Jerusalem’s Deliverance Foretold
1. But, Hezekiah (“One who Jehovah embraces”)
, was so anguished (agonized; tormented) that he ripped (tore-apart) his robe in shame, anger, and mourning, and put on “Sak” *(sackcloth; a public expression of mourning) because of the calamity posed (presented) by what Salt Lake’s Chief Field Commanders (Bishoprics; regional and local priesthood authorities) were saying. By doing this, Hezekiah (“One who is embraced by God”) led (inspired; motivated) other Israelites (rank and file Mormons) to do the same thing.
.
* “Sak” sackcloth-The term originally denoting a coarsely woven fabric, usually made of goat’s hair. It afterward came to mean also a garment made from such cloth, which was chiefly worn as a token of mourning by the Israelites. It was furthermore a sign of submission and was occasionally worn by the
Prophets. As the Old Testament gives no exact description of the garment, its shape must be a matter of conjecture.
********************
According to Kamphausen, the “saḳ” was like a corn-bag with an opening for the head, and another for each arm, an opening is made in the garment from top to bottom. Grüneisen (“Ahnenkultus,” p. 80) thinks the “Sak” (garment) resembled the hairy (difficult to bear) mantle (robe; duty; assignment; sleeveless outer coat) worn by the Bedouins.
Schwally (in Stade’s “Zeitschrift,” xi. 174) concludes that it originally was simply the loin-cloth, which is an entirely different conception from that of Kamphausen or of Grüneisen. Schwally bases his opinion on the fact that the word “ḥagar” (Hebrew verb: to gird; to be afraid; to be restrained on all sides) is used in describing the mode of putting on the garment. One fastens the “Sak” around the hips.
It was likely worn immediately next to the skin, like an undergarment, so as to become a personal, and annoyingly scratchy (itchy; uncomfortable; irritating) reminder of grief over the loss of something that was held precious.

2. Now,………the mind Hezekiah (“Embraced by Jehovah”) also moved (inspired strong feelings within) Eliakim (“One who has been set-upright and established by Jehovah”) so much so that Eliakim recognized an urgent need for the following……….
(a.) More Guidance (leadership determined to resolve a problem) concerning Israel’s “House (dynasty; line of hereditary rulers; family; bloodline).
(b.) More Education (tutelage) for Shebna (Israel’s youth; Israel’s upcoming generation of people; Israel’s new growth) because they, more than all others, have a vested (intrinsic; inherent) interest in pointing (directing) people’s attention to “The Book of Isaiah”.
(c.) More Retrospection (a look back on; a remembrance of; a review of ) the words of Israel’s Elders (patriarchs; “founding fathers”), whose moral-authority (authority premised on principles and fundamental truths) has been palled (eclipsed; overshadowed; obscured), for a long time, by “Sak” (sackcloth; a public expression of grief 
and mourning), just as Isaiah (“Deliverance thru Jehovah”) has predicted. And……….
(d.) “More cowbell” (SNL Comedy Sketch Apr. 2000)

3. 
They told Me (Isaiah), the son of Amotz, “This is what Hezekiah says: “This day is a day of distress and rebuke as when children come to the point (verge; moment) of birth, but the mother hasn’t the strength to deliver the child.
.
.
.
.
.
.
4. Do you really believe that your (Israel’s) God listens to the words of the very same Field Commanders (Bishops and presiding Priesthood leaders) who’ve been trained (disciplined; prepared; tutored) to mock (ridicule; mock; circumvent; thwart; mimic; make fun of) “The Living God”. 
You’d be right to assume that he (Jehovah) is more likely to rebuke the Field Commanders (Bishops; Salt Lake’s locally and regional-presiding priesthood leaders) for the mockery of the Lord, your God, that has been heard coming from the mouths of Field Commanders (Bishops) mouths to the ears of Israel’s people. Therefore, pray for the remnant (rest; remainder; remains; residue) of Israel’s people that still survives.
.
.
.
5. 
