Third Book of Kings (after the Latin)
The 4th Chapter
And
so king Salomon was king over all Israel. And these were his Lords: Azariah the
son of Sadock the priest: Elihoreph and Ahiah the sons of Sisa, scribes.
Jehosaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder. And Banaiah the son of Jehoiada was
over the Host. And Sadock and Abiathar were the priests. And Azariah the son of
Nathan was over the general receivers. And Zabud the son of Nathan was a waiter
and the kings companion. And Ahisar the steward of household: And Adiran the son
of Abda over the tribute.
And Salomon had twelve general receivers
over all Israel which sustained the king and his household: each man his month
in a year. Whose names are these: The son of Hur in mount Ephraim: the son of
Dekar in Makez, in Salem in Bethsames, in Elon and in Bethhanan: the son of
Hesed in Aruboth, and to him pertained Socoh and all the land of Hepher: the son
of Abinadab, which had all the regions of Dor, and Tapheth the daughter of
Salomon was his wife: Baanah the son of Ahilud had Thanach Magedo and all
Bethsan which is by Zarhanah beneath Jezrahel, and from Bethsan to Abel Mehulah
and unto beyond Jecmaam. The son of Gaber had Ramoth Galaad, and his were the
towns of Jair the son of Manasses which lie in Galaad, and his were the coasts
of Argob in Basan, three score great cities with wall and Bars of Brass.
Abinadab the son of Ado had Mahanaim:
Ahimaaz had Nephthalim, and he had taken Basemath the daughter of Salomon to
wife: Baanah the son of Husai had Aser and Aloth: Jehosaphat the son of Pharuah
had Isachar, Semei the son of Elah had Benjamin: Gaber the son of Uri had the
country of Galaad and the land of Sehon king of the Amorites and of Og king of
Basan, and was alone receiver in the land. And Juda and Israel were many even as
the sand of the sea in number, eating, drinking, and making merry. And Salomon
reigned over all kingdoms from the river throughout all the land of the
Philistines unto the borders of Egypt, and they brought presents and served
Salomon all days of his life.
And Salomons food was in one day thirty
quarters of manchet flour and three score quarters of meal: ten stalled oxen,
and twenty out of the pastures and an hundred sheep and goats, besides harts,
bucks and buballs and fat poultry. For he ruled in all the regions on the other
side Euphrates from Thaphsah to Gaza and also over all the kings on the other
side the said Euphrates. And he had peace with all his servants on every side.
And Juda and Israel dwelt without fear, every man under his vine and under his
fig tree from Dan to Bersabe, all the days of Salomon.
And Salomon had forty thousand stalls of
horses for chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. And the foresaid general
receivers made *purveyance for king Salomon and for all that came to king
Salomons table every man his month, so that there lacked nothing. And as for
barley and straw for the horses and beasts they brought unto the places where
the officers were, every man in his office.
And God gave Salomon wisdom and
understanding exceeding much and a large heart, even as the sand along by the
sea bank: so that Salomons wisdom exceeded the wisdom of all them of the East
country and all the wisdom of the Egyptians. And he excelled all men in wisdom,
both Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol and Dorda the sons of Nahol. And his
name spread abroad among all nations on every side. And Salomon wrote three
thousand proverbs. And his songs were a thousand and five. And he disputed of
trees, even from the Cedar tree that groweth in Libanon unto the Hyssop that
springeth out of the wall. And he disputed of beasts, fowls, worms, and fishes.
And there came of all nations to hear the wisdom of Salomon, and from all kings
of the earth which had heard of his wisdom.
*purveyance: to supply with, food and other things.
The 11th Chapter
But
king Salomon loved many outlandish women: the daughter of Pharao: and of the
Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonites and Hethites, even of nations of which
the Lord said unto the children of Israel, see ye come not at them, nor let them
come to you: for surely they will turn your hearts after their Gods.
Nevertheless to such Salomon clave and fell in love with them. And he had seven
hundred very Queens and three hundred concubines which turned always his heart.
For when Salomon was old, his wives turned his heart after other Gods: so that
his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his
father.
