Genesis 1:1
In the beginning ELOHIM
created
the heavens
and the earth,
In the beginning ELOHIM
created
the heavens
and the earth,
The revelation of
JESUS CHRIST
which
GOD
gave Him to show His bond-servants
what must soon become reality.
He made this revelation known by sending it through His angel to His servant
JOHN,
The Song of Songs, belonging to SOLOMON.
The words of QOHELETH,
the son
of DAVID,
the king
in JERUSALEM. (See comments below.)
Is there anything whereof one can say, “See, this is new”? It was here long ago, in the ages before us.
And ELOHIM called the dry portions “land,”
and the gathering together of the waters He called “seas.”
And ELOHIM saw that it was good.
I was in the spirit on the LORD’S day,
and I heard a loud voice,
behind me,
like a trumpet.
Your cheeks
are beautiful with ornament
your neck
with strings
of jewels.
and all the crowd of those gathered were praying outside at the hour of incense.
So that you may be unmixed
and not cause anyone to stumble
until the day of CHRIST.
And there appeared to him an angel
of the LORD standing by
the altar of incense,
on its right side.
He said, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven
churches, to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
I will make you
ornaments
of gold,
studded with silver.
There is no memory of that which came before,
neither will that which comes later be remembered by those who come after that time.
And ELOHIM said, “I command the earth to bring forth green plants that sprout, plants that yield their seed, and fruit-trees that yield fruit according to their kind with their seed inside the fruit, growing above the ground, and it was so.
Then the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their kind, and fruit-bearing trees according to their kind, whose seed is in them. And ELOHIM saw that it was good.
I turned to see
the voice speaking to me,
and when I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands
While the king
is at his table,
my nard
spreads
its fragrance.
I, QOHELETH,
became king
over ISRAEL,
in JERUSALEM.
And having seen him ZACHARIAH’S emotions were stirred up inside him
and fear fell upon him.
Then the angel said to him, “ZACHARIAH,
do not fear, for your request
has been heard
and your wife ELIZABETH will bear you a son
and you will call his name JOHN.
Having believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit
I gave my heart to the task of using wisdom to repeatedly investigate and explore all that is done under heaven; here is my conclusion: ELOHIM
has given the sons of Adam a vexing task
to be engaged in so as to humble us.
And there were evening and morning, the third day.
Among
the lampstands
there was one
resembling
the SON OF MAN;
He was clothed to the feet [in a long robe];
encircling Him was a belt
made of gold
and His golden belt
reached his chest.
The love of my life is to me like a pouch
of myrrh
that spends the night between my breasts.
His head
and His hair
were white as wool,
white like snow,
and his eyes
were like a flame of fire.
My Love is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
in the vineyards
of EN GEDI.
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun, and wow,
all of it is
like a vapor,
like trying to
catch the wind.
Then ELOHIM said, “I command lights to appear in the beaten surface of the heavens to separate the interval between the day and the night, and let them be for signs of seasons and days and years.
who is the security deposit of our inheritance, to the ransom of His possession, to the praise of His glory.
He will be your joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
and he will be great in the LORD’S eyes;
he will not
drink wine and fermented, intoxicating drink,
and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.
And let them serve as lights in the beaten surface of the heavens in order to give light upon the earth,” and it was so.
Look at you!
You are beautiful, my Love!
I am amazed at how beautiful you are! Your eyes
are doves.
His feet were like fine bronze which is refined in a furnace. His voice
was like the sound of many waters.
What is bent cannot be straightened, and what is lacking
cannot be counted.
I said to myself, “See, I have grown great by my own efforts; I have caused myself to grow
in wisdom more than all that have been before me in
JERUSALEM, and my heart has greatly experienced wisdom
and knowledge.
All things have been created by
Him and for Him.
And God made two great lights; the greater light to power
the day, and the lesser light to demonstrate its power
during the night; and He made the stars.
Behold, you are handsome, my Love!
Also you are delightful.
Besides that our bed
is green.
He was holding seven stars
in his right hand,
and out of His mouth
came a two-edged sword,
and his face
was like the sun
shining in its full strength.
And the hearts of many of the sons of ISRAEL
he will turn
to the LORD their GOD.
And he will precede Him in the spirit and power of ELIJAH,
to turn the hearts of fathers to their children,
and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and to
make ready a people prepared
for the [coming of] the LORD.” (See comment below.)
The heavy beams
of our house are cedars;
our grooved ceiling boards
are firs.
When I saw Him
I fell at his feet,
as though dead;
but he placed His right hand upon me
saying,
“Do not fear,
I am the first and the last.
I gave my heart
to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly, and I learned
that this also is like trying to catch the wind.
And God assigned them their places in the beaten surface of the heavens
in order to give light upon the earth,
and to rule over the day and over the night and to separate between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
I am the living one,
I was dead but behold,
I live Forever and forever.
I have the keys of death and HADES.”
For in much wisdom there is provocation to anger,
and he who increases knowledge, increases pain.
Then ZACHARIAH spoke to the angel and said, “By what will I know this,
for indeed I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in her years?”
Now the birth of JESUS CHRIST came about thusly; MARY his mother, having been betrothed to JOSEPH was found to be holding something in her womb,
put there by the Holy Spirit, even before they came together.
And answering, the angel said to him, “I am GABRIEL
and I stand before God;
I was sent to speak to you and give you these glad tidings.
Moreover, her husband, JOSEPH, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her into a disgraceful public show,
purposed to release
her privately.
For He (God) approved
of having all fullness
dwell in Him (Jesus)
And there was evening, and there was morning, the fourth day. (See comment below.)
“Therefore, write the things you have seen—the things that are
and those that are about to take place after them.
who testified about everything
he saw concerning the word of GOD
and the testimony of
JESUS
CHRIST.
Let him kiss me
with the kisses
of his mouth,
for your love is more delightful than wine.
“The most vapor-like
of all vapors,”
says the convener of the assembly,
“the most vapor-like of all vapors, everything is like a vapor.”
and the earth was
shapeless and empty,
and darkness
was over the face of the sea,
and the Spirit of ELOHIM
hovered
above the face of the waters. (See comment below.)
Then ELOHIM said, “Swarm, oh waters, with swarming creatures that have life in them, and fly, oh birds, above the earth, in the face
of the expansive, solid, arched surface of the heavens.”
The mystery
of the
seven stars you saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches,
and the seven golden lampstands are the seven churches.”
and by Him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace by the blood of His cross, [yes, to reconcile all things] by Him,
whether things on the earth or things in the heavens.
Now behold,
you will be silent and unable to speak until the day when these things take place because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their proper time.”
But, after he had considered
these things, behold, an angel of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying,
“JOSEPH
do not be afraid to take MARY
as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is indeed from the Holy Spirit.
Meanwhile the people were expecting ZACHARIAH
and they wondered at his delay inside the temple.
She will bear a son
and you will call his name JESUS
for He will save His people from their sins.
And
ELOHIM created the great sea creatures, and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teem, according to its kind, and every flying creature
that uses wings to fly
according to its kind.
Moreover, when he did come out, he was unable to speak to them and they realized that he had seen a vision while in the temple.
All this has come to pass in order to fulfill what was spoken by the LORD through the prophet,
saying,
He has placed His seal on us, and He has given the down payment
of the Holy Spirit into our hearts
Then ELOHIM blessed them saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas; and multiply, oh birds, upon the earth.”
And there was evening, and there was morning, the fifth day.
And then, when the time of his service was completed, he returned to his home.
‘Behold, the young lady
will hold something in her womb, and will bear a son, and they will call his name IMMANUEL,
which translated
means, GOD IS WITH US.’”
Moreover, after this, his wife, ELIZABETH, became pregnant and she hid herself for five months,
saying,
And when JOSEPH
woke from his dream, he did as the angel
of the LORD had commanded
him;
he took
his wife,
Then ELOHIM said, “Bring forth, oh earth, living creatures according to their kind,
including
the large easily domesticated animals, the small gliding animals,
and the lively,
freely roving animals
according to their kind. And it was so.
And ELOHIM made the lively, freely roving animals
according to their kind, the large easily domesticated animals according to their kind, and the small gliding animals
according to their kind. And ELOHIM saw that it was good. (See comment below.)
“for the LORD has done this for me, in the days in which He looked upon me, He took away my disgrace
among men.”
but he did not know her
until she brought forth a son, and he called His name JESUS.
In the sixth month
THEOS
sent
the angel GABRIEL to a city in GALILEE
the name
of which was NAZARETH,
Then ELOHIM said, “We
will make
man
in our image
and according to our likeness,
and he shall rule over
the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the livestock and over all the earth and over everything that creeps on the earth.
So ELOHIM
created man in His own image; in the image of ELOHIM He created him,
male and female He created them.
to a virgin who was promised in marriage to a man named JOSEPH, who was of the house of DAVID; the virgin’s name was MARY.
And having come to her he said, “Grace
to you,
O recipient of grace,
for THE LORD is with
you.”
And ELOHIM blessed them and ELOHIM said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue
it, and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves lightly and swiftly on the earth. (See comment below.)
And ELOHIM said, “Behold, I have given to you every plant which bears seed on the face of the earth, and every tree in which the fruit of the tree contains seed, it shall be for food.
At that statement she became intensely troubled deep inside, and she debated
with herself about what sort
of greeting this might be.
And ELOHIM said,
“Oh light,
come into being,”
and light came into existence. (See comment below.)
Blessed is the one who reads this, and blessed are those who listen while this word of prophecy
is read to them, and blessed are those who keep the things that have been written in it, for the time is near.
Because of the fragrance
of your pleasing aromatic oils,
your name
is like aromatic oil
poured out.
No wonder the virgins
love you!
What advantage does a man have from all the toilsome work at which he toils
under the sun?
And the angel said, “Do not fear, MARY, for you have indeed found favor
with GOD;
And to every lively beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every animal that moves quickly over the ground in which the breath of life lives,
I have given green plants for food.”
And it was so.
Then ELOHIM
looked at all that He had made, and behold,
it was very good!
It was evening, and it was morning, the sixth day.
and Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and you will call his name JESUS.
He will be powerful, and will be called the SON OF
THE MOST HIGH GOD,
and the LORD GOD
will give Him
the throne of His father DAVID,
and He will reign over the house of JACOB
through all ages, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
But MARY said to the angel, “How will this be, since I know no man?”
And answering, the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the MOST HIGH will overshadow
you, therefore also the holy one being born will be called the SON OF GOD.
And behold, ELIZABETH, your relative, has conceived
a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month
for the one that was called barren.
For no word
will be impossible with GOD.”
Then MARY said, “Behold, I am a slave
of the LORD, may it be to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.
In those days, having risen up, MARY
went with haste to the hill country, to a town in JUDAH,
As it pertains to you and everything about you,
I always thank my THEOS for the grace
of THEOS that was given to you in CHRIST JESUS,
One generation passes away, another generation comes, but the earth forever stands unchanged.
And ELOHIM saw that the light
was good.
From JOHN,
to the seven churches
in ASIA
May grace and peace be given to you from the one who is, and who was, and who is to come,
and also from the seven spirits
before the throne,
Draw me after you. We will run!
The king has brought me into his chambers.
We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine.
How the upright adore you!
and she entered the house of ZACHARIAH and greeted
ELIZABETH.
and it came to pass that, as ELIZABETH heard the greeting, the baby leaped in her womb and ELIZABETH was filled with the Holy Spirit,
and she exclaimed in a very loud voice, “Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
And how can this be true for me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For behold, as the sound of your greeting came into my ears, the baby in my womb leaped with exuberant joy.
And blessed is the one who has believed, for the things spoken to her by the LORD will be fulfilled”
Then MARY said, “My soul magnifies
the LORD,
and my spirit exults
in GOD
my Savior,
for He has looked upon the lowly condition
of his slave. Behold,
from now on all generations will indeed call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and His name is holy,
that in every ___ you have been enriched in Him, in every ___ __ speech and in all
knowledge, (See comment below.)
In the days of King HEROD
of JUDEA,
there was
a certain priest
named
ZACHARIAH,
of the
rotation of ABIJAH;
his wife was a daughter of AARON,
and her name was ELIZABETH.
and from JESUS
CHRIST,
the faithful witness,
the first born of the dead,
and the ruler over
the kings of
the earth. Glory
and power belong
for ever and ever to the one who loves us, and by means of His blood has released us from the bonds of our sins,
I am black
but lovely, O daughters of JERUSALEM, blackened like the tents of Kedar,
like Solomon’s
tent curtains.
The sun also rises and goes down, then it hurries back to the place where it rose.
And ELOHIM divided the interval between
light and between darkness.
And ELOHIM called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. (See comment below.)
and His mercy [is]
to generations of generations of those who seek Him.
He has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered
those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
He has brought the rulers down from their thrones, and exalted the humble.
The hungry He has filled with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty.
He has helped His servant ISRAEL, remembering mercy,
as He spoke
to our fathers, to ABRAHAM, and to his descendants
forever.”
MARY stayed with her for nearly three months, then returned to her home.
And when ELIZABETH’S time to give birth was fulfilled she bore a son.
Her neighbors and relatives heard that God had magnified his mercy
to her, and they rejoiced with her.
Now it came to pass that, on the eighth day, they went to circumcise the child, and some were calling the child by his father’s name, ZACHARIAH.
The sons of Elohim presented themselves before YHVH
Moreover, they were both righteous before THEOS,
walking blamelessly in all the commands and righteous acts which the LORD
approves.
as the testimony concerning CHRIST has been confirmed in you, (See comment below.)
Then ELOHIM said, “Come into being, oh beaten surface
between the waters, to divide the interval between the waters and the waters.
and has made us into a kingdom of priests to GOD, His Father, Amen.
Do not stare at me because I am black,
because the sun has looked at me.
My mother’s sons were angry at me and made me the keeper of the vineyards;
my own vineyard I have not kept.
The wind goes toward the South and turns to the North, it goes around and around again, always returning to a former course, according to its cycles.
And answering, his mother said, “No, His name will definitely be JOHN.”
They said to her, “No one among your relatives is called by that name.”
So they used signs to ask his father what he wished him to be called.
After asking for a writing tablet he wrote, saying, “His name is JOHN.” Everyone marveled at this.
And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue [also], and he spoke,
blessing GOD.
Then fear came upon all those living around them and these words
were discussed in all the hill country of JUDEA,
And all those who heard placed [the things they had heard]
in their hearts
saying, “What kind of child will this be?” For the hand of the LORD was with him.
Then his father ZACHARIAH was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied saying:
Blessed be the LORD the THEOS of ISRAEL because He has looked upon
and redeemed His people,
and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of DAVID His servant,
so that you are not lacking not even one gift, while you eagerly await the revealing
of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. (See comments below.)
In as much as ELIZABETH
was barren,
there was no child given to them, and now they were both advanced in years.
In as much as ELIZABETH was barren,
there was no child given to them, and now they were both advanced in years.
The fear of YHVH (read Adonai) is the foremost
part of discernment, but a fool has contempt for wisdom and correction.
All the rivers run into the sea, and yet the sea is not full; the rivers return again to the place they come from.
Thus ELOHIM made
the beaten surface, and He divided the interval between the water that was beneath the beaten surface and the water that was above the beaten surface.
Behold,
He is coming
with the clouds
and every eye will see Him
even those who pierced Him
will see Him,
all the tribes of the earth
will wail because
of Him.
Yes, Amen.
Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze
your flock
and where you rest
your sheep
at midday.
Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks
of your friends?
as He spoke by the mouth of the His holy prophets of old:
“salvation
from our enemies and from the hand of all those who hate us,
to enact mercy toward our fathers and to remember His holy covenant,
the oath that He swore to ABRAHAM
our father, to grant us
to serve Him without fear, having been saved from the hand of our enemies,
in holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.
And now you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord, to prepare ways for Him,
in order to give His people the knowledge of salvation
in forgiveness of their sins,
on account of the mercy that comes from deep inside the heart
of our God, by which the dawn
will look upon us
from on high,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death,
and to direct our feet into the way of peace.
Now it came about in the process of fulfilling his duty of priestly service to GOD, in the order of his division,
THE LORD
GOD
says,
“I am the ALPHA AND
OMEGA,
the beginning and the end.
I am the one who was,
and is,
and is to come.
I am the ALMIGHTY.”
If you do not know,
most beautiful of women,
go out along the trails
of the flock
and graze
your young female goats
by the tents of the shepherds.
All things are wearisome because they are full of labor;
man cannot speak it.
The eye is never satisfied with seeing nor the
ear full of hearing.
And ELOHIM called the beaten surface “the heavens.” And there was evening, and there was morning, the second day. (See comments below.)
And ELOHIM said, “I command the waters to be gathered together into one place under the heavens, and let dry land appear,” and it was so. (See comment below.)
I, JOHN,
your brother, and a
participant with you in affliction, in GOD’S sovereign rule, and in endurance, all of which we experience in JESUS, was
on the island of Patmos
because of the word of GOD
and my
testimony of JESUS.
I have compared you, my Love, to a mare
among Pharaoh’s chariots.
What exists now will exist later, what is
done now
will be done later;
there is nothing truly new under the sun.
according to the custom of the priesthood, that it fell to him by lot to burn incense after having entered the temple of the LORD,
For the law, having a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the form of those things themselves, is never able to complete [the work] in those who draw near by means of the same sacrifices which they are continuously and perpetually offering each year.
Then I saw another mighty angel
coming down from heaven,
he was wrapped in a cloud,
over his head
was a rainbow,
his face
was
like the sun,
and his feet
were pillars of fire.
Dead flies cause a perfumer’s oil to pour out a terrible smell; likewise a little folly to one who is respected and honored for wisdom.
If the iron is dull and he does not sharpen
the edge,
he must be stronger to prevail,
but wisdom brings the advantage of success.
I took the little scroll out of the hand of the angel
and ate it;
my mouth it was as sweet as honey,
but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.
and in the day of your joy, and in your appointed times,
and at the head of your moons, you shall blow the trumpets over your “going up” sacrifices, and your peace offerings; and they shall be for you a remembrance before your ELOHIM.
I am YHVH your ELOHIM.
and he beholds heaven
opening and a certain container
descending like a great sheet
being lowered upon the earth by four corners.
Whatever city or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and remain there until you leave.
Then he said to me, “It is proper and necessary for you to prophesy again concerning many peoples, nations, language, and kings.”
If the snake bites when it is not whispered to (charmed),
there is no profit for the owner of the tongue
i.e. the one doing the whispering.
The words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, but the lips of a fool swallow him up.
Upon entering the house, greet it.
in which were all the four-footed beasts
of the earth and those that crawl along the ground,
and birds
of the air.
And a voice came to him, “After you have risen, PETER, kill and eat.”
And if that house is indeed deserving, let your peace come upon it; however, if it is not deserving, let your peace return to you.
The words of his mouth begin with folly and the end of his mouth is grievous
madness.
And a fool multiplies words!
No man knows what will come to pass, and who can tell him what will happen after him?
And whoever will not welcome you warmly, nor hear your words, upon exiting forth from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet!
And PETER said, “No, never, LORD, for never have I eaten anything common and
unclean.” (See comments below.)
And a voice again for second time to him, “What GOD has cleansed
you not make common.” (See comment below.)
I tell you [an important] truth; it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that city.
The labor of the extremely foolish
wearies
him, for he doesn’t even know how to go to the city.
Woe to you, Oh land, when your king is childish,
and your chieftains feast in the morning.
And this took place for three times
and directly
the vessel was take up into heaven. (See comment below.)
Look! I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, you must be as prudent
as snakes
and as pure and sincere
as doves.
You are blessed, Oh land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your chieftains eat at the proper time for strength, not for drunkenness.
Through slothfulness the beams sink low; and through idleness of hands the house leaks.
For a feast is made for laughter, and wine makes people happy,
but money answers every [need].
The heart of a wise man is at his right side, but the heart of a fool is at his left.
He had a small scroll that was open,
in his hand.
He placed his right foot on the sea,
and his left upon the earth.
Otherwise, would they not have ceased being offered? For the worshippers, having been cleansed once, none would have any further conscience of sins.
Even in your thoughts, do not curse the king and even in your bed-chamber do not curse the rich, for a bird of the air may carry away your voice, and a possessor of wings
may make the matter known.
Therefore, the Jews surrounded Him and they were saying to Him, “until when are you holding our souls in suspense? If you are the CHRIST, tell us freely.”
JESUS answered them, “I told you and you did not believe. The works I do in the name of my Father, these bear witness concerning me.”
“But you do not believe because you are not from the sheep of me.”
“The sheep of me hear the voice of me and I know them, and they follow me,”
“And I give them age-like life, and to the age, no not shall they be destroyed, and never will anyone snatch them out of the hand of me.”
“And I give them age-like life, and to the age, no not shall they be destroyed, and never will anyone snatch them out of the hand of me.”
If someone has violated
the Law of Moses, he dies without mercies on the bases of two or three witnesses.
How much worse do you think he will deserve punishment who has trampled on the SON OF GOD, and has esteemed the blood of the covenant which sanctified him as something unholy,
and has treated contemptuously the Spirit of grace?
“The Father of me who has given [them] to me is greater than all, and none is able to snatch [them] out of the hand of the Father.
But in these there is a memory of sin every year.
And even when a fool lives
according to the way of life [he has chosen],
a moral consciousness is lacking,
and he tells everyone that he is a fool.
He projected his voice loudly,
like a lion’s roar, and when he spoke the seven thunders found their own voices and spoke up.
“I and the Father are one.”
Then Cornelius brought it to light,
“four days ago, I was continually praying in my house until this hour, the ninth hour, and behold, a man stood before me in bright
clothes,
He brought to light,
“Cornelius, your prayer
has been heard, and your compassionate giving to the poor
has been remembered before God.
Therefore, the Jews took up stones so that they might stone Him.
JESUS answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father, on account of which of these do you stone me?”
The Jews answered Him, “Not for a good work do we stone you, but on account of blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself the Mighty One.”
JESUS answered them, “Is it not written in the law
of you, ‘I said, You are mighty ones”?
if He called [the ones] to whom the word
of the Mighty One became
______ ‘mighty ones’, and the writings are not able to be loosened and removed,
are you saying of the one whom the Father set apart as holy and sent into the world, ‘you blaspheme’ because I said ‘I am the son of the Mighty One’?
If I am not doing the works of the Father of me, do not believe me,
But if I am doing [them], even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and know
that the Father [is] in me and I in the Father.
Again they were seeking to squeeze Him, but He escaped from the hand of them.
For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to remove sins.
When the seven thunders had spoken I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up the things
the seven thunders have
spoken and do not write them.”
If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, do not abandon
your post,
for a passive composure
calms
the punishment of many sins.
While PETER was still speaking these words,
the Holy Spirit fell upon
all of those hearing the spoken manifestation of truth.
Then as many of the persuaded ones
from the circumcision who had come with Peter were thrown out of position
that the free gift of the Holy Spirit had even been poured forth upon the Gentiles,
for they were hearing them speaking in [_________] tongues
and making THEOS great. Then PETER gave his conclusion,
“Perchance is anyone able to refuse water to baptize these who have received the Holy Spirit just as we also have?”
Therefore, upon coming into the world, He says,
“A blood sacrifice and a gift offering you have not desired, but you have prepared a body for me.
There is an evil I have seen under the sun, one that proceeds from a ruler:
Then the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the earth

