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.
Behold in a very dread full dream during the whoreable 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 land of murderous men ...and care less women ...
and the murderous men have all the fear full people as prisoners ...
and the fear full men as wethers ( castrated male sheep) ...
and a sacrifice is needed to keep the masses full of fear ...
even many many sacrifices ...as many were murdered of man made diseases ...and the children mutilated of mindless lust full insanity ...
even infants in or out of the womb ...butchered ...for profit and pride ...to hide the hysterical deprivation of the lust of the flesh ...
and many many many more "sacrifices" needed to insure the FEAR ...
and THAT so the rule and power and profit of the abject UNGodlie wicked rulers of darkness of this world ...
even the FEAR that rakes peoples spirits ...that they knell down and tremble in fear before false profits and preachers of spiritual wickedness ...to be "comforted" with lies and guile and preaching's of passivity...
and i looked and the land was as a stinking sewer of utter darkness as all waded in "their own shit" ...and of "being" pissed on and pissed off ...
Yet DOING NOTHING !!! unable ...weak and whining and weeping ...wading knee deep ...chest deep ...neck deep ...drowning ...in the "waters" of UNGodlieness ...murderous lies deceptions and guile and greed ...
and the brackish waters of vile evil UNGodlie darkness flowed all to the LEFT ...like a torrent of torment and raging and rushing mindlessly ( mindless LIE ) of any and all UNGodlie thinking. deep discernment, imaginations and or hallucinations ... (HELL LOSE IN THE NATION )
Nevertheless i LOOKED and was ASTOUNDED !!!
and that for a man ...a MAN was ESCAPING to the RIGHT !!!
and he waded and walked to lesser and lesser deepness of the UNGodlie sewer ...
even off the high hills and places of utter darkness ...
and even did an utterly beguiled man ...wish him well and give him a gun ...as he fled ...
and soon the man was able to run ...AND HE RAN FOR HIS LIFE !!! TO THE RIGHT !!!
and the sewer waters of UNGodlie utter vile evil darkness began to BE MORE CLEAR !!! that he could SEE ...
and he ran the more ...as the "waters" became clear and clean ...
and soon he was walking in pure waters of life and living and being ...
and he looked and was ASTOUNDED !!!
for the land was all clean and clear ...and he could SEE ...
even that the SON was rising ...
and as i WAS AWAKENED ...i was shown a woman who was wanting to rule the country ...and she justified and loved that women have abortions ...and she turned her neck and head ...eyes glazed over ...grinning and laughed like a hyena ...
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 20
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the people which are in the four quarters of the earth Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea: and they went up on the plain of the earth, and compassed the tents of the saints about, and the beloved city. And fire came down from God, out of heaven, and devoured them: and the devil that deceived them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were and shall be tormented day and night for ever more.
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.
(the flood out of satans mouth is all the worldly lies and deceptions and deceit ...)
that flood is the wicked waters of any and all LIES ...of the LEFT 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 ...
*stonde: two possible words come from the Middle English: stound: meaning "a short time" and stonen: meaning "stunned". stunned because of the vision.
ABORTION ...And the dragon stood before the woman, which was ready to be delivered: for to devour her child as soon as it were born.
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
But the fearful and unbelieving,
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For
the first heaven, and the first earth were vanished away, and there was no more
sea. And I John saw that holy city new Jerusalem come down from God out of
heaven prepared as a bride garnished for her husband. And I heard a great voice
out of heaven saying: behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will
dwell with them. And they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with
them and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And
there shall be no more death, neither sorrow neither crying, neither shall there
be any more pain, for the old things are gone. And he that sat upon the seat,
said. Behold I make all things new. And he said unto me: write, for these words
are faithful and true.
And he said unto me: it is done, I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is a thirst of the
well of the water of life, free. He that overcometh, shall inherit all things,
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
And there came unto me one of the
seven Angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues: and
talked with me saying: come hither, I will show thee the bride, the lambs wife.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and an high mountain, and he
showed me the great city, holy Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God,
having the brightness of God. And her shining was like unto a stone most
precious, even a Jasper clear as Crystal: and had walls great and high, and had
twelve gates, and at the gates twelve Angels: and names written, which are the
twelve tribes of Israel: on the East part three gates, and on the North side
three gates, and towards the South three gates, and from the west three gates:
and the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the
lambs twelve apostles.
And he that talked with me, had a golden
reed to measure the city with all and the gates thereof and the wall thereof.
And the city was built four square and the length was as large as the breadth of
it, and he measured the city with the reed twelve thousand furlongs: and the
length and the breadth, and the height of it, were equal. And he measured the
wall thereof an hundred and forty four cubits: the measure that the angel had
was after the measure that man useth. And the building of the wall of it was of
Jasper. And the city was pure gold like unto clear glass and the foundations of
the wall of the city was garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first
foundation was Jasper, the second Sapphire, the third a Chalcedony, the fourth
an Emerald: the fifth Sardonyx: the sixth Sardeos: the seventh Chrysolite: the
eighth Berall: the ninth a Topas: the tenth a Crysoprasos: the eleventh a
Jacincte: the twelfth an Amatist.
