Calming the Perfect Storm

Have you ever noticed the host of heaven and earth of god on the seventh day is Lamech and Noah.
Have you ever noticed Noah is begat on the eight day.
Don’t the so-called Christians have the son of god, Noah.
Have you ever noticed that Japheth, the son of man, is the eight begat and the gentiles call the eight day the lord’s day.
Is this not the father, the son, the holy ghost
Lamech, Noah, Japheth.
Does not Japheth have seven sons.
What are the elements of the so-called Christian churches?

Thus THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM.
And ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

NOAH

I said in mine heart concerning the estate of THE SONS OF MAN, that God might manifest them, and THAT THEY MIGHT SEE THAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE BEASTS.
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and THE SPIRIT OF THE BEAST THAT GOETH DOWNWARD TO THE EARTH?
Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; FOR THAT IS HIS PORTION: FOR WHO SHALL BRING HIM TO SEE WHAT SHALL BE AFTER HIM?

THE SONS OF MAN
THAT THEY MIGHT SEE THAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE BEASTS
THE SPIRIT OF THE BEAST THAT GOETH DOWNWARD TO THE EARTH?
FOR THAT IS HIS PORTION: FOR WHO SHALL BRING HIM TO SEE WHAT SHALL BE AFTER HIM?

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall THE SON OF MAN BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH.

Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, THAT ONE DAY IS WITH THE LORD AS A THOUSAND YEARS, AND A THOUSAND YEARS AS ONE DAY.
THE LORD IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS PROMISE, as some men count slackness; BUT IS LONGSUFFERING TO US-ward, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH but that all should come to repentance.
BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and THE ELEMENTS SHALL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT, THE EARTH ALSO AND THE WORKS THAT ARE THEREIN SHALL BE BURNED UP.

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Even so we, when we were children, were IN BONDAGE UNDER THE ELEMENTS OF THE WORLD:

IN BONDAGE UNDER THE ELEMENTS OF THE WORLD

THE SON OF MAN IS LORD EVEN OF THE SABBATH DAY
BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
THE ELEMENTS SHALL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT
THE EARTH ALSO AND THE WORKS THAT ARE THEREIN SHALL BE BURNED UP

The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
And CAIN went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare ENOCH: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
And unto Enoch was born IRAD: and Irad begat MEHUJAEL: and Mehujael begat METHUSAEL: and Methusael begat LAMECH.
And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
And he called his name NOAH, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.
And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat SHEM, HAM, and JAPHETH.
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
AND HE SAID, CURSED BE CANAAN; A SERVANT OF SERVANTS SHALL HE BE UNTO HIS BRETHREN.
And he said, BLESSED BE THE LORD GOD OF SHEM; AND CANAAN SHALL BE HIS SERVANT.
GOD SHALL ENLARGE JAPHETH, AND HE SHALL DWELL IN THE TENTS OF SHEM; AND CANAAN SHALL BE HIS SERVANT.

BLESSED BE THE LORD GOD OF SHEM; AND CANAAN SHALL BE HIS SERVANT.

For THE SON OF MAN IS LORD EVEN OF THE SABBATH DAY.
But that ye may know that THE SON OF MAN HATH POWER ON EARTH to forgive sins
THE SON OF MAN CAME EATING AND DRINKING, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, A FRIEND OF PUBLICANS AND SINNERS. But wisdom is justified of her children.
VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE BE SOME STANDING HERE, WHICH SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, TILL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN HIS KINGDOM.
For AS JONAS WAS A SIGN UNTO THE NINEVITES, SO SHALL ALSO THE SON OF MAN BE TO THIS GENERATION.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
But THE SAME DAY THAT LOT WENT OUT OF SODOM IT RAINED FIRE AND BRIMSTONE FROM HEAVEN, AND DESTROYED THEM ALL.
Even THUS SHALL IT BE IN THE DAY WHEN THE SON OF MAN IS REVEALED.
Hereafter shall THE SON OF MAN SIT ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE POWER OF GOD.
Then Jesus said unto them, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YE HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU.
WHAT AND IF YE SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN ASCEND UP WHERE HE WAS BEFORE?

Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
And ENOS lived ninety years, and begat CAINAN:
And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.
And Cainan lived seventy years and begat MAHALALEEL:
And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.
And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat JARED:
And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.
And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat ENOCH:
And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat METHUSELAH:
And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat LAMECH.
And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
And he called his name NOAH, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.
And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Then THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, saying,
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and BEFORE THOU CAMEST FORTH OUT OF THE WOMB I SANCTIFIED THEE, AND I ORDAINED THEE A PROPHET UNTO THE NATIONS.

Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
And HE DID THAT WHICH WAS EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD HIS GOD, AND HUMBLED NOT HIMSELF BEFORE JEREMIAH THE PROPHET SPEAKING FROM THE MOUTH OF THE LORD.
And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the Lord God of Israel.
Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

HUMBLED NOT HIMSELF BEFORE JEREMIAH THE PROPHET SPEAKING FROM THE MOUTH OF THE LORD.

I SAY THEN, HATH GOD CAST AWAY HIS PEOPLE? God forbid. FOR I ALSO AM AN ISRAELITE, OF THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN.
God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I HAVE RESERVED TO MYSELF SEVEN THOUSAND MEN, WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO THE IMAGE OF BAAL.
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
What then? ISRAEL HATH NOT OBTAINED THAT WHICH HE SEEKETH FOR; BUT THE ELECTION HATH OBTAINED IT, and THE REST WERE BLINDED.
According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this day.
And DAVID SAITH, LET THEIR TABLE BE MADE A SNARE, AND A TRAP, AND A STUMBLINGBLOCK, AND A RECOMPENCE UNTO THEM:
LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED, THAT THEY MAY NOT SEE, AND BOW DOWN THEIR BACK ALWAY.
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and THE DIMINISHING OF THEM THE RICHES OF THE GENTILES; how much more their fulness?
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, WHAT SHALL THE RECEIVING OF THEM BE, BUT LIFE FROM THE DEAD?
For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and IF THE ROOT BE HOLY, SO ARE THE BRANCHES.
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
Well; BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF THEY WERE BROKEN OFF, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

CAME THIS WORD UNTO JEREMIAH FROM THE LORD, SAYING
UNTIL THE VERY TIME OF HIS LAND COME

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah CAME THIS WORD UNTO JEREMIAH FROM THE LORD, SAYING,
Thus saith the Lord to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;
I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.
AND NOW HAVE I GIVEN ALL THESE LANDS INTO THE HAND OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING OF BABYLON, MY SERVANT; AND THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD HAVE I GIVEN HIM ALSO TO SERVE HIM.
AND ALL NATIONS SHALL SERVE HIM, AND HIS SON, AND HIS SON'S SON, UNTIL THE VERY TIME OF HIS LAND COME: AND THEN MANY NATIONS AND GREAT KINGS SHALL SERVE THEMSELVES OF HIM.
AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT THE NATION AND KINGDOM WHICH WILL NOT SERVE THE SAME NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING OF BABYLON, AND THAT WILL NOT PUT THEIR NECK UNDER THE YOKE OF THE KING OF BABYLON, THAT NATION WILL I PUNISH, SAITH THE LORD, WITH THE SWORD, AND WITH THE FAMINE, AND WITH THE PESTILENCE, UNTIL I HAVE CONSUMED THEM BY HIS HAND.
Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the Lord; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
But if they be prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
For thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city.
Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
Yea, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the Lord; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.

Has anyone noticed the history of the twin brothers of Rome, Romulus and Remus, then compare it to the twin brothers, Esau and Jacob. Remember Romulus was chosen over Remus by the fowl of heaven and Romulus slew Remus. Did you know Esau slew Jacob. I do not think ye know how to read and understand the Words of David. O COME, LET US WORSHIP AND BOW DOWN: LET US KNEEL BEFORE THE LORD OUR MAKER. HE DID THAT WHICH WAS EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD HIS GOD, AND HUMBLED NOT HIMSELF BEFORE JEREMIAH THE PROPHET SPEAKING FROM THE MOUTH OF THE LORD. IF THE ROOT BE HOLY, SO ARE THE BRANCHES.
THERE SHALL NOT ANY MAN BE ABLE TO STAND BEFORE THEE ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE: AS I WAS WITH MOSES, I WILL NOT FAIL THEE, NOR FORSAKE THEE. Ye know not what ye believe. Ye know not the LORD. Ye know not GOD. Ye hear not the voice of the LORD. Ye know not the Word of GOD. Ye know not your god. Ye are all fools. Ye have your “TENTHS” and the heads of them, Joab, Haman, Jesus. Now the forth tenth must be fulfilled. NOTICE they all involve around a tree. Ye know not to whom ye pray to, OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN

And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
And they said, HATH THE LORD INDEED SPOKEN ONLY BY MOSES? hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it.
Now THE MAN MOSES WAS VERY MEEK, ABOVE ALL THE MEN which WERE UPON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

WHEREFORE HIDEST THOU THY FACE, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
FOR OUR SOUL IS BOWED DOWN to the dust: our belly CLEAVETH UNTO THE EARTH.

