Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna
in die illa rremenda
quando coeli movendi sunt er terra,
dum veneris judicare
saeculum per ignem.
The Lamb's Companions
1. Then I looked and there was the lamb standing on Mount Zion,
and with him a hundred and forty four thousand who had his name
and his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2. I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of
rushing water or a loud peal of thunder.
The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.
3. They were singing what seemed to be a new hymn before the throne,
before the four living creatures and the elders.
No one could learn this hymn except the
hundred and forty four thousand
who had been ransomed from the earth.
4. These are they who are not defiled with women;
they are virgins and these are the ones who follow
the Lamb wherever he goes.
They have been ransomed as the first
fruits of the human race for God and the Lamb.
5. On their lips no deceit has been found; they are unblemished.
The Three Angels
6. Then I saw another angel flying high overhead,
with everlasting good news to announce to those who dwell on earth,
to every nation, tribe tongue, and people.
7. He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory,
for his time has come to sit in judgement.
Worship him who made heaven and
earth and sea and springs of water."
8. A second angel followed, saying:
"Fallen, Fallen is Babylon the great,
that made all the nations drink the wine of her licentious passion."
9. A third angel said in a loud voice,
"Anyone who worships the beast or its image,
or accepts its mark in forehead or hand,
10. will also drink the wine of God's fury,
poured full strength into the cup of his wrath,
and will be tormented in burning sulfur
before the holy angels and before the Lamb.
11. The smoke of the fire that torments them will rise forever and ever,
and there will be no relief day or night
for those who worship the beast or its
image or accept the mark of its name."
12. Here is what sustains the holy ones
who keep God's commandments and their faith in Jesus.
13 I heard a voice from heaven say,
"Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."
"Yes," said the Spirit, "let them find rest from their labors,
for their works accompany them."
The Harvest of the Earth
14. Then I looked and there was a white cloud,
and sitting on the cloud one who looked like the son of man,
with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.
15. Another angel came out of the temple,
crying out to the one sitting on the cloud,
"Use your sickle and reap the harvest,
for the time to harvest has come,
because the earth's harvest is fully ripe."
16. So the one who was sitting on the cloud
swung his sickle over the earth,
and the earth was harvested.
17. Then another angel came out of the temple
in heaven who also had a sharp sickle.
18. Then another angel came from the altar,
who was in charge of the fire,
and cried out in a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle
"Use your sharp sickle and cut the cluster's from the earth's vines,
for its grapes are ripe"
19. So the angel swung his sickle ove the earth's vintage.
He threw it into the great winepress of God's fury.
20. The wine press was trodden outside the city
and blood poured out of the wine press
to the height of a horse's bridle for two hundred miles.
Temperance Juke Box II
Are you sure this guy's on the level?
".may have come from Freemasonry,
in which the stonecutter's level symbolizes integrity."
Dianetics: comes from the Greek words dia, meaning “through” and nous, meaning “soul.” Dianetics is a methodology developed by L. Ron Hubbard which can help alleviate unwanted sensations and emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic illnesses.
It is most accurately described as what the soul
is doing
to
the body through
the mind.
