Both the evil servants in charge of their flocks of Christians and the lazy servants in the pews will be judges to a place of \"weeping and gnashing of teeth\" (Matt. 24:51, 25:30 ). Speakers of English have not the faintest idea of what this phrase might entail. At best, some will weep bitterly while others gnash their teeth somewhat under the influence of outside, nighttime cold. Beware what this phrase might also mean.... The Russian language has an unusually nasty plan for dealing with tooth decay with \"a mouthful of cavities and abscesses\". Without modern dentistry, they would quit trying to save their teeth with cashews because spreading pus all around their mouths had become futile and fast around the clock. If they started to starve, they would gnash their teeth ***to bits and pieces*** and again be able to drink milk and eat pureed foods. If they had even one gene for Russian innate crying, once they got enough calcium phosphate in them, a third set of teeth would grow. This third set is not a good set of teeth. It contains forty (40. ) teeth of far different sizes and shapes than the second set which was replaced. You cannot bite into an apple or a pear or a sandwich with the third set; apples and pears must be cored and sandwiches must be cut up into four, six, eight or twelve pieces because the incisors of the third set are small and week. The third set of teeth offers enormous bicuspids (side teeth) good for carrots, celery, whole walnuts, and crushing bones to extract the marrow. Worst of all, it demands an extremely large and incredibly ugly jaw so heavy as to make psalmists lament, \"Lift up my head\"-- a Hebrew idiom derived from people with the third set of teeth which came to mean \"restore my former condition\". Contrary to dentists\' and orthodontists\' and oral surgeons\' pronouncements, there is no need to extract impacted teeth which are not causing problems; rather, by eating plenty of nuts, apples, pears, carrots, celery sticks, and seeds whole (with third teeth in front, apples and pears in sixths) with dairy products, the patient is actually able to grow the jawbone to accommodate all those teeth and straighten them out! With a mouthful of third dentition, the resulting face is incredibly ugly. Preserving a small face, there is nothing to be done about impacted teeth to avoid numerous needed extractions. Yes, this is what \"weeping and gnashing of teeth\" might mean! If we were to read \"gnashing of teeth\" without mention of \"weeping\", its Russian translation would be the noun \"skrezhet\" or the verb \"skrezhetat\'\". That is not a weepy word to the best of my knowledge. Jesus Christ, however, put \"weeping\" with \"gnashing of teeth\" to express the weepy word, definitely crying, \"uvyadaniye\" as a noun and \"uvyadat\'\" or \"uvyanut\'\" as verbs. Given in good dictionaries as meaning \"to waste away\" in reference to a person, this most extremely, incredibly shameful verb in either form in its most shameful sense as crying in the first person (\"uvyad\", \"uvyanu yazF?\", \"uvyanyum\' yazF\", \"yazF uvyadayu\", etc.) refers to gnashing one\'s teeth to bits and pieces, in various tenses. I warn you that THIS suffering could befall the evil servants in charge and, later, lazy stewards from among the followers! And now I warn you that many \"evil servants in charge\" and many \"lazy stewards\" will most certainly lose all their teeth through this judgement and be left to pray the psalmists\' prayer, \"Lift up my head.\" Surely the master, when he returns, will have obtained the authority to compel Badpastor to bite on steel pipes while he is flogged. The lazy stewards, far more numerous, may be in for this most awful fate, or they may be cast out where the evil servants suffer so horribly. Who will suffer what is unclear because Scripture only says \"where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth\" (Matt. 24:51, 25:30 ) rather than a clear statement of \"(he shall) weep and gnash his teeth\". Yet I tell you, in order to make the Gospel ring true to the Russian people, there will be individuals among the evil servants in charge whose teeth are now sound yet shall be made to bite on steel pipe during their floggings and thus lose all their teeth. It is absolutely unsafe for us to run churches like evil servants in charge, and it is likewise absolutely unsafe for us in the pews without vast wealth of our own to ignore our stewardship even of our chances to befriend the rich folk of this world. The message of gnashing one\'s teeth to pieces or of a mouth full of natural replacement adult teeth is admission of utter decadence and age. Nobody looks young with a third set of teeth. Still, Jesus accepts and accommodates them. Some of His disciples must have had feeble incisors of third dentition because He broke bread for them. To prepare bread for people with first dentition (baby teeth, milk teeth) or second dentition (\"permanent\" teeth, adult teeth), we usually slice it or find it already sliced for our convenience. As I conclude, please remember the incredibly severe risks inherent in evil servanthood and lazy stewardship and unfaithfulness in (with) the mammon of unrighteousness. God bless those who heed.
