God's Truth: the living room ...

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 dream ...in the 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 ...lounge ...like it was a bar ...with couches ...a large and modern room ...

and there was a man there and a woman ...not near to one another ...

the man sitting on a large couch ...with his arms stretched out broadly over the back of the couch ...

and no one else sitting near him ...

and the woman ...as if seeming to be passing through the room ...

yet she had taken a seat ...in a chair ...in front of and to the left of the man ...who sat proudly in the couch ...in the lounge...of like unto a bar ...

and it was as though the man who sat proudly ...and large ...big of himself ....on the couch ...was judging the woman ...that she was unworthy ...

and the woman sat there and listened ...feeling lowersome ...and more and more unworthy ...as the proud man spoke ...

Evenso just as she was feeling very poorly ...there came another man ...

and he sat ...across ...a cross ...from the proud man ...who thought big of himself and his own judgment ...and love his own opinions ...

Now the other man ...began to speak ...and he told how the woman ...in her youth ...had helped him ...through some very hard and sore times ...

and the times were so sore and hard and cold ...that he had been near death ...

Evenso this woman being afraid ...had entered into those times ...and helped him ...

and this man spoke of times and times afore ...and many of things...and deeds ...and goodly works of loving kindness ...that the woman had done ...

and the more said he ...that the woman ...had done much to help him ...of worthy heart and in spirit and truth ...

and the more against the thoughts of the man ...that would judge the woman of his proud opinions ...and imaginations ...

and the man who had come ...and sat a cross ...from the proud man ...went on the more about the woman ...

and he said that in her youth she was very beautifull ...and that that beauty had followed her ...into her aged days ...

and he did look upon her ...and her face did shine ...like she was looking into the son ...

and her hair that once was golden blond ...shone ...of pure white ...

and the room changed ...from a lounge of a bar ...into a living room ...

and the proud and opinionated man ...so full of his own imaginations and judgment ...was seen no more ...

and the women that helped Jesus came to remembrance

THE GOSPELL OF ST. JOHN Chpt 12

Then Jesus six days before *ester, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, which was dead and whom Jesus raised from death. There they made him a supper, and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment called Nardus, perfect and precious, and anointed Jesus feet, and wiped his feet with her hair and the house was filled of the savour of the ointment.

Then said one of his disciples named Judas Iscarioth Simons son, which afterward betrayed him: why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This said he, not that he cared for the poor: but because he was a thief, and kept the bag, and bare that which was given. Then said Jesus: Let her alone, against the day of my burying she kept it. The poor all ways shall ye have with you, but me shall ye not all ways have.

THE GOSPELL OF ST. MARK Chpt 14

After two days followed *ester, and the days of sweet bread. And the high Priests and the Scribes sought means how they might take him by craft and put him to death. But they said: not in the feast day, least any business arise among the people.
When he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, even as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment called *nard, that was pure and costly: and she brake the box and poured it on his head.

And there were some that were not content in themselves, and said: what needed this waste of ointment? For it might have been sold for more then three hundred pence and been given unto the poor. And they grudged against her.

And Jesus said: let her be in rest, why trouble ye her? She hath done a good work on me. For ye shall have poor with you all ways: and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye shall not have always. She hath done that she could: she came afore hand to anoint my body to his burying ward.

Verily I say unto you: wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached through out the whole world: this also that she hath done, shall be rehearsed in remembrance of her.

And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the high Priests, to betray him unto them. When they heard that, they were glad, and promised that they would give him money. And he sought, how he might conveniently betray him.
