God's Truth: within a man ...within a church...

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 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 within the man ...was truth ...God's truth ...

and he loved the truth within ...

even within his soul and spirit and heart and mind ...

and he was taken to a church of others ...

and bound by custom to be quiet and sit in certain place ...

even the place where his inviters were allowed to sit ...

and sat ...by custom ...

and why ? for everyone there sat in certain places ...

even as they were allowed ...within ...with in the church ...

and was made to wear certain clothing ...a costume ...of custom ...

evenso the man who loved the truth ...sat in the midst of those that loved the church ...

and Yet he could hear nothing ...

even as though it was all ...dead silence ...

nevertheless the lovers of church ...watched upon the lover of truth ...

and that to see if he would make the slightest noise ...or act ...up ...any way ...not allowed ...within ... the church ...

and the time of dead silence passed ...

and all were let out of the place ...

and went for the door ...like escaping ...confinement ...

and on the grounds of the church there was a dead dog ...

and the carcass was so very rotten ...

even like it had rose up from and old grave ...that were all roundabout the church ...grounds ...

and the man who loved the truth ...looked around ...

and it was like none of the lovers of church ...could see the dead dogs body ...laying there ...

even like it was unseen thing... to any and all ...as they went their ways ...into the world ...

even after they had went to their church ...that they loved ...

and felt justified ...

even if by ...just their attendance ...

and other measures of matters ...churchly ...shown ....

and a scripture came back to remembrance ...

THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN THE DIVINE Chpt 22

And he showed me a pure river of water of life clear as Crystal: proceeding out of the seat of God and of the lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river was there wood of life: which bare twelve manner of fruits: and gave fruit every month: and the leaves of the wood served to heal the people with all. And there shall be no more curse, but the seat of God and the lamb shall be in it: and his servants shall serve him. And they shall see his face, and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there, and they need no candle, neither light of the sun: for the Lord Giveth them light, and they shall reign for evermore.
      And he said unto me: these sayings are faithful and true. And the Lord God of Saints and Prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants, the things which must shortly be fulfilled. Behold I come shortly. Happy is he that keepeth the saying of the prophecy of this book. I am John which saw these things and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down, to worship before the feet of the Angel which showed me these things. And he said unto me: see thou do it not, for I am thy fellow servant and the fellow servant of thy brethren the Prophets and of them which keep the sayings of this book. But worship God.
      And he said unto me: seal not the sayings of the prophesy of this book. For the time is at hand. He that doth evil, let him do evil still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be more righteous: and he that is holy, let him be more holy. And behold I come shortly, and my reward with me, to give every man according as his deeds shall be. I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end: the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that their power may be in the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without shall be dogs and enchanters and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth or maketh leasings.
      I Jesus sent mine angel, to testify unto you these things in the congregations. I am the root and the generation of David, and the bright morning star. And the spirit and the bride said come. And let him that heareth, say also, come. And let him that is a thirst, come. And let whosoever will, take of the water of life, free.
      I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: *If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall minish of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from those things which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith: be it, I come quickly, Amen.
Even so: come Lord Jesu.
The grace of our Lord Jesu Christ be with you all:
Amen.

The Truth of the "time" we are in ...
