Between Genesis 1 and Genesis 5,
I have learned a lot about God,
and the the creation of earth
and the heavenly realms.

Genesis says a lot about earth,
but doesn’t say much about the heavens.
This is my focus as I read through the Bible again.

I have also learned some about Satan,
Adam and Eve, and Cain and Abel.
I learned that Satan
likes to tempt men and women,
and that God cursed Satan 
and Adam and Eve,
when they all went against him.

I learned about the Fall,
and how God used his mouth
to administer the consequence;
and I learned about the promise
that was given to man and woman
in the middle of the reprimand.

I learned about the offspring of Satan,
and the offspring that would come
through the seed of the woman
that would crush Satan’s head.

I learned that Cain allowed anger
to cause him to murder his brother,
and I learned that God sent Cain to Nod,
a place of wandering - a place far from God.

I learned about Seth,
and saw that the Seed of the woman
would come through him.

I learned about the two Lamechs,
one that was bad and one that was good.

I learned about Enoch,
and saw that he was faithful and good,
and God took him up to be with Him,
without Enoch ever experiencing physical death.

I learned about Methuselah,
the oldest man to ever live -
almost 1,000 years!
And I learned that the chosen remnant
would come through him.

I learned there are two lines
that came from Seth
that are important to follow -
the TIME line helps us to understand
how long man has existed
since the creation of Adam.

And I learned about the BLOOD line 
that explains how the gene of faith
was passed down.

Now, in Genesis 6, we are going to see
something really strange happening.

The sons of God took human women
and created offspring called Nephilim.

Listen to this -
“When human beings 
began to increase in number
on the earth
and daughters were born to them,
the sons of God
saw that the daughters of humans
were beautiful,
and they married any of them they chose.”
Genesis 6:1-2

It’s not often that Pastors speak on this -
I suppose they don’t want to scare people off.

Can you imagine what would happen
if people knew what was written
in Genesis Chapter 6?

They would probably say, 
"That is way too cray-cray!"

But Moses shared this information
for a reason.
We should never exclude
anything that was written in the scripture.

We are foolish to leave the sons of God out!
This is a glimpse into the heavenly realm!

Who are these rebellious sons of God?
The "men" who took women for themselves?
Personally, I believe they are fallen angels,
Rebellious spirit beings, who God created,
who decided to follow Satan.

I believe these spiritual beings were evil doers
who took on physical forms.
Much like Satan took on the shape of a serpent.

These evil doers pursued human women,
and married them -
probably without their consent.

Their disgusting behavior reminds me
of what men did to the angels
in Sodom and Gomorrah.

Remember the men of Sodom,
where Abraham’s nephew lived?

The men wanted to have sex
with the two angels who looked like men,
when they went to save Lot
from the destruction
that was about to come.
You can read all about it
in Genesis 19:1-5.

Yes, it is true.  In the story of Lot,
it was human men who wanted to have sex
with angels who looked like men.
It was not angels wanting to have sex with them.
But we can obviously see
that angels took on the appearance
of physical men.
It goes to show
that angels can replicate human form.

It’s crazy to think
that humans and angels could mate.
God did not intend
for his two kinds of sons to become one.

In Genesis 6 -
“the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend
with humans forever, for they are mortal;
their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

Well, so much for living 900 years,
like most of the descendants of Seth!

Our physical bodies
would now deteriorate
at a much faster rate!
Our DNA would quickly breakdown,
because God said so.

“The Nephilim were on the earth
in those days - and also afterward -
when the sons of God
went to the daughters of humans
and had children by them.
They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
The Lord saw how great
the wickedness of the human race
had become on the earth,
and that every inclination
of the thoughts of the human heart
was only evil all the time.”
Genesis 6:4-5

The one Nephilim
that I most think of is Nimrod -
He is said to be
the greatest hunter to ever live,
and he is the one who created Babylon!
We will learn more about him soon.

Moses wrote, “The Lord regretted
that he had made human beings on the earth,
and his heart was deeply troubled.
So the Lord said,
“I will wipe from the face of the earth
the human race I have created -
and with them the animals,
the birds and the creatures
that move along the ground -
for I regret that I have made them.”
But Noah found favor
in the eyes of the Lord.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭6:1-8‬

It’s interesting to me that God
was more upset by humans,
than the behavior of the sons of God!

