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 wonder 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 in the midst of utter darkness and there were thick clouds all round about ...swirling and churning and boiling as if an angry storm ...was about to appear ...
and i looked ...and was given TO SEE ...and there was a GATE like an IRON gate that no one ...no not any one could pass through ...
and of the many and most ...they stood and crowded at the gate shouting and moaning and pressing on and pushing at one another ...
even trying to climb one above another ...
Yet all that any of the most and many DID was OF NOTHING WORTH ...
and THAT for AGAIN there was NO GETTING ...AROUND OR THROUGH ...OR ABOVE OR OVER ...THE GATE ...
and suddenly a man appeared ...
and the appearing man loved God his father and Jesus his brother and Lord in spirit and truth.
and the appearing man was given to LOOK THROUGH the THICK STRONG BARS OF IRON ...
and upon the people OF AND ON ...THE OUTSIDE WISHING ...WANTING ...DEMANDING ...SHOUTING ...TO GET ...IN ... THROUGH THE GATE ...
and the appearing man was MOVED ...to GO UP TO THE GATE ...
even as he had been shown before ...
YET ...THIS TIME ...he was given to GO THROUGH THE GATE ...to the people on the other side ...
YET i say "through" the gate ...AND NOT AS IF THE GATE WAS OPEN ...(as if for the flesh to pass through...)
AND THAT ...FOR IT WAS NEEDS BE ...THAT THE appearing man pass though the IRON BARS WITHOUT HIS FLESH ...
FOR NOTHING OF THE FLESH COULD PASS THROUGH THE GATE. PERIOD
and the appearing man went about ON THE OTHER SIDE ...in the midst of the people witnessing and showing the people PLAINLY ...that NOTHING OF THE FLESH CAN PASS THROUGH THE GATE.
and the appearing man went back and forth through THE GATE ...again and again ...making and open show plainly and simply THAT AGAIN ...NOTHING OF THE FLESH ...NO NOT ONE THING ...ALLOWS ANY TO PASS THROUGH ...
and i looked and was astounded for there was shown the many and most ...even all and every each one of the multitude of ..all of the RELIGIOUS AND CHURCHLIE ...GATES
and the "gates" of the religious and churchLIE ness nests ...ALL were always ...ONLY their ways ...and "their" way "only". period
AND that ANY and ALL ..people IN AND OF ANY religion and or church or temple WERE STRICTLY TAUGHT ...that they could and would and were guaranteed to "GET INTO HEAVEN" THOUGH THAT RELIGIOUS AND OR CHURCHLIE GATE.
AND OH OH MY !!! the more devoted any one might be ..to their religious and churchlie "life" and to the doctrine and dogma and false profit sees ...OH oh ...OH MY !!! THEY were sure to be promoted in the religion AND have a "special place in heaven waiting for them" ...
even "saint hood !!! ...'' OH MY !!!
nevertheless as shown before ...NO ...NOT ONE OF THE RELIGIOUS OR CHURCHLIE "GATES" profit sighed of ANY OF THEM WOULD "OPEN "
even as though ALL THE "GATES" OF THE RELIGIOUSNESS ...sss AND CHURCHLIENESS ...ssss...WERE WELDED SHUT ...BY THE "CONSUMING FIRE"
and as the appearing man passed back and forth through THE GATE without his flesh ...showing all that NOTHING of THE FLESH can pass through ...
even as the WORD of God shows PLAINLY ...
even of our Dear Lord Jesus himself : BEING IN THE FLESH ...GAVE UP ...HIS FLESH ...WENT TO HEAVEN ...AND RETURNED AGAIN ...IN THE FLESH ...TO PROVE UP ...ETERNAL LIFE ...AND LIVING
IS NOT OF THE FLESH
AND THAT HEAVEN IS NOT WITH WAITING FOR. PERIOD

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. And they answered, and said unto him: where Lord? And he said unto
them: wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles resort. THE
GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 12 Either how can a man enter into a strong mans house, and violently take
away his goods: except he first bind the strong man, and then spoil his house?
He that is not with me, is against me. And he that gathereth not with me,
scattereth abroad. Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy
shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy of the spirit, shall not be
forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the son of man, it
shall be forgiven him. But whosoever speaketh against the holy ghost,
it shall not be forgiven him: no, neither in this world, neither
in the world to come. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good also: or
else make the tree evil, and his fruit evil also. For the tree is known by his
fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye say well, when ye yourselves are evil?
For of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the
good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things. And an evil man out of
his evil treasure, bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, that of every
idle word that men shall have spoken: they shall give accounts at the day of
judgement. For by thy words thou shalt be justified: and by thy words thou shalt
be condemned. Judge not, that you be not judged. For as you
judge so shall you be judged. And with what measure you *mete, with the same
shall it be measured to you again. Why see you a *mote in your brothers eye, and
perceive not the beam in your own eye? Or why say you to your brother: suffer me
to pluck out the mote out of your eye, and behold a beam is in your own eye.
Hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye, and then shall you see
clearly to pluck out the mote out of your brothers eye. Therefore
whatsoever you would that men should do to you, even so do you to them. This is
the law and the Prophets. *mete:
what ever is used to measure, *mote: a speck. *astonied: astounded, astonished. The 25th Chapter Then
the kingdom of heaven shall be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps,
and went to meet the bridegroom: five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
The foolish took their lamps, but took none oil with them. But the wise took oil
with them in their vessels with their lamps also. While the bridegroom tarried,
all slumbered and slept. And even at midnight, there was a cry made: behold, the
bridegroom comes, go out against him. Then all those virgins arose, and prepared
their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise: give us of your oil, for our
lamps go out. But the wise answered saying: Not so, least there be not enough
for us and you: but go rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And
while they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in
with him to the wedding, and the gate was shut up. Afterwards came also the
other virgins saying: Master, master, open to us. But he answered and said:
verily I say unto you: I know not you. Watch therefore: for you know neither the
day not yet the hour, when the son of man shall come. *strawedst

GOSPELL OF ST. JOHN Chpt 6 Verily, verily I say unto you, he that
believeth on me, hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers
did eat Manna in the wilderness and are dead? This is that bread which cometh
from heaven that he which eateth of it, should also not die. I am that living
bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live
forever. And the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the
life of the world. The
Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him
that condemeth the innocent. THE
GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 12 I am come to send fire on earth: and what is
my desire, but that it were already kindled? Notwithstanding I must be baptised
with a baptism: and how am I pained till it be ended? Suppose ye that I am
come to send peace on earth? I tell you nay, but rather debate. For from
henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two
against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son
against the father. The mother against the daughter, and the daughter against
the mother. The mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in
law against her mother in law. THE
GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 23 And there
were two evil doers led with him to be slain. And when they were come to the
place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the evil doers, one
on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus: father
forgive them, for they *wot not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and
cast lots. And the people stood and beheld. So I turned me, lifting up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, a
flying book. And he said unto me: what seest thou? I answered: I see a flying
book of twenty cubits long, and ten cubits broad. Then said he unto me: This is
the curse, that goeth forth over the whole earth: for all thieves shall be
judged after this book, and all swearers shall be judged according to the same,
I will bring it forth ( saith the Lord of hosts ) so that it shall come to the
house of the thief, and to the house of him, that falsely sweareth by my name:
and shall remain in his house, and shall consume it, with the timber and stones
thereof. Then the angel that talked with me, went forth, and said unto me:
lift up thine eyes and see what this is that goeth forth. And I said: what is
it? He answered: this is a measure going out. He said moreover: Even thus are
they ( that dwell upon the whole earth ) to look upon. And behold, there was
lifted up a talent of lead: and lo, a woman sat in the midst of the measure. And
he said: This is ungodliness. So he cast her into the midst of the measure,
and threw the lump of lead up in to an whole. 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

GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 25 When the son of man cometh in his glory, and all the holy
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his glory, and before him
shall be gathered all nations. And he shall separate them one from
another, as a shepherd divideth the sheep from the goats. And he shall
set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left. Then shall the
King say to them on his right hand: Come ye blessed children of my father,
inherit ye the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world. For I
was an hungered, and ye gave me meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me drink. I was
harborless, and ye lodged me. I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sick and ye
visited me. I was in prison and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer
him saying: master, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or a thirst, and
gave thee drink? when saw we thee harborless, and lodged thee? or naked and
clothed thee? or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto thee? And the
king shall answer and say unto them: Verily I say unto you: in as much as ye
have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me. The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly,
as him that condemeth the innocent. For
this cause God gave them up unto shameful lusts. THE
SECOND TO THE CORINTHIANS Chpt 11 If the truth of
Christ be in me, this rejoicing shall not be taken from me in the regions of
Achaia. Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth. Nevertheless what I do,
that will I do, to cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they
might be found like unto us in that wherein they rejoice. For these false
apostles are deceitful workers, and fashion them selves like unto the Apostles
of Christ. And no marvel, for Satan himself is changed into the fashion of an
angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers fashion
them selves as though they were the ministers of righteousness: whose end shall
be according to their deeds. Let as many servants as
are under the yoke, count their masters worthy of all honour, that the name of
God and his doctrine be not evil spoken of. See that they which have believing
masters, despise them not because they are brethren: but so much the rather do
service, for as much as they are believing and beloved and partakers of the
benefits. Charge them that are
rich in this world, that they be not exceeding wise, and that they trust not in
the uncertain riches, but in the living God,
which giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy them, and that they do good, and
be rich in good works, and ready to give and to distribute, laying up in store
for themselves a good foundation against the time to come that they may obtain
eternal life. The Lord hateth as well him that
justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent. Therefore holy brethren, partakers of the celestial callings consider the
ambassador and high priest of our profession Christ Jesus, which was faithful to
him that made him, even as was Moses in all his house. And yet was this man
counted worthy of more glory than Moses: In as much as he which hath prepared
the house, hath most honour in the house. Every house is prepared of some man.
But he that ordained all things, is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all
his house, as a minister, to bear witness of those things which should be spoken
afterward. But Christ as a son, hath rule over the house, whose
house are we, so
that we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of that hope, unto the end. 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
ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Chpt 17 Paul stood in the midst of Marce street and said: ye men of Athens, I
perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by and
beheld the manner how ye worship your gods, I found an altar wherein was
written: unto the unknown God. Whom ye then ignorantly worship him show I unto
you: God that made the world and all that are in it, seeing that he is Lord of
heaven and earth, he dwelleth not in temples made with hands, neither is
worshipped with mens hands, as though he needed of any thing,
seeing he himself giveth life and breath to all men everywhere, and hath made of
one blood all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and
hath assigned before, how long time, and also the ends of their inhabitation,
that they should seek God, if they might feel and find him, though he be not far
from every one of us. For in him we live, move and have your being, as certain
of your own Poets said. For we are also his generation. For as much then as we
are the generation of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto
gold, silver or stone, graven by craft and imagination of man. THE
GOSPELL OF ST. MARK Chpt 14 And the high Priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesu, to
put him to death and found none. Yet many bare false witness against him, but
their witness agreed not together. And there arose certain and brought false
witness against him, saying. We heard him say: I will destroy this temple
made with hands, and within three days I will
build another, made without hands. But their witness agreed not together. THE
GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 4 Jesus then full of the holy ghost returned from Jordan, and was carried
of the spirit into wilderness, and was forty days tempted of the devil.
And in those days ate he nothing. And when they were ended, he after ward
hungered. And the devil said unto him: if thou be the son of God command this
stone that it be bread. And Jesus answered him saying: It is written, man shall
not live by bread only, but by every word of God. THE
REVELATION OF ST JOHN THE DIVINE Chpt 12 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 These are the words that God spake unto Jeremie: Stand under the
gates of the Lords house, and cry out these words there, with a loud voice, and
say: Hear the word of the Lord all ye of Judah, that go in this door, to honor
the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts the God of Israel. Amend your ways and
your counsels, and I will let you dwell in this place. Trust not in the false
lying words, saying: here is the temple of the Lord, here is the temple of the
Lord, here is the temple of the Lord.The
Gospel of St Matthew 7
Give not that which is holy, to dogs, neither cast
you your pearls before swine, least they tread them under their feet, and the
other turn again and all to rent you.