“In the days when the seventh angel is about to make his voice heard,
when he sounds his trumpet,

And Cush begat Nimrod; he began
to be a mighty one
on the earth.

before the face of YHVH (read Adonai). Thus, on account of this it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter in the face of YHVH (read Adonai).”
He who pulls stones out of a quarry may be hurt by them; and he who splits wood may be cut
by it.
So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the small scroll.
He said, “Take
and eat it.
It will be bitter in your stomach,
but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”

because these two prophets have tormented those
dwelling upon the earth.”

entered them and they stood
upon their feet
and great fear fell upon those who saw them.
However, in the LORD, neither [is] a woman detached from a man, nor is a man detached from a woman.
Therefore, YHVH (read Adonai) says this: Look! I will surely bring on them calamity which they will not have the power to escape; though they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.
Which of you is the [kind of] father [who], the son will ask for a fish, and instead of a fish he will give him a snake?

For just as the woman [came] from the man, so also the man [came] by means of the woman, however, all things [came] from the LORD
Then they heard a great voice out of heaven saying to them, “Come up here,” and they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their
enemies saw them.
In that very hour there was a great earthquake,
and one tenth
of the city
collapsed and 7,000 men were killed
in the earthquake,

The second woe has passed, behold the third woe is coming soon.
Then the seventh
angel sounded his trumpet, and there was heard in heaven a great number of voices saying, “The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our LORD and of His CHRIST,

For long hair was given to her as a substitute for a veil.
And if anyone is of the opinion

Also the twenty-four elders who were
sitting on their thrones before GOD
fell on their faces
and worshipped
GOD
saying, “We give you thanks, LORD
GOD
Almighty,
the one who was,
and is, for you have taken your power
and begun to reign.
But the nations were enraged, morover your wrath came and also the time for the dead to be judged, a time to give the reward to your servants, the prophets, and to the saints, and to those who fear your name, whether small or great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
Then the temple of GOD
in heaven
was opened
and His ark of the covenant

It came about that, as they journeyed

All of the swarming,
flying
[creatures] that walk
on four
[shall be] detestable
to you,
yet this
you may eat of all
the swarming, flying [creatures] that walk on four,
those which to it ______
two lower legs
_____ from above to the feet, with which to leap
on the earth.
These you may eat, the rapidly increasing swarm of locust
[in agreement] to its kind,
the destroying locust that crushes like a rock
[in agreement] to its kind, the one that leaps in fear
[in agreement] to its kind, and the grasshopper
[in agreement] with its kind.
But of all the swarming [creatures] that fly, which to them ____ four feet, the same shall be detestable to you.

I am gentle and humble in heart.
And this one
shall be unclean to you in the entire class
of swarming things that swarm
on the earth – the animal that glides swiftly along,

Then I will give to my two
witnesses whatever they need
and they will prophecy
1260 days

All these, having received an honorable testimony through faith, did not receive the promise,
Every man who is praying or prophesying while having head covered,
causes disgrace to his head.
Then a man said to his fellow man “Come, let us make a city for ourselves and a tower and the head of it is in the heavens.
And let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the face of the earth.”
These are the two olive trees
and the two lampstands
standing before
THE LORD OF THE EARTH.
He who keeps watch on the wind will not sow,
and he who considers the clouds will not reap.
since God had planned something better for us, so that apart from us, they could not be made complete.
For all the swarming things that swarm on the earth, everything that moves along
on its belly and everything that goes on four [legs] or everything that has many feet, you shall not eat for they are unclean.
But every woman who is praying or prophesying with her head not veiled, causes disgrace to her head, for it is one and the same with having had [her head] shaven.
But then YHVH (read Adonai) descended to inspect
the fortified place of terror,
and the tower which the sons of the adam

their mouths
and devours their enemies;

their prophecy, and they have the power over the waters to turn them to blood, and [the power] to strike the earth with every kind of plague
as often as they wish.
Sow your seed
in the morning and in the evening do not let your hand rest, for you do not know which one will prosper, whether this one or the other one, or if the two of them do equally well.
And YHVH (read Adonai) said, “Look,
the people are one and they all have one lip, and they have begun to do this, now then, nothing of all they devise to do will be inaccessible
to them.
Dangerous Yellow canid

Dominator,

Around,
Flapper
and Covered,

For if a woman is not veiled, she also should have her hair cut off, and if it is a disgrace to the woman to have her hair cut short or shaved off, she should wear a veil.
Indeed, a man is morally obliged not to cover the head, being a replica
and a manifestation of the splendor
of THEOS; the woman, however, enhances the honor of a man.
Come, let us go down there and mix
languages, that one man may not understand
lip of another.”

When they have completed their testimony, the BEAST, coming up out of the abyss,
will make war with them,
overpower them
and kill them.
Their bodies will be upon the street
of the great city,
which spiritually is called
SODOM
and EGYPT,
also where their LORD
was crucified,
but if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in all of them, and yet let him remember that there will be many days of darkness.
Everything that is to come is like a vapor.
The child that is still nursing
will amuse himself
over the hole of the venomous snake,

And yet they did not obey, neither did they turn their ear but each one followed the stubbornness of his evil heart, therefore I will bring upon them all the words
of this covenant which I commanded them to do but which they have not.
For man is not out of woman, but woman [is] out of man.
So YHVH (read Adonai) scattered them from there over the face of all the earth and they ceased building the fortified place of terror.
Therefore, accordingly, its name is called BABEL, for there YHVH (read Adonai) confounded the language of all the earth and from there YHVH (read Adonai) scattered [them] over the face of the earth.

will gaze
upon them for three and a half days and their bodies will not be allowed to be placed in a tomb.
A great sign
was seen in heaven—a
woman clothed
with the sun,
with the moon
under her feet,
and on her head a crown
of twelve stars.
And at that time MICHAEL, the great leader who stands over the sons of your people, shall stand,
and there shall be a time of trouble such as there never was since the nation came into being until that time, and at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.
Remember your creator in the days of your youth, in the time before the miserable

And everyone who will speak a word against the SON OF MAN, it will be forgiven him; but the one who has blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
The Convener and Speaker of the assembly sought to find the desired words and what was written were upright and faithful words.
Then I heard a great voice in heaven saying,
“Now have come
the salvation
and power
and kingdom
of our GOD and
the authority of His CHRIST
because He has thrown
down the accuser of our brothers, the one who constantly accuses them day and night, before the throne
of our GOD.
Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked will act wickedly and none will understand, but all of the wise will understand.

and the collection of sayings is like a well-placed peg to hang things on, set in place by one
shepherd.
And they
have
overcome him by the blood of the LAMB
and by the word of their testimony. They did not love their lives unto death.
Now the one and the same Spirit energetically works all these things, dividing and distributing to each his own
as He wills.
There will be a place where YHVH your ELOHIM (read Adonai your Elohim) chooses for His name to dwell, and there you must bring everything I commanded you – your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, and the offerings of your hands, and all the offerings of your choice which you vow to YHVH (read Adonai).
For this reason rejoice, oh heavens, and those dwelling in them. Woe to the earth and the sea,
for the DEVIL has
come down to you, with great fury, knowing that his time is short.”
The one who waits and reaches the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days [will be] blessed.
My son, be warned of [things] beyond these.
Of the making of books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the body.
Now that everything has been heard, here is the concluding word:
Fear ELOHIM and His commandments, for this is all for man to keep.
When the DRAGON saw that he had been thrown down
to the earth he pursued
the woman who had given birth to the male child.
But you, proceed until the end, for you will rest and stand
for your inheritance at the final days.
You must take heed that you do not offer your burnt offerings in any place that you see,
but in the place which YHVH (read Adonai) chooses in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings and there you shall do everything that I command you to do.

Then the woman was given the two
wings of a great eagle so she might fly into the wilderness, unto her place, where she is continually nourished for a time, and times and half a time,
away from the face of the SERPENT.
Then, out of his mouth,
the SERPENT
spewed water like a river,
so that she would be carried away by the torrent it would make.
Then the earth
helped the woman;
the earth
opened its mouth and
swallowed up
the river
which the DRAGON had spewed out of his mouth.
And the DRAGON was angry with the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of the offspring of the woman,
those who keep
the commands of GOD and hold to
the testimony of JESUS.
And he (the DRAGON) stood on the sand of the sea.
For you have not come near to [a mountain]

But much rather, those members of the body which seem to be without strength, are necessary;

Then someone was brought to Him who was demon possessed, blind and mute, and He healed him
in order for the mute one to speak and see.

and those parts of the body we suppose to be without honor, these we bestow all-around
honor, and the shapeless part of us have all-around elegance of figure;

so that there should not be any schism
in the body, but the members should have the same concern for one another.
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

Now if I cast out demons by Beelzeboul, by whom do your sons cast them out? In this way they will be your judges.

these in the assembly,
first Apostles
second prophets
third teachers
then demonstrations of power, then gifts that result in healings, the taking hold of in order to help someone,

However, if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Or how is it possible for someone to enter into the house
of a strong man and take away the vessels containing his goods if he does not first tie up the strong man? Then he can rob his house.

all [are] prophets? Not all [are] teachers? Not all [have] powers?
Therefore, I make known to you that no one who is speaking in the Spirit of THEOS says “JESUS is laid up [for destruction],

The one who is not with me is against me, and the one who is not gathering with me is scattering.
Not all have gracious gifts of healing? Not all speak in tongues? Not all Interpret?
Boil with zeal,
however, [for] the mega
gifts of grace. And now I show you a far superior
road.
On account of this I say to you that men will be forgiven
of every sin, even blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
And if anyone were to speak a word against the SON OF MAN, it will be forgiven him; but whoever were to speak
against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven to him, neither in this age nor in the coming [one].
Either make a tree good and its fruit [will be] good or make a tree bad and it fruit [will be] bad; by the fruit, the tree is known.

The DRAGON stands before the woman who is about to give birth so that when she does give birth to her child
he can destroy it.
Then she gave birth to a boy, a son who is certain to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God
and to His throne.

the grasshopper is a burden,
and desire fails; when the man goes to his eternal home and mourners go about in the streets,
Then I, DANIEL, looked and [I saw] two others standing there, one on this bank of the river [nearest to me], and one on that bank of the river [furthest from me].

One said to the man clothed in linen

“Until when shall be the finality of these extraordinary things?”
The woman fled
into the desert
where she has a place
that was prepared for her by GOD,
so that they might nourish her
there
for 1260 days.
Then there was war in heaven; MICHAEL fought with his angels against
the DRAGON, and the DRAGON fought back, with his angels.
and the dust returns to the ground as it was, and the spirit returns to ELOHIM who gave it.
Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river as he raised up his right hand and his left hand
to the heavens and swore by the one who lives continuously without end that it would for a time, times, and half a time,
and when the scattering
of the strength
of the people of holiness is exhausted,
all these things will be accomplished.
But to each is given the manifestation
of the Spirit for the advancement. (See comment below.)
For it is true that on the one hand, to one is given, through Spirit, a revelation of wisdom,
but to another

Now I say to you, everyone who is inclined to speak in open agreement with me
before men, THE SON OF MAN will also speak favorably of him before the angels of God;

The most vapor-like of all vapors! Says the Convener and Speaker of the assembly, Everything is like a vapor.

The great DRAGON,
that ANCIENT SERPENT,
who is called
THE DEVIL
and SATAN, the one who is continually deceiving all the inhabitants of the earth, was thrown to the earth and the angels were also thrown out with him.
But the one who has spoken against
me before men, will be spoken against before the angels of God.

