THE PROMISE

Picture
Wise fools abound these days 
standing proudly over cities of decay.
They drive around wagging their flags
like vicious dogs chasing their tails.
Barking “victory” into the land,
rubble and ruin -
as far as the eye can scan.
But what they do not see,
or understand
is they destroy the salt of the land -
leaving the taste of life
so dull and bland.
The sound of gunfire is all you hear
as people run away scared
Death and destruction everywhere,
citizens living in chronic fear. 
Oh, the atmosphere
where wise fools are found
becomes polluted
when they are crowned.
They use their force
to push their way,
they lead the rebellious
who’ve gone astray.
They bring dismay
into the land,
and fill their trucks
with ambitious men
as if they were in high demand.
They fight for a cause
that is dead.
They decapitate the living
taking their heads.
They hate the wise
who serve the Great I Am.
They eat the flesh
and swallow it whole,
they cough up the bones
then spit them on the floor.
In their gluttony,
these wise fools do grow -
never satisfied
always wanting more.
They pile their plates
with heaps of ruin -
they dig right in
and become
what they consume.
Without truth
they create their own doom.
They fulfill their desires
becoming the objects
they admire;
spiritually blinded,
they don't realize
what has transpired.
This is how Satan works
by pulling out tricks 
such as this.
He leads men to believe
they can follow their ways,
He incites them to pursue
what they crave.
Since God gave dominion to them,
Satan tantalizes them to act in their sin.
Those who withstand
by submitting to God
will surely enter
the Promised Land. 
This land of Joy
will only be seen
when Christ our King
makes his second coming.
In the meantime, 
the Sword of the Lord
is coming for them,
ready to pierce
these foolish men.
The sword will be drenched
In the blood and the fat;
of wise fools
who refuse to retract.
In that day
when Jesus comes back
he will be exact
with what he extracts
The Land of Nothing
will be reversed
when the our Creator 
reverses the curse.
It will happen
sooner than we think -
when these wise fools
will be sent
​to the place of weeping
and gnashing their teeth.
At that time,
we will come to see
there was always a plan
to reveal God’s mysteries.
The Book of Revelation
will unfold 
just as it was told. 
The wasteland
will come alive
when dry bones
are given life.
Living water
will gush within
the land that once
was full of dry beds.
Flowers will shoot
from the earth
all that was dead
will have rebirth.
And just like a path
was created in a sea,
for the captives 
who were set free.
A highway will appear
for the ones who feared
God over Satan's sphere.
The Highway to Holiness
will be glorious
when it appears
out of nowhere.
Angels will line the streets of gold,
as the chosen ones are guided to
their house of hope.
On that day,
there will be great victory
when we see
how to the blood of Christ 
truly set us free.
Wise fools
will have withered away
never to exit
​ another day.
But those who love God
will receive a great portion,
for God will remember them 
by their faith and devotion.