THERE SHALL NOT ANY MAN BE ABLE TO STAND BEFORE THEE ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE: AS I WAS WITH MOSES, so I will be with thee: I WILL NOT FAIL THEE, NOR FORSAKE THEE.

And the LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, SEE, I HAVE MADE THEE A GOD TO PHARAOH: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

So now it was not you that sent me hither, BUT GOD: AND HE HATH MADE ME A FATHER TO PHARAOH, AND LORD OF ALL HIS HOUSE, AND A RULER THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND OF EGYPT.

And PHARAOH TOOK OFF HIS RING FROM HIS HAND, AND PUT IT UPON JOSEPH'S HAND, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and THEY CRIED BEFORE HIM, BOW THE KNEE: AND HE MADE HIM RULER OVER ALL THE LAND OF EGYPT.

I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O WHEN WILT THOU COME UNTO ME? I WILL WALK WITHIN MY HOUSE WITH A PERFECT HEART.
I WILL SET NO WICKED “”“THING””” BEFORE MINE EYES: I hate the work of them that turn aside; IT SHALL NOT CLEAVE TO ME.
A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: HE THAT WALKETH IN A PERFECT WAY, HE SHALL SERVE ME.
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.

All these men of war, that could keep rank, CAME WITH A PERFECT HEART TO HEBRON, TO MAKE DAVID KING OVER ALL ISRAEL: and ALL THE REST ALSO OF ISRAEL WERE OF ONE HEART TO MAKE DAVID KING.
And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, BROUGHT BREAD on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, CAKES OF FIGS, AND BUNCHES OF RAISINS, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: FOR THERE WAS JOY IN ISRAEL.

FOR THESE BE THE DAYS OF VENGEANCE, THAT ALL THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN MAY BE FULFILLED.

THE REST WERE BLINDED
DAVID SAITH, LET THEIR TABLE BE MADE A SNARE, AND A TRAP, AND A STUMBLINGBLOCK, AND A RECOMPENCE UNTO THEM:
LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED, THAT THEY MAY NOT SEE, AND BOW DOWN THEIR BACK ALWAYS
THE DIMINISHING OF THEM THE RICHES OF THE GENTILES

I WILL SET NO WICKED “”“THING””” BEFORE MINE EYES

BOWED THE KNEE TO THE IMAGE OF BAAL
That at THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of “THINGS” IN HEAVEN, and “THINGS” IN EARTH, and “THINGS” UNDER THE EARTH;
And that EVERY TONGUE SHOULD CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, to the glory of God the Father.

LET US KNEEL BEFORE THE LORD OUR MAKER.

THERE CAME A LEPER TO HIM, BESEECHING HIM, AND KNEELING DOWN TO HIM
THERE MET HIM TEN MEN THAT WERE LEPERS

THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD:
FOR THY SAKE WE ARE KILLED ALL THE DAY LONG; WE ARE ACCOUNTED AS SHEEP FOR THE SLAUGHTER.
WHEREWITH YE SHALL BE ABLE TO QUENCH ALL THE FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED
AND HE TOOK THREE DARTS IN HIS HAND, AND THRUST THEM THROUGH THE HEART

THUS THE JEWS SMOTE ALL THEIR ENEMIES WITH THE STROKE OF THE SWORD, AND SLAUGHTER, AND DESTRUCTION, AND DID WHAT THEY WOULD UNTO THOSE THAT HATED THEM.

