Gas-lit! (Poem)

A HUGE element of America’s electorate,

Was gas-lit by a deep, political conspiracy,

Structured to keep an errant president (their favorite),

In office for a second four-year term, illegally!

 

The plan, devised before the national election:

Let’s emphatically declare …’the election was stolen!!! ¹

The plan counted on his supporters’ strong affection,

Even knowing of his past sordid and salacious actions.

 

Once enacted, the plan wreaked havoc across the nation,

And triggered a spate of lawsuits, brought by the candidate.

He lost all but one, but still, the conspiracy pressed on.

The plan then e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d with deeper lies served from his plate!

 

Weeks before the transfer-of-power was scheduled,

With his crew, this lame-duck president conspired to organize,

An armed mob attack on the U.S. capitol!! ²

The attack lasted hours. Many folks were hurt …and some died.

 

A year+ later, the hard facts of this plan are now revealed,

And many insurrectionists are having their ‘day in court’.

Since then, against the leaders, indictments have now been unsealed.

The wheels of justice turn more slowly, for …high level cohorts! ³

 

For most of us citizens, our minds are befuddled,

As to why they refuse to believe Truth that’s revealed.

And why by the lies and grift, they remain bedeviled.

It seems as if deep within them, the lies have congealed. 

~0~

Friends, by now, no doubt you are seriously wondering,

Why am I addressing this highly disturbing topic,

And how it related to topics I spend time pondering.

This story points to one that is …far more catastrophic!!!

 

Long ago…

Another ‘president-type’ witnessed a key (s)election,

One that would depose him from his highly-desired position.

He, too, lost his (s)election that triggered great frustration!

And he, too, conspired to use lies as his …tools of persuasion.

 

His many supporters were all in on the deal,

And they agreed he would be their …‘best foot forward’.

So they then conspired how the (s)election to steal.

They planned how a key supporter could be cornered.

 

The plan: Feed this supporter info that was dubious,

On an issue not uppermost in the opposition’s mind,

But the Electorate would consider as dangerous.

Their plan worked, putting the opposition in an awful bind!!!

Gas-lit! 

From that moment, all mankind was eternally doomed,

Because Eve had fallen for satan’s little white lie.
Adam lost ‘the god-role’ that for him, The Lord had groomed,

And to their sin, we, all their offspring are now allied. ⁴

Gas-lit!!

Generation-after-generation, for unending years,

Devils have deepened and ex-p-a-n-d-e-d their scheme,

And just like our first parents, we’ve trusted their lying veneers.

So The Lord became a Man …and joined our team! ⁵

 

He developed a scheme that from every devil was cloaked,

To pay our full sin price, and redeem us to God.

Now to sin’s awful penalty, we don’t have to be yoked!!!

His sacrifice for us exposed satan’s cruel fraud. ⁶

Gas-lit!!!

Too many of us still fall for those devilish lies,

And refuse to embrace Heaven’s greatest gift:

Salvation in Jesus Christ , God’s ‘eternal life prize.’

That’s like Americans who …give Truth short-shrift. ⁷

⁴ In creating Adam in the presence of all on-looking devils, The Lord God ‘(s)elected’ him to be the god-equivalent on Earth, having full spiritual and physical dominion over this part of creation. Eve was his key supporter. satan and his imps, who had been deposed of their various angelic roles in Heaven, had been cast down to Earth, and likely thought of it as their new kingdom. I imagine they were shocked when The Lord created man, and then put him in charge of Earth! 

⁵ He became human through the virgin birth, foretold in a cloaked manner in Genesis 3:15.

⁶ His cloaked scheme was to inject Himself into Israel, declare Himself to be their Messiah (which He was and is), knowing full well they would reject and crucify Him simply because they grossly misunderstood prophetic timelines about His Millennial and eternal kingdoms.

Through the Eyes of His Heart (Poem)

Hear, Heart, Fear, Clear, Dear, Early, Earnest, Forbear,

Eight words that are undeniably persistent,

As into The Word of The Lord we do peer.

To you, within each one, what word is most pertinent?

 

These words convey concepts with which

The Lord is keenly concerned,

Thus, in various ways, these concepts are reiterated,

As if to help ensure that by them, our lives will be governed,

And enduring blessings from Him will be reciprocated.

