Peace-No Peace

I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him, creating praise on the lips of the mourners in Israel.
Peace, peace, to those far and near, “says the Lord.
“And I will heal them.”

 But the wicked are like the
tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up
mire and mud.“There is no peace, ” says my God,
“for the wicked.”

Isaiah 57:18-21

Higher Revelation

Music Is a Higher Revelation Than All Wisdom and Philosophy

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)


Handel’s Messiah

Hallelujah! for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
The Kingdom of this world is become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ; 
and He shall reign for ever and ever.
King of kings, and Lord of lords
and He shall reign for ever and ever.

Hallelujah!

 

 George Frideric Handel (1712-1759)

 

He is risen!

Matthew 28:6


Forgetters of God

The wicked return to the grave, all the nations that forget God.
But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the
afflicted ever perish.
Arise, O Lord, let not man triumph; let the nations be judged
in your presence. Strike them with terror, O Lord; let the nations
know they are but men.

Psalm 9:17-20

The justice which has punished the wicked, and preserved the righteous,
remains the same, and therefore in days to come, retribution will surely
be meted out. How solemn is the seventeenth verse, especially in its
warning to forgetters of God. The moral who are not devout, the honest
who are not prayerful, the benevolent who are not believing, the amiable
who are not converted, these must all have their portion with the openly
wicked in the hell which is prepared for the devil and his angels. There
are whole nations of such; the forgetters of God are far more numerous
than the profane or profligate,and according to the very forceful expression
of the Hebrew, the nethermost hell will be the place into which all of them
shall be hurled headlong. Forgetfulness seems a small sin, but it brings eternal
wrath upon the man who lives and dies in it.

Make You Believe

 

Those who can make you believe absurdities
can make you commit atrocities.

Voltaire (1694-1778)
