References to Philadelphia in the Works

 References to Philadelphia in the Works must be prefaced with Revelation  Ch. 3 where three churches are described, Sardia, Philadelphia and Laodicea. Philadelphia there is the sixth church of astonishments, the one to be spared the hour of temptation that shall come on all the world. We put it in the KJV only because it creates a barrier to consciousness put that way, for the barrier of understanding is much greater:

^7To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

⁸ I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

⁹ Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

¹⁰ Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

¹¹ Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

¹² Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

¹³ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Lest we have to take up all the churches together, which have preoccupied hundreds of thousands of expository minds, maybe if made to, but here are the references in the works: 

-A Translation of the New Philadelphia, facades of centaur, rhinocereus, the Arab Spring in the government taurobolium.

 -New Philadelphia implied the planet, hemisphere perhaps, which looks like the old in the eyes of those who settled there. We all discover what we already are. But whether moon or Mars, there were many colonies called cities. 

-These precursor notes that survived being  to cohere from notes unfolded, patched with arbitrary custom and further condensed in parts of words broken off, with other languages added, homonyms substituted for nouns in old century style abound in the waterways of New Philadelphia. Writers pretend to be editors so it may be this really is a translation even if from the English. Suffice it this part history, part mythology has a didactic end which figuring out is beyond the translator's effort. Commas and periods deviation from roundness are judged, if any, as comma. Exclamation are taken to the nearest of unequal size. Part truth and facts in ether, false geography, people, like ourselves between this world and the next used to say when the ships pulled in, Welcome to Philadelphia.

-Hierophantic landscapes in a history of new Philadelphia. The very thing we have been advised not to say, that all the facts are not known, and the case is obscure, which we puzzle and conject, where any one can either be the case or not  the case, and everything else remains the same, this which we should not say, we say, but in terms that do not show what we mean.

- later writing of the 21st century and indexes extensive ethnographic examinations of colonial Philadelphia.

-These children and their imprisonment, the confounding of the child, preoccupy imaginations and lead to a cultivation of a naive art, peasant if you like, rustic, primitive, but ironically that family had inhabited those regions of colonial Philadelphia of Pennsylvania Fathers and elsewhere pretty much from their founding, which of course we are at pains eventually to discover in the many extensive ethnographic examinations, so I was the opposite of displaced.

-A bridge to the stars. From Boston to Philadelphia and New York, a balcony around Saturn where onlookers play scrabble without reading the book. Blue Book say someone had a part of our body in common down there.

Philadelphia balsamic olive oil. Violet split gene hybrid children-cynthis.

The Ship Lists, English Public School movement, Ben Franklin, Schlatter are evidences of the prejudice, apprehension even paranoia that fueled the attempt to control the German population of Philadelphia.

I was reading, reconstructing the events of the open door from the church of Philadelphia on, first to the appearance of the elders, the living creatures and the throne and before it, then to the lament to open the scroll, then its opening, the 4 horsemen, the souls that were slain, the  6^th seal earthquake, the fall of the stars, flight of the great, the four angels, sealing of the tribes and then the Great Multitude of martyrs of saintly past crying out, to be told they must wait until the finished number of the great tribulation, then the 7^th seal, the Apophis of Ch. 8, loosing the key of the abyss, locusts, scorpions, lions and their king Ababddon Apollyon, then the 4 angels buried in the Euphrates and on to the Little Scroll which he ate and the angel said; there shall be time no longer 10.6—whereupon I let out an unexpected whoop, so loud in a minute Pat comes in asks if I’m OK, but by then I had put the Bible on the table and was sitting in the middle of that whoop and the picture which swallowed up it all. Praise, honor, glory, power and might to Him. Because to me time has been the great goal gael of the elite and the evil to wreak their ways, and they are about to lose it!
