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 terrible dread 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 alike a school or an institution ...
and there were many young people there ...some older than others ...
and i was shown a young woman who was up against a cold hard wall ...
and she was by herself ...alone ...keeping herself away from others ...
Nevertheless in the activity of the place she looked upon a man ...
evenso the man was an older man ...
and soon the man looked upon the young woman and they drew near to each other ...
even reaching out to one another ...a little ...as was allowed ...
Yet they were forbidden to touch each other ...
and the man ...who was older ...was strictly forbidden to touch a young woman ...
Nevertheless in the school or institution ...they were allowed to talk and walk with each other ...
and it came to pass that the older man and the young woman walked and talked together ...
and the man asked the young woman her name ...
and she answered and said her name was Jenny...and the man drew closer to the young woman ...
and the young woman allowed ...
and that for the young woman desperately needed the man to just touch her hand ...
Yet again ...the man shuddered ...for the they both knew the rules of the school ...
and that men and women were not allowed to touch each other ...
and the activity of the school or institution went on ...and on ...of class and meetings ...
and i was shown that the place ...was a place for the treating of drug addiction ...
and the young men and old were kept in one dormitory and the women in another ...
and they were strictly forbidden to see each ...except ...in the classes or cafeteria ...
and the man and the young woman talked and walked less and less with one another ...
Yet the man longed to be with Jenny ...
and Jenny yearned and longed for the man just to touch her hand ...
Yet again ...the rules were...that they were not to touch each other ...
and Jenny withdrew the more into loneliness ...
and went again to the stand against the hard cold concrete wall ...away ...a way from every one ...
and the she looked at the man who talked to her before ...from a distance ...
and the man did the same ...
and once in awhile their eyes would meet ...
and the man could see that Jenny was getting sadder and sadder ...
Yet he stayed away for they ...before had grown close to each other and nearly ...touched each other ...
and could have been thrown out of the school and institution ...
and they both had trembled at the thought ...
and the man went back to activities of men ...in the dorm after after the classes and courses of the school ...
and the dorm rooms appeared as clean ...
Yet were heaps of burning and trash ...even in the talking ...
even as though walking and talking in a trash heap ...
and one day as the man went back to the school for classes ...he looked in the cafeteria to the place where Jenny always stood ...
even as she always stood up against the cold hard concrete wall ...
Yet Jenny was not there ...
and the man asked around ...where Jenny might be...
and the answer came back ...that Jenny did not make it ...
and that she had taken her own life ...
and the man wept in heart and soul and mind ...
even himself in the throws of deep despair ...
even that he might have reached out ...and been able to touch Jenny.
and scripture came back 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 5
And there was a certain woman, which was diseased of an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and felt none amendment at all, but waxed worse and worse. When she had heard of Jesus: she came into the press behind him, and touched his garment. For she thought: if I may but touch his clothes, I shall be whole. And straight way her fountain of blood was dried up, and she felt in her body, that she was healed of the plague.
And Jesus immediately felt in himself, the vertue that went out of him, and turned him round about in the press, and said: who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him: seest thou the people thrust thee, and yet askest, who did touch me? And he looked round about, for to see her that had done that thing. The woman feared and trembled (for she knew what was done within her) and she came and fell down before him, and told him the truth of everything. And he said to her: Daughter thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the Synagogues house, certain which said: thy daughter is dead: why diseasest thou the Master any further? As soon as Jesus heard that word spoken, he said unto the ruler of the Synagogue: be not afraid, only believe. And he suffered no man to follow him more than Peter and James and John the brother of James. And he came unto the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, and saw the wondering: and them that wept and wailed greatly, and went in and said unto them: why make ye this ado and weep? The maiden is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. Then he put them all out and took the father and the mother of the maiden, and them that were with him, and entered in where the maiden lay, and took the maiden by the hand, and said unto her: Tabitha, cumi: which is by interpretation: maiden I say unto thee, arise. And straight the maiden arose, and went on her feet. For she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished at it out of measure. And he charged them straitly that no man should know of it, and commanded to give her meatRemember ye not brethren (I speak to them that know the law) how that the law hath power over a man as long as it endureth? For the woman which is in subjection to a man, is bound by the law to the man, as long as he liveth. If the man be dead, she is loosed from the law of the man. So then if while the man liveth she couple herself with another man, she shall be counted a wedlock breaker. But if the man be dead, she is free from the law: so that she is no wedlock breaker, though she couple herself with another man.
