[226]. A Message From A Poem - Quantum Leaps
Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 11, 2025 (message contributor)
[226]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM - QUANTUM LEAPS
This poem is in 4 sections though all are related. It deals with the progression of wickedness in the world, but that progress has been very rapid. Those who are older, and in a reflective mood, will recall how things were in the 1950s and 60s when a spirit of godliness ruled. Now that has been reversed, and I am talking about the world, not just an isolated pocket you might be privileged to live in that is more godly than most.
Qantum leaps are great strides. Evil permeates and for a long while has been steady but in the last few decades it has bolted. It does not matter what aspect of this civilisation you might consider wickedness has progressed astoundingly. It has taken great strides.
All that has been correlated with the decline in true believers and the dominance of the Church. Churches are WOKE and many of them adopt liberalism and are so lukewarm, the Lord has departed from them. I want to examine the 4 Sections.
Each section has its own metre and rhyme scheme.
PART 1
A line from this Part - “A day that’s coming on this earth, a day that is beckoning.” All deeds have consequences and the consequences for evil is the wrath of God. that wrath is coming, sure and certain. God will not punish His own elect for the sins of the world so He removes them before the terrible wrath descends in Revelation chapter 6 onwards. {{1 Thessalonians 1:10 “and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is, Jesus WHO DELIVERS US FROM THE WRATH TO COME.”}}. The iniquity of man is inviting the wrath to come (beckoning it).
Part 1 is the overview of the wickedness in this world with its rapid onslaught against Godliness. It will have its day but also its bitter reward in the lake of fire forever.
PART 2
“From wicked men the charge is here
To turn God’s order on its head.”
That is exactly what has been happening. All the standardised institutions have been changed in a volatile advancement to demonic wickedness from the prince and power of the air.
Marriage is changed (homosexuality); Reproduction has been changed (abortion); education has been changed (socialism/Marxism); gender has been changed (bi, trans, queer, etc. etc. etc. . . .) You get the picture.
PART 3
This part mentions 10 destructive ways of wickedness.
{{2 Timothy 3:1-4 “Realise this, that IN THE LAST DAYS DIFFICULT TIMES WILL COME, for men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God”}}
I asked you older people in a reflective mood to survey the last 20 or so years to see how rapidly this change has come about. With QUANTUM LEAPS THIS HAS HAPPENED.
PART 4
We bring this to a conclusion with the greatest QUANTUM LEAP of all, and that is the conversion of an individual.
{{2 Corinthians 5:16-17 “Therefore from now on we recognise no man according to the flesh even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. Therefore if any man is in Christ, HE IS A NEW CREATURE. The old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”}} “A new creation, if you like.”
One line in Part 4 is this – “Blind Freddy sees these issues in many displays.” I don’t know if your nation uses that term, but it means it is so obvious that even a blind person can see it. What does he see? The overwhelming influence of wickedness in this world”.
All this is working up to the coming of the Antichrist – {{2 Thessalonians 2:7-9 “for THE MYSTERY OF LAWLESSNESS IS ALREADY AT WORK. Only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way, and THEN THAT LAWLESS ONE WILL BE REVEALED whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming, that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders”}}
Consider the poem carefully. God bless you all.
=========================================================
QUANTUM LEAPS
[[PART 1]]
Two opposing sides are manifest in a world that is split.
Come now, expressing honesty; take stock, and do an audit:
Cliffs of separation between evil and good; wrong and right –
Increase their height and ruggedness reaching higher out of sight.
The evil side of the split world becomes stronger each day.
Good is not defeated as it belongs to God who will pay
Wages to that which is evil, in the day of reckoning;
A day that’s coming on this earth, a day that is beckoning.
=================================
Wickedness has transformed the present world like days of Noah.
The temperature of righteousness is dropping lower and lower.
Men’s hearts are more perverse, so all their actions are more obscene.
Their evil permeates all quarters and spreads like gangrene.
Examine such events in recent times to see QUANTUM LEAPS.
Wickedness has steroid-bolted, and no longer evil creeps.
End of the Church age is upon us. We know where it’s leading.
Voices of goodness are near silent, and weak in their pleading.
=================================
[[PART 2]]
Now take a look at QUANTUM LEAPS
Happening – so very cunning.
In all aspects this cancer seeps
Rapidly, as if it’s running.
===================
Satan plants his choice insurgents
Right throughout man’s institutions;
From truth, absolute divergence,
Pushing wicked contributions.
===================
From wicked men the charge is here
To turn God’s order on its head.
Before their God, there is no fear,
But they look to Satan instead.
===================
We will consider QUANTUM LEAPS
That have caused disruption to thrive;
Satan’s progression that he keeps
Pushing; evil he keeps alive.
=================================
[[PART 3]]
Darkness has progressed from the light.
Blindness replaces heaven’s sight.
Badness overtakes what is right
Blackness darkens God’s light, pure white;
Deforms true knowledge that was bright.
Seeking for God has taken flight.
Humanism’s caused man’s plight.
God’s light rejected, brings on night.
Men have connived, their God to smite.
Instead of worship, God they spite.
=================================
[[PART 4]]
Our current world is suffering in many ways.
Blind Freddy sees these issues in many displays.
QUANTUM LEAPS have swallowed up LIARS, RELATIONSHIPS,
SEXUAL PERVERSION, VIOLENCE, LEADERSHIPS,
GENDER, HATRED, CORRUPTION, RADICAL ISLAM,
And there are many others bent on bringing harm.
=================================
The change in one generation is enormous,
And in two generations has been stupendous.
This is our world but not all is a hopeless gloom.
God has control, and the world has no final doom.
Jesus will overcome all the evil now seen.
He will establish His kingdom to be serene.
=================================
What is required in this world of man’s living,
Where currently, all to Satan, he is giving?
God commands all men to repent and to be saved.
Almighty God knows how all people have behaved.
Today is the day of salvation. To God turn,
Be born again, then from the bible you will learn.
That for you, will become the greatest QUANTUM LEAP -
Changed from death to life; from lost, to one of God’s sheep.
