    THE INHERITANCE 

     

    2 SAMUEL 20:16 

    Then cried a wise woman out of the city, 

    “Hear, hear; say, I pray you,” to Joab, 

    “Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.”

    2 SAMUEL 20:17

    And when he was come near to her,  the woman said, “Are you Joab?” 

    And he answered, ”I am he.” 

    Then she said to him, “Hear the words of thine handmaid.” 

    And he answered, “I do hear.”

    2 SAMUEL 20:18

    Then she spake, saying, “They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.”

     2 SAMUEL 20:19

    “I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: you seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?”

    2 SAMUEL 20:20

     And Joab answered and said, 

    “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.”

    2 SAMUEL 20:21

     “The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city.”

     And the woman said to Joab, 

    “Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.”

    2 SAMUEL 20:22

     Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. 

    And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. 

    And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. 

    And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.

    • GOD THE FATHER

      GOD THE FATHER IS OVER ALL, ( LIKE LABEN OVER TOOK JACOB) AND ALL THEM THAT WERE TO BE IN STEAD OF GOD, WERE RAISED UP AND KNOWN BY GOD, AND THEY GAURDED OVER EVEN THE GUARDS AND WERE MESEENGERS OVER THE MESSENGERS., 

      + there is ONE FATHER, even for THE CHRIST. 

      +  THE FATHER SHALL OVERTAKE YOU, asking where and what do you do with my daughters, my children, my livestock, my land, and why have you done this. 

      + it is the same thing that is asked to Jacob by Laben, and thus to Job, 

      +  THE LORD appeared to Job out of the whirlwind, (where it was Satan?) 

      +  THE LORD said to Job, “who is this that darkens words without counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now your loins like a man for I will demand of thee, and answer you ME. Where was you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare if you have the understanding.” 

      + you will notice that we can answer a lot more than Job could back in Job’s day, for we have the Risen Christ, and we have thousands of more years of GOD speaking from on high, and the same that sodom and Gamorrah will rise up on Tyre and Sidon, for if the works performed in them were performed for sodom and gamorrah they would have repented in sack cloth and ash. 

      + well that is the same for you today, for Tyre, Sidon, Sodom, and Gamorrah will rise up against you on the last day of judgement, and testify against you, For as the vine does get better with age, the vintage does get more potent, then so too does the ignorance; though you can not add to ignorance, they will build up as levin in a nation for the pressing. That is the resistance to do right, that is the refusal of the truth, that is the will to push against life and love death even more, if it is possible. 

      + BUT CLEARLY THERE IS  a level to this and they increase every passing day.)

       

       

       

      SHE KNEW MY LORD EXALTED, WAS OVER THE TRIBUTE, 

      + This is either the mother of the sons, or the mother of the daughter, or the daughter herself, I can not tell, for the women play all four roles always, the daughter, the wife, the mother, the sister,, and so could be the mothers to the sisters, or just the sisters, like in the song of Solomon, they all take part to crash them out. 

      + as I once heard in the psyche tale of Psyche and Cupid, Psyche says to Ureal, “do you not know it is them that you should potty, and not get angry, for they are sad, and angry, and it is you that knows, you that have knowing. + So they will all come together, all of them, to stop even one soul form obtaining heaven. Did you not to potty them, pray for them.” Not an exact quote, but it’s from until we have faces. 

       

       

      AND JEHOVAH JUDGED THE SONS OF THE BROTHERS THAT WERE BEGOTTEN, AND THIS IS THE RECORD, 

      + the judged, is HE taught them,  A WISE JUDGE TEACHES HIS PEOPLE. 

      + THE DAUGHTERS, being never risked, all them life, all given a life line, the blood, and we men given the word, that is why the father has the name passed to the sons, and the mother gets the blood. Thus then the father having to do the word, of THE FATHER, passes it down to the sons. 

      + Thus then if a son takes a daughter, then he was ever with her, that is GOD doing all things in heaven, before flesh, yet always being without upbraiding, yet always teaching up in upbraids to understand HIM. Then if you are married, you always married, from the very beginning, and then GOD THE FATHER being THE ONLY FATHER, even for THE CHRIST, who is our LORD, our husbandman, is also our brother, for spouses are equals, with different roles, one the weaker one the stronger vessel, one for this the other for that,

      + now when the Christ is married to us, then we are one with HIM, in Him, but with your husband, you are one with, thus we are one in THE FATHER, but ONE WITH CHRIST. We become the same, thus we become the word, of THE FATHER, thus always was in the heart, thus we ourselves were pre ordained before THE FATHER SPOKE. 