 

The pertinent word buried in these words is ‘ear’,

Thus, what we hear is the dominant concept on His mind,

So in life we learn, and then yearn Him to revere.

To suit these objectives, His Word is …uniquely designed. ¹

 

     Hear conveys the concept of listening.

     Heart conveys the concept of perceiving.

     Fear conveys concepts of imagining.

     Clear conveys the concept of conceiving.

 

     Dear conveys the concept of blessing.

     Early conveys the concept of mortality.

     Earnest conveys the concept of testing.

     Forbear conveys the concept of mentality.

 

To what we tune our ears, physical, and heart, spiritual,

Determines which motivating voice we hear, fear or faith. ²

By the clarity of what we hear, we’re held accountable,

And our choice of whom and what we hold dear, we seal our fate.

 

The timeliness in which we learn reveals our wisdom level,

And diligence in applying it governs our success. ³

Resisting contrary voices and urgings from the devil,

Ensures from the presence of The Lord …we will not egress.

 

I hope you will treasure these key words and concepts I have shared,

To meditate and develop them very well in your life.

They’re a good summary of wisdom in His Word He’s declared,

Patiently over thousands of years, 66 ‘books’ to write. ⁴

 

Now…

Imagine… how would your life be, what would your ‘see’,

Perceive…  the many problems you would thwart,

If you keenly developed the ability,

To see life …Through Eyes of The Good Lord’s Heart.

¹ The Lord revealed to Apostle Paul, ‘All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the saints of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.’ (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

² Fear and faith are the same, exact spiritual force or energy, just working in opposing directions, and achieving opposite results. Since Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as ‘[spiritual] substance of things hoped for [desired], the [temporary stand-in] evidence of things not seen [invisible, not-yet manifested]’, think …what does this infer as a good, working definition of fear??

³ King Solomon, the wisest man in his day, put it this way, ‘Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth…’ (Ecclesiastes 12:1)

⁴ Peter declares, ‘And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;  knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke [and wrote] as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.’ (2 Peter 1:19-21) If you think deeply, you will clearly see practically all of The Bible essentially …is prophecy, namely The Lord very early on declaring the concepts and principles by which individuals and nations should live to receive His bountiful blessings, and detailing the judgments that would befall us if we disobeyed. The rest of The Bible essentially ‘brings to light and life exactly what He said! Ever considered that?

Cascading Crises (Poem)

With the expression, double-edged sword, we are all familiar.

But a triple-edged sword’?! Now that’s a concept much fuzzier.

While triple-edged knives and daggers do exist,

The notion of triple-edged swords is …dismissed.

 

Though it’s apparently dismissed, physically,

This idea may exist, spiritually.

So let’s take some time, this enigma to ponder,

And perceive wisdom The Lord serves on His platter.

 

Biblically, references to ‘sword’ infer warfare.

One of four judgments The Lord persistently declares,

Against any land and its people’s persistent sinfulness,

When to repentance they exhibit pervasive slothfulness. ¹

 

These judgments can relate …synergistically,

Triggering each other …symbiotically,

When to repent, people remain stubborn,

And errant ways they refuse to unlearn. ²

 

‘How does this link to the triple-edged sword notion?’

The answer relates to judgment augmentation,

That happens as collateral impacts kick in,

In response to people’s increasingly gross sins.

 

Only when, and as we cultivate The Mind of Christ,

Can we begin to perceive the escalating price,

Of the potential unfolding matrix,

Of His four cardinal judgment tactics. ³

Then…

For each one, perceive in your spirit:

     1. The sword blade that likely triggered it

     2. The sword blade of what it foments

     3. The sword blade of what it prevents

Triple-edged

Like a land that has been severely bombed,

Crises then cascade to points well beyond,

The Lord’s declared, four disastrous sin-judgment tactics!

In effect, these four serve as His… judgment catalysts!

 

When you see cascading crises infecting a land,

Spiritually-minded folks this should understand:

It may very well be The Lord’s unfolding matrix,

Of judgments on it He has l-o-n-g  promised to inflict.

