Revelation 18:3-10 – For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her (universal ecumenical church and daughters) fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. [4] And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. [5] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. [6] Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. [7] How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. [8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. [9] And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, [10] Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

French Jewish Immigration Reaches New High
Judy Maltz
(Ha’aretz)
854 French immigrants arrived in Israel in January and February, the Jewish Agency said Sunday.
In 2013, 3,300 French Jews immigrated to Israel, an increase of 70% over the previous year.
With 500,000 Jews, France is home to the third largest Jewish community in the world.
Excerpt 2 – Time
Egypt’s Christians Place Their Faith in Al-Sisi
Aryn Baker
(TIME)
The army chief-turned-presidential candidate, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, is the miracle that Egypt’s 8 million Christians have been waiting for after weathering an Islamist leadership.
When Sisi announced on July 3, 2013, that he had just overthrown President Mohamed Morsi, he was flanked by Egypt’s two most important religious leaders, the Grand Sheikh of al Azhar Mosque and Pope Tawadros, head of Egypt’s Christian church, united on one stage.
Now that Sisi is planning a presidential run, he can count on solid support from a Christian population traumatized by fears of continued communal attacks.

How the Japan Quake moved the Earth on its Axis
Monday 14 March 2011
Experts have said the force of the earthquake in Japan shifted the earth’s axis by 25 centimetres and shortened the day by 1.8 microseconds – but what does this mean?
Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology has calculated that the earth’s axis moved by a quarter of a metre as a result of the devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan, the largest ever recorded in the country.
The US Geological Survey said the main island of Japan had moved 2.4 metres as a result of the quake. It also said hundreds of aftershocks have hit Japan since the main quake, at least two dozen of which have topped magnitude 6, the size of the Christchurch earthquake.

Japan: how dangerous are nuclear blasts?
The earthquake, which has had an appalling impact in Japan after causing a huge tsunami, is the fifth most powerful to hit the world in the past century.
It surpassed Japan’s biggest previous tremor, the Great Kanto Quake of 1923, which had a magnitude of 7.9 and killed more than 140,000 people in the Tokyo area.
Channel 4 News special report – Japan: tsunami to nuclear crisis
It has also shortened the length of a day on earth by around 1.8 microseconds. To put that into context, one earth day is 24 hours, or 86,400 seconds long.
The length of days varies by around 1 millisecond a year naturally – 1,000 microseconds – and this isn’t the first time an earthquake has had an impact on time in this way. Last year’s earthquake in Chile, which had an 8.8 magnitude, also sped up the earth’s rotation and shaved 1.26 microseconds off the day.

PREVIEW OF COMING TRIBULATION HORRORS
The Great Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake & Tsunami!
Some 27 years ago I began a lectures series titled “A Geological Exposition of the Second Coming of Christ.” In that series I exposited on a wide variety of Scriptures describing the geological topographical changes in the crust of the earth, both horizontal and vertical, and the resultant affects it would produce on the geomagnetic and geophysical balance of the earth’s axis, as well as its movement in space.
For more than four months, teams of scientists have been evaluating the characteristics and results of the great earth movement that produced the massive killer tsunami on December 26, 2004 in the archipelago of the Malayan East Indies.
A correlation with what I have been teaching for 27 years, and the characteristics and results of the great earth movement, will be made in this Update, along with a preview of the same things which will occur many times over during the last three and one-half years of the tribulation period. I have been teaching what follows for 29 years at Dardanelle MBC.
The first earthquake in the book of Revelation occurs on the opening of the sixth seal and begins the last three and one-half years of great tribulation with the initial movement of the earth’s massive tectonic structure.
Revelation 6:12A – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake;
Revelation 6:14B – And every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
The last earthquake in the book of Revelation occurs on the pouring out of the last vial of wrath, and closes the movement of the earth’s massive tectonic structure.
