two men walking ...
THEN there was a division.
(PERIOD)
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.
Behold in a dread 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 walking in the light ...of THE DAY.
and soon another man came and walked with the first man.
and the two men walked in the light as though they might be friends ...
and the men walked in the LIGHT as though together in the LIGHT.
Yet the one man began to dispute with the first man...
and as they walked the disputing one ...disputed the more ....against the first man...
and more and more did the second man dispute with the first man.
and more and more the second man walk away ...to the LEFT.
and of the LEFT the same ...the way of his own thinking imaginings wants and desires.
and his especially his own judgment.
and the disputing continued as the second man argued the more...
and the second man went away ...a way of his own thinking and his own judgment...
even farther to the LEFT of his own imaginations and wants and desires and demands ...
and the second man's thoughts and judgments fell hard on the first man and all others round about ..
even as though there was no love in him...
except for himself and his won thinking and understanding and his own judgments. (PERIOD)
and the second man kept going to the darkness of the LEFT and coming back ...
and the more and more did second man dispute with the first man ...
even as the first man warned him over and over and many times to give up his own judgment ...
YET he would NOT ...
and the first man continued to walk in the light.
even as the other man came and went ...LEFT into darkness and back again ...
and the time and times came when the other man went farther and farther away ...his own way ...
and the day came when the other man screamed into the ears of the first man ...
and first man looked and the darkness appeared on the LEFT.
and in the DARKNESS a steel tunnel ...thick and heavy ...
and going down and away farther and farther into utter darkness.
and the disputing and accusing man who refused to give up his own thinking and judgments and accusing ...stood in the tunnel of darkness.
NOW the first man went into the tunnel; of darkness ...to warn and bring the other man out ...back into the LIGHT.
Yet the other man refused ...and laughed the first man to scorn.
and the first man turned his face from the other man ...
and LEFT the other man in the tunnel ...
and again the other man man only laughed of his own thinking and imaginations and judgments ...
and and the first man walked out of the hard heavy steel tunnel of utter darkness...
and a huge heavy steel door ...like a vault appeared at the entrance ( in trance) of the heavy steel tunnel of utter darkness.
and the first man closed the huge heavy steel door behind him.
even as he walked back in the light of THE DAY.
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
THE FIRST TO THE CORINTHIANS Chpt 13
Though I spake with the tongues of
men and angels, and yet had no love, I were even as sounding brass: or as
a tinkling cymbal. And though I could prophesy, and understood all
secrets, and all knowledge: yee, if I had all faith so that I
could move mountains out of their places, and yet had no love, I
were nothing. And though I bestowed all my goods to feed the poor, and
though I gave my body even that I burned, and yet had no love, it
profiteth me nothing.
Love suffereth long and is courteous. Love
envieth not. Love doth not *frowardly, swelleth not, dealeth not dishonestly,
seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh not evil, rejoiceth not
in iniquity: but rejoiceth in the truth, suffereth all things, believeth all
things, hopeth all things, endureth in all things. Though that prophesying fail,
or tongues shall cease, or knowledge vanish away, yet love falleth never away.
For our knowledge is imperfect, and our
prophesying is imperfect. But when that which is perfect is come, then that
which is imperfect shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I
understood as a child, I imagined as a child. But as soon as I was a man, I put
away childishness. Now we see in a glass, even in a dark speaking: but then
shall we see face to face. Now I know imperfectly: but then shall I know even as
I am known. Now abideth faith, hope, and love, even these three: but the chief
of these is love
*frowardly: stubbornly headstrong, contrary to love and truth.
THE FIRST EPISTLE OF ST. JOHN Chpt 3
Behold what love the father hath showed
on us that we should be called the sons of God. For this cause the world knoweth
you not, because it knoweth not him. Dearly beloved, now are we the sons of God,
and yet it doth not appear what we shall be. But we know that when it shall
appear, we shall be like him. For we shall see him as he is. And every man that
hath this hope in him, purgeth himself, even as he is pure. Whosoever committeth
sin, committeth unrighteousness also, for sin is unrighteousness. And ye know
that he appeared to take away our sins, and in him is no sin. As many as bide in
him sin not: whosoever sinneth, hath not seen him, neither hath known him.
