As, like and similar to the fact that His godly and divine power and might, ability to perform miracles and capability, force and influence to do mighty deeds, authority and significance, competence and excellence has given and granted, conferred, bestowed, gifted and presented to us all things, individually and collectively, that are to the advantage of and with regards to life and continued existence, and reverence, respect and proper attitude and relationship to the Supreme One, through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of the precise and correct knowledge, perception and discernment, intellectual understanding, acknowledgement and insight of the One Who has called and invited, addressed and summoned us through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of His glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty, and virtue and wonderful manifestation of power, moral excellence and eminence, honourable thoughts, feelings and actions, uprightness and goodness, valour, merit and glorious deeds, wonders and miracles, through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of Whom the most honoured and venerated, esteemed and highly regarded, valued and respected, prized and treasured, and greatest and strongest, mightiest and most powerful, most important and prominent, intense, extraordinary and outstanding promises and gracious pledges, offers and vows have been given and granted, conferred, bestowed, gifted and presented to all of us, so that, in order that and with the result that through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of these promises, you may come to be and exist, arise, appear and originate as partners and companions, fellows and friends, communions, associates and relations of godly and divine nature and character, power and force, condition and origin, having fled and safely escaped the corrupt and destructive, morally depraved and dead, decayed and ruined, seductive and evil desires and cravings, lusts and longings, coveting, impulses and passions that are within and inside the world and cosmos, the entire realm of man. Moreover, for this same reason and fact as well, having applied and brought, introduced and contributed all individual and collective diligence and earnestness, zeal and eagerness, devotion and care, enthusiasm and attention, exertion and willingness, you are to abundantly supply and furnish, present and provide, give, grant and bestow further the virtue and wonderful manifestation of power, moral excellence and eminence, honourable thought, feeling and action, uprightness and goodness, valour, merit and glorious deed in, by and with your trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One, and the virtue and wonderful manifestation of power, moral excellence and eminence, honourable thought, feeling and action, uprightness and goodness, valour, merit and glorious deed in, by and with precise and correct knowledge, perception and discernment, intellectual understanding and insight; and precise and correct knowledge, perception and discernment, intellectual understanding and insight in, by and with self-control and power, inner authority and mastery, continence and temperance; and self-control and power, inner authority and mastery, continence and temperance in, by and with consistency and steadfast endurance, cheerful loyalty and load carrying capability, perseverance and patience; and consistency and steadfast endurance, cheerful loyalty and load carrying capability, perseverance and patience in, by and with reverence, respect and proper attitude and relationship with the Supreme One; and reverence, respect and proper attitude and relationship with the Supreme One in, by and with love and benevolence, kindness and affection for the brothers and fellow brethren; and the love and benevolence, kindness and affection for the brothers and fellow brethren in, by and with brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence. For this reason, if these things continually exist and are performed, possessed and at disposal, at hand and belong to, are set down and arise, spring up and are stored in all of you, and are increasing and abounding greater, multiplying and growing, overflowing and preponderating, they do not set you down or place, put or appoint, install or assign, constitute or render, exhibit or declare, show or make, bring or designate you as idle or lazy, useless or unprofitable, worthless or careless, ineffective or inactive, neither do they appoint you as fruitless or useless, unproductive or unrewarding, resultless or unprofitable, barren or ineffective towards, for or on behalf of the full and complete, whole and total, precise and correct knowledge, perception and discernment, intellectual understanding, acknowledgement and insight of our Sovereign Master*, Yahushua* the Anointed Messiah*. For this reason, whoever does not have these things present or at hand, ready or in store, lacking them and not having them, that person is and exists as mentally blind and stupid, ignorant and ineffective, unsuccessful and unintelligent who is slow to understand and incapable of comprehending, being near-sighted and unable to know or have perception or knowledge, forgetting and losing sight of, ignoring and being oblivious to the fact that he or she had received and accepted, taken and seized, acquired and collected, grasped and obtained, chosen and selected, claimed and procured, apprehended and admitted the cleansing and purification, purgation and washing of his or her old, previous and former sins and errors, misses of the mark and mistakes, the violations of the Torah of the Supreme One and the wanderings from the Way and from the state of uprightness. Therefore, for this reason and for this purpose, brothers and fellow brethren, be much more willing and ready to be active and zealous, quick and assiduous, earnest and diligent, endeavouring and being devoted, eager and in a hurry to make every effort to make and perform, accomplish and execute, practise and bring about, keep and carry out, construct and establish, manufacture and create, form and produce, appoint and ordain, undertake and prepare, constitute and provide your call and address, summons and invitation, and selection and election, picking out and choosing, your relationship with the Supreme One based on choice as trustworthy and certain, firm and reliable, verifiable and stable, dependable and guaranteed, steadfast and enforced, established and validated, for the reason that choosing to do and perform, accomplish and execute, practise and bring about, undertake and create, keep and carry out, construct and establish, form and produce, appoint and ordain, celebrate and constitute these things, all of you may never, ever, now or at any point in time, be caused to stumble or err, trip up or fail, make mistakes, blunder or sin. For this reason, in this manner and way, thus and so, the acceptance and welcome, access and