The Vision of Joshua the High Priest

1 And He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. 2 And the LORD said to Satan, "May the LORD rebuke you, Satan! May even the LORD Who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked out of the fire?" 3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. 4 And He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, "Take the filthy garments from off him." And to him He said, "Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with ceremonial robes." 5 And I said, "Let them set a clean mitre on his head." And they set a clean mitre on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.

6 And the angel of the LORD charged Joshua, saying, 7 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'If you will walk in My ways, and if you will keep My charge, then you shall also judge My house, and shall also keep My courts, and I will give you places to walk among these who stand by.

8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men wondered at, for behold, I will bring forth My Servant the Branch! 9 For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua: On one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave its engraving upon it,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10 In that day,' says the LORD of hosts, 'you shall call, each man to his neighbor, to sit under the vine and under the fig tree.'" — Zechariah 3 | A Faithful Version (AFV) Holy Bible, A Faithful Version © 2020 A Faithful Version.

I've chosen this image for this verse because that how I picture myself finding Jesus,when I finally see his beautiful face. Like an emerging light covering all the darkness and sadness of this world. Welcome to the house of the lord.

Here, have some love

Behold, thou art great in all the land! And dost thou require some loving? And who shall grant thee it? Doth not any man have the means, nor any man the ability, nor any the will? And from whence shall this treasured thing come unto thee?

I, behold, I shall give it unto thee! And if I hath such sufficient knowledge, and hath such ability, so as to write thee this out, and place it into the palm of thy hand, that thou mayest keep it: and keeping it, treasure it, for as long as thou mightest desire to behold it in thy sight: behold, I would!

Have thee now, as my prayer stands, fulfilment, and joy, and peace, and courage, and strength, and have all such wisdom as thou mightest have need of in the coming hours of thy day!

heads up y'all, new "Get loved, nerd" just dropped

I normally delete those and things like this (esp those 'put this in the inbox of someone on your dash!' with flower emojis) - the copy+pasted formulaic greeting is fun sometimes, but it comes off as empty, the person is on anon 4/5ths of the time, and how am I to know if I'm just filling the 'five ppl on your dash' quota?

THIS however - this took effort. This took love. This is a prayer. This is undeniably personalized. This touches my heart. I want to take Anon and hold them up above my head and say EVERYBODY LOOK AT ANON, AREN'T THEY WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL?

Like - it's even in perfect King James English! I haven't seen one person on tumblr get this right in a single sentence, much less three paragraphs! I don't care if they're Just Good At It (like me) or spent two hours going through that one grammar post on King James English I reblogged a few weeks ago, painstakingly making sure it's right bc they wanted to send me love in my language - either way, Anon and I should be absolute besties! Who are you?!?

-rereading this joy of an ask again- it's not just the grammar that's King James English, it's the STYLE! It's the poetic rephrasing and repetition! It's not "I giveth it to thee" it's the object-focused "I place it into the palm of thy hand" ALSKDFJAKLSDFALKSDFALKSD

and it's a PRAYER!! aaahhhh! I love and I treasure this!!

somebody on my dash knows me too well and I DEMAND to know who. Anon, reveal thyself!

A Father's Discipline

1 A wise son heeds his father's instruction, but a scorner does not hear rebuke.

2 A man shall eat good from the fruit of his mouth, but the soul of the transgressor shall eat violence.

3 He who keeps his mouth keeps his life, but he who opens his lips wide shall have destruction.

4 The soul of the sluggard desires and has nothing, but the soul of the diligent shall be abundantly gratified.

5 The righteous hates lying, but the wicked one is loathsome and comes to shame.

6 Righteousness guards the one who is upright in the way, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.

7 There are those who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing; and those who pretend to be poor, yet have great riches.

8 The ransom of a man's life is his riches, but the poor does not hear rebuke.

9 The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

10 Only by pride comes contention, but with those who take advice is wisdom.

11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished, but he who gathers by labor shall increase.

12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when desire is fulfilled it is a tree of life.

13 Whoever despises the Word shall be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment shall be rewarded.

14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

15 Good understanding gives favor, but the way of transgressors is hard.

16 Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a fool lays open his folly.

17 A wicked messenger falls into mischief, but a faithful ambassador is health.

18 Poverty and shame shall be to him who refuses instruction, but he who regards correction shall be honored.

19 The desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but it is an abomination to fools to turn from evil.

20 He who walks with wise men shall be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

21 Evil pursues sinners, but to the righteous good shall be repaid.

22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.

23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor, but there is that which is destroyed for lack of judgment.

24 He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

25 The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked suffers want. — Proverbs 13 | A Faithful Version (AFV) Holy Bible, A Faithful Version © 2020 A Faithful Version.

too cute 😋🫶🏾

[silver-stake-through-the-heart]

Look, no disrespect, but ahh, I'm not exactly a believer.

-1x12

Casey: Do you believe in God, Dean? I'd be surprised if you did.

I don't know. I'd like to.

-3x04

You didn't toy with us, Chuck, okay? You didn't create us. (...) Chuck, you're not a god!

-4x18

Well, I feel stupid doing this. But… I am fresh out of options. So please. I need some help. I'm praying, okay? Come on. Please.

Prayer is a sign of faith. This is a good thing, Dean.

-4x18

Listen, Chuckles, even if there is a God, he is either dead—and that's the generous theory—

He is out there, Dean.

—or he's up and kicking and doesn't give a rat's ass about any of us.

