"The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate.

Who can know it?" Jer. 17:9. © 8 minutes ago, Lucretia Mccloud    personal poems

The Mediator

In misery we'd forever be
in darkness. Such a tragedy

if great love for us had not interceded.
In our behalf

their willing spirits unselfishly
pleaded.

Granted a purpose
instantly began

when man became imperfect
on demon demand.

A seed promised to crush his head
the symbolic serpent cursed to end--

Him and his breed
eventually dead.

Centuries of heartache
bled men in horror.

Blatant disobedience gonged

accentuating every second
on the hour.

So a Mosaic Law code
to a High Priest led.

His one time sacrifice spiritual freedom fed

to nations future prophesied through Abraham bred
though wicked iniquities worldwide did spread.

So this mediator or Intercessor
between two parties became a link

connector

to reconcile to a standing clean
by means of splattered blood to validate

his pure offering.

"For there is one God,
and one mediator

between God and men,
a man, Christ Jesus"--

a marvelous spiritual director.

Yes, through Christ's blood sacrifice
to God atoned

144, 000 with the Almighty and Mighty in heaven
will be their eternal lasting

heavenly home

whereas 'the great crowd' will in peace
possess the earth

which can forever be
their glorious dwelling

"before the throne".

No longer to universally
sigh and groan.

To a Loving Father
and His beloved Son

it is a grand honor
to them wholeheartedly
belong.

Heaven

Splendid
“dews of the heavens”

yet, “frost of heaven” denies migrating “bird
that flies in the sky”
warmth.

“Stirred up the east wind
in the heavens

and made
a south wind blow
by his power”

we’ve come to know

“an eagle flying in midheaven”

not wise enough to soar to
“the heaven of the heavens and all their army,…
bowing down to you…

You

alone are Jehovah”

convened with angels
“heavenly bodies”–being

“the glory
of the heavenly bodies…
one sort,

earthly bodies…
a different sort.”

Existing
above

“the stars of the heavens
and their constellations” bringing

the earth
delight.

Yes,

“Jehovah looks down from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men. From his place of residence,
He gazes on the inhabitants of the earth.” “For the eyes of Jehovah are roving about through all the earth

to show his strength
in behalf of those
whose heart is complete
toward him.”

Those “sighing and groaning over all the detestable things that are being done in the city”.

A pitiful earth under the influence
of “the ruler of the authority of the air,

the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience.”

These “heavens [that] will pass away”
with a loud “hissing noise”—or “a mighty roar”
for violence perpetrated

hatred against the righteous abhorred

just as once said

“to Ze·rubʹba·bel, the governor of Judah,

‘I am going to shake the heavens
and the earth. I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms
and annihilate the strength
of the kingdoms of the nations’”.

“For look!” says the Creator,

“I am creating new heavens
(under Christ)

and a new earth;

And the former things will not be called to mind,
Nor will they come up into the heart.”

As this royal government
with Christ Jesus as King
and 144,000 associated corulers–
from this earth parted,

reign;

rule from “the holy city, New Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God
and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”

Jah’s
Heavenly

Messianic Kingdom

over a cleansed earth

finally

To Come.

The Gift

Abused; misused our global gift,
when warming, terror, deforestation persists.

Generations seed. Elders dismissed,
yet sun rises then falls, forever consistent,

glistening eyes of loyal servant's
shall eternal see rotations. Never cycles to skip nor miss.

"For this is what Jehovah says,

The Creator of the heavens, the true God,
The One who formed the earth,

its Maker who firmly established it,

Who did not create it simply for nothing,
but formed it to be inhabited:

“I am Jehovah,
and there is no one else.""

"As for the heavens, they belong to Jehovah,
But the earth he has given to the sons of men."

"The righteous will possess the earth,
And they will live forever on it."

On his promises righteous obedient ones
can endlessly depend.

Wisdom Divine

Exists
a beauty in wisdom.

Rises as flowing ribbons caught on a current
to faraway valleys,
mountains;

streams forth to curry favor in prestigious courts;

extolled before regal presences of princes,
queens, kings of new

recanting values stored in urns old,
as 'apples of gold'
spoken treasures.

Mortal man of various hues of earthen clay,
who felt injustice flay the flesh, yet dream to walk the balance beam of fairness

we praise as wise
internationally

since they dare to create a multi-national
humane loving scene

despite a darkness growing extreme.

But, as doves ascending to bluer skies, ascending higher
than mortal heart's eyes

Divine Wisdom

which transcends our intelligent,
though imperfect minds

condescends to touch meek souls
who scour the earth for it;

who love it. Cherish it.
Plus, live it: Bold.

And when encased in motives pure,
just
true

imbued as fragrant incense
infusing races to understanding a 'will to do'.

Divinely wise ones shall never perish if divine wisdom
eternally, loyal servants esteem as pearls precious
to graciously adorn

not as human waste better buried

or distasteful gifts often sold;
hatefully scorned.
.

