Thank you very much, Dr. Nicholas and my dear friends in Christ. It has been an unalloyed pleasure and delight to be with you these days. Dr. Nicholas and his staff, the faculty, Helen with the books and the volunteers, you have all been unremitting in your kindness, your hospitality, your generosity. Thank you so much for these days and all of you. It has been a particular pleasure for me to be associated with Dr. and Mrs. John Wickham in this conference. It is my considered opinion that there is not a man on this planet who knows creation truth as well as John Wickham, and who can communicate it so effectively and powerfully. Praise be to God. We've had privilege this week to sit at his feet. I like this L and Omega This is a very happy and felicitous symbiosis. If the enemies of the gospel of Christ can tear out the early pages of Genesis, then the last pages of the book of Revelation will also fall out. If you tear out Revelation, you've torn out Genesis. And we've got Paradise Lost and we've got Paradise Regained, to use John Milton's frame of reference. In this series, we're looking at the Book of Revelation in terms of some basic contrasts. Contrasts between Christ and the Antichrist. Israel and the Turks. The bride of Christ, pure. The heart, the whore. The false, religious, and ecclesiastical system of Gentile. Today we're looking at another contrast. There are others that could be chemists, to be sure. We've been looking today at a contrast between Baba Babylonian time, the constant expression of human defiance of God. Religious, commercial, political, social. Versus, in contrast with the New Jerusalem, the garden city of God. We saw this morning that the whole structure of human pretension and pride and arrogance and resistance to God will come under an awful, devastating judgment at the end time. And there is only a dirge to be sung as one views the smoldering rubble that is left Alas, alas, Babylon the Great is gone. No more music, no more commerce, no more amenities. Alas, it is only debris. It is only dust. Let's not go that way. The contrast. Revelation 21 and 22. Not the bone, but the guardianship of God. Let's go that These two chapters concluding both of the religion are in fact a real real estate description. A real estate description which would mean a lot to every believer. Because this is where we're going to be. Hallelujah. I can't read all the two chapters, but we're gonna start. All that we know about the beginning and all that we know about the consummation is what God told us. Nothing more. And this is what he tells us. My first revelation. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there was no more sea. And I just saw a holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven. prepared, and a bride adorned for her husband. Designed to be prepared, like a bride adorns herself for her husband. Prepared. And I heard her voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them." My friends, this is almost too much to read. It's almost more than we can grasp. In our puny minds, what does this say? He will dwell with them. And they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying. Neither shall there be any more pain, no more arthritis, bursitis, neuritis, no more migraine headaches, no more pain, for the four things are out of the way. And he, the son of Paul, throws a toll on all things new. And he said unto me, Write, these words are true and faithful. He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end. And I will give unto him that is the first of the fountain of the water of life, freely. He that o'ercometh shall inherit all things that I will be his God. He shall be my son, but fearful and unbelieving. and murderers, and funicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars. What are all of them? Shall have their heart in the lake which burns with fire in Brazil, which is sancta, and they came to one of the seven angels, who had seven bowls for the seven last days, and talked with me, saying, I will show thee the bride. The land lay. There we are. He carried me away in the spurt to Bade High Mountain, and showed me the great city, the whole Jerusalem, setting it on hand from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a stone, most precious, even like a chess piece, so clear, so crystal. And had a wall great and high, and tall gates at the gate, full of angels and names written on the gates, where the name of the author of the treasure is written. Here are the gates in C4 square verse 16. Its dimensions and measurements terrifically described. the building of the wall, and all of the jewels garnishing the foundations of the wall there here. I am I, verse 21, twelve gates are twelve pearls, each one the basis of one pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold as it were transparent glass. And I saw no temple in For the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb of the Temple are it. And see Him who needeth the sun, either of them move to shine it, for the glory of God did light, and the Lamb is the Lamb of it. And the missions of every sage shall walk and lead it, and the kings of the earth to bring their glory and honor into it. They should not be shut at all a day for they should be made there. They should bring the glory and honor of the nations into it, and there shall in no way turn to anything that be fast, either heath, work, or abomination, or make a lie. But they who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life, they should be a pure water. River of Water, my dearest