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 dream during the dark season ...of the times and time ..of the season of man ...see son of man ...

Thou blewest with thy breath and the sea covered them, and they sank as lead in the mighty waters. Who is like unto thee O Lord among gods: who is like thee, so glorious in holiness, fearful, laudable and that showest wonders? Thou stretchedest out thy right hand, and in the earth swallowed them. And thou carriedest with thy mercy this people which thou deliveredest, and broughtest them with thy strength unto thy holy habitation. The nations heard, and were afraid, pangs came upon the Philistines. Then the dukes of the Edomites were amazed, and trembling came upon the mightiest of the Moabites, and all the inhabiters of Canaan waxed faint hearted. Let fear and dread fall upon them through the greatness of thine arm, and let them be as still as a stone: while thy people pass through O Lord, while the people pass through, which thou hast gotten. Bring them in, and plant them in the mountains of thine inheritance, the place Lord which thou hast made for to dwell in, the sanctuary Lord, which thy hands have prepared. The Lord reign ever and all way. For Pharao went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought the waters of the sea upon them. And the children of Israel went on dry land through the midst of the sea. And MirJam a prophetess the sister of Aaron took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women came out after her with timbrels in a dance. And MirJam sang before them: sing ye unto the Lord, for he is become glorious indeed: the horse and his rider hath he overthrown in the sea. Moses brought Israel from the redd sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Sur. And they went three days long in the wilderness, and could find no water. At the last they came to Mara: but they could not drink of the waters for bitterness, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of the place was called Mara. Then the people murmured against Moses, saying: what shall we drink? And Moses cried unto the Lord, and he showed him a tree: and he cast it into the waters, and they waxed sweet.
And take thou unto thee, Aaron thy brother and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me, both Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aarons sons. And thou shalt make holy raiment for Aaron thy brother, both honorable and glorious. Moreover speak unto all that are wise hearted, which I have filled with the spirit of wisdom: that they make Aarons raiment to consecrate him with, that he may minister unto me.
And the Lord spake unto Moses saying: behold, I have called by name, Bezaleel the son of Uri son to Hur of the tribe of Juda. And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom, understanding and knowledge: even in all manner work, to find out subtle feats, to work in gold, silver and brass and with the craft to *grave stones, to set and to carve in timber, and to work in all manner workmanship. And behold, I have given him to be his companion Ahaliab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom to make all that I have commanded thee: the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of witness, and the mercy seat that is there upon all the ornaments of the tabernacle, and the table with his ordinance, and the pure candlestick with all his apparel, and the altar of incense, and the altar of burnt offerings with all his vessels, and the laver with his foot, and the vestments to minister in, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to minister in, and the anointing oil and the sweet cense for the sanctuary: according to all as I have commanded thee shall they do.
All that are willing in their hearts, shall bring heave offerings unto the Lord: gold, silver, brass: Jacinth, scarlet, purple, byss and goats hair: rams skins red and taxus skins and Sethim wood: and oil for lights and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet cense: and Onyx stones and stones to be set for the Ephod and for the breastlap.
And let all them that are wise hearted among you, come and make all that the Lord hath commanded: the habitation and the tent thereof with his covering and his rings, boards, bars, pillars and sockets: the ark and the staves thereof with the mercy seat and the veil that covereth it: the table and his staves with all that pertaineth thereto and the shewbread: the candlestick of light with his apparel and his lamps and the oil for the lights: the cense altar and his staves, the anointing oil and the sweet cense and the hanging before the tabernacle door: the altar of burnt sacrifices and his brazen gridiron that longeth thereto with his staves and all his ordinance and the laver and his foot: the hangings of the court with his pillars and their sockets, and the hanging to the door of the court: the pins of the habitation and the pins of the court with their boards: the ministering garments to minister with in holiness, and the holy vestments of Aaron the priest and the vestments of his sons to minister in.
And all the company of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. And they went (as many as their hearts couraged them and as many as their spirits made them willing) and brought heave offerings unto the Lord, to the making of the tabernacle of witness and for all his uses and for the holy vestments. And the men came with the women (even as many as were willing hearted) and brought bracelets, earrings, rings and girdles and all manner Jewels of gold. And all the men that waved wave offerings of gold unto the Lord and every man with whom was found Jacinth, scarlet, purple, byss or goats hair or red skins of rams or taxus skins, brought it. And all that hove up gold or brass, brought an heave offering unto the Lord. And all men with whom was found sethim wood meet for any manner work or service, brought it.
