Conserve

8.4.19
Kelley O'Hara

Conserve
Wealth
保护财富 
Bǎohù cáifù

Tomi o mamoru

Opes universalem
conservationem generabilium

Hear this you who dwell in society.
Economy favors conservative propriety.

High or low. Rich or poor.
Political action requires restraint in reform. 

My speech will speak for the knowledge of achievement.
My heart will meditate on understanding agreement.

I will incline my ear to moderation in expenditure.
I will watch for the cause of how events occur.

I will not allow evil to control my ways.
I will work for that which merits praise.

Wickedness seeks to destroy the value of worth.
Evil damaged products drawn from earth
to force others to pay for their deceptive work. 

The Redeemer redeemed us for our benefit
but earned redemption works to avoid the degenerate.

Life has been ransomed by the atonement
yet this placed us near the creative moment.

Personal effort lives for the family.
Trust is built for security against calamity
so we may live the life of faith naturally.

Work with wisdom and knowledge is better than
the automation of ignorance as the canned antediluvian.

Excess in desire has to be reduced to that which is right
to complete a task designated as somewhere in between fight or flight.

The wise make a will for when they perish
to leave wealth to those whom they cherish.

The family inheritance was made to be divided
but don't let greed act as the divisor.

Grave for Cremated Remains

The grave is but a place for that which died.
The worth of the will lives beyond that which the grave hides.

Honor lives in that which we treasure
as above that which is defined by bestial pleasure.

Liberals and socialists trust in their deception.
They seek to tax others for their belief in excess aggression.

Existential angst avoids work of any kind.
It kills the will that serves to drive.

Liberal legacy in tax will be changed.
The land of the dead will be rearranged.

God has ransomed my life from the pit.
I have been snatched from the grasp of the abyssmal rift.

Do not be envious when others do better.
Listen to learn what will be of more benefit for your effort. 

Memory lives in the life of soul.
The self in family allows for individual social growth.

Stories of success are bought for a  price
to promote a product to help things work right.

The faithful have joined the company of forebearance
to live with organization that values truth as apparent.

Those who live like animals with beastly passion
perish like beasties in their brutish fashion.

49 Audite hæc, omnes
Hear this, all

1 Hear this, all you peoples;
hearken, all you who dwell in the world,
you of high degree and low, rich and poor together.
2 My mouth shall speak of wisdom,
and my heart shall meditate on understanding.
3 I will incline my ear to a proverb
and set forth my riddle upon the harp.
4 Why should I be afraid in evil days,
when the wickedness of those at my heels surrounds me,
5 The wickedness of those who put their trust in their goods,
and boast of their great riches?
6 We can never ransom ourselves,
or deliver to God the price of our life;
7 For the ransom of our life is so great,
that we should never have enough to pay it,
8 In order to live for ever and ever,
and never see the grave.
9 For we see that the wise die also;
like the dull and stupid they perish
and leave their wealth to those who come after them.
10 Their graves shall be their homes for ever,
their dwelling places from generation to generation,
though they call the lands after their own names.
11 Even though honored, they cannot live for ever;
they are like the beasts that perish.
12 Such is the way of those who foolishly trust in themselves,
and the end of those who delight in their own words.
13 Like a flock of sheep they are destined to die;
Death is their shepherd;
they go down straightway to the grave.
14 Their form shall waste away,
and the land of the dead shall be their home.
15 But God will ransom my life;
he will snatch me from the grasp of death.
16 Do not be envious when some become rich,
or when the grandeur of their house increases;
17 For they will carry nothing away at their death,
nor will their grandeur follow them.
18 Though they thought highly of themselves while they lived,
and were praised for their success,
19 They shall join the company of their forebears,
who will never see the light again.
20 Those who are honored, but have no understanding,
are like the beasts that perish.

Ecclesiastes 1:21

Sometimes one who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge must leave all to be enjoyed by another who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

------------------------

Work with wisdom and knowledge is better than
the automation of ignorance as the canned antediluvian.

==================

Colossians 3:5

Put to death whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire and greed (which is idolatry).

