Within ...a dream of the day season of the season of man ...i was ...a walking ...and thereof found myself ...walking ...within an house ...(seeming to me to mine house) ...
and i was carrying ...a large seemed like a pitcher ...yet the more seemed like a bowl ...evenso it had a portion ...of the lip thereof ...that was made for pouring ...pouring out ...
and i looked within ...the pitcher ...that was bowlsome ...and Behold it was filled with "milk" ...or as it appeared like unto milk ...
Yet astounded was i ...for the "milk" within the bowl with a lip ...that made it also a pitcher ...the milk was of a sweet fragrance ...most pleasant ...like unto ...the sweet odors of a spice shop ...
even so ...not as any strong pungent odors ...as some spices are ...only the most pleasant soothing ...and mellow ...was the fragrance ...
and i was of wonder of heart and mind and all measures of matters ...over this bowlsome pitcher ...with the fragrant milk therein ...and a walked in the house ...or a house therewith ...or thereof ...
and as soon as God my father and my brother Jesus perceived ...my wonder ...(seemeth times are they know my questions before i even have the thought ) ...
Nevertheless ...in an instant ...i walked through a door ...and found myself in a room ...
Now as i entered the room ..i was shown ...it was the simple place where i rest ...namely in the truth ...verity (realness) ...and love of God through Jesus ...truth as it is real ...(verity) and real ...again verity as it is the very truth of God ...unto the love of God my father through my brother Jesus ...simple !!!
such is the simple plainess of where i had comfort and rest and none other ...and a plain and simple bed was shown me ...as i looked upon the room as it was prepared ...
Nevertheless ...as i entered in ...a soul walked with me ...as she was a daughter of God ...she said ...(as she was "overcome"...come of the fragrance) ...OH !!! what a beautiful pleasant fragrance! ...what!!? is in that bowl you are carrying ?? ...
and i said unto her it is the milk of God ...save other measures of matters have been added there unto ...and is why ...and what thereof of it has such a pleasing aroma ...and she peered over the lip of the bowl ...and breathed in the fullness thereof ...and was the more overcome and comforted ...and "in"joyed of the sweet savour of it ...
Yet in an instant another appeared ...another ...soul who was trying to take rest ...on the bed ...where i took my rest ...and i looked upon this soul ...
and Behold this one grimace of face ...and turned of nostrils ...and said ..."what is the horrable stink??" ...and the same was disqueited of being ...of being ...of trying to take rest ...the same as i did ..."thinking" within themselves ...that they would have rest ...if only they went the same place ...place where i took rest ...
Nevertheless ...this one ...the other ...of the another ...these ..even this one could not stay ...not even in the room ...neither ...not even near ...for to them ...the milk with the other measures of matters therein mixed ...they could not receive ...for to them it was so stinking and ...even unto making them vomit ...and i neither could see them any more nor ...was i to look for them ...that i might upon them ...look ...
and the more i was astounded ...for i was of heart and soul ...and mind ...of wonder ...seeking of the measures of these matters shown me ...that i might have worthy witness thereof ...
and again ...as though answered even before the question came to mind ...was given me this ...
And the first day of sweet bread, when men offer the *paschal lamb, his disciples said unto him: where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou mayest eat the ester lamb? And he sent forth two of his disciples, and said unto them: Go ye into the city, and there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water, follow him. And whither soever he goeth in, say ye to the good man of the house, the master asketh where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the *ester lamb with my disciples? And he will show you a great parlour, paved and prepared: there make ready for us. And his disciples went forth and came to the city and found as he had said unto them: and made ready the ester lamb.*paschal lamb: lamb of the first passover in Egypt. *ester is the exact spelling of Easter?
Then came the day of sweet bread, when of necessity the esterlamb must be offered. And he sent Peter and John saying: Go and prepare us the esterlamb, that we may eat. They said to him. Where wilt thou, that we prepare? And he said unto them. Behold when ye be entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water, him follow into the same house that he entereth in, and say unto the good man of the house. The master sayeth unto thee: where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat mine esterlamb with my disciples? And he shall show you a great parlour paved. There make ready. And they went and found as he had said unto them: and made ready the esterlamb.