And all the women that were wise hearted to work with their hands, span, and brought the spun work, both of Jacinth, scarlet, purple and byss. And all the women that excelled in wisdom of heart, span the goats hair. And the Lords brought Onyx stones and setstones for the Ephod, and for the breastlap, and spice and oil: both for the lights and for the anointing oil and for the sweet cense. And the children of Israel brought willing offerings unto the Lord, both men and women: as many as their hearts made them willing to bring, for all manner works which the Lord had commanded to make by the hand of Moses.
And Moses said unto the children of Israel: behold, the Lord hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda, and hath filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom, understanding and knowledge, even in all manner work, and to find out curious works, to work in gold, silver and brass: and with graving of stones to set, and with carving in wood, and to work in all manner of subtle works. And he hath put in his heart the grace to teach: both him and Ahaliab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of graven work: they are also broiderers and workers with needle, in Jacinth, scarlet, purple and byss, and are weavers that can make all manner work, and can devise subtle works.And Bezaleel wrought and Ahaliab and all wise hearted men to whom the Lord had given wisdom and understanding, to know how to work all manner work for the holy service, in all that the Lord commanded. And Moses called for Bezaleel, Ahaliab and all the wise hearted men in whose hearts the Lord had put wisdom, even as many as their hearts couraged to come unto the work to work it. And they received of Moses all the heave offerings which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the holy service to make it withal. And they brought beside that, willing offerings every morning.
And all the wise men that wrought all the holy work, came every man from his work which they made, and spake unto Moses saying: the people bring too much and above that is enough to serve for the work which the Lord hath commanded to make. And then Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the host saying: see that neither man nor woman prepare any more work for the holy heave offering, and so the people were forbidden to bring: for the stuff they had, was sufficient for them unto all the work, to make it and too much.
And all the wise hearted men among them that wrought in the work of the habitation made: even ten curtains of twined byss, Jacinth, scarlet and purple, and made them full of Cherubins with broidered work. The length of one curtain was twenty eight cubits and the breadth four and were all of one size. And they coupled five curtains by themselves, and other five by themselves. And they made fifty loops of Jacinth along by the edge of the utmost curtain, even in the selvedge of the coupling curtain: and likewise they made on the side of the utmost coupling curtain on the other side, fifty loops they made in the one curtain, and fifty in the edge of the coupling curtain on the other side: so that the loops were one over against another.
And let the officers speak further unto the people and say. If any man fear and be fainthearted, let him go and return unto his house, lest his brothers heart be made faint as well as his. And when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, let them make captains of war over them.
THE SECOND BOOK OF KINGS Chpt 19
But hast thou not heard how I have ordained such a thing a great while ago, and have prepared it from the beginning? And now I bring it forth and it shall be to destroy and to bring strong cities in to rude heaps of stones. And the inhabiters of them shall be of little power, and faint hearted and confounded. They shall be like the grass of the field and green herbs, and as the hay on the tops of the houses which withereth or it come to any height. I know where thou dwellest, and thy coming out and going in know I too, and how thou settest up thy bristles against me.
THE SECOND BOOK OF CHRONICLES Chpt 13
And Abiah stood up upon Zemaraim an hill in mount Ephraim and said: hear me thou Jeroboam and all Israel. Becometh it not you to know how the Lord God of Israel gave the kingdom of Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons, with a salted covenant. But Jeroboam the son of Nabat the servant of Salomon the son of David, rebelled against the Lord. And there gathered to him lewd men and unthrifties, and prevailed against Rehoboam the son of Salomon: for Rehoboam was young and tender hearted and not strong enough for them.
THE SECOND BOOK OF CHRONICLES Chpt 20
And as all Juda stood before the Lord with their young ones, their wives and their children: the spirit of the Lord came upon Jahasiel the son of Zachariah the son of Banaiah the son of Jeiel the son of Mathaniah a Levite of the sons of Asaph, even as he was in the midst of the congregation. And he said: hearken all Juda and the inhabiters of Jerusalem, and also king Jehosaphat. Thus saith the Lord unto you: be not afeard or faint hearted by reason of this great multitude. For the war is not yours, but Gods. And tomorrow ye shall go down to them: see, they come up at Zis, and ye shall meet them in the flags of the brook before the wilderness of Jeruel. Moreover it belongeth not to you for to fight this quarrel: but step forth and stand and behold the help of the Lord which is with you: fear not, nor let your heart fail you, O ye of Juda and of Jerusalem. Tomorrow go out to them: for the Lord is with you.
