NOW IS THE MOMENT WE ARE GIVEN

As I prayed this morning, I was a bit overwhelmed by all those that are in need of prayer, and all that is happening in the world right now. Yeshua reminded me of a dream I had many years ago. In the dream, He was explaining to me the element of time. He stood next to me, and pointed out into a grassy field. I was then shown many different time periods playing out in front of me, all of them overlapping, and all of them happening at once, in the very moment we were standing there watching. I could literally see through all of the people, and they were living out their realities, all in the different centuries and places in the world, but it was all happening at once. I was a bit confused, but Yeshua went on to tell me that we only have this moment now. In His Kingdom, there is no passage of time. There is now, and He said we are to learn to only be concerned for this moment of now, that we are not to be anxious over what will happen tomorrow, as tomorrow will have enough worries of its own. He reminded me of this dream as there are so many around the world who are becoming consumed and  focused on world events, and the evil that is rapidly increasing everywhere, that they are forgetting where they are to remain in each and every moment. That moment is the moment of NOW. It's really all we have. We are to leave all else to Him, and get on with advancing the Kingdom of God here and NOW. We are the body, and it is our responsibility to reach as many as we can before His return. There is a great outpouring from Heaven at this time for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see, and it is to be embraced and freely given to any who are willing to receive. Yeshua keeps emphasizing this to me, that WE ARE THE BODY. I hear this over and over and over. I know that I don't want to see Him face to face and regret not surrending more of myself to Him so that others would be led to salvation. I leave you with this today, words Yeshua spoke concerning this.

In Me you move and breathe and have your being. You were all created in One heart. This is a mystery to grasp, you are not separated from one another. There is a constant ebb and flow in My Kingdom that all are a part of. Your experience of this flow is totally dependent upon you and your response to My unconditional love, grace, and mercy poured out each day. I pour into you, you receive in your heart, and in return continue the outpouring upon others. In this way My flow can not be interrupted. When one hurts, all hurt to some degree. When one experiences  joy, all surrounding that one will be affected. Nothing you say or do goes without notice in My Kingdom. This is My design. You were created to be One body and to operate as thus. I call on each of  you to be My voice, My arms and feet, My extension in this place. I will provide the nourishment you need to do this at all times. Embrace this flow with all of your being. You have been given this moment of NOW. Do not be anxious over anything. 

Your Loving King,
Yeshua 

Acts 17:28

King James Version (KJV)

²⁸ 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.

Ephesians 3:16-21

¹⁶ That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
¹⁷ That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
¹⁸ May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
¹⁹ And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
²⁰ Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
²¹ Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

1 Corinthians 12 

¹² For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
¹³ For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many.
¹⁵ If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
¹⁶ And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
¹⁸ But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
¹⁹ And if they were all one member, where were the body?
²⁰ But now are they many members, yet but one body.
²¹ And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
²² Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
²³ And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
²⁴ For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
²⁵ That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
²⁶ And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
²⁷ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

 

Please pray this prayer with me now,

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.

PRAY FOR ISRAEL

My dear readers, I am asking today that you prayer fervently and unceasingly for Israel and her peace and protection. Please pray that our president would do what is biblically commanded and stand behind Israel completely, for Netanyahu to make wise decisions for his country and to allow God to lead him in every moment, for the defeat of Israel's enemies, and for the safety of the innocent civilians on both sides, Jewish and Arab. In Yeshua's name, Amen.

THE DIE IS CAST

It is with an extremely heavy heart that I deliver this particular message. Very seldom do I hear the Father speak, but when He does, it is extremely powerful. I pray now that you truly take to heart what you are hearing, and that you are taking the necessary steps to repent, and purify yourselves before your Creator. I can not stress this enough, pray constantly to be found worthy through the precious blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Mashiach. Stop sinning. Turn to Him in all things. He will hear your cries and redeem you through His Son.

