The clouds of judgement gather,
The time is growing late;
Be sober and be watchful;
Christ is at the Gate.
The Judge who comes in mercy,
The judge who comes in might
To put an end to evil
And diadem the right.

When we understand the importance of living together without judgement we will have arrived at a significantly better place than we are today. It is easy to be judgmental, but what purpose does it have? If we live together in peace and allow one another to live the way we wish as long as it does not physically harm anyone, that is what we should be aiming for. Compassion, love, tolerance, understanding, acceptance, respect, equality, diversity and decency will take you a long way. Steer your children away from hate, greed, selfishness and power, this type of behavior only causes pain and sadness to so many, so let's embrace our differences. This should happen globally with all nationalities being involved. So let's get started now!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

Romans 2:5 “But because of your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God's righteous judgment is revealed.”
15th century wood panel in St Michael's (St Albans, Hertfordshire) depicting the Last Judgment. This used to be a tympanum (art work over an entrance) and is best to be read as theological teaching: when the trumpets of the Last Judgment sound and the graves open you better be prepared and among the faithful if you want to enter heaven. If not, hell is waiting for you. And it does not matter whether you are king or not.
This panel is no longer crowning a doorway, but it is still in the church. Secular culture today pretends that it has nothing to do with this. That is not true. The quest for immortality is as strong as it always has been. It is just the forms and the images that have changed.
Nuestros pecados han sido perdonados, ¿por qué aún debemos aceptar la obra de juicio de Dios en los últimos días?
Al enterarse de que el Señor ha regresado y es Cristo de los últimos días, Dios Todopoderoso, y ha llevado a cabo la obra de juzgar y purificar al hombre en los últimos días, algunas personas sienten un poco confundidas: “Tras creer en el Señor Jesús, hemos sido perdonados del pecado, y cuando el Señor venga, seremos arrebatados directamente al reino de los cielos. ¿Por qué el Señor todavía hace la obra de juzgar y purificar a la gente?”. Vamos a leer las palabras de Dios Todopoderoso para comprenderlo.
Dios Todopoderoso dice: “Aunque el hombre ha sido redimido y se le han perdonado sus pecados, sólo se considera que Dios no recuerda sus transgresiones y no lo trata de acuerdo con estas. Sin embargo, cuando el hombre vive en la carne y no ha sido liberado del pecado, sólo puede continuar pecando, revelando interminablemente el carácter satánico corrupto. Esta es la vida que el hombre lleva, un ciclo sin fin de pecado y perdón. La mayoría de los hombres pecan durante el día y se confiesan por la noche. Así, aunque la ofrenda por el pecado siempre sea efectiva para ellos, no podría salvarlos del pecado. Sólo se ha completado la mitad de la obra de salvación, porque el hombre sigue teniendo un carácter corrupto”.
“Antes de que el hombre fuera redimido, muchos de los venenos de Satanás ya fueron plantados dentro de él. Después de miles de años de corrupción de Satanás, el hombre ya tiene dentro de sí una naturaleza que resiste a Dios. Por tanto, cuando ha sido redimido, no es nada más que una redención en la que se le ha comprado por un alto precio, pero la naturaleza venenosa de su interior no se ha eliminado. El hombre que está tan inmundo debe pasar por un cambio antes de ser digno de servir a Dios. Por medio de esta obra de juicio y castigo, el hombre llegará a conocer plenamente la esencia inmunda y corrupta de su interior, y podrá cambiar completamente y ser purificado. Sólo de esta forma puede ser el hombre digno de regresar delante del trono de Dios. Toda la obra realizada este día es con el fin de que el hombre pueda ser purificado y cambiado; por medio del juicio y el castigo por la palabra, así como del refinamiento, el hombre puede desechar su corrupción y ser hecho puro. En lugar de considerar que esta etapa de la obra es la de la salvación, sería más apropiado decir que es la obra de purificación”.
Extracto de “La Palabra manifestada en carne”
De las palabras de Dios, podemos ver que aunque hemos sido redimidos por el Señor Jesús y nuestros pecados han sido perdonados, todavía tenemos la naturaleza satánica que resiste a Dios, y a menudo podemos pecar y oponernos a Dios, así que no podemos ser arrebatados directamente al reino de los cielos. Solo aceptando la obra de juicio de Dios en los últimos días y logrando la purificación del carácter corrupto, seremos elegibles para ser arrebatados ante el trono de Dios.

