THE burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw. O LORD, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear? Even cry out to You, ''Violence!" And You will not save. Why do you show me iniquity, and cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; there is strife, and contention arises.  Therefore the law is powerless, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surrond the righteous; therefore perverse judgment proceeds. ''Look among the nations and watch-be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you. For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans, a bitter and hasty nation which marches through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not their. They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and more fierce than evening wolves.Their chargers charge ahead; their cavalry comes from afar; they fly as the eagle that hastens to eat.  They all come for violence; their faces are set like the east wind. They gather captives like sand. They scoff at kings, and princes are scorned by them. They deride every stronghold, for they heap up earthen mounds and seize it. Then his mind changes, and he transgress; he commit offense, ascribing this power to his god. Are You not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, You have appointed them for judgment; O Rock, You have marked them for correction. You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on wickedness. Why do You look on those who deal tracherously, and hold Your tongue when the wicked devours a person more righteous than he? Why do You make men like fish of the sea, like creeping things / this world / the world of sin that have no ruler over them? They take up all of them with a hook, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their dragnet. Therefore they rejoice and are glad. Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their dragnet; because by them their share is sumptuous and their food plentiful. Shall they therefore empty their net, and continue to slay nations without pity? HABAKKUK 1:1-17

FINALLY, my  brethren, rejoice in the Lord / the Christ / the Lord Jesus / Jesus of Nazareth / Jesus / The Son of Man / The Teacher / the Messiah / the prophet. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you is safe. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation! For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, Though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: Circumcised the eight day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribes of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ. And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, If, by any mean, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press  on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus /  the Word / the Son of God / The Lord / Jesus / God has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus / the Word / the Son of God / The Lord /  Jesus / God. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, having this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will even this to you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind. Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly / He / the evil one of earth / the ruler of this world / The world of earth / The flesh of earth / the image of jealousy of earth / that serpent of old of earth, and whose glory is in their shame-who set their mind on earthly things. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, Who / the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, will transform our lowely body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able to subdue things to Himself. Philippians 3:1-21

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ / the Lamb and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, Not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one decieve you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin / he / Your pomp of the king of Babylon / The ten horns / ten kings / a wicked counselor / lord / one is revealed, the son of perdition / he / image of the beast / the beast / The forth beast. Who opposes and exalt himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He / the Antichrist / O mighty man / the Dog who now restrains will do so until He / god is their belly / the evil one of earth / the ruler of this world / The world of earth / The flesh of earth / the image of jealousy of earth / that serpent of old of earth is taken out of the way. 2 THESSALONIANS 2: 1-7

THESE things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. "They will put you out of the synagogues; yes the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offer God service. "And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. "But these things I have told you, that when the time coms, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you. "But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you saks Me, 'Where are You going?' "But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filed your heart. "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. " And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin / this world / mens like fish of the sae, like creeping things and righteousness, and of judgment: "Of sin, because they do not believe in Me; "Of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;' Of judgment, because the ruler of this world / god is their belly / He / the evil one of earth / the ruler of this world / The world of earth / The flesh of earth / the image of jealousy of earth / that serpent of old of earth is judged. "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.  "He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. "All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. JOHN 16:1-15