This makes me think of Hebrews 1 and 2,
where God distinguishes between
the true Son of God, the angels and the human race.
If you get a chance, go and read it.
It's really good.

We need to understand why God
sent the flood to kill all of mankind.
Evil intent had totally replaced
the essence of the human heart!
All that was good,
had become completely bad -
the human heart began to rot
from the inside out.

But God found favor in Noah.
Noah, the son of the good Lamech.

Noah, whose great- grandfather was Enoch,
the faithful man who was taken up by God.

The Lord kept his promise!
He said, “the seed of the woman
would crush Satan’s head.”
The seed started with Adam and Eve,
​then it was passed down to Seth
and here we see it flowing to Noah -
the remnant of man that God kept.

Genesis 5 is all about the two Seth Lines -
the Seth Time Line
and the Seth Blood Line,
and both lead to Noah,
and the promise of God -
the seed that would come
through the woman.

The Seth timeline looks like this:
Adam lived for 930 years,
and then he died.
Seth lived for 912 years
and then he died.
Enosh lived for 905 years,
and then he died.
Kenan lived for 910 years,
and then he died.
Mahalalel lived for 895 years,
and then he died.
Jared lived for 962 years,
and then he died.
Enoch lived for 365 years,
and during his time
he walked faithfully with God;
then he was no more,
because God took him away.
But before God took him,
he had Methuselah
who lived the longest of any human.
Methuselah lived
a total of 969 years,
and then he died.
Lamech lived 777 years,
and then he died.
When Lamech had lived 182 years,
he had a son.
He named him Noah and said,
“He will comfort us in the labor
and painful toil of our hands
caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.”
After Noah was 500 years old,
he became the father of
Shem, Ham and Japheth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭5:1-32‬

From these passages we can see
the timeline of Seth
that existed from Adam to Seth to Noah.

Now let’s look at Seth’s Blood Line.

There were 9 generations
between Adam and Noah,
including Enoch, who did not die,
but was taken up by God.
Also, it is so interesting to me
that the descendants of Cain
included many of the same names.
It’s almost like a parallel universe.
Lamech, the son born
after seven generation of Cain,
walked in the wilderness,
as a nomad and vagabond,
without God, and without a home.
Lamech is the first man
to take two two wives,
and believe in his heart,
that everything that he said was like God.
This Lamech was definitely a little “g” god.

On the other hand, Lamech,
who was born to the line of Seth,
the grandson of Enoch,
the man who walked so faithfully with God
that he was taken up
without ever experiencing physical death.
This Lamech gave birth to Noah,
who also walked faithfully with God.

Noah believed God,
and did everything that God said,
he even built a boat 
when there had never been rain;
and he endured the scrutiny that came!

God prepared Noah and his family,
to be able to withstand the Flood.
Isn't it promising
that God is always saving a remnant!

This Lamech lived 777 years -
a number that expresses the fullness of God.
If I had to guess the lifeline of the other Lamech
it would probably be 666, the number of the beast.

Scripture says,
“This is the written account
of Adam’s family line.
When God created mankind,
he made them in the likeness of God.
He created them male and female
and blessed them.
And he named them “Mankind”
when they were created.”
Genesis 5:1-2

This poem is about the two Seth Lines:
his timeline and his bloodline;
the offspring of the woman
that would crush the head of Satan.
Both lines were spoken 
by the very Word of God.

Friends -
Genesis Four closes with quite the ROAR!
Hold onto your seats,
while I explain some more!

Do your remember Genesis 3:15
when God said to the serpent,
“I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3:15‬

Well, that is what this poem is all about!
It’s about the Lord building his Kingdom
through a child named Seth,
and the men who came through him.

Now hang on. Just wait a minute.
I can only imagine what your thinking!
“The Seed of the woman is God himself -
who was created through His Spirit
and a virgin woman,
who came as the Son of Man
named Jesus Christ.”

But that only happened because men,
began to call on the name of the Lord
when Seth was born.

