Six ‘days’ of creation, Earth, The Lord did dress.
Was it followed by His millennial rest?? 1
To Enoch, He gave an invitation,
To join Him in His rest up in Heaven.
They observed how mankind followed the behests,
Of angels who had failed His loyalty test!
They witnessed how to sinfulness mankind did cleave.
By folk’s rebellion, The Lord’s heart was sorely grieved.
As their rebellion reached its apex,
He decided 8 souls to protect,
In a pending global destruction:
A planetary inundation. 2
Six ‘ages’ of history, on Earth, The Lord intends.
The 3rd age is spiraling to its predicted end.
All because mankind continues to imitate,
Demons who, in Heaven, a coup did instigate.
From folks’ sins, Earth is in …planetary distress!
Of The Lord’s world, we have made a colossal mess! 3
Next time… when our rebellion reaches its apex,
The Lord pre-decided all His saints to protect,
In His long-promised solar system destruction,
And comprehensive universal combustion.
By this decision, The Lord’s heart will not be bruised,
Since His salvation Grace, folks will have abused. 4
Six ‘days’ of creation, The Lord first completed.
Then to His millennial rest, He retreated.
Now, in this 3rd age, He offers to all, His best,
Like Enoch and Noah, to pass His ‘saving test’:
--Repent, live for Him, and receive rewards The Bible portrays.
--Fail His test, join devils who’ll suffer in His eternal blaze. 5
Six ages of history, the 3rd age will soon end.
Three more are to come. The 4th age is just around the bend.
Now is your best time ever to join The Lord’s Kingdom.
Joining will be much tougher in the 4th age to come!!!
Of that, the anti-Christ’s government will make sure, guaranteed!
He’s called, ‘the beast’, in Revelation, a short book all should read. 6
When this man is gone, back to Earth, The Lord will return,
With ALL His saints and angels, the whole world to govern.
…Ummm, Heaven emptied??
For a millennium on Earth, He, The Prince of Peace, will reign,
And all peoples will be blessed within His righteousness domain.
In those days, all devils will be locked in a bottomless pit.
But in the 6th age, they will be released to tempt folks’ spirits. 7
The Lord promises both the 4th and 6th ages will be short,
After the 6th, to Him sinners from all ages will report.
Resurrected from hell, before Him they’ll stand to be judged,
For rejecting Him, His Word and His sacrificial blood.
Into the lake of fire, somewhere on The Lord’s promised new Earth,
In flames, with devils and satan’s son, they’ll be …forever hurt. 8
In six ‘days’ of creation, Earth, The Lord dressed,
Adorned it, then man He created and blessed.
But man, Earth’s lord, found, then we all got hooked on ‘sin fixes’.
In six ages of history, deeper in sin’s ditches,
We’ll be ripe for The Lord’s two eternal experiences:
Sinners in the fiery lake; saints in glorious radiance.
The number of man is ‘666’, Scripture declares.
Friends, in this poem, do you ‘see’ what The Lord prepared???
SIX… (a) days of creation; (b) Adam’s birthday; (c) our time to prepare,
For our 7th age, in BLISS with HIM or in FLAMES of DESPAIR. 9
When you pass His life test, you won’t hear Him say, cold-heartedly:
I don’t know you! Depart from Me, workers of iniquity! 10

1 Interestingly, other than rebuking Cain for killing Abel, there is no Bible indication The Lord broadly judged mankind's mounting sinfulness during the 1st age of history, which lasted about 1,600 years. His first broad judgment of sinfulness appears to have been the global flood, roughly midway into man's second millennium on Earth. Noah was reportedly born 1,056 years after Adam was created, which was about half way into the first century of the 2nd millennium. When he reached middle age (~500 years old), The Lord revealed to Noah, His plan to judge sinfulness across the Earth via a global flood. I wonder if this delayed, broad judgment could be a hint that The Lord's 7th Day of Rest may have been ...a millennial rest. And if so, what might this infer about ...His 6 days of creation??

5 This is currently the age of Grace, during which The Lord’s offer of salvation is extended to all. Salvation (i.e., being saved) is by faith in His substitutionary death offering for our sins. It triggers a reordering of our lives, to His righteous standards and requirements, communicated in His Word, The Bible, The Mind of Christ. It is His inspirational record (i.e., personally inspired by His Holy Spirit), of His key observations and actions, during the 1st, 2nd, and early 3rd ages of human history, so we in the latter ages, will understand and heed, His invitations and warnings therein. See: Prayer of Salvation (Poem).
6 See: The Book of Revelation, anti-Christ (Series) and The Lake of Fire: A Preview (Series). Also see and listen to: Revelation - Read It, Hear It, Keep It! (Series).
7 These will be the 5th and 6th ages of history. See: The Millennial Reign (Series) and Revelation 20:1-3
8 The Bible teaches only the blood of Jesus Christ, strategically shed on Calvary, can wash away human sins, and pay the awful eternal price God has ordained for sinfulness. Embracing this Gospel Truth by faith, spiritually applies His ‘sin-cleansing blood’ to our lives, and makes us cleansed, spiritually-reborn sons of Father God’. The demonstrated results of this act of faith are then manifested as we mature in Christ. See my meager depiction of this future scene, The Great White Throne judgment, in Letter to 4th Age Christians (Poem)
9 See: Revelation 13:18. To on-going speculations about what ‘666’ means, I add this unique perspective.
10 See: Matthew 7:23, 25:41 and Luke 13:27
