And measures and matters of The Truth of the "time" we are in ...how "man" ..."thought to change time and times ... refiners fire...
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 ...
and i was taken and shown a fire ...
and it seemed to sweep the earth ...

of the gold
And the Lord did to me again, according to my righteousness, and after my pureness that I had in his sight. With the holy thou shalt be holy, and with the man that is uncorrupt, thou shalt be uncorrupt. With the pure thou shalt be pure, and with the froward thou shalt be froward also. And the people that are in adversity, thou shalt help. And on the proud shalt thou cast thine eyes. Thou art my light, O' Lord, and the Lord shall light my darkness.
With thy help I will run through an Host of men, and by the aid of my God will spring over a wall. The way of God is undefiled, and the word of the Lord fined as gold, and he a shield to all that trust in him.
As for the false prophets also and the unclean spirit, I shall take them out of the land: So that if any of them prophecy any more, his own father and mother that begat him, shall wound him, when he prophesieth. And then shall those prophecies be confounded, everyone of his vision when he prophesieth: neither shall they wear sack cloths any more, to deceive men withal. But he shall be faine to say: I am no Prophet: I am but an husband man, for so I am taught by Adam from my youth up. And if it be said unto him: how came these wounds then in thine hands? He shall answer: Thus am I wounded in the house of mine own friends.
Arise, O thou sword, upon my shepherd, and upon the Prince of my people, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad, and so will I turn mine hand to the little ones. And it shall come to pass (saith the Lord) that in all the land two parts shall be rooted out, but the third part shall remain therein. And the same third part will I bring through the fire, and will cleanse them, as the silver is cleansed: yee and try them like as gold is tried. Then shall they call upon my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people. And they shall say, Lord, my God.Behold, I will send my messenger, which shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord whom ye would have, shall soon come to his temple, yee even the messenger of the covenant whom ye long for.
Behold, he cometh, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? Who shall be able to endure, when he appeareth? For he is like a goldsmiths fire, and like washers soap. He shall sit him down to try and to cleanse the silver, he shall purge the children of Levi, and purify them as gold and silver: that they may bring meatofferings unto the Lord in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be acceptable unto the Lord, like as from the beginning and the years, afore time. I will come and punish you, and I myself will be a swift witness against the witches, against the *advouterers, against false swearers: yee and against those, that wrongfully keep back the hirelings duty: which vex the widows and the fatherless, and oppress the stranger, and fear me not, saith the Lord of hosts. For I am the Lord that change not, and ye ( O children of Jacob ) will not leave off : ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and since the time of your forefathers have not kept them.
Turn you now unto me, and I will turn me unto you, saith the Lord of hosts: ye say: wherein shall we turn? Should a man use falsehood and deceit with God as ye use falsehood and deceit with me. Yet ye say wherein use we deceit with thee? In Tithes and heave offerings. Therefore are ye cursed with *penury, because ye dissemble with me, all the *forte of you.
But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and the pain of death shall not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they appear to die, and their end is taken for very destruction, but they are in rest. And though they suffer pain before men, yet is their hope full of immortality. They are punished but in few things, nevertheless in many things shall they be well rewarded. For God proved them, and findeth them *mete for himself: yee as gold in the furnace doth he try them, and receiveth them as a burnt offering, and when the time cometh they shall be looked upon.
The righteous shall shine as the sparks that 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.
of the dross
(waste that is left over after the firing of metal)
Thou treadest down all them that *depart from thy statutes, for they imagine deceit. Thou puttest away all the ungodly of the earth like *dross, therefore I love thy testimonies.
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee, and I am afraid of thy judgments.
Take the dross from the silver, and there shall be a clean vessel thereof.
Envious lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
How happeneth it then that the righteous city ( which was full of equity ) is become unfaithful as an whore? righteousness dwelt in it, but now murder. Thy silver is turned to dross, and thy wine mixed with water. Thy princes are traitors and companions of thieves. They love gifts altogether, and follow rewards. As for the fatherless, they help him not to his right, neither will they let the widows causes come before them. Therefore speaketh the Lord God of Hosts the mighty one of Israel: Ah, I must ease me of mine enemies, and avenge me upon them. And therefore shall I lay my had upon thee, and burn out thy dross from the finest and purest, and put out all the lead, and set thy judges again as they were sometime, and thy Senators as they were from the beginning. The shalt thou be called the righteousness city, the faithful city. But Sion shall be redeemed with equity, and her captivity with righteousness. For the transgressors and ungodly, and such as are become unfaithful unto the Lord, must altogether be utterly destroyed.
And except ye be ashamed of the oaks trees wherein ye have so delighted, and of the gardens that ye have chosen: Ye shall be as an oak whose leaves are fallen away, and as a garden that hath no moistness. And as for the glory of these things, it shall be turned to straw, and he that made them to a spark. And they shall both burn together, so that no man shall be able to quench them.And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying: Thou son of man, the house of Israel is turned to *dross. All they that should be brass, tin, iron, and lead, are in the fire become dross. Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: for as much as ye have all turned into dross, behold: I will bring you together unto Jerusalem, like as silver, and brass, iron, tin, and lead, are put together in the furnace and the fire blown there under to melt them: Even so I will gather you, put you in together, and melt you in my wrath and indignation. I will bring you together, and kindle the fire of my cruel displeasure under you, that ye may be melted therein.
Like as silver is melted in the fire, so shall ye also be melted therein: that ye may know, how that I the Lord have poured my wrath upon you.
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying: Thou son of man, tell her: Thou art an unclean land, which is not rained upon in the day of the cruel wrath: thy Prophets that are in thee, are sworn together to devour souls, like as a roaring Lion, that liveth by his prey. They receive riches and good, and make many widows in thee. Thy priests break my law, and defile my Sanctuary. They put no difference between the holy and unholy, neither discern between the clean and the unclean: they turn their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am unhallowed among you. Thy rulers in thee are like raving wolves, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, for their own *covetous lucre. As for thy Prophets, they daub with untempered clay, they see vanities, and prophecy lies unto thee, saying: the Lord God sayeth so, where as the Lord hath not spoken. The people in the land useth wicked extortion and robbery. They vex the poor and needy and oppress the stranger against right. And I sought the land for a man, that would make up the hedge, and set himself in the gap before me in the lands behalf, that I should not utterly destroy it: but I could find none. Therefore will I poured out my cruel displeasure upon them, and burn them in the fire of my wrath: their own ways will I recompense upon their heads saith the Lord God.*dross=waste product formed during the firing of metal to make it soft (molten).
*covetous lucre= unearned profit, unjust gain, and/ or gain (profit) acquired by violence and or usury (Heb) RN