I am an angry and jealous God, and My voice WILL BE HEARD in your land. I am roaring as a lion and My voice will thunder as it sweeps across this country of America. To whom is given much, much is required, and oh how you have disappointed Me. You were a land sanctified and set apart, to be an example of My freeing power. I gave you so much! I blessed you abundantly, because you dedicated yourselves to Me and Me alone. You looked to Me for all your protection and provision, and I blessed you with overwhelming prosperity and riches, riches of My glory. But oh how you have strayed. A capital city that once consecrated this nation to Me now has in it a man who boasts in complete and total defiance, the power of the nation itself, and its accomplishments and technologies, to rise again and rebuild bigger and better after the recent storms of judgement. There have been so very few who have turned to Me in their times of need and acknowledged that I alone have what they are seeking ultimately. You have absolutely NO POWER outside of Me! Instead, I see nothing more than arrogance and pride and rebellion. Your judgements have been in times past, delayed because of the prayers of the faithful interceeding for the masses who continue to mock Me, but this will be no more. My arm of protection has quickly drawn back and you will know that I am not to be mocked. I will allow your nation to implode, and grant unto you your desire. You will reap what has been sown. You believe you have all the answers and are relying on your own strengths to sustain you, repeatedly wallowing in your filth and your sins, and this is nauseating to My nostrils. It is sorrowful to My heart, that My people would choose continually the desires of the flesh that bring nothing more than temporary satisfaction, rather than the desires of My heart, which would bring you peace, joy, and unending love. Your sins of idolatry, greed, pride, fornication, deceit, and murder will be your demise. 
 (At this point, Father shows me His Son Yeshua, standing before me, stripped and bloody and in a great amount of pain. The leaders and soldiers are whipping Him and beating Him and spitting on Him, mocking Him and insulting Him. Then I see them rip off a light linen garment as He winces in agony.)
Do you see what you are doing My people?? You are crucifying My Son again and again and again with your wicked ways. MY SON'S BLOOD WAS WHAT BOUGHT YOUR VERY LIFE FOR ETERNITY AND YET YOU TORTURE HIM DAILY IN YOUR LACK OF OBEDIENCE TO ALL HE REPRESENTS. How long do I look the other way and allow such rebellion and disregard? Tell Me?
(I then see a vision of Yeshua taking his last breath, and the curtain in the temple being torn in two.)
I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CRUCIFY HIM AGAIN! It is done, His sacrifice is complete. I will now tear your nation into two. You are a nation divided in half as the veil in the sanctuary was divided. You will now be vulnerable and weak and needy. You will know at last that you are nothing without Me. The die is cast.
(definition of die is cast: past the point of no return)
To My watchman and My faithful remnant, I tell you, My warnings to this country are coming to a close. There is little more to speak of repentance. The judgements upon you will fall as dominoes, and will not stop until My Word is fulfilled. Of this I promise and I remain always faithful to My Word. You must not cease to pray, for yourselves for more faith, discernment, and wisdom in these times. Pray for all your loved ones for direction, and guidance, and peace that only comes through Me in the coming storms fast approaching. Do not stop interceeding for the lost, the ones given over to darkness. Pray for the courage to stand in the midst of terror reigning. Your people will soon be stripped of their freedoms and their comforts. Your dictator will be exposed very soon for who he really is and who he represents even more so than he already has. Your basic rights as citizens will be questioned and in danger. You will be facing much opposition as you are told that you will not have food for your families unless you comply with this beast system I have allowed to dominate for a time. Do not fear! And do not succumb to the pressure. You will be treated with dissension and disregard by your leaders. Stand firm! Stand in the light of My love, and My provisions. You are not of this world! You belong to My Kingdom, and My Kingdom will reign forever and ever! Remember this always. Look forward to the fast approaching day when you will join countless other saints at My banquet meal, the Marraige Consumation of the Bridegroom and the Bride. All of Heaven is eagerly awaiting that glorious day! I say to you My precious chosen, look up! Your redemption draweth nigh!   

Psalm 7:11

¹¹ God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

Galatians 6:7

King James Version (KJV)

⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Luke 12:48

⁴⁸ But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Luke 21:28

²⁸ And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Matthew 27:50-54

⁵⁰ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
⁵¹ And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
⁵² And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
⁵³ And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
⁵⁴ Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Our Holy Merciful Father, 

We humbly bow before You and Your throne, on our faces and on our knees, imploring You in Your infinite mercy to forgive us. Please Father, lessen the degrees of the judgements because of the prayers of your faithful remnant. Protect us and provide for us as we seek Your face constantly. Bathe us in Your grace, and Your oil of anointing, and prepare our hearts for what is soon to transpire in our lives and the fate of this country of America. We trust You in all things, and we anxiously await the glorious return of Your son Yeshua, and the end of all evil for all time. Thank you for Your son Father, our precious King of Kings Yeshua. Thank you for His blood that redeems us, and that holds the answers to our destiny. In His Holy name we pray, Yeshua, Amen and amen.  

AMERICA HAS CHOSEN

I was praying last night after watching Obama win the election with a very heavy heart. I prayed for undeserved mercy for this nation as a whole, and I heard Spirit speak this:

You have made your choice America. You have kept a godless man in the White House. I now turn you over to yourselves. You are a nation divided, and a nation divided will not stand. Many sorrows are upon you. But though the sorrows may last for a night, My joy will follow quickly. My faithful need not fear, for I am ever faithful and true to bring you through this storm. Hold fast My people. Pray unceasingly. 

