A Bowl of Preoccupation
Having stood the test of time
and coped with life’s demands
priorities are set on time
to equate with the age to come.
It’s beyond death that signifies
where an individual complies
to ensure that God may call
those who heed his invitation.
Money, fame, power and prestige,
these are villains to perfection
once that sense of focus remains
God matters all in preparation.
Stories in the bible and this generation
are swamped with moral insinuations;
where corruptions and imperfections
continue to showcase their pictures.
These may be signs of revelations
unfolding the Lord in his eschaton
on the clouds with power and transformation
judgment will take place before all creation.
The prophets of old like Jeremiah and Ezekiel
foretold destruction and other examples
Jesus and the writers of Sacred Scriptures
have commonality of apocalyptic visions.
With many comings and interpretations,
Jesus has his own framework of consummation.
Hope speaks at length through inspiration
Parallel to history of our salvation;
It’s the end of time – a Messianic time
that captures the headlines of all land.