vessel, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, lives the spirit of it. And the other side of the river is there the Tree of Life. There it is again, the Tree of Life. which bore twelve kinds of fruits, and yielded her fruiting, and leaves of the tree, were the healing of nations, and there shall be no more curse. But the throne of God, and the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him, and they shall see his face. His name shall be in our foreheads. And there shall be no night there, and there shall be no lamp near the sun, for the Lord God giveth light, and they shall reign forever and ever. After the third day and the seven years, the island nation will have three and a half years of time to take control. When a final pincer movement of all the nations gather against Jerusalem, in the beast's final born of effort to do what they all have ever tried to do, it was to destroy all the Jews. Book of Job. Zechariah 12. All nations gather in the midst of the sun. And then it is the Lord Jesus rises from the top of the land. Those who hear this, he has sent the church to the glory. and founds a great white horse with a number of ten thousand thousands of saints and angels. He descends to one of them as a sacrifice for he and the great earthquake. And then the guilt that I learned again. The beasts of all his armies are decisively defeated. And the dragon is imprisoned. and the beast and false prophets are cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, which burns forever and ever. The living nations are judged, and the Lord Jesus Christ set out a sign of a thousand years, and he rules. There are mortals living on earth. Sheep-naked out of the Jesper layers. They live in a cobra-gate. Jesus personally rules the city now on the throne of his father, Jacob. As it was promised in Luke, chapter 1, verse 32 and 33, to Mary, he shall sit on the throne of his father, David. Curse it, shrewdness and sin. The law of the foreman's eye is here too. And now, Lord Governor, the water comes to sea. For social injustice is rectified. Everyone listens to his own mind. Make thee, there is no poverty. There is no suffering. There is no injustice. Nature comes into dominion no longer. It is nation bred with food and cloth of the land that they tell of the land. It is a restoration of that which was lost in the fallen rebellion of humankind. This earth, a paradise, nor have they it. So I offspring of mortals, with all natures, at the end of my name, in a very bizarre divide, as Satan's loose woman of sin, fall after Satan. My friend, in each nature there is exclosure. of the depravity and significance of man, and the inadequacy and remedy are in the shed blood of Jesus Christ and the regenerative organism. Social doers have said, down through the centuries, eliminate poverty, give everybody an opportunity for education, feed up the We will have an ideal society. We can create and synthesize it. We are capable of it. Balderdash! Here is an ideal society. Here is an order. Here is Jesus Christ insulting visibly. There's no war. There's no violence. There's no juvenile delinquency. The swords have been eaten to powders. Spears into pruning hooks. But not withstanding that, a few people are willing to fall after Satan? No. It is demonstrated to all of the conscious intelligences of the universe that the gospel of the grace of God is, in fact, the only solution. And apart from the change brought by God himself in the miracle of the new birth, there is no positive prospect for humankind. This is demonstrated unquickly in the millennium, the final manifestation. and his followers on God's sake consigned on his altar to the lake of fire. The cleansing of the heavens and the earth shall be for free. Both the earth and the new heaven and the new earth shall be full of the preciousness of the old heavens and the earth have been besmirched. They have been stained. They have been tainted. Now they are cleansed, now they are purified, and the ritual is shut off. Now, the eternity future. I believe what is described here It is, in some instances, true, through a transition in my view, that this is the eternal order. For there is a temple in Jerusalem, Zechariah 48, but there is no temple in Jerusalem. I'm going to give you an interpretation. I have it in the book. A few copies, only that of the book. I do not hate you. I do not grieve over you. I beg you, pray for my love. John sees the new Jerusalem, the holy city, descending down like a bride for ever. I do not believe it is the last planet Earth. Earth, this infinitesimal planet, will forever be in a symbiotic relationship with the new Jerusalem. Equally so, the new Earth stays home for those from our forefathers. And Israel is Israel, and Jerusalem, the Jerusalem on earth, I mean, the legislative forefront of the universe, is Jerusalem. Like a gigantic space module, there is a change in the location of heaven. The third heaven is that old town at Pleiades, heavens of Pleiades. Is that old town of Pleiades for you? Then I go over there up Pleiades Street, heavens of Pleiades. God's work is unusual, but his presence is particularly manifest in various places, but especially in heaven. And there, at his right hand, this very moment, is the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, even when he was taken to the desert before us. And Stephen is solemnly cross. Step him up. Step him up. In him, this is the beginning of the resurrection of Stephen, and the beginning of his martyrdom. That's where the body of Jesus is. This very moment. In heaven. That's where our loved ones are. The city