And measures and matters of The Truth of the "time" we are in ...how "man" ..."thought to change time and times ... ..restitution ...
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 shown a man ...
and the man had to go away for a time ...and times ...
and he left behind him ...a wonderful boat ...
and he left the boat in the care of others ...in covered ...storage...
Now it came to pass that ones he left the boat with ...began to look upon the richness of the boat ...
and in the process of time ...they began to imagine an evil...namely how they might take the riches to themselves ...
and while the man was on his journey ....they thought ...he does not come to see the boat...
and it has been a long time ...
and the man might never return ...
and we might then take the boat and sell it for our wages ...
and pay ourselves handsomely ...of the richness of the boat ...
and so they sold off the richness of the boat ...
and they let the place where the boat ...might have been worthily kept ...lay empty ...
and waste ...
and the place became covered with dust and the dung of fowls ...
and the dung of bats ...and rats and all measure and manner of vermin ...
and the covering that might have been over the boat ...hung over ...covered with spider webs ...
and so falling down ...and filthy did the place become ...that it was nothing worth ...
and the place was worthy to be destroyed ...
Nevertheless the one who might have been worthy care takers ...remained still ...
and tried to rob any others that pass by ...
and gather up ...more wages to themselves ...
Now it came to pass that the owner of the boat came back ...
and he looked and the boat he had left was gone ...
and only wretched filthiness left in the place ...
and he asked the ones that were there ..."where is my boat that left here in your care " (evenso he knew what they did )
and the unworthy care less takers ...tried to make up a lie ...and more lies ...
and even imaginations ...
and they thought in themselves ...we will just tell him ...we don't know what happened to the boat ...
evenso the man knew that they had stolen it and sold it ...
and so the man said to them ...you have a week ...seven days ...to amend the care less ness over the boat ...
and the man said in seven days i will visit you ...again ...
and the care less keeps thought ...tush ...so what ! ...we will call our insurance company ...an replace his boat ...
even we can bower money and get him another boat ...
nevertheless no court ..or judge in this world will find against us ...
for we have become rich and powerful and famous ....by the selling of that mans boat ...
and so they sat proudly ...and grinned among themselves ...full of self confidence ...
and confident more in the ways of the world ...that would protect them ...
and they said of themselves...so what if he comes back ...even early ...
Now it came to pass that the owner came back a second time ...
and he looked on the proud grinning robbers of his boat ...
and they looked at him in their arrogance ...like they had power over him in all the ways of the world ...
and they said ...laughingly ...you look upset ...that we stole your boat ...
and made much riches and power and fame ...for ourselves ...profiting off it ...
and they grinned the more ...and said ...evenso we will make it right ...according to our own desires and judgment ...
and according to our own laws we will make restitution ....
and we will give you another boat ...a similitude of ... like the one you had ...
evenso that it might look ...might appear ...like the one you had ...
and they secretly laughed the more ...within themselves ...
and why ? ...for they knew... if they made to gave him another boat ...it would be worthless ...compared to the one he left ...
Now the owner was sore displeased with the wretched evil... of the care less ...takers ...
and he when he spoke to them he said ...do you not know the laws of God ?
and the care less takers ...sat with mouths agape ...
and the owner said on the more ...that restitution for that which was stolen ...and sold ...is FIVE TIMES the price ...
and so five times your robbery ....will be required of you ...
and the unworthy care less takers ...appeared no more ...
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
If a man steal an ox or sheep and kill it or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. If a thief be found breaking up and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him: except the *sonne be up when he is found, then there shall be blood shed for him.
A thief shall make restitution: If he have not wherewith, he shall be sold for his theft. If the theft be found in his hand alive (whether it be ox, ass or sheep) he shall restore double. If a man do hurt field or vineyard, so that he put in his beast to feed in another mans field: of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
If fire break out and catch in the thorns, so that the stalks of corn or the standing corn or field be consumed therewith: he that kindled the fire shall make restitution.
If a man deliver his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of his house: If the thief be found, he shall pay double. If the thief be not found, then the goodman of the house shall be brought unto the *gods and swear, whether he have put his hand unto his neighbors good. And in all manner of trespass, whether it be ox, ass, sheep, raiment or any manner lost thing which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the *gods. And whom the *gods condemn: the same shall pay double unto his neighbor.
If a man deliver unto his neighbor to keep, ass, ox, sheep or whatsoever beast it be and it die or be hurt or driven away and no man see it: then shall an oath of the Lord go between them, whether he have put his hand unto his neighbors good, and the owner of it shall take the oath, and the other shall not make it good: If it be stolen from him, then he shall make restitution unto the owner: If it be torn with wild beasts, then let him bring record of the tearing: and he shall not make it good. When a man borroweth ought of his neighbor if it be hurt or else die, and if the owner thereof be not by, he shall make it good: If the owner thereof be by, he shall not make it good, namely if it be an hired thing and came for hire.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MARK Chpt 4
And he began again to teach by the sea side. And there gathered together unto him much people, so greatly that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea, and all the people was by the sea side on the shore. And he taught them many things in similitudes and said unto them in his doctrine. Hearken to: behold, there went out a sower to sow. And it fortuned as he sowed, that some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. Some fell on stony ground where it had not much earth: and by and by sprang up, because it had not depth of earth: but as soon as the sun was up it caught heat, and because it had not rooting, withered away.
And some fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, so that it gave no fruit. And some fell upon good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang and grew, and brought forth: some thirty fold some sixty fold, and some an hundred fold. And he said unto them: he that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked him of the similitude. And he said unto them. To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But unto them that are without, shall all things be done in similitudes: that when they see, they shall see, and not discern: and when they hear they shall hear, and not understand: lest at any time they should turn, and their sins should be forgiven them. And he said unto them: perceive ye not this similitude? how then should ye understand all other similitudes?
The sower soweth the word. And they that are by the ways side, where the word is sown, are they to whom as soon as they have heard it, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And likewise they that are sown on the stony ground, are they: which when they have heard the word, at once receive it with gladness, yet have no roots in themselves, and so endure but a time: and *anon as trouble and persecution ariseth for the words sake, they fall immediately. And they that are sown among the thorns, are such as hear the word: and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches and the lusts of other things, enter in and choke the word, and it is made unfruitful. And those that were sown in good ground, are they that hear the word and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold some sixty fold, some an hundred fold.