The scripture says.
“And Adam knew his wife again,
and she bore a son
and named him Seth,
“For God has appointed
another seed for men
instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.”
And as for Seth,
to him also a son was born;
and he named him Ē´nosh.
Then men began
to call on the name of the Lord.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭4:25-26‬

You see, 
Children of Cain had went astray,
after Cain was cast aside
and sent to a place called Nod.
They wandered about the earth as nomads, 
without a Father or a home.

But God!
God kept his promise
that the seed of the woman
would crush Satan’s head!

So God created a man named Seth.

Take a minute to imagine Adam and Eve,
and how they felt so ashamed
when they disobeyed God.
They experienced shame for the first time,
and stood before the Lord
completely embarrassed and totally broken.

Yes, God did scold them.
There was a consequence for their sin.
But in the midst of reprimanding them,
God supplied them with a Promise -
the woman's offspring would
crush the head of the serpent.

When Cain and Abel were first born,
Adam and Eve must have thought,
“This is the One.”
They must have wondered
if one of their offspring was the seed
that would crush Satan’s head.

Can you imagine their heartbreak,
when Cain killed Abel?
Can you imagine being the parent
of a son who killed your other son?

And then, can you imagine
your only living son
being sent to wander the earth
as a vagabond?

Adam and Eve must have felt like
God abandoned them.
They must have felt like
God does not keep His Word.

So on the day that Seth was born,
and then survived to have another child,
named E'Nosh, meaning “Mortal Man” -

Adam and Eve must have been so relieved -
perhaps Seth's line
would bring the promised seed.

Seth knew he was not God.
He even named his son, Enosh,
meaning "Mortal Man."

In a new position of humility,
that is when men began to call
on the name of the Lord.

Imagine the thoughts of Adam and Eve -
Perhaps the offspring of the woman
​would indeed crush Satan’s head -
just as God had said!

Written 9/17/21

After Cain killed his brother Abel,
God heard Abel’s blood
cry out from the ground.

And even though Adam
is Cain’s biological father,
it was Cain’s Heavenly Father
who delivered the consequences
for what he had done.

God said,
“So now you are cursed from the earth,
which has opened its mouth
to receive your brother’s blood
from your hand.
When you till the ground,
it shall no longer yield its strength to you.
A fugitive and a vagabond
you shall be on the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭4:11-12‬

And then Cain was cast out to Nod,
a place east of Eden -
where he would wander with no home
or no father!

Cain was afraid and said to God,
“anyone who finds me will kill me.”

But the Lord said,
“Whoever kills Cain,
vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.
And the Lord set a mark on Cain,
lest anyone finding him should kill him.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭4:13-15‬

First, isn’t it obvious?
Whatever God says
is the law of the land.
If we don’t like it, then “oh well!”
God is sovereign.

Everything created
came from God's mouth -
including us!

And since God is alive and well,
He is still speaking and carrying out His plan
to restore Eden to Mount Zion
and the New Jerusalem.

Second, God’s blessings and curses
typically carry a double portion, 
or “a sevenfold.”

God said, if anyone kills Cain,
God’s vengeance will be sevenfold.
That means that if a human
decided to inflict punishment
or revenge for the injury or wrong that Cain had done,
then they would endure a punishment delivered by God
that would be greater than seven times
the intensity of what they had done!

God himself is the final judge!

After Cain left his parents,
and moved to Nod, East of Eden,
he had children with his wife.
From Enoch, Cain’s first-born son,
to Lamech, his last-born son,
were seven generations.

And it seems the seventh generation
was farthest from God.

Lamech took two wives,
became like a “god” and said “hear my voice.”

According to scripture,
his exact words were,
“Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech!
For I have killed a man for wounding me,
Even a young man for hurting me.
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,
then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭4:23-24‬

I got to admit, when I read this,
I almost shit my pants!
Holy Spirit revealed to me what it meant.

I have read this passage
a hundred times, and not once, until today,
did I notice what took place!
But Holy Spirit
has been opened my eyes,

Lamech, born from the line of Cain,
became like a little “god” -
and it only took 7 generations
for a man to behave
in complete foolishness.