-5x02

I mean there were times when I was looking for my dad when all logic said that he was dead, but I knew in my heart he was still alive. Who cares what some ninja turtle says, Cas, what do you believe?

I believe he's out there.

Good. Then go find him.

-5x03

And you're just gonna do whatever God says.

Michael: Yes, because I am a good son.

Okay, well, trust me, pal. Take it from someone who knows—that is a dead-end street.

-5x13

Thanks.

Yeah, don't mention it. Yeah, I've been there. I'm a big expert on deadbeat dads. So…Yeah, I get it. I know how you feel.

-5x17

Listen, I need you to pray to your angel buddies and let them know that I'm here.

-5x18

Cas, are you God?

That's a nice compliment. But no.

-5x22

What do you mean you don't know?

Sam: I mean, no idea. I–I'm just back.

Well, was it God, or– or– or Cas? I mean, does Cas know anything about it?

-6x01

Sam: Castiel…This is really important, okay? Um…We really need to talk to you.

Castiel…Come on in.

Cas is busy.

-6x20

I'm not an angel anymore. I'm your new god. You will bow down and profess your love unto me, your Lord, or I shall destroy you.

Stop.

What's the point if you don't mean it? You fear me. Not love, not respect, just fear.

-7x01

Yeah? What about God part deux?

-7x01

Sam: Dean, all we can do is talk to the guy.

He's not a guy. He's God. And he's pissed. And when God gets righteous, you get the hell out of the way; haven't you read the Bible?

-7x01

Sam: Well, I mean is there some kind of heavenly weapon? Maybe something out of that angel arsenal that Balthazar stole? There has to be something that can hurt him.

He's God, Sam. There's nothing, but there might be someone.

-7x01

Cas, you got your ears on? Listen, you know I am not one for praying, 'cause in my book it's... it's the same as begging. But this is about Sam, so I need you to hear me. We are going into this deal blind... and I don't know what's ahead or what it's gonna bring for Sam. Now, he's covering pretty good, but I know that he is hurting, and this one was supposed to be on me. So, for all that we've been through, I'm asking you– you keep a lookout for my little brother, okay? Where the hell are you, man?

-8x16

Doctor: I'm afraid that's in God's hands now.

You're a doctor. You're a medical professional. You're trying to tell me that my brother's life is in God's hands? What, is that supposed to be a– a comfort?

Doctor: Mr. Dougherty–

No, God has nothing to do with this equation at all.

Doctor: I didn't mean–

That's not good enough.

Cas, are you there? Sammy's hurt. He's hurt, uh– he's hurt pretty bad. And, um... I know you think that I'm pissed at you, okay? But I don't care that the angels fell. So whatever you did or didn't do, it doesn't matter, okay? We'll work it out. Please, man, I need you here.

-9x01

There is a God. *answers the phone* Hello?

I may have a case for you.

-9x06

Metatron is trying to play God.

Sam: Play God? Cas, he erased angel warding. He friggin' blew out Holy Fire. He is God. He's powering up with the angel tablet. How the hell are we supposed to stop this guy?

All right, so what if there is a stairway to heaven? We find it and get a drop on the guy.

-9x18

Tessa: There's no God. There's only Castiel.

-9x22

I believe there is a God. But I'm not sure he still believes in us.

-10x06

Don't count on God. Okay? Count on us.

-11x07

Chuck: Well, I've been mulling it over. And from where I sit, I think it has.

Well, from where I sit, it feels like you left us and you're trying to justify it.

Chuck: I know you had a complicated upbringing, Dean, but don't confuse me with your dad.

-11x21

Gail: Do you know God, gentlemen?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, we're– we're besties.

-12x04

Okay, Chuck… or god, or whatever. I need your help. See, you– you left us. You left us. You went off. You said… You said the earth would be fine because it had me… and it had Sam, but it’s not, and we’re not.

We've lost everything. And now you're gonna bring him back. Okay?

God's not listening. He doesn't give a damn.

-13x01

Okay, that's it. I'm done, all right? 'Cause he's not God, he's not Cas, he's not Simba. He's the friggin' Devil!

-13x02

Oh, I believe. Hell, I know. God? He doesn't give a damn about you or me or anyone else. So, if you're expecting some sort of a-a miracle to happen, well… good luck.

-13x15

No, we're done talking. 'Cause this– this isn't just a story. It's our lives! So God or no God, you go to hell.

-14x20

Fight God? Without the gun? It's God, Sam. And he's coming for us. How the hell are we supposed to fight God?

-15x05

Listen to yourself. "We're owed." "We deserve." Come on, man. You're not God. Hell, God's not even God.

-15x07

Cas? Cas, I hope you can hear me... that wherever you are, it's not too late. I should've stopped you. You're my best friend, but I just let you go. 'Cause it was easier than admitting I was wrong.

I– Ohh. I don't know why I get so angry. I just know– I know that it's– i-it's just always been there. And when things go bad, it just– it comes out. And I can't– I can't stop it. No matter how– how bad I want to, I just can't stop it. And– And I– I forgive you. Of course I forgive you. I'm sorry it took me so long– I'm sorry it took me till now to say it. Cas, I'm– I'm so sorry. Man, I hope you can hear me. I hope you can hear me. Okay.

Okay, Cas, I need to say something.

You don't have to say it. I heard your prayer.

-15x09

Sam: So… does this mean you're the new… I mean, what do we call you?

Who cares what we call him? Look, all that matters is he got us back online.

-15x19

Do not make any idols in any form, because the Lord your God hates for his people to worship other gods. The Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. He tolerates no rivals.