Revelation 16:18 – And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
Revelation 16:20 – And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
There is no question that all the mountains and islands of this planet are firmly attached to the earth’s surface crust, nor is there any question that the earth’s crust floats and moves in the direction determined by the currents of magma underlying its crust, nor is there any question that the mountains and islands merely ride on top of the crust in the direction of the crust’s movement, nor is there any question that their longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates in microseconds change as they float as plate passengers, nor is there any question that their location coordinates in microseconds have considerably changed over the last 500 years, having fled from their coordinates of 500 years ago, and are no longer found at their old locations. Their 500 year changes in location will be much less than their tribulation movements.
The first great earthquake in Revelation will initiate an accelerated movement of the entire plate structure and, by the time of the last quake in Revelation, there will have been an average worldwide movement of 3 to 5 feet along the borders of the thousands of miles of plate boundaries across the surface of the earth. This will produce thousands of fantastic worldwide earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis along the borders of the tectonic plates for some three and one half years.
Now, let’s compare this claim of 3 to 5 feet worldwide movement with the Malay Archipelago event. Scientists estimated the average slippage along the entire length of the plate boundary was in excess of 16 feet, with some areas moving nearly 50 feet. The entire length of the fault boundary slippage was almost 800 miles, like a movement along a crack in the earth from Florida to New England.
An earthquake normally lasts less than 30 seconds, but the December 26 earthquake lasted at least 10 minutes, and had a magnitude between 9.0 and 9.3. Aftershocks have raked the area for the last four months. All the phenomena associated with worldwide tectonic plate movements were graphically described by the prophet Isaiah and by Jesus in many of his statements.
Isaiah 29:6 – Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
Luke 21:25,26 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Some 30 years ago I was taught the principle of isostasy. It has to do with principles governing the geomagnetic and geophysical balance of the earth, and is directly affected by massive weight balance shifts in horizontal and vertical movements of the outer and inner crust. The earth has experienced more than one mountain building period which produced periods of shift in its isostasy, causing reversals of its magnetic field, and such events as abnormal percussion of its axis, causing a tottering of its axis, and a slight change in its solar orbit. I am convinced this will happen during the last three and one half years of the tribulation period. The single event in the December episode in the earth’s crust in the East Indies will be magnified by a multiplicity of similar events, which will lead to worldwide tectonic chaos. Scientists were amazed that the entire earth vibrated. The ground in Sri Lanka, more than 1000 miles from the earthquake epicenter, moved up and down by almost four inches, and no place on earth escaped movement. It was powerful enough to vibrate the whole planet as much as half an inch. The quake released an amount of energy equal to a 100 gigaton bomb. A one gigaton bomb releases the energy of a billion tons of TNT, and the power of that energy lasted longer than any quake ever recorded.
I have taught for 29 years that the earth’s outer crust, which now consists of some 27 tectonic plates, varying in size from very small to gigantic, would begin to move on the opening of the sixth seal and, by the time the movement ceased some three and one-half years later, there might be as many as 30 to 35 due to breakage into smaller pieces. And, because of this massive change in isostasy the planet would go out of balance sufficiently to briefly totter on its geomagnetic axis during the tribulation, and there would be a slight change in its elliptical orbit around the sun.
The Old Testament prophetic tribulation Scriptures are indicative of what I have written in the three preceding paragraphs, some of which are as follows.
Haggai 2:6 – For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
Ezekiel 38:19,20 – For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; [20] So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Isaiah 24:1 – Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
Isaiah 13:13 – Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Isaiah 24:19,20 – The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. [20] The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
In Isaiah 24:19, the expression, “clean dissolved,” does not mean the entire earth melted. The literal meaning of the Hebrew word “parar” is “to break in pieces. It was translated as “clean dissolved” in the Authorized Version because any large object broken into smaller pieces would be more difficult to see in its individual smaller pieces than when it was whole. Isaiah 24:19 portrays an earth broken into smaller tectonic pieces of crust by the great excessive movements of the outer crust. Isaiah 19:20 describes the results of this great shifting – the earth will totter slightly in space on its axis as though it had lost its equilibrium like a drunk person. The word translated “cottage” is the Hebrew word “melunah,” which means “hammock.” It pictures a hammock tied between two trees, and pictures the earth swinging slightly in space like a man dozing in a hammock. Because of a great redistribution of weight in the earth’s upper crust, the earth may undergo a reversal of its geomagnetic poles. The close of verse 20 advises it will never be found exactly as it was before the great shaking occurred.
