Then They Will Know (Poem, Part 2)

Into the ring, a new flu virus stepped, un-recognized,

Then quickly morphed into the Spanish Flu pandemic.

In two years, countless souls globally had been eulogized,

Because folk denied, then minimized dangers. Classic!

They tried everything they could think of, much too late.

Just as quickly as it started, the pandemic ended. ¹

And now today folk wonder, ‘What might be our fate?,’

As by another new virus our lives are upended. ²

[Selah~]

Trying everything we can think of, as in ages past,
From scientific advice, to just plane ole hunches,
Yet failing to stop and ponder …whether of God to ask.
Many only do this when suffering life’s punches.

Today, science and the stocks have become the gods,
That we consult and heavily lean upon,
Lumping The Almighty in with the fake news frauds.
No wonder some react to Him with …a yawn.

With powerful microscopes, into the unknown we peer,

To expand ‘scientific doctrines’ in which we trust.

But science is limited to the physical frontier,

Incapable of perceiving what God says …we must!

There’s a realm into which microscopes can’t see,
restricted,

Our ‘parent realm’ from which derive all things physical.

Only in God’s Holy Bible is this realm
depicted.

Denying it, we’re blind to His realm, spiritual.

Viruses transmit through moisture bits between us passed,

And that settle on surfaces we jointly touch.

Today, it’s through data bits much sinfulness is masked.

To every opportunity to sin, we clutch.

[Selah~]

Though more prepared for punches from forces biological,

Given our science and our affluence financial,
We remain largely blind to punches from those spiritual,
Because we reject God’s sage advice in His Bible.

While we can’t see all foes biological,

We can see horrible damages some cause.

We can see many sins, diabolical,
Yet we’re prone to deny damages they cause!

Friends, carefully listen to Heaven’s voice,

God’s message in this Age of His Grace,

To each of us He’s offering a choice.

Here’s the message I hope you’ll embrace:

Both Heaven and Earth have a serious problem.

Both relate to ‘carrying capacity’,

But they are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

The problem is about …their citizenry.
Listen,

Given lifestyles today, Earth is over-populated, ³

Unable to sustain payloads procreated.

But it is these very lifestyles, when exacerbated,

That have rendered Heaven …under-populated!

Clinging to your sinful lifestyles with ardor,

You ignore warnings of payment eternal.

You reject Heaven’s citizenship offer,

While to fake news about it, you’re gullible.

~o~

Friends,

If it is mostly in suffering life’s punches,

That Heaven can capture the world’s attention,

Rather than every Heavenly thing that blesses,

Could more punches address …both situations?  ⁴

So,

Will we then know …He is The Lord???

³ The Bible predicts a significant proportion of the human race will perish during God’s harsh tribulation judgments at the end of this Age of Grace, just before Jesus returns with His born-again saints and angels to rule over tribulation survivors and their offspring for 1,000 years. To you, does this sound like a major de-population strategy?? It clearly does to me!!

⁴ NB: While Earth’s population is determined by births and deaths, Heaven’s population is not increased by human deaths. Rather, it is increased by individual choices to embrace God’s salvation grace in Jesus as Lord and Savior. Sadly, it is decreased by formerly righteous people embracing wicked ways. (See: Ezekiel 33:12-20; then Ezekiel 18:23, 32 and 33:11)
