My Fave Sherlock BBC tropes - Casefics
Tumblr media
Around mid-month I’ll do a fic rec list with my fave AU genres or tropes. Summaries are taken from OP on AO3.
Okay, so there are obviously a lot of Sherlock fics where a case gets solved. Here, I only include the especially plotty ones.
*********************************
“The Case of the Green Gown” by splix
https://archiveofourown.org/works/2659472
...Watson had at that time deserted me for a wife, the only selfish action which I can recall in our association. I was alone.  -Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier
(Please ignore this useless summary! This is hands down the most complex but still completely logical casefic I’ve ever read. Layers upon layers of stunning reveals, intriguing case and beautiful characterization of our beloved. Awesome!)
“Ten Days” (part 1 of “The Fallen” series) by Engazed @engazed​
https://archiveofourown.org/works/456761
Sherlock Holmes has been dead for forty months, and John is at last beginning to live his life again. But just when he believes he might be happy, his world crashes back down around him.
John is named a missing person. Someone is pointing DI Lestrade in the wrong direction. And as the days pass, his situation only grows more dire. It seems like the disappearance of his best friend is the only thing that can bring Sherlock Holmes back from the dead.
“The Slash Man” (part 2 of “The Fallen” series) by Engazed @engazed
https://archiveofourown.org/works/949101
After ten days of unspeakable torture at the hands of Sherlock's worst enemies, John Watson has returned to Baker Street to live with a man whose death, no matter how fake, still haunts him. But his recovery is not easy, his friendship with Sherlock is strained, and a dangerous but hidden menace continues to threaten them both.
(”Blackbird, Fly” is part 3 and currently a WIP)
“The Green Blade” by verityburns @verity-burns​
https://archiveofourown.org/works/320879
As a serial killer hits the headlines, the police are out of their depth and the next victim is out of time. With faith in Sherlock Holmes at an all time low, this is a case which will push loyalties to the limit...
“A Goose Quill Dipped in Venom” by Polyphony
https://archiveofourown.org/works/344050
Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective, is called in to a very ordinary although brutal murder. Something is badly out of tune with the whole scenario and Sherlock finds himself becoming more and more obsessed with the crime - and also with the victim.
“The Iceman cometh” by Polyphony
https://archiveofourown.org/works/539555
Title from the Eugene O'Neill play of the same name. An intriguing puzzle tempts Sherlock to accept Victor Trevor's invitation to the French Riviera, but all is not what it seems. Frustrated by the case and increasingly concerned about an absent John, Sherlock uncovers far more than he was meant to and is forced to become a fugitive, pursued by those on both sides of the law, as he fights for his freedom and the lives of all those around him.
“The Edinburgh Problem” (part 1 of “Scotland series”) by snorklepie @snorklepie
https://archiveofourown.org/works/2392997
“A nice holiday, just a bit more...murdery.” John said drily. “Yes! The best kind of holiday!” Sherlock beamed. “So we won’t get bored!”
After he separates from Mary, John returns to Baker Street. Following a request for help from Sherlock's cousin Violet, the detective and his blogger take a trip to Edinburgh. John discovers more about the Holmes family and Sherlock than he bargained for, but tries not to run screaming.
“October to Hogmanay” (part 2 of “Scotland series”) by snorklepie @snorklepie
https://archiveofourown.org/works/3606486
“What are we, now?” John mused aloud, once they were in a cab heading back to Baker street. It was a cool, damp afternoon and Sherlock was studying the passers-by with detached interest. He glanced over at John with a raised eyebrow, his fingers idly worrying at one of the buttons on his coat.
“Nothing seems quite right. What would you call me, if somebody asked?” John waved a hand vaguely at the space between them. “What do we call… this?”
(”Savage Music, Sombre Light” is part 3 and currently a WIP)
“Periodic Tales -series” (18 fics) by 7PercentSolution @7-percent​
https://archiveofourown.org/series/504749
Lots of science, lots of case fic! This is Sherlock as chemist, using the periodic table of elements for many different reasons. Each story is centred around one particular element, in two parts. One focuses on aspects of Sherlock's childhood and events in his life; the other part shows how that has influenced his abilities as the world's only consulting detective, demonstrated through a case fic that shows off his deducing skills.
(most of Seven’s fics could be put onto this list btw, but I’ll add only one more)
“Devonshire Squires” (part 8 of “Fallen Angel” - series) by 7PercentSolution @7-percent
https://archiveofourown.org/works/11830755
Post THE/Pre So3, John and Sherlock try to rebuild bridges, but a demanding case challenges both of their assumptions about what happened to the other one during the hiatus. Lestrade tries to play peacemaker, but Mycroft's meddling is counter-productive. Case fic, sickfic and angst all rolled into one misery-laden ball of reading pleasure
“Midnight Blue Serenity” by BeautifulFiction @the-pen-pot​
https://archiveofourown.org/works/635897
“This was like nothing John had ever thought to associate with Sherlock: stubble, skin-tight jeans and three small silver rings gleaming at the crest of one ear. It was unbelievable, like stepping into an alternative universe, and John couldn't stop staring.”
When Sherlock infiltrates a club in order to track down a serial killer, his altered appearance is enough to make John question his assumption that Sherlock is beyond his reach. However, is he the only one who appreciates his flatmate's charms, or is Sherlock at risk of becoming the next victim?
“The Adventure of the Body Snatchers” by dioscureantwins
https://archiveofourown.org/works/5574523
“Body snatchers,” whispered a girl. “Oh, Mr Holmes. Oh, Davey…” Her eyes watered and with heaving shoulders she buried her face into her neighbour’s overcoat.
Sherlock looked perplexed. “Is this one of those pop culture things?” he asked the room at large.
John nodded and drank the last of his tea while his flatmate rolled his eyes before leaping to his feet.
“Right. I can’t think with so much stupidity in the room.” He began making shooing motions at the distraught girl and the boy who sat comforting her as well as the others. “Everybody out. John and I don’t have time for this nonsense. Out, out, all of you.”
“The Moonlight and the Frost” by CaitlinFairchild
https://archiveofourown.org/works/1998777
“And once again, you think you know what’s best for me.”
John rises from the chair, the anger and frustration and hurt overwhelming him, bursting out of every pore, and he doesn’t even know for sure that it’s Sherlock he’s angry at, really, but the only reason he tied himself to Mary in the first place is because the person he really loved left him behind, and the woman he married once sat in the shadows above a darkened swimming pool and aimed a sniper rifle at his heart and later shot his best friend in cold blood and cuckolded him and just gave birth to a child that wasn’t his and right now he just can’t do this, he just fucking can’t do this anymore.
John has to somehow rebuild his life in the wake of Mary's betrayal and Sherlock's deceptions.
“Sketchy” by serpentynka
https://archiveofourown.org/works/1090850
What (and who) will be left when nobody cares about your Work? A slow-burn fic with cases, places, mistaken identities, unfair choices, essential changes, violent feels, blatant lies, fearless portraiture, family secrets, high-risk bespoke gifts, durable friendships, bedtime stories, foreign travel and tongues, sickness (and health), and the significance of things which are slow to unfurl -- but cannot be ignored. Oh, and...porn.
“All the best and brightest creatures” by wordstrings
https://archiveofourown.org/works/582059
Sherlock sent Jim Moriarty to prison for killing Carl Powers at age ten. This is the story of the consequences.
“The adventure of the silver scars” by tangledblue
https://archiveofourown.org/works/5131763
“All this does not mean that I’m not still basically pissed off with you. I’m very pissed off, and it will come out now and then.” –His Last Vow   It’s been thirteen months since Mary shot Sherlock and John finds he’s still pissed off about it. Sherlock had thought everything was settled: John and Mary, domestic bliss. But when John turns up at Baker Street with suitcases, the world’s only consulting detective might not be prepared for the consequences. A new case. Some old scores to settle. Certain danger. Concertos, waltzes, and whisky.
“Major Pieces” by Lindentreeisle (Captainblue)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/162152
Sherlock knew that he could thoroughly rely upon John Watson's moral sense. And that's why he knew that Lestrade was wrong, wrong, wrong.

THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS   BY STEVE FINNELL
Are the writings of the early church fathers equal to the Scriptures?
Are the writings of Tertullian 140-230, Cyprain 200-258, Chrysostom 344-407, Augustine 354-430 the literal , God breathed, word from God the Father? No they are not, if their writings were the inerrant word of God then they would be included in the 66 books of the Bible.
The writing of the early church fathers are no more the inerrant word of God then are the writings of John Calvin, Martin Luther, Max Lucado, Robert Schuller, Billy Graham, John Knox, Benny Hinn, Joseph Smith, Alexander Campbell, or Mary Baker Eddy.
The only way Scripture is found in the writings of the early church fathers or any other writers, is if their writing were copied directly from Scripture, were repeated verbatim from the Bible, or if their doctrinal positions are synonymous with Scripture.
There are many who accept the writings of the early church fathers as being accurate, authoritative, and Biblically sound doctrine.
If you believe the early church fathers to have been pillars of the church, dependable in their preaching and writings, then, why do you not believe what they wrote?
Tertullian 140-230 A.D. " Baptism itself is a corporal act by which we are plunged into the water, while its effect is spiritual, in that we are freed from our sin."
Are men plunged into water to be sprinkled? Baptism is by immersion and it frees men from sin.
The Epistle of Barnabas 70-100 A.D. "Blessed are they who, placing their trust in the cross, have gone down into the water,indeed descended into the water full of sins and defilement!
Barnabas believed baptism was by immersion. He also taught that men were still in their sins before they were baptized. Barnabas did not teach "faith only" salvation.
Ireneus of Lyons 190 A.D. For we are lepers in sin, we are made clean, by means of the sacred water and the invocation of the Lord, from our old transgressions, being spiritually regenerated as new-born babes, even as the Lord has declared: Except a man be born again through water and the Spirit, he shall not enter the kingdom of heaven."
Ireneus did not believe in the false doctrine of original sin. He believe new-born babes were without sin. Why do you not believe that?
Theophilus of Antioch 181 A.D. "Moreover, those things which were created from the waters were blessed by God, so that this might also be a sign that men would at a future time receive repentance and remission of sins through water and the bath of regeneration all who proceed to the truth and are born again and receive a blessing from God.
Why do you not trust the church fathers when they say remission of sins is through water?
Cyprain 200-258 A.D. "For he has been sanctified, his sins being put away in baptism, and has been spiritually reformed into a new man, has become fitted for receiving the Holy Spirit; since the apostle says, As many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.!
Cyprain says sins are forgiven in baptism making us able to receive the Holy Spirit. It you believe the early church fathers are reliable, why do you not believe that?
Terullian 203 A.D. "Happy is our sacrament of water, in that, by washing away sins of our early blindness, we are set free and admitted into eternal life... [But] a viper of the [Gnostic] Cainite  heresy, lately conversant in this quarter, has carried away a great number with her most venomous doctrine, making it her first aim to destroy baptism...
It you trust Terullian, why do you not believe him when he said some men want to to destroy water baptism and its purpose?
REMEMBER SATAN WANTS YOU DRY OR HE WANTS YOU TO DENY WATER IMMERSION IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. HE WANTS YOU TO SPRINKLE NON-BELIEVING INFANTS FOR  NON-EXISTENT ORIGINAL SIN.
When, what the early church fathers said was in agreement with God's written word, it was true.
If you believe what the early church fathers wrote was authoritative, factual, trustworthy, and reliable, then, why not believe what they said even if it is at odds with your denominational catechisms and creed books?
THE BIBLE AND THE BIBLE ALONE SHOULD BE YOUR STANDARD FOR THE TRUTH!        
    Baptism
a Work? by George L. Faull
The
denominational
world informs us
that baptism is a
work and then quotes us Scriptures that we are not saved
by works. They love to quote Ephesians 2 to prove their
theory. Amazingly, the average person buys into that
much too quickly.
Let’s see if it makes sense. If baptism is a "work", then:
Jesus did a work to fulfill all righteousness.
Matthew 3:13-15, “13 Then cometh Jesus from
Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14
But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be
baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And
Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now:
for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then
he suffered him.”
John preached a work was necessary for
remission of sins.
Mark 1:4, “John did baptize in the wilderness, and
preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of
sins.”
Doing a work justifies God and one rejects the
counsel of God if he does not do this work.
Luke 7:29-30, “29 And all the people that heard him,
and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with
the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and
lawyers rejected the counsel of God against
themselves, being not baptized of him.”
Peter told the Jews to do a work for the remission
of their sins and to receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit.
Acts 2:38, “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and
be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive
the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
When a person gladly did a work he was added to
the church.
Acts 2:41, “Then they that gladly received his word
were baptized: and the same day there were added
unto them about three thousand souls.”
Since Paul asked what he must do, and he was
told go to Damascus and he would be told what
he must do (Acts 9:6). The only thing that
Annanias told him to do was to be baptized. But
the theory says that baptism is a work.
Paul washed away his sins by doing a work.
Acts 22:16, “And now why tarriest thou? arise, and
be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the
name of the Lord.”
When Phillip preached to the Eunuch "Jesus," he
must have preached a gospel of works, for the
Eunuch asked what hindered him to be baptized.
Acts 8:35-36, “35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and
began at the same scripture, and preached unto him
Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came
unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here
is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?”
In the great commission Jesus commands us to
go and get people to do a work.
Matthew 28:19, “Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”
He that believeth and does a work shall be saved.
Mark 16:16, “He that believeth and is baptized shall
be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
When Peter preached words whereby Cornelius
might be saved he commanded him to do a work.
