Message 45
"Yahweh sent a wicked mind between Abimelech ("father of reign"; thoughts leading to the minds grasp that Yahweh is King, and ones own thoughts are not!) and the men (this is the Hebrew word בעל, "baal"; master) of Shechem ("ridge, rise early"; the mind's steadfastness towards self desire)..." (Judges 9:23)
Mind control. Indeed Parcôh פרעה (par-o') ("ra - the sun"; belief in human wisdom and intellect) would not be the only mind hardened by Yahweh, and the deeper revelation for the 144,000 is the understanding of a magnanimous truth: Yahweh controls the mind of every single living soul that ever was and will be allowed! It is under such truths as this that the 144,000 have been enabled to rightly perceive that any battle (mental "engagement") within their own minds is under the watchful eye and control of Yahweh alone, and that ALL battles are induced by one's own fallen will; no "devil" required! (see "The Devil Inside" at the “Yahweh's Kingdom – A Kingdom of Thought” icon).
The 144,000 depend on a never changing Father as they risk everything on His words of truth and "Set their face (mental "countenance") like a flint ("hard, bind")!", holding fast to Him especially when the wicked winds blow within. They understand that only "tests" can prove the value of their mental metal (Numbers 31:22-23) and they look to remove all dross (mental "refuse") borne forth by a personal will opposed to Yahweh's will. They know the battle is the only thing that will remove the dross, and they learn to accept the many issues of "self" that need to die within their own mind.
