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 dread full dream during the whoreable nightmare of the dark season ...of the times and time ..of the season of man ...see son of man ...
and i was taken and shown a computer class ay a place of "higher" learning ...
and the class was full of young people who "grew up on computers ..."
and the class was on how computer programming worked ...
and from an audio visual ...what you could hear and see ...and play with ... the students were well "versed" ...
Again ...as they had been raised on the audio and visual of cell phones and "school pads" almost since they came from the womb ...
and the "professor" was only a generation older ...and had nearly the same "up" bringing ...
Nevertheless in the class was also an aged man ...
and the youth and the "professor" all had a fun time making fun of the aged man fro he had not "grown up" wit a cell phone in his bed ...
Yet the aged man did want to know what the latest methodology was for computer programming ...
and one day with all the copying and pasting code that others had written ...and taking complete visuals and operational programs and doing the same ...
and THEN "creating their own ..."original application" oH MY !!! ...and call it their own !!! Oh geee !!!
Well during all that the aged man fell asleep ...of the boredom ...of the frivolity and plagiaristic playing of games ...
and the "professor " "woke" up the aged man ...and made jokes of his NOT being "current " and so "old school ...
and the aged man only smiled as he remembered ...BEFORE ..."writing code"...when the applications were only "1"s and "0"s in the very beginning of computers !!!
and the scene and seeing changed ...
and another aged man was in a class of "Control Systems" and applications ...
and AGAIN ...the "class" was a similitude of the first class on computers and programming ...with the third generation "professor" and the class full of young people who had been breast fed on cell phones ...
and the same measures of matters fell upon the aged man ...
namely where the "professor" and the young students "studied" the different switches and what the controlled ...for they had been pushing buttons all their lives ...
and when the pushed a certain button this happened and a different button that happened ...and they were enthralled that this button could do that and that button could make that happen !!! Oh man !!!
Yet they had NO CLUE ...HOW !!! HOW THAT HAPPENED !!! or how everything had a different signal and diverse "receiving" mechanisms ...
and AGAIN ...their only understanding was that this button makes that happen ...and that button makes this happen ...
and THEN ...FAILURES ....began to take place ...OH NO HO NO !!!
and the buttons sometimes worked and others times not !!! OH NO !!!NO !!!
AND WHY ??? WAS THAT "HAPPENING" TO THEM !!!
evenso the aged man began to test the switches and the signals and the receivers with tools ...that only "old people " ever used or knew how to use ...
and he tried to help the young people ...that THEY might be able to chase down "glitches" in the signaling and receiving mechanisms ...
even has he had been taught when the "devices" were first on the "market" ...
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
But thou ( O' our God ) art sweet, long
suffering and true, and in mercy orderest thou all things. Though we sin, yet we
are thine, for we know thy strength. If we sin not, then are we sure, that thou
regard us. For to know thee, is perfect righteousness: Yee to know thy
righteousness and power, is the root of immortality. As for the thing that men
have found out through their evil science, it hath not deceived us: as the
painting of a picture ( an unprofitable labor ) an carved image, with diverse
colors, whose sight enticeth the ignorant: so that he honoreth and loveth the
picture of the dead image that hath no soul.
Nevertheless, they that love such evil
things, are worthy of death: they that trust in them, they that make them, they
that love them, and they that honor them. The potter also taketh and tempereth
soft earth, laboreth it, and giveth it the fashion of a vessel, whatsoever
serveth for our use: and so of one piece of clay he maketh some clean vessel for
service, and some contrary. But where to every vessel serveth, that knoweth not
the potter himself. So with his vain labor he maketh a God of the same clay:
this doth even he, which a little afore was made of earth himself, and within a
little while after ( when he dieth ) turneth to earth again.
Notwithstanding, he careth not the more
because he shall labor, ner because his life is short: but striveth to excel
goldsmiths, the silversmiths and coppersmiths, and taketh it for an honor to
make vain things. For his heart is ashes, his hope is but vain earth, and his
life is more vile than clay: for so much as he knoweth not his own maker, that
gave him his soul to work, and breath in him the breath of life. They count our
life but a pastime and our conversation to be but a market, and that men should
ever be getting, and that by evil means. Now he that of earth maketh frail
vessels and images, knoweth himself to offend above all other.