How did Lamech think it was wise 
to take two wives,
when God clearly said
“a man shall leave his father and mother
and be joined to his wife,
and they shall become one flesh.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:24‬

How did Lamech decide
that he would be avenged
seventy times sevenfold?
When did a man decide
that he could administer a punishment
that was God’s to give?

And most importantly,
when did Lamech think that what he says goes?
Did he really think his words create, like God's?

Perhaps Lamech was so far removed from God,
that he only heard his own voice
speaking in his head?

He must have thought
he had complete control
to take God’s place and make it his own.

Lamech Says -
this should be a lesson for us all!

Written 9/16/21

“My punishment is more than I can bear.”
This is what Cain said to the Lord.

Cain added,
“Today you are driving me out
from the land, and I will be hidden
from your presence;
I will be a restless wanderer on the earth,
and whoever finds me will kill me.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭4:13-14‬

Oh Lord, I have a feeling
that writing these poetic sermons
is going to open up many heavenly doors!

My curiosity about the heavenly realm,
and about these interesting words -
are going to make me dive in even deeper
to explore the beauty of your Word.

So here I go!
Here is the first question I have for you,
Oh Holy Spirit.

How can Cain
be driven out from the land,
when that already happened
to his mom and dad
before Cain was born?

Scripture says,
“So the Lord God banished him
(them) from the Garden of Eden
to work the ground from
which he (they) had been taken.
After he drove the man
(and woman) out,
he placed on the east side of
the Garden of Eden
cherubim and a flaming sword
flashing back and forth
to guard the way to the tree of life.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3:23-24‬

First, I do not speak or understand
the Hebrew pronouns,
so I’m assuming
if Adam was removed from Eden,
then so was Eve
because the Scripture says they became One.

Second, the Lord placed an angel
on the East Side of the Garden
to guard the Tree of Life from mankind
who had already shown
they wanted to be like God.

In this description,
God says where the Tree of Life is.
It’s on the East side of the garden,
sitting firmly at the right hand of God,
deeply rooted and can not be moved.

Praise be to Jesus!

So, here is next question, Oh, Holy Spirit -
Since Adam and Eve had become One,
and were removed from the Garden, and
sent back to the dirt from which had come,
then how is God sending Cain to Nod,
east of Eden,
where that is exactly where
​he seems to be coming from?

Scripture says,
“Then Cain went out
from the presence of the Lord
and dwelt in the land of Nod
on the east of Eden.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭4:16‬

How Far East is not good?
Where exactly were Adam and Eve put, 
and where exactly did Cain go?

Where is the Garden of Eden -
and where is Nod, east of Eden?

Are these physical locations,
or are these distances from God,
or could they be both?

If anyone knows, please disclose!

​I’ll save my next question for tomorrow.
It has to do with vengeance
and the meaning of sevenfold.

“Now Adam knew Eve his wife,
and she conceived and bore Cain, and said,
“I have acquired a man from the Lord.”
Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel.”

Two men - where the younger
would be chosen above the older.
God certainly knows how to establish his order.
It seems in God's eyes,
"the last shall be first,
and the first last:
for many be called, but few chosen."
Matthew 20:16

“Now Abel was a keeper of sheep,
but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
And in the process of time it came to pass
that Cain brought an offering
of the fruit of the ground to the Lord.
Abel also brought of the firstborn
of his flock and of their fat.”

“And the Lord respected Abel and his offering,
but He did not respect Cain and his offering.
And Cain was very angry, 
and his countenance fell.”

This is part I did not understand.
Why did God prefer the the fat of a lamb
over the fruit of the ground?
Then I read in between the lines.
The Hebrew word for “respected”
in this passage is sha`ah,
which means “to look at or look to,
to regard, to gaze at or about.”

And that is when I realized
that is was not about the offering,
but about the type of heart inside the human.

The next verse says it all -
“So the Lord said to Cain,
“Why are you angry?
And why has your countenance fallen?
If you do well, will you not be accepted?
And if you do not do well,
sin lies at the door.
And its desire is for you,
but you should rule over it.”

The fact that Cain got so angry
showed that his heart was NOT
in a right position from the start.
And instead of repenting 
and allowing God in to soften,
Cain choose to stay hard.