Ask and it shall be given you. Seek and you shall
find. Knock and it shall be opened unto you. For whosoever asks receives, and he
that seeks finds and to him that knocks it shall be opened. Is there any man
among you which if his son asked him bread, would offer him a stone? Or if he
asked fish, would he proffer him a serpent? If you then which are evil, can give
to your children good gifts how much more shall your father which is in heaven
give good things to them that ask him?
Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way that leads to destruction: and many there be which go in
thereat. But strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leads unto life:
and few there be that find it. Beware of false Prophets, which come to you in
sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. you shall know them by
their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns? Or figs of briars? Even so every
good tree brings forth good fruit. But a corrupt tree, brings forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit: nor yet a bad tree can bring forth
good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit, shall be hewn down, and
cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
Not all they that say unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter in to the kingdom of heaven: but he that does my fathers will which is in
heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not in your name
Prophesied? And in your name have cast out devils? And in your name have done
many miracles? And then will I knowledge unto them that I never knew them.
Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.
Whosoever hears of me these sayings and does the
same, I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house on a rock: and
abundance of rain descended, and the floods came and the winds blew and beat
upon that same house, and it fell not, because it was grounded on the rock. And
whosoever hears of me these sayings and does them not, shall be likened unto a
foolish man which built his house upon the land: and abundance of rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and
it fell, and great was the fall of it. And it came to pass, that when Jesus had
ended these sayings, the people were *astonied at his doctrine. For he taught
them as one having power, and not as the scribes.The
Gospel of St Matthew
Likewise as a certain man ready to take his
journey to a strange country, called his servants and delivered to them his
goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two and to another one: to
every man after his ability, and straight way departed. Then he that had
received the five talents, went and bestowed them, and won other five talents.
Likewise he that received two, gained other two. But he that received the one,
went and digged a pit in the earth, and hid his masters money. After a long
season the Lord of those servants came and reckoned with them. Then came he that
had received five talents, and brought other five talents saying: master, you
delivered unto me five talents: behold I have gained with them five talents
more. Then his master said unto him: well good servant and faithful. You have
been faithful in little, I will make you ruler over much: enter in into your
masters joy. Also he that received two talents, came and said: master, you
delivered unto me two talents: behold, I have won two other talents with them.
And his master said unto him, well good servant and faithful. You have been
faithful in little, I will make you ruler over much, go in into your masters
joy.
Then he which had received the one talent came and
said: master, I considered that you was an hard man, which reap where you sowed
not, and gatherest where you *strawedst not, and was therefore afraid, and went
and hid your talent in the earth: Behold, you have your own. His master answered
and said unto him: you evil servant and slothful, you knew that I reap where I
sowed not and gather where I strawed not: you ought therefore to have had my
money to the changers, and then at my coming should I have received mine own
with vantage. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which has
ten talents. For unto every man that has shall be given, and he shall have
abundance, and from him that has not, shall be taken away, even that he has. And
cast that unprofitable servant into utter darkness: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
When the son of man comes in his glory, and all
the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his glory, and
before him shall be gathered all nations. And he shall separate them one from
another, as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats. And he shall set the
sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left. Then shall the King say to
them on his right hand: Come you blessed children of my father, inherit you the
kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world. For I was an hungered,
and you gave me meat. I thirsted, and you gave me drink. I was harborless, and
you lodged me. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I
was in prison and you came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him saying:
master, when saw we you an hungered, and fed you? or a thirst, and gave you
drink? when saw we you harborless, and lodged you? or naked and clothed you? or
when saw we you sick or in prison and came unto you? And the king shall answer
and say unto them: Verily I say unto you: in as much as you have done it unto
one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it to me.
Then shall the king say unto them that shall be on
the left hand: depart from me you cursed, into everlasting fire: which is
prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was an hungered, and you gave me no
meat. I thirsted, and you gave me no drink. I was harborless, and you lodged me
not. I was naked, and you clothed me not. I was sick and in prison, and you
visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him saying: master,
when saw we you an hungered, or a thirst, or harborless, or naked, or sick, or
in prison, and did not minister unto you? Then shall he answer them and say:
Verily I say unto you, in as much as you did it not to one of the least of
these, you did it not to me. And these shall go into everlasting pain: And the
righteous into life eternal.
And the Jewes strove among themselves
saying: How can this fellow give us his flesh to eat? Then Jesus said unto
them: Verily, verily I say unto you, except ye eat the flesh of the son of man,
and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you. Whosoever eateth my
flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life: and I will raise him up at the
last day. For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that
eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me and I in him. As the
living father hath sent me, even so live I by my father: and he that eateth me
shall live by me. This is the bread which came from heaven: not as your fathers
have eaten Manna and are dead. He that eateth of this bread, shall live ever.
These things said he in the synagogue as he
taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples: when they had heard
this, said: this is an hard saying: who can abide the hearing of it? Jesus knew
in himself, that his disciples murmured at it, and said unto them: Doth this
offend you? What and if ye shall see the son of man ascend up where he was
before? It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. The
words that I speak unto you, are spirit and life. But there are some of you that
believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, which they were that
believed not, and who should betray him. And he said: Therefore said I unto you:
that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my father.
From that time many of his disciples went
back and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus to the twelve: will ye
also go away? Then Simon Peter answered: Master to whom shall we go? Thou hast
the words of eternal life, and we believe and know that thou art Christ the son
of the living God. Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve, and yet
one of you is the devil? He spake it of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon. For he
it was that should betray him, and was one of the twelve
Then said he to the people: when ye see a
cloud rise out of the west straight way ye say: we shall have a shower, and so
it is. And when ye se the south wind blow, ye say: we shall have heat, and it
cometh to pass. Hypocrites, ye can skill of the fashion of the earth, and of
the sky: but what is the cause, that ye cannot skill of this time? Ye and why
judge ye not of yourselves what is right?
And the rulers mocked him with them saying
he help other men, let him help himself, if he be Christ the chosen of God. The
soldiers also mocked him, and came and gave him vinegar and said: if thou be
that king of the Jews save thy self. And his superscription was written over
him, in Greek, in Latin, and Hebreu: This is the king of the Jews.