All the enemies of thy people and that hold
them in subjection, are unwise, unhappy, and exceedingly proud unto their own
souls: for they judge all the Idols of the Heathen to be gods, which neither
have eye sight to see, ner noses to smell, ner ears to hear, nor fingers of
hands for to grope: and as for their feet, they are too slow to go. For man made
them, and he that hath but a borrowed spirit, fashioned them. But no man can
make a God like unto him: for seeing he is but mortal himself, it is but mortal
that he maketh with ungodly hands. He himself is better then they whom he
worshipeth, for he lived though he was mortal, but so did never they. Yee they
worship beasts also, which are most miserable: for compare things that cannot
feel unto them, and they are worse then those. Yet is there not one of these
beasts, that with his sight can behold any good thing, neither have they given
praise ner thanks unto God
Every man can *eschue a person moved to anger, for what he doth wisely? Even so shall the Lord of Hosts take away from Jerusalem and from Juda, all possessions and power, all meat and drink, the captain and the soldier, the judge and the prophet,
the wise and the aged man, the worshipful of fifty year old, and the honorable: the Senators, and the men of understanding: the masters of crafts and orators. And I shall give you children to be your princes,( sayeth the Lord ) and babes shall have the rule of you. One shall ever be doing violence and wrong to another. The boy will presume against the elder, and the vile person against the honorable. Ye when one shall take a friend of his own kindred by the bosom, and say: Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our head, for thou mayest keep us from this fall and peril.*eschue (avoid, escape) *ribaudes ( extortioners :MN). *partlets = ruffled covering for the neck. *taches = buckles, clasps, fasteners. *son burning exactly as recorded
Now will then, I will sing my beloved friend a song of his vineyard. My
beloved friend hath a vineyard in a very fruitful plenteous ground. This he
hedged, this he walled round about, and planted it with goodly grapes. In the
midst of it builded he a tower, and made a wine press therin. And afterward when
he looked that it should bring him grapes, it brought forth thorns. I show you
now my cause ( O ye Citizens of Jerusalem and whole of Juda ) : Judge, I pray
you, betwixt me and my vineyard. What more could have been done for it, that I
have not done? Wherefore hath it given thorns, where I looked to have grapes of
it?
Well, I shall tell you how I will do with my
vineyard: I will take the hedge from it, that it may perish, and break down the
wall, that it may be trodden under foot. I will lay it waste, that it shall
neither be twisted nor cut, but bear thorns and briers. I will also forbid the
clouds, that they shall not rain upon it. As for the vineyard of the Lord of
Hosts it is the house of Israel, and whole Juda his fair planting. Of these he
looked for equity, but see there is wrong: for righteousness, lo, It is but
misery.
Woe unto you that join one house to another,
and bring one land so nigh unto another, till ye can get no more ground. Will ye
dwell upon the earth alone? The Lord of Hosts roundeth me thus in mine ear:
shall not many greater and more gorgeous houses be so waste, that no man shall
dwell in them? And ten acres of vines shall give but a Quart, and thirty bushels
of feed shall give but three.
Woe unto them that rise up early to use
themselves in drunkenness, and yet at night are more superfluous with wine. In
those companies are harps and lutes, tabrets and pipes, and wine. But they
regard not the work of the Lord, and consider not the operation of his hands.
Therefore cometh my folk also in captivity, because they have no understanding.
Their glory shall be mixed with hunger, and their pride shall be marred for
thirst. Therefore gapeth hell, and openeth her mouth marvelous wide: that pride
boasting and wisdom, with such as rejoice therin, may descend into it.
Thus shall man have a fall, he shall be
brought low, and the high looks of the proud layed down. But the Lord of
Hosts, that holy God: shall be exalted and untouched, when he shall declare his
equity and righteousness after this manner: Then shall the lambs eat their
appointed fodder, and shall feed plentiously in the mountains. Woe be unto vain
persons, that draw wickedness unto them, as it were with a cord: and sin, as it
were with a cart rope. Which use to speak on this manner: Let him make hast now,
and go forth with his work, that we may see it. Let that counsel of the holy one
of Israel come, and draw nye, that we may know it.