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw angels standing before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood before the altar having a golden censer, and much of odors was given unto him, that he should offer of the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar, which wax before the seat. And the smoke of the odors which came of the prayers of all saints, ascended up before God out of the Angels hand. And the Angel took the censer and filled it with fire of the altar and cast it into the earth, and voices were made, and thunderings and lightnings, and earthquake.
And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure thick gold with his shaft, branches, bowls, knobs and flowers proceeding thereout. Six branches shall proceed out of the sides of the candlestick, three out of the one side and three out of the other. And there shall be three cups like unto almonds with knobs and flowers upon every one of the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick: and in the candlestick self four cups like unto almonds with their knobs and flowers: that there be a knob under every two branches of the six that proceed out of the candlestick. And the knobs and the branches shall be altogether, one piece of pure thick gold.
Lord God of my master Abraham, send me good speed this day, and show mercy unto my master Abraham. Lo I stand here by the well of water and the daughters of the men of this city will come out to draw water: Now the damsel to whom I say, stoop down thy pitcher, and let me drink. If she say: Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also, the same is she that thou hast ordained for thy servant Isaac: yea and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed mercy on my master. And it came to pass before he had left speaking, that Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bethuel, son to Mylca the wife of Nahor Abrahams brother, and her pitcher upon her shoulder: The damsel was very fair to look upon, and yet a maid and unknown of man. And she went down to the well and filled her pitcher and came up again. Then the servant ran unto her and said: let me sip a little water of thy pitcher. And she said: drink my lord.
When Gedeon heard the telling of the dream and the interpretation of the same, he bowed himself to the earth and returned unto the host of Israel, and said: up for the Lord hath delivered into your hands the host of the Madianites. And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and gave every man a trumpet in his hand, with an empty pitcher and lamps therein, and said unto them look on me and do likewise: and behold, when I come to the side of the host, even as I do, so do you. And when I blow with a trumpet and all that are with me, blow ye with trumpets also on every side the host and say, here be the Lord and Gedeon.
And so Gedeon and the three hundred men that were with him, came unto the side of the host in the beginning of the middle watch, and raised up the watch men. And they blew with their trumpets and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. And all three companies blew with trumpets and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right, to blow with all. And they cried the sword of the Lord and of Gedeon. And they stood still, every man in his place round about the host. And all the host ran and cried and fled. And as the three hundred blew with trumpets, the Lord set every mans sword upon his neighbor, throughout all the host. And the host fled until they came to Bethsitah, to Zererath, and to the edge of Abelmeholah beside Tabath. And the men of Israel gathered together of the tribe of Naphthalim, of Aser, and of all Manasses, and followed after the Madianites. For Gedeon had sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim saying: come down against the Madianites and take from them the waters both Bethbarath and also of Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered together and came down and took the waters, both of Bethbarath and also of Jordan. And they took two captains of the Madianites, Oreb and Zeb, and slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeb at the press Zeb and followed after Madian. And brought the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon on the other side Jordan.
And the word of God came to him saying: get thee hence and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself in the brook Karith that lieth before Jordan: drink of the river for I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. And he went and did according unto the word of the Lord: he went and dwelt by the brook Karith that lieth before Jordan. >
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh every morning and every evening, and he drank of the brook. And it chanced after a while that the brook dried up, because there fell no rain upon the earth.
Then came the word of the Lord unto him saying: up and get thee to Sarephtha a city of Sidon, and dwell there. Behold I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee. And he arose and went to Sarephtha. And when he came to the gate of the city, there was a widow there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said: fetch me I pray thee a little water in a dish that I may drink. And as she went to fetch it, he cried to her and said: bring me I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. And she answered: as surely as the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but even an handful of Meal in a pitcher, and a little Oil in a cruse. And see, I have gathered a few sticks for to go and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it and then die.