Every living being

And he (the DRAGON) stood on the sand of the sea.
Then I saw a beast
rising out of the sea;
it had ten horns
and seven heads.
On its horns
it had ten royal crowns,
and on its heads blasphemous names.
If anyone [is to go] into captivity,
into captivity he goes,
if anyone is to be killed by the sword, he must be killed by the sword.
Herein is
the endurance and
faith of the saints.
We have an altar, from which those serving in the tabernacle do not have authority to eat.
However, whenever completeness has fully come, that which is out of a portion of the whole will be brought down to a motionless condition.
it is a languishing scourge
on the skin of his body and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not shut him up for he is unclean.
When I was a child, I always spoke
as a child, I always used my diaphragm to regulate my opinions about things
the way a child does, I always came to a conclusion about things
as a child does; when I became a man and reaped the consequences of becoming one,
I brought the childish things to a motionless state.
The bodies of those animals, whose blood the High Priest brings into the holy places for sin, are burned outside the camp.
Finally, be cheerful and well. Be perfectly joined together. Be close.
Have the same mindset.
Be at peace.
And the God of love and peace will be with you.
I saw another beast
rising from the earth;
it had two horns
like a LAMB but
it spoke
like a dragon.
It exercises all the authority of the first BEAST
in its presence,
and causes the earth
and those dwelling in it
to worship the first BEAST
whose fatal
wound had been healed.
If the scourge sprouts in order to be a spreading sprout
on the skin and [if] the scourge covers all the skin, the mark being from his head to his foot, every place the priest sees,
Therefore also Jesus, so that He would be able to sanctify the people by His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
For at this time we see [things] in a riddle
by
looking into a mirror of polished metal, but then face to face. At this time I know [only] a portion of the whole, but then I will know fully, as also I have been fully known.
But now, there remains these three things – faith,
hope,
and sacrificial love.
However, the greatest of these [is] sacrificial love.
Therefore let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
and the priest should inspect and if the scourge has covered all the flesh, [he shall pronounce him] clean; [if] all the sore has turned white, he is clean.
And it performs great signs; it even causes fire to come down from heaven to earth
in the presence of men,
and it deceives those dwelling on the earth through the signs given for it to perform before THE BEAST,
telling those dwelling
on the earth to make
an image of THE BEAST
who had the wound
from the sword and yet lived.
And it was granted the ability to give breath to the image of THE BEAST so that the
image of THE BEAST
could speak and cause all those who do not worship
the image of THE BEAST to
be killed.
Then it (the second beast) caused it to come about
that everyone, the small and the great, rich and poor, free and slaves, should give them
a mark
on the right hand
and the forehead,
so that no one
would be able to buy or sell if he were not one of those having the mark
which is the name
of THE BEAST
or the number of his name.
Herein is wisdom: Let the one who has understanding compute the number
of THE BEAST;
indeed it is man’s number;
its number is six hundred sixty six.
THE BEAST
I saw was like a leopard,
but his feet were like that of a bear,
while his mouth was like that of a lion.
THE DRAGON gave it his power, his throne
and great authority.
As I warned [all of you] being present [with you] the second time, now also being absent I warn those who have sinned and all the rest, that if I come to the [same] again, I will not spare [them].
Therefore the one who rejects the entire system of authority
resists
that which God has set in place. And those who have resisted, will bring judgment on themselves.
and if I have prophecy and understand
all mysteries and all experiential knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains but do not have sacrificial love, I am nothing.
and if I give away all my possessions and even deliver my body [to] _____ so that I may boast,
but do not have sacrificial love, I have gained nothing.
And one of the
heads of
THE BEAST appeared to have been mortally wounded to death,
but the deadly wound was healed,
and the whole world followed
THE BEAST in amazement,
And there we saw the Nephilim
(the sons of Anak were from the Nephilim), and we were in our own sight like grasshoppers, so we were in their sight.
Sacrificial love perseveres,
it is kind, sacrificial love does not boil with envy,
sacrificial love does not brag about self, it is not inflated.
and they worshipped THE DRAGON who had given his authority to THE BEAST; and they worshipped THE BEAST saying, “Who is like THE BEAST and who can
make war against it.”
Now the one who has been struck with a skin disorder
and in whom the recognizable mark of the plague exists, his clothes shall be torn, his head shall be loosened of its restraints, and he shall cover his mustache. He must cry “Unclean!” “Unclean!”
All the days he has the mark of being stricken he shall be regarded as unclean for he is unclean; he shall dwell alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp.
If there is a garment that has been struck [by God] with a visible abnormality,
struck [by God] with a plague-spot, whether a garment of wool or a garment of linen,
and if the plague spot is pale green
or reddish
… it shall be shown to the priest.
It does not lack proper form,
it does not seek the [things] of itself, it is not jabbed by something sharp,
it does not keep account of wrongs;
THE BEAST was given a mouth to speak great things
and blasphemes; and it was also given authority to act for
42 months,
Then he shall examine the mark of the plague on the seventh day. If the mark of the plague has spread in the garment … it has been struck with a visible abnormality and struck with the mark of a plague that is embittered and causes pain.
Therefore, he shall burn the garment … in which is found the mark of the plague, for it has been struck with an embittered visible abnormality. He shall burn it in the fire.
It does not rejoice
at unrighteousness,
but rather rejoices together with
so it opened its mouth in order to speak blasphemies against GOD,
against His name
and His tabernacle, that is, those who tabernacle in heaven.
And it was granted to him to make war against the saints, even to prevail against them.
And he was
given the opportunity to influence every tribe, people, language and nation.
It tightly covers
each and every thing,
it believes each and every thing, it expectantly trusts
each and every thing, it remains under
each and every thing.
Sacrificial love will never, ever fall down or be cast down;
however, if prophecies, they will be brought down to motionless condition;
if tongues, they will cease;
if personal, experiential knowledge, it will be brought down to a motionless condition.
All the inhabitants of the earth will worship THE BEAST—all those whose names have not been written in the book of life
belonging to THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN
from the founding of the world.
If anyone has an ear let him hear.
For we know out of
a portion of the whole,
and we prophecy out of a portion of the whole,
My soul for Adonai,
More than those who watch for the morning,
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
Search me, Oh EL, and know my heart, try me so you know my disquieting thoughts,
and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.
Aggressively chase after
sacrificial love; also, boil with zeal
for the spiritual
but especially that you may prophesy.
Then I looked
and behold,
the LAMB was
standing
upon Mt ZION,
and with Him were
144,000
who have His name and
the name of His Father written on their foreheads.
he will likewise
drink of the wine
of the wrath of GOD,
which has been mixed, undiluted, in the cup of His wrath,
and he will be tormented
in fire and brimstone
before the holy angels
and before the LAMB.
It happens that there are many kinds of languages in the world, and none are without meaning.
Therefore, if I do not see the power and ability
of the sound _______,
I will be a barbarian
to the one speaking, and the one speaking will be a barbarian to me.
And the smoke
of their torment goes up
forever and forever; in fact, those worshipping THE BEAST and his image,
and anyone who receives
the mark of its name,
has no refreshment or inner tranquility, day or night.
Herein the patient endurance of the saints, i.e. those who obey
GOD’S commands
and keep their faith in JESUS, [is demonstrated and rewarded].”
Thus, since you boil with zeal for spiritual _______, you must also zealously desire that they abound for the edification of the called-out-ones.
Therefore, the one who speaks in a tongue
let him pray that he may interpret. (See comment below.)
Then I heard a voice out of heaven saying, “Write: Blessed are those who die in the LORD,
especially those who die in Him from now on.”
The SPIRIT says, “Yes, for they will rest from their labors and their works follow them.”
I looked and behold, a white cloud, and
upon the cloud there was one sitting who had the appearance of the SON OF MAN; a crown
of gold
was on his head,
and he had a sharp sickle
in His hand.
For if I happen to pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
What is it then?
I will pray in the spirit; I will also pray with my mind. I will make music
with the spirit; however, I will also make music with my mind.
Then another angel came
out of the temple
shouting in a loud voice
to the one
sitting on the cloud, “Put forth your sickle and reap,
for the hour to reap has come,
because the harvest of the earth has ripened.”
Then the one sitting on the cloud
put forth his sickle
upon the earth
and the earth was harvested.
Otherwise,
if you speak well
of (something or someone) in spirit, how will the one filling the place of one’s own self
say Amen to your giving of thanks,
since he does not know what you are saying?
For indeed, you are giving thanks commendably, but the other one is not built up.
Another angel
came out of
the temple in heaven,
and he also had a sharp sickle,
Another angel
came out of
the temple in heaven,
and he also had a sharp sickle,
Yet another angel approached, this one came from
the altar, with authority over
the fire, and he called out with a loud voice to the one with the sharp sickle saying, “Dispatch
your sharp sickle
and gather
the clusters from the vine that covers
the earth,
because its grapes
have ripened.”
I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you do.
But in the gathering of the called-out-ones
I desire to speak five words with my mind so as to make sound go down into the ears
of others, rather than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
So the angel thrust his sickle
into the earth and
gathered
the vine of the earth, and
cast it into the
great winepress of the wrath of GOD.
Then I heard a voice from heaven
like the sound of many waters,
and like the sound of loud thunder,
and the voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing their harps,
For the one speaking in an [unknown] tongue
is not speaking to men but to THEOS,
for no one understands [him],
rather he speaks mysteries in the Spirit.
Brothers, do not be children
in [your] diaphrams.
Instead, in evil be infants,
but in the diaphragm, come into being.
The earth’s grapes were trampled in the winepress
outside the city,
and from the winepress
blood flowed
as high as the bridles of horses and as far as 1,600
full foot-races.
In the Law it is written:
By other tongues and by other lips I will speak to this people, and not [even] in this manner will they hear me into [themselves].
So then, tongues are a miraculous sign,
not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophecy is not for the unbelieving but to those who believe.
Therefore, if the whole assembly comes together in the place, and if it were to happen that everyone speaks in [unknown] tongues, and on top of this some who are their own person
or faithless
ones come in, will they not say you are raving mad?
However, if everyone were to be prophesying and some faithless person or one who is his own person comes in, he is convicted
by all; he is investigated
by all,
the secrets of his heart will be made clear and thus, after falling on his face, he will kiss toward God,
declaring that “Surely, God is in you!”
Then what is it,
brothers? Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. All [of it] must be done to build up!
If anyone speaks in an [unknown] tongue, [keep it] down to two, or at the most three, and up by portion;
and one must interpret.
However, in the assembly of the called-out ones, if there is no interpreter, he
must keep silent; and he must speak to himself and to God.
Now prophets – two or three should speak, and the others should distinguish between.
However, the one who prophecies speaks to men [for] building [them] up,
and [for] coming along side
[them] and [for] comfort [to them.
And they are singing
a new song before the throne
and before
the four living beings
and
the elders.
But no one was able to learn the song
except the 144,000 who have been redeemed from the earth.
However, if another is given a revelation while sitting down, the first should keep silent.
For you are all able to prophesy
by one, so that all may learn and all may be called near.
Moreover, [the] spirits of [the] prophets is obedient
to [the]
prophets.
for He is not the God of disorder
but of wholeness.
As in all the assemblies
of the saints,
let the women be silent
in the assembly. For it is not permissible for them to speak, but to be subordinate,
as even the Law says.
But if they want to learn
anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the assembly.
Or from you has the word of THEOS gone out? Or to you only has it come down?
If anyone is of the opinion that he is a prophet, or is spiritual, let him fully recognize that the things I am writing to you are the commands of THE LORD.
However, if anyone chooses to ignore [these matters], let him be ignored.
So then my brothers, boil with zeal to prophesy, and do not cut off the speaking in [unknown] tongues.
The one who speaks in an [unknown] tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the called-out-ones.
These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they are pure. These are the ones who follow THE LAMB wherever He goes. These have been redeemed from among men; they are firstfruits to God and to the LAMB;
However, everything must be done with good form
and according to an orderly arrangement by rank.
He shall tear down the house, its stones and its timbers and the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them outside the city to an unclean place.
Moreover, I desire that all of you speak in [unknown] tongues,
but rather [I desire]
that you should prophecy; and greater is the one who prophesies
than the one who speaks in [unknown] tongues, unless he were to interpret, so that the church might fully receive
edification. (See Comments below.)
Indeed one judges
a day above a day; however, one
judges every day.
Each should be completely assured in his own mind.
in their mouths
no lie is found;
they are blameless before the throne of GOD.
Then I saw another angel flying in mid heaven,
Who had the everlasting glad tidings to share with
those dwelling on the earth
and in every ethnicity
and tribe and language and people,
The one who observes the day, observes it to the Lord…
But now brothers, if I should come to you speaking in [strange] tongues, what will be the benefit to you, if I should not speak to you in a revelation,
or in knowledge,
or in a prophecy,
or in a teaching?
Even the lifeless things giving a sound, whether a flute or a harp, if a distinction to the sounds is not given, how will what is being piped or being harped be known?
For not one of us lives to himself, and not one of us dies to himself.
and saying with a loud voice, “Fear GOD
and give Him glory,
for the hour of His judgment has come; worship the one who made the heavens
and the earth
and the sea
and the springs of water.”
Then another angel, a second one, followed saying, “It has fallen!
BABYLON the great,
has fallen!
for it has given to drink
of the wine of the passion of her immorality to all the Gentiles.”
If we should live, we live to the Lord; if we should die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, if we live or if we die, we are the Lord’s.
For also, if a trumpet gives an unclear
sound, who will prepare himself for battle?
In this way you also, if through the tongue you do not give well-marked
speech, how will it be known what [is] being spoken? For you will be speaking into air.
Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud
voice, “If anyone worships THE BEAST and its image
and receives
a mark
on his forehead or
on his hand
May my prayer be set before You
as incense, the lifting up of my hands
as the evening offering.
Then I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven, seven angels
holding seven plagues;
these are the last
plagues, because with them the wrath
of GOD is satisfied.
So he brought all these to him and cut them in two in the middle and placed each piece opposite the other, but the birds he did not cut in two.
The screamers
came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove
them away.
And it happened that, at the going
of the sun, then a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and behold, terror and great darkness fell upon him.
Now it came to pass that, when the sun went,
and it was dark, behold a smoking kiln
and a flaming torch that passed between the parts.
On that day
YHVH (read Adonai)
cut
a covenant with ABRAM
saying,
“To your seed I have given this land, from the river of EGYPT
to the great river, the river EUPHRATES.”
Then I saw something like a sea,
glassy in nature,
and mixed with fire;
those who come out victorious
from their encounters with the BEAST and with his image, and with the number
of his name, were
standing upon
the glass-like sea,
holding harps
they received from GOD.
Does YHVH (read Adonai) have as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in hearing the voice of YHVH? Look! To obey is better than a sacrifice, and hearing than the fat of rams.
They are singing the song of Moses the servant of GOD,
and the song of the LAMB,
which says, “Great
and wonderful are your works, O LORD,
GOD ALMIGHTY,
Your ways are righteous and true, O King of the nations.
But the soul which acts with a raised fist,
whether a native born or a foreigner, that one has shown contempt
for YHVH
(read Adonai); that one must be cut off from among his people.
Because he has despised
the word of YHVH (read Adonai) and has broken His commandment, he shall be cut off, yes that person shall be cut off;
his guilt will be upon him.
Who will not fear you Oh LORD, and give glory to your name,
for you alone are holy?
For all the nations will come and prostrate themselves before you, because your righteous acts have been revealed.”
I kept on watching and I saw that in heaven,
the inner sanctuary of the
tabernacle of the testimony
was open.
Out of the temple came seven angels
having the seven plagues,
having been clothed in pure, shining linen,
and having been girded about the chest with belts
of gold.
Then one of the four living beings
gave to the seven angels
seven
bowls
made of gold
and full
of the wrath
of GOD, who lives forever and forever.
The temple
was filled with
smoke from
GOD’S glory
and from His power, and
no one was able to enter the temple until the
seven plagues of
the seven angels were completed.
And he said, “ADONAI YHVH (read Adonai Adonai), by what means will I know that I will inherit it?”
So He said to him, “Bring me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.”
Then I heard a loud voice from the temple
saying to
the seven angels,
“Go, and take the seven bowls of GOD’S wrath
and pour them out
upon the earth.”
Then the fifth one poured out his bowl
upon
the throne of the BEAST
and its kingdom became dark,
and men were gnawing their tongues in distress,
and they cursed the GOD
of heaven
on account of their distress and on account of their sores, yet they did not repent of their works.
Then the sixth one poured out his bowl
upon
the great river EUPHRATES;
then the water of it was dried up,
that it might prepare the way for the kings
of the rising of the sun.
And I saw coming from the mouth of the DRAGON, and from the mouth of the BEAST,
and from the mouth of
the FALSE PROPHET,
three unclean spirits,
like frogs.
They are indeed demonic spirits performing signs intended to go forth to the kings of the entire inhabited world, in order to gather them together for the battle of the great day of GOD ALMIGHTY.
Then he (AARON) shall take the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the face of that which covers,
and he shall sprinkle the blood seven times with his finger before the thing that covers.
{“Behold, I
am coming like a thief; blessed is he who is constantly watching and keeping his garments [in proper condition] so that he will not walk about naked, for people would see his shame.”}
Then he
gathered them at the place called in Hebrew ARMAGEDDON.
Embrace
one another with a kiss
that is holy. All the call-out ones who belong to Christ greet you.
The seventh one
poured his bowl
into the air
and then from the temple,
and from the throne,
came a loud voice
saying, “It is done.”
Then there were flashes of lightning,
accompanied by [scary] sounds,
and thunder, and there was a great earthquake
such as there has not been since men appeared on the earth, so great and mighty was it;
And first I will completely reward
double
for their guilt deserving punishment
and their sin of missing the mark which must be punished or atoned for
because they have polluted my land with their filthy, detested
corpses
and filled my inheritance with abominations.
Jesus knew that they were desiring to question
Him, and He said to them, “Do you seek
among one another concerning this, that I said, ‘A little and you do not see me, and again a little, and you will see me’?”
and the great city
was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations
fell,
and BABYLON The Great
was remembered
before GOD,
to give her
the cup of the wine
of the fury of His wrath;
So the first one departed and poured out his bowl
on the earth,
and an evil and grievous type of sore appeared on men, specifically on those who had the mark
of the BEAST and those who worshipped his image.
every island fled and the
mountains were no longer found;
great hail, comes down
out of heaven upon men, weighing over 100 pounds each,
and men cursed GOD
on account of the plague of hail,
for the hail was
exceedingly severe.
And also therefore pertaining to you, indeed now you have grief, however, I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
And in that day, you will not interrogate me
about anything. I say to you with utmost certainty, whatever you pray
to the Father in my name,
He will give you.
Until now you have not asked in prayer for anything in my name. Ask in prayer and you will receive,
so that your joy may be made full.
For the SON OF MAN is about to come in the glory of His Father, along with His angels, and then he will give to each one according to his deeds.
Amen, I say to you that there are some of the ones standing here
who definitely will not taste death
until they see the SON OF MAN coming in His kingdom.
Then the second one poured out his bowl
into the sea
and it became blood,
like that of a dead man,
and everything that had the breath of life
and was in the sea died.
Then the third one poured his bowl
into the rivers and springs of the waters
and they became blood.
And I heard the angel of the waters
saying, “You who are, and
have always been, the HOLY ONE, you are just
because you have judged these,
And from the assembly of the sons of ISRAEL he shall take two kid goats as a sin offering, and one ram as a bunt offering.
And Aaron
shall offer the bull of the sin offering which is for himself and shall cover
on behalf of [himself] and his house.
because they have poured out the blood of the saints and of the prophets, thus you have given them blood to drink, as they deserve.”
And I heard the altar saying,
“Yes LORD,
GOD
ALMIGHTY true
and just are your judgments.”
And he shall take the two goats and shall stand them before YHVH [at] the door of the tent of meeting.
Then Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for YHVH and one lot for the goat of removal.
Then the fourth one poured out his bowl
upon
the sun;
and it was granted to it to scorch men with fire;
therefore, men were scorched with great heat and they cursed the name of GOD, the one with authority over these plagues, but they did not repent to give Him glory.
Then one of the seven angels
who had
the seven bowls
came and spoke to me
saying, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, the one who sits on many waters,
And when Abram was ninety nine years old YHVH (read Adonai) appeared to him and said, “I [am] EL SHADDAI,
walk
before me
and be complete.”
This is my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you, which all of you shall keep
– every male among you is to be circumcised.
They are
also seven kings,
five have fallen,
one is, and the other has not yet come, but when he comes, it is necessary that he remain a little while.
THE BEAST
which was, but is not,
is also an eighth king,
and belongs to
the seven kings, and yet he is
going to his destruction.
The ten horns that you saw
are ten kings
who have not yet received a kingdom,
but are receiving authority for one hour,
along with
THE BEAST.
And when he is eight days old every male among you shall be circumcised in your generations, he who is born in your house, or he who is bought with money from any man who is a foreigner, who is not your own descendants.
These have one mind and they are giving up their power and authority to THE BEAST.
Arise YHVH, confront him,
make him bow down;
deliver my life from the wicked with your sword,
from men, with your hand, YHVH, from men of the world, whose portion
[is] in [this] life, and whose belly you fill with hidden things;
they are satiated with children; they leave what remains for their suckling infants.
These will make war
against the LAMB, but
He will conquer them for He is the KING OF KINGS
and LORD OF LORDS, and those accompanying Him are called, and chosen and faithful.”
Then he said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute
sits,
are
peoples
and multitudes and nations and languages,
In righteousness I will see your face;
I will be satisfied when I awake
in your image.
and the ten horns
you saw, and THE BEAST,
will hate
the prostitute,
and they will make her desolate
and naked, and they will
eat her flesh and
burn her with fire.
For GOD
has put into
their hearts
to fulfill His intent, by being united in purpose, and giving their kingdoms to THE BEAST
until the words of
GOD are fulfilled.
The woman you saw is the great city which rules over the kings of the earth.”
with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality,
and those dwelling on the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her lewdness.”
that all may be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
In the spirit he carried me away into the desert, then I saw a woman
sitting
on a scarlet beast
which was full of blasphemous names,
it had seven heads
and ten horns.
The woman was clothed in purple
and scarlet
and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls;
a golden
cup was in her hand
which was full of abominations and the impurity of her sexually immoral acts.
On her forehead
a name was written,
a name which was also a symbol:
BABYLON
THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
I saw that the woman was drunk
with the blood of the saints and with the blood of those willing to give their lives as witnesses
of JESUS.
I marveled with great wonder
upon seeing her.
Then the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel and ponder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast carrying her, the beast which has
seven heads
and ten horns.
And I will establish
my covenant between me and you and your seed after you in their generations as an everlasting covenant; to be God to you and you descendants after you.
The beast that you saw once was, is not, but is at the brink of coming up out of the abyss
and going to its destruction.
Those dwelling on the earth, whose names are not written down in the book of life from the foundations of the world, will be awestruck at seeing this beast which was, but is not, yet will be.
Herein is a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains
and the woman sits on them.
Then I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority and the earth was illuminated because of his glory,
While standing afar off because of the fear of
her torment, they say, ‘Alas! Alas,
O great city,
the strong city,
O BABYLON,
for your judgment has come upon you in one hour.’
The merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her because no one buys their cargoes any longer,
(cargo
of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, things dyed purple, silk, things dyed scarlet, aromatic woods, bronze, iron, marble,
of cinnamon, spices in general, incense, myrrh, frankincense,
wine, common oil, high quality flour, common wheat flour, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, slaves, and the souls of men),
The ripe fruits your soul longed for are departed from you,
all your sumptuous and splendid things
have departed from you, they will never, ever
be found.’
The merchants who have become rich by her
will stand afar off because of the fear of her torment, while weeping and mourning,
saying, ‘Alas! Alas
for the great city, which was clothed
in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls,
because in one hour
such great wealth was destroyed.’
Every shipmaster, every sailor and traveler, and all those who trade by sea, stood at a distance
and cried upon seeing the smoke of her
burning, saying, ‘What city
was like
the great city?
They threw dust on their heads, and cried,
weeping and mourning, and saying, ‘Alas! Alas for that
great city,
in which all who have boats in the sea were made rich through her wealth,
for in one hour
she has been made desolate.
and he shouted with a very loud voice, saying, “Fallen! Fallen is BABYLON the great!
She has become a
dwelling place of demons and a place from which there is no escape
for the unclean things, or the unclean birds,
or the unclean and detestable creatures.
O Heaven, saints, apostles, and prophets, rejoice over her for GOD
judged the judgment of you
against her.”
Then a mighty angel picked up a stone as large as a millstone,
and cast it into
the sea, saying, “With such violent force the great city,
BABYLON,
will be cast down, and it shall not be found any longer.
The sound of harpists and musicians and flautists and trumpeters will never be heard in you again, and any craftsmen of any craft shall not be found in you any longer, and the sound of a mill stone shall not be heard in you any longer,
and the light of one lamp will not shine
in you any longer, and the voice of a bridegroom and a bride
will not be heard in you any longer, because, by your use of sorcery,
all the nations have been deceived, and your merchants were the great merchants of the earth,
and because in her was found the blood of the prophets and of the saints, and of all those who have been slain.”
For all the nations have drunk of the wine
of the wrath
of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have accumulated more
by the power of her sensuality.”
Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “My people, come out, come out of her,
to not
partake in her sins, and to not receive her plagues,
for her sins have been heaped as high as heaven and
GOD
has held in remembrance her sins.
Give back to her as she also has doled out to others, pay her back double to her double
according to her works;
mix her a double portion in the cup she has used for mixing.
The degree to which she has glorified herself and lived in excessive indulgence, is the degree to which you should give her torment and mourning, because she says in her heart, ‘I sit as a queen; I will never be a widow, and I will never see mourning.’
Because of this,
her plagues will arrive in a single day, i.e. death, mourning and famine, and she will be consumed with fire, for mighty is the LORD
GOD
who judges her.
The kings of the earth, those who have committed sexual immorality with her and lived in
excess with her, will weep and wail for her
when they see the smoke of her burning.
After this I heard something like the great rumble of a vast multitude in heaven shouting, “Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our GOD,
And then it happened that, PAUL, having passed through the highland parts in order to come to EPHESUS, and having found certain disciples, (while APOLLOS
was in CORINTH,
And I fell down on my face before his feet
to worship him.
But he said to me, “See that you don’t do that. I am a servant along with you, and alongside your brothers who
hold firmly the testimony
concerning JESUS.

