glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flash The Light Flash The Light It is 6:18 Thursday evening and I am dead tired from work-work was a killer today! It is a miracle I made it to quiting time! So here I sit a old broken man listening to Mercury Rev and waiting for the night to come-nothing came in the mail for me today-when I got home I cleaned up and ate something-then I wrote in my paper diary and listened to Teenage Fan Club's new CD Howdy-my wife got up to face existence-we talked and then I did the dishes and looked through the morning paper-now I am at my computer reading livejournals and writing in my livejournal. I had a nice visit with my old friend last night-his name is Pat and runs a bookstore up in Canada-we have known each other since we were students at Reformed Bible College-we are both in our late 40's and have families-we are both into books-Pat sells books and I read books-Pat sells used Christian books-also seconds and textbooks at a college in Toronto, Ontario-their families live in Grand Rapids, Mich. so when he is visiting family or buying books to sell we get together or talk over the phone. Pat got to my house around 8:30 and left around 12:30 a.m. we had a good long talk about all kinds of stuff. At work I had the usual crap on my brain-a hard day in my nowhere life. I am glad tomorrow is a Friday the end of another work week. Saturday I have to help move Caleb Jon to his dorm at Michigan State, East Lansing Mich. that should be fun. No day off for this old fart. There is no escape for me. I am very tired but it is too early to go to bed-so what to do is my wasted state? I do not know so I will close to sit blown out. Rev 17 Babylon The Great The Mother of Harlots 1: And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3: So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4: And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6: And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7: And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8: The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9: And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10: And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11: And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12: And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13: These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 14: These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 15: And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 16: And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17: For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18: And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. 7:18 p.m. - 2001-08-23 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
