Life in the Key of 'J!': Uncloaking Reality (Poem)

Welcome~

Hello and Welcome~

The world is blind to these SEVEN, pivotal facts:

1. The Bible communicates Heaven’s 'Multi-millennial Strategic Plan for Humanity'.

2. There are SEVEN ages appointed for humanity.

3. We are nearing the end of the THIRD age, a pivotal turning point in this strategy.

4. A GREAT falling away from the Christian faith is predicted during the ending days of this THIRD age, as a result of backsliding, general lukewarmness and outright apostasy among the heretofore faithful. Look around and this you will clearly see.

5. Biblical prophecies have been and remain seeds of human history.

6. Yet-fulfilled prophecies, unfolding apace, are worthy of diligent study.

7. Now is the time to get and stay on ‘the right side of Bible prophecy’.

Uncloaking Reality (Poem)

What do you get when you:

Take spiritual reality,

And cloak it with physicality,

Then take this physicality,

And cloak it with time, spatially?

The results are a momentary actuality,

That belies the truth of spiritual reality.

This false perception of what’s really ‘real’,

Makes us err, and to devils’ lies to heel.

What do you get when God:

Puts His Spirit in Jesus and calls Him, ‘God’,

And puts His Spirit in you, and calls you, ‘god’,

Then tops all this off by calling you ‘God’s fullness’,

And says only that is what He calls righteousness?

The result is [drumroll…] exactly what He calls it! ¹

Yet about these Words of God’s, some have a fit!

Carnal minds are just unable to grasp,

Spiritual things that to them are masked.

God creates perfect, righteous imaginations,

Then speaks Words with His Spirit’s insemination.

When believed, His Words uncloak what He has in mind.

To His spoken Words, physicality will bind.

He calls things that are not yet actual,

And by faith, He ensures their arrival.

This is backed up by works of His angels,

Voila! Faith filled words …and actions. ²

What if He gave us a Book, an uncloaking device,

Histories, stories and poems that convey His advice,

To peel back life’s moment-to-moment actuality,

So we can then ponder what He calls true reality??

And what if He also gave us His Spirit,

By which we could activate His holy writ,

Then assigns us His angels, helpers to sweeten the deal.

With all this, would you still be fooled about …what’s really real?

What we see and experience in this momentary life,

Is just a passing actuality, in darkness, not light.

Since what God calls reality is clearly cloaked from our eyes,

He gave us His Bible Word, so we can see …what life belies.

Ponder the link between ‘believe’ and ‘belie’.

Whatever God calls Truth, life calls it a lie.

Your mission possible, should you decide to accept it,

Is to study, learn, then practice being led by His Spirit.

Then when, like rain, actualities distort your view of Truth,

Just like windshield wipers, JoY will kick in, your spirit to soothe.

Hey, don’t be fooled.

Actualities can only rant and rail.

Your true reality lies …beyond the veil.

Spiritual reality that’s twice cloaked,

Results in lives that to lies are blindly yoked,

Unless it is to God’s Truth that we cleave --

Truth that’s only …actualized when believed.

What God calls, ‘REAL’, is our true reality,
Not our momentary actuality.

¹ In Hebrews 1:8, God calls Jesus, ‘God’, and in Psalm 8:2, He calls mankind, ‘gods’, a point Jesus highlighted in John 10:34. Ephesians 1:22-23 reveals True (not fake) Christians are the fullness of Christ, and 2 Corinthians 5:21 reveals The Church is God’s righteousness in Christ. This refers to born again believers who enjoy an active/living relationship with God through Christ as their Savior. All that is called, ‘church’ in our world today does not necessarily fit God’s rather stringent definition of His Church. For example, see Revelation 3:14-22, Jesus’ stern message to people who are self-deceived about who they really are.

² See: Romans 4:17
