Symbolic Facial Resembling Ponsardin

Revelation 4:3   

Sardine (full explanation)         

                                                      勾陈腾蛇(Chen Teng snake hook, Jonah translation)


And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine(sardius) stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a] of God. 6Before the throne there was[e] a sea of glass, like crystal .

Do you understand the meaning of these symbols on her forehead?



A yellow apple in hand, though consciously, we can never call an apple "peach". An apple is definited as an "Apple" , the choice is only in colour. This is the difference between colour and nature.

Four layers of eye brows have been decorated. One orange brown, one dark green, one purple and one silver. A pearl colour plastic ball in the middle of her hair ornaments, as big as the apple.




In the picture, we can see further from the eyebrow makeups.Is her hand symbolise brightness and darkness. The left hand in darkness, and the right hand in brightness. And she lift her right hand, while pushing her left hand forward . A crown decoration composed of flower and butterfly elements, with a nuclear shape cloud at the background to further dramatimize the whole effect.




In this picture, we can see further of her first forehead makeups with two men. Her hairstyle resembling the feet of spiders. She erected her middle finger in both of her left hand , and right hand, with the second finger form a number "2", in each hand. Her nails though, pained especially black, in accordance with her hair, and contrast with her clothes. The nail style is witch like.


Obadiah

The vision of Obadiah.
   This is what the Sovereign LORD says about Edom—
   We have heard a message from the LORD:
   An envoy was sent to the nations to say,
“Rise, let us go against her for battle”—
 2 “See, I will make you small among the nations;
   you will be utterly despised.


3 The pride of your heart has deceived you,
   you who live in the clefts of the rocks[a]
   and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
   ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
4 Though you soar like the eagle
   and make your nest among the stars,
   from there I will bring you down,”
            declares the LORD.



Because of the violence against your brother Jacob,
   you will be covered with shame;
   you will be destroyed forever.
11 On the day you stood aloof
   while strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
   and cast lots for Jerusalem,
   you were like one of them.

12 You should not gloat over your brother
   in the day of his misfortune,
nor rejoice over the people of Judah
   in the day of their destruction,
nor boast so much
   in the day of their trouble.
13 You should not march through the gates of my people
   in the day of their disaster,
nor gloat over them in their calamity
   in the day of their disaster,
nor seize their wealth
   in the day of their disaster.
14 You should not wait at the crossroads
   to cut down their fugitives,
nor hand over their survivors
   in the day of their trouble.
The day of the LORD is near
   for all nations.





Shopping Cart Merchants

As you have done, it will be done to you;
   your deeds will return upon your own head.
16 Just as you drank on my holy hill,
   so all the nations will drink continually;
they will drink and drink
   and be as if they had never been.


Jonah's Eagle Vision

She played Guzheng,and he had some down fingering.

She's naked on the bed.In her room setting there's a picture of a single eye with dark blue skin. A worried eye. A eagle was standing there, while she was naked. Then it flied away and brought me vision about her.

I asked the eagle about them.


Their table was near some water, it's a very elegant hotel room. He looked at her , interested. The water was very even and quiet, then I saw their reflection in the water, while some water dripping into the pond,  broken the peace, then the wave spreads away.




A piece of orange, closely attached to a piece of meat. The pulp of the orange is in exactly the same colour of the meat. Then I saw the orange started to shake...

I saw many red lanterns, on them are four words: 有(possession), 请(invitation) , 客(guest), 来(arrival)



Then in front of him, he saw a left hand finger. The fingers are moving swiftly,  seemed to be on an unseen instrument, then he saw several Chinese words down the finger " you are doomed".

A baby was jumping upside down on their bed, covered the real act on the bed. Jonah handled all the theme in a very surrealistic way. The baby I saw was unwrapped, but having fun.




Then this hand started to move swiftly again and suddenly pat on an alarm clock. It scared him.