entrance, privilege and reception that goes into the eternal and never ending, everlasting and perpetual kingdom and royal power, rule and dominion, authority and kingship of our Sovereign Master* and Deliverer and Preserver, Protector, Saviour and Rescuer, Yahushua* the Anointed Messiah*, shall be richly and abundantly, greatly and generously supplied and furnished, presented and provided, given, granted and bestowed to all of you. Through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of Whom, I shall always and perpetually, incessantly, continually and at all times be about to and am destined to, determined and intend to, certain and expect to, shall and will remind all of you and recall to your mind, hint about and bring up to all of you about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to these things. Although, since and because you have also seen and perceived, observed and witnessed, known and experienced, recognised and respected, understood and taken note of, comprehended and discerned, paid attention to and discovered, noticed and examined, inspected and beheld them, and have been strengthened and grounded, persevered and supported, fixed and confirmed, stabilised and set, established and given a firm footing in, by and with this present and possessive reality and disclosure, expression and certainty, uprightness and dependableness, genuineness and reliability, sincerity and honesty of truth that has arrived and is at hand, I nevertheless still think and consider, seem and deem, reckon and regard it to be righteous and just, upright and virtuous, faultless and guiltless, fair, approved and accepted, as one who is in a right relationship with the Supreme One, as long as and on the basis of time that I am and exist within and inside this certain tabernacle and tent, body and dwelling place, temple and habitation where my soul resides, to awake and raise, stir all of you up and agitate you, render all of you active and stimulate your minds, souls and rouse you up in, by and with a reminding and mentioning of it, refreshing your memory concerning it and making you recall it, seeing and perceiving, observing and witnessing, knowing and experiencing, recognising and respecting, understanding and taking note of, comprehending and discerning, paying attention to and discovering, noticing and examining, inspecting and beholding that concerning this, the putting off and removal, getting rid of and laying aside of my tabernacle and tent, body and dwelling place, temple and habitation where my soul resides is and exists and imminent and coming soon, impending and near at hand, just as and exactly as our Sovereign Master*, Yahushua* the Anointed Messiah*, has also made it known and declared it by relating, indicated and signified, imparted knowledge of and demonstrated, shown and given evidence of, revealed and explained, clarified and made it plain to me. But nevertheless, I shall be active and zealous, quick and assiduous, earnest and diligent, endeavour and be devoted, eager and in a hurry to make every effort that together with and after my way out and exodus, departure, end and death, all of you may have and hold, acquire and receive, regard and count, enjoy and inhabit, bear and uphold, guard and protect, cleave and cling to, depend and rely on, support and sustain, grip and embrace, entertain and keep, own and possess the ability to make and perform, accomplish and execute, practise and bring about, keep and carry out, construct and establish, manufacture and create, form and produce, appoint and ordain, undertake and prepare, constitute and provide a memory and remembrance, mention, record and recollection of these things always and at all times.
Prophecy and False Prophets

For this reason, we did not follow or join ourselves to, accompany or copy, conform to or imitate, yield to the supposed authority of or comply with, obey or closely sided with craftily created or artificially invented, contrived or devised, crafted or formulated, concocted or cunningly taught deceitful and destructive myths and fables, fictional narrations and legends, falsehoods and purposes, designs and plans, untrue proverbs and tales, stories and made-up ideals, accounts and statements, reports and unauthenticated plots when we made known and declared, revealed and communicated, told and gave recognition, imparted and confirmed, impressed and proclaimed to all of you the power and might, ability and capability, force and influence, authority and significance, competence and excellence, and the presence and advent, coming and arrival of our Sovereign Master*, Yahushua* the Anointed Messiah*, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, we had come to be and existed, arisen, appeared and originated as eyewitnesses and overseers, inspectors and spectators, observers and watchers of that Certain Specific Persons greatness and majesty, magnificence and visible splendour, importance and prominent power, glory and grandeur. Affirming and confirming this, having received and accepted, took and seized, acquired and collected, grasped and obtained, chosen and selected, claimed and procured, apprehended and admitted price and value, high evaluation and estimation, worth and esteem, recognition and honour, reverence and respect, dignity and great status, regard and high distinction, and glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty in the immediate presence of and besides, in the intimate space and proximity, with and from God* the Father*, such a great and noble, distinct and special sound, tone and voice was brought forth and borne, endured and expressed, upheld and carried, sustained and established, led and presented, produced and directed to Him by, under and subject to the power and control of the Magnificent and Wonderful, Befitting and Majestic, Splendid and Great, Excellent and Sublime, Resplendent and Glorious, Noble and Generous, Splendorous and Honourable Glory and Splendour, Magnificence and Excellence, Pre-eminence and Dignity, Brightness, Favour and majesty: “This is and exists as My Son, My Beloved and Esteemed, Dearly loved and Highly regarded One, for and on behalf of Whom I am well pleased and delighted, have taken pleasure in and considered to be good, Whom I have willingly determined and decided, preferred and favourably chosen.” And this certain specific sound, tone and voice which was brought forth and borne, endured and expressed, upheld and carried, sustained and established, led and presented, produced and directed from out of heaven, the abode of the Supreme One, was the one which We ourselves heard and attended to, considered and understood, comprehended and perceived, paid attention to and listened to when we were and existed together with Him in, by and with the set-apart and cleansed hill and mountain. We also have and hold, acquire and receive, regard and count, enjoy and inhabit, bear and uphold, guard and protect, cleave and cling to, depend and rely