ark. That is the law of God and also His orders. The word ROD in the Strongs. has a deeper meaning pertaining to Psalms 110.

ROD is # 4294.
matteh (mat-teh); or (feminine) mattah (mat-taw); from OT: 5186; a branch (as extending); figuratively, a tribe; also a rod, whether for chastising (figuratively, correction), ruling (a sceptre),
throwing (a lance), or walking (a staff; figuratively, a support of life, e. g. BREAD).
KJV-rod, staff tribe.


We will document what Bread this is in the Gospel of St. John.

John 6:30-37
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them,
I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE; he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

Back to PSALMS 110.

1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.


From the Book of St. John, we see that Jesus Christ is the Bread of life. This word BREAD is taken from the word ROD as we have just studied. Now that we now know what the ROD and the BREAD represent, well go back to the study on the stones. It is amazing how everything ties together and makes a circle.
Here is a mirror side to the positive stone.

Job 41:24
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.


The subject here is leviathan. The DEVIL.

Job 41:30
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

Job 41:34
34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.


PRIDE IS WHAT MADE SATAN FALL IN THE FIRST EARTH AGE.
That last verse makes it clear as to who the subject is. Go back to the Psalms. Here we are going back to the positive side of the word stone.

Ps 91:12
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.


This can also be found in the Gospel of Matthew in Chapter 4. Satan knows about the rocks and stones. We will look into this a bit later in this study. It will all tie in for you as we continue and you will see that the stones and rocks are very important in the plan of YHVH and in this earth age. Satan knows this, as he referred to stones twice when he tempted Christ in the wilderness.

Ps 118:22
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

Isa 8:11-14
11 For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.


This stone is Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Isa 28:16-17
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.


This plummet should ring a bell for you. Lets find out where else the PLUMMET is mentioned.

2 Kings 21:13
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.


Father is going to give this world one big righteous colonic that will purge very effectively.

Zech 4:6-10
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.


THIS WORD PLUMMET IN HEBREW IS AS FOLLOWS: STRONGS Hebrew. #s 68 and 913.

OT:68
eben (eh-ben); from the root of OT:1129 through the meaning to build; a stone:
KJV-+ carbuncle, + mason, + plummet, [chalk-, hail-, head-, sling-] stone (-ny), (divers) weight (-s).

OT:1129
banah (baw-naw); a primitive root; to build (literally and figuratively):
KJV-(begin to) build (-er), obtain children, make, repair, set (up), X surely.

OT:913
bediyl (bed-eel); from OT:914; alloy (because removed by smelting); by analogy, tin:
KJV-+ plummet, tin.

OT:914
badal (baw-dal); a primitive root; to divide (in variation senses literally or figuratively, separate, distinguish, differ, select, etc.):
KJV-(make, put) difference, divide (asunder), (make) separate (self, -ation), sever (out), X utterly.


In the Companion Bible, Bullingers note in the side column says this: HEBREW STONE OF TIN=TIN WEIGHT USED AS A PLUMMET. THIS CAN BE FOUND IN ZECH 4:10. There seems to be a division of the children, and the stones seem to be separating them.

Zech 3:8-9
8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.


That should take you back to Isaiah where the name Hephzibah and Beulah are mentioned, back also to Revelation 15:6, and Revelation 2:17, and back to the beginning of this study.
THIS ENGRAVING IS FROM OUR FATHER. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE HIS SEAL, YOU HAVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST. WE COVERED THIS EARLIER IN THE STUDY. Do you know what that stone is that is laid before Christ? It is the stone with seven eyesthe election. (Seven Angels? Seven Pillars?). He was that cornerstone that was rejected, and THAT STONE with the seven eyes is what He will build His new millennial temple with. Jesus being that sure foundation, that precious cornerstone of the building. Jesus called Peter the Rock on which He would build his church. The elect make up the many membered body of Christ and the Temple thereof.

John 2:19-21
19 Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.


Mark 14:57-58
57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.


The election know that although the false witnesses were lying, that they were in fact stating the truth.