THE SECOND BOOK OF CHRONICLES Chpt 29
But the priests were too few, and were not able to slay all the burntofferings. Wherefore their brethren the Levites help them till the work was ended, and until the priests were sanctified. For the Levites were purer hearted to sanctify themselves then the priests. And thereto the burntofferings were many with the fat of the peaceofferings and the drinkofferings that belonged to the burntofferings. And so the service pertaining to the house of the Lord went forward. And Hezekiah rejoiced and all the people, that God had made the folk so ready: for the thing was suddenly done.
THE SECOND BOOK OF CHRONICLES Chpt 36
And Zedekiah was twenty one years old when he began to reign, and reigned a eleven years in Jerusalem. And he did that displeased the Lord his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet at the mouth of the Lord. And thereto he rebelled against Nabuchodonozor which had received an oath of him by God, and was too stiff necked and too hard hearted to turn unto the Lord God of Israel. Thereto all the rulers of the priests with the people trespassed apace after all manner of abominations of the heathen and polluted the house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
In the month Nisan in the twentieth year of the reign of king Artaxerses, when the wine stood before him, I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king and I was heavy in his presence. Then said the king unto me: Why lookest thou so sadly? Thou art not sick, that is not the matter, but thou art heavy hearted. Nevertheless I was sore afraid and said unto the king: God save the kings life forever, should I not look sadly? The city of my fathers burial lieth waste and the gates thereof are consumed with fire. Then said the king unto me: what is then thy request? Then made I my prayer to the God of heaven, and said unto the king: If it please the king, and if thy servant be favored in thy sight. I be seek thee send me in to Judah unto the city of my fathers burial, that I may build it.
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite and said unto him: If we begin to commune with thee peradventure thou wilt be discontent, but who can withhold himself from speaking? Behold, thou hast been a teacher of many, and hast comforted the weary hands.
Thy words have set up those that were fallen, thou hast refreshed the weak knees. But now that the plague is come upon thee, thou shrinkest away: now that it hath touched thy self, thou art faint hearted. Is not this thy fear, thy steadfastness, thy patience, and the perfectness of thy ways? Consider (I pray thee) who ever perished being innocent? Or, when were the godly destroyed? As I have seen them that plow vanity and sow malice reap the same. With the blast of God did they perish, and by the breath of his anger consumed they away. The roaring of the lion, the voice of the lioness, and the teeth of the lions whelps are broken. The lion perisheth, for lack of prey and the lions whelps are scattered abroad.
Themanite = "southward" to destroy, to perishO' ye that love the Lord, see that ye hate the thing which is evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he shall deliver them from the hand of the ungodly. There is sprung up a light for the righteous, and a joyful gladness for such as be true hearted.
O' sing unto the Lord a new song, and let the congregation of saints praise him.
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, and let the children of Sion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance, let them sing praises unto him with tabretts and harps.
For the Lord hath pleasure in his people, and helpeth the meek hearted.
Let the saints be joyful with glory, let them rejoice in their beds.
Let the praises of God be in their mouth, and sharp swords in their hands.
To be avenged of the Heathen, and to rebuke the people.
To bind their Kings in chains, and their nobles with links of iron.
That they may be avenged of them, as it is written, such honor have all his saints.
Praise the everlasting.Then said God unto Esia, Go meet Ahaz, ( thou, thy son Sear Jasub ) at the head of the over pole, in the foot path by the fullers ground, and say unto him, take heed to thyself and be still, but fear not, neither be fainthearted, for the two tails: that is: for these two smoking firebrands, the wrath and furriousness of Rezin in the Sirian and Romelies son: because that the King of Siria, Ephraim, and Romelies son have wickedly conspired against thee, saying: We will go down into Juda, vex them, and bring them under us, and set a king there, even the son of Tabeel. For thus saith the Lord God there to, It shall not so go forth, neither shall it come to pass: For the head city of the Sirians is Damascus, but the head of Damascus is Razin. And the chief city of Ephraim is Samaria, but the head of Samaria is Remaliahs son. And if ye believe not, there shall no promise be kept with you.