A double bed with white sheet, a big round black pan full of cream. It started to pour the cream on the bed, it spreads gradually, and started to rotate like swirl gradually, slowly, in a counter clockwise direction.

A round machine, I don't know what's that for, was rotating in a counter clockwise direction. Under it was a pink pantie of woman.

She put a paper handbag on the thread that used to hang clothes. He came, and put on  a leather jacket without sleeves. The script here only described the outside look of this clothing. But in Jonah's film,  inside the clothes, full of furs.



f. BABY - White Kraft Paper Bag

 

Coach Leather Jacket Without Sleeve


A woman's hip, a golden duck belt around the waist, and the duck's beak was toward the hip.
The most exposed dimension, is a naked couple hugged enough other on a bed, but there's no details like porn( important parts covered with other body parts from side) , and I see the bed changed into a hanging  bed, swinging.  The couple when twisted, changed into a modern painting. All I can see is the round head, and simple curves as symbol of body. We still don't see a porn picture.

So I asked Jonah, what ARE they really?

So the couple closed to each other again, this time, I saw two black snakes with golden stripes, crawling slowly close, and then their body stick together. I saw a monkey jumped from the tree  in panic as the two snakes moving toward.  Then all branches of the tree was full of snakes of that kind, crawling creepily. A monkey was under one branch, on a swing.


I did asked Jonah about their result. And I do see them becoming bride and groom, just like William and Kate.

They turned into a couple of Japanese wedding doll, and started to spin clockwise. Then I saw the groom doll dissapeared, two girl dolls continued to spin clockwise. If the dolls were in the style of grey clothed ones, but in colour of black and white like the first, then turned face to face, I will find the exact set I saw.





Then I think that's enough visions. Jonah had just made a surrealistic film.


Music yesterday was very cheesy, wine,  lovemaking, orange and meat scene. The next minute, he started to sing " I shall marry you." Like a right hand lift in brightness, and a left hand push forward in darkness.Winning trusts, they eat and drink, indulge themselves, and reverse credit and debit entry, bringing honour as scholar on troops.

Having had everything of free will,  now all they need is just an exchange of clothes in black and white...



This facial makeup of Sa Ding Ding, was composed of symbols of two men.  She had two eye brows. In the middle of her forehead, a "V" shape resembling a bird's wings, also African tribal mark. The man and woman of the tribe mark "V' shape using knives, to symbolise maturity of man and woman during ceremony. It's common among teenagers, and process was bleeding and painful.

La Chic Oriental Vogue Space

A saw a new young man two days ago. Again his feature was very clear.

He was a handsome boy, ( more Aussie). He jumped up from the bed, as if something was approaching, he wear a red winter hat, that covers his ears and have ropes.

His bed was big, with light coming out from the window, and he's alone on his bed.

This is the most similar hat I have found, the only difference is the colour in red.

Here is a similar version, but in female style, and the color is a bit pink

Declan Crouch

I saw this boy yesterday, when I saw him I wondered. Because he looked like a very good kid, that had no trouble . His hair style was exactly this, his facial feature was very clear, as a stranger to me.

I saw he was in a school dining room, in a seemed to be  food counter queueing line, and he was rather quiet, didn't say anything, nor did he had any special expression, just like a very common school kid. He was wearing a long sleeve top with navy and dark green mixed wide stripe clothes.

Click the link to see the example of the clothes in Navy/ kiwi green. I have seen a similar one with wider space and dark green colour.

I was pondering what problem such a kid may have.

more news of Tank Art Center


It's Friday night, that I would like to see this kid again, see what happened to him.

I saw him walking toward the sea, gradually into deeper water. At first, he had a rusty, but heavy metal frame on his right shoulder, but as he kept walking ahead, water started to submerge him.  Then he started to swim. Initially, he swam in a backstroke style, then a free style.

Then I saw wave, or tide rushed his naked body to the beach, and he was unconscious. The he was awake, and looked at a large cassette of movie film tape rushed to the beach by the sea. As I wondered, I saw him looked down at a black folder.