1 Cor 3:16-17
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.


THAT IS YOU! Back to the stones, and back to Zechariah.

Zech 9:16
16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.


OUR FATHER SHALL SAVE US, FOR HE IS OUR SALVATION! THERE WILL BE NO MORE SORROW, NO MORE PAIN AND NO MORE FLESH. (THANK YOU FATHER!) HE WILL WIPE OUR TEARS AWAY AND WILL BLOT OUT EVERYTHING PAINFUL, SHAMEFUL HURTFUL AND OFFENSIVE. THERE WILL BE EXCEEDING JOY, GLADNESS, LOVE, AND HAPPINESS BEYOND MEASURE AND THAT WILL LAST ETERNALLY. HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHTEOUS AND PERFECT, FOR EVIL WILL HAVE FOLLOWED SATAN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BE TURNED TO ASHES. THAT TIME IS APPROACHING RAPIDLY. HE PROMISED THAT THIS GENERATION (THE GENERATION OF THE FIG TREE) WOULD NOT PASS. Back to checking out the stones.

Matt 3:9
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.


Abrahams faith was so strong in YHVH, that he WAS going to SACRIFICE HIS SON as YHVH commanded him. Abraham KNEW that Father would raise up EITHER Isaac or the very stones on the ground as his children because of the promise made to him, that he would be the father of many nations, and that his seed would be as the dust of the earth: to literally cover the world with children. How many of us has that much faith today? We are His children. The children of God and also the children of Abraham. Look what Father did for us. He came in the flesh and allowed the Kenites to nail Him to a cross and crucify Him: for you, for me and for many. He died for us, giving us eternal life through His sacrifice. No greater love can be found. Thats how much He loves His children. Unmerited Favor, Grace. If He had not done this, even those who were chosen from before the foundations wouldnt be able to make it to heaven, as flesh is sin. Always remember to thank Him and repent often, as sin can be committed without realizing it.

Matt 4:1-3
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.


THIS IS THE FIRST MENTION OF STONES BY SATAN.

Matt 4:4
4 But he answered and said,
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.


(I would rather think of the devil TESTING our Lord and Savior, not tempting him. I dont think Jesus was tempted in the least.) There is another side to this also. The mirror side. Why would Satan use this particular phrase command that these stones be made bread? Matthew Chapter 13 touches on this. Christ is explaining this to his disciples.

Matt 13:10-15
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them,
Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this peoples heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

(There were certain people not meant to be healed).
This was quoted from the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 6:vs 9-10.
Our Heavenly Father sent His Son, who performed many great miracles in their sight, and yet those scribes and Pharisees, after seeing and hearing the Lord, understood nothing of what He was or what He was doing. Their traditions were so complex, that they studied the rites and rituals more than they did Gods law. Their minds were closed tight. Jesus gave us many prophecies and teachings as He walked upon the earth fulfilling the scriptures, and that was the time when those scribes and Pharisees were plotting to kill Him. They wanted him dead and out of their way. They were more concerned how Jesus offended them by stating truth, that all they could think to do was to plot and scheme to kill Him. They wouldnt have known the truth if it bit them on their noses. Pun intended again.
We are so truly blessed that Father has given us eyes to see and ears to hear, and that when we partake of that Bread of Life, understanding what it symbolizes, we can feel that total and complete oneness with God every time we take Holy Communion. AT ONE WITH THE FATHER. This is where we get our word ATONE from. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME HE MENTIONS THE WORD STONE.

Matt 4:5-6
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.


SATAN KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS SAYING AND ON WHAT LEVEL HE
IS SAYING IT ON.

St. John 6:35
35 And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.