 

Ask yourself: 

‘How can I ensure I’ll be among the vigilant remnant,

Who survives collateral damages that are imminent??’

For in all His judgments, The Good Lord extends Grace,

For us who, by them, will shape-up and become chaste. ⁴

 

Then ponder:

When a land is facing cascading crises,

Of varying natures and intensities,

What are folks' governance propensities:

Democracies versus autocracies?? ⁵

 

Now understand why in me this is stirred:

Democracies won’t likely be preferred,

When The Lord’s tribulation judgments escalate.

Autocracies will then likely …proliferate!

 

So of this propensity, be forewarned, not surprised.

It’ll occur in the open, and will not be disguised.

Then into an evil one, these autocracies will conflate,

And everything righteous, the leader will seek …to abrogate. ⁶

----------

¹ See: Ezekiel 14:12-23. Everybody in the U.S. and around the world should MEMORIZE these four judgment henchmen since, throughout human history, by these we have been persistently plagued. These verses clearly unveil the spiritual reasons for such, taking the guesswork out of the equation. Yet, we have largely not been smart enough to figure this out! These are the exact same points The Lord revealed to Moses in Deuteronomy 32:23-25, thousands of years before revealing them to Ezekiel. Will we ever ‘get it’?!

² Synergistically and symbiotically connote close interactions between similar or dissimilar things or events to produce greater or more significant impacts or effects

³ Paul affirms born-again, Holy Spirit-filled saints have been spiritually given The Mind of Christ. This gift must be received by faith, and then diligently applied to be activated in our lives. This happens as we study The Lord’s Word (The Bible), and work to apply to our lives His righteous principles revealed therein. This proves to the on-looking world that we belong to Him, and are not simply …Christianesque.

⁴ Chaste – clean, righteous, spotless, undefiled by Heaven’s definition.

⁵ Think: Absolute martial law is akin to an extreme, yet temporary autocracy. See: Anti-Christ (Series)

⁶ Abrogate – abolish by authoritative action. See: Degeneracy, Then Demise of Democracy (Poem) and especially Revelation 13 that signifies the predicted 3½ year global reign of the anti-Christ.

Woo Woo Hooey!! (Poem)

‘I consider that’s a bunch of woo woo hooey!’ ¹

That’s the sentiment of a non-believer friend,

Who thinks anything spiritual is …phooey,

Not worth the time or effort that, on it, folks spend.

 

And you know what? He has a lot of company,

Folks who firmly believe to life, there’s nothing more,

Than that which we experience, consciously.

Any notions of more, some folks really abhor!

 

Yet, as secularists, these folk cannot deny,

That on many prophetic points, The Bible ‘got it right!’

Some historical facts on which we all rely,

Began as prophetic seeds, sown in hearts that were …upright. ²

 

In the fullness of time, from these seeds, fruits burst forth,

And manifested the things or conditions …pre-revealed,

Some hundreds, and even thousands of years before!

Ahhh, that’s evidence of power from a realm …that’s concealed!

 

‘Show me some evidentiary proof!’, the skeptics insist,

When some notions of yet-fulfilled prophecies arise.

To connect prophetic fruits to such notions, they resist.

Though on history they rely, their faith it doesn’t advise!

 Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Folks,

Prophecy is The Lord God’s calling card,

To a world largely skeptic that He even exists!

It’s fulfillment is proof that should discard,

Any and all of our doubts that linger and persist.

 

But so very sadly, it doesn’t.

And folks who insist on holding onto their doubts,

Of this they are not cognizant:

Even their stubborn doubts are …prophetic fruit sprouts!!! ³

 

Friends, beware if you, like my friend, may think,

All spiritual notions are …woo woo hooey.

To un-fulfilled prophecies, you’re a key link:

Fruit soon cast down after …reaching your apogee. ⁴

---------- 

¹ Superstitious, irrational, non-sense beliefs or practices

² Consider the countless prophecies about Israel, both ancient and modern. (Deuteronomy 4, 30, Isaiah 66:8 and Israel becoming a nation state) See also: The Lord’s predicted judgment tactics He uses against persistent sinfulness in any land. (Deuteronomy 32, Leviticus 26 and Ezekiel 5 and14). The Bible is undeniably jam-packed with innumerable historical facts, prophecies fulfilled. 

