Isaiah 49
The Servant’s Mission
Listen to me, O coastlands, pay attention, you peoples from far away! The Lord called me before I was born, while I was in my mother’s womb he named me. He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away. And he said to me, ‘You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.’ But I said, ‘I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my cause is with the Lord, and my reward with my God.’
And now the Lord says, who formed me in the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him, for I am honoured in the sight of the Lord, and my God has become my strength— he says, ‘It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the survivors of Israel; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.’
Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One, to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nations, the slave of rulers, ‘Kings shall see and stand up, princes, and they shall prostrate themselves, because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.’

Zion’s Children to Be Brought Home
Thus says the Lord: In a time of favour I have answered you, on a day of salvation I have helped you; I have kept you and given you as a covenant to the people,* to establish the land, to apportion the desolate heritages; saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out’, to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’ They shall feed along the ways, on all the bare heights* shall be their pasture; they shall not hunger or thirst, neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them down, for he who has pity on them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them. And I will turn all my mountains into a road, and my highways shall be raised up. Lo, these shall come from far away, and lo, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Syene.
Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing! For the Lord has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his suffering ones.
 But Zion said, ‘The Lord has forsaken me, my Lord has forgotten me.’ Can a woman forget her nursing-child, or show no compassion for the child of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me. Your builders outdo your destroyers, and those who laid you waste go away from you. Lift up your eyes all around and see; they all gather, they come to you. As I live, says the Lord, you shall put all of them on like an ornament, and like a bride you shall bind them on.
Surely your waste and your desolate places and your devastated land— surely now you will be too crowded for your inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up will be far away. The children born in the time of your bereavement will yet say in your hearing: ‘The place is too crowded for me; make room for me to settle.’ Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has borne me these? I was bereaved and barren, exiled and put away— so who has reared these? I was left all alone— where then have these come from?’
Thus says the Lord God: I will soon lift up my hand to the nations, and raise my signal to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders. Kings shall be your foster-fathers, and their queens your nursing-mothers. With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.
Can the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be rescued? But thus says the Lord: Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken, and the prey of the tyrant be rescued; for I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children. I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine. Then all flesh shall know that I am the Lord your Saviour, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Hbr 8:7, 13 For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.
Hbr 10:20-31 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
And [having] an high priest over the house of G-d;
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised;)
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of G-d, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance [belongeth] unto me, I will recompense, saith the L-rd. And again, The L-rd shall judge his people.
[It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living G-d.

The first covenant is faultless. Paul seems to be finding error with G-d rather than man. Or rather in an effort to express a Greater Truth about G-d, and uncover the real evil in man, errs slightly on the side of righteousness, and a new born understanding thereof. For how shall a son/child become a man, if not through keeping, studying and observing Torah?
It is anything but clear that G-d made the first Covenant old or something that might pass away. By His own Life, Word and Action, it is clear that G-d intended to keep every word forever, but that the renewed covenant was to be kept in a new way, purely, from the heart.
But now, with a Christ who had no remembrance of who He or they were because He wished to forget their sins, and remember their sins no more, anything seemed possible, and indeed, anything was or is, for Him.
Jhn 12:16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and [that] they had done these things unto him.
Judaism, however, is, was and shall always be a religion of reminders, one that constantly provokes people to Unity of purpose and public displays of devotion.
This is why we keep the Sabbath and festivals, and read the Torah each year.
The Branch must often grow and reign among clusters of bitterness.
And the “new thing” must be encouraged and guarded by the old, but never abused and embittered by the old.
Luk 5:36-39 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was [taken] out of the new agreeth not with the old. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. No man also having drunk old [wine] straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
This is why there was no “old man” during Solomon’s reign; he or the L-RD had the foxes and bitter roots removed or destroyed to protect the new and worthy.
1Sa 2:31-32 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house. And thou shalt see an enemy [in my] habitation, in all [the wealth] which [G-d] shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
Old people in a society such as our’s, can grow desperately wicked. And here is why…
Amo 9:13 Behold, the days come, saith the L-RD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
Now reverse the order and the perverse shall reign…for…
Gal 4:1 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.
Jer 31:34-35 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the L-RD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the L-RD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Hbr 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the L-rd: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Again, how shall a son/child become a man, if not through keeping, studying and observing Torah?
It is no little matter to be a King, counselor, or even elected official. Never is the proclamation “Be ye no man pleasers” more important. Nor, “G-d is no respecter of persons.”
Kingdoms may be rent asunder and destroyed for small mistakes and errors in judgment. Too much power granted (an) authority figure(s) with no right nor place in a governing body and the ship doth sink of its passenger’s will. Titanically…
The choice is OURS, however, not one man’s, no matter how much authority may have been granted that one man.
Jhn 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
Jhn 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from G-d, and went to G-d; He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel wherewith he was girded.
We may either kill the American Dream or Fulfill the American Dream.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she with silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Paper in fire…end of vanity, embracing of sanity…
It is not civil disobedience which is called for, and which ariseth from those governed rather than those fit to govern but Regal Rebellion, which is the duty and responsibility of those who may govern.
When brought to remembrance of He who bestowed upon them such honour, divinity and right, there can be little question as to their duty toward mankind, or those who they wield power over.
2Pe 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
If books written were the beginnings of the Grand Delusion that caused us so much trouble, and the profusion of garbage available on the Internet the final result, or something useful made detrimental by the will of the people, there can be little question as to what the problem is and its fairly obvious solution…
Paper in fire.
Get rid of the waste, and scourge the “pestilential whore” what gave birth to it…
Now, that with the gift of technology we have perfected the obscene and unnecessary we should at least be ready, able and motivated to expunge, expel and destroy its reality in our “real world” for the greater harm it may do us and the greater good we may recapture and sustain through such an driving, cleansing force of Holy will, though they called to the task be not so alway.
Remember there is a difference between that purity which is above and that purity made even so as by fire.
It is not the canceling out of either good nor evil but a systematic solution and perhaps separation for the purpose of seclusion unto regression of sin and strengthening of resolve unto the ability to save and birth a new nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the probability that we are not all created equal. Rather, are an divided and seldom agreeable species of animal frequently unwilling.
One which often must be manipulated even to move its members to do the least bit of good for ourselves and our neighbours… having strayed so far from the commandments of G-d, we believe them defunct and unnecessary, even irrelevant.
But if an single member of the unhuman rat race would stop and consider what might have ever mattered and bestowed any meaning, life, love, charity and liberty unto one as unto all in our nation, insomuch that the fallen and broken might be sustained and “remade” unto the enduring (even enjoyment!) of folly and able to assist the greater good, bridling the greater evil and birthing the greatest freedom undue, nevertheless true to those who made who…There can be little question what it was, is and may yet be that ever made life worth living and creation worth enjoying, even when the living is done and yet life goes on…if not for the Perfect Law of Liberty which is unto Life Eternal whether lived now or promised after, even redemption from death. Something most if not all have been snared by and taken captive of unto slavery quite unwanted, yet equally inevitable…

