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.
