Premium Member USA Sells Out on an Ally




It is the second night of Passover.
Biden and team, supporting Palestine?
And accusing great Israel of genocide?
Please pass me a tall, glass of cyanide!

Our strongest ally, Israel tossed to the ground.
While AOC cheers on rabid, violent protesters ?
Universities, some, only online for semesters!
American leadership is miles away from sound!

America gives aid to Iran and its friends?
The liberal news strictly dedicated to blatant lies,
Blowing deadly, thick smoke into our blnded eyes.
This is the sad day, the greatness of America ends!

Premium Member Peace and Love

Only when the trumpets roar
Angels in chorus, enchanting all music
The day our creator calls.
I surrender my soul, O Holy One, to you
He who casts, out all shadows, from the darkness
striking at the devil's door, he himself will kneel, guilty
To our maker and his.Bowing down kissing his feet
We will raise our hands in prayer
In a regal Heavenly sound, holding the very air, we breathe.
Golden flashing silver chariots on fire blinding with his lightning, Grace
Flashing of beauty, Glory be to God 
They come racing out, from the gates, of heaven

We will bow in shame adoring
Each and every single knee,they will bend 
In honor to, our Almighty King
He who is reverent ,Father,Lord and Master

When a sun will forever sleep
The sounds of weeping,them bathing, within pools of, a beautiful light
Weeps upon destination, our final day, judgement.
Our redeemer has finally come,unto to earth ,in our salvation

The moon shades red, her light in sorrow
Clouds nacreous upon gossamer wings 
sweetly floats, upon a whispering breeze sweetly
Aeolian blowing through deep Psiturism passions 
bleeds on our Passover, have mercy
Suffering blood of our brothers and sisters
Generations of our sins ,in the Heaven,s speak
Our Lord and master has spoken
only no one heeds, his Holy voice, or call

All this talk of war, makes one weep, with sadness
suffering in a world, where we are all brothers 
born from our mother,s womb, sacred 
Sisters reminiscence in past sins 
Brought up, with the peace,within understanding and love of God
We are all his flock of children, lost

So much poison, shown on the television
We all sit back guilty and say nothing
This world we live in, is our world
Each and everyone of us, has a very powerful voice
Our rights to, freedom of speech
Ataraxia to all nations calls 

Very little love, within this world
Less today, let us pray for tomorrow
We are controlled now, with mans own greed
How heartbreaking sad, it makes one feel inside
Power is in the hands, held with love and peace
With gentle happiness and joy, it would embrace 
this ugly world ,we now, live in today





Aeolian [rotating to or caused by wind]
Ataraxia [perfect peace of mind with calmness]
Gossamer [any thin,light fabric]
Nacreous [mother of pearl clouds]
Psiturism [the soul of the wind through the trees]

A Walk In the Garden

It was still and quiet in the garden at night,
fireflies were buzzing in branches tall,
as he knelt in conversation crying out
"take this cup from my hand".
Sorrow and pain etched his heart in despair
sweat on his brow dripped from his nose,
friends fast asleep as the night wore on
shaking his head alone and forlorn.
With disappointment he shook them awake,
"Forgive us ",they said, "for letting you down",
gently he smiled at them no hint of a frown,
destiny foretold approached its hour.
A last look round at the shrubs and trees,
flowers fragrant and sweet filling night air,
a gaze at the stars , a sigh and a tear,
turning around he went without fear.

Premium Member The Perfect Sacrifice For Sin - 1 Corinthians 5:7b , John 1: 29

God has a great love for sinners
but He is perfectly holy altogether
so God devised a plan to rescue man
send His son Jesus to deliver
 
Jesus is God but also became man
lived a perfect life here in His 33 years
went to Calvary's cross with man's sin
He paid the perfect sacrifice with no tears
 
So in our place Jesus our substitute
took all our sins He the Passover lamb
so now in repentance we can find God
because Jesus now is our healing balm
 
Our eternal salvation is God's gift
bought with the price of Jesus own blood
such is the bountiful love of God
pouring over us like a crimson flood
 
Give thanks to God and God alone
for His perfect provision for our sin
Jesus Christ His only begotten son
our Passover lamb in Him we won

("For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed."
1 Corinthians 5: 7b (ESV)
 "The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!")
John 1: 29 (ESV)

Premium Member It's Passover-Seder Time

Alright, you guys, it's 'Passover-Seder-time!'
  First we party -- Drink a whole glass of wine.

Wait, wait, wait.  Back-up.  We gotta tell the story:
  Ask all those questions; Describe God in all His glory.

Hey, hey, story's over.  It's time for the meal.
  NOW we can celebrate: Eat and drink whatever we feel!

Oh, no.  I forgot.  We didn't say Hallel. * 
  Gotta sober up quick.  Can't be a m'challel. ** 

What's this now?  More wine? A third and fourth cup?.
  My head is swimming.  This gig is up.

      My eyes slowly close 
      My head hits the table;
      Sure hope this whole night
      Wasn't just one great big fable!   


* "Hallel" is Hebrew for 'Praise," a Song of Praise, sung after the Passover meal.
** A m'challel' is Hebrew for 'desecrate' - to profane that which is sacred.


