1. CONFOUNDING THE WISE

They say, and understand not.    "Who is they?"

They steal, and have not.    "Who is they?"

They lie, and know it is a lie.    "Who is all, and who is they?"

They baffle one another,
in contempt of good.        "Who is they?"

They interrupt.             "Who is they?"

They feign innocence.        "Who is they?"

They hide.            "Who is they?"

Conclusion: They maneuver, like a snake, but they can not outwit God. He sees all. "What is all -- DRUGS?"


2. STRENGTHEND

3. AND THE DARKNESS COMPREHENDED IT NOT

I witnessed to them and they stoned me.

I witnessed to them and they hated me.

I witnessed to them and they accused me of "judging."

I witnessed to them and they broke everything, and moved.

I witnessed to them and they excused their evil to me because they said I was "religious."

I witnessed to them and they stole from me.

I witnessed to and and they reviled and rejected me.

I witnessed to them and they were brought to full enlightenment, and understanding, and they rebelled against it.

I witnessed to them and they put my life and property in danger.

I witnessed to them and they would not pay their rent, or move, but stayed on only to afflict and torment, and influence the other tenants into dishonesty and disloyalty against me.

Conclusion: In love, I witnessed to them, only now realizing, that in their pride and conceit, the Cross was an offense to them, as well as me. But, if I had known the Way of Salvation and not told them in Truth, their life and blood would have been on my hands. But, I told them, and my words were rejected and their sin remains, until God sends someone else to them, if He does. In diversity, He has sent me to them, and the darkness comprehended it not.


4. DON'T WORRY IT IS ALL FOR THE BEST

From the highest to the lowest,
Broken promises, and holes in the walls.

From the highest to the lowest,
Uncleaness, and dry wet-mops on the line.

From the highest to the lowest,
Take all, and strip the room.

From the highest to the lowest,
Lie, and steal.

From the highest to the lowest,
Redeem the rent, and get it back.


5. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ME IN THE INN, TOO

Only it's the telephone now, no return calls
Only it's appointment now, no show.
Only it's promises now of help, pay first then wait.
    There will be no help.

Only it's help us now, with your money after your death.
Only it's give us your wealth now, you can starve.
Only it's our need to be met, at your expense.
    We are here, and will the fierce.

Only it's us against you, and there are more of us.
Only it's our lawyers and courts, against your appeal.
Only it's our theft that will remain, it will never be repaid.
    We are determined.

Conclusion: The lord was born in a stable. And, I will be heard on the printed page.


6. CRITICISM

Firstly: "By what measure ye meet, it shall be measured to you again."

Secondly: God has not changed His Mind one bit.

Thirdly: And, you are not Him.

Fourthly: Neither are your co-conspirators.

Fifthly: There is a hell.

Sixthly: There is a heaven.

Seventhly: There is a Satan and is demons.

Eighthly: There is trouble.

Ninthly: There is no necessity to avoid this issue.

Tenthly: There is no necessity to conspire.


7. THERE IS NOTHING HERE FOR ME

In an evil land,    Nothing.

In a defeated land,    Nothing.

In a deceiving land,    Nothing.

In a sinning land,    Nothing.

In a prayerless land,    Nothing.

In a visionless land,    Nothing.

In a shooting land,    Nothing.

Conclusion: Nothing is left.


8. THE HORRENDOUS SINS AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST OF INDIVIDUALS, NATIONS, AND CITIES, THAT BRING ON THE JUDGMENT OF DESTRUCTION AND DEATH

Firstly, the scorn of Truth, and its suppression even unto per.

Secondly, the violence against the Kingdom of God, and His Authority.

Thirdly, the utter abandonment of morals, and sexual excesses.

Fourthly, the living contamination of the body by drunkenness.

Fifthly, the gratification of the mouth of the lying tongue.

Sixthly, the force of the conquest of evil.

Seventhly, the heaping to one's self of every evil continually, knowingly.

Eighthly, the stubbornness and hate of any correction or reproof.

Ninthly, the lifelong dedication to misdeeds and exploitation.

Tenthly, the study of the occult, and the worship of it.

God does not give up easily His wooing of the sinner, but when He does, that individual, nation or city trembles and falls before Him and His scorn, and wrath, and derision, judgment, punishment, death and separation; with no hope of temporal or Eternal reconciliation, or approval, later on.


9. GRIEVING, SINNING, AND OFFENDING THE HOLY GHOST

"Don't count your chickens before the eggs are hatched."

"Don't you think you are expecting a bit too much from God."

"Hath God said, what?"

"By what authority are you in this meeting."

"A woman should have no say in the church."

"I can remember Stella, from years ago, when she went to our church."

"Her money was just in the numbered envelope."

"She cries."

"Her husband is unsaved."

"I'll see her robbed and begging, sick and hungry, and on her knees to me, a xxx. I will not pay her my debt of thousands of dollars."

"I'll not let her have anything."

"I'll steal from her her good work and crown, for it is a good work, only I can do it better."

"I'll not tell anyone I know her."

"I'll let her die unknown, and unnoticed."


10. I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU NO ONE CAN PLUCK YOU OUT OF MY HAND

Not sickness or medications or confinement.

