Therefore they will be like the cloud, And like the dew that passes away, Like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, And like the smoke out of the chimney.
Every man is become brutish and is without knowledge; every goldsmith is disapointed by his engraved image; for his moltten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15）それは、むなしいもの、物笑いの種だ。刑罰の時に、それらは滅びる。

Knowing this fact, and not blaming him, I went out to the club with him, his male lover, myself and my friend (this person is also the actress who played Willow in "Buffy the Vanpire Slayer").
However, there were not enough tall glasses on the glass shelves, and when I returned to my seat to tell them about it, no one was sitting there anymore.
However, the atmosphere was quite different from the hustle and bustle of the club, and even though we were in the club, and even though we were in the club, only the space we were in enveloped in what we call "deep sorrow".
そして、私はその夢から覚めました。
Then I woke up from my dream.
ここで注目したいのは、夢に登場した二人の俳優が現実世界で演じたルシファーとウイローについてです。
I would like to focus here on Lucifer and Willow, played in the real world by the two actors who appeared in the dream.
ルシファーは魅力的でカリスマ性があり、人を欺く事に長けています。
Lucifer is charming, charismatic, and skilled at deception.

For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, the LORD of Hosts , in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.

The term "sift" in the Bible is often used as a metaphor for the process of testing, separating, and purifying. It appears in contexts that refer to examining and proving the authenticity and strength of one's faith or character. The image of sift comes from the agricultural practice of sifting grain to separate out the chaff and impurities.
The biblical concept of "shaking" is an important theme throughout the Bible, symbolizing God's intervention, judgment, and the establishment of His kingdom, and is associated with His power to purify His people and bring about His sovereign purposes.

The said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as and took an oath of them, that should do according to this promise.
Also I shook my lap, and said, so God shake out of every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregaion said, amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.

And having departed from there he came to the house of a certain one named Titus Justus, worshiping God, of whom the house was adjoining the synagogue.
Crispus now, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all the household of him. And many of the Corinhians hearing, believed and were baptised.
