Or saith whose word can never
fail, He that has made my heavens secure Will hear all good will
buy. While Christ is rich, can I be
poor? What can I want besides? O Lord, I cast my care on Thee,
I triumph and adore. Henceforth my great concern shall
be to Thee, O Lord." That's a good hymn. I must have all things
and abound while God is God to me. All right, go back to 1 John.
I enjoyed studying this, and I hope it comes out half as well
as it went in. Let's read verses 10 through
14 again. In this, the children of God
are manifest, are made evident, and the children of the devil,
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God. Neither he that
loveth not his brother. For this is the message that
he heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother.
And wherefore slew he him, because his own works were evil, and
his brother's righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the
world hate you. We know that we have passed from
death unto life because we love the brethren. that love is not
his brother by the end. The Lord had the apostle John
write a great deal about loving the brotherhood. This whole epistle
seems to be full of that subject that seems to be the general
subject doesn't it if you know this epistle why why is so much
reported about loving the brother. Look with me at 2nd Timothy chapter
3. 2nd Timothy 3. Now we should
not ask why, but I'll give you a reason why. 2nd Timothy 3 is
the description of the last days, that is the days immediately
preceding our Lord's return, and it calls those days perilous
times, verse 1. And the last day's perilous time
shall come and the first evidence. The very first evidence of the
last day. Of perilous times are there is
this first men shall be lovers of their own self. So. And if you look around. And have any discernment at all
you'll see. very clearly, how that there's
never been a generation so full of self-love than this one. This is what characterizes unbelievers. Well, two things characterize
unbelievers. Love for self and pride. They're really synonymous. They
really go together. If you love yourself, you're
proud of yourself. But what characterizes the child of God, what makes
the child of God different is they hate themselves. They're lovers of God. You can't do both. You can't
serve, no man can serve too much. When you begin to love God by
his grace and power you begin to hate yourself. And love of God or love of yeah
love of God love of Christ and humility these are the characteristics
of God's true people totally opposite of the word. And so this love of the brethren
is the result of this love for God. That's what he's going to
go on to say. We know we love God because we
love the bread. He's going to go on to say that
in chapter 4, I believe it is, and chapter 5. When God sheds abroad his love
in the heart, and he does it in all of his saints, every one
of his saints, when he puts his love for himself in there, that
is, love for God in there, He that loveth him that begat, loveth
him also that is begotten of him. They love the brethren. Now listen in context. He read
that with me. It said, talked about Cain, didn't
it? Killing his brother. It talked
about brethren, don't marvel, don't wonder if the world hate
you. Now in context. The world loves it's own. You
see people out there in the world that seem to be devoted fathers,
devoted husbands, devoted mothers, wives, devoted friends, right? You see people out there that
seem to love someone. Well, they love them that love
them. That's what our Lord said. He
loved them that love you. But even the world loves those
that love them the world loves their own friends those who are
like him to choose your friends that are most like the love the
world loves their especially loves family. You get the rottenness
like in the old gangster movie you know had all those Sicilian
and Italian mob families that would just slaughter anybody,
but boy, they love one another. Well, what I'm trying to say is even
the world loves its own, especially family, but now someone has truly
been born of God, born from above. Someone has truly been made a
partaker of the divine nature of Christ who loves God's people. as much as he loves his own family.
Now this is not idealistic, this is so. This is what makes people leave
their home and family to go where the gospel is and dwell with
God's people. That's real. It's love for the
brethren, preferring the brethren even over blood relations. That's
not natural. It's supernatural. And so this is in context here.
This is what he's talking about. Now, verse 11, he says this. This is the message you heard
from the beginning, that we should love one another. Christ said
this often, did he not? John got this from the Lord. He got this from the Lord. Verse
12. He says, Not as Cain, who was
of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why did he slay
him? Because his own works were evil
and his brother's righteous. He says, Not like Cain. Cain
denied being his brother's keeper, didn't he? Am I my brother's
keeper? Yes, you are. Yes, you are. But what was it that really divided
Cain and Abel? Why was there enmity? Not on
Abel's part. Abel wasn't Cain's enemy. But Cain had become his enemy
for Abel telling him the truth, standing up for the truth. Right?