This is the heavy burden upon Egypt: Behold, the Lord will ride upon a swift cloud, and come into Egypt. And the gods of Egypt shall tremble at his coming, and the heart of Egypt shall quake within her. For thus sayeth the Lord: I will stir up the Egyptians one against the other among themselves, so that one shall be ever against another, and one Kingdom against another. And Egypt well be choked with herself. When they ask counsel at their gods, at their Prophets, at their soothsayers and witches: then will I bring their counsel to naught. I will deliver Egypt also into the hands of grievous rulers, and a cruel King shall rule over them. The water of the sea shall be drawn out, Nilus shall stink away, and be drunk up. The rivers also shall be draw out, the wells shall decrease and draw away. Reed and rush shall fail, the grass by the waters side or upon the river bank, yee and whatsoever is sown by the waters, shall be withered, destroyed, and brought to naught. The fishers shall mourn, and all such as cast *angles in the water, shall complain, and they that spread their nets in the water, shall be fain hearted. Such as labor upon flax and silk, shall come to poverty, and they also that weave fine works. All the *pounds of Egypt, all the policy of their Moats and ditches shall come to naught.
O My people, come out of Babylon, that every man may save his life, from the fearful wrath of the Lord. Be not faint hearted, and fear not at every rumor that shall be heard in the land: for every year bringeth new tidings, yee strange wickedness and lordship. And lo, the time cometh that I will visit the images of Babylon, and the whole land shall be confounded, yee and her slain shall lie in the midst of her. Heaven and earth with all that is therin, shall rejoice over Babylon, when the destroyers shall come upon her from the North, sayeth the Lord.
Come together and gather you, O *froward people: or the thing go forth that is concluded, and or the time be passed away as dust: or the fearful wrath of the Lord come upon you, yee or the day of the Lords sore displeasure come upon you. Seek the Lord all yee meek hearted upon the earth, ye that work after his judgement: seek righteousness, seek lowliness: that yee may be defended in the wrothfull day of the Lord. For Gaza shall be destroyed, and Ascalon shall be laid waste. They shall cast out Asood at the noon day, and Accaron shall be plucked up by the roots.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 4
And Jesus returned by the power of the spirit into Galile, and there went a fame of him through out all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, and was commended of all men.
And he came to Nazareth where he was nursed and as his custom was, went into the synagogue on the Saboth days, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the Prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place, where it was written. The spirit of the Lord upon me, because he hath anointed me: to preach the Gospell to the poor he hath sent me: and to heal the broken hearted: to preach deliverance to the captive, and sight to the blind, and freely to set at liberty them that are bruised, and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all that were in the synagogue, were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them. This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And said: Is not this Josephs son?
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Chpt 19
And he went into the synagogue, and behaved himself boldly for the space of three months, disputing and giving them exhortations of the kingdom of God. When diverse waxed hard hearted and believed not, but spake evil of the way, and that before the multitude: he departed from them, and separated the disciples. And disputed daily in the school of one called Tyranus. And this continued by the space of two years: so that all they which dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord *Jesu, both Jewes and Greeks. And God wrought no small miracles by the hands of Paul: so that from his body, were brought unto the sick, napkins or partlets, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
Neither was it to with her only: but also when Rebecca was with child by one, I mean by our father Isaac, *yer the children were born, when they had neither done good neither bad: that the purpose of God which is by election, might stand, it was said unto her, not by the reason of works, but by grace of the caller: the elder shall serve the younger. As it is written: Jacob he loved, but Esau he hated. What shall we say then? is there any unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses: I will show mercy to whom I show mercy: and will have compassion on whom I have compassion. So lieth it not then in a mans will or cunning, but in the mercy of God. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh even for this same purpose have I stirred thee up, to show my power on thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the world. So hath he mercy on whom he will, and whom he will, he maketh hard hearted.
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.Let us fear therefore lest any of us forsaking the promise of entering into his rest, should seem to come behind. For unto us was it declared, as well as unto them. But it profited not them that they heard the word, because they which heard it, coupled it not with faith. But we which have believed, do enter into his rest, as contrariwise he said to the other: I have sworn in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest. And that spake he verily long after that the works were made and the foundation of the world laid. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day, on this wise: And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again: They shall not come into my rest.
Seeing therefore it followeth that some must enter thereinto, and they to whom it was first preached, entered not therein for unbeliefs sake. Again he appointeth in David a certain present day after so long a time, saying as it is rehearsed: this day if ye hear his voice, be not hard hearted. For if Joshua had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore yet a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, doth cease from his own works as God did from his.
Let us study therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example, into unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and mighty in operation, and sharper then any two edged sword: and entereth through, even unto the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints and the *mary : and judgeth the thoughts and the intents of the heart: neither is there any creature invisible in the sight of it. For all things are naked and bare unto the eyes of him, of whom we speak.