Acts 11:14, Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou
and all thy house shall be saved.”
Acts 10:48, “And he commanded them to be
baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they
him to tarry certain days.”
Peter says that a work is the answer of a good
conscience.
"From the cowardice that shrinks from
new truth, from the laziness that is content
with half truths, from the arrogance that
thinks it knows all truth, O, God of Truth,
deliver us."2 THE GOSPEL UNASHAMED January 2011
I Peter 3:21, “The like figure whereunto even baptism
doth also now save us (not the putting away of the
filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience
toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:”
Paul says we are buried with him by doing a work
since a work is required for one to be raised to a
new life.
Romans 6:3-4, “Know ye not, that so many of us as
were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his
death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism
into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the
dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also
should walk in newness of life.”
To get into Christ, we must do a work.
Galatians 3:27, “For as many of you as have been
baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”
All these verses show that baptism was to be done to be
saved. So since Paul says we are not saved by
works, it must be obvious to any logical mind that
baptism is not a work and has nothing to do with
what Paul is talking about in Ephesians 2 when it
says we are not saved by works.
In regards to not being saved by works, Paul speaks often
in many other Scriptures that we are not saved by the
works of the Law.
Galatians 2:16, “Knowing that a man is not
justified by the works of the law, but by the
faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in
Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the
faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law:
for by the works of the law shall no flesh be
justified.
Galatians 3:2, “This only would I learn of you,
Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law,
or by the hearing of faith?”
Acts 13:38-39, “38 Be it known unto you
therefore, men and brethren, that through this
man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified
from all things, from which ye could not be
justified by the law of Moses.”
Romans 3:20, 28, “20 Therefore by the deeds
of the law there shall no flesh be justified in
his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is
justified by faith without the deeds of the law.”
The Ephesians 2 passage, which is so badly abused by
"faith only" advocates, does not say what they imagine it
says.
Ephesians 2:5-10, “5 Even when we were dead in sins,
hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are
saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit
together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the
ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his
grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not
of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest
any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath
before ordained that we should walk in them.”
Considering the above verses we know that Paul speaks
often about "works salvation". But remember that grace
is always contrasted to Law keeping.
Faith is always contrasted to the works of the law. It
is salvation that is the gift of God, not faith.
Salvation is because of God’s giving us what is
unmerited, not because we earned it or deserve it by
good works we have done.
We were created in Christ Jesus to do good works.
Good works is not the cause of our salvation but the
purpose of our salvation.
We do good works because we are saved, not to be
saved.
Question:
Did He save us to do the work of baptism? Of course
not.
He saved us to do good works to bless others. It is
obvious that baptism is not the works of which He
speaks in this Ephesians passage.
We are not saved by the good works of the Law or of
our own initiative. We are saved by Gods grace and
salvation is received when we appropriate to
ourselves by faith in what Jesus did, not by things we
have done.
Suppose you are lost in a snowstorm in the Northwest.
Finally you find a cabin. You go in it and a note is on the
table. It says, "to whoever is in need of the things in this
cabin, greetings. Feel free to use the firewood, food,
coats, and blankets that are in this cabin to keep yourself
warm in the event that you get snowbound. Signed, the
owner.”
Now that was an act of grace on his part, wouldn't you
say? The owner did not decide who was going to come to
the cabin but he stocked those things necessary to save a
freezing and hungry man. Would you be saved by
works if you built a fire, put on the coats, or snuggled
under the blankets?
In other words, when you appropriated to your use that
which was provided by grace by the host, would youJanuary 2011 THE GOSPEL UNASHAMED 3
go and tell people you were saved by your own
ingenuity and works, or would you say you were
saved by the owners’ grace in providing you the
things that you need for your salvation from the
storm?
I am amazed, in fact I marvel, at the stupidity of those who
equate grace with doing nothing at all. Noah was saved
by faith when he obeyed God and built an ark. It plainly
says Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Lot was
saved from Sodom, because he obeyed and fled the city.
Was Rahab not saved by faith when she hung the scarlet
thread out the window of her house? James says she
was. Wasn't that grace?
Yes... Each of these was saved by grace, through
obedient faith. Like wise Paul received grace by the
obedience to the faith.
Romans 1:5, “By whom we have received grace and
apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all
nations, for his name:”
And so the “Gospel" is made known to all nations for the
obedience of faith." Romans 16:26, “But now is made
manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according
to the commandment of the everlasting God, made
known to all nations for the obedience of faith:”
In the New Testament we are told plainly that the grace of
God that bringeth salvation teaches us to deny
ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live soberly and
godly in this present age. Titus 2:11-12.
Grace is not a sin permit. Grace is not a license to sin.
The grace of God allows us to appropriate the salvation
that He offers. This is done by coming into Christ and
accepting His forgiveness and His Spirit. He give His
Spirit unto those who obey Him.
Acts 5:32, “And we are his witnesses of these things; and
so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them
that obey him.”
Baptism is not a work of salvation. It is the means of
laying hold of His offer of getting into Him. A man given
a coat must put it on to enjoy its benefits. Likewise,
we are baptized into Christ.
Also, when we were baptized we dramatized personally
the Gospel. We died with Him. We were buried with Him
and were raised with Him to a new life. When one is
baptized one is playing the role of a dead man!!! See
Romans 6:3-6, 15-18.
How much work does a dead man do? It is not a work
of righteousness or obedience to the Law of Moses that
saves us, nor our faith in baptism.
Our faith is what God did when we were buried with Christ
in baptism.
Read it for yourself.
Colossians 2:12-13, “Buried with him in baptism,
wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of
the operation of God, who hath raised him from the
dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the
uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened
(made alive) together with him, having forgiven you
all trespasses;”
Who did the work at your baptism? Was it you or was it
God?
Is it faith in what we have done, or faith in what He has
done that saves us?
God did the work!!! In our baptism, we appropriated the
merits of Jesus’ death by dying with Him, being buried
with Him and letting Him raise us to a new life in Christ.
Glory to God, great things HE HATH DONEPosted by
Dear Brother
Faull:
What about Romans 9
and Pre-destination?
ANSWER:
Romans 9 does not teach what Calvinists think it
teaches.
God is no respecter of persons. He does not elect one to
salvation and another to damnation.
HE DOES ELECT PERSONS FOR SERVICE AND NOT
ANOTHER. He did in the past and He does today in the
Church. He elected the nation of Israel to be His people
for service.
He chose Shem to be the race, Abraham to be the nation
of that race, Judah to be the tribe of that nation, Jesse to
be the family of that tribe, David to be the house of that
family, and Mary to be the individual of that house through
whom Messiah would come and BLESS ALL NATIONS.
He did not choose Shem to be saved and Ham and
Japheth to be lost.
He did not choose Abraham to be saved and Nahor lost.
He did not choose Judah to be saved and his 11 brothers
lost.
He did not choose to save Jesse and damn his brothers,
nor did He choose David to salvation and his brothers to
be lost.
He did not choose to save Mary and her siblings lost.
HE CHOSE THEM FOR SERVICE, NOT SALVATION!!!
It was through them that the Messiah would come. It was
through them that the Incarnate Word would be given.
What advantage hath the Jew? Much every way, chiefly
that unto them were committed the oracles of God, to
whom pertaineth the adoption, the glory, the covenant,
the giving of the Law, the service of God, and the
promises. Romans 3:2 and Romans 9:4
Not all of Abraham’s seed were chosen for service. The
election was Isaac, not Ishmael nor his second wives’
children.
Likewise, Jacob was not chosen for salvation over Esau.
Jacob was chosen for service. It was not of him that wills
or runneth that God gives the privilege of being the
chosen vessels of service. He chooses whomsoever He
wills to be the one through whom He works.
Sometimes, due to His foreknowledge, He would raise up
a particular man to earthly honor and elevate him to be
King as he did the Pharaoh of the Exodus. He knew that
man. He knew he would resist Him and God would be
able to display His power over all the gods of the
Egyptians because of their stubbornness.
He did not want to raise up some weak milquetoast at that
time that would obey Moses. He raised up this Pharaoh
whom God knew would harden his heart and rebel
against Him so God could show His power to Israel and
the world.
Notice that the first few times it says, “Pharaoh hardened
his heart”. Then after a few more times when he was
really in rebellion, God is said to harden his heart. God
provoked him to wrath by His miracles as each one made
him more hardened.
It is like a son who is rebellious and hard-hearted already,
but when the father puts more on him the father is said to
harden the son’s heart. God did not have to do anything
to him to harden his heart initially. He raised up that
particular man because He knew him and that each
plague would harden him that much more. He was
chosen to be the king so that God could show His power.
Romans 9:17, Exodus 9:16-17
We have no right to complain that He uses one lump of
clay to glory and another lump to dishonor. God, in His
mercy, has made us both Jews and Gentiles, to His glory.
How? “As many as receive him to them gave he power
"From the cowardice that shrinks from
new truth, from the laziness that is content
with half truths, from the arrogance that
thinks it knows all truth, O, God of Truth,
deliver us."2 THE GOSPEL UNASHAMED July 2010
(the authority) to become the Sons of God, even those
who believe on his name.” John 1:12
Gentiles can, like Abraham, attain unto the righteousness
of faith. The Jews continue to try to be saved by law. They
do not seek righteousness by faith, as our father Abraham
did, but go about to establish their own righteousness.
Romans 10: 3
Let me illustrate a Biblical election to service:
A sodbuster in 1888 had five kids. He said to his oldest
son," Lets go into town and get some supplies. " "But Dad
I wanted to go hunting," said the boy. "Well, bring your
gun along and we’re bound to see something on the way
back," said the father.
All the kids wanted to go to the town overnight with them
to get the supplies. The father laughed and said, "If I took
the whole family there would be no room for the supplies.
We will bring back some goodies for all of you. This trip is
for all of the family." So they left.
Once they got to town it was evening, as it was a long
way to town. The boy was excited because there was a
circus in town. He got to see a lot of strange sites, a
shooting display, the fat lady, the midget, the elephants
and lions and even a ventriloquist. He got to sleep in the
hotel and eat in a restaurant. Dad even let him try some of
the new fangled ice cream.
The next morning they went to the general store and the
boy got to eat some new candy as he helped load the
wagon. He had a lot of privileges that the other 4 kids did
not have, but Dad had chosen him, not because he loved
him more, but he was the strongest. He could help load
the wagon and watch for trouble on the way home. He got
to shoot a deer on the way home and he and his father
lifted the heavy carcass into the wagon.
When they got home, the other kids came running and
were given some goodies. The whole family was blessed
for the winter because they had gone. Now the older son
was chosen for service. It was not that he was the favorite
even though he had special opportunities. The whole
family was blessed as the father intended them to be all
along.
Now note Abraham. “I am going to bless you, make you a
great nation, and in thy Seed (Singular, Christ) ALL the
nations of the earth will be blessed.” He was told, “You
shall be a blessing.” God blessed Abraham and used him
to bless all men. When Jesus was born it was said, "Fear
not, for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which
shall be to ALL people." (Not just an elect few that God
chose to save.)
What a damnable, ugly doctrine Calvinism is. God is no
respecter of persons. The offer is to whosoever will.
Come unto me All ye that labor and heavy laden and I will
give you rest.
The secret of understanding the Bible is not to use the
difficult passage that seems to contradict the simple ones.
The thing to do is to take the simple ones that are plain
and try to understand the difficult one. Calvinism likes to
use Romans 9 with their blasphemous doctrine of TULIP
and make John 3:16, Mark 16:15-16, and the great
commission and a zillion more that promises salvation to
any believer, untrue.
Remember that God chooses specific men and women
for service, not salvation. “He’s not willing that any should
perish but all should come to repentance.” II Peter 3:9
“He wills all men to be saved.” I Timothy 2:4

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
The 9th day, March 29th, looks at Atu XII - 'The Hanged Man' which corresponds to the path of 'Mem'. Todays reading is Liber LXV Chapter 3.
The Hanged Man occupies the path Mem which connects Geburah and Hod, directly opposite the Wheel of Fortune. The latter, ruled by Jupiter had a sense of positivity and ‘good fortune’ about it, something this card does not share. This card is on the Pillar of Severity on the Tree of Life and so we have this idea of restriction inherent in the cards meaning which is evident in the symbolism
Mem = the ocean, the water connection is the sea of Binah, the third sephiroth representing the field of potential experience available in a human body. This is part of a Trinity with 'The Fool' which represents air and 'The Aeon' representing fire.
Liber LXV Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente sub figûra אדני
A∴A∴ Publication in Class A
III
1. Verily and Amen! I passed through the deep sea, and by the rivers of running water that abound therein, and I came unto the Land of No Desire.
2. Wherein was a white unicorn with a silver collar, whereon was graven the aphorism Linea viridis gyrat universa.
3. Then the word of Adonai came unto me by the mouth of the Magister mine, saying: O heart that art girt about with the coils of the old serpent, lift up thyself unto the mountain of initiation!
