And measures and matters of The Truth of the "time" we are in ...how "man" ..."thought to change time and times ... 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 show within ...within a workplace of fast food ...near a campus ...
and the place was a whirl of activity ...
and young people scurried and rushed here and there to fill the orders ...
and the pockets of the owners ...
Nevertheless most that worked there were students of a nearby campus ...
and while they worked they sported with one another young men with young women ...as was natural ...
nevertheless they had an older woman over them ...that did little ...knew little ...wanted little ...except to be near the youth ...
and so it was that that the youth mostly ran the place ...
and did some study when the work was slow ...
even using the computers there for private communications ...
Now the time of work ended ...and all made way to go to the places where they had habitations ...while they were at school ...
and as they were walking young women and young men continued to spark one with another ...
and young women had looked over the young men ...and had many things in their packs and bags ...that they wanted of the young men ...
even was there a young woman that had an whole shopping cart full ...of things she expected ...
and so it was that the rich of the young men were top of the desirable list ...if they were at least somewhat fair to look upon ...
and the young men looking on the flesh ...looked on the young women the same ...
and there was a very fair to look upon young woman ...
and she had attracted many young men around her ...
and she thought to be the center of attention ...and the jealousy of any other young woman ...
nevertheless the young men lusted after her flesh ...and were able to see little else ...
and she enjoyed the attention ...and was able to see anything else ...
and there came a minister of campus religiousness ...
and that to bring worth and value and morals to the young men and women ...
evenso he ministered religiously to manly the young men ...
and he sent the young men home to their habitations ...away from the sparking of the youth ...
and told the young men to to meet later in a park ...for a gathering together ...
and i was taken and shown after one of the young men ...a member ...of the body ...of the campus ministry ...
Now the young man went stealthily into his space of rooms ...
and he turned to lock the door ...with many locks ...and bolts and slides ...
and i looked and there were two very flimsy windows right next to the door ...that was bolted and locked so securely ...
and the young man continued to look around and patch holes in the walls ...as if someone might look into his place ...
and in his place where he might eat ...was all measure and manner of electronic device ...computers ...cell phones ...pads ...and all screens lit ...showing many things ...
and as it was the young man was getting ready for it was his last year ...
and he had studied much of the world of the worldly ...
and had devices and ways to answer many questions ...
and show many things ...in and of the world of the worldly ...
and i looked and he had on his desk a book ...and it was a book of great interest to him ...
and why ? for it was a book that was part of his campus ministry collections ...of the many many books that might be sold ...to be read of the same ...
and i looked closer at the book ...and the title was like ..."the Jesus of harry potter " ...or the Jesus of some other fictional characters ...or real people that were used ...and made up imaginary things about them ...
and i wondered a mighty wonder ...
and i looked and there were many other religious icons images and tokens and trinkets ...within the young mans ...place ...
Nevertheless it came time for the "meeting" to take place in the park ...
and it was night time ...even of darkness ...
and the campus minister of religiousness came in the midst of the young men ...
and the minister of religiousness said look up ...look up ...see the heavens ...and he started naming off the stars and constellations ...of ancient paganism ...sorcery and asstrology ...
and he said look see what God has done ...
and the young men received all that the minister of religiousness said ...even that God made all the stars and constellations ...and called them the same as of ancient paganism ...sorcery and asstrology ...
and the minister of religiousness made sure the young men had Jesus in their rooms ..at their apartments ...
even in the form and fashion of all the books of "Jesus and any fictional character" ...or other religious icons images and tokens and trinkets ...
Now the minister of religiousness said to the young men ...let us go and work with wood ...like Jesus did ...
and so the minister of religiousness took the young men and they went to the wood shop of the campus ...
and they began to make things of wood ...
even every each one ...a certain thing ...
nevertheless none knew what he was making ...only that he was making apart of the the whole ...
and the young men worked and worked away ...a way ...untill each of their works was finished ...
and they all worked together ...and thought it such bonding ...helping each other ...untill each of their works was finished ...
and then the minister of religiousness said lets put all our works together ...and see ...see what we have made ...
and they put all their works together ...
and behold there was a little church ...like a model ...like a toy church ...
and they all stood back and smiled proudly ...that they had built "a house of God" with their own hands ...
and i looked at the little thing thing that they had built ...
and i wondered what would they do with such a worthless thing ...
