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 shown a man ...
and the man was building a stairway ...within ...within his own house ...
evenso the stairway went no where ...
and though he walked upon the stairway that he built himself ...the stairway led to nowhere ...
and it seemed a vain and worthless thing to look upon ...
and i wondered a mighty wonder ...
and in an instant was shown me ...that these are those that within ...within themselves ...think to have high place before God ...of their own doing ...
even as if they might do high works within a church ...or temple or other place built with mens hands ...
and thereby think within ...within themselves ...that they of themselves ...might do something ...worthy to walk in a higher place ...before God and Christ ...
and a true witness came to remembrance ...
even of a religious brother ...when rebuked of his churchlieness ...
and the religious brother answered and said ..."it makes me feel closer to God when i go to church every week"
and to this answer was given ...saying "are you so far way from God and Christ that you need to be reminded every week "
and of walking with David and asking him "what pleases God" ...
and David answering and saying ..."God is pleased when you are pleased with him"
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
These are the words that Jeremy the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, after that he had written these Sermons into a book at the mouth of Jeremy, In the fourth year of Jehoakim the son of Josiah King of Judah.
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto thee, O Baruch: In so much as thou thoughtest thus, when thou wast writing: Woe is me, the Lord hath given me pain for my travail: I have wearied myself with sighing, and shall I find no rest? Therefore tell him, O Jeremy that the Lord sayeth thus: Behold, The thing that I have builded, will I break down again, and root out the thing, that I have planted, yee this whole land. And seekest thou yet promotion? Look not for it, and desire it not. For I will bring a miserable plague upon all flesh sayeth the Lord. But thy life will I give thee for a prey, wheresoever thou goest.
a question comes ...seek ye promotion within ...within the churches and temples built of the hands and sweat and stolen wages of men ...?
and more scripture comes back to remembrance ...
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?
Therefore holy brethren, partakers of the celestial callings consider the ambassador and high priest of our profession Christ Jesus, which was faithful to him that made him, even as was Moses in all his house. And yet was this man counted worthy of more glory than Moses: In as much as he which hath prepared the house, hath most honour in the house. Every house is prepared of some man. But he that ordained all things, is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a minister, to bear witness of those things which should be spoken afterward. But Christ as a son, hath rule over the house, whose house are we, so that we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of that hope, unto the end.
and another witness came back to remembrance ...
Now it came to pass as a vision from the Lord as to the matters of people gathering together in a "church" like setting... for I was taken in the spirit to a high place on the mountain side ...to a local "church" familiar to me ... and I stood in the gravel parking lot and looked at the building ...and I asked the Lord "what am I doing here, for you know I want nothing to do with these places" "nevertheless" He said " I have somewhat to show you" and I stood there looking at the building and some how knew there were folks inside... and I said "Lord I am disquieted here and have nothing to say to these people" And He said "nevertheless tell them to come out of there naked" now to this I mightily wondered, yet as the Lord willed I called out "come out of there naked" and behold all came out of the building naked ...now said the Lord "tell them to sit out here in the gravel" (upon the stones) and so I told them this ...and behold all that were of this place sat there in the gravel ...naked!
Now said the Lord "ask them what they want" and I said unto them "what is it that you want?" and they said "we want some clothes." So I turned to the Lord and He said "tell them this ...that they can have clothes ...but they can not dress up one above another" and so it came to pass that all were clothed ...yet still sitting in the gravel ...and I turned to the Lord again ...and he said "ask them what they want" and so I did ...and they said "we want chairs to sit on for the stones are uncomfortable and do poke us" so I turned to the Lord and He said "tell them this ...that they can have chairs ...but they can not sit one above another"... and so it was they all sat on chairs ... and I turned to the Lord again ...and he said "ask them what they want" and so I did ...and they said "we want a building for shelter for it might rain or cold may come." So I turned to the Lord and He said "tell them this ...that they can have a building ...but they can not build it higher or proudly better than others"...and so it was that a building appeared ...and all these rose up wondering what this was all about ...and started to go in ...the building... and I turned to the Lord again ...and he said "stop them" and so I did for those that would hear.
Now said the Lord "tell them this, Behold; all these things that you do ...with your dressing up, your glorious pews, altars, and high pulpits ...your fancy buildings and magnificent structures ... you do these things for yourselves"
As I might add and I pray I am in the spirit ...that these be received of the Truth and Love of God that He might open their hearts to it ...that they "think" not ...in themselves... that they are clothed with false doctrine and religious ceremonies...that they might know truly that they be covered by the Blood of Christ only ...for only for Christ's sake are we reconciled unto our Father ...and not of any of our own doing ...and sit not upon stones to be poked and prodded by the false judgements of men, but that they receive that: yea, even does Jesus ask us to come sit with him on the mercy seat before God, that we might through Him be taught perfectly, by Him; to know the Love and Truth of God ...that they not pride themselves in temples made with the hands of men ...but that we cherish the temple of our hearts, that we might be dear hearted towards God and our blessed Jesus... that we seek not the false shelter of dogma and denominations...but seek to be carried by Jesus to comfort... as He lays us in our Fathers arms, where we might lay our head, our hearts and our bodies... to be at rest and peace by his nurturing ...in perfect Love and Truth.
When the Pharisees had heard, how that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they drew to gether, and one of them which was a doctor of law, asked a question tempting him and saying: Master, which is the chief commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him: Love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and the chief commandment. And there is another like unto this. Love thine neighbor as thyself. In these two commandments hang all the law and the Prophets.
