Notes About The Poem
As concernes the write below..And there was a man..In a hair garment, eating Locusts and honey.' The he.? was Elijah who ascended Into heaven..He was questioned by the pharisees As to his identity.? Jesus said they will be ( forever looking Yet never seeing..Always listening yet never hearing.) I am not that man..John replied..To fullfill Yeshuas Words..( you see as he had returned from heaven ( he was born again!!!) The old was gone the new had Come.!!! Yeshua had caught them out..They had Failed the test..And remained blind.!!!!!! Will you Also love the darkness.? Had they asked John Were you Elijah.? The answer would have been so Different.' As it is written; without faith it is impossible to please God.)

He is slapping them with scripture'

Lord how you slap them, with scripture.'
While they keep closed their eyes.'
Remainig in blindness, all signs denied.'
The small book that John took.'
From the angel; before Gods own eyes.'
Tells all to repent.' Condemnation deny '
None shall see His Holyness without Changing inside, into timlessness be ever
Born anew, from taking Jesus as your Lord
True.'

Thank you Yann.. The Word of God 'is like an intricate dance' it states let God be true and all men liars. John the baptist a Man was not completley/brutally.. Honest in his reply..God however states to the pharisees Elijah has already come and you did as you wanted with him..So that was the truth of God..Just in a few lines the depth of the bible is displayed.'

A Bible reader has to bring in erroneous concepts of justice to compensate for suffering -- when reincarnation was taken out of Bible study by priests and scribes, it was at the cost of Truth and personal responsibility. Without reincarnation as a primary focus, the bible is a circle of confusion and contradiction. Christ said to the thief on the cross, today you will be with me in heaven. He left out, also you will need to come back and make atonement. I'm certain that was eventually explained. Just my opinion. Having a strong sense of personal past lives and experience. This does not contradict the fact that Christ shed His blood for our sins to be forgiven. I profoundly believe this as well. Washed clean by the blood of Christ. We must abide in His Divine Circulation. John the Baptist embodied the spirit of Elijah. Spirit is the real and eternal manifestation of presence.

All things are possible with God..' So we hear of Melchizedech..Lazrus I do not beleive in re-incarnation as a matter of course.' Yet if God wishes to do it in Cetain circumstances He is more than capable! as with Yeshua..He did such Who can tell Him no.? Joe Dimino..He has put realizations in my mind I would never have thought of on my own.' All blessings.)

The concept of reincarnation takes away power from priests and the church when it comes to absolution. Putting more emphasis on person responsibility and personal relationship with God -- not needing middle men. Even with the church, it is about control. Power over others to secure ones own. Dominion.