AND THE SHEEP OF HIS HAND
For THE LORD is a GREAT GOD, and a GREAT KING above all gods.
To day if ye will hear his voice,
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
IN HIS HAND ARE THE DEEP PLACES OF THE EARTH: the strength of the hills is his also.
THE SEA IS HIS, AND HE MADE IT: AND HIS HANDS FORMED THE DRY LAND.
O COME, LET US WORSHIP AND BOW DOWN: LET US KNEEL BEFORE THE LORD OUR MAKER.
For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, AND THE SHEEP OF HIS HAND. To day if ye will hear his voice,
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN

BLESSING, AND HONOUR, AND GLORY, AND POWER, BE UNTO HIM THAT SITTETH UPON THE THRONE

OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY, FOR EVER

THEY SPAKE AND SAID TO THE KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR, O KING, LIVE FOR EVER.
THOU, O KING, ART A KING OF KINGS: FOR THE GOD OF HEAVEN HATH GIVEN THEE A KINGDOM, POWER, AND STRENGTH, AND GLORY.
AND WHERESOEVER THE CHILDREN OF MEN DWELL, THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD AND THE FOWLS OF THE HEAVEN HATH HE GIVEN INTO THINE HAND, AND HATH MADE THEE RULER OVER THEM ALL. THOU ART THIS HEAD OF GOLD.

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
After this manner therefore pray ye: OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY, FOR EVER. Amen.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

THOU, O KING, SAWEST, AND BEHOLD A GREAT IMAGE. THIS GREAT IMAGE, WHOSE BRIGHTNESS WAS EXCELLENT, STOOD BEFORE THEE; AND THE FORM THEREOF WAS TERRIBLE.
THIS IMAGE'S HEAD WAS OF FINE GOLD, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and HIS THIGHS OF BRASS,
His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
THOU, O KING, ART A KING OF KINGS: FOR THE GOD OF HEAVEN HATH GIVEN THEE A KINGDOM, POWER, AND STRENGTH, AND GLORY.
AND WHERESOEVER THE CHILDREN OF MEN DWELL, THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD AND THE FOWLS OF THE HEAVEN HATH HE GIVEN INTO THINE HAND, AND HATH MADE THEE RULER OVER THEM ALL. THOU ART THIS HEAD OF GOLD.

Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, YE FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP THE GOLDEN IMAGE THAT NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING HATH SET UP:
AND WHOSO FALLETH NOT DOWN AND WORSHIPPETH SHALL THE SAME HOUR BE CAST INTO THE MIDST OF A BURNING FIERY FURNACE.
Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, ALL THE PEOPLE, THE NATIONS, AND THE LANGUAGES, FELL DOWN AND WORSHIPPED THE GOLDEN IMAGE THAT NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING HAD SET UP.
Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
THEY SPAKE AND SAID TO THE KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR, O KING, LIVE FOR EVER.

Romulus (c. 771 BC–c. 717 BC) and Remus (c. 771 BC–c. 753 BC) are the traditional founders of Rome, appearing in Roman mythology as THE TWIN SONS OF THE PRIESTESS RHEA SILVIA, FATHERED BY THE GOD OF WAR, MARS. According to the tradition recorded as history by Plutarch and Livy, Romulus served as the first King of Rome.
ROMULUS SLEW REMUS over a dispute about which one of the two brothers had the support of the local deities to rule the new city and give it his name. The name they gave the city was Rome. Supposedly, ROMULUS HAD STOOD ON ONE HILL AND REMUS ANOTHER, AND A CIRCLE OF BIRDS FLEW OVER ROMULUS, SIGNIFYING THAT HE SHOULD BE KING. After founding Rome, ROMULUS NOT ONLY CREATED THE ROMAN LEGIONS and the Roman Senate, but also added citizens to his new city by abducting the women of the neighboring Sabine tribes, which resulted in the mixture of the Sabines and Romans into one people. Romulus would become ancient Rome's greatest conqueror, adding large amounts of territory and people to the dominion of Rome.

But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, JESUS, THOU SON OF THE MOST HIGH GOD? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
For he said unto him, COME OUT OF THE MAN, THOU UNCLEAN SPIRIT.
And he asked him, WHAT IS THY NAME? AND HE ANSWERED, SAYING, MY NAME IS LEGION: FOR WE ARE MANY.
And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
And ALL THE DEVILS BESOUGHT HIM, SAYING, SEND US INTO THE SWINE, THAT WE MAY ENTER INTO THEM.
And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. AND THE UNCLEAN SPIRITS WENT OUT, AND ENTERED INTO THE SWINE: AND THE HERD RAN VIOLENTLY DOWN A STEEP PLACE INTO THE SEA, (they were about two thousand;) AND WERE CHOKED IN THE SEA.
And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
And they COME TO JESUS, AND SEE HIM THAT WAS POSSESSED WITH THE DEVIL, and HAD THE LEGION, SITTING, AND CLOTHED, AND IN HIS “RIGHT MIND”: and they were afraid.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.

