Page 846. (Of Revelation 14:1-5). A NEW SONG.
To the only LIVING GOD and CREATOR of all things: Dear FATHER, your great Name is sanctified in the glory which can only be Yours alone. Even to those who sought Your vindication. You allowed before all, intense legal examinations of Yourself, by those You gave life to. Many have proved to be Your enemies. For Your own case You allowed insight to 144,000 witnesses on earth. We entered into reproach for righteousness' sake. All whom You declared righteous shared in preparing a legal case, and delighted in Your Holy revealings. FATHER, You gave Your greatest heavenly witness for our salvation, Michael, by his obedience to Your Will. He suffered, and received Your loving kindness, mercy and justice. Through him we are being subjected as Your anointed sons before Your great throne, in the Way of Holiness. Although peoples did not show us mercy, we
are rejoicing now as a "land" of your mercy, with a spiritual birthright of your
creating from You the Most High! Toward the "image and likeness" of Spirit of
You and Your Son, as future members of Your heavenly household But where are the words for the sons of disobedience, who in selfish cravings robbed the nation in its entirety, who went seeking a "house" of intense lovers of themselves? They are receiving only wounds of shame in the midst of themselves, even as I speak. Their smooth fabrications with its silky cleverness You saw, and with eyes of justice You plucked out their 'seeing'. Their "veils" of disobedience You removed from us, and we see clearly Your Word, and the end of apostate flesh. During the period of Your anger, You sharpened our 'seeing', and we became willing messengers of Your denunciations that were stored up like "hail"; until our faces became as flint. FATHER, as willing sons we see Your love for us, first as children, then as fathers in a small way, and we delighted in the offspring You gave into our charge. Making broad in their midst, space for Your creating. Who can know all Your Name? Your entire
works? Your excellence, without knowing Your Holy Spirit You chose an appointed time for refining out enemies, directing your sons in the pouring out of Your "bowls" of appointed denunciations of doom. During two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings it took place "on the wing", as a bitter scroll, though sweet in our mouths. They rejected even Michael the Prince of your covenant, so that his clean "offerings" for them ceased. During that time, your legal case and justification for your sons was concluded in glory. We rejoiced over their 'piercing' of us. They are "disgusting things". They even removed sons of Your sanctuary on earth. Their tongues rotted, because they lost their 'seeing'. This is their reward for usurping Your appointed ones, for "trampling" on us with their persecutions. They knew they were "trampling" upon Your Kingdom heirs that have Your commandments. There was no "hedge" around us. We observed your commandments Lord and Your covenant by means of The Christ, during our sworn oath. A "disgusting thing", of lies, was not in our hearts. We were as "dead" for a while on the "broad way" of Sodomite natures and those with tyrannical natures, like "Egyptians" in the congregations. They rejoiced in receiving each other's "gifts", considerations for a bribe; now like dung before their faces. They are an "object of astonishment". Like Your arch-enemy, they forsook their
proper dwelling places, and floodgates were opened of demons hungering and
thirsting for wicked resting places FATHER, the nations of the whole earth are wrathful and are ruining the earth of all its beauty. Please come. We eagerly await Your final wrath "upon the air", followed by Your righteous Kingdom, and humbly beseech your forgiveness of our sins. We will continue to entreat you with many supplications, on behalf of all Your loyal obedient ones fearing Your Name. For we have deep loving affection for You, FATHER. Through Jesus Christ Your Son, I offer this song 21/2/81. |