And Salomon followed Astaroth the God of the
Zidons, and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. And Salomon wrought
wickedness in the sight of the Lord and continued not after the Lord as did
David his father. After that Salomon built an altar for Chamos the abomination
of the Moabites in the hill that standeth before Jerusalem, and unto Moloch the
abomination of the children of Ammon. And likewise did he for all his outlandish
wives which burnt cense and offered unto their Gods. Then was the Lord angry
with Salomon because his heart turned from the Lord God of Israel which appeared
unto him twice, and gave him a charge of this thing that he should not follow
other Gods. But he kept not that which the Lord commanded him: whereupon the
Lord said to Salomon: for as much as this is done of thee, and thou hast not
kept mine appointment and mine ordinances which I have commanded thee, therefore
I will rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, because of David thy father: but I
will take it from thy son. How be it I will not take away all: but will give one
tribe to thy son, because of David my servant and because of Jerusalem which I
have chosen.
Third Book of Kings (after the Latin)
And
when Salomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord and of the kings
palace, and of all that his desire and lust was to make: the Lord appeared unto
him again, as he appeared to him at Gabaon. And the Lord said unto him: I have
heard thy prayer and intercession that thou madest before me, and have hallowed
this house which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever and mine eyes
and mine heart shall be there perpetually. And if thou wilt walk before me, as
David thy father walked, in pureness of heart and plainness, to do all that I
have commanded thee, and shalt keep mine ordinances and customs: then I will
stablish the seat of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David
thy father saying: Thou shalt not be without one or other upon the seat of
Israel.
But and if ye and your children shall turn
away from after me, and shall not keep mine ordinances which I have set before
you, but shall go and serve other Gods and bow yourselves unto them: then I will
weed Israel out of the land which I have given them. And this house which I have
hallowed for my name, I will put out of my sight. And Israel shall be a proverb
and a fable unto all nations. And this house which is so high, all that pass by
it shall be astonished and shall hiss and say: why hath the Lord dealt on this
manner with this land and with this house? And it shall be answered them,
because they forsook the Lord their God which brought their fathers out of the
land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other Gods and have stooped unto him and
served them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil. Then at
the end of twenty years in which Salomon had built the two houses, that is to *wete,
the house of the Lord and the kings palace: because Hiram the king of Tyre had
supported him with Cedar, fir and gold, as much as he desired: therefore Salomon
gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. And when Hiram was come from
Tyre to see the cities which Salomon had given him, they pleased him not.
Wherefore he said: what cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother?
and he called them the land of Cabull unto this day. This Hiram had sent the
king six score hundredweight of gold. And this is the sum of the tribute, which
king Salomon raised to build the house of the Lord and his own house, and Mello
and the walls of Jerusalem, and Hezer, and Magedo, and Gazer.
For Pharao king of Egypt went up and took
Gazer and burnt it with fire, and slew the Cananites that dwelt in the city, and
gave it for a present unto his daughter that was Salomons wife. And Salomon
built Gazer and Beth Horon the nether: and Baalath and Thamar in the wilderness
that is in the land: and all the store cities that Salomon had, and cities
for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen and all that his lust was to build
in Jerusalem and Libanon and in all the land of his Kingdom.
And all the people that were left of the
Amorites, Hethites, Pherethites, Hevites and Jebusites, which were not of the
children of Israel, the children of the said nations that were left in the land,
because the children of Israel were not able to destroy them, did Salomon make
tributaries unto this day. And of the children of Israel did Salomon make no
bondmen. But they were men of war and his servants and his lords and Captains
and rulers of his chariots and of his Horsemen. And these many lords that
oversaw the work had Salomon, five hundred and fifty, which ruled the people
that wrought in the work.
And Pharaos daughter came up out of the city
of David unto the house which Salomon had built for her. And after that he built
Mello. And thrice a year did Salomon offer burntofferings and peaceofferings
upon the altar which he had built unto the Lord, to burn the fat thereon: which
altar is before the Lord.