The wicked may be useful for something more than the day of destruction after all…And indeed seem more useful in a world fallen to such an extent that no man may bring forth works of redeeming quality without compromise, which is of course, an unacceptable scenario for an Creator Perfect…but thus did He lay down His life for all.
1Ti 2:5-6 For [there is] one G-d, and one mediator between G-d and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
The thing is, a whore and men of violence, having endured evils innumerable in service and with an eye single to an future and greater glory, profusion of freedoms perhaps undue, with an resultant enabling of greater numbers of people, are ultimately not free but caught in the most wicked web spun of their own rebellion ever perpetrated upon the children of men.
Yet, having pulled it off, do not imagine it to be sinful, if the result come off as hoped for, unto the redemption of the wicked by their own strength, stealth, sacrifice, solution and will be done.
It is meant to extinguish the Holy Spirit and cancel out the G-d of Creation; denying the Right of their Creator to Judge according to His Omnipotent Will.
Because there was a time when He who was perfect and those who followed him had no need of him who is fallen and imperfect, the devil conspired, by any means necessary, seldom just, to bring down him who now was perfect and thus maintain unlawful necessities by granting unlawful emancipation to all manner of unholy vessels and their desires, satisfying any and all, by again, whatever means necessary.
Who was it that ever made these means possible? if not he and they whom the devil brought down and subjected to evil.

2Cr 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of G-d in him.
The devil will serve his brother as long as he may still hate his brother…but this is no service…
The Gift yet and alway comes from above, making the curse less terrible. But the Way in which it were given, if gone unremembered and unpracticed, eventually cancels out Its power to redeem, and this the devil knows…
So he stirs up the pride of men to depend upon themselves alone (idol worship) and the hearts of children of men unto violence even against themselves, and the hearts of their father’s fathers unto treachery upon treachery to even remain in the picture.
All of fallen mankind is an absolute abhorrence to G-d. Yet, in realizing, confessing and owning this Truth in very action and deed, we relive the gospel/torah every moment and are at once redeemed and the enemy within and without overcome.

“Practice makes perfect.”
Yet, perfectly practicing anything other than that which is lawful and true perfects that which is unnecessary and ultimately evil. Iniquity unnoticed and unchecked , both within and without, blustering forth in perfect error, remains and abhorrence and is rejected of G-d, costing man more than it profiteth.
1Ti 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
While that which is broken, marred and humbled, incapable because of the designs contrary of mankind to do that which is lawful and right, may be accepted, loved and redeemed, even while in the world it is rejected and cursed as even otherwise minded…justly resurrected unto life eternal because G-d looked beyond what was seen on the surface as failure and seen the success of His Word within His child; an vessel made even impractical and unwanted by the world…G-d searches the hearts and looks for the person He created you to be…never what the world asks you to be…

Man, on the other hand, may esteem whatever ability he may have mastered of more importance and greater worth to all than even His Creator, who bestowed upon him whatever talents or ability he now glorieth in, forgetting altogether why he may have ever sought to become able. In so doing man may often time have to break the Greater Law to observe and enable a lesser passion.
The Passion Play being the all in all, its exegesis must be maintained in soul awareness at all times because G-d so loved the world, not man necessarily, unless he in turn, loves G-d which is manifest by obedience to an commandment altogether Holy, Righteous and Just; untainted by the will, passion, desire and reason of man. It is altogether Faithful.
1Jo 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that G-d is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

It is, as they say, “tough shit” when one loses or forsakes his divine right. And tough shits must be kept in constant remembrance of this simple Truth.
Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
The Destination may be the reward, but it is not the point. The point is how and by what means one travels along the journey; whether that be upon the high or low road…
Lawful locomotion keeps men honest and the pace fair and sane, with resultant justice as a matter of course and gait.
This I remember, and therefore I have hope, that most of the wolves in the world are but sheep in wolves clothing.
And it is only because they forsook honest and goodly pride for an egotistic delusion.
Num 5:1 And the L-RD spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead: Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell. And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the L-RD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Act 17:22-31 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, [Ye] men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. G-d that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is L-rd of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the L-rd, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of G-d, we ought not to think that the G-dhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance G-d winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by [that] man whom he hath ordained; [whereof] he hath given assurance unto all [men], in that he hath raised him from the dead.