God gave Cain warning.  He said,
“If you do well, will you not be accepted?
And if you do not do well,
sin lies at the door.”

Let me ask you,
What do think God meant by
“if you do well?”

I believe God gives us opportunities
to strengthen our hearts,
through all kinds of testing,
trials and tribulations.

He knows that this earth is not our home.
But we need to remember
that God is never the tempter!
We do that all by ourselves
and it is based on the condition of our heart.

God already knows that sin
is crouching at our door.
Which is why He always gives choice.

God's desire is for us to rule over sin,
and have dominion over it.

“Now Cain talked with Abel
his brother; and it came to pass,
when they were in the field,
that Cain rose up against Abel
his brother and killed him.”

And here we see the results
of an unrepentant heart.
A heart that allowed anger
and bitterness to seep in.

A heart that chose
to take thing into their own hands,
rather than listening to the Word of God.

“Then the Lord said to Cain,
Where is Abel your brother?”

He said, “I do not know.
Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Cain’s response reminds me of Adam’s,
when Adam responded to God
when He called him.
Except instead
of feeling shame and hiding,
Cain’s response proved to be
way more cynical and arrogant.
Can you imagine saying to God,
“Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Acting as if a brother was not created
to care for one another?
I’m surprised that God did not
open the earth and swallow him down!
Instead God said, “What have you done?
The voice of your brother’s blood
cries out to Me from the ground.”

Here we see that God not only sees
the intent of the human heart,
but also hears the life in the blood
that cries out from the physical ground.

And this reminds me of
the same evil deeds
that King Manasseh did in Judah,
when he sacrificed so many
innocent children to pagan gods!

Listen to this -
“King Manasseh did evil
in the sight of the Lord,
according to the abominations
of the nations
whom the Lord had cast out
before the children of Israel.
Manasseh seduced Judah
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem
to do more evil than the nations
whom the Lord had destroyed”
‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭33:2, 9‬ ‭

The Lord God raised up
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon,
to remove Judah from His sight
because of the sins of Manasseh,
according to all that he had done,
and also because
of the innocent blood that he had shed;
for he had filled Jerusalem
with innocent blood,
which the Lord would not pardon.”
‭‭II Kings‬ ‭24:3-4‬

We must remember,
the Lord’s Word is always good.
It never leaves a stone unturned.
Even though captivity came to Judah
a couple generations later, it still came!

To Cain God said,
“So now you are cursed from the earth,
which has opened its mouth
to receive your brother’s blood
from your hand.
When you till the ground,
it shall no longer yield its strength to you.
A fugitive and a vagabond on the earth
you shall be.”

Basically this means
that God is no longer with Him.
Cain is a human without an eternal home.

The story of Cain and Abel
can be found in Genesis‬ ‭4:1-12‬.
I encourage you to read it for yourselves.

Since the creation of humankind,
God has let people know
what He expects of them.
And when we love God with all our hearts,
we obey the LORD,
because we trust in Him
and we know that His commands
are for our own good.

Let us remember, the same opportunity
that God gave to Cain to do right,
and repent and soften his heart,
is the same opportunity
that God gives to us.
He is always wanting
his prodigal child to return home.

But if we refuse to listen,
the Lord warns us
(often through poems like this)
that sin is crouching at our doorstep,
and is waiting for just the right moment
to dominate us.

Brothers and sisters,
“submit yourselves to God
and resist the devil,
just like the Lord urged Cain to do,
and the devil will flee from you."
James 4:7

I ask you,
Are you like Cain or Abel?
Is your heart hard or softened?
It is time to get right with God.

Someday when I go to Heaven,
I will know why Jesus is described
as a Lion and a Lamb;
and I will know why Satan is described
as a serpent and a dragon.

In Genesis 3,
the serpent is introduced as
“More crafty than any of the wild animals
the Lord God had made.”

Nāḥāš, the Hebrew Word for "snake",
is associated with divination,
a supernatural way to practice
spiritual knowledge and fortune-telling.
Nāḥāš is also used
in conjunction with Seraphim,
a celestial being known as the “burning ones.”

It's hard to believe that Satan was once close to God,
and at one time, Satan worshipped him.