And when king Salomon had made the house
perfect, he made ships in Azion Gaber which is beside Eloth, on the brink of the
red sea, in the land of Edom. And Hiram sent by ship also of his servants, that
were shipmen and expert in the sea, with the servants of Salomon. And they went
to Ophir and fetched from thence gold, to the sum of four hundred and twenty two
talents, and brought it to Salomon.
*wete (know sharply)
The Second Book
And
Salomon the son of David waxed strong in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was
with him and magnified him on high. And Salomon communed with all Israel, the
captains over thousands and hundreds, the judges and all other Lords and ancient
heads throughout all Israel. And so Salomon, and all the congregation with him,
went to the hill altar of Gabaon: for there was the tabernacle of witness of
God, which Moses the servant of the Lord made in the wilderness. But the Ark of
God had David brought from Kariath Jarim, into the place he had prepared
therefore. For he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. Moreover the brazen
altar that Bezeleel the son of Uri, the son of Or had made, was at Gabaon also,
before the tabernacle of the Lord. And Salomon and the congregation went to
visit it. And Salomon offered there before the Lord upon the brazen altar that
was by the tabernacle of witness, a thousand burntsacrifices. And the same night
God appeared unto Salomon and said to him, ask what I shall give thee. And
Salomon said unto God: thou hast shown great mercy unto David my father, and
hast made me king in his stead. And now Lord God, let thy promise unto David my
father be true. For thou hast made me King over a people like the dust of the
earth in multitude. Wherefore give me wisdom and knowledge how to behave myself
unto this people: for who is able to judge this people that is so great?
Then God said to Salomon, because thou hadst
this in thine heart, and didst not ask treasure and riches, and honor and the
lives of thine enemies, neither yet long life: But hast asked wisdom and
knowledge, to judge my people, over which I have made thee king: wisdom and
knowledge shall be given thee, and I will give thee treasure, riches, and glory
also, that among the kings before thee or after thee, none was or shall be like
thee. And so Salomon came from the hillaltar that was at Gabaon to Jerusalem
from the tabernacle of witness and reigned at Jerusalem. And Salomon gathered
chariots and horsemen: that he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and
twelve thousand horsemen, which he bestowed in the chariot cities and about the
king at Jerusalem. And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous
as stones, and Cedar trees as plenty as the mulberry trees that grow in the
valleys. And the horses which Salomon had, were brought him out of Egypt from
Keva. The kings merchants fetched them out at Keva at a price. They came and
brought out of Egypt a chariot for five hundred sickles, and an horse for one
hundred and fifty. And so brought they to all the kings of the Hethites and to
the kings of Siria through the hands of the said merchants.
Our
fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed
them speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that
he had seen. Which tabernacle our fathers received, and brought it in with
Joshue into the possession of the Gentiles which God drove out before the face
of our fathers unto the time of David, which found favour before God, and would
faine have made a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. But Solomon
built him an house.
How be it he that is highest of all, dwells not in
temples made with hands, as says the Prophet: Heaven is my seat, and earth
is my footstool, what house will you build for me says the Lord? or what place
is it that I should rest in has not my hand made all these things?
You stiffnecked and of uncircumcised hearts and
ears: you have all ways resisted the holy ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Which of the Prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain
them, which showed before of the coming of that *Just, whom you have now
betrayed and murdered. And you also have received a law by the ordinance of
Angels, and have not kept it.
When they heard these things, their hearts clave
asunder, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. But he being full of the holy
ghost, looked up steadfastly with his eyes into heaven, and saw the glory of
God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said: behold, I see the
heavens open, and the son of man standing on the right hand of God. Then they
gave a shout with a loud voice, and stopped their ears and ran upon him all at
once, and cast him out of the city, and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down
their clothes at a young mans feet named Saul. And they stoned Stephen calling
on and saying: Lord Jesus receive my spirit. And he kneeled down and cried with
a loud voice: Lord lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had thus
spoken, he fell asleep.