I saw heaven standing open, and behold,
there was a white
horse and
someone sitting on it who is called Trustworthy and Reliable,
who judges and makes war justly,
His eyes were like a flame of fire,
on His head were many royal crowns, and he had a name written on Him which no one knows except He Himself.
He also has a robe that has been immersed in blood,
and his name
is called The Word of GOD.
The armies who were in heaven were following Him, riding on white horses
and clothed in fine linen that was white and pure.
Do not make the deaf small
or put an obstacle in front of the blind, but fear your ELOHIM. I am YHVH (read Adonai).
Out of His mouth goes a sharp sword,
so that with it he might strike down the nations, and he will rule them with an iron scepter, for He treads the wine press filled with the fury and the wrath of GOD, THE ALMIGHTY.
On His robe and on His thigh
He has a name written:
KING OVER ALL KINGS AND LORD OVER ALL LORDS.
Then I saw one angel standing in the sun; he called out with a loud voice to all the birds
flying high above the earth,
saying, “Come! Gather yourselves to the great supper GOD
is providing,
so you can eat the flesh
of kings,
and commanders, and mighty warriors, and horses and those who sit on the horses, and the flesh of all
men, both free men and slaves, both small and great.”
Then I saw the BEAST and the kings of
the earth and
their armies
gathered together to
make war against the One sitting on the horse
and against His army.
You must keep my statutes. You shall not cause your livestock to breed with something different,
nor sow a mixture in your field, nor shall something made of two things together, made of mixed stuff
come upon you.
said to them, “If did
you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they to him, “But we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
true and righteous are His judgments, for He has judged the great prostitute who has corrupted the whole earth with her sexual immorality, and He has avenged the blood of His servants, shed by her hand.”
The BEAST was
captured,
along with the false prophet, who performed signs
before him
by which
he deceived those who
received the mark of
THE BEAST
and those who worshipped its image; they were both
cast alive into
the lake of fire
which burns with brimstone.
If a man goes to bed with, and has sexual relations
with a woman who is a slave or servant and is promised to a man, but a ransom has not yet been paid for her freedom or she has not been given her freedom, there must be an investigation and restitution
shall be paid, but they shall not be put to death because she was not free.
Then he must bring his restitution offering to YHVH (read Adonai), to the door of the tent of meeting (the tabernacle); it must be a ram given as a restitution offering.
The rest were killed by the sword which
comes out of the mouth of the one sitting on the horse;

Then the Pharisees came to Him, testing
Him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to dismiss
his wife for every reason?” (See comments below.)
And again they said, “Hallelujah! The smoke of her goes up for ever and ever!”
However, one of the soldiers pierced His rib
with a spear, and as a direct result
[there] came forth
water and blood.
(See comment below.)
And the one who saw has testified, and his testimony is true, and he knows that he is speaking truth so that you also may believe. (See comment below.)
Answering He said, “Have you not read that the One who created, from the beginning made them male and female?”
Then PAUL said, “JOHN baptized a baptism of repentance telling the people that they should believe into
the [one] coming after him, that is into JESUS.”
Then the twenty-four elders
and the four living beings
fell down and worshipped GOD,
who sits on the throne, saying,
“Amen. Hallelujah!”
A voice came out of the throne
which said, “Continue to praise our GOD
all you His servants, and all who fear Him, both small and great.”
“Now therefore, if in listening you listen
to my voice,
and if you will keep my covenant, then you will be my valued possession which I carefully protect
above all the nations,
for all the earth is mine,
Then, having heard, they were baptized into the name of the LORD JESUS.
Then He said, “On account of this a man will leave father and mother and will be glued to his wife and the two will become one body. (See comments below.)
So no longer are they two, but one body. Therefore, what THEOS has yoked together,

Our GOD,
THE ALMIGHTY,
has reigned.
Let us rejoice, and let us jump for joy; and we will give Him glory, for the time has come for the wedding feast
of the LAMB,
and his bride has made herself ready.
Then MOSES
came and called for the elders of the people and set before their faces all these words YHVH (read Adonai) had commanded.
They say to Him, “Why then did MOSES command to give a small scroll of separation
and dismiss her?”
There were in all about twelve men.
He says to them, “MOSES, in light of your dried-up heart,
permitted you to dismiss your wives, however, from the beginning it has not been this way. (See comment below.)
Then all the people responded united and said, “All that YHVH (read Adonai) has spoken, we will do.” So MOSES returned

The privilege of wearing fine linen,
bright and pure, was given to her” (fine linen represents the righteous deeds of the saints).
Then he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who have been invited to the wedding feast
of the LAMB.’”
Then he said to me,
“These are the true words of GOD.”
But I say to you that whoever dismisses his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery, and he who marries the one that has been dismissed commits adultery. (See comments below.)

I said to my heart, “Come now,
I will test you
with levity, to see
what is good,”
but look,

great and white,
and I saw
the one sitting on it,
from whose face
the earth and
the heavens
fled,
and there was no place found for them.
And I saw the dead, both great
and small,
standing before the throne, and records were opened, then another specific record was opened, which is the Book of Life, and the
dead were judged from the things written in those records, according to their deeds.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and
death
and hades
gave up the dead who were in them, and each of them
were judged according to their works.
Then death
and hades
were cast into the lake of fire.
The lake of fire is
the second death.
And if anyone was not found written in the Book of Life he was cast into
the lake of fire.

that ANCIENT SERPENT,
who is the DEVIL,
or SATAN,

and shut it
and sealed it

Then I saw thrones
and those who sat upon them, and the authority to render judgment
was given to them.
And I also saw the souls of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of JESUS, and
because of the
word of GOD,
and I saw
those who did not worship
THE BEAST or his image,
and did not
take his mark
upon their foreheads
or upon their hand;
these
became alive and,
with CHRIST,
reigned for one thousand years.
The rest of the dead did not come to life again until the thousand years were completed.
This is the first resurrection.
You shall not bow down to them nor serve
them

of those who hate me.

to the thousandth [generation]
of those who love
me and keep my commands.
Blessed and holy is anyone who takes part in the
first resurrection; the second death has no power over them, rather they will be
priests of GOD and of CHRIST and will
reign with Him for one thousand years.
When the thousand years are complete, SATAN will be released
from his prison,

GOG and MAGOG,
to gather them together to make war, and their number is like the sand of the sea,

Then he carried me away in the spirit to a mountain, a huge and very high mountain,
and he showed
me the holy city,
JERUSALEM,

like jasper,

had a massive and high wall, and it had
twelve gates, and at the gates were twelve angels,
and names were inscribed on those gates,

three gates;

three gates;

and then remain in your house and mourn for her father and mother for a full month, and after that you may go into to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife.
And he (the High Priest) shall take a wife in her virginity.
A widow, a woman who has been sent away by her husband, one who is pierced with a deadly defilement, or a harlot, these he (the High Priest) shall not take, but he shall take as a wife a virgin from his own people.
Then later, if you are not pleased with her, you must set her free to go where she wants, but you must definitely not sell her for money, nor keep her bound as a slave, for you have humiliated her.
The wall of the city
had twelve foundations
and on them were
the twelve names
of the twelve Apostles
of the LAMB.
The one speaking to me had a measuring rod
of gold,
so that he could measure
the city,
its gates
and its walls.
And the city is situated as a perfect square with four equal sides, and the length of it was the same as its width; he also measured the city with the rod, and it measured 12,000 stadia,
and the length and the breadth and the height are the same. (See comment below.)
He also measured the wall, it was 144 cubits
by the human measurement, that is also the angel’s measurement.
The material of the wall was jasper
and
the city was
of pure gold,
as clear as glass.
If a man has a son who is stubbornly rebellious
and provocatively rebellious and he will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother and when they have chastised him he will not listen to them,
“Amen, Amen, I say [this] to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and you walked where you desired; however, when you are old, you will stretch forth your hands and another will gird you and will lead you where you do not desire.”
But He said this as a sign [indicating] by what sort of death he will glorify THEOS. And having said this, He says to him, “Follow me.”
Then his father and mother must take hold of him and lead him to the elders of the city, even to the gate of the city,
The wall
of the city had foundations
adorned
with every type of precious stone;
the first foundation with jasper, the second with sapphire, the third with chalcedony, and the fourth with emerald,
and I saw the holy city,
the new JERUSALEM,
coming down out of heaven from GOD,
having been prepared the way a bride
is adorned for her husband.

and a drunkard.”

Turning, Peter sees following [them] the disciple whom Jesus loved , the one who had reclined at the evening meal on His chest and said “Lord, who is he that is betraying you?”
Having seen him, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, and this man, what?”
Then all the men of the city shall stone him with stones and you shall purge
the evil from among you; all ISRAEL will hear and be afraid.
And the twelve gates were twelve
pearls, each gate
a single pearl, and
the street of the city
was pure gold, like transparent glass. (See comment below.)
In the city
I did not see a temple
for the LORD,
GOD
ALMIGHTY,
and THE LAMB are
its temple.
Jesus says to him, “If I desire him to remain until I come, what [is that] to you? You follow me!”
Therefore this saying went out among the brothers, that that disciple does not die. However, Jesus did not say to him that he does not die, but “if I desire him to remain until I come, what [is that] to you?”
The city
has no need for the sun
or the moon,
to shine in it,
for the glory of the LORD
enlightened it
and the LAMB is
its lamp.
[All] ethnic groups
will walk by its light
and the leaders of the earth
bring their glory into it,
Then King DAVID said to ORNAN, “No! but I will definitely buy it for the full price, for I will not take what is yours for YHVH, nor offer a burnt offering that costs me nothing”
and its gates
will not be closed
by day, and there will be
no night
in it,
and they [the city’s gates] will bring
into it the glory and honor
of all ethnic groups,
and there shall not enter into it any defiling thing, nor those practicing abominations, nor any falsehood, but only those who have been written in the Book of Life of the LAMB.
Then I heard a great voice from the throne saying,
“Behold, the tabernacle of GOD
is with men,
and He will tabernacle among them
and they will be His
people and He will be with them to be their GOD.
He will eliminate every tear from their eyes, and there will no longer be any death,
nor will there any longer be mourning, or crying or pain,
for the former things have passed away.”
The one sitting on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He also said, “Write, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
The priest responded by saying to DAVID, “I assure you there is no common bread on hand, but there is consecrated bread, if the young men have kept themselves from women.”
DAVID responded to the priest by saying, “Certainly, women have been kept from us, as has been the case from the beginning until now when I go out, and the ‘equipment’
of the young men is holy even on common journeys, how much more today has their ‘equipment’ been kept holy.”
Then his lord shall approach the elohim and he shall approach the door and his lord shall pierce his ear with an awl and he shall serve him forever.
Then He said to me, “It is done.
I am THE ALPHA AND OMEGA,
the beginning and the end.
To the one who is thirsting I will give freely from the spring of the water of life.
The one who prevails will inherit all things, and I will be His GOD,
and he will be
my son.
They (the priests) shall not take a woman who is a harlot
or one who is defiled,
nor shall they take a woman who has been put away from her husband for the priest is set apart to his ELOHIM.
But the portion
of the
cowardly,
the unbelieving, the ones who have become detestable, the murderers, the sexually immoral, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all liars, is in the lake
burning with fire
and brimstone,
which is the second death.”
Then came one of the seven angels
which had
the seven bowls
which were filled to the brim with the seven last plagues,
and spoke to me saying, “Come, I will show you the bride,
the wife
of the LAMB.”
Then he showed me a river
of water of life,
clear as crystal, flowing out of
the throne of GOD
and of
THE LAMB,
Then he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy
of this scroll, for indeed
the time is near.
Let the one who is unrighteous be unrighteous still, and let him who is defiled with immorality be defiled still, but the one who is righteous let him practice righteousness still, and he who is holy let him be holy still.”
“Behold, I am coming soon,
and my reward is with me
to give to each one
according to his work.
I am the ALPHA AND OMEGA, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
Blessed are those whose robes are washed clean, which will grant them the right to the tree of life,
and they shall enter into the city by its gates.
Outside
are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
And he came to the king. Then the king said to MICAIAH, “Shall we go to war against RAMOTH GILEAD,
or shall we refrain?” Then he answered him, “Go and succeed, for YHVH will deliver it (the city) in the hand of the king.”
Then the king said to him, “How many footfalls mark the strokes
[when] I have made you swear that you tell me nothing but the truth in the name of YHVH?”
I, JESUS, have sent my angel to testify of these things to you for the sake of the churches. I am the root and offspring of
DAVID,
the bright morning star.”
17 The SPIRIT
and
the bride
say, “Come!”
And the one who is hearing this says, “Come!”
“The one who is thirsty let him come.
The one who strongly desires it,
let him
freely
take hold of the water of life.
And he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd. And YHVH (read Adonai) said, ‘These have no master; let each man return to his home in peace.’ ”
Then the king of ISRAEL said to JEHOSHAPHAT, “Did I not tell you he would not prophecy good concerning me, but only for evil?”
I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy
of this scroll, if anyone
should add to these things
GOD
will add to him
the plagues that are
written in this scroll.
If anyone should take away
from the words
of the scroll of
this prophecy GOD
will take away his part in the tree of life
and take him out of the holy city, who are written about in this scroll.
And he said, “Therefore, hear the word of YHVH (read Adonai), I saw YHVH (read Adonai) sitting on His throne and all the army of heavens standing over against [Him] on the right and on the left.

and on each side of
the river was the tree of life,
producing twelve fruits,
each month yielding its corresponding fruit,
and the leaves of
the tree are for the healing
of the ethnic groups,
The one testifying to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly.’”
“Amen.
Come LORD JESUS!”
Then YHVH (read Adonai) said, ‘Who will make AHAB wide open
to go up
so he may fall down at RAMOTH GILEAD?’ This one spoke in this manner, and this one spoke in that manner.
However, behold, the hand of him betraying me with me on the table,
Then one spirit came forward and stood before YHVH (read Adonai), and said, ‘I will open him wide open.’ And YHVH (read Adonai) said, ‘How?’
The grace of the LORD JESUS CHRIST
be with all the holy ones.
Amen.
For indeed, the Son of Man goes
according to what has been determined, but woe to the that man by whom he is betrayed.
And he said, ‘I will go and become a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘you will make him wide open and moreover, you will prevail. Go and do so.’
Therefore, look! YHVH (read Adonai) has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and YHVH (read Adonai) has declared disaster against you.”
And they began to question among themselves who then it might be of them who intending to do this.
If a marriageable young woman who is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, and a man finds
her in the city and lies with her,
you shall bring the two of them out to the gate of the city and you shall kill them by casting
stones
[on them]; the young woman on account of this reason, because she was in the city and did not cry out, and the man on account of this reason, because he humiliated the wife of his fellow. In this way you shall put the evil from among you.
There was also a dispute among them as to which of them is to be the greatest.
Then ZEDEKIAH son of KENAANAH
approached MICAIAH and struck him on the cheek and said, “How did this spirit of YHVH (read Adonai) go from me to speak to you?”
MICAIAH replied, “Look, you will see on the day that you go into the inner chamber to hide.”
Then He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles rule over them and those who exercise authority over them are called benevolent givers of large gifts,
But if in the field a man finds a young woman who is betrothed and the man is strong and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her must die.
But to the young woman you shall not do anything; there is no sin of death in her …
You however, [must] not [do] this, but rather, let the greatest among you be as the youngest, and the one who is leading you as the one who is serving.
Then the king of ISRAEL said, “Take MICAIAH, and return him to AMON the governor of the city, and to JOASH the king’s son.
For who [is] greater, the one reclining or the one serving? [Is] it not the one reclining? But I am in your midst as the one serving.
and say, ‘Thus says the king, Put this one in the prison of the house and feed him bread of affliction and water of affliction until I enter [the city] whole.
for he found her in the open field and the young betrothed woman cried out but [there was] no one to save her
If a man finds a young woman who is a virgin, who is not promised to a man, and he catches her and has sex with her, and the act is found out
But MICAIAH said, “If you ever return whole, YHVH (read Adonai) has not spoken by me.” Then he said, “Pay attention
you people and obey.”
But you are those who have remained with me in my trials.
As my Father appointed a kingdom to me, I too appoint one to you,
then the man who had sex with her shall give the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver,
and she shall become his wife because he has caused her shame. He is not permitted to divorce her all his days.
and there will no longer be any curse,
and the throne of GOD
and of the LAMB
will be in it,
and His servants will serve Him,
so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and may sit on thrones, judging
the twelve tribes of Israel.
SIMON, SIMON, Watch out! SATAN demanded to sift all of you like wheat.
But I have prayed for you, that your faith will not cease, and when you have returned, strengthen your brothers.”
And he said to Him, “LORD, I am ready either to go to prison or to death with you.”
Then He said, “I tell you, PETER,
I tell you, the rooster will not crow today
until you have denied knowing me three times.”
And He said to them, “When I sent you without a money pouch, a traveler’s bag, or sandals,
did you lack anything at all?” And they said, “Nothing.”
Then He said to them, “Now then, to the contrary,
the one who has a money pouch should take it, also a traveler’s bag, and the one who does not have a sword, should sell his cloak to buy one.”
“For I say to you, this [statement] that has been written must be accomplished in me: ‘and he was counted with the lawless.’
For the things [written] concerning me are being fulfilled.”
Then they said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.”
And He said to them, “It is enough.”

