Millennial Casting Calls (Poem)

I imagine…

When God crushed Lucifer’s rebellion in Heaven,

And cast down onto the Earth every devil,

Earth, then righteous, repulsed at their arrival,

That disrupted its part of God’s perfect creation.

In response to her cries and her sad condition,

God dispatched Jesus to set things aright.

Then, to ensure Earth would remain upright,

He created man to block further rebellion.

Man, installed as lord and god over all the Earth,

Higher than angels, righteous, perfectly, ¹

With full planetary authority,

To block devils from depreciating Earth’s worth.

The ‘rest of this story’ you know very well,

How satan tricked Eve, and Adam caved in.

Now all of us grieve our chaos and sin.

On the end story, come let us dwell.

Over every continent, nation, city and town,

Every community, and family therein,

All devils cunningly now spur us to sin.

Increasingly competent, in wickedness we drown. ²

Now imagine all devils – rank and file, skilled,

From Earth locked away, from every last man,

Their evil forays, a thousand years banned.

Let’s imagine the vacuum that then must be filled. ³

To you let me portray, this massive vacuum.

Heaven incubates, and is now scrutinizing,

All candidates Christ will be deputizing.

Recruitment’s underway, from Heaven’s boardroom!

There are key differences, in positions we will fill.

Unlike the subtlety by which devils damnify,

We will have a body, our spirit to signify.

Before the flood, some devils got bodies

against God’s will. ⁴

In bodies immortal, and powers to subjugate,

We’ll govern the Gentile world in Christ’s authority,

And to Him alone have full accountability,

Ruling tribulation mortals who bit satan’s bait. ⁵

For a thousand years, Earth’s spirit will revive.

That’s a very short while in her time,

But enough to return her to prime.

Everything in the environment will thrive.

Across the whole world, no defensive arms.

To their first states, all diets returned.

To mortals, length of days, not just yearned.

Animals reprogrammed, nothing to harm. ⁶

Economic systems then righteously fine-tuned,

Will perfectly balance God’s ordained profit motive,

With His concern for social safety nets, supportive.

Every earthly system, to God’s GLORY attuned! ⁷

If under satan’s governance of life on our planet,

Brought thorns, thistles, sickness, death and life like crud,

And devils getting bodies triggered the flood,

Imagine all things then under Christ’s scepter and signet.

Over every continent, nation, city and town,

Every community, and family therein,

By perfected immortals, all life disciplined,

Restoring life systems that today are upside-down.

So…

In filling this vacuum, for what role(s) might you qualify,

And for a thousand years with angels perform,

When to righteousness, all things on Earth conform,

And Earth, by His glorious presence, Christ will beautify?

For a role in The Lord’s millennial cast,

You must take the first qualifying steps:

Repent of sins, then follow His footsteps.

He will save you when, and just because …you ask.

'What is man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?
And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, and with honour and majesty compassest him.(Young's Literal Translation)

⁵ In this life, The Church (mostly Gentiles) was (a) called out of worldly sinfulness to be saved and know God, (b) then sent back into the sinful world to preach The Gospel of Salvation in Jesus. The Church will later be raptured out of the world, and in The Millennial Reign of Jesus, we will be dispatched across the post-tribulation world to rule, in His authority, over mortals who will survive God’s worst ever judgments on mankind.