Even so ye my brethren, are dead concerning the law by the body of Christ, that ye should be coupled to another (I mean to him that is risen again from death) that we should bring forth fruit unto God. For when we were in the flesh, the lusts of sin which were stirred up by the law reigned in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death. But now are we delivered from the law and dead from that whereunto we were in bondage that we should serve in a new conversation of the spirit, and not in the old conversation of the letter.
What shall we say then? is the law sin?. God forbid: but I knew not what sin meant but by the law. For I had not known what lust had meant, except the law had said, thou shalt not lust. But sin took an occasion by the means of the commandment and wrought in me all manner of *concupiscence. For verily without the law, sin was dead. I once lived without law. But when the commandment came, sin revived, and I was dead. And the very same commandment which was ordained unto life, was found to be unto me an occasion of death. For sin took occasion by the means of the commandment, and so deceived me, and by the self commandment slew me. Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, just and good.
Was that then which is good, made death unto me? God forbid. Nay sin was death unto me, that it might appear, how that sin by the means of that which is good, had wrought death in me: that sin which is under the commandment, might be out of measure sinful. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin, because I *wot not what I do. For what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I. If I do now that which I would not, I grant to the law that it is good. So then now, it is not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is to say in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing. To will is present with me: but I find no means to perform that which is good. For I do not that good thing which I would but that evil do I, which I would not. Finally if I do that I would not, then is it not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me, doeth it. I find then by the law that when I would do good, evil is present with me. I delight in the law of God, concerning the inner man. But I see another law in my members rebelling against the law of my mind, and subduing me unto the law of sin, which is in my members. O wretched man that I am: who shall deliver me from this body of death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself in my mind serve the law of God, and in my flesh the law of sin*concupiscence: strong desire; lust of the flesh, lust of the eye and/or pride of goods.
*wot (know)
O' set your affection upon wisdom, ye that be judges of the earth. Have a good opinion of the Lord, and seek him in the singleness of heart. For he will be found of them that tempt him not, and appeareth unto such as put their trust in him. As for *froward thoughts, they separate from God, but virtue ( if it be allowed ) reformeth the unwise. And why? Wisdom shall not enter in a froward soul, nor dwell in the body that is subdued unto sin. For the holy spirit abhoreth fained nurture, and with draweth himself from the thoughts that are without understanding: and where wickedness hath the upper hand, he flyeth from thence. For the spirit of wisdom is loving, gentle and gracious, and will have no pleasure in him that speaketh evil with his lips. For God is witness of his reins, and a true searcher out of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue. For the spirit of the Lord filleth the round compass of the world, and the same that upholdeth all things, hath knowledge also of the voice.
Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things, cannot be hid, neither may he escape the judgement of reproof. And why? Inquisition shall be made for the thoughts of the ungodly, and the report of his words shall come unto God, so that his wickedness shall be punished. For the ear of jealousy heareth all things, and the noise of grudgings, shall not be hid. Therefore beware of murmurings which is nothing worth, and refrain your tongue from *sclander. For there is no word so secret, that it shall go for nought: and the mouth that speaketh lies, slayeth the soul.
O' seek not your own death in the error of your life, destroy not yourselves through the works of your own hands. For God hath not made death, neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living. For he created all things, that they might have their being: yee all the people of the earth hath he made that they should have health, that there is no destruction in them, and that the kingdom of hell should not be upon the earth ( for righteousness is everlasting and immortal, but unrighteousness bringeth death ) Nevertheless, the ungodly call her unto them both with words and works, and while they think to have a friend of her, they come to naught: for the ungodly that are confederate with her and take her part, are worthy of deathfroward (proud, haughty, stubborn, contrary, obstinate, disobedient)
*sclander (scandal and slander)and that the kingdom of hell should not be upon the earth...
and others of a similitude ...