Not privation or heartbreaks or reclusion.

Not windowhood or orphanhood or unschooled.

Not hunger or starvation or weakness.

Not aloneness or ostracism or slander.

Not despair or futility rejection.

Not robbery or murder or accidents.

Not trouble or burdens or cares.

Not success or utterance or wealth.

Not silence or fame or death.


11. HE IS KEEPING EVERYTHING TOGETHER

Firstly, through the suffering.

Secondly, through the perfecting.

Thirdly, through the establishing.

Fourthly, through the strengthening.

Fifthly, through the setting.


That He might be glorified.

That He might be honored.

That He might be exalted.

That He like be manifested.

That He might be known from generation to generation.


12. WHY WILL YOU?

Grieve the Holy Spirit of God,

    and die.

Break the heart of love that supports you,

    and perish.

Give your resources to the evil cause,

    and lose.

Deny the hope of good for craftiness,

    and be punished.

Never be perfected concerning God,

    and income unprofitable.


13. IT IS HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE YET IT HAS BEEN DONE

To be born against all odds.

To be working against all practices.

To be eating against all famines.

To be thinking against all evil powers.

To be praying against all agnosticism.

To be dressing against all nakedness.

To be talking against all harassments.

To be heard against all voices.

To be understood against all hairsplitting.

To be alive against all forces.


14. LET ME BRING FORTH THE FRUIT THEREOF

It is my desire, to fill up Thy house for the Wedding Supper.

It is my desire, to fill up my cup of righteousness on the Earth.

It is my desire, to bring to nought the things that are.

It is my desire, to have Thou enlarge my coasts.

It is my desire, to have Thou with me, and to keep me from evil been it may not grieve me.


15. "THEIR DISOBEDIENCE IS FULL," FATHER

The lies they chose over Truth:
Scorn, rather than kisses for The Lord.

The lies they chose over Truth:
Sin, rather than kisses for The Lord.

The lies they chose over Truth:
Denial, rather than kisses for The Lord.

The lies they chose over Truth:
Murder, rather than kisses for The Lord.

The lies they chose over Truth:
Mischief, rather than kisses for The Lord.

The lies they chose over Truth:
Misdeeds, rather than kisses for The Lord.

The lies they chose over Truth:
Disobedience, rather than kisses for The Lord.

The lies they chose over Truth:
Blasphemy, rather than kisses for The Lord.

The lies they chose over Truth:
Hatred, rather than kisses for The Lord.

The lies they chose over Truth:
Impentience, rather than kisses for The Lord.


16. SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN

Come back after death and be the same, in insensitivity, to the commands of God.

Come back after death and be the same, in insensitivity, to the demands of righteousness.

Come back after death and be the same, in insensitivity, to the endurance of life.

Come back after death and be the same, in insensitivity, to the work and labor for God.

Come back after death and be the same, in insensitivity, to the continuance of Eternity.

You won't be back, you are bound a living death in hell, or the lake of Fire, the second death.

You won't be back, you are bound a living death in hell, or the lake of Fire, for what you did the first time around.

You won't be back, you are bound a living death in hell, or the lake of Fire, for the glee you had in sin.

You won't be back, you are bound a living death in hell, remembering it all forever, punished forever.

You won't be back, you are bound a living death in hell, or the lake of Fire forever.

Your resurrection is after His Reign of Righteousness on the Earth.


17. REDEEMING THE TIME

The untaught . . . taught of God . . . are teaching.

The unlearned . . . wise with God . . . are encouraging.

The poor and needy . . . provided by God . . . are replenishing the Earth.

The humble . . . lifted up of God . . . are rejoicing.

The praying . . . and forgiven of God . . . are cleansed and healed.

The commissioned of God . . . and accepted before Him . . . are leading the way.

The prophet of God . . . and anointed of God . . . is prophesying clearly.

The teacher from God . . . instructed of God . . . is writing and speaking.

The cleansed of God . . . and worshiping God . . . are filling the sanctuary.

The redeemed of God . . . and sealed of God . . . are awaiting their victory.


18. DON'T WORRY EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT

"It is giving me real pleasure to:

Promote you,

Promote your writings,

Promote your programs,

Promote your faith,

Promote your endurance,

Promote your kindness,

Promote your well-being,

Promote your health,

Promote your fame,

Promote your wealth."

It is giving me real pleasure to be promoted.


19. I AM READY FOR THE CROWN

Are you?

Have you endured persecution ten days?

Are you?

Have you brought someone to enlightenment and Salvation.

Are you?

Have you kept under your body?

Are you?

Have you run a good race, and love the appearing of The Lord?

Are you?

Have you been a faithful shepherd?

Are you?

Prepared to meet your God?
    And receive your rewards?


20. THESE HAVE ALL HURT ME

And, are spread out before Thee, in prayer,
As they are ready for an attack on me, for my husband.
Satan is rebuked.

And, are spread out before Thee, in prayer,
As they are ready to steal my home.
Satan is rebuked.

And, are spread out before Thee, in prayer,
As they are ready to kill me by any means.
Satan is rebuked.

And, are spread out before Thee, in prayer,
As they are ready to live forever against me.
Satan is rebuked.

