it is fulfilled. They remained with him the rest of that day; then they went to their
                   homes in Bethsaida.

                               Seven Apostles Called Quintessence of Ezekiel 9:1-11;


                   The Voice of the Lord said come near oh you avengers. Behold from the north six
                   men girded in girdles of sapphire came by the way of the upper north gate and
                   every man had destroying weapons.


                   There was a man in the midst of them clothed in linen and the six men were
                   girded in girdles of sapphire. They came and stood at the altar of God.

                   The Word of the Lord stood on the cornerstone of the altar and was raised up
                   above the altar. He spoke to the man clothed in linen. He said to him go through
                   Jerusalem place a mark upon their foreheads; those men who sigh and who are
                   tormented on account of abominations and evil things done in the midst of
                   Jerusalem place the mark upon their foreheads.

                   He then said to the six men girded in girdles of sapphire and destroying
                   weapons. Go after him through the city and destroy. Let not your eyes neither
                   spare nor have pity. Slay utterly old and young; both virgins and women; little
                   children. Do not touch any man who has received the mark.  Begin at the Temple
                   my sanctuary.
                   Then he said the iniquities of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is
                   filled with blood of the poor and the city full of treachery.  They said the Lord has
                   forsaken the earth and the LORD does not see us. I will have no mercy upon
                   them nor will I have pity. I will recompense their evil ways upon their head. The
                   man clothed in linen answered. I have done as thou hast commanded me.


                                                   The 7 Angels Called

                   Peter, Andrew, James, John, Phillip, Nathaniel, Matthew
                   The next day while he walked along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Peter
                   and Andrew throwing their nets into the sea; they were fishermen. Jesus said to
                   them come after me and I will make you fishers of men. Straightway they pulled
                   in their nests and rowed to shore. Jesus walked a little farther along the shore
                   and saw two other brothers James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, in a
                   ship with Zebedee their father, repairing their nets.

                   Jesus called them. They straightway left the ship and their father and followed
                   him. As he walked a little further, the multitudes were gathering to him and
                   followed him, when he saw Matthew son of Alpheus a public setting at the receipt
                   of custom. He said to Matthew, follow me. He promptly rose up and followed
                   Jesus.
