Poem
( Concern for National Israel ) God decreed a covenant; a covenant of works, on Sinai He gave it to man: Obey the Law, from it righteousness draw, - be saved by it if you can. We labored and cried, and from it we tried, to earn our favor with God. We strained and strived, in failure we sighed, - and felt the disfavor of His rod. After many years through sorrow and tears, we discovered our nature too foul. Our confidence gone, we moved out alone, - ran to an idol named Baal. He too, was severe, filled us with fear; demanded our children to take. This was for naught, no righteousness it brought, - so him, we too, did forsake. On return to our land, we dealt with a man, many people worship as Deity. He taught mercy and grace; withstood us to face, - was nailed to a Roman tree. After the dispersion of all, denying Adam's fall, our leaders placed our trust in man. Utopia to build, by the strength of our will, - find satisfaction in life as we can. Doomed to fail, we made a Humanist hell, with torture as never before. Workers paradise gone, its doctrine all wrong, - salvation's not there anymore. Some men claim, to our “perceived” shame, that Messiah was the one crucified. They're common folk, without credentials of note, - and are quiet easily stupefied. Surely we, the learned, can readily discern, by reasoned, scholarly analysee. We're not easily fooled, as a general rule, - and we have an historic pedigree. Yet, if Abraham’s promised seed, was singular indeed, reason demands Messiah be that too. Then, our Zionist claim, to National Messianic fame, - is just another fanciful bugaboo. Should we look anew at him whom we slew, determine if his claims could have merit: The Prophets shed light on a Messiah in type; - shall we see if the scriptures declare it? In the Genesis of old, a wonderful story is told, of a singular birth - miraculous. The woman’s seed (Virgo), a virgin shall conceive, - calling him Immanuel (God with us)
