Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Some call this bible book “Revelations.” It is but one revelation. The revelation of Jesus Christ, thus “Revelation.” When the voice, loud as a trumpet and the voice of rushing waters, calls John to attention, he has no courage except the encouragement the Lord strengthens him with.

The Clarion Call

(Poem base on Revelation 1:9-20)

The Clarion Call

On the Lord’s day in the Spirit,
Interrupted by a loud voice.
Time to write to seven churches.
The clarion call! Attention!

Interrupted by a loud voice.
‘Midst the lampstands, the Son of Man.
Robe, golden sash; hair, white as wool.
The clarion call! Attention!

Time to write to seven churches.
Physically on Patmos Island;
On the Lord’s day in the Spirit.
The clarion call! Attention!

“Write on a scroll what you see, John.”
Eyes like fiery flames, bronze feet.
Voice like the cascade of waters.
The clarion call! Attention!

Seven stars (angels) in right hand,
Sharp, double-edged sword from his mouth,
Countenance like the sun - full strength.
The clarion call! Attention!

Countenance like the sun - full strength.
John fell like a dead man.  “Fear not,
I am the first and last, alive…”
The clarion call! Attention!

“Alive forever and ever
I hold keys of death and Hades.”
Eyes like fiery flames, bronze feet.
The clarion call! Attention!

Valsa George May 19, 2025 at 10:11 PM In the Book of Revelations, we get the clarion call to repent and get ready for Jesus' Second Coming. He will appear in the sky in glowing flames of brilliance and majesty to separate the grain frim the chaff. Beautifully written, dear Kim.

Victor Buhagiar May 19, 2025 at 9:17 AM I have a whole book on Revelations but so hard to understand. All I know is that Jesus calls us to Him. Pity those who refuse. Jesus is compassion but also just. Kim Rodrigues May 19, 2025 at 10:33 AM I’ve read Revelation a couple times. Just did year long study but still need to dig in for myself. Hugs

Bj Legros Kelley May 19, 2025 at 4:29 AM That was the first whole book of the Bible that I read as a teen when the Lord got my attention! Love this mysterious book of the Bible that promises those who read it or hear it with a blessing! Wonderful poem Kim, you got my attention! I want to read it again, well done! Kim Rodrigues May 19, 2025 at 8:20 AM Wow! That’s great, BJ! My teen grandson too! Even with studying it is not easy. I’m still plugging away at it and asking the Holy Spirit for understanding. God bless you! If you start reading and want a sounding born you can soup mail me. Hugs