*wot (knew) *Just: cap J
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
Then shall he swear and say: I can not help you. Moreover, there is neither meat nor clothing in my house, make me no ruler of the people. For Jerusalem and Juda must decay, because both their words and counsel are against the Lord, they provoke the presence of his Majesty unto anger. The changing of their countenance betrayeth them, yee they declare their own sins themselves, as the Sodomites, and hide them not. Woe be unto their souls, for they shall be heavily rewarded. Then shall they say: O happy are the godly, for they may enjoy the fruits of their studies. But woe be unto the ungodly and unrighteous for they shall be rewarded after their works. O my people, *ribaudes oppress thee, and women have rule of thee. O my people, thy leaders deceive thee, and tread out the way of thy footsteps. The Lord is here to commune of the matter, and standeth to give judgement with the people. The Lord shall come forth to reason with the Senators and princes of his people, and shall say thus unto them: It is ye that have burnt up my vineyard, the robbery of the poor is in your house. Wherefore do ye oppress my people, and marred the faces of the innocents? thus shall the Lord God of Hosts revile them.
Moreover thus sayeth the Lord: Seeing the daughters of Sion are become so proud, and come in with stretched out necks, and with vain wanton eyes: seeing they come in tripping so nicely with their feet: Therefore shall the Lord shave the heads of the daughters of Sion, and make their beauty bare in the day. In that day shall the Lord take away the gorgeousness of their apparel, and spangles, chains, *partlets, and collars, bracelets and hooves, that goodly flowered wide and boarded raiment, brushes and head bands, rings and garlands, holy day clothes and veils, kerchiefs and pins, glasses and smocks, bonnets and *taches
And instead of good smell there shall be stink among them. And for their girdles there shall be loose bands. And for well set hair there shall be baldness. Instead of a stomacher, a sackcloth, and for their beauty witherdness and *son burning. Their husbands and their mighty men shall perish with the sword in battle.
*eschue (avoid, escape) *ribaudes ( extortioners :MN). *partlets = ruffled covering for the neck. *taches = buckles, clasps, fasteners. *son burning exactly as recorded.
Woe be unto them that call evil good, and good evil: which make darkness light, and light darkness, that make sour sweet, and sweet sour.
Woe be unto them that are wise in their own sight, and think themselves to have understanding.
Woe be unto them
that are conning men to sup out wine and expert to set up drunkenness. These
give sentence with the ungodly for rewards, but condemn the just cause of the
righteous.
Therefore like as the fire licketh up the
straw, as the flame consumeth the stubble: Even so ( when their root is full )
their blossom shall vanish away as dust or smoke: for they despise the law of
the Lord of Hosts, and blaspheme the word of the holy maker of Israel.
Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled
also against his people, and he shaketh his hand at them: yee he shall smite so,
that the hills shall tremble. And their carcasses shall lie in the open streets,
like mire. After all this, the wrath of God shall not cease, but he shall
stretch his hand wider. And he shall give a token unto a strange people, and
call unto them in a far country: and behold, they shall come hastily with speed.
There is not one faint or feeble among them, no not a sluggish or slippery
person. There shall not one of them put off the girdle from his loins, *ner
loose the latchet of their shoe. Their arrows are sharp, and their bows bent.
Their horses hoofs are like flint, and their cart wheels like a stormy wind.
Their cry is as it were of a lion, and the roaring of them like lions whelps.
They shall roar, and haunch up the prey, and no man shall recover it or get it
from them. In that day they shall be fierce upon them, as the sea. And if we
look unto the land, behold, it shall be all darkness and sorrow. If we look to
heaven: behold, it shall be dark with careful desperation
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 12
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven: A woman clothed with the
sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.
And she was with child and cried travailing in birth, and pained ready to be
delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven, for behold a great
red dragon having seven heads, and ten horns and crowns upon his heads: and his
tail drew the third part of the stars, and cast them to the earth.
And the dragon stood before the woman,
which was ready to be delivered: for to devour her child as soon as it were
born. And she brought forth a man child, which should rule all nations with
a rod of iron. And her son was taken up unto God, and to his seat. And the woman
fled into wilderness, where she had a place, prepared of God, that they should
feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
And there was a great battle in heaven,
Michael and his Angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his
Angels, and prevailed not: neither was their place found any more in heaven. And
the great dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan was cast out.