Isn't that what divided even brothers? That's, I believe,
what Paul, well, When he talked about the Word of God piercing
the center, dividing the joints from the marrow, I believe that
has reference to the closest kin, blood relations, bone of
bone and flesh of flesh, the Word of God. When it really happens,
when the Word really enters in, it divides very Bone and marrow. The truth is
what divided Cain and Abel. Was it not religion? Works and
grace. Works and grace. The first murder
ever committed on planet Earth was over the truth. Now this proved who was a child
of God and who wasn't, who was not, didn't it? Both men, Cain
and Abel, came to worship God, did they not? Both of them came
to worship. They both claimed to believe the same God. They
both claimed to believe the same God. And they both came to worship,
and they both brought a sacrifice, knowing that you can't come to
God without bringing something. Sacrifice. Be accepted. Now, this is not my story, but
they were tossed by their father Adam and mother Eve what to bring,
weren't they? God told them plainly what to
bring. What? Blood. Blood alone. He didn't believe that. He thought
his way was better, and he brought what he had done. You know the
story. Well, anyway, to make a long
story short, they both brought something, and God absolutely
rejected Cain and his offering. You were accepted because of
your offering, right? He absolutely rejected Cain and
his offering because it was what Cain did. It was what Cain raised,
the fruit of the work of his hand. But he accepted Abel and his
offer. And what was that? Blood. A lamp. Abel didn't. God's the author of life. God
gave him that lamp. And he just gave back to God
what God gave him, what God already provided. Slew it, brought the
blood in the exact way that God prescribed to come, and God accepted
angel because of that bloody sacrifice. And Cain got furious. What's wrong with mine? I worked
hard on that. He highly esteemed what he did.
It was a denomination of God. It doesn't matter how sincere
Cain was. It doesn't matter how beautiful
his offering was. It doesn't matter. God rejected
it. Well, Abel, I'm sure, I'm certain
that Abel and Cain talked about this, aren't you? You know they
did. You know they did. You know if
Abel was a faithful believer and brother that he was, he loved
his brother Cain. Who's the child of God here?
It's the one that brought the blood and that loved his brother
Now isn't that the subject here well. And I'm sure Abel said
the king of the king. Why are you mad? You've heard
what our dad taught us and what God taught you. You bring the
blood. It's the only way to come. You
know God won't accept our works. It's salvation by grace through
the blood of God's Messiah who's to come someday and die on our
behalf. It's not by works of righteousness
which we've done to obtain. God's too holy. But God's going
to send this woman's feet. Mom told us this. The woman sees
and bruises his head and the bruise says, Brother Cain, you
know that. You know that. We both heard
the same message. I know it. I don't believe it. And Abel turned his back and Cain bashed his brain in. Now who's the child of God? It's not the one that, you know,
Cain talked a good talk for a while. I'm sure he did. I love you,
Brother Abel. You know he did. Cain was proud of himself. He
loved himself. He loved what he did for God. Abel, I'm certain of this, was
humble. He believed God. And Cain hated
his brother for Christ's sake. He hated his brother. How he
hated his brother is because of the sacrifice. He loved himself,
and he slew his brother. Now, this is the line in the
sand today. It started back then. The first
argument was over the truth. It was over works and grace.
There's only two religions in the world. Are you listening
to me? There's only two religions in the world. Works, what we
do. grace God provides, our beautiful
religion and what we do for God, for the bloody sacrifice of God's
Son. And we took it. You can call them
what you will. You can call them Episcopalianism
or Pentecostalism or Baptist or Methodist or whatever, Muslim,
Islam, Hindu, whatever it is, call it what you will. There's
only two religions. Works, what we do, that takes
in decision, that takes in faith, that takes in repentance, that
takes in morality, that takes in all of that, what we do. Or
grace, salvation 100% a gift from God Almighty and the greatest
gift, the chief gift being God's Son, freely given, righteousness
imputed, blood shed, paid 100%. There are no other religions. Islam's trying their best to
work their way to heaven. It's working. Hinduism, on and on you go. Hinduism's
trying not to come back as a cow or a bird. See, if you work real
hard, you won't come back as a fly or something. A man is plum ignorant if he
rejects the truth. You know, he's plum ignorant. Works are great. The truth is
over the truth. And this is the line in the sand.
It's still the line in the sand. This separates very blood relations.