The twelve gates were twelve pearls, every
gate was of one pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, as through
shining glass. And there was no temple therein. For the Lord God almighty and
the lamb are the temple of it. and the city hath no need of the *son neither of
the moon to lighten it. For the brightness of God did light it: and the lamb was
the light of it. And the people which are saved shall walk in the light of it:
and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory unto it. And the gates of
it are not shut by day. For there shall be no night there. And there shall enter
into it none unclean thing: neither what soever worketh abomination or maketh
lies: but they only which are written in the lambs book of life
*son: exactly as it appears; sonne other places see that sun was spelled sunne in the original.
THE FIRST TO THE CORINTHIANS Chpt 11
I commend you brethren that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances even as I delivered them to you. I would ye knew that Christ is the head of every man. And the man is the womans head. And God is Christs head. Every man praying or prophesying having any thing on his head, shameth his head. Every woman that prayeth or prophesieth bare headed, dishonesteth her head. For it is even all one, and the very same thing, even as though she were shaven. If the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn. If it be shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her cover her head.
Woe be unto the land of *flying ships, which is this side the flood of Ethiopia: which sendeth her message over the sea in ships of reeds upon the water: and sayeth go soon, and do your message unto a strange and hard folk: to a fearful people, and to a people that is further than this: to a desperate and *pilled folk, whose land is divided from us with rivers of water. Yee all ye that sit in the compass of the world, and dwell upon the earth: when the token shall be given upon the mountains, then look up: and when the horn bloweth, then harken to, for thus hath the Lord said unto me. I lay me down, and pondered the matter in my house, at the Noon day when it was hot: And there fell a misting shower, like a dew, as it happeneth in Harvest. But the fruits were not yet ripe cut off, and the grapes were but young and green. Then one smote off, the grapes with an hook, yee he hewed down also the boughs and the branches, and did cast them away. And thus they were layed waste, for the fowls of the mountains, and for the beasts of the earth together. So that the fowls sat there upon, and the beasts of the earth wintered there. Then shall there be a present brought to the Lord of Hosts: even that hard folk, that fearful folk, and that further is then this: that desperate and pilled folk ( whose land is divided from us with floods of water ) unto the place of the name of the Lord of Hosts: even unto the hill of Sion
* *flying ships, this is exactly as it is written. *pilled; to be under extortion, extorted from: "what ever the market will bear" comes to mind. RN
and women have rule of thee...
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
Every man can *eschue a person moved to anger, for what he doth wisely? Even so shall the Lord of Hosts take away from Jerusalem and from Juda, all possessions and power, all meat and drink, the captain and the soldier, the judge and the prophet, the wise and the aged man, the worshipful of fifty year old, and the honorable: the Senators, and the men of understanding: the masters of crafts and orators. And I shall give you children to be your princes,( sayeth the Lord ) and babes shall have the rule of you. One shall ever be doing violence and wrong to another. The boy will presume against the elder, and the vile person against the honorable. Ye when one shall take a friend of his own kindred by the bosom, and say: Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our head, for thou mayest keep us from this fall and peril.
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
For the wrath of God appeareth from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men which withhold the truth in unrighteousness: seeing, what may be known of God, that same is manifest among them. For God did show it unto them. So that his invisible things: that is to say, his eternal power and godhead, are understood and seen, by the works from the creation of the world. So that they are without excuse, in as much as when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful but waxed full of vanities in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were blinded. When they counted themselves wise, they became fools and turned the glory of the immortal God, unto the similitude of the image of mortal man, and of birds, and fourfooted beasts, and of serpents. Wherefore God like wise gave them up unto their hearts lusts, unto uncleanness, to defile their own bodies between themselves: which turned his truth unto a lie, and worshipped and served the creatures more then the maker, which is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto shameful lusts. For even their women did change the natural use unto the unnatural. And likewise also the men left the natural use of the woman, and burned in their lusts one on another. And man with man wrought filthiness, and received in themselves the reward of their error, as it was according.
And as it seemed not good unto them to be a known of God, even so God delivered them up unto a lewd mind, that they should do those things which were not comely, being full of all unrighteous doing, of fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, evil conditioned, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proud, boasters, bringers up of evil things, disobedient to father and mother, without understanding, covenant breakers, unloving, truce breakers and merciless. Which men though they knew the righteousness of God, how that they which commit such things, are worthy of death, yet not only do the same, but also have pleasure in them that do them.
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
Woe to the blood
thirsty city, which is all full of lies and robbery, and will not leave off
of ravishing. There a man may hear scourging, rushing, the noise of the
wheels, the crying of the horses, and the rolling of the chariots. There the
horsemen get up with naked swords, and glittering spears: There layeth a
multitude of slain, and a great heap of dead *coarses, yee men fall upon their
bodies: And that for the great and many fold whoredom, of the fair and
beautiful harlot: which is a mistress of witchcraft, yee and selleth the people
through her whoredom, and the nations through her witchcraft.
