War and Peace

He comes to shake the foundations of the earth the work of every hand of man to prove to punish the unjust and expose sin and those who hate righteousness he will remove He has sent the call into all existing lands that men should seek peace and it pursue to separate the wheat and tare and expose the hidden things men do To close every mouth that speaks a lie uncover every thought of hatred done he has freely offered you a life of truth but will not spare to scourge when they come For the stories told in time are now fixed and what is written in its scroll now firmly set he will open them for his kings to judge and those who have found mercy their sins forget Those appointed to be Kings will take their station they will rule with Christ for a thousand years subject to the rule of God is every nation no war will there exist or the inclement of fears For though the promise seems long in coming all the signs are made visable by light raise your eyes oh Israel your God comes judging and will reward those who have walked in right Be reconciled in heart to seek the truth that who you are you come to understand You are called to love truth and your brother until the peace of God lives in the land The trumpets blast call the armies to their war the winged ones ride the winds of wrath to charge and poured out is the fury of his chalice the cup of violence is deep and large For all governments of man are chains to slavery their aim to lift themselves and you to rule but Christ's intent is to lift you from this knavery that you might not become the fires fuel So make your peace and seek his mercy now for when this time arrives will be too late though undeserved the offer of forgiveness the price will be too high if delay you wait sources: all the prophets of Israel great and small COPYRIGHT © 2012 C.
