The word and the voice of God

[Casey Butler]

But... Too bad neither it, nor I, can raise the dead.

Only God can do that Cacey Butler.
So I guess I'll start 'digging graves'!

Gully

Yes, "We The People" are fast perfecting our machinery for that, we've gotten very good.... Here's to marksman badges for all.

Sail on, sail on, Almighty Ship of State...

I'm off to search out new beachheads, Gully. Got a woman on my mind... Simper fi and stay well, my good friend.

The above is a metaphorical composite photograph of the sixth Lamp on the Candlestick, the sixth Spirit "before God's throne", called the Church of Philadelphia.

Please listen, this is her message, recorded so long ago, before my birth interrupted her:

Please listen, this is her favorite song:

This is Jesus' message to every one of you, this Church of Brotherly Love:

"And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;"

"I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name."

"Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."

"Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."

"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."

"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, (which is) new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and (I will write upon him) my new name."

"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." [KJV-Bible - Revelation 3:7-13]

Your door has been opened. You already know the Name of Jesus' God, and the name of the New Jerusalem, and you know Jesus' new Name.

You called me a "teenybopper". But I would never disparage you, for you all are certain to attain the New Jerusalem. You wouldn't listen to my Vanilla Fudge albums, when I said:

I want the good, good good livin'
I'm tired of wars
And I'm tired of fights
And I want everything
To have its rights
Now come on people
Don't turn your backs
Let's get together
And start talkin' facts

You broke up, and I broke up. But all that is water under this bridge.

Oh, brothers and sisters, thank you for this priceless jewel you sewed into my robe that night when I was drunk on creme de menthe and cheap wine.

Then you proceeded to teach me everything about my Father that I needed to know, and His Love, working by my side all the time when I didn't even know you. It went exactly like this:

Deep in the back woods
I went walking one day
No one to guide me
And I lost my way
There through the trees
From the valley below
Beautiful voices were singing
And it did my heart so good.

Now I'm not God, but I am One with God, as Jesus is One with God and as You are One with me and Jesus, Father.

I love you all so much, this whole planet of marvelous unique Creations, no matter who you are. My Father has given me EVERYTHING He ever created, and He has promised that EVERYTHING of mine that I ask Him to save HE WILL SAVE from this hell we have subdued our earth into.

Moses, my Friend and my Love, from the firstfruits of the Gentiles: Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

To us all, Please listen to My God and Your God:

"Tell ye, and bring (them) near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? (who) hath told it from that time? (have) not I the LORD? and (there is) no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; (there is) none beside me.

"Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I (am) God, and (there is) none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth (in) righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear."

"Surely, shall (one) say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: (even) to him shall (men) come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory." [KJV-Bible - Isaiah 45:21-25]

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.

I Love you ALL, and you will live forever. Forgive me if my words ever frighten you, they are meant to assure you with my certainty.

Thank you Nightengale. I love you and your music.

But my song I'm singing today, along with the Song of Moses, is below, and I hope all will join in four-part harmony everywhere all over the place:

"Look at me Leonard, through the glass clearly..."

You'll get it soon. I wish with all my heart I could give it to you. But you aren't looking where it comes from yet.

Ishmael is my Father's trial, and the Seven Most Often Repeated Verses In The World are before His throne continually:

1. In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
2. Praise be to God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds;
3. Most Gracious, Most Merciful;
4. Master of the Day of Judgment.
5. You do we worship, and Your aid we seek.
6. Show us the straight way,
7. The way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.

We'll see what my Father does.

Happy Mother's Day, everyone, may our Hearts Communicate clearly, openly, and lovingly to one another soon...

[Casey Butler]

To summarize everything I've tried to communicate in this thread, in a nutshell:

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

We are all perfect as we are, but RING THE BELLS that still can ring.

There is a crack in our Liberty Bell, Philadelphia, come alive and ring what you already know. I mean, if I'm ringing any bells in your mosque of memory, it's because I've burst through the Sounds of Silence...

Have you ever stood close to a bell when it's ringing? You are now.

Take out your wallets, examine what written on the back of that dollar bill. Whose Inscription and Image do you see? Caesar has no clothes on. "Render unto God the things which are God's".

Gain victory over your Mark you must use to buy and sell, and the number of your name.

That's why I've been put in this place, a total fool living above the most beautiful family in Hollywood, maybe in all of California, with my foolish grin, seeing day after day.

She's made the whole world into Mordecais. Now she's asking us to bow down?

We're all unique, proud, intelligent, moral, loving, we all cling to our traditions and our customs and our versions of her God just like she does, and it's all because of her.

Isn't that success enough? Let's just skip the judgment part. Jesus taught us how to do that, and yet still retain our individuality as the Salt of the Earth. Today we are as she is.

How much bloodshed would have been avoided if Mordecai had simply bowed down to Haman? But Mordecai had a point to make.

Today the point is moot, isn't it? WE ARE WHAT WE ARE?

