My Kingdom is Not of This World (John 18:36) | Bold Red, Yellow & Black Textured Design with Icon Motifs | Orthodox Christian Long Sleeve ShirtAnd now behold the king whom ye have chosen; and behold, the Lord has set a king over you. If ye should fear the Lord, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not resist the mouth of the Lord, and ye and your king that reigns over you should follow the Lord, [it is] well. But if ye should not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and ye should resist the mouth of the Lord, then [with wrath] shall the hand of the Lord be upon you and upon your king. 1

From the Psalter According to the Seventy:

” and toward the end it says

<< The hand of the Lord was upon me

and he healed them of their wounds

The hymn to the Bridegroom sung at every Bridegroom Matins during Holy Week* likens sleep to lack of sobriety

I will create new heavens and a new earth

Who is this King of Glory

and the Word is holy

and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath

Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters

Matte finish

from the bands of sin