The prayer of a soul at judgment
In ancient Egypt the jackal god Anubis led the soul into the halls of Maat (truth) where his or her heart would be weighed by the god Osiris against a feather.
It was important that you were not concerned with the trivia of life "I have not learnt the things that are not.."
To enter paradise you had to answer negatively to a list of transgressions that were different for every walk of life.
If your heart was light of sin you passed into the blissful Field of Reeds.
Should your heart not be found pure it would be thrown to the floor and devoured by Amut the gobbler. You would then cease to exist.
The ancient Egyptians were profoundly spiritual and their prayers (Egyptian Book of the Dead) read like poetic psalms and probably influenced the Biblical psalms.
Years ago we visited Egypt with my Dad but at the moment the Royal BC Museum is hosting an Egyptian exhibit.

City of Demons of Hami Dahaidao
A Yadan is a type of landscape formed by yardang-type geological formations. Although they mean the same thing, Yadan is more of a regional term in China used for parks or geological regions with yardang formations. It is a transliteration into Mandarin Chinese of the word "yar," which comes from the Uyghur language spoken in Xinjiang in northwest China. Yardang is a global scientific term used by geologists in geomorphology to refer to this type of geological formation. It was coined or popularized by a Swedish geologist and explorer named Sven Anders Hedin in 1903, who traveled and studied the entire Xinjiang region. On these journeys, he also mapped vast areas, including regions such as Tibet, the Tulin of Zanda, and a large part of the unknown and mysterious Pamir Mountains, both in China and Tajikistan. He explored much of the deserts in this region of Xinjiang and notably mapped the yardangs of the Lop Nor Desert and the Hami Desert. He also explored the Gobi Desert and Mongolia. He was possibly the greatest expert on yardangs and all of Northwest China and Central Asia. Xinjiang is the region with the largest and most extensive concentration of yardangs in the world. Near the city of Hami in eastern Xinjiang, and southwest of Hami, lies Hami Dahaidao. The Hami Desert is part of the Gobi Desert and is home to vast fields of yardangs sculpted by the erosion of the strong winds that prevail in this desert depression, creating reddish formations and ridges aligned with the wind direction. Hami Dahaidao is known as the "City of Demons," partly because there are some yardangs with strange and ghostly shapes, figures that create an eerie atmosphere at night, but mostly because of the strange noises that can be heard in Hami Dahaidao. The strong desert winds whip up the sand, the strong winds make the stones roll noisily across the ground... the air rushing between rocks and open, eroded crevices, the wind passing over or along the sides of the aligned ridges of the yardang... all these phenomena create sounds that sometimes become terrifying and ghostly, or even the howls of strange creatures. Although the term yardang was suggested by Sven Hedin while mapping the Lop Nor Desert, it is in the Hami Desert where the most "wild" and interesting yardang for study are found, according to geologists.

The "Snarks" sprang from the imaginative mind of Lewis Carroll, the author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." In 1874, he wrote the epic poem "The Hunting of the Snarks," a surreal work like most of Carroll's literary output. The book narrates the impossible and "surreal" journey of a disparate crew of ten "surreal" individuals from different professions. They embark on a search for a strange creature or being, difficult to define... the Snark. And to do so, they use an even more "surreal" map... a completely blank map. "The Hunting of the Snarks" is considered one of the masterpieces of the "nonsense" genre. Although Carroll claimed the work had no specific meaning, numerous theories have been proposed about his poem. For example, it's an allegory for happiness, since it can be seen as the unattainable pursuit of bliss, something that will never be found. Others suggest it's based on Carroll's existential anxieties surrounding the fear of disappearing or inner emptiness. Still others consider it a social satire, a mockery of the legal judgments of the time and, above all, the debates between science and religion. If you're interested, you can find the book on the Internet Archive website.

The singer jazz Bajka composed a song titled "The Bellman's Speech." If you'd rather not read this interesting book, you can listen to her song, which includes a summary of Carroll's book and a description of a Snark, allowing you to recognize and find this strange creature. There was no luck searching for a Squonk in Zanda. Nor was there any luck searching for a Snark in Hami Dahaidao... We'll have to keep looking elsewhere. Perhaps it's more surreal but easier to search for Rachel Welsh's "The Body" among the mists of the sheets in my dreams.
Vengan, escuchen, mientras les repito las cinco marcas inconfundibles por las cuales podrán reconocer, dondequiera que vayan, a los auténticos Snarks. El primero es el sabor, que es magro y hueco, pero fresco, como un abrigo demasiado ajustado en la cintura con sabor a fuego fatuo. Estarás de acuerdo en que su hábito de levantarse tarde, llega demasiado lejos, cuando digo, que frecuentemente desayuna a la hora del té de las cinco, y cena al día siguiente. El tercero es su lentitud para tomarse una broma, si por casualidad te atreves a hacerla. Suspirará como alguien profundamente afligido y siempre se mostrará serio ante un juego de palabras. La cuarta es su afición por las máquinas de baño que lleva consigo constantemente y cree que realzan la belleza de los paisajes... un sentimiento abierto a la duda. La quinta es la ambición. Será justo describir cada grupo en particular, distinguiendo a los que tienen plumas y muerden, de los que tienen bigotes y arañan. porque, aunque los Snarks comunes no hacen daño, sin embargo, considero mi deber decir que algunos son Boojums. Hemos navegado muchas semanas, hemos navegado muchos días. Siete días a la semana, supongo, pero a un verdadero Snark, a quién podríamos contemplar con amor... nunca lo hemos visto hasta ahora.