Which deceiveth all the world. And he was cast into the earth, and his angels
were cast out also.
And I heard a loud voice saying: in heaven
is now made salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God, and the power of
his Christ. For he is cast down which accused them before God day and night. And
they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony,
and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice heavens, and ye
that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth, and of the sea: for the
devil is come down unto you which hath great wrath, because he knoweth that he
hath but a short time.
And when the dragon saw, that he was cast
unto the earth, he persecuted the woman, which brought forth the man child. And
to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the
wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, times, and half a
time, from the presence of the serpent. And the dragon cast out of his mouth
water after the woman as it had been a river, because she should have been
caught of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her
mouth and swallowed, up the river, which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And
the dragon was wroth with the woman: and went and made war with the remnant of
her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus
Christ. And I stood on the sea *stonde
this flood out of satan's mouth is the wicked waters of any and all LIES. all the worldly lies and deceptions and deceit ...especially evil spiritual lies ...even as the king james bible of Gog and Magog ...fills the land ...
even true evil ...evil masked in good ...evil masked in love ...
And the dragon stood before the woman, which was ready to be delivered: for to devour her child as soon as it were born.
ABORTION COMES TO MIND (PERIOD)
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 5
Nevertheless, as concerning the tokens, mark this: Behold, the days
shall come, that they which dwell upon the earth, shall be taken in a great
number, and the way of the truth shall be hid, and the land shall be barren from
faith: but iniquity will have the upper hand, like as thou have seen now, and as
thou hast heard long ago. And the land that thou seest now to have rule,
shall thou shortly see waste. But if God grant thee to live, thou shalt see
after the third trumpet, that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night,
and the moon three times in the day, and blood shall drop out of wood, and the
stone shall give his voice, and the people shall be unquiet: and even shall
rule, whom they hope not that dwell upon the earth, and the fowls shall
flight, and the *Sodomitish sea shall cast out his fish, and make a noise in the
night, which many shall not know, but they shall all hear the voice thereof.
There shall be a confusion also in many
places, and the fire shall be often sent again, and the wild beasts shall go
their way, and menstruous women shall bear monsters, and salt waters will be
found in the sweat: one friend shall fight against another: then shall all wit
and understanding be hid and put into their secret places, and shall be sought
of many, and yet not be found: then shall unrighteousness and voluptuousness
have the upper hand upon the earth. One land shall also ask another, and say: Is
righteousness gone through thee? And it shall say: No, at the same time shall
men hope, but nothing obtain: they shall labor but their wages shall not
prosper.
To show thee such tokens I have leave, and
if thou wilt pray again, and weep as now, and fast seven days, thou shalt hear
yet greater things. Then I awaked, and a fearfulness went through all my body,
and my mind was feeble and careful, so that I almost sounded withal. So the
angel that was come to talk with me, held me, comforted me, and set me up upon
my feet.
And in the second night it happened, that
Salathielthe Captain of the people came unto me, saying: Where hast thou been?
and why is thy countenance so heavy? Knowest thou not, that Israel is committed
unto thee, in the land of their captivity? Up then, and eat and forsake us not,
as the shepherd that leaveth his flock in the hands of the wicked wolves. Then
said I unto him: Go thy way from me, and come not near me: and he heard it, and
as I said, so went he his way from me. And so I fasted seven days, mourning and
weeping, like as Uriel the angel commanded me. And after seven days it happened,
that the thoughts of my heart were very grievous unto me again, and my soul
received the spirit of understanding, and I began to talk with the most highest
again, and said: O' Lord, Lord, of every wood of the earth and all the trees
thereof, thou hast chosen the one only vineyard: and of all the lands of the
whole world thou hast chosen the one pit: and of all the flowers of the ground
thou hast chosen the one lily: and of all the depths of the sea thou hast filled
the one river: and of all the builded cities thou hast hallowed Sion unto thy
self: and of all the fowls that are created, thou hast named the one dove: and
of all the cattle that are made thou hast provided the one sheep: and among all
the multitudes of flocks thou hast gotten the one people, and unto this people
whom thou lovest, thou gavest the law, that is proved of all.
