In times of trouble

times of apostasy

times aplenty

these times of feelings, nothing but feelings

wishing upon sugarplums

rainbows

(the prevailing one these times the stolen one of God’s now flying in the face of abomination coast to coast)

unicorns, candied apples, popcorn

all the freely given unsound doctrines

out

&

out

lies

filling the itching ears

twitching dead souls

of delusion

blindly walking into

the same walls of death

banged into

in

the

Garden

Babel

the days of Noah

all those wonderful days in Egypt

(all that idol worship really worked out well didn’t it?)

times through time

even

that Babylon pagan king

Belshazzar

saw the writing on the wall

why can’t we

to this very nanosecond of time

now

just

past

yet all the same at last

passing

ticking

where is

the

dread of the LORD

 

 

And

his mercy

is for those who fear him

from

generation to generation

And

unto man he said,

Behold,

the fear of the Lord,

that is wisdom;

and to depart from evil is understanding

Let all the earth fear the LORD:

let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him

The fear of the LORD

is a fountain of life,

that one may turn away from

the snares of death

The fear of the LORD

is the beginning of knowledge:

but fools despise wisdom

and

instruction

And

fear not them

which kill the body,

but are not able to kill the soul:

but

rather

fear

him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell

Then the dread of the LORD fell upon the people,

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

Fear God,

and keep his commandments:

for this is the whole duty of man

 

 

Pleasure seeking

pretenders

sound doctrine lenders

leaning upon the world

instead

tooth gnashing freaking

out

when

the

dread

of the LORD

will weigh upon them far to late

their fate

some upcoming date

shall they not humbly

repent

turn their backs upon this rotting world

back to the LORD

their eyes

hearts

minds

spirits

bodies find

times of trouble

times aplenty

time taken

no awe, wonder, worship, reverence, fear, humbling, turning given

times time all those in time saying

they

have

no time

(and they may be right around the next bend)

so many now given over to a reprobate mind

 

 

And

his mercy

is for those who fear him

from

generation to generation

And

unto man he said,

Behold,

the fear of the Lord,

that is wisdom;

and to depart from evil is understanding

Let all the earth fear the LORD:

let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him

The fear of the LORD

is a fountain of life,

that one may turn away from

the snares of death

fear not them

which kill the body,

but are not able to kill the soul:

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

Fear God,

and keep his commandments:

for this is the whole duty of man

 

 

God the Father

Jehovah Tsidkenu

One True unchangeable God

God is not bipolar

God is not schizophrenic

God

is not

what each attempts to make Him

woe to any

all

who

should tread upon such shaky ground

for they shall be swallowed up and spit out

There is no

God

of the

Old Testament

&

another

God

of the

New

the Scriptures are one complete book

not to be divided in mind

nor heart

one continuous thread

weaving the fabric

of salvation

of Jesus

of what was, is, and will be

nor a God for today

other than the God that always has, is, and will be

for ever and for ever and for ever

 

 

And

his mercy

is for those who fear him

from

generation to generation

And

unto man he said,

Behold,

the fear of the Lord,

that is wisdom;

and to depart from evil is understanding

Let all the earth fear the LORD:

let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him

The fear of the LORD

We

are all made

for

His pleasure

(do I need to say who He is? Really?)

To submit

serve

obey

joyously

reverently

awe struck

transformed

into the new from the old

out of the awareness

the true freedom

the shed blood of His Son

Jesus Christ the Lord

makes available

through faith, steadfast faith, enduring faith

leading to life eternal

Satan lies into every ear

every mind

telling us we’re made for our own pleasure

saying continually

do not believe God

do not believe in Jesus

do not believe in the Bible

why

you can extract, remove, omit, reduce, add

whatever

suits

your whims

will

feelings

whatever the world is now saying

as they all sing the devils hymn

rather than hymns

to

the

One True God, Father

Creator

and

His Son

Jesus Christ the Lord

Instead

they listen to his old line since in the Garden

do not worry, “surely you will not die”

the eternal lie

which will ring in the ears of all who heed

the

lying

Evil One

his words in all the itching ears

only leading

to

eternal death

 

And

his mercy

is for those who fear him

from

generation to generation

And

unto man he said,

Behold,

the fear of the Lord,

that is wisdom;

and to depart from evil is understanding

Let all the earth fear the LORD:

let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him

The fear of the LORD

is a fountain of life,

that one may turn away from

the snares of death

The fear of the LORD

but fools despise wisdom

and

him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell

Then the dread of the LORD fell upon the people,

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

Fear God,

and keep his commandments:

for this is the whole duty of man
