And the measures and matters of The Truth of the "time" we are in ...how "man" ..."thought to change time and times ... what do i need a church for ??? absolutely nothin ... 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 nighmare of the dark season ...of the times and time ..of the season of man ...see son of man ...
now i was ...as it is ...traveling upon the face of the world ...
and with me was one like unto my daughter ...and another like unto my son ...and i did not know it at the time ...yet there were others that we would meet ...
and we were looking for a place where any could get into the waters ...like for swimming ...
and we traveled the roads and high ways that were builded ...and everywhere ...was the waters bought up ...and no place could be found ...to swim ...or get to the waters ....
and even everywhere either bought up and no access ..or all people had to pay ...pay to get near the waters ..even waters of rivers ...ponds ...or lakes ...all of all was blocked off ...owned ...or made into a business ...
and no free way ...free way into the waters anywhere that could be found ...
and we looked in cities ...and farm land and small towns ...and there was no place left ...of any worthy waters ...where any could get to freely ...where the water was clean ...or even clean enough to swim in ...
and still we looked the more ..and the more ...and behold we came to bridge ...and the bridge was very narrow ...so only one could cross ...cross at a time ...
and i looked an many people were gathered there at the bridge ...and all were talking about the same thing ...namely how hot it was ...and that were were no free places to go ...to get to refreshing waters ...
nevertheless some had thought to go down under the bridge ...and there to get in the waters ...
and another said oh ..oh ...not so ...for if every place is owned ...and restricted ...evenso is the bridge ...for the bridge and the waters are owned too ...even by the government ...and law is ...that it is illegal ...to swim under the bridge ...
nevertheless i saw a woman sneak around under the bridge to go down to the waters ...and i was told that many others were there too ...
in that place where it was forbidden and laws made against it ...for every place else was sold or owned ...an no place left ...
Now in an instant ...i was turned around ...and there were manyous peoples ...in and of the world ...and they were passing time ...in the things of the world ...and one day was like another and nothing seemed to change ...only more used up and costly and harder to have life and living ...
even untill there was no life to living ...only existing and getting by ...
and i there was a soul there that had afore been in desperate ways of heart and mind and soul ...even unto death ...
and that soul had received of God our father and Jesus our brother and Lord ...and received in spirit and truth ...of life saving ..and keeping them safe ...
and that soul had of truth and realness received of God and Christ ...and told their witness of the same ...
and i asked how that one was doing for i had seen that soul now and then ...coming and going in and out of the world of the worldly ...and i wondered how that soul did do ...
and a man came to me and had good news ....for he said that he too had seen the soul and that the soul was doing well ...and being ...being kept safe and saved ...
and upon hearing this ...i was so injoyed ...happy ...filled that i began to tell any and all that might hear ...of the blessed wonderfull healing of God our father and Jesus our brother and Lord ...and rejoyed ...rejoiced ...in the realness ...of being kept safe and saved ...in spirit and truth ...
and unknown to me ...yet there were some ...that heard what had come over me ...and my witness ...of the witness ...for the glory to God our father and for Jesus sake ...
and of these some they were gathered there too ...at the bridge ...yet not to go over ...no not even to look for water ...no these were gathered together to go to their own church ...
Nevertheless when the heard the mention of Jesus ...they said ...oh you should come to our church ...and i was shown in an instant ...that whosoever had a witness ...could be used within the churches ...a merchandising ...of witnesses ...
and an loud shout came out of my mouth and i said "what do i need a church for ???" and so much so that most everyone heard it ...
and the first to come from their mouth was a lie ...Word of God changed by and for the churches ...saying [Heb 10:25] Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
and the truth is ...Heb 10 ... and let us not forsake the fellowship that we have among ourselves, as the manner of some is: but let us exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth nigh.
and the more i was given to speak into the face ...of those that expected that i would come to their church ...
for the truth of God and Christ comes to heal and make whole ...to save and keep safe ..any of heart willing ...willing to receive ...in spirit and truth ...
and for those that would be of the spirit ... spiritual ...that even the spirit of God and Christ ...mend and heal our spirits ...to health and happiness ...even life and living ...and even our flesh ...
and again came the shout out of mine heart ..."what do i need a church for ???"
and came to remembrance ...a scripture ...of who and how we are made into merchandise
There were false Prophets among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you: which privily shall bring in damnable sects, even denying the Lord that hath bought them, and bring upon themselves swift damnation, and many shall follow their damnable ways, by which the way of truth shall be evil spoken of, and through covetousness shall they with *feigned words make merchandise of you, whose judgment is not far off, and their damnation sleepeth not.