I wonder if he was a seraphim?
I'm guessing maybe he is not,
because Ezekiel said,
"You were an anointed guardian cherub.
I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God;
in the midst of the stones of fire you walked."
Ezekiel 28:14

I'm guessing Satan was once a beloved son,
who stood at God’s throne worshipping Him.

"You were in Eden, the garden of God;
every precious stone was your covering,
sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle; and crafted in gold
were your settings and your engravings.
On the day that you were created they were prepared."
Ezekiel 28:13

Can you imagine how beautiful Satan was -
the day he was made these precious stones were created.

But we do know this,
the Day of the Lord is coming soon,
and Satan and his children
will be burning!

Once in a while
the Hebrew word Tannin is used,
and the Greek word, Drakon too.
These words describe the Antichrist Spirit
as a sea monster
who brings chaos and evil to the world!

So, with this biblical, background knowledge,
let us see what happens
when Satan enters the scene in Genesis 3.

The serpent said to the woman,
“Did God really say,
“You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

First, why did Satan approach the woman,
and not the man?
Could it be
that because she came from Adam’s rib,
perhaps she would have been
more vulnerable to Satan’s question?

Did she feel
she was once removed from God?
And why did the serpent start with
“Did God really say?”
He loves to put doubt into our heads!

Did he know that humans would have
an inner desire to be rebel against God?

The woman said to the serpent,
“We may eat fruit from the trees
in the garden, but God did say,
‘You must not eat fruit from the tree
that is in the middle of the garden,
and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ”

It just amazes me that Eve knew
exactly what God had warned them not to do!
She fully understood the consequence of her decision,
and yet, she still fell into temptation!

And if you think that you can judge,
well - I'm here to say you surely can NOT!
You and I are not any better than Adam and Eve!
We become entangled with sin every single day!
I don’t care how righteous you think you are!

“You will not certainly die,”
the serpent said to the woman.
“For God knows that when you eat
from it your eyes will be opened,
and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

And this where Satan begins
to twist the truth!
He knew exactly what he was doing!
He knew that anything not attached
to God’s Word is completely evil.

And yet, his sole desire
was to put humans in a position to surely die!

“When the woman saw
that the fruit of the tree was good
for food and pleasing to the eye,
and also desirable for gaining wisdom,
she took some and ate it.
She also gave some to her husband,
who was with her, and he ate it.”

The women immediately experienced temptation.
The fruit of tree became tempting, and she ate it.
Here’s the interesting thing -
Adam was standing right next to her,
and yet, he did not protect her.
He did not tell the serpent to stand back
or go away!
He let the serpent approach her,
entice her, and thus,
Adam fell into the same old trap!

“Then the eyes of both of them
were opened, and they realized they were naked;
so they sewed fig leaves together
and made coverings for themselves.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3:1-7‬

I always found this last verse
an interesting passage.
When Adam and Eve fell into sin,
their eyes opened
and their thoughts, feelings,
perspectives and behaviors changed.

They felt shame, and they thought
their nakedness was bad,
so they hid behind fig leaves.

This reminds me of the story
of the barren fig tree,
where Jesus was very hungry
and saw a fig tree with leaves
growing out of season.

When he approached
he hoped for some fruit, but it was barren.

All humans exist in sin; for sin make up
the very world we live in.
No human is without sin.
And yet, people hide behind leaves all the time.
They make excuses,
create defenses and rationalize.
They do all these things
instead of standing vulnerable
before God, and repenting.

God sees the serpent lurking inside you and me.
He has x-ray vision, and He knows
the intent of your heart!

If it has not happened yet,
it is time to repent and turn back to God.
We must submit and bow before Him -
before it is too late.

We live in a world
where there is so much confusion.
People don’t know
if they are a man or a woman.
Sex and gender
has become one in the same.
And alphabet soup
is the game that is played.
People believe
they control their biology,
and gender has shifted
from a cultural concept
to a physical condition
led by doctors with scalpels
and replacement hormones.

The medical oath that doctors take
is “Do no harm” - no matter what!
And yet we see an exploding business,
led by money and greed,
in the medical community.