And one of the evil doers which hanged,
railed on him saying: If thou be Christ save thy self and us. The other answered
and rebuked him saying, Neither fearest thou God because thou art in the same
damnation? We are righteously punished, for we receive according to our deeds:
But this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus: Lord remember me
when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him: Verily I say unto
thee, today shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
Then lift up I mine eyes, and looked: and behold,
there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings ( for they had
wings like the wings of a stork ) and they lifted up the measure between the
earth and the heaven. Then spake I to the angel that talked with me: whither
will these bare the measure? And he said unto me: in to the land of Sinear, to
build them an house: which when it is prepared, the measure shall be set there
in his place
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?
*Fie for shame, how abominable things do
they? and yet they be not ashamed, yee they know no shame.
Wherefore in the time of their visitation,
they shall fall among dead bodies, sayeth the Lord.
Then shall the king say unto them that
shall be on the left hand: depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire:
which is prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was an hungered, and
ye gave me no meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me no drink. I was harborless, and
ye lodged me not. I was naked, and ye clothed me not. I was sick and in prison,
and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him saying:
master, when saw we thee an hungered, or a thirst, or harborless, or naked, or
sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them
and say: Verily I say unto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least
of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go into everlasting pain: And the
righteous into life eternal
These things teach and exhort. If any man
teach otherwise, and is not content with the wholesome words of our Lord Jesu
Christ, and with the doctrine of godliness, he is puffed up and knoweth nothing:
but wasteth his brains about questions and strife of words, whereof spring
envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings and vain disputations of men with
corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, which think that lucre is
godliness. From such separate thyself. Godliness is great riches, if
a man be content with that he hath. For we brought nothing into the world, and
it is a plain case that we can carry nothing out.
When we have food and raiment, let us
therewith be content. They that will be rich, fall into temptation and snares,
and into many foolish and noisome lusts, which drown men in perdition and
destruction. For covetousness is root of all evil, which while some lusted
after, they errored from the faith, and tangled themselves with many sorrows.
But thou which art the man of God, fly such things. Follow righteousness,
godliness, love, patience and meekness. Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hand
on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast professed a good profession
before many witnesses.
I give thee charge in the sight of God,
which quickeneth all things, and before Jesu Christ which under Pontius Pilate
witnessed a good witnessing, that thou keep the commandment, and be without spot
and unrebukable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which appearing
(when the time is come) he shall show that is blessed and mighty only, king of
kings, and lord of lords, which only hath immortality, and dwelleth in light
that no man can attain, whom never man saw, neither can see, unto whom be honour
and rule everlasting. Amen.
O' Timothy save that which is given thee to
keep, and avoid unghostly vanities of voices and oppositions of science falsely
so called, which science while some professed, they have errored as concerning
the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen
Wherefore as the *holy ghost saith: today
if ye shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, after the rebellion in the
day of temptation in the wilderness, where your fathers tempted me, proved me,
and saw my works forty years long. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation
and said: They *erre ever in their hearts: they verily have not known my ways so
that I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest. Take heed
brethren that there be in none of you an evil heart in unbelief, that he should
depart from the living God: but exhort one another daily, while it is called
today, lest any of you wax hard hearted through the deceitfulness of sin.
We are partakers of Christ if we keep sure
unto the end the first substance, so long as it is said: today if ye hear his
voice, harden not your hearts, as when ye rebelled. For some, when they heard,
rebelled: how be it not all that came out of Egypt under Moses. But with whom
was he displeased forty years? Was he not displeased with them that sinned whose
carcasses were overthrown in the desert? To whom sware he that they should not
enter into his rest: but unto them that believed not? And we see that they
could not enter in, because of unbelief.
Whosoever heareth of me these sayings and
doeth the same, I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house on a
rock: and abundance of rain descended, and the floods came and the winds blew
and beat upon that same house, and it fell not, because it was grounded
on the rock. And whosoever heareth of me these sayings and doth them not, shall
be likened unto a foolish man which built his house upon the land: and abundance
of rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that
house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had
ended these sayings, the people were *astonied at his doctrine. For he taught
them as one having power, and not as the scribes
And the time of this ignorance God regarded
not. but now he biddeth all men everywhere repent, because he hath appointed a
day, in the which he will judge the world according to righteousness, by that
man whom he hath appointed, and hath offered faith to all men, after that he had
raised him from death.
And the highest Priest stood up amongst
them, and asked Jesus saying: answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear
witness against thee? And he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the
highest Priest asked him, and said unto him: Art thou Christ the son of the
blessed? And Jesus said: I am. And ye shall see the son of man sit on the right
hand of power, and come in the clouds of heaven. Then the highest priest rent
his clothes and said: what need we any further of witness? Ye have heard the
blasphemy, what think ye? And they all gave sentence that he was worthy of
death. And some began to spit at him, and to cover his face, and to beat him
with fists, and to say unto him, *arede unto us. And the servants buffeted him
on the face.
And the devil took him up into an high
mountain, and showed him all the kingdom of the world, even in the twinkling of
an eye. And the devil said unto him: all this power will I give thee every *whit
and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me, and to whosoever I will, I
give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, they shall be all thine. Jesus
answered him and said: hence from me Satan. For it is written: Thou shalt honour
the Lord thy God, and him only serve.
And he carried him to Jerusalem, and set
him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him:
If thou be the son of God, cast thyself down from hence. For it is written, he
shall give his Angels charge over thee to keep thee, and with their hands they
shall stay thee up that thou dash not thy foot against a stone. Jesus answered
and said to him, it is said: thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. As soon as
the devil had ended all his temptations, he departed from him, for a season.
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
*stonde: two possible words come from the Middle English: stound: meaning "a short time" and stonen: meaning "stunned". stunned because of the vision
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. JOHN Chpt 3
For God so loveth the world, that he hath given his only son, that none that believe in him, should perish: but should have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world, to condemn the world: but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him, shall not be condemned. But he that believeth not, is condemned all ready, because he believeth not in the name of the only son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and the men loved darkness more than light, because their deeds were evil. For every man that evil doeth, hateth the light: neither cometh to light lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doth truth, cometh to the light that his deeds might be known, how that they are wrought in God.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 10
And fear ye
not them which kill the body, and be not able to kill the soul. But
rather fear him, which is able to destroy both soul and body into hell. Are not
two sparrows sold for a farthing? And none of them doth light on the ground,
without your father. And now are all the hairs of your heads numbered. Fear ye
not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Whosoever therefore shall knowledge me
before men, him will I knowledge also before my father which is in heaven. But
whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my father which
is in heaven.