Premium Member A Poem For the Pentecost

~ A Poem for Shavuos ~  *

  Two Jews, three opinions
    Twenty-nine of us need three minyans  *

  Yet when we camped at Sinai, all arguments stopped
    Jaws in heaven must have dropped

  Angels astonished - Not one human complaint?
    If they'd blood in their wings, surely they'd faint 

  What caused this dramatic transformation
    from rank division to unification? ...

  The divine souls G-d implanted within us *
    embraced their source, Divinity Itself

  At that juncture, our fragmented souls reunited
    Like 'one man with one heart,' crystal-clear sighted

  Quarreling stopped, though later to restart
    ~ For a magic moment, Divine souls not torn apart  


  ______________________________________________  
  *Notes: 'Shavuos' is the original Hebrew name of the hol-
  iday known to Christians by the name of the 'Pentecost.'  
  Shavuos means 'weeks:' Seven weeks between Passover
  and Shavuos. The next (50th) day is the holiday, the 'Pen-
  tecost.' ... A 'minyan' is a Jewish prayer quorum, which re-
  quires ten men age 13 or over for public prayers. (The 
  number '29' in the poem therefore introduces a slightly 
  jocular tone, as by rights it should be 30)... Finally, see
  Genesis 2:7, wherein G-d breathes a soul into Adam
  through his nostrils.

Premium Member The Angel of Death the Coronavirus

Oh! We should all pray to our Heavenly Father,
In our own words and in our own ways.  In
Order to have this particular Angel of Death.
Called appropriately the Coronavirus.
To pass over our states, regions,
And providences.  By passing our own
Special and beloved homelands.

There have been many death angels,
And deadly virus of the past centuries.
But sooner or later they all past away.
This angel of death is part of the
Luke 21 prophecy about the 
Pestilences plaguing the last days of
The church age.  Also known as the
Age of grace.  And the age of
Pentecost.

In the last days perilous times
Shall indeed come.  Only to
be overcome by our Victorious
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
He shed his precious blood
Cleansing us of all of our
Infirmities.  Including the
Latest one springing forth
From its host nation of China.

As the original Death Angel passed
over the children of the nation of
Israel in the book of Exodus.
When they spread the blood
Of the original Passover Lamb
Of God on the door posts
Of their dwellings.  The 
Angel of Death passed over them.
Only the first born of the children
Of the Egyptians' both man and
Beast were slain.

Thus we need to pray this Angel of
Death.  Will not only pass over us.
But cease and vanish into thin air.
We are living in the very last
Days of the age of grace.
Even so come quickly
Lord Jesus!

Love in Christ Jesus!

Premium Member Pesach Seder

P  Pass over, O God of Israel, the houses of Israel on this night
E  Egypt, unsuspecting even at midnight of what was to come
S  Smite, God of Israel, every firstborn Egyptian male
A  Anguished Cries from every Egyptian household
C  Children of Israel hurriedly exit the land
H  Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, God!

S  Spill ten drops of wine, symbolic of the ten plagues which struck Egypt
E  Eat matso* and maror** to recall 210 bitter years of slavery there
D  Dayenu***-- It would have sufficed us to have merely left Egypt
E  Elaborate in the telling the story of our going forth from Egypt
R  Recline at the table, in the manner of free people, noblemen

    Wishing one and all a Happy Passover / Easter Season!

__________________________________________________________
* Matso is poor bread: thin, cracker-like, tasteless

** Maror is bitter herb:  Horseradish root or even romaine lettuce stalks

*** Dayenu, it would have sufficed us, even had we not crossed the Red Sea...had we not traveled to the foot of Mt. Sinai,...had we not received the Tablets of the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai,...had we not eventually come to and conquered the Land of Israel

Premium Member The Lamb

In Genesis
When 
Abraham asked by Issac
"Father, where is the lamb?"
Abraham answered
" Son, God will provide a Lamb"

Abraham was
Faithful
Willing
Offered 
His son 

God 
So loved
Abraham
Stopped him
And showed him
A RAM
Temporary sacrifice

John
Met Jesus
Baptized Him
The Holy Spirit
In the form of
A Dove
Landed on Him

Afterwards
John said,
"Behold 
The Lamb
Of God 
Who takes
Away 
The sin
Of the world"

Take note 
The sacrifice
Was supposed to be
A pure, unblemished
Young lamb
In Jewish law

Jesus was The Lamb

He was sacrificed...


  

1 Corinthians 5:7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch-as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

John 1:29
New Living Translation
Jesus, the Lamb of God
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Also look at Genesis 22: 8-14

Premium Member Easter Exodus

Every spring, I remember the Exodus story.
How the twelve tribes became free from slavery, 
Escaping across the wind parted Red Sea, is a mystery. 
Easter in Italy, "Pasqua" is an echo of Passover history.

In England, Easter is the modern Exodus.
Good Friday through to Easter Monday.
It's a good long weekend holiday for us,
To be spent driving on a jammed motorway.

Hurrah! At last we see the sea at the seaside.
Saturday starts with "Full English Breakfast".
Then, promenading on Brighton Pier with pride.
Easter Monday evening, time to go home at last!

Romans demolished Jerusalem's Temple for all to see.
The twelve tribes became slaves in the diaspora.
In Rome these captured slaves eventually became free
To sing the "Song of the (Red) Sea" at Pasqua.