I then saw shadow of some black people. I don't see their faces . But in the middle there was one sitting in a wheelchair, but still very tall.

So then I asked Jonah, what did this mean? and if he's still alive?

Then I saw him, back to the time he was swimming in the sea. This angel seemed to be shot from underwater.  He was swimming at the surface, and a crocodile approached underwater. But then I saw he turned into an infant, swimming. I didn't see the crocodile approaching, but rather, when it was approaching, it started to spin itself.

Then I saw him turned into a turtle. I then saw this turtle was upside down, on the back of another turtle, which was moving along the beach.

I still couldn't understand, so I asked Jonah again, if he's still alive. Or if the infant meat him of a reborn life? What did that mean about the spin of the crocodile?

Then I went back to the moment when he was in the water again, I saw him turned into a tan colour little dog, swimming in an upside down style.

Then I saw him turned into Elmo,( Elmo's song by Asian ) he was on top of a truck. Then he jumped onto a running train...

The next, I saw Mr Tan. He opened a drawer named " rabbit's file", then found the file of him. There's an envelope, he pulled out a postcard from it, and saw there was a naked picture of him. the he said :" A rabbit shouldn't be naked."

( Passwell  )

Is he qualified to ask this question?


Then confront them with their detestable practices, 37 for they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols; they even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to me, as food for them. 38 They have also done this to me: At that same time they defiled my sanctuary and desecrated my Sabbaths. 39 On the very day they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my sanctuary and desecrated it. That is what they did in my house.

 40 “They even sent messengers for men who came from far away, and when they arrived you bathed yourself for them, applied eye makeup and put on your jewelry. 41 You sat on an elegant couch, with a table spread before it on which you had placed the incense and olive oil that belonged to me.



Saturday, a freight train carrying coals was derailed mysteriously near Port Augusta, close to its terminal - a coal mine . It's reported that the derailment wasn't due to any mistakes. 15 carriages totally turned off.

I eventually read about the letter being filed  into the general journal.

The Rabbit was only 13!


About the rabbit's private life, I asked Jonah again.

The scene back to the food counter I saw him the first time. He took a choclate cake from the counter, and a girl, put a triangle piece of cake into his mouth- so sweet, like a little couple. The girl was also very young  . She's slim and has brown long hair, bit curly. Then I saw them sat in front of a piano, the girl lean her head on his knees- so sweet, like a sweet little couple. He put his arm around her.- They both under age!!

Then I saw him suddenly grew up into around 18- years- old version, a lot taller, with white T-shirt. He sat under an old white two-storey cottage, the ground looked like a quiet country place. He put his arm around a dog, a tan head, white body dog. My first impression was though, that he was imagining his future sweet home, but I didn't see the girl.

Then at night, I saw a black snaked with golden stripes swimming in the water in the darkness. Several strange creatures landed the river bank very swiftly and mysteriously from the water . I couldn't tell what they are. As my eyes chased them, I found they became huge bugs- crickets.







This was the night I recorded these visions. I fell into sleep. In my dream, I saw the boy was playing drum, a heard the rhythm pattern was constant however irregular. In fact, the sound was from next door.

But when I got up, I heard the music. Sea, sky, and birds,  heavy chains of prisoner . That spirit of 13 years old. I even heard the noise from rats. I saw a little tan head dog and a little brown head dog was chasing rats in Queensland in news the day before, they were over excited. It was truly a bubbly boy, although he looked very quiet.

When I went back to sleep.

I dreamed myself went to a vacational business school, looked like one of my old school. In fact, I didn't learnt the trial balance chapter well over there, as I was totally impatient. It's a very similar school, I went to the fourth floor, there was a balcony. From there I enter the school at night. There're a few students. I avoided talking to them, but in fact, I seemed to come to find people to teach the drum beating.

I wrote down the rhythmic patterns with accents on a music score, without note. No one comes for me.

