That Wall Will Fall!

 Graffiti on the apartheid wall in Bethlehem  in Occupied Palestine --> Jesus Christ is carrying pieces of the broken wall in his hand!



Ezekiel 13

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of the LORD:

3 Thus saith the LORD, Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

4 O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.

6 They have seen falsehood and lying divination, that say, the LORD saith; but the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

7 Have ye not seen a false vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, in that ye say, the LORD saith; albeit I have not spoken?

8 Therefore thus saith the LORD: Because ye have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you.

9 And my hand shall be against the prophets that see false visions, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one buildeth up a wall, behold, they daub it with untempered mortar:

11 say unto them that daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.

12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?

13 Therefore thus saith the LORD: I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and the work shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered mortar; and I will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;

16 to wit, the prophets of Israel that prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the LORD.

The Chambers of My Heart - Al Mutanabbi

Image
My translation does not do it justice :   Tell my dear beloved who lives in the chambers of my heart, That even if I don't meet him, I still meet him And that my sight is connected to seeing him... Even if our dwellings are far away from one another I hope he realizes that I don't remember him As how can I remember him if I can't forget him in the first place? O you who thought that I don't remember him And God knows that I never forget about him If he is away from me, my soul is his home So how possibly could the heart forget who lives in the soul?   - Al-Mutanabbi  (915 – 23 September 965)   Here is a recitation of the poem in Arabic :       And  h ere is the original poem in Arabic :                                                         “ابلغ عزيزاً فى ثنايا القلب منزله أنى وإن كنت لا ألقاه ألقاه وإن طرفى موصول برؤيته وإن تباعد عن سكناى سكناه يا ليته يعلم أنى لست أذكره وكيف اذكره إذ لست أنساه يا من توهم أنى لست أ