When we get into the book of Deuteronomy, we will see that Our Rock is not as their rock, and their spot is not as ours. Those little stumbling stones that most Christians are tripping on are the stones of usury, and that, among other things, belong to the Kenite nation. That offspring of Satan, through his son Cain. They have been a thorn in the side of the Children of God since Cain murdered Abel in the book of Genesis. Today, the Kenites control these four hidden dynasties: Politics, Education, Economy and Religion. A good way to remember this is by using an acrostic. Take the first letter of these four words. It spells PEER. Have you ever heard of PEER PRESSURE? Thats plain enough to make anyone sit up and take notice. Children telling you what kind of clothes they have to have, or risk being made fun of. Keeping up with the Joness. Women dieting to be thin and svelte. Men having hair transplants. Liposuction. Augmentation. You name it. Its out there, and put out in every way imaginable. Kids kill kids over a jacket or a pair of shoes. And its getting worse. More on the stones.

Luke 19:37-40
37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the
highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones
would immediately cry out.


The disciples and followers loved Him so much, that it would have been easier for a little old rock to cry out than to silence the people from glorifying Him in the manner that was stated in verse 37.

Luke 21:5-6
5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Do you behold these stones spiritually or by the flesh eye?
Remember the temple. It is You. In the Book of Revelation, chapter 11, it talks about TWO WITNESSES.
This is a very spiritual subject, and it says so much to us. Satan is the false rock, and Christ stated that at His return, not one stone should be left upon another. In other words, he turns them into dust; as God cursed the serpent back in the Book of Genesis, and told him he would eat dust all the days of his life. God in like manner will turn Satan to ashes from within. The words that come out of the mouths of the election when they are delivered up comes DIRECTLY from the HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE WORD IS FIRE; A TWO-EDGED SWORD THAT CUTS BOTH WAYS. MANY PEOPLE WILL BE HORRIFIED AND WILL PRAY FOR DEATH TO DELIVER THEM FROM THE AWFUL HUMILIATION AND SHAME THEY EXPERIENCE WHEN THEY FINALLY WAKE UP REALIZE WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING AND WHOM THEY HAVE BEEN WORSHIPPING. HOWEVER, BEFORE THE REALITY OF THAT SINKS INTO THEIR BRAINS, THEY WILL BE ABSOLUTELY AND TOTALLY CONVINCED THAT WHO THEY ARE WORSHIPPING IS THE TRUE GOD.. THEY WILL BE GREATLY OFFENDED BY THE ELECTION. THINKING THEM TO BE DEVIL WORSHIPPERS, THEY WILL CALL THE ELECTION ANTICHRISTERS AND LOOK TO KILL THEM. THEY WILL BELIEVE THIS AS STRONGLY AS WE KNOW AND BELIEVE THE SCRIPTURES THAT SATAN COMES FIRST.

John 16:1-2
1
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you

Will think that he doeth God service.

Rev 11:5
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Jer 5:14
14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

Jer 23:29
29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?


HE WILL DEFINITELY SMASH THAT ROCK TO SMITHEREENS, AND ALL THE LITTLE STONES THAT FOLLOW THAT ROCK. Let's go to the Book of St. John

John 8:57-59
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them,
Verily,verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM

HE IS THE GREAT I AM

John 8:59
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.


Remember that these were the Kenites. They wanted to use stones, physically and spiritually (remember that their father is the false rock: stone) to strike at the Lord. Did Yashua hide himself, or did He change dimensions where He could not be seen and walked right past them and out of the temple?

John 10:24-25
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I TOLD you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Fathers name, they bear witness of me.


WHEN DID HE TELL THEM?

Mark 14:61-62
61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62 And Jesus said:
I AM: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,
And coming in the clouds of heaven.


BACK TO THE BOOK OF SAINT JOHN.

John 10:26-28
26
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.


Your name is written on the palm of His hand.

Isa 49:16)
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

John 10:29
29
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Fathers hand.


Christ had said this two times, so there could be no mistake about his election.