Then I was invited by Queen Elizabeth. A lot people was there in a game. She, the Queen herself took dice in nude colour, without any points.( also see Crystal Dice 水晶骰子) She took four of them, and rolled them on the table.  Then I heard she said, "the game cost 4 million pounds". " these dices worth 4 million pounds." Then I was there, I said , " how can you put 4 million pounds for nothing? " The queen said, " you are from a poor family, but in a royal family, it's very common." I was shocked there, I said," four million pounds for nothing, for nothing..." I meant there's lots place needs money, but people don't get it...

She then said, " did you always make our affairs transparent?" She then said, " I always treat my slave very nice." She stood near a woman slept on a bed, she was 45-50 years old, plumb, brown shoulder hair with curls. The woman heard this then stood from the bed, and bent her knees to the Queen.

And the Queen asked me " are you my slave?" I remember that I answered her that I was her servant...

Then I was awake. In fact, I've seen the Queen several times lately. A few days ago, I saw in my vision, the royal family was watching a game. Among them I saw the Queen, his husband , William and 5-6 maids. Kate was not among them somehow, and the maids were all plain looking ones.

While I was lying in the darkness, pondered the dream, I heard there's truly someone outside, said

"It's time to stop it!"

I know it was truly the boy, named Declan Crouch. He was next door, practicing a drum pattern . Then I heard his music. He should be with Jonah, as that standard for a 13 years old will be jaw dropping. Then I continued to teach drum in my dream. It was about his case.





The music last night back to its original cheesy taste.

“The noise of a carefree crowd was around her; drunkards were brought from the desert along with men from the rabble, and they put bracelets on the wrists of the woman and her sister and beautiful crowns on their heads.

Mark in Flanelette


Queensland  
May 28, 2011


Two members of Brisbane band Flannelette died in a tragic accident on the Pacific Highway in the early hours of morning :

Bassist Mick Fisher, 30, and
guitarist Tyler Gunn, 24 of young Brisbane band

The band had played at The Beenleigh Tavern on the Gold Coast the night before competing in the Loud Fest Semi Finals. They were driving back to Brisbane along the Pacific Highway at around 2.45am  when their van was rear-ended by a semi trailer.


London
May 30, 2011
Snap happy Queen Elizabeth has ordered an end to her flashing days, claiming camera bulbs hurt her ageing eyes.

During the monarch's recent trip to Ireland and throughout US President Barack Obama's visit to the UK, the palace ordered that snappers not use flash photography


Yesterday I was studying the final chapter of Tonight in FA accounting materials, from Kate Kitchen(page 7) . I wondered how many Kate have such superiority to require a public university to train students with scheme full of trap and hole , to feed her own kitchen.

And the very nature of the Tonight In FA, is prostitution. Sex ( as well as those at spa and pool )  is being provided to army , police, and custom, almost in a compulsory way that means - a deduction from directly their payment or bank credit card. And when the service not needed, there's a tricky way to track down them and recorded as Bad Debt, and allowance ( to Mark) demand personal details/ files.

Duchess of Cambridge at Aquamarine, Queensland Boat

The scheme steals people's own money from their account to pay for their own tombs.

Although this flash may cause some eye pain, I'd rather not to flush it, as I was expecting some heart pain, but not skin itchness.  As just one day after the car crash of Flannelette, all their video of performance online had been baned . I saw them briefly in the news, at a night scene stage under flash.

Certainly, Queen Elizabeth would have had such prudence for the upcoming events and informative enough to prepare scandles about royal family, just as I had frankly reminded before the wedding uneccessarily. Yet, now that every choice of the royal family had gone through careful consideration, I believe that the Queen should have balanced such facts and consequences  for the decision of the royal wedding, then certainly it's fully respectable as accountable.