of God, the garden city of God, will come down from heaven, and like a great chandelier will luminously exist in relation to what's sitting and separate from the earth. Earth is the birthplace of people and nations, Jerusalem's capital. In this Jerusalem, the gods speak of God, for the church, which declares God, heavenly spirit, will be the God. The preparation of the fire, as I have foretold it, who taught this was George M. H. Peters, who wrote three great volumes on the Olympic Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I think beyond doubt, Pyrrhus is the second and coming half of the existing future for Israel, and our union begins the third by legendary. This is to you, The Plum Village Church, J. G. Belay, V. L. I. T., where much has been dedicated to the name of the Plymouth River, is especially proud of her for her deep and significant teachings of Bible prophecy. This I first heard from Dr. Louis Talbot, President of Bella. Talbot told us that the new heaven and the new earth With the assistance and evidence in the twenty-first chapter, verses seventy-four, have I argued that in the gates of the twelve gates of Garden City of God, open day and night, was an enormous, very strong force between the new earth and the new heaven. There is mutual access But God, as is probably the case in the Bible, as the Bible says, begins from Mark chapter 4, that the nation of them who are saved shall walk in the light of the new covenant, in the light of the new covenant. Because God and the Lamb are the light of the city of God. and the kings of the earth to bring their glory and honor into it. Now, if the king of the earth's in a new order where God makes all things new, if the king of the earth lived in Jerusalem, why would they bring their glory and honor into it? They don't live there. They were Those who respond to me and they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into debt. So, it is in behalf of Seneca, Bluer, Cairns, Jerusalem's capital, that I propose an invitation for the Jerusalem which is above. New Jerusalem. The vicinity of God. God fills it. God dwells in it. The light of God illuminates it as the meet of sun, moon, and stars now. The glory of God is expressed and demonstrated in it. And by the grace of God, every blood-bought sinner will take residence in that place. Residence Hall. It's been a nine-week exchange of residence after 26 years. On the North Shore of Chicago. If it's a little ordinary summer of 08, We are moving into a retirement community. Where are you all? Sleep. Much sleep. For the brightest. The stairs up and the stairs down to the basement. She can't let me walk. Where are we going to go? It is an adventure that persists. It is a unique experience. Men are just strangers in the middle of the sun. And we lay our heads in the foreign land where the work of the day is done. What will be our job this time? What will be a secure residence? That is a perplexity which plagues us human beings again and again and again. But perhaps But I'm a great believer in God and I'm more than one hundred percent sure now. There's a soul that's overdue by the day of the voting. I'm more than happy for I'm going to live a thousand years from now. A billion years from now. I'm not afraid of where I'm going to live. Praise be to God. I'm a little sickle. I'm going to worship my Lord Jesus Christ. I thank God that I'm going to have a new body. to the condition, to make possible, conversely, the new earth and the new heaven. This is very rare upon that sphere. This old quasi-corpse will not be able to do it. It's hardly been able to for here and now. Do you know what I'm saying? Look at it, people. When we see Jesus in the meeting in the air, we're going to get to my place. Praise be to God. We wish you a good life and we wish to see you every day of this. This is an old temple of clay. This is a wonderful temple. The yield of a new resurrection body. Praise be to God. Always pray. I have had some of you old people die in disease. Macrobleeding, and I am losing the sight of my eyes. I have had a major crisis in the last six weeks. I have virtually lost the sight of my left eye. Food, licorice sugary, and a number of opossi. I am unable to do the job because this condition has been basically irreversible. I have a colleague who has a debilitating migraine headache six times a week. and has lived with it for 40 years. Some of you in this room are self-carried, deep physical anguish and pain of which many have no knowledge. And if you're healthy today, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b This is his weakness. This is his frailty. Murdering an innocent body is an act of God. No God exists. This is an act of witchcraft. The name of that witch was the first one I wanted to teach Jesus. I thought I loved my Jesus. I was 16 years old at the time. Following the Lord in all of his acts was what I was supposed to say. I never failed in the knowledge he gave me. I never ever cheated on him. I never heard an honorable voice. I have not seen, nor have I not heard, nor have I demanded of the heart of my man, but the Lord has prepared me for the testimony. It is said that in the dust of the mirror, in the midst of the gloom of grief, there are those who are bereft of the suffering that is present, and are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed. It is thus. Praise be to God. And we receive our outpouring of the Spirit of the Word of God, who has given me life on this day and time. And we receive our outpouring of the Spirit of the Word of God, who has given me life on this