³ These folks don't even realize they, themselves, are fulfilling prophecies! See: 1 Corinthians 2:14, 2 Peter 3:3-4, 2 Timothy 3:1- 17 and 4:3, Jude 7 and 18

Degeneracy, Then Demise of Democracy (Poem)

01/04/2022

The Bible is likely the oldest historical record.

As Heaven’s conception of creation, it was reserved,

And as its strategic slate for ‘man-king’, it was preserved.

Read with an open mind and heart, this is clearly observed.

It’s preservation is courtesy of Jesus Christ, The Lord. ¹

The first king recorded therein is a man named Nimrod.

He governed major parts of the post-flood population,

When there was only one language for communication,

On Earth that had been divided by the inundation.

The Lord ended his reign, and scattered the people abroad. ²

Since then, there have been many kings and rulers across the Earth,

And after them, various forms of governance have emerged.

In these, the last days, something distinctly unique has occurred:

From history’s funnel, two broad governance models emerged:

Democracies and autocracies compete to prove their worth.

Democracies – governance by, for and of …‘the people’,

Though definition of ‘the people’ has varied wildly!

Autocracies – governance by the will of one, tightly.

Between the two, the differences are stark, shockingly! 

The struggle between these is epic; today, it’s frightful!

But as the world transits these scary and troubling times,

It is democracies that are facing challenges severe.

America lauds itself as ‘democracy’s pioneer’,

But history shows she just had a …‘democratic veneer!’

Now, for her democracy, there are worrying signs. ³

Like all other democracies the whole world over,

Challenges are escalating, both within and without. ⁴

For us who know what The Lord’s strategic plan’s all about,

We understand what, from this, He says will soon, one day sprout:

To an evil, global government, we’re inching closer.

Today’s autocratic governments are merely prototypes,

Of the one predicted to be welcomed on the world’s stage,

When by The Lord, all democracies will have been upstaged.

And in this shakeout, don’t think autocracies will pervade!

They won’t!!!

But in the time of crises, which is the best governance type??

 

Rather, a new one WILL emerge, led by …the son of satan,

A fellow who’ll masquerade as a demigod.

(A feeble attempt to mimic ‘The Son of God’)

Horribly gas-lit, the world will fall for his fraud.

That is until The Lord, Son of God, launches His invasion. ⁵

For the time being…

Each democracy will follow its…path of degeneracy,

As every conceivable restraint, folks will cast-off,

As ancient nations did when, at righteousness, they scoffed,

And all The Lord’s warnings and judgments, they all rebuffed.

Autocracies will increase, then merge to one, that’s what I perceive. ⁶

Soon afterward, a monarchy-of-monarchies will arise,

Like the world has never known: 

Jesus on His global Throne,

On Earth, righteousness then honed,

Ensuring of the downfall of many, and hopes of …the wise. ⁷

---------- 

¹ Man was created to be gods or king-like lords of Earth, spiritually lording over (as in militarily occupying) evil forces that were kicked out of Heaven. Jesus actually confirmed what David wrote under the inspiration of The Holy Spirit, namely, we are gods. See: Psalm 82:6, John 10:35, and Ye Are Gods (Series). 

² See the story of Nimrod in Genesis 10:8 and 11:1-9. Some Bible scholars and scientists alike believe Earth was once a single land mass, and will someday return to this state. See: Genesis 10:25 and 1 Chronicles 1:19 (pre-flood super-continent?) See also: Isaiah 2:19-21, 13:13, 24:18-19, Ezekiel 38:20, Joel 3:16, Haggai 2:6, 21, Luke 21:6, Hebrews 12:26, and Revelation 16:18. Might the predicted great/global earthquakes during the great tribulation (the apocalypse) reunite the continents?? 

³ It is well known that America’s Constitution did not originally apply to women, slaves and original Americans. Slaves were counted as ³/₅ of a whole person. See: Three-fifths Compromise. Also, the civil rights of women were severely restricted.

