The Domain of Fear

The Domain of Fear The Devil and hell, all Christians would agree, Are the fate awaiting non believers like me. But if you search the Scriptures you’d see, Both Satan and hell are nowhere to be Found in the Writings of the Jews, And to Christians, this is real news. All dead people went to the place of the dead. Sheol was the name and there was no dread, Of modern heaven or hell. Good or bad, that’s where you’d dwell. But Christians came up with this permanent abode, So as to keep the believers cowed. And the Devil? Nowhere in the Jewish Scripture. Of The Satan, we have a different picture. A vassal of God, no power to harm. He only does God’s bidding, (turn down your alarm). Look at Job with God and the Adversary. There is no dissent, God need not parry. Both concepts are fiction, made up to cause fear So that followers would obey, listen and adhere.
