The Heavens Parted

   
    The Heavens parted, the sea split in two
        Dry land appeared, the Israelites walked through

    Six weeks later they stood at Sinai, as one they said
       “Everything in your Torah, we will gladly do” 

    A revolution occurred, a Covenant made
       between a People and God, a firm foundation laid

   And though the People have too often strayed
       the Covenant remains, 3,348 years ~ to this very day

I know a man who fullfiled the law Covered all the crosses splinters His Back open raw, the dead tree 'of hard law unyeilding' He brought to fruit, reference Arrons staff 'testimony mute' before you were He said I AM..He would soon be revealed ( as Messiah salvation accomplished by Gods own hands.)
