2014.05.18. the heaven and the earth, and the earth is served by the whole creation, which revolves around for times, giving glory and praising its Lord, as the prophet David says by the Spirit: «Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heavens! Praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, all His angels! Praise Him, all His army! Praise Him, sun and moon! Praise Him, all you shining stars! Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for He commanded, and they were created. He Who has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away. Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths! Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling His word; mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all ce- dars; wild animals and all cattle; small creatures and flying birds; kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth; both young men and maidens; old men and children; let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens. He has lifted up the horn of His people, the praise of all His saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to Him». (Ps: 148/1-14) «For the Lord takes pleasure in His people. He crowns the humble with salvation. Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds. May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand; to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; to bind their kinds with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute on them the written judgment. All His saints have this honor. Praise the Lord! (Ps: 149/4-9) Amen. Oh, take an example, Romanian sons, from all those that listen to the Lord and exalt Him, as it is written. The whole creation of the Lord serves the earth, for the Lord has set on earth the life of all the creatures made at His word, and then He set the life of the man God had built with His hand on the earth; not on the mood, not on the stars, not on other creatures set by the Lord in the vault of the sky, oh, no, Romanian people, and behold, the whole creation serves the earth and the man and all the creatures, all praise the Lord and ask Him to receive. Only man, only man does no longer love, only he does no longer serve the Lord, for he has exalted himself and serves sin, poor of him. The earth is made by the Lord and everything that revolves around serves it, but man does no longer want to serve; man does no longer want to be with God; he does no longer know how to serve God, even if he sees the whole creation serving to its Creator and listening to Him. Oh, sons, faithful to the Lord in the Romanian people, you will see among you the big fall of the proud, who buy glory for themselves. You will see this, for justice does not save the proud from it, for woe to the one who relies on man, and more than this, woe to the one who relies on himself! You, those who are the Lord’s faithful ones in the Romanian people, get up, wake up and be one spirit with the people of My word into the midst of this nation, for I am establishing now those who receive My word to its sharing upon you; I am setting them to prayer with much perseverance seven times a day for the salvation of the Romanian people from its oppressors, who lay hold on the high seats to sit on them and to bring the Romanian people on its kneels. Oh, the heaven is sad, and the ghosts started to answer to the lawlessness of the proud and then to the carelessness, in which many from the Romanian people stay, to wake them up with a noise and to shake them so that they may wake up. Oh, Romanian people, do not play with your destiny of today, of tomorrow and with the last one, after the Lord will reign all over! Oh, do not play, Romanian people! I, the Lord, exhort 3
