[212]. A Message From A Poem - Everything In Its Season

[212]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM - EVERYTHING IN ITS SEASON
This poem covers a lot of ground. Broadly it is connected with the state of things, being the season of man. God created all of us and we live our lives in this world, but all of us are accountable for our actions. Some of that is covered. The season of a person’s life covers birth to death. The season for man’s own self will on the earth covers from Adam’s expulsion until the Lord Jesus returns at the Second Coming to establish His Kingdom on earth.
One scripture I want to quote in part is this one – {{Ecclesiastes 3:1-5 “There is AN APPOINTED TIME FOR EVERYTHING, and there is a time for every event under heaven - A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a time to shun embracing;”}}
The whole passage is Ecclesiastes 3:1-11. It speaks of the seasons found on earth in the kingdoms of men.
In stanza 5 I mention bitter and sweet. That reference is from here – {{Isaiah 5:20-21 “WOE TO THOSE WHO CALL EVIL GOOD, AND GOOD EVIL, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight!”}}. In our world there has been a dramatic change from conservative, even godly living, to the adoption of matters from hell – recognizing homosexuality and its legislated marriage; the abortion of babies up till the age of birth, gender alterations, and so many more. What is evil is called good, and what is good is considered evil.
Stanza 9 considers Charlie Kirk, murdered for his faith. I have a message on Sermon Central about Charles Kirk’s faith you might like to read - https://sermoncentral.com/sermons/a-martyr-for-a-cause-charlie-kirk-assassinated-ron-ferguson-sermon-on-martyrdom-294500
In stanzas 10 and 11, there is a serious matter and it is Israel. In its actions to defend itself, Israel has come under great condemnation from the satanic United Nations. The UN has adopted the Hamas side, never condemning that terrorist group. Whatever some people think of Donald Trump, he earns the blessing of God because he blesses Israel.
The call for a separate Palestinian State is equivalent for the United States to create a State in its borders for the illegal “immigrants” who have invaded under Biden Presidency. Israel will never agree to that for this reason – {{Joel 3:2 “I will gather all the nations, and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of MY PEOPLE AND MY INHERITANCE, ISRAEL, whom they have scattered among the nations, and THEY HAVE DIVIDED UP MY LAND.”}} {{Genesis 12:3 “I will bless those who bless you and THE ONE WHO CURSES YOU I WILL CURSE. In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed,”}}. God’s curse is on the United Nations and all leaders who condemn Israel.
In fact the entire extent of Israel’s land is set in this verse – {{Genesis 15:18 “On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I have given this land FROM THE RIVER OF EGYPT AS FAR AS THE GREAT RIVER, THE RIVER EUPHRATES”}}
No nation wants Palestinians, not even one Moslem nation. They are terrorists. Australia is the only nation on earth to bring them in, many, many of them, and now they are showing their true colours. Prime Minister Albanese brought them to Australia because he HATES Israel vehemently, and he knows he will get the election votes.
There is a lot more that can be said but this is getting long. Please enjoy these thoughts. They may cause you to think in different ways.
=============================================================
EVERYTHING IN ITS SEASON
Think about our fellow believers;
Those who suffer from the hands of men.
Through hatred, people are receivers
Of injustice, that’s thrown against them.
========================
That will increase the bible has said,
As the age lurches towards its end.
Confusion rules and decency’s fled.
Godlessness will never God defend.
========================
There was a time in western nations
God’s statutes were honoured and upheld.
Now wickedness in man’s equations
Has goodness and holiness dispelled.
========================
In the truth, the Christian firmly stands.
“He’s a bigot of hate,” the world says.
That’s because it’s held by Satan’s bands,
Which delusion deceitfully lays.
========================
Bitter is sweet, and sweet is bitter.
Good is called evil, and evil, good.
What is sin, is to sinners, glitter.
What is precious, valueless as wood.
========================
Those who suffer torture, and in pain,
Christ’s own, for His name persecuted;
Murdered by ones who are just like Cain.
Their justice will be executed.
========================
Suffering is great in man’s story.
Christians in Africa, Satan hates.
On earth, for the saints, there’s no glory;
Heaven is where all their hope relates.
========================
The world despises Christ and His own;
Blasphemes the believers with vileness.
The world has its season, but will moan
When God dispenses wrath in fullness.
========================
Charlie Kirk was killed by an agent
Active in homosexual hate.
What is not of God is devil sent.
God is hated by the reprobate.
========================
Israel is facing gathering spite;
International vengeance pronounced!
Darkness is the substitute for light,
By the United Nations announced.
========================
Those who dare divide God’s land are cursed!
Palestine – NOT A STATE in Israel!
Those on this path – not biblically versed:
Agitators who crave that, will fail.
========================
To everything there is a season –
Nature, weather, ageing, our existence.
To all things, a logical reason:
To our minds, God’s law of insistence.
========================
Man has his season under God’s hand
But that’s not in perpetuity.
Man’s history runs its course in the land,
But it’s God who owns eternity.
========================
Horror and injustice we observe,
For to God, men’s lives do not belong.
One day, all will get what they deserve.
God’s tolerance is not overlong.
========================
A time for sowing and for reaping;
A time to build and to deconstruct;
Times of delight and times of weeping;
A time to address man’s misconduct.
========================
Your behaviour has consequences.
What a man sows, that he also reaps.
Man’s sin, and all his allegiances,
Will be made bare, for the books, God keeps.
========================
There is a season for you on earth,
So with the Lord God, how will you fare?
What has been achieved for God since birth?
Judgement’s season is coming – Be aware!
========================
Soon the season of man is ending.
Corrupted man brought in destruction.
The coming of the Lord is pending,
Who comes to end mankind’s dysfunction.
========================