““If you have lived an upright life, you will be able to bear any misfortune or undeserved affliction.” Midrash Psalms (119) understands “sin couches at the door” to mean “if you take yourself to the House of Study you will be safe, for sin has no power to enter there.” Another midrash sees the impulse to sin as waiting outside one’s door, waiting to be invited in. Once admitted, it makes itself master of the house. (Gen. R. 22:6)” ~Commentary from Etz Hayim
Sin is therefore, kind of an disobedient, little child, grown tyrannical because of the above revelation, who knows he or she is doing wrong but there is no one there to tell him or her not to, nor is there anyone condemning the sin and cutting its’ umbilical cord… the root of the evil it now practices commonplace. It may be no more than a child seeking comfort or the company of its parent, from whom it may have received its first correction as a word of caution or gasp of terror/horror at seeing an innocent child in jeopardy. “Cain, what have you done?!”
Therein was the recognition Cain was seeking and that he did not receive when he made an offering with a like erring spirit within him…
It is the wrong recognition and the wrong way of getting it, but it is something to someone who otherwise has nothing.
When the child receives this recognition, he or she knows they are loved. Even if they are unwilling to accept the judgment and correction due, and are only made ready and willing to sin yet again for more of the same, thus putting themselves and G-d to an open shame.
A thrill of danger made something otherwise, by the thrill of shock, bringing out an acknowledgment of love, comfort or care, from a Being otherwise to Great to approach.
Hence, they are made aware that their life matters. So much so, that they are free to choose life or death whether corrected and admonished or not. Cain killed Abel not because he hated his brother but because he was envious of the pride his brother was found worthy of carrying with him through life. Cain failed to understand why and was born again, an vessel of evil, until he realized that G-d loved him too, but that it were his own error and misunderstanding that betrayed him, and made him less than worthy.
Murder is easy…Hiding a murder is difficult.
“Cain, who used the earth to cover his crime, is forever alientated from the earth. Cut off from nature, he becomes the builder of the first city…Enoch, founder of urban culture…..[part of/initiated from birth] the nomadic institution of blood vengeance.” ~Etz Hayim commentary.
Hab 2:12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
The root cause of this iniquity is the same, the world over…

She had a dream And boy it was a good one So she chased after her dream With much desire But when she got too close To her expectations Well the dream burned up Like paper in fire
Paper in fire Stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire Smokin' up the alleyways Who's to say the way A man should spend his days Do you let them smolder Like paper in fire
He wanted love With no involvement So he chased the wind That's all his silly life required And the days of vanity Went on forever And he saw his days burn up Like paper in fire
Paper in fire Stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire Smokin' up the alleyways Who's to say the way A man should spend his days Do you let them smolder Like paper in fire
There's a good life Right across the green fields And each generation Stares at it from afar But we keep no check On our appetites So the green fields turn to brown Like paper in fire
Paper in fire Stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire Smokin' up the alleyways Who's to say the way A man should spend his days Do you let them smolder Like paper in fire

Pro 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall have mercy.
May 19
Rev 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, [was there] the tree of life, which bare twelve [manner of] fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. And he said unto me, These sayings [are] faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly: blessed [is] he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. And I John saw these things, and heard [them]. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.

Mic 7:2-3 The good [man] is perished out of the earth: and [there is] none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and the great [man], he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
Isaiah59:4
No one brings suit justly, no one goes to law honestly; they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies, conceiving mischief and begetting iniquity.

The wolves have backed off for the moment, being seen for what they really are…I’ve signed an agreement to keep the apartment I have no desire to keep, and which were always intended by my enemy to be more of a prison cell than an alternative to homelessness.
My enemy is merely covering his/her tracks and using all legal and formal means to make what happened seem otherwise than it came to pass…
It is grand larceny and fraud, and as I’ve said in the past terrorism meted out to look like law enforcement.
Great numbers of people have been displaced by this pestilential whore of a democratic republican zoo…founded by bastard white men, upheld, fed and sustained by women and foreigners.
Life may make cynics of most people, but my faith is unshakable and my hope everlasting...
The L-RD giveth and the L-RD taketh away, blessed be the Name of the L-RD.
Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the L-RD's counsel that shall stand, and He suffers no man to be covetous or selfish.
Unfortunately, in the world, we all have enemies and are faulted by the very instance of being or not...
In order to be realized, one must be obedient and holy, but the moment you are, all your worst enemies will be manifested and try to drag you down or do away with you altogether to make room for that which really should not be, but desires to be, because it is of a natural consequence of being found out of the Way, found wanting.
Micah 7:3a That they may do evil with both hands earnestly
The saddest part which makes people cynics or worse is that once realized, you'll find even friends and family and members of your own house will frequently become your enemies. That is just the way the psyche beneath reacts to a challenge or threat; we overcompensate and mar G-d's work in us and frequently around us.
It is to be forgiven but hard to live down.
I am fond of desperate housewives...Not in an adulterous way, but in a genuinely compassionate manner, which in times past and in some cases, unfortunately, may have become adulterous, but was never intended from the start.
The reason I say I am fond of them, is that they fight harder than men in most cases to preserve that which preserves home and family in nation. They may fight for all the wrong and frequently selfish, deluded reasons but it is with their hearts that they wage war and in a nation of heartless beasts, they get my praise and devotion far above those men who left their homes to make their marks in the world of a whore.
All is vanity, saith the preacher, and not out of cynicism, but out of passion for a soul's worth and perhaps in an effort to extinguish envy's folly.

