    The Odes of Solomon

    from The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden, Collins-World Publishers

    ODE 11.

    A beautiful sketch of Paradise regained and the blessedness of those who have returned to the privileges of the fallen Adam.

    1 My heart was cloven and its flower appeared; and grace sprang up in it: and it brought forth fruit to the Lord, 2 For the Most High clave my heart by His Holy Spirit and searched my affection towards Him: and filled me with His love. 3 And His opening of me became my salvation; and I ran in His way in His peace even in the way of truth: 4 from the beginning and even to the end I acquired His knowledge: 5 And I was established upon the rock of truth, where He had set me up: 6 And speaking waters touched my lips from the fountain of the Lord plenteously: 7 And I drank and was inebriated with the living water that doth not die; 8 And my inebriation was not one without knowledge, but I forsook vanity and turned to the Most High my God, 9 And I was enriched by His bounty, and I forsook the folly which is diffused over the earth; and I stripped it off and cast it from me: 10 And the Lord renewed me in His raiment, and possessed me by His light, and from above He gave me rest in incorruption; 11 And I became like the land which blossoms and rejoices in its fruits: 12 And the Lord was like the sun shining on the face of the land; 13 He lightened my eyes and my face received the dew; the pleasant odour of the Lord; 14 And He carried me to His Paradise; where is the abundance of the pleasure, of the Lord; 15 And I worshipped the Lord on account of His glory; and I said, Blessed, O Lord, are they who are planted in thy land and those who have a place in thy Paradise; 16 And they grow by the fruits of the trees. And they have changed from darkness to light. 17 Behold! all thy servants are fair, who do good works, and turn away from wickedness to the pleasantness that is thine: 18 And they have turned back the bitterness of the trees from them, when they were planted in thy land; 19 And everything became like a relic of thyself, and memorial for ever of thy faithful works. 20 For there is abundant room in thy Paradise, and nothing is useless therein; 21 But everything is filled with fruit; glory be to thee, O God, the delight of Paradise for ever. Hallelujah.

    THE EXODUS SONG

    THIS LAND IS MINE, GOD GAVE THIS LAND TO ME
    THIS BRAVE AND ANCIENT LAND TO ME
    AND WHEN THE MORNING SUN REVEALS HER HILL AND PLAINS
    THEN I SEE A LAND WHERE CHILDREN CAN RUN FREE

    SO TAKE MY HAND AND WALK THIS LAND WITH ME
    AND WALK THIS LOVELY LAND WITH ME
    THO' I AM JUST A MAN, WHEN YOU ARE BY MY SIDE
    WITH THE HELP OF GOD I KNOW I CAN BE STRONG

    SO TAKE MY HAND AND WALK THIS LAND WITH ME
    AND WALK THIS GOLDEN LAND WITH ME
    THO' I AM JUST A MAN WHEN YOU ARE BY MY SIDE
    WITH THE HELP OF GOD I KNOW I CAN BE STRONG

    TO MAKE THIS LAND OUR HOME
    IF I MUST FIGHT, I'LL FIGHT TO MAKE THIS LAND OUR OWN
    IF I MUST DIE THIS LAND IS MINE!

    Peace and Love Mrs.

    The House Of David

    Keys And The Thrones of the House of David

    return to the faith that was once delivered to us by the Fathers and prophets

    Isa 22:22
    And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
    Rev 3:7
    And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

    Psa 122:5
    For there are set thrones of judgment, the “thrones of the house of David”.

    Jer 22:2 And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
    Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
    But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.

    Zec 12:10
    And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.

    Zec 12:12
    And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
    Zec 13:1
    In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

    To all my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! It has been some time now since I really made a good Post. I am still sick, the Medication the Doctor has given to me, has not helped. Trying my hardest not to overcome by fear for the unknown. I have been in the Hospital so many times and thinking that I might have to go there, is not appealing to me at all.
    SO I am trying to laugh it of whenever I can, trying to say things to you in a funny way. I somehow feel, I made a fool out of myself. I hate the constant pain. So I ask for your Prayers Please. Thank you

    Love and Peace Mrs.