⁴ America is more divided currently than any time since its Revolutionary War. Extremist politics and cultural wars are literally tearing the country apart. Democracies across the world are suffering similarly. Internally, the greatest challenges to American democracy, the touted ‘leader of democracies’, may be the extent to which a large segment of her population was horribly gas-lit by, and steadfastly believed ‘the big lie’ that the 2020 presidential election was hacked, plus a variety of outlandish conspiracy theories. Years on, the country is still reeling and dealing with the after-effects of this extreme event. Democracies the world over are challenged by strongman governments hungry for more power over people who are ‘free’, and especially for more territory from which to extract increasingly scarce natural resources. Imagine the wars that might erupt over lunar natural resources! I often wondered whether Bible references to ‘the moon turning to blood’ might be a veiled reference to bloody wars that may be fought there. See: Joel 2:32, Acts 2:20 and Revelation 6:12. See also: Imminent Eminence (Poem), and Historical Countdown: 7 Biblical Aged of Human History.

⁵ See: First and Second Comings (Poem) and A One-World Order and Government? (poem).

⁶ Consider the stark transition righteous Job experienced, as recorded in Job 28 and 29. These chapters encapsulate the ‘righteousness-to-degeneracy path’ down which all humans tread whenever we cast off all moral restraints, and lose all shame. Sadly, personal freedoms that all democracies accentuate, quickly translate into freedom from everything The Lord calls ‘righteous’. The results are always/ALWAYS mounting sinfulness that is guaranteed to attract His most harsh judgments, culminating in loss of nation status, or much worse! To the wise, caveat ! (Latin for ‘beware’) See: Human Rights Repealed (Poem).

⁷ This is the long-promised Millennial Reign of Jesus as global King, along with His then resurrected, im-mortal saints from across the ages, a topic extensively explored in this blog. See: Daniel 12:2-3, Millennial Reign (Series), and Millennial Parallelisms (Series).

The Lord’s Word to Rev. John T. Davidson & Family

(...on the passing of their beloved, Paulette)

To you, John, my son, and you, Paulette, my daughter,

I knew you both, well before …you were,

In recesses of My Spirit, stirred.

There I had appointed your mothers and fathers. ¹

 

To your dads’ seed, I pointed My finger,

And you each became the substance I ‘foresaw’,

According to My spirit-to-substance law,

By which I create, and never falter.

 

At your births, My angels and I rejoiced greatly,

As we shared in all the joys of your parents.

As you grew from babes-to-toddlers, then enfants,

I bestowed Grace to sustain your journeys safely.

 

When you embraced me as your Savior,

And into my ‘elect’ you were baptized,

By your strong embrace, I was not surprised.

That’s the results of my Grace favor.

 

It was my Grace that led you to meet each other,

During your time at Lincoln University.

There you both shared your strong faith, unfalteringly,

And committed to live holy, without blunder.

 

I greatly rejoiced to meet you at the altar,

Where, in holy matrimony, you did unite.

There, our strong three-fold cord was formed for your life’s fight,

You, John and Paulette, and Me, your guiding North Star. ²

 

Throughout the years since then, in you both I delighted.

In your choices of careers, and births of your children,

In all, you upheld the banner, Devoted Christians.

To bless you with children’s children, I was excited!

 

You see…

In children, it’s Godly offspring I desire,

To give, in life, glory to My Name.

This requires parents who shun sin’s games,

And who will model lifestyles that I admire. ³

 

I designed life on Earth as mankind’s vast proving ground.

There I search hearts and test minds, uncloaking things hidden therein.

And thus I am making apparent each person’s …life’s kingpin,

Whether in righteousness or wickedness they abound. ⁴

 

Then, when their life is over, before Me each one will stand.

To know whether on their results, I will smile or frown,

To give a crown of righteousness, or to cast them down,

To fellowship with Me forever, or from Me be banned.

 

Paulette Davidson, My very good and faithful servant,

Now wears her well-earned, glorious crown of righteousness.

So rejoice with her, though hearts may be filled with sadness.

Her ‘testing days’ are over, and with Me, she is present! ⁵

 

My keen desire is that, to all whose testing days continue,

Her life remains as a beacon of righteousness,

Of how to approach and pass My tests with somberness.

So one day with her, they all can enjoy …a sweet rendezvous.

 

Delivered through My servant,

J! Wooten, Jr., Tucson, Arizona