Judgment and the Future Belong to God
Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, wickedness was there, and in the place of righteousness, wickedness was there as well. I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for he has appointed a time for every matter, and for every work. 18I said in my heart with regard to human beings that God is testing them to show that they are but animals. For the fate of humans and the fate of animals is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and humans have no advantage over the animals; for all is vanity. All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knows whether the human spirit goes upwards and the spirit of animals goes downwards to the earth? So I saw that there is nothing better than that all should enjoy their work, for that is their lot; who can bring them to see what will be after them?

I do not easily condemn people. They need to ask for and deserve it and I am quicker to forgive than to condemn; measure for measure.
Some people have a way of condemning another or themselves without actually doing so. And sometimes we deserve condemning and we know it, as with the above scenario delineated for clarification.
I would rather restore than cancel out, but there is a Judge and we all face the precisely same One in the end.
Let us be quicker to forgive and long suffering of all offenses with this in mind.
But there is a limit and unforgivable sin to keep in mind and be aware of at all times.
Jeremiah 11:18-20
It was the L-rd who made it known to me, and I knew; then you showed me their evil deeds. 19But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter. And I did not know it was against me that they devised schemes, saying, ‘Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name will no longer be remembered!’ 20But you, O L-rd of hosts, who judge righteously, who try the heart and the mind, let me see your retribution upon them, for to you I have committed my cause.
It's not about being bitter, though many of us may become so when wronged and further afflicted by our own means of dealing with the depression and sadness that ensues...It's just about what's right, and justice being done...I forgive all and I have never stopped moving on...I've had everything and everyone taken from me...And I never missed a step...I just got on with my life...And served as the L-RD's...
I haven't been in a pity pit...Yes, sometimes I give into my weaknesses, and do stupid things, but I'm usually obedient even when I'm not...I have never hurt anyone and never wronged anyone...In the Spirit, I have never broken the Law.
Some things just have no explanation and some burdens are cast upon us of the L-RD's Will be done, and I just accept it that sometimes and often someone must suffer for someone else...That's just the way I am automatically...I know when to take up arms and fight, I know when to lay down my life for another...I know when to hold on despite a world of enemies against me and I know when to let go and give up...
I've been through hell and back many times over...and I'm still on my feet...If it hadn't been the L-RD who held me up, I'd have perished long ago...
3Nephi 21:10 But behold, the life of my servant shall be in my hand; therefore they shall not hurt him, although he shall be marred because of them. Yet I will heal him, for I will show unto them that my wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil.

Sometimes, I get so big in my head and the L-RD makes me important or wisdom blesses me and exalts me, that is usually when others would be taken captive by pride's folly...I go the opposite and make a fool of myself, and allow bad to happen to me, to humble me...Or at least that's what I believe...
You know, one spends a long time, doing all the right things, being sober, prudent, faithful and it's not easy, and I'm just a man and can be as easily enticed by sin as any other...I'm just always ashamed of it, and humbled by my stumbling when I do, and quick to come back to myself...Everything is out of whack in this world...Too few people consider these things, but you know, when one of us is honoured by the L-RD, everyone partakes in the glory of it..

I'm an absurdly meek man when i need to be or feel it appropriate, and I would never harm anyone, enemy or friend, so it is off putting to anyone involved in the fight...whether for good or evil...
Some of the revelations I share with people frighten me and offend them...but the news is ultimately good for all those who believe.
It's a crazy world...I'm doing what I believe in and know to be right.
I like to share my world and my person with others, and am hurt when rejected, and cast out, especially when I have done no wrong, and all those who judged me and cast me out are busy doing so overtime and all the time. It offends my inate sense of Justice but I always move on, and don't get stuck. So never think that is the case. I just walk at the L-RD's pace, and the mad pace of the rat race wont suffer it.

Righteous Judgment is hard to make in the world, people would rather live out their imaginations, no matter how perverse, than deal with reality. Judging people caught in a web of delusions, can be like taking mind altering substances, it forces us out of our comfort zones, shatters our reality, and breaks our hearts.

I am generally a very kind, gentle and patient man; one whom men do not hearken unto easily nor accept the judgments/counsels of, because it does not suit their hungers and makes their way in the world more difficult than they themselves already have made them by their waywardness. I try to remind them of a Way righteous that is impossible in the world of illusion and delusion, but it is the Only Way of Salvation given unto men. Most men judge by the law men set up, because it works, and is quick and easy.
I judge by the Greater Law of G-d which is more exacting and difficult for the Judge than those judged of It, but also far more liberating and equal than the statutes of men.
I’ve permitted myself to be a pushover, and been done wrong in order that I might shine the objective light of G-d upon what is wrong with Us.