will be on their forehead.
There will be no night there,

A woman must not take upon herself anything that pertains to
a man; a man must not put on a garment of a woman, for all who do these things are despicable to YHVH your ELOHIM (read Adonai your Elohim).
Then the king of ISRAEL assembled the prophets, similar to four hundred men, and said to them, “Do I go to fight against RAMOTH GILEAD,
or do I refrain?” And they said, “Go up, and ADONAI will deliver [the city] into the hand of the king.”
Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true, and the LORD, the GOD of
the spirits of the prophets sent His angel to show His servants
the things that must soon take place.”
“Behold, I am
coming without unnecessary delay.
Blessed is the one who faithfully obeys the words of prophecy
of this scroll.”
Then JEHOSHAPHAT said, “[Is there] not here a prophet of YHVH [whereby] we can still inquire of Him?”
I, JOHN,
am the one; it is I that
was seeing and hearing these
things.
When I heard and saw [these things] I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who was showing me these things.
He said to me, “See to it that you do not do this thing. I am your fellow servant, and that of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this scroll. Worship GOD!”
And the two of them shall bring their cause to the Elohim, and whoever the Elohim condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you pay tithe on mint and dill and cumin, yet you have neglected the weightier matters of the law – justice, compassion and faith.
These it behooved you to do, without neglecting those.
When a man takes a woman and marries her and it comes about that she does not find favor in his eyes because he has found in her shameful exposure of her reproductive organs,
and he writes her a scroll of severance and puts [it] in her hand and sends her from his house, (See comment below.)
And Jesus, having left the temple,
was going away,
and His disciples came near to point out to Him the buildings of the temple.
During that time many will become highly displeased,
and they will betray one another and hate one another.
And many false prophets will arise and will cause many to wander from the true path.
And because lawlessness
will definitely increase, the love of many will grow cold.
But he that endures
to the end,
he shall be saved.
And this good news
of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the inhabited world
as a testimony for all the ethnic groups of the world, and then the fulfillment will come.
“And now, fear
YHVH (read Adonai) and serve Him completely
and truthfully, and remove
the gods your fathers served on the other side of the river,
and in EGYPT and serve
YHVH (read Adonai)!
But if it seems wrong or unpleasant
in your sight to serve
YHVH
(read Adonai) then, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,
whether the gods your fathers served that were on the other side of the river,
or the gods of the AMORITES
in whose land you dwell,
but I and my family
will serve YHVH (read Adonai)!
Therefore, when you see
the stench
of desolation
established
in the holy place, spoken of by Daniel, the prophet, (let the reader understand),
those in Judea
should flee
to the mountains;
But the people responded
and said, “Far be it from us to desert YHVH (read Adonai) to serve other gods.”
The righteous falls seven time and stands up again.
Do not bend
justice [that is] due to the foreigner or the fatherless, nor take the garment of the widow as a pledge,
The one on the roof
should not come down to take anything out of his house.
Neither should the one in the field return back to take his cloak.
rather you must each remember that you were a slave in EGYPT and YHVH your ELOHIM (read Adonai your Elohim) redeemed you from there; based on this, I forcefully command you to do this thing.
But JOSHUA said to the people, “You are not able to serve YHVH (read Adonai) for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God, He will not bear
your rebellious transgressions
and your sins.
When you reap the harvest in your field and you forget a sheaf
in the field, do not go back to fetch it; it shall be for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that YHVH your ELOHIM (read Adonai your Elohim) may bless you abundantly
in all the work of your hands.
Then woe to those who have [a child] in their womb,
or to those nursing infants in those days.
And answering He said to them, “Do you not see all these things? I’m telling you an important truth,
none, not even one [stone] shall be left here stone upon stone which will not be thrown down.
and when she has departed from his house and [she] goes and becomes to another man,
If you forsake
YHVH (read Adonai) and serve
foreign gods, He will turn and do you harm
and utterly destroy
you after He has done good to you.
When you beat your olive trees, do not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows.
And pray that your flight not be in winter, or on the Sabbath.
For then there would be
great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor never shall be.
But the people said to JOHSUA, “No, rather we will serve YHVH (read Adonai).”
When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, do not later collect what is leftover;
it shall be for the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows.
So JOSHUA said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen YHVH (read Adonai) for yourselves to serve Him.” Then the people said, “We are witnesses.”
And if those very days had not been cut short,
all flesh
would not have been saved, however, on account of the chosen ones, those days will be cut short.
Then, if someone says to you, “Look, here is the Christ.
Or here.”
Do not believe.
For there will arise pseudo-Christs and pseudo-prophets,
and they will give great signs
and wonders,
so as to lead astray,
if possible,
even the chosen ones.
Behold,
I have told you in advance.
Therefore, if they say to you, ‘Behold, he is in the barren wastelands’ do not go out, or ‘behold, in the inner rooms’
do not believe it.
For the arrival
of the SON OF MAN will be just like lightning that comes out of the East
and shines
as far as the West.
For wherever the carcass may be, there the vultures
will gather.
Directly following
the hardships of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light
and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Now, while He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, His disciples came to him privately saying, “Tell us, when will these things be?
And what will be the sign
of your coming as a king, and of the completion
of the age?
but if the latter husband hates her and writes her a scroll of severance and puts it in her hand and sends her from his house, or if the latter husband who took her to himself for a wife dies,
Then the sign
of the SON OF MAN will appear
in the sky
and all the tribes of the earth will beat on themselves;
they will see the SON OF MAN coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
And He will send His angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather
the chosen ones from the four winds,
from one end of the sky to the other end.
Now learn the parable
from the fig tree; whenever
the branch has become tender and it puts forth leaves, you know that hot weather
is at hand.
In this manner, you also, when you see all these things, know that He is near,
at the doors.
Most assuredly
I say to you that this generation will definitely not pass until all these things have taken place.
Heaven
and earth
will pass away,
but my words will definitely not pass away.
But concerning that day and hour,
no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens,
nor the Son,
but rather the Father only.
For as were the days of Noah, so will be
the coming
of THE SON OF MAN.
For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage,
until that day
when Noah entered the ark,
and they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away; the coming
of the Son of Man will also be like that.
And answering, Jesus said to them, “Watch carefully
lest someone cause you to wander
from the correct path.
her former husband who dismissed her must not take her back to be to him for a wife after she has become impure, for that is an abomination before YHVH; you shall not bring the guilt of sin on the land that YHVH your ELOHIM
is giving you as an inheritance.
At that time two
will be in the field,
one is
received and
the other one is rejected.
Two women are grinding with the mill,
one is received
and one is rejected.
So stay awake and watching,
because you do not know what day your Lord will come.
And know this, if the master of the house had known in which watch of the night the thief
comes, he would have kept watch and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Because of this you also must be prepared
for the SON OF MAN
comes in that hour when you do not expect it.
Who then is the faithful servant, whom the master has appointed over his household, to give them food at the right time?
Blessed [is] that servant whom, when his master comes,
will find him acting in that manner.
I tell you a sure thing – he will appoint him to be over all his possessions.
However, if that evil servant should say in his heart, “My master delays,”
and he should begin to beat his fellow servants, moreover to eat and drink with drunkards,
For many will come in my name
saying, ‘I am
THE CHRIST,’
and they will cause many to wander from the true path.
the master of that servant will come on a day in which he does not expect it and at an hour he does not know,
and he will flog him severely with a sharp scourge,
and will assign him a place with the hypocrites;
in that place there will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
You are going to hear wars
and reports of wars,
behold, do not be alarmed; it is necessary for [these] to take place,
but the purpose
is not yet [fulfilled].
Nation will rise up against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines
and earthquakes
throughout places.
Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted off, you everlasting doorways,
and the King of glory will come in.
All these, then, are
the beginning of birth pains.
During the time when those things are taking place, they will deliver you to persecution,
and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.
It is the glory of ELOHIM to conceal a matter,
but the glory of kings to deeply search out
a matter.
And I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year and it will produce enough produce for three years.
His master said to him, “Well done you honorable and trustworthy servant! You were faithful in little; I will put you in charge of many. Enter
into your master’s favor.”
In the eighth year you shall sow but you will eat of the old, stored
produce until the ninth year; until its produce comes in, you shall eat what was stored.
After taking the cup and after giving thanks for it, He gave it to them saying, Drink from it, all of you.

When you have crossed over JORDAN, these shall stand on MOUNT GERIZIM to bless the people:
SIMEON

JUDAH
and ISSACHAR,
and JOSEPH
and BENJAMIN.
And these shall stand on Mount EBAL
to curse:
REUBEN
GAD
And ASHER
And ZEBULON,
DAN
And NAPHTALI.
And it shall be, that when you cross over the JORDAN,
you shall set up these stones which I command you today, on MOUNT EBAL,
and you shall whitewash them with lime.
And you shall write on the stones all
the words of the law included here,
engraving them clearly
and well done.
And you shall put the Urim
and Thummim
in the pouch of decision
and they shall be over the heart of AARON when he goes before YHVH (say Adonai), so shall AARON carry the decision of the sons of ISRAEL over his heart before YHVH (say Adonai) continually.
Give to YHVH, Oh sons of Elim,
give to YHVH glory and strength.
For I know the plans I plan
for you, says YHVH (read Adonai), plans for peace
and not for evil, [plans] to give you a future and a hope.
Therefore, YHVH (read Adonai) said, “In as much as this people draws near to me with their mouths, and honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far removed from me, and their fear of me is only commands taught by men,
And I will dwell in the middle
of the sons of ISRAEL and be their ELOHIM,
And they will know that I am YHVH, their ELOHIM
(read Adonai their Elohim).

For all things

By night
on my bed I begged

I begged for him but did not find him.
“Write this to the angel of the church at Sardis: The one who possesses the seven spirits of GOD
and holds the seven stars

The saying [is] faithful: If anyone is reaching out toward
inspection and oversight,
he is longing for a good work.
Likewise,
wives, be subject
to your own husbands so that, even if any refuse to obey the word, they will be won over without a word, by the conduct of their wives,
Now the serpent
was more smooth
than any living
thing from the field which YHVH
ELOHIM (read Adonai Elohim) had made.
He said to the woman,
“Has ELOHIM
indeed said ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?’” (See comment below.)
[For] the favorable sake of this,
I PAUL,

and to the authorities in heavenly [places],
First these should also be proved worthy through testing,
then, being blameless, let them serve.
And he said,
“I heard the sounds
you were making in the garden and I was afraid
because I was naked, so I hid myself.”
Because you have kept my command to patiently endure, I will keep you from the hour of trial

Its posts he made of silver,

I have seen
the depressing
task ELOHIM
has given the sons of men in which they are to be occupied;
He has made everything to be
beautiful
in its proper time, and He
has placed ignorance
in the hearts of men so that man will not find out the work ELOHIM does from beginning and to the end.
I am coming quickly.
Hold fast to what
you have, so that no one takes your crown.
O daughters of ZION,
come out, and look at King SOLOMON
wearing a crown,
with which his mother crowned him
on the day of his wedding,
the day his heart rejoiced.
And he said, “Who told you that you were naked?
From the tree that I commanded you should not eat from have you eaten?

I know there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good in their lives.

And YHVH ELOHIM (read Adonai Elohim) said to the woman, “What is this you have done?

CHRIST redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for as it has been written, “cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree”),
so that in JESUS CHRIST the blessing of ABRAHAM might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Holy Spirit through faith.

The true and faithful witness
the ruler of creation,

I know that
everything GOD does will last forever;
nothing can be added to it
and nothing taken away from it,
and GOD does this so that men will fear
Him.
Anything that is, has already been, and that which is to come, has already been,

what is pursued.
I know your deeds, that you are neither hot

I am about to vomit you out of my mouth.
Again I saw under the sun, that in the place
of judgment

I said in my heart, “ELOHIM will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is time there

And to ADAM
He said,
“Because you have heeded

If anyone destroys
the temple of THEOS, THEOS will destroy him, for the temple of THEOS, which you are, is holy.
If the will of God might will it so, it is better to suffer for doing good than for doing evil,
for even CHRIST suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, so that He might lead you to THEOS, having been put to death
in the flesh, but having been made alive in the Spirit,
For if the inheritance is by the law, it is no longer by a promise,
but THEOS has granted it to ABRAHAM

For there are many, of whom I have told you often, and now indeed, even weeping I say, who walk as enemies of the cross of Christ,

I said in my heart concerning
the condition
of the sons of Adam,
“GOD tests
them so they may see that they themselves are like animals.
For the fate that comes upon
the sons of Adam is the fate that comes upon the animals; one thing comes upon them; as this one dies, so that one dies,
and surely they all have one breath.
Man has no advantage over the animals,

Amen, I tell you that every sin of the sons of men will be forgiven them, even their blasphemies, whatever forms of blasphemy they may commit,

a time to earnestly seek something, and a time to give something up as utterly lost,
Who is this coming up from the desert
like columns of smoke,
like the sacrificial burning of myrrh
and frankincense,
along with all the spices
of the merchant?
He who has an ear let him hear,
what the SPIRIT is saying to the churches.
Look! It is SOLOMON’S carriage,
escorted by strong and valiant men, sixty
of them,
the noblest
of ISRAEL,
Write this to the angel of the church
at Philadelphia. The one who is holy and true, the one who holds the key of
DAVID, when He opens something no one can shut it, when He closes something no one can open it, He says this:
a time to tear one’s garment,
a time to sew the two pieces back together,
And it is also necessary that he have a good witness from those outside, so that he not fall into reproach and the snare of THE DEVIL.
But whatever things were an advantage to me, those, because of CHRIST, I now consider a loss.
And the eyes of both of them were opened
and they knew that they were bare,
and they sewed together
fig leaves
and made for themselves
loin-coverings (See comment below.)
of which I became completely dusty
according to the undeserved gift of the grace
of THEOS freely given to me according to His energizing,
dynamic power,
Husbands likewise [have become sons of Abraham]
by living jointly with your wife in knowledge as with a weaker vessel, and by giving her the high value
due her as joint heirs of the grace of life, in order that your prayers not be hindered.
Likewise a dusty servant
must be deeply respected,
not double-tongued, not stuck on
lots of wine nor on shameful profit,
to me, the [one who is] lower than the lowest
of all the holy ones, was given this undeserved favor [that I may] announce to the Gentiles the untraceable
good news of the abundance
of CHRIST,
What’s more, indeed, I count all things to be a loss because of the higher quality of the knowledge of CHRIST JESUS my Lord, for whom I have lost all things, and consider them as refuse
that I may gain CHRIST,
Then they heard the sound
of YHVH ELOHIM (read Adonai Elohim) walking
in the garden at the breath of the day,
and ADAM and his wife hid themselves from the presence of YHVH ELOHIM (read Adonai Elohim) among the trees of the garden. (See comment below.)