on, support and sustain, grip and embrace, entertain and keep, own and possess something even more trustworthy and certain, firm and reliable, verifiable and stable, dependable and guaranteed, steadfast and enforced, established and validated: the prophetic and proclaimed, announced and preached, predicted and divinely inspired word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter, to which you all do and perform, accomplish and execute, practise and bring about, undertake and create, keep and carry out, construct and establish, form and produce, appoint and ordain, celebrate and constitute that which is good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, pure and dependable, virtuous and honourable to pay attention to and direct all your minds towards, apply and attach yourselves to, devote and hold on to, cleave and cling yourselves to, as, like and similar to a lamp, light and torch shining brilliantly and shedding light, appearing bright and resplendent, making things evident and manifesting them, causing them to appear in plain view, exposing them and making them known and clearly seen within and inside a dark and miserable, lightless and dirty, destitute and filthy, dismal and gloomy place and space, spot and area, territory and location, up until the time when a day and time period may shine through and break through the darkness of night, and a Light Bringer may arise and dawn, bring forth light and grow, shine and be illuminated within and inside all of your hearts, your circulation of life that controls your desires and feelings, affections and endeavours, wills and characters, passions and impulses, knowing and understanding, perceiving and realising, noticing and discerning, discovering and observing, experiencing and ascertaining, learning about and distinguishing, judging and thinking about, comprehending, acknowledging and recognising this firstly and chiefly, principally and most importantly, that concerning this, all individual and collective prophecy and proclamation, announcement and preaching, prediction and speaking forth by divine inspiration that has been written and recorded, inscribed and composed in Scripture does not come to be or exist, arise, appear or originate as an individual or unique, separate or peculiar, distinctive, personal or private revelation or unloosing, understanding or interpretation, determination or explanation, exposition or solution. For this reason, no prophecy or proclamation, announcement or preaching, prediction or speaking forth by divine inspiration, declaring the thoughts of the Supreme One in the presence of and before mankind, was brought forth or borne, endured or expressed, upheld or carried, sustained or established, led or presented, produced or directed by the will or purpose, desire or choice, mind or wish, purposeful intent or decision, gracious disposition or good pleasure, decree or law, precept or inclination of men and other human being then or at any time, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, men and human beings spoke, uttered and declared words and speech, language and thoughts from God* as their source and origin, being brought forth and borne, endured and expressed, upheld and carried, sustained and established, led and presented, produced ____________

and directed by, under and subject to the power and control of the Set-Apart and Cleansed Spirit* • However, lying and deceitful, purposefully misleading and intentionally false prophets who create and preach falsehoods, myths and perverse ideas and fallacies, claiming that they are from the Supreme One, also came to be and existed, arose, appeared and originated within and among the people and tribe, clan and family, as, like and similar to the way lying and deceitful, purposefully misleading and intentionally false teachers, explainers and instructors who hold discourses and discussions to install doctrine and create and preach falsehoods, myths and perverse ideas and fallacies, claiming that they are from the Supreme One, shall also be and exist within and among all of you, who shall secretly and craftily, cunningly and slyly introduce and bring in, bring forward and smuggle complete and utter destructive and ruining, wasteful and obliterating, perishing and annihilating, squandering and deteriorating dissections and divisions, disunities and factions, religious parties and sects based on different and false teachings, dogmas and opinions deliberately conspired to mislead, schemes chosen to lead people astray and so destroy them and cause them to be lost, even denying and refusing, rejecting and abnegating, abjuring and disregarding, renouncing and declining to accept the Ruler and Owner, Possessor and Sovereign, the One Whom bought and purchased, acquired and obtained, redeemed and set free, ransomed and released, delivered and liberated, rescued and saved them, bringing upon and setting, leading and laying on, applying and procuring for themselves quick and swift, imminent and speedy destruction and complete and utter ruin and waste, obliteration and annihilation. Also, many numerous and large amounts of people shall follow after and joined themselves to, accompany and copy, conform to and imitate, yield to the supposed authority of and comply with, obey and closely side with them, becoming a member of their party and disciples of their debaucheries and unbridled lusts, licentiousness and voluptuousness, outrageousness and wantonness, shamelessness and insolences, through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of whom the Way and Road, Path and Route of the reality and disclosure, expression and certainty, uprightness and dependableness, genuineness and reliability, sincerity and honesty of Truth shall be blasphemed and lied about, maliciously slandered and abusively spoken about, injuriously reproached and vilified, personally mocked and insulted, reviled and defamed. Then in, by and with greed and avarice, covetousness and insatiableness for more than what is needed and what is due, materialism and lustfulness, they shall cheat and exploit all of you, trade all of you like merchandised traffic and use all of you for their own personal advantage and gain through fabricated and formed, moulded and forged, invented and constructed, lying and deceitful, false and degenerate, counterfeit and made-up, artificial and feigned, hypocritical and untrue words and sayings, messages and statements, declarations and thoughts, instructions and teachings, decrees, mandates and matters. Their verdict and judgement, decision and evaluation, determination and assessment, legal decree and sentence of eternal condemnation and punishment from long ago, of old and since time immemorial is not delayed or left idle, inactive or going unused, paused or cancelled, and their destruction and complete and utter ruin and waste, obliteration and annihilation has not gone drowsy or dozed off, lingered or been left dormant, neglected or delayed.
