God is Love and is also full of Grace.
He’s also Judge
Ultimate as much as He’s Love.
News of Him
today seeks this to erase.
Rest assured,
such news is not from Heaven above.
Despite God’s
pleas, ‘Repent and reform!’
Mankind is sinful,
thus to us Grace is extended.
When Grace runs
out, He sends judgment storms,
By these
storms, sinful ways are upended!
After over a
thousand years of loving Grace,
God used a
global flood to punish the wicked.
He saved eight
remnant souls before Earth was defaced.
Thus, for a
while on Earth, man’s sin had been stunted.
Then
eventually, the remnant’s posterity,
Repeated the same exact pattern as others before:
Sin abounds.
Grace ends. Judgments are sent, reluctantly.
But God told
Noah never again on Earth floods He’d pore!
So let’s take a
peek at what He told Ezekiel: 1
Famines, wild
beasts, the sword and pestilences,
Would be how He
executes His judgment schedule,
Targeting
persistent sin preferences.
Since then it
is on Jesus Christ that God has poured His full wrath,
Payment for all
of our sins - past, present and future.
Yet in our
world these henchmen are still at play. You do the math!
As wages,
various forms of death, sins still garner!
Pax wars
subjugate nations by their militia,
A prideful hegemon
that itself is later judged. 2
The first God-ordained
pax was Pax Babylonia.
Now is Pax
Americana, and by pride it’s smudged.
Weather and
seismic events of major consequences,
Dot all of
Earth’s lands with increasing incidence.
Pestilences
against which there’re declining defenses.
Beasts with
less fear of man, much more than a nuisance.
Of these 4
severe, punishing judgments, my Friend,
One is most
active across our world, by far.
There’s no
continent, no nation where it hasn’t been.
It is the sword,
more commonly known as war.
Today, wars
encompass much more than just militia.
Trade, cyber,
space, and intellectual property,
Are other
spheres in which we hear increasing ‘war mantra’,
Each fought to
increase national pangs and poverty.
In the last
days, Christ warned of wars and rumors of such,
But He gave no
clues of how long ‘last days’ would last!
He causes both wars and peace, The Bible says as
much. 3
Reading this,
are you surprised, or perhaps aghast??
About paxes, here
is a persistent pattern I note:
Between wars that start and end them,
they have all been sandwiched!
About Pax Messianica,
here’s ‘The Bible’s endnote’:
By wars it will
be sandwiched, and
...the most ever
enriched! 4
As Sovereign...
God still
ordains and calls forth nation paxes,
To subdue
peoples and resources alike.
He calls them
to serve as His battle-axes! 5
They don’t need
to know Him. They’re just called
...to strike!

1 See: Ezekiel 14:12-23. See also: Four Henchmen, Explained. Also it is worth noting how God depicts world hegemon governments as being like wild beasts! (See: Daniel 8. The USA is the current global hegemon government, and China is the wanna be hegemon.)
2 Hegemon is a country
that practices hegemony -- leadership, predominance, domination or
expansionism by one nation over other nations.
3 See: Isaiah 46:7, Amos 3:6, Deuteronomy 32: 39-43 and 1 Samuel 2:6
4 Pax Messianica, otherwise known as the
Millennial (1,000-year) Reign of Jesus Christ over all the Earth, will be
sandwiched between the 1st (Ezekiel 38) and 2nd (Revelation 20:7-10) Wars of Gog and Magog). See: God’s
Inferred Strategic Timelines, and Peace
On Earth? Hell No! (Poem). Isaiah 60 and Zechariah 14 reveal that Pax
Messianica will be exceedingly rich. Ezekiel 38 and 39 reveal the basis for the first War of Gog and Magog will be to capture riches accumulated in Israel
during the tribulation plagues when it will have been largely protected.
5 God used both King
Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon as His 'battle axe' to punish sinful nations.
Then He subsequently used and King Cyrus of Medo-Persia as His battle axe
to punish Babylon. See: Jeremiah 51 and also ‘What
Every Person Should Know About War’