------------------------

Excess in desire has to be reduced to that which is right
to complete a task designated as somewhere in between fight or flight.

=================

Luke 12:13-15

Someone in the crowd said to him, 'Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.' He said to him, 'Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?' He said to them, 'Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed. One's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.'

------------------------

The family inheritance was made to be divided
but be on your guard against greed as the divisor.

Diagram for Reason

John Venn
b. 8.4.1834 Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, England
d. 4.4.1923 Cambridge, England

John Venn was the man who established the diagrams that bear his name. The Venn diagram uses circles to contrast sets of named objects. When different sets contain some common elements, the sets intersect. The intersection presents common ground.

When two sets contain the same elements the relation is considered to be a union. When no elements are the same, they are separate.

The diagram is used in the fields of set theory, probability, logic, statistics, competition math and computer science.

The diagrams represent a way of looking at things that doesn't reject any definition as logically inconsistent with anything but the urgency of the agent. It doesn't claim that the interests of one set are universal to all others either. There is often common ground between sets defined by different interests.

Venn published The Logic of Chance in 1866. It was a ground-breaking book which espoused the frequency theory of probability. It offered  that probability should be determined by how often something is forecast to occur as opposed to “educated” assumptions.

Venn then further developed George Boole's theories in the 1881 work Symbolic Logic. This is where he highlighted what would become known as Venn diagrams.

Kingston upon Hull

Kingston upon Hull is a port city near the east coast of England. It is 40 km (25 miles) inland from the North Sea. It lies upon the River Hull at its confluence with the Humber Estuary. It is 80 km (50 miles)  east of Leeds, 55 km (34 miles) southeast of York and 87 km (54 miles) northeast of Sheffield.

The town of Wyke on Hull was founded late in the 12th century by the monks of Meaux Abbey. It was a port from which to export their wool. It was renamed Kings-town upon Hull in 1299.

Hull has been a market town, military supply port, trading hub, fishing and whaling center and industrial metropolis. Hull also established a flourishing commerce with the Baltic ports as part of the Hanseatic League in the 15th century.

William Wilberforce came from the city. He was the Representative of Parliament who took a prominent part in the abolition of the slave trade for Britain in the 18th century.

Whaling played a prominent role in the town's fortunes until the mid-19th century.

John Venn

John was born on 4 August 1834 in Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire to Martha Sykes and Rev. Henry Venn. Fr. Henry was  the rector of the parish of Drypool.

His mother came from Swanland near Hull. She died when he was 3 years old.

The Rev Henry Venn was a fellow of Queen's College. His father, John's grandfather, was the Rev John Venn. He had been the rector of Clapham in south London. He became the leader of the Clapham Sect, a group of evangelical Christians, who lobbied for the abolition of slavery, prison reform, the prevention of cruel sports and supported missionary work abroad.

The Society for Missions in Africa and the East was founded by evangelical clergy of the Church of England in 1799. It was renamed the Church Missionary Society for Africa and the East in 1812. The Rev Henry Venn became secretary to this Society in 1841. He moved to Highgate near London in order to carry out his duties. He held this position until his death in 1873.

John was brought up with a strict atmosphere at home. He began his education in London. He jointed Sir Roger Cholmeley's School with his brother Henry in September 1846. He moved on to Islington proprietary school. He went to Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge in October 1853. He obtained his degree in mathematics and became a fellow in 1857.

He followed his family vocation and became an Anglican priest. He was ordained in 1859. He served first at the church in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, and later in Mortlake, Surrey.

He returned to Cambridge University as a lecturer in Moral Science, studying and teaching logic and probability theory in 1862.

Venn was very good in the branch of mathematics we call ‘logic’. He has three textbooks to his name. ‘The Logic of Chance’ was published in 1866. He married Susanna Carnegie Edmonstone in 1868. They had a son, John Archibald Venn. He went into mathematics as well.

‘Symbolic Logic’ came out in 1881. The Principles of Empirical Logic was released in 1889.
The books dealt with the interpretation that is the frequency theory of probability. The first book had a great influence on in the theory of statistics and its development. ‘Symbolic Logic’ was the book that gave the introduction of the Venn diagrams.