Think not, that I am come to send peace
into the earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set
a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and
the daughter in law against her mother in law: And a mans foes shall be they of
his own household.
He that loveth his father, or mother more
than me, is not meet for me. And he that loveth his son, or daughter more than
me, is not meet for me. And he that taketh not his cross and followeth me, is
not meet for me. He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his
life for my sake, shall find it.
He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and
he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a
Prophet in the name of a Prophet, shall receive a Prophets reward. And he that
receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive the
reward of a righteous man. And whosoever shall give unto one of these little
ones to drink, a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple: I tell you
of a truth, he shall not lose his reward
THE SECOND EPISTLE OF ST. PETER Chpt 2
There were false Prophets among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you: which privily shall bring in damnable sects, even denying the Lord that hath bought them, and bring upon themselves swift damnation, and many shall follow their damnable ways, by which the way of truth shall be evil spoken of, and through covetousness shall they with *feigned words make merchandise of you, whose judgment is not far off, and their damnation sleepeth not.
The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom, shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
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.
TRUE WORD...Oseas (thats Hosea chp 8 :14 for you kjv folks)
The Lord will have no
pleasure therin: but will remember their wickednesses, and punish their sins.
Israel turneth again into Egypt,
These are the words that God spake unto Jeremie: Stand under the gates of the Lords house, and cry out these words there, with a loud voice, and say: Hear the word of the Lord all ye of Judah, that go in this door, to honor the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts the God of Israel. Amend your ways and your counsels, and I will let you dwell in this place. Trust not in the false lying words, saying: HERE IS THE TEMPLE of the Lord, HERE IS THE TEMPLE of the Lord, HERE IS THE TEMPLE of the Lord.
Are ye not aware that YE ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD, and how that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive him self. If any man seem wise among you, let him be a fool in this world, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: he compasses the wise in their craftiness. And again, God knoweth the thoughts of the wise that they be vain. Therefore let no man rejoice in men. For all things are yours, whether it be Paul, either Apollos, either Cephas: whether it be the world, or life, either death, whether they be present things or things to come: all are yours: and ye are Christs, and Christ is Gods
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Chpt 17
Paul stood in the
midst of Marce street and said: ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things
ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by and beheld the manner how ye
worship your gods, I found an altar wherein was written: unto the unknown God.
Whom ye then ignorantly worship him show I unto you: God that made the world and
all that are in it, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, he dwelleth
not in temples made with hands, neither is worshipped
with mens hands, as though he needed of any thing, seeing he himself giveth life
and breath to all men everywhere, and hath made of one blood all nations of men,
for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath assigned before, how
long time, and also the ends of their inhabitation, that they should seek God,
if they might feel and find him, though he be not far from every one of us. For
in him we live, move and have your being, as certain of your own Poets said. For
we are also his generation. For as much then as we are the generation of God, we
ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, silver or stone, graven
by craft and imagination of man.
And the time of this ignorance God regarded
not. but now he biddeth all men everywhere repent, because he hath appointed a
day, in the which he will judge the world according to righteousness, by that
man whom he hath appointed, and hath offered faith to all men, after that he had
raised him from death.
Let no
man therefore trouble your consciences about meat and drink or for a
piece of an holy day, as the holy day of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days,
which are nothing but shadows of things to come: but the body is in Christ. Let
no man make you shoot at a wrong mark which after his own imagination walketh in
the humbleness and holiness of angels, things which he never saw: causeless
puffed up with his fleshly mind, and holdeth not the head, whereof all the body
by joints and couples receiveth nourishment and is knit together, and increaseth
with the increasing that cometh of God.
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from
ordinances of the world, why as though ye yet lived in the world, are ye led
with traditions of them that say? Touch not, taste not, handle not: which all
perish with the using of them and are after the commandments and doctrines of
men: which things have the similitude of wisdom in chosen holiness and
humbleness, and in that they spare not the body, and do the flesh no worship
unto his need
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 9
And the sixth Angel blew, and I heard a voice from the four corners of the golden altar, which is before God, saying to the sixth angel, which had the trumpet: Loose the four Angels, which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four Angels were loosed which were prepared for an hour, for a day, for a month, and for a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of horsemen of war, were twenty times ten thousand. And I heard the number of them: And thus I saw the horses in a vision, and them that sat on them having fiery habergeons of a Jacinth colour, and brimstone, and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions. And out of their mouths went forth fire and smoke and brimstone. And of these three was the third part of men killed: that is to say, of fire, smoke, and brimstone, which proceeded out of the mouths of them: For their power was in their mouths and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they did hurt: And the remnant of the men which were not killed by these plagues, repented not of the deeds of their hands that they should not worship devils, and images of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood, which neither can see, neither hear, neither go. Also they repented not of their murder, and of their sorcery neither of their fornication neither of their theft.
Remember ye not
brethren (I speak to them that know the law) how that the law hath power over a
man as long as it endureth? For the woman which is in subjection to a man, is
bound by the law to the man, as long as he liveth. If the man be dead, she is
loosed from the law of the man. So then if while the man liveth she couple
herself with another man, she shall be counted a wedlock breaker. But if the man
be dead, she is free from the law: so that she is no wedlock breaker, though she
couple herself with another man.
Even so ye my brethren, are dead concerning
the law by the body of Christ, that ye should be coupled to another (I mean to
him that is risen again from death) that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
For when we were in the flesh, the lusts of sin which were stirred up by the law
reigned in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death. But now are we
delivered from the law and dead from that whereunto we were in bondage that we
should serve in a new conversation of the spirit, and not in the old
conversation of the letter.
What shall we say then? is the law sin?. God
forbid: but I knew not what sin meant but by the law. For I had not known what
lust had meant, except the law had said, thou shalt not lust. But sin took an
occasion by the means of the commandment and wrought in me all manner of
*concupiscence. For verily without the law, sin was dead. I once lived without
law. But when the commandment came, sin revived, and I was dead. And the very
same commandment which was ordained unto life, was found to be unto me an
occasion of death. For sin took occasion by the means of the commandment, and so
deceived me, and by the self commandment slew me. Wherefore the law is holy, and
the commandment holy, just and good.
