And measures and matters of The Truth of the "time" we are in ...how "man" ..."thought to change time and times ... teaching to fly...
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 ...

So I turned me, lifting up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, a flying book. And he said unto me: what seest thou? I answered: I see a flying book of twenty cubits long, and ten cubits broad. Then said he unto me: This is the curse, that goeth forth over the whole earth: for all thieves shall be judged after this book, and all swearers shall be judged according to the same, I will bring it forth ( saith the Lord of hosts ) so that it shall come to the house of the thief, and to the house of him, that falsely sweareth by my name: and shall remain in his house, and shall consume it, with the timber and stones thereof. Then the angel that talked with me, went forth, and said unto me: lift up thine eyes and see what this is that goeth forth. And I said: what is it? He answered: this is a measure going out. He said moreover: Even thus are they ( that dwell upon the whole earth ) to look upon. And behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and lo, a woman sat in the midst of the measure. And he said: This is ungodliness. So he cast her into the midst of the measure, and threw the lump of lead up in to an whole.
Then lift up I mine eyes, and looked: and behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings ( for they had wings like the wings of a stork ) and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the heaven. Then spake I to the angel that talked with me: whither will these bare the measure? And he said unto me: in to the land of Sinear, to build them an house: which when it is prepared, the measure shall be set there in his place.
Lo, all this have I seen with mine eye, heard with my ear, and understand it. Look what ye know, that same do I know also, neither am I inferior unto you. Nevertheless I am purposed to talk with the almighty, and my desire is to commune with God. As for you, ye are workmasters of lies, and unprofitable Physicians all together. Would God ye keep your tongue, that ye might be taken as wise men. Therefore hear my words, and ponder the sentence of my lips. Will ye make an answer for God with lies, and maintain him with deceit? Will ye except the person of God, and entreat for him? Shall that help you, when he calleth you to reckoning. Think ye to beguile him, as a man is beguiled? He shall punish you, and reprove you, if you do secretly except any person. Shall he not make you afraid, when he showeth himself? Shall not his terrible face fall upon you? your remembrance shall be like unto dust, and your pride shall be turned into clay. Hold your tongues now, and let me speak, for their is something come into my mind. Wherefore do I bare my flesh in my teeth, and my soul in my hands? Lo, there is neither comfort nor hope for me, if he will slay me. But if I show and reprove mine own ways in his sight, he is even the same that maketh me whole: And why? There may no hypocrite come before him. Hear my words, and ponder my sayings with your ears. Behold, now have I prepared my judgement, and know that I will be found righteous. What is he that will go to the law with me? For if I hold my tongue, I shall die. Nevertheless grant me two things, and then will I not hide myself from thee.
Withdraw thine hand from me, and let not the fearful dread of thee make me afraid. And then send for me to the law, that, I may answer for myself: or else, let me speak, and give thou the answer. How great are my misdeeds and sins? Let me know my transgressions and offenses. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy? Wilt thou be so cruel and extreme unto a flying leaf, and follow upon dry stubble? That thou layest so sharply to my charge, and will utterly undo me, for the sins of my youth? Thou hast put my foot in the stocks: thou lookest narrowly unto all my paths, and markest the steps of my feet: where as I ( notwithstanding ) must consume like as a foul carrion, and as a cloth that is moth eaten.Who is able to stand before me? Or, who has given me anything before hand, that I am bound to reward him again? All things under heaven are mine. I fear him not, whether he threaten or speak fair. Who lifts him up, and strips him out of his clothes, or who takes him by the bit of his bridle? Who opens the doors of his face? for he has terrible teeth round about, His body is covered with scales as if it were with shields, locked in, kept, and well compact together. One is so joined to another, that no air can come in: Yes one hangs upon another, that they cannot be sundered. His *nesings are like a glittering fire, and his eyes like the morning shine. Out of his mouth go torches and fire brands, out of his nostrils there goes smoke, like as out of an hot seesing pot. His breath makes the coals burn, the flame goes out of his mouth. In his neck remains strength, and before his face sorrow is turned to gladness. The members of his body are joined so strait one to another, that he can not be moved.
