[260]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – THE CONSTANT TRAMP OF FEET IS REALITY

This poem is an emotive one. Have you ever waited for the coming of a cyclone, a typhoon or hurricane? You know how some people become anxious as the system approaches. Many start to fear. People feel they are trapped. In some places panic sets in.

We in the West can not appreciate what it is like to live in places where the enemy army advances. In nations subject to Islam and drug lords and terrorism, the enemy advances on a peaceful people and you have no escape. You know they are coming. Life gets disrupted. The distant sounds of military activity is heard. When the soldiers come there is THE CONSTANT TRAMP OF FEET; of soldiers’ boots.

Think back to George Orwell’s “1984” to the increasing control of Government over people’s lives; the increasing restrictive legislations; the advance of the State. The world is moving to universal socialism under the United Nations in non-Islamic nations (generally), and the Islamic nations have their own satanic governments of terrorism. All that is like the world jig-saw puzzle nearing completion as one piece after another falls into place. The end of the Church age is almost here.

When you combine all of the above you get the power of evil that is advancing in the world. It is what the poem is about. Wickedness marches ever onwards like the constant tramp of advancing feet. It gets closer and closer and that is what the poem is portraying. The poem gets more intense as it progresses.

There are too many points in the poem to select from to explain. Climate Change is altering the world (not any change itself, BUT what the advocates are using this hoax for). State legislation in many places protects those who follow perversions, and in Australia, Aboriginal Satanism. It is protected. My nation is turning to paganism as is some of the West (Cybele reference in the poem).

Yesterday (9 January 2026) I saw on Sky News that in a State of Australia, Western Australia, the police are treating as “hate speech” and “defamation” and “transphobic”, people who are saying that a trans-sexual man can not be a woman. WHY, God said that to be the truth! – {{Matthew 19:3-4 Some Pharisees came to Him testing Him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause at all?” He answered and said, “Have you not read, that HE WHO CREATED THEM FROM THE BEGINNING MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE”}}.

I have never read in the bible where God created trans-males and trans-females. All God’s creation and declarations and precepts and laws have been, or are being, turned on their head by godlessness.

Remember, in this poem, you must see the increasing intensity; the advancement of swallowing wickedness. {{2 Timothy 3:1-2 “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, etc.”}}

In the Olivet Discourse, the Lord was answering the disciples’ questions about the time of His coming, and the end of the age. Actually they are the same thing, because the Second Coming of Christ will be the end of the age of man’s control as Messiah comes to establish His Kingdom. BUT there is an important verse in all this – {{Matthew 24:37 “The coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.”}}

Noah lived immediately prior to the coming judgement of the flood. We are living now immediately prior to the coming judgement of the Tribulation. NOTICE that this is said of Noah’s generation – {{Genesis 6:5 “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth and that EVERY INTENT OF THE THOUGHTS OF HIS HEART WAS ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY.”}} It was a vile society. Ours is getting to that stage.

I hope you understand the poem. Wickedness has been given feet. God bless you all.

[260]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – THE CONSTANT TRAMP OF FEET IS REALITY

THE CONSTANT TRAMP OF FEET IS IN MY EARS.

It’s growing louder now.

I hear disquiet and people forced to bow.

People must pay homage to climate change;

Must worship more conjectures strange.

=================

“Do not question; just obey.

Careful now with what you say.

Big Brother watches night and day.

At socialism’s feet, your tribute pay.”

=================

“You must not destroy the earth;

Our Mother earth who gave us birth.

Break out in Cybele’s praise;

To Mother earth, your voices raise;

Drink to Bacchus; feast to Diana;

Celebrate Pan; raise his banner.”

=================

THE CONSTANT TRAMP OF FEET IS IN MY EARS.

It’s growing louder even more.

“What more is contained in its store?

We don’t want heartache, we implore.

We just want goodness we can adore.

You’ve constrain us according to law.”

=================

The tramp of feet keeps up its beat.

Along the street, hear the repeat.

We’re being gathered in with no retreat.

It comes for us along the street.

=================

We’ve disobeyed; our homage paid –

At Another’s feet, our lives we laid;

To God, our allegiances made.

=================

“But that’s illegal,” the State decreed!

It outlawed religion in thought or deed.

“There are consequences, if that life you lead;

If you persist, then punishments, indeed.”

=================

“The opiate of the people,” according to Marx,

To whom the socialist movement harks.

“Blind religion we must exterminate!

Marx, Mao zeDong, Xi – these we imitate.”

=================

To Caesar, or to God. Choose one Master.

Choose correctly, or there’ll be disaster.

Choose not Christ – the State is your pastor!

=================

Darkness descends and blackness increases.

Abort the child so that its life ceases.

Terminate the elderly and infirm.

Their lives are unproductive; now they must squirm.

=================

“You must conform to the socialist order.

Your lives are programmed; don’t cross that border.

Don’t touch God things to bring disorder.”

=================

THE CONSTANT TRAMP OF FEET IS IN MY EARS.

It’s growing ever stronger and now outside!

There’s no place for concealment; no place to hide.

The finale has been reached;

Pagan man’s stronghold has been breached!

=================

The last tramp of feet belongs to God.

With a summons sure, those feet are shod.

He comes to gather His own,

Soon to be around His throne.

=================

Christians have been hated by the world,

Rejected, disowned, with abuse at them hurled;

Legislated against; persecuted, vilified,

But now the Lord comes and they’re glorified.

=================

THE CONSTANT TRAMP OF FEET IS IN MY EARS.

It grows much louder now.

This world is not our home.

Only through it we do roam.

We are seeing things most vile,

Which is heathenism’s bile.

Demonic laws are being passed;

The roundup net is being cast.

=================

The world is preparing, but knows not why.

It follows Satan and believes his lie.

Chaos on the world is drawing nigh.

As much as you try, it won’t pass you by.

=================

Soon will come disaster, but the Christians won’t be here,

Because they’ve been raptured by Jesus; it’s now so near.

=================
