Be It So!



A wind blows

where it wants to go.

Gentle or strong,

you do not know
when or where
it will of itself show.

Its' direction
changes;

its' flow rearranges
like trends of men

tried
yesterday
or long ago.

Yet, there is One
who many do not acknowledge;

on whom
honor
does not bestow.

Although, He created children
and plants in maturity to grow.

Sun, moon, and stars in our skies
to constantly glow.

Still, they give His Glory
to any and all
except

He and His Son--

A Righteous King
riding. His anger aglow
against enemies of his Father
The Almighty

Who says:
“For I am Jehovah; I do not change." Mal. 3:6.

For, "Every good gift
and every perfect present
is from above,

coming down from the Father of the celestial lights,

who does not vary
or change

like the shifting shadows." James 1:17.

His standards of righteousness
in the coming New Earth

after a complete elimination
of wickedness and stubborn foes

will permeate modest hearts
who allowed his guidance
to increase their inner peace

like lambs on a mountainside
with green grass on which to nibble.

Their daily hunger fed.

On sweet principles
eternally to chew
as grown hay for nourishment
after farmers do ardently mow.

Yes..."In his days the righteous will flourish,
And peace will abound until the moon is no more.

He will have subjects from sea to sea
And from the River to the ends of the earth.

The desert dwellers will bow down before him,
And his enemies will lick the dust."

"For he will rescue the poor who cry for help,
Also the lowly one and whoever has no helper.

He will have pity on the lowly and the poor,
And the lives of the poor he will save.
From oppression and from violence he will rescue them,

And their blood will be precious in his eyes."

On this, we can trust.

"There will be an abundance of grain on the earth;
On the top of the mountains it will overflow.

His fruit will flourish as in Lebʹa·non,

And in the cities people will blossom like the vegetation of the earth."

"May his name endure forever,
And may it prosper as long as the sun.

May people obtain a blessing for themselves by means of him;

May all nations pronounce him happy." Ps. 72.

Because,
"This means everlasting life,

their coming to know you,
the only true God,
and the one whom you sent,
Jesus Christ." John 17:3.

But to those who "love the front seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces!"...

It means... Woe!

Apropos,

"Honor the son,

or God will become indignant
and you will perish from the way,

For His anger flares up quickly.

Happy
are all those

Taking Refuge In Him." Psalm 2:12.

For prophesied:

‘I will certainly sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which you profaned among them; and the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah,’ declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, ‘when I am sanctified among you before their eyes." Ezekiel 36:23.

BE IT SO!

The Mediator



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.

'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.