Bajka in Wonderland - Bajka (2011)
The funerary chapel contains prefigurations of the Virgin and Themes of Resurrection and Judgment. Like the narthexes, the program of the parekklesion is divided between the Virgin and Christ. Here, however, the overriding theme is Salvation, befitting a funeral chapel. The western domed bay is devoted to the Virgin; the upper walls represent Old Testament prefigurations of the Virgin, emphasizing her role in Salvation. The eastern bay is devoted to the Last Judgment. The complex program of the chapel culminates in the conch of the apse, where the Anastasis (Harrowing of Hell) is represented, flanked by scenes of resurrection. Unlike the narthexes and the naos, the parekkelsion is decorated with frescoes
CHORA MONASTERY
In the northwest part of the historical center of Constantinople and in a small distance from the Byzantine gate of Edirne, Chora Monastery is located. Its name comes from the use of the word “chora” (the lands/dwelling place) in the mosaic of Christ as “Chora of the Living” and in the mosaic of Panagia as “Chora of the Uncontainable” in the interior of the church.
From the old monastic complex, only the katholikon remains till today. Furthermore, we are not sure about its dedication to Christ or Panagia, or even to both of them.
Equally doubtful remains the foundation time of the monastery, since not only the years of Justinian I (527-565) have been suggested, but also the years of Heraclius (610-641). However, there is certainty that during the 12th century a grand church is being built, while in the beginning of the 14th century it is widely renovated. This was the extended renovation program, funded by the logothetes tou genikou, Theodore Metochites, who associated his name to the monument, thus sealing the greatest period in all of its history. The construction of the double narthex and the south chapel, which were decorated with mosaics and frescoes respectively, is attributed to Metochites. These works comprise the greatest expression of the Palaiologan art during the artistically rich reign of Andronicus II (1282-1328) and they are still admired by all.
On the day of the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, the monastery was one of the first religious monuments to undergo the plunder. Later, at the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century, Chora was transformed into a mosque named Kariye.
The restoration of the monument, the reveal but also the cleaning of the mosaics was made in two periods, the first one in the beginning and the second in the mid-20th century.
The Chora Monastery operated as a museum (Kariye Müzesi) from 1945 to 2020, when it was converted back into a mosque by decision of the Turkish authorities.
ΜΟΝΗ ΤΗΣ ΧΩΡΑΣ
Στη βορειοδυτική πλευρά του ιστορικού κέντρου της Κωνσταντινούπολης και σε μικρή απόσταση από τη βυζαντινή πύλη της Αδριανούπολης, βρίσκεται η περίφημη Μονή της Χώρας. Το όνομά της οφείλει στον προσδιορισμό των ψηφιδωτών του Χριστού ως «Χώρας των Ζώντων» και της Παναγίας ως «Χώρας του Αχωρήτου» στο εσωτερικό της.
Από το παλαιό μοναστηριακό συγκρότημα σήμερα σώζεται μόνο το καθολικό του. Ως προς την αφιέρωσή του, δεν γνωρίζουμε με βεβαιότητα αν ανήκε στο Χριστό, στην Παναγία ή και στους δύο.
Εξίσου αμφίβολος είναι και ο χρόνος ίδρυσης της μονής, που τοποθετείται είτε επί βασιλείας Ιουστινιανού (527-565), είτε στα χρόνια του Ηρακλείου (610-641). Το βέβαιο είναι πως στον 12ο αι. κτίζεται μεγαλόπρεπος ναός, ενώ στις αρχές του 14ου αι. δέχεται ριζική ανακαίνιση. Πρόκειται για το εκτεταμένο πρόγραμμα εργασιών που εκτελέστηκε με χρηματοδότηση του λογοθέτη του γενικού Θεόδωρου Μετοχίτη, ο οποίος συνέδεσε το όνομά του με αυτό το μνημείο, σφραγίζοντας την πιο λαμπρή περίοδο στην ιστορία της μονής. Σε εκείνον οφείλεται η κατασκευή του διπλού νάρθηκα και του νότιου παρεκκλησίου, τα οποία διακοσμήθηκαν με ψηφιδωτά και τοιχογραφίες αντίστοιχα. Τα έργα αυτά αποτελούν την κορυφαία έκφραση της παλαιολόγειας τέχνης της πλουσιότατης καλλιτεχνικά βασιλείας του Ανδρονίκου Β΄ (1282-1328), και αντικείμενο θαυμασμού ειδικών και μη.
Την ημέρα της άλωσης του 1453, η μονή υπήρξε μεταξύ των πρώτων εκκλησιαστικών μνημείων που δέχθηκαν τη λεηλασία. Αργότερα, στα τέλη του 15ου με αρχές του 16ου αι., η Χώρα μετατράπηκε σε τζαμί με το όνομα Kariye.
Η αναστήλωση του μνημείου, η αποκάλυψη αλλά και ο καθαρισμός των ψηφιδωτών του πραγματοποιήθηκαν σε δύο περιόδους εργασιών, την πρώτη στις αρχές και τη δεύτερη στα μέσα περίπου του 20ού αι.
Η Μονή της Χώρας λειτούργησε ως μουσείο (Kariye Müzesi) από το 1945 έως το 2020, οπότε και μετατράπηκε εκ νέου σε τζαμί με απόφαση των τουρκικών αρχών
" Judgment Awakened My Heart " | praise and worship music With Lyrics
Introduction
What should I seek in my faith? Now I have had an awakening. Before, I believed in the Lord just for blessings. I enjoyed God's grace quite greedily. But judgment awakened my heart. I said all the right things in prayer, but in practice did whatever I wanted. What I did for God was for my future and fate. The truth I did not practice. Then judgment awakened my heart. I worshiped God living in religious rites, but in my heart, I was empty, not filled. My corrupt disposition was not cleansed. How could I carry out God's will? God’s words are like a double-edged sword, piercing my heart and spirit. I've suffered much through trials and refinement, my corruption being cleansed. I've tasted God’s love, and I am determined to seek and gain the truth. I will faithfully fulfill my duty to God to repay His love and be His true witness.

