Before Revelation

These are spots in your love feasts,
while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves.
They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds;
late autumn trees without fruit,
twice dead,
pulled up by the roots;
raging waves of the sea,
foaming up their own shame;
wandering stars
for whom is reserved
the blackness of darkness
forever.
JUDE 1:12-13
-------
a faithful paraphrase of Jude KJV but please consider v 22 and the beautiful Doxology
Peace be with you
Jake
-------
Peace/Shalom to you Jake. Not a paraphrase, but NKJV. And yes, to YAHWEH be the glory and may he richly bless the heart you have for the lost.
-------
that we are here at all is the blessing. left to our own devices we would surely eat our neighbors. is it intervention which sustains us?
i wouldn't rule it out. yes, peace and yet, more peace; at least a space to think and breathe before we offend something wiser and kinder than ourselves...f
-------
Let all those who seek You rejoice
and be glad in You;
Let such as love Your salvation
say continually,
"The LORD be magnified!"
Psalm 40:16 NKJV

-------
Like your style. Something about the words is like music, the swaying of trees and shadows in a pre-storm wind.