4. But I remembered. Yea, Than, yea, Theli, yea, Lilith! these three were about me from of old. For they are one.
5. Beautiful wast thou, O Lilith, thou serpent-woman!
6. Thou wast lithe and delicious to the taste, and thy perfume was of musk mingled with ambergris.
7. Close didst thou cling with thy coils unto the heart, and it was as the joy of all the spring.
8. But I beheld in thee a certain taint, even in that wherein I delighted.
9. I beheld in thee the taint of thy father the ape, of thy grandsire the Blind Worm of Slime.
10. I gazed upon the Crystal of the Future, and I saw the horror of the End of thee.
11. Further, I destroyed the time Past, and the time to Come— had I not the Power of the Sand-glass?
12. But in the very hour I beheld corruption.
13. Then I said: O my beloved, O Lord Adonai, I pray thee to loosen the coils of the serpent!
14. But she was closed fast upon me, so that my Force was stayed in its inception.
15. Also I prayed unto the Elephant God, the Lord of Beginnings, who breaketh down obstruction.
16. These gods came right quickly to mine aid. I beheld them; I joined myself unto them; I was lost in their vastness.
17. Then I beheld myself compassed about with the Infinite Circle of Emerald that encloseth the Universe.
18. O Snake of Emerald, Thou hast no time Past, no time To Come. Verily Thou art not.
19. Thou art delicious beyond all taste and touch, Thou art not-to-be-beheld for glory, Thy voice is beyond the Speech and the Silence and the Speech therein, and Thy perfume is of pure ambergris, that is not weighed against the finest gold of the fine gold.
20. Also Thy coils are of infinite range; the Heart that Thou dost encircle is an Universal Heart.
21. I, and Me, and Mine were sitting with lutes in the market-place of the great city, the city of the violets and the roses.
22. The night fell, and the music of the lutes was stilled.
23. The tempest arose, and the music of the lutes was stilled.
24. The hour passed, and the music of the lutes was stilled.
25. But Thou art Eternity and Space; Thou art Matter and Motion; and Thou art the negation of all these things.
26. For there is no Symbol of Thee.
27. If I say Come up upon the mountains! the celestial waters flow at my word. But thou art the Water beyond the waters.
28. The red three-angled heart hath been set up in Thy shrine; for the priests despised equally the shrine and the god.
29. Yet all the while Thou wast hidden therein, as the Lord of Silence is hidden in the buds of the lotus.
30. Thou art Sebek the crocodile against Asar; thou art Mati, the Slayer in the Deep. Thou art Typhon, the Wrath of the Elements, O Thou who transcendest the Forces in their Concourse and Cohesion, in their Death and their Disruption. Thou art Python, the terrible serpent about the end of all things!
31. I turned me about thrice in every way; and always I came at the last unto Thee.
32. Many things I beheld mediate and immediate; but, beholding them no more, I beheld Thee.
33. Come thou, O beloved One, O Lord God of the Universe, O Vast One, O Minute One! I am Thy beloved.
34. All day I sing of Thy delight; all night I delight in Thy song.
35. There is no other day or night than this.
36. Thou art beyond the day and the night; I am Thyself, O my Maker, my Master, my Mate!
37. I am like the little red dog that sitteth upon the knees of the Unknown.
38. Thou hast brought me into great delight. Thou hast given me of Thy flesh to eat and of Thy blood for an offering of intoxication.
39. Thou hast fastened the fangs of Eternity in my soul, and the Poison of the Infinite hath consumed me utterly.
40. I am become like a luscious devil of Italy; a fair strong woman with worn cheeks, eaten out with hunger for kisses. She hath played the harlot in divers palaces; she hath given her body to the beasts.
41. She hath slain her kinsfolk with strong venom of toads; she hath been scourged with many rods.
42. She hath been broken in pieces upon the Wheel; the hands of the hangman have bound her unto it.
43. The fountains of water have been loosed upon her; she hath struggled with exceeding torment.
44. She hath burst in sunder with the weight of the waters; she hath sunk into the awful Sea.
45. So am I, O Adonai, my lord, and such are the waters of Thine intolerable Essence.
46. So am I, O Adonai, my beloved, and Thou hast burst me utterly in sunder.
47. I am shed out like spilt blood upon the mountains; the Ravens of Dispersion have borne me utterly away.
48. Therefore is the seal unloosed, that guarded the Eighth abyss; therefore is the vast sea as a veil; therefore is there a rending asunder of all things.
49. Yea, also verily Thou art the cool still water of the wizard fount. I have bathed in Thee, and lost me in Thy stillness.
50. That which went in as a brave boy of beautiful limbs cometh forth as a maiden, as a little child for perfection.
51. O Thou light and delight, ravish me away into the milky ocean of the stars!
52. O Thou Son of a light-transcending mother, blessed be Thy name, and the Name of Thy Name, throughout the ages!
53. Behold! I am a butterfly at the Source of Creation; let me die before the hour, falling dead into Thine infinite stream!
54. Also the stream of the stars floweth ever majestical unto the Abode; bear me away upon the Bosom of Nuit!
55. This is the world of the waters of Maim; this is the bitter water that becometh sweet. Thou art beautiful and bitter, O golden one, O my Lord Adonai, O thou Abyss of Sapphire!
56. I follow Thee, and the waters of Death fight strenuously against me. I pass unto the Waters beyond Death and beyond Life.
57. How shall I answer the foolish man? In no way shall he come to the Identity of Thee!
58. But I am the Fool that heedeth not the Play of the Magician. Me doth the Woman of the Mysteries instruct in vain; I have burst the bonds of Love and of Power and of Worship.
59. Therefore is the Eagle made one with the Man, and the gallows of infamy dance with the fruit of the just.
60. I have descended, O my darling, into the black shining waters, and I have plucked Thee forth as a black pearl of infinite preciousness.
61. I have gone down, O my God, into the abyss of the all, and I have found Thee in the midst under the guise of No Thing.
62. But as Thou art the Last, Thou art also the Next, and as the Next do I reveal Thee to the multitude.
63. They that ever desired Thee shall obtain Thee, even at the End of their Desire.
64. Glorious, glorious, glorious art Thou, O my lover supernal, O Self of myself.
65. For I have found Thee alike in the Me and the Thee; there is no difference, O my beautiful, my desirable One! In the One and the Many have I found Thee; yea, I have found Thee.
Blessed workings on the 9th day of Thelemic High Holy Season!
Love is the law, love under Will.

What Armour??.?
I don’t know about you. But Ephesians 6 has really had me confused, as well as a sight of hilariousness …new word….. meaning VERY amusing to the point of literally weeping……in heaven. Everyday…..well….not quite, literally physically pretending to put on the spiritual armour that Paul goes on about in Ephesians 6. Picking up the imaginary helmet and putting it on my head……etc.
And it meant nothing really. I didn’t have a blasted clue! Putting imaginary gear and believing that I was protected! And the bit, ‘For we struggle not against flesh and blood,……in verse 12! Whaaaat? Flesh and blood??! Why not just say human beings??? Now if I can’t see it, I don’t get it. Sorry. But I find that hard. I imagine demons as ghostly things, floating around venomously, whilst I wear this imaginary armour and worry about arrows being shot in my bottom where there isn’t any! Did you notice that? No trousers. So ones behind is rather vulnerable….
And I truly believed doing this worked. I thank God He makes us stand! Romans 14v4. Although I think He looked at me and said ‘Oh dear!’ you know the one……Any of you have kids? You are trying not to smile, but it’s so funny you have to go out of the room…..
When I was teaching, as a TA, I had to mark some year 2 spellings. The wee lambs had to spell the work ‘can’t’. Many of them had spelled it cunt……I was in bits. Thankfully the class didn’t notice…..I think God falls about laughing at some of the things I did and still do, trying to work it all out. But you know what? Just like we get Soooooo excited when our baby stands up or takes their first step, and tell EVERYBODY , I think He does that too! Look at Nic! I know her armour is a bit wonky, but LOOK! She’s trying to toddle, my baby girlie! Ahhhh…..I’m glad I gave her those angels though…..she REALLY needs ’em!
So. Back to this chapter. I bet even the poor Ephesians did what I did. Old Paul made it complicated. Why not make it plain? Have you noticed, the pastors say stuff and your left thinking ‘eh?’ I think I get it….or if your like me, thinking you HAVE got it. I will tell you a wee story, and you are NOT to laugh…My lady pastor, Susan, did a preach on forgiveness. And how damage happens to us if we do not eventually get to that place……of forgiveness that is……And she was talking about this damage and she said, about finding your keys to healing. So poor old me goes around for 10 YEARS thinking I had a key buried in my brain somewhere……until in another preach, she put it like this……..’ finding keys LIKE forgiveness’ and I went ‘Ohhhhhhhhhh! NOW I get it!’
A digression, I had my ex husband 1 in stitches thinking that petrol stations sucked petrol from streams deep in the earth…….I can be a bit like that……Or when I said to my sister, ‘That’s not a very nice name for pies, Puke-er pie’ , cos I did’nt know how to pronounce Pukka…..she nearly had a heart attack laughing….
So here I was, day after day, putting on imaginary armour, literally. Picking up a ‘imagined’ helmet and using my hands to stick it on my head etc. I was so worried about my bottom! I imagined extra armour……I kid you not…..
Hey! If the shoes WERE literal, could you wear high heels? I’ll stop now….
And it suddenly occurred to me just TODAY, as I sit here reading it, what it meant! AH HA! 30years and she gets it! O my goodness THIRTY years? I’m getting on! Anyway, cos I have had this AMAZING revelation I thought I’d share it with you!
I feel like a learned and holy guru right now…..smug and HUGE! Ahhhhh! Remember Nebechednezzer, Nick, concrete feet……
So.
Also, the bit about it’s not a flesh and blood struggle, flesh and blood – meaning humans. I’ll explain that first, cos it comes first! Flesh and blood. And Paul makes it clear that is NOT what we are fighting against. Neither does it mean going to the butcher shop. It means what is IN us. What our drives, or issues or besetting sins are, or in very plain English, what things we do that make us a pain in the arse to others and ourselves. The things we do that cause hurt and pain.
All sin hurts. And it’s THAT, that comes OUT of us. That is what Paul means. Out of the heart comes all evil. Matthew 15v19, Mark 7 v21. How do these things start? In our thoughts. We get them in, and if we KEEP listening to them, they grow in power. And eventually, if we do not deal with ’em, we act on them. They are first and foremost. Satan? Read my post on for the love of Lucifer. He actually comes last. Truly. We give him far to much attention.
Most of the stuff that sets us up to fall is in ourselves. Our pet hates, prides, lusts, damages etc. Like gossiping, swearing, sleeping around, bullying/bullied, lying, watching porn. Being petty. Then the heavier, murder, rape, burglary. All things that can totally destroy us and cause us to do things and act in ways that put God out of the centre of our attention and the sin in it.
Sin starts SPIRITUALLY (in the heart) but has PHYSICAL consequences, (ending in eternal death, if not sorted) is a good way of seeing it.
But also. Rulers of the darkness of the Age. Satan has Sergeants and Lieutenants, just like any army. Some have a little power, like over a shop or town, some have more, like a county or country. (Daniel 10v13)
Basically, these guys are like soldiers. They seek to detain and stop angels, like in the verse from Daniel, (mentioned above) from reaching Gods people and answering our prayers and aiding, or helping us. They also draw in and enslave people to keep them in darkness and their faces and hearts in chains, away from God. Porn is a very powerful weapon the enemy uses. It is like an addiction, and because the person often feels ashamed and hides it, it gives it more power. Always remember, secrecy is one of Satan’s and Sins most powerful weapons, hence, James 5v16. Confession merely means talking it out. Saying aloud what you have done or are struggling with. It breaks its power. It is not done to shame but to heal. Remember, there is now NO condemnation for us in Christ Jesus. Romans 8v1. Jesus knows we all have crap to sort out still. So don’t sweat the small stuff.
It is ultimately an illusion to think we can hide anything. Because in fact, according to God, the opposite will be true and will happen.Luke 12v 3 makes this very clear. Now you would think, Hey! God knows everything! He knows what I’m doing, so why the need to say it?! Yup. He does. But remember. God is about relationship, not principles. The principle states ‘God knows everything’ relationship states ‘Come and talk to me.’ As I have said before, God makes it clear, not only can we talk to Him and find mercy, never condemnation, Matthew 12v7,John 3v17, that we can actually argue with Him AND change His mind! Isaiah 43v26. The book of Jonah is a clear case of God changing His mind. Nineveh repented. God changed His mind and did not destroy them as He planned to do. The same as He did when He chose to save Noah and not wipe out every human as He intended. Genesis 6v7. Remember that! We can always talk to God.
He truly is a parent, a good parent. And like any good parent can be reasoned with, but for our best may not always agree with our argument. And now we get to the best bit. Our armour!
What truths did I glean? What facets did I see? Well, not a blasted imaginary helmet, I can tell you! Or a pair of iron pants!
First the pants. And no. There ain’t any! Literally and figuratively speaking…..Our bottoms are behind us. Yup. I KNOW that is obvious. But it goes deeper. A soldier does not face behind. They face in front. And as long as they are facing the right way, their bum is covered. So when we turn around, our bottom is a target for the enemy. So make sure you face God. Bit back to front, I know. But that’s the way it makes sense. To me at least. If you lose focus, the enemy is right up your arse in a matter of splitteth……..New word, meaning so damn quick, don’t do it, seconds!
The helmet. Which is our thinking! Paul tells us that we need to renew our minds which means changing our thinking. Changing it to what God says, not what the world says.Romans 12v2. So if you, like me, have lies you listen too, like ‘I’m stupid,’ or ‘I hate myself’ or ‘ I’m ugly’ or ‘ I’m a failure ‘ or ‘ I can do this on my OWN’ change that thinking. Cos that, my dearest, dearest beloveds, is Satan’s thinking. He loves us to have those little phrases. And another thing we do, thinking we are right and no body else is. And that’s butt talk. Literally. Pride cometh before a fall, or in the way I described it earlier, a boot up your arse, which will have you flat on your face in the shit. Don’t do it. By shit I mean your open to being deceived because of your pride. We can only hear God if we are in humility. We cannot hear Him if we have pride. Cos we have ear phones on. With ‘I’m the greatest, I am, I am!’ Playing. Remember who I AM is. Cos it ain’t us.