The Hymn of God's Word "God Has Returned Triumphant"
Accompaniment: Ah … ah … ah … ah….
1. O Zion, shout for joy! O Zion, sing! God has returned triumphant; God has returned victorious! O all peoples, line up quickly. Oh all things, stand still. For God’s original person faces the entire universe and appears in the East of the world! Who shall not kneel down to worship? Who shall not confess the true God with his tongue? Who shall not look up to Him with a heart of fearing? Who shall not praise? Who shall not praise? Who shall not shout for joy? God’s people will listen to God’s voice. Who shall not praise? Who shall not shout for joy? God’s people will listen to God’s voice.
2. Mountains and rivers and all things should all shout for joy and leap unceasingly. At this time, no one, no one dare leave, and no person, matter, or thing dare rise to resist or revolt. This is God’s, God’s wonderful deed, much more God’s mighty power! God will make all have a heart that fears Him, and even more will make all praise Him, praise Him. This is the ultimate purpose of God’s six-thousand-year management plan, management plan, and this is also determined by God, this is also determined by God.
3. All God’s people will stream to God’s mountain, and will become subject before God, because God is possessed of majesty and judgment, also possessed of authority. Nothing will be difficult, and all things will be destroyed by the word of God’s mouth, by the word of God’s mouth, and established and accomplished by God’s word. This is God’s mighty power and God’s authority. God is brimming with power and filled with authority, no one dare hinder, and God has long overcome everything, and overcome all the sons of disobedience. Thus, all people have a heart of fearing God. This has been planned by God from the creation of the world. Thus, all people have a heart of fearing God. This has been planned by God from the creation of the world.

... it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.
(Hebrews 9:27)
Perched high and mighty, this hawk surveys its domain with the cold precision of someone who’s seen too much. Its talons grip the branch like it’s holding onto secrets. Its gaze? A mix of judgment, suspicion, and “I know what you did last nesting season.”
The bare branches add drama. The plumage screams “I woke up like this.” And the overall vibe? Corporate predator meets woodland drama.
Some say it’s the hawk that fired the squirrel from the tree. Others claim it once dive-bombed a drone for invading its airspace. But one thing’s certain: this bird didn’t come to play it, came to audit your soul.
