Ages Transitions Global Judgments
A key parallel between the flood and the tribulation,
Is that they both serve as The Lord’s ‘age transition triggers'.
Ergo, by these, all human history is then transitioned.
Since each transition has some rather distinct precursors,
Let’s take time to study and know what, for us, He has fashioned,
Let’s first look back, then forward down history’s corridors.
From the first-to-second ages, the flood sparked the transition.
The fourth age ‘bridges’ The Lord’s …third-to-fifth age oath.
Essentially, that’s a key purpose of the tribulation.
Both respond to mankind’s exponential sin growth.
What was the trigger for His first ‘age transition decision’?
On what should we keep both sets of our eyes henceforth? 1
While a key precursor to the flood is well known to be,
How some devils became human and married women,
Curiously, Moses focuses on …women’s beauty!
Since devils were on Earth before Adam was fashioned,
What’s the link between them seeing women as lovely,
And exponential growth of human population?! 2
These marriages produced giants upon the Earth,
And spiritually corrupted the human race.
When The Lord saw only one man with ‘righteous worth’,
That’s when He determined humanity to erase,
And to His second strategic age to give birth.
To His next judgment transition, this was …the preface!!! 3
Searching for parallelisms between these two transitions,
I first pondered ‘modern day giants’ that beset us,
Then population growth and women’s beauty Moses mentioned.
Let’s explore these precursors to seek a consensus,
And about The Lord’s strategic plan, seek to be enlightened.
In drawing conclusions, I will try to be cautious.
Today’s giants?
Modern day giants that beset us are too many to name,
So I will list just a few. Let me know if you agree:
--Huge, anything-for-profit corporations that can’t be tamed
--Cross-border crime syndicates that promote vice haughtily
--Tri-level, tax-hungry governments, that seek power and fame
--Military complexes that grow, uncontrollably
--Rampant demand for illicit drugs, thus untold lives inflamed
--Unparalleled international connectivity
--Cultures, by social media, manipulated and maimed
These are the 7 top giants that in the world I see.
So many others remain cloaked, but you likely know their names.
To these, we are ‘married’, reluctantly or happily! 4
These and many other giants in our world today,
Cast dark shadows across our societal fabric.
Imagine their influences on social mores,
When devilish seeds of corruption become centric,
Then rapidly spread as if they’re on an expressway!
The Lord sees when, to many, this becomes …didactic.
Population growth link?
Human population is now some 8 billion, plus,
That’s the largest Earth has ever ‘hosted’ in this age!
Given our patterns of consumption, it’s obvious,
That we very seriously need to …turn the page!
But the ‘haves’ want more, and the ‘have-nots’ want to catch up!
Moreover, to Earth’s sin load, most of us …are not sage! 5
The combination of rapid population growth,
And explosive technological progress,
Yields more sinful people and more ways to sin, betrothed!
To this ‘marriage’, ALL devils loudly say, YES!!!!!!
At some point, folks’ cups of iniquity overflow.
That when The Lord’s Grace to humans …will egress. 6
Women’s beauty link?
At first glance, the ‘women-and-beauty’ link ‘threw me for a loop’!
Women tend to outlive men in most every generation. 7
And as they age, their youthful beauty they desire to recoup.
In the first age, women were ‘duped by devils admiration’.
In this third age, it’s men and other women, some women dupe,
When, while attracting men, they encounter fierce competition! 8
Thank God, to attract a man, all women are not so hungry.
Do you perceive other aspects of life today that suffice,
As plausible, parallel triggers in Moses history?
Ever wondered what happened to Apostle Peter’s advice,
For women to focus more on inner, not outer beauty? 9
Today, for sure, by devils, both women and men are enticed!!!
Additionally…
Jesus and Paul gave us these tribulation precursors:
Lukewarm believers falling away, global lawlessness,
Many famines, pestilences and earthquake disasters,
Wars and rumors of more, deceiving prophets, lovelessness,
Israel regathered, The Gospel preached the world over.
The rapture of the saints, our world, egregious! 10
To these precursors, may we all be attentive,
With both sets of our God-given eyes,
To escape devilish deceptions, creative.
Ponder and share what this poem implies.
So life will become more prospective.
And over none of these things will you agonize.
Rich blessings~

Post script: Here’s an after thought on how something that is currently happening, or will happen with women could potentially be, or become a precursor for the next global judgment. In his wisdom, satan deceived Eve in order to steal man’s role as lord over the Earth. (Genesis 3:1-7) Hundreds of years later (in the first millennium), a contingent of angels ‘left their proper domain’, married women, and produced giants across the Earth. Women were deceived, again. Several millennia later, Apostle Peter referred to women as ‘the weaker vessel’. (1 Peter 3:7) There are many interpretations of this. Take a look at my list of ‘modern giants’ above, then add your list to mine, and ponder this: which sex is likely most negatively impacted, spiritually, by ‘giants’ on our combined list …and why?? Here’s my perception: Over thousands of years, devils have well honed their skills manipulating humans, and they know what works ….best. Moreover, the majority of humans on Earth today …don’t even believe they exist!

1 The Lord’s two global judgments are also His ‘age transition’ triggers. Just as the flood triggered the transition from the pre-flood-to the-post-flood age, it is the short tribulation age that will trigger the transition from the Church Age-to the-Millennial Reign age. Both sets of our eyes refers to our physical and spiritual eyes.
2 See: Genesis 6:1-2. It is oddly curious how and why Moses phrased verse 1 as he did, as if these events might have somehow triggered the events in verse 2. Surely, errant devils didn’t have to wait for significant human population growth to see the beauty of women! Moreover, daughters were born throughout human history, not only during times of significant population growth. See also: Human DNA Hacked (Poem), and its references to Jude 6 and 2 Peter 2:4, the corroborating verses that many Bible teachers seem to MISS or IGNORE.
3 From the highest strategic perspective, one might argue the global flood was the preface to the great tribulation, because only these two events uniquely represent The Lord’s most harsh judgments poured out on all sinful humanity and all the Earth! Some Bible scholars opine [rather weak] linkages between the judgment plagues on Egypt, and the great tribulation plagues. But the plagues on Egypt were not global!!!
4 As in figuratively ‘married’
5 Recall, Earth is a living entity, likely having ‘spirit’, not just some inanimate object for humans to exploit to the max. Indigenous societies across the world seem to perceive this.. The Bible reveals what The Lord thinks of Earth in the manner He speaks to/about ‘her’. It’s interesting to see how some versions of The Bible are inconsistent in how He refers to Earth as her vs. it. See: Genesis 4:11-12, Leviticus 26, Numbers 16:30, Deuteronomy 32:22, 2 Chronicles 36, Job 9:6 and Isaiah 13:13 in the KJV and several other versions.
6 See: Minding Your Cups (Poem). When Grace egresses, judgments soon fall.
7 See: Gender Ratio
8 What do you perceive when comparing Genesis 3:1, 3:16 and 4:6-7?
9 See: 1 Peter 3:3-4
10 See: Matthew 24:3-14, 2 Thessalonians 2:3, Revelation 3:14-22,
Isaiah 11:12, 43:5, 54:7, Zechariah 10:6-10, Zephaniah 3:8-20, and Micah 2:12
