From end-to-end, Bible stories portray,
Lessons to us The Lord wants to relay.
From them, today He wants us to distill,
Insights on how to receive His goodwill.
But since human nature contradicts His,
Such insights we don’t seek, or will dismiss.
Thus, we’re like the folks in Bible stories,
Who proved to be …spiritual dummies!!!
In these stories, a constant theme is clear:
When rebukes folks had long refused to hear,
The Lord vomited them out of their lands!
Then He drew-in various migrant bands. 1
Thus, massive in-and-out migration streams,
Persist as a human history theme.
Though in them we can’t perceive The Lord’s hand,
Here’s a point true Christians should understand.
Societal and national migrations,
That might be triggered by The Lord’s decisions,
In some strategic ways, will correlate,
With age-ending events He’ll instigate! 2
Across the Earth, all migrations occur.
Away from Earth, true saints He will transfer,
Via His ‘up-migrations providential’,
Ascensions to the new Earth, eternal.
And since migrations are both ‘in and out’,
He has planned our return with LOTS of clout!
It’ll be our ‘down-migration descension’,
For His Millennial dispensation! 3
Can you now perceive His rapture events,
Are akin to migrations He foments,
And our return with Him will be temporary,
Until our Millennial Anniversary?? 4
Friends, I hope, from this unique perspective,
Of The Lord’s plans that'll be transformative, 5
You will change any possibly negative penchants,
And bad attitudes toward …migration and migrants!
...Especially if, one day you aspire to be one of
The Lord’s Glorified Migrants!
Selah..

1 This happened to many ancient city-states and nations, not just to ancient Israel and Judah.
2 See: Group Raptures – Timings and Types (Series).
3 We will be fully empowered to help facilitate The Lord's global iron rod rule. See: The Millennial Reign (Series).
4 At the end of The Millennial Reign, we will be raptured/ascend/migrate back to the new, eternal Earth.
5 In our initial raptures/ascensions/migrations, deceased saints will be resurrected, and with saints who will be alive, we’ll all be corporeally transformed, from mortal-to-immortal beings. See: 1 Corinthians 15:35-58.
