The GLORY of MAN
HEADLINE:
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let
us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them.
Secrets of Enoch 44 1 The Lord with his hands having created
man, in the likeness of his own face, the Lord made him small and great.
Whoever reviles the ruler's face, and abhors the Lord's face, has despised 2
the Lord's face, and he who vents anger on any man without injury, the Lord's
great anger will 3 cut him down, he who spits on the face of man reproachfully,
will be cut down at the Lord's great judgement.
Secrets of Enoch 23:And Pravuil told me: 'All the things 4
that I have told thee, we have written. Sit and write all the souls of mankind,
however many of them are born, and the places prepared for them 5 to eternity;
for all souls are prepared to eternity, before the formation of the world.' And
all 6 double thirty days and thirty nights, and I wrote out all things exactly,
and wrote three hundred and sixty-six books.
Wisdom of Solomon 1: For God did not make death, and takes
no pleasure in the destruction of any living thing; 14 he created all things
that they might have being. The creative forces of the world make for life;
there is no deadly poison in them. Death is not king on 15 16 earth, for justice
is immortal; but godless men by their words and deeds have asked death for his
company. Thinking him their friend, they have made a pact with him because they
are fit members of his party; and so they have wasted away.
Wisdom of Solomon 2:22 they (imprisoned devils) did not
understand God's hidden plan; they never expected that holiness of life would
have its recompense; they thought that innocence 23 had no reward. But God
created man for immortality, and made him 24 the image of his own eternal self;
it was the devil's spite that brought death into the world, and the experience
of it is reserved for those who take his side.
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven
saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them,
and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their
God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are
true and faithful.
Isaiah 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let
the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him
that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10 Woe
unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What
hast thou brought forth? 11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and
his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work
of my hands command ye me. 12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it:
I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I
commanded.
Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for
one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Isaiah 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that
the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains,
and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And
many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the
LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and
we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word
of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Isaiah 66:18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it
shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come,
and see my glory. 21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites,
saith the LORD. 22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make,
shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name
remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and
from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith
the LORD.
Isaiah 25:6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts
make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of
fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7 And he will
destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the
vail that is spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death in victory;
and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his
people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the
city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company
of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are
written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men
made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the
blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art
worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain,
and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and
people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we
shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels
round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was
ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a
loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and
wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every
creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as
are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour,
and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the
Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and
twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem
of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the spirit of the
LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of
counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 3 And
shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not
judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his
ears: :4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with
equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of
his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5 And
righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of
his reins. 6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie
down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead them. 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed;
their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the
ox. 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned
child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. 9 They shall not hurt nor
destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge
of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
John 5:25 Verily,
verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall
hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the
Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in
himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he
is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which
all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
John 10:10 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. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they
follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them
me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's
hand.
Psalms 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this
day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for
thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;
and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will
draw all men unto me.
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will
come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Romans 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man
dieth to himself. 8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we
die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the
Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he
might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Hebrews 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying,
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou
visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst
him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 14
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also
himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him
that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through
fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of
the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the
word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto
me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 24 Surely, shall one say, in
the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all
that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. 25 In the LORD shall all the
seed of Israel
be justified, and shall glory.
Isaiah 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw
concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2 And it shall
come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be
established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills;
and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come
ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of
Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out
of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4 And
he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall
beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation
shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Isaiah 43:4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast
been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and
people for thy life.
Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye
sons of Jacob are not consumed. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of
hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man
spareth his own son that serveth him.
II Esdras 2:38 Rise, stand up, and see the whole company of
those who bear the 39 Lord's mark and sit at his table. They have moved out of
the shadow of this 40 world and have received shining robes from the Lord.
Receive, O Zion your full number, and close the roll of those arrayed in white
who have 41 faithfully kept the law of the Lord. The number of your sons whom
you so long desired is now complete. Pray that the Lord's kingdom may come, so
that your people, whom he summoned when the world began, may be set apart as
his own.' 42 I, Ezra, saw on Mount
Zion a crowd too large to
count, all singing hymns 43 of praise to the Lord. In the middle stood a very
tall young man, taller than all the rest, who was setting a crown on the head
of each one of them; he 44 stood out above them all. I was enthralled at the
sight, and asked the angel 45 'Sir, who are these?' He replied, 'They are those
who have laid aside their mortal dress and put on the immortal, those who
acknowledged the name 46 of God. Now they are being given crowns and palms.
'And I asked again, 'Who is the young man setting crowns on their heads and
giving them 47 palms?', and the angel replied, 'He is the Son of God, whom they
acknowledged in this mortal life. 'I began to praise those who had stood so
valiantly 48 for the Lord's name. Then the angel said to me: 'Go and tell my
people all the great and wonderful acts of the Lord God that you have seen.'
Secrets of Enoch 65: 6 When all creation visible and
invisible, as the Lord created it, shall end, then every man goes 7 to the
great judgement, and then all time shall perish, and the years, and thence
forward there will be neither months nor days nor hours, they will be stuck
together and will not be counted. 8 There will be one aeon, and all the
righteous who shall escape the Lord's great judgement, shall be collected in
the great aeon, for the righteous the great aeon will begin, and they will 9
live eternally, and then too there will be amongst them neither labour, nor
sickness, nor humiliation, nor anxiety, nor need, nor violence, nor night, nor
darkness, but great light. 10 And they shall have a great indestructible wall,
and a paradise bright and incorruptible, for all corruptible things shall pass
away, and there will be eternal life.
Isaiah 43:21 This people have I formed for myself; they
shall shew forth my praise.
Psalms 100:3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that
hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his
pasture.
Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the
unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will
have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my
thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your
ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and
the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and
maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to
the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall
not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it
shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 12 For ye shall go out with joy,
and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth
before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Ecclesiastes 3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it
shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and
God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
Surely it is better to be born a human in this place. Men are the image of God and they have
standing, If you are not a man, you have
no standing and if you let go of the flesh and blood life form you are clinging
to, you will fall through the Earth’s core.
You are cursed and damned.
Prepare to do your fire-dance any time soon!
Isaiah 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the
iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor
fill the face of the world with cities. 22 For I will rise up against them,
saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon
the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
