Universe
multi-dimensional?
That’s quantum
physics, debatable.
Some say, ‘Stick to what’s discernible!’
In faith, I’ll
stick to what The Bible says.
This is what I see when on it I gaze:
By faith, it’s The Mind of Christ,
synopsized.
Believe It, Become Love-Evangelized.
(B.I.B.L.E.)
It’s God’s message
to humanity,
Encompassing all our history,
Summarizing life’s complexity:
Life, Internship for Eternity.
(L.I.F.E.)
Cloaked within its allegorical streams,
Encompassing all our history,
Summarizing life’s complexity:
Life, Internship for Eternity.
(L.I.F.E.)
Cloaked within its allegorical streams,
Is one message that
to me loudly screams.
It spans the totality
of life’s spectrum,
And thus informs the
title of this poem.
To us, God intends
quite decidedly,
Four Delegations of
Authority. (DOA) 1
They’re in His plan
to reverse sin’s calamity,
And restore righteousness
on Earth, sustainably.
Earth, created in a
perfect, righteous state.
One perfect couple held the key to her
fate.
Thus, God’s 1st DOA to them was
appointed.
And with it, by His power
they were anointed.
DOA #1:
Jesus created Earth
and in it, pre-pared a Garden. 2
He then created a
gardener, whom He called human,
To tend and also grow
this garden globally. 3
But due to man’s sin,
this plan failed …miserably!
Jesus judged their
sin and from His garden, cast them out! 4
Things got worse when
fallen angels started acting out!
Leaving their angelic
domain, with humans they mated,
Until by a flood, all
except eight were inundated! 5
The pristine,
post-flood world then set the stage,
For Jesus to turn His
DOA page.
He took His good time
for DOA #2.
Stay tuned. In Part
2, what I see I’ll share with you.
Can you perhaps guess what was DOA #2?

1 While some may see these DOAs as commands, it is important to note God's Word carries His enabling, creative power to accomplish what He speaks. Juxtaposing this with His respect for the human will, what He speaks into our lives will only be achieved as we agree with Him in faith-filled words and actions. Hence, His Word is essentially His authority and power, to us delegated.
2 Listen in on a conversation God had with Jesus: …But to the Son [Jesus], He [God] says: ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions. You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the Earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; and they will all grow old like a garment; like a cloak, You will fold them up, and they will be changed. But You are the same, and Your years will not fail.’ (Hebrews 1:8:12. See also Hebrews 1:1-2.)

3 So God [through
Jesus] created man in His own image; in the image of God [in the form of Jesus], He created
him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God
said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue
it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and
over every living thing that moves on the earth.’ (Genesis 1:27-28)
4 Then Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Most
assuredly, I say to you… The Father judges no one, but has committed
all judgment to the Son…’ (John 5:22)
5 See: Genesis 6 – 9