And, are spread out before Thee, in prayer,
As they are ready to insist on my silence.
Satan is rebuked.


THESE HAVE ALL HURT ME

And, are spread out before Thee, in prayer,
As they are ready to end my life.
Satan is rebuked.

And, are spread out before Thee, in prayer,
As they are ready to cut down my work speedily.
Satan is rebuked.

And, are spread out before Thee, in prayer,
As they are ready to take money for nothing again.
Satan is rebuked.

And, are spread out before Thee, in prayer,
As they are ready to say and not do again.
Satan is rebuked.

And, are spread out before Thee, in prayer,
As they are ready to live on in this injustice.
Satan is rebuked.


21. AN ESSAY

So, you have heard it all before: If someone begins to
speak of judgment. But, to you remember it of yourself, when
you are doing things worthy of enduring judgment? And, have
you taught your children? Many children are in early trouble
because they have not been taught what is right and what is
wrong. How the parents do lament in the court, and to the in-
laws in out-laws, and to the schools, and to the churches;
when it was their own fault for not giving adequate moral
teaching. It goes from: When the child is an adult, he can
choose his own church. This probably is the greatest of all
moral parental sins, for God holds the parents responsible for
the training of each of their own children. "Bring up a child in
the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart
from it." This is for you, parents, not someone else. It is your
child, before God.


22. VERY MUCH PAIN NEXT DOOR

For all they have given in grief:
There is distress in every home.

For all they have given in grief:
The times have changed.

For all they have given in grief:
Their happiness is stolen.

For all they have given in grief:
Their lovers are gone.

For all they have given in grief:
Their sustenance is quenched.

For all they have given in grief:
Their pitfall is covered.

For all they have given in grief:
Their weapons have not prospered.

For all they have given in grief:
Their tongues are condemned.

For all they have given in grief:
Their self-righteousness is a mockery. Ho-Hum.

For all they have given in grief:
They are condemned.


23. "I AM ANGRY," FATHER

"For each beautiful day I make:
Nothing is right with sunlight, or rain."

"For each beautiful day I make:
Only evil is reported, under the sun."

"For each beautiful day I make:
There is no thanksgiving for the food I give."

"For each beautiful day I make:
The children are denied, and neglected."

"For each beautiful day I make:
The good works are ceasing."

"For each beautiful day I make:
The prayers are ceasing."

"For each beautiful day I make:
The gratitude is gone."


"I AM ANGRY," FATHER

"For each beautiful day I make:
The thanksgiving is not offered to Me."

"For each beautiful day I make:
No one is happy."

"For each beautiful day I make:
The unending sin continues in it."

"Why should I continue this?"

"Why" (?) "I am angry."

The Father.

"There will be no reconciliation to me,
For this generation of vipers."



24. THE DEVIL MAY CAST SOME OF YOU
IN PRISON

But be thou faithful ten days, for the Crown of Life.

But be thou faithful ten days, 'till the indignation passes.

But be thou faithful ten days, 'till The Lord's Will is done.

But be thou faithful ten days, 'till all enemies are footstools.

But be thou faithful ten days, 'till Eternity beckons.


25. THERE ARE NO PEACEMAKERS

For compliance to the Word of God without sin:
The murderers are sent with stones,
Serpents, and scorpions to do you in.

For compliance to the Word of God with love:
The mockers are sent with lawsuits,
And defamations, and death.

For compliance to the Word of God with all strength and work:
The hinderers are sent to tear up the time,
And times, and half-a-time.

For compliance to the Word of God in prophetic Truth:
The liars are set loose from the housetops.

For compliance to the Word of God in submission and homage:
The bedevilers are sent to humble the lover of God.

For compliance to the Word of God in faith and trust:
The ones that always say "no" are sent,
To discourage, and eat.

For compliance to the Word of God in hope and expectation:
The ones full of treachery, deceit, lies, murder,
And hatred are sent.

You say, "Sent of whom?"

You do not doubt that they are sent.

The answer is: They are sent by the rulers of darkness of whom
this present world.

"Why," you say?

BECAUSE THERE ARE NO PEACEMAKERS IN DARKNESS,
NOT ONE,
ANYWHERE.

THE END


About the author:

"And they (Israel) shall fail by the edge of the Sword and
shall be led away captive into all nations (Titus, 70 A.D.): and
Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times
of the Gentiles be fulfilled." Luke 21:24.

The Israelis regained the Old City of Jerusalem during the
June war of 1967, thus ending, prophetically speaking, the
times of the Gentiles and ushering in the end-time events. These
include: the secret return, in the air, of The Lord Jesus Christ for
His Church, made up of believing Jews and Gentiles: the rise of
political and military BABYLON, THE GREAT: the seven-year
covenant of Israel with the Antichrist, broken mid-week: and
the time of Jacob's Sorrow before Armageddon.

While the church is still on the Earth, in Jerusalem is back
in the hands of the Israelis, this time is known, prophetically, as
the Beginning of Sorrows.

"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and their shall be famines, and pestilence, and
earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of
sorrows." Matthew 24:7-8.

We are living in the Beginning of Sorrows.
