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 business ...in the wilderness ...
nevertheless the business was beside a highway of the world ...
and appeared ...all neat and clean ...equitable and honorable and fair ...
and the business was prosperous ... prosper us ...
and there was buying and selling a plenty ...
and the owner of the business was happy ...
even proud ...
now there began a robbing ...by the owner ...a little here a little there ...
and he robbed his own store ...
and he robbed his employees ...
again ...a little here ...a little there ...
evenso none would notice much ...
Nevertheless ...the employees saw as much ...and knew ...
and began the same ...robbing ...a little here ...a little there ...
evenso there was one worthy worker ...who feared God and Christ ...and loved the ways in spirit and truth ...
and who would not rob ...neither steal or lie ...
evenso of the others the robbing continued ...the more ...a little more here ...a little more there ...
and the business appeared on a road ...
and by the way of the road were twisted briar and thorn bushes ...
and the tangle of the weeds was so dense none could barely get through ...
and the more ...the more customers began to rob and steal ...
and the unworthy workers made agreement with the thieves ...
even as the owner did ...
even by license and contract and wicked agreement ...
and i looked and the whole business was like an old junk yard ...wrapped in a labyrinth of weeds and thorns and briars and twisted vines of wickedness ...
and worse ...people like unto beasts appeared ...and robbed the more...and threatened murder maiming extortion and vile viciousness ...
and the workers of the world fled ...being afraid ...and looked for jobs at other businesses ...
and the owner tried to hide ...yet got caught in all the labyrinth of weeds and thorns and briars and twisted vines of wickedness ...
and the worthy worker tried to help the owner ...to show him ...the way ...out of the labyrinth of weeds and thorns and briars and twisted vines of wickedness ...
even as the owner fled full of fear ...ripped and raged and ragged ...
Yet i was not shown if the owner was able to be helped ...
even of the worthy worker who feared not ...the in a labyrinth of weeds and thorns and briars and twisted vines of wickedness ...
neither feared he the people like unto beasts who robbed the more...and threatened murder maiming extortion and vile viciousness ...
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt6
I answered then, and said: O' Lord, Lord, if I have found favor in thy sight, I beseech thee, show thy servant the end of the tokens, whereof thou showest me part the last night. So he answered and said unto me: Stand up upon thy feet, and hear the perfect voice and sound. There shall come a great motion, but the place where thou standest will not be moved. And therefore when thou hearest the words be not afraid: for of the end shall the word and the foundation of the earth be understand. And why? the word thereof trembleth and quaketh, for it knoweth, that it must be changed at the end. And it happened, that when I heard it, I stood up upon my feet, and harkened: And behold there was a voice that spake, and the sound of it was like the sound of many waters, and it said. Behold, the days come, that I will begin to draw near, and to visit them that dwell upon the earth, and will begin to make inquisition of them, what they be that have hurt equity with unrighteousness, and when the low estate of Sion shall be fulfilled: and when the world, that shall vanish away, shall be oversealed, then will I do these tokens.
The books shall be opened before the firmament, and they shall see altogether, and the children of a year old shall speak with their voices: the women with child shall bring forth untimely children of three or four months old, and they shall live, and be raised up: and suddenly shall the sown places appear as the unsewn, the full store houses shall suddenly be found empty, and the trumpet shall give a sound, which when every man hearth, they shall be hastily afraid. At that time shall friends fight against one another like enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with them.
The springs of the wells shall stand still, and in three hours they shall not run. Whosoever remaineth from all these things that I have told thee, shall escape, and see my salvation, and the end of your world. And the men that are received, shall see it, they that have not tasted death from their birth: and the heart of the indwellers shall be changed, and turned into another meaning: for evil shall be put out, and deceit shall be quenched. As for faith, it shall flourish, corruption shall be over come: and the truth, which hath so long been without fruit, shall be declared. And it happened when he talked with me, that I looked demurely upon him, before whom I stood, and these words said he unto me: I am come to show thee, the time of the night for to come.
Then shall he swear and say: I can not help you. Moreover, there is neither meat nor clothing in my house, make me no ruler of the people. For Jerusalem and Juda must decay, because both their words and counsel are against the Lord, they provoke the presence of his Majesty unto anger. The changing of their countenance betrayeth them, yee they declare their own sins themselves, as the Sodomites, and hide them not. Woe be unto their souls, for they shall be heavily rewarded. Then shall they say: O happy are the godly, for they may enjoy the fruits of their studies. But woe be unto the ungodly and unrighteous for they shall be rewarded after their works. O my people, *ribaudes oppress thee, and women have rule of thee. O my people, thy leaders deceive thee, and tread out the way of thy footsteps. The Lord is here to commune of the matter, and standeth to give judgement with the people. The Lord shall come forth to reason with the Senators and princes of his people, and shall say thus unto them: It is ye that have burnt up my vineyard, the robbery of the poor is in your house. Wherefore do ye oppress my people, and marred the faces of the innocents? thus shall the Lord God of Hosts revile them.
*ribaudes ( extortioners :MN).
Into Magog, and among those that sit carelessly in the isles: will I send a fire, and they shall know, that I am the Lord. I will make also the name of my holiness to be known among my people of Israel: and I will not let my holy name be evil spoken of any more: but the very Heathen also shall know, that I am the Lord, the holy one in Israel. Behold, it cometh, and shall be fulfilled in deed, saith the Lord God. This is the day whereof I have spoken: They that dwell in the cities of Israel, shall go forth and set fire upon the weapons, and burn them: shields and spears, bows and arrows, bills and clubs: handstaves, seven years shall they be burning thereof, so that they shall else bring no sticks from the field, neither have need to hew down any out of the wood: For they shall have weapons now to burn. They shall rob those that robbed them, and spoil those that spoiled them, saith the Lord God.