And Eliah said unto her: fear not, but go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first of all, and bring it out to me: and afterward make for thee and thy son. For thus saith the Lord God of Israel: the pitcher of Meal shall not be wasted neither shall thy oil cruse be without oil, until the Lord have sent rain upon the earth. And she went and did as Eliah bade. And she and he and her house did eat a good space, and the pitcher of meal wasted not neither was the oil cruse without oil according to the word of the Lord which he spake through Eliah.
And there cried a certain woman of the wives of the children of the prophets unto Eliseus saying: thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord.
And the creditor is come to fetch my two sons, to be his bondmen. And Eliseus said to her: What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in thine house? And she said thy handmaid hath nothing at all in her house, save a pitcher with oil. And he said: Go and borrow thee in other places, of all thy neighbors, empty vessels and that not a few. And then go and shut the door to thee and to thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels, and put the full always aside.
And she went from him, and shut the door to her and her sons. And they brought to her, and she poured out. And when the vessels were full, she said to her son: bring yet a vessel. And he said: there is no more. And then the oil ceased. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said: go and sell the Oil and pay thy creditor. And live thou and thy children of the rest.
Moreover, thus said the Lord unto Jeremie. Go thy way, and buy thee an earthen pitcher, and bring forth the Senators, and the chief priests in to the valley of the children of Hennom, which lieth before the port that is made of brick, and show them there the words, that I shall tell thee, and say thus unto them: Hear the word of the Lord, ye kings of Judah, and ye citizens of Jerusalem: Thus saith the Lord of Hosts the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring such a plague upon this place, that the ears of all who hear it , shall glow. And that because they have forsaken me, and unhallowed this place, and have offered in it unto strange gods: whom neither they, their fathers, ner the kings of Judah have known. They have filled this place also with the blood of innocents, for they have set up an altar unto Baal, to burn their children for a burntoffering unto Baal, which I neither commanded, ner charged them, neither thought once thereupon.
Behold therefore, the time cometh ( saith the Lord ) that this place shall no more be called Topheth, ner the valley of the children of Hennom, but the valley of slaughter. For in this place will I slay the Senators of Juda and Jerusalem, and kill them down with the sword in the sight of their enemies, and of them that seek their lives. And their dead carcasses will I give to be meat for the fowls of the air, and beasts of the field. And I will make this city so desolate, and despised: that whoso goeth thereby, shall be abashed and jest upon her, because of all the plagues.
I will feed them also with the flesh of their sons and daughters. Yee every one shall eat up another in the besieging and straightness, wherewith their enemies ( that seek their lives ) shall keep them in. And the pitcher thou shalt break in the sight of the men, that shall be with thee, and say unto them: Thus saith the Lord of Hosts: Even so will I destroy this people and city: as a Potter breaketh a vessel, that cannot be made whole again.
In Topheth shall they be buried, for they shall have none other place. Thus will I do unto this place also, saith the Lord, and to them that dwell therin: yee I will do to this city as unto Topheth. For the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah are defiled, like as Topheth, because of all the houses, in whos parlors they did sacrifice unto all the host of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto strange gods. And so Jeremie came from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophesy, and stood in the court of the house of the Lord, and spake to all the people: Thus saith the Lord of Hosts the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon every town about it, all the plagues that I have devised against them: for they have been obstinate, and would not obey my warnings.
And Salomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the Lord: the Altar of gold, and the table of gold whereon the showbread was put. And five candlesticks, for the right side, and as many for the left, before the quere, of pure gold: with flowers, lamps, and snuffers of gold: and *Bowls, *Psalteries, basins, spoons and fire pans of pure gold: and hinges of gold both for the doors of the quere, the place most holy, and for the doors of the temple also.(NOTE these:*Bowls, *Psalteries are capitalised of the Original ...)