Behold, I SEND YOU FORTH AS SHEEP in the midst of wolves: BE YE THEREFORE WISE AS SERPENTS, AND HARMLESS AS DOVES.

And THE KING OF SODOM SAID unto Abram, GIVE ME THE PERSONS, and take the goods to thyself.
And ABRAM SAID TO THE KING OF SODOM, I HAVE LIFT UP MINE HAND UNTO THE LORD, THE MOST HIGH GOD, THE POSSESSOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
That I WILL NOT TAKE FROM A THREAD EVEN TO A SHOELATCHET, AND THAT I WILL NOT TAKE ANY THING THAT IS THINE, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.
This is he of whom I said, AFTER ME COMETH A MAN WHICH IS PREFERRED BEFORE ME: FOR HE WAS BEFORE ME.

And John bare record, saying, I SAW THE SPIRIT DESCENDING FROM HEAVEN LIKE A DOVE, AND IT ABODE UPON HIM.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
And I saw, and bare record THAT THIS IS THE SON OF GOD.
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD!

And Jesus said unto him, VERILY I SAY UNTO THEE, TO DAY SHALT THOU BE WITH ME IN PARADISE.
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, HE SAID, FATHER, INTO THY HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT: AND HAVING SAID THUS, HE GAVE UP THE GHOST.
Now when THE CENTURION SAW WHAT WAS DONE, HE GLORIFIED GOD, SAYING, CERTAINLY THIS WAS A RIGHTEOUS MAN.
And ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CAME TOGETHER TO THAT SIGHT, beholding the things which were done, SMOTE THEIR BREASTS, and returned.

But Jesus said unto them, YE KNOW NOT WHAT YE ASK: CAN YE DRINK OF THE CUP THAT I DRINK OF? AND BE BAPTIZED WITH THE BAPTISM THAT I AM BAPTIZED WITH?
And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, YE SHALL INDEED DRINK OF THE CUP THAT I DRINK OF; AND WITH THE BAPTISM THAT I AM BAPTIZED WITHAL SHALL YE BE BAPTIZED:
But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
And when THE TEN HEARD IT, they began to be much displeased with James and John.

Now when JESUS WAS IN BETHANY, IN THE HOUSE OF SIMON THE LEPER,

So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
And as he entered into a certain village, THERE MET HIM TEN MEN THAT WERE LEPERS, which stood afar off:
And THEY LIFTED UP THEIR VOICES, AND SAID, JESUS, MASTER, have mercy on us.

And SIMON AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM FOLLOWED AFTER HIM.
And when they had found him, THEY SAID UNTO HIM, ALL MEN SEEK FOR THEE.
And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
And THERE CAME A LEPER TO HIM, BESEECHING HIM, AND KNEELING DOWN TO HIM, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Heal the sick, CLEANSE THE LEPERS, raise the dead, CAST OUT DEVILS: freely ye have received, freely give.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
THE BLIND RECEIVE THEIR SIGHT, AND THE LAME WALK, THE LEPERS ARE CLEANSED, AND THE DEAF HEAR, the dead are raised up, and THE POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.

And he said unto them, GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.
HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; IN MY NAME SHALL THEY CAST OUT DEVILS; THEY SHALL SPEAK WITH NEW TONGUES;
THEY SHALL TAKE UP SERPENTS; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

And John bare record, saying, I SAW THE SPIRIT DESCENDING FROM HEAVEN LIKE A DOVE, AND IT ABODE UPON HIM.

Behold, I SEND YOU FORTH AS SHEEP in the midst of wolves: BE YE THEREFORE WISE AS SERPENTS, AND HARMLESS AS DOVES.

Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: FOR ALL THEY THAT TAKE THE SWORD SHALL PERISH WITH THE SWORD.

IN HIS HAND ARE THE DEEP PLACES OF THE EARTH
THE SEA IS HIS, AND HE MADE IT: AND HIS HANDS FORMED THE DRY LAND.
AND THE SHEEP OF HIS HAND
LET US KNEEL BEFORE THE LORD OUR MAKER.