What is humility? Being open to finding you are wrong. And saying you are sorry, confessing it and changing it. And we can be proud about anything. Our interpretation of scripture, our own church and its doctrine, etc. I talk about unrighteousness pride here. That refuses to believe anyone else could be right. Of course you can be righteously proud of being part of a church! Just remember, your church can make mistakes and can get it wrong! And that your little denomination is part of the BODY of Christ and not a little hand or finger crawling along alone! You will die that way as you have no blood supply……
How do you know? If you are being humble that is………By being truthful about yourself and those around you. For example: Do you harbour anger or pain? If so, have you dealt with it? If not, you is open to being deceived. See my post about Ananias and Sapphira and the gift of discernment, should you want too. I go into much more detail.
The breastplate of righteousness. Guarding your heart. And what is in it. Being in right standing with God. Keeping short account of your sin. Or to put it another way, don’t let anything fester too long. Jesus told us, do not let the sun go down on your anger, cos if you do you give Satan a foot hold. Ephesians 4v26, sorry it was Paul. But I’m sure he heard it in good authority……God gives us a whole day to be pissed off. Sort it ‘afore bedtime! If you forget, or have issues with anger, be truthful and open. That way God can help you and you do not hinder yourself, or give the enemy more to work with than he already has!
Righteousness is us acting like Jesus as much as we can and letting the Holy Spirit work in us, by being open to change if we see we need too, or if somebody else helps us to see we need too. If it’s someone else, make sure you take it to God, and somebody you trust first. Not somebody that always agrees with you, but somebody who has the gift of discernment and is truthful. If you take it to somebody who always agrees with you, you could find you are both deceived cos you both feel the same way about not wanting to listen!
Belt of truth speaks for its self. Well it does now…..be open….to correction and truth. Do not tell lies. Do not listen to lies….like the friend who agrees with you cos you both like to gossip about one particular person all the time, for example. Or you both hate one church, cos your still pissed at how you were treated there and you know they don’t like that church either……always take truth you think is truth to God and be open for His interpretations, not just those of your pastor or the religious TV. Remember, Gods ways are NOT our ways, or possibly our pastors and friends……Isaiah 55v8-9. Ultimately we are ALL chosen AND redeemed because God said so. Not us. Even His grace in giving us the actual trust we have IN Him! Not even that comes from us! ( Ephesians 2v8) So God does what HE wants! Not us! Read my testimony of ‘ A God outside the box, A story of personal redemption’ if you dare. And I mean it. I’ll piss you off and drop a hint. God gave me my son when I was having an affair. Simple. Read it. It’s not blasphemy. It shows how God is not like we think He is. Honestly. Hold God’s hand and read it. Then if you disagree, that’s fine. But I tell you that is what happened.
Shoes of the gospel of peace. Literally, where ever you walk, where ever your feet stop, don’t gossip or slag down other churches or people. We are all Gods children and need to be one body, not like fingers and toes fighting each other! Romans 12v5. Learn to discern Gods body. And to do that, you need the belt of truth and breast plate of righteousness. Or in another’s famous words ‘ Know thy self’ cos if you don’t, you can be sure Satan does. And he will use it. So where ever you go do not slander. Do not profane or swear. I do. I have to keep saying sorry.
Make sure what come out of your mouth, where ever you are honours others and God. If you have an issue, only share it with someone who discerns. If you must talk to your friends about it, Deal with the anger and hate first! And say it in such a away you are not spreading dissention and poison, but just saying how it was. Don’t encourage gossip and backstabbing of another person or church. Remember, not only will we be judged by what we say, we will be judged by every careless word that comes out of our mouth. Matthew 12v36-37. If you know it will hurt, shut your gob! Unless it’s done in love. And humbly, cos if it ain’t, you is in danger of falling. Galatians 6v1. The same goes for all non Christians you know. If it ain’t nice, keep it to YOURSELF! We are to be God’s light and love, not spite and gossip and nastiness. What kind of Christ are we representing if we behave like that?
The shield of faith? That is merely the words that come out of our mouths. What does the bible say? Faith comes by HEARING, and hearing by the word of God! Romans 10v17. Also, Life and death is in the power of the tongue. Proverbs 18v21. Jesus said, ‘Tell the mountain to go into the sea! And if you believe it will’ Mark 1v23. It’s so obvious! How did God start? He SPOKE! ‘Light’ and there was light. Genesis 1v3. But it comes in two bits, not only must we speak it. We must trust it will happen. That is what believing is. That is what it meant when Paul talked about Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of what we do not yet see. Hebrews 11v1. All that means is this. I’ll give you example. You have longed for a weekend away. Your partner has promised it. You KNOW it will happen cos he said he has sorted it, but you have not done it yet and he has kept the date a secret!
Think as God is that partner! You have made your request. And if it is in accordance to Gods will, for example, not out of selfishness or greed or envy, then you know He will do it. But God does not normally tell us when! That is faith. Trusting God for your ask! ASK Him, then TRUST Him to do it!
Really! These people who translate bibles! They don’t half make it complicated, don’t you think? Thank God the Source Himself is a Good Teacher. Thanks, God! I bet He don’t stand in a blasted pulpit. That’s half the blasted problem……If you’d just GET DOWN……
The verse goes on to say, about the shield of faith quenches all the fiery darts of the enemy. Ephesians 6v16. The bible tells us our mind is the devils play ground. Philippians 4 v8-20. So we are back to those thoughts! CHANGE bad thinking! Undo bad habits! Like smoking, being drunk, sleeping around. All things that give Satan a way in to hurting us. Know the bible! Satan does! And He uses it. That is why so many Christians backstab others. Because they have pride in the fact ‘their’ interpretation of the bible is correct and everyone else’s is cultish! You give the old dragon some ammo if you do that!
The bible CLEARLY states we DO NOT know God’s ways OR His thoughts! Isaiah 55v8-9. 1 Corinthians 13v12. Not only are His ways and thoughts unknown to us, they are so high we can NEVER fathom or work them out! Hence my testimony I mentioned earlier. God is NOT who we think He is! And as the bible IS JESUS, because Jesus IS literally the WORD, get used to surprises. Cos if you don’t, I am warning you now, you could be in for trouble! Stop thinking you or your pastor know it all. Cos none of us does. Not even Paul did. That is what he wrote 1 Corinthians 13v12!
So be open to change. Learn to discern, which means to recognise Gods voice and ways. Know the enemy, also means yourself! This life is a fight. Romans 7v15-20. Don’t be deceived. It ain’t all covered by blanket or conversion prayer, it’s growing up! Becoming a warrior in Christ’s army. Showing this world that Christ is and He has won their freedom and healing. Nowhere does it say it’s all done at conversion. It’s a battle. You WILL face trials and temptations 1 Peter 5v8, James 1v2, John 16v33. So these preachers who say otherwise, talk BOLLOCKS! This life is a fight, hence the blasted armour!!
So don’t be afraid. Jesus has already won. But get that armour on and Stand. Which means wait. With that armour on. In battle mode. Ephesians 6 v 13 Cos it’s when we stand, that God looks down and says ‘BRILLIANT! Look guys! My Son/daughter, standing, armour on. And waiting for me. They don’t see Me coming yet, but they blasted well believe it. Ha ha! That’s my son/daughter. Now let’s go kick Satan’s arse!’

Well, It's Time I started these 'Best of' Reviews for what Animated thing had Happened this Year, and Now I'm ready for it, and for me, I think that 2017 was a great Year for Cartoons on TV (and one on the Net), and here are my Reviews on why.
Ben 10(2016 series) – Although the Show was Made and Released in 2016 at other Foreign territories, It finally got a Release in the US in 2017. And some Folks might say that some reboots aren’t very too Bright (and I would agree on TTG and/or PPG 2016), But I find this to be a Nerve Calming excitement, some of the Character Designs/Re-Designing look Cute & Likable to Me. And the One Thing that gets me Fired up for this Series is that some Artists I know worked on this Program, like Mr. Ryan Krammer(Uncle Grandpa, & SpongeBob's 'Food Con Castaways' episode), Ms. Monica Ray(Harvey Beaks, Magic Children Doing Things) as Storyboard Artists & additional Writers& Mr. Colin Heck(Legend of Korra, Harvey Beaks) as Supervising Director. And It was Wonderful to hear Ms. Jessica DiCicco(Lynn & Lucy Loud) voicing a Different-looking FrightWig, who the Character was previously voiced by Cree Summer in the Original Series. But believe me, I remember seeing the Original Ben 10 series along with Alien Force, but didn’t quite go thru the Rest of the Series until the Reboot came. Even the Original villains of this Show look so Cute (except for Billy Billions), which that Cuteness also goes to the re-Designing of the other Villains from the Original ‘Ben 10’ series, and the More appearance I’ve ever seen from a Villain is Steam Smythe (voiced by Roger Craig Smith of ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ & ‘Regular Show’).
Billy Dilley’s Super-Duper Subterranean Summer – Quite an Interesting Show, and I bet many people thought that the Program reminded them of ‘Uncle Grandpa’, so Keep in Mind, Most of the Artists & Writers who worked on this Series previously worked on ‘Spongebob Squarepants’ & ‘Uncle Grandpa’. Even the Show’s Creator Mr. Aaron Springer voicing Billy almost sounds like Paul Rugg of 'Freakazoid', 'Pig, Goat, Banana, Cricket', & 'Secret Mountain Fort Awesome'.
Samurai Jack(Season 5) - I truly Enjoyed watching 'Samurai Jack' when I was Young, this Program along with 'Courage the Cowardly Dog', 'Juniper Lee', & 'Chowder' are Probably the only Good Old Cartoon Network Programs that I give Full Circle to in my Childhood. After the "Jack and the Baby" episode, the show went into a Deep Cliffhanger, and I truly Sympathize the Great Hero Jack for it, But Twelve Years Later, a New Season had Finally cometh, with the Show's Original Creator Mr. Genndy Tartakovsky coming to Ex. Produced the series after some Great Work back at Sony Pictures Animation(Hotel Transylvania films, & that Popeye Test Footage). And Instead of the Program being a-little Lighthearted like the Past Seasons with just Slime, Oil & Robotic Guts, and Major Boo-boos, the New Season 5 now airing on Adult Swim has moved to a Darker Tone, which I like as much as 'Return to Oz', 'Over the Garden wall', & 'the Black Cauldron', with some major Blood, Profanity, and some Grown-Up jokes put into it. And it was a Surprised to see some Old Characters that I recognize to make some Cameos in that one episode(or few), such as the Woolies, Demongo, and the Ravers, the Robots and their Robo-Samurai, and the "Jump Good" Monkey man & his Tribe. And some Fresh New Voices came in by Surprise, such as Mr. Chris Parnell & Keegan Michael Key in some Episodes. And I was Lucky to film the Final Confrontation between Jack & Aku during the Premiere of the Series Finale for Instagram. And did I nearly weep during the Part that Now that Aku is Gone, Ashi will Never be Born in the Future(because of the Space Timing Continuum), and I got to say, Ashi was a Cute Character that I truly Sympathize because of her Dark Past & People Torturing her back then, and I like her Voice Actress, the Legendary Ms. Tara Strong (Powerpuff Girls, My Little Pony, Ben 10, & Chowder). And even since Aku's Original voice actor Mr. Mako passed away back then, I say that Mr. Greg Baldwin really did a Good Job impersonating Mako voicing Aku, just like he did with Iroh of 'Avatar: the Last Airbender' & 'Legend of Korra', almost sounded like If Mako aged Puberty. I would say I'm Gonna Miss this Show, just like how I'll miss Chowder, Regular Show, and soon Uncle Grandpa.
Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Battle for Mewni /SvtFoE Season 3– To come Clear, I only watched the First Four Stories of that TV Movie Special, from “Return to Mewni” to “Marco and the King”, Because during the Further Episodes there was an Artist whose Career I clearly dislike, Tyler Chen of ‘Clarence’, ‘Fish Hooks’, ‘Pickle & Peanut’ & the Overrated Bravest Warriors minisode “drama Bug”, and that’s why I never made it to the Ending point, But I do read Perfectly that Star won the Battle against the Vile Toffee, and she got her Wand Redesigned. But what I can tell you that one of my Favorite Episodes from that so Far is “Moon the Undaunted”, and I gotta say that Eclipsa, Queen of Darkness is one of my Most Favorite Characters from the show so far. As for the Rest of Season 3 so Far, I’ve only watched Episodes that are NNOT directed by Chen, cuz remember when I said I don’t like his Career, but my Most Favorite Episodes out of Season 3 so Far is ‘Stranger Danger’, ‘Lint Catcher’, & ‘Trial by Squire’. Also, Despite having appeared in the 2016 episode "Page Turner", I like Hekapoo's appearance in the 2017 episode "Running with Scissors", which is One of my Most Favorite Episodes of Season 2.
