God's Truth: Ephesians...

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.

Behold relief from the 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 ...a blank frame ...

even like a window ...

and the window looked out onto forever ...

yet there was nothing seen in the window ...of the flesh ...

and only in the spirit and truth was anything shown ...

namely all things true and of worth in love ...were shown ...

and shown eve as a cloud ...

and i asked without speaking of the seeing ...without eyes of flesh ...

and what of this window ...

and was given me without speaking ..."Ephesians" ...

and no more ...nor no less ...

and so i went to Ephesians ...

and Behold the first paragraph ...what comfort therein is ...

and more of the first ...first Chapter ...more ...

Ephesians

Paul an apostle of *Jesu Christ, by the will of God.
      To the saints, which are at Ephesus, and to them which believe on Jesus Christ.
      Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
      Blessed be God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which hath blessed us with all manner of spiritual blessings in heavenly things by Christ, according as he had chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world was laid, that we should be saints, and without blame before him, through love. And ordained us before through Jesus Christ to be heirs unto him self, according to the pleasure of his will to the praise of the glory of his grace where with he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
      By whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace, which grace he shed on us abundantly in all wisdom, and *prudence. And hath opened unto us the mystery of his will according to his pleasure, and purposed the same in him self, to have it declared when the time were full come, that all things, both the things which are in heaven, and also the things which are in earth, should be gathered together, even in Christ: that is to say, in him in whom we are made heirs, and were thereto *predestinate according to the purpose of him which worketh all things after the purpose of his own will: that we which before believed in Christ should be unto the praise of his glory.
      In whom also ye (after that ye heard the word of truth, I mean the Gospell of your salvation, wherein ye believed) were sealed with the holy spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance, to redeem the purchased possession, and that unto the *laud of his glory.
      Wherefore even I (after that I heard of the faith which ye have in the Lord Jesu, and love unto all the saints) cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ and the father of glory, might give unto you the spirit of wisdom, and open to you the knowledge of himself, and lighten the eyes of your minds that ye might know what that hope is, where unto he hath called you, and what the riches of his glorious inheritance is upon the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward which believe according to the working of that his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him on his right hand in heavenly things, above all rule, power, and might and domination, and above all names that are named, not in this world only, but also in the world to come: and hath put all things under his feet, and hath made him above all things, the head of the congregation which is his body and the fullness of him that filleth all in all things.

Jesu: Hebrew for Jesus. *prudence (rightfull care). *predestinate: to have determined before or in advance. *laud (praise, honor)

and the more or the last to the Ephesians ...

THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN THE DIVINE Chpt 1

I John your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience which is in *Jesu Christ, was in the isle of Pathmos for the word of God, and for the witnessing of Jesu Christ. I was in the spirit on a *sonday, and heard behind me a great voice, as it had been of a trumpet saying: I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. That, that thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the congregations which are in Asia, unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thiatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicia.

THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN THE DIVINE Chpt 2

Unto the messenger of the congregation of Ephesus write: These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, and walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks. I know thy works, and the labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not forbear them which are evil: and examinedst them which say they are Apostles, and are not: and hast found them liars and didst wash thy self. And hast patience: and for my names sake hast laboured and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, for thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works. Or else I will come unto thee shortly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast because thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which deeds I also hate. Let him that hath ears hear, what the spirit saith unto the congregations. To him that overcometh, will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.