Then, Isaiah said to King Hezekiah’s officials “This is what the Lord says, “Don’t be afraid of what you’ve heard…in particular….. “don’t be afraid of the words spoken by the underlings (slaves; minions; flunkies; subordinates) of the King of Assyria (“guaranteed social and financial success thru unwavering alligence to Salt Lake’s Melchizedek Priesthood Organization”).
.
.
.
.
6.
They are deliberately blaspheming (speaking disrespectfully about) holy-people and holy-things which are loved by me (Jehovah).
.
.
.
.
.
.
7. 
Watch me (pay close attention), while I (Jehovah) put-in (place-in; influence; affect; “act on”; infect) them with a spirit (character; prevailing tendency; motivating force; soul; psche) that will cause them to turn around (reverse direction) and go back (return) to their native land (society; territory; “Salt Lake Valley”) and there (in the Salt Lake Valley) they will be cut-down (coverted; overcome; slain) by the Sword (“truth”).
.
.
.
7. 
Listen! …..I am going to put a spirit into Salt Lake’s Field Commanders (Bishops; local priesthood Authorities), so that when they hear a certain (unquestionable; reliable sure) report, they will turn around (change their minds) and go right back to doing what they’ve always done and what they love and do best. There, in his own land, I Jehovah will make absolutely sure that he’s cut-down (slain; slaughtered) by The-Sword (“the truth”)
.
.

8. 
When Salt Lake’s Field Commanders (Bishops; Presiding Priesthood Leaders) hear that the King of Assyria had let go of (relinquished; given-up; recalled; walked away from; forsaken; abandoned) Lachish (“his-obstinance; “his-pride”) .
He (the King of Assyria) seemed (created the impression) that he was preparing to withdraw (retreat; leave; evacuate; quit), but he (the King of Assyria) was soon thereafter was caught fighting Libnah (whiteness; transparency; honesty; openness; clearness; clarity).
.
.
.
.
9. 
Suddenly, Sennacherib (the King of Assyia) received a-report (news; word; a rumor; information that is unsupported by firm evidence) that “Tirhakah” (“a Cushite”; “One who has no moral conscience”) was, at that very moment marching-out against him (Sennacherib; the king of Assyria) .
.
.
.
.
.
10. 
When He ( the king of Assyria) heard this news, He sent messengers to Hezekiah (“one who is embraced by Jehovah”) in order to undermine (subvert; weaken; compromise) him…..
“Do not let the God of Israe l(Jehovah) fool you by telling you………
“Jerusalem will/can never be handed-over to the King Of Assyria”.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
11.
“Surely, you (Hezekiah) have heard rumors about what the Kings (Monarchs; crowned-heads; ruling-class) of Assyria have done to every country that tries to resist them.”……..They’ve completely destroyed them.
So…you think that somehow you’ll be delivered…do you?
.
.
.
12. 
Did the gods, (idols; mighty-men; icons; celebrities; heroes), who were worshipped (revered; deified) by former (by-gone; past) nations that were destroyed (devastated) by our (Salt Lake’s) pioneer ancestors, deliver them?
You know who I’m talking about……… the Gods of Gozan (“cutting-off-authority”) ; the Gods of Haran (“smoldering rage”) ; the Gods of Rezeph (“arranging the stones into pavement to be walked upon”) by egotistical (self-centered) people who want (seek for) the Eden (pleasure; joie de vivre; luxury; titillation; arousal of excitement) associated with (that accompanies) “Tel-Assar”(“a whole lot of “social-popularity” and “financial-prosperity” promised by Salt Lake’s priesthood leadership”).
.
.
13. 
Where is (what happened to) the moral courage (sense of what’s right and wrong) of The King (supreme ruler; undisputed reign) of Salt Lake’s Hamath (“Wall” of prejudice and superiority) and what happened to the conscience (still small voice) that is supposed (thought; believed) to lead (guide) Salt Lake’s Arpad (props; supporters; “rabid-fans”), and what about the King (supreme law) of the City of Sepharvaim (celebrities who perpeptuate the illusion that they’re somehow immune to the “Punishment of God”) linked to the King (undisputed reign; unquestioned rule) by “Hena” (their “busted” selves) coupled with the King (undisputed reign; unquestioned-sovereignty) of “crookedness” (iniquity; perversity).