The diagrams were a representation of the relation between sets using circles within a circle. Take three circles A, B and C which are all subsets of D for example. The sections which overlap represent similar properties are subsets.  The independent areas were the distinct properties of the sets. Venn diagrams can be applied in various problems. They are particularly useful in Boolean logic.

John resigned from the clergy in 1883. He had concluded that Anglicanism was incompatible with his philosophical beliefs. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in the same year. He was granted a Sc.D. from Cambridge in 1884. An Sc.D. is a doctor of science degree.

He was elected President of the College in 1903. He held the post until his death.

He died on 4 April 1923 at Cambridge.

Rescue

Judgement

Rescue
Me
救我

Eripe me

The purpose for punishment is correction.
Where is correction without redemption?


The blessed son of the light from the lamp
recorded the words to exalt God's camp.

He who was healed for the Most High to set up
was set on the path for a plan that would not let up.

The LORD said 'I am going to break down what I built with my hand
to pluck up what I have planted, the whole land.

'I will give you as king your life as a prize in war.
You will be spared in any place that you attempt to score.' 

The foster father, the brother of grace, was killed with a sword
as the hero sought to act as an emblem for the hand of the Lord.

The Son said, 'It is not mine for you to sit at my side
The place has been prepared by my Father to be satisfied.

I take refuge in you in whom I believe.
Deliver me from all who pursue to retrieve me.

Vindicate me from the charges pressed.
I did not do that which was said. 

Rescue me from those who persecute
to destroy or reduce to servitude.

They seek to tear me to pieces like a lion
or to shoot me with an arrow from the bow of Orion.

O Lord my God, if I had done the things of which I have been accused
I would be guilty of having been the one who had abused.

If I had repaid my friend with evil
I would have called forth the penal primeval.

If I had plundered him who without cause was my enemy
then I would have been the cause of a desperate destiny.

Then you would have been right to let my opponent overtake me
to trample my life into the ground, to make me eat dust to forsake my enmity.

Rise up in your anger
against their rancor.

Let the assembly of the people gather round you
to hear the decree of justice resound as true.

Act as the judge of nations
from the height of your station.

Judge me for the right intent
to live in accord with your righteousness.

Let the malice of wickedness end
to establish the mind and heart of a friend.

God is my shield and defense.
He is the Savior of true intent.

He is a righteous judge
who sits in judgment without a grudge.

My Lord is the God
who has prepared a way for me to beat the odds. 

Weapons have been prepared for defense
to preserve life from attack in the lethal or violent sense.

Look at those who labored with evil intent
to craft their lies for wickedness.

They dug a pit to make it deep.
You let them fall in it to heave and weep

You had their malice turn back on their own head
that their memory of violence may deter their action instead.

I will praise the name of the Most High.
This witness will serve what's right.

The agent for good news went west to edify those drafted.
He was imprisoned and executed as though for rebellion he had acted.

Punishment as a goal is misdirected.
Incentive corrects with benign intent.

It redirects behavior until corrected. 
Punishment is a substitute for retribution.
if the offender can't pay restitution
the punishment is a kind of substitution.

Punishment only points toward redemption.
Cruelty reinforces penal inclination.

Beneficial intention is removed 
to leave the punished used,
bruised, unmoved and unproved. 

Correction is the name of the game.
What will it take to get the offender to seek dutiful fame?

The path to citizenship is lined with the incentive of mutual benefit.
Observe law without judgment that is punitive, prejudiced or preemptive.

