Notes About The Poem
Genealogy of Jesus taken from Matthew 1:1-17. a blatherskite is someone who speaks nonsense.
The Generation Gap
We see the story (in these names) of those born in Babylon (both figuratively and literally). There are breaches and enchantments and laughter (but You help us understand). While we are serving God, we see His covenants of peace and healing and of being a Helper in times of need, raising us up spiritually and disciplining us as children. You provide the necessities of life. You are to be praised and glorified as You add to Your people the church in the wilderness. Jehovah You are majestic, and Your eyes to pure to look upon all the blatherskites and their behavior. You give good gifts (better than any person gives). You establish justice and Your laws are right (Thy Word is truth). You build up, You tear down. The Earth is Yours to do with as You please. You help us forget our misery because You are our Father, the great God Jehovah is Your name. And as You covenanted with Abraham, You also gave (and gave at the proper time) the Gift of all gifts that is Jesus Who is our salvation. So don’t be shy, ask of God and He will deliver. Ask and you shall see we can be healthy, wealthy and wise in Him. Amen.