Now look at verse 13. You see why he said this in the
context. Marvel not, my brethren, if the
world hate you. My brethren, if the world hate
you. Now ultimately, ultimately, this
is the way it is. It's got to be. Christ said it
would be. John said it here again. He reminds
us. Those who hate the truth, if
they're confronted with the truth, If they're confronted, if you
don't confront them with the truth, they're not going to hate you.
But if they're confronted with the truth, they're going to hate
you for believing it. Why? Because they hate God. Now that's, that's, they love
themselves and they hate God. There's no other, there's no
other way. Oh, but she's a sweet woman. Like Brother Scott said,
she may be sweet, she may be moral, she may be all of these
things, a good mother, a good sister, a good wife, or all that,
but she hates God. She loves herself. Oh, he's a
fine brother, he's a fine husband, he's a fine minister. He just
hates God, that's all. And our brother read back there
Psalm 139. They're speaking lies on you. David said, they're speaking
lies on you. They do speak against thee wickedly. And he said, I
hate them for it. Who do you love the most? That's
the lion and the sand. Who is on the Lord's side? The
lion and the sand. And this is how you know. You
love God or self. That's how you know. It's a lion drawn to the sand. If you tell a religious person,
listen to me, here's another acid test. You tell a religious
person, I don't care what their religion is, you tell them that
all their morality and all of their work that they've ever
done all their life accounts for nothing to God. I mean nothing. And you watch the vein pop out
in their neck. You tell a child of God, you
tell any believer, true believer, tell them, your works account
for nothing. Anything you have ever done or
ever will do, it's your reasonable service and you're still an unprofitable
service. They'll say, you're right. They
won't get mad at you. They'll smile at you. They're not going to hate you
for it. Because they love God. They love
his truth. And they love you for telling
it. They love the brethren, those that love the truth. This is
the brethren he's talking about. Isn't it? This is the brethren
he's talking about, believers, brethren in Christ, brethren
in Christ. All right, verse 14, he says,
we know we've passed from death unto life because we love the
brethren. The saints, talking about believers, lovers of the
truth, God's people, the world doesn't love the brethren. The
world has been killing God's people from the outset. It started
with Cain. You see the context here? This
is what this is all about. Number one. This is the primary
meaning of this. And this is why he brought up
Cain. This is why he said the world's going to hate you. But
we know we've passed from death unto life because we love those
that love God and love the truth. Because we love the truth. And we're family. The world doesn't. The world doesn't love believers.
They hate them, and they've been slaying them from the beginning.
They say that the Roman Colosseum over there, the dust in it is
from the bones of the martyrs. That's what they say, and there's
a great deal of truth to that. It was sport to the world for
Christians of his father's. Has the world changed? Has it
taken a different attitude toward God's people? No. Do you understand that throughout
this epistle. Religion is the principal thing
and spoken of. When the Lord. When the Lord
said over Matthew seven I believe that many will come before him
they'll come before him in that great day. And they talked about doing wonderful
works in his name. Jesus was wonderful. We've done
many wonderful works. A priest in your name. What did
he call them? Do you remember what he called
them? Workers of iniquity. Bind them hand and foot. Get
them out of my sight. These evil wicked people. Again, I quote that verse, that
which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination to God.
Why? Why? What is all religion about? All religion. Well, there's only
two. Now, one loves God and is zealous for God's glory, for
God's honor, for God's name, for God's son, for God's righteousness,
for God's gift, for God's grace, for God's mercy, for God's God. The other one, call it what you
will. It's self-love. And when the truth comes out,
it'll be known. It'll be clearly known. Who's
on the Lord's side? That is, who really loves God's
glory? They'll give it all to Him. No
question. No ifs, ands, or buts, is it? No ifs, ands, or buts. But over
here is full of buts. That's what ghosts like to do,
don't they? But, but, but, but. There's the difference. And the
sin, well... Look at chapter 2, go back to
chapter 2, look at verse 15. Throughout this epistle, this
is the predominant, this is what he's talking about, religion.
Verse 15, love not the world, neither the things that are in
the world. What does that mean? The world's ideas, the world's
opinions, the world's ways. Scripture says God so loved the
world that doesn't mean he loves every single person but it does
mean he loves a people out of the world out of every tribe
kindred nation and time not just Jews but of people at the whole
world of people but not every single individual. OK. But he tells us not to love the
world in the sense that the world's ideas opinions ways thoughts
Especially the world's religion and we've been studying exodus
and we've been studying exit. And he warns and warns and warns
and warns them that don't get involved with them. Don't worship
their gods. There's a difference. I've made
a difference when you and Egypt don't bow down to their gods.