Romans 9:15

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁵ For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

¹⁶ So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

¹⁸ Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

Psalm 112

112 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

² His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
³ Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
⁴ Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
⁵ A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
⁶ Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
⁷ He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
⁸ His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
⁹ He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
¹⁰ The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

Psalm 145:18-20

¹⁸ The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
¹⁹ He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
²⁰ The Lord preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

Psalm 30:5

⁵ For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, we must pray without stopping. Our Father will provide and protect His own. His light must be brilliant and steadfast through us as we continue marching into the darkness for a time. We will be the only Yeshua so many now will see. Pray for the lost and the ones giving themselves over to the enemy. Interceed always. I pray for each and every one of you every day. Be strong and of good courage friends. 

 

SATAN'S LAST ASSAULT

I have only just begun to shake the nations and your lands. I am allowing the enemy to assault as never before, but know that My armies in Heaven are ready and waiting for My word to act. The greatest battle of all time is being waged for the destination of souls. I am separating the righteous from the unrighteous, and you must pray like never before for these who are walking in darkness and despair. My grace is like rain as it pours out over a people who must choose now the way of eternal life or suffer irrevocable consequences. It is My unconditional love and favor for you, and you need only accept this truth, as your works will not earn you a place within the Kingdom.

(I'm being shown at this point a picture of a flower in three different phases. The first is a bud which has not blossomed, the second an open flower, and the third a dying and wilting flower. Yeshua explains:)

My grace (like rain), is being poured out upon all. It falls on the budding believer, bathing him and encompassing him so that he may blossom into a relationship with Me. This same grace also falls on the blooming flower, its petals outstretched, and this believer absorbs My outpouring of grace and allows it to flow down to the stem, ultimately the root, and out to the ends of the petals, flowing outwards to others unhindered. Lastly this grace pours out on the wilting flower, the weary and discouraged believer, who feels he can not endure to the end. As I pour this grace here, it drips off the wilting flower petals, stripping with it the cares of the world, the sin that prevents us from walking hand in hand, and then flows into the ground, taking with it the seed of new life and yet a new season has now begun for this believer, a fresh beginning, as the old dies and fades away.  Do not underestimate what you can and will accomplish with this grace flowing through you in the dark days ahead. I will manifest powerfully through each one of you. My light will penetrate even the deepest and darkest of souls to bring them into union with Me. I alone as their Creator know that in which each is purposed for in My eternal plan. It is through this breaking and crumbling that souls are drawn back to their original origin, Me. Do you understand that this must be so? I am renewing and reshaping all things. A new day is dawning as you approach the end of this age. Be not afraid for I have gone to prepare a place for you. But I am coming back very, very soon  for you. I always let My faithful know what I am doing. You are always being prepared for what is to come. This is how I love My own. Hear My voice. Come to the fountain of living water and you will thirst no more. I am moving quickly now, stay in My flow. Humble thyself in the sight of your Mighty King. Repent of all your sins and totally surrender all to Me. 

Ephesians 2:8-9

King James Version (KJV)

⁸ For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
⁹ Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Psalm 104:30

³⁰ Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth

 

Jeremiah 17:13

¹³ O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.

Revelation 7:17

¹⁷ For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Revelation 21:5

⁵ And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

James 4:10

¹⁰ Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

 

Revelation 22:12

¹² And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Matthew 28:20

²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

 

 

As I was thinking of how He is purifying and refining, the Holy Spirit has revealed more to me as to how this will look in the physical.  As Father is separating out His chosen, those that walk in the darkness, even the lukewarm, will begin to manifest characteristics of the devil. They will most times do this unknowingly, as their very soul is making a choice between light and dark. Behaviors and demeanors thought to have been overcome or lost in the past will suddenly resurface and manifest, as Father is attempting to get that soul to purge, to cleanse, to purify the heart in advance of His coming.  He is literally sifting through the depths of that spirit, and forcing up and out, all the hidden areas of the heart that do not glorify Him. This soul will either allow the burning away of all that is dark, or be given over to it. This battle that has been raging around them in the spiritual will start to manifest physically and visably.

What our position is to be while this is happening is complete surrender of ourselves to Him, full body armor on and fastened tightly!!! We are to be in constant warfare prayer as these souls literally experience the battle for their souls. You/We are witnessing the battle between the angels and the demons for their eternal destination. It is going to be the most serious warfare we participate in but also the most crucial, as souls very eternal outcome hangs in the balance. Pray for discernment especially, and wisdom, and stand in the light!!! We must not hesitate to be bold and courageous for what we know is truth and light, Yeshua. This is the fight for those souls that is truly the only one that matters into eternity, and we are called to interceed for these lost ones. Only Father knows the heart motives of an individual person, and what needs to be done to bring that soul back into alignment with Him. Remember too, as this is so important, most times, WE ARE THE ONLY LIGHT THAT SOUL WILL SEE WHILE FIGHTING THIS ETERNAL FIGHT! WE CAN NOT COMPROMISE IN ANY WAY IN OUR WALK!