I have never missed a slight or wrong, false flattery received or malicious misuse of authority perpetrated against me; I’ve just let it go, and not excused nor fought against it…
This way it does more harm to those who trust in such measures to get what they desire out of the world, and digs their own pit deeper, making their own ways more cumbersome. It is their own faults and they have no one to blame but themselves. But that is the difference between men and boys. Men would never trespass against the greater law to serve a lesser desire.
Swine are a lot alike, and more numerous and widespread than ever before in the history of the world, and for the most part are in charge of meting out justice, which is to say no justice at all. They use force and injustice to get their way, no matter what.
Hel. 7: 4 And seeing the people in a state of such awful wickedness, and those Gadianton robbers filling the judgment-seats—having usurped the power and authority of the land; laying aside the commandments of G-d, and not in the least aright before him; doing no justice unto the children of men
They are of one mind opposed to that of the sheep of G-d’s pasture.
Rev 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Pigheaded and stupid, but cunning and willing to do anything to get ahead and defraud the true sons of the kingdom, for old perversions sakes…which they are like unto in everyway.
Life as the Ungodly See It But the ungodly by their words and deeds summoned death; considering him a friend, they pined away and made a covenant with him, because they are fit to belong to his company.
When they help people, they do so that they may ultimately harm them. It’s just the way whores think. They think anyone who would pay to screw them deserves to be hurt, no matter what the intention were, or if it were innocent. They play “grown up” games with people’s lives, and care not at all about Justice, Righteousness or even kindness…They know that the easiest way to do evil is to seem the opposite and entreat with kindness and niceties, but at the core they are malice and evil incarnate.
Envy and perversity run through their veins, and unspeakable demons rule their beings.
The people, who suffer the most for this evil, are they themselves. Therefore they are completely callous to life authentic, and hate anyone with the patience for reality.
That is the way of the world.
What I have done and did may have saved everyone to an extent and has, whether they wish to admit It or not. Though it seem very little by man’s estimation, G-d pardons a multitude for a single obedient servant’s sake.

It is hard for them because they make sacrifices for an illusion pleasing and they pour their bitter hearts into it, and the costly result can be fantastic on the surface but underneath is the hunger of the grave.
Righteous judgment is HARD and very few men and women have the patience and will for it anymore.
So everyone cheats the scales, accepts whatever tribute they may reap for whatever job they may do, and call this life! It’s Death employed and gainfully so, no more, no less.
If we were a nation that practiced righteousness, an legion of men or angels would come through and annihilate these swine. And hand the kingdom over to the sons of G-d before the next generation of mother’s with badges and swine with guns, ruins yet another generation of sons of G-d.
Isaiah 16:3-5
‘Give counsel, grant justice; make your shade like night at the height of noon; hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive; 4let the outcasts of Moab settle among you; be a refuge to them from the destroyer.’
When the oppressor is no more, and destruction has ceased, and marauders have vanished from the land, 5then a throne shall be established in steadfast love in the tent of David, and on it shall sit in faithfulness a ruler who seeks justice and is swift to do what is right.
Pro 30:7-9 Two [things] have I required of thee; deny me [them] not before I die: Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny [thee], and say, Who [is] the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God [in vain].
1Ti 6:6-12 But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Know whom ye serve… by compulsion. First, it may be of need, but servants usually choose and serve their masters out of love for them, and are shown the same in return, it is more like the Kingdom of Heaven, where slaves or labourers build up the Kingdom together with masters or freemen. Ultimately you are doing what you are doing for someone you love and wish to be with or near... What's done or suffered for His sake, is approved of in Him who is Love, I imagine...

Psalm 84
Which leads us back where we began, The Divine Right Party. As an political, religious ideation; it is an very old conceptualization. It's a very old idea brought back to life for the Latter-days. Begun with the very first First Families, back when holiness mattered I believe that Holy personages ought to reign. The world is very backward and criminal nowadays. Under the government of men, or Beast, women rule and children oppress, or have done so for a season or more, but I believe they will pass and a Divine Right will reign until the end of the world. The former being the consequence of four generations , nearly five now, raised in delusion and misrepresentation. Women do not, and indeed no one can rule in Judaism. They may rule in the world, through whoredoms and merchandise. If a just law were in place, there would be a whole lot of stoning going on right now…. However, women play very powerful roles within the religion of the Jews. It's complicated, and in many ways has been perverted within the ranks of the Jews, to mock the fathers of the religion and empower women and children first.