For THE SON OF MAN IS LORD EVEN OF THE SABBATH DAY.
But that ye may know that THE SON OF MAN HATH POWER ON EARTH to forgive sins
THE SON OF MAN CAME EATING AND DRINKING, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, A FRIEND OF PUBLICANS AND SINNERS. But wisdom is justified of her children.
VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE BE SOME STANDING HERE, WHICH SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, TILL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN HIS KINGDOM.
For AS JONAS WAS A SIGN UNTO THE NINEVITES, SO SHALL ALSO THE SON OF MAN BE TO THIS GENERATION.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
But THE SAME DAY THAT LOT WENT OUT OF SODOM IT RAINED FIRE AND BRIMSTONE FROM HEAVEN, AND DESTROYED THEM ALL.
Even THUS SHALL IT BE IN THE DAY WHEN THE SON OF MAN IS REVEALED.
Hereafter shall THE SON OF MAN SIT ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE POWER OF GOD.
Then Jesus said unto them, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YE HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU.
WHAT AND IF YE SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN ASCEND UP WHERE HE WAS BEFORE?

THEY LIFTED UP THEIR VOICES, AND SAID, JESUS, MASTER
THEY SAID UNTO HIM, ALL MEN SEEK FOR THEE.
JESUS WAS IN BETHANY, IN THE HOUSE OF SIMON THE LEPER,
SIMON AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM FOLLOWED AFTER HIM
THERE MET HIM TEN MEN THAT WERE LEPERS
THERE CAME A LEPER TO HIM, BESEECHING HIM, AND KNEELING DOWN TO HIM
THE CENTURION SAW WHAT WAS DONE, HE GLORIFIED GOD, SAYING, CERTAINLY THIS WAS A RIGHTEOUS MAN.
WHAT IS THY NAME? AND HE ANSWERED, SAYING, MY NAME IS LEGION: FOR WE ARE MANY
COME TO JESUS, AND SEE HIM THAT WAS POSSESSED WITH THE DEVIL
ALL THE DEVILS BESOUGHT HIM, SAYING, SEND US INTO THE SWINE, THAT WE MAY ENTER INTO THEM
AND THE UNCLEAN SPIRITS WENT OUT, AND ENTERED INTO THE SWINE: AND THE HERD RAN VIOLENTLY DOWN A STEEP PLACE INTO THE SEA, AND WERE CHOKED IN THE SEA.
I SEND YOU FORTH AS SHEEP
HAD THE LEGION, SITTING, AND CLOTHED, AND IN HIS “RIGHT MIND”
BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.
BE YE THEREFORE WISE AS SERPENTS, AND HARMLESS AS DOVES.
VERILY I SAY UNTO THEE, TO DAY SHALT THOU BE WITH ME IN PARADISE

As it is written, FOR THY SAKE WE ARE KILLED ALL THE DAY LONG; WE ARE ACCOUNTED AS SHEEP FOR THE SLAUGHTER.

FOR ALL THEY THAT TAKE THE SWORD SHALL PERISH WITH THE SWORD.

Wherefore take unto you THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, WHEREWITH YE SHALL BE ABLE TO QUENCH ALL THE FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED.
And take the helmet of salvation, and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD:

THEN SAID JOAB
AND TEN YOUNG MEN THAT BARE JOAB'S ARMOUR COMPASSED ABOUT AND SMOTE ABSALOM, AND SLEW HIM.
AND OF HIM AND OF ALL THE MEN THAT ARE WITH HIM, JOAB, THERE SHALL NOT BE LEFT SO MUCH AS ONE.

But DEBORAH REBEKAH'S NURSE DIED, AND SHE WAS BURIED BENEATH BETHEL UNDER AN OAK: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.

AND THEY GAVE UNTO JACOB ALL THE STRANGE GODS WHICH WERE IN THEIR HAND, AND ALL THEIR EARRINGS WHICH WERE IN THEIR EARS; and JACOB HID THEM UNDER THE OAK WHICH WAS BY SHECHEM.
And they journeyed: and THE TERROR OF GOD WAS UPON THE CITIES that were round about them, and THEY DID NOT PURSUE AFTER THE SONS OF JACOB.

And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, BEHOLD, THY DWELLING SHALL BE THE FATNESS OF THE EARTH, AND OF THE DEW OF HEAVEN FROM ABOVE;
AND BY THY SWORD SHALT THOU LIVE, AND SHALT SERVE THY BROTHER; AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS WHEN THOU SHALT HAVE THE DOMINION, THAT THOU SHALT BREAK HIS YOKE FROM OFF THY NECK.
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: AND ESAU SAID IN HIS HEART, THE DAYS OF MOURNING FOR MY FATHER ARE AT HAND; THEN WILL I SLAY MY BROTHER JACOB.
And THESE WORDS OF ESAU HER ELDER SON WERE TOLD TO REBEKAH: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, BEHOLD, THY BROTHER ESAU, AS TOUCHING THEE, DOTH COMFORT HIMSELF, PURPOSING TO KILL THEE.