Don't don't even acknowledge it to have one. You remember
that? Don't even acknowledge it to have one. And religion is the most evil
thing of all, in God's sight, it really is. Look at verses
18 and 19. Little children, it's the last
time, as you heard, that antichrists shall come. Even now there are
many antichrists. You see that? You see what he's
talking about? The world, Antichrist, it's the spirit of Antichrist
that pervades this world. The world is under the prince
of the power of the air, the rulers of the darkness of this
world. They're under his influence. And it's religion stuff, the
whole world's religion, especially the United States of America. And we're talking about love
of brethren. But I'm trying to keep this in
context, which sometimes we get out of context. I'm not out of
context here. Down in verse 29, he says, you
know, he's righteous. You know that everyone that doeth
righteousness is born of him. What's that talking about? Goodness,
morality, outward morality? Well, it's plain, it's very plain
that a man who's out, a drug addict and a child molester and
a rapist, any idiot knows that that man is not from God. Right? Any fool knows that an out-and-out,
immoral, wicked, openly wicked person is not of God. It's got
to be deeper than this. How do we do righteousness? How do you do righteousness?
John didn't he say our righteousness? Our what? Isaiah 64 says all
our righteousness are what? Filthy rags. Well then how do you do, how
do we do righteousness? Abraham believed God, and it
was counted for him righteousness. The Republican in the temple
pleaded for mercy according to the blood on the mercy seat,
and he was justified, counted righteous. That's doing righteousness,
believing God's Son. It's worshiping God. How do you
do righteousness? It's worshiping God according
to the pattern. Some of you recognize that it's
worshipping God. You see that you do all things
according to the pattern. And religion has never been further
from the pattern. I'm saying this with the utmost
conscience. I really am. That we're conducting
our worship service right here. Not just us, but every true church.
Conducting the worship service exactly the way the early church
did. under apostle Paul John James
exactly not one thing or one thing. Reading prayer singing
hymns preaching the word. Everything else is not in this
book baptism. Anything else is not in this
book. We're doing it according to that
and again remember worship has got to have two things it's got
to have order and direction. Everything you do is for one
end, one purpose, one direction. What's that? The glory of God. Honestly, that's why we're so
careful to sing the songs that you sing. You men, when it's
time to read, do you choose something five minutes before you come?
You probably sweat over it all week long. It's too serious. It's too serious. Well, all right. Now, read on. It says, verse 15, whoever hates
his brother is a murderer. You know that no murderer hath
eternal life abiding in him. Hereby we perceive the love of
God, because he laid down his life for us. Oh my, we've already considered
that, blessed thought, haven't we? How did Christ, oh my, the Lamb, behold the Lamb, our
Advocate, in appreciation for our sin, what manner of love
did the Father bestow upon us and not spare in His Son. Now
Christ, ultimately, paid the ultimate sacrifice didn't he
he paid it for it with his life. Did he did he did he love his
own. He sure did because greater love has no man than this and
he laid down his life he he died that we might live. There's no
doubt of his love. I'll tell you what he laid down
before he laid that down. He laid aside his glory. He who was equal to God, thought
it not robbery to be equal to God, took upon himself, made
himself of no reputation, took upon himself as a servant, and
got down and washed, thinking. Lowest of the low. He laid aside
his glory. Tell you what else he laid aside?
He laid aside his family. He left his family. Does he love
God? He sure does. How do you know?
He loved those that God loved. He left his father. He left a
heaven full of people that loved him and came to an earth that
hated him. And he had to make us love him. Yeah, he laid down his life,
but he laid down first his glory. He laid down his family. He laid
down his life. He considered not his own self,
but he laid down his life for us. And in the same way, he says
to us, verse 16, we ought to lay down our lives. In the same way, we're told to
lay aside whatever in favor of our brethren. Leave your family. Lay aside your own honor and
glory and reputation. Be a nobody to nothing with God's
people. Your life. Drop, drop, if it's
necessary, drop everything to help a brethren. That's right. But now, fact is, verse seventeen,
whoever hath this world's good, and seeth his brother hath need,
and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwells
the love of God in him? Well, it doesn't. Just a fact. So he said, my brethren, my little
children, He's got to talk to us as little children again,
because that's what we are. And I'm glad he does. I'm glad
he addresses us as little children. Aren't you? Little children need
direction. Little children need constant
chastening and correction and encouragement and reproof and
rebuke and exhortation. Little children. It's come so
short of maturity. So little children, he said,
let us not love in word, neither in tongue. That's what Pharisees
did. Let's do it in deed and in truth.