And the Jewes *ester was even at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and found sitting in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and changers of money. And he made a scourge of small cords, and drave them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen, and poured out the changers money, and overthrew the tables, and said unto them that sold doves: Have these things hence, and make not my fathers house an house of merchandise. And his disciples remembered, how that it was written: the zeal of thine house hath even eaten me.
And Jesus answered and spake unto them again, in similitudes, saying. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain King, which married his son, and sent forth his servants, to call them that were bid to the wedding, and they would not come. Again he sent forth other servants, saying. Tell them which are bidden: behold I have prepared my dinner, mine oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready, come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways: one to his *firm place, another about his merchandise, the remnant took his servants and intreated them ungodly and slew them. When the king heard that, he was wroth, and sent forth his warriors and destroyed those murderers, and burnt up their city.
“help” from the Hebrew (excluded from most "bibles of men")O' my people, hear my word, make you ready to the battle: and in all evil be as pilgrims upon the earth He that selleth, let him be as he that flyeth his way: and he that buyeth, as one that will lease. Who so occupieth merchandise, as he that winneth not: and he that buildeth, as he that shall not dwell therin: he that soweth, as one that shall not reap: he that twisteth the vineyard, as he that shall not gather the grapes: they that marry, as they that shall get no children: and they that marry not, as the widows: and therefore they that labor, labor in vain. For strangers shall reap their fruits, and spoil their goods, overthrow their houses, and take their children captive, for in captivity and hunger shall they get children. And they that occupy their merchandise with robbery, how long deck they their cities, their houses, their possessions, their persons? the more will I punish them for their sins, sayeth the Lord. Like as an whore envieth an honest woman, so shall righteousness hate iniquity, when she decketh herself, and shall accuse her to her face, when he cometh that defendeth, which shall make inquisition for all sin upon the earth. And therefore be not ye like thereunto, near to the works thereof: for or ever it be long, iniquity shall be taken away out of the earth, and righteousness shall reign among you.
I have set thee upon the holy mount of God, there hast thou been, and walked among the fair glittering stones. From the time of thy creation thou hast been right excellent, till wickedness was found in thee. Because of thy great merchandise, thy heart is full of wickedness, and thou hast offended. Therefore will I cast thee from the mountain of God ( O thou covering Cherub ) and destroy thee among the glittering stones. Thy heart was proud in thy fair beauty, and through thy beauty thou hast destroyed thy wisdom. I will cast thee down to the ground, and that in the sight of kings. Thou hast defiled thy Sanctuary, with the great wickedness of thy unrighteous occupying. I will bring a fire from the midst of thee, to consume thee: and will make thee to ashes, in the sight of all them that look upon thee. All they that have been acquainted with thee among the Heathen shall be abashed at thee: seeing thou art so clean brought to naught, and comest no more up.
The word of the Lord came unto me, saying: O thou son of man, make lamentable complaint upon Tyre, and say upon Tyre, which is a port of the sea, that occupieth with much people, and many Isles: Thus saith the Lord God: O Tyrus, thou hast said: what, I am a noble city: thy borders are in the midst of the seas, and thy builders have made thy marvelous goodly. All thy tables have they made of Cypress trees of the mount Sanir. From Libanus have they taken Cedar trees, to make the masts: and the Oaks of Basan to make the rowers.
Thy boards have they made of ivory, and of costly wood out of the Isle of Cethim. Thy sail was of white small needle work out of the land of Egypt, to hang upon thy mast: and thy hangings of yellow silk purple, out of the Isles of Elisah. They of Sidon and Arnad were thy mariners, and the wisest in Tyre were thy shipmasters. The eldest and wisest at Gebal were they, that mended and stopped thy ships. All ships of the sea with their shipment occupied their merchandise in thee. The Perses, Lidians and the Libians were in thine host, and helped thee to fight: these hanged up their shields and helmets with thee, these set forth thy beauty. They of Arnad were with thine host round about thy walls, and were thy watchmen upon thy towers, they hanged their shields round about thy walls, and made thee marvelous goodly. Tharsis occupied with thee in all manner of wares, in silver, iron, tin, and lead, and made thy market great. Javan, Tubal and Mesech were thy merchants, which brought the men, and ornaments of metal, for thy occupying. They of the house of Thogarma brought unto thee at the time of thy mart, horse, horsemen and mules. They of Dedan were thy merchants: and many other Isles that occupied with thee, brought thee *wethers, elephant bones and Paycockes for a present. The Syrians occupied with thee, because of thy diverse works, and increased thy merchandise, with *Smaragdes, with scarlet, with needle work, with white linen cloth, with silk and with Crystal.