THE DAYS OF MOURNING FOR MY FATHER ARE AT HAND; THEN WILL I SLAY MY BROTHER JACOB
DAVID SAID UNTO HIS SERVANTS, Is the child dead? And they said, HE, DAVID, IS DEAD.

And JACOB VOWED A VOW, SAYING, IF GOD WILL BE WITH ME, AND WILL KEEP ME IN THIS WAY THAT I GO, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
SO THAT I COME AGAIN TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE IN PEACE; then shall the Lord be my God:
And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and OF ALL THAT THOU SHALT GIVE ME I WILL SURELY GIVE THE TENTH UNTO THEE.

And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, WE CAME TO THY BROTHER ESAU, AND ALSO HE COMETH TO MEET THEE, AND FOUR HUNDRED MEN WITH HIM.
THEN JACOB WAS GREATLY AFRAID AND DISTRESSED: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
DELIVER ME, I PRAY THEE, FROM THE HAND OF MY BROTHER, FROM THE HAND OF ESAU: FOR I FEAR HIM, LEST HE WILL COME AND SMITE ME, AND THE MOTHER WITH THE CHILDREN.
And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, BEHOLD, WHILE THE CHILD WAS YET ALIVE, WE SPAKE UNTO HIM, AND HE WOULD NOT HEARKEN UNTO OUR VOICE: HOW WILL HE THEN VEX HIMSELF, IF WE TELL HIM THAT THE CHILD IS DEAD?
But when David saw that his servants whispered, DAVID PERCEIVED THAT THE CHILD WAS DEAD: THEREFORE DAVID SAID UNTO HIS SERVANTS, IS THE CHILD DEAD? AND THEY SAID, HE IS DEAD.
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
BUT NOW HE IS DEAD, WHEREFORE SHOULD I FAST? CAN I BRING HIM BACK AGAIN? I SHALL GO TO HIM, BUT HE SHALL NOT RETURN TO ME.

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: AS I WAS WITH MOSES, SO I WILL BE WITH THEE: I WILL NOT FAIL THEE, NOR FORSAKE THEE.

For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, THERE IS A SLAUGHTER AMONG THE PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW ABSALOM.
And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men.
THEREFORE I COUNSEL THAT ALL ISRAEL BE GENERALLY GATHERED UNTO THEE, FROM DAN EVEN TO BEERSHEBA, AS THE SAND THAT IS BY THE SEA FOR MULTITUDE; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: AND OF HIM AND OF ALL THE MEN THAT ARE WITH HIM THERE SHALL NOT BE LEFT SO MUCH AS ONE.

Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men.
FOR THE BATTLE WAS THERE SCATTERED OVER THE FACE OF ALL THE COUNTRY: AND THE WOOD DEVOURED MORE PEOPLE THAT DAY THAN THE SWORD DEVOURED.
And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the THICK BOUGHS OF A GREAT OAK, AND HIS HEAD CAUGHT HOLD OF THE OAK, AND HE WAS TAKEN UP BETWEEN THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH; and the mule that was under him went away.
And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, BEHOLD, I SAW ABSALOM HANGED IN AN OAK.

THEN SAID JOAB, I may not tarry thus with thee. AND HE TOOK THREE DARTS IN HIS HAND, AND THRUST THEM THROUGH THE HEART OF ABSALOM, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.
AND TEN YOUNG MEN THAT BARE JOAB'S ARMOUR COMPASSED ABOUT AND SMOTE ABSALOM, AND SLEW HIM.
And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.
AND THEY TOOK ABSALOM, AND CAST HIM INTO A GREAT PIT IN THE WOOD, AND LAID A VERY GREAT HEAP OF STONES UPON HIM: and all Israel fled every one to his tent.
Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.

THEN SAID JOAB
AND TEN YOUNG MEN THAT BARE JOAB'S ARMOUR COMPASSED ABOUT AND SMOTE ABSALOM, AND SLEW HIM.
AND OF HIM AND OF ALL THE MEN THAT ARE WITH HIM, JOAB, THERE SHALL NOT BE LEFT SO MUCH AS ONE.

