 ways in which our Lord Jesus Christ spoke of the judgment of those who lived on earth a life of selfish enjoyment without thought for others. See especially Matthew 25:31-46 and Luke 12:13-21 and 16:19-31.
2. Study Hebrews 11 as showing that true faith means an attitude opposite to that shown in these verses, a willingness for God's sake to give up a life of ease and enjoyment, and a readiness to suffer for Him and for His people.
Notes. 1. There are a number of different ways in which verse 2 has been understood. Some have understood that these cities, Calneh and Hamath and Gath, had fallen and Israel was called to see this, and to realise that there was no reason why Samaria would not fall also. But then it would be necessary to take it, as the New English Bible (and some other translations similarly), 'Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is your territory greater than theirs?' But this brings a change into what was written, and also it is not certain that the three cities had fallen in the days of Amos. Another way of taking it is to understand that the prophet was saying to the people of Samaria that their land was better and greater than these others, and so their failure was more serious in God's sight. But it may be right, rather, as we have done above, to understand the words of the verse as the boast of the leaders in Samaria that their land was better and bigger than these others.
2. When verse 3 speaks of their putting 'far away the evil day', the reference then to their bringing 'near the seat of violence' may mean that they were bringing on themselves the violent judgment of God. On the other hand it may be that it means that by their failure to uphold justice they were causing violence to increase in the land. So Phillips translates, 'You put off the day of reckoning, yet bring ever nearer the days of misrule'. The Jerusalem Bible has, 'you hasten the reign of violence'.Old Town

Pigeons work the damp setts
of this high-windowed street,
patient, deliberate. Closes fall away
from its fishbone spine, swallow
daylight down their narrow throats.
Women trot on pattens, gather
their skirts, loup over puddles.
Fleeing the wire-sting of rain
they stand under eaves to barter
their bright beads of news.
A boy kicks a stone along the stank.
In a grassy court the sun strikes
a harled wall: ochre, red of ox-gall,
ox-blood, the warm reek of a flesher’s
slab under the pend’s broad arch.
The moon climbs a stair, perches
on a turret; shadows walk on stilts.
Men in wigs call for sedan chairs, black
gowns worm-worn to the silk-and-paper
thinness of a moth’s wing.
Chimney smoke’s ripped by the wind;
in a doorway a man sleeps on straw,
hears in his ale-dream the far-off pitch
of fife and drum, bell-chimes and
the salt-sharp cries of gulls and crows.

Creating an Association has only one requirement: To have passed Maiden 3-2.
To join an association, simply ‘Search’ by Association ID, by ‘Hot’ Association list, find an association you like and ‘Apply’. The number of association is very low compared to the number of players so it can take a while before an association accepts your application. Just keep applying until an association accepts your application!
I decided to join an association rather than create one:) just because when it first started I joined an association and now I don’t feel like starting my own!
Once you’re accepted in an Association or you’ve created your own, you’ll be able to see: Members, Commission, Association Store, Bulletin, and Library.
Activeness: Each week you’re ranked based on how active you are in the Association. There are a few Free things that can be done everyday (more on that below) that benefit you and increase your activeness rank, which ultimately increases the Association’s growth and Rank.
Association Coins: You’ll only be able to buy items and benefits by using Association Coins, which are obtained by doing various activities in the Association.
Leaving Association: If for any reason you decide to leave the association you’re in, you’ll have to wait 24 hours before being able to apply to another association. You will be able to keep any benefits bought and Association Coins.
Allows you to see other members in your Association. Here, you can see each member’s activeness level of the week, this is reset every Monday.
Here you can chat with other members of the Association.
In the Library you can exchange Association Coins for some awesome benefits, ‘Sort Materials. and ‘Donate Book’.
You can ‘Donate book’ up to 3 times every day. Donating a book costs 88 Diamonds, you obtain 18 Association Coins, and 3 Activeness points each time.
These are some awesome benefits that are applicable in normal story mode. Each book gives you different advantages, and as your Association grows you’ll be able to ‘Continue Reading’ and increase your benefits.
So for example if you ‘read’ Star Seer, every time you play stages in ‘Start Journey’ your gold will increase by x%!
You have 5 free attempts every day.
You can buy 5 extra attempts for 25 Diamonds per attempt.
There are currently two Acts in the Commission, I believe more will be added later. Each act has 7 stages. You’ll need to have a progress of 100% to complete one stage and move on to the next. Your score contributes to the % you contribute to the stage. To be able to move to the next stages faster, each member needs to contribute.
Once you’ve completed a stage, you’ll obtain some items that can be exchanged in the ‘Workshop’.