The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos - I really Enjoyed this Half-Hour Special of ‘the Loud House’, the New Characters there seemed Likable/Lovable unlike the Unlikable/Hate-able ones in Royal Woods where some Folks aren’t that Disgusting as Hell(Funny Business, Cereal Offender), and It’s also a Good Episode where no Sister Siblings were Complete & Utter jerks(Sleuth or Consequences, a Novel Idea), Even what surprised me Completely is that this was the First Thing in a Kids’ Cartoon to showcase a person with Down-Syndrome, and believe me, I felt Really Disappointed on how they were Portrayed in Adult Cartoons, Mostly *COUGH*Family guy*COUGH*. But in a Kids Cartoon, they were Treated Properly with Good Respect. And the Character Rosa reminds me of Mrs. Claus/Mama from Rankin/Bass’ ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ for some Wacky Reason, “Eat, eat, EAT”. And I still Love the RonnieColn Fandom Completely, that one LH Episode “Back Out There” almost Ruined some Things, and that Led me to have Mixed to Negative Feelings for Lincoln’s Friends Clyde, Rusty, Liam, Zach. So I would say that ‘the Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos’ is a Fun-Filled Episode that I could watch Multiple Times, It’s got Cute & Funny moments, some Heart-Warming Drama, and some Great Entertainment when the Alley Cats run amuck in the Casagrande apartment.
OK K.O! Let’s be Heroes – This Show has become a Great New addition to the Grand CN, It was created by Mr. @ianjq, who was previous storyboard supervisor & storyboard revisionist of ‘Adventure Time’, Writer & Story Artist for ‘Secret Mountain Fort Awesome’, voice of Wallow of ‘Bravest Warriors’, & developer, co-executive producer, supervising director, storyline writer & storyboard artist for ‘Steven Universe’, and I really like him Voicing Rad & other Characters such as Darrell & Crinkly Wrinkly in the K.O. program. It was based off a short Pilot episode ‘Lakewood Plaza Turbo’ back in 2013, in that Great Year of Discoveries along with other pilots for ‘Steven Universe’, ‘Over the Garden Wall’,  & ‘Clarence’, and that was a Time when I was also Fascinated with Disney’s Nine old Men and their Work/Book ‘the Illusion of Life’, and watching that Awesome Documentary on Cartoon Network’s ‘Next Generation of Animation’, I will always accept New Cartoon Network shows like ‘Adventure Time’, ‘Regular Show’, ‘Uncle Grandpa’, ‘Over the Garden Wall’, ‘Steven Universe’, & ‘We Bare Bears’ into the Cartoon Society. But as for ‘OK K.O.’ , the seems pretty Wonderful, It has a Blend of 1970’s Obscure Anime looks into the Western Animation looks, and How they have some Classical Cartooning Principles(Funny Cartoon Noises, Jokes & Gags) into the Modern Day Greatness. Even some of the characters seemed likable, Mostly on either Lord Boxman(voiced by the Great Jim Cummings), some of the Villainess Characters that the Heroes might met(Professor Venomous, Cosma, & Mr. Cardsley), and even some of the Main Good Characters, especially the Ones I also Sympathize like K.O., Rad, Enid, Dendy, Carol, & Mr. Gar, and I gotta say that Character Crinkly Wrinkly is the Funniest character that I’ve ever seen. I think it was Good that I first get to watch the Series when It was On-Demand before it aired on actual TV, but I have yet to see it’s 2013 Pilot episode along with the Rests that Aired on 2013, But I do know that it had a Mobile Game back then (though I did not Download it or played it) and a Series of Shorts by other Animation Studios, but I haven’t watch them because I am Never a huge fan of SCIENCE SARU and I’m Not too certain about Studio Yotta. But I gotta say also, This Show is a Fanstastic Experience on the Grand CN, Filled with Precious Heart-Warming episodes with Good Life Lessons like How to handle your own Duties as an Employer or how Great your Boss can be (‘Legends of Mr. Gar’), or If you Try not to Spoil your life by being a Self-Proclaimed Selfish ‘Cool Kid’ like Brat, you should have a More Focused Future ahead of you, even without going to Jail (‘We’ve Got Pests’), and the Show had some Crazy Developments such as Enid & Rad used to being a Couple (‘Second First Date’), and Enid being a Witch and being in a Family of Halloween-Themed Characters (‘Parents Day’). Plus the shows got a Good crew, Like the Program's Supervising Director Toby Jones, who Previously worked on 'Regular Show', and one of the Show's Story folks Dave Tennant, previously does some Stories for Pete Browngardt Cartoons, Which I think makes it Better for Me.
Pickle Rick – Why not, It’s “PICKLE RIIIICK!!!!”, I thought I would pass on this, But eventually won my Heart, don’t ask why, but Things just happen like that.
The Summoning - I just Discovered this while browsing on the internet probably from Fan-Art on DA, and I watched it on Youtube, and I gotta say, this Cartoon is Really Cute, Funny, & Creepy at the same time. The Main Characters seemed Lovable, and I mean Claire & Edgar, the Bunny Character is hugely Funny in a way, Though I feel Terribly Bad for the characters accidentally eating some things like Eating some Dandruff from a Big Head Island which Claire thought it was Dirt, and Eating Poop which Edgar thought it was Chocolate. But to make Matters Better for the Cartoon, Celmation Hero Ms. Natasha Allegri(Bee & Puppycat, Fionna & Cake) worked on the short as Director, Story Artist, & Character Designer, WHAT A HERO!!! And the Animations/Celmation was done by Digital eMation inc., the Celmation Team behind ‘Ok K.O. Let’s be Heroes!’ & the Season 5 of ‘Samurai Jack’.
The Movies of 2017 & Probably some on Video Games should be made soon.

COVID Branded “Forever Virus” After Apocalypse Warning Issued By Trump And Obama Triggers Prophecy Alert
By: Sorcha Faal, 
An in-depth new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today discussing the findings of world renowned European Union infectious disease scientist Professor Giuseppe Tritto, who as the President of the World Academy of Biomedical Sciences and Technologies (WABT) revealed that COVID-19 was engineered in a Communist Chinese lab and an effective vaccine is unlikely to be found, says further confirmation of this finding has just been released by Professor Sir Mark Walport, who as member of the British government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) has now notified the world that COVID-19 “is not going to be a disease like smallpox which could be eradicated by vaccination”, states that “this is a virus that is going to be with us forever in some form or another and almost certainly will require repeated vaccinations”, and who further describes in the future it will be “a bit like the flu”—scientific realities known to President Donald Trump, though he’s being prevented from fully confronting this disease, and as he just explained to the American people in his Tweet saying: “The deep state, or whoever, over at the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and therapeutics…Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd”—a date of 3 November when the American people will elect whom their next leader will be—and during their twin visits to Pennsylvania this week to persuade voters to their side, saw President Trump and former President Barack Obama both agreeing on one thing: “Win…Or It’s The Apocalypse”—an apocalypse warning that then triggered a “Prophecy Alert” coming from Pastor Paul Begley, who exclaimed to his 337,000 YouTube subscribers the dire warning: “Guys we've got breaking news coming out of the holy land, the holy land is on the brink of war now…If they say “peace and safety”, sudden destruction cometh”.  
According to this report, with the word “hyperbole” having the meaning of exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally, this word most certainly can’t be applied to the apocalypse warnings just issued by President Trump and former President Obama—as both of them know that America is on a brink like none since the Civil War—which was truly the most apocalyptic moment in American history that cost the lives of over 750,000 of its citizens, fully 20% of its population—was a civil war between the Republican Party Free States and the Democrat Party Slave States—and is currently replaying itself out in near exact detail to the events that occurred nearly 160-years-ago when this conflict embroiled all of America during the 1860’s—and today even sees the exact events of 1864 playing out in real time—the year that saw President Abraham Lincoln running for re-election as this civil war raged—while opposing him were antiwar Democrat Party forces embedded in the Free States (named Copperheads after the venomous snake), who wanted President Lincoln defeated so they could make an immediate compromise with the Confederate rebel leaders in the Democrat Party Slave States and the end of the abolition movement to free black slaves—and to defeat President Lincoln, saw these Democrats masterminding a mail-in voting plot in order to steal the election for themselves.
In knowing that today’s socialist Democrat Party is once again attempting to steal an election using a mail-in voting scheme like they did against President Lincoln in 1864, this report details, President Trump is now sounding the alarm to the American people warning them that: “You'll never have an election count on November 3…You're not going to be able to know the end of this election, in my opinion, for weeks, months, maybe never”—and alarm, however, President Trump won’t be able to sound to the American people after this election takes place, as socialist Democrat Party supporting social media giants like Facebook are preparing a “Kill Switch” to cut off Trump from being able to communicate with anyone while this election is being stolen—and while cutting President Trump off from the American people, shockingly sees Facebook declaring that: “If a post encouraged people to send in multiple copies of their mail-in ballots, the company would not remove the messages”.
The socialist Democrat Party plot to steal from President Trump an election victory, this report notes, sees it being supported by a massive leftist mainstream media propaganda campaign made breathtaking for the sheer number and magnitude of the outright lies it contains—most notable of which was former President Obama screaming that President Trump was trying to “kneecap” the US Postal Service by taking all of its mail boxes from the streets of America, and his further claiming that elderly people are no longer receiving their Social Security checks in the mail—though the facts show the Obama-Biden Regime were the ones who removed at least 14,000 mail boxes from the streets of America because they weren’t being used—and everyone receiving Social Security checks have them direct deposited into their bank accounts—a fact Obama knows, because he was the one who signed the law mandating Social Security direct deposits that went into effect on 1 March 2013.  
While watching this mail-in voting plot to steal the 3 November election accelerate, this report details, Donald Trump Jr. pointed out to these socialist Democrats the obvious fact that “If you can loot in person…you can vote in person”—and though not directly responded to, socialist Democrat Party leader Joe Biden did just proclaim: “I will shut down the nation in January if scientists tell me to”—and if Biden is being truthful about his willingness to do what the scientists tell him to do, it means he has to listen to coronavirus expert scientists Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx—both of whom have already said it is safe for the American people to vote in person.
In reality though, this report continues, neither Joe Biden or his socialist Democrat Party have any intention whatsoever of listening to any scientists when it comes to voting, as they known that without their mail-in voting scam they have no hope of beating President Trump—and is why socialist Democrat Party leader Nancy Pelosi rushed her comrades back to the US Congress yesterday to vote on a sham mail-in voting bill for the US Post Office that has zero chance of ever becoming law—though it did give power to socialist Democrat Party postal workers in Washington State to openly defy the US Postal Service and put back in service mail sorting machines ordered disconnected—which in reality is nothing but a propaganda stunt, as these mail sorting machines were disconnected in the first place because they weren’t being used—and as explained by US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who further vowed to the American people there is nothing wrong with their postal service—is the same US Postal Service that in February filed a patent for a blockchain-based secure voting system for future elections—and whose myths about vilely being spread by leftist propaganda to terrorize the American people include:
Myth: Louis DeJoy Is A Trump Stooge Sent In To Cripple The USPS.
The postmaster general has been tarred as a stooge of President Trump—a GOP fundraiser whom Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has blasted as having “no prior postal experience.”
In fact, DeJoy has decades of experience in the logistics industry, and the Postal Service is deeply enmeshed in the nation’s larger logistics system.
USPS pays FedEx to fly mail; privates shippers pay USPS to carry parcels the final mile. DeJoy has spent years very successfully navigating the business of moving stuff from place to place.
Contrast that record with the last two postmaster generals. They were good people who rose through the ranks of the USPS to lead the organization, but neither could arrest the Post Office’s long slide into crises. It makes sense to bring in a private-sector leader.
Treating DeJoy as the tip of a Trumpy tentacle also ignores the fact that Trump has no direct control over DeJoy.
Unlike other major agency heads, the postmaster general is not appointed by the President.
He is selected by the USPS Board of Governors, whose six members include four Republicans and two Democrats.
Yes, Trump appointed all these governors, but the Senate approved them all by bipartisan votes, and they have seven-year terms.
Myth: The USPS Needs More Money To Handle All The Election Ballots It’s About To Deliver—And Trump Is Blocking It.
The Postal Service is cash flush.
It has $13 billion in its Treasury account, more than it has had in years. The flood of parcels into the Post Office during COVID-19 has lifted the USPS’ third-quarter revenues higher than last year by $550 million. The CARES Act, signed by Trump in late March, also gave the agency an additional $10 billon borrowing line from the Treasury.
The Postal Service also doesn’t need an emergency appropriation from Congress to carry election ballots.
Rather, it is state and local elections officials who need a heap of money to purchase postage for the surge in absentee voting and to tighten up election security.
Myth: There's A Trumpian Plot Afoot To Cripple The Post Office, In Plain Sight.
Since Trump’s comments on Fox, the Internet has lit up with stories mail collection boxes being locked or trucked away and postal sorting machines being taken out of service “to prevent Americans from voting.”
What these anecdotes ignore is that USPS is always making adjustments to run an efficient mail system.
People move, mail flows change. Mailboxes might seem like permanent fixtures, but they’ve never stayed in place forever.
Between 1985 and 2011, the number of blue mail collection boxes in Seattle was reduced from 400 to 160. Nationwide, 14,000 mail collection boxes were removed by the USPS between 2012 and 2017, according to the Postal Service Inspector General.
Were Presidents Bush I, Clinton, and Obama also trying to rig the vote?  The question answers itself.
The same holds true for sorting machines.
As far back as 2012, the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office said the Post Office needed to reduce its paper mail sorting network to respond to the decreased mail volume.  Which the USPS has been doing for years.
And in the 2018 election the Postal Service was given high scores by its Inspector General for its delivery of election mail.