However, in front of such facts of chaos, just seeking the decency of the royal family is such a belated order, as it's a royal decision of full royality, and certainly it has such a royal nature that no one could deny now. However, to let anyone else to pay a royal debt, is far from royal generosity. And any bylaw should have no restriction to the dead.

As several days ago, I had this vision,  I saw Queens Elizabeth in my vision. I wondered. It was a me, a younger me, and Queen Elizabeth bent her own body trying to lift one of my legs, but it's so firm... I did wondered about this vision. Yet now I wondered what's really hurting to the Queen , if she has been so tolerate beyond our moral boundary .
( Note: "Hang Ten" is a  Receivable Control Account)

Yesterday, I was studying the material accounting course focus on a man named Mark, the music scheme named Tonight in FA . This is the final chapter of the material.

Using CVP analysis, calculate the expected profit....

Make the approriate time value of money calculation to compare the 3 alternatives [HINT: Establish which figure, a PV or a FV, is your central point of comparison in this problem. The decide whether then calculation related to a lump sum or an annuity.

The final words :

Liquidity considerations?


(PV:Present Value, FV : Future Value)

...

Mark's hanged. I knew this two hours after vision:

Lacey Nicole Mosley of Flyleaf from Texas was in short hair, a strange man put a rope around her neck and pull...  in fact the rope in the vision is a lot more thicker and rougher than this one.
 


In fact, I can tell you more details now, because I saw the person pulled the rope was in blue check Flanelette shirt. And then I saw the face changed into difference people with the same cloth, but I didn't see any of the band. There was a young teenager, he was thin and pale, he was pulling the rope, as well as another old man, I knew he was currently being chased and targeted.
(Note: Boards Galore is an  Payable Control Account)


At the time I saw the Queen, I also saw  reception. So strange, he was playing a jazz drum and beating so hard, and so funny, that his right drum stick was chopping the left drum stick...


But what worries me, was yesterday, I saw three strange boys, their faces were very clear. The first one plays the flute, his hair wasn't that short but soft. The second one plays an vertical wind instrument ; and the third one pays saxophone, he wears a hat, and has beard. And so far I found it's rather strange that I could hardly remember the feature, or hair, and what instrument the second one was playing, logically it should be a clarinet, but I felt it's the wrong answer.

Two days later after an encounter around police station, I picked up a slip on the ground accidentally, it's  UNITAB 04 Apr 2011. Horse name : Mistr Five S

" Mark like This <7>
Mark here if you want a fixed price bet
Mark One Selection Only If Fixed Price Bet "

That night I saw him . He tried to hold himself, and I felt he wanted to cry, but he did not speak a word, when I asked if he had anything to say. He came the second day , looked dissapointed as expecting me to show this slip to his brother. So I told him, I wouldshow to him, and as a spirit, he should take prudence to act in a way that can not imitated, and in a way gives light only when necessary. So I suggest him to meet his brother in his dream.

I handed this slip to his brother, that day he was burned.

As I was studying this material, and I was deeply worried for these people without careful calculation and proper preparation. And I know the problem was that people were unable to apply and stand on very important steps, but rely too much on "acting like " or "promise like", so he lost on compromise and hit when without preparation.

When I said these words, I felt Mark again, so strangly he felt rather positive and calm. so the second day, I picked up a second slip from the ground.

Mark how much you want to bet here.... <5>



I took special attention to the date of this bet. It's the last two dates that I was supposed to leave here. 

Mark has gain from his loss now.


I asked the god to send his spirits in a way that cannot be imitated and only when necessary and in light, help to protect their loved ones.

The Day of the Lord
28“And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.
29Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
30I will show wonders in the heavens
and on the earth,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
32And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved;
for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
there will be deliverance,
as the Lord has said,
among the survivors
whom the Lord calls.

Micah

The word of the LORD that came to Micah of Moresheth during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah—the vision he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
 2 Hear, you peoples, all of you,
   listen, earth and all who live in it,
that the Sovereign LORD may bear witness against you,
   the Lord from his holy temple.


