And measures and matters of The Truth of the "time" we are in ...how "man" ..."thought to change time and times ... float your boat...
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 a mans boat ...
evenso the boat sat out of the water ...on dry land ...
and the boat was full of want and waste ...crammed full to over flowing with things ...
even to a measure that any could bearing walk around in the boat ...so full was the boat of wantonness ...
and the mans bed was full of comfort ...like many mattresses ...of much comfort ...for times and times ...
and evenso much more ...for supplies and goods stored up ...for many many years ...
nevertheless the boat had sat there for so long ...the hull was rotten ...the ribs and very keel all the same ...
and never would the boat be able to be on the waters again ...
and behold many unGodly people came to take things from the boat ...liars and thieves ...unworthies ...
and others ...wasters and wanters and users ..and the used up ...
even so ...some relatives of the man ...
for behold man had died ...and left such a thing ...
and a word from the street came back to me
"whatever floats your boat"
and of the truth
Some man giveth out his goods, and is richer, but the *nigard ( having enough) will depart from nothing, and is yet ever in poverty.
*fained here is an obliged/imagined RN *nigard= cheap, miserly, petty. *corn from the Hebrew is "increase" as of the spirit even equity in our dealings with one another. RN
Behold, the king shall *govern after the rule of righteousness, and the Princes shall rule according to the *balance of equity. He shall be unto men, as a defense *for the wind, and as a refuge *for the tempest, like as a river of water in a thirsty place, and the shadow of a great rock in a dry land. The eyes of the seeing shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear, shall take diligent heed. The heart of the unwise, shall attain to knowledge, and the unperfect tongue shall speak plainly and distinctly. Then shall the *nigarde be no more called gentle, nor the *churle liberal. But the churle will be churlishly minded, and his heart will work evil and play the hypocrite, and imagine abominations against God, to make the hungry lean, and withhold drink from the thirsty: These are the perilous weapons of the covetous, these be his shameful counsels: that he may beguile the poor with deceitful works, yee even there as he should give sentence with the poor. But the liberal person imagineth honest things, and cometh up with honesty.
THE BOOK OF THE PREACHER Chpt 7
For who knoweth what is good for man living, in the days of his vain life, which is but a shadow?
**Or, who will tell a man, what shall happen after him under the *Son?
A good name is more worth than a precious ointment, and the day of death is better than the day of one birth. It is better to go into an house of mourning, than into a banquetting house. For there is the end of all men, and he that is living, taketh it to heart. It is better to be sorry than to laugh, for when the countenance is heavy, the heart is joyful. The heart of the wise is in the mourning house, but the heart of foolish is in the house of mirth. It is better to give ear to the chastening of a wise man, than to hear the song of fools. For the laughting of fool is like the crackling of thorns under a pot. And that is but a vain thing.
Who so doeth wrong, maketh a wise man go out of his wit, and destroyeth a gentle heart. The end of a thing is better than the beginning. The patient of spirit is better than the* high minded. Be not hastily angry in thy mind, for wrath resteth in the bosom of a fool. Say not thou: What is the cause that the days of the old were better, than they that be now? For that were no wise question. Wisdom is better than riches, yee much more worth than the eyesight. For wisdom defendeth as well as money, and the excellent knowledge and wisdom giveth life to him that have it in possession. Consider the work of God, how that no man can make the thing straight, which he maketh crooked. Use well the time of prosperity and remember the time of misfortune: For God maketh one by the other, so that a man can find nothing else.
These two things also have I considered in the time of vanity: that the just man perisheth for his righteousness sake, and the ungodly liveth in his wickedness. Therefore be thou neither too righteous or over wise, that thou perish not: be neither too unrighteous also nor too foolish, lest thou die before thy time. It is good for thee to take hold of this, and not to let that go out of thy hand. For he that feareth God shall *escape them all.
Wisdom giveth more courage unto the wise, than ten mighty men of the city. For there is not one just upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. Take not heed unto every word that is spoken, lest thy servant curse thee: For thine own heart knoweth, that thou thyself also hast often times spoken evil by other men. All these things I have proved because of wisdom: For I thought to be wise, but she went farther from me than she was before, yee and so deep that i might not reach unto her. I applied my mind also to knowledge, and to seek out *science, wisdom and understanding: to know the foolishness of the ungodly, and the error of the doting fools. And I found, that a woman is bitterer than death: for she is a very *angle, her heart is a net, and her hands are chains. Who so pleaseth God shall escape from her.
Behold ( sayeth the preacher) this have I diligently searched out and proved, that I might come by knowledge: which as yet I seek, and find it not. Among a thousand men I have found one, but not one woman among all. Lo, this only have I found, that God made man just and right, but they seek diverse *subtleties, where as no man hath wisdom and understanding, to give answer there unto.**The two lines above, were left out of the kjv and other bibles of man. *And again this is Son. RN * high minded. (kjv and other bibles of man = proud in spirit) *escape them all. (kjv = come forth of them all.) and to seek out *science, ( kjv = wisdom) *angle, (hook) *subtleties = crafty, sly, devious. Operating in hidden, insidious and destructive way.