Based upon Proverbs 14:33; 16:25; Romans 16:27; Matt. 11:19

'Upon His Name' ... (ex. for contest Thus Said the King)

an enemy thankless
forevermore nameless
persists his efforts to defame

a magnificent master
omnipresent never

housed heavenly
with him a trillion reasons for endowing himself

a Holy Name as "He Causes to Become"
whatever's needed

a shepherd,
a warrior in warring season,

all elements in respectful fear
to heed him

Noah: ark builder;
Bezalel: master craftsman;
Gideon: victorious warrior;

yes Paul: apostle to the nations

he elevates humbled to higher stations
as the haughty
death overcomes

knees bowed
profusely bleeding
then contorted bodies
tragically shamed--meek

dusted off
comforted by international brothers
loving

many of them experiencing horrific same

yet,

by means of loyalty to Him
as a sea-faring barnacle attached to a ships bottom

accomplished a faithful work
not considered game:

"And I will certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that

I am Jehovah.’"

Yes, like a Red Sea Rift of geological divide
will exist a "distinction

between a righteous person and a wicked person,

between one serving God
and one not serving him.”"

Too, in this spread shall we proclaim?

However,
knows the Creator and his Son
what's in the heart
who we are
what we try to hide.

Our total actions
will be the final
eternal decide.

For contest Thus Said the King:
Malachi 3:13-18....https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/l/r1/lp-e?q=malachi+3%3A13-18

These are your verses. What do they speak to you? How are you inspired? Poets compose a heart-felt poem, rhythm, free-verse, any type except haiku. 150-300 words approximately. Not under or over more than 10 words. Place word count in AN. Be respectful and please ... no vulgarity in word or content. Will add HM's if poems say "must" :-)

Based upon: Let your brotherly love continue.—Heb. 13:1.

We need to develop our brotherly love now, for it will help us during whatever tests and trials we may face in the future. Even now, before the outbreak of the great tribulation, we have a strong need for brotherly love. Many of our brothers have been adversely affected by earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, or other natural disasters. Some brothers are suffering because of opposition and persecution. (Matt. 24:6-9) Added to all of this are the economic woes we experience daily as a result of living in this corrupt system of things. (Rev. 6:5, 6) As such problems increase, so do our opportunities to demonstrate the depth of our brotherly affection. Even though “the love of the greater number [of people] will grow cold,” we need to prove that our brotherly love continues.—Matt. 24:12. w16.01 1:8, 9 and Ezekiel 38:23. ©  Lucretia Mccloud   personal poems • spiritual poems • nature poems • society poems • teen poems

Accurate Knowledge's Eternal Worth

Perplexion

swelling
toxic reflections
haphazardly
ejected

from
caustic dwellings
abound.

Snide,
sarcastic
or humorously
inclined

create not
intelligence
profound

as answers
simple or complex
persist

within one's grasp;

resound
around
our sphere.

Such knowledge
is amassed
into the mind

then tasted and savored
as cuisine exquisite

yes, truly refined

denied to none
sheep-like

genuine.

This banquet

divinely spread
circles the globe

to nourish the famished
to sooth a battered
bruised or just weary soul.

'Truth' be told

calmly, yet bold

one hungry must be fed
and then by spirit

gratefully led

to don pearls of
goodness

kind,

to a
'new personality'

clothed

oneself

fashionable
to all obedient
mankind.

To this fruitage
one must

faithfully adhere;

modeled
to humankind

by

'Wisdom
personified'

born

to walk our earth
in righteousness
adorned

proclaiming

'Good News'

to masses
credulously

astounded

buoyed
by these glorious
things heard.

Why hidden the message
when so delicious

'The Word'?

Witnessed
by those

wisely

not allowing faith to depart.

They then themselves
imparting true understanding
of prophecies

that cradled their hearts.

Lift voices joined
to give God deserving praise

since his loyal Son
his perfect human life

gave

then transported
back to heaven

his ransom
generously
paid

before his Father's
celestial throne

to obedient men
of all the nations
them thus

to eternally save.

To repudiate his birth:

Of what value?

Especially
when comprehended:

Accurate Knowledge's
Eternal Worth

during these dark
and empty days.

Perplexion

swelling
questions

haphazardly
ejected

from caustic dwellings

do not entertain.

The energy expended
will waste you

regretfully
away.

Jesus] was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.—1 Pet. 3:18.
Jehovah resurrected Jesus, not as a human, but as an immortal spirit creature. In proof of this, the Lord Jesus materialized in human form and gave evidence that he had come back to life. On the very day of his resurrection, he made at least five appearances to different disciples. (Matt. 28:8-10; Luke 24:13-16, 30-36; John 20:11-18) The fifth time Jesus appeared was to present himself to his apostles and others who were gathered with them. On that memorable occasion, he conducted, as it were, a study of God’s Word. “He opened up their minds fully to grasp the meaning of the Scriptures.” Thus they came to understand that his death at the hands of God’s enemies and his miraculous resurrection had been foretold in the Scriptures. At the conclusion of that resurrection-day meeting, Jesus made clear to his audience what their responsibility was.—Luke 24:44-48. w14 7/15 4:3, 4  © 5 months ago, Lucretia Mccloud    hope • spiritual • teen