John 10:30-31
30
I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

This is probably one of the greatest examples given in the bible about SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS. They didnt understand one thing that Jesus had told them. They had their own (oral and otherwise) traditions going, and would do anything they wanted to because they were HOLIER THAN THOU, putting on great shows of being oh so holy, and showing everyone how close to God they were. (Today, this is called acting. Performers get together once a year and have an award honoring their own, and the one most esteemed for his acting abilities gets to take home a little statue. Its called an OSCAR. Im sure that you have seen an award showa time or two during your lifetime.The scribes and Pharisees could have gotten Oscars themselves. They were showing how burdensome and hard it was to be in that sanctimonious position; sacrificing all their time and making themselves appear to be great men, while yoking the people with burdens, and taking whatever they wanted for themselves. Jesus offended them. They hated Him. They wanted to stone Him. This is the reason why Christ spoke in parables.
There is nothing new under the sun. A lot of people still treat the religious leaders like this today. People are brought up to believe that a priest, pastor, minister or any kind of a clergyman is just a little bit better and deserves more respect because they are closer to God then just an ordinary man. Religious leaders were always supposed to be above the common folk, just like a policeman is supposed to be a model citizen, never to break laws being lawmen themselves. Turn on your television sometime, and watch the religious healings": the burning of bills and the preaching by the so-called holy men of today. It is very sad. The lies they are feeding the people will have to be answered for.
Please remember that the priests during the time of Christs Ministry were NOT the sons of Levi, who SHOULD have been the priests, but were the sons of Cain, the Kenites, appointed by Herod. Back to the Book of Matthew.


Matt 23:1-2
1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples
2 Saying,
The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses seat:

Go to the Book Peter.

1 Peter 2:5-6
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.


I HOPE YOU CAUGHT THAT WORD ELECT IN THAT LAST SENTENCE.

1 Peter 2:7-9
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:


HE CALLED YOU AND CHOSE YOU. WHAT MORE COULD YOU EVER WANT?
Now to Revelation, and check out that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.

Rev 21:19-20
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.


There are 12 stones mentioned here. Like the breastplates of the Zadok. Satan also has a breastplate, and so does his locust army. We will check these out later.

Rev 21:21
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.


The pearls should ring a bell for you. You were told not to cast your pearls before swine.

Rev 21:22
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.


Lets find some more examples of stones and rocks. We will look up the word ROCK and take it back to the prime a little later.

Ex 17:6
6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.


This is the same Rock that Jacob annointed back in Genesis.

Num 20:8
8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.


We studied on the Rock and the Rod earlier in this study. See how everything fits together?

Num 20:10-11
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

Deut 8:15
15Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

Deut 32:13-15
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.


JESHURUN IS A DERROGATORY SLANDER AND SLUR ON THE NAME ISRAEL. WE HAVE GOTTEN FAT AND LAZY. WE SOLD OUT FOR THE MONEY. NAME A RADIO, VCR, TELEVISION, STEREO OR CAMCORDER THAT IS MADE IN THE USA TODAY. THE FOREIGN CARS ARE FLOODING OUR MARKETS, AND AMERICANS ARE BUYING THEM. PEOPLE DONT CARE ABOUT THE PROFITS MADE RETURNING TO THE FOREIGN NON-CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES FROM WHICH THEY CAME. IN DOING THIS, THEY DO NOT SUPPORT AMERICA, THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. THERE IS LITTLE PRIDE LEFT IN THE WORKPLACE TODAY: VERY FEW CARE ABOUT A JOB WELL DONEONLY THE PAYCHECK. AND THE RESULTS OF THIS ARE PRODUCING A POORER QUALITY OF MERCHANDISE, ALMOST INFERIOR TO FOREIGN MADE PRODUCTS. HENRY FORD WAS AN AMERICAN WHO INVENTED THE AUTOMOBILE. PRICE A FORD AND COMPARE IT WITH A NISSAN. THE PRICE DIFFERENCES AND WARRANTIES ARE STAGGERING. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
HONDA, TOYOTA, NISSAN AND HONDA..FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU PEARL HARBOR. MANY OF YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED ON DECEMBER 7TH.. OUR LOSSES WERE HORRIFIC. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO INSULT ANY FOREIGN PEOPLES OR COUNTRIES, AS WE ARE ALL GODS CHILDREN, BUT THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL FOR AMERICANS. YOU LIVE IN THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. SUPPORT IT AND TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR WORK!

