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.
creteis@yahoo.com Behold in a 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 upon the face of the world ...of the worldly ...
and it was on the very plain ...plane ...of the earth ...
and it was like a level place ...where if one could see ...they might see ...as far as they might ...
even to the horizon of the earth ...
even to where the world could be seen no more ...
again even to the whore rising ...of the world of the worldly ...
Nevertheless in the midst of the plane field ...plain place ...was a man standing ...
and all around about him was a fog of darkness ...
and the man seemed immovable ...for there were things attached to him ...
and i was taken closer to to be shown ...
and behold the man was bound of chains ...
evenso the man struggled not ...as though he was tamed ...unto the chains ...
and i was taken closer ...to look more closely ...upon the chains ...
and the chains had names on them ...
and the names were of everything ...NOT of God and Christ in spirit and truth ...
and there were lies and deceptions and half truths ...
and all of all and anything of the world of the worldly ...that the world would have any believe ...
and any and all of the miserable manipulating media ...psychology ...propaganda ...traditions ...used to capture the minds ...bodies and souls of men ...
even all that was of the worldly ...worldly wives children fathers mothers ...lovers ...any ...
and again of all things NOT of God and Christ in spirit and truth ...was the man bound by ...
even everything ...of rule, power, and worldly rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness, for heavenly things...
and of especially of pride and money and position of the same ...
and again the chain of the worldly wife was shown ...
and i wondered a mighty wonder ...why the man did not struggle against the binding of the chains ...
and i wondered if the man might be made free ...
and or whether he might be moved ...at all ...
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
And Hananiah the prophet took the chain from the prophet Jeremies neck, and brake it and with that said Hananiah, that all the people might hear: Thus hath the Lord spoken: Even so will I break the yoke of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, from the neck of all nations, yee and that within this two year. And so the prophet Jeremie went his way. Now after that Hananiah the prophet had taken the chain from the prophet Jeremies neck, and broken it: The word of the Lord came unto the prophet Jeremie saying: Go, and tell Hananiah these words: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast broken the chain of wood, but instead of wood thou shalt make chains of iron. For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: I will put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all this people, that they may serve Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon, yee and so shall they do. And I will give him the beasts in the field. Then said the prophet Jeremie unto the prophet Hananiah: Hear me ( I pray thee ) Hananiah: The Lord hath not sent thee, but thou bringest this people into a false belief. And therefore thus saith the Lord: behold, I will send thee out of the land, within a year thou shalt die because thou hast falsely spoken against the Lord. So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh Month
Great are thy judgments ( O' Lord ) and thy counsels cannot be expressed therefore do men error, that will not be reformed with thy wisdom. For when the unrighteous thought to have thy holy people in subjection, they were bound with bands of darkness and long night, shut under the roof, thinking to escape the everlasting wisdom. And while they thought to be hid in the darkness of their sins, they were scattered abroad in the very midst of the dark covering of forgetfulness, put to horrible fear and wondrously vexed for the corner where they might not keep them from fear: because the sound came down and vexed them: yee many terrible and strange visions made them afraid.
No power of the fire might give them light, neither might the clear flames of the stars lighten the horrible night. For there appeared unto them a sudden fire, very dreadful: At the which ( when they saw nothing ) they were so afraid, that they thought the thing which they saw, to be more fearful. As for sorcery and enchantment that they used, it came to *derision, and the proud wisdom was brought to shame. For they that promised to drive away the fearfulness and dread from the weak souls, were sick for fear themselves, and that with scorn. And though none of the wonders feared them, yet were they afraid at the beasts which came upon them, and at the Hissing of the serpents. In so much that with trembling they swooned, and said they saw not the air, which no man yet may escape.
For it is a heavy thing, when a mans own conscience beareth record of his wickedness and condemneth him. And why? a vexed and wounded conscience, taketh ever cruel things in hand, fearfulness is nothing else, but declaring that a man seeketh help and defense, to answer for himself. And look how much less hope is within, the more the uncertainty of the matter for the which he is punished. But they that came in the mighty night: slept the sleep that fell upon them from under and from above: sometime were they afraid through the fear of the wonders, and sometime they were so weak that they swooned withal: for an hasty and sudden fearfulness came upon them. Afterward, if any of them had fallen, he was kept and shut in prison but with out chains. But if any dwelt in a village, if he had been an *herd or husbandman he suffered intolerable necessity: for they were all bound with one chain of darkness.
Whether it were a blasting wind, or a sweet song of the birds among the thick branches of the trees, or the vehemence of hasty running water, or the great noise of the falling down of stones, or the playing and running of beasts whom they saw not, or the mighty noise of roaring beasts, or the sound that answereth again in the high mountains: it made them swoon for very fear. For all the earth shined with clear light, and no man was hindered in his labor. Only upon them fell a heavy night, an image of darkness that was to come upon them. Yee they were unto themselves the most heavy and horrible darkness.
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.
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down into hell, and delivered them in chains of darkness, to be kept unto judgement: Neither spared the old world, but saved Noah the eight preacher of righteousness, and brought in the flood upon the world of the ungodly, and turned the cities of Zodom and Gomor into ashes: overthrew them, damned them, and made of them an example unto all that after should live ungodly. And just Lot vexed with the uncleanly conversation of the wicked, delivered he. For he being righteous and dwelling among them in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds. The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and how to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment for to be punished: namely them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise the rulers. Presumptuous are they, and stubborn and fear not to speak evil of them that are in authority. When the angels which are greater both in power and might, receive not of the Lord railing judgement against them. But these as brute beasts, naturally made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of that they know not, and shall perish through their own destruction, and receive the reward of unrighteousness.
They count it pleasure to live deliciously for a season. Spots they are and filthiness, living at pleasure, and in deceivable ways, feasting with you: having eyes full of *advoutry and that cannot cease to sin, beguiling unstable souls. Hearts they have exercised with covetousness. They are cursed children, and have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, which loved the reward of unrighteousness: but was rebuked of his iniquity. The tame and dumb beast, speaking with mans voice, forbade the foolishness of the Prophet.
These are wells without water and clouds carried about of a tempest, to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they have spoken the swelling words of vanity, they beguile with wantonness through the lusts of the flesh, them that were clean escaped: but now are wrapped in errors. They promise them liberty, and are themselves the bond servants of corruption. For of whom soever a man is overcome, unto the same is he in bondage. For if they, after they have escaped from the filthiness of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and of the saviour Jesus Christ, they are yet tangled again therein and overcome: then is the latter end worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness than after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment given unto them. It is happened unto them according to the true proverb: The dog is turned to his vomit again, and the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire
*feigned (made up, beguiling) *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