His heart is as hard as stone, and as fast as the *stithie that the hammer man smites upon. When he goes: the mightiest of all are afraid, and the waves heave. If he draw out the sword, there may neither spear, nor breast plate, abide him. He sits as much by a straw as by iron, and as much by a rotten stock as by metal. He starts not away for him that bends the bow: and as for flying stones, he cares as much for stubble as for them. He counts the hammer no better than a straw, he laughs them to scorn that shakes the spear. He treads the gold in the mire like the sharp potsherds. He makes the deep to seese and boil like a pot, and stirs the sea together like an ointment. The way is light after him, the deep is his walking place. Upon earth there is no power like unto his, for he is so made that he fears not. If a man will consider all high things, this same is a king over all the children of pride.I will love thee, ( O' Lord ) my strength. The Lord is my *succor, my refuge, my Savior: my God, my helper, in whom I will trust: my buckler, the horn of my health, and my protection.
I will praise the Lord, and call upon him, so shall I be save from mine enemies.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the brooks of ungodliness made me afraid. The pains of hell came about me, the snares of death took hold upon me.
Yet in my trouble I called upon the Lord, and complained unto my God. So he heard my voice out of his holy temple, and my complaint came before him, yee even into his ears.
Then the earth trembled and quaked, the very foundations of the hills shook and were removed, because he was wroth.
There went a smoke out of his nostrils, and a consuming fire out of his mouth, so that coals were kindled at it. He bowed the heavens, and came down, and it was dark was under his feet. He rode upon the Cherub, and did fly: he came flying with the wings of the wind. He made darkness his pavilion round about him, with dark waters and thick clouds to cover him. At the brightness of his presence the clouds removed, with hail stones and coals of fire. The Lord also thundered out of the heaven, and the height gave his thunder with hail stones and coals of fire. He sent out his arrows and scattered them, he cast sore lightnings, and destroyed them. The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of the round world were discovered at thy chiding (O' Lord) at the blasting and breath of thy displeasures.
He sent from the height to fetch me, and took me out of great waters. He delivered me from my strong enemies, and from my foes which were too mighty for me. They prevented me in the time of my trouble, but the Lord was my defense. He brought me forth also into liberty: and delivered me, because he had a favor unto me.
Woe be unto the land of *flying ships, which is this side the flood of Ethiopia: which sendeth her message over the sea in ships of reeds upon the water: and sayeth go soon, and do your message unto a strange and hard folk: to a fearful people, and to a people that is further than this: to a desperate and *pilled folk, whose land is divided from us with rivers of water. Yee all ye that sit in the compass of the world, and dwell upon the earth: when the token shall be given upon the mountains, then look up: and when the horn bloweth, then harken to, for thus hath the Lord said unto me. I lay me down, and pondered the matter in my house, at the Noon day when it was hot: And there fell a mighty shower, like a dew, as it happeneth in Harvest. But the fruits were not yet ripe cut off, and the grapes were but young and green. Then one smote off, the grapes with an hook, yee he hewed down also the boughs and the branches, and did cast them away. And thus they were layed waste, for the fowls of the mountains, and for the beasts of the earth together. So that the fowls sat there upon, and the beasts of the earth wintered there. Then shall there be a present brought to the Lord of Hosts: even that hard folk, that fearful folk, and that further is then this: that desperate and pilled folk ( whose land is divided from us with floods of water ) unto the place of the name of the Lord of Hosts: even unto the hill of Sion.
And get thee up by times, for thy light cometh, and the glory of the Lord shall rise upon thee. For lo, while the darkness and cloud covereth the earth and the people, the Lord shall show the light, and his glory shall be seen in thee. The Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness that springeth forth upon thee. Lift up thine and look round about thee: All these gather themselves, and come to thee. Sons shall come unto thee from far, and daughters shall gather themselves to thee on every side. When thou seest this thou shall marvel exceedingly, and thine heart shall be opened: when the power of the sea shall be converted unto thee ( that is ) when the strength of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. The multitude of Camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Madian and Epha. All they of Saba shall come, bringing gold and incense, and showing the praise of the Lord. All the cattle of Cedar shall be gathered unto thee, the rams Nabaioth shall serve thee, to be offered upon mine altar, which I have chosen, and in the house of my glory which I have garnished. But what are these that flee here like clouds, and as the doves flying to their windows?