And now, O' Lord, why hast thou given this
one people over unto many? And upon the one root thou hast prepared other, and
why hast thou scattered thy one only people among many? which tread them down,
yee which have ever withstand thy promises, and never believed thy commandments?
And though thou werest enemy unto thy people, yet shouldest thou punish them
with thine own hands. Now when I had spoke these words, the angel that came to
me the night before, was sent unto me, and said unto me : Hear me, and harken
unto the things that I say, and I shall tell thee more. And I said: Speak on my
Lord. Then said he unto me: Thou art sore vexed and troubled for Israels sake.
Lovest thou the people better than him that made thee? And I said: No Lord, but
of very grief and compassion have I spoken. For my reigns pain me every hour,
because I would have experience of the way of the most highest, and to seek out
part of his judgement. And he said unto me: that thou mayest not. And I said:
wherefore Lord? Where unto was I born then? Or why was not my mothers childbed
then my grave? So I had not seen the misery and trouble of Jacob, and the
travail of my people of Israel.
And he said unto me: Number me the things
that are not yet come : gather me together the drops, that are scattered abroad:
make me the flowers green again, that are withered: open me the thing that is
closed: and bring me forth the winds, that are shut up: Show me the image of a
voice, and then I shall declare the thing, that thou laborest to know. And I
said: O' Lord, Lord, who may know these things, but he that hath not his
dwelling with men? As for me I am unwise: how may I then speak of these things
whereof thou asketh me? Then said he unto me: like as thou can do none of these
things that I have spoken of, even so canest thou not find out my judgement, or
in the end the love that I have promised unto my people. And I said: Behold O'
Lord, yet art thou near unto them that have no end: and what shall they do that
have been before me, or we that be now, or they that should come after us ? And
he said unto me: I will liken my judgement unto a ring. Like as there is no
slackness of the last, even so there is no swiftness of the first. So I answered
and said: couldest thou not make those ( that have been made, and that be now,
and that are for to come ) in one, that thou might show thy judgement the
sooner? Then answered he me, and said: The creature may not hasten above the
maker, nether may the world hold them at once, that shall be created.
And I said: Now hast thou said unto thy
servant, that thou living maker hast made the creature living at once, and the
creature bear it? even so might it now also bear them that be present, at once.
And he said unto me: Ask the childbed of a woman, and say unto her: If thou
bringest forth children, why doest thou not together, but one after another?
Pray her therefore, to bring forth ten children at once. And I said: she can
not, but must do it one after the other.
Then said he unto me: Even so have I given a
childbed unto the earth, for those that be sown upon it by process of time. For
like as a young child may not bring forth the things that belong to the aged,
even so have I ordered the world which I have made.
And I asked and said: Seeing thou hast now
given me the way, I will speak before thee: for our mother whom thou hast told
me, is yet young, and now she draweth near unto age. He answered, me and said:
Ask a woman that beareth children, and she shall tell thee. Say unto her:
wherefore are not they ( whom thou hast now brought forth) like those that were
before thee, but less of stature? And she shall answer thee: They that were born
in the youth of strength, are of one fashion : and they that are born in the
time of age ( when the childbed faileth) are otherwise. Consider now thyself,
how that yee are less of stature, then those that were before you, and so are
they that come after you, less then you, as the creatures that now begin to be
old, and have passed over the strength of youth. Then said I: Lord I beseech
thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show thy servant, by whom doest thou
visit thy creature?
*Sodomitish sea (*note current events RN) shall cast out his fish
This understand, that in the last days shall come parlous times. For the men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to father and mother, unthankful, unholy, unkind, trucebreakers, stubborn, false accusers, rioters, fierce despisers of them which are good, traitors, heady, high minded, greedy upon voluptuousness more then lovers of God, having a similitude of Godly living, but have denied the power thereof: and such abhor. Of this sort are they which enter into houses, and bring into bondage women laden with sin, which women are led of *diverse lusts, ever learning and never able to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 17
When he was
demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come he answered them
and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with waiting for. Neither shall men say:
Lo here, lo there. For behold the kingdom of God is with in you.
