Understanding Eden (Poem, Part 1)

 

See the series here

In the beginning, God created all things, perfectly.

For and by His Son, Jesus, they all were created. ¹

With mankind in Eden, He finished His works, blissfully,

 After satan and devils fell from Grace, degraded!

When He was done, before The Lord took His due rest,

He spent time with Adam, training him for his job.

As lord of Eden, he was glorified and blessed.

So with The Lord, Adam and Eve got to ...hobnob! 

 

The Earth, enjoying her creation perfection,

After on her satan and all devils had landed,

This, following their Heaven-wide insurrection.

But again, by evil, she would soon be upended!

In just about a thousand years, Adam was dead,

The price of his willful, sinful disobedience.

In that short time, all across the land, sin had spread.

Man’s first millennium, stained by people’s imprudence.

To purge the Earth of man’s disdainful stain,

All life would be slain by a flood The Lord would send, ²

But to one household, Grace He would ordain.

In these twin blows to Earth, do you perceive a trend??

From both the fall of all devils, and sins of all mankind,

Earth took the full impacts, cosmically, spiritually.

In both, The Lord responded with His works, by God assigned,

Twice returning Earth to creation perfection, awesomely! ³

By His Earth works, after there, devils had fallen,

The Lord blessed both the Earth and man …Eden, garden-like.

By His flood works, that removed the Earth’s sin’s burden,

Once again, The Lord blessed them both …the world, Eden-like.

Yet twice more, in The Bible it is well-predicted,

That The Lord will bless both the Earth and man.

After with tribulation they both are afflicted,

He’ll return, all sin and devils to ban. ⁴

As global Sovereign, with His saints, for a thousand-year span,

Jesus will again refresh Earth to her creation glory.

From before creation, all along, this was God’s hidden plan:

For a thousand years, Earth and man in His …third Eden story.

Friends, this is likely the purpose of Christ’s Millennial Reign,

To achieve what’s portrayed in two Eden histories,

After under sin’s heavy weight, both the Earth and man did strain:

Creational beauty and bliss …after tragedies.

So let’s review:

The first Eden was a garden, before man’s sins.

The second was Earth, after the flood God had purposed.

The third will be Earth, after Armageddon ends.

That’s not all. The wise know a fourth Eden is promised!

So could God’s garden have been a mere seed,

For fruits that human history would bring forth,

Three times of bliss after His judgments deeds,

Three Edens pointing to …an eternal fourth??

Descendants of those in Eden 1 and 2 we all must be,

And ancestors of those who will inhabit Eden 3.

Only for born-again saints who from sin's wages Christ set free,

Has God reserved Eden 4 …throughout eternity! ⁵

Question: Do you have your reservation?

NB: While most writings on the Garden of Eden focus on mankind’s fall from Grace. Eden is much more about The Lord doing exactly what He said He does:

I am in the Earth exercising Grace, Judgment and Righteousness.

(Jeremiah 9:23-24)

Think: Each of His four Eden-type experiences …follow judgments! The first Eden followed judgments on fallen angels. The second Eden-type followed global judgments on sinful man, and removed sinfulness from the Earth. The third Eden-type, at the end of the Armageddon War, will follow global tribulation judgments. The fourth Eden-type will follow the Great White Throne Judgment of all humans who will have ever lived, and who rejected God’s Grace-based salvation. 

Like I said: THINK!

A Seed in the Ground (Poem)

Unless a seed falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone.

But if it dies, it produces much fruit.

(John 12:24)

Unless a seed falls into the ground and dies, 

It will remain alone.

With God’s promise that from the dead He would rise,

Christ died, sins to atone.

But when that seed dies, a harvest it will yield,

Fruits bearing like-seeds in great abundance,

Many seeds that will be dispersed far afield.

Of this, let’s ponder the significance.

Christ’s death, resurrection and the fruits thereof,

Illustrate God’s preferred way to be glorified,

Birthing His will below, from His Throne above:

His seed, time, and harvest principle, fructified.

Martin Luther King had a deep-rooted dream,

Of America, someday just and fair.

In the hearts of many folks, his dream would gleam.

In the end, it laid our nation’s soul …bare!

In most Americans, his dream attracted their ire,

At thoughts of all us minorities ascending,

And fears of whites descending from their high, lofty spire,

About ‘We, the people…’, they were just pretending! ¹

Those hate-filled thoughts and fears inflamed,

Moved some folks to kill America’s dreamer,

Hoping his dream would be defamed,

But ignorant of God, The Dream Redeemer!

Perhaps they didn’t imagine Dr. King was merely a seed.

Who encapsulated the DNA,

To birth what America’s founders long ago had decreed,

That which racism had so long delayed.

Into the ground, Dr. King was planted, physically,

Across the land, all hell broke loose by folks neglected.

Unseen, his dream’s DNA unleashed, spiritually,

Producing a vast system of roots, well-connected.

From this seed and its roots, early harvests gave encouragement,

But to their hate-filled thoughts and fears many reverted.

Forty years on, despite massive voter disenfranchisement,

America’s first black president was elected.

America, 

To each Heaven-sent seed, God instills DNA inside.

When DNA is expressed, a root system He then assigns.

Fruitful harvests are ordained as long as the roots abide.

Fruit quality always improves in latter years, His designs.

Minorities across America, keep GROWING!!!

‘Every prideful mountain and hill will be humbled,

And every valley will be exalted.’ ²

America’s racist pride will surely crumble,

Then justice will cease to be assaulted.

Tribulation Age Journalists (Poem, Part 4, Jesus’ 1st Press Conference)

See the series here

Imagine the aftermath of the 1st Gog and Magog War and the Armageddon War...