And the angel that talked with me, came again, and waked me up, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, and said unto me: What seest thou? And I said: I have looked, and behold: a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon it, and his seven lamps therein, and upon every lamp seven stalks. And two olive trees thereby, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side. So I answered, and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying: O my Lord what are these? The angel that talked with me answered and said unto me: knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my Lord. He answered, and said unto me: This is the word of the Lord unto *Zorobabel, saying: Neither through an host of men, nor through strength, but through my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. What art thou, thou great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou must be made even. And he shall bring up the first stone so that men shall cry unto him: good luck, good luck. *Zorobabel = Heb; "sown in Babylon"
Get you far from them therefore, thou Thathanai, captain beyond the water, and Stharbuzani, and your counselors, which are beyond the water, get yee away from them. Let them work in the house of God, that the captain of the Jews and their Elders may build this house of God in his place. I have commanded also, what shall be done to the Elders of Juda for the building of this house of God, that there shall diligently be taken of the kings goods, even of the rents beyond the water, and given unto these men, and that they be not hindered. And if they have need of lambs, or goats, for the burnt offering unto the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine and oil, after the custom of the priests at Jerusalem, there shall be given them daily as is according: and see that this is done without fault, that they may offer sweet saviours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the kings life, and for his children. This commandment have I given. And what man so ever he be that altereth these words, *there shall a beam be taken from his house, and set up, and he shall be hanged theron, and his house shall be *prized for the deed. *prized= that is a prize for someone else. RN
Therefore ( O son of man ) tell the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God: Behold all this, your fathers have yet blasphemed me more, and greatly offended against me: For after I had brought them into the land, That I promised to give to them, when they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees: they made their offerings, and provoked me with their oblations, making sweet saviours there, and poured out their drink offerings. Then I ask them, What have ye to with all, that ye go thither?
And therefore it is called the high place unto this day. Wherefore, speak unto the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: ye are even as unclean as your forefathers, and commit whoredom also with their abominations. In all your idols, where unto you bring your oblations, and to whos honor ye burn your children: ye defile your selves, even unto this day: how dare ye then come , and ask any question at me? O ye household of Israel? As truly as I live ( saith the Lord God ) ye get no answer of me: and as for the thing that ye go about, it shall not come to pass, where as ye say: we will be as the Heathen, and do as other people in the land, wood and stone will we worship.
As truly as I live, saith the Lord God, I myself will rule you with a mighty hand, with a stretched out arm, and with indignation poured out over you: and will bring you out of the nations and lands, wherein ye are scattered: and gather you together with a mighty hand, with a stretched out arm and with indignation poured out upon you: and will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there I will reason with you face to face. Like as I punished your forefathers in the wilderness, so will I punish you also, saith the Lord God. I will bring you under my jurisdiction, and under the bond of the covenant. The forsakers also and the transgressors will I take from among you, and bring them out of the land of your habitations: As for the land of Israel, they shall no come in it: that they may know that I am the Lord.
Go now then ( thus saith the Lord God) ye house of Israel, cast away, and destroy every man his Idols: then shall ye hear me, and no more blaspheme my holy name with your offerings and Idols. But upon my holy hill, even upon the high hill of Israel shall all the house of Israel and all that is in the land, worship me: and in the same place will I savoir them, and there will I require your heave offerings, and the firstlings of your oblations, with all your holy things.
I will accept your sweet savoir, when I bring you from the nations, and gather you together out of the lands, wherein ye be scattered: that I may be hallowed in you before the Heathen. and that ye may know, that I am the Lord, which have brought you into the land of Israel: Yee into the same land, that I swore to give to your forefathers. There shall ye call to remembrance your own ways and all your imaginations, wherein ye have been defiled: and ye shall be displeased with your own selves, for all your wickedness, that ye have done. And ye shall know that I am the Lord: when I entreat you after my name, not after your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt works:
O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord.
Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying: Thou son of man, set thy face toward the south, and speak to the south wind, and say to the wood toward the south: Hear the word of the Lord, thus saith the Lord God:
Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, that shall consume thee green trees with the Dry. No man shall be able to quench his flame, but all that looketh from the south to the north shall be burned therein. And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord have kindled it, so that no man shall quench it. Then said I: O' Lord, they will say of me: Tush, they are but fables that he telleth.