It is written: "And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach." [KJV-Bible - Isaiah 4:1]

Jesus said: "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out." [KJV-Bible - John 12:31]

2000 years of bloody judgment of one another. I had a dream of an old woman on a stretcher, bandaged, with an IV in her arm. She reached out to me and she said:

"I need a Victory".

So I thought this thought tonight while grinning foolishly with the world spinning underneath me.

Let's skip the judgment step like we've always been taught. Let's show her the genius of Esther, and give her a bloodless Victory for once.

It's easy, everybody just stops, those with money feed those without, for as long as it takes. Let's all become homeless.

Let's all become Jesus, her Prophet who Testified to the Truth about I AM.

Someone fairly close to me is what I would generally call a religious fanatic, and for the sake of this post, I'll call him Uncle. He recently forwarded an email that included a diagram of the molecule laminin. Laminins are cell-adhesion proteins - they're involved with keeping your cells stuck together so you don't just fall into a blob of junk on the floor, which would be a big drag. The thing about laminins is that they're shaped like the cross, or like a lowercase t. Uncle found some kind of meaning in the idea that our cellular glue is shaped like one of Jesus' symbols, and after citing a few Bible verses, the conclusion was that God holds us together, and he's giving us signs of this in our science.

I was talking to a friend about it, and for the sake of this post, I'll call her Nelly. I said that I was tempted to tell Uncle that Rhino penises also have a cruciform cross-section, and challenge him to tell me what Jesus has to do with Rhino penises.

Nelly said that religious fanatics feel that they have come upon some great news, and that they have a need to share great news, just like when I read a great poem, and bring it to her. And now I don't know what to say to Uncle. Because we don't have the same way of thinking about these things.

[hydriot]

And now I don't know what to say to Uncle.

Smile sweetly and change the subject.

[Casey Butler]

Smile sweetly and change the subject.

That's everything I've been saying in one sentence.

"Honey draws more flies than vinegar."

"Faith moves Mountains better than Water." :-)

"If brains were boots I'd be barefoot up to my knees."

And now that Adam knows the difference between Good and Evil, he has set Eve free.

Sorry, Alzheimer's is setting in... I forgot one:

"Actions speak louder than Words."

That one hasn't been tested yet, though. Here's to the Test... :-)

Casey

[Casey Butler]

I think the communication problem might be attributable to the following command:

"Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite (thine) hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it (is) the sword of the great (men that are) slain, which entereth into their privy chambers." [KJV-Bible - Ezekiel 21:14]

Now any programmer knows that if you logically OR any bit, the bit reads 0 instead of 1. But ORed yet again, the bit value is restored, the original value returned.

I love Ezekiel chapter 21, one of the sweetest prophecies I know of. it's about a turning point.

"And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,

"Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high."

"I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him." [KJV-Bible - Ezekiel 21:25-27]

He's coming, He's coming... Been a long time.

A Song of Sherwood
Alfred Noyes

Sherwood in the twilight, is Robin Hood awake?
Grey and ghostly shadows are gliding through the brake,
Shadows of the dappled deer, dreaming of the morn,
Dreaming of a shadowy man that winds a shadowy horn.

Robin Hood is here again: all his merry thieves
Hear a ghostly bugle-note shivering through the leaves,
Calling as he used to call, faint and far away,
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.

Merry, merry England has kissed the lips of June:
All the wings of fairyland were here beneath the moon,
Like a flight of rose-leaves fluttering in a mist
Of opal and ruby and pearl and amethyst.

Merry, merry England is waking as of old,
With eyes of blither hazel and hair of brighter gold:
For Robin Hood is here again beneath the bursting spray
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.

Love is in the greenwood building him a house
Of wild rose and hawthorn and honeysuckle boughs:
Love is in the greenwood, dawn is in the skies,
And Marian is waiting with a glory in her eyes.

Hark! The dazzled laverock climbs the golden steep!
Marian is waiting: is Robin Hood asleep?
Round the fairy grass-rings frolic elf and fay,
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.

Oberon, Oberon, rake away the gold,
Rake away the red leaves, roll away the mould,
Rake away the gold leaves, roll away the red,
And wake Will Scarlett from his leafy forest bed.

Friar Tuck and Little John are riding down together
With quarter-staff and drinking-can and grey goose-feather.
The dead are coming back again, the years are rolled away
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.

Softly over Sherwood the south wind blows.
All the heart of England hid in every rose
Hears across the greenwood the sunny whisper leap,
Sherwood in the red dawn, is Robin Hood asleep?

Hark, the voice of England wakes him as of old
And, shattering the silence with a cry of brighter gold
Bugles in the greenwood echo from the steep,
Sherwood in the red dawn, is Robin Hood asleep?

Where the deer are gliding down the shadowy glen
All across the glades of fern he calls his merry men--
Doublets of the Lincoln green glancing through the May
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day--

Calls them and they answer: from aisles of oak and ash
Rings the Follow! Follow! and the boughs begin to crash,
The ferns begin to flutter and the flowers begin to fly,
And through the crimson dawning the robber band goes by.

Robin! Robin! Robin! All his merry thieves
Answer as the bugle-note shivers through the leaves,
Calling as he used to call, faint and far away,
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.
