(Psa 107:26 KJV) They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. (Psa 107:27 KJV) They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits end. (Psa 107:28 KJV) Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. (Psa 107:29 KJV) He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. (Psa 107:30 KJV) Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; God has all of the sercrets He knows what it is and where it is and how to get it! The Word of God is truly nothing more than a treasure map to the secrets of God's hidden things! (Isa 45:1 KJV) Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; (Isa 45:2 KJV) I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: (Isa 45:3 KJV) And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

I am the LORD, and there is none else. (Isa 45:7 KJV) I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
(Amos 3:7 KJV) Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. (Psa 25:14 KJV) The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. (Psa 25:15 KJV) Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. cowd, a session, i.e. company of persons (in close deliberation); by impl. intimacy, consultation, a secret:--assembly, counsel, inward, secret (counsel).

(Rev 2:14 KJV) But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. (Rev 2:15 KJV) So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. (Rev 2:16 KJV) Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. (Rev 2:17 KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
(Ezek 47:1 KJV) Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. (Ezek 47:2 KJV) Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. (Ezek 47:3 KJV) And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. (Ezek 47:4 KJV) Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. (Ezek 47:5 KJV) Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
