Two
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged.
Righteousness' and peace's lips together merged.
Into the great ark animals marched in pairs,
as Noah continued in obedience and prayers.
In Peleg's day, men's years were cut to half.
Two nations at war --- "son of promise" means "to laugh."
Parallel testaments fuse old with new,
scriptures aligning as smooth as glue.
The next Adam came and fulfilled the whole law.
Entreat Him with humble love and awe.
Between thieves Yeshua was crucified.
Angels greeted His tomb after He died.
Unbelievers will die a second time,
guilty of each committed crime.
The faithful will resurrect unto new life,
greeting their groom as a youthful wife.
Before you, life and death are set.
Choose whom you will serve, love your only debt.
A great light rules the day, and lessor the night.
Wield your shiny sword for truth and might.
No height or depth in all of creation
can separate believers from God's salvation.
No eye has seen; no ear has heard
God's plans beyond the living Word...

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged,
and by the fear of God men depart from evil. Proverbs 16:6