7 Domine, Deus meus
Dominated, my God

1 O Lord my God, I take refuge in you;
save and deliver me from all who pursue me;
2 Lest like a lion they tear me in pieces
and snatch me away with none to deliver me.
3 O Lord my God, if I have done these things:
if there is any wickedness in my hands,
4 If I have repaid my friend with evil,
or plundered him who without cause is my enemy;
5 Then let my enemy pursue and overtake me,
trample my life into the ground,
and lay my honor in the dust.
6 Stand up, O Lord, in your wrath;
rise up against the fury of my enemies.
7 Awake, O my God, decree justice;
let the assembly of the peoples gather round you.
8 Be seated on your lofty throne, O Most High;
O Lord, judge the nations.
9 Give judgment for me according to my
righteousness, O Lord,
and according to my innocence, O Most High.
10 Let the malice of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous;
for you test the mind and heart, O righteous God.
11 God is my shield and defense;
he is the savior of the true in heart.
12 God is a righteous judge;
God sits in judgment every day.
13 If they will not repent, God will whet his sword;
he will bend his bow and make it ready.
14 He has prepared his weapons of death;
he makes his arrows shafts of fire.
15 Look at those who are in labor with wickedness,
who conceive evil, and give birth to a lie.
16 They dig a pit and make it deep
and fall into the hole that they have made.
17 Their malice turns back upon their own head;
their violence falls on their own scalp.
18 I will bear witness that the Lord is righteous;
I will praise the Name of the Lord Most High.

The word that the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah in the fourth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah (605 BCE):

Thus you will say to him, 'Thus says the LORD: I am going to break down what I have built and pluck up what I have planted--that is the whole land...but I will give you your life as a prize of war in every place to which you may go.'

Paulus Orosius (375-418) was a priest and historian from the northwestern province of Gallaecia in Spain in the 4th and 5th centuries. He was a student of Augustine of Hippo (354-430).

A copy of his historical comment on the famine was made by Alfred the Great (847-899) in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles.

The Chronicle contains the following remarks:
      “A.D. 46 . In this year, Claudius, the second Roman emperor to invade Britain, put much of the island under his control and added the Orkneys to Rome’s kingdom. This took place in the fourth year of his rule. In this same year, a great famine in Syria took place which Luke mentions in his book, “The Acts of the Apostles.”

Acts 12:1-2

King Herod laid hands upon some who belonged to the church about the time that the famine predicted by Agabus took place during the reign of Claudius. He had James, the brother of John, killed with the sword.

James the Apostle
b.  c. 3 CE Bethsaida, Galilee
d.  c. 44 Jerusalem, Judea, Roman Empire

The apostle James was honored with a favored position by Jesus Christ, as one of three men in his inner circle. The others were James' brother John and Simon Peter.

James was older than John. Their father's name was Zebedee. Their mother's name was Salome.
James, his brother John, Peter and Andrew were all partners in a fishing business prior to being called by Christ Jesus to follow Him.  Zebedee was, also, a partner in the business.

James and John were apparently from a higher social level than the average fisherman. Their father could afford hired servants (Mk. 1:20). John, the "beloved disciple", had connections with the high priest (Jhn. 18:15).

Jesus nicknamed the two brothers "sons of thunder" (Mk. 3:17). Two incidents reported in the
Gospels indicated that they were headstrong, hot-tempered and impulsive.

Jesus and the disciples were refused the hospitality of a Samaritan village on one occasion (Lk. 9:54ff). James and John proposed to call down fire from heaven on the offenders.

They asked Jesus for a special place of honor in the Kingdom on another occasion (Matt. 20:20-23 = Mk. 10:35-41). They were told that the place of honor is designated by the Father.

They, together with Peter, were privileged to behold the Transfiguration (Matt. 17:1 = Mk. 9:2 = Lk. 9:28), to witness the healing of Peter's mother-in-law (Mk. 1:29), to see the raising of the daughter of Jairus (Mk. 5:37 = Lk. 8:51) and to be called aside to pray with Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane on the night before His death (Matt. 26:37 = Mk. 14:33).

James is believed to have made a pilgrimage to the Iberian Peninsula. He visited the Jewish colonist and slaves in Spain within a 14 year period after the crucifixion to proclaim the gospel.

He was the first of the 12 apostles to be martyred. He was killed with the sword by the order of King Herod Agrippa I of Judea, about 44, in a general persecution of the early church. (Acts 12)

Two other men named James appear in the New Testament. James, the son of Alphaeus, was another apostle. James, the brother of the Lord, was a leader in the Jerusalem church and author of the book of James. Bar-Zebedee is often called the "Greater" to distinguish him from the other two.