Was that then which is good, made death unto
me? God forbid. Nay sin was death unto me, that it might appear, how that sin by
the means of that which is good, had wrought death in me: that sin which is
under the commandment, might be out of measure sinful. For we know that the law
is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin, because I *wot not what I do. For
what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I. If I do now that which
I would not, I grant to the law that it is good. So then now, it is not I that
do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is to say in my
flesh) dwelleth no good thing. To will is present with me: but I find no means
to perform that which is good. For I do not that good thing which I would but
that evil do I, which I would not. Finally if I do that I would not, then is it
not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me, doeth it. I find then by the law
that when I would do good, evil is present with me. I delight in the law of God,
concerning the inner man. But I see another law in my members rebelling against
the law of my mind, and subduing me unto the law of sin, which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am: who shall deliver me from this body of death? I
thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself in my mind serve
the law of God, and in my flesh the law of sin
*concupiscence:
strong desire; lust of the flesh, lust of the eye and/or pride of goods.
*wot (know)
What shall we say
then? Shall we continue in sin, that there may be abundance of grace? God
forbid. How shall we that are dead as touching sin, live any longer therein?
Remember ye not that all we which are baptised in the name of *Jesu Christ are
baptised to die with him? We are buried with him by baptism, for to die, that
likewise as Christ was raised up from death by the glory of the father even so
we also should walk in a new life. For if we be graft in death like unto him:
even so must we be in the resurrection. This we must remember that our old man
is crucified with him also, that the body of sin might utterly be destroyed,
that henceforth we should not be servants of sin. For he that is dead, is
justified from sin.
Wherefore if we be dead with Christ, we
believe that we shall live with him: remembering that Christ once raised from
death, dieth no more. death hath no more power over him. For as touching
that he died, he died concerning sin, once. And as touching that he liveth, he
liveth unto God. Likewise imagine ye also, that ye are dead concerning sin but
are alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin reign therefore in
your mortal bodies, that ye should thereunto obey in the lusts of it. Neither
give ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but give
yourselves unto God as they that are alive from death. And give your members as
instruments of righteousness unto God. Let not sin have power over you. For ye
are not under the law, but under grace.
What then? Shall we sin, because we are not
under the law: but under grace? God forbid. Remember ye not how that to
whomsoever ye commit your selves as servants to obey: his servants ye are to
whom ye obey: whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto
righteousness? God be thanked, that though ye were once the servants of sin, ye
have yet obeyed with heart unto the form of doctrine whereunto ye were
delivered. Ye are then made free from sin, and are become the servants of
righteousness.
I will speak grossly because of the
infirmity of your flesh. As ye have given your members servants to uncleanness
and to iniquity, from iniquity unto iniquity: even so now give your members
servants unto righteousness, that ye may be sanctified. For when ye were
servants of sin, ye were not under righteousness. What fruit had ye then in
those things, whereof ye are now ashamed. For the end of those things is death.
But now are ye delivered from sin, and made the servants of God, and have your
fruit that ye should be sanctified, and the end everlasting life. For the reward
of sin is death: but eternal life is the gift of God, through Jesus Christ our
Lord
*Jesu: Jesus from the Hebrew
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 2
And unto the Angel of the congregation of Smyrna write: These things saith he that is first, and the last, which was dead and is alive. I know thy works and tribulation and poverty, but thou art rich: And I know the blasphemy of them which call themselves Jewes and are not: but are the congregation of *Sathan. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil shall cast of you into prison, to tempt you, and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Let him that hath ears hear, what the spirit saith to the congregations: He that overcometh, shall not be hurt of the second death.
The 24th Chapter
And
Jesus went out and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him, for
to show him the building of the temple. Jesus said unto them: see you not all
these things? Verily I say unto you: there shall not be here left one stone upon
another, that shall not be cast down.
And as he sat upon the mount Olivet, his disciples
came unto him secretly saying. Tell us when these things shall be: and what
sign shall be of your coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus
answered, and said unto them: take heed that no man deceive you. For many
shall come in my name saying: I am Christ: and shall deceive many. you shall
hear of wars, and of the fame of wars: but see that you be not troubled. For
all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall
rise against nation, and realm against realm: and there shall be pestilence,
hunger and earthquakes in all quarters. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they put you to trouble, and shall kill
you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my names sake. And then shall
many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one the other.
And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many. And because
iniquity shall have the upper hand, the love of many shall abate. But he that
endures to the end, the same shall be safe. And this glad tidings of the
kingdom: shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations: and
then shall the end come.
When you therefore shall see the abomination that
betokens desolation, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, stand in the holy place:
let him that reads it, understand it. Then let them which be in *Jury, fly into
the mountains. And let him which is on the house top, not come down to fetch
anything out of his house. Neither let him which is in the field, return back to
fetch his clothes. Woe shall be in those days to them that are with child, and
to them that give suck. But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither
on the Sabbath day. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from
the beginning of the world to this time, nor shall be. you and except those days
should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the chosens sake,
those days shall be shortened.
Then if any man shall say unto you: lo, here is
Christ, or there is Christ: believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs,
and false prophets, and shall do great miracles and wonders. In so much
that if it were possible, the very elect should be deceived.
Take heed, I have told you before.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you: behold he is in the desert, go not forth:
behold he is in the secret places, believe not. For as the lightning comes
out of the East and shines unto the west: so shall the coming of the son of man
be. For wheresoever a dead carcass is, even over
there will the eagles resort.
Immediately after the tribulations of those days, shall the sun be darkened: and
the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the
powers of heaven shall move. And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in
heaven. And then shall all the kindreds of the earth mourn, and they shall see
the son of man come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he
shall send his Angels with the great voice of a trumpet, and they shall gather
together his chosen, from the four winds, and from the one end of the world to
the other.
Learn a similitude of the fig tree: when his
branches are yet tender and his leaves sprung, you know that summer is nigh. So
likewise ye, when you see all these things, be you sure that it is near, even at
the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass till
all these be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall perish, but my words shall
abide. But of that day and hour knows no man, no not the angels of heaven,
but my father only.