    Allspirit Song Lyrics
    Morning Has Broken

    lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon

    Morning has broken, like the first morning
    Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
    Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
    Praise for the springing fresh from the word

    Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
    Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
    Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
    Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

    Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
    Born of the one light, Eden saw play
    Praise with elation, praise every morning
    God's recreation of the new day

    children needing youre protection

    Lift the cup and pass it on

    Out of the essence of God there is Light, Love, Knowledge. Light is the dawning of revelation, truth, insight, discovery. God is found within the inner sancturary as true knowledge of God can transpire nowhere else….for within ones own 'being' one derives from the 'Esse' of God, there being the original Light.

    On going siege
    Against the gates of hell..o and destruction
    Rev 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

    Pro 25:2 [It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter.  

    Psa 2:9  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.  Psa 2:10  Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.  Psa 2:11  Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
    Psa 2:12  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all they that put their trust in him.

    VIII. Of Solomon. Of the chief Musician.

    8 1 Distress and the sound of war hath my ear heard; The sound of a trumpet announcing slaughter and calamity, 2 The sound of much people as of an exceeding high wind, As a tempest with mighty fire sweeping through the Negeb. 3 And I said in my heart; Surely (?) God judgeth us; 4 A sound I hear (moving) towards Jerusalem, the holy city. 5 My loins were broken at what I heard, (5) my knees tottered: 6 My heart was afraid, my bones were dismayed like flax. 7 (6) I said: They establish their ways in righteousness. (7) I thought upon the judgements of God since the creation of heaven and earth; I held God righteous in His judgements which have been from of old. 8 God laid bare their sins in the full light of day; All the earth came to know the righteous judgements of God. 9 In secret places underground their iniquities (were committed) to provoke (Him) to anger; 10 They wrought confusion, son with mother and father with daughter; 11 (10) They committed adultery, every man with his neighbour's wife. They concluded covenants with one another with an oath touching these things; 12 (11) They plundered the sanctuary of God, as though there was no avenger. 13 (12) They trode the altar of the Lord, (coming straight) from all manner of uncleanness; And with menstrual blood they defiled the sacrifices, as (though these were) common flesh. 14 (13) They left no sin undone, wherein they surpassed not the heathen. 15 (14) Therefore God mingled for them a spirit of wandering; And gave them to drink a cup of undiluted wine, that they might become drunken. 16 (15) He brought him that is from the end of the earth, that smiteth mightily; 17 He decreed (?) war against Jerusalem, and against her land. 18 (16) The princes of the land went to meet him with joy: they said unto him: Blessed be thy way! Come ye, enter ye in with peace. 19 (17) They made the rough ways even, before his entering in; They opened the gates to Jerusalem, they crowned its walls. 20 (18) As a father (entereth) the house of his sons, (so) he entered (JerusaIem) in peace; He established his feet (there) in great safety. 21 (19) He captured her fortresses and the wall of Jerusalem; 22 For God Himself led him in safety, while they wandered. 23 (20) He destroyed their princes and every one wise in counsel; He poured out the blood of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, like the water of uncleanness. 24 (21) He led away their sons and daughters, whom they had begotten in defilement. 25 (22) They did according to their uncleanness, even as their fathers (had done): 26 They defiled Jerusalem and the things that had been hallowed to the name of God. 27 (23) (But) God hath shown Himself righteous in His judgements upon the nations of the earth; 28 And the pious (servants) of God are like innocent lambs in their midst. 29 (24) Worthy to be praised is the Lord that judgeth the whole earth in His righteousness. 30 (25) Behold, now, O God, Thou hast shown us Thy judgement in Thy righteousness; 31 Our eyes have seen Thy judgements, O God. (26) We have justified Thy name that is honoured for ever; 32 For Thou art the God of righteousness, judging Israel with chastening. 33 (27) Turn, O God, Thy mercy upon us, and have pity upon us; 34 (28) Gather together the dispersed of Israel, with mercy and goodness; 35 For Thy faithfulness is with us. (29) And (though) we have stiffened our neck, yet Thou art our chastener; 36 (30) Overlook us not, O our God, lest the nations swallow us up, as though there were none to deliver. 37 (31) But Thou art our God from the beginning, And upon Thee is our hope (set), O Lord; 38 (32) And we will not depart from Thee, For good are Thy judgements upon us. 39 (33) Ours and our children's be Thy good pleasure for ever O Lord our Saviour, we shall never more be moved. 40 (34) The Lord is worthy to be praised for His judgements with the mouth of His pious ones; And blessed be Israel of the Lord for ever

