Into world history, several friends are steeped.
From ancient-to-modern, they are well read.
Yet into The Holy Bible, most never peeped.
Unwise…
Thus, by The Lord’s wisdom, they are not fed.
Under their ‘carpets of life’, His wisdom they sweep.
Well into the future, The Lord’s prophets could ‘see’.
Whatever they ‘saw’, they both spoke and wrote.
He transformed their ‘word seeds’ into …‘world history’!
Likewise…
Future history shall be what they wrote.
Our faithless ignorance denies this mystery.
In the highest sense, The Bible, essentially,
Is all about prophecy, The Lord’s ‘business card’,
Proof He is exactly Whom He declares to be.
Emphatically…
It is the equivalent of Heaven’s vanguard,
To be received and respected, eminently.
Here’s a thought I invite you to join me in pondering:
What if The Bible is a synopsis of a book,
In Heaven that’s not available for our previewing?
Exhaustively…
Into that Book, would you want to take a prolonged look??
It’s ‘The Scripture of Truth’, our history …prophesying!!! 1
I suspect…
Since we cannot imagine the detailed contents therein,
The Lord ensured we could access …its essence,
But only when we approach it in awe, with discipline.
Reverently…
That’s when The Holy Spirit gives us license,
To transcend ourselves, and perceive into …His dimension.
Let’s reflect…
The Holy Bible may well be His chosen instrument,
To enable us into this essence to peer,
And see His heart for us, and our responses …so indolent. 2
Irreverently…
To reveal to us, from Him how far we all veer,
Yet His longing for us all to return …is incessant.
Perhaps... as if to mirror The Scripture of Truth in Heaven,
The Bible whispers this core message to all humanity:
I, Jesus, AM The Lord God of and over all creation.
What I speak to, and inspire in My prophets is prophecy.
My Words ‘seeded’ history for all coming generations.
Can a tree bear fruit without a seed, and then roots?
Can a baby be born without a dad’s seed and a mom’s womb?
Can books reveal more than what their authors deduce?
What you see is 'My-story', when its rearward you peer & zoom.
I speak en avance, and history …is educed. 3
What I speak previews two broad paths humans may follow:
One is My path of righteousness which yields good results.
The other is of evil, when in sins you wallow.
Denying My word seeds will not change what fruit erupts.
That just portends bitter pills in life you will swallow. 4
Friends…
I implore you to open your ‘eyes’ until you can see,
The Lord’s ‘seeds’ in history’s fruits at which you peer,
Results of our choices between His …two-path policy.
As you peer, may the roots of our choices appear,
And you realize history is …fruits of prophecy.

1 See: Heaven’s Animating Holy Scripts (Poem) and also Daniel 10:21
2 Indolent – slothful, lazy
3 Human history is 'His-story' -- His predictions fulfilled of His two-path policy. En avance – French for in advance. Educe – to develop or bring forth.
4 Any honest and thorough correlation of The Bible with world history undeniably and emphatically demonstrates this point. Mankind is the intentional apex of The Lord’s creation. He has carefully embedded a prophetic choice for each of us to make in shaping our future history.
Ok, I follow and appreciate your perspective -- although I don't interpret everything in such a biblical context.
ReplyDelete…and I appreciate your appreciation. 😇
ReplyDeleteIn your love for history, here’s an idea: Consider studying some of the major prophecies The Lord gave to His prophets in the Old Testament, and then try to correlate them to major issues in world history that interest you. In addition to deepening your interest in history, this might also sharpen your understanding and appreciation for how The Lord implements His grand, multi-millennial strategy for humanity. As noted in this post, human history is essentially the unfolding of …His-story.