Deut 32:30-33
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.


Their rock is the devil himself. Jesus taught that He is the Vine, and His first miracle was turning water into wine. Pure wine, the best of the best. Their grapes are withered, rotten, and turned to vinegar. When we take Holy Communion, we partake of that wine as His blood, shed for you and me and many. As for their vine, it is pure perversion. Unnatural acts.

Deut 32:37
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,


Father is saying to them-GO LET THE GODS YOU PRAYED TO HELP YOU.
We know the ending of the book, and we know who will win this battle. They THINK they will, but they are DEAD WRONG. Satan doesnt care if they perish: after all, he wants company, and will take as many as he can with him to the lake of fire. He turns on his own children, the Kenites. He is so full of self-love that he doesnt care about anything or anybody. And he changes roles quite often, and plays them ALL, from the one world system to playing Christ to playing God.
Go to 2 Samuel.

2 Sam 22:1-3
1 And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; thou savest me from violence.

2 Sam 22:32
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?

2 Sam 22:47
47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.


Lets go to the Book of Romans

Rom 9:33
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.


He is OUR Rock and the Cornerstone.
Look at the word COUNT". The Strongs number is:

NT:5585
psephizo (psay-fid-zo); from NT:5586; to use pebbles in enumeration, i.e. (generally) to compute:
KJV-count.

NT:5586
psephos (psay-fos); from the same as NT:5584; a pebble (as worn smooth by handling), i.e. (by implication of use as a counter or ballot) a verdict (of acquittal) or ticket (of admission); a vote:
KJV-stone, voice.

NT:5584
pselaphao (psay-laf-ah-o); from the base of NT:5567 (compare NT:5586); to manipulate, i.e. verify by contact; figuratively, to search for:
KJV-feel after, handle, touch.

NT:5567
psallo (psal-lo); probably strengthened from psao (to rub or touch the surface; compare NT:5597); to twitch or twang, i.e. to play on a stringed instrument (celebrate the divine worship with music and accompanying odes):


DO YOU REMEMBER THIS WORD FROM THE BEGINNING OF THIS STUDY?
KJV-make melody, sing (psalms).

NT:5597
psocho (pso-kho); prolongation from the same base as NT:5567; to triturate, i.e. (by analogy) to rub out (kernels from husks with the fingers or hand):
KJV-rub.
1) to pluck off, to pull out
2) to cause to vibrate by touching, to twang
a) to touch or to strike the chord, to twang the strings of a musical instrument so that they gently vibrate.
b) to play on a stringed instrument, to play, the harp, etc.
c) in the Septuagint, to sing with the music of the harp
d) in the New Testament, to sing a hymn, to celebrate the praises of God in song


The meaning of this word is to praise in songs or hymns. As David psalloed our Father in the Old Testament, and as the disciples sang songs and hymns in the New Testament, so it will be like in the end days. Only they will be singing hymns toa false god, the false christ.

Rom 15:9
9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

1 Cor 14:15
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

Eph 5:19
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

James 5:13
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.


Lets take a closer look at this word "SING".

STRONGS NT:5567
psallo (psal-lo); probably strengthened from psao (to rub or touch the surface; compare NT:5597); to twitch or twang, i.e. to play on a stringed instrument (celebrate the divine worship with music and accompanying odes):
KJV-make melody, sing (psalms).


We have taken the words count and sing back to their primes, and see that they come from the same word.

Rev 13:18
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.


COUNT: STRONGS # 5585
IT SORT OF LOOKS LIKE WE MADE A CIRCLE DOESNT IT?
This is from the word Count..using PEBBLES for enumeration. Like casting lots in the book of Esther. Or casting lots for the clothing of our Lord while He hung on the cross. That is why in Revelation 11:10, they will be celebrating PURIM.

Rev 11:10
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.


For every positive, there is a negative. A MIRROR IMAGE.
Let us now take a look at the word "ROCK" in the Old Testament.

