My Kingdom is Not of This World (John 18:36) | Bold Red, Yellow & Black Textured Design with Icon Motifs | Orthodox Christian Jersey Tank TopAnd now behold the king whom ye have chosen; and behold, the Lord has set a king over you. If ye should fear the Lord, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not resist the mouth of the Lord, and ye and your king that reigns over you should follow the Lord, [it is] well. But if ye should not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and ye should resist the mouth of the Lord, then [with wrath] shall the hand of the Lord be upon you and upon your king. 1

and He shall exalt the horn of His people

and so that (by the activity of this Holy Spirit)

before the end

and encamp round about my tabernacle

For if the dead rise not

wondrous defender of them that wage warfare against the spirits of evil under the heavens

if only you do not hinder

you stay in the Eternal Liturgy of Wonder

Our personal experience convinces us that this inner voice

I will ransom them from the power of Sheol

then heirs

Blessed art thou
