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 an old man ...in a wicked city ...of wicked labor ...
and the old man was working ...and that worthily and diligently ...
and performing works greater than his wages ...
nevertheless the old man work on and that happily ...
evenso within ...within the wicked city of wicked labor ...there was no regard for anything or any soul ...
and only profit ...pilfering ...pandering ...and pathetic pillaging ...mattered of and within the wicked city of wicked labor ...
and the day came when the rude rulers and bean counters and extortioners of the wretched place came and told the old man to leave ...
and that without regard ...terminated without ...time ...nor consideration ...without cause ...or caring ...
evenso the old man ...was not troubled ...neither disquieted ...
and the old man went to find another job ...
and he went to a place that said they needed help ...
and the old man offered all that he had of skills and knowledge ...and worthy works ...
and a young man applied for the same job ...yet had few skills ...
Now the woman that was ruler over the business ...hired the old man ...for she needed his skills ...
and she talked to the old man like she really liked him ...and wanted him to work for her ...
and the more for the woman made the old man think his job was permanent and secure ...
even such as she was trained to do ...using ...using ...using her "human" "resource" ...cunning ...
and and that evenso ...secretly ...the business was ...down sizing ...
and going to sell the building ...
and only reason to hire the old man was to cheaply have the building repaired ...for bigger profit ...
now the old man went to work ...
and like before he worked diligently and worthily ...and did more works that ...his wages were worth ...
evenso the woman that ruled the place ...rudely railed on the old man ...
and that least the old man ...think he was worth anything ...
and the ruling woman ...wretchedly wrung out the old man about the time ...the time he came and the time he went ...
evenso the old man had put in many more hours than asked for ...
and it unnerved the woman ...that the old man was always kind and smiling and full of care ...
and the woman who ruled overt the place ...took great pleasure in wringing out the old man ...to see if he would complain ...
evenso the old man worked the way ...worked a way ...and that diligently and worthily ...and did more works that ...his wages were worth...
and again all done happily and in good cheer ...
and it vexed the wretched ruling woman the more ...
and again the wretched ruling woman devised a thing ...to trouble and torment the old man ...into wretchedness ...
and again nothing worked to trouble the old man ...not even when the wretched ruling woman lied to him ...and fired him ...
and that without cause ...
and again the old man smiled and went about to find another job ...
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
Every man can *eschue a person moved to anger, for what he doth wisely? Even so shall the Lord of Hosts take away from Jerusalem and from Juda, all possessions and power, all meat and drink, the captain and the soldier, the judge and the prophet, the wise and the aged man, the worshipful of fifty year old, and the honorable: the Senators, and the men of understanding: the masters of crafts and orators. And I shall give you children to be your princes,( sayeth the Lord ) and babes shall have the rule of you. One shall ever be doing violence and wrong to another. The boy will presume against the elder, and the vile person against the honorable. Ye when one shall take a friend of his own kindred by the bosom, and say: Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our head, for thou mayest keep us from this fall and peril.
Then shall he swear and say: I can not help you. Moreover, there is neither meat nor clothing in my house, make me no ruler of the people. For Jerusalem and Juda must decay, because both their words and counsel are against the Lord, they provoke the presence of his Majesty unto anger. The changing of their countenance betrayeth them, yee they declare their own sins themselves, as the Sodomites, and hide them not. Woe be unto their souls, for they shall be heavily rewarded. Then shall they say: O happy are the godly, for they may enjoy the fruits of their studies. But woe be unto the ungodly and unrighteous for they shall be rewarded after their works. O my people, *ribaudes oppress thee, and women have rule of thee. O my people, thy leaders deceive thee, and tread out the way of thy footsteps. The Lord is here to commune of the matter, and standeth to give judgement with the people. The Lord shall come forth to reason with the Senators and princes of his people, and shall say thus unto them: It is ye that have burnt up my vineyard, the robbery of the poor is in your house. Wherefore do ye oppress my people, and marred the faces of the innocents? thus shall the Lord God of Hosts revile them.
Moreover thus sayeth the Lord: Seeing the daughters of Sion are become so proud, and come in with stretched out necks, and with vain wanton eyes: seeing they come in tripping so nicely with their feet: Therefore shall the Lord shave the heads of the daughters of Sion, and make their beauty bare in the day. In that day shall the Lord take away the gorgeousness of their apparel, and spangles, chains, *partlets, and collars, bracelets and hooves, that goodly flowered wide and boarded raiment, brushes and head bands, rings and garlands, holy day clothes and veils, kerchiefs and pins, glasses and smocks, bonnets and *taches
And instead of good smell there shall be stink among them. And for their girdles there shall be loose bands. And for well set hair there shall be baldness. Instead of a stomacher, a sackcloth, and for their beauty witherdness and *son burning. Their husbands and their mighty men shall perish with the sword in battle
*eschue (avoid, escape) *ribaudes ( extortioners :MN). *partlets = ruffled covering for the neck. *taches = buckles, clasps, fasteners. *son burning exactly as recorded
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 18
And after that, I saw another Angel come from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his brightness. And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying: Great Babylon is fallen, is fallen: and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of all foul spirits, and a cage of all unclean and hateful birds for all nations have drunken of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and her merchants are waxed rich of the abundance of her pleasures.
And I heard another voice from heaven, say: come away from her my people, that ye be not partakers in her sins, that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins are gone up to heaven, and God hath remembered her wickedness. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and give her double according to her works. And pour in double to her in the same cup which she filled unto you. And as much as she glorified herself and lived wantonly so much pour ye in for her of punishment and sorrow, for she said in her heart: I sit being a queen and am no widow and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come at one day, death, and sorrow, and hunger, and she shall be burnt with fire: for strong is the Lord God which judgeth her.
There were tyrants in the world in those days. For after that the children of God had gone in unto the daughters of men, and had begotten them children, the same children were the mightiest of the world, and men of renown. And when the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was increased upon the earth, and that all the imagination and thoughts of his heart was only evil continually, he repented that he had made man upon the earth, and sorrowed in his heart. And said: I will destroy mankind which I have made, from off the face of the earth: both man, beast, worm and fowl of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them. But yet Noe found grace in the sight of the Lord.
These are the generations of Noe. Noe was a righteous man and uncorrupt in his time, and walked with God. And Noe begat three sons: Sem, Ham, and Japheth. And the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and was full of mischief. And God looked upon the earth, and lo it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