The remains, or relics, of James the Greater were transported by his followers to the Iberian Peninsula. They are said to be buried in Santiago de Compostela. St James the Greater is reverenced as the patron saint of Spain.

History
Josephus, Antiquities 20:1.3-2.5

"Herod, the brother of Agrippa who had perished, was allowed to govern over Chalcis. He asked Claudius Caesar for control over the temple along with the sacred treasury, and the ability to choose the high priests, and he was given all that he had asked for.

      "Around this time lived queen Helena of Adiabene, along with her son Izates. They both began to follow the Jewish way, turning away from their past lifestyle . . . Her arrival was of great help to the masses in Jerusalem; for there was a famine in the land that overtook them, and many people died of starvation.

      "When it became necessary to obtain food abroad, queen Helena sent some of her attendants, with money, to the city of Alexandria to purchase as much grain as possible. She also sent others to the island of Cyprus to bring back dried figs. This whole process happened very quickly, and as soon as they had returned, they handed the provisions out to those who were in dire need of them. Because of this, she left behind a legacy and was held in great respect by the people and the nation at large. And when her son Izates became aware of this famine, he sent a large gift to the leaders in Jerusalem."

Josephus
Philo of Alexandria

Riots erupted in Alexandria in 40 CE between Jews and Greeks. Jews were accused of not honoring the emperor. Disputes occurred also in the city of Jamnia (Yavne). Yavne is in central Israel. Jews were angered by the erection of a clay altar and destroyed it.

Caligula ordered the erection of a statue of himself in the Jewish Temple of Jerusalem. The governor of Syria, Publius Petronius, feared civil war if the order were carried out. He delayed implementing it for nearly a year. Agrippa finally convinced Caligula to reverse the order.

Gaius Caligula was assassinated in Rome on January 24, 41. The Jewish Nazarenes received a great influx of new worshippers in Antioch at this time.

A message was sent  to Jerusalem for help. Barnabus went to study the situation to make a report for the apostles.  There was a sudden need for a teacher who understood the Greek and Roman mind to guide the new believers.  Barnabus went to Tarsus and recruited Paul to come and help in this emerging ministry.

Barnabus and Paul worked together for a year (41-42). The name Christiani appeared to describe the Gentile followers of Jesus. The word was a mixture of Latin and Greek.

Peter met and baptized Cornelius in Caesaria. Cornelius was known as ‘a centurion of the cohort known as Italica.' (Acts 2) These were pious and God fearing Gentiles.

The conflict between Paul and the Nazarenes as to whether a Gentile who became a God-believer that accepted Jesus as messiah, could also become a ‘Israelite’ without embracing the complete tenets of Judaism arose after the baptism of Cornelius. Could he be a true Nazarene if he wasn't circumcised?

A Sabbatical is a 7 year cycle. The second Sabbatical Passover and Pentecost since the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus took place in 41. Events were rapidly unfolding in the lives of the followers of Jesus.  Persecution, trials and acts of providence had beset not only the Jewish messianic followers of Jesus but the Jewish people as a whole.

The report of the Gaius Caligula statue had announced  stark realities to Jews and the Jewish Nazarenes. The signs of the times depicted events when Jesus would return for his followers for the apocalyptic philosophy.

The call went out that the “End of Time’ was at hand. The radical fringe moved into high gear. The empire became inflamed with subversive activities among the disaffected. Underground financing for weapons and supplies for rebellion went into effect.

This Passover was to be a pivotal period in the Nazarean faith. The Apostles were called to Jerusalem for this momentous occasion.

The Sabbatical Passover was always a major event with pilgrims from all over the world.  James the Just, the leader of the congregation in Jerusalem was constantly praying for the safe travel of all his friends and brethren.  He would officiate at the Supreme Council of the Elders and the Apostles as the Nasi or the high priest of the Nazarenes.

John was the Spokesman. He was the deputy to James (Jacob) the Just. Simon Peter was the Ab-Beth Din or the general supervisor of all the ministries. He was busy in the preparations.