I believe the Lord means just what he said in Matthew and Daniel concerning the tribulation period.
Matthew 24:21,22 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Daniel 12:1 – And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Nahum 1:6 – Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
And many New Testament Scriptures are companion in character to previously listed Old Testament prophecies of the coming terrible events of the tribulation period. Once the tectonic plates begin to shift on a worldwide basis, it will eventually build a cloud shroud around the earth in the stratosphere, as the smoke from thousands of volcanic eruptions is blown upward through the vast tropopause inversion layer. This movement of tectonic plates will send hail, fire, and brimstone down upon the earth in a fantastic display of graphic horror never seen before by man on a worldwide scale – just a few of these Scriptures follow.
Revelation 6:15 – And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Revelation 8:5B – And there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Revelation 11:13A – And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand:
Malachi 4:1 – For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Revelation 8:7 – The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Revelation 8:12 – And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
Revelation 9:2 – And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Joel 3:15 – The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Joel 3:13,14 – Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. [14] Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
Jude 1:14,15 – And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, [15] To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
Zechariah 14:4 – And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Zechariah 13:8,9 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Malachi 4:2 – But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Acts 2:20,21 – The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Acts 4:12 – Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 10:13 – For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:17 – So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:9,10 – That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Earth’s Groaning and Travailing Will Eventually Accelerate!
I have been consistent from my first book to the last in the insistence that there would be an increase in natural disasters in advance of the tribulation period, and that the increase would show a massive acceleration across the earth following the first great earthquake found in Revelation 6:12, which begins the last 1260 days of the tribulation period.
Revelation 6:12 – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
In my last book of the early eighties, “Tribulation Birth Pangs from the Bottomless Pit,” I titled chapter 1, “The Birth Pangs”, and began it as follows:
BEGIN QUOTE FROM CHAPTER 1
Romans 8:19,22 – For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. [22] For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Before the sons of God appear in glorious manifestation on the millennial earth, there is to be a groaning of God’s creation, and the earth will travail like a woman experiencing birth pangs. Birth pangs were occasionally felt in the earth’s crust by seismic shakings during the time of Paul’s writings, but Matthew indicated they would increase noticeably, even before the tribulation period, in a period of time identified as “the beginning of sorrows.”
Matthew 24:7,8 – For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.
END QUOTE FROM CHAPTER 1
Please allow me to continue discussing this acceleration of groaning by a crust that has been producing great groaning sounds for a very long time as its plates slid by one another to produce earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunami.
Romans 8:22 – For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
The word translated “creation” is “ktisis,” which means “all that which was created,” and, in this context, refers to all that God created, including the earth, all that is on it and in it.
The last massive groaning and travail in pain by earth occurred when man had reached such a state of utter degradation in ungodly immorality that God deemed it necessary to bring judgment on the human race, and he did it by using his creation, the earth, to bring it to pass.
God used his earth to destroy man who dwelt on it – He destroyed man with the earth.
Genesis 6:5,13 – And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. [13] And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I WILL DESTROY THEM WITH THE EARTH.
My comments on this verse, which I placed in “The Key of the Bottomless Pit,” more than 25 years ago, and the one which follows it, are quoted from an extract from the book as follows: (Begin Quote from Book)
“We are told repeatedly in the New Testament, “as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man.” Please recall the magnitude of this first great tribulation in which only eight people survived, the rest being destroyed by water. Please observe in verse 13 that God, not man, did the destroying (I will destroy); and please note it was not done with man’s help or technology (with the earth). God used his own natural creation to destroy sinful mankind with water. How did God being it to pass? The answer is found in Genesis 7:11,12.