With Joe Biden and his socialist Democrats having now concluded what elite leftist Hollywood actor John Cusack called “a shitty celebrity filled reality TV convention”, and elite Hollywood actress Rose McGowan (the founder of the MeToo movement) raged in fury about saying to Joe Biden and these Democrats “You are the season of darkness…You are monsters…You are frauds…You are the lie”, this report concludes, it’s worth remembering that on the final night of this event, that’s been called “Commie Fest 2020” and the “Ghost Convention”, it started off with two Biden terrorists demonically attacking a 7-year-old boy child in an actual satanic ritual event preceding Biden’s nomination acceptance speech—Biden terrorists identified as 21-year-old Oliva Winslow, who was arrested and charged with second-degree robbery, second-degree conspiracy, and endangering the welfare of a child—and 21-year-old Camryn Amy, who was arrested and charged with first-degree robbery, second-degree conspiracy, endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of offensive touching—and if bailed out of their jail cells by tomorrow, will be able to watch the first night events of the 2020 Republican National Convention—that’s now being called the “Peoples Convention” and will feature throughout the week 125 people, the majority of whom will be ordinary American citizens telling their stories about the love they have for their great nation—two of whom will be a little 7-year-old boy child name Riley and his mother Abbey—is the same child that these Biden’s terrorists left terrorized and sobbing—and whose mother now asks all of America: “If Joe Biden supporters will do this to children — what will they do you?”.
7-year-old child Riley (left) and his mother Abbey (right) recover from Biden terrorist attack and are ready to stand with President Donald Trump to defend America.

The writings of Luke the physician starting with his version of the gospel - Luke 9:37-50 comments: he that is least among you
Luke 9:37 ¶  And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him. 38  And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child. 39  And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him. 40  And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not. 41  And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither. 42  And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
     9:43 ¶  And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, 44  Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. 45  But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying. 46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. 47  And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, 48  And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. 49  And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. 50  And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
 The day after they came down from the mountain where they saw Jesus transfigured, glorified, a man cried out to Jesus to deliver his only child from an evil spirit. We have a hard time today believing that there is an evil spirit or mind behind some of the most self-destructive behavior people express seeing that we have reduced everything to a purely physical process. Whatever is wrong must be some disease and, of course, our not being able to treat it successfully is handled by a careful display of statistics; a third will be cured by a psychiatrist, a third will be helped, and a third will never recover or something along those lines. We do not accept nor realize that in some cases there may be something behind the behavior that is a conscious, living entity. Movies are made and stories are written about such things but they overplay and dramatize the suffering to a point where it is so unreal as to be easily dismissed once the credits roll.
 The people here are amazed at God’s power because they recognize that these possessions and oppressions are not all that uncommon. They were amazed at the things Jesus was doing, pretty remarkable stuff in alleviating suffering. Then, Jesus declares again that He must be delivered into the hands of His executioners but the disciples do not understand it. This underscores the fact that, unlike what many preachers says, the Jews were not looking forward to the Cross. They repeatedly did not understand what was in store for their Messiah. They could not understand it. The gospel writers all repeat the ignorance of the disciples of Jesus in understanding His coming murder at the hands of men.
 Luke 18:31 ¶  Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. 32  For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: 33  And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. 34  And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
 Matthew 16:21 ¶  From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.22  Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.23  But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
 Mark 9:10  And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
 Even at the empty tomb they still did not understand.
 John 20:1 ¶  The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 2  Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them,
They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 3  Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. 4  So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 5  And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. 6  Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, 7  And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. 8  Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. 9  For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
 Apparently, the death, burial, and resurrection of the Messiah was not taught or understood.
 Read Psalm 22, the Psalm whose first line Jesus quoted from the Cross to direct us to it. Then, notice;
 Psalm 16:10  For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
 Then, see this verse on a physical resurrection from Job, written between 1500 to 2000BC.
 Job 19:25  For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26  And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27  Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
 And a thousand years later see this verse on a physical resurrection from Isaiah.
 Isaiah 26:19  Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
 And then, a few hundred years later, as Daniel writes under the reigns of the last Babylonian emperors and the first Persian.
 Daniel 12:2  And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
 Keeping this understanding of the ancient Jew and Gentile before the Jew came into being (Job) read the “dry bones” prophesy in Ezekiel 37.
 Ezekiel 37:12  Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
 Then, in this context read about the Messiah again in Isaiah 52:13 through 53:12 and notice this verse;
 Isaiah 53:10 ¶  Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
 (Modern Jews claim that the suffering servant in Isaiah is the Jewish people rather than the Messiah but that interpretation didn’t become popular until the rabbi, Rashi, in the 11th century. The passage is clearly about an individual.)
 The Messiah after His execution will see his seed. Go back to Psalm 22 and see His seed mentioned, those who become born again.
 Psalm 22:30  A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
 Could this ignorance the disciples had have been the cause of the false teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees whom John the Baptist called vipers? A viper isn’t just a snake, but it is a snake that injects venom into its victim. False teachers are condemned in 2Peter 2 and Jeremiah 23. Jesus Himself condemns them. Look at the link with dogs and swine between the following and 2Peter2. The following verse might just be referring to new converts being destroyed with bad doctrine.
 Matthew 7:6  Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
 Jesus is often critical about false teaching of the religious elite. He likened their doctrine to leaven.
 Matthew 16:5 ¶  And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6  Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7  And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken
no bread. 8  Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9  Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 10  Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11  How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12  Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
 He condemned them for their teachings.
 Mark 7:1 ¶  Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. 2  And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault. 3  For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. 4  And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables. 5  Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? 6  He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7  Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men. 8  For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9  And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10  For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11  But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12  And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13  Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
 He regarded the way the elite created proselytes or new converts, what some sources say they referred to as, “new creatures,” as unconscionable.
 Matthew 23:15  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
 So it is with American Protestant fundamentalism today. Twisting the Bible to support an agenda is as common today as it was then. Clearly, the elite was not teaching the truth about the Messiah to come because the people did not know what was to happen. They were more concerned with Israel regaining preeminence in that part of the world than scriptural truth. They would have achieved their desire if they had emphasized doctrinal truth. God could have honored Israel for their faithfulness to the mysteries of God (1Corinthians 4:1). But, they would reject their Messiah.
 Humans are always about status and who is number one. The disciples are no different. They argue among themselves about who shall be the greatest among them. This will be an issue again later in Luke 22. Jesus presents a child to them as an example of who is the greatest for who receives the child in His name receives Him and the least of them shall be the greatest. Those people with the lowest status or perceived value, like a child, are regarded in God’s kingdom as the highest. It is virtually the opposite of human-centered importance. In God’s view children, women, slaves, and the poor have a higher value placed on them than those who are in power, in control, on earth. We would do better to live our lives in simple humility and obedience to Christ rather than in restless ambition and a quest for status from which flows temptations that harm our faith. I am not saying not to be the best you can be but to set your affections on things above, not on things of this earth. And, remember, the Jews were thinking of an earthly and very political kingdom of God, a recreation of Israel’s ancient glory. It is sort of like a fundamentalist musing about which celebrity pastor will be in charge of America during the millennial reign of Christ or, as I heard one celebrity preacher/television personality say once, that God would need qualified technicians to run water treatment facilities in the millennium.
 Finally, in this passage we have a similar scene to one during Moses’ time.
 Numbers 11:27  And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. 28  And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. 29  And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
 We must remember that there are many who do not worship as we do but who do exalt the name of Christ. I once heard a great sermon on the authority of Christ from a so-called faith-healer whom I regarded as a fake. That is, until I heard that sermon I didn’t realize he was capable of sound doctrine. God used him in that moment, in that sermon, and who am I to condemn someone preaching the truth?

This book is about the Mazzaroth. You can download a copy here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/49018 You may want to read about OPHIUCHUS!!! _________________ 1 and 2. SERPENS and OPHIUCHUS.                      _The Struggle with the Enemy._ Here, _Serpens_, the serpent, is seen struggling vainly in the powerful grasp of the man who is named _O‐phi‐u‐chus_. In Latin he is called Serpentarius. He is at one and the same moment shown to be seizing the serpent with his two hands, and treading on the very heart of the scorpion, marked by the deep red star _Antares_ (wounding). Just as we read the first constellation of the woman and child _Coma_, as expounding the first sign VIRGO, so we have to read this first constellation as expounding the second sign LIBRA. Hence, we have here a further picture, showing the object of this conflict on the part of the scorpion. In Scorpio we see merely the effort to wound _Ophiuchus_ in the heel; but here we see the effort of the serpent to seize THE CROWN, which is situated immediately over the serpent’s head, and to which he is looking up and reaching forth. The contest is for Dominion! It was the Devil, in the form of a serpent, that robbed the first man of his crown; but in vain he struggled to wrest it from the sure possession of the Second Man. Not only does he fail in the attempt, but is himself utterly defeated and trodden under foot.                              [Illustration]    Plate 10: SERPENS (the Serpent) and OPHIUCHUS (the Serpent Holder) There are no less than 134 stars in these two constellations. Two are of the 2nd magnitude, fourteen of the 3rd, thirteen of the 4th, etc. The brightest star in the Serpent, α (in the neck), is named _Unuk_, which means _encompassing_. Another Hebrew name is _Alyah_, _the accursed_. From this is _Al Hay_ (Arabic), _the reptile_. The next brightest star is β (in the jaw), named, in Arabic, _Cheleb_, or _Chelbalrai, the serpent enfolding_. The Greek name, _Ophiuchus_, is itself from the Hebrew and Arabic name _Afeichus_, which means _the serpent held_. The brightest star in _Ophiuchus_, α (in the head), is called _Ras al Hagus_ (Arabic), _the head of him who holds_. Other Hebrew names of stars, not identified, are _Triophas_, _treading under foot_; _Saiph_ (in the foot(42) of Ophiuchus), _bruised_; _Carnebus_, _the wounding_; _Megeros_, _contending_.(43) In the Zodiac of Denderah we have a throned human figure, called _Api‐bau_, _the chief who cometh_. He has a hawk’s head to show that he is the enemy of the serpent, which is called _Khu_, and means _ruled_ or _enemy_. All these combine to set before us in detail the nature of the conflict and its final issue. That final issue is, however, exhibited by the last of the three constellations of this chapter. The Victor Himself requires a whole picture to fully set forth the glorious victory. This brings us to— 3. HERCULES (The Mighty Man).                         _The Mighty Vanquisher._ Here the mighty one, who occupies a large portion of the heavens, is seen bending on one knee, with his right heel lifted up as if it had been wounded, while his left foot is set directly over the head of the great dragon. In his right hand he wields a great club, and in his left hand he grasps a triple‐headed monster (_Cerberus_). And he has the skin of a lion, which he has slain, thrown around him.(44) In the Zodiac of Denderah we have a human figure, likewise with a club. His name is _Bau_, which means _who cometh_, and is evidently intended for Him who cometh to crush the serpent’s head, and “destroy the works of the devil.” In Arabic he is called _Al Giscale, the strong one_.                              [Illustration]                   Plate 11: HERCULES (the Mighty One) There are 113 stars in this constellation. Seven are of the 3rd magnitude, seventeen of the 4th, etc. The brightest star, α (in his head), is named _Ras al Gethi_, and means _the head of him who bruises_. The next, β (in the right arm‐pit), is named _Kornephorus_, and means _the branch, kneeling_. The star κ (in the right elbow) is called _Marsic_, _the wounding_. The star λ (in the upper part of the left arm) is named _Ma’asyn_, _the sin‐offering_. While ω (in the lower part of the right arm) is _Caiam_, or _Guiam_, _punishing_; and in Arabic, _treading under foot_. Thus does everything in the picture combine to set forth the mighty works of this stronger than the strong man armed! We can easily see how the perversion of the truth by the Greeks came about, and how, when the true foreshadowings of this Mighty One had been lost, the many fables were invented to supply their place. The wiser sort of Greeks knew this perfectly well. ARISTOTLE (in his _Metaphysics_, x. 8) admits, with regard to Greek mythology, that religion and philosophy had been lost, and that much had been “added after the mythical style,” while much had come down, and “may have been preserved to our times as the remains of ancient wisdom.” Religion, such as it was (POLYBIUS confesses), was recognised as a “necessary means to political ends.” NEANDER says that it was “the fragments of a tradition, which transmitted the knowledge of divine things possessed in the earliest times.” ARATUS shews the same uncertainty as to the meaning of this Constellation of _Hercules_. He says:    “Near this, and like a toiling man, revolves    A form. Of it can no one clearly speak,    Nor what he labours at. They call him simply    ‘The man upon his knees’: In desperate struggle    Like one who sinks, he seems. From both his shoulders    His arms are high‐uplifted and out‐stretched    As far as he can reach; and his right foot    Is planted on the coiléd Dragon’s head.” Ancient authorities differ as to the personality of Hercules, and they disagree as to the number, nature, and order of what are sometimes called “the twelve labours of Hercules.” But there is no doubt as to the mighty foretold works which the woman’s Seed should perform. From first to last Hercules is seen engaged in destroying some malignant foe: now it is the Nemean lion; then it is the slaying of the boar of Erymanthus; again, it is the conquest of the bull of Crete; then the killing of the three‐headed hydra, by whose venom Hercules afterwards died. In the belly of the sea monster he is said to have remained “three days and three nights.” This was, doubtless, a perversion of the type of Jonah, introduced by LYCOPHRON, who (living at the court of PTOLEMY PHILADELPHUS, under whose auspices the Hebrew Scriptures were translated into Greek) would have known of that Divine miracle, and of its application to the Coming One. Bishop Horsley believed that the fables of the Greek mythology could be traced back to the prophecies of the Messiah, of which they were a perversion from ignorance or design. This is specially true of Hercules. In his apparently impossible tasks of overthrowing gigantic enemies and delivering captives, we can see through the shadow, and discern the pure light of the truth. We can understand how the original star‐picture must have been a prophetic representation of Him who shall destroy the Old Serpent and open the way again, not to fabled “apples of gold,” but to the “tree of life” itself. He it is who though suffering in the mighty conflict, and brought to His knee, going down even to “the dust of death,” shall yet, in resurrection and advent glory, wield His victorious club, subdue all His enemies, and plant His foot on the Dragon’s head. For of Him it is written:—    “Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder;    The young lion and the dragon shalt Thou trample under foot.”    (Ps. xci. 13.)    “Come, Lord, and burst the captives’ chains,      And set the prisoners free;    Come, cleanse this earth from all its stains,      And make it meet for Thee!    Oh, come and end Creation’s groans—      Its sighs, its tears, its blood,    And make this blighted world again      The dwelling‐place of God.”