and a time to hate,
a time of war
and a time of peace.
‘I know your deeds.
Because your strength is
small, and yet you have kept my word and not denied my name, behold,
I have
placed before you an open door, one which no one can shut.
all of them holding swords,
all experienced in battle,
each with his sword on his thigh,
prepared for the terrors of the night.
This is what I will give
to those who
are of the synagogue of SATAN, those who declare
themselves to be JEWS but are not, for they lie: behold, I will make them come and bow down at your feet
and they will know that I have loved you.
King SOLOMON made a carriage
for himself, out of wood from LEBANON.
What profit does a laborer have from the things in which he toils?
and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which comes from the law, but that which comes through the faithfulness of CHRIST, the righteousness of THEOS, based on faith.
And YHVH
ELOHIM (read Adonai Elohim)
called to ADAM
and said to him, “Where are you?”
and to enlighten
everyone [regarding] what is the management of the mystery which has been kept secret from the ages in THEOS, the one who created all things,
holding the mystery
of the faith with a clean conscience.
Today I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.
Therefore, choose life so you may live, both you and your descendants.
The words of King LEMUEL,
they are the burden
which his mother taught him:
Who can find a wife
that is worthy and honorable because she is strong, valiant, capable, and effective?
Her value is far above that of crystalline gemstones. (See comment below.)
The heart of her husband trusts, so there is no lack of plunder.
She deals with him bountifully
[and with] pleasantness
not disagreeableness all the days of her life. (See comment below)
Assemble the people, the men, those who are opposite of men,
those who walk with tripping gait,
and the foreigners within your gates, so they will continue to hear, and continue to learn,
and as a result, to completely fear
YHVH your ELOHIM (read Adonai your Elohim),
and in order to completely guard all the words of this Torah
in order to do them.
She seeks wool and flax and works with her hands with pleasure.
She is like the ships of those who travel around —
she brings her food from far away.
Therefore, you must keep the Sabbath for it is holy to you. Anyone who defiles it must surely be put to death, for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among His people.
For six days work may be done, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest,
it is holy to YHVH (read Adonai); whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
She rises while it is still night and gives food to her household and a prescribed amount to her female servants.
She considers a field and takes possession of it;
from the fruit of her hand she plants a vineyard.
She girds her loins with strength
and strengthens her arms.
She perceives
that her profits
are pleasing.
Her lamp is not extinguished by night.
When He had finished speaking with him on MOUNT SINAI,
He (God) gave to MOSES the two tablets of the testimony,
tablets of stone,
written with the finger
of ELOHIM.
She stretches out her hand [to take hold of] the distaff, and her [other] hand holds the spindle.
She extends her hand to the poor, and stretches
her hand out to those in need.
She is not afraid for her household when snow comes
because all of her household
are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for herself;
her clothes are fine linen and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates
in which he sits with the elders of the land.
She makes and sells fine linen wraps,
and she gives
wide cloth belts
for the Canaanites.
Strength and honor are her clothing and she will laugh
for the time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom and the law of compassionate kindness
is on her tongue.
She watches over the ways of her household
and she does not eat the bread of idleness,
Her children stand up and call her blessed, and her husband praises her:
“Many daughters
have produced wealth,
but you ascend above them all.
Elegance
is deceitful
and beauty is like a vapor,
but a woman who fears YHVH, she will shine.
Bestow on her the fruit of her hands and let her deeds praise her in the gates.
Look! The days are coming, says YHVH (read Adonai), when I will cut a new covenant with the house of ISRAEL and with the house of JUDAH,
not like the covenant I cut with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to lead them out of EGYPT, my covenant which they broke, even though I was a husband to them, says YHVH (read Adonai).
But this is the covenant I will cut with the house of ISRAEL after those days,
says YHVH (read Adonai), I will put my Torah in their minds and write it on their hearts
and I will be their ELOHIM and they will be my people.
And every man shall not teach his neighbor, or every man his brother, saying, “Know YHVH (read Adonai)!” For all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them, says YHVH (read Adonai). For I will forgive their depravity and remember their sins no more.
They sacrificed to demons which [were] not ELOAH,
to gods they did not know, new ones, ones that arrived recently,
ones your fathers did not fear.
Then all the people tore out the earrings of gold that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron.
And he received it from their hands and fashioned it with an engraving tool and made a cast image of a calf. Then they said, “These
are your gods,
Israel, that brought you up out of the land of EGYPT.”
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in the face of it, and he proclaimed, “Tomorrow will be a festival to YHVH (read Adonai)!”
The Most High, in dividing the inheritance to the nations, in separating the sons of Adam, set up boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.
For the portion
of YHVH (read Adonai) is His people; JACOB
is His inheritance
measured with a cord.
he looks upon mortal men and speaks, “I have missed the way, and twisted the right, and it did not level me.”
Recently you turned back and did what was right in my eyes, with every man proclaiming liberty to his neighbor; you made a covenant before me in the house that is called by my name.
But you turned away and treated my name
as something common; every one of you brought back
his male and female slaves whom you had sent away free to do what they desired, you brought them back into bondage to be your male slaves and female slaves.
Therefore, YHVH (read Adonai) says this: You have not obeyed me by having everyone proclaim freedom
to his brother or to his neighbor. Look! I proclaim to you that there is freedom, says YHVH (read Adonai), freedom for the sword, for diseases and for famine; I will deliver you to trembling in all the kingdoms of the earth.
The men who swept aside my covenant,
who did not uphold the words of the covenant which they cut
before me, I will deliver
them over to the same fate as the calf when they cut it in two and passed between its parts.
I will deliver
the princes of JUDAH, the princes of JERUSALEM, the eunuchs,
the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the parts of the calf
into the hand of their enemies, those who seek their lives, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth.
For he must remain
in the fortified place of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest, the one who dashed [someone] to pieces
may return to the land of his possession.
Son of man, direct your face against GOG of the land of MAGOG,
the chief head
of MESHECH
and TUBAL,
and prophesy against him.
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of Elohim shouted for joy.
Therefore we should fear, lest any of you should seem to have fallen short of it, since the promise of entering His rest
remains,
After these things, I looked
and behold,
a door was standing opened in heaven and the voice I had
heard at first, the voice like a trumpet, was speaking to me and saying: “Come up here
and I will show you what will
inevitably happen
after these things.”
How beautiful you are, my Love!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes
behind your veil
are doves.
Your hair
is like a flock of goats
descending
from Mount GILEAD.
Again I observed all the oppression that is done under the sun. Look!
Look at the tears of the oppressed. But they have no comforter because power is on the side of their oppressors.
For if they fall,
one will lift up his companion,
but woe
to him who is but one
when he falls for he has no second
to help him up.
the twenty-four elders will fall down before the One sitting on the throne and worship the One who lives through the ages of the ages, and they will cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your aromatic oils more than all spices!
10 For the one who has entered into His rest also rests
from his work just as God rested from His own work.
Just as each one has received a gracious gift to be completely dusty
for each other; [do so] as good managers
of the multi-colored grace of THEOS.
If anyone speaks, _______
as oracles or divinely inspired words
of THEOS,
if anyone is completely dusty,
________ as from strength which THEOS supplies in full,
so that THEOS may be glorified in all things
through JESUS CHRIST,
to whom be the glory
and the power to rule completely
unto the ages of the ages,
amen.
Therefore, we should urgently exert ourselves
to enter into that rest, so that no one fall
by [following] the same example of disobedience.
“You are worthy, O LORD
our GOD,
to receive
glory and honor and power,
for you have created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
Your lips drip
honey
just like the honeycomb,
my bride;
milk and honey
are under your tongue.
The scent of your garments
is like the scent of LEBANON.
Also if two
lie down together they will be warm, but one alone, how can he get warm?
Although [an assailant] may overpower
one person, two people can stand against him. A threefold cord
is not quickly torn apart.
You are a garden
locked up,
my sister, my bride;
you are an enclosed
spring
a sealed
fountain.
For the word of God is living and energetic;
it is sharper than a two-edged sword, and it can penetrate so far as to divide the soul from the spirit,
or divide the joints from the marrow of the bones, and it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
For nothing in all creation is hidden from Him; but all things are stripped naked and cut wide open
before the eyes of Him to whom our reckoning is due.
I have strength to prevail
[in] everything in
the [one who] enables
me.
Your sprouts
are
an orchard
of pomegranates
with choice fruits,
with henna
and nard,
We do not want you to be ignorant, brothers,
concerning those who sleep, so that you should not be grieved as the rest, as those who have no hope.
Better a poor youth
who is wise than an old king who is foolish
and will no longer take warnings.
For he came from the house of bondage
to become king,
even though he was born poor in his kingdom.
nard
and
saffron, calamus
and cinnamon, with all the frankincense trees,
with myrrh
and aloes
and all the finest spices.
For if we believe that JESUS died and rose again, so also [we believe] that THEOS will bring with Him those that
have fallen asleep through JESUS.
For we declare this to you in the word of the LORD,
that we the living who remain until the coming of the LORD, shall in no way precede those who have fallen asleep,
I saw that all the living who walk under the sun [were]
with the youth, the second
who stands in his place.
You are a garden
fountain,
a well of living waters
streaming down from LEBANON.
Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow
on my garden, that its fragrance
may flow everywhere.
Let the one I love come into his enclosed garden
and taste
its choice fruits.
because the LORD Himself, with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and the trumpet of GOD,
will descend from heaven, and the dead in CHRIST will rise
first.
There was no end to the people over whom he was [king], yet those who came afterward will not rejoice in him.
Surely this is a vapor,
a chasing of the wind.
Then, together with them, we, the living who remain, will be snatched up
into the clouds unto the meeting of the LORD in the air; and so we will be with the LORD always.
CAIN was building a fortified place,
and he called the name of the fortified place according to [the name of] his son, ENOCH.
Therefore, encourage
one another with these words.
Then Lamech took two wives.
The name of one was ADAH and the name of the other was Zillah.
and beware lest you lift
your eyes to the heavens and see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the organized array of the heavens that look like a mighty army,
and [you feel] thrust away
to worship them and to serve that which YHVH (read Adonai) your ELOHIM
has divided
to all the peoples under all the heavens.
For we also have had the Gospel preached to us, just as they did, but their hearing of the message did not profit them since it was not united with the faith of those who heard it.
Your teeth
are like a flock of sheep,
just shorn
coming up
from the washing place.
Each one bears twins;
not one of them is barren.
Right away I was in the Spirit
and behold,
a throne was being established
in heaven and someone is sitting on that throne.
Therefore I praised the dead, those who died long ago,
more than the living who are still alive.
And Adah bore
Jabal;
he was the father
of those who dwell in tents and [raise] marketable domestic animals.
The name of his brother was JUBAL; he was the father of all who wield the lyre and reed-pipe.
As for Zillah, she also bore [a son] TUBAL-CAIN,
the one who sharpened
all the craftsmen of bronze
and iron that can pierce.
And the sister of TUBAL-CAIN was NAAMAH.
Then Lamech said to his wives ADAH and Zillah, “Pay attention to my voice, oh wives of Lamech, and put your hand to your ears to better hear the words I speak: for I have killed a man for wounding me, even a lad
for striking me.
If the death of CAIN should be avenged seven times, then harm to Lamech
should be avenged seventy-seven times. (See comment below.)
For those of us who have believed enter that rest, as He has said, “So, in my wrath, I swore an oath: ‘They will never enter my rest.’” And yet from the laying of the foundations of the world, the works have been finished.
And better than both of them is the one who has never existed,
who has not seen the miserable work that is done under the sun.
Your lips
are like a ribbon
of scarlet;
your mouth is lovely.
Your temples
behind your veil
are like a piece of pomegranate.
The one sitting on the throne had the appearance of Jasper
and Sardius,
and His throne was encircled by an emerald rainbow.
Surrounding the throne
were twenty-four thrones
and on those thrones
twenty-four elders
were sitting,
who were
clothed in white garments and
on their heads were golden crowns.
Again I observed that all troublesome toil and all success-producing and skillful
work is a jealous competition between a man and his neighbor. This too is like a vapor,
like trying to catch the wind.
Your neck
is like the tower
of DAVID,
built of stone;
in rows on it hang
a thousand shields,
all of them shields of warriors.
For He has spoken somewhere
about the seventh day in this way, “And on day seven THEOS rested from all His works.”
And again in this passage, “They shall never enter into my rest.”
Watch and see; I will send ELIJAH
the prophet to you before
the coming of the great and fear-inspiring
day of YHVH (read Adonai).
Your two
breasts
are like two fawns,
like twin
fawns of a gazelle
that graze
among the lilies.
Out of the central throne came flashes of lightning and the sound of thunder,
and before
the throne
were sevens lamps of fire
burning
these are
the seven Spirits of GOD.
The fool folds his hands and consumes his flesh.
Better
is one full hand with rest,
than both hands full of toil and chasing after the wind.
When the day breathes in refreshing coolness,
and shadows become indistinguishable,
I will go
to the mountain
of myrrh
and to the hill
of frankincense.
Also before the throne,
there was, as it were, a sea of glass like crystal. There were four living beings
who were in the midst of the throne and surrounding the throne.
These four living beings were covered with eyes in front and in back.
And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the hearts of the sons to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.
Therefore, since it remains for some to enter into it, and those who formerly had received the Gospel did not enter in because of their disobedience,
again He appointed a certain day, calling it “Today,”
saying through DAVID a long time later, just it had been said earlier, “Today, if you should hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
The first living being
was like a lion,
the second one
was like a bull calf,
the third
had the face of a man,
and the fourth
was like a flying eagle.
I returned
and I saw
vapor under the sun.
You are altogether beautiful, my Love; there is no blemish in you.
Come with me, my bride,
from LEBANON,
come with me from LEBANON.
Look from the crest of AMANA,
from the top of Senir,
the summit of HERMON,
from the lion’s
dens
and the mountains
of the leopards.
Each of the four living beings
which had six wings,
was fully covered with eyes
all around
and within.
These living beings
have no rest day or night, for they are continually saying, “Holy, Holy, Holy
is the
LORD, THE ALMIGHTY ONE, the one who
was and is
and is to come.”
There is one and there is no second,
indeed he has no son
and brother,
yet there is no end to all his toil
and his eye is not satisfied with riches.
“But for whom do I toil and deprive myself of enjoyment?”
This also
is like a vapor,
it is a
miserable task.
For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken after this about another day.
So then there remains for the people of God a time to pause and connect as God truly intended.
Two are better than one, because the two of them
have a better wage
for their troublesome toil.
And whenever the
living beings give glory, honor and thanksgiving
to the One sitting on the throne, the one who lives through the ages of the ages,
You have heartened me,
my sister,
my bride;
you have heartened me with one glance of your eyes,
with each necklace
on your neck.
My soul is in despair
within me, therefore
I will call you to mind
from the land of the JORDAN, and from HERMON
and from mount MIZAR.
Deep waters
cry out
to deep waters with the sound of pouring water;
your breaking waves, yes, your heaped-up waves, have all passed over me.
During the day YHVH (read Adonai) commands His loving kindness, at night His song is with me, a prayer to the EL of my life.
You, son of man,
proclaim an explanation
of the temple to the house of Israel that they may be ashamed of their guilty condition. Let them measure its well-proportioned pattern
(Oh that
they would become ashamed of all they have done.)
Make known to them the design of the temple – its arrangement, its exits and entrances – its entire design and all its regulations, its entire structure and all its laws. Write these down while in their sight so that they may be faithful to its design and put to practice all its regulations.
Look! The glory of the ELOHIM of ISRAEL came from the East
the glory of YHVH (read Adonai) entered the temple through the gate which faces East
and the glory of YHVH (read Adonai) filled the temple
Everyone who believes that JESUS is the CHRIST is born of THEOS.
Sexual immorality
is completely
heard among you, and such sexual immorality as not _______ even among the nations,
so that one has his father’s wife.
King BELSHAZZAR made a great feast for one thousand of his nobles and drank wine in front of and because of the thousand.
1 I saw a scroll
that had writing on both sides
and was sealed with seven seals;
it was in the right hand
of the one seated on the throne.
I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride;
I have gathered my myrrh with my fragrant spices.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey;
I have drunk my wine with
my milk.
Eat, O dear ones,
and drink.
O loved ones,
drink your fill of love.
Watch
your feet carefully
when you go to the ELOHIM’S house,
also draw near to hear
rather than to give the sacrifice of fools,
for they do not know that they do evil.
He who loves silver will never have enough silver,
and he who loves abundance [will not be satisfied] with his income. This too is like a vapor.
And you have made them to be kings and priests for our GOD, and they
shall reign upon the earth.”
My Love is radiant
and ruddy,
outstanding among ten thousand.
If we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son while we were enemies, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved in His life!
The one who believes in the SON OF GOD has the testimony in himself. The one who is not believing THEOS,
has made Him a liar because he has not believed in the testimony that THEOS has testified concerning HIS SON.
And this is the testimony, that THEOS has given us eternal life and this life is in HIS SON.
Then I saw and heard
many angels, thousands upon thousands of them,
even ten thousand times ten thousand angels
who joined the four living beings and
the twenty-four elders
surrounding the throne;
His head is like
the finest and purest gold;
his locks of hair are wavy
and black
as a raven.
When prosperity increases, those who consume it increase,
so what profit does the owner have except to see it with his eyes?
The sleep of the worker
is sweet whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of the rich does not allow
him to sleep.
they were loudly proclaiming,
“Worthy is the LAMB
who was slain,
to receive
power and riches and
wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise.”
His eyes are like doves
by the fast-flowing streams of water,
washed in milk,
set like jewels in their setting.
The one who has THE SON [OF GOD] has life; the one who does not have THE SON OF GOD does not have life.
I have written these things to those who are believing in the name of the SON OF GOD so that you may know that you have eternal life.
Is anyone among you enduring malicious hardship?
He should pray.
Is anyone cheerful? He should make music.
Then I heard every creature which is in heaven, on the earth, and under the earth, and everything that is in the seas, saying to the one sitting on the throne and to the LAMB, “Praise and honor and glory and power be yours forever and forever.”
His cheeks
are like garden terraces of balsam,
like a huge mound of aromatic spices.
His lips are like floral serendipities dripping with flowing myrrh.
There is a grievous, miserable reality I have observed under the sun, riches that are kept by its owner to his own misery.
But that wealth is caused to vanish through a bad, miserable situation he must endure,
so when he brings forth a son
there is nothing in his hand.
The living beings said, “Amen;”
and
the twenty-four elders
fell down and worshipped.
His hands
are hinges
of gold set with chrysolite.
His internal organs
are like polished ivory,
decorated with sapphires.
Is anyone among you feeble?
Let him call for the elders
of the church to come to him, and let them pray over him, anointing
him with oil
in the name of the LORD.
And this is the bold confidence
we have toward Him, that if we should ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
Embrace
one another with a kiss
of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ. Amen.
And if we know that He hears us
if we ask for something, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him.
And the prayer of the faithful
[elder] will deliver
the one who is weary and sick, and the LORD will raise him up;
even though
he has committed sins, it will be forgiven him.
Remember that you were a slave in the land of EGYPT and that YHVH (read Adonai) your ELOHIM brought you out of there with
a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.
Therefore, YHVH (read Adonai) your ELOHIM has commanded you to observe
the Sabbath day.
His legs
are pillars
of marble
set on bases of gold.
His appearance is like LEBANON, choice as its cedars.
As he came from his mother’s womb, he shall return to go as he came
– naked; and he will not take anything from his troublesome toil which he can carry in his hand.
This also is a grievous irritation,
just exactly as
he came, so shall he go. What profit does the one have who labors arduously for the wind?
His mouth is
sweetness itself;
he is completely pleasing to me.
This is the one I love,
this is my friend,
O daughters of JERUSALEM.
If someone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give life to those committing a sin which does not lead to death. There is a sin which leads to death; I do not say he should ask about that.
Therefore, acknowledge the sins to one another, and wish
for one another that you all may be healed. Being active and effective, the supplication of a righteous one
prevails much.
All unrighteousness is sin, but there is a sin that does not lead to death.
All his days
he ate
in darkness,
and much sorrow and sickness and anger.
For if by the sin
of one, death reigned through the one, how much more will those receiving the overflowing abundance
of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign
in life through the one, Jesus Christ?
Therefore, then,
just as by one sin condemnation [is]
unto all men, so also by one righteous act, justification of life [is]
unto all men.
Look at what I have seen,
that it is good and beautiful
to eat
and drink and perceive
the good of all his troublesome toil in which he toils
under the sun
all the days of his life which
ELOHIM has given him, for it is
his portion.
Furthermore, every man to whom ELOHIM has given riches
and wealth
and the power to eat of it, and to receive his inheritance, and to rejoice in his labor, this is the gift
of ELOHIM.
For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many
were designated
as sinners, so likewise, through the obedience of the one, the many will be designated as righteous.
Of himself the Son is able to do nothing except if he sees the Father doing that thing, for whatever things He does, these things the Son also does likewise.
While BELSHAZZAR ate wine,
he gave the command to bring the vessels of gold and silver which his father NEBUCHADNEZZAR,
had taken from the temple which had been in JERUSALEM, so that the king, his nobles and his wives and concubines could drink from them.
Yet you are puffed up
and have not rather
mourned, so that the one who has done this deed might be removed from your midst.
Do not be hasty
with your mouth, and do not let hasty
words come out of your heart
before ELOHIM,
for ELOHIM is in heaven and you are on earth, therefore,
based on this,
let your words be few.
And I saw a mighty angel
proclaim in a very loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”
I slept
but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my Love that knocks:
“Open
to me, my sister, my Love, my dove, my flawless
one.
My head
is filled with dew,
my locks of hair
with the heavy dewdrops
of the night.”
He will not often remember the days of his
life for ELOHIM
causes him to be continually occupied
with the joy of his heart.
For I say to you, that if your righteousness is not in excess above that of the Scribes
and Pharisees,
you shall no not
enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
For the Father loves
the Son, and shows him all things that he is doing; and He will show him greater works than these so that you may marvel.
You have heard that it was said to the ancients, You shall not murder; whoever murders shall be held
for judgment,
placing yourselves under
one another in fear of CHRIST.
Wives, to your own husbands
as to the LORD,
but I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be held for judgment; whoever says to his brother, “You empty-head!” will be held for judgment by the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, “you fool,”
will be held for the judgment of the fire of hell.
But you, O BELSHAZZAR, [are] his son; you have not brought your heart down low because you knew all this which was in front of you.
You have lifted yourself up against the Lord the heavens and you [have brought] before you the vessels of His house which they brought, and you, and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have drunk from them, and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone which do not see or hear or know or communicate [anything],
and you have not honored the God who holds your breath in his hand and to whom all your ways belong.
for the husband is the head
of the wife, as also CHRIST is the head of the assembly of the called-out ones, He Himself being the Savior of the body.
But even as the assembly of the called-out ones arranges itself under CHRIST, so also the wives to their own husbands in everything.
Thereupon the palm of the hand was sent from Him and the writing was inscribed.
As a tongue of fire eats stubble, and the flame [causes] dry grass to shrink down…”
ENOCH walked with ELOHIM, then he no longer existed, for ELOHIM took him.
And this is what was written: Mene, Mene, Teqel, and pharsin.
Husbands, love
your wives, even as CHRIST loved the assembly of the called-out ones
and handed himself over for her.
This is the interpretation of the message: MENE: God has numbered your kingdom and brought it to its end.
TEQEL: you have been weighed in the balance and been found lacking.
You have heard that it was said, Do not commit adultery.
But I say to you that anyone who looks at a woman in order to lust after her
has committed adultery with her in his heart.
PERES: your kingdom has been broken into pieces and given to the Medes and Persians.
Then BELSHAZZAR spoke a commanded in response to which DANIEL was quickly clothed in purple and a golden chain [was placed] around his neck and a proclamation was made concerning him that he should become the third ruler in the kingdom.
And if your right eye causes you to be entrapped, take it out and throw it away; indeed it is better for you that one of your members be destroyed
and not all your body be cast
into hell.
So they brought the vessels of gold which had been taken from the temple of the house of the God
which had been in JERUSALEM and the king and his nobles, his wives and concubines drank from them.
For a dream
comes through a multitude of laborious activities,
and the voice
of
a fool comes from
many words.
But no one was able, neither in heaven nor on earth nor in the under-world,
to open the scroll
nor look at what it said.
I have taken off
my tunic,
must I put it on again?
I have washed
my feet,
must I soil them again?
In [that] night BELSHAZZAR the king of the Chaldeans was killed.
I am unable to do anything of myself; I judge according to what I hear, and my judgment is just because I do not seek my will, but the will of the One who has sent me.
However, you as individuals, each
must love his own wife as himself; and I appeal to the wife that she may respect the husband
Everyone who has been born of THEOS is victorious over the world; and this is the victory which is victorious over the word – our faith.
They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone.
I wept bitterly because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll
and look at what it said.
My Love put his hand
completely through
the latch-opening;
my feelings were stirred for him.
When you vow a vow
to ELOHIM do not delay to complete it
for [He has] no pleasure in fools. Make good on
what you have vowed.
You have heard that it was said, You will love
your neighbor, and you will hate your enemy,
However, I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
so that you may be sons of your Father who is in the heavens.
At that time
and because of the lampstand,
the fingers of a man’s hand came forth and wrote
on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace and the king saw the palm of the hand that wrote.
And who is the one who is victorious over the world, if not the one who believes that JESUS is the SON OF GOD?
It is better to not make a vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.
Then one of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep.
Behold,
the LION
OF THE TRIBE OF
JUDAH,
the ROOT OF DAVID,
has prevailed;
He can open the scroll
and
its seven seals.”
I rose up to open for my Love, and my hands dripped
with myrrh, my fingers
overflowed
with myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
Then I saw a lamb that looked like it had been slain. It was standing
in the center of the throne;
and of the four living beings
and the twenty-four elders.
The LAMB
had seven horns
and seven eyes,
which are the seven spirits of GOD,
which GOD
sent out
into the world.
I opened for my Love, but my Love had turned away; he had simply vanished.
My soul fled away when he spoke.
I looked for him but did not find him.
I called him but he did not answer.
Do not let your mouth cause your flesh
to sin, nor say before the representative [of God]
that it was an error.
Why should
ELOHIM
be angry at your voice
and destroy
the work of your hands?
This is the one who has come
by water and blood, JESUS CHRIST, not by water only, but by water and by blood. And the Spirit is the one who is testifying because the Spirit is the truth.
Say to the sons of Israel, “When a man or woman does anything that misses the mark,
[acting] the way mankind acts unfaithfully by showing unfaithfulness
against YHVH (read Adonai), and that person is guilty,
Then the brightness of the king’s face changed, his thoughts terrified him so that the joints of his hips were loosened, and his knees knocked this one against that one.
For there are three which bear witness:
then he shall confess the way in which he missed the mark by his actions and he shall make restitution in full for his wrongdoing
and add a fifth to it and give it to him, to the one he has wronged.
In the multitude of dreams
there is vapor,
and also in many words,
but rather
you should fear
ELOHIM.
The LAMB
stepped forward
and took
the scroll
from
the right hand of the one sitting on the throne.
The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city.
They beat me, they bruised me;
they took away my wrap,
those watchmen
of the walls!
And when He had taken the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-our elders
fell down
before the LAMB; each of them had a harp and golden bowls
full of incenses,
which are the prayers required for a pure life.
Daughters of JERUSALEM, I have made you swear —
if you find my Love, what will you tell him?
Tell him I am faint with love.
If you see the oppression of the poor and the violent perversion of justice and
righteousness in every judge’s jurisdiction, do not be in consternation at the matter, for a high [official]
watches
over a high [official], and higher officials are over them.
The Spirit and the water and the blood – and these three are one and the same.
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of THEOS is greater because
this is the testimony of THEOS, that He has testified concerning His Son.
Moreover,
the profit of the land is for all,
even the king is served
from the fields.
And they were singing a new song which says, “You are worthy to take the scroll
and open its seals
because you were slain,
and by your blood you purchased for GOD
men from
every tribe, language, people and nation
How is your love better than others,
most beautiful of women?
How is your love better than others,
that you made us swear this?
(To the brilliant overseer. A Psalm associated with DAVID, when NATHAN the prophet, went to him after he had gone in to BATHSHEBA.)
Be merciful to me, ELOHIM, according to your merciful kindness;
according to the multitude of your compassions of the womb,
wipe out my rebellious sin.
For you do not desire sacrifice or I would give; you are not pleased by a burnt offering.
The sacrifices of ELOHIM are a broken heart; a broken and crushed heart, O ELOHIM, You will not consider worthless.
In your accepting favor, do good to ZION; build up the walls of JERUSALEM.
Then you will be pleased with righteous sacrifices, with offerings that are completely burned up. Then they will sacrifice bulls on your altar.
But He was wounded for our rebellious acts, He was broken for our depravity, the discipline for our peace was placed on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
My word that goes out from my mouth shall be thus, it shall not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and it will succeed [in that] for which I sent it.
If
you turn your foot from ______
the Sabbath and from doing your own pleasure on my holy day, and if you call the Sabbath a delight and the holy day of YHVH (read Adonai) honorable, and if you honor Him by not doing your own ways nor finding your own pleasures nor speaking [inappropriate] words,
then you will delight yourself in YHVH (read Adonai),
and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land
and feed you with the inheritance of your father Jacob,
for the mouth of YHVH (read Adonai) has spoken.
Beware to not carry out
your righteousness before men in order to be seen by them, otherwise you will have no reward in the presence
of your Father who is in the heavens.
And it came about that when the adam
began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, (See comment below.)
Any of you who has a matter
against another, dare he
go to law
before the unrighteous and not before the saints?
Then I watched as the
LAMB opened the first
of the seven seals,
and I heard one of the
four living beings
saying with a voice
like thunder,
“Watch out!”
Where has the love of your life
gone,
most beautiful of women?
Which way did he turn, that we may look for him with you?
There is an evil I have observed under the sun, and it is a big one
for mankind,
Who is she that appears
like the dawn,
fair
as the moon,
bright
as the sun,
as awe-inspiring as a bannered host?
And they were crying in a loud voice, saying, “Oh LORD, holy and true, how long will you not avenge our blood, and judge those
dwelling upon the earth?”
What one is has already been named, and it is known that he is a man,
and he cannot act as judge
against one
who is stronger than he.
Since there are many business affairs
that multiply vapor, how is man better off?
I went down to the grove of nut trees
to see the green shoots in
the valley, to see if the vines had budded
or if the pomegranates were in bloom.
Then white robes were given to each of them, and they were told to rest a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, and their brothers who were about to be killed as they had been, would be reached.
Though I was not aware of it, my strong inner desires placed me
among the royal chariots
of my people.
I was watching when he opened the sixth seal.
There was
a great earthquake;
the sun was turned black
like sackcloth
made of goat’s hair,
and the entire moon
was red like blood,
For who knows what is good for man in life all the days of his vapor-like life in which he works
like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will happen after him
under the sun?
Therefore, Do not let sin rule in your mortal body so that you obey its desires,
Neither yield the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but yield yourselves to God as those who are living from among the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
O SHULAMMITE, Turn back, Turn back.
Turn back, turn back,
that I may gaze on you!
What do you see in the SHULAMMITE?
The dance
of MAHANAIM.
and the stars of the heavens
fell to the earth, just as, when shaken by a great wind,
the fig tree casts off its unripe figs.
The sky
was swept away
like a scroll being rolled up,
and every mountain was removed
and every island was moved from its place.
For sin will not rule over you.
Make to you a container
of covering
lumber;
make nests in the container and cover
it inside and out with that which covers. (See comments below.)
The kings of the earth, the chieftains, the commanders, the rich, the powerful, as well as every slave and every free man, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains,
and they continually say
to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us
from the one sitting on the throne and from His face,
and from
the wrath of the LAMB,
Whenever you fast, do not be gloomy like the hypocrites, they make their faces become unsightly
so that they will appear to men as fasting. Let me tell you, they have their reward.
Don’t you know that you are slaves to the one you obey, e.i. the one you yield yourselves to as obedient slaves, whether that be to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
for the great day of His wrath has come and who can stand?”
Having been set free from sin, you have become slaves to righteousness.
Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, who you have from THEOS?
Also, you are not your own,
Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy of smallest cases?
(See my comments after verse 3.)
the SONS OF ELOHIM saw
the daughters of men
that they were desirable
and they took wives for themselves from all whomever they chose. (See comment below.)
I watched intently
and behold,
a horse,
a white horse,
its rider held a bow,
and wore a crown;
he went forth as a conqueror in order to conquer [again].
The love of my life has gone down
to his
enclosed garden,
to his spice-filled
terraces,
to browse in the gardens
and to gather lilies.
a man to whom ELOHIM has given much money,
many possessions,
and honor so that he lacks nothing for himself of all that he desires, and yet ELOHIM has not granted him the power to eat of it but a stranger consumes it. This is a vapor,
an evil calamity.
Blessed
are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
you were purchased for a price, therefore, glorify THEOS in your body, and in your spirit, which belong to THEOS.
Blessed are those who hunger now, for you will be completely satisfied.
Blessed are those who right now are mourning out loud, for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when men shall hate you, when they exclude you, and defame you, and banish your name as evil on account of the Son of Man,
Now however, having been set free from sin, and having become slaves to THEOS, you hold your fruit unto holiness, and the end
is eternal life.
Rejoice in that day, leap, skip and bound for joy, because, look, your reward is great in heaven. In these same ways the forefathers
treated the prophets.
But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort.
For this I say to you, Do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body than clothing?
Woe to you who are now filled up, for you will be famished.
Woe to those who are laughing now, for you will wail and weep.
Woe to you when all men speak well of you; these are the ways the forefathers likewise treated the false prophets.
And YHVH
(read Adonai) said, “My Spirit
shall not govern
man forever, for indeed he is flesh,
yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty.”
Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the ordinary things of this life? (See comments below.)
If a man fathers one hundred
and lives many years so that the days of his years be great, but if his soul is not satisfied with goodness, also if he has no burial,
to which I say that
a still-born child is better off than he,
I am a source of refreshing encouragement for my Love, and my Love is the same to me;
he browses among the lilies.
When the LAMB
opened the second seal
I heard the second [of the four] living beings
say,
“Watch out!”
You are as beautiful
as TIRZAH,
my Love,
as lovely as JERUSALEM,
as awesome
as a host of bannered
troops.
Another
horse
went forth; this one
was red like fire
and
the one sitting on it
was granted the power to take peace from the earth, so that people would slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
for it comes in a vapor,
it departs in darkness
and
with darkness
its name is covered.
Therefore, if you were to [set up] tribunals [to judge] the things of this life, [would] you set up those who are nothing
in the assembly?
Listen,
ISRAEL, YHVH (read Adonai) [is] our ELOHIM,
YHVH (read Adonai) alone,
The NEPHILIM were on the earth in those days
(and also after that),
when the SONS OF ELOHIM
went in to the daughters of men and they bore them children. Those were the mighty men of old,
the men of renown. (See comments below.)
I am the bread of life.
Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died.
To your shame I say [this] – In the same way, is there not no one among you, a wise [one], who is capable to decide among between the brother of him? (See comment below.)
and you shall love
YHVH (read Adonai) your ELOHIM
with all your inner being,
with all your God-breathed soul,
and with all your muchness.
Though it has not seen the sun
or learned anything,
it has more rest
than this man.
Turn your eyes from me;
they overwhelm me.
Your hair is like
a flock of goats
descending from Mount GILEAD.
When the LAMB
opened the third seal
I heard the third [of the four] living beings say,
“Trouble’s comin’!”
I paid attention and behold,
there was a horse, a black horse.
The one sitting on it had a pair of scales
in his hand.
This is the bread which comes down from heaven so that anyone may eat of it and not die.
I myself am the living bread which has come down from heaven, if anyone eats this bread he will live to the age,
and the bread that I give for the life of the world is my flesh.
The Jews were arguing with one another saying, How is this man able to give us his flesh to eat?
Therefore Jesus said to them, I say to you, Amen, amen,
If you have not eaten the flesh of the Son of Man, and have not drunk his blood,
you do not possess life inside you.
The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood possess life like an age, and I will raise him up on the last day,
For my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.
The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides
in me and I in him.
Just as the Living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
This is the bread that has come down from heaven; it is not like what the fathers ate and then died. The one who eats this bread will live to the age.
But you, when you pray, enter
into your room and, having shut the door, pray to your Father, to the one who is hidden from sight, and your Father, who sees in the places that are hidden from sight, will reward you.
And these words
I am commanding you today shall be upon
your inner being,
Your teeth are like a flock of sheep
coming up from the washing place. Each of them bears twin,
not one of them is barren.
Then I heard what sounded like a voice in the midst of the four living beings saying, “One person’s daily allowance of wheat for one day’s wages,
and three daily rations of barley for one day’s wages,
but the oil and the wine should not be damaged.”
And even if he lives a thousand years twice over, but has not seen enjoyment, do not all go to one place?
All of a man’s troublesome toil is for his mouth,
yet his appetite
is not satisfied.
Your temples behind your veil
are like a piece of pomegranate.
When the LAMB
opened the fourth seal,
I heard the fourth [of the four] living beings say, “Here it comes!”
but they, like Adam, went beyond
the covenant.
and you shall use them to prick
those who will build [your family line],
and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you go along the way, when you lie down and when you rise up,
and you shall tie them on your hand
as a sign and pledge [of something],
and they shall be like a band
in the interval of space between your eyes [and your brain-case].
There may be sixty queens, eighty concubines,
and young women
beyond number,
I paid careful attention and behold,
another horse
that went forth;
this one was a pale, yellowish green;
The one sitting on it had the name Death,
and HADES followed close behind him.
Authority over one quarter of the earth
was given to the horse
and the rider
to kill by the sword,
famine, death,
and by the wild animals
of the earth.
For what more has the wise man than the fool? What does the poor man
have who knows how to walk among the living?
The sight of the eyes is better than the wandering of desire.
This also is vapor-like,
but there is only one,
my dove, my undefiled one,
she is unique, she was
the only daughter of her mother,
she was special
to the one who bore her.
The daughters
saw her and called her blessed; the queens and concubines praised her.
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw
under the altar,
the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of GOD
and because of the testimony which they upheld.
Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Now concerning those things that you wrote me [about], it is good for a man not to take a wife.
1 How beautiful your sandaled
feet,
O prince’s
daughter!
The curves
of your thighs
are like jewels, the work of the hands of a master craftsman.
After this I saw four
angels standing at
the four corners of the earth,
holding back the four winds
of the earth, so that
no wind would blow
on the earth, or
on the sea
or on any tree.
A name
is better than scented oil,
and the day of death than the day of birth.
Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” for you do not inquire concerning this wisely.
They shouted at full volume, “Salvation
belongs to our GOD
who sits on the throne,
and to the LAMB.”
I belong to my Love, and his desire is for me.
Now to those who are married, I give this charge (not I but the LORD):
A wife is not to be separated from her husband.
(however, if she indeed is separated, she should stay unmarried, or be reconciled
to the husband), and the husband should not send away
a wife.
If in fact, completeness could come about through the Levitical priesthood (for upon it the people were furnished with laws), what need is there still for another priest to arise, one that is designated [as priest] according to the rank of MELCHIZEDEK, not according to the rank of AARON?
Now YHVH tells you, “YHVH will make you a house.
In the six hundredth year of the life of NOAH, in the second month, on the seven-and-tenth day of the month, on this day, all the spring-like sources
of the great abyss
burst open, and the window lattices
of the heavens were opened. (See comment below.)
All the angels
stood in a circle
around the throne,
and around the elders,
and around the four living beings, and they
fell upon their faces
before the throne
and they worshipped
GOD,
Come, my Love, let us go to the open fields, let us spend the night in the villages.
Wisdom is better
beside
an inheritance, and advantageous to those who see the sun,
for wisdom is a shade, money is a shade, but the advantage of the knowledge of wisdom is that it preserves
the life of those who own it.
saying, “Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength belong to our GOD,
through the ages of the ages, amen.”
Let’s make an early start and go to the vineyards, let’s see if the vines have budded, if their grape blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom—there I will give you my Love.
And it came about that the rain [was] upon the earth forty days and forty nights. (See comment below.)
Now to the others I say, (I, not the Lord): If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she happily agrees
to [continue] making a home with him,
he should not send her away.
When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your seed after you who will come from your body, and I will firmly establish his kingdom,
For a change of law takes place out of necessity upon the changing of the priesthood.
For the one of whom these things are spoken, had his share in another tribe, from which no one has attended
to the altar.
Enter through the narrow gate.
For the gate [into destruction] is wide
and the road leading up to destruction
is broad, and there are many who enter through it.
Then that which is good has become death? May it never be! But sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin, is bringing about death through that which is good for me so that through the commandment, sin might become utterly sinful.
And if any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he happily agrees to [continue] making a home with her, she should not leave him
One of the elders
said to me,
“These who have white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?”
The mandrakes bestow
on us the blessing of their fragrance, and at our door are all manner of precious things,
both new and old, that I have stored up
for you, my Love.
Consider the work of God, for who can make straight what He has made crooked?
In the day of prosperity,
rejoice;
but in the day of adversity consider this: surely ELOHIM has made the one as well as the other so that man cannot find out anything about what comes later.
I said to him, “My Lord, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who have emerged
from great tribulation, they have washed their robes and made them white through the blood shed by the LAMB.
For the unbelieving husband is made holy by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy by the husband; otherwise your children are unclean; but now they are holy.
For it is evident before [all] that our Lord rose up from JUDAH, toward which tribe, MOSES said nothing about priests,
For the gate leading to life is small and the road leading to life is narrow, and those that find it are few.
However, if the unbeliever separates himself, let him separate himself; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such. However, THEOS has called you to peace.
And it is even more superabundantly evident before [all] if another priest arises according to the likeness of MELCHIZEDEK,
Because of this they are
before the throne of GOD
and they
serve him day and night in His temple; and the one sitting on the throne will
spread his tabernacle over them.”
In my vapor-like
days I have seen everything: I have seen a righteous man who is put to death
in his righteousness, and a wicked man whose life is prolonged in his wickedness.
Do not be overly righteous, nor be overly wise. Why be deserted because people are appalled at you?
They will not hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not fall upon them,
nor any scorching heat,
who has not arisen
according a law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an indestructible life.
For how do you know, oh wife, if you will save the husband? Or how do you know, oh husband, if you will save the wife?
And your house will be secured and your kingdom for ever before you, and your throne shall be firmly established for ever.”’
Only to each as THE LORD has divided, to each as THEOS has called, so let him walk. And this I charge in all the churches.
And it came about that the flowing waters
[were on] the earth forty days and the waters grew great and lifted up the vessel
and it rose high above the earth. (See comments below.)
Only to each as THE LORD has divided, to each as THEOS has called, so let him walk. And this I charge in all the churches.
For it is testified that: “You [are] a priest to the age, according to MELCHIZEDEC.”
for the Lamb, who is
in the center of the throne,
will shepherd them,
and he will lead them
to springs of living waters,
and GOD
will remove every tear
from their eyes.”
Do not be overly wicked, nor be foolish. Why should you die before your time?
It is good that you take hold of this one, and also to not remove your hand from the other one, for he who fears God will go forth with them all.
For indeed there is a setting aside of the preceding commandment on account of its weakness and uselessness.
And the waters were strong
and increased greatly on the earth and the vessel came and went
on the face of the waters.
And the waters strengthened [themselves] exceedingly exceedingly
on the earth and covered all the proud and exalted hills
which [are] under all the heavens.
For the law brought nothing to completion,
but the powerful ushering in
of a better hope by which we draw near to THEOS, [does].
Wisdom strengthens the wise more than ten powerful
men of a city.
It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting
for that is the end of all men, and the living will take it to heart.
Then I saw another angel coming from the rising of the sun;
he had the seal of
THE LIVING GOD;
he called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the earth and the sea,
Your navel
is a rounded goblet
that never lacks mixed wine.
Your belly
is a mound of wheat
fenced in by lilies.
Then the king said to NATHAN
the prophet, “I ask you to please see this, I live in a house of cedar, but the ark of ELOHIM dwells inside curtains.”
Of each clean animal,
you shall take seven, seven,
a man and his woman,
and of the animals that are not clean, two, a man and his woman.
However, due to the surrendering of sexual purity,
let each man
have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
To the degree that [this] was not done without an oath – those certainly have become priests without an oath –
Five [and] ten cubits upward the waters prevailed and covered the hills.
For there is no just man on earth who does good and does not miss the mark.
Also do not take to heart every word that they say lest you hear your servant cursing you.
He raised up the pillars on the porch of the sanctuary; he raised the pillar on the right side and called its name JAKIN,
and he raised the pillar on the left side and called its name BOAZ.
however, He with an oath through the one saying to Him, “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind, You are a priest to the age,”
To that same degree He has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
For in your heart you also know that you yourself have cursed others.
All this I proved by wisdom. I said, “I will be wise,” but it was far from me.
Now certainly those who have become priests are many on account of being prevented by death [from] continuing.
But on account of the abiding of Him unto the age,
He possesses an unchangeable priesthood,
Brothers,
in that in which each one is called, in that he should remain with God.
And the waters prevailed
on the earth fifty and one hundred days.
Whatever
is, is far off and exceedingly deep. Who can find it?
I applied my heart to know, to explore and to seek out wisdom and the reason for things, and also to know the folly of wickedness, and of foolishness and madness.
Wherefore He is powerfully capable
to save throughout
all time
those who are drawing near to THEOS through Him, [since] at all times He is living for the purpose
to meet and make supplication
[to God] for them.
Therefore, I deem this to already exist
[as something] good
because of the present necessity,
that it is good for a man to be the same.
And I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bonds; he who pleases ELOHIM will escape her,
but the sinner will be trapped by her.
Look! This is what I have found, says the Convener and Speaker of the assembly, [by adding] one [thing] to another
to find out the reason
for things,
Have you become bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed
Have you become loosed from a wife?
Do not seek a wife.
However, if you have married, you did not sin; and if a virgin has married, she did not sin. However, such will have pressure in the flesh.
I am now sparing you.
with my soul still seeking but not [finding],
I found one man among a thousand, but a woman among them all I have not found.
Look! This alone I have found, that God made man upright,
but they have sought many schemes.
Now this I say, brothers, the opportunity has been shortened
so that from now on those who have wives, should be as those having none;
The husband should deliver
what is owed
to the wife, and likewise also, the wife to the husband.
Moreover, of the birds,
of the heavens, seven, seven, a male and a female,
to sustain the life of their seed on the face of the earth.
And you must not make yourself a spouse of them; you must not give your daughter to their son, nor take their daughter for your son,
Then NATHAN said to the king, “Go and do everything that is in your heart, for YHVH is with you.”
Grief is better than laughter, for by sad countenances the heart is made better.
saying, “Do not harm the earth,
or the sea,
or any tree, until we have placed
a seal on the
servants of our GOD,
on their foreheads.”
Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle.
and those in mourning as those who are not mourning, and those who are rejoicing as those who are not rejoicing, and those who buy things as if they do not possess them,
and those who use this world, as those who don’t use it to the full, For the present form of this world is passing away.
But I desire you to be free from cares. The unmarried man cares
for the things of THE LORD, how he might please THE LORD,
however, one who has married cares for the things of the world, how he might please his wife,
and he is divided. And the woman who is unmarried and a virgin, cares for the thing of THE LORD so that she might be holy both in body and in spirit; however, the one who has married cares for the things of the world, how she might please her husband.
I say this for the profit of you yourselves, not to put a restraint upon you, but for what is desirable
does well, and the one who does not give her in marriage will do better.
However, if anyone wonders
if he is acting improperly
toward his virgin [daughter], and if she is past the bloom of youth, and it is to be done this way as payment of a debt
let him do what he wishes, he does not sin. Let them marry.
However, he who stands firm in is heart, not having force [put upon him],
but having authority over his own will, and has judged in his own mind to watch over his own virgin [daughter], he does well.
And so then, the one who gives his own virgin [daughter] in marriage
does well, and the one who does not give her in marriage will do better.
A wife is bound for a period of time that lasts as long as her husband lives; but if the husband should die, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, but only in the LORD.
The wife does not have authority over [her] own body, rather the husband does; and likewise also, the husband does not have authority over [his] own body, but rather the wife does.
for they will cause your sons to turn aside from following me to serve other gods, and the anger of YHVH (read Adonai) will burn against you and He will swiftly annihilate you.
But it so happened that during the night, the word of YHVH came to NATHAN saying:
Then I heard the number
of those who were sealed,
One hundred forty-four thousand,
who were sealed
from
all the tribes of the sons of ISRAEL.
Your neck is like an ivory
tower.
Your eyes are
the pools
of HESHBON
by the gate
of BATH RABBIM.
Your nose
is like
the tower
of LEBANON
looking
toward Damascus.
The heart of the wise
is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of celebration.
However, according to my judgment, she is blessed if she should remain in that manner, and I think I too have the Spirit of GOD.
Do not deprive one another except if as with one voice you agree
for a time, so you can devote yourselves fully to prayer; then be together again the same [as before], so that SATAN may not tempt you due to your lack of self-control.
“Go and tell my servant DAVID, ‘This is what YHVH says: Will you build a house for me to live in?
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to hear the song of fools,