Babes, let no man deceive you, He that doth
righteousness, is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin, is
of the devil: for the devil sinneth since the beginning. For this purpose
appeared the son of God, to loose the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of
God, sinneth not: for his seed remaineth in him, and he cannot sin, because he
is born of God. In this are the children of God known, and the children of the
devil. Whosoever doth not righteousness, is not of God, neither he that loveth
not his brother.
For this is the tidings, that ye heard from
the beginning, that we should love one another not as Cain which was of the
wicked and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works
were evil, and his brothers good. Marvel not my brethren though the world hate
you. We know that we are translated from death unto life, because we love the
brethren. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his
brother, is a man slayer. And ye know that no man slayer, hath eternal life
abiding in him.
Hereby perceive we love: that he gave his
life for us: and therefore ought we also to give our lives for the brethren.
Whosoever hath this worlds *good and seeth his brother have need: and shutteth
up his compassion from him: how dwelleth the love of God in him? My babes,
let us not love in word, neither in tongue: but with deed and in verity: for
thereby we know that we are of the verity, and can before him quiet our hearts.
But if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and knoweth all
things. Beloved, if our hearts condemn us not, then have we trust to God ward:
and whatsoever we ask we shall receive of him: because we keep his commandments,
and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.
And this is his commandment, that we believe
on the name of his son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave
commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments, dwelleth in him, and he in
him: and thereby we know that there abideth in us of the spirit which he gave us
*good (goods?)
THE FIRST EPISTLE OF ST. JOHN Chpt 4
Ye beloved, believe not every spirit but prove the spirits whether they
are of God or not, for many false Prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby
shall ye know the spirit of God. Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh, is of God. And every spirit which confesseth not that
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God. And this is that spirit of
Antichrist, of whom ye have heard, how that he should come: and even now already
is he in the world.
Little children, ye are of God and have
overcome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the world.
They are of the world, and therefore speak they of the world, and the world
heareth them. We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth us: he that is not of
God, heareth us not. Hereby know we the spirit of verity, and the spirit of
error.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love
cometh of God. And every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He
that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is love. In this appeared the love of
God to us ward, because that God sent his only begotten son into the world, that
we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God but that he
loved us, and sent his son to make agreement for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also
to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one
another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfect in us. Hereby know we:
that we dwell in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his spirit. And
we have seen and do testify that the father sent the son, which is the saviour
of the world. Whosoever confesseth that Jesus is the son of God, in him dwelleth
God, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.
God is love, and he that dwelleth in
love, dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is the love perfect in us,
that we should have trust in the day of judgment: For as he is, even so are we
in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out all
fear, for fear hath painfulness. He that feareth, is not perfect in love.
We love him, for he loved us first. If a
man say, I love God, and yet hate his brother he is a liar. For how can he that
loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, love God whom he hath not seen? And
this commandment have we of him: that he which loveth God, should love his
brother also
THE
BOOK OF WISDOM Chpt 6
Wisdom is better then strength, and a man of understanding is more worth than
one that is strong. Hear therefore ( O' ye Kings ) and understand: O' learn ye
that be judges of the ends of the earth. Give ear, ye that rule the multitudes,
and delight much people. For power is given you of the Lord, and the strength
from the Highest: which shall try your works and search out your imaginations:
How that ye being officers of his Kingdom, have not kept the law of
righteousness, nor walked after his will. Horribly and that right soon shall he
appear unto you: for an hard judgment shall they have that bear rule. Mercy is
granted unto the simple, but they that be in authority shall be sore punished.
For God which is Lord over all, shall except no mans person, neither shall he
stand in awe of any mans greatness: for he hath made the small and great, and
careth for all alike. But the mighty shall have the sorer punishment.
Unto you therefore ( O' Kings ) do I speak,
that ye may learn wisdom and not go amiss: For they that keep righteousness
shall be righteously judged: and they that are learned in righteous things,
shall find to make answer. Wherefore set your lust upon my words, and love them,
so shall ye come by nurture. Wisdom is a noble thing, and never fadeth away: yee
she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her. She
preventeth them that desire her, that she may first show herself unto them.