As the time of Noe was, so likewise shall the
coming of the son of man be. For as in the days before the flood: they did
eat and drink, marry, and were married, even unto the day that Noe entered in to
the ship, and knew of nothing, till the flood came and took them all away: So
shall also the coming of the son of man be. Then two shall be in the fields, the
one shall be received, and the other shall be refused, two shall be grinding at
the mill the one shall be received, and the other shall be refused. Wake
therefore, because you know not what hour your master will come. Of this be
sure, that if the good man of the house knew what hour the thief would come: he
would surely watch, and not suffer his house to be broken up. Therefore be you
also ready, for in the hour you think he would not: will the son of man come. If
there be any faithful servant and wise, whom his master has made ruler over his
household to give them meat in season convenient, happy is that servant whom his
master (when he comes) shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, he shall make
him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his
heart, my master will defer his coming, and begin to smite his fellows, you and
to eat and to drink with the drunken: that servants master will come in a day
when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not ware of, and will
divide him, and give him his reward with hypocrites. There shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.
*Jury (Jewry) : exact spelling was Jury
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.
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying: Thou son of
man, turn thy face toward Gog in the land of Magog, which is the chief
prince of Mesech and Tubal: prophesy against him, and say: Thus saith the Lord
God: O Gog thou chief prince Mesech and Tubal: behold, I will upon thee, and
will turn you about, and put a bit in thy *chawes: I will bring thee forth and
all thine host, both horse and horsemen, which all be weaponed of the best
fashion: a great people, that handle all together spears, shields, and swords:
The Perses, Moryans, and with them the Lybians which all bear shields and
helmets: Gomer and all his hosts: the house of Thogorma out of the north
quarters, and all his hosts, yee and much people with thee.
Therefore prepare thee, set thyself in array
with all thy people, that are come unto thee by heaps, and be thou their
defense. After many days thou shalt be visited, and in the latter years thou
shalt come into the land, that hath been destroyed with the sword, and now is
replenished again with diverse people upon the mountains of Israel, which have
long lain waste. Yee they be brought out of the nations, and dwell all safe.
Thou shalt come up like a stormy weather, to cover the land, and as it were a
dark cloud: thou with all thine hosts, and a great multitude of people with
thee.
Moreover, thus saith the Lord God: At the
same time shall many things come into thy mind, so that thou shalt imagine
mischief, and say: I will up to yonder plain land, seeing they sit at ease, and
dwell all without any walls, they have neither bars nor doors, to spoil them, to
rob them, to lay hand to their so well inhabited wildernesses: against that
people, that is gathered together from among the Heathen, which have gotten
cattle and good, and dwell in the midest of the land. Then shall Saba, and Dedan,
and the merchants of Tharsis with all their worthies, say unto thee: Art thou
come to rob? Hast thou gathered thy people together, because thou wilt spoil? to
take silver and gold: to carry away cattle and goods: and to have great prey?
Therefore, O thou son of man, thou shalt
prophesy, and say unto Gog: Thus saith the Lord God: In that day thou shalt
know, that my people of Israel dwelleth safe: and thou shalt come from thy place
out of the north parts: thou and much people with thee, which ride upon horses,
whereof there is a great multitude and an innumerable forte. Yee thou shalt come
upon my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land. This shall come to pass
in the latter days: I will bring thee up into my land, that the Heathen may know
me, when I get me honor upon thee O Gog, before their eyes.
Thus saith the Lord God: Thou art he, of
whom I have spoken in afore time, by my servants the prophets of Israel, which
prophesied in those days and years, that I should bring thee upon them. At the
same time, when Gog cometh up in to the land of Israel, (saith the Lord God )
shall my indignation go forth in my wrath. For in my jealousy and hot
displeasure I have devised , that there shall be a great trouble in the land of
Israel at that time. The very fishes in the sea, the fowls of the air, the
beasts of the field, and all the men that are upon the earth, shall tremble for
fear of me.
The hills also shall be turned upside down,
the stairs of stone shall fall, and all walls shall sink to the ground: I will
call for a sword upon them in all my mountains, saith the Lord God: so that
every mans sword shall be upon another. With pestilence and blood will I punish
him: stormy rain and hail stones, fire and brimstone, will I cause to rain upon
him and all his heap, yee and upon all that great people that is with him.
Thus will I be magnified, honored, and known among the Heathen:
that they may be sure, how that I am the Lord

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.
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle,
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 ...

The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.

THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 1
The second book of the prophet Esdras ( the son of Saraias,
the son of Azarias the son of Neichia, the son of Sallum, the son of Sadoc, the
son of Achitou, the son of *Amerias, the son of Azarias, the son of Maraioth,
the son of Sahias, the son of Uzi, the son of Boccus, the son of Abisu, the son
of Phineas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, of the tribe of Levi ) which
was prisoner in the land of the Meedes, in the reign of Artaxerses king of
Persia.
And the word of the Lord came unto me,
saying : go thy way, and show my people their sinful deeds, and their children
their wickednesses, which they have done against me, that they may tell their
childrens children the same: for the sins of their fathers are increased in
them. And why they have forgotten me, and have offered unto strange gods. Am not
I even he, that brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage: But they have provoked me unto wrath, and despised my counsels. Pull
thou out then the heart of thy head, and call all evil over them, for they have
not been obedient to my law.
This is a people with out learning and
nurture. How long shall I forebear them, unto whom I have done so much good:
Many kings have I destroyed for their sakes: Pharo with his servants and all his
power have I smitten down and slayen: All the nations have I destroyed and
rooted out before them, and in the East I brought two lands and people to nought,
even Tyre and Sidon, and have slayen all their enemies. Speak thou therefore
unto them, saying: Thus sayeth the Lord: I lead you through the sea, and have
given you sure streets since the beginning. I gave you Moses to be your captain,
and Arron to be the priest: I gave you light in a pillar of fire, and great
wonders have I done among you: yet have ye forgotten me, sayeth the Lord.
Thus sayeth the almighty Lord: I gave you
quails to eat, and tents for your succor: Nevertheless ye murmured, and ascribed
not the victory of your enemies unto my name: yee this same day do ye murmur.