Your head
is over you
just like MOUNT CARMEL.
Your hair is like anything purple;
the king is held captive by its flowing ringlets.
But, being full of the Holy Spirit, [and] having looked intently
into heaven, he saw the glory of GOD
and JESUS standing
at the right
of GOD,
and he said, “Look, I see the heavens have been opened up, and the SON OF MAN
is standing
at the right of GOD.
They compressed
their ears, and having screamed with inarticulate sounds
they rushed desperately upon him with one mind.
And, having thrown him out of the city, they were stoning him.
And the witnesses
laid aside their garments at the feet of a young man named SAUL.
And __ they were stoning STEPHEN, he was speaking out and saying, “LORD JESUS, receive my spirit.”
Now I say this by way of a concession, not by way of a command.
I have not lived in a house from the time I brought the sons of ISRAEL out of EGYPT even to this day, but I have moved about in a tent, in a mobile dwelling.
12,000 from the tribe of ASHER
12,000 from NAPHTALI,

of fools
is like the crackling of thorns under the pot;
this too is like a vapor.
Having fallen on [his] knees, he shouted with intense emotion,
“LORD, do not appoint
to them this sin.” And having said this, he fell asleep.
What, then, shall we say?
Is the Law sin? May it never be! But I would not have known
sin
if not by the law.
Also I would not have understood
covetousness if the law had not said “Do not covet.”
In all the places I have moved about with all the sons of ISRAEL, have I ever spoken a word to one of the scepters
of ISRAEL whom I commanded to shepherd my people, ISRAEL, saying “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’
But I wish all men to be even like myself. However, each one has his own gift from THEOS; indeed one has this [gift] but another has that [gift].
Surely ill-gotten gain

Your stature is likened to that of the palm,
and your breasts
to clusters
of fruit.
It was not that you were more abundant than any other people that YHVH (read Adonai) delighted in you and chose you, for you were
the littlest of all peoples,
but because of the love of YHVH (read Adonai)
for you and in order to keep the oath He swore to your
fathers,
YHVH (read Adonai)
has brought you out with a mighty hand
and ransomed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of king Pharaoh
of EGYPT.