Behold, I will upon thee ( sayeth the Lord
of hosts ) and will pull thy clothes over thy head: that I may show thy
nakedness among the Heathen, and thy shame among the kingdoms. I will cast dirt
upon thee, to make thee be abhorred, and a gazing stock: Yee all they that look
upon thee, shall start back, and say: Ninive is destroyed.
Who will have pity upon thee: where shall
I seek one to comfort thee? Art thou better than the great city of
Alexandria: that lay in the waters, and had the waters round about it: which was
strongly fenced and walled with the sea? Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength,
and that exceedingly great above measure. Africa and Libya were her helpers, yet
was she driven away, and brought into captivity: her young children were smitten
down at the head of every street, the lots were cast for the most ancient men in
her, and all her mighty men were bound in chains. Even so shalt thou also be
drunken, and hide thyself, and seek some help against thy enemy. All thy strong
cities shall be like fig trees with ripe figs: which when a man shaketh, they
shall fall into the mouth of the eater.
Behold, thy people within thee are but
women: the ports of thy land shall be open to thine enemies, and the fire
shall devour thy barrs. Draw water now against thou be besieged, make up thy
strongholds, go into the clay, temper the mortar, make strong brick: yet the
fire shall consume thee, the sword shall destroy thee, yee as the locust doth,
so shall it eat thee up. It shall fall heavily upon thee as the locusts, yee
right heavily shall it fall upon thee, even as the grasshoppers. Thy
merchants have been numbered with the stars of heaven: but now shall they spread
abroad as the locusts, and flee their way:
Thy lords are as the grasshoppers, and thy captains as the multitude of
grasshoppers: which when they be cold, remain in the hedges: but when the Sun is
up, they flee away, and no man can tell where they are become. Thy shepherds are
asleep ( O king of Assur ) thy worthies are laid down: thy people is scattered
abroad upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them together again. Thy wound
cannot be healed, thy plague is so sore. All they that hear this of thee, shall
clap their hands over thee. For what is he, to whom thou hast not always been
doing hurt

THE
GOSPELL OF ST. JOHN Chpt 4 The woman said
unto him: Sir I perceive that thou art a Prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this
mountain: and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Jesus said unto her: woman believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in
this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the father. Ye worship ye *wot
not what: we know what we worship. For salvation cometh of the Jewes. But the
hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the father in
spirit, and in truth. For verily such the father requireth to worship him. God
is a spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him, in spirit and truth. THE
GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 7 Not all they that say
unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth
my fathers will which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord,
have we not in thy name Prophesied? And in thy name
have cast out devils? And in thy name have done many miracles?
And then will I knowledge unto them that I never knew them. Depart from
me, ye workers of iniquity. The 11th Chapter The 12th Chapter The 13th Chapter The 14th Chapter The 15th Chapter The 16th Chapter
Then saw I a dream: and behold, there came up
from the sea an Eagle, which had twelve wings and three
heads: And I saw, and behold, *he spread his wings over all the earth, and all
the winds of the air blew in them, and so they were put together again. And
I beheld, and out of his feathers there grew other little contrary feathers: the
heads rested, the head in the midst was greater that the others, yet rested it
with the residue.
Moreover I saw, that the eagle flew with his
wings, and reigned upon the earth, and over all them that dwell upon the earth:
and I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto him, and no man spoke
against him, no not one creature upon the earth. I saw also that the Eagle
stood up on his claws, and give a sound with his feathers, and a voice saying
things after this manner: watch not all together, sleep every man in his own
place, and watch for a time, but let the heads be preserved at the last.
Nevertheless I saw, that the voice went not out of his heads, but from the midst
of his body. And I numbered his contrary feathers, and behold there were eight
of them. And I looked, and behold upon the right side there arose one feather,
and reigned over all the earth. And it happened, that when it reigned, the end
of it came, and the place thereof appeared no more. So the next following stood
up, and reigned, and had a great time: and it happened, that when it reigned,
the end of it came also, like as the first, so that it appeared no more. *Note
this eagle spread his wings "over all the earth" not just Europe and
the Mediterraneans as the Romans did..or any other nation for that matter. RN
Then came there a voice unto it, and said: Hear
you that have kept in the earth so long, this I say unto you, before you begin
to appear no more: There shall none after you attain unto your time. Then arose
the third, and reigned as the other before, and appeared no more also. So went
it with all the residue one after the other, so that every one reigned, and then
appeared no more. Then I looked, and behold, in the process of time that the
feathers that followed were set up upon the right side, that they might rule
also: and some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no more: for some
of them were set up, but ruled not. After this I looked, and behold the twelve
feathers appeared no more, and that two wings: and there were no more upon the
Eagles body, but the two heads that rested, and six feathers. Then saw I
also, that the six feathers were parted in two, and remained under the head,
that was upon the right side, for the four continued in their place. So I
looked, and behold, they that were under the wings, thought to set up
themselves, and to have the rule. Then was there one set up, but shortly it
appeared no more, and the second was sooner away than the first. And I beheld,
and lo, the two thought also by themselves to reign: and when they so thought,
behold there awakened one of the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in
the midst, for that was the greater of the two heads. And then I saw, that the
two heads were filled with him and the head was turned with them that were by
him, and eat up the two under wings , that would have reigned.