For thus saith the Lord: Behold, the enemy shall come flying as an *Aegle, and shall spread his wings upon Moab. They shall climb over the walls, and win the strongholds. Then the mighty mens hearts in Moab shall be like the heart of a woman travailing with child.
*Aegle (Eagle) Cap A ; elsewhere see: Eagle; 4th Esdras, Revelation also see modern "Moab".
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will also upon your pillows, wherewith ye catch the souls in flying: them will I take from your arms, and let the souls go, that ye catch in flying. Your bolsters also will I tear in pieces, and deliver my people out of your hand: so that they shall come no more in your hands to be spoiled, and ye shall know, that I am the Lord. Seeing that with your lies you discomfort the heart of the righteous, whom I have not discomforted: Again: For so much as ye courage the hand of the wicked, so that he may not turn from his wicked way, and live: therefore shall ye spy out no more vanity, nor prophecy your own guessings: for I will deliver my people out of your hand, that ye may know, how that I am the Lord.

Then said he unto me: This is the curse, that goeth forth over the whole earth: for all thieves shall be judged after this book, and all swearers shall be judged according to the same, I will bring it forth ( saith the Lord of hosts ) so that it shall come to the house of the thief, and to the house of him, that falsely sweareth by my name: and shall remain in his house, and shall consume it, with the timber and stones thereof.

The Lord of hosts shall defend them, they shall consume and devour, and subdue them with flying stones. They shall drink and rage, as it were through wine. They shall be filled like the basins, and as the horns of the alter. The Lord their God shall deliver them in that day, as the flock of his people: for the stones of his Sanctuary shall be set up in his land. O how prosperous and goodly a thing shall that be: The corn shall make the young men cheerful, and the new wine the maidens.
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 15
And then shall there come great rains from the South and from the North, and part from the West, and from the stormy wind from the East, and shall shut them up again, and the cloud which he raised up in wrath, and the star to cause fear toward the East and West wind, shall be destroyed: and the great clouds shall be lift up, and the mighty clouds full of wrath, and the star, that they may make all the earth afraid and them that dwell therin, and that they may pour out over all places an horrible star, fire and hail and flying swords, and many waters: that all fields may be full, and all rivers, and they shall break down the cities and walls, mountains and hills, all trees, wood, and the grass of the meadows, and all their fruit. And they shall go steadfast into Babylon, and make her afraid, they shall come to her and besiege her: the star and all wrath shall they pour out upon her.
Then shall the dust and smoke go up unto heaven, and all they that be about her, shall bewail her: and they that remain under her, shall do service unto them that have put her in fear: And thou Asia that comfort thyself also upon the hope of Babylon, and art a worshipper of her person: Woe be unto thee thou wretch, because thou hast made thyself like unto her, and hast decked thy daughters in whoredom, that they might triumph and please thy lovers, which have always desired to commit whoredom with thee: thou hast followed the abominable city in all her works and inventions.
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN THE DIVINE Chpt 4
And out of the seat proceeded lightnings, and thunderings, and voices, and there were seven lamps of fire, burning before the seat, which are the seven spirits of God. And before the seat there was a sea of glass like unto crystal, and in the midst of the seat, and round about the seat were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. And the four beasts had each one of them six wings about him, and they were full of eyes with in. And they had no rest day neither night saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN THE DIVINE Chpt 8
And the third Angel blew, and there fell a great star from heaven burning as it were a lamp, and it fell into the third part of the rivers, and into fountains of waters, and the name of the star is called wormwood. And the third part was turned to wormwood. A many men died of the waters because they were made bitter. And the fourth Angel blew, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of stars: so that the third part of them was darkened. And the day was smitten that the third part of it should not shine, and likewise the night. And I beheld and heard an Angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice: Woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth because of the voices to come of the trumpet of the three Angels which were yet to blow.