day and time. We've all lost it in our family. Gloria. We have all been murdered. But we've still got the body to catch the loot. But what happened to the evil woman? Gloria, how did this happen? Oh, my sweet child, have not I belittled you? For the love of goodness, I want you to sit here and talk to me. I want you to sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me. Sit here and talk to me I'm unsatisfied with the text. If you would like to condense that segment below, it will be a lot quicker to decrease your stage. That's just something that I remembered in the middle of the broadcast today. It's good to be free. It's adorable to sit by the TV. I love you. What an absolutely marvellous passage. Oh, the poet did just as well. Five years of exclusion. Prepared for us. For those who are listening. For the blind landlady who belonged to him. What a learning experience. Oh, how I will learn. I'm going to go to the library and I'm going to get me some of those CDs. I too, Dr. Quicken, was a seed in the living power of those animals coming into the ark and out of the ark. Let us sit together and watch. Take it all. I'm going to share it, so don't particulate. Then shall we know, even as of now, who we are." Pray take a moment. This is for those whose names are certain to last a lifetime. This is a city as it is here described. You think this is really a liberal? I think this is liberal. This is how it looks to me. to the degree that language can communicate. I'll be going to the beach. No, not a mammal. Never, nor will I be a member of the devil. There's a one-street. Did you understand what I'm about to do? Or to whom? In a minute, above the street. Not a minute. There's one street. But, there is no good at rest, if you can concentrate on what you have at rest. I have lived in the wrong society for as much as the rest of my life. But, no more will you remember. It is in the wrong society that the facts seem to be so. I had a lady in the church at Los Angeles many, many years ago, and a little office on the blue boulevard. She earned an excellent return. serving hundreds of thousands of people who wanted a Hollywood Boulevard address. So all she did was receive mail addressing the Hollywood Boulevard, the person identified, and send it on their mail. They wanted a good address, an impressive address. But what's bad about it? What's so good about this? But, folks, this is what I have to do, and we will all live under the same avenue. Praise God. And in the midst of treating life for the healing and the peace, those nations on earth coming out of the millennium have had such scars Psychic. Emotional. And there will be provision for the healing of the nations. No more curse. Don't you know that? No more curse. My brethren, this is, this is not some religion you know. This is what this is about. Can we handle a little bit of grief down here? In the face of what the Lord has prepared for us? And his servants, just as are serving him. For most will not remember it anymore. This is going to go on and on and on. This everlasting life is the quality of life. Perpetuated into infinity. My little baby brain cannot grasp eternal life. In a little duration of time. They say that in the north of land there is the big mountain. It is a hundred miles wide, a hundred miles long. It is of a accessibility of a high PPI. It is accessible. It is borrowable. It is accessible in any man's property. Every one million years, are you sitting on the mat? Or is your great master sitting as someone is? It's only been a thousand years since Jesus was here. Every one million years, there's a little bird, I am told, which flies to this mountain by one hundred and seventy-five, and it lands on the peaks of a mountain, and it's a squeak, squeak, with its beak up the mountain, and it flies away, not to return for another one million years. Now when that great massive piece of marble, one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by one hundred by Oh, this seems to take a long time. Where are you going to be all that time, my friend? If you're a prisoner, you can know where you're going to be. You may not have wrote the prisoner's address on the manor avenue. You may not know the exact job or description of his servants or servants, but I just have a feeling he's hunched. that the Lord is going to tell me, David, that you are not at all. You have a lot of privilege, we'll arrange it. We'll have a gospel meeting along with my team and take the sounds of Shasta along, and sustain you out that way. There are created intelligences, and you're going to have a gospel meeting out there. There's going to be a cessation of all public invitation. But many believers, saved by the love of Jesus, in whom the Holy Spirit has dwelt, will be a matter of unintended curiosity, for the Creator did tell us that this is the new universe, and just as He prepared it, many come up and say, Hey, you mean to tell me you really are one of those earthlings? For from whom Jesus Christ, the Son of God, shed his precious blood? Come on! And then I'll also say praises of God. Yes. And I did that a few million times. If His servants will serve Him, those who serve Him, would there be anything better than to serve Him? To glorify Him? To worship Him? to praise him forever and ever and ever. I am an antediluvian. The disturber of performers knows security. I don't care what your stock portfolio is. The last couple of months should have given you a second thought. We're going to have to be dependent entirely on the ethical condition of the Dadao. We're secure. We're set