'The tough get going when the going gets tough’, so we’ve heard.
But here is a notion that deeply in my heart is stirred:
When times get tough, I mean really tough,
The weak succumb to those who are rough!
If to this notion you might agree,
Come, imagine this picture with me.
In the promised, coming great tribulation,
The poor and weak may face quick termination!
To pare down the human race, significantly,
Is what God promises to do, punitively. 1
So if quickly from life the poor and weak are dismissed,
It’s ‘the worst of the worst’ that the world then will consist!
The worst of the worse! That’s whom I figure,
Those who will be cursed, and who will feature,
As brute folks who’ll do their best to dodge,
The Lord’s tribulation plagues barrage.
In their frantic escapes, migratory,
More griefs in another territory.
Many will perish, others horrified,
When they’ll try, but won’t die by suicide! 2
It’s ‘the worst of the worst’ in the aftermath,
Who’ll still be standing when The Lord ends His wrath.
To these worst folks who will have rejected His saving Grace,
He’ll extend MORE GRACE to sow seeds to a new human race!!!
Imagine that!!!
Having ‘weeded out’ folks who were weak and obstinate,
Earth will be left with those who are the most obdurate,
Still branded with 'the mark of the beast', bona fide,
Some bearing signs of their attempted suicide.
It’s over these worst folks, glorified saints will rule,
Under the ambit of Jesus Christ’s iron rod tool.
A mad and rough bunch they will surely be,
Having survived God’s worst in history!
Exhausted from years of harsh, punitive blows,
Will they submit, or continue to oppose?
With invitations to God’s tabernacle feasts,
In Grace, He will offer some ‘tabernacle suites.’ 3
Imagine the children they may have later on,
Asking them about the strange body marks they own.
Will their kids blame them for Christ’s tough iron rod rule?
By their descendants, will they be ridiculed?
As you ponder how these folks will someday transition,
To the Millennial Reign from the tribulation,
What other aspects of their lives would you envision,
And how would you draw this poem to its conclusion??
Friends,
Within you, what emotions may now be stirring?
What prayers for these folks you should be praying?
Across the world, some parents somewhere are right now raising,
Either these folks or their descendants -- their family string.
What if you, in a step of faith, could plant a tiny seed,
From which The Lord would grow fruits, somebody,
someday to lead,
To escape the awful, hellish experience,
Of His promised great tribulation turbulence?
Would you?

1 By just three plagues, a third of mankind will be killed. (Revelation 9:18) Other plagues will directly and indirectly kill many people across the world, including ALL soldiers from 5 nations who will fight in 1st War of Gog and Magog. (Ezekiel 38) So imagine the small proportion of humanity who will survive the global Armageddon War, and who will transition into The Millennial Reign. My guess: Enough to sire and birth new generations of humans during The Millennial Reign. (See: Revelation - Future Attacks in Israel) and also Humans, Rare on the Earth (Series))
2 In those days, men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them. (Revelation 9:6)
3 See: A Forced Reconciliation (Poem), Ezekiel 38:5 - 6 and Zechariah 10:10
While it is not clear who might participate in The Lord's annual Feast of Tabernacles, it is clear that representatives of all surviving/remnant families in nations that fought against Israel, presumably in the 1st War of Gog and Magog, will be commanded to attend these annual feasts. (Zechariah 12:9, 14:16-19 and Ezekiel 38:5 - 6) Irrespective of the size and scale of these annual feasts, folks must stay somewhere, right?!