But this head put the whole earth in fear, and
bare rule in it, over all those that dwelt upon the earth with much labor, and
he had the governance of the world, over all the fowls that have been. After
this I looked , and behold, the head that was in the midst, suddenly appeared no
more, like as the wings: then came the two heads, which ruled upon the earth,
and over those that dwelt therein. And I beheld, and lo the head upon the
right side, devoured it that was upon the left side. And I heard a voice,
which said unto me: look before you, and consider the thing that you see. Then I
saw, and behold, as it were a lion that roars, running hastily out of the wood, and
he sent out a mans voice unto the Eagle, and said: Hear you, I will talk with
you, and the Highest shall say unto you: Is it not you that have the victory of
the four beasts, whom I made to reign upon the earth and in my world, and that
the end of their times might come through them?
And the fourth came, and *overwane *overwane=
over / diminish, weaken, subdue all the beasts that were past, and had
power over the world with great fearfulness, and over the whole compass of
the earth with the most wicked labor, and so long time dwelt he upon the earth
with deceit, and the earth you have not judged the truth. For you have
troubled the meek, you have hurt the peaceable and quiet, you have loved lies,
and destroyed the dwellings of them that brought forth fruit, and have cast down
the walls of such as did you no harm. Therefore is your wrongeous dealing and
blasphemy come up unto the Highest, and your pride unto the Mighty. The Highest
also has looked upon the proud times, and behold, they are ended, and their
abominations are fulfilled. And therefore appear no more you Eagle, and your
horrible wings, and your wicked feathers, and your ungracious heads, and your
sinful claws, and all your vain body: that the earth may be refreshed, and come
again to herself, when she is delivered from your violence, and that she may
hope for the judgement and mercy of him that made her.
And it happened when the Lion
spoke, these words unto the Eagle, I saw, and behold, the head that before
had the upper hand, appeared no more: neither did the four wings appear any
more, that came to him, and were set up to reign: and their kingdom was small
and full of uproar. And I saw, and behold, they appeared no more, and the whole
body of the Eagle was burnt, and the earth was in great fear. Then awakened
I out of the trance of my mind, and from great fear, and said unto my spirit:
Lo, this have you given me, in that you search out the ways of the Highest: lo,
yet I am weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit, and little strength is
there in me, for the great fear that I received this night. Therefore will I
now beseech the Highest, that he will comfort me unto the end: A I said,
Lord, Lord, if I have before your sight, and if I am justified with you before
many other, and if my prayer be come up before your face, comfort me then, and
show me your servant the interpretation and plain difference of this horrible
sight, that you may perfectly comfort my soul: for you have judged me worthy, to
show me the last of times.
And he said unto me: this is the interpretation of
this sight. The Eagle whom you saw saw come up from the sea, is the kingdom
which was seen in the vision of your brother Daniel, but it was not expounded
unto him, for now I declare it unto you. Behold, the days come, that there shall
rise up a kingdom upon the earth, and it shall be feared above all the kingdoms
that were before it. In the same kingdom shall twelve kings reign, one after
the other. For the second shall begin to reign, and shall have more time than
the other, and this do the twelve wings signify, which you sawest. As for the
voice that spoke, and that you saw go out from the heads but not from the body,
it be tokens, that after the time of that kingdom there shall arise great
strivings, and it shall stand in peril of falling: nevertheless it shall not yet
fall, but shall be set in to his beginning. And the eight under wings which you
saw hang unto the wings of him, betoken, that in him there shall arise eight
kings, whose time shall be small, and their years swift, and two of them shall
bear. But when the midst time comes, there shall be four kept in that time, when
his time begins to come that it may be ended, but two shall be kept unto the
end.
And where as you saw tree heads resting, this is
the interpretation: In his last shall the Highest raise up three kingdoms, and
call many again into them, and they shall have the dominion of the earth, and of
those that dwell therein, with much labor above all those that were before them.
Therefore are they called the heads of the Eagle: for it is they that shall
bring forth his wickedness again, and that shall perform and finish his last.
And where as you sawest, that the great head appeared no more, it signifies,
that one of them shall die upon his bed, and yet with pain, for the two that
remain, shall be slain with the sword. For the sword of the one shall devour the
other, but at the last shall he fall through the sword himself.
And where as you saw two underwings upon the head
that is on the right side, it signifies that it is they, whom the Highest has
kept unto their end: this is a small kingdom, full of trouble. The Lion whom you
saw rising up out of the wood, and roaring, and speaking unto the Eagle, and
rebuking him for his unrighteousness, is the wind, which the Highest has kept
for them and for their wickedness unto the end: he shall reprove them, and rent
them asunder before them. For he shall set them living before the judgement, and
shall rebuke them: for the residue of my people shall he deliver with trouble,
those that be preserved over mine ends: and he shall make them joyful until the
coming day of Judgement, where of I have spoken unto you from the beginning.
This is the dream that you sawest, and this is the interpretation. You only have
been meat to know the secret of the Highest.