      +  Now that means if you take a daughter, that is your personal Eve, for THE FATHER IS NO Respecter of Persons, then you are the dirt, and she is the life, you are the covering and she is the blood life, she is the portal the matrix, the secret bidding place of GOD, a golden column you are to hold up as a silver base, you are too keep unspotted. 

      + how one does this is absolutely a mystery with you and the FATHER and Christ, for you must cover her from all that is was and is to come, even from THE FATHER, even your Christ, for she is yours your meat, and how you do this I have no Idea, I just pray, put it on me, FATHER she is blameless how you gave her to me. 

      + and this seems to be working, though I slip often in angers, but I in heart am there, and if I must go to hell for her, in her stead, then so be it, as long as my wife, the mother to my son does not have too. And that is what Christ does for us, thus we are to pick up the cross and follow HIM. 

       

    • ALL MEN

      IF I BE LIFTED UP I SHALL DRAW ALL MEN TO ME. 

      THAT THE DAUGHTER IS BY THE OATH, THUS IT IS SCRIBED IN THE BOOK, 

      WHO IS JUST AND RIGHTEOUS IS THE FATHER OF ABUNDANCE, (PROVIDER OF ALL THINGS) 

      + That daughter by which you take the oath, is already counted in the congregation, and thus you taking oath to her, is scribed in the book,

      +  David said unto them when they relayed all the words of Saul the king about his Daughter Michelle, and David liked to hear it. And David said, do you think it a light matter to be the son in law to the king. AKA.  Do you take think it not a heavy matter to take the hand of the daughter of the king. 

      aka Psalms 45, aka your are to be her LORD, so then you are to cover her, so then you are to be THE FATHER before you are to be the husband, for you received her form THE ONE FATHER. 

      +  now then is not THE FATHER THE ONLY GOOD, 

      + IS NOT LOVE ALL GOOD. 

      + IS NOT ADAM BROUGHT LAST AFTER CREATION AS HEAD AND CROWN OVER CREATION BY AND TOO GOD. 

      + IS NOT THE WOMAN BROUGHT LAST AS A CROWNING GIFT. 

      + THEN DOES NOT we that being evil know how to give good gifts, not in any wise compare to HIM THAT IS + ABOVE THE ONLY GOOD KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS. 

      + IS NOT THE WIFE A HELP MEAT, 

      + IS SHE NOT A MEAT TO EAT THAT THEY ALL KNOW NOT OF. 

      + IS NOT THE MARRIAGE BED UN-DEFILABLE, FOR THE FATHER KEEPS THE COVENANT. 

       

       

       

       

      AND WATCHFULNESS ALSO AS HE SHINES BRIGHTER TO ENLIGHTEN THEM PRONOUNCED BY HIM, 

      + a watchfulness, that is the kingdom of heaven is taken by force and by violence and men to press into it, that is your wife and your kids.

      + But if the strong man knew which hour the thief would come, he would have manned the brogans and guarded his house. 

       

       

       

       

      WATCHFULNESS 

      + watchmen, watchmen, what of the day, has it come? No says the watchmen, but it shall rise, come and seek you again. “Watchmen watchmen has the day risen, is it the light of THE LORD? “No, not yet, but it surely rises, come you again and seek you again, for it shall surely rise, and the day, the light of THE LORD shall come.” 

       

      + They must first bind the strong man before they can rob his house. 

       

      + They usurp the husbandman for the refusal of the righteous son is the refusal of the righteous father. 

      if the builds the house, but THE LORD is not in it, then he builds in vain. If the watchman guards the city, but THE + LORD is not in it, then he watches in vain. 

      + Let every man examine his own works, for they shall be tried by fire. 

      + THE LORD is a consuming fire, and it is a fearful thing to be in THE HANDS OF A LIVING GOD. 

      + Give your enemy water to drink, food to eat, and in this you shall cast coals of fire upon his head. (Thus you shall enlighten him).

      + The wise and the ignorant, THE LORD has them both. 

      + You should not rejoice that demons and unclean spirits are subject to thee, but that your names are written in the book of life in HEAVEN. 