And I'm not speaking to you as if it's not here. It's evident
here. It really is. It's not. But every
one of us, starting with me, would admit we've got a long
way to go. A long way to go. That's why
we need it. Let's do it in deed and in truth.
That is an actual. Peter called it a fervent love,
active, active love. And verse 19, he says, And hereby
we know that we are of the truth and shall assure our hearts before
him. Read on. If our heart condemns
us, God is greater than our heart. He knows all things. I've often
in the past misconstrued that if my heart condemns me it's
OK. God God forgive me. That's not the context. That's
not what they say. If our heart condemn us. God
knows more than I do. About me. So there must be some
condemnation in order. See what he's saying? If I'm
condemned, if I'm convicted, God certainly knows me better
than I do, so there must be some conviction needed. That's what
he's saying. But he says now in verse 19,
Hereby we know we are of the truth and shall assure or persuade
our hearts before him. Verse 21, If our heart condemn
us not, then have we confidence toward God. Now he's not talking
about Salvation. All assurance of salvation based
on what Christ did, who Christ is and what he did. Here's what he's talking about,
love for the brethren. The Lord said to Peter, here's a good
illustration of this, all right? The Lord said to Peter. Now,
do you think Peter loved James and John and Andrew? There was a time when he didn't
much act like this. Boy, he said, they may leave
you, but not me. What a thing to say. Later on, he said, they
probably won't leave you. Well, this is what the Lord said,
Peter, when you're converted, when thou art converted, When
you come out of this juvenile state, this funk that
you're in, God brings you out. What does he say to do? When thou art converted, what
does he say to do? Strengthen the breath. When you're really converted,
when you come out of this self-funk, If we all get in it, self-pity,
self-love, self, self, self, self, self. I want to tell everybody,
including myself, that whenever we get to feeling like we work
too hard or we got problems and all that, and get down, we need to quit thinking about
ourselves. Nobody was ever lower than our Lord. Yet he didn't pity himself. Ever. You can always find someone
who has it much worse than you. Always. And you don't have to
look far. You can look even among your brethren, whose troubles
are greater. He said, Peter, when thou art
converted, strengthen your brethren. If you quit thinking about yourself,
you start thinking about your best friend. And all your troubles,
they won't be over, but you'll quit thinking about yourself.
They won't be as bad as they are now. The more you dwell on
them, the worse they are. And later, after the Lord arose,
what did He say? He said, Simon, son of Jonah,
love us thou may. Now listen, it's not just in
the context, do you love me, Simon? Did Peter have to stop and think,
well, I hope so, I don't act like it, no. Yay, Lord. You know I love you. What'd he tell him? I'd be telling him to prove
it. Feed my sheep. Feed my people. You know I love you, Simon, don't
you? How? I've done nothing to care for
you the way that I do to you. I've neglected myself in caring
for you. Peter, do you love me? Simon, do you love me? Yes, Lord,
you know all things. I sure do. Did he? Peter laid his life down for
the rest of us. From there on out. We've got a lot of young couples
in this church. And I want you to listen to me carefully. When
you buy a young couple, I mean those who have been married 25
years or less. All right? That's young. I don't
mean you don't have to be young in age, but young couples. Listen to me. Listen up. I wish
every member of this church was here right now. They're not.
You're here. Young couples, men especially,
you're the head of the house. You need to establish your homes
and your lives on the service of the brethren. Fellowship around the gospel. Everything you own and everything
you are and do, we ought to lay down our lives at the service
of the brethren. If you do, and I'm telling you
from experience, and I've witnessed it, and I'm talking about myself,
but if you do what you own and what you do and have and everything,
you freely give and use it for God's honor and glory and God's
people, not your family, but God's people who is your family. You stand back and you watch
God Almighty just pour blessings out upon you. It's so. You watch
Him bless your house. And I don't care if these false
prophets use these same things. I don't care. I'm not going to
qualify this. This is what He's saying right here. This is what
He's saying. Verse 22, look at it. Whatever
we ask, we receive of Him because we keep His commandments and
do those things that are pleasing to His side. Let me give you an example, and
you know exactly who I'm talking about without using their name.