OT:5553
cela (seh-lah); from an unused root meaning to be lofty; a craggy rock, literally or figuratively (a fortress):KJV-(ragged) rock, stone (-ny), strong hold.

OT:6697
tsuwr (tsoor); or tsur (tsoor); from OT:6696; properly, a cliff (or sharp rock, as compressed); generally, a rock or boulder; figuratively, a refuge; also an edge (as precipitous):
KJV-edge, X (mighty) God (one), rock, X sharp, stone, X strength, X strong. See also OT:1049.

OT:6696
tsuwr (tsoor); a primitive root; to cramp, i.e. confine (in many applications, literally and figuratively, formative or hostile):
KJV-adversary, assault, beset, besiege, bind (up), cast, distress, fashion, fortify, inclose, lay siege, put up in bags.


Deut 32:31
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

Jer 23:29
29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?


We went to this verse a while back. Remember? Lets look at the King and the Prince of Tyrus, who is Satan. Father describes him and talks about his future in Ezekiel Chapter 28.
Here is the Strongs definition for the word Tyrus.

OT:6865
Tsor (tsore); or Tsowr (tsore); the same as OT:6864; a rock; Tsor, a place in Palestine:
KJV-Tyre, Tyrus.
***. tsur. See OT:6697.

OT:6864
tsor (tsore); from OT:6696; a stone (as if pressed hard or to a point); (by implication, of use) a knife:

OT:6696
tsuwr (tsoor); a primitive root; to cramp, i.e. confine (in many applications, literally and figuratively, formative or hostile):
KJV-adversary, assault, beset, besiege, bind (up), cast, distress, fashion, fortify, inclose, lay siege, put up in bags.
KJV-flint, sharp stone.


Ezek 28:2-7
2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.


Before we take an in-depth look at the word Tyrus, side step for a moment and consider this last verse that talks about the brightness of Satan. Satan WILL have his brightness defiled. This is a play on the name Lucifer, which is written of in Isaiah 14. Lucifer, son of the morning. Lets go to the Strongs and look at this word "Lucifer".

OT:1966
heylel (hay-lale); from OT:1984 (in the sense of brightness); the morning-star:

OT:1984
halal (haw-lal); a primitive root; to be clear (orig. of sound, but usually of color); to shine; hence, to make a show, to boast; and thus to be (clamorously) foolish; to rave; causatively, to celebrate; also to stultify:
KJV-(make) boast (self), celebrate, commend, (deal, make), fool (-ish, -ly), glory, give [light], be (make, feignself) mad (against), give in marriage, [sing, be worthy of] praise, rage, renowned, shine.

OT:1966
This is from Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon:
heylel
Lucifer = light-bearer
1) the shining one, the morning star, Lucifer; used of the king of Babylon and Satan (figuratively)
2) Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament: Helel, describing the king of Babylon


We have another mirror here. We have seen that Lucifer means light-bearer". Lets check this out.

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

Rev 22:16
16
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

THERE ARE TWO MORNING STARS. THIS IS WHAT THAYERS GREEK LEXICON SAYS ABOUT THE WORD COMPREHENDED.

NT:2638
katalambano
to lay hold of
a) to lay hold of so as to make ones own, to obtain, to attain to, to make ones own, to take into oneself, to appropriate
b) to seize upon, to take possession of
1) used of evils overtaking one, used of the last day overtaking the wicked with destruction, used of a demon about to torment one
2) in a good sense, of Christ by his holy power and influence laying hold of the human mind and will, in order to prompt and govern it
c) to detect, to catch
d) to lay hold of with the mind, to understand, to perceive, to learn, to comprehend


(From The Online Bible Thayers Greek Lexicon and Brown Driver & Briggs Hebrew Lexicon,.)