All this I have tested by wisdom; I said, ‘I will be wise’, but it was far from me. That which is, is far off, and deep, very deep; who can find it out? I turned my mind to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the sum of things, and to know that wickedness is folly and that foolishness is madness. I found more bitter than death the woman who is a trap, whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are fetters; one who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her. See, this is what I found, says the Teacher, adding one thing to another to find the sum, which my mind has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found. See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have devised many schemes.
When their is no Holy Divine Right, justice and judgment are usually left to a Sanhedrin type of council, too many members or Jews beneath, and not sufficient above to hold sway, to stand in the gap and reign, is what creates the imbalance, and inequity naturally follows, then absurdity and corruption flourish.
When we live in the type of world in which we do now, justice is left to a PanSheDen type of council, which is a complete corruption of Law and Justice for all, though “token negroes” are more plentiful than ever. Lesbians, gays, athletes and actors prized above and beyond children of holiness and G-dliness are what happens when women become vessels of seduction rather than wives or helpmates, they come to love themselves...and hate their other halves...they need companionship as much as anyone, and in the tents of the wicked the options grow thin very quickly and so they must reach out and corrupt or poison a well wherever they may and who is to blame is different in each instance. Paul said something about it...
”Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
Seducers, sensualists...People are very keen to use their bodies for pleasure and powers. It's easy, and you don't have to work much. Wherever you see society's like that of "modern day" America, you know, they are founded upon generations of whoredoms, cloaked as otherwise.. Land of dreams, you know… ”Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.” We live in a nation and with a government formed by these dreamers... It's cunning and has it's rewards, but in the end, you are left with mostly Empty Vessels. What's sad, is that like the scriptures teach,”no man saith restore.” Restore people to their rights, men to their heritages, widows to their homes, orphans to their right and any men who have been restored, have had to fight violently for it, which hardens them toward charity and benevolence, love, compassion, what have you and so justice is often absent. We buy and sell, are bought and sold; land of prostitutes, dressed as working men and women. Things will probably get worse...but for some they will have a time of what they want. People are forgetting that there are things they NEED, especially when they have little else i have nothing against prostitutes either...some of the finest hearts and bravest souls have been prostitutes.
Those who paved the roads to reach this new Whorizon, need to remember the saviours who laid down their lives to supply the pavers with life and not continue to pave the road to hell but rather work toward heaven and the reconciliation of all things. Prostitution is wrong but it is to be pardoned, if there is no other way to be or survive. Hearts and souls mean a lot to G-d. A prostitute’s soul can become so perverse and hardened it is bad for her not to mention those who come into contact with her. I'm thinking of somewhere in the scriptures, where an old whore is so worn out with her prostitutions, yet still used, by the men in Israel, and other nations, calloused. What shouldn't happen, does happen. If men were men, it would not happen and what a man is is all but lost to history and lore and perhaps, just as women, men have had to become what they are not and harden their hearts to survive. Excusing neither, but understanding either, there must be a better way made to employ these souls gone astray in the worst way. It's going to be interesting seeing what evolves of this generation... To be a man, means to love and sacrifice, if a man loves a prostitute, it doesn't matter that she is a prostitute, all that matters is that he loves her, and she him... What they do to overcome and help each other and live with this love is what may be the realization of the greatest and only love affair ever realized in this world, but I'm speaking fancifully.
Mar 16:9 Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
Job 31:9-12 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or [if] I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; [Then] let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. For this [is] an heinous crime; yea, it [is] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judges. For it [is] a fire [that] consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
It is hard working miracles with people who don't believe.
Mary believed yet had devils, most likely as a consequence of survival in fallen creation The Messiah didn't even claim to be good...within this context. Even Messiah had to fight overcoming demons within and without. ”Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. “ ~Jesus unto Peter
“Do not give heed to everything that people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you; your heart knows that many times you have yourself cursed others.”~Solomon
Jesus could have done differently. He could have fought, shed blood, reigned as a king.
Jer 17:9 The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?
The devil is the most cunning being in Creation and there must needs be an opposition in all things. Not many people invest in a relationship with a pure heart, most are sociopaths. If among animals carnal lust may even be avoided. How much more must mankind overcome?
The tree in the garden of Eden oppossed to the tree of life; it had to be there, but could be avoided. So, the joy comes from reconciliation. People are devilish by nature. Slow is a good pace to keep, usually wins the race
People take advantage of the pure in heart all the time, sucker born every minute... I note the difference both in myself and others fairly easily these days...but either may be beguiling. It breaks my heart when i see the devil having dominion over a loved one, for instance. Sometimes, we give up on our own fight, just to belong to people, to fit in and make our way in the world, it's crushing...we rebuild ourselves instantaneously and in each moment, rather than submit and be. Abandoning what matters most for what will never matter.Vanity. It is an extreme battle, and one the devil loves to fight in or use to his advantage more than the pure of heart have will to fight at all. If you fight it wrong, you're lost the moment you enlist. But the Just shall live by Faith whether above or beneath.
Deu 4:39 Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thine heart, that the L-RD he [is] G-d in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: [there is] none else.
Deu 28:13 And the L-RD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the L-RD thy G-d, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them]: And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, [to] the right hand, or [to] the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
Especially when cut off, and found out of the Way, recognizing the Way is more important than ever, that and realizing there is but One G-d.
Now, go forth and overcome.

Psa 2:1-12 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the L-RD, and against his anointed, [saying], Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the L-RD hath said unto me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the L-RD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all they that put their trust in him.