    IV. A Conversation of Solomon with the Men-pleasers.

    LAWLESS Men

    4 1 Wherefore sittest thou, O profane (man), in the council of the pious, Seeing that thy heart is far removed from the Lord, Provoking with transgressions the God of Israel? 2 Extravagant in speech, extravagant in outward seeming beyond all (men), Is he that is severe of speech in condemning sinners in judgement. 3 And his hand is first upon him as (though he acted) in zeal, And (yet) he is himself guilty in respect of manifold sins and of wantonness. 4 His eyes are upon every woman without distinction; His tongue lieth when he maketh contract with an oath. 5 By night and in secret he sinneth as though unseen, With his eyes he talketh to every woman of evil compacts. 6 He is swift to enter every house with cheerfulness as though guileless. 7 (6) Let God remove those that live in hypocrisy in the company of the pious, (Even) the life of such an one with corruption of his flesh and penury. 8 (7) Let God reveal the deeds of the men-pleasers, The deeds of such an one with laughter and derision; 9 (8) That the pious may count righteous the judgement of their God, When sinners are removed from before the righteous, 10 (Even the) man- pleaser who uttereth law guilefully. 11 (9) And their eyes (are fixed) upon any man's house that is (still) secure, That they may, like (the) Serpent, destroy the wisdom of… with words of transgressors, 12 (10) His words are deceitful that (he) may accomplish (his) wicked desire. 13 He never ceaseth from scattering (families) as though (they were) orphans, (11) Yea, he layeth waste a house on account of (his) lawless desire. 14 He deceiveth with words, (saying,) There is none that seeth, or judgeth. 15 (12) He fills one (house) with lawlessness, And (then) his eyes (are fixed) upon the next house, To destroy it with words that give wing to (desire). (13) (Yet) with all these his soul, like Sheol, is not sated. 16 Let his portion, O Lord, be dishonoured before thee; Let him go forth groaning and come home cursed. 17 (15) Let his life be (spent) in anguish, and penury, and want, O Lord; Let his sleep be (beset) with pains and his awaking with perplexities. 18 (16) Let sleep be withdrawn from his eyelids at night; Let him fail dishonorably in every work of his hands. 19 (17) Let him come home empty-handed to his house, And his house be void of everything wherewith he could sate his appetite. 20 (18) (Let) his old age (be spent) in childless loneliness until his removal (by death). 21 (19) Let the flesh of the men-pleasers be rent by wild beasts, And (let) the bones of the lawless (lie) dishonoured in the sight of the sun. 22 (20) Let ravens peck out the eyes of the hypocrites. 23 For they have laid waste many houses of men, in dishonour, And scattered (them) in (their) lust; 24 (21) And they have not remembered God, Nor feared God in all these things; 25 But they have provoked God's anger and vexed Him. (22) May He remove them from off the earth, Because with deceit they beguiled the souls of the flawess. 26 (23) Blessed are they that fear the Lord in their flawlessness; 27 The Lord shall deliver them from guileful men and sinners, And deliver us from every stumbling-block of the lawless (men). 28 (24) Let God destroy them that insolently work all unrighteousness, For a great and mighty judge is the Lord our God in righteousness. 29 (28) Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon all them that love Thee.
