I think I have it now.' words seem just not enough in this case.' thanks and best to all who read this..
A note.' When I describe 'the furnace' I personally am not alluding to hell.' I point you to the word 'consume'
As you may know this word also means destroy.. Now this word is used many times in the Bible when people who work against God are 'consumed' sometimes by fire (killed) or handed over to their own destructive way; to their doom.' Now you may remember many times 'world leaders' have used this description of modern 1st world society 'the consumer society?' Yes?? so the destructive society??
Maybe?? Even saying we had to go to war to protect the destructive society.. Yes?? Or maybe I'm wrong..?? Anyway since a while which age of man has polluted/ caused the world more destruction??
Shorter than a candles curtsy, lower than its holders brim,
Half a glass holds no full measure
So ever seems the future dim.'
Dim before the light is gathered; from the folds & fields of dawn
Where no cockerel struts and swaggers,where no pillowed cloud is torn'
There the angels watch below them; man upon his prideful course
In The higher heights above them, sits the One upon his horse,
Bridled saddled shod and ready, waiting for the call to ride
Many mouths's commiting slander, buy and sell some tend to scorn.'
Lives of people sold and traded, slavery rife from west to east
Who will own to death and torture, can you see; mark of the beast?
Very large, the furnace growing 'consuming' all is its true course
False prophet finds the need/reasons; a certain tool its tour de force
Airway 'media', t v occult involvement, once its name was 'medium'
Elijah fought it many times, as on mt Carmel; in fire answer came to him'