Therefore write all these things that you have
seen in a book, and hide them, and teach them the wise in the people, whos
hearts you know may comprehend and keep these secrets. But wait you here
yourself yet seven days more, that it may be showed the , whatsoever pleases the
Highest to declare unto you, and with that he went his way.
And when all the people perceived, that the seven
days were past, And I come again into the city, they gathered them all together
from the least to the most, and came unto me, and said: what have we offended
you? and what evil have we done against you, that you forsake us, and sits here
in this place? For of all the people you only are left us, as a grape of the
vine, and as a candle in a dark place, and as a haven a ship preserved from the
tempest. Have we not adversity enough, but you must forsake us? Were it not
better for us, that we had been burnt with Sion? For we are no better, then they
that died there: and they wept with loud voice. Then answered I them and said:
Be of good comfort O' Israel, be not heavy you house of Jacob: for the Highest
has you in remembrance, and the Mighty has not forgotten you in temptation. As
for me, I have not forsaken you, neither am I departed from you: but am come
into this place to pray, because of the misery of Israel, that I might seek
mercy for the low estate of your Sanctuary. And now go your way home every man,
and after these days will I come unto you. So the people went their way into the
city, like as I commanded them: but I remained in the field seven days, as the
Angle bade me: and I ate only of the flowers of the field, and had my meat of
the herbs in those days.
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
feels 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. *durst= dare
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
awakened, and said: you have shown your servant all your wonders from the
beginning, and have counted me worthy, that you might 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 suffers 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 you, and I will open unto you, the things that you
have required. For you have spoken of them that are left behind, and this is the
interpretation. He that takes away the peril in that time, has 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 you saw a
man coming up from the deep of the sea, the same is he that God the Highest has
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 you 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 signifies, 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 comes to pass, then
shall the tokens come, that I showed you before: and then shall my son be
declared, whom you saw 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 you saw 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 you 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. *Oseas = Hosea, *Salmanasar = Shalmaneser
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 you saw the multitude with peace. And they that be left behind of your
people, are those that be found within my border. Now when he destroys 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 you can neither seek out nor know these things that are in the
deep of the sea, even so may you 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 you sawest,
therefore you only are here lightened: for you have forsaken your own law, and
applied your diligence unto mine, and sought it. your life you have ordered in
wisdom, and have called understanding your mother, and therefore have I showed
you the treasure of the Highest. After three days I will show you more, and talk
with you at more large, yes heavy and wondrous things will I declare unto you.
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 governs the same, and such as is in time, and there I sat three days.
Upon the third day I sat under an oak tree, then
came there a voice unto me out of the bush, and said: Esdras, Esdras? And I
said: here am I Lord, and stood up on my feet. Then spoke he unto me: In the
bush did I appear unto Moses, and talked with him, when my people served in
Egypt, and I sent him, and led my people out of Egypt, and brought him upon
mount Sion, where I held him by me a long season, and told him my wondrous
works, and showed him the secrets of the times and the end, and commanded him,
saying: These words shall you declare, and not hide them. And now I say unto
you, that you lay up in your heart the dreams that you have seen, and the
interpretations which I have showed you: for you shall be received of all, you
shall be turned and remain in my counsel, and with such as be like you, until
the times be ended. For the world has lost his youth, and the time is divided
into twelve parts, and ten parts of it are gone already, and half of the tenth
part: yet remains there that, which is after the half of the tenth part.
Therefore prepare and order your house, and
reform your people: comfort such of them as be in trouble: and tell now of the
destruction: let go from you all mortal thoughts: cast away the berthens of man:
put off the weak nature: lay up in some places the thoughts that are most heavy
unto you, and have you to flight from these times: for such evil and wickedness
as you have now seen happen, shall they do yet much worse. For the weaker
that the world and the times is, the more shall sin and wickedness increase, in
them that dwell upon the earth: For the truth is fled far away, and the leasing
is hard at hand. For now hastens the vision to come, that you have seen.
Then answered I and said: Behold Lord, I will go
as you have commanded me, and reform the people which are present. But they that
shall be born afterward, who will exhort or rebuke them? Thus the world is set
in darkness, and they that dwell therein, are without light: for your law is
kindled, because no man knows the things that are done of you, or that shall be
done. If I have found grace before you, send the holy ghost into me, and I shall
write all that has been done in the world since the beginning, which was written
in your law, that men may find the path, and that they which will live in the
latter days, may live.
And he answered me, saying: Go your way, gather
your people together, and say unto them, that they seek you not for forty days,
but look you gather the many box trees, and take with you Sarea, Dabria, Selemia,
Echanus and Asiall, these five, which are ready to write swiftly, and come
hither, and I shall light a candle of understanding in your heart which shall
not be put out, till the things be performed which you shall begin to write.
Then shall you declare some things openly unto the perfect, and some things you
shall show secretly to the wise. Tomorrow this hour you shall begin to write.