Full of Evil
4 - 22
For this reason, if and since God* did not spare, be merciful towards or refrain from removing the messengers and envoys who had sinned and erred, missed the mark and made a mistake, violated the Torah of the Supreme One and wandered from the Way and from the state of uprightness, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, He cast them into the abode of the damned, consigning them to the dark abyss of the evil and wicked, giving and granting, supplying and furnishing, bestowing and delivering, committing and permitting, extending and presenting, surrendering and handing them over to chains and ropes, cords and fastening them in total darkness, blackness and gloom, keeping and guarding, holding on to and retaining, attending to and maintaining, keeping an eye on, watching over and preserving them for and on behalf of a verdict and judgement, decision and evaluation, tribunal and court, determination and assessment, legal decree and sentence of the Supreme One. He did not even spare, be merciful towards or refrain from removing the ancient and old, archaic and primeval, prehistoric and former world and cosmos, the earlier realm of man, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, He guarded and kept, protected and watched over, observed and preserved, cared for and paid attention to, defended and maintained, cherished and clung to, saved and held fast to Noakh*, a herald and announcer, marshal and public messenger, proclaimer and ambassador of righteousness and validation, acceptance and vindication, uprightness, justice and acquittance to the Supreme One’s standards, one of eight, having brought upon and set, led and laid on, applied and procured a flood and deluge upon the world and cosmos, the realm of men who were abandoned and irreverent, undesirable and destitute, impious and disloyal, profane and ungodly souls. Then He evaluated and separated, sundered and judged, condemned and sentenced, pronounced doom upon and declared the towns and cities of Sodom* and ‘Amorah* to be worthy of punishment and destruction, burning them up completely and reducing them to ashes, setting and placing, standing and establishing, appointing and ordaining, fixing and providing, designating and assigning them in order to serve as an example and sample, model and plan, sketch and sign, evidence and proof, specimen and display, indicator and illustration for those about to and are inevitable to, determined and intend to, certain and expect to, shall and will be abandoned and irreverent, undesirable and destitute, impious and disloyal, profane and ungodly. Next He saved and delivered, rescued, drew and snatched righteous and just, upright and virtuous, faultless and guiltless, fair, approved and accepted Lowt*, having been distressed and exhausted, harassed and oppressed, afflicted and worn out, tormented and vexed, weary and tired by and because of the manner and way of life, behaviour and conduct of the abandoned and irreverent, undesirable and destitute, impious and disloyal, profane and ungodly, that was manifested in, by and with debauchery and unbridled lust, licentiousness and voluptuousness, outrageousness and wantonness, shamelessness and insolence (for this reason, that righteous and just, upright and virtuous, faultless and guiltless, fair, approved and accepted one, dwelling, living and residing within and among them day after day, he was testing and distressing, examining, vexing and harassing a righteous and just, upright and virtuous, faultless and guiltless, fair, approved and accepted soul, causing him to prove his genuineness by their lawless and wicked, godless and impious works and businesses, employments and undertakings, acts and deeds, tasks and labours, their transgressions and violations of the Torah which he perceived and examined, discerned and observed, discovered and saw, considered and beheld, paid close attention to and noticed, directed attention to and faced, was aware and took note of, and heard and attended to, considered and understood, comprehended and perceived, paid attention to and listened to). Sovereign Master sees and perceives, observes and witnesses, knows and experiences, recognises and respects, understands and takes note of, comprehends and discerns, pays attention to and discovers, notices and examines, inspects and beholds to save and deliver, rescue, drawn away and snatch the pious and reverent ones, those in a proper relationship with the Supreme One, from out of a time of trail, trouble and tribulation that tests and objectively examines and scrutinizes people to prove, determine and ascertain their genuineness, behavioural response and character; however, the unrighteous and unjustified, wicked and wrong, dishonest and evil, deceitful and false ones who transgress and violate the Torah of the Supreme One, are to be kept and guarded, held on to and retained, attended to and maintained, kept an eye on and watched over, preserved and protected as we move towards the day, time and period of the verdict and judgement, decision and evaluation, tribunal and court, determination and assessment, legal decree and sentence of the Supreme One, where they are chastised and punished, restrained and pruned, curbed and corrected, trimmed and disciplined, moderated and lopped off, impeded and cut short. Moreover, especially and chiefly, above all and mostly, assuredly and particularly, exceptionally and certainly those who are advancing and promoting, pursuing and leading, following after and living, carrying and travelling after the carnal flesh and human nature in, by and with evil desire and craving, lust and longing, coveting, impulse and passion of carnal flesh, human nature and Humanism, and so show contempt and disdain for, despise and disregard, look down on and scorn, think lightly of and neglect, not care for and slight, disparage and belittle the Supreme One’s dominion and power, authority and rule. Bold and venturous, daring and presumptuous, audacious and arrogant, overbearing and self-willed, stubborn and contumacious, remorseless and unfeeling, self-pleasing and insolent, self-satisfying and shameless, mad and arbitrary, inconsiderate and unconcerned about others, they do not tremble or quake, quiver or show any concern when blaspheming and lying about, maliciously slandering and abusively speaking about, injuriously reproaching and vilifying, personally mocking and insulting, reviling and defaming about glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty, whereas Heavenly messengers and envoys, and powers and mighty ones, able and capable, forceful and influenceable ones, authorities and significant, competent and excellent ones, being and existing as greater and larger, mightier and more powerful, important and prominent, extraordinary and outstanding, do not bring forth or convey, bore or express, uphold or carry, issue or establish, lead or present, produce or direct a blaspheming or lying, malicious slandering or abusive speaking, injurious reproaching or vilifying, personally mocking or insulting, reviling or defaming verdict or judgement, decision or evaluation, tribunal or court, determination or assessment, legal decree or sentence against, contrary to or in opposition to them before, near or in the immediate proximity of Yahuweh*. But nevertheless, these, as, like and similar to absurd and irrational, unreasonable and illiterate, unfit and groundless, unaccountable and unintelligent, unsuited and brutish animals and creatures, those governed by nature and natural instincts that leads to being taken captive and caught, trapped and conquered, taken away and destroyed, and to corruption and destruction, morally depravity and death, decay and ruin, perdition and dissolution, uttering blasphemies and lies, malicious and slandering, abusive and injurious, reproachful and vilifying, mocking and insulting, reviling and defaming opinions with regards to that which they do not know or recognise, understand or have any sort of knowledge and so err, are ignorant and lack information, are clueless and unaware; they too shall also be corrupted and destroyed, depraved and spoilt, ruined and vitiated, seduced and led astray in, by and with their own corruption and destruction, morally depravity and death, decay and ruin, perdition and dissolution. They shall suffer wrong and be harmed, injured and damaged, ruined and spoiled as a wage, reward and recompense of unrighteousness and unjust actions, wickedness and wrongness, dishonesty and evil, deceits and falseness, transgressions and violations of the Torah of the Supreme One. They think and consider, seem and deem, reckon and regard it to be desirable to authorise, promote and advance lustful pleasures and desires, passions and unsanctified carnality, sensual cravings and malicious favours in, by and with the day and time, age and period of soft living and revelling, carousal and indulgence, luxuriousness and wantonness, daintiness and insolence, delicacy and fastidiousness, effeminate existence and intemperate lifestyle. They are spots and stains, moral blemishes and gluttonous, shameful and disgraceful people who are an insult to society, blots and defects, flawed and reproachful, held in contempt and scorned who cast slurs on others, revelling and taking delight in, living delicately and luxuriously, carousing in and openly indulging in, by and with their own deceits and deceptions, trickeries and enticements, temptations and seductive delusions, coming together in order to participate and entertain themselves among all of you with feasts and festivals. Having and holding, acquiring and receiving, regarding and counting, enjoying and inhabiting, bearing and upholding, guarding and protecting, cleaving and clinging to, depending and relying on, supporting and sustaining, gripping and embracing, entertaining and keeping, owning and possessing adulterous and untrusting, unclean and disloyal, lustful and treacherous, idolatrous and traitorous eyes, mind-sets and thoughts, and they cannot refrain and are unable to stop when it comes to a sin or error, a miss of the mark or making a mistake, a violation of the Torah of the Supreme One and wandering from the Way and from the state of uprightness, being unceasing and endless, restless, never satisfied and unrestrained. They draw away and lure, pull and drag, carry off and deceive, beguile and entrap, bait and allure, seduce, delude and lead weak and unsteady, unstable and unsupported souls astray. Having and holding, acquiring and receiving, regarding and counting, enjoying and inhabiting, bearing and upholding, guarding and protecting, cleaving and clinging to, depending and relying on, supporting and sustaining, gripping and embracing, entertaining and keeping, owning and possessing hearts, their circulation of life that controls their circulation of life that controls their desires and feelings, affections and endeavours, wills and characters, passions and impulses, that openly and publically exercise and practice, are accustomed to and vigorously trained in greed and avarice, covetousness and insatiableness for more than what is needed and what is due, materialism and lustfulness. They are cursed and maledicted, execrated, imprecated and harmed children and offspring. Abandoning and forsaking, leaving behind and neglecting, departing from and being no longer related to the straight and just, upright and direct, true and sincere, proper and correct Way and Road, Path and Route, they have been deceived and mislead, led astray and caused to wander, mistaken and deluded, seduced and coerced into error, having followed after and joined themselves to, accompanied and copied, conformed to and imitated, yielded to the supposed authority of and complied with, obeyed and closely sided with the way and road, path and route of Balaam* the son of flesh*, he who dearly loved and welcomed, entertained, looked fondly upon and cherished the wage, reward and recompense of injustice and unrighteousness, wickedness and wrong, dishonesty and evil, deceitfulness and violation of the Torah of the Supreme One with strong affection and highly esteemed them with great favour, goodwill and benevolence, being loyal to and greatly adoring them, but nevertheless, he had and held, acquired and received, regarded and counted, enjoyed and inhabited, bore and upheld, guarded and protected, cleaved and clung to, depended and relied on, supported and sustained, gripped and embraced, entertained and kept, owned and possessed a rebuke and conviction, refutation, correction and reproach for his own individual transgression and lawlessness, wickedness and wrongdoing, evildoing and offence; a soundless and dumb donkey who was unable to convey or communicate meaning, having spoken and uttered, screamed, cried out and proclaimed in, by and with a sound, tone and voice that was able to be understood by men and other human beings, hindered and prevented, forbid and denied, refused