Judah and the land of Israel occupied with thee, and brought unto thy markets, wheat, balm, honey, oil and *triacle. Damascus also used merchandises with thee, in the best wine and white wool: because thy occupying was so great, and thy wares so many. Dan, Javan, and Mevsall have brought unto thy markets, iron ready made, with Casia, and Calamus, according to thine occupying. Dedan occupied with thee, in fair tapestry work and *quishins. Aribia and all the princes of Cedar have occupied with thee, in sheep, wethers, and goats.
The merchants of Sheba and *Rema, have occupied with also with thee, in all costly spices, in all precious stones and gold, which they brought unto thy markets. Haran, Chenne, and Eden, the merchants of Saba, Assiria, and Chelmad, were all doers with thee and occupied with thee: In costly raiment, of yellow silk and needle work ( very precious, and therefore packed and bound together with ropes ) Yee and in Cedar wood, at the time of thy markets. The ships of Tharsis were the chief of thy occupying.
Thus thou art full, and in great worship, even in the midst of the sea. Thy mariners were ever bringing unto thee out of many waters. But the east wind shall over bear thee into the midest of the sea: so that thy wares, thy merchandise, thy riches, thy mariners, thy shipmasters, thy helpers, thy occupiers ( that brought the things necessary ) the men of war that, are in thee: Yee and all thy *comens shall perish in the midst of the sea, in the day of thy fall. The suburbs shall shake at the loud cry of thy shipmen. All whirry men, and all mariners upon the sea, shall leap out of their boats, and set themselves upon the land. They shall lift up their voice because of thee, and make a lamentable cry. They shall cast up dust upon their heads, and lay down in the ashes. They shall shave themselves, and put sackcloth upon them for thy sake.
They shall mourn for thee with heartfull sorrow, and heavy lamentation, yee their children also will weep for thee. Alas, what city hath been so destroyed in the sea, as Tyre is? When thy wares and merchants came from the seas, thou gavest all people enough. The kings of the earth hast thou made rich, through the multitude of thy wares and occupying: But thou art now cast down in to the deep of the sea, all thy resort of people is perished with thee. All they that dwell in the Isles are abashed at thee, and all their kings are afraid, yee their faces have changed color. The merchants of the nations wonder at thee. In that thee are so clean brought to naught, and comest no more up.
*wethers = a castrated male sheep:ram. *Smaragdes=may be "samara" winged seeds, also called "key fruit" like unto ash, elm, or maple. *quishins; unknown maybe cushions *triacle=treaAcle 1.

He shall slay thy people with the sword, and break down the pillars of thy strength. They shall waste away thy riches, and spoil thy merchandise. Thy walls shall they break down, and destroy thy houses of pleasure. Thy stones, thy timber and foundations shall they cast in the water. Thus will I bring the melody of thy songs, and the voice of thy minstrelsy to an end, so they shall be no more heard. I will a bare stone of thee, yee a drying place for nets, an shall never be builded again: Forever I the Lord have spoken it, saith the Lord God: Thus hath the Lord God spoken concerning Tyre, The isles shall be moved at the noise of thy fall, and at the cry of the slain, that shall be murdered in thee. All Kings of the sea shall come down from their seats regal: they shall lay away their robes, and put off their costly clothing: Yee with trembling shall they be clothed, they shall sit upon the ground: they shall be afraid at thy sudden fall, and be abashed at thee.
After that, shall seventy years of Tyrus, even as long as their Kings life was) be forgotten. And after seventy years, shall it happen to Tyrus as with an harlot that playeth upon the lute. Take thy lute ( say men to her) and go about the city, thou art yet an unknown wench, make pastime with diverse ballads, whereby thou mayest come into acquaintance. Thus shall it happen after seventy years. The lord shall visit the city of Tyrus, and it shall come again to her merchandise, and shall occupy with all the kingdoms that be in the world. But all her occupying and wining shall be hallowed unto the Lord. For then shall they lay up nothing behind them nor upon heaps: but the merchandise of Tirus shall belong to the citizens of the Lord, to feeding and suffering of the hungry, and to the clothing of the aged.
Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstlings of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenteousness, and thy presses shall flow over with new wine. My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither faint when thou are rebuked of him. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth: and yet delighteth in him even as a father in his own son. Well is him that findeth wisdom, and obtaineth understanding, for the getting of it is better than any merchandise of silver, and the profit is better than gold. Wisdom is more worth than precious stones, and all the things that thou canst desire, are not to be compared unto her. Upon her right hand is long life, and upon her left hand is riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and her paths are peaceable. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and blessed are they that keep her fast.