Genesis 7:11,12 – In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep BROKEN UP, and the windows of heaven were opened. [12] And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
Most biblical references of today positively identify the “great deep” of verse 11 as the crustal surface of the earth that underlies the seas and oceans of the world. May I remind you that God created the crust of the earth long ago and is able to manipulate it as he pleases. Virtually all references identify “windows of heaven” as the atmosphere of the earth, which was also a previous creation of God. So God took two things he has already created and manipulated them to bring forth water from above and below to destroy sinful mankind.
In the approaching Great Tribulation Period, God will once again manipulate the crust and its atmosphere to bring forth not water, but rather fire from below and from above. During the pages that follow, I will show that God intends to shake the earth to its geological foundations by his great power, and the results of that shaking will be the fulfillment of most of the destructive prophecies uttered by the revelator John and the Old Testament prophets concerning the last years of this age.” (End Quote from Book)
The soon coming tribulation period will see the greatest groaning and travail of the earth that has ever occurred since God placed man upon it.
Matthew 24:21 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Revelation 16:18 – And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
Romans 8:22,19 – For we know that the whole creation (ktisis) groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. [19] For the earnest expectation of the creature (ktisis) waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
The same Greek word, “ktisis” is used for “creation” and “creature.” In context it refers to all the things God created except man, and it is mankind that the rest of his creation is waiting to see manifested in glorified form, children of God in glorified bodies when Christ brings them back to earth at his Second Advent. The greatest massive groaning and travailing of the earth will occur during the last 1260 days of the tribulation period, which will be ended by the return of the saved to the earth at the Second Advent of Jesus. The massive local groaning and travailing of the earth’s crust that produced the tsunami in the East Indies is a forerunner of what we can expect on a worldwide basis during the great tribulation period. We have not yet entered into the tribulation period, but I do believe our entrance is just around the corner, not in the distant future.
The most important thing for a child of God is not to know WHEN it will occur, but to be ready now for its sudden arrival. A child of God should want to have great rewards with Christ at his Second Advent. One surely needs to be in one of the Lord’s churches, and to be member who is watching for Christ’s coming in his lifestyle and work for Christ, as Jesus indicates in his warning to the church at Sardis. Men and women are not saved by their baptism, church membership, or works, but such things determine what you wear on the glorified body, and where you live relative to where the Lord positions himself in the millennium on this earth, and in the final kingdom on the new earth. I am saved eternally by grace through faith, but make no mistake, as one who is assured of living in heaven, I would be a spiritual fool if I did not follow my master’s example. He walked some 50 miles to be baptized by the proper authority, and, as the head and foundation of the first church, was faithful to death. Works by saved men and women determine what they wear and where they live after they have already arrived in heaven. You will not lose your inner garment, but you can lose your robe and your crown if you sow to the flesh rather than to the Spirit, who indwells you and tries to lead your saved soul in good works.
Ephesians 4:30 – And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Galatians 6:7 – Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
John warned the churches at Sardis and Philadelphia that lifestyles of individual church members would be manifested by the outer appearance of what they would be wearing one day in heaven.
Revelation 3:2-4 – Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. [3] Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. [4] Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
Revelation 3:11 – Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
His warning to the church at Laodicea is also for the entire church and the individual members of it. Most of the Lord’s churches today are in the spiritual condition of the church at Laodicea.
Revelation 3:14-22 – And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; [15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. [16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. [17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: [18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. [19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. [20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. [21] To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. [22] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Faithfulness in one of the Lord’s local churches will be manifested by the outer apparel he or she wears forever in heaven. Hopefully, this horrible tsunami in the East Indies may wake up some spiritually sleeping members to a more zealous service to God before the really great tsunamis of the tribulation period begin. Please take a look at the following Scriptures and ask yourself: How glorious will I appear in heaven?
Romans 8:22,19 – For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. [19] For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
I John 3:2 – Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
I Corinthians 15:38 – But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
I Corinthians 15:41,42 – There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. [42] So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
I Corinthians 15:49 – And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
I Corinthians 15:51,52 – Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Daniel 12:3 – And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