Woe be unto them that call evil good, and
good evil: which make darkness light, and light darkness, that make sour sweet,
and sweet sour. Woe be unto them that are wise in their own sight, and think
themselves to have understanding. Woe be unto them that are conning men to
sup out wine and expert to set up drunkenness. These give sentence with the
ungodly for rewards, but condemn the just cause of the righteous.
Therefore like as the fire licketh up the
straw, as the flame consumeth the stubble: Even so ( when their root is full )
their blossom shall vanish away as dust or smoke: for they despise the law of
the Lord of Hosts, and blaspheme the word of the holy maker of Israel.
Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled
also against his people, and he shaketh his hand at them: yee he shall smite so,
that the hills shall tremble. And their carcasses shall lie in the open streets,
like mire. After all this, the wrath of God shall not cease, but he shall
stretch his hand wider. And he shall give a token unto a strange people, and
call unto them in a far country: and behold, they shall come hastily with speed.
There is not one faint or feeble among them, no not a sluggish or slippery
person. There shall not one of them put off the girdle from his loins, *ner
loose the latchet of their shoe. Their arrows are sharp, and their bows bent.
Their horses hoofs are like flint, and their cart wheels like a stormy wind.
Their cry is as it were of a lion, and the roaring of them like lions whelps.
They shall roar, and haunch up the prey, and no man shall recover it or get it
from them. In that day they shall be fierce upon them, as the sea. And if we
look unto the land, behold, it shall be all darkness and sorrow. If we look to
heaven: behold, it shall be dark with careful desperation
There shall not one of them put off the girdle from his loins, Ephes 6:14 RN) *ner loose the latchet of their shoe
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.
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?
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
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

And where as thou sawest two underwings upon the head that is on the right side, it signifieth that it is they, whom the Highest hath kept unto their end: this is a small kingdom, full of trouble. The Lion whom thou sawest rising up out of the wood, and roaring, and speaking unto the Eagle, and rebuking him for his unrighteousness, is the wind, which the Highest hath kept for them and for their wickedness unto the end: he shall reprove them, and rent them asunder before them. For he shall set them living before the judgement, and shall rebuke them: for the residue of my people shall he deliver with trouble, those that be preserved over mine ends: and he shall make them joyful until the coming day of Judgement, where of I have spoken unto thee from the beginning. This is the dream that thou sawest, and this is the interpretation. Thou only hast been meat to know the secret of the Highest.

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
*durst= dare *Oseas = Hosea, *Salmanasar = Shalmaneser
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.
THE EPISTLE OF ST. JAMES Chpt 4
Go to now ye that say: today and tomorrow let us go into such a city and continue there a year and buy and sell, and win: and yet cannot tell what shall happen tomorrow. For what thing is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away: For that ye ought to say: if the Lord will and if we live, let us do this or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings. All such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that knoweth how to do good, and doth it not, to him it is sin.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 16
Then came the Pharisees and Sadducees, and did tempt him, desiring him to show them some sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them. At evening ye say, we shall have fair weather, and that because the sky is red: and in the morning ye say, today shall be foul weather, and that because the sky is cloudy and red. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the fashion of the sky: and can ye not discern the signs of the times? The froward nation and *advoutrous seeketh a sign, and there shall none other sign be given unto them but the sign of the Prophet Jonas. So left he them and departed.
*advoutry: prefix "a" meaning not or without, devout: devotion; plain hearted to God, being devoted to something or some one else. see James 2 for adultery
And all the world was of one tongue and one language. And as they came from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sinear, and there they dwelled. And they said one to another: come on, let us make brick and burn it with fire. So brick was their stone and slime was their mortar. And they said: Come on, let us build us a city and a tower, that the top may reach unto heaven. And let us make us a name, for peradventure we shall be scattered abroad over all the earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the children of Adam had builded. And the Lord said: See, the people is one, and have one tongue among them all: And this have they begun to do, and will not leave off from all that they have purposed to do. Come on, let us descend, and mingle their tongue even there, that one understand not what another sayeth. Thus the Lord scattered them from there upon all the earth. And they left off to build the city. Wherefore the name of it is called Babell, because that the Lord there confounded the tongue of all the world. And because that the Lord from there scattered them abroad upon all the earth.
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