STRONGS NT:2638
katalambano (kat-al-am-ban-o); from NT: 2596 and NT:2983; to take eagerly, i.e. seize, possess, etc. (literally or figuratively):

NT:2596
kata (kat-ah); a primary particle; (prepositionally) down (in place or time), in varied relations (according to the case [genitive case, dative case or accusative case] with which it is joined):
KJV-about, according as (to), after, against, (when they were) X alone, among, and, X apart, (even, like) as (concerning, pertaining to touching), X aside, at, before, beyond, by, to the charge of, [charita-] bly, concerning, + covered, [daily-], down, every, (+far more) exceeding, X more excellent, for, from ... to, godly, in (-asmuch, divers, every, -to, respect of), ... by, after the manner of, + by any means, beyond (out of) measure, X mightily, more, X natural, of (up-) on (X part), out (of every), over against, (+your) X own, + particularly, so, through (-oughout, -oughout every), thus, (un-) to (-gether, -ward), X uttermost, where (-by), with. In composition it retains many of these applications, and frequently denotes opposition, distribution, or intensity.

NT:2983
lambano (lam-ban-o); a prolonged form of a primary verb, which is use only as an alternate in certain tenses; to take (in very many applications, literally and figuratively [properly objective or active, to get hold of; whereas NT:1209 is rather subjective or passive, to have offered to one; while NT: 138 is more violent, to seize or remove]):
KJV-accept, + be amazed, assay, attain, bring, X when I call, catch, come on (X unto), + forget, have, hold, obtain, receive (X after), take (away, up).


John 8:12
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them,
saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

John 9:4-5
4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

He promised to never leave us or forsake us.
REMEMBER THE WITNESSES OF REVELATION CHAPTER 11 WHO ARE KILLED AND LEFT DEAD IN THE STREET FOR 3½ DAYS? LETS FIND A MIRROR TO THAT.

The Ninth Plague:

Ex 10:21-23
21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.


(THE LIGHT OF LIFE IS GONE FROM THE WITNESSES UNTIL GOD PUTS THE SPIRIT BACK IN THEM AND THEY ASCEND IN A CLOUD. NOT A CLOUD THAT YOU THINK OF AS BEING IN THE SKY, BUT THE CLOUD SPOKEN OF IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 12, VERSE ONE). BACK DURING THE PLAGUE, ISRAEL HAD LIGHT BECAUSE THEY HAD THE LIGHT OF THE WORLDAND THE DARKNESS CANNOT COMPREHEND THE LIGHT.
Back to Ezekiel Chapter 28, where we were before we looked at Satans brightness.

OT:, formative or hostile):

There is another mirror here. Everything Our Father is, or Our Christ is, he (Satan) wants to be.

Ezek 28:11-13
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast reated.


COUNT THE NUMBER OF STONES IN HIS BREASTPLATE. HE IS MISSING THREE.
Now, lets take a breastplate of the locust army

Rev 9:9
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.


Too bad about their breastplates. They are the kind that rust.

Rev 9:17
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone:
and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.


(there are three just mentioned.)
Here we have 3 things also. It must mean that the witnesses have three things also. Lets look back in of Revelation Chapter 11

Rev 11:6
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.


Looks like three things to me! (Remember what Revelation 11:5 says about the 2 witnesses "And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed" .) This locust army of Satans will more than likely show themselves to be the righteous saints of God, and having the breastplates of a priest, but remember what the breastplates are made of that was just stated in Revelation 9:9.Iron. and iron rusts. A cheap imitation. A mirror. Back to the Book of Ezekiel.

Ezek 28:14-16
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.


