If You Were King (Poem)

In earth, exercising mercy, rightness and justice.

Results achieved through His angelic host accomplice.

This declared Terms of Reference (ToR) for Jesus,¹

Shall soon be directly achieved... through us!

Mercy is His Grace favor, undeserved.

Rightness is what’s right in His sight, reserved.

Justice is His righteous judgments, deserved.

Peering into their sphere, this I observed.

For now, we’re stinging, ‘salty’ reminders of what He calls ‘right’.²

Ahhh, but just you wait! Soon after the ‘Great Tribulation fight’,³

We will be far flung as kings across His vast Kingdom global,

Over regions, nations, cities, towns and areas rural.⁴

During His pending millennial iron rod rule,

Gentile believers will likely be His iron tool,

Projecting His awesome power for global transmutation,

Over all survivors of the awful Great Tribulation.

We, spread over the earth, kings over whom Christ shall be King,

While believer Jews in Jerusalem do their ‘priestly thing’.⁵

So pay close attention as His ToR unfold today,

Because soon, you’ll receive your post-Tribulation world mandate!

Imagine...

You, doing mercy, rightness and justice, iron-handed,

Over post-Tribulation populations, hard-headed.

You, then immortal, governing affairs of mere mortals,

Following the patterns that Jesus to us now models.

Consider this…

As you and I, mortals, now rebel against His rule,

Do you think under your appointment, all will be cool??

Though as an ‘immortal god’ you may appear to them,

Iron rule is only needed where there might be mayhem!

So how to prepare for your millennial appointment,

That from many Scriptures is both pending and apparent? ⁶

Through God’s Word, The Bible, deeply peer and perceive,

How Jesus and Angels their ToR achieve.

Moreover, since a king you were re-born to become,

View your new life as in a ‘practice spectrum’.

‘Exercising mercy, rightness and justice in earth’ is He.

‘Do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with Him’, says He.

Ummm…

Could The Law of Sowing and Reaping extend beyond this life?

If so, follow His advice to minimize your kingdom strife.

After all, when you come into your kingdom that Christ selects,

Isn’t this what you would require... of all your subjects?!

Reader, if you agree with this Bible-based view,

Mentally change the title to, ‘When I AM a King!’

² ‘You [Christian believers] are the salt of the earth…’ (Matthew 5:13)

³  See Matthew 24 and also What is the Great Tribulation?

⁴ If not appointed as a king over a geographic region (Luke 19:17-19), perhaps some of us may be appointed as officials and administrators under an appointed king, to facilitate and project that king’s rule and power.

⁵ See Exodus 19:6

⁶ See Daniel 12:2-3, Psalm 72, Zechariah 14, Revelation 1:6, 5:10 and chapter 20
