155:1.1 Said [[Jesus]]: " You should all recall how the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Psalms Psalmist] spoke of these times, saying, `Why do the heathen [[rage]] and the peoples plot in vain? The [[kings]] of the [[earth]] set themselves, and the rulers of the people take [[counsel]] together, against the Lord and against his [[anointed]], saying, Let us break the bonds of [[mercy]] asunder and let us cast away the cords of [[love]].'[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Psalms#Psalm_2]

155:1.2 " Today you see this [[fulfilled]] before your eyes.

155:1.3 [[Jesus]] continued to [[teach]] the twenty-four, saying: " The [[heathen]] are not without excuse when they [[rage]] at us. Because their [[outlook]] is small and narrow, they are able to [[concentrate]] their [[energies]] [[enthusiastically]]. Their goal is near and more or less [[visible]]; wherefore do they strive with [[valiant]] and [[effective]] [[execution]]. You who have professed entrance into [[the kingdom]] of heaven are altogether too vacillating and indefinite in your teaching [[conduct]]. The [[heathen]] strike directly for their objectives; you are [[guilty]] of too much chronic yearning. If you [[desire]] to enter [[the kingdom]], why do you not take it by [[spiritual]] [[assault]] even as the [[heathen]] take a [[city]] they lay [[siege]] to? You are hardly [[worthy]] of [[the kingdom]] when your [[service]] consists so largely in an [[attitude]] of [[regretting]] the [[past]], whining over the [[present]], and vainly [[hoping]] for the [[future]]. Why do the [[heathen]] [[rage]]? Because they know not the [[truth]]. Why do you languish in futile yearning? Because you [[obey]] not the [[truth]]. Cease your useless yearning and go forth [[bravely]] doing that which concerns the [[establishment]] of [[the kingdom]].

155:1.4 " In all that you do, become not one-sided and overspecialized. The [[Pharisees]] who seek our [[Death|destruction]] verily think they are doing [[God]]'s [[service]]. They have become so narrowed by [[tradition]] that they are blinded by [[prejudice]] and hardened by [[fear]]. Consider the [[Greeks]], who have a [[science]] without [[religion]], while the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] have a [[religion]] without [[science]]. And when men become thus misled into [[accepting]] a narrow and [[confused]] disintegration of [[truth]], their only [[hope]] of [[salvation]] is to become [[truth]]-[[co-ordinated]]—[[converted]].
