בא - Has Come
Blast the trumpet in Inner Monument ("Zion"), and raise up a shout in the mountain of holy ones, they are trembling, all those who are inhabiting the Earth, for he has come, a day of He Is, for it is close by!1 A day of a dark one and an obscurity, a day of a cloud and a gloom like the dawn he has spread out against the Mountains an abounding and powerful people,there has not been any like himself from out of the Eternal One, and behind himself he is not adding until a double revolution of time, and a revolution of time!A fire from above vs. a flame from below
In front of the faces of himself is a fire, she who consumes and behind himself the flame is blazing up! Like a protected garden of Delight is the Earth in front of the faces of himself and behind himself is a place of words of a desolation/wasteland! and even she has not become an escaped survivor to himself!Like the sight of horses, the appearance of himself and like horse riders rightly are their inner selves running!
Like a voice of chariots against the heads of the Mountains, their inner selves are dancing! Like the voice a blade of fire is she who consumes the straw! Like a powerful people is he who is arranged/set in order for a war! From in front of the faces of himself peoples are whirling around, all the faces have gathered together, beautified in splendor! Like mighty warriors their inner selves are running, like men of war they are climbing up a wall and their inner selves are walking, each man within the roads of himself, and their inner selves are not pledging the well-worn paths of themselves!
שלח - hurled projectile, missile
And their inner selves are not pressing/thrusting, each man the brother of himself, he has become mighty within the highway of himself! their inner selves are walking and though they fall by the Missile, they are not cut off. Within the City they are coursing to and fro, within the Wall their inner selves run they are climbing up within the houses through the Apertures. They are coming as the Thief!אספו - the stars take their brightness back
In front of the faces of himself she has become perturbed/disquieted, an earth, dual heavenly ones, they have quaked, a sun, a moon, they have become murky, and the stars, they have gathered in the brilliancy of themselves.חיל - Outer bulwark, Perimeter defense
And He Is has given the voice of himself, in front of the faces of the fortified perimeter of himself, for the encampment of himself is exceedingly abundant for he has made powerful the word of himself, for mega is the day of He Is and he who is feared greatly! And who is prevailing against us?2Because you are in front of him
And even , a whisper of He Is, turn back around until myself, within the whole heart/inner man of yourselves, and within a fast and within a weeping and within a lament! And tear the heart of yourselves and not the clothing of yourselves! and turn back around toward He Is mighty ones of yourselves for a gracious one, and he who is compassionate is Himself, long suffering, and a multiplying kindness and he has consoled/relented on account of the Shepherdess!3Who is he who sees? He is turning back around and he has consoled/relentedand he caused to remain behind himself a blessing, a gift-offering, and a poured-offering to He Is mighty ones of yourselves!
Blast a trumpet within Inner Monument, consecrate a fast, summon a closed assembly! Gather the people, consecrate a convocation, gather together the elders, gather the infants, those who suck dual breasts, a bridegroom is going out from out of a chamber of himself,a bride from out of a veil!
Out of the chamber,
out from behind the veil
out from behind the veil
Place of Zechariah's Blood
In between the Porch and to the place of sacrifice the Priests they are weeping, those who minister He Is and they are saying "Have pity He Is upon the people of yourself! Do not give the inheritance of yourself to a public humiliation/reproach, the nations to rule in themselves! Why are they saying within the peoples, Where is the mighty ones of themselves? And he is jealous, He Is, for the earth of himself and he is having pity upon the people of himself.Satiated with his את
And he is eyeing, He Is, and he is saying to the people of himself, Behold myself! he who has sent to yourselves the self eternal Grain, and the New Wine, and the Glistening Oil! And you have been satiated with his eternal self, and I am not giving your eternal selves going around again a public humiliation within the Nations!A Sea Serpent
And the self eternal Stored Up One4 I am distancing far from upon yourselves, and I am forcing him toward an earth of dryness and desolation, the self eternal faces of himself toward the Sea, the Frontward One, and the termination of himself toward the Sea, the Hinder One, and he climbed up, a cistern-stench, and she is climbing up, a putrid smell, for he has greatly magnified to make.
tail | head
Do not fear Ground of Adam ("Adamah")! Spin around and cheer up, for he has greatly magnified, He Is, to make! Do not fear beasts of the Almighty/Destroyers, for meadow pastures of the word-wilderness have sprouted, for a tree has carried the fruit of himself, a fig tree and a vine have given an able force of themselves!
And the sons of Inner Monument ("Zion"), spin around and cheer up within He Is mighty ones of yourselves, for he has given to yourselves the self eternal Archer for the Justice,5 and he is bringing down for yourselves a rain shower of an archer, and the latter-spring rain within the first one!

And I have given miracles within the Dual Heavenly Ones, and within the Earth blood and fire and palm columns of smoke!
A date palm does not grow by adding new layers to the outside like most trees. Instead, she elongates from a single growing point (the apical meristem) at the top of the trunk.This upward, segmented growth made palms ideal symbols for verticality and steady ascent. In Hebrew, תימרה (from תמר Tamar) borrows that columnar and stage-like form to describe tall, rising structures — like smoke that appears to grow “upwards in segments” as it billows.
