Gone

Gone are the  demons, gone are the gangs
No more mafia in their ranks.

Gone are the criminals, don't need police.
Don't need lawyers, those reformed make peace.

Money is extinct, no more bankers or casinos.
No more insurance or debts.

All  illnesses healed, no more pain
No more hospitals, no more patients.

No more death, no more funerals
No more hearses, no more morticians.

No more war, no more weapons
No more armies, no more casualties.

No more ****, no more trafficking
No more dealers, no more slaves.

No more pollution, no more drought.
No more poverty, no more poor.

No more fear, no more hate, 
No more heartaches, no more evil.

Love all around!
When the Prince of Peace rules the earth.

Amen to that, Susan. I have the same sentiments as you when it comes to desiring the new heaven and new earth. And all the curses have been cast into the lake of fire, destroyed forever. Let the Prince of Peace come, even so, come Lord. Your faith shines brightly in your poems. I am warmed in my spirit by your thoughts of our Lord and Savior. Have a blessed day. Love and more love to you and yours.

Thank you, Freddie. The time is getting close! Check out Revelation 16:13-15 if you wish.

hi Susan, this is an interesting question and can be a controvertial one. I believe Christ will reign on the earth to set up his kingdom of righteousness, how it will be worked out I'm not sure as we'll need to wait and see but as long as we are ready and serving that's the main thing. be interested in your views on this but maybe we should continue this on soup mail if you like. blessings, Gordon

Thanks, Gordon. I wasn't sure if it was acceptable as a poem. Do you also believe that the Earth will become a paradise forever when Jesus rules from heaven?