.
.
.
14. 
Hezekiah received the message from Salt Lake’s envoys (missionaries; ambassadors) and read (digested; internalized) it.
Then, he went up (prepared himself to approach) the temple (house; family; lineage) of “The-Lord” (Jehovah; Israel’s God). There, he (Hezekiah) spread (set-forth; laid-out; presented; shared) everything before “The-Lord” (Jehovah) saying, “Look at this!”.
.
.
.
.
.
15. 
Immediately, Hezekiah (“The one who God Embraces”) prayed unto “The lord” (Jehovah; Israel’s God) and said, “Oh, Lord, the Almighty God of Israel, who is enthroned between (surrounded by) His “Cherubim” (angels, saints, holy-ones who have a celestial nature).
.
.
.
16. “You (Jehovah) are “the-one-and-only” God who presides over all the kingdoms 
of the Earth. You (Jehovah) have made (created; generated) “The Heavens” (those with whom God and His Holy-Spirit dwells) as well as those who are bound (tied; resticted; limited) to “The Earth” (“Our temporary sphere of existence where mankind has sufficient time and opportunity to transform “natural inclinations”, i.e. “personal-habits into permanent, unchangeable patterns of behavior, i. e. “instinctive-behavior”; “innate behavior”).
.
.
.
.
17. 
“Give ear, O Lord, and hear (listen; pay close attention)
Open your eyes, O Lord, and Behold
Listen to the words that Sennachrib is saying…….. to insult to you, (“The-Living-God”).
.
.
.
.
.
.
18. 
It is true, Oh Lord, that Salt Lake’s kings (potentates; autocrates; sovereigns; despots) of the notion of Assyria (“Guaranteed social popularity coupled with financial prosperity thru unwavering loyalty to the Melchizedek Priesthood Organization”) have laid waste to every population that they’ve encountered in addition to devastating their lands (societies).
.
.
.
.
19. 
They (Assyria’s Leaders) are also responsible for tossing (throwing; heaving) into the fire, Gods (deities; “supreme beings; Heavenly beings”) to whom generations of people have turned (used; addressed; appealed) for safety and security.
Assyria’s leadership has “single-handedly” (without help from anyone else) killed (emasculated; neutralized; eliminated; abolished; done-away-with; banished; gotten-rid-of) them all.
.
.
.
.
.
20. 
Now….O Lord, our God, deliver us (thy people) from the hand (power; possession) of the dreadful (unrestrained; outrageous) administration (management; authority; regime; ministry) of Assyria, so that Israel’s people, who are curretly in Mormonism’s midst, may go forth, so that they may witness to all kingdoms of the Earth that you (Jehovah), alone (exclusively) are the God of this world.

Sennacherib’s Fall
.
21.
Then, the Prophet, Isaiah, who inherited “Alertness” (vigilance; steadfastness of mind; Strength and Good Courage”) from his noble (aristocratic; honorable; virtuous; righteous) Israelite forefathers, sent a message to Hezekiah (King of Judah; “One who embraces Jehovah”)
This what “The-Lord”, (Jehovah), the God of Israel, says…….
“Because you have prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib (“a-menacing-thorn”; a-big-fat-“prick”) who constantly brags to the people of the world, that he is the “King Of Assyria” He really gets a kick out of Gaslighting * (manipulating) people.
* Gaslighting means: manipulating people thru psychological means by even calling into question their sanity.
.
.
22. 
This is the Word (verdict; judicial decision) that God (Jehovah) has pronounced against Sennacherib (Salt Lake’s annoying “pricks”)
“The Virgin (hidden; obscured; consecrated) daughters (“Apples of Jehovah’s Eye”; Jehovah’s cherished-ones) of Zion (Jehovah’s Millenial Kingdom) utterly despise (feel contempt for) you and they’re getting ready to throw the book at (put the screws to; condemn; imprison; impugn; convict) you (Salt Lake General Authorities).