A/N: Holy fuck, y'all! I did it! I posted a chapter within a week! Go me!
I really enjoy writing conflict. Johana is one of my favorite people to write in forever! I really hope y'all liked this chapter. I love hearing from people who loved The Handmaid's Tale and enjoy this story, too. It's a fun exercise for me to try and tackle something darker/more serious.
Love y'all! Your feedback and engagement means the world to me. Bye! <3
“Blessed be the fruit,” said Ofarmitage, her voice soft as she approached.
“May the Lord open,” you replied, taking up pace beside her.
It’d been a week since your last, er, meeting with the Commander. He’d been busy since then--you hadn’t even had a chance to see him since that night. You knew you should’ve been relieved, but your heart had carried a stone from sunrise to sunset. As much as you hated to admit it, the encounter with him had sparked something inside of you--whether it was need or affection or desperation or simply ill-gotten pride. But you couldn’t possibly be proud of what you’d done--could you?
“You didn’t take my advice,” hissed Ofarmitage.
Heat rushed your cheeks. “Uh, what? What do you mean?”
“Shh!” Her voice was sharp. “Keep your voice down.”
You swallowed and said nothing. Your guilt rolled out at your feet like a soiled red carpet.
“The way you’re carrying yourself,” she said, finally. “Your shoulders. Your back.”
As if to prove her wrong, you shoved yourself into a hunch, frowning. “I don’t know--”
“Watch your volume.” She sighed. You weren’t sure why she kept saying that when she was being so damn loud herself. “You don’t know what you’re getting into.”
You wanted to speak, but your throat had become the consistency of marshmallow. A flash of fire washed over you. If it was this obvious to her, had it been obvious to Johana and the Marthas, too? Perhaps it was good that you’d barely left your room in the week since he’d railed you into his mattress. Then again--they had no proof. And really, it was you he’d broken the law to be with, not any of them. If anything, he was the real one in danger. Totally.
“I can handle myself,” you muttered. What had he said? I love fucking little sluts like you. See? He loved it. You had more power than Ofarmitage was giving you credit for. “I don’t--”
“Shh.” She tilted her head a centimeter. “I know how you feel. Just watch yourself.”
You blinked. She knew how you felt? “What do you--”
“Not now.”
Chewing on the inside of your lip, you nodded. Better to acquiesce than to let loose the figurative worms this close to a checkpoint. Your soles scuffed at the cement as you dragged yourself forward, the wind a whisper at the hem of your skirts, your hummingbird heart beating its wild wings. If anything, she’d given you some valuable information. You were proud of what you’d done. Just like a slut.
Your face burned.
Another silent market trip ended without a farewell as Ofarmitage left you at the entrance to your Commander’s home. Groceries in tow, you trudged up the steps, conscious of your shoulders and back as they dared to straighten. It was a folly of pride, you knew, to believe your importance any more weighty than the Ofkylos that had stood on this very stoop before you. But it was a feeling you couldn’t shake--the glimpse of acknowledged humanity, the respite from misery far too intoxicating to resist imbibing. In a life of endless nightfall, you’d identified a single, razor-thin shaft of sunlight. And you were going to bathe in it.
The door swung open--it was Emma, who raised her brows in acknowledgment while you followed her inside. Her red hair was coiled in a tight, thick bun. You wondered what it looked like before Gilead--if it had tumbled down her back in copper waves, if it had bounced and shimmered in the sun, if it had went frizzy with sweat when she had spent too much time in the summer heat. You thought to ask her, briefly--but then wondered if she’d even remember.
You followed Emma into the kitchen, eyes cast to floor, ignoring any possible presence, and dropped the groceries on the table, prepared to dip into the hall and escape to your room.
“Where are you going?”
You jerked to a stop, muscles petrified from the mere sound of Johana’s voice. It was fortunate that you were to avoid making eye contact with her to begin with--you feared that she’d see your sin in the echo of your expression. Releasing a breath through your nose, you turned, gaze still trained on your sweating feet. Thankfully, she couldn’t see that, either.
“Just returning to my room, Ms. Johana.”
Johana laughed--the last sound you wanted to hear. “Stand over there.”
You glanced up to see Emma and Rose in one corner of the room, hands folded, heads bowed--and in the other corner, Johana and the Commander. He scanned you almost imperceptibly, and you met his stare, your eyes wide, before catching yourself and shuffling to join the two Marthas.Your heart catapulted through the ceiling, your brain spinning. Why was he here? What did she know? Were you in trouble? Were they in trouble? Johana sighed like she’d just sat down at a buffet.
“So, let me show you, Sir. Before this one left this morning, I gave explicit instructions to Rose that I required a filet, salt, and butter for tonight.” Your breath hitched--Johana had made her way to the groceries and was rifling through them. Beside you, Rose shifted millimeters. That’s not what she had told you. “Filet… bread--not necessary, but fine--butter…” Johana paused, pawing through the items a second, then third time. “Salt. Salt--no salt. No salt.”
“No salt,” Ren repeated.
Dread dripped down your spine. You pulled your lips into your mouth. No salt.
Then the click, click, click of Johana’s shoes as she advanced on the three of you, a snake spitting venom from between her teeth. “No salt,” she said. “Do we have to review how to take grocery orders? Because clearly, we’re missing something.”
“Sorry, Ms. Johana,” said Emma and Rose, in unison. You cursed yourself. Did they have a chance to rehearse this?
Johana spun, speaking to her husband. “Sir, I want to apologize that you have to be cursed with such deficient help.” Another sigh--this one fuming. “Which one of you was it?” She was coming closer. “Emma?”
Emma was silent. You heard Rose’s breath stop. Did she want you to take the fall again? Could you?
“What about you, Rose?”
When she said nothing, Johana closed in on you, a lioness, ready to shred you with only her words. Fear throbbed in your temple. Could you honestly humiliate yourself in front of the Commander? Even if Johana already hated you, was admitting to screwing up twice in a row really worth the possible consequences? Didn’t Rose deserve punishment, just this once? The fact that you asked yourself that question made your stomach churn.
“It was you, then,” Johana said. Cruelty laced her voice. “I wonder--should such a stupid girl really be the vessel for my child?”
You winced. That hurt--but what hurt more was the fact that, for some reason, you expected the Commander to defend you. And, of course, he didn’t.
“What do you think, Sir?” Johana’s tone had sweetened to honey when she turned her attention back to Ren. “Is such a worthless Handmaid really worth keeping around? Do you think we need to ask for a new--”
“It’s not her fault.”
The kitchen fell silent, the revelation hanging like overripe fruit. Johana was quiet while she turned to Rose, closing the distance by one step. Then another. You caught Rose’s hands from the corner of your sight. They were whiter than marble in the countertops.
“Rose?” she asked. “Was this you?”
Anger slithered in place of your receding fear. It was just salt. You couldn’t believe that the Commander himself could truly care this much about salt--and when you snuck a peek at his face, he appeared nothing more than completely bored of the entire affair. This was a power-play for Johana. What you couldn’t figure out was why he was entertaining it to begin with. The confusion stoked your frustration even further.
“What happened?” Johana spat.
Rose’s voice trembled. “I mistakenly instructed her to get bread instead of salt, Ms. Johana.”
“What?” Could she really be this incredulous? “Why?”
“I had just noticed we were out of bread, ma’am,” she said. “I was confused.”
Johana snorted. “No,” she replied. “You weren’t confused. You were stupid.”
“Yes,” Rose said. “Yes ma’am.”
“Say it.”
“I was stupid, ma’am.”
You couldn’t believe Rose was doing this. The fact that she was forced to endure this sort of abuse over a simple mistake--after all she did for Johana daily--made you question if you should have insisted that it had been you, instead.
“Sir,” Johana said, moving toward Ren. “You see, I really do my best for you.” At this, you looked up--she was in front of him, a sickeningly sugary smile on her face. “I wish you’d see that.” Then she reached for him, her fingers brushing over his arm. “You do, don’t you?”
Ren was stone-faced--and in that moment, you understood. Johana wanted to show her superiority. She’d forced him here, in a ploy to prove her worthiness to him. The notion made you nauseous--and, disgustingly, arrogant. Your pride, nearing the edges of hubris, swelled. Here she was, wasting her time attempting to earn her husband’s good graces--all the while, he was making you cum. Not her. She didn’t have power over you. You had power over her.
So, of course, granted this power, and hot with fury, you decided to brandish it.
“Why are you so hard on them, Johana?” came your voice, full of confidence you had long thought strangled. “It’s so unnecessary.”
Your words stole the air from the room. Johana was paralyzed, jaw dropped. Blinking, she angled herself toward you, brow furrowed. “I--I’m sorry?”
Shrugging, you replied, “Your attitude. It’s really rude.”
To your side, you heard Rose and Emma snuff internal screams. What are you doing, you were sure they were thinking. But they didn’t need to worry. With the Commander here, you were certain you were safe. His words resonated in your mind--her inability to complete this job is why you exist at all.
“Who… Who do you think you are?” Johana’s voice wavered. “Sir, are you hearing this?”
Ren’s eyes darted between you and his wife--but he said nothing. Scrambling, her face fell, and she spun on you. Her hands were trembling. You couldn’t decide if you hated her or pitied her.
“You need to watch your mouth,” she said. “You are replaceable.”
You smirked. You weren’t able to resist. You needed her to know that she was inferior one. “Seems like the Commander overrules you, right now.”
The insinuation was too much, and she snarled, baring her teeth. The lioness was ravenous. “Slut!” she screeched, and whirled on her husband. “Is that why she’s acting like this? Did you do it? Did you fuck her?”
Emma and Rose had gone stick-stiff beside you. You watched Ren’s face. There wasn’t a single twitch of muscle, not even a tiny, guilty flinch. Raising a brow, he leveled his wife with his stare, and replied, unblinking:
“No.” His voice hardened. “Go upstairs.”
She sputtered, a lock of hair uncurling itself at the nape of her neck. You knew, at least, that Johana’s hair frizzed. “Upstairs?” Her chin was quivering, her eyes reddening. “But you--but these--”
“Upstairs,” he replied. “Now.”
Shaking, she faced you--the phrase “if looks could kill” came to mind, but the desire in Johana’s gaze went past kill and into mercilessly eviscerate. Grumbling, she stomped off, the sound of her shoes ricocheting off the empty halls. Relief cascaded over you, and you drew in a long, pleased breath, meeting Ren’s eyes with the intention of communicating some sort of camaraderie--he hated her too, you figured. But your face fell. You found nothing but contempt.
“Leave,” he ordered--and as all three of you started moving, he shook his head, leering straight at you. “No. You stay.”
Your heart had tumbled down from above the ceiling and had now plummeted to somewhere inside of your toes. Not needing to be told twice, Emma and Rose scattered like mice, disappearing wordlessly into the annals of the home. You swallowed, observing the man who, only a week prior, had his mouth on your neck and his fingers on your clit. He sauntered over to you--and you realized that rather than banishing the lioness, you’d only managed to awaken the lion.
His stride brought him within inches of you in mere steps, and gifted with the immediacy of his presence, warmth flooded you, robbing you of breath and pushing perspiration onto your forehead. Ren’s eyes, dark with animosity, drifted over you, and he frowned, snatching your chin and pinching to the bone. You whimpered.
“Should you ever temporarily lose your mind in the future,” he drawled, “remember that I will not hesitate to have you tossed out with the rest of the garbage.”
You gulped. “But--”
He shook you between his fingers. “Never. Do that. Again.”
Confidence shattering to smithereens, you looked to the floor. This was not how you expected this to go. You nodded, and he dropped you, starting toward the door before pausing.
“Stay in your room, tonight,” he murmured. “This isn’t over.”
Then Ren left you there, a shivering statue, skin soaking in sweat, terror, and, most horrifically--lust.

