And measures and matters of The Truth of the "time" we are in ...how "man" ..."thought to change time and times ... Dearly beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, how that one day is with the Lord, as a thousand year, and a thousand year as one day.
The Lord is not slack to fulfil his promise, as some men count slackness: but is patient to us ward, and would have no man lost, but would receive all men to repentance.
creteis@yahoo.com Behold in a nightmare of the dark season ...of the times and time ..of the season of man ...see son of man ...
and i was taken and shown from above ...a town ...a place ...Devastated ...
and the place was all darkness and ruin ...
and the people were stunned ...fallen down upon themselves ...
even fallen upon each other ...together ...all shocked ...of what happened ...
and all of all asked what happened ...
and the rich fell and the poor and the working were out of jobs ...
even the police and public workers lay idle ...
and the jails were unattended ...
and prisoners found themselves on the street ...
and they like everyone else had nothing ...
and the entire system ...that everyone had lived under ...had been destroyed ...
even everything they believed in and of the world ...mattered nothing ...
even as though a mighty economic sword ...slashed the place ...gutted it ...
and every mans house was devastated ...
and every mans job was devastated ...
and every mans business was devastated ...
and banks were devastated ...
and all public works and appointments and positions were devastated ...
and there was nothing worth ...nothing paid ...nothing worked for or at ...
and no job was left undone ...
and again all sat stunned ...utterly devastated ...wiped out ...
again even as though a mighty economic sword ...slashed the place ...gutted it ...flayed it out ...
even like an economic war had ravaged the place ...
and i was shown a man ...who was trying to rebuild his own stairs ...up ...up ...up to where he lived ...
even the stairs to his house ...
and the stairs were all rotten and crooked uneven and falling down ...
and the man weakly tried to pound rusty nails into decaying wood ...
and tried to fix the way up to his house ...
and he scrounged small pieces of newer wood ...
and weakly tried pound them into the stairs ...
yet the stairs and the way to the mans house ...was still a waste ...
and his effort wasted ...
and the people layed in heaps wasted stunned ...devastated ...
and they could do nothing about it ...
and i looked all roundabout in the darkness and waste of the place ...
and again i was only shown a place ...
and i know not if it was a just a town ...a county ...or a country ...
Yet it was of ...the land of the eagle ...
and i looked afar off to see what season it might be ...
evenso a pagan name of a month was given me ...november ...
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
Behold, the Lords hand is not so shortened that it cannot help, neither is his ear so stopped that it may not hear. But your misdeeds have separated you from your God, and your sins hide his face from you, that he heareth you not. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with unrighteousness: Your lips speak leasings, and your tongue setteth out wickedness. No man regardeth righteousness, and no man judgeth truly. Every man hopeth in vain things, and imagineth deceit, conceiveth weariness, and bringeth forth evil. They breed cockatrice eggs, and weave the spiders web. Whoso eateth of their eggs dieth. But if one treadeth upon them. there cometh up a serpent. Their web maketh no cloth and they may not cover themselves with their labors. Their deeds are the deeds of wickedness, and the work of robbery is in their hands. Their feet run to evil, and they make hast to shed innocent blood. Their counsels are wicked counsels, harm and destruction are in their ways. But the way of peace they know not. In their goings is there no equity, their ways are so *crocked that whosoever goeth therin, knoweth nothing of peace.
And this is the cause that equity is so far from us, and the righteousness cometh not nye us. We look for light, lo, it is darkness: for the morning shine, see, we walk in the dark. We grope like the blind upon the wall, we grope even as one that hath none eyes. We stumble at the noon day, as though it were toward night: in the falling places, like men that are half dead. We roar all like Bears, and mourn still like doves. We look for equity, but there is none: for health, but it is far from us. For our offenses are many before thee, and our sins testify against us. Yee we must confess that we offend, and knowledge that we do amiss: Namely transgress and disassemble against the Lord, and fall away from our God: using presumptuous and traitorous imaginations, and casting false matters in our hearts. And therefore is equity gone aside, and righteousness standeth far off: truth is fallen down in the street, and the thing that is plain and open, may not be showed. Yee the truth is laid in prison, and he that refraineth him self from evil, must be spoiled.
When the Lord saw this, it displeased him sore, that there was no where any equity. He saw also, that there was no man, which had pity thereof, or was grieved at it. And he held him by his own power, and cleaved to his own righteousness. He put righteousness upon him for a breast plate, and a fiery helmet of health upon his head. He put on wrath in stead of clothing, and took jealousy about him for a cloak: ( like as when a man goeth forth wrothfully to recompense his enemies, and to be avenged of his adversaries. ) Namely, that he might recompense and reward the Islands where through the name of the Lord might be feared, from the rising Sun: and his majesty, unto the going down of the same.
For he shall come as a violent water stream, which the wind of the Lord hath moved. But unto Sion there shall come a redeemer, and unto them in Jacob that turn from wickedness, sayeth the Lord. I will make this covenant with them, ( saith the Lord): My spirit that is come upon thee, and the words which I have put in thy mouth, shall never go out of thy mouth, nor out the mouth of thy childrens children, from this time forth for evermore*crocked (crooked or a crock of ; like unto a bedroom chamber pot )
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 18
And the kings of the earth shall beweep her and wail over her, which have committed fornication with her, and have lived wantonly with her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, and shall stand afar off, for fear of her punishment, saying . Alas, Alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city: for at one hour is her judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and wail in themselves, for no man will buy their ware any more, the ware of gold and silver, and precious stones, neither of pearl, and raynes and purple, and scarlet, and all thine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass and of iron, and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.
And the apples that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee. And all things which were dainty, and had in price are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more. The merchants of these things which were waxed rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear of the punishment of her, weeping and wailing, and saying: Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stone, and pearls: for at one hour so great riches is come to nought.