The 
daughters (“God’s cherished ones”) living in accordance with Jerusalem (“the world’s greatest teacher of Peace and Salvation”) have angrily tossed their heads at you in contempt and left (disregarded you; entirely dismissed you) while you (Salt Lake’s Presiding Priesthood Authorities) flee (run-away; turn tail and run; “desert the ship”).
.
.
.
23.
Just who do you (Salt Lake’s presiding priesthood authorities) think (believe; suppose; imagine) that you are insulting (treating with disrespect and scornful abuse) and blaspheming (mocking)?
Against whom do you (Salt Lake’s arrogant priesthood authorities) think you are raising your voices? Against whom do you suppose that you are lifting (exalting) yourselves and lifted your eyes in pride?
Against The Holy One Of Israel.
.
.
24. 
Thanks to your (Salt Lake’s) messengers (missionaries; ambassadors) the Lord’s face (purpose and intention) has been “slapped”(punched; insulted; assaulted) and thru your many chariots (Bishoprics; three-man assault-teams; armored-vehicles)
You’ve proclaimed,
“Behold….We (Salt Lake’s illegitimate priesthood leadership) has ascended (been elevated) to the highest place (position of leadership) among the congregations (assemblies) of Israel’s people’s …….to the very heights (zenith; apex; top-positions) of Lebanon, (prominent Mormon families) who appear-as-if (look-as-if; seem-as-if ; give the impression as-if) they are “Holier than everyone else.”
Then, as if that were not enough…..You’ve bragged (boasted)…….,
“We’ve cut down (felled; extirpated; uprooted) Israel’s tallest (loftiest; top; greatest; crowning) Cedars (family trees that are enduring and deeply rooted)”….the choicest of Israel’s Pine-trees (Cypress-trees). We’re reaching (exploiting; taking advantage of; taken possession of) Israel’s remotest (most-hidden; most obscure) heights (grandeur; dignity; prominence; rank) …Now, we (Salt Lake’s “so-called” prophets, seers, and revelators) are in complete control of Israel’s forest (plantation) of Family-trees (lineages; bloodlines; royal-dynasty; line of hereditary rulers).
.
.
.
.
25. 
We’re “digging-up (unearthing; bringing to the surface; excavating) “wells” (cisterns; depositories; repositories; reservoirs) of “water” (“Chaos”; Witchcraft; sorcery; Black-Magic”) in foreign lands, then, we’ve absorbed (appropriated; incorporated; integrated; assimilated) every last bit of the Water (“Chaos”; black-Magic; sorcery) that we encounter in those foreign lands to use against Israel’s people.
With (thanks to) the soles (lowest level; lowest ranking teenage-boys) among our footsoldiers (missionaries), The Mormon Church has single-handedly (without help from anyone else) suceeded in “drying-up” (evaporating) all the streams (continuous-flows) of “Living-Water” (the “Spirit of God”) that have been secretly (clandestinely) refreshing Israelites who are imprisoned in Mormonism’ s hidden Culture (lifestyle; customs) of Slavery (servitude and bondage).
.
.
.
.
26. 
What’s the matter with you (Salt Lake’s Melchizedek prieshood leaders)?
Haven’t you heard? Long ago, I (Jehovah) ordained all of this. In days of old (by gone days), I (Jehovah) knew this would happen, so I planned for it.
I’ve brought it to pass (facilitated its growth), so that Salt Lake’s leadership would enjoy a temporary period of success turning fortified Israelite cities (communities; settlements) into piles (heaps) stones (rubble; hardened souls; hard-hearted people).
.
.
.
.
.
27. 
Salt Lake has virtually drained the power of cities (communities; settlements) populated by Israel’s people.
Israel’s people have been “put to shame” (embarrassed) and they’ve become dismayed (disconcerted; unsettled and confused).
They are like grass in the field or like tender green sprouts growing on a rooftop. Every sprout gets scorched (burned on the surface by heat; burned; subject to fire) before it can grow to maturity.
.
.
.
.
28. 
But I (Jehovah) know precisely where you (Salt Lake priesthood leaders) live (reside; dwell) and I (Jehovah) am fully-acquanted with your comings and goings (business enterprise) and how (by what means; in what way) it rages (expresses violent uncontrollable anger) against Me (Jehovah).
