Happy Is ...

Happy Is ...

Happy is

the people
whose God
is

Jehovah!”

Scattered
among religions ancient or new?

One to hundreds of thousands
among a wealthy land;

two hundred thousand or more

as mere spoil
upon a desert soil?

Be them many

as blades of grass
under a gentle rain

or as survivors

minus a few

bent over
after the sun rises high
and hatred's blood

did boil?

Is that where the faithful
are found?

Sparse
amidst weeds

lost blossoms
mentally bound

or

gathered together
uplifted and lovingly

continually
renewed?

Does it really matter?

To the Creator
it does;

so to us
it must matter too.

Many moons
centuries passed

He said:

"For you were once not a people,
but now you are God’s people;

once you had not been shown mercy,
but now you have received mercy."

Prophesied,

about our day
and sheep
fed,

satisfied;

feeling no dread.

Heard

a gentle
Shepherd's voice;

followed

a loyal course
his path led.

Yes,

precious:

'Truth.'

Faith
causes an exodus,
a separation
instead
of stagnancy.

His people,
of present and past,
from untruth
have always
righteously
fled.

Made:
A choice.

“You are my witnesses,”
declares Jehovah,

“Yes, my servant
whom I have chosen,...

I—I am Jehovah,

and besides me
There is no savior.”

This Father
integrity
in his servants
bred.

So,

Forward
you witnesses!

Straight
into forever.

Ahead?

A universal
blast!

But,
salvation
for those to eternally last

if one does
"Flee

out of the midst of Babylon,
and escape for your life.

Do not perish
because of her error."

Her international disloyal support
of violence and strife.

"For it is the time
for Jehovah’s vengeance.

He is paying her back
for what she has done."

“‘Therefore,

Get out from among them,
and separate yourselves,’

says Jehovah,

‘and quit touching
the unclean thing’”;
“‘and I will take you in.’”

Yes!
“Get out of her,

my people,

if you do not want to share with her in her sins,
and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues."

Become

“those having insight"
that "will shine as brightly
as the expanse of heaven,

and those bringing the many to righteousness

like the stars,
forever and ever."

Then Victory.

You Will Win;

though,
as His People

You've Already Won.