Judgment Against Samaria and Jerusalem
 3 Look! The LORD is coming from his dwelling place;
   he comes down and treads on the heights of the earth.
4 The mountains melt beneath him
   and the valleys split apart,
like wax before the fire,
   like water rushing down a slope.
5 All this is because of Jacob’s transgression,
   because of the sins of the people of Israel.
What is Jacob’s transgression?
   Is it not Samaria?
What is Judah’s high place?
   Is it not Jerusalem?

 6 “Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble,
   a place for planting vineyards.
I will pour her stones into the valley
   and lay bare her foundations.
7 All her idols will be broken to pieces;
   all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
   I will destroy all her images.
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,
   as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”

Weeping and Mourning
 8 Because of this I will weep and wail;
   I will go about barefoot and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
   and moan like an owl.
9 For Samaria’s plague is incurable;
   it has spread to Judah.
It has reached the very gate of my people,
   even to Jerusalem itself.
Tell it not in Gath[a];
   weep not at all.
In Beth Ophrah[b]
   roll in the dust.
11 Pass by naked and in shame,
   you who live in Shaphir.[c]
Those who live in Zaanan[d]
   will not come out.
Beth Ezel is in mourning;
   it no longer protects you.
12 Those who live in Maroth[e] writhe in pain,
   waiting for relief,
because disaster has come from the LORD,
   even to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 You who live in Lachish,
   harness fast horses to the chariot.
You are where the sin of Daughter Zion began,
   for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Therefore you will give parting gifts
   to Moresheth Gath.
The town of Akzib[f] will prove deceptive
   to the kings of Israel. 

Human Plans and God’s Plans
 1 Woe to those who plan iniquity,
   to those who plot evil on their beds!
At morning’s light they carry it out
   because it is in their power to do it.
2 They covet fields and seize them,
   and houses, and take them.
They defraud people of their homes,
   they rob them of their inheritance.

 3 Therefore, the LORD says:
   “I am planning disaster against this people,
   from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,
   for it will be a time of calamity.
4 In that day people will ridicule you;
   they will taunt you with this mournful song:
‘We are utterly ruined;
   my people’s possession is divided up.
He takes it from me!
   He assigns our fields to traitors.’”

 5 Therefore you will have no one in the assembly of the LORD
   to divide the land by lot.

False Prophets
 6 “Do not prophesy,” their prophets say.
   “Do not prophesy about these things;
   disgrace will not overtake us.”
7 You descendants of Jacob, should it be said,
   “Does the LORD become[a] impatient?
   Does he do such things?”

   “Do not my words do good
   to the one whose ways are upright?
8 Lately my people have risen up
   like an enemy.
You strip off the rich robe
   from those who pass by without a care,
   like men returning from battle.
9 You drive the women of my people
   from their pleasant homes.
You take away my blessing
   from their children forever.
10 Get up, go away!
   For this is not your resting place,
because it is defiled,
   it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
11 If a liar and deceiver comes and says,
   ‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’
   that would be just the prophet for this people!

Deliverance Promised
 12 “I will surely gather all of you, Jacob;
   I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel.
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
   like a flock in its pasture;
   the place will throng with people.
13 The One who breaks open the way will go up before them;
   they will break through the gate and go out.
Their King will pass through before them,

Leaders and Prophets Rebuked
 1 Then I said,
   “Listen, you leaders of Jacob,
   you rulers of Israel.
Should you not embrace justice,
 2 you who hate good and love evil;
who tear the skin from my people
   and the flesh from their bones;
3 who eat my people’s flesh,
   strip off their skin
   and break their bones in pieces;
who chop them up like meat for the pan,
   like flesh for the pot?”

 4 Then they will cry out to the LORD,
   but he will not answer them.
At that time he will hide his face from them
   because of the evil they have done.