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
29. 
Because You (Salt Lake’s presiding Priesthood Authorities) rage (rampage; “foam at the mouth”; rail) against Me (Jehovah), and because reports (charges; accusations) of your insolence (disrespect; abuse; presumption) have reached my ears, so…….
I am going to put my hook (ring) in the nose of every single priesthood leader under the authority of Mormon headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. You’re all a bunch of jerks!
.
.
.
.
.
30. 
This will be a sign (suggestion; indication; signal) to you…Oh Hezekiah (“One who embraces Jehovah”)
This revolution (unrest; uprising; transformation) will grow (spread; increase; expand; multiply) and bring-forth (bear; generate; cause) changes that reveal (expose; unmask; unveil; uncover) the senselessness (double-talk; silliness; mindlessness; nonsense) of Salt Lake’s oblivious (“Good for Nothing”) priesthood Authorities and as a result of this change (transformation; metamorphosis; switch; about-face; renewal), Israelites who are of noble (patrician; highborn; aristocratic; royal) high social or political) rank will sow (make fruitful) their seed and ultimately Salt Lake’s Priesthood goof-balls will gladly pick (favor; promote; choose) Israel’s fruit.
.
.
.
31. 
Once again, (Once more; As promised) a remnant (residue; rest; remains; remainder) of the house (lineage; bloodline; family; dynasty; series of hereditary rulers) of Judah (“Praise and thanksgiving”) is taking-root (being established) underground (secretly; on the QT; below the surface; underfoot) while it’s blossoming (bearing-fruit; prospering; suceeding; flourishing) “in the open” (in public-view).
.
.
.
32. 
For out-of (because of; as a result of; from) Jerusalem (“the greatest teacher of Peace and Salvation”), a remnant of Israel’s authority is bubbling-up and emerging (becoming-apparent, important, and prominent) and a band of survivors is emerging (coming into view) out-of (from; as a result of; because of) Mount (“the administration of”) Zion (Jehovah’s Millennial Kingdom).
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
33. Therefore this is what the Lord, God of Israel has to say about Salt Lake’s King (supreme-rule; undisputed-concept) of Assyria (“Guaranteed social popularity and financial prosperity thru unwavering allegiance to Salt Lake’s Melchizedek Priesthood Organization”)
The King of Assyria will not (is loathe to) enter Zion and doesn’t dare shoot an arrow (weapon) into it.
He is afraid to come anywhere near Zion, even with his shield and he hasn’t sufficient time to build a siege-ramp against us.
.
.
.
.
34. 
He and his sycophants will go back to Hell in the same way they emerged from it and will never try to enter the city of Zion.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
35. 
I (Jehovah) will defend (secure; preserve; guard; protect) the city (community; settlement) of Zion (Jehovah’s Millenial Kingdom) and….
I (Jehovah) will save (rescue; redeem; deliver) Zion…..for my own sake (cause; purpose; objective) and for the sake (well-being; welfare; advantage; benefit) of David (“My beloved ones”; My loved ones; “My family”).
.
.
.
36. 
Here’s where it gets really spooky……….. during the night, while Assyria’s soldier were otherwise sleeping (not paying attention; napping; dozing; unconcious; napping) the Lord’s “Destroying Angel) went forth and killed the entire Assyrian Camp, which numbered 185 thousand (185,000) souls.
When Sennacherib woke up in the morning, he beheld (saw; viewed) all the dead Assyrian bodies strewn (scattered) upon the land.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
37. 
So, Sennacherib, broke camp, gathered his marbles and headed to Ninevah, (where he came from) and never came back.
.
.
.
.
38. One day while Sennacherib was worshipping his Ninevite idol, Nisroch (“the great-winged-predator”) in the temple, his two sons, Adrammelech (“King with an inflated-Ego”) in cahoots with Sharezer (“Keeper of the treasury”) sneaked up upon Sennacherib and cut him down with a sword. They successfully escaped to the land of Ararat (“a bitter curse”). Sennacherib’s third son, Esar-haddon (“Harness Assyria’s agonizing grind”) succeeded him on the thone as King of Assyria.