And don’t get me started on APA,
the American Psychiatric Association,
and all the therapists who are culturally swayed.

These are the people who encourage our children
to live, love and laugh
under delusional beliefs that are not real.
We even have kids who identify as "furries"
and they belief they are another species -
and everyone seems to think that is okay!

We have come to a place,
called the end of age,
where “what a man thinks”
is more important than what God says.

A man can be a woman;
A woman can be a man;
And a child can be anything they want -
as long as their beliefs are affirmed.

In today’s world,
where many people walk blindly,
marching to the beat of the anti-Christ spirit,
a person who quotes 
from God’s Book of Instruction
is labeled as an unkind, oppressive person.

And when this happens,
it's important for me to remember
what Jesus said,
“the world will hate you
because they first hated me.”

And yet, there are many people like me,
who are willing to risk it all,
to follow the mission
the Lord has laid on their hearts.

The Lord continues to give me words
that I just can not contain.
They come almost every day,
like precious drops of rain.

I am a counselor, and I love everyone,
but I will not change
the Word of God.

I try not to speak harshly,
and I lead with gentleness;
I always leave room for healthy conversation.
But I am submitted to God,
and I will always say,
“it’s God’s Word, not my own.”

Let me ask you this -
How are Christians 
supposed to be a light on a Hill,
if we continually back down,
and hide His Word?

And how do we add salt to a dried up land,
if we continually leave out Word of God?

Where are the seeds that grow God’s trees?
Where are the rivers that flow out of these?

Don’t people know that Peace only comes
when God is in charge?
So why do we keep telling our children
to follow their hearts, when we know
“the heart is the most deceitful of all!”
Jeremiah 17:9

God says,
“My thoughts are higher than your thoughts,
and My ways are higher than your ways.”
Isaiah 55:8-9

So when will learn to trust and obey?

With so much confusion
and delusion in the land,
don’t you think we should be seeking
Holy Spirit understanding and wisdom?

The problem is, it’s not just “the lost,” -
it’s also the leaders, who teach the scripture,
who are leading our children straight into hell!

So many Pastors twist God’s Word,
by focusing on human kindness
and universal love.

They leave out the verses
that share God’s truth
because they don’t want to upset everyone.

You see, until a human gets over trying
to control everything, and appease everyone,
they will continue to quench the Holy One.
1 Thessalonians 5:19

God is the Creator
who made the essence of man, and woman.
He knitted us together in our mother’s womb.

In addition, he separated us from the animals,
so for a person to identify as a “furry” -
is just another delusion of grandeur.

How long are adults going to feed into falsehood?
How long will "Christians" walk in deception? 

The Word of God says,
“The Lord God took the man
and put him in the Garden of Eden
to work it and take care of it.”
He told the man, “You are free
to eat from any tree in the garden;
but you must not eat from the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil,
for when you eat from it
you will certainly die.”

The Lord God said,
“It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a helper suitable for him.”
“Now the Lord God had formed
out of the ground
all the wild animals
and all the birds in the sky.
He brought them to the man
to see what he would name them;
and whatever the man called
each living creature, that was its name.”

“So the man gave names to all the livestock,
the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.
But for Adam, no suitable helper was found.”

“So the Lord caused the man
to fall into a deep sleep;
and while he was sleeping,
he took one of the man’s ribs
and then closed up the place with flesh.”

“Then the Lord made a woman
from the rib he had taken out of the man,
and he brought her to the man.
The man said, “This is now bone
of my bones and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”

“That is why a man leaves
his father and mother
and is united to his wife,
and they become one flesh.”

“Adam and his wife were both naked,
and they felt no shame.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:15-25‬

​Let’s face it,
shame was not an emotion
that humans endured,
until the Fall of Man
that happened in Genesis Chapter 3.

Shame came into being
when the first man and woman disobeyed God.
And this all happened
because they wanted to be like Him.

End of Poem

Special Note:
Let me just say, this is a very hard post.
I work with lots of kids and adults
who struggle with these kinds of thoughts and feelings.
I will always choose love over hate,
and I will always honor a person where they are at.
But, the Lord has placed on my heart
the NEED to share His Word and the truth in love,
no matter what!