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
Chpt 17 The Acts of the Apostles
Paul stood in the midst of Marce street and said: ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by and beheld the manner how ye worship your gods, I found an altar wherein was written: unto the unknown God. Whom ye then ignorantly worship him show I unto you: God that made the world and all that are in it, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, he dwelleth not in temples made with hands, neither is worshipped with mens hands, as though he needed of any thing, seeing he himself giveth life and breath to all men everywhere, and hath made of one blood all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath assigned before, how long time, and also the ends of their inhabitation, that they should seek God, if they might feel and find him, though he be not far from every one of us. For in him we live, move and have your being, as certain of your own Poets said. For we are also his generation. For as much then as we are the generation of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, silver or stone, graven by craft and imagination of man.
The Book of the Prophet Zachary
So I turned me, lifting up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, a flying book. And he said unto me: what seest thou? I answered: I see a flying book of twenty cubits long, and ten cubits broad. Then said he unto me: This is the curse, that goeth forth over the whole earth: for all thieves shall be judged after this book, and all swearers shall be judged according to the same, I will bring it forth ( saith the Lord of hosts ) so that it shall come to the house of the thief, and to the house of him, that falsely sweareth by my name: and shall remain in his house, and shall consume it, with the timber and stones thereof. Then the angel that talked with me, went forth, and said unto me: lift up thine eyes and see what this is that goeth forth. And I said: what is it? He answered: this is a measure going out. He said moreover: Even thus are they ( that dwell upon the whole earth ) to look upon. And behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and lo, a woman sat in the midst of the measure. And he said: This is ungodliness. So he cast her into the midst of the measure, and threw the lump of lead up in to an whole.
Chpt 13 The Fourth Book of Esdras
Then answered he me, and said: The interpretation of the sight shall I show thee, and I will open unto thee, the things that thou hast required. For thou hast spoken of them that are left behind, and this is the interpretation. He that taketh away the peril in that time, hath kept himself. They that be fallen into harm, are such as have works and faith unto the Most mighty. Know this therefore, that they which be left behind, are more blessed, then they that be dead. This is the meaning of the vision. Where as thou sawest a man coming up from the deep of the sea, the same is he that God the Highest hath kept a great season, which by his own self will deliver his creature, and he shall order them that are left behind. And where as thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came a blast of wind, fire and storm, and how that he lift up neither sword nor weapon, but that the rushing in of him destroyed the whole multitude, that came to fight against him: it signifieth, that the days come, when God will deliver them that are upon the earth, and in a trance of mind shall he come upon them, that dwell in the earth. And one shall undertake to fight against another, one city against another, one place against another, one people against another, one realm against another. When this cometh to pass, then shall the tokens come, that I showed thee before: and then shall my son be declared, whom thou sawest climb up as a man. And when all the people hear his voice every man shall in their own land leave the battle that they have one against another, an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as they that be willing to come and to overcome him by fighting. But he shall stand upon the top of mount Sion. Nevertheless Sion shall come, and shall be showed, being prepared and builded for all men, like as thou sawest the hill graven forth without any hands. But my son shall rebuke the people that are come for their wickedness, with the tempest, and for their evil imaginations: and their pains wherewith they shall be punished, are likened unto the flame: and with out any labor, shall he destroy them, even by the law, which is compared to the fire.
[Chpt 15] Behold speak thou in the ears of my people the words of the prophecy, which I will put in thy mouth, sayeth the Lord: and cause this to be written in a letter, for it is the truth. Fear not the imaginations against thee, let not the unfaithfulness of them trouble thee, that speak against thee. For all the unfaithful shall die in their unfaithfulness. Behold sayeth the Lord, I will bring plagues upon the world, the sword hunger, death and destruction: for wickedness hath the upper hand in all the earth, and their shameful works are fulfilled.
Therefore sayeth the Lord: I will hold my tongue no more unto their wickedness, which they do so ungodly: neither will I suffer them in the things, that they deal with all so wickedly. Behold the innocent blood of the troubled crieth unto me, and the souls of the righteous complain continually: And therefore (sayeth the Lord) I will surely avenge and recause unto me all the innocent blood from among them.