Andrew, the brother to Peter, Judas of James, the brother and disciples of James and Jesus was his brother’s helper were also residents of Jerusalem.  Matthew Levi was the attorney for the Nazarene and the political liaison to the Sadducee party.

Simon Zealotes still had not left the city and remained a good contact with various factions of the Zealots. Matthias who was selected by lots to fill the apostleship of Judas the Sicarii was also there.

James the Greater, the brother to John, was returning from the diaspora after six to seven years in his ministry in the country of Spain. Joseph of Arimathea returned from Avalon on the Isles of Britannia with his stories of the rapid acceptance of the message of Jesus to the Druidic high priests and the household of Argaviras of the royal family of the tribe of Siluria in Wales.  Joseph was to set up residence with Philip the evangelist in the port city of Caesarea.

Bartholomew returned to Jerusalem from the Imperial city of Rome. He brought a British convert from Rome with him. Clements met the other apostles and especially Simon Peter.   He detailed meeting Philip the evangelist, Joseph and the Bethany family prior to 36 in his book, Recognitions of
Clements.

Clements would be anointed as the third bishop of the ecclesia in Rome by the Apostle Peter 2 decades later. The Pharisee Saul returned from a three year spiritual retreat in the Nabotaean region of the Arabian desert. He was renamed Paul to acknowledge that he was a former enemy of the Nazarenes. He was to become one their greatest evangelists.

Herod Agrippa, grandson of Herod the Great, was tetrarch over Galilee. He had newly been proclaimed King of Judea, Samaria and Caesarea in 41 by Tiberius Claudius Caesar. He was wary of Jewish aspirations to overthrow the Roman rule.

The Herodians were looked upon  by the Nazarenes as a usurper to the throne of David. Each was known as a ‘friend of Caesar’  Agrippa was  scrupulous in the observance of the Jewish faith. He was known for his piety. This helped him to gain the support of the Sadducees and many Pharisees.

James had gone to Sardinia, then Spain to preach. It had been recorded by Tacitus that as early as 19 CE that 4000 youth which were “affected by the Jewish and Egyptian superstitions” (Annals, Vol. ii, c., 85) were banished from their homeland and forced to enlist as Roman soldiers and placed in Sardinia.

Josephus recognized the “4000” in his Antiquities of the Jews. (Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, bk., xviii, c. 3) This enlistment of Jewish youth was not popular with the Jews.

James was a former disciple of John the Baptist. He felt called to go to Sardinia and Spain to preach the "Way” as a disciple of the crucified Christ. This was a source of concern to Herod Agrippa .
It was felt that the initial “4000” were probably remnants of the disciples of the slain Hasmonean aspirant, Judas the Galilean. He had led the first major revolt under direct Roman rule in 6 CE. (Acts 5:37).

James the brother of John was captured and executed. The rest of the apostles were suddenly in fear for their lives. Their preaching was being perceived as a political action against Caesar. James became the first apostle to die for the “Way.”

Agrippa’s grip over the Nazarene ecclesia was not over.

Peter was next.  He was apprehended and imprisoned. Four soldiers were ordered to guard him. They were changed every three hours. The night before his trial, white clothed ‘angels’ were sent to rescue Peter. The efficient Jewish underground was at work.

While the Nazarean leadership was non-militant, their message had many sympathizers with the Zealots and members of the Fourth Philosophy. Some were capable of a daring rescue operation.
Peter stayed in the home of Mary, mother of John surnamed Mark, until he escaped town.

The next record of Peter is in Rome. He was visiting the Roman Senator Pudens, father-in-law to the Apostle Paul in his palatial estate in Viminal Hills in 44.  A date of 43 for the imprisonment of Peter would be reasonable allowing for travel time and other events in his life.

The death of James the Greater sent a message to the Apostles.  The hands-off policy to the Nazarean leadership was gone.  The death of any Apostle could be expected.

An insurrection by the Jews broke out in the province of Judea in 46 during the reign of Claudius. The Jacob and Simon uprising was instigated by two brothers. It lasted between 46–48. The revolt was concentrated in the Galilee. It began as a sporadic insurgency. It was put down by Roman authorities in 48. Both brothers were executed.
