The Coming Lame Blame (Poem)

This poem reviews a trifecta of hasty Jewish immigrations

to the promise land:

two past events, and one more promised event.

The lame blame, our easy way out of any fix,

Our responsibility to duck and deflect,

And point an accusing finger to anybody else!

For some of us, blaming is our primary shtick.

When eyes are on our bad, to others we direct.

I wish satan and Adam had left this trick …on the shelf! ¹

From paupers-to-presidents, sinners and saints alike,

Since Eden, by this trait the human race has been plagued,

And by it, the blamer is the first one who is fooled.

When times are tough, playing the blame game will always spike,

And those who’re gullible will be easy to persuade.

That’s when truth dies, and most deadly deceptions are fueled. ²

Pharaoh’s Egypt and Hitler’s Germany blamed Jews,

As by tough times their nations were severely squeezed.

The capitalists and communists blamed each other,

For their roles in lighting the hot-and-cold war fuse.

When a virus gave the whole world a new disease,

Some folk decided …another country to clobber! ³

Yep! 

The spirit of blame is alive and well,

Still reaping untold havoc all across our world.

But what we’ve seen in the past, and now see today,

Is just practice run for …the coming bombshell,

The great tribulation that The Bible heralds.

Imagine all the blame in that global melee!

Onto this God-rejecting world, He promises to send,

Judgments to destroy so much of all that we hold dear:

People, waters, animals, trees, grass, ships, moon, 

sun and stars! ⁴ 

Spiritually, it’s satan’s kingdom He will upend,

But to perceive physical blame at that time austere,

Only takes a peek to see clues in history’s scars.

‘To regather all Jews into the promised land,

Into Gilead and Lebanon, til there’s no more room’,

Before all hell breaks loose, this is what 

The Lord has promised. 5

To achieve this, will flames of racism be fanned,

As when by harsh judgments the land of Egypt 

was doomed, 

And by a failed economy, Germany was menaced?? 6

Jesus defeated satan, then God raised Him from the dead,

And established a new covenant and new ‘promise land’:

Salvation in Christ for a new group called, The Church.

Unable to strike at God, satan struck The Church instead.

With The Church’s absence after The Lord’s 

‘rapture command’,

At whom do you think hurting folks, in blame will lurch??? 7

Friend, these three, clear, stark examples, historical,

May reveal a pattern that’s allegorical,

To make us ponder how God’s promises might be achieved.

When Jews were blamed in two nations hysterical,

They left in haste, in heated flames, prejudicial,

And again in haste they’ll flee, if Isaiah is believed! ⁸

But not too long after this, the picture shall flip:

In grace, the world will carry Jews to Israel,

Just as it helped them after Hitler’s blunder.

According to what’s written in God’s Bible script,

All Jews at that time will be considered ‘special’:

Treat them well, and with Jesus, curry favor!

Whether you may or may not agree, trust me on this, please:

Human nature is what it is, and will always be so,

And temptations to blame others for our faults shall remain.

To exploit this trait in us, devils have great expertise,

And in tribulation, they’ll be an even greater foe!

When the going gets tough, lame folks don’t get going.

They blame!

¹ satan tempted Adam to blame Eve for his sinful disobedience. See: Genesis 3:12

² Ponder this: Are you among the gullible?

³  The U.S. blamed China for the novel virus, Covid-19.

⁴ In his attempted coup d’etat in Heaven, Lucifer, who became satan, convinced a third of God’s holy angels to rebel. As a result, they forever became devils and demons, and have plagued us and our world since Eden. The Book of Revelation 13 times predicts God’s "one-third of A, B, C...X, Y, Z" judgments. See: Revelation 8 and 9. See also: Lost Angels Not for Like-Angels

⁵ See: Zechariah 10:10 and many other Old Testament affirmations of this promise. NB: At the publication of this post, Lebanon is an independent nation without an official government, and Gilead is a part of Jordan. What does this verse suggest to you, geo-politically?

⁶ Both nations blamed the Jews for their woes. See: Exodus 12 and also Hitler’s Anti-Semetism: Why Did He Hate the Jews?

⁷ God promises His true saints will be immortals, not only  for a short time after the next predicted, global resurrection and rapture, but eternally. This will happen in two stages: during and after Millennial Reign. (Revelation 20 - 22) See: The Millennial Reign (Series), and also The Rapture (Series)). See: Anti-Semitism (Poem) for an explanation of why/how satan persecutes Israel and The Church of true, not fake or Christianesque Christ-believers.

⁸ See: Exodus 12:11, 33, and Isaiah 49:14-26, especially verse 17. Also see the prediction Jesus made in Matthew 24:9 that all nations will one day hate Jews! Jews left ancient Egypt in haste. They left Germany in relative haste to become refugees in other European nations, then left for their own new state in 1948. God promises many Jews will once again flee in haste to the promise land before or possibly during the great tribulation. See: Booty, Pre/Post Millennial Reign (Series). Those who remain elsewhere at the start of the Millennial Reign will be gracefully brought to the significantly EXPANDED Israel by Gentile tribulation survivors. Isiah 26: 20-21 and Zechariah 10:10 outline the pre-tribulation scenario for the Jews, and Isaiah 49: 22-26 and Isaiah 60 outline the post-tribulation scenario. The fortunes of mortal, righteous Jewish remnants (per Zephaniah 3:8) who will survive the apocalypse, will suddenly FLIP!!!