Then went I forth (as he commanded me) and
gathered all the people together, and said: Hear these words O' Israel: Our
fathers from the beginning were strangers in Egypt, from where they were
delivered, and received the law of life, which they kept not, which you have
also transgressed after them. Then was this land and the land of Sion parted
among you by lot to possess. But your fathers and you yourselves also have done
unrighteousness, and have not kept the ways which the Highest commanded you. And
for so much as he is a righteous judge, he took from you in time the thing that
he had given you. And now are you here and your brethren among you. Therefore if
so be that you will subdue your own understanding, and reform your heart, you
shall be kept alive, and after death you shall obtain mercy. For after death
shall the judgement come, when we shall live again: and then shall the names of
the righteous be manifest, and the names of the ungodly with their works shall
be declared. Let no man therefore come now unto me, nor ask any question at me
these forty days.
So I took the five men (as he commanded me) and we
went into the field, and remained there. The next days a voice called me saying:
Esdras, open your mouth, and behold, he reached me a full cup, which was full a
water, but the color of it was like fire. And I took it and drank. And when I
had drunk it , my heart had understanding, and wisdom grew in my breast: for my
spirit was kept in remembrance, and my mouth was opened and shut no more. The
Highest gave understanding to the five men, that they wrote the high things of
the night, which they understood not. But in the night they ate bread: as for
me, I spoke in the day, and held not my tongue by night. In forty days, they
wrote two hundred and four books.
And it happened when the forty days were
fulfilled, that the Highest spoke, saying: The first that you have written,
speak openly, that the worthy and the unworthy may read it. But keep the seventy
last that you may show it only to such as be wise among your people. For in them
is the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the stream of
knowledge. And I did so.
Behold speak you in the ears of my people the
words of the prophecy, which I will put in your mouth, says the Lord: and cause
this to be written in a letter, for it is the truth. Fear not the imaginations
against you, let not the unfaithfulness of them trouble you, that speak against
you. For all the unfaithful shall die in their unfaithfulness. Behold says
the Lord, I will bring plagues upon the world, the sword hunger, death and
destruction: for wickedness has the upper hand in all the earth, and their
shameful works are fulfilled.
Therefore says the Lord: I will hold my tongue no
more unto their wickedness, which they do so ungodly: neither will I suffer them
in the things, that they deal with all so wickedly. Behold the innocent blood of
the troubled crys unto me, and the souls of the righteous complain continually:
And therefore (says the Lord) I will surely avenge and recause unto me all the
innocent blood from among them.
Behold, my people, is led as a flock of sheep to
be slain, I will not suffer (allow) them now to dwell in Egypt,
but will bring them out with a mighty hand and a stretched out arm, and smite it
with plagues as before, and will destroy all the land of it. Egypt will mourn,
and the foundations of it shall be smitten with the plague and punishment, that
God shall bring upon it.
They that till the ground, shall mourn: for their
feeds shall be destroyed through the blasting and hail, and an horrible star Do
warns the world and them that dwell therin, for the sword and their destruction
draws nigh, and one people shall stand up to fight against another, and swords
in their hands. For men shall be unsteadfast, and some shall do violence unto
the other: they shall not regard their king and princes, the ways of their
doings and the handlings in their power. A man shall desire to go into the city,
and shall not be able. For because of their pride the cities shall be brought in
fear, the houses shall shake, and men shall be afraid. A man shall have no pity
upon his neighbor, but one shall provoke another unto battle to spoil their
goods because of the hunger of bread, and because of the great trouble.
Behold, I gather together and call together all
the kings of the earth which are from the uprising, from the South, from the
East and Libanus to turn unto them, and restore the things they have given them.
Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do also, and recompense
them in their bosom. Thus says the Lord God: My right hand shall not spare the
sinners, and my sword shall not cease over them, that shed the innocent blood
upon the earth. The fear has gone out from his wrath, and the sinners like the
straw that is kindled. Do warn them that sin, and keep not my commandments, says
the Lord. I will not spare them. Go your way you children from violence, defile
not my sanctuary: for the Lord knows all them that sin against him, and
therefore delivers he them unto death and destruction: for now are the plagues
come upon the world, and you shall remain in them. For God shall not deliver
you, because you have sinned against him.
Behold, an horrible vision comes from the East,
where generations of Dragons shall come out, and the people of the Arabes with
many chariots, and the multitude of them shall be as the wind upon the earth,
that all that hear them raging in their wrath, may fear and be afraid: and
as the wild boars out of the wood, so shall they go out, and with great power
shall they come, and stand fighting with them, and shall waste the portion of
the land of the Assirians.
And then shall the Dragons have the upper hand,
not remembering their birth, and shall turn about swearing together in great
power, to persecute them. But these shall be afraid, and keep silence at their
power, and shall flee: and one out of the land of the Assirians shall besiege
them, and consume one of them, and in their host shall be fear and dread, and
strife among their kings.
Behold clouds from the East, and from the North
unto the South, and they are very horrible to look upon, full of wrath and
storm. They shall smite one upon another, and they shall smite at the great star
upon earth and their star, and the blood shall be from the sword unto the belly,
and the smoke of man unto the camels litter: And there shall be great
fearfulness and trembling upon the earth, and they that see wrath shall be
afraid, and a trembling shall come upon them.
