By the edge, near the precipice, at the very limit, I am beating at my horses with my arm, a whiplash in it. I'm not getting enough air - drinking wind, the fog imbibing, And I scent with deadly rapture: I am dying, I am dying! Just a little slower, horses, little slower now! Do not listen to the taut whip, it is wrong! But my horses are uncontrollable I can't live to the end, I can't finish my song. I will let horses drink - the couplet I will sing For a little bit more I will stand on the brink... I will vanish - like a feather by the wind I will be blown, In the morning they will drag me in the sleigh through the snow, O my horses, walk some slower, show a bit of moderation Just a little bit, prolong my way to final destination! Just a little slower, horses, little slower now! Do not listen to the taut whip, it is wrong! But my horses are uncontrollable I can't live to the end, I can't finish my song. I will let horses drink - the couplet I will sing For a little bit more I will stand on the brink... We've arrived: nobody comes late here to greet the Lord of Heaven - Then, why do the angels sing with voices evil, voices heavy? Or the bell would shake from weeping, weeping gently, weeping deeply, Or I'm shouting to the horses that they do not run so quickly? Just a little slower, horses, little slower now! I pray to you don't gallop along! But my horses are uncontrollable I can't live to the end, I can't finish my song. I will let horses drink - the couplet I will sing For a little bit more I will stand on the brink... By Vladimir Vysotsky Translated by Ilya Shambat
Vanish Like a feather by the wind You will be blown; In the morning they will drag you in, What friends! Waiting for your descent Either again or to Heaven sent. Gallop or trod On the precipice you took in the air The adventure was grand In the openness. Adventurous horses Swiftly runnung. Had thee, Pegasus Adventure only beginning Get him angered And as a feather blown by the wind, descending. Myths do tell of Pegasus And his capture... That is why they call it myths. If horses do not fly, Howbeit HIS Chariot ride? Elisha beheld. He can tell. If you lived to tell Perchance you others would take creed? Why not, if they disagreed? Because The LORD, they did not seek For the truth to it. If you were to soar above the precipice you stood What might you see Looking down upon where you did see? Might you be startled or amazed That, so quickly, You thought, that was all there was? Like a feather by the wind blown While they awaited to drag you on. You can hear his wings. Pegasus! What A FRIEND we have IN HE! Life is not hard If while riding You don't offend Life IS grand Oh! What A FRIEND we have IN HE.
Hello you again Have you climbed to the edge again? This time are things different This time have you become lighter than before? This time will you float down a little further on? Is it day or night? Are the stars the light with moon Or is the sun too bright ? Hello you. Have you climbed to your edge again?
My apologies if this other thread just doesn't fit in........ but I am of the belief that The Ancient of Days the Father.... who Messiah Yeshua - Jesus stated was greater than him...... misses his Covering Cherub.......... Could Lucifer be the name of the white horse of Revelation.
Ezekiel 2:59 "And these were they which went up from Telmelah, Telharsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel:" Nehemiah 7:61 "And these were they which went up also from Telmelah, Telharesha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel." These mentioned persons might have been Babylonians who left Babylon with the other sons of Israel when King Cyrus allowed for their return to rebuild in Jerusalem. There is reported that there was 'majik' practiced. Even Harut and Marut, 2 'angels' mentioned in The Qur'an is mentioned to have received majik and to have taught it to others on the condition that they first bring complaint to God that their life was miserable. So maybe it was during the reign of King Solomon, when peace was throughout all the land, that these majiks were received and Egan being taught. The Babylonian captivity occurred after the reign of King Solomon yet the majiks began during King Solomon's reign. The word 'satan' is first used in 1 Chronicles 21:1. "And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel." Who provoked David to number Israel even though God told him not to? His own heart. Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" But what of the 'majik'? Ezekiel 28:2 "2Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:" What of the 'angels'? Revelations 12:7 "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels," Only GOD has Holy Angels. Michael's angels, the dragon's angels and then THE Lord's Holy Angels. Psalm 2: "1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision." holy angels? HA! Why blame The Holy Angels??? Wi-i? Parents call their children, angels. Commanding officers call their 'soldiers', legions. Isaiah 42:8 "I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images." ------ A bruised reed shall He not break."--Isaiah xlii. 3; Matt. xii. 20. It is dangerous for those who are seeking salvation to lean upon the experience of other people. Many are waiting for a repetition of the experience of their grandfather or grandmother. I had a friend who was converted in a field; and he thinks the whole town ought to go down into that meadow and be converted. Another was converted under a bridge; and he thinks that if any enquirer were to go there he would find the Lord. The best … Dwight L. Moody—The Way to God and How to Find It The way to God and how to find the way to God... i am not a crook; i'm just a broken reed waiting to be bruised so to not be broken.
