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 ...
i was taken and shown in the midst of time ...and times...
even in the times end times ...
and out of the mist of times came a figure of a man ...
and the figure of the man was plain to see ...
Yet even as times of the man grew closer ...so did the figure of ...the image of the man ....came closer also ...
and as the image of the man ...the figure of the man grew closer ...
evenso did the time of the image of the man come ...
and the man to look upon was as a religious and churchly man ...
even a man of the worship within ...within the buildings ...temples ...churches made with mens hands ...
and the man was dressed in soft clothing ...like a suit ...that suited him in and of the world ...
and the man had a banner ...ribbon ...a tie around his neck ...
and his neck was bound of the banner about his neck ...and of the suit of the world he had gird himself with ...
and the image of the man ...the figure of the man ...stood proudly ...in his religiosity and churchliness ...
and the image of the man ...the figure of the man ...had a grin on his face ...
even a grin of being ...of his own being ...being satisfied ...
and i wondered a mighty wonder ...of the man ...the being satisfied ...
and the man was satisfied himself ...with himself ...and within himself ...of giving tithes ...
and the man was justified of himself ...with himself ...and within himself ...of giving tithes ...
and the man grinned a self satisfied grin ...
and i was taken closer to look upon the face of the proud religiously and churchly ...satisfied with himself of tithes man ...
and his face was the face of one whose mother was a drunkard while she bear him ...
and the affliction of her drunkenness was born on the face and mind of her son ...
even as the son became the image and figure of drunkenness ...of his mother ...
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
Wherefore all carvers of Idols are but vain, and their labor lost. They must bear record themselves, that ( seeing they can neither see ner understand ) they shall be confounded. Who should now make a God, or fashion an Idol, that is profitable for nothing? Behold, all the fellowship of them must be brought to confusion. Let all the workmen of them come and stand together from among men: they must be abashed and confounded one with another. The smith taketh iron, and tempereth it with hot coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and maketh it with all the strength of his arms: yee, sometime he is faint from very hunger, and so thirsty that he hath no more power. The carpenter ( or image carver ) taketh meat of the timber: and spreadeth forth his line: he marketh it with some color: he planeth it, he ruleth it, and squareth it, and make it after the image of a man and according to the beauty of a man: that it may stand in the temple.
and they made an image of Jesus ...and hung him back on a cross ...and put it high up ...within their temples made with hands ...
and said he is afar off ...yet will come back soon ...and bless all the religious and churchly ...mmm
and they thought themselves satisfied with ...and within ...and proud before God ...with their tithes to the temple ...their temple ...
and they lied ...
Then I was taken to a special place in Hell and shown the works of faith therein. There appeared a similitude of a church...yet it had no roof and no walls ...all appeared as filthy and stinking with dung and money mixed together everywhere... yet the pews where lined up and the minister was standing in his high place in front of all the worshipers... as it was I was shown the wickedness hearts and thinking of these ...for the worshippers were blinded by their own glory and justification and did look only to the minister of the place ...worshiping all that he said ...yet hearing nothing ...and they fed him with coins that he did have an appetite for ...yet as he became full of the money he did relieve himself ...and his dung mixed with coins did the people eat...And the minister did preach mightily, raising his hands up in all earnestness to the light that shone down upon him.
I was then quickened to look up and behold there was Satan...again the light was of his jeweled chest ...and it was shown me the matters between Satan and this minister ...for Satan desired that the people worship him and bent the minister to do his bidding ...and with all that the minister could do he could not turn the people from himself ...that they might worship Satan ...for the people could not see Satan but only the minister was able see him ...now every time the minister tried to get the people to worship Satan ...yet they worshipped the minister only ...at this did Satan smite the minister with torment of mind ...and so the cycle never ending... always ministering, worshipping, smiting, defecating, eating of dung and coins ...on and on forever without rest ...
Here ended the dream of Hell and all the matters thereof ...and I awoke and thanked the Lord for all the matters shown me ...
...and more ...church text ...
THE SECOND TO THE CORINTHIANS Chpt 11
If the truth of Christ be in me, this rejoicing shall not be taken from me in the regions of Achaia. Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth. Nevertheless what I do, that will I do, to cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like unto us in that wherein they rejoice. For these false apostles are deceitful workers, and fashion them selves like unto the Apostles of Christ. And no marvel, for Satan himself is changed into the fashion of an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers fashion them selves as though they were the ministers of righteousness: whose end shall be according to their deeds.
For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, he ( in whom the hope was left to increase the world ) went into the ship, which was governed through thy hand, and so left seed behind him unto the world. For happy is the tree where through righteousness cometh: but cursed is the image of wood, that is made with hands, yee both it and he that made it. He, because he made it: and it because it was called God, where as it is but a frail thing. For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both like abominable unto God. Even so the work and he that made it also shall be punished together. Therefore shall there a plague come upon the images of the Heathen: for out of the creature of God they are become an abomination, a temptation unto the souls of men, and a snare for the feet of the unwise. And why the seeking out of images is the beginning of whoredom, and the bringing up of them is the destruction of life. For they were not from the beginning, neither shall they continue forever. The wealthy idleness of men hath found them out upon the earth, therefore shall they come shortly to an end.
For a father mourned for his son that was taken away from him, he made an image ( in all the hast ) of his dead son: and so began to worship him as God, which was but a dead man, and *ordained his servants to offer unto him. Thus by process of time and through long custom, this error was kept as a law, and tyrants compelled men by violence to honor images. ..........READ MORE ...and see ...THE GOSPELL OF ST. MARK Chpt 14
And the high Priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesu, to put him to death and found none. Yet many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. And there arose certain and brought false witness against him, saying. We heard him say: I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another, made without hands. But their witness agreed not together.
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Chpt 7
How be it he that is highest of all, dwelleth not in temples made with hands, as saith the Prophet: Heaven is my seat, and earth is my footstool, what house will ye build for me saith the Lord? or what place is it that I should rest in hath not my hand made all these things?
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Chpt 17
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 ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Chpt 19
The same time there arose no little ado about that way. For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, was not a little beneficial unto the craftsmen. Which he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said: Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have vantage. Moreover ye see and hear that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be not gods which are made with hands. So that not only this our craft cometh into peril to be set at nought: but also that the temple of the great Goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, which all Asia and the world worshippeth.
THE SECOND TO THE CORINTHIANS Chpt 5
We know surely if our earthy mansion wherein we now dwell were destroyed, that we have a building ordained of God, an habitation not made with hands, but eternal in heaven: And therefore sigh we, desiring to be clothed with our mansion which is from heaven: so yet if that we be found clothed, and not naked. For as long as we are in this tabernacle, we sigh and are grieved, for we would not be unclothed, but would be clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. He that hath ordained us for this thing, is God: which very same hath given unto us the earnest of the spirit.
But Christ being an high priest of good things to come, came by a greater and a more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands: that is to say, not of this manner building, neither by the blood of goats and calves: but by his own blood he entered once for all into the holy place, and found eternal redemption. For if the blood of oxen and of goats and the ashes of an heifer, when it was sprinkled, purified the unclean, as touching the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ (which through the eternal spirit, offered him self without spot to God) purge your consciences from dead works for to serve the living God?