And then shall there come great rains from the
South and from the North, and part from the West, and from the stormy wind from
the East, and shall shut them up again, and the cloud which he raised up in
wrath, and the star to cause fear toward the East and West wind, shall be
destroyed: and the great clouds shall be lift up, and the mighty clouds full of
wrath, and the star, that they may make all the earth afraid and them that dwell
therin, and that they may pour out over all places an horrible star, fire and
hail and flying swords, and many waters: that all fields may be full, and all
rivers, and they shall break down the cities and walls, mountains and hills, all
trees, wood, and the grass of the meadows, and all their fruit. And they shall
go steadfast into Babylon, and make her afraid, they shall come to her and
besiege her: the star and all wrath shall they pour out upon her.
Then shall the dust and smoke go up unto heaven,
and all they that be about her, shall bewail her: and they that remain under
her, shall do service unto them that have put her in fear: And you Asia that
comfort yourself also upon the hope of Babylon, and are a worshipper of her
person: Woe be unto you wretch, because you have made yourself like unto her,
and have decked your daughters in whoredom, that they might triumph and please
your lovers, which have always desired to commit whoredom with you: you have
followed the abominable city in all her works and inventions.
Therefore says God: I will send plagues upon you,
widowhood, poverty, hunger, wars, and pestilence, to waste your houses with
destruction and death, and the glory of your power shall be dried up as a
flower, when the heat arises that is sent over you. You shall *bespeck as a poor
wife that is plagued and beaten of women:
so that the mighty and lover shall not be able to receive you. Would I so hate
you says the Lord? If you had not always slain my chosen, exalting the stoke of
your hands, and said over their death, when you was drunken: set forth the
beauty of your countenance. *bespeck= speaking; to give grounds for
believing
The reward of your whoredom shall be
recompensed you in your bosom, therefore shall you receive reward.
Like as you have done unto my chosen (says the
Lord) even so shall God do unto you, and shall deliver you into the plague. your
children shall die of hunger, and you shall fall through the sword. your cities
shall be broken down, and all your shall perish with the sword in the field.
They that be in the mountains shall die of hunger, and eat their own flesh, and
drink their own blood for very hunger of bread and thirst of water. You unhappy
shall come through the sea, and receive plagues again.
In the passage they shall cast down the slain
city, and shall root out one part of your land, and consume the portion of your
glory. They shall tread the down like stubble, and they shall be your fire and
shall consume you: your cities and your land, your wood and your fruitful trees
shall they burn up with the fire. your children shall they carry away captive,
and look what you hast, they shall spoil it, and mar the beauty of your face.
Woe be unto you Babylon and Asia, woe be unto you
Egypt and Syria: gird yourselves with clothes of sack and hear, and mourn for
your childern, be sorry, for your destruction is at hand. A sword is sent upon
you, and who will turn it back? A fire is kindled among you, and who will quench
it: Plagues are sent unto you, and what is he that will drive them away? May any
man drive away an hungry lion in the woods? Or may any man quench the fire in
the stubble, when it has gone to burn? May one turn again the arrow, that is
shot of a strong archer? The mighty Lord sends the plagues, and what is he that
will drive them away? The fire is kindled and gone forth in his wrath, and what
is he that will quench it? He shall cast lightings, and who shall no fear? He
shall thunder, and who shall not be afraid: The Lord shall threaten and who
shall not utterly be beaten to powder at his presence? The earth quaketh, and
the foundations thereof: the sea arises up with waves from the deep, and the
floods of it are unquiet and the fishes thereof also before the Lord, and before
the glory of his power. For strong is his right hand that holds the bow, his
arrows that he shoots, are sharp, and shall not miss, when they begin to be shot
to the ends of the world.
Behold, the plagues are sent, and shall not turn
again, till they come upon the earth. The fire is kindled, and shall not be put
out, till it consume the foundations of the earth. Like as an arrow shot of a
mighty archer, returns not backward: even so the plagues that shall be sent upon
the earth, shall not turn again. Woe is me, woe is me, who will deliver me in
those days? The beginning of sorrows and great mourning: the beginning of *darth
and great death: the beginning of wars, and the powers shall stand in fear: the
beginning of evils, and they shall tremble everyone. What shall I do in these
things, when the plagues come? Behold, hunger, and plague, trouble and anguish
are sent, as scourging for amendment. But for all these things they shall not
turn from their wickedness, nor be always mindful of the scourging.
Behold, vitals shall be so good cheap upon the
earth, that they shall think them selves to be in good case? And even then shall
mischief grow up upon the earth, wars, darth and great disquietness. For many of
them that dwell upon the earth shall perish of hunger, and the other that escape
the hunger, shall the sword destroy: And the dead shall be cast out as dung, and
there should be no man to comfort them. For the earth shall be wasted, and the
cities shall be cast down: there shall be no man left to till the earth and to
sew it. The trees shall give fruit, and who shall pluck them of and gather them?
The grapes shall be ripe, and who shall tread them: for all the places shall
be desolate of men, so that one man shall desire to see another, or to hear his
voice. For of one whole city there shall be ten left, and two in the field,
which shall hide themselves in the thick bushes, and in the cliffs of stones:
like as when there remain three or four olives upon the tree, or as when a
vineyard is gathered there are left some grapes, of them that diligently sought
through the vineyard.