      AND WATCHFULNESS ALSO AS HE SHINES BRIGHTER TO ENLIGHTEN THEM PRONOUNCED BY HIM,  

      AS A CHIEF RULER ABOUT THEM ANNOINTED. 

      + And THE LORD said to Gideon you still have too many, so I want you to take them to the waters, and drink, and every man that shall fall down lapping as a dog thirsty count out, but he that laps as a dog from his hands, while keeping watchful eye over his brothers I want you to count, and that shall be who I will get MY GLORY through. 

       + so Gideon took the 10,000 mean and went to the river waters, and there he counted out 300 men, for THE LORD, to face the Midianite army that was more numerable than the sand on the sea shore for number, they could not even be counted. 

       

       

       

      2- HOW THIS CAN GO BAD REAL BAD. 

      + GOD THE FATHER WAS OVER ALL, ( LIKE LABEN OVER TOOK JACOB) AND ALL THEM THAT WERE TO BE IN STEAD OF GOD, WERE RAISED UP AND KNOWN BY GOD, AND THEY GAURDED OVER EVEN THE GUARDS AND WERE MESEENGERS OVER THE MESSENGERS., 

      + SHE KNEW MY LORD EXALTED, WAS OVER THE TRIBUTE, 

      + AND JEHOVAH JUDGED THE SONS OF THE BROTHERS THAT WERE BEGOTTEN, AND THIS IS THE RECORD, 

      + THAT THE DAUGHTER IS BY THE OATH, THUS IT IS SCRIBED IN THE BOOK, 

      + WHO IS JUST AND RIGHTEOUS IS THE FATHER OF ABUNDANCE, (PROVIDER OF ALL THINGS)

    • The EPHOD The heart of the matter.

      Exodus 15:1-18   (KJVA)

      1  Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

      NOTE: 

      Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, 

      *       Indeed to Moses the children of Israel, they are but children to him. The children of Israel by the way, are the women and the children. The People are the men, the women, the children. Israel is the elders, who know the covenant, and the Jacob is them to be reborn Israel, but until they are reborn Israel, they are Esau, un-reborn. GOD not liking to speak in such ways, tells it as under their mother's in her authority, aka the children. This is also why you see the horse, and the rider. They are one and the same. GOD is not going to kill a horse, for being trained, read Job. No he is talking men, that are beast, one only need see Jezebel's blood land. The horse is the man, thinks like a beast, the rider, is his captain. Like to Elijah's 153 (3 Captains and 3 sets of 50 troops), the 50 men would be like to the beast, and the captain would be to his rider. But he that makes the idol to be obeyed is as dumb as he that obeys the idol, thus then the captain is road in on the same, as his troop, and each one of them, that do not the higher choice. Heaven''s choice is always the higher choice, the higher intellect, thus then the best, wise, and GODLY choice, (known also as the Ephod, "they say ins't around anymore, but it is, as i just demonstraed. Find the cause of the widows, of the orphans, the dumb at the gate, you find the Ephod, that is the righteous answer, for GOD shall judge right, GOD shall do right; make every move here and you will know what THE LORD will back you in, and what he will not. (One only need to see David gets good answer from Ephod, that is THE LORD, that is the heart, of the matter. , save for when it comes to the city or him, and there being women and childrein in the city, they would deliver him, and THE LORD says nothing to the saving, but to the fleeing does David go. Thus then the Ephod is proven here. 

      *        To sing to THE LORD is a strange thing to be doing, while he is waging war, and triumphing, unless you realize why they are singing, they are the mother and the kids, there is no men to save the mother's with her authority over the sons, and as they swear falsely going to work to turn stones into bread, only to make towers to throw their wife down from, THE LORD GOD interveines, and thus triumphs over them. Well for men, they would rant, maybe chant, cheer, but to sing, is to have the mother with kids. 

      *          The horse and rider is the Pale horse ignorant young green horns; young liars. The Red horse is them that are drinking the women like wine, as she pours out. The Black horse is them that were selling the word, that is wise enough to be sorrowful, but chose to sell the truth, thinking GOD's truth a cheap price, it is not. 

      *      Throne into the sea, is thrown into the mothers, but the other side of them, that is where there is no sea, as it dries up, as you approach the new Jerusalem. They are thrown into then as we would know it, The dark surface of the deep waters, the abyss, the darkness, the void, that is the HOLY SPIRIT, the women, the heaven. This is proven when Jesus Christ is facing his mother, and Mary Magdalene the Disciple that Jesus loved. (Gospel of Phillip, and My book prove this).