CRY OUT TO ME

While praying this morning, I was asking Yeshua why so many people continue to ignore Him even amongst so much tribulation and suffering. I don't watch TV, but I did turn it on yesterday to see the damage Hurricane Sandy was doing, and what the response of some were to this storm. It brought tears to my eyes, to turn back and forth to the different news channels, and listen to reporters as well as everyday people, using phrases like "we were so lucky", or "don't worry, we'll simply rebuilt bigger and better next time". Another comment on MSNBC was "we have to stop focusing on the local disaster and concentrate on getting these markets back up and running". Everywhere I turned, there was not one mention of turning to God, being blessed at still being alive, or still having a house to live in, just nothing even remotely suggesting that a greater power was responsible for attempting to get the attention of a people grown cold and hard-hearted towards Him. Some were going so far as to say that our candidates Obama and Romney were using this disaster for political means as they spoke or reached out to the hurting. Do we ever stop? Our God is so merciful, yet there must be justice at our blatant ignorance to even acknowledge His existence. It is not a coincidence that this storm struck the heart of our nation, as God is beckoning us to turn our hearts back to Him (as a nation). Yet how many will respond to Him? How many will take this as their wake-up call to get their spiritual houses in order? While listening as Yeshua expressed how He is moving throughout the land, this is what I feel He wants all to hear:

I have spoken to you recently of shaking souls, of removing the scales of hidden sins and ways of life that are not in accord with My ways. I am not only shaking individual hearts through refinement to bring about this purification, but you are also experiencing a purification of your lands, your society, your foundations. I am uprooting all that does not have receive its nourishment from Me. All that is not of Me MUST be brought down. I have targeted the heart of your country as I am targeting your heart at this time. I want you to know that it is I you must turn to in your need. Cry out to Me! All that is built on false ideals and belief systems is coming down! How can you not see this? I warn and I warn, always in My infinite mercy, that your hearts have grown cold and you no longer seek Me as a nation. I give ample time for repentance, yet your walls of resistance remain standing. You grow ever more obstinate at My pleas. Oh the pride of America and how she disregards the blessings I have bestowed upon her. She will know pain and suffering because of this disobedience. I will give you over to that which you crave, and the end result will be desolation, darkness and emptiness. My people if you could only remove the veil for an instant from before your eyes and see the great beauty which I have prepared for those who love Me and accept My invitation. You are like the wedding guests who after receiving the King's invitation, not once, not twice, but three times deny even attending My banquet. And those of you who may come begrudgingly in words only are hypocrites, insulting Me more than those who simply ignore Me. You come and profess Me with your lips, but you refuse to wear the wedding garment and truly put on Christ as your garment. I must strip all that is familiar, all that is comfortable, and all that you depend on for sustenance if there is any hope of you returning to Me. Some will lose all to gain Me. But oh the glory that awaits those precious souls. I ask again in My infinite mercy. Forsake all and run towards Me. I alone will sustain you. I alone hold all you require. Let me care for you as only your Creator can. Lay down your idols and your pride. Take My hand and I will lead you home.

Lamentations 3

King James Version (KJV)

3 I Am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

² He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
³ Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.
⁴ My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
⁵ He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
⁶ He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
⁷ He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
⁸ Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
⁹ He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
¹⁰ He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
¹¹ He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
¹² He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
¹³ He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
¹⁴ I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
¹⁵ He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
¹⁶ He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
¹⁷ And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
¹⁸ And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord:
¹⁹ Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
²⁰ My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
²¹ This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
²² It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
²³ They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
²⁴ The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
²⁵ The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
²⁶ It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
²⁷ It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
²⁸ He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
²⁹ He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
³⁰ He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
³¹ For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
³² But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
³³ For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
³⁴ To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth.
³⁵ To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
³⁶ To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
³⁷ Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
³⁸ Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
³⁹ Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
⁴⁰ Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.
⁴¹ Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
⁴² We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
⁴³ Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
⁴⁴ Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
⁴⁵ Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
⁴⁶ All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
⁴⁷ Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
⁴⁸ Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
⁴⁹ Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission.
⁵⁰ Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
⁵¹ Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
⁵² Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
⁵³ They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
⁵⁴ Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
⁵⁵ I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.
⁵⁶ Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
⁵⁷ Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
⁵⁸ O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
⁵⁹ O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
⁶⁰ Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
⁶¹ Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me;
⁶² The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
⁶³ Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
⁶⁴ Render unto them a recompence, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.
⁶⁵ Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
⁶⁶ Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord.

Matthew 22

22 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

² The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
³ And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
⁴ Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
⁵ But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
⁶ And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
⁷ But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
⁸ Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
⁹ Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
¹⁰ So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
¹¹ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
¹² And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
¹³ Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
¹⁴ For many are called, but few are chosen.

Mark 7:6

⁶ He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