That loud ECHO heard across the land of Israel,

Was the voice of Jesus and Company, invading Earth,

Signaling the start of a new age, His will to assert.

With one word, the invading soldiers dissolved, surreal! (Zechariah 14, Revelation 19)

Journalists embedded with this 5-army coalition, (Ezekiel 38)

Were spared, since against Israel, they did not fight,

But recorded and published the soldiers tough plight.

Now, what other role might they play in The Lord’s Earth invasion?

After the initial shock and awe has settled,

Might they be among those folks whom Jesus gives prominence,

In His first Millennial Reign global press conference,

His first words to all folks who against Him rebelled??

If you use your own imagination, so keen and vivid,

What do you perceive this press conference might cover,

As before this God-Man, folks the world over shudder??

Here’s my take. Let me know if some of your notions are listed:

To Christ’s Palace, tribulation journalists are called,

High and lifted up, some critical insights to gain,

With reporters from Israel, which is now a plain, (Zechariah 14)

To see and hear a global king Who is self-installed. (Luke 1)

Standing in awe, beholding a Palace not made with hands, (Ezekiel 40-47)

They gaze upon His exceedingly fierce countenance,

Then fall on their knees, in awe of His radiance, (Ezekiel 1, 8, Daniel 10, Revelation 1)

Before Him and His great entourage that around Him stands. (Zechariah 14)

An emerald rainbow around His Throne fills the room, and beyond. ¹

His now calming voice greets and bids them to rise and be seated.

Then He proceeds with His message to the world He defeated:

Greetings all people of the world. A new age on Earth has just dawned.

I am Jesus Christ, The Lord God, Messiah of Israel. (Zechariah 12, John 19)

God, My Father, created all things, and all things We imbue.

He created them through, by and for Me, and that includes you. (Hebrews 1, 2)

He is Spirit. I am Spirit, flesh, bone, no blood, eternal. (Luke 24, Hebrews 7)

My faithful saints from across the ages are just as I am. (1 John 3)

Father dispatched Us to serve Him on Earth at this time.

For one-thousand years, I will be King, Father’s design, (Revelation 20)

Because you rejected My sacrifice for sins, Father’s Lamb.

(John 1, Revelation 5, 7)

The Christian Bible is indeed The Living Word of God. (Hebrews 4)

I inspired, and then sustained it over the ages,

To show you My love, and show you Me on its pages. (John 5)

You rejected it and Me. Now you’re under My iron rod!

To date, all prophecies of Me are fulfilled since Adam.

In their time, all remaining prophecies shall be as well. (John 19, Revelation 17)

And yes, Heaven is very, very real, and so is hell.

(Matthew 13, 25, Luke 16, Revelation 20)

Study My Bible to see what you missed, and what’s to come. (2 Timothy 2)

Governments at all levels are immediately dissolved. (Daniel 2, Isaiah 2, Micah 4)

My faithful saints will form and direct brand new governments, (Luke 19)

Reporting to Me, and to which I demand adherence.

At their discretion alone, select locals will be involved. 

Members of the tribulation government are no more. (Luke 19)

Earth has been cleared of all devils and demons. (Revelation 20)

I command the destruction of all weapons.

There will be no warfare, study of war or fighting corps. (Isaiah 2, Micah 4)

We will direct all disaster rehab work.

Soon you’ll note no animal or insect is a threat,

As they all revert to their first diet and mindset. (Isaiah 11, 65)

Thus, I will refresh and renew all the Earth. (Matthew 19, Romans 8, Psalm 104)

With Me on Earth, religions are not needed and are barred. (Isaiah 2)

All people of Jewish heritage: migrate to Israel! (Isaiah 26, 51, 60, 61)

To Jerusalem each year, all family reps must travel,

To join in My Feast of Tabernacles in My ‘vast yard’. 

(Ezekiel 38:5 - 6, Zechariah 12:9, 14:16 - 19)

After several millennia of sinfulness on Earth,

She will have a long and much needed break. ²

Your sins, therefore, We will not tolerate! (Isaiah 26)

Learn righteousness! Then take care all My commandments not to shirk.

My government will launch a global currency,

To replace disparate, failed, national, fiat currencies, ³

With clear links between righteousness and economies. (Zechariah 14)

Let’s be clear. My iron rod rule means no clemency!!! (Psalm 2, Revelation 2, 12,19)

With one pure language, I will soon reunite all people. (Zephaniah 3)

So don’t be shocked when this materializes.

You’ll perceive the harmony this symbolizes, (Genesis 11)

A unified Kingdom, over a united people. ⁴

In the coming days, We will have much more to share with you.
And in My next press conference, I will take some questions.

          Journalists and Reporters:

Receive this day’s pass to My Palace’s public sections.

By the way, how do you like My rainbow’s…emerald hue??

(Ezekiel 1, 8, Revelation 1)

Thanks for your attendance.

Friends, I hope you see in this series, my imagination,

How embedded journalists in promise land invasions,

Could aid Jesus' long predicted Earth invasion,

Starting His reign with a press conference …not a coronation.

¹ See: wOw! Earth Filled! (Series) and also Revelation 1

² A millennial sabbath

³ A hard money currency based on gold and silver See: Isaiah 60 and also Hard Money Policy. Many economies will likely have collapsed from the weight of the tribulation plagues, heavy migrations, and disaster-related economic and financial manipulations by the rich and powerful.

⁴ Reverting to life somewhat as it was pre-Tower of Babel. See: Genesis 11. There are some indications Earth may revert to a single land mass, making it easier to govern the tribulation remnant peoples and their off-spring who will be born during the Millennial Reign.