There's an older couple of them in Kentucky who have literally
laid down their lives for the brethren and have given their
all, have literally entertained every saint that came anywhere
near their home. There's not a human being on
the planet that's more spiritually blessed, has more grace, more peace, more
joy. Boy, they've been through some
tough times. More peace, more comfort, more
consolation, more joy, but has less things. There's not a couple, not a person
on planet Earth that has more friends. There's nobody on Earth
that has more friends, more people that love them and care for them
and are concerned about them and call them and write them
and visit them and have them over and all that. God proves
this. You watch. Watch me bless you. Do what you do for my sake, for
my people. Open up your home. Are you listening
to me, young people? Open up your homes. Lay down
your life for the brethren. You just watch God Almighty bless
you spiritually and materially. You found your home. Men, you're
the head of the home. It's up to you to establish this. give this scripture said our
Lord said give. It shall be given to you. Press
down shaking together running over shall man give in here. Love and be loved. The friend. You have lots of. Forsake yourself. Our Lord said this whoever's
left father or mother or forsaken anything for my sake in the gospel,
Christ said, I'll repay it 100 fold in this life. He cannot
lie. He didn't say you wouldn't have
any trouble. That's what prophets are, false prophets say. You
won't have any trouble. All your troubles will be over.
He didn't say that at all, but he said he'd give you peace in
those troubles. And the blessings that you can't
put a premium on, it's what he blesses with. I hope somebody
heard that. Now, there's many that are good
examples in this, but my, my, we all need to go much further. This is his commandment, verse
23, that we should believe. Now, he says commandment, doesn't
it? Singular. But he gives two commandments.
Same thing. Same thing, isn't it? You love
God, you love God's people. Christ said, you do it for me.
Whatever you've done for them, you've done it for me. You do
something for my daughter, you've done it for me. Right? If I do
something for your son, Nancy, you don't need anything. You've got everything. But if
I am real good to your son, you would take that as letting me
do it for you. That's exactly what God said. Christ doesn't
need anything. You don't need anything. I'm
doing this for the Lord. I'm giving. No, do it through
the breath. They're his body on the earth.
And he says, this is his commandment, singular, that we should believe
in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another.
It's one and the same, as he gave those commandments. And
he that keepeth his commandments, latcheth hold on them, lays hold
on them, dwelleth in him. That's just the fact. By this, children of God are
manifested. And then with children of the devil, romantic. They
love God's people. They love the truth. How do you
know? They show it. They show it, not just in...
They don't say it. They do it in deed. And hereby
we know that He abides in us by the Spirit, Holy Spirit, which
He has given us, which does what? What does the Holy Spirit do?
It takes the things of Christ and shows them unto you. It teaches
you Christ, the truth, and you believe Christ. You trust Christ
100%. And over here in chapter 4, it
says, if we love one another, God dwells in us. And this is,
we know, we know because the Spirit he's given us. What's
that? Love. Love for his brethren. Love over
the world. Love over even flesh and blood. David said, I'm a companion. We choose our companions, and
we choose those that we love. David said, I'm a companion of
them that fear thee. That's who my friends are. Why
would I be a friend with somebody that hates my God? How could
I? Can't be. Can't walk together unless you
be good. That's how you know. I'm the
same. Don't marvel if the world hates
you. That person you thought loved
you, they don't. God's people do. Okay, stand with me. I've always found people who
have really, really strong beliefs in terms of how to support a business, a company,
to support an insurance company, a family, a friend, a co-worker,
a neighbor, a friend's daughter, a lawyer, a friend's husband,
a friend's wife, a friend's son, a friend's wife, a friend's son,
a friend's son, a friend's son, a friend's son, a friend's son,
a friend's son, a friend's son, a friend's son, a friend's son, a friend's son, a friend's
son, a friend's son, a friend's son, a friend's son, a friend's

you. All of you. I want that to be
the manifest. I am manifest. I am manifest.