Chpt 16 The Fourth Book of Esdras “help” from the Hebrew
Let not the sinner say, that he hath not sinned: for coals of fire shall burn upon his head, which sayeth before the Lord God and his glory: I have not sinned. Behold, the Lord knoweth all the works of men, their imaginations, their thoughts and their hearts. For he spoke but the word: let the earth be made, and it was made: let the heaven be made, and it was made. In his word were the stars made, and he knoweth the number of them. He searcheth the ground of the deep, and the treasures thereof: he hath measured the sea, and what it containeth. He hath shut the sea in the midst of the waters, and with his word hath he hanged the earth upon the waters. He spreadeth out the heaven like a *vawte, upon the waters hath he founded it. In the desert a dry wilderness hath he made springs of water, and poles upon the tops of mountains, that the floods might pour down from the stony rocks to water the earth. He made man, and put his heart in the midst of the body, and gave him birth, life and understanding, yee and the spirit of the Almighty God, which made all things, and hath searched the ground of all the secrets of the earth.
16
He knoweth your imaginations and inventions, and what ye think when ye sin, and would hide your sins. Therefore hath the Lord searched and sought out all your works, and he shall *bewray you all. And when your sins are brought forth, ye shall be ashamed before men, and your own sins shall be your accusers in that day. What will ye do? Or how will ye hide your sins before God and his Angels? Behold, God himself is the judge, fear him, leave off from your sins, and forget your unrighteousness, and meddle no more with them: so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from all trouble. For behold, the heat of the great multitude is kindled over you, and they shall take away certain of you, and feed the idle with Idols: and they that consent unto them, shall be had in *derision.
Wisdom 2
The righteous shall shine as the sparks the sparks the run through the reed bush. They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever. They that put their trust in him, shall understand the truth, and such as be faithful, will agree unto him in love: for his chosen shall have gifts and peace. But the ungodly shall be punished according to their own imaginations, for they have despised the righteous, and forsaken the Lord.
[Chpt 6] Wisdom is better then strength, and a man of understanding is more worth than one that is strong. Hear therefore ( O' ye Kings ) and understand: O' learn ye that be judges of the ends of the earth. Give ear, ye that rule the multitudes, and delight much people. For power is given you of the Lord, and the strength from the Highest: which shall try your works and search out your imaginations: How that ye being officers of his Kingdom, have not kept the law of righteousness, nor walked after his will. Horribly and that right soon shall he appear unto you: for an hard judgment shall they have that bear rule. Mercy is granted unto the simple, but they that be in authority shall be sore punished. For God which is Lord over all, shall except no mans person, neither shall he stand in awe of any mans greatness: for he hath made the small and great, and careth for all alike. But the mighty shall have the sorer punishment.
Chpt 1 The Book of Romans
For the wrath of God appeareth from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men which withhold the truth in unrighteousness: seeing, what may be known of God, that same is manifest among them. For God did show it unto them. So that his invisible things: that is to say, his eternal power and godhead, are understood and seen, by the works from the creation of the world. So that they are without excuse, in as much as when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful but waxed full of vanities in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were blinded. When they counted themselves wise, they became fools and turned the glory of the immortal God, unto the similitude of the image of mortal man, and of birds, and fourfooted beasts, and of serpents. Wherefore God like wise gave them up unto their hearts lusts, unto uncleanness, to defile their own bodies between themselves: which turned his truth unto a lie, and worshipped and served the creatures more then the maker, which is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto shameful lusts. For even their women did change the natural use unto the unnatural. And likewise also the men left the natural use of the woman, and burned in their lusts one on another. And man with man wrought filthiness, and received in themselves the reward of their error, as it was according. And as it seemed not good unto them to be a known of God, even so God delivered them up unto a lewd mind, that they should do those things which were not comely, being full of all unrighteous doing, of fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, evil conditioned, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proud, boasters, bringers up of evil things, disobedient to father and mother, without understanding, covenant breakers, unloving, truce breakers and merciless. Which men though they knew the righteousness of God, how that they which commit such things, are worthy of death, yet not only do the same, but also have pleasure in them that do them.
10 The Second Epistle of St Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
I Paul my self beseech you by the meekness and softness of Christ which when I am present among you, am of no reputation, but am bold toward you being absent. I beseech you that I need not to be bold when I am present (with that same confidence, wherewith I am supposed to be bold) against some which repute us as though we walked carnally. Nevertheless though we walk compassed with the flesh, yet we war not fleshly. For the weapons of our war are not carnal things, but things mighty in God, to cast down strongholds, wherewith we overthrow imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bring into captivity all understanding to the obedience of Christ, and are ready to take vengeance on all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Look ye on things after the outer appearance?
to cast down strongholds, wherewith we overthrow imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God
to cast down strongholds, wherewith we overthrow imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God