up. We're safe. We're with Jesus. And my friends, if you don't have the assurance that you belong to Jesus Christ, and you're persisting on the cross, you can learn how to disobey. You can learn how to disobey. So, now, Because this is where God wants you to be. But notice what this text says. This is for those who belong to Christ, whose sins have been washed away. It is so. I am a great sinner, but I have a great Savior, John the Blessed. And this great book of Bible concludes by the living Christ saying three times, I come unto you, I am coming quickly, and no notice In verse 16, after the Lord's Church has not been performed since chapter 3, 22-16, the Dutch Church has. And verse 17, and the Spirit of the Bride is said to come. Israel has had its mission during the tribulation, but the Church has its mission in cooperation with the Spirit. And I'm another that's truly the judge of the spirit. Does the spirit and the bride say come? And let the hymn of Jesus the first come. And whoever will, let that hymn take the water of life. Forgive me. Come. God wants you. Oh look, that's me. It is the most amazing, the most astonishing, the most extraordinary fact in the universe. John 17-24, Jesus said to his own, I want you to be with me. Why would he want us to be with him? I don't get it. I'll never understand it. He wants us to be with him. to be with him. If he saved me from the pit and the flames, that would be far more of a grace than I deserve. But he promised to be with him, that they may see my glory. My friends, these eyes are perceiving the glory. And your eyes perceive the glory. When will we be ready? Forever. He loves us. He wants us to be strong. To the last page of the Holy Writ, the intimidation is given. Share with us. All that we feel, not only intellectually, but as a fact. And the whole of Soto will be laid to sleep tonight. Let there be one of us. And if we can come to him. And if we can know about the unshackled about. This will be our residence forever. This will be our home. This will be part of our society. Many years ago, there was a rascal boy. It was a warm summer afternoon. He would leave the kitchen at the end of the month. And after a few days, he would leave the room of the drawer in his mother's kitchen. This is the frustration of development. He said, Mama, what is this? She said, this is a cavity chopper. I said, what are you doing with a cavity chopper? She said, a cavity chopper. Uh-oh. The lady turned her back. He slipped the cavity chopper in his pocket. He went out alone into the outdoors on a Sunday early afternoon, and cast his eyes upon the east above. Not much was happening, but he did his time. He looked at the white framing houses in which he had had been raised, and looked at the mirroring of the white wooden corners of the locks on the corners of the house. And in a deep reprieve, the sequester didn't take him in time. I wonder if he's having his choppers chop up a white wooden cornice block. He's so supple he didn't give him a moment. I'm not an opportunist to leave him from his pocket. And maybe I am, but I might not. Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop! I'm the beloved baby white wooden cornice block. I'll chop him up. Indeed, at an age of poverty, shop-hopping wouldn't cause us to boast of all stuff. Shop, shop, shop, shop, shop, if you were having a charmingly good time. When suddenly he became aware of an unexpected present. This is Father Henk, a member of the Wednesday Afternoon, and instead of a young man, just what do you think you are doing? To answer, I am talking to a cabbage-eater who would not have sufficed. A rascal boy was taking him to the study. And then there, even before he began to hurt, did you remember? Remember that from the moment I found out what it was? Many years ago, we'd been all over the post. But it was just us. And even after three or four years, it was over. And since I can't remember that story, Phoenix sat down and said hello to the dude. That was awful. I hated that. I thought we were going to over. Let's go and find my family. Even if we have to pay a funeral, I didn't want to do it. He walked off slowly down into the sunlight. He looked around, but nothing was there. He saw his father down at the end of the garden. His father was standing in the garden. It was a very bleak and a very desolate moment for a fifteen-year-old little boy. He slowly snorted down to the end of the yard, where his father was staying in the garden. His father didn't turn around. His father said, Uh-oh. It did that. I'm almost home. Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh He offended him. The boy did not receive him. None of us. He appears in his strong father's eyes before. But he is not the first. Streaming down in the midst of his dad. And his dad said, David, I'm no lonesome cuckoo. I'm no lonesome. I love you. That made a very deep impression on a ten-year-old boy. My friends, we have failed our humanity father. We have fumbled the ball again and again. We are afraid of life, people. Everybody loves us. But at night, he loves us. God loves us in Christ. I don't believe this, dear friend. And he wants to humble us. He was asked to be with him for forever. When his body is molded in the dust, or if cracks are formed, translating the instructions on the wall of the body across, to live with him forever. in the city he is expelled. The city is iniquity to all of us. We must validate the city. The city where he is is of the light. The city in which the glory is seen. Will you be there? Go, go, Alabama! Are you sure? So sorry.