 5 This is what the LORD says:
   “As for the prophets
   who lead my people astray,
they proclaim ‘peace’
   if they have something to eat,
but prepare to wage war against anyone
   who refuses to feed them.
6 Therefore night will come over you, without visions,
   and darkness, without divination.
The sun will set for the prophets,
   and the day will go dark for them.
7 The seers will be ashamed
   and the diviners disgraced.
They will all cover their faces
   because there is no answer from God.”
8 But as for me, I am filled with power,
   with the Spirit of the LORD,
   and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression,
   to Israel his sin.


Hear this, you leaders of Jacob,
   you rulers of Israel,
who despise justice
   and distort all that is right;
10 who build Zion with bloodshed,
   and Jerusalem with wickedness.
11 Her leaders judge for a bribe,
   her priests teach for a price,
   and her prophets tell fortunes for money.
Yet they look for the LORD’s support and say,
   “Is not the LORD among us?
   No disaster will come upon us.”
12 Therefore because of you,
   Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble,
   the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets.


The LORD’s Plan
 6 “In that day,” declares the LORD,
   “I will gather the lame;
   I will assemble the exiles
   and those I have brought to grief.
7 I will make the lame my remnant,
   those driven away a strong nation.
The LORD will rule over them in Mount Zion
   from that day and forever.
8 As for you, watchtower of the flock,
   stronghold[a] of Daughter Zion,
the former dominion will be restored to you;
   kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.”


Ezekiel 21

Babylon as God’s Sword of Judgment
 1 [a]The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face against Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuary. Prophesy against the land of Israel 3 and say to her: ‘This is what the LORD says: I am against you. I will draw my sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked. 4 Because I am going to cut off the righteous and the wicked, my sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north. 5 Then all people will know that I the LORD have drawn my sword from its sheath; it will not return again.’


The word of the LORD came to me: 19 “Son of man, mark out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same country. Make a signpost where the road branches off to the city. 20 Mark out one road for the sword to come against Rabbah of the Ammonites and another against Judah and fortified Jerusalem. 21



Judgment on Jerusalem’s Sins
 1 The word of the LORD came to me:
 2 “Son of man, will you judge her? Will you judge this city of bloodshed? Then confront her with all her detestable practices 3 and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: You city that brings on herself doom by shedding blood in her midst and defiles herself by making idols, 4 you have become guilty because of the blood you have shed and have become defiled by the idols you have made. You have brought your days to a close, and the end of your years has come. Therefore I will make you an object of scorn to the nations and a laughingstock to all the countries. 5 Those who are near and those who are far away will mock you, you infamous city, full of turmoil.
 6 “‘See how each of the princes of Israel who are in you uses his power to shed blood. 7 In you they have treated father and mother with contempt; in you they have oppressed the foreigner and mistreated the fatherless and the widow. 8 You have despised my holy things and desecrated my Sabbaths. 9 In you are slanderers who are bent on shedding blood; in you are those who eat at the mountain shrines and commit lewd acts. 10 In you are those who dishonor their father’s bed; in you are those who violate women during their period, when they are ceremonially unclean. 11 In you one man commits a detestable offense with his neighbor’s wife, another shamefully defiles his daughter-in-law, and another violates his sister, his own father’s daughter. 12 In you are people who accept bribes to shed blood; you take interest and make a profit from the poor. You extort unjust gain from your neighbors. And you have forgotten me, declares the Sovereign LORD.

17 Then the word of the LORD came to me: 18 “Son of man, the people of Israel have become dross to me; all of them are the copper, tin, iron and lead left inside a furnace. They are but the dross of silver. 19 Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: ‘Because you have all become dross, I will gather you into Jerusalem. 20 As silver, copper, iron, lead and tin are gathered into a furnace to be melted with a fiery blast, so will I gather you in my anger and my wrath and put you inside the city and melt you. 21 I will gather you and I will blow on you with my fiery wrath, and you will be melted inside her. 22 As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted inside her, and you will know that I the LORD have poured out my wrath on you.’”