And he said unto the disciples: The days
will come, when ye shall desire to see one day of the son of man, and ye shall
not see it. And they shall say to you: See here, See there. Go not after them,
nor follow them, for as the lightning that appeareth out of the one part of the
heaven: and shineth unto the other part of heaven. So shall the son of man be in
his days. But first must he suffer many things, and be refused of this nation.
As it happened in the time of Noe: So
shall it be in the time of the son of man. They ate, they drank, they married
wives and were married, even unto the same day that Noe went into the Ark: and
the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise also, as it chanced in the days
of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built. And
even the same day that Lot went out of *Zodom, it rained fire and brimstone
from heaven, and destroyed them all. After these examples, shall it be in the
day when the son of man shall appear.
At that day he that is on the house top and
his stuff in the house: let him not come down to take it out. And likewise let
not him that is in the fields, turn back again to that he left behind. Remember
Lots wife. Whosoever will go about to save his life, shall lose it: And
whosoever shall lose his life, shall save it. I tell you in that night, there
shall be two in one bed, that one shall be received and the other shall be
forsaken. Two shall be also a grinding together: the one shall be received, and
the other forsaken. And they answered, and said unto him: where Lord? And he
said unto them: wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles
resort.
*trow (think) *Zodom (Sodom),
will the eagles resort.
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 13
And it happened after the seven days, that I dreamed a dream by night.
And behold, there arose a wind from the sea, that it moved all the floods
thereof. And I looked, and behold, the man was strong and increased with the
clouds of heaven: And when he turned his countenance to consider, all the things
trembled that were seen under him: and when the voice went out of his mouth, all
they burnt that heard him, like as the earth when it feeleth the fire.
After these I saw, and behold there was
gathered together a multitude of men out of number from the four winds of the
heaven, to fight against the man, that came out from the sea. And I looked, and
behold, he graved himself a great mountain, and flew up upon it. But I would
have seen the border or place, where out the hill was graven, and I could not.
I saw after these, that all they which came
to fight against him, were sore afraid, and yet *durst they fight. Nevertheless
when he saw the fierceness and violence of the people, he neither lift up his
hand nor held sword, nor any weapon: but only (as I saw ) he sent out of his
mouth as it had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips the wind of flame: and
out of his tongue he cast sparks and storms, and they were all mixed together :
the blast of fire, the wind of the flames, and the great storm, and fell with a
rush upon the people, which was prepared to fight and brunt them up everyone: so
that of the innumerable multitude there was nothing seen, but only dust and
smoke. When I saw this I was afraid.
Afterward saw I the same man come down
from the mountain, and calling unto him another peaceable people: and there came
much people unto him: some were glad some were sorry, some of them were bound,
so that they were carried and brought forth.
Then was I sick through great fear, and I
awaked, and said: thou hast shown thy servant all thy wonders from the
beginning, and hast counted me worthy, that thou mightest receive my prayer:
show me now yet this interpretation of this dream. For thus I consider in my
understanding: Woe unto them that shall be left in those days: and much more woe
unto them that are not left behind: for they that were not left, were in
heaviness.
Now understand I the things that are laid up
in the latter days which shall happen unto them, and to those that are not left
behind. Therefore they are come into great perils, and many necessities, like as
these dreams declare. Yet is it easier, that he which suffereth hurt come in
these, then to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and now to see the things
that shall happen in the last.
