Outta Here

Very soon we’ll be outta here, as Christ’s Return draws near,
When God lifts us into the sky, true believers, like you and I,
As The Lord raptures all of us, to see our Lord, Christ Jesus,
But, within His time and His plan, not a time devised by man.

The Rapture is God’s Truth, One Thessalonians, is our proof,
Truth, revealed to Paul by Christ, a time we enter Eternal Life,
With His words we’re to comfort, believers about the trumpet,
As we stay fixed on The Lord, men’s words are to be ignored.

Man’s careless predictions can, deter the belief of some men.
Where is Christ’s Coming, they jeer, as His Return draws near,
But, His Truth is forever true, a Blessed Hope, of me and you,
Hope that is not hindered by man, for it is God’s inerrant plan.

God’s Word is flawless friend, a Truth we can trust to the end,
His Word is above man’s ways, only God deserves our praise,
His thoughts are higher than ours, and man’s thoughts He bars,
From association with His Word, when errant ideas are inferred.

In The Blessed Hope be assured, words to Paul from our Lord,
All of the flawed views of men, the Lord our God will condemn;
Believers today can be sure, in God’s Word, flawless and pure,
To be taken from the ground, when we hear that trumpet sound.

Environmental Cause

People gather, to help the earth, all to preserve the plant’s worth,
Seeking to preserve earth’s value, for all it means to me and you,
They focus on the environment, with a message they won’t relent,
The planet must be saved by us, with no mention of Christ Jesus.

Jesus Christ, The Creator of all, is not acknowledged in their call,
Their call to people everywhere, to give the earth the utmost care,
Dismissing that God is in control, of this earth, watching over all,
Even all who believe in heart, in saving earth, they must be a part.

Saving earth is man’s cause, though admirable, he should pause,
Seeing who created the planet, He, who controls the environment,
Reflecting on the scope of all; beside God’s our efforts are small,
God, Who set the earth in place, sustaining all, through His Grace.

God today, still has His hands, upon all of the seas and the lands,
The Lord God, Who created all, today is watching over every soul,
He, Who sits above every nation, controls the planet’s destination,
He alone knows all earth’s whys, as men on earth can just surmise.

All changes that are to come, will be instituted by God’s own Son,
He who now sustaining all things, Lord of lords and King of kings;
All men will see great devastation, described by Him in Revelation,
And one day The Lord God will birth, a new Heaven and new earth.

Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 8 february 2014

Love & Purity

You are a box of delights
. that I want to uncover
You are a closed garden
. that I want to open and explore
You are a spring of refreshing water
. that I want to dig in
You are a fragrant fruit tree
. that I want to climb
. to lay hold of its fruits
But God give me temperance
. that I may truly love you!

It is said [2]

It is said that life is gift
that God borrows to everyone for a time
and what we do with it
opens the portals of either heaven or hell.

It is said [1]

It is said that when a husband and wife
together in prayer trusts on the power of God
they find a kind of tranquillity
and that He holds His omnipotent hand over them.

What Angels Know

A handicapped child is born to test us,
He’ll see if we are worthy of his attention.
The sick hold out their medicine for us to take—
It is good for the soul, they say.
The homeless guide us home unaware.
The hungry feed us with their eyes.
The suffering save us with their heavy tears.
When we are tired of being frivolous
We sometimes look differently at people and at things,
And they look at us and say
Even you are greater than you know.

OBTUSE MYSELF

The hard core cult was fixing
the flies on the podium.
A snapdragon becomes a cannibal
devouring its own seeds.

Beyond insanity lies the phantom zone
where you hang upside down your faith.

A lunatic threatens to jump
from high tomb –
after excavating the remains of
a forbidden fear.

There was nothing except the
worn rags of a fakir.

I Need You

Don't leave me
I can't handle this alone
(You're supposed to be my saviour)
I'm so far away from home

I'm scared, frightened
(Don't tell the others)
I'm not sure I can do this
Can I hide? (Under the covers)

I need your light
Dim as it may be
To save me from hell
To save me from me

Poem: Costly Signal

Regarding the absolute authority of God,
it’s crazy, silly and futile to rebel;
know that everyone will ultimately bow,
before His throne or the gates of Hell.

Foolishness of God exceeds Mankind’s wisdom;
hidden are the keys of His profound mystery.
We are inspired with awe without intimidation,
knowing that He was crucified upon that Tree.

Acknowledge His deeds, since He loved us first;
worship Him now; His precepts we’re to observe.
Bask unashamedly in the Presence of His Spirit;
know that we have been chosen to ultimately serve.

The sacred megastructure of God’s Kingdom
is a divine threshold of evolving complexity,
that presses us to aspire towards greatness,
though we may be unable to perceive or see…

the plans and purpose He has envisioned for us.
Know without doubt that His plans are intentional!
He sustains His ongoing power through humility;
it’s time we worship Him; discern His… costly signal.

Author Notes:

Loosely based on:
2 Tim 3:16; 2 Cor 2:14; Matt 27:27-54; Eph 1:20-23;

As a poet

As a poet I wanted to make wonderful verses that astound everyone,
wanted to write words that touch hearts and did not want to disguise anything
and I wanted to write verses that stand forever like monuments
but then I did realise that everything comes out of Your hand.