After these things did KING AHASUERUS PROMOTE HAMAN THE SON OF HAMMEDATHA THE AGAGITE, AND ADVANCED HIM, AND SET HIS SEAT ABOVE ALL THE PRINCES THAT WERE WITH HIM.
And ALL THE KING'S SERVANTS, THAT WERE IN THE KING'S GATE, BOWED, AND REVERENCED HAMAN: FOR THE KING HAD SO COMMANDED CONCERNING HIM. BUT MORDECAI BOWED NOT, NOR DID HIM REVERENCE.
Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, WHY TRANSGRESSEST THOU THE KING'S COMMANDMENT?
Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that THEY TOLD HAMAN, TO SEE WHETHER MORDECAI'S MATTERS WOULD STAND: FOR HE HAD TOLD THEM THAT HE WAS A JEW.
And WHEN HAMAN SAW THAT MORDECAI BOWED NOT, NOR DID HIM REVERENCE, THEN WAS HAMAN FULL OF WRATH.
And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: WHEREFORE HAMAN SOUGHT TO DESTROY ALL THE JEWS THAT WERE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE KINGDOM OF AHASUERUS, “””EVEN THE PEOPLE OF MORDECAI.”””
In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in THE TWELFTH YEAR of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to THE TWELFTH MONTH, that is, the month Adar.

THE TEN SONS OF HAMAN THE SON OF HAMMEDATHA, THE ENEMY OF THE JEWS, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and THE TEN SONS OF HAMAN; WHAT HAVE THEY DONE IN THE REST OF THE KING'S PROVINCES? NOW WHAT IS THY PETITION? AND IT SHALL BE GRANTED THEE: OR WHAT IS THY REQUEST FURTHER? AND IT SHALL BE DONE.
Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, AND LET HAMAN'S TEN SONS BE HANGED UPON THE GALLOWS.
And THE KING COMMANDED IT SO TO BE DONE: AND THE DECREE WAS GIVEN AT SHUSHAN; AND THEY HANGED HAMAN'S TEN SONS.
For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
But the other JEWS THAT WERE IN THE KING'S PROVINCES GATHERED THEMSELVES TOGETHER, AND STOOD FOR THEIR LIVES, AND HAD REST FROM THEIR ENEMIES, AND SLEW OF THEIR FOES SEVENTY AND FIVE THOUSAND, BUT THEY LAID NOT THEIR HANDS ON THE PREY,

Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when THE KING'S COMMANDMENT AND HIS DECREE DREW NEAR TO BE PUT IN EXECUTION, IN THE DAY THAT THE ENEMIES OF THE JEWS HOPED TO HAVE POWER OVER THEM, (THOUGH IT WAS TURNED TO THE CONTRARY, THAT THE JEWS HAD RULE OVER THEM THAT HATED THEM;)
THE JEWS GATHERED THEMSELVES TOGETHER in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: AND NO MAN COULD WITHSTAND THEM; FOR THE FEAR OF THEM FELL UPON ALL PEOPLE.
And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; BECAUSE THE FEAR OF MORDECAI FELL UPON THEM.
FOR MORDECAI WAS GREAT IN THE KING'S HOUSE, AND HIS FAME WENT OUT THROUGHOUT ALL THE PROVINCES: FOR THIS MAN MORDECAI WAXED GREATER AND GREATER.
THUS THE JEWS SMOTE ALL THEIR ENEMIES WITH THE STROKE OF THE SWORD, AND SLAUGHTER, AND DESTRUCTION, AND DID WHAT THEY WOULD UNTO THOSE THAT HATED THEM.

Perfect Storm? What a concept. While America murders 50,000,000 baby's, perversion has a green light against all decency, and because of America's Sin she is coming lose at the seams.

Perfect Storm, yes that may be true but it is not being caused by manipulations of fear and hate. It's more like a malignancy that is advanced to a terminal inoperable condition. SIN is at the core of this malignancy, blaming the condition on the symptom doesn't begin to give insight into the cause.

America must Repent and turn back to the principles of Godliness. Voting for one who upholds the murder of children does not demonstrate civility.

"We are at risk, as a nation, of being torn apart by a perfect storm of anger and fear that is blowing up in this charged political season. It is the job of every person of faith, clergy or lay, to recognize that anger fueled by fear is unfaithful and do what they can to still the waters."

Medieval Christian bestiaries once credited the halcyon with this power.

Just a bird.

Mighty as we think we are, we could still learn this.

If we choose to feel it.
We'll still be on an ocean, but 'perfect storm?'

No. No perfection about it.

Peace.

It's not as hard as it's cracked up to be.

Unless you really want to be the storm.