Where are the benefits, that I have done for you: when ye were hungry in the
wilderness, did ye not cry unto me: Why hast thou brought us unto this
wilderness, to kill us: It had been better for us, to have served the Egyptians,
then to die in this wilderness. Then had I pity upon your mournings, and gave
you manna to eat. Ye ate angels food. When ye were thirsty, did not I hew the
hard stone, and cause water to flow thereout? For the heat I covered you with
the leaves of the trees. And good pleasant fat land gave I you: I cast out the
Canaanites, the Pheresites, and the Philistines before you. What shall I do more
for you, sayeth the Lord?
Thus sayeth the almighty Lord: When ye were
in the wilderness, in the water of the Amorites, being a thirst, and blaspheming
my name, I gave you not fire for your blasphemes, but cast a tree into the
water, and made the river sweet. What shall I do unto thee, O' Jacob? Thou
Juda wouldest not obey me: I will turn me to another people, and unto those I
will give my name, that they may keep my statutes. Seeing ye have forsaken
me, I will forsake you also. When ye desire me to be gracious unto you, I shall
have not mercy upon you. When ye call upon me, I will not hear you. For ye have
defiled your hands with blood, and your feet are swift to commit manslaughter.
Ye have not forsaken me ( in a manner ) but your own selves, sayeth the Lord.
Thus sayeth the almighty Lord: have I not
prayed you, as a father his sons, as a mother her daughters, and as a nurse her
young babes, that ye would be my people, and I should be your God: that ye would
be my children, and I should be your own father: I gathered you together, as an
hen gathereth her chickens under her wings. But now what shall I do unto you? I
shall cast you out from my face: When ye offer unto me, I shall turn my face
from you: for your solemn feast days, your new moons, and your circumcisions
have I forsaken. I sent unto you my servants the Prophets, whom you have taken
and slayen, and torn their bodies in pieces, whose blood I will require of your
hands, sayeth the Lord.
Thus sayeth the almighty Lord: your house
must be desolate. I will cast you out as the wind doeth the straw: your children
shall not be fruitful, for they have despised my commandment, and done the thing
that is evil before me. Your houses will I give unto a people that shall come,
and they that never heard me shall believe in me: and they unto whom I never
showed token, shall do the thing that I command them. They have seen no
Prophets, yet shall they call their sin to remembrance, and knowledge them. I
report me unto the grace, that I will do for that people which is to come, whose
childern rejoice in gladness: and though they have not seen me with bodily eyes,
yet in spirit they believe: the things that I say. And now brother, behold what
great worship, and see the people that cometh from the East, unto whom I will
give the dukedom of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, of *Dseas, Amos, and Micheas, of
Joel, Abdy, Jonas, Naum, and Abacuc, of Sophony, Aggeus, Zachary, and Malachi;
which is called also an angel (or messenger ) of the Lord.

THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 17
And there came
one of the seven Angels, which had the seven vials: and talked with me, saying
unto me: come I will show thee the judgement of the great whore that sitteth
upon many waters, with whom have committed fornication the kings of the earth,
so that the inhabiters of the earth, are drunken with the wine of her
fornication. And he carried me away into the wilderness in the spirit. And I saw
a woman sit upon a rose colored beast full of names of blasphemy which had ten
horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and rose colour and decked with gold,
precious stone, and pearls, and had a cup of gold in her hand, full of
abominations and filthiness of her fornication. And in her forehead was a name
written, a mystery, great Babylon the mother of whoredom and abominations of the
earth. And I saw the wife drunken with the blood of saints, and with the blood
of the witnesses of *Jesu. And when I saw her: I wondered with great marvel.
And the Angel said unto me: wherefore
marvellest thou? I will show thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast
that beareth her, which hath seven heads, and ten horns. The beast that thou
seest, was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and shall go
into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder (whose names are
not written in the book of life from the beginning of the world) when they
behold the beast that was and is not. And here is a mind that hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains, on
which the woman sitteth: they are also seven kings. Five are fallen, and one is,
and another is not yet come. When he cometh he must continue a space. And the
beast that was, and is not, is even the eighth, and is one of the seven, and
shall go into destruction. And the ten horns which thou seest, are ten kings,
which have received no kingdom, but shall receive power as kings at one hour
with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength
unto the beast. These shall fight with the lamb, and the lamb shall overcome
them: For he is Lord of lords, and king of kings and they that are on his side,
are called, and chosen and faithful.
And he said unto me: the waters which
thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are people, and folk, and nations, and
tongues. And the ten horns, which thou sawest upon the beast, are they that
shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate, and naked, and shall eat her
flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts, to fulfil his
will, and to do with one consent, for to give her kingdom unto the beast, until
the words of God be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest, is that great
city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
*Jesu: Hebrew for Jesus.
And the woman which thou sawest, is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 11
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 than 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.
Then came there a voice unto it, and
said: Hear thou that hast kept in the earth so long, this I say unto thee,
before thou beginest to appear no more: There shall none after thee attain
unto thy time. Then arose the third, and reigned as the other afore, 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 awaked 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 thee, and consider the thing that
thou seest. Then I saw, and behold, as it were a lion that roareth, running
hastily out of the wood, and he sent out a mans voice unto the Eagle, and said:
Hear thou, I will talk with thee, and the Highest shall say unto thee: Is it not
thou that hast 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, 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 thou hast
not judged with truth. For thou hast troubled the meek, thou hast hurt the
peaceable and quiet, thou hast loved lies, and destroyed the dwellings of them
that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such as did thee no
harm. Therefore is thy wrongeous dealing and blasphemy come up unto the
Highest, and thy pride unto the Mighty. The Highest also hath looked upon the
proud times, and behold, they are ended, and their abominations are fulfilled.
And therefore appear no more thou Eagle, and thy horrible wings, and thy wicked
feathers, and thy ungracious heads, and thy sinful claws, and all thy vain body:
that the earth may be refreshed, and come again to herself, when she is
delivered from thy violence, and that she may hope for the judgement and mercy
of him that made her
Note Eagle *he spread his wings "over all the earth". *overwane= lord over (sml l ) over / diminish, weaken.
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

These are the words that God spake unto Jeremie: Stand under the gates of the Lords house, and cry out these words there, with a loud voice, and say: Hear the word of the Lord all ye of Judah, that go in this door, to honor the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts the God of Israel. Amend your ways and your counsels, and I will let you dwell in this place. Trust not in the false lying words, saying: here is the temple of the Lord, here is the temple of the Lord, here is the temple of the Lord.
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.