Luke 9:58 And Jesus said unto him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head."
Dear _________:
As requested, I am writing you a written statement regarding the notice and intent to evict me from the _______ in __________.
First of all, I have never wanted to live here and it has been a prison sentence brought about by the cunning of the same people what stole my home and heritage from me.
The fact that I have had to pay any rent is a criminal offense. I was forced to by design and ill-intent of others.
I am not sure how much I really owe according to the _______ Housing Authority. One may not be certain, because the executive director, the maintenance man, and others involved in this crime, not the least of whom is the Judge who ruled against me in the case concerning my home, are all corrupt and make up records, defrauding hapless souls as they go along.
___________ has been a modern day Babylon for generations upon them, where whoredoms, theft and murder are a way of survival.
All of _______ was unclean, and toxic. Chief among these unhealthy dwelling spaces has been the _______ . It was a disaster area when I first arrived and I’ve spent three or more years combating this horror. Trying to clean my own space and keep it clean, and myself healthy, has been warfare. The premises are still toxic I believe and no one ought to be forced to live here.
It has cost me more financially just to combat this uncleanness than they require for rent payments on a monthly basis, and I figure I am due back whatever I did pay in rent, never mind what I may owe.
You cannot know the amount of physical and psychological suffering I’ve endured over the past several years. I liken my years at the _______ unto what I imagine a Nazi Concentration Camp might have been like for the Jews.
I am very deaf and disabled. I feed by J-tube, and all my supplies for feeding, etc. must be delivered on a monthly basis to wherever I reside. Therefore it is extremely difficult not only for myself but for others, when I am moved about as often as I may have been over this debacle. And now that after three years, I have finally been able to establish myself; to move me again, would be costly for many parties involved and stupid on many levels. I am not employed and own no automobile. I have no friends or family in the immediate vicinity and must count on someone I consider more enemy than friend; one of the reasons I ended up where I am, for favours such as rides to _______ for vitamins and supplements to my diet.
For these necessities and others I rely on SSI benefits.
I admit I am no reptile and am bad with finances/math.
I would like to be able to attend court on the 28th, but have no way to get there and do not trust the authorities, or Judge _______ , as you may have surmised, and for what I feel are good and valid reasons.
The powers that be in _______ and _______ are deeply corrupt beyond imagining and I am upset about that and have done whatever I might to draw attention to the fact.
Hence the _______ Housing Authority’s real reason for persecuting me.
If I had a choice, I would obviously not be where I am, although I do believe it is G-d’s will and I did enjoy _______ very much when I first moved here, before my home was stolen from me by the design of others. I gradually became aware that the same has happened to more unwary souls than I knew of.
I have been defrauded by wolves in sheep’s clothing.
I don’t want revenge, although Justice should be done. I just want to be left alone and live my life as unharrassed by politics, etc., as possible.
The economy is in the gutter, and no one has an easy time of things right now.
I do not believe it is lawful for any nation’s authority figures – no matter how great nor insignificant they may be – to ask for anything they may not afford themselves. To take from the already burdened and afflicted is criminal.
Last I checked, the National Deficit was somewhere in the trillions of dollars.
I am sorry to say, that from the least of us, unto the greatest, our stimulus checks have been indefinitely withheld and if they’ve arrived, should bounce.
The only citizens who can afford the cost of living in our nation, must therefore, be whores and criminals. I am proud to say, I am not amongst them.
Telling indeed it is, that the local powers that be are more willing to further afflict one whom they’ve already displaced and defrauded – a disabled, half-blind, profoundly deafened, gimp of a man rather than own up to their own folly and admit defeat, and act from a place or stance of honour and truth.
We are a sorry-assed nation of fool’s in any sane individual’s estimation, running on empty, unfit to be refueled.
Hel. 7: 22 And for this cause woe shall come unto you except ye shall repent. For if ye will not repent, behold, this great city, and also all those great cities which are round about, which are in the land of our possession, shall be taken away that ye shall have no place in them; for behold, the Lord will not grant unto you strength, as he has hitherto done, to withstand against your enemies.
If I may be permitted to claim to be the most sane fool ever diagnosed or judged as otherwise, suffer me to boast for an instant, because most of the time, I’ve little else to take pleasure in any longer. Forgive me!
Surely, anyone may see the absurdity of a demand to evict someone who is more prisoner of circumstance than resident and gainful citizen; especially after what I’ve suffered because of the belligerent, costly stupidity and pigheadedness of others.
Yes, I owe some rent. Yes, I will pay what I owe. No, the THA has absolutely no authority to demand or expect me to do so. And this “living arrangement/experience” is certainly not worth paying for.
Nevertheless, I will pay back rent and continue to pay monthly according to my ability to do so, and my judgment of when and wherefore I ought.
It should take me no more than two or three months’s time to recover and bring the account up to date.
No, even though I would like to, I cannot move or be evicted at this time, simply because I cannot afford to nor do I have any other option available to me. And, as I’ve said, I receive medical supplies and have set up other services here at the Court that are necessary to my overcoming all the ills set against me.
You see? The claim of the THA is monstrously, inhumanly absurd, but these are the times we live in.
I do not blame the executive director. I believe she is a terrorized victim herself. I do blame all other parties involved, who shall remain nameless, for ages and generations upon them of political abuse of power, corruption and fraud in _______ and the surrounding cities, unto the entire Nation of the United States.
Know your enemy. It is not I, who have merely suffered whatever insanity the above have put me through.
But, like I say, given the fictional economy we live with, the amount of corruption we live amongst, and the few Lawful options available, it is understandable. We’re all living a lie, and whoever tries to live lawfully and do what is right, makes of himself a prey and will suffer bodily harm and psychic injury as I have.
The Truth is very evil in this case and it is an ancient and deeply rooted evil.
The resultant neglect and maltreatment of many was inevitable and I perhaps caught what was the worst and tail end of it all, here at the _______.
Most of the residents here are guilty of collaboration but had no choice, as trapped prisoners themselves, which they will probably deny.
For instance, the air in the unit I live in was so insufferable and pestilent, during the coldest of months of the winter, that I was forced to keep the windows open to survive. The awful stench and foul air was rising mostly from the apartments beneath me, both tenants being too old to properly care for themselves. I endeavored to further air the space, by opening hallway windows and the maintenance man nailed them shut. He wanted me to suffer and has been a constant threat, both physical and verbal until I started informing the police.
At any rate, I became ill and had to be rushed to the hospital.
The _______ is still unclean and ought to have been condemned by the board of health long ago, if not for the board of hell perpetuating its existence.
These are sadistic individuals, hell bent against the help and care any reasonable person deserves precisely because they oppose any sane, lawful, helpful solutions be available to anyone when they were not available to them.
The executive director may be seven times as incompetent as the maintenance man, but when I first moved here, she seemed to have an heart full of compassion for the residents, not realizing that she were a victim of the same.
Her heart has obviously waxed cold, as have the hearts of most here since the advent of the new authority figure in our midst, but adding terror to affliction never helped anyone overcome or cope with the same.
There are several residents living here as prisoners who have not seemed to pay rent in years. It is enforced sadism, and they use the same as unwilling informants.
I’m not entirely sure what sort of politics of the devil come into play here, but a blind man could tell you _______ is deeply steeped in a mire of ill-intent towards its inhabitants.
I could tell you more but there is no reason to believe you haven’t been bought off yourselves and that this is precisely why you would seek my eviction for reasons that seem legitimate.
So, there you have what you have.
Judge as you may.
In righteousness,
BdG
Eze 7:19-14 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither [shall there be] wailing for them. The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof. For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision [is] touching the whole multitude thereof, [which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life. They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.