The soul can only return to her divine state after having been purified of her earthly desires. Her reason and free will must take part in the sufferings belonging to the material state, until she attains knowledge and becomes free from desires. For this purpose she clothes herself at certain periods in a physical form (reincarnates as a human being), until she has laid off her desires. The more the soul frees herself from her gross external coats the higher can she rise. - PROCLUS The coiled creative life force at the base of the astral spine, kundalini, has always been symbolized as a serpent. When this creative force is "asleep" in delusion, it flows down and outward and feeds all the senses; uncontrolled, its stinging venom causes insatiable lusts. But when the pure kundalini force is "awakened" by the yogi, it rises to the brain and is transformed into the bliss of Spirit. This uplifting serpentine current is Vasuki, the supreme force for human liberation which begets the offspring of divine realization. -Paramahansa Yogananda “And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.” (Numbers 21: 6-9 KJV) Here the word Nachash is translated in two ways; a fiery serpent and a serpent of brass. This is because Nachash is translated as “a shining one”, referring to the shining light of illumination. The people of Israel had turned away from God, because of this they were “bitten” by the fiery serpent. "...the Kundalini serpent actually dissolves into light." -Carl Jung, Letters Vol. 1, Pages 95-97 "They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." (Mark 16:18) "As Moses raised the Serpent in the desert so shall the Son of Man be lifted." (John 3:14) "The ascent of the Kundalini through the medullar canal is a very slow and difficult process. The path of the igneous serpent, from one vertebra to another, signifies terrible ordeals, trials, frightful sacrifices and supreme purification. We must not only kill desire, but moreover, we must kill the very shadow of desire." ~Samuel Aun Weor, The Yellow Book Alchemical Yoga The secret vessels of the alchemist are the organs of his own body, together with their etheric and astral counterparts. The operation is in fact a chemical one, under the direction of man’s self-conscious intelligence, which begins in Divine Mind, but is realized by means of changes effected in his physical body. In consequence of these changes, he becomes a new creature, able to exercise powers which are unknown to the average being – He attains Self-Mastery. The basis of alchemy, like the basis of yoga, is the idea that man is a direct consequence of the perfectly free, unmodified Spirit whence all things proceed. This is the true essence of his being. The Great Work is the direction of energy derived from that essence according to the perceptions of an awakened intelligence – Divine Mind. The preliminary in alchemy is the same as the preliminary step in yoga – that is, to eradicate all impurities and transmute the body into a holy temple of God, purged from all uncleanness. The fire of alchemy is said to be a secret fire, often compared to a serpent or dragon – a fiery force which yogis say is coiled in the Saturn center at the base of the spine. It is named Kundalini. Yoga practice raises this “serpent” power stage by stage, through the seven chakras which alchemy identifies with metals. Paracelsus, like other sages, declares the Great Work to be performed by the aid of Mercury, and that the only other agencies of the art are the powers of the sun and moon. We recognize the importance of the power personified by Mercury; the object of yoga is something which is to be grasped by the mind alone. "Yoga chitta vritti nirodha." (Patanjali, Yoga Sutra 1.2) They also recognize the other two agencies, one hot and fiery called Prana or Surya (Surya meaning “sun”); the other agency cold and moist, named Rayi, the lunar current. In the Daoist system it's called Kan and Li, Fire and Water. The mind of man, his Mercury, is able to discover principles, and to control by suggestion the forces of the subconscious life. It is able to invent and execute new application of methods not provided by nature, thus bringing about a finer adjustment and organization of both environment and organism. The result is the new kind of being, able to receive the influx of energies which would harm an ordinary human body, fraught with impurities. When he becomes illumined, he perceives directly the Truth that he is living the eternal life of the One Power which brings all things into manifestation, and sustains and governs everything in the universe. At the completion of this Work, his transmuted personality expresses nothing but the inwardly perceived impulses of the One Power. He knows, not merely believes, that all his thoughts, acts, and words are direct expressions of God, the One Will. "The old Adamical flesh of death cometh not to the heavenly flesh: No, it belongeth to the earth, to death; but the eternal flesh is hidden in the old earthly man, and it is in the old man, as the fire in iron, or as the gold in the dark stone. This is the noble stone (Lapis Philosophorum), the Philosopher’s Stone, which the Magi find, which tinctureth nature, and generateth a new son in the old. He who findeth that esteemeth more highly of it than of this outward world. He who hath it, and knoweth it, if he seeketh, he may find all things whatsoever are in heaven and earth. It is the Stone which is rejected of the builders, and is the chief corner stone; upon whatsoever it falleth, it grindeth to powder, and kindleth a fire therein." - Jacob Boehme

Abundant Life
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John 10:10-11
… For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8
1. Who has destroyed our perfect world? Who destroyed the righteousness of our lives? Who made men become sinful and evil? A thief called satan!
And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, THE SERPENT BEGUILED ME, and I did eat. Genesis 3:13
Adam and Eve were living happily in the Garden of Eden. Adam was prosperous and never sick or unhappy with his work. He would return from work whistling with joy. They did not quarrel, there was no sickness, there was no funeral to attend and there was no cemetery. One day, a thief came to the garden in the form of a serpent. The serpent started to talk to the woman who was relaxing in the garden. “Did God say you should not eat of this fruit?” the serpent asked Eve. “I think so,” the woman responded. The serpent continued, “This is the best fruit. Take it and eat it. God knows this is something sweet and He does not want you to enjoy it.” She took the fruit and ate it. Immediately, she was full of sin and noticed that she was naked. Then she went to her husband and offered the fruit to him. He also ate and immediately became a sinner. When God came to see them, Adam was hiding because he had sinned. God asked Eve, “What is this that you have done?”
From that day sin, curses, sickness and death came into the world. Adam was cursed to suffer on earth, to die and to be buried in the ground because of his sin. Eve was also cursed because of her sin.
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Genesis 3:16
Adam and Eve gave birth to Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel and so murder and death also came into the world. One day, whilst visiting a church in Asia, I had the opportunity to minister to a businessmen’s fellowship. I was picked up from my hotel by a top businessman who was part of the fellowship. As we drove to the church he told me how he had become a regular church attendee. “I used to do all sorts of things on Sunday mornings instead of going to church. But something happened to me that changed everything,” he told me.
He continued, “One Sunday morning, instead of going to church, I went swimming in a river by a popular waterfall. I was with many other people swimming under the waterfall when suddenly a snake, which had been carried by the river and the waterfall, fell on me. It was an extremely venomous viper and it bit me. I was rushed to the hospital where I went into a coma and was in intensive care for over six weeks, teetering between life and death. The skin on half my body peeled off. I very nearly died,” he told me. “Now, I am always in church on Sunday mornings. I don’t go swimming on Sundays any more.” I thought about this man and how his life almost ended through one bite of a serpent. The bite of the serpent sent this man into a critical condition, where he teetered between life and death.
This is exactly what has happened to mankind. One bite from the serpent has changed everything. The entire human race has been sent into emergency mode with many critical problems, diseases, tragedies, calamities and sorrows. Perhaps, this is the only explanation for the state of the human race, which is constantly balancing itself between life and extinction.
2. Who has destroyed the peace of the nations and brought war and conflict to every corner of this earth? A thief called satan! And when the thousand years are expired, SATAN shall be loosed out of his prison,
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, TO GATHER THEM TOGETHER TO BATTLE: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. Revelation 20:7-8
3. Who has destroyed and stolen the health of the human race and brought sickness to this world? A thief called satan!
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, WHOM SATAN HATH BOUND, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? Luke 13:16
4. Who has destroyed our prosperity and stolen our riches? A thief called satan! Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord. And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them: And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. Job 1:9-12, 14-17
5. Who has destroyed our family lives? A thief called satan! And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house: And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. Job 1:12, 18-19
6. Who has destroyed our peace of mind? A thief called satan!
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, THE MESSENGER OF SATAN TO BUFFET ME, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2 Corinthians 12:7
7. Unless you catch the thief who destroys and kills, he will continue to destroy your life.
You will need help to catch the thief who is destroying you. I once had a thief in the church who stole equipment, money, mobile phones, food, and laptops. I knew that if the thief was not caught, the stealing would continue and we would continue to suffer. So I called a friend and asked if he could help me to catch this thief and stop the suffering in the church. My friend agreed to help me. After I caught the thief, our money was no longer stolen. There is a thief who has stolen your health and you must catch him today. There is a thief who has stolen your peace of mind and you must catch him today. There is a thief who has stolen your money and you must catch him today. There is a thief who wants to take you to hell and you must catch him today.
8. God loved us so much that He sent His Son to catch and destroy the thief who was destroying us.
Jesus did not descend into the earth with a parachute. He was born of a virgin. Jesus Christ came to catch, stop and destroy the thief. … For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8
9. Jesus is the Good Shepherd who lays His life down to save the sheep. Jesus Christ destroyed the power of the thief over us through the cross and the blood that He shed for us. Jesus gives us life through His blood that He shed on the cross. Only the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins.
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Hebrews 9:22
10. Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd who takes away our diseases and infirmities.
Middle eastern shepherds rub their sheep with oil so that flies are driven away from the sheep. Jesus Christ, is the Good Shepherd who rubs us with oil to keep the demons away from us. 
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:4-6

Masters of Inner Power
And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.  FOR FROM WITHIN, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:  All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Mark 7:20-23
SERPENTS ARE WISE BECAUSE THEY HAVE INNER POWER
Serpents are wise because they have developed inner power. The great wisdom of the serpent is to have developed internal power that is called venom.  Snakes produce saliva from within their mouths just like we all do. The saliva of a snake is its venom.  The venom a snake produces within itself is so powerful that it can kill a human being, a lion or even an entire village.
The great power of a snake comes from within.  The snake produces saliva from within itself and this saliva is so potent that a drop of it can send you to your grave.  Imagine your saliva being so powerful that you could kill someone by spitting at him.  
The venom of the king cobra is so deadly that one bite can kill twenty people or one elephant.
The Australian Brown Snake’s venom is so powerful that only 1/14,000th of an ounce is needed to kill a human being.
Australia’s inland taipan snake (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) is said to possess the strongest venom of any land snake. Fortunately, it seeks unpopulated areas and rarely bites people.  Taipan snakes have venom 50 times more toxic than a cobra.
Every man can unleash positive powers or negative powers from within.  It is when something comes from deep within that it is powerful.  Both positive and negative things gain their power when they are from within and from the heart. Without the heart’s involvement every word and physical action is really powerless.  
Consider this young lady who is raped by an armed robber.  This young lady has had several boyfriends in the past and committed fornication with all of them.  She is well known for her immoral and sexual sins.  Now, the armed robber asks her to bend over to allow him to rape her in a similar style that she used to have sex, with her other boyfriends.  After the rape event is over, no one accuses the young lady of having committed fornication or any sin with the armed robber.  No one even says she has been immoral or unholy.  Why is that? Why are people rather sympathetic to her?  Did she not do the exact same things with the armed robber that she did with her other boyfriends?
Why is it that the same physical act is considered to be a sin on one day and on another occasion it is not even considered to be wrong?  The answer is simple.  She did not bend over of her free will or from her heart.  Because these actions did not emanate from her heart, she is considered to be guiltless and sinless.
Jesus taught us that it is only when something comes from within and from the heart that it has power.   It is only when preaching comes from the heart that it is powerful.  It is only when teaching comes from the heart that it is powerful. It is only when we do things from the heart that they have power.  The real power is from within!  Read it for yourself!
And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.  For FROM WITHIN, out of THE HEART of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:  All these evil things COME FROM WITHIN, AND DEFILE the man.
Mark 7:20-23
The power that comes from within you is the strong force that can do wonders in your life and ministry.  It is what comes from within you that determines how powerful you may be. What is on the outside has very little real effect.
Inner Power
To be wise as a serpent you must seriously work on what is within you!
You cannot be used by God if you are not as wise as a serpent.  A snake has a lot of power- and the power is all internal.
The great wisdom of the serpent is to develop internal power.  The great wisdom of the serpent is to fight with internal powers. Work on your hidden internal thinking processes. Your negative thoughts reduce the power within you.  A minister must work on his thoughts. Jesus said that the things that defile you come from inside.  
When you open your inner life to hidden evil thoughts, hidden deceit, hidden thefts and hidden adultery, all your powers go out and you are like a snake without saliva or venom!
Most aspects of righteousness are hidden.  True righteousness is not easy to see because you cannot see the hearts and minds of people. You have to be strong internally so that God can anoint you!
An evil eye, evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, blasphemy, pride and foolishness deplete spiritual power and contaminate you.
Internal Powers
The fruit of the Spirit is a product of the inner being.  The fruit of the Spirit is the product of the inner being.  It is what comes from the inside. Whether you believe it or not, the greatest power that can come out of your life are the fruits and products of the Spirit.  The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  Use every opportunity you have to develop these inner qualities.  Which power did Jesus use to influence the whole world?  Was it not the power of love, peace and goodness?
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Gal 5:22-23 (NASB)
Many people mocked at Jesus Christ when He came to this world with the power of love, sacrifice and obedience.  Through these inner qualities, Jesus Christ has changed the whole world.  Two thousand years after his death and resurrection, the world acknowledges the inner qualities of Jesus Christ by celebrating Christmas. When inner power is developed, then you have real power. Many people laughed at me when I was developing the power of faithfulness and loyalty within my disciples.  But it is only by the power of faithfulness and loyalty that a mega church in different locations can be built.
I agree that these inner qualities do not look very powerful.  But such is the wisdom of a serpent.  A snake may not look very powerful as it lies sleeping in the grass.  But it has within its mouth a well-developed and complex power that can kill a truckload of armed soldiers.    
Develop Inner Power By Investing in Your Spirit
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Galatians 6:8
1.  Develop inner power by having regular quiet times with God.  When Jesus had a quiet time with the Lord, an angel was sent to strengthen him.  Every time you have a quiet time with the Lord you can expect to be strengthened spiritually.
And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
Luke 22:43
2.  Pray in tongues.  Speaking in tongues builds you up internally.  When you speak in tongues you are edified, which means you are built up and charged like a battery.
One who speaks in a tongue EDIFIES himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church.
1 Corinthians 14:4
3.  Meditate on the word of God. Meditation has a powerful effect on you.  It’s able to change you from a failure into a success.  An inner power is developed within you when you meditate on the word.  It is that inner power that makes you successful.  Notice how the scripture assures you of success in your life through meditation.  
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:8
4. Protect your heart from evil contamination.  Your heart is easily contaminated with bitterness, unforgiveness, prejudice, wickedness, revenge, adultery, lust and jealousy.  If you do not watch your heart it will soon become a repository of many evils.  
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Proverbs 4:23
