-that Place That Should Not Be (Part 1)
(AS IN THE TIME OF JOSIAH)
I closed my eyes and in my mind-
I went down to that place I had known
so much about,
Thhat land where idols had been lifted up
and exalted high,
-that place that should not be-.
And I knew, as I looked up and outward,
that this place with these idols
erected high for as far as
I could see in the distance,
-this place should not be-.
These Idols,
each erected and standing
in defiance of Him
who rightfully should be exalted High
and seated on the throne,
these abominations of my own making,
each,
would have to be torn down and destroyed.
For there should nothing be
which would ever exalt itself
against Him who is rightfully seated
on the High Throne
neither against His Lordship.
All this I saw in a moment-