and restrained, withheld and stopped the insanity, folly and madness of the prophet. These people are and exist as waterless, wasted and dried up springs, fountains and streams, and mists and clouds that have been driven and steered, propelled and moved about, impelled and carried off by, under and subject to the power and control of gales and windstorms, squalls and gusts, whirlwinds, tempests and hurricanes, for whom the total darkness, blackness and gloom of the dark, evil and obscurity has been kept and guarded, held on to and retained, attended to and maintained, kept an eye on, watched over and preserved. For the reason that speaking and uttering, screaming, crying out and proclaiming in bombastic and pompous, verbose and swollen, excessive and oversized, haughty and extravagant, arrogant and boastful futility and perverseness, frailty and depravity, worthlessness and vanity, emptiness and purposelessness, transitoriness and nonsense, in, by and with debaucheries and unbridled lusts, licentious and voluptuous, outrageous and wanton, shameless and insolent evil desires and cravings, lusts and longings, coveting, impulses and passions of Humanism, the worship of the flesh and mortal body, they draw away and lure, pull and drag, carry off and deceive, beguile and entrap, bait and allure, seduce, delude and lead away those who are hardly, scarcely and barely fleeing from and escaping those who behave and conduct their manner and way of life in, by and with error and delusion, deceit and deception, corruption and fraudulence, sin and perversion, wickedness, vacillation and seduction. By promising and asserting, professing and announcing, offering and declaring to them that they can provide them with freedom and liberty, independence, generosity and the licence to do whatever they please, yet they themselves continually exist and perform, possess and are set as slaves, servants and attendants of corruption and destruction, morally depravity and death, decay and ruin, perdition and dissolution. For this reason, whatever defeats and conquers, succumbs and controls, overcomes and forces a certain person to yield to its authority, to this that person has been enslaved and subjected, obliged and bound, subjugated and subdued. For this reason, if or whether someone has fled from and escaped, got safely away from and become rid of the defilements and corruptions, stains and pollutions, foulness’ and shameful deeds, crimes, impurities and evils of this world and cosmos, this entire realm of man, in, by and through the precise and correct knowledge, perception and discernment, intellectual understanding, acknowledgement and insight of our Sovereign Master*, and our Deliverer and Preserver, Protector, Saviour and Rescuer, Messiah* Yahushua*, but nevertheless, these persons are again, anew and furthermore involved in and entangled, entwined and weaved, interlaced and form a connection with them, they have been defeated and conquered, succumbed and controlled, overcome and force to yield to its authority: the last, end and final state has come to be and exists, arises, appears and originates as worse and more severe, very bad and more grievous for them than the first and earlier, former and previous one! As a result, it was and existed as superior and better, higher and more important, more prominent and more excellent for them to not have had the precise and correct knowledge, perception and discernment, intellectual understanding and insight of the Way and Road, Path and Route of righteousness and validation, acceptance, vindication and uprightness, justification and acquittance to the Supreme One’s standards and of being in a proper relationship with Him, than having had this precise and correct knowledge, perception and discernment, intellectual understanding, acknowledgement and insight, to then have turned back and away from, returned to their former state and removed themselves again out from the set-apart and cleansed charge and precept, injunction and prescribed rule, mandate and order, regulation and commission that had been given and granted, supplied and furnished, bestowed and delivered, committed and permitted, extended and presented, surrendered and handed over to them. That which the real and disclosed, expressed and certain, upright and dependable, genuine and reliable, sincere and honest, true and factual proverb and maxim, parable and adage says has happened and come about, coincided and come to pass, corresponded and has befallen them, “The street and wild dog and hound* returns and comes back to, turns around to and pays attention to and towards its own individual vomit and puke, bile and regurgitated food,” * and “The sow, the female swine, having washed and bathed herself, returns* to wallow and roll around in the watery mud and mire, filthy muck and manure, slime and dung.” *

This is now and already the second letter, message and epistle that I write and record, inscribe and compose to all of you, beloved and esteemed, dearly loved and highly regarded ones, in, by and through which I awake and raise, stir up and agitate, render active, rouse and stimulate all of your sincere and pure, wholesome and unmixed, absolute and spotless senses and understanding, intelligence and mind, thoughts and impulses, intentions and purposes, notions and feelings, dispositions and plans, attitudes and comprehensions, ideas and opinions, judgements and perceptions that have been tested by light, in, by and through the way of a reminder and mention of it, refreshment and recollection, to cause all of you to remember and recall, be mindful of and think about the words and sayings, statements and messages, proclamations and subject matters that had been prophesised and predicted, announced before and foretold, publically proclaimed and cautioned, warned and told in advance and ahead of time by, under and subject to the power and control of the set-apart and cleansed prophets, the men and women who declared the thoughts of the Supreme One before and in the presence of mankind, and so respond to them, and the charge and precept, injunction and prescribed rule, mandate and order, regulation and commission of the Sovereign Master* and Deliverer and Preserver, Protector, Saviour and Rescuer, spoken through your delegates and emissaries, teachers and ambassadors, messengers and people who are sent forth with the orders of the Supreme One. Know and understand, perceive and realise, notice and discern, discover