Even so, in those days there shall be three or
four left, for them that search their houses with the sword. And the earth shall
be left waste, and the fields thereof shall wear old: and her ways and her paths
shall grow full of thorns, because no man shall travel there through. The
daughters shall mourn, having no bridegrooms: the women shall make
lamentation, having no husbands, their daughters shall mourn, having no help of
their bride groom. In the wars shall they be destroyed, and their husbands shall
perish of hunger. O' you servants of the Lord, hear these things, and mark them.
Behold, the word of the Lord, O' receive it: behold the plagues draw near, and
are not slack in tarrying. Like as a travailing woman, which after nine
months brings forth a son, when the hour of the birth is come, an hour two or
three before that the pains come upon her body, and when the child comes to the
birth, they tarry not the twinkling of an lie: Even so shall not the plagues be
slack to come upon the earth, and the world shall mourn, and sorrows shall come
upon it on every side.
O' my people, hear my word, make you ready to
the battle: and in all evil be as pilgrims upon the earth He that sells, let
him be as he that flys his way: and he that buys, as one that will lease. Who so
occupies merchandise, as he that wins not: and he that builds, as he that shall
not dwell therin: he that sows, as one that shall not reap: he that twists the
vineyard, as he that shall not gather the grapes: they that marry, as they that
shall get no children: and they that marry not, as the widows: and therefore
they that labor, labor in vain. For strangers shall reap their fruits, and spoil
their goods, overthrow their houses, and take their children captive, for in
captivity and hunger shall they get children. And they that occupy their
merchandise with robbery, how long deck they their cities, their houses, their
possessions, their persons? the more will I punish them for their sins, says the
Lord. Like as an whore envies an honest woman, so shall righteousness hate
iniquity, when she decks herself, and shall accuse her to her face, when he
comes that defends, which shall make inquisition for all sin upon the earth. And
therefore be not you like thereunto, near to the works thereof: for or ever it
be long, iniquity shall be taken away out of the earth, and righteousness shall
reign among you.
Let not the sinner say, that he has not sinned:
for coals of fire shall burn upon his head, which says before the Lord God and
his glory: I have not sinned. Behold, the Lord knows all the works of men, their
imaginations, their thoughts and their hearts. For he spoke but the word:
let the earth be made, and it was made: let the heaven be made, and it was made.
In his word were the stars made, and he knows the number of them. He searches
the ground of the deep, and the treasures thereof: he has measured the sea, and
what it containeth. He has shut the sea in the midst of the waters, and with his
word has he hanged the earth upon the waters. He spreads out the heaven like a *vawte,(vault
; from Mid Eng vaute: meaning an arched overhead covering) upon the
waters has he founded it. In the desert a dry wilderness has he made springs of
water, and poles upon the tops of mountains, that the floods might pour down
from the stony rocks to water the earth. He made man, and put his heart in the
midst of the body, and gave him birth, life and understanding, yes and the
spirit of the Almighty God, which made all things, and has searched the ground
of all the secrets of the earth.
He knows your imaginations and inventions, and
what you think when you sin, and would hide your sins. Therefore has the
Lord searched and sought out all your works, and he shall *bewray (disclose,
reveal, uncover) you all. And when your sins are brought forth, you
shall be ashamed before men, and your own sins shall be your accusers in that
day. What will you do? Or how will you hide your sins before God and his Angels?
Behold, God himself is the judge, fear him, leave off from your sins, and forget
your unrighteousness, and meddle no more with them: so shall God lead you forth,
and deliver you from all trouble. For behold, the heat of the great multitude is
kindled over you, and they shall take away certain of you, and feed the idle
with Idols: and they that consent unto them, shall be had in *derision. *laughed
to scorn, and trod under foot contempt
For unto the places there shall be a place, and
in the next cities a great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord. They
shall be like madmen, they shall spare no man: they shall spoil and waste such
as fear the Lord, their goods shall they take from them, and shut them out of
their houses. Then shall it be known who are my chosen, and they shall be tried
as the gold in the fire. Hear O' you my beloved, says the Lord: behold, the days
of trouble are at hand, but I will deliver you from the same. Be not afraid,
despair not, for God is your captain.
Who so keeps my commandments and precepts (says
the Lord God) let not your sins weigh you down, and let not your unrighteousness
be lift up. Woe be unto to those that are subdued unto their own sins, and
tangled in their wickednesses: like as a field is hedged in with bushes, and the
path thereof covered with thorns, that no man may travel through: and so is he
taken, and cast in the fire, and burnt.
There were tyrants in the world in those days. For after that the children of God had gone in unto the daughters of men, and had begotten them children, the same children were the mightiest of the world, and men of renown. And when the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was increased upon the earth, and that all the imagination and thoughts of his heart was only evil continually, he repented that he had made man upon the earth, and sorrowed in his heart. And said: I will destroy mankind which I have made, from off the face of the earth: both man, beast, worm and fowl of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them. But yet Noe found grace in the sight of the Lord.
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.
despisers of them which are good, traitors, heady, high minded,

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. *trow (think) *Zodom
(Sodom),
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.