I said, “I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.”
May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine,
the fragrance of your

The last word

Now I say to the unmarried and to the widows, [it is] good for them if they should remain the same as I am.
But sin, having taken occasion by the commandment, produced in me all covetousness.

However, if they have no self-control

Do not let your spirit
be quick to become angry,
for anger rests deep inside
fools.
After these things I looked and behold, a great multitude which no one could count;
they came from every nation, tribe, people and language group,
and they were standing before the throne,
and before the LAMB.
They were dressed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands.
and may your mouth

Then I said, “I am afflicted.
That’s it!
The years

I will call to mind the works of YHVH (read Adonai); surely, it is my earnest purpose to call to mind
Then ELOHIM remembered NOAH and every living thing and all the domesticated animals with him in the ark,
and ELOHIM caused a wind
to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
And SAUL was there, whole-heartedly agreeing
with the destruction of him by execution….
If only you were to me like a brother,
who was nursed at my mother’s breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would
kiss you, and no one would despise me at all.
When He opened the seventh seal
there was silence in heaven
for about half an hour.
Who is like a wise one who knows the interpretation of a thing?
[The] wisdom of a man makes his face shine, and the sternness of his face is changed.
And I saw the wicked buried, those who come and go from the holy place, then they boasted
in the city of what they have done. This too is a vapor.
I am a wall,
and my breasts are like towers.
Thus I have become in his eyes
like one bringing completeness.
10 Then the third angel sounded his trumpet and
a great star,
burning like a torch
fell from heaven
upon a third of
the rivers
and upon a third of
the springs
of waters;
Having straightened up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers?
Has no one condemned you as guilty?
However, if Christ is in you, indeed the body is dead for the sake of sin
but the spirit is alive for the sake of righteousness.
Then she said, “No one, sir.”
Then Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you as guilty. Go, and from now on, don’t sin anymore.”
the name of the star
is WORMWOOD. A third of the waters
became WORMWOOD,
and many men died from
the waters because they had been made bitter.
Because a sentence
is not speedily done
against an evil deed, the heart
of the sons of men is fully in them
to do evil.
SOLOMON had
a vineyard
in BAAL HAMON;
he placed his vineyard in the hands of caretakers.
Each was to bring for its fruit
a thousand pieces of silver.
But my own vineyard
is before me;
the thousand pieces of silver are for you,
O SOLOMON, and two hundred are for those
who tend its fruit.
Then the fourth angel sounded his trumpet
and a third of the sun was struck and also a third of the moon and a third of the stars,
so that a third of them turned to darkness,
so that a third of the daytime had no brightness and likewise a third of the night.
Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and yet his days are prolonged, I know for sure that it will be better for those who fear ELOHIM, for those who are fearful before Him.
So then brothers, we are debtors, but not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
for if you live according to the flesh, you are about to
die; but if you put to death the practices of the body by the Spirit, you will live.
Therefore, if food ensnares
my brother, I will no never eat meat to the age, so that I might not ensnare my brother. (SEe comment below.)
But it will not be good for the wicked, nor will he prolong his days like a shadow
because he does not fear before ELOHIM.
You who dwell in the gardens,
[my] friends
are listening for your voice;
let me hear your voice!
Then I saw and heard a
vulture
flying
at the highest point in the sky,
saying in a
loud voice, “Woe, Woe,
Woe,
to those who dwell on the
earth because of the
remaining trumpet blasts
of the three
angels
who are about to blow their trumpets.”
There is a vapor-like thing that happens on the earth: there are just [men] who are struck
according to deeds of the wicked, and again there are wicked [men] who have come to them
according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is like a vapor.
Hurry,
my Love,
and be like a gazelle
or like a young stag
on the spice-laden
mountains.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of THEOS, these are sons of THEOS.
Then he killed it (the bull). Then MOSHEH
took the blood and with his finger put [some] on the horns of the altar all around and purified the altar; then he poured out the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it to make atonement for it.
So I praise joy because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat and drink and rejoice, for this will join him in his work all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.
When I set my inner being to know wisdom and to see the laborious effort that is done on earth –
his eyes not seeing sleep day or night,
then I saw all the work God has done.
No man can find out the work that is done under the sun, for though a man labors to discover it, yet he cannot find it, moreover, though a wise man attempts to know it, he is unable to find it.
I say, Keep the command of the king for the sake of your oath
to ELOHIM.
I would lead you and bring you to my mother’s house
— the one who has taught me.
I would give you spiced wine to drink,
the nectar of my pomegranates.
Then I saw the seven
angels who stand before GOD;
they were given
seven trumpets.
And the spring-like sources
of the abyss
and the window lattices
of the heavens were shut up, and the rain from the heavens was restrained.
Then at dawn he came again to the temple, and all the people were coming to Him. And having sat down
he was teaching them,
For the law of the Spirit of life in CHRIST JESUS has set you free from the law of sin and death.
When there were no depths, I (wisdom) was brought forth,
even when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled into place, before the hills were brought forth, I was brought forth,
while as of yet, the earth was not made nor the fields or the first of the dust of the earth,
Now likewise the Spirit also comes along side us and takes hold with us of
our weakness for we do not know what we should pray for properly, but the Spirit Himself intercedes
with groanings
without words.
When He (God) prepared the heavens, I was there;
when He marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
I DANIEL, was exhausted
I felt sick for days, and then I arose and made happen the king’s business, but I was appalled by the vision and there was no one who could cause [me] to understand it.
when He firmly established
the clouds above, and when He firmly fixed in place
the foundations of the deep,
when He set forth a prescribed limit for the sea that its waters should not overstep His command, when He decreed the foundations of the earth.
THEOS found sin in the flesh to be guilty and sentenced it to punishment, having sent His own Son because of sin, and in a way that resembled sinful flesh,
because the Law, being totally incapable
of accomplishing it, was weak on account of the flesh,
now the Scribes and Pharisees bring a woman who was caught in adultery, and having made her stand in the middle,
Then the waters turned back from the earth, and the waters continually turned back
and were lacking
at the end of fifty and one hundred days. (See comments below.)
His left arm is
under
my head
and his right arm
embraces me.
Then another angel came
and stood at the altar
with a golden censer for incense. He was given much incense so he could offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden
altar before the throne.
Do not be hasty to leave his presence; do not remain standing if the matter is unpleasant,
for he does whatever pleases him.
Then I was at His side as a skilled craftsman;
I was His delight day by day, and I was constantly rejoicing before Him.
I was rejoicing in the habitable parts of the earth,
and my delights
were with the sons of men.
And in the seventh month, on the seven and tenth day of the month, the ark rested
on the mountains of ARARAT. (See comment below.)
they say to Him, “Teacher
this woman was caught in the very act of committing the crime
of adultery.
so that the righteousness of the Law could be fulfilled in those of us who walk according to the Spirit, not according to the flesh.
Therefore,
concerning the food of the image-sacrifices, we know that an idol [is] nothing in this world and that [there is] no THEOS, if not one. (See comment below.)
The king’s word is authority, and who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
And the smoke of the incense, along with the prayers of the saints, went up before GOD
from the hand of the angel.
He has not stood in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks lies, he speaks from his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.
“Now in the Law, Moses commanded that such [women] be stoned. You therefore, what do you say?”
For those that live according to the flesh, mind
the things of the flesh; but those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
And the waters became continually lacking until the heads of the mountains were seen on the tenth month, the first [day] in the tenth. (See comment below.)
for even if it be that there are ____ called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many gods and many lords (see comment below),
Then the angel took the censer [for burning incense] and filled it with fire
from the altar [of incense]
and cast it
onto the earth. As a result
there were thunders and rumblings and flashes of lightning
as well as an earthquake.
He who keeps his commands will experience no unpleasant thing; the heart of a wise man discerns both time and procedure.
Who is this coming up from the desert,
leaning on her beloved?
Who is this coming up from the desert, leaning on her beloved?
Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother brought you forth while writhing in pain,
There, she who bore you, brought you forth while writhing in pain.
Place me like a seal
over your heart, like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death;
its zeal is as fierce as the grave;
the lightning thereof is lightning bolts of pure fire,
that burn with a mighty flame.
Then the seven angels
with the seven trumpets
prepared to sound them.
When the unpleasantness of a man greatly abounds upon him, it is because of this: for every matter there is a time and a sentence,
yet to us [there is] one THEOS, the Father, out of whom [are] all things, and we [exist] unto Him, and [there is] one Lord, JESUS CHRIST, by whom [are] all things, and we [exist] through Him. (See comment below.)
For the mind
of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit, life and peace,
Now [by] saying this they were testing Him in order that they might have [grounds] to accuse Him. But bending over, Jesus began writing with His finger on the ground.
However, since they persisted in asking Him, after He unbent Himself,
He said to them, “The one among you who is without fault, let him be the first to cast a stone at her.”
because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward THEOS, for it is not subject to the Law of THEOS nor can it be.
But not all [are] in this knowledge. In contrast, some at this time by habit [see] anything sacrificed to an idol as of that idol, and their weak conscience is made dirty. (See comment below.)
For he does not know
what will happen, so who can tell him what will occur?
Many waters
cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
If someone were to offer all the possessions of his house for love, the offer would be utterly despised.
7 The first angel sounded his trumpet
and
hail
along with
fire mixed with blood,
were hurled
upon the earth,
so that
of the earth,
a third of it
was burned up;
of the trees
one third were
burned up,
and of the green grass,
all of it was burned up.
Then the second angel sounded his trumpet
and a great mountain,
burning with fire,
was cast
into the sea,
and a third of
the sea
turned to blood,
No one has power over the wind to restrain the wind
and no one has power over the day of death.
There is no discharge from the war, and evil will not deliver those who are given to it.
Look at
little sister;
She has no breasts yet.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
And those who live in the flesh are not able to please THEOS.
Then, bending down again, He continued writing on the ground.
Upon hearing [these words], and because their consciences were being rebuked, they began to leave one by one beginning from the older ones to the last [ones], and He was left alone and the woman who was in the middle.
But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you; if however, anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
If she is a wall, we will build a fortress of silver on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose
her with glistening planks
of cedar.
a third of the creatures living in the sea died, and
a third of the ships
were destroyed.
I have seen all this and devoted
my inner being to every deed that is done under the sun. There is a time when a man has mastery
over another man
to his own hurt.
A Psalm of ASAPH.
ELOHIM stands in the assembly of EL,
He judges in the midst of the ELOHIM.
(See comment below.)
Until when will you judge unjustly, and carry the wicked? (Selah)
Judge
the low and the orphan and do justice for the suppressed and those in want;
Deliver those who are low and in want, snatch [them] from the hand of the wicked;
They do not know; and they do not distinguish; they walk in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are removed.
I said, “You are ELOHIM; you are all children of ELYON.”
I said, “You are Elohim; you are children of Elyon.”
But in fact,
like men you shall die; and like every leader
you will fall.
Rise up, [Oh] ELOHIM, judge the earth, for you possess all nations. (See comments below.)
The heavens will throw your marvels, YHVH, and more than that, your steadfastness
in the assembly of the holy ones.
For who in the heavens can be placed beside YHVH? And who can be likened to YHVH among the sons of ELIM?
For who in the heavens can be placed beside YHVH? And who can be likened to YHVH among the sons of ELIM
EL is to be trembled at
in the intimate circle of the holy ones,
and greatly feared by all in the circuit.
YHVH, ELOHE
OF THE ARMIES,
who is like you? Mighty YH,
your steadfastness surrounds you like a circuit.
(See comment below.)
For I gave my inner being to all this so I could explain it clearly: that the works of the righteous and the wise are in the hands of ELOHIM.
Man does not know either love or hatred,
all are before his face.
The fifth angel
sounded his trumpet
and I saw a star
having fallen from heaven to the earth;
it was given the key of
the pit of the abyss.
They have tails and stingers like scorpions,
and in their tails they had the power to inflict injury on men for five months.
Anything your hand finds to do,
do it with strength, for there is no pursuit, or reckoning, or knowledge or wisdom in the underworld where you are going.
I returned and I saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the discerning, nor favor to the skillful, but timing and circumstances
are encountered by everyone.
They have over them a king who is the angel of the abyss, his name in Hebrew is ABADDON,
and in Greek is APOLLYON.
They have over them a king who is the angel of the abyss, his name in Hebrew is ABADDON,
and in Greek is APOLLYON.
When, by means of the greater and more perfect Tabernacle which is
not made by hand, that is, not part of this creation, and having appeared publicly as High Priest of the good things that have been brought into existence,
Christ entered
once for all into the holy places and thus obtained eternal redemption, He did not do so by means of
the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood.
The first “woe” has departed, behold, there are still two “woes” coming after this.
For also man does not know his time. As fish are caught in a net, and as birds are caught in snares that injure
them, so the sons of men are baited and snared
suddenly falls upon them.
I have also seen under the sun, this wisdom and to me it [seemed] important.
The sixth angel
sounded his trumpet and
I heard a voice
coming from
the four horns
of the golden
altar
which
is before GOD;
I will place
my bow
with the cloud
and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
For if the blood of goats and of bulls and the ashes of a heifer that are sprinkled on those who have become unclean sanctifies them for the purification of the flesh
how much more the blood of CHRIST, who through the eternal Spirit, offered himself to THEOS without blemish, will purify our moral and spiritual consciousness from dead works in order to serve the living THEOS.
And it shall be that, when I make a cloud appear over the earth … then the bow shall be seen with the cloud.
the voice
was saying to the sixth angel, the one with the trumpet, “Release the
angels,
the four
of them,
who were bound
at the great river Euphrates.”
There was a small city with few men in it; a great king came against it and besieged it, and built great siege-works around it.
There was found in it a poor, wise man and by his wisdom he helped the city escape,
yet no one remembered that poor man.
Then the angels,
the four of them,
were released, having been prepared for
this hour, and day and month and year,
in order to kill a third
of mankind.
On account of this He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, now that death has taken place for the ransom of the sins under the
first covenant, those that have been called might receive the promise, the eternal inheritance.
For where there is a will,
it is necessary to bring forth
the death of the one who arranged
it.
And the number of the armies of horsemen
was twice ten thousand and ten thousand; I heard their number.
So I said, Wisdom is better than strength. Yet the wisdom of the poor man is held in contempt and his words are not heard.
The quiet words
of the wise should be heard [rather] than the shouting of a ruler of fools.
In my vision this is how I saw the horses
and their riders:
They had breastplates
that were fiery red,
like hyacinth,
and sulfur;
the heads
of the horses were like the heads
of lions, and out of
their mouths came
fire and smoke
and brimstone.
For a will is made firm after death, since it is not strong at the time when the one who arranged it is living,
From there, not even the first was inaugurated apart from blood.
By these three plagues, by the fire, the smoke
and the brimstone that came out of their mouths,
a third
of mankind was killed.
Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
Indeed the powers of the horses are in their mouths,
and in their tails;
indeed, their tails
are like serpents
having heads
with which they cause harm.
He opened
the pit of the abyss
and smoke
came out,
like
the smoke of a great furnace;
the sun and the sky were darkened
by the smoke
from the pit.
All things [come] alike to all; one event
happens to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good [and to the bad],
to the clean and to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner, he who takes an oath [easily] as he who takes an oath with much fear.
While I was speaking and intervening and throwing my sin
and the sin of my people ISRAEL, and falling down
[to present]
my supplication before YHVH my ELOHIM for the holy hill
of my ELOHIM,
The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of works of their hands, so as to no longer worship the demons and the idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood, which are not able to see, hear or walk,
The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of works of their hands, so as to no longer worship the demons and the idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood, which are not able to see, hear or walk,
and they did not repent of their murders, sorceries, sexual immoralities or thefts.
while I was yet speaking in prayer, GABRIEL,
the man whom I had seen in the previous vision, touched me at the time of the evening sacrifice, while I was extremely weary.
He spoke with me and caused me to understand, and said, DANIEL, I have now come out to give you discernment and understanding.
and they did not repent of their murders, sorceries,
sexual immoralities or thefts.
From the beginning of your supplication, the word
went out and I have come to tell it to you,
for you are desirable [to God]. Therefore, understand the word [that was spoken], and perceive the vision:
It was necessary, then, for the copies of heavenly things to be purified with these, however, the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Seventy sets of seven
are decreed on your people and your holy city,
to stop
rebellious sin, to seal up
guilt for sins
to make atonement for depravity, to
usher in righteousness
forever, to seal up visions and prophecy,
and to anoint the most holy of holiest.
Therefore, know and understand that from the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, till the Messiah, the Prince [comes],
[there will be] seven sets of seven.
[There will be] 62 sets of seven,
and then the street and a trench
will be built again
during times of trouble.
After the 62 sets of seven,
the Messiah will be
cut off, and no [benefit] to him,
and the people of a prince that is to come
will destroy the city and the sanctuary,
and the end shall come with a flood, (also, to the end of the war,
desolations are decreed).
He will ratify a covenant
with many for one set of seven, and in the middle of the seven
he will cause sacrifice and offering to cease
and above the extremity of abominations, the one who causes desolation [will come]
until the complete destruction that has been determined is poured out on the one who desolates.
And from the smoke
locusts
came
onto the earth.
They were given
power like that of the scorpions
of the earth.
This is a calamity that is in everything that is done under the sun: This one fate happens to all. Moreover, the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that [they go] to the dead.
“Now behind the second veil was a habitation which is called ‘the holy of holies’,
And I interceded to YHVH my ELOHIM, and threw,
and said …
containing the ark of the covenant and the golden altar of incense . . .
But [for] whoever is joined to all the living there is hope, for a live dog is better than a dead lion.
The locusts
were told they could not harm
the grass of the earth, any green thing or any tree,
but only the men
who do not have
the seal of GOD on their foreheads.
They were not granted the power to kill anyone, but only to torment them for five months.
The torment they caused was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no more reward, their memory is forgotten.
Also their love and hatred and their zeal have vanished and they will never again forever have a share
in that which is done under the sun.
In those days, men will seek death but not find it; they will long to die but death will elude them.
The appearance of those locusts was as follows: They looked like
horses prepared for battle,
with golden crowns on their heads,
and they had the faces of men
Go! Eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for ELOHIM has already found pleasure in your work.
May your garments always be white, and may your head never lack oil.
They had long hair like that of a woman
and teeth like a lion’s.
Thus the Holy Spirit was making clear that the path into the holy places
was not yet made clear
while the first tent was still standing,
which is a parable for the time at hand, in which both gifts and sacrifices being offered are
not able to make the worshipper fully complete
in regard to conscience.
Their breastplates were like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of many horse-drawn chariots charging into battle.
Look with pleasure
as you live with the wife whom you love all the days of your vapor-like
life which He has given you under the sun – all your vapor-like days, for this is your portion
in life and in the labor in which you suffer
under the sun.