and observe, experience and ascertain, learn about and distinguish, judge and think about, comprehend, acknowledge and recognise Him and this firstly and chiefly, principally and most importantly, that concerning this, “Near the last, end and final days and times, ages and seasons, mockers and scoffers, scorners, imposters and deceivers who travel and journey, depart and go, proceed and conduct their lives and behaviour in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to their own individual evil desires and cravings, lusts and longings, impulses and passions shall come, arise and appear with mocking and scoffing, ridiculing and derision, deception and defraud, caprice and wantonness,”* and saying and teaching, maintaining and affirming, directing and exhorting, advising and pointing out, “Where and in what place is and exists the promise and gracious pledge, offer and vow of His presence and advent, coming and arrival? Affirming and confirming this, since and from the time that the forefathers, ancestors and founders of man have slept, perished and died, all individual and collective things remain and continue, keep on and endure, last and live on in the same manner and way, thus and so since and from the beginning and origin, start and foundation, first cause and outset of the creation and institution, foundation and laying down, ordaining and establishing of time.” For this reason, they deliberately want and wish, prefer and aim, intend, will and desire to forget and overlook, remain unaware of and not know, not see and have this fact escape their notice and knowledge, keeping it hidden, secret and cause others to be ignorant of it, that concerning this, for a very long and spacious amount of time the heavens, space and the universe have been and existed, and that the earth and land, ground and material realm was created and formed, placed together and set, established and united, composed and organised, framed and arranged, combined and constituted, contracted and condensed, made solid and firm, took shape and arose from out of water and through the means of, on the basis of and via water by the Word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter of God*, through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of which the world and cosmos, the entire realm of men then, at that time, was destroyed and ruined, annihilated and rendered useless, lost and abolished, wasted and caused to perish and pass away, having been flooded, inundated and deluged in water. But nevertheless, by that same Word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter, the present heavens, space and the universe and earth and land, ground and material realm that exist now are and exist as stored and gathered up, saved, laid up and reserved for blazing fire, being kept and guarded, held on to and retained, attended to and maintained, kept an eye on, watched over and preserved for and on behalf of the day and time, age and season of the verdict and judgement, decision and evaluation, determination and assessment, legal decree and sentence of their eternal condemnation and punishment, and destruction and complete and utter ruin and waste, obliteration and annihilation of abandoned and irreverent, undesirable and destitute, impious and disloyal, profane and ungodly men and other human beings. But nevertheless, do not let this one specific fact be forgotten or overlooked, remained unaware of or not known, not seen by all of you or escape all of your notice or knowledge, not keeping it hidden, secret or causing others to be ignorant of it, beloved and esteemed, dearly loved and highly regarded ones, that concerning this, before, in the presence of and in the immediate proximity of Yahuweh*, one twenty-four hour day is as, like and similar to a thousand years, and a thousand years is as, like and similar to one twenty-four hour day*. Yahuweh* is not being slow, delaying or hesitating regarding the promise and gracious pledge, offer and vow of His presence, as, like and similar to the way some certain people think and consider, seem and deem, reckon and regard slowness and delay, tardiness and sluggishness to be, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, He is patient and enduring, forbearing and persevering, slow and delayed towards and for and on behalf of all of you, not purposely planning or intending, desiring or wanting, willing or wishing, deliberately choosing or preferring that any certain person should be destroyed or ruined, annihilated or rendered useless, lost or abolished, wasted or caused to perish or pass away, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, that everyone, individually and collectively, will move on and advance, journey and travel, come and go forward, proceed and succeed, turn, yield and progress towards a changed mind and different way of thinking, an amended life and attitude, a reconsideration and feeling of compunction, an abhorrence and repentance of past sins. Continuing on, the Day of Yahuweh* shall come and happen, occur and arrive as, like and similar to a thief who takes away by stealth and surprise, in, by and with which the heavens, space and universe shall pass away and perish, disappear, cease to exist and come to an end with a roar and loud rush of noise and sound, and the elementary principles and fundamental elements, natural substances and rudimentary materials that are consumed and burned up shall be may untied and loosened, set free and released, set aside and unbound, undone and unfastened, annulled and invalidated, done away with and dismissed, destroyed and torn down, broken and dispersed, subverted and severed, demolished and weakened, relaxed and slackened, put to an end and repealed, revoked and transgressed, eliminated and removed, and the earth and land, ground and material realm and the works and businesses, employments and undertakings, acts and deeds, tasks and labours that are within and inside her shall be found and discovered, observed and recognised, detected and learned about, understood and become known through enquiry and examination, thought and scrutiny, investigation and perception to be untied and loosened, set free and released, set aside and unbound, undone and unfastened, annulled and invalidated, done away with and dismissed, destroyed and torn down, broken and dispersed, subverted and severed, demolished and weakened, relaxed and slackened, put to an end and repealed, revoked and transgressed, eliminated and