Whoso awaketh unto her by times, shall have no great travail, for he shall find
her sitting ready at his doors. To think upon her, is perfect understanding: and
whoso watcheth for her, shall be safe, and that soon. For she goeth about,
seeking such as are *mete for her, showeth herself cheerfully unto them in their
goings, and meeteth them with all diligence. For the unfeigned desire for
reformation is her beginning: to care for nurture is love, and love is
the keeping of her laws. Now the keeping of the laws is perfection and an
uncorrupt life, an uncorrupt life maketh a man familiar with God. And so the
desire of wisdom leadeth to the Kingdom everlasting. If your delight be then in
royal seats and scepters ( O' ye kings of the people ) set your lust upon
wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore. O' love the light of wisdom, all ye that
be rulers of the people. As for wisdom what she is, and how she came up I will
tell you, and will not hide the mysteries of God from you: but will seek her out
from the beginning of the nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light,
and will not keep back the truth: Neither will I do with consuming envy, for
such a man shall not be partaker of wisdom. But the multitude of the wise is the
welfare of the world, and a wise king is the upholding of the people. O' receive
nurture then through my words, and it shall do you good
*mete (worthy)
If ye be then risen again with Christ seek those things which are
above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on
things that are above, and not on things which are on the earth. For ye are
dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ which is our life,
shall show himself, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Mortify therefore your members which are on
the earth, fornication, uncleanness, unnatural lust, evil *concupiscence, and
covetousness which is worshipping of idols: for which things sakes the wrath of
God cometh on the children of unbelief. In which things ye walked once, when ye
lived in them.
But now put ye also away from you all
things: wrath, fierceness, maliciousness, cursed speaking, filthy speaking out
of your mouths. Lie not one to another that the old man with his works be put
off, and the new put on, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him
that made him, where is neither Gentile nor Jewe, circumcision nor
uncircumcision, Barbarous or Scythian, bond or free: but Christ is all in all
things.
Now therefore as elect of God, holy and
beloved, put on tender mercy, kindness, humbleness of minds, meekness, long
suffering, forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have
a quarrel to another: even as Christ forgave you, even so do ye. Above
all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. And
the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which peace ye are called in one
body. And see that ye be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you
plenteously in all wisdom. Teach and exhort your own selves, in psalms, and
hymns, and spiritual songs which have favour with them, singing in your hearts
to the Lord. And all things (whatsoever ye do in word or deed) do in the name of
the Lord Jesu, giving thanks to God the father by him.
Wives, submit your own selves unto your own
husbands, as it is comely in the Lord. Husbands love your wives and be not
bitter unto them. Children obey your fathers and mothers in all things, for that
is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers rate not your children, lest they be of
a desperate mind. Servants be obedient unto your bodily masters in all things:
not with eye service as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as though ye did it to the Lord, and not
unto men, for as much as ye know that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of
inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doth wrong shall receive
for the wrong that he hath done: for there is no respect of persons with God. Ye
masters do unto your servants that which is just and equal, seeing ye know that
ye also have a master in heaven
*concupiscence:
strong desire; lust of the flesh, lust of the eye, pride of goods.
THE
SECOND TO THE THESSALONIANS Chpt 2
We beseech you brethren by the coming of our Lord *Jesu Christ, and in that
we shall assemble unto him, that ye be not suddenly moved from your mind and be
not troubled neither by spirit, neither by words, nor yet by letter which should
seem to come from us, as though the day of Christ were at hand. Let no man
deceive you by any means, for the Lord cometh not, except there come a departing
first, and that, that sinful man be opened, the son of *perdition which is an
adversary, and is exalted above all that is called God, or that is worshipped:
so that he shall sit as God in that temple of God, and show himself as God.
Remember ye not, that when I was yet with
you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth: even that he
might be uttered at his time. For the mystery of that iniquity doth he already
work: till he which now only letteth, be taken out of the way. And then shall
that wicked be uttered, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his
mouth, and shall destroy with the appearance of his coming even him whose coming
is by the working of Satan, with all lying power, signs and wonders: and in all
deceivableness of unrighteousness, among them that perish: because they
received not the love of the truth, that they might have been saved.
And therefore God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe
lies: that all they might be damned which believed not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness.
But we are bound to give thanks always to
God for you brethren beloved of the Lord, for because that God hath from the
beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctifying of the spirit, and
through believing the truth, whereunto he called you by our Gospell, to obtain
the glory that cometh of our Lord *Jesu Christ.
Therefore brethren stand fast, and keep the
ordinances which ye have learned: whether it were by our preaching, or by
epistle. Our Lord Jesu Christ himself, and God our father which hath loved us,
and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort
your hearts, and establish you in all doctrine and good doing
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might have been saved.