(Think about the Stones of Fire being the "Ministers of Fire", as Satan will be turned t0 ashes in front of them).
SATAN WAS THE COVERING CHERUB WHOSE STATION WAS TO GUARD THE MERCY SEAT. HE WAS THE ONE MOST FAVORED AND HADTHE FULL PATTERN. WHICH MEANS GOD GAVE HIM EVERYTHING, AS THE FAVORED SON. HE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE MERCY SEAT, AND WHO PROBABLY HAD A BREASTPLATE TO SHOW HIS AUTHORITY OVER ALL OTHER ANGELS AND SERAPHIMS. SINCE THERE IS NOTING NEW UNDER THE SUN, THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A CHAIN OF COMMAND IN THE FIRST EARTH AGE. SATAN WANTED THAT SEAT FOR HIMSELF, AND THERE WAS A REBELLION WITH SATAN TAKING A THIRD OF THE SONS OF GOD WITH HIM. (REV CHAPTER 12). A GOOD MIRROR TO THIS IS TO STUDY KING DAVID AND HIS SON ABSALOM, AND SEE HOW ABSALOM TRIED TO OVERTHROW DAVIDS KINGDOM, TAKING LOTS OF FOLLOWERS, AND CAUSED HEARTACHE AND GRIEF TO THIS FATHER. ABSALOM WANTED THE CROWN. REMEMBER THAT A CROWN IS MADE UP OF MANY STONES.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I CANNOT DOCUMENT, BUT I WILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. HOW DID CAIN KILL HIS BROTHER? DID HE HIT HIM IN THE HEAD WITH A LARGE STONE OR ROCK?

Rev 17:4-5
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.


She is decked out in the finest of things, richly adorned. But she married the wrong king. She thinks that she is a queen. Is she in for a big surprise. She should have read the letter she had gotten from her true husband, but was too lazy to get around to it. She waxed fat and kicked. Here is the true bride and queen.

Rev 21:2
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Rev 21:9
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lambs wife.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

Rev 21:11
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;


OUR ROCK: OUR STONE

Isa 6:13
13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

Isa 8:14-16
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.


(Do you have the seal or do you have the mark? Your fate is in your hands).

Isa 8:17-18
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for
him.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.


YOU ARE GIVEN FOR SIGNS AND WONDERS! OUR FATHER, AND HIS SON AND YOU. ARE THOSE THE 3 STONES MISSING OUT OF SATANS BREASTPLATE? Think on this for a minute. This can even be taken back to the first earth age. Jesus was there, just not in the office of Messiah. There was the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Election. On the negative side, there was Satan, his evil spirit, and his election, the souls who chose him over Our Father
HERE IS OUR LORDS PRAYER.

John 17:20-22
20
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

WE ARE ONE WITH THE FATHER AND THE SON.

1 Cor 10:1-4
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

1 Cor 10:17
17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

Isa 9:6
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.


That is Our Rock our sure foundation, but a stumbling stone to those who do not know the Fathers Word.

Matt 16:18
18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Mark 15:46
46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

Matt 7:9
9
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

The bread is the Bread of Life, The Way, The Christ, the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, The Mighty God, The Savior, The Lamb of God, The Good Shepherd, The Stone that the builders rejected, The Rod, The Branch, The Vine, The Rock, Prince of Peace, The Son of God, Faithful and True, The Light of the World, THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.. and the stone is the prince of darkness.the pebble..the false rockSatan, Lucifer, the Devil, the Serpent, the King of Tyre, the Prince of Tyre, the antichrist, the Assyrian, the King of Babylon, the covering cherub, the morning star, The Adversary, Abbadon, Apollyon, the little horn.

Zech 9:16
16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

James 1:12
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

1 Peter 5:4
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

Rev 2:10
10
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Rev 6:2
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.


WATCH OUT FOR THIS ONE. HE COMES FIRST WITH A CROWN PLAYING CHRIST, BUT HE IS MISSING SOME STONES, ISNT HE? THE POISON HE SPEWS IS TOXIC, AND YOU MAY VERY WELL DIE FROM ITS POISON IF YOU FOLLOW HIM.

Rev 14:14
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.


THIS IS THE ONE WORTH WAITING FOR!

REVEATION 3:11
11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that NO MAN TAKE THY CROWN

DONT LET ANYONE TAKE YOUR CROWN. YOU EARNED IT WATCH THE STONES, AND COUNT. JACOBS PILLAR IS THE STONE OF SCONE, AND THE ROCK THAT MOSES STRUCK WHICH NOW RESIDES IN SCOTLAND. WATCH THAT STONETHAT ISRAEL CARRIED FOR YEARS. CHRIST WILL RECLAIM IT WHEN HE RETURNS.

MAY YHVH BLESS YOU IN YOUR STUDIES,