removed. In this manner and way, thus and so, as it is doubtless and sure, certain, by all means and assured that these things are to be untied and loosened, set free and released, set aside and unbound, undone and unfastened, annulled and invalidated, done away with and dismissed, destroyed and torn down, broken and dispersed, subverted and severed, demolished and weakened, relaxed and slackened, put to an end and repealed, revoked and transgressed, eliminated and removed, of what sort, kind or manner of people is it necessary and destined, prescribed and proper, inevitable, ordained and binding for all of you to continually exist and arise, appear and be devoted, set down and come forth as in, by and with set-apart and cleansed lives and behaviour, and reverence, respect and proper attitude and relationship with the Supreme One? Anxiously expecting and waiting for, looking for and anticipating, and hurrying up and hastening, urging on and zealously promoting, eagerly striving for and quickly seeking after the presence and advent, coming and arrival of the Day of God*, through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of which the heavens, space and the universe, being consumed and burned in blazing fire shall be untied and loosened, set free and released, set aside and unbound, undone and unfastened, annulled and invalidated, done away with and dismissed, destroyed and torn down, broken and dispersed, subverted and severed, demolished and weakened, relaxed and slackened, put to an end and repealed, revoked and transgressed, eliminated and removed, and the elementary principles and fundamental elements, natural substances and rudimentary materials, being consumed and burned up, are so melted and wasted, fallen, dissipated and dissolved, and so we anxiously expect and wait for, look for and anticipate “the new and fresh, renewed and unused, unprecedented and uncommon, unknown and remarkable, impressive and superior heavens, space and universe, and new and fresh, renewed and unused, unprecedented and uncommon, unknown and remarkable, impressive and superior earth and land, ground and material realm,” * within and inside which, according to and in regards to, in relation to and with respect to His promise and gracious pledge, offer and vow, righteousness and validation, acceptance and vindication, uprightness, justice and acquittance to the Supreme One’s standards resides and lives, inhabits and dwells.
Final Words

Therefore, for this reason and for this purpose, beloved and esteemed, dearly loved and highly regarded ones, anxiously expecting and waiting for, looking for and anticipating these things, be active and zealous, quick and assiduous, earnest and diligent, endeavour and be devoted, eager and in a hurry to make every effort to be found and discovered, observed and recognised, detected and learned about, understood and become known through enquiry and examination, thought and scrutiny, investigation and perception by Him to be within and inside peace and tranquillity, harmony and concord, security and safety, prosperity and freedom, exemption from chaos, felicity and the assurance of salvation, being without defect and spotless and clean, pure, free from corruption and without blemish, guiltless and faultless. And think and consider, seem and deem, reckon and regard the patience and endurance, forbearance and perseverance, steadfastness and restraint of our Sovereign Master* to be as deliverance and preservation, salvation and safety, just as and exactly as our beloved and esteemed, dearly loved and highly regarded brother and fellow brethren Paul* also wrote and inscribed, recorded and composed to all of you in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to the wisdom and intelligence, knowledge, sophistication and insight that has been given and granted, supplied and furnished, bestowed and delivered, committed and permitted, extended and presented to him. Consequently and as a result, within and inside all individual and collective letters, messages and epistles speaking, chatting and talking about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to these things within and inside them, within and inside them are some certain things that are and exist as difficult to understand and hard to comprehend, which the uneducated and ignorant, stupid and unlearned, those without knowledge, and weak and unsteady, unstable and unsupported ones twist and distort, pervert and screw up, torture and wrench apart, just as, like and similar to their customary way they do to the rest of the remaining writings of Scripture, to the advantage of their own individual destruction and complete and utter ruin and waste, obliteration and annihilation. Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things beings so, beloved and esteemed, dearly loved and highly regarded ones, as all of you have come to know and understand, perceive and realise, notice and discern, discover and observe, experience and ascertain, learn about and distinguish, judge and think about, comprehend, acknowledge and recognise this beforehand and in advance, keep and guard, hold on to and retain, attend to and maintain, keep an eye on and watch over, preserve and protect yourselves, so that and in order that all of you are not accommodated or led away, deceived or carried away in the same error and delusion, deceit and deception, corruption and fraudulence, sin and perversion, wickedness, vacillation and seduction of the abandoned and irreverent, undesirable and destitute, impious and disloyal, profane and ungodly, so falling off and perishing, failing and passing away, disappearing, losing and becoming invalidated from your own individual foundation and firmness, position and security, safety and fixed support, steadfastness and perseverance and stability, establishment and sustainment. On the other hand, continuously grow and increase, be amplified and magnified in, by and with the favour and joy, delight and thanks, glory and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure, mercy and loving kindness, and knowledge, perception and discernment, intellectual understanding and insight of our Sovereign Master*, and our Deliverer and Preserver, Protector, Saviour and Rescuer, Yahushua* the Anointed Messiah*. To Him be the glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty both now, at this present time, and to the day and time, age and season of eternity. Yes, truly this is a firm and reliable statement of truth.
