HOPEFUL RAY

 

Life as we know it, will soon slip away;

 

Try to disown it – there comes a death day.

 

No one has successfully side-stepped death

 

All our forefathers ran out of life’s breath

 

Only God holds for us the Hopeful ray.

on your death bed,

Translation Trouble – 2Co 5.17

 

AV “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold,  all things are become new.”

NASB – Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature ; the old things passed away ; behold,  new things have come.

 

Omitting the powerful idea of “all”

removes a promise the sad sinner needs.

BESETTING PRIDE

 

 

Christ died to remove all sin,

 

 

That without, carnality within.

 

 

High on the list for why He died

 

 

Is to remove besetting P-R-I-D-E.

Our society, as we eat junk food

does the cross make some people “cross.”

REVELATION

 

Revelation

R Read this Book for a blessing (or listen to It read)

E Ephesus through Thyatira: two bring two to a head

V visions of the last three churches fill up chapter three

E Eternity holds God’s great throne – which John gets to see

L Lamb outshines Lion as the symbol for God’s sole Son

A A series of seals fill chapter six – magnificent

T The concept of twelve times twelve balanced by saints rent

 I  Introduced in chapter eight are God’s great trumpet sounds

O One woe is followed by another – awesomeness abounds

N Number ten tells truth that John was forbid to tell

S “Sodom,” Witnesses, a tenth of Jerusalem fell

 

I  In twelve there’s time, times and half a time: symbol of years

N No man may buy/sell, six-six-six, a number of fears

 

R Reaping occurs in fourteen – a sharp sickle and souls

E Everything was conquered, his image, his mark, his name

V Vials now follow trumpets, as they followed seals of shame

E Enough details appear – a city on seven hills

L Long ugly is the list of her items and thrills

A Alleluia’s the cry: King of kings, Lord of lords

T Throne is here, judgment and books with defining words

 I  I, John, saw the “holy city” words to thrill saints’ hearts

O Oh, thrills: Night-less city, River, Fruits “off-the-charts”

N No Book quite compares to the “Revelation” of Christ.