      Sira 6:6 Let those who are friendly to you be many,
          but one in a thousand your confidant.

      Ecc 1 in a 1,000 men i find that are faithful, amongst women i found none. 

      NOTE: that is because we do NOT look for faithful men amongst women.

      Jesus; I shall choose you 1 out of a thousand, and 2 out of ten thousand. 

       

      NOTE: do you know a thousand men? by Name? personally? then you see, it is THE LORD that you shall find your confidant in.


      Sira 6:7 When you gain friends, gain them through testing,
          and do not be quick to trust them.

      NOTE: Means do not count them a friend until they suffer for righteousness sake, holding true, repenting too, aka the command, fidelity, faithful, for here they have overcome sin, 

       

      1Peter 3:18
      For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:


      Sira 6:8 For there are friends when it suits them,
          but they will not be around in time of trouble.

       

      Paul's ; they are only affectionate to you, so that you are effectionate to them, but they would exclude you..." 

       

      Gain sayers, 


      Sir 6:9 Another is a friend who turns into an enemy,
          and tells of the quarrel to your disgrace.




       

      One that you make an enemy, you keep them a friend, be you faithful. Thus is the verse certain on your disgrace. See you, keep that wicked imagination at bay. if they hurt you or said it something, to hurt you, then maybe it is they will not anymore, but often it is a slander,  not even so. 

       

      & I will not be ashamed to defend a friend. And if it is loyalty that you are looking for, you must be that loyal one first, if not how do you expect them to supersede you, for you are the one that is to GOD. 


      10 Others are friends, table companions,
          but they cannot be found in time of affliction.
       
      11 When things go well, they are your other self,
          and lord it over your servants.
       
       
      12 If disaster comes upon you, they turn against you
          and hide themselves.
       

      13 Stay away from your enemies,
          and be on guard with your friends.
       
      14 Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter;
          whoever finds one finds a treasure.
       
      15 Faithful friends are beyond price,
          no amount can balance their worth.
       
      16 Faithful friends are life-saving medicine;
          those who fear God will find them.
       
      17 Those who fear the Lord enjoy stable friendship,
          for as they are, so will their neighbors be.

      18 My child, from your youth choose discipline;
          and when you have gray hair you will find wisdom.
      19 As though plowing and sowing, draw close to her;
          then wait for her bountiful crops.
      For in cultivating her you will work but little,
          and soon you will eat her fruit.

      22 For discipline[d] is like her name,
          she is not accessible to many.

          and your neck under her yoke.
      25 Bend your shoulders and carry her
          and do not be irked at her bonds.

      26 With all your soul draw close to her;
          and with all your strength keep her ways.
      27 Inquire and search, seek and find;
          when you get hold of her, do not let her go.
      28 Thus at last you will find rest in her,
          and she will become your joy.

      BEN SIRA 6

      29 Her fetters will be a place of strength;
          her snare, a robe of spun gold.
      30 Her yoke will be a gold ornament;
          her bonds, a purple cord.
      31 You will wear her as a robe of glory,
          and bear her as a splendid crown.

      32 If you wish, my son, you can be wise;
          if you apply yourself, you can be shrewd.
      33 If you are willing to listen, you can learn;
          if you pay attention, you can be instructed.

      34 Stand in the company of the elders;
          stay close to whoever is wise.
      35 Be eager to hear every discourse;
          let no insightful saying escape you.
      36 If you see the intelligent, seek them out;
          let your feet wear away their doorsteps!

      BEN SIRA 6

      37 Reflect on the law of the Most High,
          and let his commandments be your constant study.
      Then he will enlighten your mind,
          and make you wise as you desire.

      6 Let those who are friendly to you be many,
          but one in a thousand your confidant.
      7 When you gain friends, gain them through testing,
          and do not be quick to trust them.
      8 For there are friends when it suits them,
          but they will not be around in time of trouble.

      BEN SIRA 6

      13 Stay away from your enemies,
          and be on guard with your friends.

      BEN SIRA 6

      14 Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter;
          whoever finds one finds a treasure.
      15 Faithful friends are beyond price,
          no amount can balance their worth.
      16 Faithful friends are life-saving medicine;
          those who fear God will find them.
      17 Those who fear the Lord enjoy stable friendship,
          for as they are, so will their neighbors be.