Then answered he me, and said: The
interpretation of the sight shall I show thee, and I will open unto thee, the
things that thou hast required. For thou hast spoken of them that are left
behind, and this is the interpretation. He that taketh away the peril in that
time, hath kept himself. They that be fallen into harm, are such as have works
and faith unto the Most mighty. Know this therefore, that they which be left
behind, are more blessed, then they that be dead. This is the meaning of the
vision. Where as thou sawest a man coming up from the deep of the sea, the same
is he that God the Highest hath kept a great season, which by his own self will
deliver his creature, and he shall order them that are left behind. And where as
thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came a blast of wind, fire and storm,
and how that he lift up neither sword nor weapon, but that the rushing in of him
destroyed the whole multitude, that came to fight against him: it signifieth,
that the days come, when God will deliver them that are upon the earth, and in a
trance of mind shall he come upon them, that dwell in the earth. And one shall
undertake to fight against another, one city against another, one place against
another, one people against another, one realm against another. When this cometh
to pass, then shall the tokens come, that I showed thee before: and then shall
my son be declared, whom thou sawest climb up as a man. And when all the people
hear his voice every man shall in their own land leave the battle that they have
one against another, an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as
they that be willing to come and to overcome him by fighting. But he shall stand
upon the top of mount Sion. Nevertheless Sion shall come, and shall be showed,
being prepared and builded for all men, like as thou sawest the hill graven
forth without any hands. But my son shall rebuke the people that are come for
their wickedness, with the tempest, and for their evil imaginations: and their
pains wherewith they shall be punished, are likened unto the flame: and with out
any labor, shall he destroy them, even by the law, which is compared to the
fire.
And whereas thou sawest, that he gathered
another peaceable people unto him: those are the ten tribes, which were carried
away prisoners out of their own land, in the time of *Oseas the King, whom *Salmanasar
the King of Assiria took prisoner, and carried them over the water, and so they
came into another land.
But they gave them this counsel, that they
should leave the multitude of the Heathen, and go forth into a farther country,
where never mankind dwelt: that they might there keep their statutes, which they
never kept in their own land. And so they entered in at the narrow passages of
water of the Euphrates, and God showed tokens for them, and held still the flood
till they were passed over: for through that country there was a great way,
namely of a year and a half journey, for that same region is called Asareth.
Then dwelt they there unto the latter time: and when they come forth again, the
Highest shall hold still the springs of the stream again, that they may go
through, therefore thou sawest the multitude with peace. And they that be left
behind of thy people, are those that be found within my border. Now when he
destroyeth the multitude that is gathered together, he shall defend his people
that remain, and then shall he show them great wonders.
Then said I: O' Lord, Lord, show me this:
wherefore have I seen the man coming up from the deep of the sea? And he said
unto me: Like as thou canst neither seek out nor know these things that are in
the deep of the sea, even so mayest thou not see my son, or those that be with
him, but in the time of the day. This is the interpretation of the dream which
thou sawest, therefore thou only art here lightened: for thou hast forsaken
thine own law, and applied thy diligence unto mine, and sought it. Thy life thou
hast ordered in wisdom, and hast called understanding your mother, and therefore
have I showed thee the treasure of the Highest. After three days I will show
thee more, and talk with thee at more large, yee heavy and wondrous things will
I declare unto thee.
Then went I forth into the field, giving
praise and thanks greatly unto God, because of his wonders which he did in time,
and because he governeth the same, and such as is in time, and there I sat
three days

and of a nightmare of the same in HELL
... More vanities were shown as to the loved objects ...those
"things of the world" that are wanted after to no returning. Again all
manner of things cherished for there were men and women that loved their cars,
boats, airplanes, collectibles ...and whatsoever they could not turn from the
wantonness thereof...these did polish, clean, and labor at these objects of
their wicked wantonness without stopping. Yet even as they labored so did the
object tarnish, rust, fall apart and were consumed, as it were back into the
ground from which they came. Again no end to the lusting after and the pride of
these goods ...yet never in anyway did anything last. "collecting
classic cars and other heaps of THINGS..."
"WARN the youth do not get into cars with strangers..."
"fleeing yet wanting to hold on to things of the world..."
"do not betray each other over the things of the world..."
"do not complain against God over things of the world..."
"things of the world...the unruly wife and children like young dogs...
"things of the world and the dead dog..."
"who will buy the things of the world...
"the man the wife the children and things of the world..."
"things of the world ...things of God... "
"work and work and things of the world ...works and goods ...prayer and fasting "
Love not ....the things of the world