Isa 58:6-14
[Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? [Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I [am]. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; And [if] thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness [be] as the noonday: And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].

Nehemiah 9
Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the people of Israel were assembled with fasting and in sackcloth, and with dust on their heads. Then those of Israelite descent separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their ancestors. They stood up in their place and read from the book of the law of the Lord their God for a fourth part of the day, and for another fourth they made confession and worshipped the Lord their God. Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani stood on the stairs of the Levites and cried out with a loud voice to the Lord their God. Then the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, ‘Stand up and bless the Lord your God from everlasting to everlasting. Blessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.’
And Ezra said: ‘You are the Lord, you alone; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. To all of them you give life, and the host of heaven worships you. You are the Lord, the God who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and gave him the name Abraham; and you found his heart faithful before you, and made with him a covenant to give to his descendants the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite; and you have fulfilled your promise, for you are righteous.
‘And you saw the distress of our ancestors in Egypt and heard their cry at the Red Sea. You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people of his land, for you knew that they acted insolently against our ancestors. You made a name for yourself, which remains to this day. And you divided the sea before them, so that they passed through the sea on dry land, but you threw their pursuers into the depths, like a stone into mighty waters. Moreover, you led them by day with a pillar of cloud, and by night with a pillar of fire, to give them light on the way in which they should go. You came down also upon Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments, and you made known your holy sabbath to them and gave them commandments and statutes and a law through your servant Moses. For their hunger you gave them bread from heaven, and for their thirst you brought water for them out of the rock, and you told them to go in to possess the land that you swore to give them.
‘But they and our ancestors acted presumptuously and stiffened their necks and did not obey your commandments; they refused to obey, and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them; but they stiffened their necks and determined to return to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and you did not forsake them. Even when they had cast an image of a calf for themselves and said, “This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt”, and had committed great blasphemies, you in your great mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness; the pillar of cloud that led them in the way did not leave them by day, nor the pillar of fire by night that gave them light on the way by which they should go. You gave your good spirit to instruct them, and did not withhold your manna from their mouths, and gave them water for their thirst. For forty years you sustained them in the wilderness so that they lacked nothing; their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell. And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, and allotted to them every corner, so they took possession of the land of King Sihon of Heshbon and the land of King Og of Bashan. You multiplied their descendants like the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land that you had told their ancestors to enter and possess. So the descendants went in and possessed the land, and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings and the peoples of the land, to do with them as they pleased. And they captured fortress cities and a rich land, and took possession of houses filled with all sorts of goods, hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive orchards, and fruit trees in abundance; so they ate, and were filled and became fat, and delighted in your great goodness.
‘Nevertheless they were disobedient and rebelled against you and cast your law behind their backs and killed your prophets, who had warned them in order to turn them back to you, and they committed great blasphemies. Therefore you gave them into the hands of their enemies, who made them suffer. Then in the time of their suffering they cried out to you and you heard them from heaven, and according to your great mercies you gave them saviours who saved them from the hands of their enemies. But after they had rest, they again did evil before you, and you abandoned them to the hands of their enemies, so that they had dominion over them; yet when they turned and cried to you, you heard from heaven, and many times you rescued them according to your mercies. And you warned them in order to turn them back to your law. Yet they acted presumptuously and did not obey your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances, by the observance of which a person shall live. They turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck and would not obey. For many years you were patient with them, and warned them by your spirit through your prophets; yet they would not listen. Therefore you handed them over to the peoples of the lands. Nevertheless, in your great mercies you did not make an end of them or forsake them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.
‘Now therefore, our God—the great and mighty and awesome God, keeping covenant and steadfast love—do not treat lightly all the hardship that has come upon us, upon our kings, our officials, our priests, our prophets, our ancestors, and all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria until today. You have been just in all that has come upon us, for you have dealt faithfully and we have acted wickedly; our kings, our officials, our priests, and our ancestors have not kept your law or heeded the commandments and the warnings that you gave them. Even in their own kingdom, and in the great goodness you bestowed on them, and in the large and rich land that you set before them, they did not serve you and did not turn from their wicked works. Here we are, slaves to this day—slaves in the land that you gave to our ancestors to enjoy its fruit and its good gifts. Its rich yield goes to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins; they have power also over our bodies and over our livestock at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.’
Those Who Signed the Covenant
Because of all this we make a firm agreement in writing, and on that sealed document are inscribed the names of our officials, our Levites, and our priests.
